Chapter 25: Exploring the Black Mountain Cave at Night

Once a major situation happens, the most unbearable thing is the sound of gunshots, which is particularly sensitive, and can stimulate your nerves at once! Immediately after that, "Bah, Bah" two more gunshots! Judging from the direction of the gunshot, Lao Balu could accurately judge that the gunshot was in the direction of the cave where Li Changji was, and the gunshot was shot in the chase between each other!

Who's chasing whom? What would have happened there? Is there any necessary connection? Judging by the time of Li Changji's disappearance, did he and the people who rescued him flee there, and someone found them, and the two sides were shooting at each other? What are they going to do there? Could there be some secrets hidden in this? If so, what is the secret?

Lao Balu's brain is spinning rapidly, and things are becoming more and more confusing! According to Xiao Zhuge , when the stone cover was opened, there were several people, only Li Changji jumped down, and the others were shot back by a dense stream of bullets before they could jump down! Who are those people? The person who can be with Li Changji must be the most important person, and no one knows about this cave, except for Li Changji, who knows the entrance of this cave, he is a spy of the Kuomintang. This is confirmed! The two spies who were caught had already committed suicide by poisoning, and during the interrogation of the bandits, they said that there were three spies on the mountain, and the missing one must be a special agent! The commissioner caught two of them after they were scattered by bullets, so where did he go? Who else will be among them? There was no him in the corpse, there was no one among the prisoners, no one was found when the cave was searched, and there were so many people present at the time, the probability of escaping from the cave was almost zero, it was simply impossible! So where did he hide? There must be something greasy in this!

At this time, the party representative said, "Old secretary, how do you say to arrange it, don't waste time."

Lao Balu said to the herald who had just returned, in which direction did the disappeared figure run?

Southwest to Panjiagou.

A plan to turn the tiger away from the mountain! Lao Balu thought, the gunfire just now was in the direction of the Black Mountain Cave, but the man fled to Panjiagou, a typical tiger leaving the mountain!

Let's do this, Lao Balu said to the party representative again, you wait for the results of the investigation personnel after the return of the command headquarters, see what the situation is, I will go to the Black Mountain Cave to see, after saying that, he ordered the militia to go and get a torch. The party representative said, you go yourself? Well, I'll just go myself. The party representative said, "That's not going to work, it's too dangerous, you can't make a mistake, let the militia go with you." Lao Balu said, there are so many people that things are delayed, and now it is different from the previous bandit den, just a few of them, I can't help it! It's not early, after you wait for the investigators to report, there is nothing to do, except for the militia cadres who stayed behind, let's all go home early to rest, there is still a lot of work waiting for us tomorrow; Li Changji's disappearance must not be contained, I am afraid that after the people know the news, they will come to the headquarters to hold them accountable, if I can't come, you must do a good job of appeasing and explaining, don't expand the matter, remember! In addition, the militia of each village should do a good job of patrolling and performing duties at night, and they must be vigilant every two hours, and they must not be careless! That's it, I'm going!

Lao Balu was just about to leave, and suddenly someone came back to report, reporting to the old secretary, when the militia was investigating in the cave, they found two corpses of the militiamen!

Corpse? The corpses of the militia?

Azimuth!

Li Jiahezi!

Everyone quickly returned to the command room and came to the map to check the specific location. This is the choke point leading to the four directions, and from the tunnel, it is a meeting place that extends in all directions.

Why would these two militiamen die here? Mole? Traitor? Enemy agents hiding within us? Or is it a tool used by the agents?

At this moment, another urgent report came to report to the old secretary that two more militia bodies were found in the tunnel leading to the Black Mountain Cave!

Lao Balu hurriedly checked the terrain, and Lao Balu began to imagine the scene under the tunnel, this must be the road map for those people to rescue Li Changji and escape to the Black Mountain Cave! The two people who died in the Li family must have been killed by that black shadow, in order to divert the pursuing militia and leave enough time for the group to rescue Li Changji, he was forced to kill the two used militiamen around him who were not his own people, and fled in another direction to divert his attention, which was his motive! And the two militiamen who died in the Black Mountain Cave must be this group of people who killed people, because they no longer have any value to use! Once arrested, these two men will surely reveal a lot of secrets! Yes, it must be so!

The gunshots that rang out in the direction of the Black Mountain Cave just now, it must have been that group of people who fled there and met their opponents, forming a shootout! Such an inference should not be wrong!

Lao Balu said, no, I have to leave quickly, there is no time! Party representatives, you can handle the matter here!

The party representative said, if you don't come back at dawn, won't the public trial meeting that the old leader said during the day be held?

Lao Balu's heart immediately chuckled again! By the way, how did you forget about it! Open, must open, the public trial of the bandit leader and the second leader of Fengheling, this is the task assigned by the old leader, and it must be carried out!

Lao Balu was just about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly remembered another thing, and said to the party representative that Li Changji's second boss and all the people standing beside him at that time should be arrested, interrogated by surprise, and strictly guarded, but they did not tell the truth! Be quick!

They didn't tell the truth? Everyone was puzzled!

The old eight roads turned around and disappeared into the night!

In the starry night, the crescent moon appears and disappears, and it occasionally hides and occasionally peeks into the earth, looking very cunning and nervous at the same time. It is known that the moon is round, but why should the other half of the body be hidden so tightly? Whoever sees people with one eye must have an ulterior conspiracy! The breeze is slightly chilly, but not biting, it is slowly penetrating, through your clothes, to your skin, it will gradually penetrate into your body, this silent conspiracy is the most terrifying! Lao Balu couldn't help but sneeze! Yes, I haven't eaten a full meal in days, I haven't slept a peaceful night's sleep, and even if I fall asleep, my mind is full of things, and there is no moment of peace!

The towering and majestic Taihang Mountains, standing at its feet, seem too small and insignificant; It is telling the vicissitudes of the world in its own unique language, telling one story after another from ancient times to the present! The grass all over the mountains clings to it, the towering trees are rooted in it, and the rocks are tightly embedded in its body, quietly, silently listening, and at the same time murmuring; The wind swept through the branches, making a subtle whistle, and it kept sending its sound far away, into the still, dark night......

Lao Balu swam his body quickly, he didn't dare to light the torch, even so, he always felt that there were several pairs of eyes staring at him behind him; He knew the motive of the eyes behind the Dao, that murderous aura was scorching, and he knew that somewhere, at any time, there would be that piercing sound that resounded through the valley! Lao Balu held the gun in his hand, and the torch was used as a crutch, walking as fast as a fly......

When the Black Mountain Cave arrived, Lao Balu closed his eyes and listened attentively to the movements around him, he did not dare to enter the cave rashly, so that he knew it in his heart, and he was eighty or ninety percent sure in order to implement his plan; He knows in his heart that the opponent is by no means an idle person, but every move he shows is also giving the other party a signal to the releaser, no one dares to act rashly, the duel of the master is in the subtle changes, although one is in the light, the other is in the dark, but for such a contest, there is no clear and dark, the odds will be tilted at any time, and it will not be easy to shoot unless it is absolutely necessary!

Lao Balu decided to go in, and he slowly turned into the cave against the rock wall, listening to every subtle sound; He hadn't been to this cave before, he didn't know the situation here, he could only slowly walk along the rock wall inside; The cave is very quiet, he knows that if there are no people living in the cave, there must be a large number of bats living in the cave, and it has been entrenched by bandits for a long time. Reptiles are very sensitive to smells, and they will not live here, and there will be no strange sounds, and if they do, it can only be a different kind of emergency! Lao Balu is convinced of this!

Lao Balu slowly groped his way, turning one corner after another, and he decided to light the torch.

The torch was lit, and his eyes suddenly brightened, so that he couldn't open his eyes for a while, and after a while, he slowly got used to it. He quietly looked around, inspecting the structure in the cave, it was really intricate! He thought that this cave was not what it is now, and that it would never have been shaped without a design that had been excavated! The outermost spacious hall must be a place for deliberations, and the large and small holes in it must be a place to live.

Lao Balu didn't have time to think about it, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he couldn't help but waste time; He began to look for the tunnel entrance; According to Xiao Zhuge and the confession of the captives, the location should be in the northeast corner of the cave; He held the torch, lowered his head and walked slowly, observing every place in the ground, he thought, the entrance of the cave should still be closed, because according to the report at the time, Xiao Zhuge told him very clearly that the stone slab at the entrance of the cave was closed; They must have fled here just now, they must have opened the slate from the hole, and then someone found it, and there was a shootout! And they still have time to close the slate?

Hey, that's weird, it should be in this position, why isn't there any? Could it be that they really care about the hole? Afraid of being discovered? Even if they brave the gunfight, they don't forget to close the slate, there must be a big secret hidden in it, and this secret is very important to them! The stone cover must have been covered by one of them, there must be no doubt about it!

Now that the clues are clear, the next step is to test the correctness of the judgment. Lao Balu held the torch and slowly struck his feet with the other end, he was listening intently to the sound below, he was striking and searching; At that moment, he heard that the sound here was different from the others, and he concluded that there must be something strange down here! He pulled the knife from his waist and carefully scratched the ground, but found nothing. That's not right, he thought, it must be here! He struck the ground with the bottom of the torch, along the edge of the hollow, until it reached a solid place, slowly expanding in all directions. When he hit the slope of a rock, in an inconspicuous place, he found two small eyes that could only fit into one finger, and the two small eyes were less than a meter apart. Lao Balu, try to put his finger into his little eye, and with a little force, only to hear a crisp sound of "pop", a stone slab, slowly opened, accompanied by the sound of beads rolling!

A stone cave was opened, and the mystery was also presented in front of the old eight roads! This is a slope of the rock wall, one end is suspended, the other end is connected to the cliff, from one end of the cliff to open the slate, push to the suspended end, there is no obstacle, on both sides of the slab, installed a few stone beads, in order to facilitate the opening will not take a lot of effort, the design is very ingenious! They've really got a lot of brains!

The hole was found, so where are they hiding now? It was in this hole that the commissioner disappeared, and when he was forced back by random gunfire and disappeared, there must be a mysterious place in it! Li Changji was able to escape from here, which shows that Li Changji is prepared, and he is looking for a way out for himself; On the contrary, the correspondent can't think of a foolproof plan for himself. He must have had his own secret hiding place to escape! Yes, you must find the hiding place of this secret in order to solve this mystery, and if this mystery is solved, you can't find them! That is, they can only be found if they find this place! The rest of the questions are logical!

But all the arrangements for a collective living are regular, soldiers are soldiers, officials are officials, generally the living of soldiers are in front and big, when officials are in the back, and small, this old eight roads are clear, take this hole as an example, the reason why it is placed in this position is because it should be close to the living room, in order to facilitate escape and use, according to this reasoning, the near place should be where they live!

Lao Balu checked several nearby living rooms, and there were six in total. As a result, Lao Balu remembered his judgment when he came, Li Changji's second master did not tell the truth, and he inferred from the fact that he was lying! After poisoning two people, Xiao Zhuge and when they sealed the entrance of the cave with a gun, they listened to the footsteps and announced that it was not one person who fled back, why did he say that there was no one else? Six living rooms have now been discovered, which means that there are undoubtedly two more people next to the commissioner!

So, he started looking for suspicious clues on the walls of these six rooms.

The living room is all open, and there is no door, just a hole, if you want to say the mystery, it must be in the hole! Then only a hole in a cave can hide people! So, he pulled the cigarette pouch and pot from his waist and began to hit the walls in the living room in the same way.

When he went from the first one all the way to the last one, he didn't find anything he could. So, he sat on the stone bed in the back of the cave, loaded a bag of cigarettes, and smoked while thinking, where is this hiding place?

Lao Balu smoked a cigarette, and his thoughts began to fly again. What happened these days is too sudden, one after another, each more difficult than the other, and each one bigger than the other! From the moment the masses collectively went to the front line to denounce Li Changji, it was a mystery, the black shadow on the roof of the headquarters was another mystery, and rescuing Li Changji was even more a mystery to solve! And now maybe they are hiding in this cave, but I can't find them, it's also a mystery, they are right under my nose, at my fingertips!

He really wanted to shout, Li Changji, commissioner, you have the ability to come out, I'm alone here, let's do a big job, whoever kills is counted, it's the man who stands up for me!

But it's useless, even if they come out and beat me to death, what's the use? Their motive is a bigger conspiracy, it's not just a little old man of mine, they won't take risks because of small mistakes!

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed in front of the door, and Lao Balu reacted quickly, chasing after him with an arrow! Correspondent? Li Changji? Or who? Why didn't he shoot for Lang? Did he find out about me earlier? What is his motivation? I've slackened my vigilance, he can do it?

Lao Balu chased out and thought about it, this thought was a momentary thought!

Lao Balu chased out of the cave, watching the man run down the mountain, light steps, agile figure, in the dark night, like walking on the ground, this is definitely not something ordinary people can do! So fast, so agile, oh, master!

Everything is calm again, surprisingly quiet!

At this moment, Lao Balu's heart fluctuated, he thought about it, but he didn't think about it, and he didn't have a clue like a mess in his heart! He could have shot at that time, but why didn't he shoot? Those hostile elements are ruthless and poisonous as snakes and scorpions, how can they be so merciful to you? Wrong! It's not like their style! Is it your own person? Lao Balu once again remembered the gunfire of the confrontation; Could it be that the person who confronted him was him? Is he spying on me all the time? So who is this person?

The mountains and wilderness are still like that, it has never changed according to the changes in the external environment, even if it is a great love and hatred, the world is turned upside down, it is still it!

Thinking is always left to the world, there is no answer!
