Chapter Sixty-Eight: The Madman Cries in the Midnight Street
βenen...β
In the cold and misty General Mountain, in the woods, a middle-aged man desperately looked for the faint moonlight and staggered down the mountain.
From time to time he stumbled and fell, and hurriedly rolled and climbed the ground in a hurry, and half of the road rolled down the mountain.
The middle-aged man was in tears at this time, with a frightened whimper in his mouth, completely panicked in the dark mountain forest, just vigorously heading down the mountain, as if something terrifying was chasing behind him.
It's like the dark mountains and forests behind him, like a devil with his mouth open.
The general mountain is not high, only more than two hundred meters, and after more than twenty minutes, the middle-aged man finally ran to the bottom of the mountain.
Under the quiet moonlight, this person was in rags, and his body was covered with blood marks from the bumps and scratches of the mountains, rocks, grass and trees along the road, and his gray face was full of horror and panic.
The middle-aged man escaped from the grave pit on General Mountain, and was a supernumerary member of the archaeological team, who was responsible for equipment and lighting, and did not go down to the grave.
He witnessed the strange and terrifying tragedy that happened in the General's Tomb!
It scared his guts.
He was so frightened that he crawled down the mountain with a roll, and he had already lost his master.
He continued to run desperately, not daring to stop for a moment, the image of what had just happened in the grave kept lingering in his mind, tears and snot flowing.
For more than an hour, he ran to Sanshui County, and at this time, it was almost early in the morning, and the streets of the entire county town became empty, cold and quiet.
Only the faint yellow lights on the side of the road glowed dimly yellow in the morning fog. Under the halo, the shade plants on both sides of the city scattered distorted black shadows, teeth and claws.
The middle-aged man stared at the quiet street, and then at the shadows of the trees hidden in the darkness on the side of the street, cried, and ran wildly down the street.
In the early hours of the morning, Sanshui County, a small border county in the mountains, there were no people on the streets, and there were occasional cars passing by, and I saw a middle-aged man crying and running like a madman on the street, and I just glanced at it in surprise.
"There's a madman in the middle of the night. β
With a mutter, the drivers of the vehicles along the road continued to drive, no longer looking at the "crazy man" they called them.
The middle-aged man ran aimlessly on the streets of Sanshui County like a madman, crying and shouting.
"Dead, all dead. β
"Woo, they're all dead. β
It's crazy!
...............
Sanshui County Public Security Bureau, there are two policemen on duty.
The older ones are sorting out the bureau's case directory, and the younger ones are writing something on the table.
Sanshui County is a small county in the mountains, except for some stealing chickens and dogs, or neighborhood disputes, there are no major incidents, relatively quiet and peaceful.
There are not many things, and it is not yet the tourist season, so there are two policemen on duty at night.
At this time, it was three o'clock in the morning, and everything was quiet, and the two policemen on duty were doing their own things.
Suddenly, a hoarse cry came from outside the house, which seemed abrupt in the quiet of the early morning.
The older policeman pricked up his ears, revealing some doubts.
"Xiao Li, you go outside to take a look, what's going on?"
He called out to the younger policeman and signaled.
"Whoever gets drunk in the middle of the night, these people are. β
The policeman named Xiao Li frowned and muttered, got up, put on his coat, and went out to see.
The Public Security Bureau is a four-story building built on a quieter street.
Xiao Li went out with his coat on, and sighed, it was still relatively cold in the early morning of early spring.
When I walked out of the gate of the Public Security Bureau, I saw a man in ragged clothes, paralyzed on the ground like crazy and crying on the street.
His hands and feet were still crawling on the concrete floor.
"They're all dead, woo, they're all dead. β
The man cried out in his mouth, and even his voice was hoarse.
Xiao Li stepped forward and gently kicked the person in front of him with his foot, frowning and a little puzzled.
Is it a madman? or a drunk?
The man in front of him was covered in dirt, with grass and leaves on his body, and bruises and blood on his head.
"I'm from the county public security bureau, what's the matter with you?"
The middle-aged man ignored him, his eyes were empty, and he was crying and repeating what he had just said.
Seeing this, Xiao Li could only frown and help him up, and specially sniffed it, but there was no smell of alcohol on the other party.
It doesn't seem to be a drunk.
You can't be crazy, right?
He thought to himself.
However, out of the obligation of the police, he still took the person to the public security bureau.
The older policeman, forty years old, surnamed Qin, is called Brother Qin by everyone in the bureau.
Brother Qin saw that Xiao Li had brought someone into the game, and looked at the middle-aged man's ragged and bruised appearance, and asked Xiao Li in surprise:
"Xiao Li, what's the matter with this person?"
"I don't know, it seems like there's something wrong here. β
Xiao Li pointed to his head.
"All dead, all dead. β
The middle-aged man, whose whole body was hanging down, kept repeating this sentence with empty eyes.
"Put on a dress for him, treat the wound by the way, let him stay for a while, see if he can find out his identity when he goes to work this morning, and then find a way. β
Brother Qin looked at the other party's appearance, frowned slightly, and instructed Xiao Li.
Looking at the other party's appearance, it is indeed a mental disorder, but his heart is warmer, and he really can't look at this person in embarrassment, so he instructed.
They've dealt with this kind of thing, too.
Xiao Li was not impatient, this is where the job responsibilities lie, and in response, he helped the middle-aged man on a bench, and then helped him put on a piece of clothing, and dealt with the other party's gray face.
"Huh. β
When cleaning the bruised wounds on the face of the middle-aged man in a trance, Xiao Li suddenly exclaimed.
"Brother Qin, did we meet this person two days ago?"
He hurriedly called Brother Qin, with doubt in his eyes.
Hearing this, Brother Qin put down what he was doing, walked over, and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him carefully in confusion.
Slowly, the suspicion in his eyes grew.
"It's familiar, like I've seen it. β
"Municipal archaeological team?"
Xiao Li said next to him.
Brother Qin's brain was immediately shocked, and he hurriedly ran to an office next door.
A minute or two later, Brother Qin walked out quickly with a photo in his hand.
When he got closer, he took the photo and compared it with the middle-aged man in front of him.
After a while, the astonishment in his eyes thickened.
"This man is from the city's archaeological team. β
The city's archaeological team found an ancient tomb in the eastern suburbs of the county a few days ago and wanted to excavate it.
This photo is a group photo of the archaeological team and the public security bureau a few days ago.
Next to the photo, there is the person in front of you.
So, he was suddenly shocked.
The same goes for Xiao Li next to him.
"Brother Qin, could it be that there was something wrong with the city's archaeological team?"
Just now, he regarded the other party as a mental patient, and when he found out that the other party was a member of the city's archaeological team, he became vigilant at once, and his eyes were full of surprise.
"I'm a police officer from the county public security bureau, can you tell me what's going on?"
Brother Qin secretly questioned the mentally disturbed middle-aged man in front of him.
"All Dead, All Dead"
The middle-aged man kept repeating this sentence in his mouth, in a state of trance, and ignored the two policemen.
Looking at the other party's appearance, it was obvious that he was greatly stimulated, which led to his mental disorder.
Coupled with the words muttered by the other party, the two policemen gradually felt that something was wrong, if there was an accident in the city archaeological team, the seriousness of the situation could be imagined.
The faces of the two gradually became solemn, but they couldn't figure out what could happen to the city archaeological team for a while.
Is there anyone who wants to rob the antiques dug up in the tomb?
There is no contact information for the city archaeological team, so I can't confirm anything at the first time.
Brother Qin wrinkled his eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, he still decided to call the leaders of the bureau.
This matter is related to the city's archaeological team, and he can't be the master and can't bear the responsibility.
The call was made to the director, who was probably still asleep in the middle of the night, and was a little unhappy to be woken up, and when he reported what he knew to the other party, the director was also surprised.
After receiving the news, the county director immediately called the person in charge of the city archaeological team, and he had contact information.
As a result, the other party has not been answered.
The county magistrate sensed that something was wrong, so he hurriedly began to gather his police and gave orders.
At about half past four in the morning, almost all the police officers of the county public relations bureau gathered and drove to Jiangjun Mountain, dozens of miles away in the eastern suburbs of the county.
The sound of loud sirens whined in the faint light of the night at more than four o'clock in the morning in Sanshui County, waking up many residents who were still asleep.
The siren sounded, but I didn't know what was going on.
When the policemen arrived at Jiangjun Mountain, the sky began to clear and the morning fog was hazy, and soon after, the sun would rise.
The policemen got out of the car and began to enter the mountain quickly under the command of the director.
Early morning, early spring, there should have been birds and insects crying in spring.
However, at this moment, the silence of General Mountain is a little abnormal.
Twenty minutes later, the police arrived at the place where the archaeological team found the ancient tomb.
When a group of police officers arrived at the grave, the scene in front of them made everyone's faces change suddenly and they were full of horror.
......................
On this afternoon, General Mountain suddenly became lively.
Villagers near Jiangjun Mountain saw military trucks driving to the foot of Jiangjun Mountain.
Rows of heavily loaded soldiers got out of the car and began to block the entire General Hill from a few miles down the mountain.
Everyone nearby came to see the excitement, but they were all driven away by the soldiers.
No one knows what's going on.
But the gossip from nowhere said that the ancient tomb on the mountain was of great value, so soldiers were sent to seal the mountain.
As a result, people understood, and it was no longer strange to close the mountain.
And the truth can only be understood by a small group of people.
(I came back late from overtime today, and I rushed to 3,000 words, and I will be back tomorrow.) οΌ
