Chapter 86 Underwater Ancient City

"Underwater space?" Wu Zhongyuan was puzzled, "You mean there are caves under the water where dragons are dormant?"

Wang Xinran shook his head, "There should be a space under the water where the dragon lurks, but it may not be a cave."

"What is that?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran sat down on the sofa, "When dealing with the shipwreck incident in the early years, the 18th Branch organized relevant personnel to conduct underwater surveys in the waters of Poyang Lake. According to the records, there were a large number of underwater buildings in the waters of Poyang Lake. These Most of the underwater buildings are ancient cities submerged by lake water, and currently there are three relatively large ancient cities known to be Chaisang, Xunyang and Xiaoyang."

"Is there an ancient city underwater in Black Dragon Pond?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran shook his head, "Not sure, this water area is not mentioned in the case file."

"Since they have conducted underwater surveys, they should know where the three ancient cities are underwater." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Wang Xinran pointed to the cabinet in the foyer. Wu Zhongyuan understood and walked over to get a bottle of mineral water and threw it to her. Wang Xinran caught the mineral water, opened it and took a few sips, then said, "The survey work back then was not very detailed. It may also be influenced and restricted by objective factors such as the technology at the time and the special environment here. They only roughly determined the approximate locations of the two ancient cities of Xunyang and Xiaoyang. As for Chaisang, the location of Chaisang was not stated in the case file. It just means it’s in the northwest direction of Poyang Lake.”

"Chai Sang, why does it sound so familiar?" Wu Zhongyuan frowned. He seemed to have seen or heard this place name somewhere.

Wang Xinran didn't answer, picked up the water bottle and continued drinking water.

"I remembered," Wu Zhongyuan recalled. "When Cao's army went south, the Shu Kingdom sent Zhuge Liang to Soochow to discuss the two countries' two-handed war against Cao. Zhuge Liang was Sun Quan who came to Chaisang to see him."

Wang Xinran still didn't answer. Her history was not as good as Wu Zhongyuan's because she was not really an archeology student.

The two of them didn't speak for a long time. After Wang Xinran drank water, he lit another cigarette. Halfway through, Wu Zhongyuan spoke up, "What should we do now?"

Wang Xinran said, "I know what you are thinking, but I can't support you."

"Why?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Wang Xinran thought about it and said, "There are several reasons. First, we are not sure whether they are trapped underwater. Second, we do not understand the situation underwater. Third, if they are really trapped underwater, we cannot Make sure they are still alive. Also, we don’t know what they are looking for when they go into the water. What is the reason for our organization to risk going into the water? To save them? Even if I agree, can the higher-ups agree? "

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless.

Wang Xinran knew that he was worried about Lin Qingming, so he comforted him, "You don't have to worry too much. Those people on Poyang 1 are still outside. If the black suits and the others are really trapped underwater, they should be more anxious than us. "

Wu Zhongyuan sighed.

Wang Xinran put out his cigarette and said, "Now that we have released the crew members of Poyang 1, they may come into contact with these crew members. I have ordered people to closely monitor those crew members. At present, we have two options. One is to wait until they appear. After that, arrests and surprise interrogations will be carried out. If they can prove that the black suit went into the water to find the spiritual stone, I will have reason to organize people to go into the water and rescue them while searching for the spiritual stone. The second option is to wait and see what happens and let them let go. They do what they want to do, and we don't stop them from trying to save people. We wait until they save people before arresting them.

Which of these two methods do you think is better? "

"Second," Wu Zhongyuan said, "the people at Poyang No. 1 may not know what Zhao Ying is looking for, but are just cooperating with them to dive into the water."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Wang Xinran nodded.

"Have you sent anyone to monitor the area around Black Dragon Pond?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"Yes, they are all two kilometers away, monitoring and observing with telescopes," Wang Xinran said, "Those people are not ordinary criminals. They have strong anti-reconnaissance capabilities. If you get too close, you may alert them."

Wu Zhongyuan thought for a while and then asked, "Can you let the satellite determine what is under the Blackwater Pool?"

Wang Xinran glanced at Wu Zhongyuan, "Satellites can only photograph things on the ground and cannot detect underwater. If you want to know what is under the Blackwater Pool, you have to use a submarine."

After Wang Xinran finished speaking, he saw Wu Zhongyuan's pleading face and shut up before he could speak, "What do you want to do? You don't really want me to bring a submarine over, do you?"

"Can you?" Wu Zhongyuan sneered.

"Do you want an aircraft carrier?" Wang Xinran looked at him again.

Wu Zhongyuan choked and could only shut up in embarrassment.

Seeing his frustration, Wang Xinran felt that what he had just said was a bit too much, "You have to understand us. Handling things like this in a low-key manner is the first principle. We can't make it a storm. Once the public knows about the existence of dragons, it will be difficult for them to remain objective. and sober, they will not simply regard it as a rare aquatic animal, they will have doubts about the materialistic world view, and they will think that since there are real dragons, are there really ghosts? There are also aliens in the society who spread rumors and make random guesses, and eventually things got messed up."

Wu Zhongyuan was speechless. Although he was worried about the safety of Lin Qingming and Zhao Ying, the 18th Precinct also had its own difficulties.

The only thing he can do now is to wait. Wang Xinran also knows what Wu Zhongyuan is worried about. He contacts the people responsible for surveillance near Black Dragon Pond every hour to ask if there are any abnormalities in the nearby waters. To put it bluntly, he is asking if there are any corpses floating up. .

Wu Zhongyuan was grateful for Wang Xinran's approach, but he also had new worries. The absence of floating corpses did not mean that Lin Qingming and others were still alive. They might have been eaten by the dragon, or killed by the dragon. underwater space.

While waiting, the headquarters was not idle. Although they did not know why Zhao Ying and others sneaked into the Blackwater Pool, they could check historical data to determine whether ancient people built a city there before the water was flooded.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, news came from the headquarters. After further search and comparison, it can be roughly determined that the waters of Black Dragon Pool are where the ancient city of Chaisang is located. The place name Chaisang is still used today, but the current Chaisang and the ancient Chaisang It's not the same place, just like Luoyang now and Luoyang in ancient times are not the same place.

In addition, the ancient Chaisang City was established in the middle of the Han Dynasty and was submerged by the lake long before the Jin Dynasty. It only existed for more than two hundred years. From this, the headquarters inferred that if Zhao Ying and others really went into the water to find spiritual stones, then the water would The owner of this spiritual stone should be the warrior who appeared in 213 AD, that is, during the Three Kingdoms period.

The warriors sent by the tribe to look for him were not all men. There were also several female warriors. The warrior who appeared in the Three Kingdoms period was a young woman. For this person, the little wizard described her as "beautiful, petite, and few words". He has many tricks and is good at using hidden weapons. He has a mole on his left forehead. ’

This news made Wu Zhongyuan feel slightly better. Fortunately, this warrior was a woman. If he were a man, it would be troublesome. During the Three Kingdoms period, heroes competed for power. There were thousands of famous generals in history. If you want to win among these people, It is extremely difficult to find the warrior.

Even so, it is difficult for the headquarters to determine the identity of this female warrior in the Three Kingdoms period in a short period of time. It is easy to say that she is beautiful, that is, she is good-looking, but being petite is not a condition for selection. The average of our modern adult men The height is only 1.67 meters, while the woman is only 1.56 meters, but the height of ancient people is quite different from that of modern people. According to archaeological discoveries, thousands of male bones unearthed from tombs in the Qin and Han Dynasties, His average height during his lifetime was 1.8 meters.

This is a very surprising number, but it is real archaeological data. Such archaeological discoveries cannot prove that people are getting shorter, but they can prove that men in the Qin and Han Dynasties were much taller than they are now.

Therefore, petiteness as mentioned by the little wizard cannot be a screening condition, and less talk and more tactics are of no use, because after all, women with long tongues are in the minority, and most women cannot talk much.

There are only three points that can be used as a reference for the search. She is good-looking, can use hidden weapons, and has a mole on her left forehead. The historians at the headquarters need to rely on these three points to find this female warrior from a large number of historical materials from the Three Kingdoms period. The prerequisite is that there must be something in the historical materials. Records about her.

At seven o'clock in the evening, news came from the Marine Police. It was neither good news nor bad news, but strange news. All seven people on the Poyang No. 1 boat at the time of the incident surrendered and admitted that they hired boats to illegally fish for Yangtze saury. , as for other things, not a word was mentioned.

After hearing the news, Wang Xinran and Wu Zhongyuan looked at each other. Neither of them expected that the other party would do something like this. The other party just surrendered and did not tell the Marine Police Zhao Ying and others any situation, nor did he ask the Marine Police for help.

"They are forcing us to rescue them," Wang Xinran said.

"What should we do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The opponent's move was very clever. There is currently no evidence to prove that these people have done other bad things besides illegal fishing. They surrendered because they knew that he and Wang Xinran had learned about this. The thing is to indirectly tell them by surrendering, 'Don't wait, we can't handle this matter, come on. ’

"What else can I do? They are such a bunch of scoundrels." Wang Xinran was angry and helpless. The other party had made it clear that they should wipe their butts, but she had to wipe her butt because Lin Qingming was probably still underwater, and it belonged to Wu Zhongyuan. Senior brother.

"They have no other choice but to act rogue," Wu Zhongyuan also felt helpless. "Such a big ship has been knocked over, and they have no other choice to rescue them. After all, this is on our territory, and they can't. Send a warship over."

Wang Xinran had a dark face and didn't answer.

Wu Zhongyuan knew that Wang Xinran was thinking about how to save people, and he also knew that if Lin Qingming had not participated in this matter, Wang Xinran would have stood by and watched. After all the calculations, the account was finally settled on his head. He felt guilty and had no confidence. He asked cautiously, "Do you want to go over and interrogate them personally?"

"That's not necessary," Wang Xinran waved his hand, "They have already discussed it in advance. They won't say anything that shouldn't be said, not to mention they don't know about important things."

"Yes," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Think about what to do quickly. Even if it is not to save people, we will have to go down sooner or later to find the spirit stones."

"A group of idiots who fail to achieve anything but fail more than fail," Wang Xinran said angrily, "The dragon has been angered by them and is now furious. Who dares to go into the water at this time..."
