The person who came was a soldier who helped mine the ore from the limestone mine, named Red Scorpion, who originally belonged to the White Fang squad, and after White Fang was promoted to platoon leader, he replaced the White Fang position as the squad leader of that squad, and the vacant personnel were filled in from the three squads of Zhuang.

Red Scorpion is usually well-trained and has outstanding abilities, so it is logical that he can be selected as the team leader.

Ding Qi looked at him and knew that what had happened must be not small, so he turned around and whispered to him:

"Don't be in a hurry, talk as you go!"

The red scorpion knew Ding Qi's habits, followed behind Ding Qi, took two deep breaths and gasped before speaking:

"Two people in the limestone mine were accidentally killed by the ore!"

"What?"

Ding Qi, who was walking forward, was stunned by his body.

Since the last casualty incident, Ding Qi has arranged for the safety of the construction site to be specially publicized and educated for Bucks and Ben, and told the heads of each production team to pay attention to and standardize, and there are routine security personnel patrolling around every day to avoid the recurrence of the incident of three deaths of the Baipu tribe.

However, there were still casualties in such a situation of preventing risks and attaching importance to safety, which really shocked Ding Qi. I guard against wolves every day, but I didn't expect the wolves to come.

Ding Qi unfolded his body again, took a step in the direction of the horse circle, and asked as he walked:

"Which tribe died, tell me what happened."

The red scorpion hurried two steps and organized the following language report:

"Well, the person who died this time was from the Baipu tribe, and he had been dead for a while when he was discovered, and he was discovered by a person from the original limestone tribe who was exploring ore. After this person gave a warning, I rushed over as soon as possible and cordoned off the scene to prevent people from approaching, lest anyone accidentally damage the scene.

Now the limestone mine excavation area is relatively large, and the depth is more than one person high, and in some places it reaches two people high. The accident occurred at the entrance of a mine, and when it was found, only a pair of feet were exposed, and the preliminary judgment was that the mine collapsed, and the two were hit on the head by the ore falling above their heads and died. ”

The two soon arrived outside the horse circle, and with a whistle, Xiao Erhei quickly rushed over, screaming, as if complaining that Ding Qi had not come to see it for several days.

Ding Qi didn't have the heart to tease it, so he opened the ring door and pulled it out, and jumped on the horse's back, and drove to the limestone mine on the mountain. Ding Qi remembered that in this limestone mine, when he had just brought the green slaves back, the jackal and the two green slaves wanted to force the fox to kill Ben together, snatched the shovel and fled, but were subdued by Ben and Xiao Hei and Xiao Jin.

Ding Qi continued to ask as he took control of his horse and ran forward:

"Were there any people around who were mining rocks at the time of the accident? Are the people of the Baipu tribe around? How are mining stones grouped? ”

"At the time of the accident, everyone was digging limestone in their respective positions, and the people of the Baipu tribe were not there. Everyone is responsible for a certain distance when mining, so no one is around. And the two of them were in the middle of nowhere, behind a large pile of ore. However, according to the current mining method, there should be no mines, and they are still so high. ”

The red scorpion recounted the situation and seemed to feel that something was wrong.

"Okay, come with me! Drive! ”

After Ding Qi finished speaking, he shouted, and Xiao Erhei ran quickly along the mountain road.

In the distance, I saw a group of people surrounding it, and I could faintly hear the sound of people crying. Ding Qi quickly whipped up and quickly arrived at the accident site.

"Phew~"

Herod~

Xiao Erhei stopped suddenly, raised his front hooves, and the wind he brought up blew up the hair of the people who were crying on the ground.

"Ahh Help me! ”

The people who were still crying jumped up from the spot with a bang, and crawled to both sides, and the others also gave way to both sides when Xiao Erhei rushed over, so as not to be hit by the big black horse.

"You rammer! Lack of cleanup! ”

Ding Qi patted the horse's neck vigorously, which made Xiao Erhei tremble violently, and quickly bent down his front legs to beg Ding Qi for mercy. Ding Qi didn't care about punishing it, he jumped down as soon as he pressed the horse's back, handed the reins to the people around him, and came closer.

But before Ding Qi could lean down to check the corpse, the three people who were scared away just now rushed over and cried out:

"Leader Ding, how can you scare us on a horse like this? If you scare us, you'll have to pay us for your losses! ”

Ding Qi frowned, looked at the three of them, his face was slightly displeased, but he still said patiently:

"Three, I'm sorry, I was wrong just now, I didn't control the horse well, I apologize to you."

Ding Qi didn't explain, but as soon as he explained, the three of them began to stop doing it, and continued to cry:

"Leader Ding, you have to call the shots for us! Our men were stoned to death while digging rocks for you, and you have to pay us for the loss! Ah~ How are we going to explain to their families? ”

There was even a person who fell at Ding Qi's feet, holding his legs and crying there, wiping his snot and tears into Ding Qi's animal skin pants while crying, so that Ding Qi didn't push it, and it didn't push it, so he had to give the messenger who got the news and rushed over in advance, and the red scorpion behind him also hurriedly stepped forward, and one person pulled an arm to pull the person away.

But the man didn't stop, and shouted loudly as he was dragged away, as if he was afraid that the people around him wouldn't hear:

"Leader Ding, you can pay more this time, two axes, no, three axes!"

Ding Qi was stunned when he heard this, what is the situation? If you haven't figured it out, you have to pay compensation? When human life is at stake, the deceased should be buried first, and then talk about compensation after finding out the cause, right? Is it because they have tasted the sweetness of the last compensation? Or is their kindness seen as a sign of weakness?

The performance of the three of them is a bit problematic, is there anything wrong with it? There must be a demon when things go wrong, and let's take a closer look.

For a moment, Ding Qi thought a lot. Looking at the people of his own tribe around him, as well as more than a dozen people from the two tribes of Qiang and Ren, he hurriedly waved his hand to Ben, motioned him to come closer, turned to look at the two bloody corpses and asked:

"You came here first, tell me, did you find anything?"

Ben calmed his face, pointed to a limestone mountain behind him, shook his head and said:

"No, I went to the site in the back to see that the mine collapsed. Originally, Red Scorpion had five fighters there to cordon off the scene and prevent people from entering. But Pu Dao, the leader of the Baipu tribe, suddenly rushed over, saying that he wanted to save people, but the soldiers couldn't stop him and gave up the place. Baipu's people dug indiscriminately and made the scene very messy, and they couldn't even see the blood stains clearly. Now in this situation, there is no doubt about it. ”

Ben stopped, thought for a while, and said uncertainly:

"To say, there is also something suspicious, that is, the people of the Baipu tribe, whether it is from the performance of these three people just now, or the situation where Pu led people to save the two dead before, the behavior of the Baipu tribe is a little abnormal, as if they are unwilling to let us see the scene of the accident."

Ding Qi hummed for a moment and didn't continue to speak. Squatted down, lifted the animal skin clothes covering the corpse, and examined them one by one.

Both bodies had a large depression in their heads, and from the outside, it was evident that they had died from severe head injuries caused by heavy objects. It's just that the flesh around the wound is eroded and blurred, as if there have been multiple blows. From the results of the examination of the deceased's arms and ribs, no fractures were found, which seems to be something strange.

Tinch was once a scout who knew how to kill enemies quickly, and he knew the anatomy of the human body very well. For the strange death of the two people in front of him,

Ding Qi's brows furrowed again, he didn't raise his head, continued to check, and asked the red scorpion who came over to check together:

"How long has it been since the body was found? Dry around

Did the living hear the obvious sound of ore falling? ”

"It didn't take long, I rode back as soon as I found out about it, and I reported it to you, and I met Ben halfway, and I only said two words, and it was less than two meals to come and go.

By asking people who were closer to there, none of them heard a noticeable sound of stones colliding. These people are all from our tribe, and they shouldn't tell lies. ”

The red scorpion recalled for a moment and quickly replied.

Ding Qi groaned for a while, and whispered to Ben and Red Scorpion:

"It seems that someone wants to make a bad idea, let's go, and then follow me to the place where the incident happened."

As soon as Ding Qi finished speaking, before he stood up, there was a boiling voice over there, and I saw Pu, the leader of the Baipu tribe, running over with more than a dozen people, and as soon as they met, Pu apologized to Ding Qi and said:

"Leader Ding, it's because I didn't discipline strictly and didn't ask everyone well in terms of safety, so I blame the clansmen being stoned to death."

Before Pu finished speaking, his eyes turned red, but he couldn't hold back and didn't cry, there seemed to be some crying in his voice, and the sadness was overflowing.

Ding Qi also had a sad look on his face, he patted Pu's shoulder, signaling him not to blame himself, and to wait until the dead were buried before talking about other things.

"Let's go to the scene of the accident again."

After speaking, he walked to the back of the ore mountain first, and his eyes inadvertently swept over the people of the Baipu tribe, but found that there was a Baipu person whose eyes flickered a little when he saw Ding Qi, and looked at Pu Shi beside him as if he was afraid that the other party would find something, so he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look again. Judging by his dress and figure, he is not the same as everyone in Baipu, he is a little thin and weak in comparison, as if he often does physical activities.

Ding Qi just glanced at it and didn't stare at the other party, but the man's voice and smile were already imprinted in his mind, and at the same time, he gave Bennu beside him his mouth and asked him to send someone to pay attention to the person.

Behind the stone mountain, messy stones were piled up everywhere, and a hollow cave appeared in front of Ding Qi and the others, as if a person with an open mouth was laughing there, full of sarcasm and mockery.

It was still afternoon, not evening, and the light was abundant. Dinkie, who leaned down, carefully examined the surroundings of the cave, not letting go of any clues, as if he had become Sherlock Holmes at this time, concentrating on inspecting the scene, collecting information, and restoring the scene of the accident.

He can't use the scene of the crime to describe everything he sees at this time, because everything is inconclusive, he just doubts, doubts everything he sees.

Ben and the red scorpion were next to him, with their backs to everyone, and they also blocked everyone's gaze behind them.

Ding Qi carefully examined the dirt on the ground, drawing inch by inch, and did not see a large amount of blood, only two places where the soil was black, similar to the mixture of blood flowing out and mixing with the soil. Twist a little bit with a stone chip and put it on the tip of the nose, and a fishy smell rushes straight to the nose, trying to urge people to vomit.

Pu, who was behind him, seemed to be a little anxious, and made excuses to come over and interrupt Ding Qi several times, but was persuaded by Ben and Red Scorpion to go back, which confirmed that there was a problem with the whole incident, and the Baipu tribe was even more problematic.

In fact, Ding Qi didn't dare to think deeply at all, and he didn't want to think so badly of people's hearts, but everything he found so far showed that this was not an accidental accident, but a premeditated intentional murder.

The deceased, after being hit on the head several times elsewhere, moved to the pre-dug cave in front of him, and carefully collapsed the cave without anyone else noticing, creating the illusion of a mining accident.

Judging by the corpse spots on the deceased's body, it has been more than three hours since the person died. Ding Qi estimated that from the time he saw the red scorpion to the time he arrived at the scene on horseback, it did not take more than twenty minutes, and it was only forty minutes for a full fight, plus the time between the discovery of the deceased by witnesses and the warning, it was also within an hour.

If there is no catty in the middle, I'm afraid even Ding Qi himself won't believe it.
