Chapter 307: Searching for people according to pictures
Yin Xiu felt that since Luo Wei became the sergeant of the Miscellaneous Section, this should be the most useful time for him to speak in his police career.
Because he had just asked him for the sewer drawings of each district in the morning, and in the evening, those drawings were delivered by a carriage and piled up in his house.
For this reason, Yin Xiu gave two packs of cigarettes to kill the grumbling coachman, and bought several roasted goose legs to ask Caihuaxiong to help.
Architectural engineering drawings are naturally very different from mechanical engineering drawings. It can even be said that they are completely different.
However, drawings are not drawn for beauty or display. Their main purpose is to allow most people to understand what is drawn on the drawings.
Therefore, as long as they understand the legend and memorize the approximate scale, a mechanical technician like Yin Xiu can get started quickly.
He really couldn't find the right person to help with this kind of tedious and careful work.
If Uncle Ming were asked to help, I'm afraid he would have to curse and walk away after a while, rubbing his eyes in pain.
Originally, Yin Xiu wanted to ask Ma Xiaoyu to come home and burn the midnight oil, but she suddenly wanted to go to Lantau Island with Lan Po to worship the gods and spend the night there. She didn't know what she was doing.
On the other hand, the reason why Naihua Xiong was called was that he was not only capable, but also worried about Liu Banxian's affairs.
After all, they don't even know where Liu Banxian is at the moment. With a vampire, if he disappears for one more day, he will be even more dangerous.
Although Yinxiu and Naohuaxiong have completely different ideas and even different worldviews, they both have smart minds and are proficient in reading drawings.
Among Cai Hanxiong's pile of belongings that no one wanted, there was a book of mechanical design drawings that was thicker than a Bible, and it was almost torn by him.
Naturally, Yin Xiu had read all kinds of mechanical structure drawings, and practice makes perfect.
The drawings of various districts and streets were quickly flipped through in their hands. Almost as soon as their left hand took them out, their right hand had already thrown them aside.
Needless to say, the ordinary drawings were piled randomly, and the areas with doubts were marked with red and blue pens one after another, and piled up specially.
The two of them started at eight o'clock in the evening and continued until after two o'clock in the morning before finally sorting out the drawings.
Unused drawings were piled as high as the ceiling, as if they would trigger an avalanche if they were accidentally touched.
And there were actually as many as baskets of drawings that really caught their attention.
Caihuaxiong took a bite of the roasted goose leg, took another swig of wine, and then piled the wine bottles aside.
This was the third roasted goose leg he had eaten tonight. As for soju, he and Yin Xiu left four empty bottles behind.
"[Four] This number is not very auspicious, please add another bottle."
As she spoke, Yin Xiu unscrewed another wine bottle and poured a glass for Cai Huaxiong.
The two of them were not drunk at all. It seemed that the wine was just a boost for their mental work. Just like coffee, the more they drank, the more energetic they became.
Nahanao took the wine glass and clinked a drink with him before taking the rag and wiping the oil stains on his hands.
Then Nahanao picked up a piece of paper, on which several line segments and nodes were outlined in blue and red handwriting.
"You must have the same idea as me, right? The city government's pipeline planning is done by the best engineers in England.
They will not mess around, draw a line at will, make a cross and then dare to ask others to dig and construct.
If they want to do projects, they will definitely avoid places with soft geology and a lot of water, and they will never build projects above underground caves. ”
As he spoke, Naikaxiong picked up a pen and another atlas and clicked on a few places, "Look, combined with this geological report, there is a huge underground cave in the area they avoided in this section. This should be natural, not dug by those hermits.
After all, this is a detection report from thirty years ago. ”
Yin Xiu agreed: "Yes, I also felt strange when I saw this drawing, because it was twisted and bypassed the most economical plan.
If there was a natural cave here, it would be impossible for those hermits to miss it. Judging from the direction of extension, it would even become the only way for underground residents to pass through. ”
Nahanao scratched his inner thigh, "I agree, there is no better place than this. It is accessible in all directions, the structure is stable, and there is no danger of collapse."
As he spoke, he took out another drawing, which also had several lines and cross points drawn on it. It was the drawing of the sewer pipeline of Apliu Street.
"Chun...dai, right? That detective, there are caves under the Yaliu Street where he is, and Chunfeng Street a few blocks away, there are also underground caves there."
Nahanao put several drawings together and said seriously: "Those hermits should look more like ants."
"Ant?"
"That's right, or they are worker ants. If we compare these caves to ant nests, those hermits built a network leading to each ant nest by digging their own roads and using the sewer network.
It was said before that they might dig down the entire Hong Kong Island. Although it is a bit exaggerated, they are indeed working on digging out the ground.
Except for the tunnels connecting various ant nests, other places should not have been fully excavated and developed, and are still thick rock formations.
So I inferred that these large and small caves should be gathering places for all kinds of people. Maybe one of the caves belongs to those iron-faced monks, and another cave belongs to those black-robed qi-refiners. Maybe there is a vampire who can't sunbathe hidden in any cave. You just need to visit a few of the big caves. You can get some clues. ”
"You guys?" Yin Xiu glanced at him.
Nahanao said calmly: "Of course it's you! You said I'm so fat..."
He held his fleshy belly and said, "Not to mention the tunnel, even walking up the stairs is difficult. What should I do if I get stuck in a cave and can't pull it out?"
Although what he said made sense, Yin Xiu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xiong, you are very thoughtful"
Nahanao didn't take it seriously, "Hey, although I am also interested in the body structure of those iron monks, since I was almost killed by the Zombie King last time, I know that there are some situations that I cannot intervene in. I can't It’s good to add chaos.”
Yin Xiu waved the drawing in his hand at him, "By the way, will you go with me to these places? After all, there are quite a few."
"This is nature."
Nahanao nodded, "Besides, it's okay if the vampire is in such a large gathering area. If he got into a [small bubble] in a rock formation somewhere, it would be much more troublesome. We wouldn't even know how to find him." ”
Yin Xiu couldn't help but hold her forehead, "Can you stop being crow-like?"
"Okay, I'll try my best." Caihuaxiong spread his hands.
After the two of them finished their work, they just chatted, talking about the jockey in Happy Valley to the rich lady in Mid-Levels. In a short time, they drank another bottle of soju.
It was only then that Nahanao finally felt a little sleepy and scratched his butt.
"I have to go. A swordsman is looking for me to customize something these days. It's quite complicated and requires some effort."
"Let him wait for a few days." Yin Xiu said.
"How many days to wait? These people who are struggling to make a living on the edge of a knife, after you say hello to them today, you don't know if you can see them tomorrow. Asking a swordsman to wait a few days, isn't this the most excessive request?"
When Yin Xiu heard this, she felt that although Cai Huaxiong always seemed to take the wrong medicine, his words had some truth inexplicably.
So he nodded and said: "That's fine. If you have something to do, just go and do it. By the way, can you still do the transformation plan you mentioned last time?"
Yin Xiu pointed to her left hand.
After making [Red Scale·Change], both Naihua Xiong and Yin Xiu believed that they had used the heat required by the machine to its limit. No matter how much carbon powder was added to the prosthetic body, it could only burn to this extent. , it is impossible to take another step forward.
Therefore, after Caihua Xiong was released, he has been working on how to improve it. This is not only about Yin Xiu's mechanical prosthesis and combat effectiveness, but also may be a general direction for future mechanical development.
In this way, last time he and Yin Xiu went to find Arms Li to buy the required materials.
Hearing Yin Xiu's question, Caihuaxiong nodded and said: "Come on, I just met Li Jun a few days ago. He said there are still a few things missing. The suppliers in Europe are stepping up their work. They may have been on board during this time. Maybe it will be shipped over.”
Yin Xiu said quietly: "Then you have to hurry up. Maybe for me, waiting for a few days is a luxury and waste?"
"You?"
Naohuaxiong rolled his eyes at him, "What a blessing, I'll make you spit and say it again. I won't be surprised if others die one day, but you are the only one. I think you are tougher than those vampires and werewolves. Who can Can I kill you? Tathagata Buddha?"
As he spoke, he stretched and walked outside.
At this moment, his foot stepped on a piece of drawing.
It was also one of many pipeline diagrams, perhaps rolled down from a mountain of drawings.
Nahanao picked it up and glanced at it, and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Yin Xiu asked.
Caihuaxiong didn't bother to reply. He just watched and called Yinxiu to come over and take a look.
Yin Xiu didn't take it seriously. After walking over, he found that although the drawing looked ordinary, there was a large blank space where there should be a straight line. It was not until the other end of the drawing that Finally reappeared.
"What is this place?" Nahanao asked.
Yin Xiu didn't answer his question, but looked at the upper right corner of the map: the drawing of the sewer pipeline around Maitreya Mountain.
"Mt. Maitreya? Are there caves there? But I don't seem to have seen any relevant geographical reports?"
Nahanao rummaged through the album, but couldn't find it. It seemed that this drawing did not attract his attention before.
"No need to look for it."
Yin Xiu patted him on the shoulder and said, "This vacancy is Hongde Temple."
