Xi Chao then introduced: "It was eight o'clock when I went to the grand banquet hall on the second floor. It is also open to the public in the evening, but I'm not sure what time it ends. There were performances on the stage, and there were also performances below. The audience was eating and drinking. All the light tubes inside were turned on, and naturally the wall lamps were also turned on. After these wall lamps were turned on, they actually didn't shine too far, they just added some atmosphere effects, and were mainly illuminated by a few chandeliers on the ceiling. "
Bai Fengtai said: "How big is that banquet hall?"
Xi Chao replied: "The banquet hall is very big. Do you know the overall structure of the International Hotel? The banquet hall on the second floor occupies at least about half of the second floor. I see inside that if it is a meal, a round table can be set up at the same time. If there are ten people per table...forty tables, if it’s tighter, fifty tables are also okay.”
Bai Fengtai thought for a while and basically had nothing to ask. After all, Xi Chao's previous paper report was very detailed. Other things can be known from his paper report, so he said: "Well, that's it. This time I want to ask you about this matter. In addition, the boss informs you that in Shanghai, you will be in the same position as you are now." Just live a life of concealing your identity. If you don't participate in the final action, I will only let you be responsible for the investigation if anything happens in the future. In this way, you will have to live in Shanghai for a relatively long time. Is that okay? "
"No problem." Xi Chao said, "I will definitely obey the boss's orders."
"Okay." Bai Fengtai said, took out a small book from his pocket, handed it to him, and said: "This is the contact password of several other investigators. Write it down carefully and then burn it. Your boy's investigation The boss values the ability very much. So when conducting investigations in the future, you will lead and direct these people."
"Yes." Xi Chao smiled and said, "Thank you boss for your love, and thank you for your cultivation, Brother Tai."
Bai Fengtai patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, that's it. I'm going back. Don't forget. You must remember to burn this book."
"I'll remember it right away," Xi Chao said.
Bai Fengtai stood up, said goodbye to Xi Chao, and went back to report to Fan Keqin. Xi Chao immediately began to write down the contact password in the small book, and then burned it to ashes.
Bai Fengtai showed several investigators the more detailed drawings about the wall lamp that he had taken from Xi Chao. Let them go to all the stores, shopping malls and other places that sell lamps on the market to look for them.
Then he reported the situation to Fan Keqin. Now just waiting for the light fixtures. Shanghai is said to be big, but it is really big. After all, it is a financial center. But if you want to say small, it's quite small. Just do the math. It’s literally only ten miles away. Of course, that refers to those things that the foreign devils had obtained before, and that was the specific location. But over time, other places were also deeply affected. Therefore, there are gradually more and more places selling foreign goods.
But when it comes to selling lamps, there are not so many. This isn’t just shopping, it’s just wandering around without any purpose. These investigators all have specific targets, so as long as they go into a shopping mall or something, they just go straight to the target. Check around the local stores that sell lamps and lanterns. If you don't want to switch directly to another store, there is no need to delay things at all. Anyway, buying lamps and sabotaging the New Year's Eve party held by the Japanese and puppets were not even close together, so they really didn't need to hide their tracks.
So, the progress was very fast. Only on the afternoon of the next day, an agent found the lamp in a small shop on Notre Dame Road. However, the wall lamps and small crystal balls that form a column in the grand banquet hall on the second floor of the International Hotel are full of flowers. But the color I bought in this small shop is relatively simple, with a little bit of bland red, very bland.
The agent who bought the lamp even asked the store if they had any other colors. The store said that there are also solid colors and patterns, but the price of such lamps is not cheap, so he only bought this kind of product. If you want other colors, you can help place the order.
The agent asked a few more questions, and after learning that there was no difference except for the color, he spent money to buy two of these light red wall lamps.
After these two wall lamps were brought to Fan Keqin by Bai Fengtai, Fan Keqin didn't mind the color of the wall lamps. As long as everything else is the same, there's no problem.
Immediately and Bai Fengtai, no one started to study the wall lamp. Fan Keqin took a puff of his cigar, put it in the ashtray, then turned over the wall lamp and looked at the appearance carefully.
Small balls, one next to another, in a string. In fact, it looks rather fancy on the outside, but inside is a normal lamp holder with a light bulb screwed onto the waiting seat. The lamp holder's wires extend from the bottom of the cylinder below and are hidden in a metal bracket. Then there is a screw hole on the other end of the bracket. Turn the screw in and it can be screwed to the wall. Of course, the light wires need to be connected to the power supply in advance.
Fan Keqin also knows some electrical knowledge, at least the principles of neutral wire, live wire and switch. How to connect this thing, basically it's a man, I won't say how advanced it is. But anyone who has done the same thing will understand a little bit.
But after reading the structure inside, Fan Keqin felt a little worried. If you put the TNT ladder inside a light bulb, it will be fine if you don't turn on the light, but as long as you turn on the light, the top of the bulb will be blocked by the TNT ladder, and the upward light cannot escape.
If you put it below, there is no support. However, Fan Keqin quickly thought of something, that is, he could appropriately set a small price peg for TNT. Just hang it on the bracket extending out from the bottom of the lamp holder, and it seems to be fine. Moreover, it is dark under the light. After turning on the light, even if there is nothing, the bottom position of the light is blocked by the lamp holder, and there is still a shadow. So if you hang up the TNT ladder, it will be fine.
But the bracket extending from the lamp holder is straight. So Fan Keqin studied for a while and thought that the hook of the TNT ladder could be made longer so that it would not hang on the bracket of the lamp holder. Instead it hangs from a small support rail that supports the cylindrical lampshade.
In this way, the TNT ladder can be hung. As long as no one lies there and looks up, no one can see it. And you can also modify the TNT ladder by making a round shape with cardboard underneath so that people think it is a light holder. Then the true nature of TNT is no longer visible.
Just think of it and start doing it. Fan Keqin mentioned this idea to Bai Fengtai, and the two of them found the materials and started working immediately. The thing is also very simple, a wooden stick that simulates the TNT...
