Chapter 181: Chisel the Wall (Xin)

We rested in the same place, while discussing the choice of the next lane, most people suggested going directly to the outer wall of the vault, only Lao Cai proposed, or go to the reserve they dug more than 30 years ago, as for the reason, Lao Cai only said, if it was really the case that they did back then, then they would definitely go back to the reserve first, where some ready-made tools were stored. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info but from his eyes, it doesn't seem to be as simple as he said.

I'd love to go to the alley where the disappearance had occurred, the reason is simple, since entering the bomb shelter, the thieves have left too many clues, everything seems to be developing according to our previous guess, of course, maybe after the vault's plan is successful, the thieves are confident that the gold will be delivered, and enough sure that we can't find out the details of them, so they will leave so many clues without some simple cover-up. But is it just their faith? On the contrary, only the alleyway seems to have nothing to do with the case, but it makes one wonder what is inside.

I didn't put forward my thoughts, because at that time I only thought it was a matter of order, and as the number of clues increased, it would be necessary to go in and probe sooner or later, without realizing how much the difference in order would affect the course of the case.

Team Cao seemed to have a similar opinion to me, hesitated for a moment, and still commanded everyone to set off towards the roadway leading to the vault under the leadership of Lao Cai.

The roadway was completely unlit, and the road ahead was relatively smooth, and after a while, the roadway began to become bumpy, and we noticed that it was not so much a roadway as a narrow crack between the huge rocks. It relied entirely on the course of the rocks of the mountain, and the bottom was made of earth and rock, and the place that was too narrow was excavated, and it seems that it was only for people to pass through. The top is completely unrepaired, and is completely hollow formed by natural mountain cracks.

But the air in this alleyway is not muddy, standing still in the alleyway, it seems that you can still feel the breeze blowing, and it seems that there are other passages in the alleyway to the outside. But the temperature inside was very low, it felt at least five or six degrees lower than outside, and in the pillars of light flashing around, the white gas coming out of the mouth was clearly visible.

Soon, we came to the place where the public security officers installed the iron gate. This is the narrowest part of this roadway, the iron gate is very simple, in fact, two half-meter-thick, three-meter-high cement pillars are built on both sides of the roadway, and two iron doors are fixed on the cement pillars. Because of the age, the door is covered with rust.

"This is the door, and after it was installed, I came here once, and about ten minutes walk inside, and it was the outer wall of the vault. Lao Cai said to the Cao team beside him.

"The lock here has been picked open, the door is hidden, let's go, let's go in. Team Cao pushed open the heavy iron door.

Behind the iron gate, the alley became wider, but Lao Cai did not take us along the alleyway, every time he reached a fork, he had to stop, as if he was recalling the path of the year, and sometimes he had to discuss a few words with Lao Zhao.

After a few turns, I had completely lost my sense of direction, and it seemed to me that the different forks were repeating themselves. The Cao team and the Wang team also gave up searching for the footprints, and soon after passing the iron gate, the ground seemed to have been washed by the mountain spring, wet, and there were no traces to be seen.

"We surveyed it for a month before we roughly figured out the structure of these roadways, and now there are no drawings, only by memory, we may make mistakes, and we will have to delay a little longer. Lao Cai explained to us as he walked.

The walk lasted for more than an hour, and when Cao and I began to doubt Lao Cai's memory, Lao Cai pointed to the dim stone pen arrow on the wall of the alley, and said to us: "Fortunately, there are still some marks left behind in those years, otherwise we may not be able to find the way to the outer wall of the vault after walking for a day." ”

Team Cao, who was walking on the side, suddenly asked: "Lao Cai, it is true that the roadway in this air-raid shelter is too complicated, without you, we may not even be able to rely on the edge of the outer wall of the vault." But I can't figure it out, why did you spend so long surveying such a large area when you came in to build an air-raid shelter?"

Team Cao's words were asked suddenly, Lao Cai obviously had no mental preparation, and was stunned for a moment and did not answer. But not long after, a slightly hoarse voice behind Lao Cai sounded, "Back then, if you don't go in to explore, you can't do it, if you don't sort out a map, it's easy for people to be enigmatic inside, you don't know the first time you come in, those ancient lanes are very weird, sometimes you can't bring a compass in." "It's Lao Zhao who hasn't opened his mouth for a long time.

At this moment, Lao Cai interrupted Lao Zhao's words and said a little anxiously: "Yes, no one wanted to spend so much effort, but in the year of digging the hole, the superiors instructed that the reconstruction of the air-raid shelter should be repaired according to the level of combat readiness, and the passage inside requires the width of a liberation truck that can be driven in, and the warehouse inside requires more than 300 square meters." Team Cao, you saw it when you came in, the outside is wide enough, but the alley inside is only two meters wide. ”

"Below this goose ridge, it was originally a big stone mountain, it was difficult to dig the channel, fortunately, there are some natural karst caves in the mountain, the area should be enough to reach the index, we were ready to explore the location of these caves, and then consider digging the channel, but later found that the cave is too far away from the outside of the air-raid shelter, and the excavation channel is impossible with our manpower, so we had to report to the superiors, and finally did not repair the large equipment warehouse, but built a general secondary material warehouse. ”

Lao Cai said a lot in one breath, what Team Cao asked, all the brains that didn't ask poured out, and others didn't care about anything, I obviously saw Team Cao frowning at me. Indeed, Lao Cai seemed to be a little overreacted under the sudden questioning of the Cao team, and many statements seemed to be unable to withstand scrutiny. But what I don't understand is that Lao Cai seems to be hiding something, and he seems to be worried about something, but I don't believe that he has anything to do with the bank theft case, he is by no means the kind of person who is thoughtful and super planned, but why is this?

Team Cao stopped, turned around and said to everyone: "It's been a long day of walking, let's rest in place, I don't know how far we have to go for a while." After speaking, everyone sat down on the edge of the alleyway, and Team Cao paced to my side, stretched, and said, "Lao Chang, give me a cigarette, if I continue like this, I will have arthritis." ”

I knew that Team Cao had cigarettes in his pocket, and he must have asked me for cigarettes to secretly say something to me. I took a cigarette out of my pocket, handed it to him, walked to the edge of the alleyway, took out the lighter, and lit a cigarette for him.

Team Cao leaned his head over, did not speak, and pouted to the side and back, in that direction, I saw Lao Zhao sitting in the corner, rubbing his legs, I nodded to Team Cao, and turned off the lighter.

Team Cao took two deep breaths, walked to Lao Cai's side, and said with a smile, "Lao Cai has worked hard, he should have taken a rest a long time ago, and he will trouble you later, the two of us will go to the front to explore, and then let the large army follow, so as not to make a mistake and have to take the wrong road." Lao Cai didn't shirk and nodded.

Ten minutes later, Team Cao and Lao Cai got up and walked to the alley in front. I sat down next to Lao Zhao, handed him a cigarette, lit it for him, and chatted with him very casually.

Lao Zhao is sixty-two this year, and he retired early in the year of the factory restructuring, usually playing cards, fishing, and living a very leisurely life. When the air-raid shelter was built, he had just been transferred to the factory, so most of the people who entered the cave together did not know him at that time.

When chatting with Lao Zhao, I found that he didn't talk much about the things in the bomb shelter back then, and it seemed that he was deliberately avoiding it, and he couldn't get around it, and he would answer two sentences vaguely. But he is not very good at hiding himself, and his personality is straightforward and easy to say, and after chatting for a while, I still heard some problems in it.

One is that this air-raid shelter project was not as important to the municipal government and factory leaders as Lao Cai said, and in Lao Zhao's view, it was purely a chore. Those who came here to support the construction were those who were relatively marginal in the factory and did not pursue progress very much, or workers like him who had just been transferred. At the beginning, everyone was not very motivated, and there were not a few people who pretended to be sick and asked for leave. Later, the person in charge of the project, the one who was looking for a place to go to the toilet as Lao Cai said, disappeared, Lao Cai was older and a person who dared to take responsibility, and slowly became the actual person in charge of the project.

After Lao Cai came to take charge, I don't know why everyone had enthusiasm, that is, after that, everyone conducted a large-scale survey of the old air-raid shelter and ancient roadway.

The other is that for the workers who disappeared in the laneway, Lao Zhao remembered that it was three, not the two that Lao Cai said, maybe it was too long, Lao Cai couldn't remember clearly, but Lao Zhao said firmly, there was also a fat man in the cooking class, who also disappeared in the cave, because this fat man practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was also a monk in the temple, so Lao Zhao was very impressed.

For what was in the alley that they closed back then, Lao Zhao was silent, and said that he came late, did not catch up with the search for the alley, and only went in once afterwards, and had no impression, but everyone in the construction team was spreading, saying that there were often people crying in the alley, and there would be ghost fires drifting, and the most troublesome thing was that he often hit the ghost wall, and after several incidents of missing workers, no one dared to go in, and then simply sealed the alley, but he didn't know more about the situation.

Therefore, a gentleman's strategy must be used in the way, but not necessarily seen and received, and if he can be loyal, he must believe, but he cannot necessarily enter, and he cannot necessarily see and believe. A gentleman is not a man, he does not say what he says, but does what he does. Therefore, those who are not right do yes, and those who are evil do good, and they do the word. --"The Mustache") (To be continued.) )
