After receiving Ouyang Ping's call, Director Ma rushed to the sluice with a few of his subordinates and set up a yellow cordon around the culvert.

The south side of the sluice leads to the Qinhuai River, and the north side of the sluice has a river channel perpendicular to the Qinhuai River, and the two sides of the river are built with stone slope protection, and the name of this river is called Moling River.

The water of the Moling River and the Qinhuai River is regulated by the sluices.

Yan Jianhua, Li Wenhua and Liu Wenbin escorted Yang Gaya to walk in the middle of the team.

The people around the sluice gate gathered more and more, and with the arrival of Ouyang Ping and his party, they reached a small climax.

At half of the stone slope, these four rectangular culverts are arranged, the height of the culvert is about 80 centimeters, the width is about 60 centimeters, a quarter of the culvert is underwater, and the two abandoned culverts mentioned by Zhenyangaya are completely hidden underwater.

By the way, the author adds: the stone slope protection of the section between Moling Road and Liuyedu has been completed, and the cofferdam dredging project has been transferred to the section west of Liuyedu, so the completed section of the river has been filled with river water. The project to harness the Qinhuai River is proceeding in an orderly manner according to its own plan.

A policeman is using a bamboo pole more than a foot long to find an underwater culvert, and he is Comrade Xiao Wang, a subordinate of Director Cao. Next to Xiao Wang was a man about fifty years old, who was a staff member of the sluice, and he was telling Xiao Wang the approximate location of the abandoned culvert and the length of the culvert. When the police took the bamboo pole out of the water, everyone saw that there was a lot of black mud stuck to the head of the bamboo pole.

On the bank of the river below the sluice gates were two wooden boats, each with a person, one of whom was the fisherman Fan Dengbiao, and the other was surnamed Tang. Both masters were putting a black leather coat on their bodies, and it was clear that they were going to go underwater. The leather coat they wore was the kind of leather worn by the fish-touching people. Fan Dengbiao and Master Tang were invited by Director Ma. It is more difficult to get the human head out of the culvert without these two people.

Ouyang Ping shook hands with Fan Dengbiao and Master Tang one by one.

Chen Jie and Yan Jianhua brought Jianyang Gaya to the culvert.

"There are two culverts underwater, which culvert are you talking about?"

Pointing to the bottom of the two rectangular culverts to the east, he said, "It's just below these two culverts."

"Where is Wang Hongbao's head in the culvert?"

"I'm going deeper."

"How deep?"

"It's probably so deep—" Descending Yang Gaya gestured to the bamboo pole in Xiao Wang's hand. According to the length of the stroke, it is about 2.5 meters.

"How did you get into the culvert?"

"I put my head in a snakeskin bag and carried it in with a bamboo pole. There was a lot of silt in the culvert, and there was no silt in the place near it, so I sent the snakeskin bag into the culvert from the gap above the culvert. ”

Fan Dengbiao, Master Tang and Xiao Wang whispered a few words, Xiao Wang walked up the embankment, pushed through the crowd, and ran down the street, and a few minutes later, Xiao Wang ran back with a wire as thick as chopsticks and a roll of hemp rope.

Fan Dengbiao received the wire and hemp rope from Xiao Wang's hand, and he first bent the wire into a hook, and then tied the wire to the bamboo pole with the rope.

Apparently, the fishermen wanted to hook the snakeskin pouch out of the culvert with an iron hook.
