Chapter 40 Direction
Qi Yi's tone was confident: "It must be."
"These guys have a very small goal." Wang Detachment sighed: "It's a turbulent time."
Qi Yi was silent. It was not a matter of trouble. The strange cases that were rare in the past few years happened one after another in these three months, and the worrying hairline of the Wang Detachment moved up several centimeters.
If this continues, the detachment leader may have to replace him.
After sighing, Team Wang took out the walkie-talkie and asked the police to search the upstairs to pay more attention to whether there are mezzanines in various places.
After a long time, he stood up and asked, "Have you recovered? After recovering, let's go down to the tunnel and take a look."
Qi Yi silently put a bottle of salt soda in his pocket and nodded. Lao Chi and Ji Chengpeng followed suit, and looked at Wang's team after taking the bottle of water, waiting for him to give orders.
Detachment Wang walked to the side of the secret passage and stretched out his head to ask the police inside: "What's going on inside?"
"The secret passage is about three meters deep, and there is a vertical ladder down. Then it is an arc-shaped passageway eastward, about two meters high and about one meter wide, and is built with cement. In addition, there are heavy columns supporting each other. The structure is quite stable, and the specific situation is unknown, so I don't know where it leads."
"There are also walls built, and the project is quite small." Wang Detachment sneered: "Go down and take a look."
The secret passage was stuffy and tide, but not too hot, probably because the thick layer of soil was isolated from the heat.
The passage looks a bit old, and the cement has cracked, and water droplets are sucking and falling from time to time.
Because there is no light all year round, there is no vegetation in the passage, but a lot of wild bacteria have grown. Looking around, they are basically full of toxins. When the flashlight is swept, you can occasionally see earthworms and other creatures.
"It feels like I've been digging here for more than ten years. Will it collapse?" Lao Chi took the lead. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more wrong he asked, "It's long and deep, it's not really a hole, right?"
"Your thief hole is so wide?" In the secret, the light of the flashlight pulled the figure so big and small. Qi Yi knocked on the wall with an electric shock stick, and the cement mixed with the soil fell down: "It's not about making a movie, nor about digging the Mausoleum of the Shihuang. It's good that the serious thief hole can barely crawl. It won't take this effort to dig that big, let alone build a cement wall."
Ji Chengpeng's voice was low: "Let's lead the way with peace of mind, don't guess."
Lao Chi was quite afraid of his master, so he shrank his neck and continued to walk forward.
The four continued to move forward, but the speed was not fast. Lao Chi would stop and press the lighter from time to time to judge the oxygen concentration based on the burning of the flames.
In this environment, several people are becoming more and more depressed.
The Wang Detachment suddenly asked: "What do you think about this secret passage?"
Qi Yi took the lead in talking: "I just said something old Chi is right. The passage has been around for at least ten years and has been built in a dark room of an unfinished building. The two are inseparable."
Ji Chengpeng also expressed his guess: "This may be related to the case. Those students may have broken the big secret hidden in the unfinished building and were killed."
"My opinion is contrary to Team Ji," Qi Yi opposed: "I ran to the unfinished building in the middle of the night to play monsters and chat games. I could barely use my courage to find stimulation explanations, but they could not stay in the extremely hot dark room for so long, and they could not sit down on the hot ground as if nothing had happened without leaving any sweat stains.
It is obvious that when they were playing the game yesterday, the dark room was definitely not hot, which was very problematic. Combined with the huge array talisman drawn with blood in the dark room, the same way of death between the dead and the game, the crow-shaped "reed vicious circle" in the north of the unfinished building and the scarecrow in the eyes of the crow, plus the inexplicable hot searches, tonight's secret shots and attacks...
I tend to think that this is not a tragic killing accidently breaking the secret, but a tricking the students into killing them. They are performing some kind of evil ritual, and those children, and even us, are all chess pieces they chose to perform the ritual. The murderer may be particularly disgusted with Gu Zhao and added codes when killing him.
In summary, I think that in addition to stepping up the interrogation of the arrested gangsters, the subsequent investigation should also focus on Gu Zhao and check who he has been closer to recently. I suspect that he was bewitched by the murderer, so he organized this game."
Ji Chengpeng thought for two seconds and nodded: "Gu Zhao is indeed our key investigative target. I will ask my brothers to increase their efforts based on the current situation."
"Unfinished buildings and tunnels should also be investigated," Qi Yi added: "If you can't find the owner, find construction workers. If necessary, you can solicit clues from the society for a fee. Construction workers who see the reward announcement will naturally contact us. Don't be afraid to alarm the enemy. They dare to take the initiative and will not be scared so easily. They may be reluctant to make things bigger."
The Wang Detachment nodded calmly.
With several major cases in succession, Qi Yi's overall view has grown completely and has fully learned to break out of the shackles of forensic autopsy, visits and investigations and conventional techniques.
Rewards are a common good method, but many criminal police officers are always timid and unable to grasp the right position and are not targeted.
As he was talking, Lao Chi suddenly stopped: "It's over, there is a well in front of him, the same structure as the unfinished building."
Qi Yi raised his hand to look at the bracelet and walked for about 1,500 meters. Considering that there was no signal underground, there might be some errors.
The wide tunnel is more than 1,000 meters long and cement is also laid. There are definitely many people participating in the construction of such a large project. The time is not too short, and it is impossible to be airtight. The reward may be rewarded.
Lao Chi turned on the flashlight and illuminated it: "It's almost three meters high... There may be danger in the exit. I'll go up and tent the wind first, please be careful..."
"Since there is danger, why are you in a hurry to go up?" Wang Detachment took out a black box like a cell phone and fiddled with it for a while: "Okay, the positioning signal has been sent, wait for the brothers to come from above to support him."
Old Chi was stunned.
He was ready to be ambushed and rushed up to fight with guns and bullets. As a result, the Wang Detachment suddenly called for foreign aid?
After waiting quietly for about ten minutes, Lao Chi's ears moved: "There is movement!"
He has a lot of experience in this area, so he quickly took two steps back, hid behind the passage, and held a gun on guard.
Ji Chengpeng and Wang Detachment also pulled out their guns at the same time. Qi Yi, who was not equipped with a gun, could only retreat behind them and hold his electric shock device tightly.
Dong~dong~dongdong! Dong~
The sound of two long, two short and one long hitting sounded from the top of his head. Wang Detachment relaxed his expression, lowered his gun and said, "I am my own."
The exit was quickly lifted, and a beam of light came from above and Luo Youyong's voice came: "Team Wang?"
"It's us." Wang Detachment replied in a deep voice: "What's going on outside?"
"Nothing special. The exit is in the woods. It is covered with a manhole cover. It is covered with loess. There are some dying weeds growing on it to hide their eyes and ears." Luo Youyong replied: "But... it is very close to the reed marsh with the crow map cut out, or it is on the edge."
"Reed Marsh?" Qi Yi was slightly stunned and thought to himself that he was heading eastward. Why did he come to the reed Marsh north of the unfinished building? He made a circle of the tunnel? No wonder the distance is wrong...
While thinking, Luo Youyong above suddenly heard a scream: "Damn, where are so many crows? Be careful!"
Qi Yi's face changed slightly: "Crow?"
