Chapter 1218: Hot Spring Snowy Night (4)

No need to be reminded by others, An Yizhi also knows that he can't run to the mine by himself, not to mention the intricacies of the lines below, the mine has been abandoned for a long time, and it is not strange that the lack of maintenance of the passage will collapse at any time.

However, the mine made An Yizhi feel that it might be a very important clue, especially when the mayor was talking about the mine in the bathroom before, he suddenly stopped, so An Yizhi planned to show that he was more interested in the mine to get more information.

"I saw in the guidebook that the mines in the town were closed because they were depleted, and there really weren't any gems in them?"

"I can't say that there is no at all, maybe I can find some bits and pieces if I dig again."

Erin scoffed at the bus driver's words:

"It's not too rich in ore in the first place, but it has been dug up by the people in the town for decades, and even diamonds the size of rice grains have been picked up, so how can there be any bits and pieces."

The mayor also said:

"I have asked geological experts to look at it several times, and they all said that there is no mine at all, and the groundwater resources here are abundant, and the excavation is too difficult, and the money invested is completely disproportionate."

As he spoke, he looked at Ann as if he had come to his senses:

"I stress again, don't be curious, every year there are tourists who secretly go to the mine because of curiosity, and in order not to have an accident, we have to send people to guard it 24 hours a day, for fear of accidents."

For a town that has now completely transformed into a tourist-oriented town, if something happens to tourists here, it will be a fatal blow.

Sveedy looked at the mayor again:

"Speaking of which, have you contacted the batch of fillers?"

"I've been in contact for a long time, but the current road conditions can't be transported in at all, what can I do."

Mizushima Yumeko asked strangely:

"Filler?"

"The filler used to fill the mine is some gravel earthwork and the like, and we are still a little worried that tourists will run into it, so after the hot springs in the town gradually became famous, we contacted a batch of filler, and simply blocked the entrance to the mine for a hundred."

Swedi explained, and Ann pointed and asked:

"If it's to plug the mine, why don't you just use explosives?"

"I consulted the geologists who were prospecting, and they said it was not possible because of the geological structure."

Erin Says:

"The geological structure here is very complex, and it used to be manpower to dig the mine, so it's fine, and if you change it to explosives, it will probably lead to a dormant volcanic eruption."

Is it so exaggerated?

Once a volcano erupts, it will definitely not affect just this one town, and the scattered volcanic ash can even cover an area as large as Europe, so don't think that volcanic eruptions are fun.

Isn't this town like sitting on a bomb?

The mayor of the town now said with his tongue wide open:

"You are alarmist again, it is because you are too serious that you can't find a man."

"It has nothing to do with my seriousness!"

After a joke, the mayor added:

"Volcanic eruptions are just the most dangerous situation that experts predict, and they are not actually that easy to erupt, but the use of explosives can lead to avalanches. You see, our town is not far from the mountains, and an avalanche would be in trouble. ”

It's not far, it's almost at the foot of the mountain.

An Yizhi wanted to ask about the mine again, but before he could start, Svidi on the side said:

"Also, don't go outside of town, you might run into wild beasts that come out to feed."

Such an obvious shift in conversation was obvious to everyone, as if they were reluctant to continue talking about the mine.

An Yizhi was still a little puzzled, they didn't seem to say anything too sensitive, why did they suddenly change their words?

Then he saw the innkeeper and her children putting the last meal on the table.

"What are you talking about?"

"Nothing."

The mayor waved his hand and said haha:

"Just tell the little brother about some of their precautions."

It seems that the topic of the mine should be a taboo for the innkeeper, and everyone else tries to avoid talking about it in front of her.

An Yizhi made a judgment in his heart, although he wanted to find an opportunity to ask the proprietress this question straight to the point, but now that there are many people, it is obviously no fun.

Perhaps he realized that the matter of the mine might really be a crucial clue, and the system did not give An Yizhi a chance to ask.

The banquet lasted until eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and as soon as An Yizhi entered his room, the mechanism of time speeding over useless plots came again.

He watched his body fall asleep on the bed like a disembodied ghost, and in the fast-forward effect, the moon and starlight outside the window also circulated rapidly, and it felt like it didn't take more than ten seconds to see the night sky outside brighten quickly, and it was skipped by the system overnight.

I originally planned to ask the hostess at the end of the banquet, but I was directly skipped by the system at night, and it seems that I can only find a way to ask during the day.

At present, there is only one clue, and if you want a new clue, you have to wait for the plot to unfold, and the plot unfolds usually when something happens, and it usually requires dead people.

An Yi's crow's beak was sometimes really effective, and while he was thinking about it in his heart, a terrible scream came from outside the window, interrupting his thoughts.

At the same time, An Yizhi's vision collided with his body, and he immediately regained control of his body.

He quickly got up and looked out the window, but probably because of the angle, he couldn't see anything here.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Ann opened the door to see that it was Mizushima Yumeko standing there:

"Something happened, it seemed like a homicide."

Sure enough, this system is not dead and uncomfortable.

Putting the down jacket on their bodies, Ann Yizhi and Mizushima Yumeko ran towards the outside of the hotel, and then saw that the people who had been in the hotel before had gathered outside the hotel and clinged to a corner of the wall.

Of course, they hurried over to take a look, and there they saw Mayor Milton lying on his face in the snowdrift, with a big hole in his head, and white flowers' brains flowing out.

An Yizhi took two steps forward, found the proprietress and asked:

"Did you call the police? Who found the body first? ”

The proprietress was still a little confused, and she didn't seem to come back to her senses.

It's no wonder that ordinary people must be confused when they see a corpse for the first time.

An pointed and asked again, and she gradually reacted, and then ......

Turn around and vomit.

Understandably, standard reaction.

However, the psychological quality of the others seemed to be better, although they were still all pale, and the bus driver Svidi asked:

"Little brother, you ask this...... Who the hell are you? ”

Yumeko Mizushima seemed to have waited too long for someone to ask this sentence, and without waiting for Ann to answer, she took out a business card from her pocket and handed it over.

The rest of the people gathered together and looked at it:

"Detective?"

This made An Yizhi, who originally wanted to pose for his own registration number, very embarrassed......

–‐‐——–‐‐——

Although his identity was exposed, An Yizhi did not say that he was commissioned by the proprietress to come, but only said that he came here for a vacation.

Maybe it's because the police in this world are quite unreliable, everyone heard that An Yizhi was a detective and was actually more popular than the police, so they quickly called the police according to An Yizhi's request, and all stayed in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel and waited for the police to come.

As for before the police came, An Yizhi could search the body to see if there were any clues.

First of all, he asked the innkeeper for a camera, and took pictures of all angles of the crime scene. It is said that the proprietress has not recovered from the nausea of seeing the corpse, her face is pale, and it is estimated that she has lost a lot of SAN values.

With the photo as the basis for the original appearance of the crime scene, An Yizhi dared to raise his foot to get close to the body.

When the mayor died, he was wearing the loose bathrobe that the inn had distributed to each room, indicating that he did not intend to leave the hotel too far, or that he was simply killed in the inn and thrown here.

Because of the temperature, the body has been completely frozen, and with the knowledge of An Yizhi, he can't judge the time of death, assuming that he was killed after last night's banquet, the time is about 9 o'clock in the evening, and the alibi during this time is the top priority.

In addition, An Yizhi still remembers that there is surveillance in the hotel, so he may be able to see any clues.

Although the body was frozen into a popsicle, the fatal wound was still clear at a glance, just at the back of the head, the type of wound seemed to have been caused by a blunt force, and his skull was dented, which showed the strength of the murderer.

However, it is strange that An Yizhi did not find the murderer's footprints and murder weapon nearby.

Even if the murder weapon is taken away by the murderer, at least the footprints will remain.

It can be seen very clearly that the crime scene is surrounded by flawless snow, only the victim's own footprints. An Yizhi looked at the surrounding traces very carefully, and confirmed that it was not the murderer who faked the scene after killing someone.

It's weird.

"Did you find anything?"

Yumeko Mizushima asked in a low voice.

Speaking of which, this girl is not afraid of corpses at all, and even An Yizhi, who is used to seeing it, feels a little disgusting, but Mizushima Yumeko can't see it at all.

INTERVIEWER Maybe that's the power of nature.

"The biggest problem now is that there are no footprints of the murderer."

An Yi pointed to the traces on the side and said:

"Looking at the pattern and size of the sole, this should be the victim's own footprints, that is, the victim is likely to have walked here by himself and was subsequently killed, but there are no footprints of the murderer nearby."

"Could it be that the murderer stepped backwards and stepped on the victim's footprints to leave?"

"Impossible."

He shook his head and vetoed:

"Such a big living person, if he is attacked, will inevitably leave some traces of disputes. It shows that the murderer is likely to attack from behind, after all, from the current point of view, the wound on Mr. Mayor is only the back of his head. But if he does, he must approach cautiously, and step on the mayor's footprints every step of the way, and not be detected by the mayor......"

"Is it too difficult?"

An Yizhi nodded, it sounded like it was possible, but this was by no means something that ordinary people could do, and even a highly trained soldier could not guarantee success.
