Special Forces Medic-Chapter 645 - 607: So That’s How It Is

"I saw the signals you left, but I just don't know what they mean?" Hua Qingyi leaned halfway out and discovered he was in a very intriguing place. It looked like a naturally formed layer of earth, and about half a meter below them was the cave, with the land surface above their heads. "Oh my God, how long would it take to create a place like this?" This isn't like the Middle East, where land, air, and people harmonize. Living below the surface requires much more manpower, resources, and financial strength than living on land. "Brother, just how wealthy is Fourth Lord to come up with such a construction."

Xiao Lin initially shared the same shock as Hua Qingyi, but after thinking it over, it's just a matter of having money to do things. Just by looking at the amounts he swipes on his card, you can tell how lucrative things are inside here. "How did you get in?" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"Didn't I say I came down from the chimney?" Hua Qingyi wanted to light a cigarette but was stopped by Xiao Lin, who pointed at the center of the exhaust vent opposite, indicating there was a hidden sentry. "The chimney's design has more to it, two triangles joined together, smaller at the ends, larger in the middle. I think the larger part is probably the surface, though the downward triangle isn't very deep."

"So you didn't understand my signals!" Xiao Lin muttered to himself, then lightly slapped the back of Hua Qingyi's head.

"Why hit me!" Hua Qingyi yelled but still smiled at him. "What does it really mean? Also, I noticed marks you left at the entrance to the cave, but they've changed a bit."

"Three fingers with a horizontal line is the way to open the door, two fingers and a horizontal line indicates my location, an inverted triangle points to the direction." Pretty easy to understand, isn't it? He eyed Hua Qingyi. "This Dragon Soul secret code was taught in class. I thought you'd understand."

"Brother, by that time I'd been shown the door." The elevator started moving again, as if the entire rock wall was vibrating. "Was the person who scared Director Zhao and Wu Shuang you?" Suddenly thinking of something, Hua Qingyi asked Xiao Lin, as this possibility wasn't impossible.

"Only when you and Wu Shuang came that time, why the second time?" Xiao Lin thought for a moment. He didn't want Wu Shuang involved, so he scared her away, but according to Hua Qingyi, there should have been two encounters.

"I came from the city center and brought Director Zhao here. He said he saw something inside the door at the entrance. At the time, the chain had dropped half a circle, and the door opened from the inside, like you did the second time. Could it be that time wasn't you?" Seeing Xiao Lin shake his head, Hua Qingyi's heartbeat quickened a notch. "Don't scare me, is there really something here?"

"Stop imagining, maybe it's just a coincidence." Xiao Lin knocked the back of Hua Qingyi's head again. He crawled out of the cave, and from the elevator, only the innkeeper emerged. The woman remained below, no wonder the innkeeper's wife was seldom seen. "Here, everyone enters and exits through that door. At the bottom of the door is an Anka; just a slight nudge locks it automatically. So perhaps when you and Director Zhao came, they left in a hurry and didn't lock it, causing it to automatically open when you touched it."

"I see." Hua Qingyi still had the urge to explore; he was quite curious about the place below. "What's this place really used for, and why were you hiding behind that room? Since you know how to enter, why are you outside?"

"Do you think I don't need food? Plus, knowing you, you'd start looking for clues here first. Wu Shuang will tell you this is where Ah San's body is stored."

"What about Wang Canghai? When we found him, it wasn't long before he died. I discovered his dismembered corpse outside the low bungalow, and according to Mu Rongyun, the assassin is from the foreign 'Black Crow' organization."

"I saw how he died with my own eyes." Xiao Lin seemed to avoid the question, judging by his furrowed brows showcasing how shocking the scenario must have been. "What's the situation outside now?"

"The little policeman is dead; Tang Xiaoxia from the city committee, due to overdosing on illegal substances, attacked and injured someone, and has been sent to the psychiatric ward." Since he doesn't want to bring it up, just ignore it entirely.

"Looks like someone couldn't stay put." Xiao Lin laughed oddly; it was faster than he'd imagined.

"I've handed over all outside matters to Wu Shuang. After all, the City Police Department's case is here, their involvement would be more appropriate than ours." Hua Qingyi paused briefly and retracted his extended body since there were people moving below, not just one person. "Now that we've found their base, what's your plan?" Actually, from here, it's not that far down; only the position they're in juts out a bit, so the perceived height seems much greater.

"This is just a processing plant, not the headquarters."

"Processing plant!? Direct production locally."

"Yes! Bringing raw materials through legitimate channels for customs clearance, then producing them here, so the old man can't find any smuggling crime evidence against Fourth Lord." Despite being adversaries, Xiao Lin still admired her intellect.

"Even if raw materials are cleared, necessary documentation and inspection reports are required; typically, regular raw materials wouldn't suffice to produce these illegal drugs!"

"That's Fourth Lord's cleverness, the transformation between quality and quantity."

"Large batches of raw materials entering couldn't go unnoticed."

"Imported via food processing channels, with legal food inspection certificates, it's relatively easy to clear customs. Nowadays, import and export trade isn't so strict, complete procedures generally pass, except for special substances which are relatively stern."

"You mean they blend raw materials into the food to sneak in!"

"The likelihood is high, and customs checks are very cautious; never underestimate Fourth Lord, everywhere she plants her people, so you'd better be careful in the future!" Xiao Lin teased Hua Qingyi; within, there is no distinction between day and night, lights naturally go out at certain times, then is when they can start taking action.

"In any case, eradicating all destabilizing factors is your duty. As for me, just overseeing the entire strategic situation and public affairs will do!" Hua Qingyi comfortably stretched his leg, perhaps even delegating political tasks to this guy for coordination, so he could stealthily enjoy his leisure.

"Did you bring everything I need?" (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to visit qidian.com to vote for it with recommendation or monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation.)
