Master He held his knees and panted for a while, then pulled the bolt and loaded the gun with a clatter, and the muzzle of the Lee-Enfield rifle was aimed at the black figure in front of him.
"Lao He, you can scare me, but you really want to shoot me!" He said solemnly in a loud voice, deliberately letting the shadow hear him.
Master He said: "That guy's nickname is Rabbit, which means he can run as fast as a rabbit. If we keep chasing him until dawn, we will be tired and vomit blood, and we won't even be able to catch the shadow..."
If you want to enter the Yihe Cotton Factory in a reasonable manner, you must not let outsiders see the flaws. All details must withstand investigation.
Rabbit's name is Lin Wangchuan. He is a famous snitch in Shanghai and has always been on the wanted list of the patrol room.
A week ago, Xu Siqi received a tip that Lin Wangchuan secretly sneaked back to the concession and hid in a concubine's house.
Tonight, in order to cooperate with Jiang Bin's action, we ordered the arrest of Lin Wangchuan.
During the arrest process, Zheng Zheng deliberately made noise.
At the slightest sign of trouble, Lin Wangchuan immediately sensed the danger. He took a self-defense dagger and jumped out of the back window.
The arrest plan designed by Xu Siqi was to force Lin Wangchuan to come to Yihe Cotton Factory.
Sure enough, after Lin Wangchuan escaped, he saw patrols and interceptions everywhere, so he had no choice but to run towards Sanma Road.
Hearing the sound of the gun being pulled, he was really startled. But after hearing the solemn words, he felt confident and ran as fast as he could.
A person's name can be wrong, but his nickname can never be wrong.
Lin Wangchuan's foot strength is extraordinary, and he really runs like a rabbit.
Seeing a wall blocking his way, he sped up and jumped, thrust the dagger hard into the cracks in the bricks, and climbed up the wall in three leaps and twos.
There was a row of oil barrels stacked in the corner. He jumped down gently, and the oil barrels made a clunking sound.
Obviously, these are empty oil barrels.
"Woof!"
A dog barked from the shadows.
Snitches may be afraid of everything, but they are definitely not afraid of dogs.
Lin Wangchuan was already prepared. He took out a piece of spiced dried meat from his arms and threw it into the shadow.
The big dog smelled the aroma of meat and ran to the backyard with the dried meat in his mouth.
"What is this place?"
Lin Wangchuan murmured in a low voice as he jumped down from the oil drum.
A flashlight flashed in the distance.
Lin Wangchuan hurriedly hid behind the oil drum.
Hearing the barking of the dog, two guards on night duty came out of the office building and waved around with flashlights.
At this time, more than 20 uniformed police officers, plus a dozen plainclothes police officers, surrounded him from different directions and met at a fork in the road in front of the Yihe Cotton Factory.
Beep!
A Ford sedan sped up.
As soon as the car door opened, Xu Siqi stepped out of the car, and several police officers leading the team hurriedly came to greet him.
Xu Siqi looked at them and asked, "Have they been caught?"
"Report to Inspector Xu, we haven't caught him yet." A police sergeant bowed and replied.
Xu Siqi frowned: "You mean, the person ran away?"
"Judging from the current situation, he must have hidden in the factory."
"Yihe Cotton Factory?"
"yes."
"sure?"
"Confirmed. I just sent someone to check and there are signs of climbing on the outer wall of the cotton mill."
"Go in and search!"
"yes!"
Surrounded by the police officers, Xu Si strode to the door of Yihe Cotton Factory.
"The patrol room is handling the case, open the door quickly!"
A Japanese policeman came forward and knocked on the door.
After a while, the corner door next to it opened. The night guard looked at the dark patrol and asked in Japanese: "What's going on?"
The Japanese patrolman said: "A wanted criminal has entered the cotton factory, and we have to go in and search."
"the wanted?"
"Yes."
"Sorry, according to factory regulations, no one is allowed to enter the cotton factory after eight o'clock in the evening without the permission of the general manager."
"You can give the general manager a call."
"It's too late. The general manager has gone to bed long ago. If you want to search, come back early tomorrow morning..."
Xu Siqi glanced at his watch. It was now 11 o'clock at night, which was the time Jiang Bin entered the pipeline.
Starting from the arrest of Lin Wangchuan, every step was repeatedly calculated. The time when the patrol arrived at Yihe Cotton Factory was basically around 10:50.
"Report to Detective Xu, people from the cotton factory said that according to their factory regulations, outsiders are not allowed to enter at night unless they have permission from the general manager..."
"The patrol room is handling the case. What are the factory regulations? Go in and search!"
"yes!"
Master He took the lead, stretched out his hand to push away the guard in front of him, and said to the Japanese patrolman on the side: "Tell them that anyone who dares to obstruct the patrol room from handling the case will be treated as obstructing the police!"
The two night guards looked at each other. One of them stayed to monitor the patrol, while the other went to find someone to discuss countermeasures. There were a total of six people on duty at night.
Hearing the noise in the front yard, the big dog rushed out again and barked at the crowd.
The guard tied up the dog to prevent it from biting the patrolman.
Xu Siqi looked around, secretly figuring out where Lin Wangchuan was most likely to hide.
You can't catch people too early, you have to delay as much time as possible, otherwise, there is no reason to stay in the cotton mill.
The lights of the office building are bright, and the guard room is also at the entrance of the building. It is impossible for Lin Wangchuan to hide inside the building.
Xu Siqi ordered: "Master He is responsible for the office building and solemnly responsible for the surrounding areas. Let's take action!"
Under normal circumstances, Lin Wangchuan would most likely be hiding outside.
Let Zheng Zheng be in charge of the outside. Even if he accidentally bumps into Lin Wangchuan, there will at least be room for maneuver.
Ten minutes later, the night guards gathered together and whispered quietly. They were debating whether to inform Sakai Kizou.
Xu Siqi counted them secretly, and there were exactly six people, no more, no less.
This means that even if there are guards guarding the basement, they are all here now.
The guards finally agreed that with so many police officers barging in, even if they did not dare to disturb the general manager, Sakai Kizo, they still had to inform Section Chief Nakamura, the number two person in the cotton mill.
…
It was pitch dark inside the pipe, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Jiang Bin did not dare to turn on the flashlight. He was mainly worried that the light source would attract the guards. Although Xu Siqi would distract the guards, no one could guarantee whether things would go as expected.
After crawling about five or six meters, Jiang Bin suddenly stopped and felt the surrounding environment. There was a putrid smell in his sense of smell.
He touched in the direction of the smell and touched something furry.
Jiang Bin sat up and reached out to turn on the flashlight. In order not to attract the attention of the guards, the light source of the flashlight was almost close to the ground.
Soon, he saw what he touched - a dead rat with its legs in the air.
With such a thick pipe, people can crawl in. It's not surprising that mice can crawl in.
Taking this opportunity, Jiang Bin also saw clearly the environment he was in.
Moving forward one meter further, the space suddenly becomes clearer, and there seems to be a reservoir in front of it.
