38. Disappear into thin air
After hanging up the phone, Xin Pet and Ye Shichao glanced at each other, and they both read the excitement in each other's eyes, Xin Pet suddenly smiled: "It's amazing, I actually know what you're thinking." ”
"Because we're thinking the same thing. Ye Shichao pointed to the small supermarket, "Go buy instant noodles? I haven't accepted the poison of junk food for a long time." He held out a hand to her, "Pretending to be a couple is more conducive to surveillance." ”
Xin Pet took his hand by the way, and his heart was about to bubble. Where do they use pretence, just looking at her expression and eyes, it is more real than a real couple.
The two held hands and walked into the small supermarket, the shop is not big, and several rows of shelves are lined with department stores that tourists are accustomed to, but the most are snacks. On the right hand side of the door, there is a half-man-high glass cabinet with some souvenirs, and a table is placed next to it, which is supposed to be the cash register, and the owner of the small supermarket sits in it, playing landlord on an old-fashioned computer.
The boss was in his early sixties, with a few gray hairs left, wearing reading glasses, and he didn't raise his head when people came in, and asked, "What to buy?"
Xin Pet looked around: "Where are the instant noodles and ham sausages?"
The boss pointed to the shelves in the back row, and Xin Pet dragged Ye Shichao over there, and looked at all the shelves by the way. This small supermarket is really not big, at most a dozen square meters, in addition to the shelves, there are also large boxes piled up in the corners, and there is nothing else. Some years the white brick walls are sturdy to the touch, not to mention the back door, not even a window.
Xin Pet chose instant noodles slowly, Ye Shichao touched along the root of the wall, turned back and shook his head at her, the two did not speak, took two buckets of instant noodles, a bag of ham sausages, and asked the boss to boil water.
The boss pushed his reading glasses, still didn't raise his head, and pointed to the counter next to him, "It's just burned, and one person will pay for boiling water." ”
Xin Pet pretended to mutter: "Boiling water also costs money?"
The boss was expressionless, "The water is pulled up by yourself, and it costs electricity to boil water, so it's cheap." ”
Xin Pet pouted and didn't speak, and Ye Shichao paid. The two of them carried the kettle to the stone table outside and sat down, soaked the instant noodles, and sat together waiting for the noodles to be soaked.
Xin Pet: "The space inside is so small, and there is no back door or anything...... Are we overthinking?"
Ye Shichao: "Where you can see it, it's okay, and where you can't see it, there's no problem." ”
Xin Pet frowned and recalled the space of the small shop, it was indeed very simple and clear at a glance, where could things be hidden? Thinking so, he hooked his head and looked inside, and immediately jumped in panic when he saw it, rushed into the small supermarket, looked for it inside and out, and shouted when he came out to rush to Ye: "The people are gone! There must be a secret passage in this store." ”
Ye Shichao frowned, and the two of them frowned and walked around the store again, still finding nothing.
At this time, there was the sound of a car engine outside, and Lao Qiu walked in with two criminal policemen, and when he saw Xin Pet and Ye Shichao, he wondered, "Just the two of you, what about Singh?"
"In Sanjin. Xin Pet replied, and came over to greet Lao Qiu enthusiastically, there are many people with great strength, not to mention that he is an experienced old criminal policeman, but it is much better than her and Ye Shichao wandering around here, "It's great that Captain Qiu can come." ”
Lao Qiu was not happy at all, and his thick eyebrows were crossed, "Singh, the king of eight calves, didn't he say that he had discovered a big case?
"Don't worry, don't worry. Xin Pet explained to him from the beginning, "Captain Qiu must know about the case of the carrion jumping off the cliff yesterday, my brother and I acted separately, my brother went to Sanjin City to track down the source of the corpse, and Dr. Ye and I tracked down the corpse thrower." Then the suspected truck driver of the corpse dumper was found, and the monitoring found that in the past month, these drivers have unloaded a total of three or four suspicious goods to this small supermarket, and the monitoring can see that it is such a tall and long long wooden box. "After unloading, it will be picked up in a few days or that night." ”
Lao Qiu listened to Xin Pet's description, looked at the long box she gestured, and his face became more and more serious, "You go on......"
"We deduced that the day of the body was November 2nd, and on that day, the surveillance camera captured the group carrying two boxes into the shop, one was transported away, and the other was not out of the shop. Dr. Ye and I were guarding the door of this small supermarket, and the owner definitely didn't go out, just disappeared into thin air in this shop. ”
The two criminal policemen behind Lao Qiu also heard something unusual, and whispered in Lao Qiu's ear: "Captain, it sounds like we've been tracking down that group of people for two years." ”
"If that's the guy, we're going to set off firecrackers. ”
Lao Qiu turned around and kicked the big bull's eye, "Why are you stunned? This shop must have a famous name, a secret way, a secret grid, and a secret door...... I'm going to have to find people out.
Several people turned over the goods on the shelves one by one, the shelves were also moved, and the cardboard boxes piled up in the corners of the walls were all pushed away without exception, and the walls were touched and touched, but they still didn't find anything.
Ye Shichaoyang finally set his eyes on the cashier area where the store owner was sitting, pulled out the computer chair, moved the computer desk, squatted down, and knocked on the ground, it was not empty. He turned to move the glass container, but the container was so heavy that he couldn't push it open, Xin Pet and Lao Qiu also came to help, and they couldn't move it even after a lot of effort, and it seemed to be welded to the ground.
Ye Shichao stopped and began to try to slowly move the wooden plank behind the container, this move, the wooden board was actually removed, and the whole piece was removed, revealing a hole the same size as the container inside.
Only then did everyone realize that the container was empty at all, but it was surrounded by glass, and the use was a visual illusion, which made people think that there was a lot of space in the cabinet, but in fact, only a small piece in front of it was placed with souvenirs, and all the other spaces were used for the entrance to the cave.
Found the cave, Lao Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, patted his bare head, and smiled happily at Ye Shichao: "Dr. Ye, if you can really help us catch this gang of bastards who dig graves and sell corpses, Lao Qiu, I will invite you to a big meal." ”
