Chapter 38 Details
After putting on makeup, of course you have to change your clothes.

The city of Mexicali is located at the bottom of a desert valley, and there is a big temperature difference between winter and summer. In summer, the temperature is easily over 40 degrees, while in winter, the coldest time is only 4 or 5 degrees.

It is April now, and it is not too hot. The daytime temperature is only about 30 degrees Celsius, and the night temperature is 15 or 16 degrees Celsius. The temperature difference between day and night is very large, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong.

Gao Yi was wearing a pair of jeans, a long-sleeved shirt and a pair of sunglasses. This kind of outfit is very common in Mexicali and there was nothing unusual about it.

And Sean was no longer wearing his suit. He changed into a red plaid shirt, a pair of jeans, a pair of fancy boots, and a big cowboy hat on his head, which looked exaggerated and funny.

The car was a Kia Rio, which was very common in Mexicali. It was a bit small, and it looked even more ridiculous after Sean, who was dressed in an exaggerated style, sat in it.

"Why are you wearing such clothes?"

Sean smiled and said, “Because those Americans like it.”

Gao Yi looked around and said, "I don't see anyone else with the same look as you."

"Because the exaggerated style can make people focus on my appearance. They will think that there is something wrong with this American country bumpkin who dresses like this, instead of wondering if there is any danger in approaching this person."

Shrugging, Sean rolled down the car window, spat out, and continued, "As an assistant, when I dress up as a 19th century cowboy, although it will attract unnecessary attention, it will effectively help you reduce your vigilant and cautious gaze. This is called shifting the focus of attention."

Gao Yi learned something again. He said sincerely, "Thank you for your advice."

Sean would answer every question Gao Yi had, explaining everything without reservation.

An open conspiracy, or an open conspiracy, let Gao Yi know what it feels like to have an experienced assistant by his side.

Sean drove out of the parking lot of the five-star hotel and slowly drove onto the street.

Mexicali is located close to the US-Mexico border. The city is actually quite large, and there are many pedestrians on the streets. From time to time, you can even see fully armed police officers on duty on the streets.

There are also a lot of tourists, and there is no doubt that most of these tourists are from the United States.

It was already late when we set out. It was now past ten in the morning, but we could already see scattered prostitutes on the streets. Most of them had thick legs and big butts, wandering around the intersections in revealing clothes.

Gao Yi had been looking at the scenery on the street. He couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to stay in the city?"

"Yes, from the moment you set out, you must act like a tourist. From the moment the mission begins, you must be prepared to be investigated. The reason is simple. It may take a long time for us to get close to the target. These are all preventive measures. Although the possibility of being noticed and investigated is small, you must be prepared to face the investigation."

Sean's car slowed down, he rolled down the window, and shouted to an ugly-looking woman on the side of the road, "Hey, how much is it!"

When the woman came over and pretended to put her arm on the car window, Sean suddenly accelerated and shouted rudely: "Bitch, hahahaha..."

Gao Yi was dumbfounded, and Sean, who had laughed rudely, rolled up the car window and said calmly, "Say hello to the locals. If a woman has to wait for customers on the roadside in the morning, it means she is being controlled. Here, only the Haqita Group can control her. Our behavior will leave a deep impression on her, and there is a high probability that it will tell the pimp who controls her. In this way, we will leave an image of rude, stupid, and ignorant American tourists in the Haqita Group. In this way, even if we are discovered, questioned, and investigated during the investigation, we will have a clear and harmless image."

"Oh, I see."

Gao Yi knew the purpose of Sean's doing this, but he immediately asked: "Why do you want to leave this image?"

Sean shrugged and said, "It's simple. Do you think a killer would be bored enough to do something like this?"

Gao Yi suddenly realized, "That's not the case. I now understand it completely. If we are noticed and investigated during today's investigation, the image we leave behind will greatly reduce the target's vigilance. So as long as we don't take action, they won't regard us as killers."

"Yes, but it's not just killers. Other identities that may pose a threat to the target can also be effectively concealed, such as mercenaries, police officers, members of rival gangs, or the CIA in the United States. In short, the preparations for hiding the identity need to be done well from the details. Many killers are exposed before they take action because of the lack of preparations, but this is inevitable because it is difficult to do these preparations well if there is only one person."

Behind every seemingly outrageous action, there is a thought-provoking reason. Now every word Sean says is an extremely valuable experience for Gao Yi.

As for the fact that it is difficult for one person to complete all these preparations, this was Sean's deliberate reminder, and Gao Yi automatically ignored it.

"What about tomorrow? We will have a different image when we come back tomorrow, so today's preparations are only for today's reconnaissance. Tomorrow's reconnaissance will require another cover action."

Xiao En turned his head and looked at Gao Yi, and said, "Yes, you learn very quickly."

"Thank you."

It's quite pleasing to be praised by others.

This time Sean didn't go in circles, he drove out of the city.

The road was fine and we drove pretty fast, but the scenery after leaving the city was nothing special, just a monotonous desert with only sisal and cactus on both sides of the road, which quickly made people drowsy.

Gao Yi, who didn't want to sleep and was just making small talk, suddenly said, "If the target is a drug lord known to everyone, why do we need to take action? Everyone knows where he lives. Doesn't Mexico want to get rid of him?" Sean smiled and said, "More than half of the illegal businesses in Mexicali are controlled by the target. The mayor is the target's people, the police are the target's people, and the target also gives a lot of money to the CIA. How can the official forces of Mexico get rid of the target? I'm afraid that someone who wants to deal with the target will be killed by the target first."

Gao Yi asked curiously, "I know that Mexico has launched a war against drug dealers, but the results don't seem to be very good. I'm curious, are drug dealers so difficult to deal with?"

Sean was puzzled and asked, “Since you know the current situation in Mexico, why don’t you know how difficult the war on drugs in Mexico is?”

Gao Yi really didn't know, because he had never paid attention to Mexico before, so he simply didn't understand now.

"I just don't understand. They've sent in the army, artillery fire, tanks charging. How can a country's army be afraid of a group of drug dealers?"

Sean was stunned for a moment. He said in astonishment: "Tanks? Cannons? Don't you know that the Mexican army doesn't have tanks? Also, they don't have large-caliber cannons. How can they use cannons to attack?"

This time it was Gao Yi who was surprised.

"What? A country with a population of over 100 million doesn't even have tanks? And no cannons? Are you kidding me? How is this possible?"

Gao Yi didn't expect this, and he couldn't understand how Mexico could not even have tanks and cannons. He couldn't understand it and couldn't believe it.

Sean curled his lips and said, "The Mexican Army not only has no tanks and artillery, but also no armed helicopters. There is only one reason for this: it is too close to the United States."

After hearing this, Gao Yi understood.

After a moment of silence, Gao Yi took a long breath and said, "Too far from heaven, too close to America, so this is what it means."

"The Mexican military only uses light weapons, so the drug lords' weapons can be better than the government troops and their combat effectiveness can be stronger. Okay, here we are."

Sean turned his head and said, "Look to your right, there is a path, and the house on it is the target manor."

Gao Yi has already seen it.

A low and gentle hill, surrounded by sisal and cactus, but there is a forest near the hillside.

It covers a large area and is surrounded by open space. If you park your car on the side of the road, it will be easily discovered.

Sean's car didn't stop or even slow down, he just drove straight past.

Gao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Can we just take a look at it and forget about it?"

Sean said calmly, "Do you have any plans? Let me remind you that if you park your car, you will definitely be discovered. It will be impossible for you to get close to the manor, let alone enter."

Gao Yi knew that stopping would mean being exposed, but if he just passed by like that, even surveillance would be impossible.

A controlled city, an extremely closed small environment, extremely tight security, and a target who rarely goes out.

Gao Yi knew why the gardener gave him this task as a test, because this task was really difficult to complete.

But since Sean always answers questions, it would be better to just ask him directly.

Gao Yi said calmly: "The task is difficult, do you have any good ideas?"

Sean did not answer Gao Yi's question this time. He just smiled and said, "This is your job, not mine. If there is a way, then the gardener doesn't have to ask you to come, right?"

This answer makes so much sense.

Gao Yi thought about it and decided to change the way he asked the question.

"If we have to wait for the target to leave, is there any way you can monitor the target?"

This time, Sean didn't answer right away, but he didn't rush to refuse to answer. After thinking for a moment, he finally said, "The only way to monitor is to use equipment, such as battery-powered cameras. However, if such cameras are discovered, it means that the action is exposed, causing the target to be extremely vigilant."

As long as there is a way, Gao Yi said bluntly: "It doesn't matter, just give up if the action is exposed. It's only $200,000. At worst, I won't make any money."

Sean was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Gao Yi smiled and said, "But if we haven't been exposed, we must give it a try. We don't need to monitor the target's manor directly, just monitor this road. You must have equipment, right? Take it out."
