Chapter 6 Preliminary Exploration of the Grain Depot
An equally important question is: How could Cao Wenwen, or rather the police uncles and aunts, find out about our illegal detention of Chi Ying and five other people? There was absolutely no clue left in this matter. We caught that person in that rental house
Five people, and then took them to Jiang Nan's house. The next day, they were handed over to Xiaohan and sent to the iron prison. So the only people who knew about this matter were the team members and Ling.
Kong and the four guards of the iron prison...could it be that Ling Kong betrayed me?
No, it shouldn't be him. If you think about it, he is the real owner of the illegal detention and the mastermind behind those torture devices. He is so deeply involved in Mrs. Yin's organization that there is no reason to report me.
A name popped into my mind: Dong Hao. Yes, he is also one of the insiders. After I took Xiao Luqi away from Jiushi Xijiao Garden, I lost contact with the organization. Dong Hao has no way of knowing what happened after that.
, this Cao Wenwen has no way of knowing. From this point of view, Cao Wenwen's understanding of me probably came from Dong Hao, especially the matter involving Chi Ying and other five people. Dong Hao was also one of the parties involved at the time. Moreover,
Dong Hao had some bad relations with Li Qianyu: According to the reasoning I told Mingying before, he was probably the one who let Li Qianyu go. Dong Hao probably knew about my infiltration into Chen Ziqi from Li Qianyu.
But... the police did seal my home that day... How to explain this?
No, this matter was actually told to me by Ling Kong. I did not see it with my own eyes as to whether it was indeed true.
Moreover, on Jinshan Island that day, Yang Tao once told me that the identity of Dong Hao's father could definitely be one of the powerful positions in Shanghai. From this point of view, even if Cao Wenwen is a real policeman, she may not be Dong Hao's private
He used his connections to send me as an undercover agent.
If this is the case, then the identity of this woman will be even more troublesome. Ling Kong and Dong Hao colluded, and Dong Hao and Li Qianyu had some dirty relations. In a sense, Mrs. Yin’s organization and Chen Ziqi
It turned out to be mixed and intertwined. In this case, I didn't even have a chance to stand in line. Without someone behind me, I couldn't feel at ease.
Looking at Cao Wenwen's side profile, I couldn't stop complaining in my heart.
The two of them had "each other's own agenda" and walked in silence toward the grain depot. The road was slowly downhill, and it was quite easy to walk. When they arrived near the gate, the street lights on both sides were broken and there was no lighting at all.
"This grain depot is very strange, don't you think?" I walked around and said to Cao Wenwen.
"What's weird?" Cao Wenwen felt a little timid after hearing my insidious way of speaking.
"First of all, where should the grain depot be designed? It must be somewhere close to the grain production areas and with convenient transportation. It is usually at the junction of rural areas and cities. In the areas of Fengxian and Jinshan, although there are more farmlands, the output
All the grain is for Shanghai residents and will not be exported to Zhejiang or abroad. There is no need for sea transportation. So why build a grain depot on the seaside? It is very far from the city and the transportation is not convenient."
Cao Wenwen said "Oh" and said nothing.
I continued: "Second, in order to prevent rainwater from pouring in, grain depots are usually built on high ground. The road we walked just now was all downhill, indicating that the terrain of this grain depot is very low. This is not in line with the requirements for building a grain depot.
standard."
Cao Wenwen still didn't say a word, just listened silently.
The iron door was unlocked, and it felt rusty to the touch, probably from dried blood. When I shined a flashlight on it, it was shocking.
"Look at the work you do, you don't even wipe off the blood," I said teasingly.
"We are only responsible for investigating the scene. The urban management or cleaning staff should be responsible for cleaning up the blood stains. If you are not satisfied, go to the Municipal Administration Bureau." Cao Wenwen rolled her eyes and said.
I suddenly became speechless. Listening to this tone, she really sounded like someone who had been in the police force. In an instant, her image became a little blurry in my mind. Was she a policeman? I was really confused.
Fog.
But what gives me more headaches is this ghost place in front of me. If there have been three fires around the three-ring nested sign, the fire here is obviously different from the fire that happened in the seafood warehouse: The fire in the seafood warehouse
It was used to kill the drugged Su Chujun. However, since this grain depot was already built into a three-ring nested shape when it was built, it means that the person who presided over the construction of it was affiliated with the tomb-keeper organization. Why?
Was there also a fire?
Is there internal strife within the tomb-keeper organization?
This is also the question I want to find out most when I come here. I hope the fire has not completely destroyed this place.
With this in mind, I pushed the door in and looked around with a flashlight. I saw ashes on all sides and a state of dilapidation. It seemed that the fire was really burning hard. For some reason, I heard the footsteps of Cao Wenwen and me.
There always seemed to be a slight difference in their appearance. There was a faint sense of dissonance that made me couldn't help but glance at her shoes, but it didn't look like there was anything fishy about them.
"What happened to that flash just now?" Cao Wenwen asked me.
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. Today is July 6, 2007, the 22nd day of the fifth lunar month. Today is the last quarter of the moon, which only appears in the second half of the night. It's just after dark, and there must be no moonlight. So it shouldn't be
Something reflects the moonlight."
Cao Wenwen said in a trembling voice, "Is there a flashlight? Do you mean there are other people besides us in this ghost place?"
I shook my head and said, "I don't know. If there is someone else, he must be someone with ulterior motives. Did you bring him here?"
After hearing Cao Wenwen reluctantly say "yes", I continued walking inside and walked to the vicinity of the first granary. This is the outermost circle of one of the three-ring nested figures, and now only the base is left.
Putting on gloves, she pushed it in with both hands. This circular granary was estimated to have a diameter of about 20 meters, which was the largest of all granaries. Cao Wenwen did not dare to come in and said outside: "What's so good about this broken granary?"
I laughed "haha" twice and did not answer her. If you regard this field survey as an expedition to rob a tomb, you would be completely wrong. What I am concerned about is who designed this grain depot in the first place.
What kind of person is he? He must be inextricably linked to the three-ring nested logo. Therefore, we must understand his design concept.
"It seems to be empty down here." I stamped my feet on the ground in the granary, making an empty sound.
Cao Wenwen said quickly: "Empty? It has been burned by fire. Be careful if the floor is fragile and it falls."
"It's okay," I said, looking around, "this grain depot has a total of three doors. In my opinion, this is a drying warehouse. The bottom is designed to be empty to facilitate ventilation and drying of grain for long-term storage. And
, there is probably a gate down here." I jumped out of the granary, patted the ashes on my gloves, and said, "Is there anything fishy in your shoes?"
"Shoes?" Cao Wenwen was stunned for a moment and said, "No. Just ordinary shoes. What gate did you just say?"
"Well, when we walked in just now, the footsteps of you and me were slightly different. I guess there is an underground passage from the gate to here, which is connected to the sea water outside. In case of fire, as long as the gate is opened, the sea water will pour in
Come, let’s put out the fire.”
Cao Wenwen said "Oh" and didn't pay attention. But I was a little excited: If this place is the stronghold of the tomb-keeper organization, it's no wonder that they chose this place and built it like a grain depot - these tomb-keepers
They are all a branch of the Badjao people and have excellent diving abilities. If something happens, you can easily escape by water through the secret underground passage leading to the sea. And this place is very far from Fushan Island.
Near. As you know, there is also a three-ring nested logo on that island. This design can be described as meticulous.
Cao Wenwen and I continued to walk inside. There was nothing special about the other granaries. Two flashlights swayed in the low night and went straight to the center of these three-ring nested granaries. The map showed that the middle
The granary, which is also the largest one, is surrounded by six small granaries. The three semicircular open spaces surrounded by three circles are all storage yards for turning and drying grain.
As we shuttled between the burnt-to-black granaries on both sides, a black dog occasionally ran past, barked twice, and ignored us. The granary at the back looked relatively intact, and it seemed that the source of the fire started from the front.
It was burned. The fire truck arrived fairly quickly and arrived at the scene before the fire even burned through the granary in the middle.
Soon, we arrived at the big warehouse in the middle. I found an iron rod and pried open the door lock. I was afraid that something would happen, so I still held the iron rod and walked in slowly.
Surprisingly, this warehouse is not used to store grain, but is filled with various chemical instruments.
"What are these?" Cao Wenwen held a flashlight and shone the instruments one by one. "The grain depot doesn't need these, right?"
I shook my head and said: "Grain depots also use these. The quality, ingredients, etc. of grain need chemical analysis. But..." I looked around, there are too many instruments here, right? Far more than
The number of instruments required for analysis in the grain depot is determined.
Cao Wenwen slowly walked toward the middle. I was afraid that something might happen to her, so I quickly followed her.
After walking a few steps, Cao Wenwen's feet suddenly sank. I thought it was a step, but as soon as she stepped on it, there was a sudden "click" sound somewhere behind her, and the floor below flipped a few times and suddenly folded up.
Stacked on both sides. I rushed forward, grabbed the clothes on Cao Wenwen's back, and pulled back hard. Her feet slipped and she sat on the ground with her buttocks.
Only then did I realize that after the floor was opened, a pool filled with water appeared in front of me.
In the panic, the iron bar I was holding in my hand for picking the lock was kicked down by Cao Wenwen and fell into the water. A "chi la" sound came and foam appeared in the water. Only then did I discover this pool.
What is inside is not water, but a strong acid or alkali liquid. If an iron rod falls into it, it will be corroded immediately.
Cao Wenwen was immediately stunned.
I took her two steps and then remembered that the "click" sound just now was probably the guy hiding in the dark, triggering some mechanism to make us disappear forever in this pool!
The sound of rapid footsteps came, and the frequency was unbelievable. I quickly said to Cao Wenwen: "Get down! Take it out!"
Before I finished speaking, my shoulder hurt, and I was grabbed by a strong hand. Without any explanation, I was dragged towards the fatal pool.
