Chapter 65 Chapter 64 A Person with a Big Heart
Zhuang Xuteng picked up the telescope, turned on the low-light mode, and took advantage of the cover of night to look at the abandoned trading company controlled by the Fire Tower Gang. The company's yard was square, with two entrances to the east and west, both of which could allow trucks to enter and exit. It was right next to two easily accessible roads in the river embankment area. If you want to steal something from inside, there are two directions when driving out, which is quite good.
The company's buildings are concentrated on the north side of the square yard. From east to west is a six-story office building, eight warehouses connected together, and then a two-story small building on the west. That small building is very interesting. There are large floor-to-ceiling windows on the first floor, which are decorated like a restaurant. The second floor only has closed windows and is divided into many small rooms. It is not clear what the furnishings are inside.
I heard that many trading companies have special reception centers to facilitate the reception of guests who come to negotiate. Ordinary guests only need to take care of their food and drink, while some key guests need to take a good rest - it seems that the two-story building on the west side is used for this. It is for this reason that more people from the Huota Gang gather in the small building on the west side. They are on the first floor of the restaurant and can see the road on the west side through the glass windows. They can eat and drink here, which is better than going to the east side. It’s much more comfortable to stand on the street at the gate.
To the south of the office building, warehouse and reception restaurant is a courtyard, separated from the street outside by a wall. In fact, there is an east-west road and a T-shaped intersection south of the trading company. In other words, an alley that can only accommodate one and a half cars is facing the south wall of the trading company, and the east-west horizontal road is also configured in the same way. These two roads are not suitable for trucks to pass through, especially affecting the direction of trucks, so the company did not open the south gate.
Zhuang Xuteng was on the chimney of the south factory, relying on the path facing the south wall, monitoring the activities of the trading company without any obstruction.
If the container was inside, it could only be hidden in a warehouse, but the warehouse doors were tightly closed. The personnel entrance and exit of the warehouse is on the east side, close to the office building. The small door is open and there is no guard at the door. In fact, there are no guards in the entire courtyard... No, there are still two people. They just stood up, throwing away the paper in their hands and lifting their pants.
The gang members are conveniently located under the south wall. From this point of view, they have no idea of running this place. Oh, Zhuang Xuteng understands, it may be this phenomenon that makes intelligence personnel "hate iron but not steel". It's really interesting. It might be interesting if I could meet that intelligence officer sometime.
"Dong dong, I'm leaving." Ge Gongdao's voice came from the earphones. He drove the pickup truck from the main road on the west side. Zhuang Xuteng looked through the telescope and found that the car was swaying from side to side and could hardly go in a straight line, so he understood Brother Dao's plan.
Go Gongdao pretended to be a drunk driver and drove a vehicle in a very dangerous way that everyone should not learn. He always keeps alcohol in his car, never drinks on duty, and never drinks when he needs to drive. He sprinkled the wine on his collar, used it to rinse his mouth, and rubbed his eyes with a few drops of wine to make them red, giving him the full drunken look.
Squeak! He almost drove the car directly to the west gate of the trading company. Then, he rolled down the window and covered his forehead with one hand - covering most of his appearance by the way - and yelled at the Fire Tower Gang: "Asshole! You rear-ended me, don't you know you are fully responsible?!"
This is simply a huge injustice. Can the gangsters from the Fire Tower Gang tolerate it? At that time, four people rushed out of the restaurant, and two others went to the yard to call more people. Zhuang Xuteng looked clearly and carefully through the telescope and noticed that people were coming out of the office buildings to the east, but the warehouse remained quiet.
Is there no one inside? Zhuang Xuteng observed carefully and found that people coming out of the east office building walked across the entire yard to the west gate. No one glanced at the warehouse along the way, and no one went inside to shout twice. Well, it's possible that there really wasn't anyone in the warehouse and they all acquiesced to that.
"Brother Dao, I've seen it almost. You can retreat and don't put yourself in danger." After Zhuang Xuteng finished speaking, he immediately heard three consecutive knocks from the walkie-talkie, and he knew that Brother Dao had received the message.
The conflict outside the west gate ended with Brother Dao uttering harsh words while speeding away. Two gangsters ran under the south wall and pushed out the motorcycle. Because the steam-powered locomotive started very slowly, Brother Dao had already completed his escape before they had time to catch up. Well, this is also important information, clarifying the Fire Tower Gang's pursuit capabilities.
After Brother Dao left, the chaos in Ximen gradually subsided and the gangsters began to disperse. Most of their weapons were electric shock weapons, and the possibility of firearms was not ruled out, but at least in this skirmish, they did not reveal their firearms. Zhuang Xuteng observed their postures when they returned, because people are more likely to leak information when they are relaxed.
The people of the Fire Tower Gang were talking and laughing along the way, with different expressions, but the common point was that none of them went to the warehouse, and they all ignored it. The ones who started the motorcycle pushed it back to the south wall. They were cursing, probably because they were disappointed that they couldn't show off their driving skills.
These guys also like to pile things under the south wall, temporarily excreting there, and hiding motorcycles there. They are really undisciplined. However, this south wall just blocked Zhuang Xuteng's view from the south chimney, so he still needed to go in and take a look. Only after confirming the location of the goods can you find a way to steal them out.
A small standard container is four and a half meters long (deep), two meters wide and two meters high. Since the intelligence did not provide the weight of the box, let alone what it was, it was impossible to know how to deal with it before actually seeing the box. Both Ge Gongdao and Zhuang Xuteng were more inclined to believe that the truck was also in the control of the gang, otherwise the road transportation could not be solved. Well... we have to act.
"Brother Dao, I'll climb in from the south to take a look." Zhuang Xuteng said through the walkie-talkie while climbing down the chimney from the ladder. "Wait for me on the road to the east, don't let them see me. If I run into trouble, rush in from the east gate and rescue me."
"From the east gate? I found that the restaurant at the west gate is not very solid, and you can drive in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. As long as you break through two layers of glass, you can rush into the yard and get rid of most of the gangsters."
"There are few people in the office building on the east side, and their reactions are slow. There are glass display windows on the west side, so you can only hide farther away, which will reduce your reaction time. Brother Dao, what do you think?"
"Indeed, when you put it that way, the east side is obviously better." Ge Gongdao thought for a while and asked, "What did you see? Are you sure you can sneak in? The wall on the south side is about four and a half meters high..."
"Not a big problem. That wall has a slope, and I can climb over it with my bare hands. As for the situation inside, I'll talk while I walk..."
It is actually very difficult to climb a four-and-a-half-meter-high wall directly with bare hands. Zhuang Xuteng is lucky to succeed once out of ten times, but there are no guards on the street outside the south wall, and there are no pedestrians after nightfall, so he can do something. On the way here, he dragged a trash can, emptied the trash inside, and turned it upside down on the ground. This was a stepping stone for climbing the wall.
With the help of the stepping stone, Zhuang Xuteng grabbed the top of the wall and pulled himself up. He found that the wall was very thin, probably just a layer of bricks, with a layer of cement on the outside. He felt some shaking and rebounding when climbing, and guessed that some bricks might be loose due to lack of maintenance.
He opened his eyes to check first, and then he climbed over to make sure there was no one. Unfortunately, there was an excretion area under the wall he chose, which smelled very bad, but the good thing was that there were three old single toilets standing next to it. This is a simple toilet commonly seen in outdoor parks or gatherings, with wheels underneath that can be pushed and pulled. Zhuang Xuteng didn't know why there was this thing in the yard, but it happened to be used as a stepping stone to facilitate climbing down.
Try to make your movements as light as possible, and at the same time pull the schoolbag to the front, turning it into a tactical jacket, and put on the bone spear pistol, so that you don't need to respond hastily when encountering sudden changes. Zhuang Xuteng saw the right moment and crossed the yard under the cover of night to the entrance of the warehouse. He slowed his breathing and listened carefully. The warehouse was very quiet, with only the sound of a dripping faucet. So he dodged and went in.
There was no light in the warehouse at all, it was pitch black. Zhuang Xuteng used the telescope as a pair of low-light glasses, and finally he could see the hazy outline with the little light coming through the gate.
Thank God, the three trucks were here, with their butts facing the warehouse door and their heads against the north wall, parked in an incorrect posture. Zhuang Xuteng helped unload and load a lot when he worked at the Magic Crystal Factory, and even played a guest role as a truck driver. He knew very well that when a truck entered the loading and unloading warehouse, its butt should enter first, so that it could make good use of the loading and unloading platform in the warehouse that was a little higher than the ground. It can be loaded and unloaded directly by setting up a hard board on the platform, without the need for a forklift.
If the butt is facing the warehouse door, if you want to go out, you have to reverse the car, and then find a way to turn around, which is too troublesome. Zhuang Xuteng shook his head, and began to feel sorry for the unprofessionalism and lack of ambition of the Huota Gang thugs.
At present, it seems that there is no one guarding the warehouse, and there is indeed nothing to steal here except for the three trucks. Zhuang Xuteng went around to the front of the truck, took a closer look with the help of the dim light, and then sighed.
The three trucks are all medium-sized trucks of Antai Speed Millennium God of War-2, with motor-assisted starting and steam-supercharged turbine structure, which have the characteristics of fast starting, sufficient power and good endurance. Another feature of it is that it is difficult to control and difficult to be stolen, because there is a set of shadow control cores in its console, which is the second set of locks besides the key.
Because of the anti-theft function, the sales volume of this car is quite large, and many freight companies choose it as a model for transporting important goods. When Zhuang Xuteng was working at the Magic Crystal Factory, he heard the drivers who came to deliver goods complain. Because this car has the function of identifying the driver, the freight company can lock the driver, which makes it more difficult to rotate the driver during long-distance transportation. Moreover, this function can also restrict the driver from driving to take private jobs, which can be said to be "unpopular".
No wonder no one is watching them, it turns out they are not afraid of them being stolen. Zhuang Xuteng suddenly felt that things were getting tricky, and there was one less possibility to complete the commission. If the car can't be driven away, then he can only steal the box, or try to open the box and transport the things inside.
I still don't know how heavy the box is, whether Dao Ge's car can tow it... Zhuang Xuteng's mind is full of ideas, but none of them seem reliable, which gives him a headache. Just then, a strange sound came from the silent warehouse.
"Puff..."
Is someone farting? Who is here...
