Cheng Luojie also sat up with the light body and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Leng Yi patted the open space under the coffee table with his hand: "This place seems to be different from other places. ”

"Pick it up and see!" Cheng Luojie was also curious, "Could it be that there is some treasure hidden?" ”

Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie moved the chairs and coffee table away, and then lifted the carpet, and the green bricks on the ground were nothing special. Cheng Luojie was very disappointed. Leng Yi put his hand up, felt it again, and carefully looked around, and finally, he found that a green brick in the middle could be moved slightly, so he held it down and pushed and pulled it in different directions. When I pulled back, I finally heard a rattling sound. The four green bricks on the ground slowly moved to both sides, revealing a small boxy dark grid.

There are several account books in the square. Cheng Luojie said curiously: "What is this?" He reached out and picked it up. handed a copy to Leng Yi.

Leng Yi was about to look at it, when he felt that the ground was soft, and the blue bricks under his feet were separated from each other with a bang, and the two of them immediately fell!

Immediately, the flap was closed again!

The two of them were caught off guard, there was nothing on their bodies, Leng Yi reacted very quickly, he turned over and shot out the ledger in his hand, and at the moment when the flap was quickly reclosed, it shot out of the gap, and with a snap, it shot through the roof and landed on it.

Then, the top flap slammed shut. The two landed on a slope and slid down the slope!

Leng Yi's hand slammed into the ground. Years of rock climbing have made him very confident in the strength of his fingers, and the finger power definitely does not belong to Yin Ying, a master of the Eagle Claw Gate. However, it cannot be caught in the ground. Because the ground was very hard, it looked like it was made of whole granite or something, there were no gaps at all, and it was covered with grease and something. The distance between the upper and lower sides of the glide channel is very wide, and it is impossible to restrain the body from sliding with support.

Fortunately, soon they were empty and fell into a cellar that was pitch black!

Leng Yi felt his body fall on a pile of debris, some hard and some soft, and the sound of clattering and crushing things.

Horrifyingly, it was filled with a suffocating stench. Leng Yi only smelled it, and immediately knew what this smell was, - corpse smell! It's the stench of decomposing corpses! This kind of smell is incomparable to any odor.

There's rotting corpses in there! And I'm afraid there is more than one!

Leng Yi's heart sank, where did he fall into?

At this time, Cheng Luojie's voice came: "Brother Yi, where are you?!" ”

"I'm here!"

Cheng Luojie rushed over and hugged him, and looked around with her eyes wide open, but the room was pitch black, there was not even a trace of light, and she couldn't see anything at all. Exclaimed: "It stinks! What stinks so much? ”

Cheng Luojie is the personal guard of Queen Kaibao, and under the peace of the country and the people, in addition to practicing martial arts all day long, there are not many opportunities to do things with others, so they don't dare to kill, and they only opened the ring after coming to Yinling, and they have never seen dead corpses before, let alone smelled the stench of rotting corpses. I can't tell what it is.

Leng Yi didn't tell her the truth, for fear of scaring her, but just pretended to be stupid and said, "Yes, it stinks!" ”

"What kind of place is this?

"I don't know, it's supposed to be a cellar." Leng Yi said, "When we picked up the account book, we may not have canceled the corresponding mechanism, but triggered the mechanism and fell into this cellar. ”

"Isn't it a place to store garbage? It stinks, and there's a long slide. It's all like oil. ”

Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "Do you need any mechanism for the garbage dump?" ”

"That's right," Cheng Luojie panicked and grabbed Leng Yi's arm. "So what are we going to do?"

"Don't panic, there will be a way." Leng Yi thought to himself, he used the ledger to shoot through the roof, and Yin Ying and Zheng Yan, who were on guard outside, would definitely find the clues, and once they found the mechanism, they would be saved. He added, "Let's check if there is an exit first." ”

Leng Yi pulled Cheng Luojie and was about to grope and investigate, when suddenly, a child's immature voice came: "Mother, they are here......"

Immediately, the voice was covered by the hand and stopped indistinctly.

"Who?" Leng Yi pulled Cheng Luojie behind him and asked vigilantly towards the source of the voice, while listening for any suspicious movements.

Nothing happened.

Cheng Luojie's heart was warm, Leng Yi was a weak scholar, but at this time, he took the lead in front of himself to protect himself, indicating that he really took him seriously in his heart, so he quickly pulled him behind him and said, "You hide behind!" Then, to the source of the voice, he said, "Don't be afraid, we are not bad people, we came up and inadvertently caused the mechanism to fall." Who are you? ”

Still no response.

Leng Yi said: "To tell you the truth, I am the magistrate of Yinling County, and I am here to investigate a murder case, and I inadvertently triggered the organ to fall." Don't be afraid. Who are they in? What is your relationship with the Tu Gang Master? ”

Finally, a woman's voice came: "You ......, are you really the ...... of the county?" ”

"Yes." As soon as Leng Yi heard that it was a woman's voice, he subconsciously blocked his private parts with his hand, and then thought that it was pitch black here, even if he didn't block it, the other party couldn't see it at all. But it still hasn't been let go.

"That's great!" The woman's voice suddenly raised a lot, "Lord, Lord Qingtian, help, my son and I were kidnapped by the boat gang, they threw us here, it's been a day and a night, there is no water and no food, they want to starve us to death." Help, sir! ”

Leng Yi and Cheng Luojie were taken aback: "The boat gang kidnapped you? Who are you? ”

"The woman is the original wife of the Bazhou businessman Xu Jiafu, and this child is our only son. On the way back from my son's visit to relatives, the boat gang knocked down the servants who followed our family and took us captive to a house, and then ......, and then ......, woo, a man ......, raped me......, woowoo, lord Qingtian, please call the shots for me! ”

Leng Yi said angrily: "Are you sure that someone from the boat gang did it?" ”

"Yes, one of them took the lead, named He Xian, who once came to my house to find my husband, saying that they were members of the boat gang, saying that the dock fee of our Xu family's merchant ship was not handed over to their boat gang, but to the girl gang, and warned us that if we don't pay, we will bear the consequences. But my husband said that he had already handed it over to the Lady Gang. The Girls Gang promised that they would take care of the matter. But after a few more days, the boat gang detained us. Say when to pay the money and when to release the person. But they raped me and brought us here, without food or drink, and it seemed that they were going to starve us to death! ”

"Isn't there an exit here?"

"Nope!" The woman said, "Since I was thrown in yesterday, I have touched it carefully little by little, and it is all thick bluestone slabs!" Above is a thick iron plate. I kept shouting for help, but nothing happened. Maybe you can't hear it from the outside. ”

"Where's the slide?" Leng Yi said.

"I didn't touch it."

"Didn't touch it?"

"Yes."

"Do you have flint?"

"Nope."

"What about the earth? Have you looked for it? ”

"I didn't ......, I didn't dare to look for it, the ground was full of ......, all ......"

Leng Yi guessed from her terrifying voice that she had sensed that there were rotting corpses in it. Although it is not yet certain whether it is a human corpse, it is enough for a mother to collapse. It is quite commendable that she has been able to persist until now, and she can endure not telling her children. He said, "Okay, I know." ”

Leng Yi gently patted Cheng Luojie's hand and said, "Jie'er, I'll touch the surrounding situation again to see if I can find a way out." ”

"I'll help you!"

"No need, you just stay here." Leng Yi was worried that Cheng Luojie was afraid of touching the corpse.

"Okay." Cheng Luojie also felt that the thing under her was very weird, she didn't know what it was, and she didn't dare to reach out and touch it. It's okay to wait for Leng Yi to touch it first. Anyway, it's just a probe, and there won't be any danger.

Leng Yi stood up and touched upwards, as soon as his hand was raised, he touched the top, it seemed that this cellar was not high, and he groped for it little by little.

Sure enough, as the woman said, there was no hole in the top of his head that should have existed! He clearly remembered that they had fallen from here, how could there be no hole? Where did the entrance to the cave go?

He groped all the places in the ceiling above his head, all the way to the four walls, and sure enough, there were no holes, not even a thumb-sized gap!

Could it be that at the end of the chute, above this cellar, there is a flap? When they landed, the flap closed automatically?

It is very likely that the fact that the exit was not touched just now is a clear proof, and at the same time, the two flaps can be as soundproof as possible, so as to avoid the screams of the people below from being heard by the people outside. It also prevents the stench of the corpse below from being transmitted to the outside and being smelled.

Leng Yi squatted down and began to grope on the ground, he wanted to find the flint. Since the woman had spent two days groping without finding the passage, it was clear that there must be no obvious exit from the four walls. Therefore, he must find the flint, and with the light, it is possible to find the exit. If there are bones on the ground, there should be something. Hope to find the flint.

He first touched the places around his body, and sure enough, almost all of them were skeletons! Judging by the appearance, it is definitely a human bone!

Leng Yi's heart sank, could it be that this slaughter gang leader is a butcher who kills people without blinking? Kill people and throw bones in them?

At this moment, I heard Cheng Luojie crying: "Brother Yi, these ......, these are all ......, what are they?" ”

"What's wrong?" Leng Yi asked.

"The things on the ground seem to be human ......"

"It's okay! Don't think about it! People are not afraid of children, what are you afraid of? Leng Yi knew that she must have touched the bones of the person on the ground, so she hurriedly interrupted her words.

Hearing Leng Yi's words mention children, Cheng Luojie immediately understood and quickly shut up. He clasped his hands to his chest and didn't dare to touch anything on the ground again.
