Fu Mingwei's many years of experience in handling cases made him very sure of one thing, that is, Qi Baye was not the real murderer, and now Pan Feng, who was now designated as the first suspect by them, must have someone behind him to assist him, the reason is very simple, if he is really a genius, he will weave this web better, and there will be no obvious loopholes, for example, they kidnapped Ji Dewu, causing Ji Dewu to cut off ten fingers, this incident is the cause, it is the biggest loophole, and it is completely unnecessary to do it.

Of course, Qi Baye's confession is too absolute, as Qi Baye, a person who has been in the calligraphy and painting business for many years, he should also know very well that artists like painters have a very weird temper, and the method of threatening and kidnapping alone cannot make the other party comply, it can only backfire.

Fu Mingwei looked at the group of children playing on the playground, and saw that they even had to play with the assistance of the teacher, and felt that people like Wang Litian, Liu Da, and Mu Cong could do that kind of thing? And how could Pan Feng burn the three of them so cruelly in order to extinguish his mouth.

When Fu Mingwei was about to get up and take another walk around the campus, Dong Guozhi called, Fu Mingwei picked up the phone, and Dong Guozhi just said simply: "Team Fu, Yan Gang woke up and wants to talk to you." ”

"Give him the phone." Fu Mingwei sat down again, and after hearing Yan Gang weakly "feed" on the other side, he immediately said, "Instructor Yan, are you okay?" ”

Yan Gang said on the other end of the phone, "It's much better." Immediately afterwards, Yan Gang said what happened after they chased them down, and immediately said after speaking, "Even if you lead someone to chase them down now, it is estimated that you will not be able to catch up, once the secret door is closed, it will be very difficult to open, and I don't know if there is anything else in it." ”

Fu Mingwei looked into the distance and said: "I didn't think about leading people to chase down at all, interlaced like a mountain, this truth was taught to me by the instructor before, you said that one of the elements of monitoring and tracking criminals is first to find out the identity of the other party, just like a doctor must find out the symptoms of a patient before prescribing medicine, that is the field of criminal art, I can't interfere if I want to, I just hope that criminal art will not violate the law and discipline." ”

"Don't worry, no, he has this principle, I can guarantee it." Yan Gang immediately said, "In addition, I have in my hand the things that Pan Feng pretended to be a courier sent before, there is a word, a painting, and a note written with a pen, that word is the draft of Zhao Mo's collapse that Qi Baye used to set Nurse Zhang, which is very valuable and is also evidence of the case." ”

Fu Mingwei immediately asked, "What is written on the note?" And what is that painting? ”

"There was a sentence written on the note—it's been opened, look closely, and maybe you'll find it." Yan Gang lay on the hospital bed, put down the note, picked up the pencil sketch drawing, "The pencil drawing is the inside and outside of a studio, there are four children standing in the window, three men and one woman, judging from the appearance of the painting, it should be Pan Feng, Wang Litian, Liu Da and Mu Cong, and there are many easels in the studio, only one of the easels sits in front of a girl with long hair, there is no other person in the studio, and the studio has no roof, it is not like a room, it is like the kind of studio built for filming TV dramas and movies." ”

When Fu Mingwei heard this, he said very calmly: "Instructor Yan, you rest first and hand over the painting and note to Dong Guozhi." ”

After Yan Gang listened, he gave the things and the phone to Dong Guozhi, Dong Guozhi picked up the phone, and heard Fu Mingwei on the other end say: "Guozhi, you take everything back and put it in the evidence room first, make two copies of the pencil drawing and the note, and then come to the Yulan Orphanage to find me immediately, hurry up, it's going to be dark." ”

After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked towards the playground, and asked the teacher who was playing with the child: "May I ask, does this school have a studio?" ”

The teacher nodded, "Yes, what do you do?" ”

"I'm a police officer, but don't get me wrong, it's like this, I have a friend's child who doesn't like to talk, a little autistic, and the general school is not suitable, I came today to visit, and my friend's child is very fond of painting, so ask me to ask, is there a special painting class here." When Fu Mingwei spoke, he deliberately looked around, looking very calm.

The teacher nodded and pointed to the teaching building in the distance: "On the top floor, the innermost classroom, the largest one, but we are still recruiting teachers, and the previous basic painting teacher has not been here for a long time." ”

"Oh, is it? Why didn't you come? Fu Mingwei immediately asked, "Are you sick?" ”

"I don't know how." The teacher shook his head, "That teacher used to be a student here. ”

A thought suddenly flashed in Fu Mingwei's heart, and he immediately pretended to be suddenly enlightened and said, "Oh, I know, I heard you Principal Wang say that it's Teacher Pan, right?" ”

"Yes." The teacher immediately said, "You know that too? ”

"Know a little bit." Fu Mingwei smiled, and then said, "By the way, before Teacher Pan, there were no other teachers?" You can get it back. ”

The teacher showed regret: "There were several teachers who came before, and they taught averagely, mainly because they had little patience with the children here, but many years ago, there was a teacher who taught very well, and that teacher was also very famous, and he was also a painter, but then I heard that something happened, and he went crazy and went to the hospital, I don't know the specifics, and I have just been here for less than two years." ”

Fu Mingwei nodded and smiled: "Thank you, thank you, then I'll go and see the studio first." ”

Fu Mingwei said goodbye to the teacher, turned around and walked to the teaching building, the smile on his face disappeared, now he knows why Wang Yulan's words are not flawed, because Wang Yulan didn't tell him the most critical thing at all, that is, Pan Feng used to teach here, and the most important thing is about the painter teacher many years ago, if Fu Mingwei didn't make a mistake in judgment, this person is Ji Dewu!

When Fu Mingwei walked downstairs to the teaching building, he happened to meet Wang Yulan, who was accompanied by a man with gray hair, a wrinkled face, and highly myopic glasses.

After Wang Yulan saw Fu Mingwei, she immediately stepped forward and said: "Captain Fu, it turns out that you haven't left yet, you see, it's really inconsiderate, you came to the door to check Pan Feng's affairs." ”

Because the case was not investigated, the police did not reveal the identities of the four bodies at the scene of the fire in the peerless building to the outside world, and Wang Yulan was suspicious when she saw the newspaper, but Fu Mingwei could only hide this matter from Wang Yulan in order to investigate the case, saying that the identity of the corpse had not been clarified, so she should not think too much.

After all, Wang Yulan is also one of the suspects, but the suspicion is not so big.

After Wang Yulan finished speaking, without waiting for Fu Mingwei to say anything, she immediately introduced the man next to her: "This is my husband Ding Wei, the vice principal and director of the school's teaching office, and he is the one who contacts and cooperates with the outside world, including contacting the children's way out after graduation." ”

Fu Mingwei immediately stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Fu Mingwei, the captain of the Daowai District Criminal Police Team." ”

"Oh, hello, hello!" Ding Wei immediately held Fu Mingwei's hand, and at the same time asked something that surprised Fu Mingwei, "I don't know if Captain Fu came to the school ......."

Fu Mingwei was stunned in his heart, and subconsciously glanced at Wang Yulan, feeling that Wang Yulan reported that Pan Feng and others were missing, how could Ding Wei not know?

Wang Yulan was just about to explain, Fu Mingwei immediately took the lead and glanced at the direction of the stairs: "Oh, it's okay, it's like this, I have a friend's child, a little autistic, but what, I like painting very much, I happened to be here today, I know that there is a studio here, I heard that it is very good, so I decided to take a look, can you take me to have a look?" ”

After Fu Mingwei finished speaking, he immediately carefully observed the expressions of the two people in front of him, and he found that Ding Wei's face had obviously changed slightly, and his face became stiff, while Wang Yulan showed a puzzled look, because she knew very well what Fu Mingwei was here to do, but she didn't understand why Fu Mingwei did it.

Wang Yulan pointed to the stairs and said, "Captain Fu, I'll take you to visit the studio, please here." ”

Fu Mingwei hurriedly thanked him and followed closely behind Wang Yulan, while Ding Wei slowly followed behind Fu Mingwei, his panicked eyes falling on Fu Mingwei's shoulder.

In the deep well stone pillar downstairs, Hu Sanqian had already climbed to the end of the square cave, but there was no other passage on the left and right, but there was one on the top of his head, but it was extended towards the inclined plane at 45 degrees, Hu Sanqian took his finger in his mouth, then took it out, stretched out his hand into the passage above, and tentatively probed, felt that his fingers were cold, and a breeze was blowing in the passage, and immediately called the torture technique and He Chenxue, and let them climb inside.

At the same time as Xingshu and He Chenxue climbed inside, Hu Sanqian also began to crawl towards the passage on the slope, and said as he climbed: "The stones on both sides can support the body, it doesn't matter if you climb a little slowly, there is wind blowing inside, which proves that there are other exits." ”

Crawling on the last torture technique asked loudly, "Three thousand, how does this place feel like a vent?" ”

As soon as the torture technique was finished, Hu Sanqian, who was crawling in front, heard the "boom" sound coming from both sides of the stone pillar passage, and the sound continued one after another, and he immediately said: "Don't move!" Don't move yet! Wait! ”

Hu Sanqian supported his body in the inclined passage, listened carefully with his ears to the passage, listened for a long time, and waited for the sound to stop, then said: "It's the sound of water, there is a lot of water in this stone pillar, it seems that it has something to do with the Tiandifu you said, and most of the organs here should use water as power." ”

The torture technique also leaned to the side and listened: "It's like there's a pipe inside." ”

"Whatever it is, I think now we have to hurry up and follow me!" Hu Sanqian said, quickly climbed up to the top, and at the same time shortened the safety rope and hung it on He Chenxue's waist, worried that when He Chenxue climbed up, he would slip and fall.

Hu Sanqian crawled upward, climbed to the end of the inclined passage, and then looked to the right, it was another inclined plane, Hu Sanqian sighed, gritted his teeth and continued to climb up, so the three of them continued to climb for more than ten minutes, and then Hu Sanqian in front stopped, because he clearly heard He Chenxue gasping for breath in the back.

"Miss He, don't be afraid, it's okay, you just follow me, you always remember that I am in front, the torture technique is behind you, you are safe." Hu Sanqian said, stuck his body there, took out the kettle and drank water.

At this time, He Chenxue's whole body was tense, she didn't dare to relax, in this narrow and dark environment, not to mention her, even if it was an experienced Hu Sanqian and torture, it would be impossible to completely eliminate fear - the thin air, the closed and dark environment, and the unknown situation ahead, would make people shudder.

At this time, the three of them all had a thought in their hearts, that is, should they return directly? But just as the three of them were thinking so, they heard a heavy sound of the door closing, and the puzzle door was shut.

Two seconds after the door closed, He Chenxue suddenly tightened her body, because she thought that if she was trapped in this passage, it would be completely finished, thinking of this, He Chenxue suddenly turned her head sideways and asked the torture technique in the rear: "Torture technique, can the walkie-talkie still work?" ”

The torture technique knew what He Chenxue meant, and originally wanted to hide it, but thinking about concealing it now, at the critical moment, He Chenxue found out the truth, and maybe she would be even more desperate, so she had to tell the truth: "There is no way to use it." ”

He Chenxue didn't speak, just nodded to herself, trying not to let herself think nonsense, the hand that grabbed the kettle slipped, and the kettle also fell down and smashed on the face of the torturer, at the same time, there was also the sound of something moving behind the passage, and at the same time, there was also the sound of the previous "boom" in the passage, these sounds crawled all over He Chenxue's whole body like an invisible hand, and finally the passage was quiet after a muffled sound.

"What's going on?" He Chenxue asked.

Neither Hu Sanqian nor Xingshu spoke, because they knew that the last muffled sound was that the entrance to the passage was sealed - Hu Sanqian inevitably touched a certain mechanism in the process of advancing, and after the mechanism was activated, it was pushed by a series of operations of the water flow, which eventually led to the sealing of the puzzle door and the passage entrance.

In other words, the mechanisms of the puzzle door and the passage door are parallel.

When the torture technique was thinking about how to get through this sentence, He Chenxue said to herself, "I know. ”

"It's okay, there must be an entrance and exit for ventilation here." Hu Sanqian said in front, "It's almost rested, let's hurry up, it's almost night, we have to be ready, we are likely to spend the night below, what we can do now is hope that we can leave this passage as soon as possible." ”

Hu Sanqian said and continued to climb up, He Chenxue calmed down, shook her head vigorously, gritted her teeth and continued to crawl slowly towards it, if she hadn't been to Tiandifu, I am afraid that her spirit would have been on the verge of collapse at this time.

Continue to crawl towards the upper end, the passage above is the same as the bottom, it is in a "Z" shape, up and down can only make people raise their heads slightly, and then a little higher the head will touch the top, in this narrow environment, no matter who it is, it will completely collapse if you stay for a few hours, even if you want to go back, it is difficult - you can't turn around in the passage, you can only climb backwards if you want to go back, but because of the very narrow relationship, you can't separate your legs, and you can't climb back backwards at all, you can only move your body slowly, It takes several times more time than climbing in.

Of course, the most important thing is that even climbing back will not help, the passage has been sealed.

At this time, people will inevitably think about these problems, even the experienced Hu Sanqian is a little unable to hold on, and the torture technique takes out a kettle to moisten his lips from time to time in the back, he doesn't dare to drink too much, because once he wants to urinate, there is no way.

He Chenxue was already in a trance, and asked with her spirit: "Three thousand, how far is it?" ”

Hu Sanqian was just about to speak, thought for a while, and deliberately said: "It shouldn't be far away, I think the wind is getting stronger and stronger." ”

"Really? Why didn't I feel it? He Chenxue gritted her teeth and climbed two meters.

The torture technique in the rear immediately said: "Three thousand are in front of you, if you climb in front, you will definitely be able to feel it." ”

"Hurry up, climb quickly, climb out in one go." He Chenxue crawled forward with all his strength, while constantly urging Hu Sanqian. Hu Sanqian knew that He Chenxue could only hold on for ten minutes at most, and after ten minutes passed, she found that it was still not over, and then disappointment would quickly turn into despair.

The torture technique grabbed He Chenxue's ankle and said, "Chenxue, don't worry, climb slowly, we have to maintain our strength." ”

"Release!" He Chenxue had already become very irritable, "Wouldn't it be better to climb out quickly?" It's your own business that you like to stay here! After He Chenxue finished speaking, he crawled to the front, and desperately hit Hu Sanqian's feet in front of him with his hands, "Hu Sanqian!" Hurry up and climb! Come on! If you can't climb, get out of the way and let me climb first!" ”

"He Chenxue!" Torture shouted from behind, "Calm down, Sanqian was just comforting you just now, and he doesn't know how far it is, because the passage is composed of several 'Z' shaped passages, so we don't climb up in a straight line, it's much farther, and we need to be patient!" ”

He Chenxue clenched her fists and didn't speak, just desperately hit Hu Sanqian's feet, Hu Sanqian also gritted her teeth and continued to crawl forward, ignoring her.

Torture said while crawling: "Chenxue, you must know that Xiaobai has come in, Pan Feng has also come in, and Pan Feng should have walked back and forth from here countless times, so he is very familiar with this place, Pan Feng can come and go freely, and we can too, as long as we persist, it will definitely be fine." ”

Although He Chenxue was still gritting her teeth and crawling, the strength she had had before was almost exhausted, and then the weak side crawled out of the abyss in her heart again, and appeared on her face, she said with a cry: "What if they don't go here?" We're going to die here. ”

Torture said in the back: "When you were in the Heaven and Earth Mansion, you were also afraid, I promised you, I said that if I can get out, I will definitely be able to get out." ”

After the torture was finished, he found that He Chenxue was not moving, he turned his head to look ahead, shone a flashlight in front of him, and found that Hu Sanqian in front of him was not moving, and immediately asked: "Sanqian, continue!" ”

Hu Sanqian didn't speak, because when he looked up, he found that the front was already at the end, and there was nothing at the end.

Hu Sanqian couldn't help but think of many years ago, he and his father were entrusted to go to Shaanxi, originally to help people open the coffins of their ancestors and pick up things, but after they went, they learned that a few tomb robbers entrusted them, hoping that they could help save people, because they used the old-fashioned excavation method to enter an ancient tomb that had sunken due to an earthquake, because the soil was soft, the cave was not reinforced, and the front and back collapsed, and two accomplices were trapped in the passage.

By the time he and his father managed to bypass the soft soil, find the approximate location of the tomb with soil surveying, and then work backwards to find the location where the two were trapped, they had been dead for several days.

When the corpse was moved out, Hu Sanqian watched the limbs of the two of them cling to their bodies in a strange way, and the whole person's face seemed to be squeezed by something, and then Hu Sanqian's father told him that it was the appearance that people would become when they died in extreme despair and fear, and the upper and lower front teeth must have been bitten by themselves a long time ago.

At this time, Hu Sanqian, all that appeared in front of him were the two desperate dead faces he saw back then, and it wasn't until the torture technique shouted his name loudly for the fifth time in the back that he came back to his senses, and then swallowed his spit and said: "Torture, I'm afraid we are really trapped here." ”

"No, it won't!" The torture technique couldn't calm down at this time, "Absolutely not, you take a closer look, continue to move forward, and climb to the end!" Hurry up! ”

When the torture technique shouted these words, she didn't realize that He Chenxue in the middle was already lying there clenching her fists, sobbing in a low voice, and then the sobs were replaced by the sound of her slapping the four walls of the passage.

The sound of "slap, slap, slap, slap" sounded, followed by He Chenxue's cry, and these sounds reached Hu Sanqian's ears, like the ridicule of the god of death, and in the sound of torture, it was more like a direct sentence announcing their death.
