Maybe it was the terrifying scene when I was on the river boat a few days ago, so that Qin Bukong and I couldn't help but nervous in the cabin, I think this is probably the sequelae of the legend. After getting off the boat, I asked Qin Bukong, this place is so big, how can I find people?

Qin Bukong told me that he also thought of it because I got into the hole in the middle of the night last night and found that the pine nuts were first dug in the sewer.

He continued, just imagine, if the predecessor a thousand years ago wanted to hide something in a place, he must have considered whether it would be found or dug up by others in the future. We have also done some understanding these days, and the Iron Gate Pass has been an easy fortress to attack since the Three Kingdoms period. In the land of war, if you have to hide things there, it will not be on the ground, but underground. This ensures that people won't be found for a long time.

I nodded, in fact, I had thought of this before, but there were many people moving around the place where the Iron Gate Pass was now, and even if it was underground, in full view, we didn't have a good chance to dig it out. But Qin Bukong's implication was probably that Songzi should have thought of this a long time ago, so he didn't start digging from the ground, but looked in the opposite direction from the ground, so that he could not only avoid everyone's ears and eyes, but also be able to be unaware.

So I asked Qin Bukong, do you mean that if Songzi is alone to look for clues, he is most likely to go to the sewers, right? Qin Bukong nodded and said that it was very possible, and maybe he had encountered some danger, otherwise he shouldn't have been without news for so long. This kid catches ghosts and fights ghosts with a straw bag, but if he wants to escape, I'm afraid it won't be difficult for him. Someone as clever as you let him run, let alone the ghosts?

Qin Bukong said lightly, and at the same time, he also sarcastically mocked me without a trace. I asked him, but when we passed through the "Ghost" pass before, there were ghosts all around, and how big the battle was, if the "ghost" was the same, we shouldn't be completely unaware of it. Qin Bukong said, this is what he is worried about, since there is no moth, it means that Songzi has not found the key clues, and most people will find another way if they can't find it, and they will never leave quietly and secretly, so Songzi is likely to encounter some trouble when he retreated, not that he didn't want to come back, but that he couldn't come back at all.

Qin Bukong said, anyway, let's go to Tiemen Pass first to have a look, the sewers established in Wuhan are basically on the way to go, and the day Songzi disappeared happened to be after dinner, which shows that he decided to do this at night, and this matter was the location he inquired about early in the morning. Matsuko doesn't have the ability to see from the air, so like us, he can only try his luck one by one, but he knows how to narrow down and only lock on to a few possible sewer entrances. And Matsuko's accent and intonation are quite different from the locals, as long as we inquire around, even if we can't find him, we should be able to have some clues.

At that time, most people were simple and had few bad intentions, so Qin Bukong said this, I think this is probably the only way at present.

The iron gate looks very old, although it is a cultural relics protection unit, but there is no cultural relic, it is tattered and dirty, all kinds of people are walking under the arch, on the stone steps on the inside side of the door, there are still a few old men who are smoking and chatting.

Qin Bukong asked me, if you wanted to inquire about the news, what would you do? I said that I would definitely look for the local elders, after all, these are the people who know the place best, and what has happened over the decades, even if I don't understand, I can have a general correct direction. Qin Bukong pointed at the old men from afar and said, I bet, if Songzi really came here as we thought, he must have asked one of those old men Do you believe it or not?

Of course I don't believe it, I say this man is alive and not dead, do you mean that if you see a person here today, you can be sure that he will be here tomorrow? Qin Bukong shook his head and said, in terms of craftsmanship, you are much better than others, but in terms of intelligence, you are really not an opponent. The fact that these elderly people were able to get together to chat and smoke shows that this behavior is a common occurrence for them. These old people know each other and live in the neighborhood, so they come here.

Thinking about it this way, I also think that what Qin Bukong said makes sense, but I still said stiffly, that's not necessarily, maybe it's just that people are tired of walking and resting here...

Qin Bukong snorted and didn't continue to pay attention to me. But he said to me, you wait here, I'll ask. So I stood on the side of the road and waited for him, Qin Bukong came to the old man's pile, his beard seemed to surprise these old people, and he couldn't hear what they were saying from too far away. Qin Bukong came back a few minutes later, and he told me that it was right, it seems that Songzi had indeed been here a few days ago, and he had also asked these old people about this iron gate, so it seems that we came here today, and we guessed half right.

I hurriedly asked Qin Bukong and said, how are you sure that it is a pine nut? This is also a historical site, and those who come to Wuhan for a short stay, if they have time, will probably come to visit it, right? Qin Bukong shook his head and said, I told those old people about the size and accent of pine nuts, and when they heard it, they said that a thin boy did come a few days ago, carrying a big bag, as if it contained some long tools. Not only did they inquire about the construction here, but they also asked which unit was in charge of the nearby civil air defense pipeline project.

As soon as I heard it, I thought that this was probably him, it seems that although this Qin Bukong is not the opponent of Songzi, but after all, Jiang is still old and spicy, and the experience is here, that is wealth. Qin Bukong continued, when I heard that Songzi inquired about the civil air defense pipeline, I knew that it was probably the same as we guessed. Most of the sewers in this city are connected to each other, because Wuhan is on the riverside, and the sewers must have the function of discharging floodwater in addition to sewage, so the volume of these pipes will be relatively large. In addition, Songzi knows Feng Shui, as long as he goes underground, he can find the location of buried things.

After a pause, Qin Bukong added, of course, the premise is that the thing is still there and has not been poached.

Qin Bukong's words completely convinced me, but no one knows whether this thing is still there. Judging from the fact that Songzi didn't go home for two days, he must have some clues to continue to investigate, and even found clues and was blocked by something. From this point of view, there is still something hidden here that has not been discovered. From another point of view, even if the original soil base was leveled when rebuilding this iron gate, maybe some things were really dug up, but we have all seen the stone box under the word "魑", and the things inside are actually not amazing, if it is really valuable to investigate, then when we investigated in the museum earlier, we should not be completely unable to find clues about this matter, because of the information we learned before, when rebuilding here, some copper coins and weapons were found, Other than that, nothing else seems to have been unearthed.

Qin Bukong frowned and said, now it can basically be concluded that the pine nuts entered through the sewer, as for whether they got lost and couldn't get out, or encountered any dangerous situation, we don't know, but we still have to be mentally prepared. I said what to prepare? Qin Bukong said that what he was going to find was a dead body, not a living person.

Qin Bukong's words were cold, as always. Although it sounds ugly, I have to admit that what he said is indeed possible. The already nervous mood has now intensified. Qin Bukong continued, the old man told me just now that Songzi was carrying a big bag, which seemed to contain some long tools, and we all know that Songzi's bag is not such a big one, what does this mean? It shows that this is what he bought now, those long tools, it should be shovels and chisels and the like, and these things were originally available at home, but he went to buy a set alone, which shows that his purpose is to find the things that the senior hid here, and he will not give up until he finds them.

I asked Qin Bukong, so what should I do now? The terrain here is unfamiliar, where can we find it? Qin Bukong said, first of all, there are people coming and going on this big road, and Songzi definitely enters from here. But the passage he chose to enter should not be too far from the iron gate, and he is not stupid, why should he take a detour for himself? So now the two of us act separately, with this iron gate pass as the center, within three hundred feet around, all in an inconspicuous position, especially those small alleys, observe the kiln manhole cover on the ground, remember, to write the cover of "rainwater", step on it to see if it is loose, whether it can be opened, no matter which opening he went down from, as long as we find an opening that can go down, and then find the way in the direction of the iron gate, we will definitely be able to find some clues.

I must admit that although I have admired Qin Bukong for a long time, I have always behaved in a good way. But when his reasoning came out, I was secretly convinced. Although I don't know if he was so concerned about Matsuko all of a sudden, was it really because Matsuko was part of the team, our companion, or if he had an ulterior motive. In terms of Qin Bukong's personality, he is a very suspicious and selfish person, and it is very likely that today's active search is because he is worried that Songzi will take the lead and find what we are looking for, and then take it for himself.

I asked myself that my heart was not as dark as Qin Bukong, but I couldn't help but have some worries in this regard. In any case, you need to look for it first, and then you need to see people in life, and you need to see corpses in death.
