Chapter 49 Pacific Ocean
As night fell, the bodyguards rested in their cars or hotels outside the warehouse. At 7pm, more and more vehicles and people came to the warehouse. Some people went to the warehouse to store office supplies, some people went into the warehouse and closed the door without knowing what to do, and some people did not have a private garage and drove their cars to the warehouse to do maintenance themselves. There was even a middle-aged man who drank a cup of tea and smoked a cigarette in the warehouse just to go home later, and was in a daze.
At nine o'clock, the number of people and cars began to decrease. At eleven o'clock, there were no other people or cars in the warehouse area, except Liang Xi and Bobby. They set up a point-and-shoot tent on the roof of Warehouse 430, which Bobby carried. Bobby had already crawled into his sleeping bag, and Liang Xi sat on a stool, quietly looking around. The street lights in the warehouse had good lighting effects, and Liang Xi could even see a cigarette butt that someone had thrown on the side of the road.
"Bobby." Liang Xi shouted.
Bobby was chatting with a girl on his phone. He stuck his head out of the tent in dissatisfaction: "What's going on?"
Liang Xi walked towards the elevator: "Go to the guardhouse and look at the surveillance camera."
Bobby came out of the tent with his phone in hand and asked, "What did you think of?"
Liang Xi said: "Please help me keep an eye on monitor number 6. If you see any snow, call me."
Bobby: “Okay.”
…
Liang Xi arrived at the road from the elevator. After Bobby arrived at the sentry box, Liang Xi walked slowly along the warehouse of Unit 4 on the left. After he finished walking, Liang Xi contacted Bobby: "Are there any snowflakes?"
"No."
Liang Xi walked to the warehouse of unit 5 on the right. After walking about 20 meters, Bobby called and said in surprise, "Snowflakes appeared."
"Don't hang up." Liang Xi continued to move forward.
After walking five meters, Bobby said, "The snowflakes disappeared."
Liang Xi turned around and walked seven meters. Bobby said, "Snowflakes appear."
Liang Xi looked up and saw 507 written on the warehouse's rolling door.
Bobby: What's going on?
Liang Xi said: "It's a small mechanism, it could be a pressure mechanism, it could be a sensor mechanism, or it could be something else. When someone approaches the warehouse, the alarm signal will be transmitted to a certain place."
Bobby asked, "Why are there snowflakes?"
Liang Xi said: "The owner of the warehouse does not want the surveillance camera to capture their entry and exit. The owner of the warehouse chooses a time when there are more people in and out of the warehouse. When the owner uses the warehouse, the mechanism is activated to block the surveillance camera, making it easier for them to deliver goods to or take goods out of the warehouse."
Poppy asked, "Where is the person the boy saw?"
Liang Xi said: "I'm not sure what the mechanism is. I'm not sure that the boy saw someone. I think someone knows the secret of the warehouse, but he is not sure which warehouse it is, otherwise he would not have floated so far."
Bobby walked out of the sentry box and asked happily, "Is it time for the Blond Man to appear now?"
Liang Xi: "Deng your sister! The person who can set up such a mechanism must not be an ordinary person."
Bobby said proudly, "All my bodyguards are veterans of special forces such as the Red Devils, Commandos, and Special Air Service Regiment. They have undergone a year of professional bodyguard training. They are legally allowed to own and use all kinds of light firearms in special circumstances."
Liang Xi: “Idiot.”
What the hell! Bobby was so angry at being looked down upon so directly that he was speechless.
Liang Xi said: "This is not a question of force, it's a question of brains. Do you think people who can set up mechanisms to protect warehouses don't have a plan B? If I'm not mistaken, Warehouse 507 must be empty, and it's most likely a bait. One function of bait is to attract prey, and another function is to warn. When the alarm of Warehouse 507 sounds and snowflakes appear on the monitor, the owner of the warehouse will know that their goods are threatened. At the same time, they will also know who is threatening their goods, and can even use this to fight back. The warehouse where the goods are actually stored should be nearby, but it will definitely not be 507."
Once 507 is activated, regardless of how much force the warehouse owner has, the problem can be solved by simply calling the police.
Liang Xi said: "Obviously, someone knows the information about the warehouse, but his brain is as useless as yours, and he fell into the trap set by the warehouse owner. He is a little better than you, and he may not have alerted the warehouse owner yet."
Poppy took the opportunity to taunt, "Did you, a smart guy, alarm the warehouse owner?"
"Yes. But the warehouse owner will be very upset. As long as we are here for one day, the warehouse owner will not dare to move his goods." Liang Xi looked back and looked around. There are 40 warehouses here. Which one is the target warehouse? Contact Liu Zhen? It's useless. No judge will issue 40 search warrants based on his own speculation.
The first bad news: Not only does the warehouse owner know that I know his secret, but the person who wants to steal the warehouse may also know that I know the secret of the warehouse. This matter must be resolved, otherwise, if I leave the protection of Bobby's bodyguards, the warehouse owner and the thief may find me. I have to dig out the warehouse and put an end to this matter.
The second bad news: real warehouses will not have any directionality.
Liang Xi regretted that he was still too young and did not have John's calm aura. He had triggered the alarm to verify his idea, but he had not thought about the consequences of triggering the alarm. He did not know the identity of the warehouse owner, nor did he know what goods were in the warehouse, but he had put himself in danger.
No wonder smart people always die quickly... Ugh! Of all the martial arts in the world, only the brain is invincible.
I cannot consider the consequences of escaping. There are various possible consequences, most of which I cannot bear. Therefore, I can only burn my boats and try my best to find the warehouse where the target goods are hidden. This is the only way to solve the problem.
Bobby came back and walked over to the dazed Liang Xi, imitating Liang Xi's gaze and asked, "Which warehouse could that be?"
Liang Xi said: "Go to sleep."
Bobby: "Hey, what do you mean?"
Liang Xi: "I need some quiet time."
Bobby said, "I can help you brainstorm here."
Liang Xi: "No, this is not a problem of ideas. This is, how should I put it? It is difficult to solve the dilemma with normal thinking now. I need to think about the problem from a different perspective."
"I don't understand," Bobby said.
Liang Xi said: "For example, if there is a fire in your car and you don't have a fire extinguisher, and you don't want your car to become scrap metal, what should you do?"
Bobby said, "What can we do? The human body's stored urine is not enough to put out the fire."
Liang Xi said: "You can release the handbrake, put the car in neutral, and push the car forward or drive it into the river."
"Idiot!" It feels so good to curse! Bobby added: "You don't have the first condition of the river."
Liang Xi did not argue with Bobby and said, "So I need to find a river. I need to jump out of the latitude to find this river."
Bobby wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but Liang Xi's seriousness today made Bobby bored. So he said nothing more and said, "I support you, you know."
Liang Xi raised his hand and forced a smile to show that he understood.
Bobby hesitated and said, "No, that means I'm dumber than you. I can also think of a river. Maybe I can think of the Pacific Ocean."
Liang Xi glared: Get out.
Bobby did what he said, ignoring Liang Xi and returning to the tent on top of the warehouse. He sat on the edge of the warehouse, propped up his chin with both hands, looked at the warehouse, and racked his brains to think about the Pacific Ocean. He would never miss such a good opportunity to defeat Liang Xi.
