Chapter 1845 Out of Water
It was already a little dawn at this time, and the visibility was much stronger than that of Wang Zan when he went into the water. With the help of the strong light of the flashlight, Jiawei and Xiao Du, who went into the water, quickly discovered the black coffin under the yacht.
The two of them were naturally shocked, and at the same time they felt quite inexplicable. After all, this kind of thing is still unheard of.
More than twenty minutes later, the two men who went down came out of the water, took off their oxygen mask and reported to Zhou Tai and Zhang Jingwen in surprise. At this time, they felt extremely incredible. Li Yang thought to himself that Wang Zan had reacted like this before. It was really hard to imagine that there would be a black coffin under the water.
Zhou Tai pondered behind his back for a while, and then said confidently: "I think the matter is already very obvious. The dead person is related to this coffin. Moreover, the things we infer must be hidden in the coffin. After all, there is no discovery on the yacht. Let's do this, find a way to salvage the coffin immediately. If you open it, you will naturally know everything."
"The coffin must be brought up, but do you have to prepare it again?"
Zhou Tai waved his hand and said indifferently: "There are all things in the car, what else can I prepare? Besides, I just want to fish the coffin first. Let's be careful when the time comes. Time can't be delayed. Now it's dawn, it's the time of the day with the heaviest yang energy. This is definitely the most suitable time, right?"
Zhang Jingwen felt that this was the case, so she nodded and agreed to Zhou Tai's opinion.
Then, the police and office people began to salvage the coffin. They first transferred a crane from a construction company at the port, and then prepared four nylon ropes. The salvage process was actually not very difficult. They just tied one end of the four ropes to the crane and tied the other end to the coffin and dragged it out slowly.
Although this is considered underwater operation, fortunately, the yacht has a relatively shallow draft, and the main force that the coffin is dragged out will not be very large. As long as four divers are braver to dive in.
When preparing the coffin, Zhou Tai and Zhang Jingwen were not idle. On the contrary, they were actually quite cautious.
The two immediately contacted the office and asked someone to retrieve the situation recorded at the Chongming estuary.
The special agency of the Special Affairs Office itself has a very large database, which stores various supernatural and unconventional events that have occurred in various places over the past thousand years. Its comprehensiveness is very shocking. After all, it is a national department, and its strength is naturally not comparable to other institutions.
The information Zhang Jingwen asked the office to retrieve was whether there were any records about the sea outlet on Chongming Island, not only on land, but also underwater. The coverage was very wide. For example, in addition to whether there were supernatural events here, whether there were any ancient tomb shipwrecks in this radius of several miles.
The reply from the office archives department still made Zhang Jingwen and Zhou Tai feel more at ease. There has been no problem with the recorded aspects of the sea port from ancient times to the present.
Zhou Tai said to Zhang Jingwen: "According to my estimate, this coffin may have appeared in a waterway in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and then it floated downstream and drifted to the sea outlet. Finally, it happened to meet the yacht and then touched the bottom of the ship. It may be that someone had seen the coffin on the water before, but he didn't care too much, don't you think so?"
Zhang Jingwen nodded and said, "The possibility is very high..."
The waterways of the two major rivers, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, are relatively complex. First, they are all changed into corridors, secondly, there are many tributaries, and the other is that they have formed too long and have been going up thousands of years.
Not to mention anything else, let’s talk about the two rivers below the river channel. Some places in the basin were inhabited. There have been many large-scale migrations in history, and most of them involved hundreds of thousands or even millions of people. Take the Three Gorges Project on the Yangtze River for example. There were many people migrating at that time, and some of them were placed in Chongming.
In this case, in the upper, middle and lower reaches of the river, there may be places where people have lived, ancient tombs may appear. Not to mention history, in fact, on the banks of the Yellow River and the Yangtze River every year, things under the river are washed to the shore, from antiques to coins, even if they are washed out, they are not surprised.
So Zhou Tai’s guess here is still very reliable. He means that this coffin may be from below the middle and lower reaches of the river. It is often impacted by the river water for many months. The ancient tomb was washed away and then the coffin was taken out, and he followed the river to the outlet.
As for whether anyone discovered or had happened in the middle, it is unknown for the time being, but what Zhou Tai said might be possible at least 70% to 80%.
Otherwise, how do you explain?
At around 11 o'clock in the morning, after the preparation of the salvage work, the coffin that had been stuck to the bottom of the yacht was salvaged. The process was not exhausted and it took more than two hours to complete, and there was no trouble in the middle.
When the coffin was placed on the open space of the port, several pairs of eyes stared at it. For some reason, they felt a sense of cunning and creepy when they looked at it. They always felt that the coffin seemed to be staring at me.
At the same time, Wang Zan got up after a sleep, came to the Tudi Temple to open the door and sprinkle water to prepare for the new day and pilgrims.
As for the matter at the port, Wang Zan has chosen to withdraw. He is happy to be idle when the people from relevant departments come to rest, so he doesn't plan to care about this nostalgic business. After all, it is the main thing for him to bear the cause and effect of the Land Temple.
Sitting in the Land Temple, Wang Zan crossed his legs and lit a cigarette. If he looked out from the Grand Master's Chair, he could see the direction of the port directly in front of him.
After taking a few sips of cigarettes, Wang Zan's eyes suddenly narrowed. For a moment, Wang Zan saw that the sky about a few kilometers ahead suddenly became cloudy.
Wang Zan frowned, realizing that it must be the person in the office who also found the coffin underwater and salvaged it. At this time, the coffin must have been leaked.
