Looking through the scope, everything about the opponent is clearly visible.
The gunman must have been a veteran. He was well concealed, with only half of his head exposed by the window.
After carefully observing it again and confirming that it was a head wearing a hat and not a decoy, Ma Xiaoguang adjusted his breathing again and aimed the crosshairs of the scope at the smaller half of the head.
It was the first time Ma Xiaoguang touched this "Shui Lianzhu" gun, and he had not calibrated it himself, but the situation was urgent and he couldn't care less.
So Ma Xiaoguang didn't have much confidence that he could hit it with one hit.
But it won't work without fighting. The fat man is risking his life as a bait on the street.
If you stay a few more times, I'm afraid you will have to pay out the pension. At that time, Ma Xiaoguang can't even imagine how he will go to Chongqing to face the old lady...
Even if he misses a single hit, he can still buy the fat man some time!
At least draw the opponent's firepower over and give the fat man a chance to escape.
After working as an agent for so long, Ma Xiaoguang felt nervous for the first time.
No time to think too much!
There was a soft "pop" sound, and the bullet came out.
One-sixteenth of a second later, Ma Xiaoguang saw the opponent in the scope disappear, and a pool of blood flowed from the dormer window.
After the chaos on the street, it has returned to its usual busyness.
Ma Xiaoguang leaned on the window and observed carefully for a while through the scope, and then confirmed that there was no danger.
Finally he breathed a sigh of relief.
After finding a gun case and packing the trophies, he groped around on the opponent's gunman's body, peeled off the opponent's coat and put it on, packed some scattered small things, and then evacuated the tower quietly.
The opponent's gun case was well disguised, and Ma Xiaoguang just carried it on his back - but the shape was a bit nondescript, and it should have looked like an artist.
But now being able to counterattack the opponent is already a blessing in disguise, it's like winning a lottery.
This is not a drama, and you have to leave the show with a bang.
The most important thing now is to keep a low profile!
This is also the reason why Ma Xiaoguang put on the other party's coat. Although no danger was found after observation, now that Chief Ma has been frightened, everything is added with caution.
Coming out of the tower, Ma Xiaoguang walked along the street in the direction he came from on Robertson Road - he had to find the fat man quickly and get out of the way quickly!
Walking quickly to where Fatty was just now, the workers had already moved the goods on the roadside into the shop, and there was no one on the roadside.
"Eh? Did this damn fat guy escape?"
Ma Xiaoguang searched suspiciously for traces of Fatty.
If he weren't afraid of being exposed, he would have shouted at the top of his lungs like in a drama.
"Shhhhh..."
Ma Xiaoguang suddenly heard someone whistling somewhere near him.
After looking around again, he suddenly opened the lid of a trash can.
"Oh! The boss is really awesome! But the taste in this outfit is so bad!"
The fat man stood up from the trash can and said with a smile.
Ignoring the surprised glances around him, the fat man climbed out of the trash can unhurriedly and smiled happily at Ma Xiaoguang.
"Let's go! Your look is too eye-catching."
Ma Xiaoguang said to the fat man, somewhat dumbfounded.
After that, the two of them walked a few steps quickly and jumped into a secluded alley nearby.
"Damn! I almost hit the iron plate this time!"
When he came to a deserted place, the fat man finally regained his composure and kept sighing.
"Are you injured?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked with concern while groping around the fat man's body.
"Don't... don't bother me. It's okay. I wasn't shot. I just fell off the bicycle. The fall was not light. I feel pain now... hiss!"
The fat man had now come to his senses and began to feel pain all over his body. He grinned and said.
"We are already very lucky. You wait here for a while, I will find a taxi, and we will evacuate quickly..."
As Ma Xiaoguang said this, he left the sniper rifle to Fatty and walked back to the street.
What happened next was uneventful. Twenty minutes later, the two got into a taxi and left Hongkou.
Siming Village safe house.
Ma Xiaoguang smoked Hardman while writing and drawing in his notebook. There was also a topographic map of Hongkou and a thick phone book on the coffee table in front of him.
Next to him, Xiao Lu was applying medicine to a shirtless fat man.
Although there was no gunshot wound on the fat man's body, the fall was serious. There were bruises and purple spots everywhere, and the pain made him bared his teeth at Commander Ma.
"Oh, Fatty, you fell really hard! There are so many colors on this body..."
Xiao Lu said jokingly while applying disinfectant to the fat man's scratches.
"Hey! There's nothing I can do. It's God's blessing that I didn't get shot. I'll find some cold water later...you can help me apply cold compresses to the places I can't reach."
While the fat man was talking, he began to shiver - in this cold weather, who is shirtless and doesn't shiver?
Ma Xiaoguang stood aside without saying a word, gritting his teeth as if he was in more pain than the fat man, and picked up the map again to stare at the flowers.
Just when the fat man had finished treating the scratches and was about to treat the contusion, he saw Ma Xiaoguang suddenly stood up.
Ma Xiaoguang picked up the phone, dialed MISS Liu and Charlie Cao, told the names of several factories on the map and phone book, then put down the phone with relief and sat down.
"What? Boss, is there a way to find the other party's nest?"
When the fat man saw this, he ignored the pain in his body and asked expectantly.
"It should be about the same. I have preliminary analyzed a few targets...I have told MISS Liu and Charlie and asked them to help find out which one it is as soon as possible."
Ma Xiaoguang said to Fatty and Xiao Lu with a smile.
"You can lock it down so quickly? That guy doesn't have any documents on him..."
The fat man asked with some confusion.
Ma Xiaoguang smiled but did not answer. He nodded at Xiao Lu and encouraged him to teach the fat man.
Xiao Lu said with some embarrassment: "Based on the time you were in distress and the place where the other party called, as long as the telephone exchange has an internal line, you can find out where the public phone called."
"In addition, you can infer the other party's contact point or stronghold location through the phone call. Although it is not necessarily the core location, it is relevant."
"Also, even if the other party uses technical means to bypass the phone line, they can still search nearby."
"Finally, the sniper site and their stronghold will not take more than 20 minutes to walk, because sniping requires time to prepare. The light, wind speed, terrain... these all require time to observe..."
Xiao Lu explained to Fatty the basis for Ma Xiaoguang's inference point by point.
Listening to Xiao Lu's answer, Ma Xiaoguang nodded with satisfaction...
An hour later, Fatty had packed up and put on his coat, and Ma Xiaoguang received a call from MISS Liu.
"Ninth Cotton Mill of Neon Domestic and Foreign Cotton Co., Ltd....confirmed!"
After saying that, Ma Xiaoguang gently put down the phone receiver.
"Sir, can I go with you?"
Xiao Lu asked with some anticipation.
Ma Xiaoguang thought for a moment, nodded, and agreed.
You have to make some preparations before going this time. You can't fight an unprepared battle like in the morning. That would be the same as sending yourself to death.
However, since this is an exploration, not a desperate mission, it is impossible to bring too many weapons, and you cannot bring those special weapons, you can only bring some conventional things.
For example, self-defense weapons such as twenty-shot rifles and Browning pistols.
Knives such as daggers and daggers.
There are also auxiliary tools such as special nylon wire ropes.
Of course, finally, there was something that Chief Ma specifically requested - a body armor.
Although this thing may be useful, it’s actually not very useful. Even if it’s useless, it’s actually much better than wearing nothing at all. Whether it’s bulletproof or not doesn’t entirely depend on performance – sometimes it depends on luck.
This was not said by the fat man, but by Big Mouth Old Li.
It's a pity that Lao Li is still in Jinling at the moment...
There was no time to miss Lao Li any more, so the three of them simply rested their stomachs, packed up, and drove back to Hongkou in the small truck.
By this time, it was almost dark, just right.
Twenty minutes later, when they arrived in Hongkou, Xiao Lu parked the car at a peripheral contact point introduced by Charlie Cao - a branch of Xiangsheng Company.
The three of them were all wearing the common workers' overalls here, with shabby long coats on top - it seemed that all the workers after work were dressed like this, so they wouldn't attract any attention.
The three of them did not walk together - that would have attracted too much attention. Ma Xiaoguang walked in the front alone, while Xiao Lu and Fatty walked behind, carrying some cooked food and soju.
This looks like the workers coming and going from get off work in the factory area.
Ma Xiaoguang and the two brothers behind him were about twenty meters apart, not too close, not too far.
After walking for more than 20 minutes, passing through a maze of new and old houses, we could already see the factory building of the Ninth Cotton Mill in the distance.
However, at this time, Ma Xiaoguang had stopped, took out half of the unfinished cigarette, lit it on the advertising column leaning on the roadside, and started smoking.
"There's a situation!"
When the fat man saw this, he whispered to Xiao Lu - this was the agreed code. Smoking half a cigarette meant discovering the situation. Taking out a pack and smoking one meant it was safe.
You can't be careful. The other party was able to arrange a sniper trap in a hurry in the morning, which proves that this spy stronghold is anything but simple!
"It seems that Lao Li is coming tonight. This order of food is not enough... Don't look at that guy, he can eat! He also drinks a lot!"
Xiao Lu also reacted, slightly raising his voice and speaking to the fat man.
The two of them turned around and stopped at a cooked food stall on the roadside, and began to pick and choose there.
While picking up food, Xiao Lu glanced at the place where Ma Xiaoguang was smoking just now with the corner of his eye.
At this time, Xiao Lu discovered that Ma Xiaoguang suddenly disappeared!
