Origin

One sentence revealed the truth, and the marine police immediately knew that the "chief" was an outsider, "Chief, it's not good to interrogate together, it's easy to collude confessions."

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

The marine police agreed and went to pick him up with his colleagues.

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

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

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

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

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

The captain is a fat man in his 50s. The captain of such a large ship does not work. He is pampered and pampered on weekdays.

But this guy is not as bossy as usual now, his face is pale, he has been shivering after entering the door, and he looks like he is terrified 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, smoking a cigarette, staring straight into the other's eyes with a straight face.

If the captain had been born before liberation, he must have been a traitor. Wang Xinran only said, 'Tell me what happened. 'He came and poured the beans in a bamboo tube, 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 pier yesterday afternoon, and the employer gave him [-] red envelopes after boarding the ship, asking him to drive all unnecessary crew members off the ship. There were seven people on the employer's side. He bought more than a dozen large boxes, and because he had received benefits from others, he didn't ask what was in these boxes.

These seven people are all men, aged between 40 and [-] years old, tall and strong, they use substandard Mandarin when talking to him, and English when communicating with each other.

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

After these people got on the boat, they gave him a coordinate and asked him to drive the boat there.This captain often travels on the Yangtze River and is very familiar with the situation in the Yangtze River Basin. When he saw the coordinates, he didn't want to go there. The reason is simple. The coordinates given to him by the other party are a place called Heilongtan, which is the Laoye Temple in Poyang Lake. A tributary of the waters, where strange things often happen, has always been regarded as a fierce place by the locals.

People who run boats are superstitious, and this captain is no exception. When he learned that they were going to Heilongtan, he hesitated and didn't want to go. He had to find an excuse if he didn't want to go, and his excuse was that the water level in Heilongtan was very low. , Poyang No. [-] will run aground when it drives in.

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

After the other party threw another 1 yuan over, Poyang No. [-] lifted anchor and sailed to the waters of Laoye Temple.

After departure, the other party confirmed to him the top speed of Poyang No. [-], and when they learned that Poyang No. [-] could reach [-] knots, they asked them to absorb water ballast.

The main purpose of the water-absorbing ballast is to increase its own weight to resist strong winds and waves, but there are no strong winds and waves in the waters of Poyang Lake. The captain had to ask why, 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 long-jawed anchovy, which is commonly known as the Yangtze River saury.

Such an explanation is very far-fetched, because Poyang No. [-] is a cargo ship, not a fishing boat, and this time has passed the season for the Yangtze River saury to swim.

Since there was nothing to ask, the captain stopped asking, and drove the boat to the vicinity of Black Dragon Pool according to the other party's request.

After arriving at the destination, those people began to drop radar buoys from various places. At this time, the captain had confirmed that they were not here to catch the Yangtze saury, because the Yangtze saury is very small, and there are not many of them weighing more than half a catty, so it is impossible to be caught by the radar. Detected, can be detected by radar, the individual is definitely not too small.

Soon, they discovered something, and then opened the boxes that had been carried on board before. The captain was shocked when he saw the contents of the boxes in the cockpit, because the boxes were filled with football-sized submersible mines.

After the first mine was dropped and exploded at the bottom of the water, something floated up underwater. The captain didn't see what it was, but he only knew that there was a dark wave not far from the starboard side, and then the ship shook violently.

At this time, someone on the deck fired a shotgun into the water. At first, the captain thought that this person was holding an anesthesia gun. Later, he realized that what this person shot was not an anesthesia needle, but some kind of small positioning device.

Since then, those people have mastered the movement trajectory of the big guy underwater, and dropped mines to bombard it from time to time.

At first, the captain thought that these people wanted to capture the large underwater creature, but later found that those people didn't want to capture it alive at all, they just wanted to blow it up to death.

It didn't take long for the big guy to leave the waters of Heilongtan under the bombardment of the mines. Poyang No. [-] chased after him and dropped mines from time to time, but he still failed to kill him.

Later, there were not many mines left, so those people changed their strategy and chased it downstream, but the big guy didn't seem to want to stay away from Heilongtan, so he made several U-turns on the way, but was intercepted by Poyang No. [-].

In the end, the big guy stopped trying to turn back, but kept moving downstream. Poyang No. [-] continued to chase, and finally sailed into the undercurrent. After encountering the undercurrent, they also tried to turn the rudder to get rid of the undercurrent. At this moment, everyone underwater The gang began to collide with the bow of the ship, and the continuous forceful collision made it difficult for Poyang No. [-] to stabilize the hull, and eventually it tilted and capsized.

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

Wu Zhongyuan glanced at Wang Xinran, and then asked the captain, "You didn't see what that big guy is from the beginning to the end?"

"I saw it, but not all of it." The captain shook his head.

"What do you mean?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"After the boat capsized, that big guy immediately turned around and went upstream. When it turned around, its tail came out of the water." The captain's voice was trembling, and he was terrified.

"What is it?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

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

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

"Not paying attention." The captain shook his head.

"We can find out about this." Wang Xinran said.

Seeing that Wu Zhongyuan didn't ask any more 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 it, "They are trying to steer the tiger away from the mountain."

"I think so too," Wu Zhongyuan nodded, "Their goal is not the dragon, but to lure the dragon away and enter the place where the dragon is entrenched."

Wang Xinran looked solemn, "Yes, Poyang No. [-] bought them at least two hours. No matter what they want, they probably already got it."

"Not necessarily," Wu Zhongyuan shook his head, "If they succeed, they will immediately notify the ship to retreat. The ship was still entangled with Jiaolong before capsizing, which means they didn't succeed."

"Haha, it makes sense," Wang Xinran said with a smile, "If this is the case, they will be 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, otherwise it wouldn't stay away after being attacked, let alone attack those who hurt it after the ship was knocked over. Hurry back immediately."

Before Wang Xinran answered, there was a knock on the door. It was the marine police who came to ask who would be interrogated next.

"Do you still need to ask?" Wu Zhongyuan looked at Wang Xinran. The captain was the one who knew the situation best. He didn't doubt that the captain had something to hide. It seemed that there was no need to interrogate other people.

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

The two nodded in agreement.

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

"They don't know we've come," Wang Xinran said. "After the ship capsizes, they will be eager to know whether this matter has attracted our attention, and they are likely to find these people to find out who interrogated them and the content of the interrogation. Let it go, and lead the snake out of its hole."

"Okay." Wu Zhongyuan nodded.

Wang Xinran found that Wu Zhongyuan was depressed, and asked, "Are you worried about your brother or her?"

Wu Zhongyuan sighed and did not answer.

After leaving the management office, the two returned to the urban area and stayed in the military guest house.

Wang Xinran has been communicating with the headquarters. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the news came that on the day of the incident, there was indeed a small speedboat heading for the waters where the incident occurred. According to eyewitnesses at the port, there were at least five people on board the speedboat, and the city A company specializing in diving equipment sold five sets of imported diving equipment the day before the incident. The buyer was a young woman who paid in cash.

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

Wang Xinran did not 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 drastically.

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

Wu Zhongyuan looked up.

Wang Xinran said, "The oxygen storage capacity of the diving equipment they bought can only support them in the water for 45 minutes, but the speedboat stayed in 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 there may be an underwater space where the dragon is entrenched..."
