Concentrated sulfuric acid is an extremely corrosive chemical.
If you've killed someone and want to destroy the evidence, throwing the body into a sulfuric acid pool is the most effective way.
Of course, that's unrealistic and difficult for ordinary people to achieve, because firstly, concentrated sulfuric acid is not easy to buy.
The reason Nie's exists is because it is a chemical raw material needed in the washing of sea sand.
Its storage requirements are also very strict. It cannot be stored in materials such as iron, ceramics, or steel. It can only be stored in containers made of PTFE, which is polytetrafluoroethylene.
Another thing is that it emits a particularly strong, pungent odor.
If you were to use it to dissolve a corpse in a residential building or somewhere similar, the residents would report you.
But it can even corrode steel, so corroding a few pieces of clothing is nothing to it.
So Liang Lisheng had Ahui bury a bucket of concentrated sulfuric acid in the sand.
Then a special channel was made, supported by a plastic stick. When the clothes were put in and the stick was removed, the sulfuric acid tank would close naturally, and all the clothes and shoes would begin to dissolve.
Even for just a short while, a pungent odor would emanate from the air, which is why Ahui sprayed air freshener.
But after a while, the military will inevitably evacuate everyone from the tunnel, leaving only the vehicles, and then search them one by one. Those dozens of dump trucks will be the focus of their search.
But if a bucket of sulfuric acid is found, even if the clothes inside have already turned to water, it will still be used as evidence.
That's why Chen Rou made a request to the British squad leader for a stretcher or a wheelchair.
The clothes should have dissolved by now. In Ahui's car, there is a specially made rope mechanism. He only needs to pull it to open the baffle that supports the sand. The sand will flatten the plastic bucket, and the sulfuric acid will spill out. He can then pull out the box, put it under the wheelchair or stretcher, and take it out directly.
Then, not only will the bandits be innocent and without a trace, but the clothes they wore will also disappear into thin air.
Moreover, compared to the massive amount of sand on the truck, the amount of sulfuric acid used to dissolve the clothes is not much, so it will be directly absorbed by the sand.
The smell will certainly be pungent and unpleasant, but if the military raises this issue when inspecting the sand, Liang Lisheng can explain it away by having his son take the blame, saying that his son Liang Sihan made a mistake while preparing the sand washing chemicals.
That explanation is quite reasonable; after all, it's not a big deal if the sulfuric acid content in the sand in a car exceeds the standard.
This isn't just a perfect crime, it's a super-perfect crime.
Of course, from now on, Colonel Rango's days are going to get tough.
What he was always proud of was that the invincible British army was not only outmaneuvered by two bandits on their home turf, but also couldn't find them even after watching them enter the tunnel. That was ridiculous enough.
About 40 minutes later, Huo Qi, the former deputy captain of the Flying Tigers who had been dismissed, made a direct call to the Governor's Office and announced that he had found evidence that the Military Intelligence Bureau was operating in Hong Kong, specifically within a military base.
Colonel Rango certainly knew what this news meant.
But before he could even get angry and start cursing Sir James, another accident happened.
The governor called personally, saying that there were babies, ladies, and women trapped in the tunnel, and they had to be released.
At the same time, in order to conduct the search as thoroughly as possible, he issued a strict order that no outsiders were allowed to enter. However, the governor insisted that medical personnel must be allowed to carry stretchers into the area to evacuate the elderly, weak, sick, and disabled.
Thus, the British military base, which was the pride of the British army, not only suffered a major embarrassment, but even the governor knew about it.
If Colonel Rango insists on not allowing the stretcher to enter, Hong Kong journalists could easily tear him apart with their pens tomorrow.
Left with no other choice, he had to lower his head and bring in the stretcher and wheelchair.
Of course, he also rushed to the exit himself, trying his best to personally search each one and find the two bandits.
This is an utter disgrace! If we can't catch them, Colonel Rango's reputation will be ruined.
Leaving him aside, let's return to Nie Zhao.
He hasn't changed his clothes since this morning; he's been wearing the same outfit. But his bodyguards have changed and are accompanying him in three cars, passing the Nip Building, heading straight for the Cross-Harbour Tunnel.
Now, he is going to pick up his victorious, triumphant wife to take her home.
In the car, he kissed his son in his arms, unable to hide his joy, and said, "Let's go pick up Mom."
When A-Yuan was carried into the car, he knew he was going to pick up his mother.
Are you happy? Clap your hands and shout, "Wow!"
Nie Zhao was still shaken, and murmured to his son, "It's over. From now on, everything is over."
Yes, although it was thrilling, tonight's events are finally over.
Evidence that could potentially lead to Nie's company being blacklisted by the WTO and removed from Western business communities has been presented.
Of course, those things are indeed very important, because Nie Zhao is not an ordinary person; he is a wealthy man.
Even if he dies, he wants to leave his son enough wealth to either carry on the family business or be able to squander it all in the future.
But to his relief, his wife once again completed her task perfectly.
And this should be the last time, no, it must be the last time.
Because in just nine months, on July 1, 1997, Hong Kong would officially return to China.
From now on, Nie Zhao will have to behave himself; he won't even run red lights anymore.
