It was said to be the day after tomorrow, but the next day Ma Xiaoguang couldn't wait to go to Hongkou with Charlie Cao to investigate the situation of the Ninth Cotton Mill.
This time the two of them no longer sneaked in quietly through the streets and alleys like the previous two times, but went in openly and openly with Detective Maiwen of the Laozha Patrol Room.
Of course, the reason for going in was good and honest - there were explosions and gunshots last night, and the patrol room was going to come anyway.
Even if the police officer doesn't want to come, the factory next to him still has to report the crime...
Despite his reluctance, the person in charge of the cotton factory, Koike Roshi, had no choice but to open the door of the cotton factory and let Inspector Maiwen and his party in.
"The explosion was caused by the old power boiler and excessive pressure..."
Zhao Rongkui, the safety director of the cotton mill, said to Inspector Mai Wen with a smile on his face.
Ma Xiaoguang and Charlie Cao were wearing patrol uniforms, and MISS Liu would have couldn't help laughing if he saw them.
The two of them were dressed as a red-headed Asan, their faces painted dark, and except for their two eyes, only their teeth were white.
In fact, the look was pretty good. What Charlie Cao wasn't used to was the smell of curry and Asan's sweat in his uniform. The smell was really a bit heady.
It was also a good thing that Chief Ma had money and gave Inspector Mai Wen an extra month's salary and two capitation fees for the arresters.
He also agreed to let Charlie Cao take the detective to Xian Lesi to have fun afterwards, so Detective Maiwen agreed half-heartedly...
But the Neon people are very cunning. Although they agreed to the patrol room's request, they refused to let Hua in. In desperation, Chief Ma had no choice but to make this move.
However, pretending to be the third brother is not without its advantages. At least you don't have to talk to the annoying Japanese and traitors, and you only have to focus on the areas you care about.
The cotton mill had obviously done a good job in dealing with the aftermath, and indeed they took Inspector Maivin and his party to the boiler room.
The boiler room was in a mess. There was actually a broken boiler. More than half of the tiles on the entire roof were gone. It looked like a real boiler explosion scene.
Inspector Mai Wen raised his eyes and glanced at Ma Xiaoguang and Ma Xiaoguang. It seemed a little unexpected, and even more helpless. It seemed that Inspector Mai Wen had a very professional ethics. After receiving the money, he still had to do enough work.
However, Inspector Mai Wen was not just for nothing. He rolled his eyes and said to Zhao Rongkui extremely seriously: "In addition to the boiler explosion, there were also reports of gunshots in the cotton mill last night. We are worried about the gangsters last time." The remnants of the Decepticons need to investigate carefully!"
"Inspector Mai, some areas here are special areas and no one is allowed to enter!"
Zhao Rongkui was a little anxious and said with a blush.
"No! This is a concession, and everything must be done within the rules of the law!"
Inspector Mai Wen said seriously, showing no mercy to Zhao Rongkui.
"Inspector, these are all business secrets. If they are exposed, I will not be able to escape my involvement! It will not look good if the consulate finds the Ministry of Industry Bureau..."
Zhao Rongkui said anxiously when he saw Inspector Maiwen's businesslike look. As he spoke, he quietly stuffed a roll of banknotes into Inspector Maiwen's hand.
Inspector Maivin quietly took a look and saw that it was actually British pounds!
Then, Inspector Mai Wen glanced at Ma Xiaoguang next to him. After receiving an encouraging look, he softened his tone and said, "Oh? Really? Then, you find a floor plan of the factory and mark the places where you can't go. We'll Just don’t go.”
Zhao Rongkui hesitated for a moment, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Inspector, please wait in the office for a moment. I'll go ask Director Xiaoike for instructions..."
Inspector Mai Wen was obviously very dissatisfied with Zhao Rongkui's statement. He threw his gloves on the desk angrily, sat down on the chair, and put his feet on the table politely.
Ma Xiaoguang and Charlie Cao were now in a supporting role, so naturally they couldn't talk much. They could only stand there with the other two Asan brothers in a military posture with their chests and belly protruding.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Rongkui slowly came to the Security Department office with a floor plan.
"it's OK now?"
Inspector Maiwen asked with some annoyance.
"Inspector, please move. However, Factory Director Koike has given instructions. We can only inspect the production area. We cannot take pictures. We must accompany you on site. Please forgive me!"
Zhao Rongkui bit the bullet and said to Inspector Mai Wen, who had an unkind look.
"Let's go!"
Inspector Maiwen stood up and walked out of the office without looking back.
There was nothing worth mentioning in the subsequent inspections. They were all indifferent cotton mill workshops, cotton yarn warehouses, office buildings...
In short, everything can be seen. What cannot be seen is between two walls, such as the area behind a high cement wall behind an office building, and underground drainage facilities...
In short, what you can't watch is that Zhao Rongkui paid for it and refused to let the patrols watch it.
After a round of inspection, the patrol officers got into their cars and left quickly.
Looking at the police car going away, Zhao Rongkui let out a long breath. There was too much movement last night. If Director Xiaochi hadn't responded promptly, it would have been difficult for the patrol officers to deal with it today.
In the police car, Ma Xiaoguang took the floor plan and folded it, then gave Inspector Mai Wen a stack of banknotes, this time a U.S. knife.
"Well, not bad, Mr. Ma, it's a pleasure to work with you!"
Inspector Melvin put the banknotes away with great satisfaction.
"It will be more pleasant in the future. I have to do official business and don't delay making money... I am an official for thousands of miles just for my mouth. I am an official for thousands of miles just for money. Inspector Mai has traveled thousands of miles to come to Shanghai. In addition to being violent, he still has to do more. Think for yourself.”
Ma Xiaoguang did not forget to tell Inspector Mai some ancient truths.
There was a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere in the carriage.
Siming Village safe house.
"Isn't this floor plan very watery?"
Looking at the quick-drawing floor plan of the cotton mill on the coffee table, the fat man asked Ma Xiaoguang with some confusion.
"That's for sure, but based on this water-filled floor plan and combined with our investigation, we can still mark out a rough dangerous area."
"And I'm not going to let my brothers take risks this time. No one can go... If I go again, I'm afraid I'll have to tell the truth inside!"
Ma Xiaoguang said to the three brothers in a solemn tone.
"Then what should we do? Just let this matter go?"
Xiao Lu asked angrily when he heard this.
No wonder Xiao Lu was angry. Since joining the special operations team, everyone has never suffered such a big loss!
"Damn it! Who said we'd just let it go? This time I want the little devil's cotton factory to be completely destroyed! It's clean and tidy, and there's no need to check anything inside. There's no need to worry about it! There's nothing good in the designated area!"
"And I said I would serve it tomorrow, yes, that's tomorrow. One more day and I lose! Act now and start preparing."
Chief Ma said through gritted teeth with a fierce expression.
The next afternoon, on the Suzhou River, a tugboat towed a barge to the shore opposite the Ninth Cotton Mill.
On the barge, Ma Xiaoguang, Xiao Lu and Fatty were making preparations on the deck, while Charlie Cao was steering the rudder in the cabin of the tugboat.
The barge was loaded with sand, which was piled into two piles. In the middle of the two piles were Ma Xiaoguang and his two brothers.
In front of everyone was a pile of red and green things. It looked like a huge pile, and there were several cylinders as tall as one person.
"What the hell is this? Boss, are you planning to celebrate in advance?"
The fat man asked curiously.
No wonder the fat man was wondering, he had been recuperating in the safe house in Siming Village all day, and he didn't even take on such a major action as pretending to be Brother Asan. Naturally, he had no idea of the careful preparations that Chief Ma had been busy with all day.
But today is the day that Chief Ma said he would destroy the enemy's den of thieves, so the fat man naturally came to witness the miracle.
"Hehe, in at most an hour, I will let the Japanese cotton factory go to heaven. Do you believe it or not?"
Ma Xiaoguang has regained his composure now, and is completely different from the anxious and pale face he had two days ago.
"An hour later? Why?" the fat man asked puzzledly.
"Because in an hour, the wind direction will be from the barge to the direction of the spinning mill, and the wind strength will be level 2 to level 3, which is just right!" Ma Xiaoguang said to the fat man with a smile.
"Is your old man Zhuge Liang possessed? Can you borrow the east wind?" The fat man was even more surprised when he heard this.
"Why borrow the east wind? I don't know how to do that stuff...but I can read the newspaper! The head of the family helped me find the newspaper! Isn't there a weather forecast in the newspaper?"
"And yesterday I specially asked MISS Liu to contact the weather station to confirm the weather and wind direction in this area!"
Ma Xiaoguang smiled and said to the two of them. As he spoke, he handed over two newspapers and a hand-drawn topographic map.
The topographic map is very simple, but the exact location of the cotton mill is marked on it, corresponding to the location of the river bank here.
"Okay, let's get started. Inflate the ball. Don't overfill it. Pay attention to safety. This iron bottle is filled with hydrogen. A spark will explode!"
Ma Xiaoguang said to the two brothers.
"I asked you, why don't you smoke?" the fat man said suddenly.
"After the balloon is inflated, hang a bomb, tie it to the boat, and let it fly together when the wind direction is almost right..."
Ma Xiaoguang ordered Xiao Lu and Fatty.
"It's no problem to fly over, so how did this thing fall down?" The fat man continued to ask.
"We have to thank the Japs who ambushed us that day. Didn't they surrender a Shui Lian Zhu? We also have a scope. The distance from here is no more than 400 meters. If we can't hit it, the Smiling Tiger should die!"
Ma Xiaoguang said with a joking smile, greeting the Smiling Tiger in passing.
In one sentence, the two brothers suddenly realized and quickly started to inflate the ball, but it made the smiling tiger in North China sneeze.
Just after inflating a balloon, the fat man suddenly asked with some hesitation: "Sir, your shooting skills will definitely be no problem in popping these balloons, but fire and water are ruthless. What if the explosion spreads to the surrounding areas? Isn't it bad to hurt innocent people?" Some of those other factories are owned by us Chinese!"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Lu was also stunned. He quickly stopped what he was doing and looked at Commander Ma with some worry.
