(3) Unexpected
"Instructor, just now a municipal worker told us that there is more than one sewage ditch in the county, this is the sewage outlet in the west of the city, as well as the east and south of the city, and the most important thing is that they are all connected. Liu Cheng's voice was very eager on the walkie-talkie.
It was an unexpected thing, and although I knew it was complicated in the sewers, I didn't expect it to be like this.
Maybe it was because I was silent for a long time, and the walkie-talkie rang again, "Instructor, why did you go down? Are you okay with Zou Ping? If not, just come out of the next manhole cover and change us in?" This time it was the voice of my partner Chen Guijie, the deputy squadron leader.
Chen Guijie was the same age as me, and was a junior student who had just graduated from a military academy, and I arrived at the scene as the first force to dispatch in advance, and when he heard that the situation was complicated, he brought a second group of people and horses to rush over, and he was very surprised to hear that I had gone down.
"Team Chen, it's okay, don't use it for the time being, you can command it first" I don't know where I got the courage, and I competed with myself, and pressed the walkie-talkie button with difficulty.
At the same time, I could not imagine the anxious and anxious waiting of the families and onlookers on the road.
"008,001 call, received please answer" I knelt in the water and shouted over the walkie-talkie
"008 received, please speak" Liu Cheng's voice came.
"There is a fork in front of us, you ask Officer Zhu about the approximate direction, we need to determine the direction. I said.
"Yes. Liu Cheng replied crisply.
"Guide, I think the two of us will act separately, so that it will be faster and the search area will be larger," Zou Ping said to me suddenly.
"I said you kid, do you know the way?" I said in a tone that none of us had ever been here, and we didn't know how to go back if we got separated. ”
"But we can't help it, so we did our best. Zou Ping replied.
"Do you know what I'm most worried about right now?" I didn't answer.
"What?" Zou Ping suddenly turned around, the bright flashlight in his hand suddenly flickered into my eyes, and my headlamp also hit his eyes, and both of them were almost dizzy at once.
"Excuse me, guide. He pointed the pillar of light downward.
"I'll go!" I turned off my headlamp, and the light in the sewer dimmed.
"Ahem, I'm worried about the drainage of the sewers, we have been raining heavily a few days ago, the east and south of the city are distributed along the river across the city, it is unknown where the corpse is rushed, in case it falls into the river, it will be difficult to fish. I cleared my throat and said.
"Guide, then since he wants to throw the corpse, why don't he just throw it into the river or find a place to bury it, why put it down in the waterway, anyway, sooner or later he will be found, this is a big move. Zou Ping didn't understand.
"It's hard to say, I remember when we were training in a professional class, we learned that the body was put in the river, and on this hot day, it didn't take three days to float up, and it was quickly discovered. It's also a big action to bury it casually, there are a lot of wild cats, wild dogs and mice in the sewers, and it's not impossible to eat the corpses, and there are a lot of microorganisms, which decay quickly, and the important thing is that it can cover up the smell of decay......"
Before I finished speaking, Liu Cheng's call came from my walkie-talkie.
"Instructor, the suspect told Officer Zhu that he was going to come over and transfer the location of the body every few days, but he didn't expect to be arrested first. ”
"Damn, this pervert!" Zou Ping smacked hard.
It seems that this is not his last hiding place, and it is estimated that he did not think that the torrential rain would directly wash away the corpse without a trace.
"Let's go separately, hurry up like this," I accepted Zou Ping's suggestion.
"Walkie-talkie contact, it is estimated that it is not far away, if you encounter another fork in the road, maybe you can still meet," I said.
"Guide, let's ask Team Chen to bring an air pager down, otherwise if you go inside, you will really be suffocated." Zou Ping said very seriously.
Yes, finding the corpse is important, but your own life is even more important. I was almost carried away by the passion, I took the walkie-talkie and told Chen Guijie, and the two of them returned to the position of the previous manhole cover.
The air pager is heavy for me, and when you are half-squatting, you suddenly add another 20 pounds of weight on your body, and you have an extra mask on your face. Every little bit of progress seems so difficult.
Zou Ping to the left, I to the right. I didn't wear a mask because I felt like I could still breathe, and although the smell of the sewer was really strong, it wasn't enough to suffocate. The air pager is only about 20 minutes at most for a body like me, so let's save on it, in case there is no manhole cover and no running water in the pipe, then I can't even breathe fresh air.
It's really alone, without Zou Ping leading the way in front, in the dark passage, in addition to the sound of fine sewage flowing, only the lighting pillar from his headlamp shines until the darkness in front of him is swallowed up.
"Squeak" A mouse flew past me, I "hey", quickly turned sideways, and the cylinder of the air pager knocked on the pipe, making a "clang" sound. Before I could see where I went, it was already disappearing into the pillar of light of my headlamp.
After I came to my senses, I felt my heart pound as it was the second time I had hit the moss-covered pipe wall. The thing I hated the most was rats. Now in this environment, the eagerness to find the body has overshadowed this uneasiness and fear.
I mustered up my spirits and moved forward, and from time to time the words of other comrades-in-arms on the ground could be heard from the intercom. There seemed to be a hand in the darkness ahead that was about to grab me, and I had never experienced anything like it, and I shuddered at the thought of a corpse coming out of nowhere.
"002,004 call, please answer if you receive" Zou Ping's voice calling Chen Guijie suddenly came out of the walkie-talkie, rapid and powerful, it seemed that he had found something.
"002 received, please speak," Chen Guijie replied.
"Team Chen, there's a manhole cover above me, I can't push it open from the inside," Zou Ping said.
"Report your location"
……
There was no response
"004, tell me where you are," Chen Guijie continued.
Above me, I could faintly hear footsteps and cars.
Still no response
"Zou Ping, Zou Ping, please answer when you receive it, I am Chen Guijie" Team Chen seemed to be a little anxious.
Don't let anything happen.
"Zou Ping, please answer, I'm Fang Lu" I stopped, and shouted along with the walkie-talkie.
I was ready to turn around and walk back.
At this time, the walkie-talkie rang.
"Team Chen, guide, here's a bag of wet clothes and pants, there is blood on it, and a large handful of hair......" Zou Ping gasped and finally replied.
"I don't know if you can say it first?" Before Zou Ping finished speaking, Chen Guijie burst into a foul mouth on the walkie-talkie. This guy has a hot temper, he is really worried.
"What else is there besides clothes and pants?" I continued, excited to know the outcome.
"Okay, I'll take a look. Zou Ping replied.
A few seconds passed.
"And two hands, no nails. ”
