"Underwater space?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled, "You mean there are caves where dragons lie dormant underwater?"

Wang Xinran shook his head, "There should be a space where dragons lie dormant under the water, but it may not be a cave."

"What is that?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran sat down from the sofa, "In the early years, when dealing with the shipwreck incident, the 18th Branch organized relevant personnel to conduct underwater surveys of the waters of Poyang Lake. According to the documentary records, there are a large number of underwater buildings in the waters of Poyang Lake. Most of these underwater buildings are ancient cities flooded by lake waters. Currently, there are three relatively large ancient cities, Chaisang, Xunyang and Xiaoyang."

"There is also an ancient city under the water of Heilongtan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran shook her head, "I'm not sure, this area of ​​water is not mentioned in the case file."

"Since they have conducted underwater surveys, they should know where the three ancient cities are underwater," said Wu Zhongyuan.

Wang Xinran pointed to the cabinet in the hall. Wu Zhongyuan understood and walked over and took a bottle of mineral water and threw it to her. Wang Xinran took the mineral water, unscrewed it and took a few sips, and then said, "The survey work was not done in detail at that time. It may also be affected and restricted by objective factors such as the technology and the special environment here. They only roughly determined the general location of the two ancient cities, Xunyang and Xiaoyang. As for Chaisang, the case file did not specify its location, but was only in the northwest direction of Poyang Lake."

"Chaisang, why is it so familiar?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned. He seemed to have seen or heard of this place name somewhere.

Wang Xinran did not answer the conversation and picked up the water bottle and continued to drink water.

"I remembered it," Wu Zhongyuan Yi gained something. "When Cao's army went south, the Shu Kingdom sent Zhuge Liang to Eastern Wu to discuss the two countries' resistance to Cao. Zhuge Liang was Sun Quan who came to Chaisang to meet."

Wang Xinran still didn't respond. Her history was not as good as Wu Zhongyuan's studies because she was not a real student in the Department of Archaeology.

After a long time, neither of them spoke. After Wang Xinran drank water, she lit another cigarette. When she was half a child, Wu Zhongyuan spoke, "What should we do now?"

Wang Xinran said, "I know what you are thinking, but I can't support you."

"Why?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran thought about it and said, "There are several reasons. First, we are not sure whether they are trapped underwater. Second, we do not understand the situation underwater. Third, if they are really trapped underwater, we are not sure whether they are still alive. Also, we do not know what they are looking for in the water. What is the reason for our organization to risk going into the water? Save them? Even if I agree, can the superior agree?"

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless.

Wang Xinran knew that he was worried about Lin Qingming, so she comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. The people on Poyang No. 1 are still outside. If they are really trapped underwater in black suits, they should be more anxious than us."

Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

Wang Xinran put out the cigarette and said, "Now we have released the crew of Poyang No. 1. They may contact these crew members. I have ordered people to closely monitor those crew members. At present, we have two choices. One is to carry out arrest and raid interrogation after they appear. If they can confirm that the black suit is going to the water to find spirit stones, I have reason to organize personnel to go into the water and rescue them while looking for spirit stones. The second choice is to wait and let them do what they want to do. We will not stop them from trying to save people, and wait until they rescue people before carrying out arrest. Which of these two methods is better?"

"The second one," said Wu Zhongyuan, "the people in Poyang No. 1 may not know what Zhao Ying is looking for, but are just cooperating with them to dive underwater."

"Okay, listen to you." Wang Xinran nodded.

"Have you sent someone to monitor around Heilongtan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes, they are all two kilometers away, and they are under surveillance and observation," Wang Xinran said. "Those people are not ordinary criminals. They have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. If they are too close, they may alarm them."

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and asked again, "Can you let the satellite determine what is under the Black Water Pond?"

Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, "Satellites can only photograph things on the ground, and they can't detect underwater. If you want to know what is under the Black Water Pond, you have to use a submarine."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, he saw Wu Zhongyuan begging, and without waiting for him to speak, he banished his words first, "What do you want to do? You don't really want me to transfer a submarine over, right?"

"Can you?" Wu Zhongyuan smirked.

"Do you want an aircraft carrier?" Wang Xinran looked at him again.

Wu Zhongyuan was choked and could only shut up with embarrassment.

Seeing him frustrated, Wang Xinran felt that what he said just now was a bit too much, "You have to understand us. If we deal with things like this, low-key handling is the first principle. We cannot make the whole city full of storms. Once the public knows that there are dragons, it will be difficult for them to remain objective and sober. They will not simply regard it as a rare aquatic animal. They will have doubts about the materialist worldview. They will think that since there are really dragons, will there be ghosts, will there be aliens, spread rumors and random guesses, and finally they will be in chaos."

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless. Although he was worried about the safety of Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying, the 18th Branch also had his own difficulties.

The only thing that can be done at the moment is to wait. Wang Xinran also knew what Wu Zhongyuan was worried about. Every hour he contacted the person responsible for surveillance near Heilongtan to ask if there were any abnormalities in the nearby waters. To put it bluntly, he asked if there were any corpses floating up.

Wu Zhongyuan was grateful for Wang Xinran's approach, but he also had new concerns while being grateful. The absence of a floating corpse does not mean that Lin Qingming and others are still alive, and may have been eaten by the dragon or killed by the dragon in the underwater space.

While waiting, the headquarters was not idle. Although they didn't know why Zhao Ying and others sneaked into the Black Water Pond, they could check historical materials to determine whether the ancients built a city from there before the water was flooded.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, news came from the headquarters. After further search and comparison, it can be roughly determined that the waters of Heilongtan are the location of the ancient city of Chaisang. The place name Chaisang is still used now, but the current Chaisang and ancient Chaisang are not the same place, just like the current Luoyang and ancient Luoyang are not in the same place.

In addition, the ancient Chaisang City was established in the middle of the Han Dynasty and was flooded by lake water as early as before the Jin Dynasty. It has existed for more than two hundred years. The headquarters inferred from this that if Zhao Ying and others went into the water to find the spirit stone, the owner of the spirit stone underwater should be the warrior who appeared in 213 AD, that is, the Three Kingdoms period.

The warriors sent by the tribe to look for him were not all men, but also several female warriors. The warrior who appeared in the Three Kingdoms period was a young woman. The description of this person was "beautiful and petite, with few words and tricks, good at using hidden weapons, and a mole on the left forehead."

This news made Wu Zhongyuan's mood slightly improve. Fortunately, this warrior was a woman. If he was a man, it would be troublesome. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were only a few thousand famous generals in history. It was extremely difficult to find the warrior among these people.

Even so, it is difficult for the headquarters to determine the identity of this female warrior during the Three Kingdoms period in a short period of time. It is easy to say that she is beautiful, but she looks good, but her petiteness is not enough to be a condition for screening. The average height of our modern adult men is only 1.67 meters, while women are only 1.56 meters. However, the height of ancient people is quite different from that of modern people. According to archaeological discoveries, the average height of thousands of male corpses unearthed in tombs during the Qin and Han Dynasties was actually 1.8 meters tall.

This is a very surprising number, but it is real archaeological data. Such archaeological discoveries cannot prove that people are getting shorter and shorter, but they can prove that men in the Qin and Han dynasties are much taller than they are now.

Therefore, the petiteness mentioned by the little wizard cannot be a condition for screening, and it is useless to speak less and make more tricks, because the tongue-in-law is a minority after all, and most women don’t talk much.

Now there are only three points that can be used as a reference for searching. They are good-looking and can use hidden weapons and mole on the left forehead. The historians at the headquarters need to use these three points to find this female warrior from a large number of historical materials from the Three Kingdoms period, as long as there are records about her in the historical materials.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the water police came from the water police. It was not good news or bad news, but strange news. When the incident happened, all seven people on the Poyang No. 1 ship surrendered themselves and admitted that they hired ships to illegally catch Yangtze River swordfish. As for anything else, they did not mention anything else.

Upon hearing the news, Wang Xinran and Wu Zhongyuan looked at each other. They didn't expect the other party to do this. The other party just surrendered himself, and did not tell the water police about Zhao Ying and others about anything, nor did they ask the water police for help.

"They are forcing us to rescue us." Wang Xinran said.

"What should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The other party's move was very clever. There was no evidence that these people had done other bad things besides illegal fishing. They surrendered because they knew that he and Wang Xinran had learned about this and were indirectly telling them in the form of surrendering, 'Don't wait, we can't handle this matter, come on.'

"What else can I do? What a bunch of scoundrels." Wang Xinran was both angry and helpless. The other party clearly asked them to wipe their butts, but she had to wipe their butts, because Lin Qingming was probably still underwater, and that was Wu Zhongyuan's senior brother.

"They don't act like a rogue, and there is no other way," Wu Zhongyuan was helpless, "A ship that big was knocked over, and they had no other way to rescue him. After all, this is on our territory, and they can't send warships here."

Wang Xinran had a dark face and did not respond.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was considering how to save people, and knew that if Lin Qingming had not participated in this matter, Wang Xinran would definitely stand by and watch. After all, the calculations were finally settled on him. He felt guilty and had no confidence and asked carefully, "Do you want to go over and interrogate them yourself?"

"No need," Wang Xinran waved his hand, "they have already discussed in advance. They will not say what they shouldn't say, let alone they are not aware of important things."

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Look at what to do. Even if we don't want to save people, we will have to go on a journey to find the spirit stone sooner or later."

"A group of idiots who are not good at making things happen," Wang Xinran made a furious vent. "The dragon has been angered by them. Now it's angry. Who dares to get into the water at this time..."
