She raised the oil lamp and shone it on the road ahead. She saw that the rock cave was deep and bottomless, and only the whimpering wind blew.
It's dark and cold.
"I don't know where this road leads to." Xiao Lingyue murmured, "These bandits are serious enough to do things!"
Digging a secret passage in the deep mountains is undoubtedly a chore.
Without machines or gunpowder to help, every inch of the road requires human digging, which is much harder than building roads and bridges.
And it is underground, and you may be at risk of hypoxia and suffocation if you accidentally.
Xiao Lingyue couldn't help but wonder—How much temptation is there for these bandits to work hard and risk their lives to do such things?
"I'm afraid that the person who digs out this secret passage is not a bandit at all!" Zhan Bei said coldly.
"Why do you say that?" Xiao Lingyue was stunned.
"Come and take a look." Zhan Beihan raised the oil lamp in his hand and shone it on the other side of his side.
The naturally formed rock cave is not a straight path.
Affected by the mountain terrain, the deeper you go into the cave, the more you turn, there are all kinds of convex rocks, many blind spots and forks, and there are shadows everywhere that cannot be shone.
It is called a natural maze.
If it weren't for the fact that people often walked around and left obvious traces, the two of them might have lost their way in the cave.
Xiao Lingyue walked forward, looked in the direction of the oil lamp in Zhan Beihan's hand, and suddenly took a breath of air conditioning!
"hiss......"
The dim oil lamps fell, and the fire flashed and shone out on the narrow cracks of rocks on one side of the road.
As soon as the fire shone in, Xiao Lingyue saw the white and Sensian.
It's human bones!
Obviously, the body has been abandoned for a long time, and the flesh has long disappeared, leaving only broken bones.
Some of them were even crushed under the stone, and several incomplete skulls were stuck in the cracks of the rocks. As soon as the fire shone, some centipede-like little insects crawled out of the black eye sockets of the skull and disappeared quickly.
Xiao Lingyue looked ugly: "Are these bones..."
Those people who were captured and disappeared without a trace?
"You know medical skills. How long does it take for a corpse to turn into bones?" Zhan Beihan suddenly asked.
Xiao Lingyue was stunned and whispered: "This must be distinguished according to different situations. The corpse is buried in the soil, exposed to the air, or in a cold and humid place, and the speed of turning into bones is different."
"The corruption rate of buried in the soil is usually about two months, and exposed to the air, which is about one month, but if it is in a cold and humid place and is disturbed by the environment, the corruption rate will not be from three months to several years.
Wait, some are not even corrupt all year round.”
She looked at the surrounding rocky environment and said in a voice: "There are rocks everywhere here, which are ventilated and dry, and there are not many rotten insects. It will take at least half a year to completely turn into bones."
Medical knowledge is similar in many aspects, and many forensic doctors change careers directly from surgeons.
Therefore, Xiao Lingyue is not unfamiliar with this.
"These bones are already a little yellow and brittle, and are not complete. It is estimated that these people have died here for several years."
Zhan Beihan narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "The changes in Hulang Mountain's actions have happened, almost a few years ago."
"What do you mean is that these bones may be the first victims?" Xiao Lingyue said suddenly, "The bandits captured them up the mountain to dig secretly. After the person died, they threw them into the cracks of the rocks?"
Zhan Beihan: "Yes." Popular 『』 This chapter has been completed!
