Li Rui smiled. "Good that you know how to run. Let me tell you. Wait for me for 30 minutes. If I don't come out, call me. If the call doesn't go through, go back and inform Bureau Chief Ji. "Shen Yuanzhu sighed." Aiya, why bother? Why don't you just inform Bureau Chief Ji? You don't have to take the risk. " Li Rui knew that she was doing this for his own good. He remembered this favor and said, "I already told you the reason why I can't tell Bureau Chief Ji. Don't try to persuade me. I'm going in. You keep watch for me outside. "He squatted on the ground and started to look into the hole.
Shen Yuanzhu saw that he was not listening and said helplessly, "Okay, then you have to be careful." Li Rui smiled at her and said, "My greatest safety actually comes from you. You have to protect yourself when you're outside." Shen Yuanzhu was a little surprised to see him thinking of her at this time. She suddenly thought of something and called out, "Wait a minute, don't jump in first. I just realized something was wrong …" Li Rui was surprised, "What did you realize?" Shen Yuanzhu smiled. "Bureau Chief Ji ordered me to stay by your side. How can I let you go in alone? If you want to go in, let's go in together. " Li Rui quickly said, "Bureau Chief Feng's intentions are very good. But this is a special mission. Don't be stubborn. Just wait for me outside. Be good."
He did not know why he added the word 'good' at the end. Maybe it was because he felt that this woman was very gentle, so he could not help but want to joke with her.
Shen Yuanzhu was stunned. She smiled and said, "I think you should learn to be obedient. Either you go back with me and inform Bureau Chief Ji about this, or you let me go in with you. These are the only two choices. I'm not going to stay out here alone. " Li Rui laughed. "Director Shen, you have always been very gentle. Why are you suddenly so stubborn?" Shen Yuanzhu also laughed. "What's the conflict between being gentle and being stubborn? Can't a gentle person be stubborn? "Li Rui forced a smile and said," Just consider me begging you, okay? "Shen Yuanzhu said," I'll also beg you, okay? " Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her and said, "Alright, let me go in first to scout the way. If there's no problem, I'll send you a signal and you can come in, okay?" Shen Yuanzhu smiled and said, "That's more like it. I'll keep a lookout for you. "
After the two finished their discussion, Li Rui tried to drill his head into the hole, followed by his shoulders. At first, he felt that the hole wasn't too big and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get in. But now that both of his shoulders were in, what else was there to worry about? It was just that the soil in the cave was a little dirty. The yellow soil was mixed with soot, and it was extremely dark and yellow. After crawling for less than a foot in the cave, his shirt and pants were completely dirty.
The dog hole wasn't long and was only about one meter long. It was just enough to pass through the tall wall. When he popped his head out from the other side, Li Rui was already inside the coal mine. He carefully peeked his head out of the hole and looked around. The first thing he saw was countless piles of coal. However, these piles of coal weren't very high and were only about two meters tall. It didn't create the image of a mountain of coal.
Li Rui knew that the reason why the coal was piled so low was because if it was piled high, the internal heat and pressure of the coal would cause it to spontaneously combust. When he was young, his home wasn't in his current neighborhood. Instead, it was in a residential area next to a paper mill in the northern district of the city. Because the paper mill was large and had a lot of empty space, it became his favorite place to play. He would either go there to catch grasshoppers or use a slingshot to shoot cicadas and sparrows on the trees. The paper mill was a big user of wheat straw, coal, and quicklime. The material yard was often piled up with piles of wheat straw and coal. In the beginning, the people in the mill didn't know how to place the piles of coal. In order to save space on the ground, they piled it up as high as a small mountain. Unfortunately, it spontaneously combusted and hundreds of tons of coal turned into coke. Since then, the people in the mill learned that the piles of coal shouldn't be piled up too high.
At that time, although Li Rui was still young, he felt that it was very magical and kept it in his heart. Now, looking at the piles of coal in the coal mine that weren't too high, he naturally thought of the happy times when he was young. Thinking about how he was already 30 years old in the blink of an eye, he couldn't help but sigh.
He looked around and didn't see anyone. He quickly jumped out of the hole and stuck to the edge of the pile of coal. After waiting for a few minutes, he slowly walked out along the pile of coal.
What he didn't expect was that just as he started walking, another person's head popped out of the hole.
There were a lot of coal piles, and they took up a lot of space. Li Rui walked for a while before he reached the outermost part of the coal pile. He stuck his head out to take a look and saw many large coal trucks moving in and out of the coal pile. There were also several large trucks that he couldn't name. This kind of transport truck was very large and was painted golden yellow. It was like a giant sitting on top of the coal pile. There was a large iron shovel on top of the head that was like an excavator. When it was inserted into the coal pile, it would be half a truck full of coal. These large trucks with wheels that were taller than a person could be filled up with just two shovels.
Of course, Li Rui didn't care about these details. He looked around and saw that there were drivers and technicians in the trucks. There were also a few people wearing safety helmets standing far away. Although he didn't know what they were doing, he was sure that their eyes were open. He knew that he couldn't walk out openly or he would be discovered. He had to think of a way to blend into their group. However, how could he come up with an idea in such a short time? Even if he wanted to think, he had to go back to a safe place to think. Thinking of this, he turned around to walk back. However, just as he turned around, he saw someone walking towards him.
He had a guilty conscience. When he suddenly saw the figure, he was so scared that he almost jumped up from the ground. His mind was racing. How should he deal with this person? If he questioned him, how should he deal with him? If he attacked him, how should he knock him out … However, in the next moment, he saw clearly that the person walking towards him was not an outsider. It was Shen Yuanzhu who he asked her to guard outside the wall. Seeing that it was her, he didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh. He let out a long sigh and walked towards her.
Shen Yuanzhu walked over quietly and asked, "How is it? Did you find anything? " Li Rui whispered, "There are too many people outside. We can't walk out openly. We have to think of a way to blend into their group." Shen Yuanzhu nodded. Li Rui said, "But it's too dangerous to think inside. Let's go out first." Shen Yuanzhu said, "Oh." Shen Yuanzhu turned around and walked away.
When the two of them arrived at the entrance of the cave, Li Rui let Shen Yuanzhu go out first. While waiting for her to go out, he looked around to see if he could find any traces left behind by Zhuang Haixia and Li Rui. After looking around, he really found the same footprints as the two outside. It seemed that the two of them had indeed come in. He looked into the distance again. His eyes lit up. Not far away, he found a chocolate wrapper in the grass. It was exactly the same as the one outside. His heart jumped. He didn't expect that Zhuang Haixia loved to eat chocolate. She threw the wrapper everywhere and pointed the way for the person who saved her.
Li Rui picked up the wrapper and put it in his pocket. When he came to the entrance of the cave, he saw that Shen Yuanzhu's legs were nowhere to be seen. He went in. When he came out of the wall, he found that she was cleaning the dirt in front of her. He smiled and said, "I didn't want you to go in, but you insisted. Now you're dirty." Shen Yuanzhu said, "It's not a big deal even if it's dirty. Aren't you dirty too? You can just wash it. When we go back, take it off and I'll wash it for you. "Li Rui quickly waved his hand and said," Director Shen, you're too polite. There's no need for that. I'll wash it myself. " Shen Yuanzhu said, "Washing clothes is a woman's job. You men are supposed to do big things. How can you rush to do a woman's job? You'll be laughed at."
Li Rui smiled and walked to the side. He patted the dirt off his body and thought about how to sneak into the mine. He remembered that the people he saw were wearing dark blue uniforms. He shouted happily, "There's a way." Shen Yuanzhu said happily, "What way?" Li Rui turned around and looked at her and said, "It's very simple. I'll go and find a set of mine worker's uniform. Once I put it on, I'll be able to sneak in easily." Shen Yuanzhu smiled and stretched out two fingers. She waved them in front of his face and said, "Not one set, two sets." Li Rui said, "Forget it. You shouldn't take the risk with me." Shen Yuanzhu said, "No, I won't feel at ease if I don't watch over you. I've already made it clear to you before I came. I'll do whatever you want me to do. Don't even think about getting rid of me. "
Li Rui looked at her beautiful face and thought to himself, "Looking at her stubborn temper, there's no point in talking to her. I might as well go and find mine worker's uniform first. Then I'll sneak into the mine when she's not paying attention." Even if she knew that he had left her behind, would she dare to sneak into the mine alone?
Then he thought, "Should I inform Ji Fei about this matter? If I inform him, then I won't be able to sneak into the mine alone. He might even alert the enemy. But if I don't inform him, then I won't be able to guarantee my safety. He might even misunderstand that I want to take all the credit for myself. That won't be good for me. "
Then he thought, "I want to sneak into the mine. If I really sneak in, how am I going to find out the whereabouts of Zhuang Haixia? I can't just walk around and ask around. " He believed that even if the mine caught the two people, they wouldn't publicize it. At most, only a few of the mine's leaders would know. He didn't even know them. How was he going to get close to them?
Thinking about it this way, it seemed that there were still a lot of problems that needed to be solved. He couldn't help but have a headache and feel disheartened. From this point of view, being a police officer wasn't easy. You can't just see the glorious scene of them catching criminals. You also have to consider the suffering they had to endure before solving the case.
