Fan Keqin nodded and said, "Well, that's good. Let's sit down, smoke a cigarette and wait for them." After saying that, he took out a box of cigarettes and threw one to the other party.
The two men immediately tinkered with the cigarettes. After tinkering for about half an hour, Lao Qi came back first. As soon as he entered the door, he was holding a large briefcase in his hand.
He first placed the big bag on Fan Keqin's desk, opened it, and said, "Virgin, these are the three grappling hooks I broke off with steel bars. The rope is just ordinary hemp rope. Do you think it's okay?"
Fan Keqin took it out and saw that the steel bars were ordinary ones, about the same thickness as the thinnest section of the little finger. They were mixed with each other and branched out into three prongs in the front to form a hook. There is also a small circle bent at the end, the hemp rope is passed through this small circle, and then tied with a dead knot.
Fan Keqin took it in his hand, looked back and forth, and pulled it a little harder. It was still relatively strong, and asked, "The bends in this steel bar are not easy to twist. How did you do it?"
Lao Qi smiled and said, "It's simple. I went to the construction site in Nanxin District. It's not winter now, so the few ordinary people looking at the scene didn't even see me. I went in and found the kind of pier that requires reinforced concrete. , put on gloves, hold the three longer ones that are exposed to the outside, and twist them around a few times to directly twist them into shape. Then use the large steel pliers that you bought at the hardware store before, and pinch off one section. That’s it.” At this point, he paused and said, “I’ve made three in total. Virgo, is that enough?”
Fan Keqin nodded and said, "That's enough. Two are enough. One for normal use and one for backup. This is the configuration a patrol team should have."
As he spoke, he threw a cigarette to Lao Qi, who caught it, took a puff, and asked, "Virgin, is the patrol you just mentioned the identity we are using to cover this mission?"
Fan Keqin nodded, without concealing anything, and replied directly, "Yes, I've thought about it, we can just use the name of the Security Bureau's river patrol team."
After hearing this, Lao Qi thought for a moment and said, "Does our security bureau have a river patrol team?"
Zhao Debiao replied from the side, "No, I haven't heard of it."
Fan Keqin affirmed, "No."
Lao Qi was startled, and then he understood a little bit, and said, "You mean, although our Security Bureau does not have a patrol team, the other party definitely doesn't know if there is one. After all, our Security Bureau is a newly established agency, and some agents in the military command , although they know that our department exists, they actually don’t know much about us.”
Fan Keqin nodded and said, "Yes, and what we show them is also the ID of our security bureau. In this way, after these people see it, even if they have ulterior motives, they will not immediately take drastic actions. After all, Strictly speaking, the Security Bureau now has some contact with the military commander, but it maintains true independence. What are they afraid of? It is the family rules of the military commander. So at this time, we give them some hope, so the possibility of cooperation will be A big improvement.”
Several people talked about this plan for a while. Around 4:30 in the afternoon, Zhuang Xiaoman and Wang Zhanyuan came back.
After everyone was seated, Zhuang Xiaoman's report was very brief. Wang Zhanyuan said, "Virgo, I mainly checked the waters near Dadukou and found that the width of the waterway at the narrowest place is about 4780 meters. However, considering that it is winter, it should be narrower, so the narrowest The place should be four hundred meters away."
When Zhuang Xiaoman saw him finish speaking, he followed up with a report: "What I was checking was the width of the waterway at the Jiangjin bend, but the information from the Hydrological Bureau was really not available. I looked through the information nearby for a long time and couldn't find it at all. Later, I found it according to the number." , checked further, and found information from five years ago, that is, further down, in the Langya Bend water area, there is a place with a width of 330 meters. According to what Captain Wang just said, the waterway will become narrower in winter. Some, so it is speculated that it should be about three hundred meters, or even less. This width should meet the requirements. However... this is old data from five years ago, and it is not clear whether it is accurate or not. I even asked a few staff at the Hydrology Bureau, but they didn’t know either.”
After hearing this, Zhao Debiao said from the side, "The corpse is a plain meal. Virgo, this is the case for the Hydrological Bureau. Otherwise, I would like to go to the dock again and ask the ship bosses. They run ships all the year round, so I think they should know better."
Fan Keqin felt a little upset after hearing this. After thinking about it for a moment, he nodded immediately and said, "Well, you have to go now. It's already past four forty. If it gets later, there may be no one on the pier. You drive to."
Zhao Debiao immediately stood up, said "Yes!" and turned around and left the office.
Fan Keqin said, "Lao Qi, are you still living with the young master and the others?"
Lao Qi smiled and said, "Sometimes we rent a house near the Security Bureau. Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for the two departments to come home late after get off work. But the old house is also there. What do you mean?"
Fan Keqin nodded and said, "Oh, that's right. The young master and Lao Dao made bags. Although buying things must be fast, sewing a dozen large bags is still time-consuming, so they arrived It's not surprising that you haven't come here yet. I think if you still live with them, you can go back from get off work early and have a look."
Lao Qi replied, "The original house was kept secret, so I feel that after the two of them finished shopping, they must have gone to the old house to do this. Then I will go and have a look now. Do you need to give you a call?"
Fan Keqin said, "Well, give me a call."
"Okay. Then I'll leave now." After that, Lao Qi stood up and walked out of the office door.
Wang Zhanyuan said, "Virgo, except for a few big bags, we are just about to leave. When should we leave?"
Fan Keqin said, "The target is tomorrow morning... We will definitely leave before tomorrow evening. We will see the specific situation. Don't worry, I will ask Xiaoman to contact you then. Okay, I will go to the Hydrological Bureau to check the information this afternoon and go home early." Rest. Also, don’t forget to prepare your own weapons.”
Wang Zhanyuan nodded and said, "Okay, Virgo, I'll go back first." After saying that, he stood up, nodded to Zhuang Xiaoman again, then turned and walked out of the office.
"Let's see if this gun is suitable for use." After Wang Zhanyuan went out, Fan Keqin took out the ppk specially designed for German agents from the holster under his arm, then found the silencer and handed it to Zhuang Xiao Man.
