Origin Chapter 85: There are dragons under water

Just one sentence, the Marine Police immediately knew that this "chief" was a layman. "Chief, it's not good to interrogate them together. It's easy to collude to confess."

Wu Zhongyuan was a little embarrassed, "Well, let's bring the captain first."

The marine policeman agreed and went with his colleagues to pick up someone.

Wang Xinran has been on the phone with the headquarters, but most of the time she is just listening, and occasionally asks questions. The content of the call seems to be related to Zhao Ying and others, as if she is confirming the whereabouts of Zhao Ying and others.

Before the captain was brought in, Wang Xinran ended the call with a more serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"She didn't seem to be on the boat when the incident happened," Wang Xinran said.

Wu Zhongyuan just wanted to ask why, when someone knocked on the door outside, and the marine police brought the captain.

The captain is a fat man in his fifties. The captains of large ships like this do not work. They are pampered and pampered on weekdays. They have fat heads and big ears. cadres.

But this guy doesn't have the usual arrogance now, his face is pale, and he has been shivering after entering the door, with a look of lingering fear of escaping from death.

Wu Zhongyuan couldn't do the interrogation, so Wang Xinran came in person. At this time, Wang Xinran seemed to be a different person, very casual and serious.

If this captain was born before liberation, he must have been a traitor. Wang Xinran just said, 'Tell me what happened. ' He came to a bamboo tube and poured the beans, and said everything that should be said and should not be said.

According to this guy's account, they picked up the employer from the dock yesterday afternoon to board the ship. After the employer boarded the ship, he gave him a red envelope of 10,000 yuan and asked him to expel all unnecessary crew members from the ship. The employer side boarded a total of seven Personally, he carried more than a dozen large boxes. Because of the benefits of others, he did not ask what was in these boxes.

The seven men were men, in their thirties and forties, burly and strong. They spoke to him in less-than-standard Mandarin and communicated with each other in English.

The captain of an ocean-going freighter must know English, but this guy is an inland shipping captain and doesn't understand English or what those people say when they communicate with each other.

The men got on the boat and gave him a coordinate to drive the boat there. This captain often travels back and forth on the Yangtze River and is very familiar with the situation in the Yangtze River basin. He doesn't want to go when he sees the coordinates. The reason is very simple. A tributary of the water, where strange things often happen, and has always been regarded as a fierce place by the locals.

The people who run the boat are all superstitious, and this captain is no exception. When he learned that they were going to Heilongtan, he hesitated and didn't want to go. If he didn't want to go, he had to find an excuse, and his excuse was the waters of Heilongtan. The water level is very low, and the Poyang-1 will run aground when it enters.

'We know how deep it is. ' This is the response from the other party.

After the other party threw another 10,000 yuan over, Poyang No. 1 lifted anchor and sailed towards the waters of Laoye Temple.

After the departure, the other party confirmed to him the top speed of the Poyang-1, and when they learned that the speed of the Poyang-1 could reach 30 knots, they let them absorb the water ballast.

The main purpose of the suction ballast is to increase its own weight to resist strong winds and waves, but there are no big waves in the waters of Poyang Lake. The captain had to ask the reason, but the other party did not give an explanation.

When renting a boat, the captain always asks the other party for the purpose of chartering the boat, and the explanation given by the other party is to catch the long-jawed squid, which is commonly known as the Yangtze saury.

This explanation is very far-fetched, because the Poyang No. 1 is a freighter, not a fishing vessel, and this time has passed the time when the saury swims in the Yangtze River.

Since there was nothing to ask, the captain didn't ask, and drove the boat to the vicinity of Black Dragon Pool according to the request of the other party.

After arriving at the destination, those people began to drop radar buoys from all over the place. By this time, the captain had confirmed that they were not here to catch the Yangtze saury, because the Yangtze saury was very small, and there were not many over half a catty. It may be detected by radar, and if it can be detected by radar, the individual will definitely not be too small.

Soon, they found something, and then opened the boxes that were carried on the ship earlier. The captain saw the contents of the boxes in the cockpit and was startled, because the boxes were full of football-sized sinkers. water*.

After the first * was dropped and exploded at the bottom of the water, something floated up underwater. The captain didn't see what it was. He only knew that the dark waves were surging not far from the starboard side, and then the hull shook violently.

At this time, someone on the deck shot a shotgun into the water. At first, the captain thought the man was holding a *, but later he realized that the man was not shooting an anesthesia needle, but some kind of small positioning device. .

Since then, those people have mastered the movement trajectory of the big guy underwater, dropping * to bomb from time to time.

At first the captain thought the men wanted to capture the large creature underwater, but it was later discovered that the men didn't want to capture it alive at all, they just wanted to blow it up.

It didn't take long for the big guy to leave the Heilongtan waters under the bombardment of *.

Later, when there was not much left, those people changed their strategy and chased it downstream, but the big guy didn't seem to want to stay away from the Black Dragon Pool. He turned around several times in the middle, but was intercepted by Poyang One.

In the end, the big guy didn't try to turn back, but kept moving downstream. Poyang-1 continued to chase, and finally entered the undercurrent. After encountering the undercurrent, they also tried to turn the rudder to get rid of the undercurrent. At this moment, the water The big guy below began to collide with the bow, and the continuous strong collision made it difficult for the Poyang No. 1 to stabilize the hull, and finally tilted and capsized.

After the captain finished speaking, Wang Xinran snuffed out the cigarette **** and looked at Wu Zhongyuan.

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran, then asked the captain, "You haven't seen what that big guy is?"

"I see, but not all." The captain shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"After the boat capsized, the big guy immediately turned around and went upstream. When it turned around, its tail was out of the water."

"What is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"The black tail is exactly the same as the dragon's tail on TV." The captain's teeth were trembling as he spoke.

"Apart from you, were there any other ships near Laoye Temple when the incident happened?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"I didn't notice." The captain shook his head.

"We can find this." Wang Xinran said.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan stopped asking questions, Wang Xinran called the marine police to come in and took the captain away.

Wang Xinran stood up, walked to the window, and opened the window, "They are trying to move the tiger away from the mountain."

"I think so too," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "their goal is not the Flood Dragon, but to lead the Flood Dragon away and enter the place where the Flood Dragon is entrenched."

Wang Xinran looked solemn, "Yes, Poyang-1 bought them at least two hours, no matter what they want, it is likely that they have already succeeded."

"Not necessarily," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "if they succeed, they will immediately notify the ship to retreat. The ship has been entangled with the dragon before it capsized, which means they failed."

"Haha, that makes sense," Wang Xinran laughed. "If that's the case, they're out of luck."

Wang Xinran could laugh, but Wu Zhongyuan couldn't.

"What do you think is the place where the dragon is entrenched?" Wang Xinran asked.

Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "It's hard to say, but it must be something it cares about a lot, otherwise it wouldn't be reluctant to stay away after being attacked, and it wouldn't be after overturning the ship, not attacking those who hurt it. and hurried back immediately.”

Wang Xinran hasn't answered yet when there is a knock on the door. It is the marine police who came to ask who will be interrogated next.

"Do you still need to ask?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wang Xinran. The captain was the person who knew the situation best. He didn't suspect that the captain had anything to hide, and it seemed that there was no need to interrogate others.

Wang Xinran thought about it for a while, and said to the water police, "Come on, take notes for the chief engineer and the crew, release it earlier, don't mention us to them."

The two nodded in agreement.

Wang Xinran grabbed the cigarette and lighter on the interrogation table, winked at Wu Zhongyuan, and the two left the interrogation room.

“They didn’t know we were here,” Wang Xinran said. “After the boat capsized, they would be eager to know if this matter caught our attention, and they would probably find these people to find out who interrogated them and the content of the interrogation. , let them go, and lead the snake out of the hole."

"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Wang Xinran noticed that Wu Zhongyuan was in a low mood and asked, "Are you worried about your brother or her?"

Wu Zhongyuan sighed and did not answer.

Leaving the Administration Bureau, the two returned to the city and moved into a military hostel.

Wang Xinran has been in communication with the headquarters. At 4:00 p.m., news came that there was indeed a small speedboat going to the waters of the incident on the day of the incident. According to witnesses at the port, there were at least five people on the speedboat. Moreover, a company specializing in diving equipment in the city sold five sets of imported diving equipment the day before the incident. The buyer was a young woman who paid for it in cash.

"Where is this speedboat now?" Wu Zhongyuan's heart was heavy.

Wang Xinran didn't answer.

Wu Zhongyuan turned to look at her, "Did they go ashore?"

Wang Xinran shook his head, "The wreckage of the speedboat floated to the shore and was just discovered at noon today."

Wu Zhongyuan's complexion changed greatly.

Seeing him like this, Wang Xinran hurriedly said, "Don't worry, they may still be alive."

Wu Zhongyuan raised his head.

Wang Xinran said, "The oxygen storage capacity of the diving equipment they purchased can only support them to go into the water for 45 minutes, but the speedboat stayed in the same place after it stopped and did not move until it was destroyed by the dragon and sank."

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"There are various indications that the place where the Jiaolong is entrenched is likely to have an underwater space..."
