Walking here, it is like walking on the road to the lair of the old demon of Montenegro, which is quite eerie and terrifying.

Because this place is located in a mountainous area, the road is also uneven, sometimes up the mountain, sometimes down the mountain, the walk is very hard.

After walking less than five miles, Shen Yuanzhu was already sweating on his head, his legs were weak, and his feet hurt from grinding his high heels. Li Rui saw that her pace slowed down, and said, "Director Shen, why don't you sit on the stone next to you and rest for a while, and I'll walk forward and come back." I don't think it's possible to find anything. Shen Yuanzhu was not reluctant, and said: "Okay, then I'll rest for a while, and you don't go too far." ”

Li Rui smiled at her and continued to move forward, wondering in his heart that before the two reporters disappeared, they were going to secretly interview the workers in the mine, but how could they find the miners?

Last night, Shen Yuanzhu said very reasonably, the two did not dare to enter the coal mine as reporters to find people, but they could pretend to be passers-by and the boss of the coal business. But the problem is, all the workers in the mine are busy, who has time to talk to them? Even if they talk and chat, how can they talk about the mine disaster in the mine? Besides, there are so many fierce and vicious security guards in the mine, even if they can get in, they will be watched, how dare they talk about things that are not good for themselves?

Thinking of this, he stopped, looked at the high fence and shook his head, it seems that the two reporters definitely did not get involved in the coal mine, that is, they were not arrested in the coal mine.

At this moment, a half-grown boy, fourteen or fifteen years old, flat-headed, wearing dirty clothes, carrying a dark black pocket on his shoulder, suddenly appeared on the hillside in front of him, and ran sneakily down the mountain.

Li Rui beckoned: "Little brother......" The kid was about to run towards him, but when he saw him waving, he stopped and didn't dare to move forward. Li Rui smiled and said, "Little brother, I'll ask you about something." The kid said in a strong mountain accent: "What do you want to inquire?" Li Rui smiled: "Are you familiar with this coal mine?" The kid said proudly: "Familiar, of course familiar, my house is at the bottom of the mountain, can I not be familiar?" Li Rui asked: "Then let me ask you, have you played in the coal mine these days?" The kid nodded. Li Rui said: "Then have you ever seen two people? A man and a woman, the man is about the same age as me, and the woman is younger, with braids and looks very beautiful......

Before he could finish speaking, the kid nodded again and again, and said, "I've seen it, that sister is very beautiful, and she gave me chocolate to eat." ”

Li Rui originally just asked casually, and didn't have any hope, and planned to go home after getting a negative answer, who knew that this kid had really seen the two of them, he was really overjoyed, and ran over quickly. The boy was frightened and turned to run, but the sack on his shoulder was so heavy that he couldn't run fast. Li Rui said while chasing: "Little brother, don't run, I just have something to ask you, I don't mean anything else." You answer my question, I give you money to buy chocolate, you can buy as much as you want. The boy was overjoyed, turned to a halt, threw the sack on the ground, and said, "Really, don't lie to me." ”

When the sack hit the ground, the mouth of the sack opened, revealing lumps of coal.

Li Rui glanced at it and said with a smile: "Okay, little brother, are you stealing coal from the coal mine?" The kid said loudly: "Yes, what's the matter, all of us here do this." My dad said that this is called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on coal to eat coal. Li Rui smiled, took out his wallet, took out a hundred-yuan bill from it, handed it over, and said, "Little brother, as long as you answer my question well, this is the reward I give you." The kid saw that Qian was open-eyed, stretched out his tongue and licked his mouth, took it with a smile, looked at it carefully, looked at the watermark in the sun, carefully folded it and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and said, "Big brother, you ask, I will tell you what you want to know." ”

Li Rui was in a very happy mood, and asked with a smile, "What is your name?" The kid said, "Sun Xiaoguang, you can just call me Xiaoguang." Li Rui nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaoguang, let's talk about that beautiful sister." Where did you see her? when?" Sun Xiaoguang scratched his scalp, thought carefully, and said, "A few days ago, I don't remember what time it was. At that time, it was also the end of the day, and they were walking on the road outside the coal mine wall just like you, and I had just stolen coal, and they stopped me. Li Ruixi said: "Then, what did they stop you and ask?" Sun Xiaoguang said: "Ask me...... When asked if I knew about the mining accident that happened last year, I said I didn't know. They asked me again if I knew of the dead, and I said I didn't, and I knew that there was a time when there were suddenly many graves in the field, but I didn't see any dead people for a few days, and I was very depressed. ”

Li Rui couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Why are you half a big kid depressed?" Sun Xiaoguang said with a smile: "If there is a funeral and a funeral is done at home, I can follow the flowing water banquet." Li Rui couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Go on, what else did they tell you." Sun Xiaoguang thought for a while and said, "You also asked me if I knew the nearby miners." I said yes, I knew a lot when I was stealing coal. That sister asked me to help her find a few acquaintances, how dare I, good guy, I know them knowing, but if they catch me, I have to beat me to death, so I don't be stupid. ”

Li Rui laughed and said, "Then what?" Sun Xiaoguang said: "Then the sister asked me how the coal was stolen and gave me chocolate, and I told them that they got into it from the dog hole." The sister told me to take them there, and I took them over to see them. Then I left, and I haven't seen them since. Li Rui was shocked, could it be that the two reporters saw that they couldn't get in from the main gate of the coal mine, so they found another way and followed Sun Xiaoguang's example to drill into the mining area from the dog hole? Let's go. ”

Sun Xiaoguang took Li Rui to climb the hillside, and then went down from the other side, always walking on the periphery of the wall, walking 100 meters, and came to a high ridge where mountains meet.

Sun Xiaoguang stopped and said, "This is it." Li Rui looked at it fixedly, and saw that there was a soil hole the size of a laundry basin under the wall in front of him, squatted to the mouth of the soil hole, and saw that it was very deep and wide, and saw that the trend was leading through the high wall to the mining area, and asked in surprise: "Can this be drilled in?" Sun Xiaoguang said: "You look small, but the inside is big, it's no problem to drill in, I don't believe you try." ”

Li Rui didn't say anything, but carefully observed the side of the cave entrance, and saw that the footprints around him were quite mixed, and the shoe prints of one of the tourist shoes, tried with his own shoes, and they were even bigger than his own, were they left by the male reporter Lu Hai? In addition, he saw a delicate shoe print, which should have been left by the female reporter.

"These two people are too bold, if it were me, they would never dare to get in. ”

Li Rui sighed secretly and asked Sun Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, where can I go in here?" Sun Xiaoguang said: "Through the coal pile, hehe, no one is watching, you can steal it if you go in, take it casually." Li Ruiqi said: "You always come in and go out to steal coal, and you have been discovered, why no one has blocked this dog hole?" Sun Xiaoguang smiled proudly: "Why is no one blocking it, someone always buries it with soil, and a few of our partners dig it up for him every time." ”

Li Rui nodded, and secretly scolded the two reporters for being confused, this kind of self-throwing move, how can two people get in together, at least one person has to stay outside to sentry, even if something happens, there is room for maneuver, alas, this reporter is really inexperienced. Suddenly, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of a chocolate wrapper in the root of the wall, and hurriedly walked over to pick it up, saying, "Is this what you eat?" Sun Xiaoguang shook his head and said, "No, I ate it at home, but this one is the same as mine." Li Rui understood that this was what Zhuang Haixia had eaten.

"Hi...... What are you doing?" Shen Yuanzhu's shout suddenly sounded not far away.

Li Rui followed the prestige, and saw Shen Yuanzhu appear on the road opposite his position, dozens of meters away, so he made a silent gesture to her, beckoned her over, and asked Sun Xiaoguang to leave.

Shen Yuanzhu glanced at Sun Xiaoguang curiously, came to Li Rui, and said, "What are you doing?" Li Rui said in a low voice: "Speak quietly, I found a major clue, haha, hahaha." Shen Yuanzhu couldn't help but laugh when he saw that he was so happy that he picked up five million, and said, "What did you find?" Li Rui pointed to the entrance of the cave and said: "Two missing reporters have been here, and I estimate that the two were accidentally caught after drilling into the coal mine." Shen Yuanzhu was surprised and delighted, looked at the dog cave and asked, "Is it true?" Li Rui said, "Well, it's very likely." That kid saw two reporters that day just now, Zhuang Haixia heard that there was a dog hole here that could lead to the coal mine, and specially asked him to bring the two of them over, it is estimated that she wanted to go in and find out. ”

Shen Yuanzhu said excitedly: "Then what should we do? Go back and tell Director Ji?" Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Don't want it yet." After all, this is just my wishful thinking, and no one knows whether Zhuang Haixia and the others got into it. Besides, what if Director Ji heard about this incident and brought a large group of people over and startled the snake? Let me go in and explore the truth first. Shen Yuanzhu shouted: "Ah, you want to go in too?" Li Rui smiled: "Don't worry, I'm not those two stupid reporters, and I'm not so easy to bully." Also, I have a best partner, which is what they lack. ”

Shen Yuanzhu smiled embarrassedly and said: "Don't expect me, don't look at me wearing a police uniform on weekdays to scare people, that can only scare and scare the people, if you really run into the master, I can't afford to provoke it, I have to run away." ”
