Chapter Seventy-Four: Round-up
Xie Cunguan did not wait for an obvious change below, but immediately went down. Because the time is a little tight, after all, if the Hakka Guild reports the case too late, it is easy for the police to suspect it. Moreover, Xie Cunguan also desperately wanted to know what was down there.
He believed that the Japanese must have created such a thing, and it was definitely not to make that ladder a danger and prevent the people above from going down. So let Guo Tayu take care of it, and he went directly with Liu Fan, the reason was still that Guo Tayu was too heavy.
Guo Tayu was depressed, what happened to my weight, this is not good, that is not good.
However, Xie Cunguan insisted, and he had no choice. Although he was also curious, he still pressed his curiosity and asked Xie Cunguan and Liu Fan to go down.
But in fact, there is an important reason why Xie Cunguan asked Liu Fan to go down is that Liu Fan has a gun.
Xie Cunguan's skills are definitely no worse than Guo Tayu. Two people with good skills, one and two, there is not much difference. But down to a Liu Fan, a gun can top a class. Because Liu Fan's marksmanship is extremely accurate, this is nature, and it can't be learned.
Although Xie Cunguan practiced hard to throw the gun, Liu Fan had his own set of things in marksmanship, and the gun was not much slower than Xie Cunguan, but the marksmanship was much more accurate.
The preparation of the two of them was relatively simple, a rope was tied around each other's waists at both ends, and there was a response between each other, and so on.
After really walking up the ladder-like ladder, Xie Cunguan realized that it was actually much safer to walk up than it seemed. This staircase doesn't just have handrails on the outside. There are also handles on the stone walls inside. It is a groove directly carved out of the right wall, which can be held by human hands and go down.
It's just that because of the high temperature here, no one has walked it for many years, so the groove is already covered with slippery moss, which is enough to seep to the touch. But Xie Cunguan was like a hook, and he stabilized step by step before he got down.
He walked in front, and Liu Fan walked behind, because Liu Fan was a master of guns. In the back, you can hit the front as well.
But he can't do it, if Liu Fan has any danger in front, he will have to spend some time and effort to get to the front. But fortunately, there were no dangers along the way. But when they had walked for half an hour, and had reached the bottom of the stairs, all of a sudden, the water below was boiling and tumbling. Startled, Xie Cunguan and Liu Fan immediately stopped, their fingers tightly gripping the groove, and nervously looking at the sudden surging sea water under their feet. That scene is exactly like the scene of the appearance of deep-water monsters under the sea in Hollywood blockbusters.
But then they breathed a sigh of relief, as a huge platform slowly rose from under their feet.
Looking at the black sea mud on the platform, Xie Cunguan was a little worried. How can this find the entrance.
But obviously his worries were unnecessary, the platform had been slowly rising, and when it was completely raised, Xie Cunguan had already seen that the platform was facing the bottom of the steps, and there was a small platform recessed, which was obviously the place of the portal.
After all, this is a secret base, not a place of war, and there must be a reason why the Japanese built such a secret place. But it won't be the reason to be on the defensive of war. Because when this base was built at that time, in terms of the manpower and material resources it expended, it was definitely not built when failure was imminent, but probably for the reason of protecting some secret.
But that's all. Xie Cunguan still went down to the platform with great caution.
It's slippery on it, but it's obviously been cleaned up once. As soon as you step on it, the sea mud is much thinner than it looks next to it. Moreover, the door was upright, and the outline was clearly visible.
Xie Cunguan carefully searched for the mechanism, and quickly concluded that it was a safe-style password door.
Because next to this door, there is a small room-like recess, and there is just room for one person to sit inside.
According to his judgment, there must have been people sitting in this place in the past, who came to open the door. It is impossible for everyone who enters and exits this place to know the password here. Xie Cunguan's hand groped for the door, and finally found a gap for him that was stuck in the sea mud. Xie Cunguan touched up and down there, and found a groove that could be pulled into his finger, and as soon as he forced, the place was pulled, and then it was opened. Inside, there are a total of six small runners in a vertical row, and a doorknob underneath exudes a strong smell of engine oil.
Xie Cunguan did not directly move these small wheels, but carefully looked at the six small wheels.
On the six small wheels, there are obviously only four wipeed sea mud marks, obviously the last time the people who came were the ones who opened the door with these four wheels, but it is not excluded that these people changed the setting password after entering.
However, he had been trained to open a safe, and although there was no special auxiliary equipment like a stethoscope, it was not difficult for Xie Cunguan, so he put the inside of the lid directly on his ear, listened carefully, and began to gently turn the four small wheels until he heard the faint sound of spring tinking.
After hearing all four, he still didn't open them, and he began to turn two from top to bottom, one by one.
After finally hearing the dinging sound, Xie Cunguan twisted the handle on the door and pushed the door hard, but did not push it. He was about to continue spinning the wheels, but suddenly he came down, and then he changed to push, and then a miracle happened, and the door was slowly opened, revealing the black hole inside.
The two glanced at each other, Liu Fan took out a small tactical flashlight from his body, turned it on, and then held the flashlight in one hand and dialed out the **** in the other, and entered the door first.
Xie Cunguan followed closely behind, and after entering the door, he found that this was a small room with excellent sealing, and at the other end of the room, there was another door. This door is a bit like the one in a submarine, it is round and has a big runner on it.
Xie Cunguan walked over, twisted the wheel, and pushed hard, and the door opened.
After entering, I found that this was another confined space, and there was a station on the opposite side that was the same as just now. Xie Cunguan also opened the door, and saw that as soon as he went out, there was a small room like a power distribution room, and he walked over. As a rule of thumb. I pulled down the switch, and the whole inside suddenly lit up.
The two of them saw that there was a large space inside, almost exactly the same as the concrete floor outside, only one size smaller. Moreover, the place outside should have been a cave, which is where Xie Cunguan and Liu Fan are standing now.
It is a long circular passage that goes around the space in between. Xie Cunguan walked along the passageway, and next to it were rooms that had been tempered and treated with plexiglass, isolated one by one. These rooms are full of bones.
Xie Cunguan walked along this passage. Until he got to the other side of the passage, and then he stopped.
With two rooms here, the space is significantly larger. Moreover, inside are rows of filing cabinets. But at the moment it was already a mess. On top of the layer of floating ash, there were handprints and footprints everywhere, Xie Cunguan walked in, and saw that in these filing cabinets, there was obviously a gray mark on the outside, but the inside was very clean, obviously the documents placed inside had just been taken away.
Although the whole room was chaotic, there was not a single piece of paper left, and it was impossible to tell what the Japanese had taken from this room.
Next to this room. There was a door, Xie Cunguan opened the door and entered, and inside was a staircase leading down.
Going down the stairs, you came to another door, which had some water stains, apparently freshly made. Xie Cunguan opened the door, but the structure here is a bit like the structure of the door that came in, and there are three layers of doors.
When Xie Cunguan opened the last door, a fishy smell immediately hit his nose.
This turned out to be the bottom of the entire base. It has reached the sea level, there is a huge groove there, and next to it is a welded high platform, Xie Cunguan knew at a glance that this was the platform for docking submarines.
Could it be that there was a submarine here?
At this moment, all you can see is the glittering sea water in the groove gently lapping against the steel plate. There is a rumbling sound. He walked down the stairs to the recess. I saw the newly rubbed marks on those steel plates, shining with a metallic luster unique to steel. Apparently this is a new mark, and the submarine here should have just been driven away.
But soon, Xie Cunguan's eyes were attracted by a new mark on the high platform, which was obviously a new mark that had been rubbed out, but there was no obvious trace. But what caught Xie Cunguan's eyes was that there was something bright yellow in the imprint. He stepped forward, carefully distinguished, and finally determined that it was gold.
The Japanese took a large amount of unknown materials here, and then transported a batch of gold.
At that time, the Japanese plundered a large amount of gold in Southeast Asia, and most of it was shipped back to China.
This is actually one of the reasons why Japan quickly became economically stubborn after World War II.
Many people attribute Japan's rapid economic decline after World War II to the sense of distress and hard work of the Japanese people, but they do not know that at that time, other countries were losing in the war, and only the Japanese were absorbing it.
Apparently, there was also a batch of gold that had not been transported back to China at that time, and it was transported by the Japanese.
In fact, this is the reason why the wealthy Malay Saifra is bent on getting his hands on this boxing ring, and Sefra does not know where he got the news that there is a large amount of gold stored by the Japanese in this former Japanese military base.
But it turned out to be taken by Shibata Hiroshi.
Xie Cunguan's face was gloomy and he returned to the base, and soon he found the warehouse where the gold was originally stacked, it was a huge safe, Xie Cunguan calculated according to the traces left by the stacking of gold, this batch of gold is about more than a meal, which is a huge wealth in modern society.
Xie Cunguan's face was a little gloomy, such a batch of wealth must not be allowed to be shipped back to Japan.
The documents and gold were shipped away, and it is estimated that what was left was of little value. Xie Cunguan immediately returned to the boxing ring with Liu Fan, and as soon as he came up, he immediately called Hua Yuewei and told him briefly about the matter.
This base has lost its meaning to Xie Cunguan, and he is now concerned about what the Japanese have transported from it.
Xie Cunguan immediately called Yan Pei and reported the situation to see what Yan Pei could do. On the other hand, he immediately contacted Zeng Shixiong, who was closer to Indonesia and should have acted as the quickest to act. Moreover, in order to strengthen the strength of the Indonesian Chinese Autonomous Army, through the relationship of the World Chinese Federation, a diesel conventionally powered submarine has been purchased for the Indonesian Chinese Autonomous Army.
Although it is only a second-hand item that has been eliminated, it should still be advanced enough compared to the Japanese submarines in World War II. Xie Cunguan immediately asked Zeng Shixiong to use all sea and air forces to round up and search this sea area.
At this time, he suddenly understood what Kang Shunfeng meant when he told him to cultivate his own strength. To be continued
