Chapter 657: Hard work pays off

The dockyard collapsed in the summer, but it was not repaired until the winter...... After the Japanese left, the original boss kept looking for a way to get the official to pay a little compensation, and it was delayed until after the beginning of winter...... It seems that the construction started until New Year's Day, but the dock was not repaired, and the embankment was built directly...... Probably, it took about a month......" the squad leader replied.

Last year was a warm winter, and there was no ice when the New Year was approaching, but it was warmer in December, and the construction was absolutely fine.

When the embankment was repaired, the Japanese who were repairing the vault on the Lion Rock were frightened away, and not long after the embankment was repaired, the Xinji Trading Company was cashed out, stopped selling building materials, and began to buy rice and grain......

Fang Buwei secretly sneered.

How can there be such a coincidence?

"Where is the Tiger's Mouth Dock?" Fang Buwei asked again.

"Right in the Tiger's Mouth......"

Can't you just mention a place name that I know?

There is no name for the tiger's mouth on the map.

How big a dock can be, I don't know where I remember such a small place.

Tiger's mouth?

Fang Buwei's heart moved, and asked the squad leader: "Are you talking about the mouth of the pincers, or the mouth of the tiger?" ”

"Oh...... Yes, there are also people who call it a tiger's mouth! The squad leader replied.

When it comes to the mouth of the pincers and the mouth of the tiger, Fang Buwei will know.

Later, the Water Branch of the Nanjing Municipal Public Security Bureau set up a cantonment point here, also known as the Marine Police Rescue Team.

A hundred meters further north is the Xiaguan Police Station.

Fang Buwei was here when he went to Nanjing to investigate the case.

There was a large reef between the police station and the water rescue team that jutted into the river, but it was concave in the middle, like a huge pair of pincers with its mouth open, so it was named after the mouth of the pincers.

When the river flows here, it will roll up a huge whirlpool, and the undercurrent will surge underneath, and the smaller boats will not be able to get out if they go here.

The Marine Police Rescue Team is also located here for this purpose.

But after wearing it, Fang Buwei had never been to this area, and he didn't know that it was not a reef now, but a part of the river embankment.

After thinking about the founding of the People's Republic of China, the prominent piece was blown up, but it was not blown up.

Since the dockyard has been repaired, the notch will not be shallow, and the watchtower will not be able to see what is going on.

If the steamer comes to deliver food and stops at the tiger's mouth, no one will notice at all.

It turns out that a dock was once built here, and it was bombed by the Japanese with naval guns?

Fang Buwei realized that his own inference was not wrong.

Did the Japanese blow up this cannon on purpose?

Probably not.

At that time, the Japanese did not know about the currency reform plan.

It may be that after the repair vault on Lion Rock was startled by water bandits, the Japanese happened to find out here, and maybe they even bought off the owner of the Hukou dockyard.

The Japanese actually built secret passages and secret rooms under the embankment?

Even Fang Buwei didn't expect it.

If there is really a vault, it can only be here in the tiger's mouth, otherwise there will not be so many clues pointing here.

"Thank you!" Fang Buwei patted the squad leader on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "I asked you today, please don't leak it out!" ”

"Don't worry, sir, we all understand!" The squad leader replied.

Fang Buwei's position on the certificate he presented before was that he was a staff officer of the special service battalion directly under the gendarmerie headquarters, and he was both a military police officer and a special agent, and the squad leader knew the nature without common sense.

The driver and the team member hadn't come back yet, but they were almost there, so Fang Buwei wanted to take the opportunity to explore alone.

The remaining team members wanted to follow out, but Fang Buwei went back.

After crossing the river bridge, Fang Buwei showed his documents to the soldiers guarding the embankment, and went directly down the embankment and stood by the river.

The river water in the coal port section is quite deep, and it is nearly 40 meters in dry seasons, so the embankment is very high from the water surface, and in order to save costs, the slope of the wall is very large, at least more than 60 degrees.

Ordinary people can't stand, but they don't do it, but they are walking on the ground.

He walked down the embankment, walked about a mile, and saw the mouth of the pincers.

Fang Buwei slowed down his pace and slowly walked into this and that notch.

The sides protrude outward, the middle is inverted, and it is still very deep, like a vise with an open mouth.

Fang Buwei raised his eyes and glanced at the soldiers guarding the river embankment.

Some sat on the ground and went undercover, and some got together in twos and threes to smoke and brag, but fortunately, there was no off-duty or drinking.

I've been in vigil for two days and three nights, and it's good to still have this mental state.

The gendarmes sat on top of their heads, and no matter how bold the Japanese were, they would not climb out to check, and they were probably all hiding in their holes.

Both the gendarmes and the Japanese saw that Fang Buwei was under the embankment wall.

Fang Buwei took off his clothes and quietly went down the river.

The river water in the mouth of the tongs is indeed very urgent, but it is not good to stand it.

He clasped the edges of the wall, only exposing the water above his nose, and looked forward little by little.

Halfway through the swim, Fang Buwei's knee suddenly hit a hard object, like a wall.

It's not an embankment, the one it hit is protruding, and it's still moving.

Fang Buwei touched it with his hand and touched a stone, and there was a tomb and a horn.

Square?

It's a stone brick.

When I touched it further, it was not a piece, but a piece of it, like a staircase.

Fang Buwei dived down, touched it for a while, and found that the stone bricks were not built, but were circled with steel bars, and they were buckled together one by one, and the top one was about half a meter from the water surface.

The Japanese made a staircase out of stone bricks in the water!

Fang Buwei thought of the stone bricks that were pulled away by boat when the stone brick factory was relocated.

At that time, when the dock was converted into an embankment, it was a dry season and the water level was shallow, so the Japanese made these stone bricks with steel bars to be used as a stepping foot during the flood season.

As soon as the water level is high, you can go up again, and when the water level is shallow, you can remove a few layers from the top.

At all times, the steps are below the bottom.

Moreover, the terrain here is narrow, the water is turbulent, and there is an undercurrent below, so ordinary boats will not drive in and hit the wall without trouble.

No one came in, so who could find out?

Fang Buwei slowly pressed his ear to the stone wall.

There was a snoring sound in there?

Got it!

In order to find the vault, he didn't know how much effort he put into it, and he even wavered in the middle.

In the past few months, Yoshiaki, Oda, Nakamura, Yamada, and Konoe Masao have not mentioned the vault, and Fang Buwei even wonders if Zhao Jinshan is mistaken.

Hard work pays off!

It's never too late to be happy when it's over, find the entrance first.

Fang Buwei breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the stone steps, and surfaced slightly, touching inch by inch.

Not on it?

Not above, that can only be below the water's surface.

Fang Buwei slowly dived down, and on the right side of the first stone brick, he felt a gap.

The exit turned out to be underwater.

Fang Buwei touched it once, and he knew it in his heart.

It is a whole plank, about half a meter above the surface of the water, people want to enter and exit, push the plank, hold a breath, and get out in two or three seconds.

The design is clever enough. ntent
