Hong Kong News: Police Talker

Chapter 935: 9 Dragon City – Coffin Alley

Coffin Alley is located in the northwest corner of Kowloon Walled City, sandwiched between two 10-story illegal buildings. The entrance is very hidden, inside a metal door behind an unlicensed dental stall.

After Watson pushed open the iron door, he stood there in a daze. The scene before him was really shocking to him.

This is an alley less than one person's width. Adults can only move sideways in it. The height seems to be about three meters, with moldy electric wires, clotheslines and red cloth from the shrine hanging from the ceiling.

There was a light bulb hanging on the secretly connected wires, which flickered like a ghost fire when the contact was poor.

The most shocking thing is the room here. No, it cannot be described as a room, it should be a partition.

They are three-dimensional rectangular compartments less than one meter wide and two meters long, and only about one and a half meters high. The door curtains are made of yellowed old newspapers or snakeskin bags, hastily nailed together with thumbtacks.

To be honest, this is really no different from a coffin.

But even in such a place, there live countless poor families.

Ma Jun pushed Wang Jiu's confidant and roared, "Tell me, where is the bomb?"

Wang Jiu's confidant said bitterly, "I don't know the exact location either. I only know it's in Coffin Lane."

Ma Jun was about to take action when Watson stopped him and said, "He probably really doesn't know. After all, it's already this late, and Wang Jiu is dead. There's no point in him insisting on doing so."

Watson was silent for a moment, then immediately said, "Xinyi, call all your people out. No one is allowed to stay behind. The bomb is inside. We must evacuate everyone first and then defuse it."

Xinyi didn't have any objections and quickly stepped forward and shouted, "Listen up, everyone inside. I'm Xinyi. Everyone, come out. No one is allowed to stay."

As he spoke, he slapped the iron door beside him heavily, making a loud noise.

Xinyi's name is still very famous in Kowloon Walled City. He can be regarded as the leader of Tornado, and he has been the one doing most of the work over the years.

So after hearing what Xinyi said, all the people living in the cubicles crawled out.

Because it was too narrow, progress was slow.

We can't be slow at this time. Although this is mostly due to the narrowness, the fact that those people are timid is also a reason.

"Xinyi, tell them to hurry up. Time waits for no one, and we don't know when the time bomb will explode."

Hearing this, Xin Yi immediately shouted, "Hurry up! If anyone dares to delay again, I'll chop him down!"

After Xin Yi got angry, these people moved faster.

Suddenly, Watson saw Zhang Zaishan taking off his explosion-proof vest. He was about to ask him, but suddenly realized that the Coffin Alley was so narrow that Zhang Zaishan could not get in wearing the explosion-proof vest.

But if you take off the explosion-proof suit at this time, you are gambling with your life.

"Ashan!" Watson looked at the other person with a complicated expression.

Zhang Zaishan smiled as he took off his explosion-proof suit and said, "In our line of work, I've thought about this situation countless times. Don't worry, I will dismantle the bomb. Trust me!"

At the end of his words, Zhang Zaishan raised his head and looked at Watson firmly, his eyes full of determination.

Watson let out a long breath, nodded heavily and said, "I believe you!"

Soon, under Xinyi's coercion, all the people in Coffin Alley came out.

Zhang Zaishan quickly moved sideways and began to look for traces of the bomb in each compartment.

The two bomb disposal experts who followed also quickly took off their explosion-proof suits and moved in, and the three of them started searching together.

Seeing this, Xinyi gritted his teeth and said, "Hua Sir, we can also help. If we want to find something in this place, our informant is more familiar with it."

"Are you sure?" Watson turned his head slightly and asked Xinyi seriously.

"Sure!" Xinyi nodded firmly.

The Walled City is his home. Now that someone has placed a bomb in his house, it is normal for him to find it out personally.

As for the danger, you can do whatever you want to your own home, but if others dare to destroy it, you will be killed.

Watson looked at Xinyi deeply and said with appreciation, "Okay, I agree. However, after discovering it, do not act rashly. Report it immediately and the bomb disposal experts will dismantle it."

"Don't worry, brothers know the seriousness of the matter." Xinyi said solemnly.

Soon, Xinyi and his men moved in.

Watson said to the people beside him: "Everyone, let's search this area. The bomb may not be in Coffin Alley, it may be outside."

After hearing what Watson said, Ma Jun and others immediately began searching the area.

At this time, Xinyi was enduring the stench and using a wooden stick to dig in each cubicle. The smell here could be said to be even more unbearable than that of a ten-year-old toilet.

But even so, Xinyi still endured it. He had lived in the walled city all his life and had smelled all kinds of smells. This was just a small problem.

But Zhang Zaishan had never smelled it before. It was his first time entering Kowloon Walled City. He felt like he was about to vomit, but he held it back.

Suddenly, Zhang Zaishan had a flash of inspiration and shouted, "No, it's too difficult to hide anything in this compartment, especially a bomb. It's impossible to hide it with so many people here. So they must have put it in a place with a lot of clutter to hide the bomb."

After shouting, he suddenly looked at Xinyi and asked, "Is there a place here where a lot of debris is piled up?"

Xinyi frowned, thought for a moment, and then suddenly said, "A garbage dump. There's only a garbage dump here, and no one would go looking for it. After all, everyone lives here, so as long as it's a little useful, they won't throw it away."

"The garbage that people here throw away is truly useless."

Zhang Zaishan quickly shouted, "Where is the garbage dump? Take me there."

Xinyi did not hesitate and immediately led the way, taking Zhang Zaishan to the garbage dump in Coffin Lane.

Coming to the garbage dump and looking at the smelly garbage, Zhang Zaishan didn't hesitate and went forward to search through it.

Xin paused for a moment, then immediately joined in. Seeing this, his younger brothers also endured the stench and started searching together.

After a few minutes, Zhang Zaishan found a box inside. He immediately stopped, carefully pushed away the garbage around the box, leaned over, and put his ear to the box.

“Drip…drip…drip!”

Hearing this voice, Zhang Zaishan's pupils constricted. He stood up and shouted, "We've found the bomb. Everyone, get out immediately. Leave this to me."
