Chapter 1286 Infiltration in full view of the public
9 .
There is no one in the pharmaceutical factory. The workers are working overtime in the factory to produce medicines. Even going to the toilet is a trot, with only teams of guards passing by from time to time.
After another group of guards left, the shadow figured out the patrol pattern and time, quietly walked out of the corner, and went straight to the research center in the deepest part of the factory.
Although the Germans did not find out the internal layout of the pharmaceutical factory, apart from the factory building and office area, this area of the pharmaceutical factory was the only one with no machine noise, bright lights, and the highest density of security guards. It was obviously a key location.
It is not difficult for a qualified intelligence officer to analyze this point, so Zuo Zhong does not like to defend. The enemy can make countless mistakes, and their one mistake means failure.
The shadow moved quickly through the shadows outside the light, sometimes lying under the steps, sometimes hiding behind trees, dodging multiple groups of guards, and getting closer to the target little by little.
"Chunyang, when do you think the other side will take action?" Zuo Zhong asked with interest while enjoying the German performance at the surveillance point.
Wu Chunyang looked at his watch and expressed his speculation: "In the early morning, when workers change shifts, there will be a large number of people moving around the factory. That is the best time to take action."
"What's the withdrawal time?" Zuo Zhong asked again.
"The next delivery from the glass factory." Wu Chunyang replied without hesitation.
Zuo Zhong nodded slightly. There are still two or three days before the next delivery, which means that the German agents will have to lurk for at least another 48 hours. The people in Abwehr are still somewhat capable, at least more professional than Zhongtong.
But if Zuo Zhong is given a choice, he will set fire to create chaos to get out, because the longer time passes, the more uncertainties there will be.
But there are always surprises. If Mu Hyuk decides to get the formula and run away, there might be a firestorm.
Realizing that the pharmaceutical factory might be in danger, Zuo Zhong whispered to the little agent next to him to prepare a water hose. If the Germans thought like him, the Zuo family would suffer great losses.
At midnight, the wind gradually increased.
The dark figure that had lurked outside the research center was hiding in the grass, looking at the building door with two eyes and listening to the surrounding movements, showing extra vigilance.
Da, da, da, a series of footsteps came from far to near. Several guards came to the door of the research center and chatted with the people inside.
Heiying silently counted the sounds in his mind to judge the number of people inside the door. When he counted the fourth person, he immediately gave up the plan to enter through the door.
One person may have a blind spot, but if four people cooperate with each other, even if they are all laymen, he has no chance.
The black shadow slowly retreated into the darkness with its hands on the ground, and then circled around the research center, trying to find other entrances.
Suddenly, the shadow's gaze rested on the large lighting skylight in the upper part of the zigzag-shaped factory building. This is a signature feature of Bauhaus architecture, which can ensure uniform indoor light and facilitate refined industrial production.
At this moment, these skylights became the best breakthrough point. Black Shadow rolled up his sleeves and looked at the luminous watch on his wrist, then covered the watch and quietly waited for the arrival of the action window.
At eleven o'clock sharp, the patrolling guard passed by again.
The black shadow listened to the footsteps slowly disappearing, got up and ran to the factory building, then took out a flying claw with a rope from behind, spun it around in the air a few times, and flicked it upward.
The flying claws wrapped in cloth firmly grasped the eaves. The black shadow firmly grasped the rope, kicked off the wall with both feet and climbed to the top of the factory building and retracted the rope without making a sound.
As soon as the rope was retracted, the shadow of a guard appeared in the corner. This was a mobile sentry patrolling randomly. The black shadow was lying on the ceiling looking at the night sky with a calm expression.
The mobile sentry gradually moved away, and the dark figure turned over and climbed to the skylight to look inside. He saw many experimental equipment and a safe placed in the factory, and four guards were chatting in the porch opposite.
After confirming the position of the guard again and again, the shadow quietly moved to the skylight at the innermost side of the factory building, took out a celluloid (old-fashioned plastic) card from his pocket, inserted it into the gap in the window, slid it up and down, and quickly removed the lock tongue from the card. removed from the trough.
This kind of handle-type window lock has poor security. Even a new intelligence agent who has just entered the industry can open the window without damaging the glass.
After solving the first "obstacle", Heiying did not rush to open the window and took out an exquisite celluloid oil bottle from the treasure bag-like pocket.
He put the oil spout close to the skylight and squeezed it twice with his hand. A few drops of greasy but colorless and odorless lubricating oil dripped on the hinges and handles. The whole set of movements was extremely skillful, as if he had rehearsed it countless times in advance.
After doing all this, the shadow huddled at the window, looking at his watch while always paying attention to the movements of the four guards.
Just before twelve o'clock, an electric bell and the noise of workers rang outside. Four guards entered the factory together, and one of them shined a flashlight at the skylight. The flashlight flashed across the glass. The shadow closed his eyes and listened to the footsteps of the guards. He constructed the patrol route and location of the four people in his mind. When the last guard walked out of the factory, he suddenly opened his eyes.
Open windows, throw ropes, slide down, hide.
In just over ten seconds, Black Shadow successfully sneaked into the heavily guarded research center and targeted the safe without even looking at the experimental equipment along the way.
Before leaving, Mu He asked scientists to conduct relevant training for his subordinates. Black Shadow knew that the most important things in a pharmaceutical laboratory were data and experimental logs, and they must be in the safe.
Crouching in front of the safe, Black Shadow recognized its model at just one glance, a commercial V-shaped safe from Rudolf Fischer.
This safe has a high-strength anti-theft design that resists picking, drilling and other destructive means. The cabinet is made of thick steel and fire-resistant filling to keep the contents safe in high temperatures.
But what the outside world doesn’t know is that the largest shareholder of Rudolf Fischer is the German government, or a shell company of Abwehr.
Black Shadow remained calm despite being delighted. After checking whether the safe was equipped with an external alarm, he began to try to crack the password.
Although the code of the V-shaped safe can be changed, it can only be changed according to the fixed code table provided by Fischer Company. In order to facilitate mass production, the linkage points of the code disks of similar mechanical safes are all in the same area.
Therefore, as long as you find the first password, the rest is simple. Memorizing the Fischer Company password table is an essential skill for every German agent. After all, it was the largest safe manufacturer in the pre-war world.
Finding the first combination is also easy. The operation of a mechanical safe relies on the physical structure of dials and gears. There is a series of dials inside the lock, each dial corresponding to a number.
In the correct combination, these dials line up, allowing the latch to move into the unlocked position and the safe opens.
Due to the small physical differences between mechanical parts, a skilled **** can deduce the correct area of the password by observing the turntable or listening to the sound changes inside the lock. There is generally an error of five ticks in this area.
The black figure looked in the direction of the porch, raised his hand and turned the dial clockwise, placing his ears close to the cabinet and listening to the sound of the mechanical operation inside, with a high degree of concentration.
It didn't take him long to determine the possible range of the first password, and then tried different password combinations based on the numbers in the range, which all relied on memory and the speed of his hands.
Goddess of luck seemed to be on the side of the Germans today. The black shadow only eliminated two combinations of passwords. As the third set of passwords was entered, he pulled the handle and the door of the strong safe opened②.
Through the gap, you can see multiple documents stored in the cabinet. The shadow took note of the placement and angle of the documents, and quickly completed the shooting with a spy camera.
After getting the information he wanted, Black Shadow calmly restored the documents and safe dial to their original positions, climbed back to the roof along the rope, and finally used the celluloid card to close the skylight again.
Behind a wall of the research center, Zuo Zhong, Gu Qi, and Wu Chunyang stood in front of the observation hole with different expressions. Zuo Chong was smiling, but Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang were serious.
"Deputy Sir, the other party behaved very professionally. We must pay more attention to Abwell."
Gu Qi was the first to express his opinion. From the performance of the man just now, it can be seen that the quality of Abwehr's personnel is no worse than that of the military commander, and even exceeds it in some aspects.
Apart from anything else, when it comes to cracking safes, no one in the military can do it so quickly, including Wu Chunyang, who has the best intelligence technology.
Seeing that the two of them were a little frustrated, Zuo Chong commented objectively: "Don't be proud, let alone belittle yourself. If it were an American safe, the Germans would also take longer to crack it.
The important thing is, what can we learn from this incident? After we return, we will give orders to the Kuomintang-controlled areas and overseas stations, telling them not to use safes made in Japan or in the host country. "
After finishing speaking, he paused for a few seconds and said with a smile: "As for Abwell, I have never underestimated him. Let the brothers be careful not to scare the guests. We still have to rely on this guy to sing the next play." "
Gu Qi and Wu Chunyang were shocked. The Germans could leave a back door in the safe, but the Japanese and Americans could not. The answer was obviously no.
The overseas district stations are fine. If there is a problem with the Japanese-made safes that store confidential documents at the local district stations, the brothers lurking in enemy-occupied areas will be in danger. We really need to be careful about this matter.
All in all, the country was still weak. If the Republic of China had its own high-end safe factory, why would they buy foreign products?
The scene fell into silence, and the machinery of the pharmaceutical factory continued to roar. Bottles of penicillin were filled into brown glass bottles and sealed with wax-sealed caps.
Two days later in the evening, the glass factory truck stopped in front of the warehouse. The driver offered the guard a cigarette and apologized for what happened last time.
Without reaching out to avoid hitting the smiling man, the guards smiled and accepted each other's apology, gathered around and smoked cigarettes, and the black shadow walked to the car as if there was no one around and got into the secret compartment.
①In 1910, humans first obtained radium through electrolysis. Five years later, the Italian watch brand Panerai applied radium to its products and applied for a patent, ushering in the era of luminous technology in watches.
