Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Laboratory
Wei Chi was puzzled: "I really don't remember clearly, I was only eight years old at the time, I only remember that my father sealed the basement." ”
Fang Xun recalled: "We can only look carefully on the spot, maybe we missed something." ”
When Wei Chiran just turned around, he suddenly stopped: "Sir Fang, where are we standing now, where is the top of our head?" ”
Fang Xun thought for a while and said, "The backyard of the house. ”
Wei Chiran said: "Yes, backyard, what's in the backyard?" ”
Fang Xun recalled: "Garden, tree, I know, you are talking about the arch that your father buried?!" ”
Wei Chi nodded: "That's right, the location of my father's buried arch happens to be above the passage, is there any connection between this?" ”
Fang Xunyi looked up at the top of the passage: "Maybe there is." ”
Wei Chi rolled up his sleeves: "Then let's go up, continue to dig, and dig out the arch completely." ”
The two went upstairs with tools, only to find that the arch that had been dug out had been buried again.
Wei Chiran looked at the ground, and then looked at Fang Xunyi: "Isn't this three hundred taels of silver here?" ”
Fang Xunyi agreed: "Someone buried it again, which shows that there is a problem here, excavation, and the arch must be completely dug out today." ”
The two men took a full morning digging to dig out the entire arch, and when they dug to the bottom of the buried arch, they found a metal plate at the bottom of the arch.
The most bizarre thing is that there are two raised boxes on either side of the metal plate, and the boxes are exactly next to the left and right sides of the arch, and there are three iron chains at the bottom of the doorposts, but the chains have been cut.
Fang Xunyi looked at the welding parts on the iron box: "The welding parts are new, but the iron plate is rusty in many places. ”
Wei Chi got up and said, "Do you know how to use a welding torch?" ”
Fang Xunyi nodded and said, "Yes, I used to be a welder." ”
Wei Chiran was worried about an accident, so he asked Fang Xunyi to stay in the backyard, drove back to the Northwest District by himself, found a welding torch from a familiar repair shop, and hurried back to the house non-stop.
Fang Xunyi took the welding torch and quickly cut open the iron box on the left side of the iron plate, and then found that inside the iron box was a runner wrapped around a cable.
Seeing this, Wei Chi Ran said, "Go and cut the other one." ”
After Fang Xunyi used a welding torch to cut the iron box on the right side, he found that it was also a runner and a cable.
Fang Xunyi frowned and said, "What does this mean?" ”
Wei Chiran looked at the iron plate on the ground, and his eyes fell on the iron chain under the doorpost: "My father should have fixed the iron chain with the doorpost, and cut the iron box on both sides, and tied the iron chain with the cable in it, so that the runner could not work normally, but later someone found out, cut the iron chain again, and re-welded the iron box." ”
"So, your dad's real intention in burying the doorpost was to jam the device?" Fang Xunyi looked at the iron box again and said, "Then what does this device do?" Why is there an iron plate underneath? ”
Wei Chiran smiled and said, "What is under our feet?" ”
Fang Xun recalled: "Passage." ”
Wei Chiran said again: "What if it's not a passage?" ”
Fang Xunyi wondered: "What do you mean?" ”
Wei Chi said: "What if it's a large elevator?" ”
Fang Xunyi suddenly realized: "I know, it's not an experimental site, but an elevator to the experimental site?" ”
Wei Chi said: "That's right, in this way, everything can be explained." ”
Fang Xunyi asked again: "But, why did your father use the arch to jam the elevator's running device?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "I can only make a guess, probably because I saw a lot of strange things when I was a child, so my father felt that this place was very evil, so he set up a formation according to the palace system." ”
Fang Xun remembered something: "That's right, the secret door, the palace system really needs to hide the secret door, your father found the elevator device when he hid the secret door, maybe he found something, so he simply sealed the elevator device?" That is, the elevator was still working at that time? ”
Wei Chi nodded: "That's right, but then someone cut the chain." ”
Fang Xun recalled: "Since the chain is cut, why don't you take away the buried arch?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "My father must have worked hard to bury the arch, but after all, he is the owner of this house, and it will not be strange to do anything, but if after his death, someone breaks ground here and takes out the arch, it will arouse suspicion." Therefore, it is enough for these people to dig a pit at night, cut the iron chain, and let the elevator continue to run. ”
Fang Xunyi looked around: "So where is the switch of the elevator?" ”
Wei Chiran said: "I think the strangest thing should be, why did Liu Chang buy this mansion as Jim after my parents died, and what did he want to do?" ”
That's right, according to what Yu Chi Zhengping said, at that time, they realized that they were being watched, and maybe they would encounter accidents, Liu Chang and Gan Le must have also known, after the death of Yu Chi Zhengping and An Yuzhu, the two should immediately leave their relationship with this place, leave with Wei Chi Ran, and then buy the house, isn't it redundant?
Unless, the experimental site under this house has something to do with these things.
So, you still have to figure out what the place is below, and you have to find the elevator switch first.
The switch cannot be in the house, because people who take the elevator will not run into the house to press the switch, and there must be other entrances and exits near the underpass, and people who take the elevator cannot enter and exit the house.
Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi returned to the underground passage, Wei Chiran was responsible for finding the switch, while Fang Xunyi walked towards the cave deep in the passage, looking for the entrance.
Not long after, Fang Xunyi hurried back and said to the lieutenant: "I found it, there is indeed a passage." ”
Wei Chiran followed Fang Xunyi into the cave where they found the four human corpses, Fang Xunyi pointed to the middle part and said, "See?" The iron plate on the ground has a clasp next to it, and when it is pulled open, there is an entrance and exit below. ”
The lieutenant stepped forward and pulled away, and then a foul smell came to his nose, and he quickly turned his head to dodge.
Fang Xunyi covered his mouth and nose and stepped forward, glanced down and said, "It's a sewer, and it's the earliest sewer in the Chinese town, built in imitation of European sewers." ”
Wei Chiran squatted to the side and watched: "It turns out that the location where the four human corpses are standing is the entrance and exit, I didn't find this at all before, maybe one of the functions of the human corpse is to divert the attention of the discoverer and prevent him from paying attention to the entrance and exit below." ”
Fang Xunyi frowned and said, "When PW cleaned up the scene, how could he not find it?" ”
Wei Chiran thought for a while and said, "Maybe you found out, but you didn't say it on purpose?" ”
Fang Xunyi asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Wei Chi said: "The experimental site is obviously a cooperation between the United States and the military of country T at that time, so there must be something related to the military here, didn't PW ask the military before?" The military's answer is also ambiguous, after all, the military is very powerful, even if PW relies on the support of the royal family, he can't command the military, you know, the military title is preceded by the word Wang, the royal army, the royal air force or something, they are also royal family. ”
Fang Xun recalled: "You mean, PW deliberately asked the two of us to check? In case something happens, let's both carry the black pot. ”
Wei got up slowly: "That's right, on the whole, that's it, now you know, why did that person in the royal family transfer you to the Special Cases Department, right?" And why is it the Ministry of Internal Security who is in charge of our case? ”
Wei Chiran said this because he hoped that Fang Xunyi would tell him about his backer in the royal family, but Fang Xunyi still didn't say anything.
Wei Chiran said: "Let's make a bold guess, the five-person tactical team that attacked us, and even the militants who intercepted our vehicles, may all be military personnel. ”
Fang Xunyi frowned and said, "Could it be that sewing a thousand corpses and the military are cooperating?" ”
Wei Chi nodded: "Maybe, who knows, look for the switch first." ”
The two returned to the passage, almost peeled open the cracks in the wall, but they couldn't find it, so they could only follow the passage to the cave, looking along the way, and finally found the switch next to the entrance and exit of the sewer in the cave.
The switch is hidden in a hidden compartment next to the iron plate clasp.
Wei Chiran and Fang Xunyi looked at the button, but they didn't press it.
Fang Xunyi's gaze turned to Wei Chiran: "Do you want to go down?" ”
The lieutenant pulled out his pistol with a sigh of relief: "It's hard to find out here, you have to go down." ”
Fang Xunyi directly pressed the switch, and then a strange sound came from the cave, which was as terrifying as a ghost crying wolf.
Wei Chiran woke up when he heard the sound and said: "This is the strange sound I always heard when I was a child, it turned out to be the sound of the elevator running. ”
The two immediately ran to the entrance of the passage, and found that a green light lit up in the gap in the floor at the entrance of the passage, and soon after the two of them stood up, the green light turned into a red light, and the entire floor began to slowly descend.
Fang Xunyi looked around and said, "It's really an elevator." ”
Wei Chiran estimated the height according to the speed of the elevator going down, and after the elevator finally stopped steadily, Wei Chiran opened his eyes and said, "It's almost ten meters." ”
Fang Xunyi looked at the elevator and said, "Look over there." ”
Outside the elevator is a flat trapezoidal room, the bottom of the trapezoidal is the elevator, there is an instrument like a detector in the middle of the upper bottom, and there are two small rooms on the left and right sides, and the room has only one peep opening, like a fortress.
Fang Xunyi and Wei Chi Chi entered the small room to search, and found that there was no one in the room, but there was still an empty ammunition box on the ground, and there was a general machine gun mount under the peep opening, indicating that the two openings were originally equipped with light machine guns.
The two of them came out to check the instrument again, and found that the stripe code and numbers on the instrument were scratched and painted, and it seemed that they did not want to be known about the manufacturer of the instrument, so as to track down the person or organization who bought the instrument.
Behind the instrument was a hallway, and as soon as the two of them entered the hallway, the first row of lights in the hallway came on.
Fang Xunyi stopped and said: "The light is inductive. ”
The lieutenant Chi Chi ran held his gun and said, "Go forward and see what is ahead." ”
After walking about ten meters, rooms appeared on both sides of the corridor, and there was a small window with a railing on the room.
Wei Chi looked into the small window, and at a glance saw that this was the room he saw through the eyes of the porcelain painting.
Fang Xunyi also reacted: "Are these the rooms you saw in the eyes of the porcelain painting before?" ”
