Chapter 42: Underwater Terror
Liu Dongsheng also said: "Yes, I'm also worried about this problem, once our actions are known by Zhang Zhengguo tonight, it will not be a matter of making him shrink, Zhang Zhengguo is likely to destroy a piece of evidence against him, you must know that this account alone will not cure him of much crime." “
In fact, Qin Xiao was not worried about being discovered, because he always paid attention to the hydrology of the Daixi River, and noticed that the river surface had frozen, but the center of a large area of water was normal due to the fast current, and this situation did not hinder their condition when diving underwater, and when they were close to the shore, there would be ice as cover, which could be said to be a godsend. Qin Xiao told Liu Dongsheng about the situation, and Liu Dongsheng was also very happy in his heart.
The two waited for nightfall, double-checked their gear, anticipated any situation they might encounter, and waited until late at night before setting off.
In Hedong Village in winter, at night, I go to bed early, only some people's dogs occasionally bark because of a little noise, and the rest is just quiet. Liu Dongsheng and Qin Xiao looked at their watches, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, they had been squatting in the dry grass cave south of the river for a whole hour, there was ice ballast floating on the riverside that had begun to freeze, and the center of the river could still be followed by the faint light of the medicinal herb acquisition center opposite to see the sparkling river, although it was not a full moon day, but it was bright enough, so there were not many stars around, and the moonlight shone on the entire Daixi River, which added to the chill.
At this time, there is still water in the Daixi River, there are basically only a few places in the entire riverbed, because it is not far downstream of the Mazhuang Reservoir, and the terrain is low, so even in winter, a lot of water is still stored, but in fact, Liu Dongsheng and Qin Xiao are still very close to the straight-line distance from the medicinal material acquisition center, about fifty or sixty meters away, to be honest, a sneeze will attract the attention of the other side. So the two were extra careful. The distant mountains to the south were just an outline of a dark shadow, Qin Xiao and Liu Dongsheng were between the mountains and the water, and this night it looked like a dark area watching the entire medicinal herb acquisition market. Suddenly, the lights on the upper floor went out. Liu Dongsheng remembered that it was the dormitory of Zhao Yongqin and the dead Wen Zhiqiang, and he also found out that Feng Dan had been transferred back to work in the county headquarters by Zhang Zhengguo, so the medicinal herb acquisition center was closed in winter. There shouldn't be a lot of guards. But if Zhang Zhengguo had any unsavory secrets, then he might send more people, but he never dreamed that Liu Dongsheng and Qin Xiao would probe from the water.
Qin Xiao was a little frozen and wanted to smoke a cigarette, but he still held back, after all, he knew that on such a night, the brightness of a cigarette butt would also expose itself far away, so he and Liu Dongsheng continued to lurk on the other side of the river and watch the movement over there.
Finally another hour. Qin Xiao said to Liu Dongsheng in a solemn whisper: "Platoon commander, we can probably act now, but I took a look at the situation, we should have no problem going down, but we can't use lighting equipment, we can only grope for the past, in addition, keep good communication, if there is anything abnormal, retreat immediately." ”
Liu Dongsheng agreed. So the two of them warmed up in the dark for a while, and then carefully put on the diving suit, tested the communication equipment, and saw that there was no problem. The two of them set off.
When they got underwater, the two realized that their estimation of the water temperature was too optimistic, but fortunately they had done this kind of anti-temperature training before, so this was not a big deal, and the two chatted with each other to keep in touch, and then slowly touched the underwater.
Due to the inability to use lighting equipment. So it took more than ten minutes for the two of them to get to the opposite side, but when Qin Xiao looked up at the sleeping ice ballast, he knew that he was already close to the shore, so he didn't dare to slack off, and carefully groped to find the building in the acquisition of Zhang Zhengguo's medicinal materials, and reported the location to Liu Dongsheng.
However, since Liu Dongsheng was familiar with the internal structure of this medicinal herb acquisition center, he quickly found the location of the cleaning pool and notified Qin Xiao to come over quickly. After Qin Xiao groped closer, the two of them looked for the underwater secret door according to Master Wang's description, Liu Dongsheng found the specific location according to his memory, and then touched the inner wall of the cleaning pool close to the bottom of the pool with his hand, and sure enough, he touched a metal secret door, so he hurriedly grabbed Qin Xiao's hand and asked him to come and touch it, after Qin Xiao touched it, he then touched the entire door in a clockwise direction and measured the size of the answer.
Liu Dongsheng knew that the goal had been achieved, so he said: "Qin Xiao, it's time to go, we have achieved our goal." ”
Qin Xiao replied, "Got it, come over immediately." ”
Zhang Zhengguo was pacing back and forth in his room, he knew that success or failure was here, so it was difficult to sleep so late at night, so he simply got up from the bed and lit a cigarette, thinking about the whole thing these days, and what was missing.
Zhang Haojian has to be on night duty tonight, so only Zhang Zhengguo is at home, so he put on his coat and came to the balcony when he had nothing to do, and when he saw the moonlight like water, he couldn't help but sigh, if he sold this batch of goods this time, and then connected with overseas partners, then he could make a comeback in the future, and even Qin Xiao and Luo Chuan were not opponents. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhengguo couldn't help but feel a little lost, he felt that if he defeated Qin Xiao like this, he didn't know if he would be complacent or bored? Thinking that he is in his fifties, and his son Zhang Haojian has also grown up, not only physically, but also psychologically has become a lot more mature, but I don't know what is going on with He Jing, and I don't know how to help as a father. Wait, He Jing?
At this time, Zhang Zhengguo's mind suddenly remembered the scene when he met He Jing when he returned to the office building of Zhang's Group that day, and he recalled He Jing's confused eyes at that time, and couldn't help but gasp. He thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, from how he met He Jing, to what He Jing said to him, and then when he got upstairs, the computer was open, and the office door was open, and he suddenly felt a wave of fear in his heart, right? It's impossible, she hasn't entered her room at all, Xiao Pan can testify to this, no, He Jing's appearance was too sudden, without warning, without warning, and she just negotiated this business, and as soon as the funds were in place, she came!
Zhang Zhengguo didn't dare to think about it at this time, quickly put on his clothes, went out and started the car and headed towards the medicinal herb acquisition center in Daixi River.
"Where are you now? I have urgent matters to attend to right now. Hurry up and gather your men and go to the Herb Acquisition Center!" ……”
"Boss, didn't you say it was late? How did it get ahead? The other person on the phone asked puzzled.
Zhang Zhengguo said: "Don't worry about it, I'll adjust it temporarily." It's just to prevent anyone from knowing about it and then coming to a pot of stew, so you now gather all the first twenty or so people, as many as you can, give you half an hour to get there, and I will act in advance. Do you understand? ”
The other side of the phone didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Understood, I'll do it!" ”
In fact, although these 20 or so security guards are security guards, they are actually Zhang Zhengguo's own bodyguards and thugs, and they are all people who have been carefully selected by him over the years and dare to sell their lives to themselves.
Zhang Zhengguo drove the car and ran all the way directly to the acquisition center by the river, and Zhao Yongqin received a call from Zhang Zhengguo in the car ten minutes ago. So I have been waiting at the door with Manager Huang, and there are five other henchmen following behind. Zhang Zhengguo entered the courtyard, got out of the car and said:
"The plan has changed, it must be delivered tonight, Yongqin, this time you are out of the car, are you ready?"
Zhao Yongqin didn't know why the boss suddenly changed his hexagram, so he said, "Are we going to inform Mr. Qin about this?" ”
Zhang Zhengguo said: "No, let's start first, even if you listen to me on the road for a night." But the goods must not be stored here, Qin Chi's guy we can explain to him later, understand? ”
Zhao Yongqin and Manager Huang didn't dare to ask more, and Zhao Yongqin replied: "The car has been prepared for a long time." The one in the yard is, I plan to put boxes of concocted medicinal materials in it, as long as we sandwich our goods in the middle, I guess no one will find out. ”
Zhang Zhengguo nodded with satisfaction, and after about ten minutes, more than two dozen security guards also arrived in their respective cars. So Zhang Zhengguo instructed everyone to quickly move the boxes of medicinal materials out of the warehouse, prepare to load them, and then took Zhao Yongqin to the back cleaning pool.
At this time, Zhao Yongqin turned on the lights behind him, and suddenly the entire cleaning pool lit up, and Zhang Zhengguo immediately said angrily:
"You've got water in your head? Turn the lights off! ”
Only then did Zhao Yongqin understand that this was not going to medicinal herbs, so he immediately turned off the light again.
At this time, Liu Dongsheng and Qin Xiao had just finished checking the secret door and were about to leave, but fortunately they were under the ice ballast just now, so no one in Zhang Zhengguo paid attention, so Liu Dongsheng hurriedly swung his flippers and dived into the deep water. Since Liu Dongsheng was about to leave, half of his body had already entered the deep water, so he took advantage of Zhang Zhengguo's chaos of arguing to turn off the lights, and left, but Qin Xiao had just finished measuring the size of the water gate, and half of his body was still in the pool.
When the pool is not in use, the south gate will be opened after the shutdown to figure it out with the outside world, but because it is winter, the flow of the river is reduced, so the forehead in the pool is very shallow, Qin Xiao heard the voices and angry scolding of Zhang Zhengguo and others above his head, he knew that in such shallow waters, he could not make a big move and turn away, which would alarm the people over there, so he slowly touched the pool wall, wanting to turn around and leave with his strength.
At this moment, suddenly a leg stretched out from the edge of the pool into the water, in fact, this was Zhao Yongqin after putting on a waterproof suit, and was about to go down to the pool to get the key to open the secret door and take out things, but thinking that Qin Xiao was touching the pool wall at this time and turned around, Zhao Yongqin's leg suddenly touched Qin Xiao's arm. Qin Xiao didn't have time to think about it at this time, he understood that the other party must have seen him, so he deliberately pretended not to know, and went into the water to catch his hand, so he didn't say a word, grabbed Zhao Yongqin's calf, and pulled it hard, Zhao Yongqin's second foot had not yet entered the water at this time, and one stood unsteadily, and his huge body fell into the water.
Zhao Yongqin had already felt a foreign object when he entered the water with one leg, he thought it was a branch or something, so he didn't care, but this branch-like foreign object actually grabbed his ankle and put him down, he was shocked, and shouted when he fell into the water:
"Help, ghost, ghost! ……”
Zhang Zhengguo was shocked, so he immediately ran to the switch by the pool to turn on the light, and looked carefully at the place where Zhao Yongqin fell. - What kind of water ghost is this, it's clearly a person!
Zhang Zhengguo was shocked, so he hurriedly looked at the five of us on the left and right, and said: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and catch the person in the water for me, and I can't let him go if I die!" ”
The person next to him heard that he could kill people, so he immediately took out his gun, and was about to shoot beyond Qin Xiao, Zhang Zhengguo said angrily: "You can't shoot, in such a big wilderness, there is a person who hears the gunshot, we all have to finish playing, and we will all go into the water to catch him!" ”
Several people got the order and jumped into the pool water with a plop, but Qin Xiao was also in a cold sweat, he knew that if the other party shot at that time, his little life would be over, but fortunately Zhang Zhengguo didn't do it.
In fact, Zhang Zhengguo didn't know that this person was Qin Xiao, if he knew, he would dare to risk being heard to shoot him. Gossip aside, Qin Xiao didn't need to rely on the pool wall to turn around and leave at this time, just turned back one hundred and eighty degrees in the water, adjusted the direction, and then dived into the deep water with a fish jump.
Zhang Zhengguo realized that the other party was carrying diving equipment, not from some shore, and at this time it was too late for him to think about shooting, so he immediately ordered Manager Huang next to him on the shore:
"You quickly get the security guards in the front yard to come over and surround the whole body of water, I'm going to catch him and kill him, but I can't let her out alive! Do you understand? ”
Manager Huang left in response, and after a while, more than 20 people hurriedly ran over, under the command of the leading security guard, divided into two teams, and searched along the entire body of water.
Because the Daixi River is in the dry season in winter, the water has actually been cut off, so although the water area next to this medicinal herb acquisition center is very large, after all, it is only a stagnant water for the time being, and there is no way to escape, Zhang Zhengguo understands this, so he asked these two dozen people, including Zhao Yongqin and his men, to patrol back and forth, and they have to find this person who came to cause trouble.
Zhang Zhengguo's brain was also spinning rapidly at this time, who is this person? Qin Chi? It can't be, he can't have this diving equipment; The police? It's impossible, he may know his accounts because of He Jing, but he will definitely not know his water gate; Or someone else? He couldn't be sure who it was, so he simply didn't think about it, and when he caught it, he would see. (To be continued.) )
