Hu Sanqian, He Chenxue, and the three of them stood at the stone gate, and when they looked out, the first thing they saw was the stone gates on the opposite cave wall, each with a distance of nearly two meters.

The opposite one is exactly the same as the side they are on, there are five floors, each layer has a total of 20 stone gates from left to right, the overall height is about 20 meters, and the whole cave outside is rectangular in shape, and the general appearance is similar to some large prisons now, except that the appearance of those stone doors looks like grottoes, and by the light of the fire hanging on the torches around them, it seems that there are beds and other objects in them.

Hu Sanqian squatted there and looked down: "20 meters, it's too high, how many ropes do we have left?" ”

The torture technique looked at both sides, and replied at the same time: "There are three more, each 20 meters long, and you can only go down by connecting two of them together, but did you find it?" There are 100 stone gates on the left and right sides, and all of them should add up to 200, but among these 200, only the one we are in connects to the passage, and the others are like prison cells, and most importantly, it is completely impossible to see what dynasty built them. ”

He Chenxue immediately said: "There are so many of them, we haven't seen them one by one, how do we know that there are no passages for the others?" Maybe there are other passages? ”

Hu Sanqian looked up and down: "Miss He is right, we have no way to check them one by one, up and down the five floors, the height is 20 meters, almost as high as the sixth floor of an ordinary floor, and there is no platform on each floor, once the people who are locked in, in addition to the people who are locked up on the first or second floor, the people on the third, fourth, and fifth floors have to jump directly down, either dead or injured." ”

Torture tried to go out and look at the cell on his side: "Three thousand, you first connect the rope, and then find a way to fix it, put down the rope and go down to explore the way, I will find a way to go to the next cell to take a look and see what is inside." ”

After the torture technique said and buckled the tiger's claws, he asked Hu Sanqian to help him pull the safety rope, and then he slowly climbed over the holes on the surface of the cave wall on one side, and then said, "Okay, you can connect the rope first." ”

Torture said to turn on the headlamp, shining on the cell he was in, there is no doubt that this is indeed a cell, on the wall on one side is obviously someone with a stone to calculate the time mark, six vertical bars in the middle of a horizontal bar, indicating a week's time, torture roughly counted, the time recorded on it is a total of one year, one month and three days, that is to say, the person who is imprisoned here, living here for such a long time, maybe dead, maybe gone, but the possibility of death is greater, Because there was still a pile of rags of clothes around.

Torturer crouched down and rummaged through the pile of clothes, and from time to time he looked up at the bed on his right, which was made entirely of stone and integrated with the cell cave itself, and he knew that this bed had been deliberately hewn out of the cave at the same time as it was dug out, and the other cells around it should be the same.

However, whether it is the surrounding stone bed or the things left behind, there is nothing that makes people know when this place was built, and the pile of clothes in front of you is definitely not more than a hundred years, at most a few decades.

Finally, in the pile of clothes, he found a piece of cloth with the words "別區監獄" printed on it, he carefully lifted it, stared at the four traditional Chinese characters at the bottom of the extremely blurred Russian, and then said to the outside: "Sanqian, although I don't know when this place was built, I know what period of time people were imprisoned here before. ”

"What?" Hu Sanqian, who had connected the rope at the other end and was making a nail to the cave floor, asked.

"I found a rag with the words 'Prison of Other Districts' written on it, and I thought that if this cloth was complete, all the words on it would have read 'Prison of the North Manchurian Special Region', and this prison of the North Manchurian Special Region was renamed after the fall of Northeast China in 1932 and after the establishment of the puppet state of Manchukuo." The torturer carefully folded the cloth and put it in his pocket, "Tian Lianfeng told me that when Xing Renju was imprisoned in the Harbin Prison Daoli during the Puppet Manchurian period, I checked the Harbin City Chronicles and carefully studied the situation in this prison. ”

In 1901, that is, in the 27th year of Guangxu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Tsarist Russia promulgated the "Manchurian Judicial Regulations", thus absorbing the judicial power of the affiliated areas of the Eastern Railway, and set up Daoli Prison at No. 256 Daoli Chinese Street in Harbin, which was later the Central Street, which was attached to the Eastern Railway, covering an area of about 10,000 square meters.

The prison has a series of independent prison quarters such as men's, women's, and sick prisons, and can hold about 500 prisoners, with less than 50 prison staff, all of whom are Russians.

After 1920, the Nationalist Government took back the provisions of the extraterritorial jurisdiction of Russia and the "Interim Measures for the Restoration of the Judicial System of the Eastern Eastern Railway" formulated by the Ministry of Justice, and then the Harbin Police General Bureau took over the prison, and the Eastern Provincial Railway Escort Command sent soldiers to protect it, and most of the Russian staff of the former prison were retained.

In 1932, after the fall of Northeast China, the Harbin High Court of the puppet Manchukuo took over the prison again, and in July 1933, it was renamed the North Manchurian Special District Prison, retaining the original prison institutions, and retaining the main officials, most of whom were still Russians, with a warden supervised by the Japanese. Years later, in 1936, the prison was renamed the Harbin Prison Daoli Branch.

"After the establishment of the Harbin Daoli Sub-Prison, the Japanese strengthened the prison, because it not only held some former Russian felons, but also some Comintern spies, as well as people from the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and the prison guards and guards also sent additional manpower, and there was also a separate telephone line to contact the Japanese gendarmerie, and if an accident occurred, the gendarmerie could rush to the prison in a short time to suppress it. ”

He Chenxue listened to it on the other side: "But it can't be built by the Japanese, right?" They couldn't have dug down to a depth of 50 meters just to hold prisoners. ”

Xingshu shook his head: "Of course it can't be built by the Japanese, nor is it Russian, judging from the architectural style of Shimen alone, it should be Khitan." ”

Hu Sanqian subconsciously looked at the stone gate on his head: "Why do you say that." ”

The torture came out and stood in front of his stone door: "Before Yelu Abaoji built the Great Liao, they built palaces and castles and the like, all of which were presided over by the Han craftsmen they captured from the border, although a large number of Khitan craftsmen also followed and learned, but these things can not be learned in a while, so these stone doors look like brick structures, in fact, they are just carved with stone to make the appearance of bricks, you know, brick structure houses began to rise in the Tang Dynasty, The red brick firing technology of the Bohai Kingdom all comes from the Tang Dynasty, but on the brick firing pattern, the Bohai State continues the pattern of the Tang Dynasty, which is generally the dragon pattern, the human face pattern, the leaf vein pattern, etc., while the Khitan is different, from the royal family to the people who have the conditions to build brick houses, the brick patterns made are made of green ox and white horse, that is, the totem of the Khitan. ”

He Chenxue was stunned: "Isn't the totem of Khitan a wolf?" ”

Hu Sanqian immediately said: "It was a romance, and in the origin legend of the Khitan nation, a man riding a white horse and a woman riding a green ox met and combined, and finally gave birth to the Khitan nation, which is often called the Khitan Eight Divisions." ”

"Yes, the Khitan was not written at the earliest, just folk oral legends, this aspect is roughly recorded in the classics of the Han Dynasty, but it is not clear, but the earliest began to study Khitan culture is not our Chinese, but the Japanese, around 1930, a Japanese scholar named Tamura Minoru began to study Khitan culture." The torture technique looked at the so-called stone bricks on it, "There is a scenic spot in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia is the totem pole of the Khitan, which refers to ancestor worship, nature worship and hero worship respectively, among which there is absolutely no existence of wolves, you must know that the Khitan are nomadic people, for them, the biggest threat to them in the animal kingdom is the wolf." ”

He Chenxue looked at the unclear lines on the bricks at this time: "So, the carvings on it are all green cows and white horses?" ”

The torture technique is also looking at this end: "Yes, the green ox totem is used by the Khitan's original Dahe clan, Yaoran clan and Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji family's Shili clan, these three later all have the surname Yelu, and the use of white horses is the Yi Mur clan, the Bali clan and the Shulu clan, that is, the Khitan Xiao surname, although the queen of Yelu Abaoji Shu Luping did not change her surname Xiao, but her two younger brothers have changed, and the surname change is after Yelu Abaoji established the Great Liao, because of the worship of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, and Xiao He, the founding prime minister of the Han Dynasty. ”

(Note: Liao Dynasty, the royal surname of the Khitan family.) Khitan National Chronicles. The original family name said: "The Khitan tribe has no surname, but they are called by the names of the places where they live. After the founding of the country, the imperial family was surnamed in the birthplace of the founding emperor Yelu Abaoji, and the Khitan people of the original Dahe clan and Yaoran clan also took Yelu as their surname. According to the "New Five Generations. Khitan Biography: Abaoji "called the emperor, called himself the emperor king, and named his surname after the place where he lived, and said Shili." In the world, the translator called it Jerod. ”）

After tying the rope, Hu Sanqian tugged on the rope there, testing whether it was firm, and said at the same time: "Although the Khitan Eight Divisions are not accurate, there is also a saying that 'there is no Khitan outside the Eight Divisions', okay, we can go down." ”

Hu Sanqian said and slowly slid down the rope first, while He Chenxue said at the other end: "So, this cave was made by the Khitan in the past?" ”

"Judging from the clues we have now, it is very likely." Xingshu looked around, and then stared at the other side, "But we still need to check more, but it is certain that this cave was later discovered during the puppet Manchukuo period, plus the secret door of the Japanese tunnel we saw before, it can basically be inferred that maybe they found this cell and used it first, and then when digging the tunnel, they found the deep well stone pillars, but because the door was not opened, the two were not connected." ”

Hu Sanqian, who was halfway through, shouted towards it: "After I go down first, make sure there is no problem, there is no mechanism, you can come down again." ”

The torturer answered, but instead of going back immediately, he squatted in the corner and began to grope around.

He Chenxue saw that he hadn't come back yet, so she asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Find out if there's a secret grid or something." "In the past, in these prisons, many of the cells had hidden compartments made by the prisoners themselves, hiding some important things, and most of them were ...... Pregnant! ”

Before he finished speaking, he touched the position near the right side of the stone bed, and there was a loose place, so he immediately squatted down and blew away the dust, and used a knife to get out the dust and gravel in the loose stone inside, and then used the blade to "end" it out.

"Sure enough, there is a dark grid, it seems that the prisoners here slowly chiseled out the cave wall with sharp weapons, and then found other stones to fill in it, and then filled the gap with dust." As he spoke, he took out the leather shell, carefully brushed the dust off it, and immediately said after turning the first page, "Chenxue, how is your Russian?" ”

He Chenxue asked rhetorically: "Why do you ask this?" ”

The torturer stuffed the leather shell into his bag, quickly returned to the stone door next to him, and then handed the leather shell to He Chenxue: "It should be all Russian, I have learned a little bit before, and I basically forgot all about it, I only remember some daily words." ”

He Chenxue took it over and said, "I'll take a look." ”

He Chenxue looked at it for a while and said, "It's basically Russian, but there are a lot of Ukrainian mixed in it." ”

"Ukrainian?" The torture technique is a little puzzled.

He Chenxue looked at the first page: "There is a certain difference, let's put it this way, it seems to be the difference between Mandarin and Sichuan, understand?" ”

Xingshu nodded: "That is, he still writes in dialects?" ”

He Chenxue watched there, and heard Hu Sanqian shouting below: "I'm below, you guys wait first, I'll check the surrounding environment to determine if it's safe." ”

"Good!" Torture Shu shouted below, and said, "You take your time first, and then you should rest." ”

He Chenxue nodded, leaned on the side and carefully looked at the leather shell diary, and the torture technique was also drinking water on the side, thinking that maybe this would be the end here, and then he was looking forward to Fu Mingwei's side to completely figure things out.

At this time, Ding Wei has been "invited" by Fu Mingwei to the interrogation room of the criminal police team, and while questioning, he is waiting for the approval of the procuratorate, but Ding Wei was arrested This is a sure fact, because the Russian side reported that a large number of genuine oil paintings were found in the container truck, and the Interpol side also acted jointly with the Russian local police to quickly arrest the Russian receiver, as of this time, the Russian side has arrested a total of 36 people involved in the case, and the follow-up work is still ongoing. It is speculated that this criminal organization has links to Russian gangs and is expected to meet with armed resistance, which has already brought the Russian special police to intervene.

Fu Mingwei stood in the corner, looked at Ding Wei, who was sitting silently behind the desk, raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said: "It's been almost forty minutes since you came in, and you haven't said a word, even if you are dumb and silent, you will still go to prison, you are suspected of theft, money laundering, smuggling, organized crime and other crimes, normally speaking, your home for the rest of your life will be in prison." ”

After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he walked over slowly, put the watch on the table, and pushed it in front of Ding Wei's eyes: "I know that your husband and wife have a good relationship, from my personal point of view, I think your wife Wang Yulan should not know about this matter, but if you don't say it, with the available evidence, she will also be convicted, at least for the crime of covering up." ”

Ding Wei just looked at the watch, still didn't say a word, Fu Mingwei got up and opened the door and went out, and said to Dong Guozhi at the door: "Take someone in and search again, and then you bring two people in to stare at him, I'm afraid he will commit suicide." ”

"Understood." Dong Guozhi nodded, waved his hand and asked a colleague to follow him in, while Fu Mingwei went straight to the next room and asked the criminal policeman who was making notes inside to go out, and sat there by himself, looking at Wang Yulan opposite.

Wang Yulan's face was sluggish, and Fu Mingwei saw that all the words on the transcript could basically be condensed into one sentence, that is, Wang Yulan didn't know everything Ding Wei did, although Fu Mingwei also wanted to think so, but some details made him feel that Wang Yulan was hiding something.

"There are some routines that I don't want to use, I don't think it's useful to use them against you, so I'll be direct, to tell you the truth, your husband doesn't say anything, and you say that you don't know, so it won't do you two any good." Fu Mingwei put down the notebook, "Orphanages and schools can't be without principals for a day, right?" And once this matter is exposed by the media, the orphanage and the school are finished, and in the end it is those poor children who will suffer, even if you don't want to do anything, you have to think about them, think about your original intention of running an orphanage and a school. ”

Wang Yulan's eyes were still dull, and Fu Mingwei took a deep breath: "Let me start, what happened in the school's studio many years ago, that is, when Pan Feng was in his third year of high school?" It must be important, or terrible, so terrible that you're going to redecorate the whole studio, and I'll give you five minutes to think about it. ”

After speaking, Fu Mingwei got up and left, letting people stare at Wang Yulan, and walked to the third interrogation room, sat down in front of Qi Baye, whose wrists were still bandaged, and handed over a cigarette.

Qi Baye looked up at Fu Mingwei slightly, then took the cigarette and lit it, and didn't say a word.

"Qi Baye, I only have one thing to tell you, Pan Feng was caught, Pan Feng confessed that you were not the mastermind, everything was instigated by Ding Wei, that is, the vice principal of the Yulan Orphanage and the special school, and the use of imitations to smuggle genuine products was also exposed, and basically all the people on the Russian side were arrested." After Fu Mingwei finished saying this fishing lie and left, Qi Baye immediately stood up and grabbed Fu Mingwei, Fu Mingwei felt his hands trembling.

Qi Baye's face was pale, and he grabbed Fu Mingwei tightly and said, "Pan Feng said that Ding Wei instructed him?" ”

"Yes, but he also admitted what happened back then, that is, the whole thing has nothing to do with you, but you are still guilty." After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he made a gesture to take away Qi Baye's hand, but he didn't expect Qi Baye to grasp it tighter, and then knelt down directly.

Qi Baye knelt on the ground, looked up at Fu Mingwei, his eyes were full of tears: "I did it, I did it, it has nothing to do with Pan Feng, it has nothing to do with that child, it's none of his business, it's really me, you believe me, you believe me!" I'm damned, I should have been shot! ”

Fu Mingwei lifted Qi Baye up, pressed him on the stool and said: "Qi Baye, your confession has too many loopholes, I know you want to protect Pan Feng, but it's useless, you will only harm him, and he has already told the matter of the special school studio back then!" ”

After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he stared at Qi Baye's eyes, and he speculated that this person who had always wanted to take the blame on himself had more than sixty percent of the possibility that he also knew what happened in that studio back then, and Qi Baye was the only best breakthrough right now.
