The mountain wind is howling, the dark clouds are rolling, and the bamboo trees are swaying. I can't feel the warmth of summer at all.
Li Aiguo tightened his collar, put his hands in his pockets, and walked back to the cave along the mountain road.
Say hello to the railway soldiers guarding the cave entrance.
Striding into the cave.
At this time, all the rescue team members had withdrawn from the cave.
According to Li Aiguo's instructions, Yanzi, who was guarding the cave, squatted on the rock boredly.
Seeing Li Aiguo come in, she quickly stood up and saluted Li Aiguo.
"Patriotic Comrade, Liu Yan successfully completed her mission."
"Well done!"
Li Aiguo looked around.
There is a sentry every three steps and a post every ten steps. They are all fully armed guards. No one can get close to the collapsed area.
"Now please help me to invite Company Commander Cai Fangshun of the Railway Corps over."
"yes!"
Although Yanzi didn't know Li Aiguo's plan.
But now that Li Aiguo was the commander-in-chief, he came out of the cave without any hesitation.
Li Aiguo slowly came to the bottom of the collapse area, raised his head and looked up.
The original roof of the cave has been completely covered with cement. The railway soldiers' workmanship is very good, and there are no gaps.
To investigate the top of the cave, you must
Just as he was thinking about it, Cai Fangshun strode over.
"Comrade Patriot, are you looking for an old man?"
"Comrade Cai Fangshun, please ask the comrades to uncover all the cement on the top." Li Aidong pointed to the top of the cave.
"Uncover the cement?"
Cai Fangshun frowned. Although the rescue was over, he could no longer allow the cave to collapse.
Li Aiguo explained with a smile: "It's not all uncovered, just a part."
"Okay, this is a simple matter, I'll do it right away."
The most convenient thing about dealing with comrades in an army such as the Railway Corps is that there is no need to explain.
As long as you give an order, they will act according to it.
But Yanzi is a curious girl.
I asked Li Aiguo from the side why he went to such trouble.
At this point the cement has solidified.
In order to prevent collapse, steel bars were mixed into the cement, which is as hard as a concrete wall.
It is not easy to use human power to pry off the cement from the top of a cave that is more than ten meters high.
"You'll understand later."
Li Aiguo smiled and excused himself, asking Yanzi to report to Lao Mao.
Yanzi knew that Lao Mao was judging people at this time.
She didn't like that kind of occasion, but she still found it more interesting to watch Li Aiguo do weird things.
Stick to the cave.
After a while.
Cai Fangshun led a dozen railway soldiers and equipment into the cave.
The railway soldiers set up a steel frame more than ten meters high, climbed on the frame, picked up crowbars, and began to clean the cement on the top of the cave.
Progress was slow as we had to be prepared to prevent the cement from falling and injuring people, as well as the rocks at the top of the cave.
The entire cleaning work lasted for two hours. It was not until Lao Mao and Lao Hei entered the cave that the railway soldiers cleared a small area in accordance with Li Aiguo's instructions.
When Lao Hei saw the formation at the scene, his eyes widened in confusion: "Comrade Patriot, what are you doing?"
Li Aiguo did not answer his words, but just turned his attention to the old cat.
Old Mao understood what he meant, and shook his head with a wry smile: "The interrogation has no results, but don't worry, we are just interrogating, not using any tactics."
Li Aiguo certainly trusted Lao Mao, and he felt relieved when he heard this.
In the whole thing, there may be no enemies inside, and the experts and members of the petrophysical team are probably innocent.
They are all comrades who have made great contributions.
If the interrogation breaks their hearts, it's not worth the loss.
Lao Mao looked at Li Aiguo, shook his head with a wry smile, and said, "You are a born investigator, but you don't have a good temper. Maybe you made the right choice by rejecting my invitation."
He then turned his attention to the bare top of the mountain.
"What exactly are you looking for?"
Li Aiguo smiled heartily: "Team leader, do you still remember that I raised a question?"
"What's the question?" Old Cat frowned.
Yanzi raised his hand: "I heard you nagging."
She put her hands behind her back and frowned, imitating Li Aiguo's old-fashioned look.
"Why didn't Lao Hei find any explosives at the collapse site?"
"Yes, that's it. I also have the impression that Li Aiguo said it several times." Lao Dao answered.
Old Mao also remembered it at this moment, frowned and said: "Patriot, the most important thing now is to catch Liu Chunjing, instead of caring about these details. Don't neglect your job."
The investigation was in trouble. He originally wanted to ask Li Aiguo for advice, but now he saw that Li Aiguo was only thinking about this, and he felt a little depressed.
Just what Li Aiguo said next made him stunned.
"Team leader, maybe this suspicion contains clues to Liu Chunjing's whereabouts."
"Really?" The old cat was overjoyed.
"Perhaps nothing has been discovered. Everything will have to wait until I check the top of the cave before I have any results."
Li Aiguo stood up, and under the confused gazes of Lao Mao, Lao Hei, and Lao Dao, he picked up a crowbar and climbed up the steel scaffolding.
"What on earth are you going to do, kid?" Lao Hei was about to mumble something, but was interrupted by Lao Mao waving.
"Don't affect Li Aiguo's work."
Lao Hei pouted like a child who had fallen out of favor.
You were the one who said just now that Li Aiguo is not doing his job properly.
"Don't stand there stupidly. The light is not good up there. Quickly help Li Aiguo illuminate it." Yanzi handed Lao Hei a flashlight.
Lao Hei: "."
After completing the mission, company commander Comrade Cai Fangshun originally planned to lead the railway soldiers to leave, but he stopped when he saw this situation.
Looking at Li Aiguo's figure, he nodded with satisfaction: "As expected of us railway people, look at how handsome his climbing posture is, just like a little monkey."
When Li Aiguo heard this, his palm slipped and almost fell off.
Thank you, Captain Cai, you really know how to praise people, so don’t do it again in the future.
Climbing up the steel frame, Li Aiguo used the bright light to stretch out his palm and quickly rubbed it on the top of the cave.
Seeing his strange behavior, the people below all looked puzzled.
"It's not my mother-in-law, what's there to touch?" Captain Cai frowned and muttered in a low voice.
"go out!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was scolded by the old cat.
Although Captain Cai was not afraid of anything, he shrank in fear when he saw the old cat's black face.
"Li Aiguo and I are one family, we are both railway people"
Just as Captain Cai was about to explain, Li Aiguo's excited voice came from the distance.
"Here it is, found it!"
Everyone's eyes were attracted.
I saw Li Aiguo using a crowbar on the rock and prying it twice. The already loose rock was easily pried off.
Li Aiguo carefully put the rock into his pocket like a treasure, and then climbed down from the shelf.
The light beams from more than a dozen high-power flashlights can collectively illuminate the darkest night.
But it can't penetrate a broken rock.
Lao Hei stared at the rock that Li Aiguo brought back and held it in his hands.
I looked up, down, left, right, and left for a long time, but I couldn't see anything.
"What the hell is this?"
