Chapter 33: An Unexpected Guest

In the next few days, I found a local tour guide and went around Jinan, but I came from Hangzhou to see more cultural scenes. The more I looked at it, the lower my interest, and then I went for it. A fishing factory dropped fish.

The erosive life passed another week and was interrupted by two uninvited guests.

That day, I still came back from the fishing factory as usual. As soon as I entered the hotel, a waiter came over and said, "Mr. Wu, there are two people looking for you."

I am stumped. I only know the third uncle in this hotel. Is he coming back? No. The third uncle also has the key. When he comes back, he must directly enter the room and will wait for me in the lobby?

I felt strange and asked her where she was.She pointed to the hotel lobby lounge aside.

I walked with her, but I saw a man and a woman sitting there, looking very strange.

When the two saw me passing, they stood up. The man held out his hand and shook me, and asked, "Mr. Wu?"

I nodded and looked at him. It was a slightly fat man in his thirties. He was slightly bald, but his body was clean. He couldn't see what he was doing.The woman was wearing a lace shirt and the buttons were opened all the way to the chest. The waves were choppy. I didn't dare to look at them, so I asked them, "Is these two ...?"

The man handed me a business card, I saw it: International Marine Resources Development Corporation

At first glance, I find it somewhat inexplicable. The so-called development of marine resources is actually based on the analysis of the existing information of various routes and historical records to infer the location of certain shipwrecks and salvage shipwreck materials.

This kind of trading has existed since ancient times, but the real upsurge is after the reform and development. At that time, when the so-called Nanyang fishing fell from the northwest and a large number of tomb robbers flocked to the ancient tombs in the northwest, a large number of people came from the Maritime Silk Road in the South China Sea. Pirates of cultural relics abroad have almost looted shipwrecks off the coast of China for several years.

Compared with Tufuzi, these people are more harmful to the entire archaeology. Due to the large loading capacity of ships, since ancient times there has been the saying "ten tombs per ship".Usually an ordinary medium-sized merchant ship can load more than 100,000 pieces of porcelain, and the benefits obtained by salvaging at once are astronomical.Therefore, compared with them, the master tomb robbers at the level of the third uncle can only be regarded as petty.

The reason I find it very strange is that I have never been in contact with such people, they come to see me for what they do, and only my third uncle knows what I am doing here, and how did they find me.

The man saw me looking at him without speaking. He felt a little uncomfortable and embarrassedly smiled: "You probably think we suddenly came to you like this ... abruptly, but you know what happened when we listened to us. "

I still did n’t speak and looked at him recklessly. He could n’t help but said daringly: “It ’s actually very simple. Last week, a gentleman named Wu Sanxing came to us ...”

I "oh", and I realized in my heart that this is really obvious. Where I am here, only the third uncle knows, then they come to me and they must be related to the third uncle.

He saw that I responded, and his face eased down a little bit. He continued: "Mr. Wu Sanxing and our boss are very good friends. After they met, they had a detailed discussion. I was also present at that time, Mr. Wu Sanxing. Tell us a very interesting story about a possible existence ... Undersea tomb, I do n’t know if Mr. Wu understands this matter? "

I saw that he was talking happily, and he was very unhappy, so he made a gesture and said: "You don't have to pay much attention to me first, please tell me something simple."

He glanced at the woman on the side and seemed to be asking for advice. The woman nodded, and he said: "Yes, then I try to be as simple as possible-Mr. Wu Sanxing proposed at the time to develop this with us. Underwater remains, because the clues he provided are very convincing, so our board of directors agreed, and our company lent him some idle equipment and personnel in the form of a layered guarantee to search the sea near the North Reef, just started The situation has been very smooth, until five o'clock the day before yesterday, their ship suddenly disappeared on the satellite positioning system, and it has not appeared until now. "

His Mandarin has a heavy Cantonese accent, which I do n’t understand very well, but I probably know how it happened. Uncle San seems to have gone to Xisha. He has no experience in going out to sea, so he passes this international marine resource. The development company prepared the ship and equipment. As a result, the ship disappeared after going to sea.

I had a rough idea in my heart, but suddenly, I did n’t feel very worried. I asked the bald man: "Is it because of a problem with the instrument on the ship? Cause the satellite signal not received?"

He patiently explained to me: "No, it will not be a malfunction. This kind of instrument is very complicated. It is difficult for me to explain it to you, but it can be likened to this. This satellite positioning system is actually a black box on board unless it is subject to Very serious injury, otherwise it will not be easily damaged, so this situation is very abnormal. There must be something wrong on board. "

I looked at him and said, "Your company as big as this, if something goes wrong, you should go to the rescue and come to me for what to do?"

The man shook his head: "It's a pity that we have found it. After 48 hours of their disappearance, our ship has searched the missing waters. As a result, we have found nothing. The ship seems to ... disappeared out of thin air."

When he said it, his expression was very weird. It seemed that he didn't believe his own words very much, and added: "Of course, how could the ship disappear from nothing? I think it may have been an accident."

I smiled and said unkindly: "Please pay attention to the point of my question, not what you found, but you came to me, what is the matter, please tell me straight."

The two men glanced at each other with embarrassed expressions, and finally the man spoke: “That ’s it, there are clues that your third uncle and the other two people have found the ancients three hours before the ship disappeared. The exact location of the ruins is being prepared before entering. So ... according to the time estimate, your third uncle should not be on the ship when the ship is missing, but in the underwater ruins ... "

I was shocked in my heart, and I understood what he meant. The uncle entered the underwater ruins, but the support at sea suddenly disappeared. Even if they can come out smoothly, they will enter a dilemma-not on the sea. ferry.

This is really a very difficult thing.

The woman watched my expression change and immediately said, "We estimate that the survey ship may have been hijacked by pirates. If the three investigators on the ship had already entered the site at that time, they might have survived, but because they lost the sea Support, their situation will not be better, you know, they ca n’t swim back. "

I screamed and asked them: "After they finish their investigation, they should return the same way. At that time, your rescue boat should be able to find them?"

The woman was silent for a while, and said: "In fact, in the early discussion, Mr. Wu Sanxing estimated that there was a certain amount of air in this underwater ruin. If they found that the air could breathe, they would stay in it for a while. Time, to prepare for the second entry, so it is very likely that the people in the ruins do not yet know that the ship above has disappeared. "

"You mean, Uncle San already knows how to enter this tomb?" I asked in surprise, how is this possible, and how did he solve that critical problem.

The woman shook her head: "I'm not an expert in this area, I don't know what you are talking about."

I rubbed my temples for a long time without using my brain. I had a headache. I sorted out these things in my heart and asked them: "What do you mean to come to me? What can I do about this?" "

The man said, "We plan to send another team down to bring the people inside."

I thought about it and laughed, "It's not necessary. The people inside will come out after they finish their work. Now you just have to wait for them in the nearby sea."

The man shook his head and said, "This is no longer possible now, because a low-pressure mass suddenly appeared in that place. Soon, the sea will be ..."

I naturally know what happens when a low-pressure mass appears on the sea. If this mass is small, a tropical storm will appear in the sea. If it is slightly larger, then I do n’t know what kind of typhoon will occur. Under the climate, let alone rescue, even if the boat is parked there, it is impossible.

The man continued: "Mr. Wu, now you understand the whole thing. We estimate that we have at least three days in time. The most difficult situation now is not the climate of the sea, but we do not know the ruins. Where is the entrance of, the last area of ​​GPS positioning is three square nautical miles, we need a person to help us find the exact location of that ruin. It is related to your loved ones, I think you will not say no ... "

I do n’t seem to have a sound on my face. I already know that I have to go. Compared with other people, I still know a little about this matter, and even if I ca n’t help, I can do some assistance there. jobs.

However, I always feel that there is a trace of subtlety in the look of these two people, as if there is something that has not been explained clearly.

Out of prudence, I did not immediately express my position. I first smiled and asked, "Three square nautical miles is not very big. Why did you notify the Marine Police?"

When I asked this question, the two of them both looked ugly at the same time. They glanced at each other and didn't know how to answer me.

I spread my hands and looked at them, saying that I would never agree without understanding.

The man hesitated a little, his expression was strange, and said softly, "We are wrong about this matter. I can't tell you about the specific situation, but I can tell you that your third uncle took a fishing permit from Vietnam this time, but The location of the salvage is a little bit different from his estimate. In the waters of China, you should know what kind of situation I am talking about. "

When I patted the table, I almost jumped up and scolded: "What! You even did--"

Halfway through my words, I saw all the people around me looking at me, and several security guards turned their heads, so they swallowed the second half of the sentence and shook their heads to insult the third uncle. His behavior has already involved cultural relics Was caught in cross-border smuggling and could not be shot.

The woman's charming smile, and asked me: "How is it, Mr. Wu, we have already been with Pan Pan, how do you plan?"

I decided to bite the bullet and nodded and said: What options can I have?We set off immediately.
