Without Long Xiao's command, Xiao Ming and Luo Tianshui saw Long Xiao make a move and the bullets hit the ground, and immediately looked for where the bullets came from.
"The building opposite, I'll go upstairs, you block the exit." Luo Tianshui's voice had just fallen, and he had already rushed out.
Xiao Ming followed Luo Tianshui to the opposite building. He was more sensitive to killers than Luo Tianshui. He had already seen clearly that the person who fired was an old man with a cigarette in his mouth.
Luo Tianshui rushed to the opposite building. Without waiting for the elevator, he ran up the stairs directly.
A few minutes later, Luo Tianshui arrived at the room where the killer had been. The room was empty, with cigarette butts on the ground and a brass shell.
Picking up the cigarette butts and shell, Luo Tianshui began to search for the killer.
Xiao Ming reached the entrance and sat on the steps, like a teenager who had skipped class with a schoolbag on his back.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a man with a briefcase and shining grey hair walked out of the building.
The old man walked steadily and hurriedly, his face full of confidence, like a professional salesman.
Xiao Ming didn't pay attention to the old man, but when the old man walked past him, he smelled a strong smell of tobacco.
Professional salesmen rarely smoke, and a body full of tobacco smell would leave a bad impression on customers.
Xiao Ming took out the Xuan Tie cleaver from his backpack, jumped up, and swung it at the old man's head.
Hearing the wind behind him, the old man lunged forward to dodge Xiao Ming's cleaver, rolled on the ground, and sprang back up.
Without any extra movements, the old man ran as soon as he landed, without looking back.
"Stop for me." Xiao Ming chased after the old man with his cleaver.
The old man was fast, but Xiao Ming was even faster. He had only run for more than three hundred meters before Xiao Ming caught up behind him.
With a 'poof,' a bullet shot out from another building, grazed Xiao Ming's shoulder, and hit the ground.
Because Xiao Ming's attention was on the old man, he didn't notice where the sniper was. He leaped and hid behind a car.
When Xiao Ming came out from behind the car and looked for the old man again, the old man had disappeared without a trace.
Luo Tianshui ran out of the corridor and, seeing Xiao Ming injured, hurried over.
"Xiao Ming, are you alright?" Luo Tianshui asked worriedly.
Xiao Ming, clutching his arm, shook his head and put the cleaver back into his backpack.
"I'll put medicine on it and bandage it for you," Luo Tianshui said.
As Luo Tianshui grabbed Xiao Ming's arm to examine the wound, he found that his wound had already scabbed over and was slowly healing.
"How can you recover so quickly?" Luo Tianshui said in surprise.
Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "I'm born this way. Minor injuries heal in two minutes, and serious injuries heal completely in ten minutes."
Luo Tianshui looked at Xiao Ming's arm with envy and said, "It seems that in the future, dangerous things will still have to be handled by you. Otherwise, if I get injured, it will be hard to recover."
"You wish! Why not you?" Xiao Ming said unhappily.
As the two were bickering, Long Xiao and Ban Jianghong walked over.
"Xiao Ming, did you see what the killer looked like?" Long Xiao asked.
Xiao Ming nodded and described the appearance of the killer he had seen.
Ban Jianghong shook his head after listening and said, "I haven't seen this person before. He might be from a killer organization."
Long Xiao took out his phone and called Ye Xiao, asking her to check if any members of a killer organization had entered Donghai in the last two days.
After sending Ban Jianghong into Donghai Hotel, the three of them, Long Xiao, got into the car.
Luo Tianshui drove Xiao Ming and Long Xiao to the entrance of Mangshan No. 1 and returned to Xinglin Caotang alone.
As soon as Long Xiao and Xiao Ming entered Mangshan No. 1, they saw Lin Shijie and Old Mrs. Lin sitting on the sofa, talking about something.
Seeing Long Xiao return, Lin Shijie asked, "Long Xiao, I've had several copies of that wound medicine made. Do you want to take a look?"
Seeing Lin Shijie's excited expression, Long Xiao sat down next to him and looked at the medicine on the coffee table.
The wound medicine was a powder, and he didn't feel any life force from it. Due to problems with the manufacturing process and raw materials, it could at most achieve ten percent of its medicinal effect.
"Dad, there's a problem with the manufacturing process of this medicine, and it can't exert its full effect."
Long Xiao didn't want the Lin Group to develop too quickly. If it developed too fast, there would be too many problems for Lin Shijie to handle, and he would have to step in to help.
He thought of a manufacturing method that could improve the medicinal effect but was very tedious and taught it to Lin Shijie.
Long Xiao told Lin Shijie to mix the powder with water to form a paste, then boil it in a clay pot to make an ointment. After the ointment had completely dried, grind the hardened pieces into powder to complete the process.
To increase the difficulty, Long Xiao also told Lin Shijie that metal must not touch the ointment during boiling and drying, otherwise the medicinal effect would be reduced by half.
Lin Shijie carefully recorded the manufacturing process. Old Mrs. Lin, who was watching from the side, suspected that Long Xiao was tricking her son. Since she didn't understand medicine making, she didn't dare to say much.
After Lin Shijie finished recording, Long Xiao stood up to leave. Old Mrs. Lin said, "Long Xiao, can you give Shiren's family a way to survive? Help them."
Long Xiao looked at Old Mrs. Lin and said, "Grandma, each family has its own way of life. I don't owe them anything, so I won't give them money to support them."
"Long Xiao, I'm not asking you to give them money to support them, I'm asking you to give them a job."
Long Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "Grandma, I don't even have a job right now. I have to go around reading feng shui to earn a living. Where can I find a job for them? Besides, they ran the Lin Group into bankruptcy. Who would dare to hire them?"
Before Long Xiao returned, Old Mrs. Lin had already spoken to Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan also used the reason of not needing the Lin Shiren family to run the Lin Group into bankruptcy.
Long Xiao returned to his room. Just as he was about to rest, Ye Xiao called him and told him the reason for the explosion at the dock.
The explosion at the dock was not caused by a fire, but by an explosion that led to a fire. A total of thirty-eight people died on the spot or from serious injuries, including five Japanese people.
Before the explosion, five Japanese people had boarded the ship with a battery removed from an electric vehicle. The explosion was definitely related to the electric vehicle battery.
"Was the battery removed from an electric vehicle produced by Xuan Xiao Group?" Long Xiao asked.
"That's right. That battery is a patented battery produced by the Xuan Xiao Group's electric vehicle factory."
Now the matter was completely clear. The Japanese must have wanted to disassemble the battery for research, which resulted in a violent explosion.
Before the mass production of the battery, Zhao Tongxiang had required that the battery casing be made of a highly ductile metal, and that the words 'Danger, Disassembly Explosion' be marked on the casing.
The battery manual also warned of disassembly explosions, and when modifying the electric vehicle, the battery was placed in the center of the car, the safest position.
At that time, Long Xiao did not understand why Zhao Tongxiang did this. Now he finally understood completely that Zhao Tongxiang must have done something to the battery.
