Chapter Eighty-Four: Underwater Horror

I took it and was about to open the sealed bag, but the official stopped me: "Don't open it, do you want to leave some fingerprints on it, just look through the bag."

I was a little embarrassed to forget about it. I picked it up and took a closer look, hey, it's a cultural relic, and it should be a chise, it's a jade wrench in layman's terms, and it looks like a lot of age.

I said to the officer, "This is the chise, which is the ancient jade wrench, what's wrong?"

"That's a relic, huh?"

"That's definitely not running, no one uses this in modern times."

The two of them nodded. I asked them, "Where did you get that?"

"Just get that corpse on it, or we won't come looking for you."

"Huh? Got it out of his hand? "After I finished speaking, I thought it was impossible, although this corpse was soaked for a long time, it was also a modern person.

"No, from the inside pocket of his pants, it's very secretive, we suspect that he went underwater to steal treasure, and after getting his hands on it, he specially hid it."

, treasure thief again? We've only been here for a few days, are we being targeted?

While my mind was pondering, the official continued: "And from the examination it appears that the cause of his death was that he killed him, not drowned, and we suspect that another missing man, that is, the accomplice, who was slain in the sight of fortune."

I nodded, but soon I realized something: "No, the tomb robbers, and these treasure thieves, are all shady deeds, how can anyone report the disappearance?"

"They told their families to go out, but they didn't say what they were doing, and they didn't go home a few days later to report the case."

"Oh, that's it." With that, I handed them back.

I don't know how Lao Yin will feel when he comes back and learns that there may not be another corpse under the water, and we have been delayed for so many days in vain.

Sure enough, as expected, we were back in training the next day. In fact, the water area where we trained was not far from the water where we found that guy that day, or it was a body of water at all, but fortunately, we didn't run into it during this training, otherwise we would have to be scared to death in the water.

Now that we know that the other missing person is not in the water at all, we can all go diving with confidence.

And I had another question in my mind, if they were committing crimes in this area, would it be because they saw us training here and learned that there was an ancient city underwater. And then what about those who plot to steal treasures? And then I hit it by mistake, and I was really bumped into by them. Because if something like a stump is stolen on land, I will immediately think that it is a burial object stolen from a tomb robber.

But not underwater, and I don't believe that these two tomb robbers can find the tomb under the mud and sand and steal it, which is too much work to do, and it is unlikely that it will be technically or humanly possible. So in my opinion, this thing is most likely to appear on them, the biggest possibility is that the blind cat touched the dead mouse, bumped into it, they groped for it under the water, and happened to run into such a piece scattered outside, and it is unknown whether it was swept up by the water or buried in the place.

If this is the case, doesn't that mean that the location of our training is where the ancient city is located?

At lunch that day, I told Lao Yin about this idea. Lao Yin nodded, and felt that it made sense, maybe these two guys inadvertently provided a little clue to our career.

That afternoon, Lao Zhao continued to train people who had not mastered diving skills very well, and Lao Yin decided to go into the water himself, take a few of us who were better dives, and work nearby.

Before entering the water, I suddenly realized another problem, I said to Lao Yin: "Lao Yin, yesterday the official said, that thing was hidden in a secret pocket, and he was murdered, think about it carefully, since it is murder, does it mean that he has something else on him but has been taken out by his accomplices?" Does that mean they have found other artifacts? Could it be that there are really tombs in this underground that have been stolen and excavated? How could there be such a thing? ”

Lao Yin listened to me while holding on to his diving suit, and he also thought about it for a while, and said to me: "I still think that the tomb is not very likely to be stolen, so many of us can choke for two days, is a group of thieves so powerful?" Maybe it happened to be a good place, and the current washed everything through. Forget it, don't think about it, go down and see first. ”

I nodded, and Lao Yin repeated a few important actions with us, checking the safety ropes on our wetsuits one by one, and then turned on the water and oil lamps and took us into the water together.

To say that this guy's water nature is not generally good, it should be no worse than Lao Zhao, he asked Lao Zhao to come over and teach us that we may be lazy purely for ourselves. He came and went as he pleased, and we swam in his direction, following him in the murky water.

Suddenly, Lao Yin seemed to have noticed something, he stopped, and we stopped, and I habitually corrected my body posture, and watched him lie at the bottom of the lake, wiping something with his hands.

Since we couldn't communicate with each other underwater, I couldn't shout and ask him what was going on, so I had to wait patiently.

After a while, he corrected his posture and turned back to us and gestured, which meant to look in our own directions. We said on the shore that if a few people want to split up, they will swim in their own direction, and there will be no special circumstances to meet directly on the water, and if they don't get up in time, they may be pulled up directly by the rope. Although Lao Zhao said that we were not allowed to be left alone, but due to the problem of manpower, the scope of searching in groups of two and two was too small, and in the end we also chose this slightly risky plan.

This was our first real investigation of the Golden Stone Survey, and I was a little excited but also a little confused. I didn't know what he saw that made him think so, but I swam slowly in my own direction, keeping an eye on the bottom of the lake.

As I swam along, I was soon left alone, and the familiar sense of fear and depression gathered in my heart again. I tried to restrain these two feelings and told myself, don't be afraid, have an oxygen cylinder, have a safety rope, be afraid of something.

Suddenly, I was hit by something in the back, and I turned around sharply to find a fish the size of a small arm swimming away.

I feel unhappy in my heart, and my heart says that you didn't catch you and eat it, so I came here to scare Lao Tzu. But our purpose was not to catch fish, so I continued to swim forward with my hands and feet, and my eyes looked behind me, and there was not a single light to see, and it seemed that we were not very close to each other.

Just as I was about to turn back and continue my search underwater, I saw what seemed to be something in front of me, not small, like a rock. I immediately stopped my hands and feet, or I would have crashed into it.

I was turning my head and looking at it, it was nothing else, it was a rotting corpse, no less disgusting than the one we had salvaged last time, and the oil lamp shone in his face, and he was like an underwater demon, pounced on me.

I was so frightened that I paddled back, resisted the thought of vomiting, and quickly surfaced.

Lao Zhao saw me, and I made a gesture to him, meaning that I had found something here.

He immediately arranged for someone to pull the rope, which was a signal to several other people underwater, meaning that they should come up. After a while, one by one, people emerged from under the water around me, and I felt a little safe.

I put the beacon in my place, and when I returned to the ship, I told them about the situation, and the excitement and anticipation on everyone's faces disappeared in an instant.

Lao Yin asked me, "Are you right?" Didn't the officials say ......"

"I'm not mistaken, I also thought about this question just now, I think this is a gang crime, the number of people who were killed is not clear, but the families of just two people reported the case."

Lao Yin nodded after hearing this: "It's really unlucky, and you don't let people work?"

"Then Lao Yin, what do you say we should do, report to the yamen?" Lao Zhao asked.

Lao Yin lit a cigarette, took two puffs, thought for a while, and asked me, "Do you dare to go down?"

I wanted to shake my head, but with so many people on the boat looking at me, I could only say, "Dare." In fact, I was 10,000 unwilling in my heart.

"In that case, you can go down with me and see if you can get him up, take him to the shore, and then report to the yamen." Since Lao Yin took the lead, I wasn't so afraid, but the thought of touching that thing with my own hands couldn't help but be very disgusting.

The two of us put on our gear again, put on ropes and other tools, and jumped into the water. Lao Zhao also came down with us, and he said that he was more experienced in manipulating people under the water.

When we went down again, we found that he had been thrown into the water by someone who had been fixed to a rock, so he never came up. So I don't need to go into detail about how the three of us handled it, but I didn't have dinner that night anyway.

When the officials heard the news, they came again, made a record of the investigation, thanked our Jinshi team, and confirmed that this was another missing person.

I think you want to thank us, after all, we work so hard with you. Finding this body can indeed help the officials correct the direction of the case, they no longer have to look for the accomplice they thought killed the murderer in the first place, but to investigate who these two people had been in contact with before, most likely members of the underwater treasure heist gang.

However, the bigger question is in front of us, since both are victims, are there any others? In other words, are there any other corpses under the water? I've been through so many things, not to mention how strong my psychology is, at least a little more intimidated than before, this is what I touched, if I was met by other members of the team, what would they be scared of? There is no doubt that this incident has cast a shadow over our entire Goldstone team.
