When Sawyer and Jim were on their way back to the wooden house with guns, Lu Qingxuan and others from the wooden house were also conducting a thorough survey of the wooden house...

Originally. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoLu Qingxuan, like everyone else, was extremely surprised that an artificial building had been erected in this valley surrounded by mountains, and at the same time, it also touched his olfactory nerves as a special police officer.

After he waited for Qian Chong to finish eating, he asked, "Mr. Qian, what are your plans for next?" ”

Qian Chong naturally had his own considerations, but he first considered that he was one of the members of the 'leading group' after all, and he had to listen to the suggestions of others in a tolerant manner. He smiled and said to Lu Qingxuan: "Our team is currently getting a temporary respite, and then of course we have to find a way to get out of here." So, I'd like to convene another meeting of the leadership group and hope that everyone will have their opinions. ”

Lu Qingxuan nodded: "Okay, then let's discuss it quickly." ”

Qian Chong saw that everyone had finished breakfast, although they didn't fill their stomachs, but many people's mental state was already in good spirits, and they were by no means as sluggish as yesterday morning. He knew that since he found this wooden house, not only himself, but also the members of this tour group, were full of confidence that they could get out of this valley.

His eyes finally fell on the old man, and he found that after he had finished eating, he was walking around the open plastic buckets that Tilis had given him, using the cane that Tilis had given him. Seems to be interested in those things.

Qian Chong immediately shouted at him: "Uncle, can you come over for a moment?" Let's have another meeting and discuss what to do next, shall we? ”

The old man obviously had something to say, and immediately nodded, "Okay! ”

When the old man approached, Qian Chong, in addition to the trio and Lu Qingxuan, beckoned Lian Mao, the black-faced man and others to come over together. After all, through the test of this time, they are absolutely trustworthy and are already the backbone of this tour group.

Of course, there were other tourists who came spontaneously, and although they did not express their opinions, they also listened to some of the content of the meeting.

Because the communication is in Mandarin, the local tourists can only scatter around, because they can't understand the 'heavenly book' spoken by the foreigners.

The same was true of Bron and Chawan, and after exchanging glances, they went straight to the hut...

Qian Chong's eyes noticed the two of them, so he was a little relieved, and immediately said to the man in yellow: "Those two dangerous elements have entered the house, please go in too, you must pay attention to their every move." ”

The man in yellow was very grateful to Qian Chong for his trust, and readily agreed: "Okay! ”

Unexpectedly, Lu Qingxuan suddenly waved his hand and said, "No!" ”

Just when Qian Chong and the others were surprised, he shouted in English to Bulon and the others who had already entered the wooden house: "Those two gentlemen, please come out first." At this time, no one is allowed to enter the cabin. We still have a lot of work to do! ”

As soon as Bulon and Chawang entered the wooden house, they were stopped by Lu Qingxuan. Because the middle-aged man had already moved in with a tall woman. But Lu Qingxuan prevented them from entering, which was naturally very embarrassing, but they knew that they were already the target of everyone, how could they dare to disobey? The two of them had no choice but to walk out in a huff.

Qian Chong was surprised by Lu Qingxuan's actions, and couldn't help asking, "Officer Lu, why are you doing this?" We'll just send someone to keep an eye on them. ”

Lu Qingxuan explained: "I'm not worried about any misdeeds of the two of them now, after all, they still rely on us." However, I think a thorough survey of the cabin may give you a clue as to the owner of the cabin. ”

Qian Chong suddenly realized, after all, he is a policeman, and he has always been curious and vigilant about some strange and suspicious things.

He immediately chimed in: "Officer Lu is right, although we have been staying here for one night, we have never inspected this place in detail, and the owner of the wooden house is indeed something we urgently need to know. You're a police officer, and you might be able to spot some clues from the cabin. ”

After hearing this, Shen Junru said to Lu Qingxuan: "Then you can go in and have a good look now, right?" ”

Lu Qingxuan shook his head: "Don't be in a hurry now, let's wait for the meeting to finish, let's go in a few more people!" ”

Qian Chong didn't want to waste any more time, so he said: "Okay, let's discuss it briefly, and we will be able to finish this meeting soon." ”

At this time, he first stopped his gaze on the old man: "Uncle, do you have any high opinions based on the situation at the scene?" ”

The old man was not polite either, and immediately replied, "I think there may be a secret tunnel to the outside world in this valley. Therefore, we need to organize more forces to find its entrance! ”

Tilis was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "Why did the old gentleman say that?" Although we know that there must be a passage to the outside world, can't it be a mountain road? ”

The old man shook his head resolutely: "No! Have you seen the big items like plastic buckets and iron pots? They are not very heavy, but they are too large, and how difficult it would be to transport them from outside the valley by mountain roads. Besides, according to our visual observations, the mountains on all sides are very steep, and it is difficult for people to go up and down gentle slopes. So, if you can't find a hidden canyon, there must be a tunnel. Of course, judging from the scene, the probability of having a canyon is not very high. ”

Qian Chong nodded: "I agree with the old man." Because, during our search yesterday, we found that the confluence of the mountains on both sides is like a whole, and there is no trace of overlapping mountains and dislocations at all. Therefore, the possibility of a canyon can be basically ruled out. When I gathered everyone, I discussed how to assign several groups of people to survey one by one along the foot of the mountain, and if you search carefully, you will definitely find the exit. ”

Shen Junru agreed with Qian Chong's opinion very much, and immediately echoed: "Okay, what are we waiting for?" Dispatch people to search! ”

Qian Chong nodded and said, "Sending search personnel again this time is completely different from last time." Last time, we had just descended into this valley, and everyone was blinded and hungry. Now we all have food to eat. In addition, there is still a small amount of rice left in the iron pot. I'm going to give them back to the people who go out to find their way. After all, going out to find the entrance to a tunnel is physically demanding. ”

The man who threw the roast chicken immediately raised his hand and said, "Okay, that brother and I will be in another group, and we will never give up until we find the exit!" ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the man in yellow again.

The man in yellow nodded at him, agreeing with his words.

At this time, the black-faced man also said: "I returned in vain last time and betrayed everyone's trust." So, this time I'm going to take part in the action. ”

Qian Chong looked at him, then at the bearded man, and then said, "In order to get to the entrance of the cave as soon as possible." We have to organize more forces to go out and search this time. But we don't have a lot of young men in our team. And there are dangerous elements. So, although the two of you worked hard all night last night, you are still the main force to go out to find your way today. That's why I let you two eat more than the others. ”

Even the bearded man generously said, "I'm fine!" ”

Tilis also said, "I don't think this valley is very large. The distance between the left and right is visible by sight, but it is only three or four kilometers, and the front and back are no more than ten kilometers. We women can also participate in the action! ”

Unexpectedly, Qian Chong shook his head again and again and said: "It's better for women to stay here, even if they go out, they have to form a group with men." Also, the number of people in each group should not be less than four. ”

Shen Junru was stunned: "Qian Chong, why is this?" ”

Qian Chong said with a solemn face: "Because of the owner of the wooden house!" ”

Qian Chong looked at the puzzled expressions of Shen Junru and the others, and further explained: "We have estimated that there are two owners of the wooden house. And, judging by the fact that they brought such things in from the outside world, they were still very strong men. If we send any group of people to encounter them, unpredictable consequences can occur. Therefore, the people we send out should also be stronger men, and moreover, we must maintain the superiority in numbers. ”

Tilis pondered as she asked, "How many people do you need for each group?" ”

Qian Chong replied: "There are no less than four people in each group, and one of your local people should be arranged!" ”

Tilis nodded: "Mr. Qian is very thoughtful. You are worried about the language barrier when you meet the owner of the cabin. So, each group needs to be paired with someone who understands our local language. ”

Qian Chong said helplessly: "The owner of the wooden house has always been a mystery to us. I already smell that they're not far away. Since they dare not show up, they must be dangerous people with evil intentions. We have to be well prepared! ”

When Lu Qingxuan heard this, he immediately said: "My shoulder injury has almost recovered, so let's participate in this operation as well." How many groups does Mr. Qian plan to divide into? ”

Qian Chong thought for a moment, and then replied: "Strive to divide into three groups!" If there are fewer groups, the probability of finding that tunnel entrance is reduced. If there are too many groups, we will lack enough reliable people. Moreover, we need enough people to stay in this new station. ”

Lu Qingxuan thought for a moment, and then said: "Okay, just follow Mr. Qian's opinion, I'll count one, and ask Tilis to pick two more locals." Except, of course, those two dangerous elements. ”

Tilis nodded, "Okay, that's fine. I'm going to do their work right away! ”

When the group work was carried out, Lu Qingxuan focused on the wooden house again. He then asked Qian Chong for his opinion: "Mr. Qian, before we go out to search, can you check the situation in the wooden house first?" ”

Qian Chong immediately nodded and said, "Okay, although I have a cursory observation of the situation inside, I don't understand the customs of the locals. I don't know much about some of the layouts inside. In the beginning, my goal was to work food. For the rest, all are ignored. ”

Lu Qingxuan waved his hand: "Then let's go in together, shall we?" ”

Qian Chong nodded and motioned for Lu Qingxuan to invite first, and he followed behind Lu Qingxuan.

Lu Qingxuan was also polite, and immediately took the lead in stepping into the outer room of the wooden house...

In this outhouse, the voice of the tall woman and the middle-aged man in the left room could be clearly heard, and when they heard the sound of footcloths coming from the outhouse, they lowered their voices.

Qian Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, knowing that the middle-aged man was coaxing the tall woman to be happy again. However, he could only act indifferent at this time.

Lu Qingxuan was obviously unaffected by the whispers coming from that bedroom. His spirit is focused on every detail of the outhouse...

Qian Chong was surprised to find that this Officer Lu was not an ordinary browsing. He didn't observe a single thing, and he did it all in detail. Just like investigating the scene of a crime, don't let go of any clues.

Since the walls of the wooden house are arranged by irregular purlins. Inevitably, there will be a lot of gaps. The owner of the wooden house made some simple decorations to the interior walls, which was to put a layer of plastic film on the interior walls. This will provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Lu Qingxuan carefully groped for the plastic film with his hand, as if he had a premonition that there was something valuable hidden in the mezzanine.

Qian Chong began to feel that Lu Qingxuan was making a bit of a fuss. But later, when I saw Lu Qingxuan's meticulous appearance, I couldn't help but be a little awe-struck. He believes that this is the quality that a professional police officer should have.

Lu Qingxuan searched the outhouse thoroughly, but found nothing.

Qian Chong opened his mouth at this time: "Officer Lu, I don't think there will be any secrets in this wooden house, right?" ”

Lu Qingxuan thought for a moment, and then replied: "There is no electricity and no water here, if someone lives here for a long time, it is even more uncomfortable than being in prison." Since the owner of the wooden house is a very healthy person, how can he live here with peace of mind? They're not doing it as simple as 'taking refuge', are they? ”

Qian Chong was puzzled: "Do they have any other purpose besides taking refuge?" ”

Lu Qingxuan explained: "If it is a refuge, they can also hide in the outside world!" Haven't you heard of the ancient Chinese saying, 'The small is hidden in the forest, and the big is hidden in the city'? Even if they are hiding in the vast flow of people outside. What's so hard about it? Besides, they often go to the outside world to buy food, it's not that they don't know about the outside world, right? ”

Qian Chong's eyes lit up: "Do you think there will be hidden treasures here?" ”

Lu Qingxuan's expression was still very solemn and said: "It's hard to say. But since they are willing to wait here, or even go out and return together, it means that they live here, and they must have the thoughts they hope for! ”

By this time, he had finished surveying the outhouse, because there were tall women and middle-aged men in the left room. He walked into the right room.

This bedroom is where Qian Chong and Shen Junru stayed last night. Qian Chong also immediately followed up...

There was very little furnishings in the bedroom other than a bed.

Lu Qingxuan groped for the wall again...

Then, he leaned under the bed to observe...

Under the bed, it is paved with some stone slabs, and those stone slabs are relatively smooth, and at first glance they are processed.

Lu Qingxuan turned around and looked at the floor in other parts of the house, in addition to some places paved with stone slabs, there was also a part of the bare earth.

Lu Qingxuan suddenly had an idea, and immediately instructed Qian Chong: "Please help, let's move this bed!" ”

Qian Chong was surprised: "There's nothing under the bed, what are you moving it for?" ”

"I want to pry open the slate under the bed!"

"Do you think there's something buried under the slate?"

Lu Qingxuan asked, "Mr. Qian, didn't you see that these stone slabs were laboriously transported in by the owner of the wooden house from outside the valley?" ”

Qian Chong nodded: "Yes, because the owner of the wooden house couldn't find something suitable for paving, so he brought in some thin marble slabs from the outside world." ”

Lu Qingxuan questioned again: "But the stone slabs they brought in are very limited, and it is estimated that they are too laborious." But the other prominent places in the house were not completely covered with slates, and under the bed in the bedroom, why did they waste slate in this dark corner? ”

Qian Chong also felt very strange in the face of Lu Qingxuan's question, and immediately agreed to Lu Qingxuan's suggestion.

Together, they lifted the large wooden bed to the other corner of the bedroom.

Lu Qingxuan returned to the outhouse and quickly came back with the kitchen knife.

He first used the iron handle of the kitchen knife to hit the stone slab one by one...

Suddenly, he felt something strange in one of the stone slabs, and immediately inserted the blade of the kitchen knife into the gap between the stone slabs, and carefully and slowly pried it up.

The slate was suddenly pried up...

Qian Chong hurriedly reached out to help and assisted Lu Qingxuan in removing the stone slab...

When they looked down again, they were dumbfounded!
