"Okay, I'll admit that I used to be a thug in Factory 3, but that was almost 10 years ago, when I was young and frivolous, but I was definitely not involved in buying and selling contraband...... Later, the 3rd factory changed, and I went to the North Road Crossing to make a living on my own; The reason why I didn't go back was because I had caused a lot of enemies in the western suburbs at that time...... Officer, don't say I didn't remind you, they even have submachine guns in their hands, and each of them has 2-30 subordinates in their hands, all of them are vicious drug dealers, there are only 3 of you, and there is no follow-up support, if you venture into the western suburbs, maybe you will go and never return......"

The man in the vest asked Liang Yi for a cigarette and spit out everything he knew and thought.

"There are these gangs of the underworld nature, why don't the police in Beidaokou take care of them?" Xu Zhe asked.

The man in the vest said: "Then you have to manage it, the population in the western suburbs is very complicated, some people don't even have ID cards, maybe they spend the night here today, and they will disappear tomorrow, or they are still alive today, and they will freeze to death tomorrow...... To put it mildly, these people dream of being arrested and put in the police station, how comfortable are they to eat and dress warmly? ”

How frustrating does it have to be to make a living in prison and exchange your own for food and clothing?

The man in the vest said: "In previous years, the government tried to help these people solve their living problems, but the effect was not obvious, and then it was changed to humanitarian treatment, and from time to time quilts and medicines would be sent, until someone in the western suburbs was trafficking drugs, and all the assistance was cut off." I haven't been to the western suburbs in years, and I don't know what he's become of now......"

Xu Zhe snorted lightly: "This is the so-called 'mud can't support the wall', lazy to the bone, even if he gets a job, he will fish for three days and dry the net for two days, so it is better to let them destroy themselves...... But even if you are left to fend for yourself, now you are still reduced to the utensils and nourishment of the Zerg, and indirectly endangered society, what the hell do these people do alive? ”

"I heard that there are people living in the sewers in the western suburbs, is it true or false?" Liang Yi asked the vest man again.

The man in the vest said: "The factories in the western suburbs generally have a history of 5-60 years, and the factories are in disrepair, and there is no way to live in them on rainy days; The sewers in the western suburbs have long stopped draining industrial sewage, and at most it is rainwater from the usual rains, so the sewers are very clean, and most people are happy to move in...... In addition, the sewers are full of light and do not see light, which is the most suitable for transporting contraband. ”

"Do you know where the entrance to the sewers is?" Liang Yi asked again.

The man in the vest casually pointed to a round manhole cover outside the car window and on the side of the road, and said: "These are the entrances of the sewer divert pipes, and from this entrance, go down the diversion pipes and go up, and at the end of the confluence cistern." The confluence reservoir should be inhabited. ”

Liang Yi asked, "What is the difference between the two paths of diversion and confluence?" ”

"Generally speaking, runoff sewage will be collected according to the sewer to the confluence reservoir, and then there is a special filter screen to filter some impurities and garbage, and then it will be discharged by the diversion pipe, and then it will flow into the river and sea," said the man in the vest. These small manhole covers are basically the entrance to the diversion pipe, which is relatively humid and dirty, and this season should be the breeding period for rats, and the smell should not be good. ”

"Listen to what you say, the head is the way, you know how to do it." Xu Zhe praised loudly on the side.

The man in the vest scratched his big bald head and said with a smile: "It's rare to be praised by the police officer, I won't tell you, I drilled all kinds of waterways in the western suburbs when I was a child, and I could often fish out some good treasures in them in that era, such as rings, golden dentures, ......"

Xu Zhe pursed his lips and proposed, "Since the guide is also available, then we will get off here?" ”

"W-"

After a sudden brake, Kazuo Nohara stopped the car and greeted a few people in the back seat: "If you go through the main gate, it will definitely be easy to be discovered by those drug dealers, such as starting from here directly, our mission tonight is not to sweep drugs." After saying that, he got out of the car first, not dragging mud and water at all.

Liang Yi and Xu Zhe had no opinion, but the man in the vest refused to get out of the car, he looked at Liang Yi in horror: "Officer, you promised me that as long as you answered the questions honestly, you would let me go, why did you pull me out of the car?" ”

Liang Yi stood outside the car door, quietly sucking a cigarette, glanced at Xu Zhe and Nohara Kazuo, and said, "I promised you to let you go, but they won't let it go, I don't know." ”

Xu Zhe dragged the man in the vest out of the car, "Now we need an informant to investigate the case, and the so-called cooperation between the police and the people means this." ”

The man in the vest made a bitter face and asked weakly, "Can I refuse to cooperate......

"Then you can ask it if it says yes." Xu Zhe subconsciously wanted to touch the gun!

"Don't, don't! I'll cooperate with you, I'll cooperate with you......" The man in the vest hurriedly grabbed Xu Zhe's arm and flattered: "Officer, don't you play with me anymore, it's okay to give a refreshing word, how can you let me go?" I want to go home and take a bubble bath......"

Xu Zhe said: "What are you doing with so much nonsense, looking for you to cooperate is to look up to you!" I won't hide it from you, what we have to do next is to save the lives of your entire Dongsang country and hundreds of millions of people! ”

Of course, the bald man didn't believe it, and said in a low voice: "A few police officers can really make international jokes......"

"Bang dang!"

The manhole cover was broken open by Kazuo Nohara.

"So, who's going first?" Kazuo Nohara looked at Xu Zhe and Liang Yi.

"Whoever doesn't invade with a hundred poisons will go first." Xu Zhe squinted and smiled at Liang Yi.

Liang Yi snuffed out the cigarette butt, lit it with a mobile phone flashlight, and took the lead in drilling down from the entrance, Xu Zhe followed with the man in the vest, and Kazuo Nohara stayed at the bottom of the line.

The industrial area in the western suburbs has been moving for decades, the sewer power supply system has long since decayed, the air is humid and turbid, and the temperature is 5-6 degrees Celsius warmer than the outside. The height between the manhole cover and the sewer is about 30m, and it is connected by a 50cm wide ladder, which is rusty to the point of being a little prickly, but still very strong. Four big men stepped on it without the slightest shaking.

"Booming lala......" is like a stream flowing through it.

Liang Yi jumped off the ladder, and when he landed, there was a "chirp", he shone the flashlight under his feet, and found that it was a big cockroach!

"Big cockroaches", generally more than 5cm in length, they scurry aimlessly on the ground, crawling on people unscrupulously, but in just a few seconds, Liang Yi's boots are already covered with cockroaches!

"Whoa!"

The three people who came down after all failed to avoid the dense cockroaches, and stepped on them thoroughly.

"Damn, what did such a big cockroach grow up eating?" Xu Zhe was surprised.

Liang Yi shook off the cockroach on his boots, grabbed the man in the vest, and led the way step by step.

The sewer is about 2m high and 3m wide, of which the drainage channel accounts for 2m wide, and the remaining 1m is the cornice; The sewers also have their own biosphere, spiders, cockroaches, rats, flies, mosses, scale, etc., all creatures that survive in the shadows. "Why is the flow of water so small and the water quality seems to be good?" Xu Zhe said curiously.

The flow of water in the drain is very small, and the water quality is not as muddy as expected, but rather clear and transparent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a trickle underground.

The man in the vest said: "The western suburbs of the industrial zone has been abandoned for a long time, and there is almost no industrial wastewater and domestic water, and all that runs here is rainwater or clean water that seeps in from nowhere; As for the reason for the low water flow, it may be that the water in the reservoir is not above the water line. ”

Liang Yi glanced at his watch, PM21:32, the time was not early, he was more concerned about the distance, so he asked: "How long is the confluence pipeline from here to the western suburbs?" How long do you have to go? ”

The man in the vest said: "The entrance to our sewer is already in the western suburbs of the industrial area, and I don't know how long the distance is, but it will take at most 15 minutes to get to the confluence pipe." ”

"Let's say we're going from a divert to a merge pipe, how do we get there?" Liang Yi asked again.

"Between the confluence and the diversion pipes, there is a gate for filtering large garbage, and next to the gate there is a small gate for the caretaker and maintenance workers, and behind the gate is a huge cistern, as well as some equipment for filtering water, iron bridges and corridors. ”

"Okay."

Liang Yi didn't ask any more, and heard someone relay that it was better to actually go to the scene to see, the air in the diversion sewer was thin and smelly, and he felt that his skin was a little itchy after only a few minutes, and it was not suitable to stay here for a long time.

The group quickened their pace.

……

After 10 minutes.

"Boom la la ......"

The sound of rushing water came from ahead, and a glimmer of light lit up at the end of the passage.

"Meow~"

A cat meow was particularly pleasant, and a pair of fluorescent cat eyes flashed from under everyone's feet.

"Three officers, we're here." The man in the tank top raised his hand and pointed ahead.

There is indeed a gate at the end of the diversion pipe, and there are 4 outlets installed with filter wire mesh under the gate, and the difference between the reservoir and the diversion pipe is about 3m high; Not much water came out of the cistern, but it was a little shorter because of the drop.

At the end of the cornice is a stone staircase, the height of which is equal to the drop between the cistern and the diversion pipe, about 15 steps; At the end of the staircase there is a small green door, which is supposed to be the entrance to the confluence passage.

"Three officers, the confluence is right behind this door...... Do you walk the rest of the way? I'm not going to take you in, am I? The man in the vest looked forward to Liang Yi and the others.

Xu Zhe pursed his lips and said, "It seems that it is useless to take him." ”

The man in the vest hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I'm timid and slow to run, if something happens, I may hold you back." ”

Liang Yi nodded and looked at Kazuo Nohara: "What do you say?" ”

Kazuo Nohara glared at the man in the vest and admonished, "The waitress at the ramen restaurant is my alumnus, if you dare to harass her-"

"Don't dare, don't dare! Absolutely don't dare! The man in the vest hurriedly assured.

Kazuo Nohara snorted lightly and waved his hand: "Get out, it's none of your business." ”

The man in the vest smeared oil on the soles of his feet, and disappeared into the sewer in a puff.
