Chapter 702: The Dock Standoff
At three o'clock in the morning, a scream suddenly came from the Xie family compound, alarming many traitors.
Soon Xie Bao got the news that several guards died in the family, and they were the ones he sent to stare at Chen Han.
However, Chen Han and others who were stared at were missing and did not know where they went.
Xie Bao was not a fool. He immediately thought that Chen Han and the others had run away, and he couldn't help but feel upset.
After thinking carefully, Xie Bao felt that Chen Han and the others must have noticed their bad intentions, so they started to kill and escape in time.
Thinking of this, Xie Baocai felt a little regretful in his heart. He thought to himself that it seemed that he was too anxious and made the other party feel dangerous, so he did such a thing.
After looking at the corpses on the ground and carefully checking the clues, Xie Bao calmly spoke: "Second, dispatch a company of people to change into plainclothes, and follow me to the dock!"
Xie Baocai originally planned to wait until the medicine came to his hands, and slowly inquire about Chen Han and others' background, and then decide what to do.
But now something went wrong, Xie Baocai didn't care about anything else and immediately decided to take the medicine into his own hands.
"Our boss, it's midnight, what are we going?"
The second brother immediately asked, his tone was very puzzled because he was not sure about the specific situation.
"A big deal has come to your door, but unfortunately something went wrong. Now we have to take action immediately."
Xie Baocai spoke hatefully, with a little cold tone, as if he was going to kill someone.
The second brother was also a bandit and was a brother of Xie Baocai. Seeing this situation, he immediately understood something.
However, the second brother knew the importance of the matter, so he did not continue to ask questions. Instead, he quickly gathered people and then changed into casual clothes to travel.
The puppet army adapted by the bandits naturally had poor quality, so half an hour later, dozens of puppet army changed into casual clothes to travel.
On the way to the Concession Wharf again, the second brother asked: "What's going on, the boss?"
The second brother and Xie Baocai have a close relationship, so he had no scruples and asked the reason on the spot. After all, he is confused now.
"Oh, I don't know which road people came to me to transport medicines, and the quantity was quite huge.
I naturally thought about it. Maybe it was because I didn't make any arrangements, so I could kill the person I sent to follow and then escape from the Xie family compound..."
Xie Baocai briefly explained the reason, his tone was a bit complicated, and the expression on his face was ugly. You could tell at a glance that he was in a bad mood.
"The boss, where are the medicines, and what is the origin of the other party?"
The second brother was also a bandit, so he was naturally very greedy, but he was not an idiot. He knew that he should be careful when doing such things, so he asked Chen Han and others about the origin.
“According to what they said, the medicine is in a warehouse on the dock, and the specific location is unknown.
However, there are only a few warehouses near the wharf. We can definitely find them if we look carefully.
As for the other party’s origin, I guess it was either from the Eighth Route Army or from Chongqing.”
After Chen Han left, Xie Bao was able to confirm that the other party was an anti-Japanese force, otherwise he would not have left so decisively.
After all, the anti-Japanese forces will not be easily used even if they have some relationships in the occupied areas, so as not to alarm the Japanese.
"What the boss means is that we can do something bad."
From Xie Baocai's tone, the second brother knew what the other party meant, so he asked excitedly.
After all, medicines are expensive and are still scarce items. If they fall into their hands, they will definitely make a big profit.
What's more, if Xie Baocai caught a few anti-Japanese patriots in this operation, he could still go to the Japanese to find credit, which could be said to be a killing of two birds with one stone.
"How can you not do business that comes to your door?"
Xie Baocai gave a positive answer, his tone was very firm and hesitant. After all, he was a cruel person.
He paused and said, "I just don't know if the other party's movements are fast. If they transfer the medicine in time, we will be in vain."
Xie Bao was born as a bandit and could be said to have killed countless people, so it was judged from the corpse that Chen Han and others had not left for a long time, so he led the people to chase him out.
However, although the amount of medicines is large, the amount is not heavy. If the movement is fast, it can be transferred in time, so he is a little worried.
Moreover, Xie Baocai didn't know the specific location of the warehouse, so he became even more anxious. He brought dozens of people out and planned to search carefully.
"Brother, don't worry, it's ours, I will definitely not be able to escape."
The second son immediately started to comfort him, and even treated these medicines as his own things in his tone, which shows how greedy they are.
In fact, this situation is very common. After all, the bandits' usual style is to prey on the weak, especially some extremely vicious bandits, who are even more ill-fated.
Bandits like Xie Baocai are extremely vicious people. Even if they defect to the Japanese, they have not changed their style.
Listening to the second brother's words, Xie Baocai also relaxed a little and said something about it, asking the second brother to help analyze it.
Because the puppet army was hung, Xie Baocai's team was unobstructed along the way, and he drove a car, so in less than half an hour, the group appeared near the dock.
It is not yet dawn, so there are almost no people in the pier, but there are a few street lights emitting a faint light.
"According to the location of the warehouse, I will check it one by one, but be careful and don't cause any trouble!"
Because she didn't know where the medicine was placed, Xie Bao could only investigate it little by little, and then issued this order.
But Xie Baocai was a little worried and did not dare to do whatever he wanted, so he could only ask his subordinates to be careful. After all, this is the concession, not their territory.
As Xie Baocai ordered, his puppet troops began to disperse their actions.
However, at this time, a large number of men in black rushed out from near the dock. The men in black surrounded them in fan shapes, forcing Xie Baocai and his group to retreat continuously and gather together.
Seeing this situation, Xie Bao was shocked and thought to himself, could that person with the surname Chen really have a big shot as his backer?
But Xie Baocai was not very worried. After all, he had a lot of people, and they were all puppet soldiers holding guns.
Not afraid of the other person at all.
The puppet soldiers present also made defensive preparations for their own safety.
Fortunately, the man in black was worried, and Xie Baocai didn't understand the specific situation, so the two sides just confronted each other and did not fire in a tacit understanding.
As time delayed, more and more people in black were coming, and Xie Baocai and his group were soon surrounded.
At this time, the two sides were very close, and Xie Bao discovered that many men in black looked familiar, and they couldn't help but frown, and felt a feeling of ups and downs in their hearts.
After a while, Xie Bao wanted to say something, and then the sound of a car driving came from afar.
When the car drove near and parked, a middle-aged man walked out of the car and said with a smile to Xie Baocai: "Captain Xie, you don't sleep at night and you still bring so many soldiers to the dock. I don't know what you want to do?"
The middle-aged man's tone was very gentle, but Xie Baocai felt a bad feeling, his face became ugly, and he thought to himself that this time he was in trouble.
