As soon as his hand was retracted, the phone rang.
He answered the phone, and it was Jones Medi calling.
"Head, great discovery! Hurry to church. β
"Big discovery, big discovery?"
"Here, you'll know!"
Wang Dengming didn't care about what Feng Ge Lilong told him just now, so he hurriedly put on his police hat and left the police station.
When he arrived, Father Mohan was already waiting at the door of the church.
"Jones Medi said she had made a big discovery, and it wasn't going to be a litter of weasels, right?"
"No, no, sheriff, it's not a litter of weasels, it's a litter of dead human bones. β
"Dead man's bones?"
"Yes, it's scary, God, forgive me, if it weren't for Jones Medi, I wouldn't have known there was a basement at the back of the church. β
"Basement?"
"Yes, Sheriff, come with me, Jones Medi, Garcia is waiting for you down there. β
"Okay, does anyone know at this point?"
"I'm afraid of causing unnecessary panic, I didn't tell the other pastors of the church, but at the moment I, you, Jones Medi, Garcia know. β
"Good. β
The church in the town, the priest said that it was built a hundred years ago, in the eighties of the last century, it was expanded, the original old church, the scale was very small, it was idle, and it was a wooden structure, and it was a long time, and there were termites, and after reconstruction, it became the back garden of the current church, the utility room.
Wang Dengming walked through the church and came to the backyard of the church.
It was the first time he had entered this courtyard, and under the shade of a few large trees, the houses here looked very quaint, but not modern, with a lot of flowers in the backyard, and decorated bonsai, where the priest and several other priests of the church lived.
The flowers have withered during the season, and the big trees in the yard have begun to shed their leaves, but the two evergreens still look vibrant.
Behind the two evergreen trees is the site of the original church, which is now used for scriptures and other books.
After Wang Dengming entered, he found that there was a big hole in the innermost part of the house, next to the stone wall, and next to the entrance was stone bricks and wooden boards.
Wang Deng Ming Dynasty looked down, there were actually stone steps made of black stones!
The stone steps look very deep, leading to the underground, and the wind gusts in the wind, making people feel cold and panicked.
"This...."
Jones Medi chased the weasel all the way here, and when he saw a hole in the corner of the wall, he struck it with an iron rod, and who knows, when he pried it, it collapsed. β
"What about them?"
"Sheriff, they're down there, they're going in with flashlights. β
"And a flashlight?"
"Yes, you come with me. β
The priest was in front and Wang Dengming was behind, and they went to the basement until they no longer went down, and Wang Dengming said that there were one hundred and twenty stone steps, and the stone steps turned a corner in the middle.
The inside of the stone steps is full of blue and black stone bricks, and the air here is cold, suffocating, and smells bad and damp.
After going down the stone steps and moving forward, Wang Dengming found that this was a natural stone cave, the highest part of the cave, about seven or eight meters, and the widest part about fifteen meters.
The length of the cave is about 100 meters.
At the end of the cave, he saw a bright light.
"Head, is that you?"
Jones Medi's voice came.
"Yes. β
Wang Dengming walked over, Jones Medi, and Garcia were standing in a circular space, flashlights shining on the ground.
Wang Dengming just glanced at it, and he felt creepy, in this circular space, there were dead people's bones everywhere.
Jones Medi said, "I counted, and there were seventeen victims. β
Garcia handed over a sword and said, "Sir, look, I found several swords, and this is one of them. β
With the long sword in his hand and the severe corrosion, I can't tell what age it is, Jones Medi handed over an iron lump and said, "This is a gun, a musket from the cowboy era, and we found twelve such muskets." β
Wang Dengming took the musket and found that the gun had decayed and only the outline of a gun remained.
"Head, who are these people?"
Wang Dengming squatted down, looked at it for a while, and said: "These bones are about to rot, it must have been a long, long time, but this musket can tell us about the approximate time when this time happened."
Garcia said: "Sir, how do you explain these swords?"
"Well, it seems that this thing and the musket are not the product of the same era, and it is indeed a little puzzling, so put it away first. β
"Chief, it's not important, come and see. β
Jones Medi led Wang Dengming to the right side of the circular space, and he found that there was a heavy stone door, about two meters long and wide, with some strange symbols and images carved on the stone door. It's been a long time, and these things on it are also corroded by the humid air, so you can only see a rough idea.
"There are the most skeletons in front of the stone door, heads, are these people thinking about opening this door before they die?"
"I thought, yes, but they didn't open the door, they all died here. β
The priest said, "God, who imprisoned them here? It's terrible, you see, how helpless and lonely these people were. β
Wang Dengming squatted in front of the stone gate, holding the stone crack hard, the stone gate did not move at all, and Garcia also stepped forward to help, but to no avail.
Wang Dengming gave up and said, "If we know what is in the stone gate, I think it will have a great effect on our judgment." β
The priest asked, "Then how can this stone door be opened?"
Jones Medi said: "When I watch your Chinese movies, whenever there is such a scene, it should be organized, inside, will it be like a movie, shoot arrows, knives or something?"
Wang Dengming said with a smile: "It's hard to say, ignore this stone gate first, take a look, what else can be found, be careful." β
As a result, they found in the pile of dead people, some buttons, pocket watches, daggers, and so on, all of which were rotten and unpresent, and it was clear that they were all left over from the corpses, and as for the clothes that these people wore before they died, there were only wisps of pasty and disgusting things, and the original shape could be seen, and the boots on their feet, which were made of leather.
After the three of them collected all the valuable evidence that they could collect, they made sure that there were no more valuable clues, and then they left the basement.
When they were out of the basement, Jones Medi looked up in the direction of the sun, half-closed her eyes and said, "I finally realized why the sun is so great!"
"Jones, we still have a lot of work to do, to get Cardinray. β
"Yes, sir. β
