Tian An did not dare to neglect, immediately shrank his head, and then retracted his hand lightly. This is to prevent the manhole cover from falling all at once and making too much noise.
It was precisely because of this that the moment he lost his perspective, he saw another scene. There was a burst of light in the hallway at the door. And half of the door diagonally opposite is exposed, with the words "ボイラー Chamber" written on it.
Tian An didn't know what this meant, but at this moment he was overjoyed. Because he didn't know it, he didn't know it, but he was sure that it was written by Little Japan. In other words, where he is now must be the Japanese Consulate, and if he can push open the manhole cover, it means that he has discovered a safe passage that can lead directly to the interior. This is a very important discovery and breakthrough.
Tian An was secretly happy, but at the next moment, he forced himself to calm down. I heard a burst of footsteps, the rhythm was slow and slow, and disappeared again after a while. Um. Good, I wasn't spotted.
The matter was over at this point, and he also remembered one thing, that is, before Virgo appointed himself and others to come over to investigate, there were many photos for him to look at. Among them, he had seen the house with Japanese characters written on it. of. It's just that the photo looked like a remake of a self-portrait, and the angle was completely different from what I saw, so I didn't think about it at once. At this time, with both sides confirmed, I felt even happier.
Tian An took a few deep breaths and began to crawl back, feeling happy while doing so. A major breakthrough has been made in the investigation, and the mood can be said to be bubbling with beauty. Even crawling, which is a very physically demanding movement, I don’t feel tired anymore.
There is no need to tell the direction or confirm the fork in the road like when you came here. As long as you follow the side wall of the pipe when you come back and draw the marks with the painting stone, it will be much faster than when you left.
However, Tian An saw that there was still time, and his personality was also cautious, so he still controlled himself to move forward at a constant speed and not to make too much noise or breathing, so he returned after about an hour. return.
So where did they choose as the entrance for exploration? It is a river, commonly known as Gouzi River by local Mudanjiang citizens. But the official name is Tongshigou River.
In fact, several cities in Longjiang Province have rivers. For example, Harbin also has a river called Majiagou River that runs through the city. But it is not clear whether Tongshigou River in Mudanjiang City and Majiagou River in Harbin are connected together.
The channel of Tongshigou River is not wide. The widest place is less than 20 meters above the sky, and the narrowest place is only about three meters. In addition, it is winter now, the river is even narrower, and some underground sewage channels lead to this river.
The entrance Tian An and others chose was a large slope on both sides of the river, covered with snow. You had to climb up to reach the dirt road on the shore. There are some poplar trees here and there, but this poplar tree is not the common kind. It is like a pine tree, with a stick straight up and down, very tall. The local people call this tree the Sky Yang.
At this time, at the sewage outlet, several people dressed in black were hiding on the ground on the steep slope of the river. In fact, it would be okay for them to go down, because if they were not inside the pipe, the open-air river would have frozen long ago and would be very solid. Even if a large truck is placed on it, it will be fine. Of course, if the car really gets into the ditch, how to get up is a problem, after all, the slope is too steep.
Who is keeping watch? This time, it was Hu Feihu and Li He who were responsible for looking out and responding. Black clothes, black sky, hiding in the shadows below, like stones, even if someone passes by them, they may not be able to see them.
Fan Xing was observing the condition of the dirt road in the small bushes on the shore above the steep slope. When someone passes by, they will send a signal to the people below. You don’t even have to make a sound. You can just see it and throw a small stone in the general direction.
Tian An's investigation took a little longer this time. They sneaked in secretly at eleven o'clock and started. It's already past three o'clock in the middle of the night. Fortunately, it's only about five blocks away from the Japanese Consulate. If it were any further away, you might lose your way. After all, it's dark down there and there are many side roads. If you get closer, for example, if you choose a manhole cover about two blocks away and open it, it will be even worse. The street is unobstructed. If you bump into a patrol, the leak will be exposed in advance.
Being unfamiliar with the place, they could only memorize the locations of all nearby manhole covers through observation over the past few days, and then through comparison, they slowly found the sewage outlet in the river.
Li He and Hu Feihu's mouths were so cold that their noses turned into icicles without realizing it. At this moment, two lights suddenly flashed inside the sewage outlet.
The two looked at each other and felt happy. This was a signal that team leader Tian An had returned safely. Among them, Li He immediately took out the flashlight from his big cotton-padded jacket pocket, inserted it into the sewage outlet to prevent the light from spreading to the surroundings, and then flashed twice. It means everything is normal and you can come out.
After a while, Tian An crawled out, breathing heavily, but he still deliberately controlled his breathing, so the sound was not loud. He asked in a low voice, "How's it going? You're not in trouble, are you?"
Hu Feihu also whispered, "No problem, it's still the same on the river bank. Two patrol teams passed by without being discovered." While speaking, someone took one of Tian An's arms and helped him out.
"Where are the clothes?" Tian An said, "Put them on quickly. These clothes are too dirty to take back." As he spoke, he ignored the cold and began to take off his work clothes that were stained with a lot of sewage.
Li He opened his cotton-padded jacket and handed the clothes of Boss Tian An, which he had been holding in his arms, to the other party one by one in order. Tian An waved his hands, so cold that he picked up the snow with his hands and wiped it vigorously on his naked body.
He explained in a low voice, "We didn't stay at the hotel tonight. I was so dirty and stinky when I came back. When people smelled it, they thought I had taken out feces, which was inconsistent with my identity. Although I didn't necessarily doubt it, this kind of We still have to guard against things. Feihu, help me wipe my back as well."
Hu Feihu agreed, quickly picked up the snow, and began to wipe it on Tian An's back. When it was almost done, Tian An rubbed his face vigorously and cursed in a low voice, "What a fucking mistake. I should have known I would have brought a handkerchief. Give me your pants."...
