Chapter 123 Unexpected Discovery

The three of them walked along this upward passage for an unknown amount of time, and finally heard the sound of dripping water as if they were close at hand. The three couldn't help but quicken their pace, and approached the place where there was a source of water with oil lamps in their hands. .

Using an oil lamp, the three found a simple bathroom with a rotten wooden door on the left side of this section of passage. It was empty, and there was nothing meaningful except for the rusty water pipes that were still dripping.

But on the side opposite to the bathroom on the right side of the passage, there are several small stone rooms dug inside the mountain side by side. The three people carried oil lamps and entered one by one to check. There are more iron tables and lockers, and radio transmission equipment is placed on the table in the third room. It seems that these rooms were the residences of military officers at that time, and one of them was a confidential room responsible for external communications.

The three entered the confidential room. Li Beidang walked to the table first, put down the oil lamp, wiped off the dust on the radio station, then took off the earphones and looked at them, then threw them aside again, and finally leaned down to examine the table carefully. Go to that WWII era radio.

The two women saw it and followed slowly. Huanzi asked softly, "Mr. Li, do you want to use this transmitter to communicate with the outside world?"

"Hmm." Li Bei didn't look up, but stared at the pointer panel of the transmitter, and slowly turned the knob with one hand, as if he was debugging the equipment.

Huanzi was a little puzzled, and asked: "Mr. Li, this ancient device should use Morse code to send messages. Nowadays, people including the military rarely use Morse code for communication. Do you know the Morse code?" Are you familiar with using it?"

"Well, I know one thing, this kind of communication is not complicated." Li Bei let go of his hand again, straightened up and said: "If you can communicate with the outside world, things will be much simpler. You can try to mobilize the nearby troops to destroy the island. This group of pirates."

Huanzi looked at him even more strangely, thinking that he would use the ancient Morse code to send messages, and he also wanted to try to mobilize the army. This so-called slut, Mr. Bei, is not easy.

Bai Lu was very disapproving, and said, "Don't just brag, you should contact the outside world as soon as possible. I don't expect to mobilize the army. You are not the Minister of Defense, so the army won't care if a few ordinary people are kidnapped." , If you can tell the police outside and let them come to rescue quickly, I will be grateful."

Li Bei lifted the oil lamp and smiled faintly: "I'm sorry to disappoint you old man. We can't get in touch with anyone. This transmitter is out of power, and the dry battery has long been broken."

"Then what the hell are you looking at here?" Bai Lu said unhappily, "Wasting Huanzi and I's expressions, and wasting both of our time."

"Speaking of time, the two of you have too much time now." Li Bei had already left the door and said: "You two have fallen to this point, one has nothing to eat, and the other has nothing to wear. If I don't help you spend some time Time, I'm afraid you will become nervous..."

Bai Lu secretly said: Bah, you are not like us, you have no food, no clothes, you are crazy, that bitch Peking University neurotic.

The two women followed him, and went out to check other rooms together. When they came to the innermost end of this passage, the three stopped and found a room with a red cross on the iron door. It is the infirmary in the fortification, or the place where the military doctor lives.

When the three of them entered the room, they saw a gray-green military blanket lying on the iron frame bed, with hands folded on the abdomen, face up to the sky, and a black and gray withered corpse.

Bai Lu immediately became nervous, hid behind Li Bei and Huanzi, and said tremblingly, "Why is there someone dead here? Why didn't he die with the others?"

Huanzi frowned, stepped forward to check carefully for a while, and said, "This man is wearing a military officer's uniform. He may have been a military doctor here when he was alive. When he died, he was wearing a military uniform and lying on the bed with the blanket neatly covered and his hands folded. Stacked on the abdomen, he should have died peacefully, I guess he swallowed some medicine like sleeping pills, and then laid down on the bed and committed suicide calmly."

After hearing this, Bai Lu was no longer so scared, looked at the corpse, and nodded in doubt.

But Li Bei walked to a desk next to the bed and said, "Actually, you two don't have to guess. This person must have committed suicide. There is a suicide note left by him on the table. As for why this person committed suicide, we will know after a look." gone."

Hearing that he still had a suicide note, the two women moved over together and looked at the iron desk.

A row of glass medicine bottles full of dust and cobwebs was placed against the wall on the desk. Under the medicine bottles, in the center of the desk, there was an old watch holding a kraft paper envelope. On the grayish-yellow and black envelope were written a few words: Large brush characters: "Tadaka Yukio's suicide note."

Li Bei picked up the envelope and carefully pulled out the well-preserved letter paper from inside. The three of them looked at it carefully together. While reading, Huanzi read softly and acted as a Japanese translator for Bai Lu.

"I am Yukio Tatada, the lieutenant medical officer of the Mitsui brigade. As you can see, when you came here in a way that I hardly expected, I had swallowed sleeping pills and committed suicide."

"Don't think that I am obsessed with the spirit of Bushido. I committed suicide and died for my country to show my loyalty. I am an officer and also a doctor who heals and saves patients. Like many ordinary soldiers, I cherish my own life and am not willing to end myself by suicide. , even at the moment of writing this suicide note, my heart is full of contradictions, and I am full of nostalgia for this world, but unfortunately, I can only end my own life to wash away the sins I committed just in case."

"Considering that you may have come in a hurry and did not have much time to read my suicide note, in this letter, I will not elaborate on the cause of my death and the crimes I have committed. I only ask you to be merciful." , can help me fulfill my last wish, send the watch my father gave me, and the diary in the iron box, to the Machida family in Shinki Lane, Kyoto, and give it to my family."

"I know that this may cause you great trouble. Since I am dead, there is nothing I can do to repay you. The only way to draw a traffic topographic map of this mountain fortification is before I die. It can help you bypass the hidden defenses in the fortification." It can also help you find the gold that we didn't transport away in time, this is the only reward for you, a lonely soul who died with repentance."

"The map I left you, the cause of my death, and some evil and secret events that happened in the fortification are all in my diary. If you are interested, you may wish to read it."

"Okay, everything is over, I wish you well, thank you very much."

"I will go back in the dark, and I would like to turn into a clear breeze and a bright moon, follow my parents, and always be with my relatives."

……

After the three of them read the letter, they all looked at the military doctor lying on the bed who had turned into a mummy, and were shocked for a long time.

The next moment, the three of them turned their heads to look at one end of the desk again. Li Bei reached out to pick up the iron box and opened it. There was indeed a thick thread-bound diary inside. Li Bei flipped the pages casually, and with a snap, a A folded military map fell down. Li Bei unfolded the map, flipped the back, and saw the fortification traffic map drawn by the military doctor.

Under the light, the strokes and strokes in the picture are quite neatly outlined. Where there are hidden traps in the picture, where lead to other exits, where gold is hidden, all are drawn with a red pen. And attach a small text explanation next to it, the pictures and texts are clear and very informative.
