In less than twenty minutes, I saw a group of figures from the north running quickly towards the Shenji Pavilion, led by Yu Yuechuan, with a black and white starling dog lying on his shoulder, it was Fugui.

"What's the situation here, Xiaodong?" After Yu Yuechuan arrived, he handed Fugui to Xie Budong and asked eagerly.

"I've found the secret room, and it's in this pit. Xie Budong casually threw the dog out and led everyone to the edge of the pit.

Behind Yu Yuechuan are most of the current high-level leaders of the beggar gang, the other three of the four beams have been determined to be Hong Liang's descendants, and they have been imprisoned, two of the four elders have been controlled by demon hunters, and the other two are in the Shenji Pavilion and don't know the news outside, and the rest of the people are all neutral except for Chen Song, and they all followed Li Chao and Xing Shilong to the edge of the pit at this moment.

"Elder Xing, will you go down with me to have a look?" Yu Yuechuan knew that this kind of criminal evidence must be in the presence of the beggars, although he didn't care whether the beggars admitted the crime.

"Okay, I'll be with my husband. Xing Shilong readily agreed.

"Xiaodong, I think this pit is estimated to be no less than 100 meters deep, you arrange it, and the three of us will go down together. ”

"Me?" Xie Budong was stunned, he didn't understand what Yu Yuechuan meant, it was okay to let him go down, but what to arrange for him?

"Big brother, this pit is more than 100 meters deep, you don't plan to jump off like this, do you? I don't have the ability to fall 100 meters free and be unharmed. Yu Yuechuan looked at Xie Budong meaningfully, and quipped: "Brother, you can be considerate of my old arms and legs, and find a way to send me down." ”

"Okay. Although he didn't understand his intentions, Xie Budong still arranged for three Yellow Turban wrestlers to fly down with the three of them on their backs.

The geology of Wanla Island is very peculiar, not black soil and yellow earth in the traditional sense, but a metal-like mineral composition, which is extremely dense and excellent building materials.

"Our beggar gang since three hundred years ago landed on Wanluo Island, the original was by selling the soil to make a family, the original island is bigger than now, you see the bay in the west, it was dug up when selling soil, speaking of which is not afraid of your jokes, the sales of this kind of soil were very large, in order to maximize the profits, the beggars are reluctant to use it but supply the outside people first. ”

The speed of the Yellow Turban Lux is very slow, and Xing Shilong took advantage of this time to introduce the characteristics of the soil here to the two of them.

"Who bought it?" Xie Budong buckled a piece from the pit wall and crushed it with his hands, which was indeed extremely dense.

"The various sects built houses and martial arts training grounds, and the most of them were bought by the imperial court to build the city wall, which was harder than steel after being dried and concocted, and the city wall made with it was extremely strong, and many ruins were still built from our Wanluo Island export materials. ”

As they spoke, the three of them reached the bottom of the pit, and when they stepped on the ground, they could find that it was indeed made of flat stone slabs.

The Yellow Turban Lux expanded the bottom of the pit, and at this time it looked like it was about 300 square meters, and the stone floor was about 200 square meters.

The pit was pitch black, although the three of them could already see with the help of a glimmer of light, but they were still somewhat affected, Xie Budong took out three high-power flashlights from the portable warehouse, and the surrounding environment was unobstructed under the strong light.

"It's peculiar. Yu Yuechuan stomped the ground hard, and found that it was extremely strong, and he asked Xing Shilong: "If I guess correctly, these stone slabs are also made of that strange kind of soil." ”

"Lord Swordmaster's eyesight is exactly. This kind of slate is made by learning the manufacturing method of concrete and improving it, because it is expensive and only used in the Justice Hall and several important military strategic points, but I didn't expect it to be seen in the depths of the underground. Xing Shilong lightly cleared up the relationship, saying that he didn't know.

The yellow turban Lux next to him reported: "Master, we can all pass through the wall, but when I just tried it, I found that there is a forbidden formation here, although it can be forcibly broken, but I am afraid that it will cause a chain formation, and I have also inspected the surroundings and have not found the existence of the entrance passage." ”

"This formation doesn't work for me, you guys guard the outside, I'll go in and take a look. Xie Budong came in once last time, and knew that this secret room could be entered with a wall piercing talisman, and when he took out a talisman and was about to enter, Yu Yuechuan stretched out his hand to stop him.

"There's no need to be so troublesome, I don't know the formation, but it's good that the ban is broken. As he spoke, an ice-blue long sword appeared out of thin air in his hand, and Yu Yuechuan gently stroked the blade with his hand and said, "Does Elder Xing know the origin of this sword?"

"I know a little. Xing Shilong replied: "This sword is called Cold Star, taken from 10,000-year-old cold iron, made by the sword-casting master Chen Fuzi, and ranks third in the list of divine soldiers, which is a sharp weapon in the world." ”

"Yes, this sword has been passed down by my family teacher, and it has been with me for fifty-seven years, and it has saved my life countless times over the years, and has also cut off the heads of countless powerful enemies for me. ”

As he spoke, Yue Chuan danced his sword, and four sharp sword qi cut into the stone slab under his feet in a square.

Like a sharp blade cutting tofu, the indestructible stone slab quietly opened a square entrance, and before the stone fell, Xie Budong quickly caught it and lifted it gently.

"Let's go inside. Yu Yuechuan glanced at him and jumped into the cave first, Xing Shilong followed, Xie Budong frowned and thought about something, hesitated for a moment and followed in.

The secret room is not deep, only about five meters, and the situation inside can be seen in the strong light.

"What is this?" Xing Shilong looked at everything in front of him in surprise.

In the secret room, glass jars more than one meter high are neatly arranged, and the whole room is covered with this strange jar, under the light of the flashlight, you can see that the jar is filled with a blue liquid, and if you look closely, the liquid is actually soaked in a young baby.

Each glass container has a tube attached to a machine in the corner, and a large display next to the machine arranges the information contained in each container.

There are probably more than 300 glass jars in this room, which means that there are more than 300 babies in this secret room.

"Elder Xing, this is the purpose of our demon hunters, in the past five years, a total of 725 babies have disappeared in Taidong Province, and after investigation, 661 of them were committed by a mysterious organization, and Hong Liang is the protective 'umbrella' behind that organization, these babies were secretly transferred here a few months ago, according to intelligence, someone will pick up all these baby girls after the Spring Festival. ”

"This ......" Xing Shilong was terrified, although he knew about the disappearance of the baby girl and had participated in the investigation, but he never expected that it was actually done by Hong Liang. It is no wonder that he tried his best to prevent the beggars from participating in the investigation of this matter, and used some means to get the demon hunters in trouble.

"Brother Yu, these children are alive. Xie Budong studied in front of the monitor for a long time and found that there were a total of 390 baby girls here, and to his delight, all of them were alive.

"Xiaodong, you arrange to notify the people above and ask Chen Ran to come down to see me. Yu Yuechuan thought about it and added: "Call Ye Heng, Li Yucheng will also come down." ”

"Good. After Xie Budong answered, he ordered the Yellow Turban Lux to go up to report the news, and after a while, three people jumped down from the entrance of the cave.

"Subordinate Chen Ran/Ye Heng/Li Yucheng, see Lord. ”

"Chen Ran, look here, do you know what it is?" Yu Yuechuan said expressionlessly.

"This is ......" Chen Ran looked around with the help of a flashlight, and replied: "My lord, if my subordinates are not mistaken, these are all missing children in Taidong Province." ”

"Yes, they are all lost baby girls, Chen Ran, as the person in charge of a province, don't you want to say something?"

"My lord, my subordinates are derelict in their duties, and my subordinates have the trust of the organization. ”

"No, no, no, you're not derelict in your duties, you're doing a great job. It's been five years since this incident, and if it weren't for the fact that my little brother was in danger, I wouldn't have known the details of this incident, how did you report it to the ministry? Think about it, you said, 'There have been several cases of baby theft in Taidong Province, and people have been sent to investigate urgently, and no suspicious targets have been found', so you said that, you did an emergency investigation four years ago, and a total of 19 babies were lost at that time, but since then I have not heard about the subsequent development of this matter.

Xu Changlong of the Anji branch said that he had sent documents to the headquarters many times, but had not received a reply to report the situation, but the department had not received any news in the past few years. If I'm not mistaken, according to the regulations, the documents need to be reported level by level, so where is the information that goes to you?"

Yu Yuechuan's words rang in Chen Ran's ears like thunder, he was the head of the demon hunter in Taidong Province, and when he took over the case five years ago, he knew that there must be a powerful force behind it, but after careful consideration, he decided to hide this matter, after all, if such a major case happened during his tenure, it would inevitably affect his future.

I thought that the organization would stop after doing it once, he was just looking for a reason to prevaricate casually, who knew that it would be out of control later, this baby loss case actually lasted for five years, in the past five years, Chen Ran tried all his means to find clues, and finally targeted the beggar gang, but he didn't dare to make any moves, because once there was a dispute with a big force like the beggar gang, he would definitely need the support of the headquarters, and the news he had concealed in the past five years would inevitably be made public.

After the New Year, he will reach his term, and Chen Ran plans to withdraw directly when the time comes, leaving this mess to the next term, so he has been hiding the specific information of the baby theft case, and has also blocked Xu Changlong's report documents again and again. Who knew that in less than a month before the Chinese New Year, he actually alarmed the Sword Saint because of a small person, and now the evidence is conclusive, I am afraid that I will not be able to escape this crime of dereliction of duty no matter what.

"My lord!" Chen Ran knelt down in front of Yu Yuechuan suddenly, and said sadly: "The subordinates are guilty, what the subordinates want is to report when they catch the evidence of the beggar gang, who knows that there has been no major progress for so many years, the evidence in Xu Changlong's documents is insufficient, if it is transmitted to the headquarters, I am afraid that it will cause a dispute in the martial arts, so I ......"

"Shut up. Yu Yuechuan interrupted him mercilessly.

"Chen Ran, you can still quibble so much at this time, I have to admire you, you can go to the headquarters to confess the guilt by yourself in this case. Ye Heng Yucheng informed the brothers to take all the babies here away, so that they could take care of them and look for their parents one by one. ”

"The subordinates obeyed. ”

"Elder Xing, I'll leave the rest of the matter to you, according to what I said before, I'll take those suspicious people first, if it is found that they are not involved with Hong Liang, I am talking about them sending them back, please bother more about the matter of the beggar gang." ”

"It should. Xing Shilong also sincerely admired Yue Chuan at this moment, this mystery case that had been pending for five years was solved as soon as he arrived, and this insight made him unreachable.

"Xiaodong, let's go with the two gentlemen, I have something I want to ask you. ”
