Chapter 10: Watermark

Gu Anran came through the door of Lantern Studio at nine on Monday morning.

She carried a laptop under her arm and had her chopsticks in her hair.

"Good morning, Mr. Yu," she said, to the kitchen. "Same suit."

Yu stood by the kettle with a mug in his hand.

He had not slept, and he had stood at that kettle for twenty minutes.

The other choice was lying in the loft beside a man who had said Whale in his sleep.

"How did you find me?"

"You turned your phone off at three, which has never happened," said Gu. "I tracked Lu instead."

"He's been sleeping in his car in the Hexin car park, by the way. And then I tracked you."

She put the laptop on the counter.

"I'm Gu Anran. You're Mr. Jiang. I hear you build things."

"I build watermark readers," said Jiang Ke, who had come in behind her with a bag of buns.

"Show me."

Jiang did.

He plugged a small grey stick into the laptop and dragged a file onto the screen, and a line of green figures scrolled down it.

"Every build we hand out is stamped," he said. "Not the visible part."

"The files carry a tag with the server that produced them and the login that asked for the copy."
