Chapter 35: A Secret Hidden Underground
readx;
The entrance to the basement is inside the cabin, and a spiral staircase leads to a chamber located about twenty meters below the surface. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The space of the secret room is very large, and the amount of work is very impressive from the steel frame supporting structure, as well as the concrete walls and ceilings, unlike the later excavations, which may have been built together with the villa, otherwise the thousands of cubic meters of earth and stone excavated would not have been able to handle it.
"It's all here, you take your time. There are some personal belongings next door, so you can take them if you need them. ”
"How long has he been here?" Liu Wei could see at a glance that this was Liu Xiuhui's place of work and life.
Long Minjiang thought for a while and said, "Your father only comes here once in a while, and each time he stays for less than half a month, and it doesn't add up to half a year. ”
Liu Wei casually flipped through a document on the desk.
"Look slowly, I'll call you again when you're eating."
Waiting for Long Minjiang to go out, Liu Wei began to tidy up.
The room was messy, full of books and documents, and some newspaper clippings. The father and son are very similar, they are very casual, and in the eyes of others, they just haven't cleaned up.
After cleaning up the room, Liu Wei sat down.
Long Minjiang is indeed an intelligence agent developed by Liu Xiuhui, and in the past ten years, Liu Xiuhui has also established a large-scale spy network among Chinese gangs with him as the center.
In this sense, Long Minjiang is Liu Xiuhui's "intelligence head".
When Liu Xiuhui was not in the United States, Long Minjiang was responsible for collecting intelligence. For more than a decade, he did only one thing: to track down the "Future Soldier" program.
The two of them worked far more this than Liu Wei and the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Initially, Liu Xiuhui's idea was the same as Liu Wei's, that the "Future Soldier" experimental base was in an inaccessible desert, and most of the manpower was placed here. This villa was built for the Longmin River precisely to facilitate the search operation. After more than 10 years of continuous surveillance and search, Liu Xiuhui basically concluded that the experimental base was not in the Midwest of the United States, and there were only some facilities related to the experiment at most.
As for where the experimental base is, Liu Xiuhui didn't figure it out.
In the information left behind, Liu Xiuhui only mentioned that the West Coast region bordering the Pacific Ocean can be basically excluded, focusing on the Gulf Coast and the Northeast region.
As for why the focus is on these two regions, Liu Xiuhui did not give a clear explanation.
Obviously, when doing these analyses, Liu Xiuhui did not think of handing over the baton to Liu Wei, so there was no need to make a detailed explanation in the document.
It wasn't until the last year that Liu Xiuhui set out to investigate something related to Liu Wei.
In other words, Liu Xiuhui knew about Liu Wei before he was ambushed in Afghanistan and fled back to China, and used his own intelligence resources to investigate.
The results of the investigation are similar to what Liu Wei knows, and the clue ends in Xiong Hanwen.
If you can't find him, you can't track him down.
It's just that Liu Xiuhui thinks that Xiong Hanwen is dead, and the reason is very simple: this matter is related to the CIA, in order to mislead the mainland intelligence agencies, the CIA will definitely secretly dispose of Xiong Hanwen, who defected, and let the mainland intelligence agencies continue to look for him, instead of looking for other clues.
According to this judgment, Liu Xiuhui has long paid attention to that batch of gold.
Like Liu Wei's judgment a few days ago, Liu Xiuhui believes that the Yankees did not bring back the stolen gold, but transferred it to a major gold-producing country, and the American companies that mined gold there falsely reported the amount of gold mined, laundered the stolen gold, and finally shipped it back to the United States through legal channels or sold it on the international market.
The difference is that Liu Xiuhui made this judgment a few months ago.
Following this clue, Liu Xiuhui soon had a new harvest. Over the past three years, much more gold has been mined from South Africa into the international market than the South African authorities have announced.
Until 2009, South Africa was the world's largest gold producer and the world's largest gold exporter.
The problem lies in the tens of tonnes of gold that are added every year.
Although the absolute difference is not significant, the gold mined in South Africa does not fully enter the international market and is partly deposited in the treasury as hard currency. Add this together, and in the last three years, nearly 400 tonnes more than normal gold has flowed from South Africa into the international market.
Is four hundred tons of gold a lot?
The answer is clearly no!
In 2010, the mainland surpassed South Africa to become the world's largest gold producer, with an output of just over 600 tons.
In other words, the additional inflow of gold from South Africa into the international market in three years is almost a third of what is normal, and the origin of this gold is very suspicious.
One of the most important clues that Liu Xiuhui found was not in the United States, but in Britain on the other side of the Atlantic.
Vickers Nonferrous Metals Exploration and Mining Company, which contracted the Tobik gold mine, has been mining far more gold than normal in the past three years, and the boss behind this British company is the Yankees, to be precise, the American consortium represented by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, etc.
According to Liu Xiuhui's judgment, the Yankees transported the gold solution to South Africa or the United Kingdom, and the "Vickers Company" falsely reported the amount of gold mined, and the refined gold was sold on the international market, and the proceeds from the sale were eventually remitted to the Bank of America by the "Vickers Company" in the name of entrusted investment.
There is no point in investigating the "Wickers Company", because this enterprise is completely legitimate.
The key is to find those golden solutions.
Liu Xiuhui provided two clues, one is South Africa and the other is the United Kingdom.
Although there are problems with customs declaration and other problems in transporting gold out of South Africa, the South African authorities are [***] serious, and it is not difficult to buy off customs officials. If the gold solution is shipped to the UK and refined in the UK, there is a problem of emitting toxic substances, which may cause trouble.
Liu Xiuhui believes that the gold solution is likely to be in South Africa.
It's a pity that the Yankees have already taken the lead, and even if they can find it, the gain is not very great. Considering the huge risk of transporting the toxic solution, Liu Xiuhui did not advise Liu Wei to take the idea of the batch of gold, at least there was no need to go to South Africa to steal the gold solution.
Because Liu Xiuhui didn't know that Liu Wei was short of money, the investigation into the matter ended here.
Among the materials left by Liu Xiuhui, there is another item that has attracted Liu Wei's attention, that is, the video material that Liu Xiuhui sneaked into the Nelly Air Force Base and filmed.
Videos are blurry and often shaky, and the camera mounting angle changes frequently.
It can be seen that it is not easy to enter the Nelly airbase, and it is even more difficult to get out of it.
Liu Wei is not interested in these, but some of the pictures inside.
Liu Xiuhui clearly mentioned in his later introduction that Nelly Air Force Base is not the "51st Area", and there are no alien corpses or alien aircraft in it, but only a biochemical experiment base, which stores the materials of secret biochemical experiments conducted by the United States before and after World War II, as well as some experimental specimens. In addition, after the end of World War II, the relevant materials obtained by the United States from defeated countries such as Japan and Germany are also stored here.
Because the United States conducted a large number of biochemical experiments during World War II, and even used living people for experiments, the materials and experimental specimens stored in the base can be regarded as the biggest scandal since the founding of the United States, so the degree of secrecy of the Nelly Air Force Base is very high, and even a radius of dozens of kilometers of the air base is set as a no-fly zone.
As for the legendary alien corpses, it is quite possible that they were those experimental specimens.
As can be seen from the video footage, there are at least dozens of relatively complete corpse specimens, and most of them are Orientals. During World War II, the United States imprisoned more than 200,000 immigrants and tens of thousands of people died in concentration camps, and some of them were used for [***] experiments, which is not a strange thing.
It is conceivable that if the contents of the base are exposed, the international reputation of the United States will be greatly affected.
It's a pity that Liu Xiuhui did not mention how he entered Nelly Air Force Base, nor how he got out of it.
After flipping through the information, Liu Wei entered the next room.
It was a bedroom, and at least the mattress on the floor proved that it had once been a bedroom. Like the workshop outside, it was very messy and there was no place for people to put their feet down.
Liu Wei took a moment to tidy up the room.
When sorting out Liu Xiuhui's personal belongings, Liu Wei found a yellowed photo. It is a black-and-white photograph of Liu Xiuhui and his wife with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. Liu Wei had never seen the photo, but he knew that the young woman in the photo was his mother.
After entering K1, Liu Wei never saw his mother again, and his memory of his mother is still stuck at the age of three years and eight months. He remembered that when his father took him out of the house, his mother desperately chased after him until he was left behind by his father and could not be seen.
The appearance of his mother was very vague in Liu Wei's mind.
Seeing this photo, Liu Wei believed that he did look like his mother, not his father. Unlike his imaginary mother, the woman in the photo is clearly a peasant woman, dressed in coarse cloth, with two large braids, big hands and feet, and a mouth wide open when she laughs.
Looking at the photo, Liu Wei laughed, but the smile was a little bitter.
"Hmph...... Hmph......"
Hearing the sound, Liu Wei realized that the Long Min River had come down again.
"Dinner is ready, will we go and eat together?"
"This photo ......"
"It's your dad's, take it if you want." Long Minjiang smiled and said, "But it's best to make a photocopy, your father only kept this photo and never wanted to throw it away." ”
"No other photos?"
Long Minjiang nodded and said, "Originally, this photo should have been burned, but he hid it." ”
Liu Wei smiled bitterly, who can believe that Liu Xiuhui is a man with a family concept?
"Let's go, go up to dinner, I'll find someone to make a few photocopies for you."
Liu Wei walked over, handed the photo to Long Minjiang, and then followed him out of the secret room.
Dinner is very simple, it can be regarded as coarse tea and light rice. Liu Wei also found that there were few meat dishes, and Long Minjiang only ate vegetarian dishes.
"After the catastrophe, I changed to a vegetarian diet. Leave me alone, eat as much as you want. If the dishes are not enough, I will ask someone to fry a few more. ”
"Enough, I haven't been a vegetarian in a long time."
At this time, Liu Wei's mobile phone rang. Situ Wenhui called, Liu Xiuhui's diplomatic plane has taken off from San Francisco International Airport and will arrive in Shanghai in more than 10 hours, and then will transfer to a flight to Zurich, and it is expected that Yuan Changqing will be seen at this time tomorrow.
At this point, Liu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
