After communicating with Argus, Chen Shen obtained a "preliminary authorization" from the local police, which, of course, does not represent the official, but on behalf of Argus personally.

The criterion for the authorization to be implemented is to be able to find the pile of nail polish remover that disappeared and figure out the specific plans of the EIM in Sulawesi.

This is by no means an easy task for the Dongfeng Corps, because they are good at fighting, but they are really not good at investigating cases.

Moreover, it is too late to temporarily transfer Jiang He, although he is good at intelligence work, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

What's more, he still has to run the plate of the communication service, and he has no time to take care of Indonesian affairs.

In the office, Chen Shen looked at the available information on the whiteboard, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought for a while.

So the information we have right now is actually quite limited."

"Nail polish remover is imported from Kendari and cleared at Port Ferry, and the person responsible for customs clearance is a fully regular customs clearance company, and the importer is also a completely regular trading company."

"The police had previously investigated the warehouse of the company, which was called Taco Foreign Trade, but had not found any leads."

"According to TACO Foreign Trade, they only imported a batch of nail polish remover at the request of the customer, and the specific use and sales channels are not clear to them."

"And their customer is a supermarket in Kendari, and the supermarket is called Indo Wholesale Supermarket."

"The supermarket said that they also purchased according to the requirements of a large customer, and this large customer did take most of the goods for sub-packaging and sales, but it was said that the sales were not good, and most of them were eventually returned to the Indo wholesale supermarket."

"The shipment was stored in the Indo supermarket warehouse for less than two weeks, and then it was all lost."

"Theft, to be exact."

"But until now, the Kendari police have not caught anyone, and the investigation has basically made no progress."

"All the people in this chain are very innocent and clean."

"The big customer in charge of terminal sales is even a Christian, very religious, and there is no reason to be with EIM."

"In the same way, the suspicion of Indodo supermarkets has also been ruled out, because if it were them, they could have disposed of the goods in a more covert way in the form of small-scale distribution, and there was no need for any excuse for theft."

"So in general, this is the case."

"The big customer who is the most suspicious, that is, the source of this import business, has no motive at all; The most convenient Indo-To-supermarket to commit crimes, the means of committing crimes do not match; The trade and customs clearance company is a completely bona fide third party, and Taco Foreign Trade doesn't even care about this batch of goods, because for their trade throughput, the volume of this batch of nail polish remover is really not large. ”

"Don't talk about this kind of thing, even if the Indonesian police want to investigate, they can't do it."

"It's no wonder Argus says it's a big bargaining chip, because it does look like a long-planned move."

"How to raise, what do you think? What do you think is the most likely part of the problem? ”

Hearing Chen Shen's words, everyone in the office fell silent.

After thinking for a long time, Bao Qicai was the first to raise his hand and asked tentatively:

"Can you check the supermarket's surveillance? Kendari is a big city, there should be surveillance in the supermarket, right? ”

"Here's the problem – Argus says surveillance has been checked, but nothing has been found."

"The goods seemed to disappear out of thin air, and during an inventory, the supermarket suddenly found that all the cartons returned were empty."

"But when they returned the goods, they were accepted, and they didn't see a problem at that time."

When the words fell, Bao Qi's brows furrowed.

"It sounds very unreasonable, first of all, it's a matter of returns, how can Indo Supermarket allow returns in this case?"

"Secondly, the return will disappear after the acceptance is completed, isn't the suspicion on the supermarket?"

"The supermarket has signed a disguised VAM agreement with a large customer, and the return of goods is still within the normal range."

Chen Shen explained, and then said:

"But I also think that the return acceptance link is very problematic, maybe at that time, the goods have actually disappeared."

"After all, it is difficult to buy the entire supermarket, but it is very simple to buy off a few people who are responsible for acceptance."

"Still. There's really no way to check this, because there's no monitoring and there's no evidence. ”

"In fact, that's what Argus really wanted us to do-—— he wanted us to arrest the people who were in charge of acceptance, and then use our 'own' way to force them out of their plans."

"To put it simply, it's just for us to do the dirty work."

"The list, they've provided."

"But I always feel . It's too risky. ”

"If we really catch ordinary people, then it's nonsense, we have to bear the black cauldron of torture and kidnapping, they don't have to take any risks, and if things get bigger, they can also throw us out to block the gun."

Speaking of this, Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh.

One of the most corrupt police systems in the world, even the relatively upright Argus is familiar with this set of intrigues related to power tricks.

You can't even say how bad he is, because he's really just paving the way for himself.

It's just that this retreat is at the expense of the Dongfeng Corps

Looking at Chen Shen's expression, Shi Dakai opened his mouth and asked:

"What about wearing a mask?"

"The characteristics are too obvious, unless we don't have guns and no equipment. But then security is not guaranteed. ”

"My idea is that if there is another way to find clues, we will try not to risk ourselves."

"But we really don't have any other way."

Li Bang interjected a sentence when he saw the stitches, Chen Shen nodded slowly, and finally shelved his somewhat unrealistic "conservative plan".

That's right, there really is no other way, because if there is, not to mention the police, Task Force 88 should also take action.

You can only take a look first, at least feel the situation over there, and then decide on the next step.

Kendari is not far from La Bota, and the road around the island is in good condition, which used to be about two hours at most.

Even on the premise of retaining the basic security force of Qingshan Park, Chen Shen can at least draw out a team to explore the truth in the past.

So, he immediately made a decision and said:

"Then let's go over and have a look!"

"No matter what the situation is over there, at least find out the target first and do some manual intelligence."

"As for whether we should follow their train of thought, or whether we should find another way, it is better to improvise!"

The plan was drawn up, and Chen Shen immediately began to prepare.

In the afternoon of the same day, he determined the personnel who were going to Kendari, still according to the most familiar formation, composed of Shi Dakai, Lin He and himself.

The reason why Bao Qi was not chosen was because Bao Qi was the best English in the Indonesian detachment, and he stayed in Qingshan Park, and if some special circumstances occurred and the translation could not be in place, he could temporarily support the field.

Originally, it stands to reason that as a person who has obtained a medical degree, Pingchuan's English should not be too bad, but the problem is that he can basically read and write academic English, and his spoken English is not even as good as Shi Dakai, who has only studied for less than a year, so when he needs to communicate quickly, his role is really not great.

So, the personnel arrangement was thus decided, and immediately afterward, the four members of the reconnaissance group began to select equipment.

Pistols and bending guns are a must, although the registered gun type of the Dongfeng Corps is actually only the FN57 that was lost before, and even the assault rifle is not included, but the gun management in Indonesia is completely abstract, as long as you have a gun license in your hand, then there is a high probability that you will not be embarrassed.

Because, those who can get a gun license are generally either rich or expensive, or they are "related households".

On the premise that no major incident occurs, no one will look for trouble without a long eye.

In addition to the turning gun, Chen Shen decided to bring the HK416 with him.

Although it is not convenient to carry it with you, it can be placed in the car as a support fire, in case there is an emergency that requires fire, so as not to rush with others with a pistol.

However, except for rifles and pistols, the light and heavy machine guns that the Dongfeng Corps now has are not allowed to carry.

Kendari is a big city after all, and in that kind of place you take out your machine gun, let alone check the JD molecules, you yourself are the biggest JD molecules.

As for the shock bombs and smoke bombs, Chen Shen wanted to bring them over, but he didn't plan to use them until the most urgent time.

As Xiao Yu said, the Indonesian police are quite sensitive to explosives, and once they find signs of explosives, they will definitely conduct a thorough investigation into the incident.

This is also why the police can pay attention to the clues of this batch of nail polish remover, because they are really afraid.

Therefore, in such an environment, Chen Shen still decided not to use throwables if he could not use them.

Especially in urban areas, if it is not a last resort, it is better not to pull out the stun bombs and smoke bombs.

Looking at the equipment that was selected one by one, the Li Gang beside Chen Shen couldn't help but sigh.

"I don't know when the last time we fought this kind of poor battle"

"There are no heavy machine guns, no automatic grenades, no grenades and smoke grenades."

"Just a pistol and a rifle, there are so few things, I even feel like I'm running naked."

Hearing his words, Chen Shen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"Don't forget, when we fought the first battle in Pubei, we didn't even have a pistol in our hands."

"Pistols were so expensive for us back then. Look at the whole bunch of pistols now, what are you not satisfied with? ”

"Captain, we didn't have pistols at that time, but we did have SVDs, grenades, and gas canisters."

Chen Shen glared at Li Bang and continued:

"We're not here to grab points, to put it bluntly, the highest level of conflict may be just CQB's attack on the building, and you still want gas canisters? Why don't you give you the TATP of those jd molecules? ”

"Forget it, I'd rather use ANFO than TATP."

Li Bang hurriedly waved his hand and said with palpitations:

"Bao Qi did it once when he was in Mengka, and that thing was simply terrible."

"The materials are safe when stored separately, but once crystallized, they can explode with a little rubbing."

"It's like a cannon drop, there's no way to transport it."

"If it's really made and then shipped later, maybe there will be a manhole cover pressed on the road, and the whole car will blow up directly."

"Indeed."

Chen Shen nodded a little amusedly, but suddenly, his brow furrowed again.

Li Bang's words gave him an important reminder, that is

TATP is very unstable in nature and is indeed impossible to transport over long distances.

——

No, it's not just that long-distance transportation is not possible, but even short-distance transportation is very difficult due to the general road and traffic conditions in Indonesia.

So, the EIM extremists here, like all other JD molecules, must not start the manufacturing process until they actually start working.

They should have determined the target of the attack and reconnoitred the attack route, and then used the limited equipment in their hands to quickly complete the manufacturing, rapid deployment, and rapid detonation.

And the amount of nail polish remover, or acetone, was too large for them to rely on in the form of a home craft workshop to complete the production.

Yes, it is possible to make it with a pressure cooker, a gas stove, a water bath bottle, and a refrigerator, but the manufacturing speed is very slow.

How many people do you have to work on at the same time to complete the manufacturing process in a short period of time after setting the goal?

Dozens? Hundreds?

No, nail polish remover with a total amount of more than one ton may require hundreds of people to operate at the same time to consume it.

And these hundreds of people must have a certain knowledge of chemistry and be able to conduct chemical experiments independently.

Otherwise, EIM would not be engaged in a suicide attack, but a pure suicide.

——

But how is this possible?

If he really has so many high-end talents, does he still need to shrink in the dark and be a mouse? ?

The answer is very clear, that is, EIM must have one or several large-scale manufacturing bases.

And this kind of manufacturing base is highly overlapping with the facilities of a common unregulated local method workshop in Indonesia, that is.

Tufa refinery.

Sulawesi is full of this kind of thing, cheap homemade kowtow machines are all over the outskirts of Kendari, and even in the urban area of Kendari, there are many home-made diesel processing workshops!

This kind of place is really good for bombs.

Chen Shen stood up abruptly, and then immediately led the team to the Qingshan Park Clinic.

He met Argus again and asked him a question.

"Which home-made diesel processing workshop in Kendari is also near cold storage?"

"Or is there any diesel processing workshop that has recently purchased large freezers?"

Two hours later, Chen Shen got the information he wanted.

There are a total of nine locations that meet his requirements, and theoretically, the goal is not clear.

However, one of them is near the Indo wholesale supermarket, and in the Indo wholesale supermarket, there is a constant temperature cold storage.

Undoubtedly, that's the answer.

The series of information that the police saw before was just a fog.

No matter what means those people used to make the situation so confusing.

But one thing is almost certain.

That is.

Now, that batch of nail polish remover is likely to be in the cold storage of the supermarket!
