Five Hundred and Eighty-Six. Blockade of Chemical Plants
?? There are green plants growing in the planting pots, all of which are uniform in height, more than two meters high. The opened leaves are palm-shaped, but the edges are split, and the lobes are linear-lanceolate, more than ten centimeters long , the rally is flourishing.
Qin Shiou was not familiar with this plant, but after hearing Bird's solemn warning, he subconsciously thought of something: "Don't tell me, this is his damn marijuana!"
Bird nodded as a matter of course, and Nelson said: "Yes, this is immature marijuana. Damn it, when did the factory become a marijuana plantation? We didn't even know it!"
Qin Shiou didn't expect to find this thing in his inadvertent search. He took a closer look at this miraculous plant that was passed down in China, and he was quite curious.
In fact, in Canada, growing marijuana indoors has become a new production method for drug dealers to manufacture and sell this kind of marijuana. This production method is called an indoor marijuana farm.
Indoor marijuana farms first appeared on the west coast of Canada and the west coast of the United States, and Newfoundland can be said to be the place of origin.
Qin Shiou didn't dare to be careless. After leaving the factory, he immediately called the police station and told Roberts that he suspected that someone was growing marijuana in the abandoned factory.
Upon receiving the news, Roberts drove a police car to the Spring Chemical Plant. When he saw Qin Shiou, he asked, "Dude, why do you have this suspicion?"
Qin Shiou explained: "It's also a coincidence. Isn't everyone taking advantage of the low tide to catch gooseneck barnacles recently? You know I like to eat this thing very much, and our fishing ground is crowded, so a little barnacle is not enough. So I just want to find a place where there are fewer people and more barnacles."
"As a result, I chose the small cliff behind the chemical plant. When I was about to go down, I happened to see the electric meter of this chemical plant. At that time, the pointer of the electric meter was beating rapidly. This is obviously abnormal, and it consumes too much electricity. Now, I have to suspect that something dirty is going on inside!"
His reason is a bit far-fetched, because an abandoned factory uses too much electricity to suspect others of growing marijuana? But in Newfoundland. This reason is valid.
Indoor marijuana cultivation requires a complete set of cultivation tools, including efficient indoor lighting, automatic irrigation systems, powerful ventilation systems, and more.
These tools have a particularly large demand for electricity, so a surge in electricity consumption in a building without a reasonable explanation can be suspected to be indoor marijuana cultivation.
After receiving Qin Shiou's reply, Roberts went to check the location of the electric meter, and his expression became serious.
The town's electricity is pulled from St. John's through submarine cables, so the payment of electricity bills has nothing to do with the town, and the town has no way to monitor any changes in which households use electricity.
Check it out now. There is obviously something wrong with an abandoned chemical factory consuming so much electricity. Roberts agreed with Qin Shiou's statement, so he called the St. John's Police Headquarters and asked them to mobilize anti-narcotics police to investigate the matter.
In fact, it is very simple to determine whether there is marijuana in the chemical plant, just check it.
But Roberts can't do this. First of all, Canadian law stipulates that private property is sacred and inviolable. He had no right to enter Spring Chemical without a warrant.
Secondly, if there are indeed people growing marijuana inside, the criminals are usually extremely vicious, and the firepower of their guns is definitely higher than that of the town police. It would be too risky for Roberts to go in.
It is unrealistic to require ordinary police officers to take risks to fight drugs, which is also related to Canada's national conditions. What job does it do? It’s not that the anti-narcotics police have not received special orders, and they don’t care about drug cultivation and trading. This is also one of the reasons why the Canadian marijuana trade is crazy.
The St. Johns Police Headquarters took this issue very seriously, and soon a Black Hawk helicopter rumbled over. The police still cannot go directly to the chemical plant. You have to get evidence first.
How to obtain evidence? It's very simple, as Qin Shiou saw, the light in the basement is particularly abundant, because marijuana needs a lot of light to grow. Drug dealers have to use powerful lamps to illuminate marijuana to stimulate their growth.
As we all know, the heat dissipation of high-power lamps is terrible. It can cause very hot flashes in the house. In this way, you only need to use an infrared detector to check. This anti-drug helicopter is equipped with a sensitive infrared detector, which can penetrate a five-meter-thick concrete layer or a ten-meter-thick soil layer to monitor temperature changes.
The helicopter hovered for two weeks, and then landed not far away, and a group of anti-drug police officers wearing helmets and holding submachine guns or shotguns rushed out.
Roberts had a few words with the lead policeman, and then brought Qin Shiou over. The white policeman asked seriously, "Sir, how long have you been monitoring this factory? Have you found anything?"
Qin Shiou shook his head pretending to be ignorant of the situation in the factory, and said, "I only noticed today that no one usually enters or leaves the factory."
The police officer leading the team nodded to thank him, and then waved his hand, the anti-drug policemen broke open the factory gate with their dogs, and rushed towards the last workshop.
The next thing is very simple. After entering the basement of the workshop and finding those marijuana, the anti-narcotics police seized the Spring Chemical Factory.
Qin Shiou asked Roberts, "Did they catch the owners of these marijuana?"
Roberts shook his head in frustration and said: "No, the other party is very cunning and has used a fully intelligent planting system. Just check the system every once in a while, and don't need to stay here."
The police officer who led the team came up and saluted Qin Shiou to thank him for his clues, and said: "We will seal up this factory and arrest the relevant person in charge of the factory immediately. In addition, please inform the townspeople not to approach here in the near future."
Despite discussions across Canada about the decriminalization of marijuana, the possession and use of marijuana is illegal for non-medical purposes. According to the law, possession of less than 30 grams of marijuana can be punished with 6 months in prison and a fine of 1,000 yuan, and cultivation of marijuana can result in a maximum of 14 years in prison.
According to the scale of marijuana cultivation in the basement of the factory, once the owner is caught, the 14-year prison sentence cannot be avoided.
The owner of the spring chemical factory also got unlucky. Even if he didn't know about this matter, at least he couldn't keep the chemical factory. The Canadian government is very strict in investigating and punishing indoor marijuana cultivation. Once found, no matter what the situation is, Buildings for marijuana cultivation must be seized and nationalized.
All the marijuana in the basement was destroyed on the spot. The anti-narcotics police left a few people behind to deal with the aftermath, and the others left Farewell Island by helicopter.
Qin Shiou left before some townspeople came up to watch. At the same time, he told Roberts not to disclose the news that he called the police. He didn't want to provoke those crazy drug dealers. It would be troublesome if he was retaliated against.
Back at the villa, Qin Shiou opened the trunk of the car and took out a dozen green tender seedlings, which were surprisingly hemp seedlings. (to be continued~^~)
