Hu Xing thought that Aoki had gone upstairs, and she was the only one left on the dark stairs. The mother and son in the basement were still there, one kneeling, the other standing, and they didn't speak, and the atmosphere seemed very strange.

As a detective, she has seen quite a few big scenes, but a woman's natural fear of darkness and loneliness makes her uncomfortable.

Damn Aoki! Walk so fast, don't say a word!

She cursed inwardly and was about to go back upstairs when she turned to see a dark shadow walking down behind her.

She was startled when she saw the silhouette of a chicken nest on the head of the shadow, so she patted her chest with confidence, pressed her throat and said, "What are you doing down again?" ”

The shadow saw her turn and stopped.

Hu Xing suddenly noticed that something was wrong. Although Aoki is also quite tall, he generally looks like a second-class intellectual, and the black shadow in front of him is obviously stronger than Aoki, and the hair on the top of his head is more messy, like an explosive head than a chicken nest head.

With the keen instinct of the policeman, she reached out and pulled out the gun.

At this time, the black shadow also moved, and the seemingly huge body stepped on the steps without making a sound at all, like a ghost.

Hu Xing held the gun, and suddenly felt dizzy in his head. She slammed backwards, slamming her elbow into the wall and her gun falling to the ground with a thud.

The dark shadow seemed to realize something, and let out a low roar and pounced.

Hu Xing remembered that this roar seemed to have been heard in the backyard before, and she thought that Ma Fuqing had raised a Tibetan mastiff.

What is this?

No matter what it was, Apricot Hu was powerless to resist.

She was dizzy, and her stomach was tumbling, as uncomfortable as when she was about to wake up after a hangover. She couldn't do anything but watch the shadows pounce on her.

Seeing that the black shadow was about to pounce on her, she heard a loud "bang", followed by a faint blue light.

Aoki appeared on the stairs with a phone that lit up the screen, and the black shadow was kicked over by him, and then he climbed upstairs with a rolling belt, moving as swiftly as an ape.

The light on the phone was faint, and Hu Xing couldn't see what it was.

Aoki hugged Hu Xing and asked, "Are you okay?" ”

"Watermelon... Poisonous..."The apricot leaned softly on Aoki's shoulder.

"I'll help you up first."

Aoki helped Hu Xing up the stairs, and when he reached the entrance of the first floor, he found that the iron fence door on the stairs was locked.

This iron door is made of stainless steel strips, not an ordinary aluminum alloy security door, and it is very strong.

What kind of people need such a strong iron door?

Aoki remembered that the gate outside Ma Fuqing's house was very ordinary. If it's not to prevent outsiders from coming in, then it's to prevent something from escaping.

"My gun...... At...... ...... below," Hu Xing said weakly as he lay on Aoki's body.

Aoki helped her down again, shining his phone on the stairs until he reached the basement, but no gun was found.

The mother and son in the basement are gone.

Aoki saw that there were tables and chairs in the basement, so he helped Hu Xing to sit there.

He opened Hu Xing's eyelids and looked at it, and asked Hu Xing to stick his tongue out and shine it with the light of his mobile phone.

Aoki preliminarily judged that she had taken neurohallucinogenic hypnotic drugs such as triazolam, and from morning to now, in addition to drinking mineral water in the Lu County Criminal Police Team, Hu Xing has only eaten a few pieces of watermelon cut by Ma Fuqing.

Aoki carefully recalls the whole process.

He didn't eat melons because he smoked, Ma Fuqing fed melons to his mother, but he didn't eat them, and Ma Fuqing's mother didn't eat them because she disliked the melon seeds.

In the end, only Hu Xing ate the watermelon on the table.

Fortunately, watermelon is different from drinks, and the dose of medicine contained in it should not be large, otherwise Apricot Hu should have fallen asleep by this time.

Luckily, I don't like to put sweets in my mouth when I smoke! Aoki secretly rejoiced.

"You lean here and rest for a while." Aoki let Hu Xing lie on the table.

The stairs that went up must have been locked by the thing that was not a ghost just now, because Ma Fuqing's mother and son were still in the basement at that time.

Aoki now prays that there is no other exit from this basement, so that Ma Fuqing's mother and son are inside. As long as there are people, there is always a way to deal with it.

If they were all out and all the exits were blocked, it would be really useless.

Inside this dimly lit room, there are doors on the left and right.

Of course, this ordinary wooden door can't stop Aoki.

He pushed open the door on the left, a long narrow hallway with rooms on either side.

He fumbled around the aisle and found an old-fashioned pull-wire light switch. An incandescent lamp of about twenty-five watts at the top emitted a dim glow.

Along the aisle, there was a utility room on each side, which was full of messy things, covered in thick dust and cobwebs.

Aoki exited again and opened the door on the right. It's the same aisle, but it's noticeably cleaner here than there, and it doesn't kick up dust when you walk. However, Aoki smelled a public toilet.

On one side of the aisle are several interconnected empty rooms with no lights. On the other side was a large room, with an iron fence door as strong as the staircase.

The door was unlocked, and Aoki walked in, found the lamp rope and pulled the lamp, and found an iron cage in the middle of the room that was more than two meters high. The cage had several thick chains, and underneath it was covered with straw and dirty mats.

There is a pit in the corner of the cage from which the stench comes from.

This is probably where that thing is held.

He exited the room and walked to the end of the hallway, where there was an exit, but it was sealed by the same iron door.

Aoki glanced at his phone, and there was no signal. He went back to the stairs outside, and there was no signal.

He had heard that the policeman's cell phone could communicate with the outside world even when there was no signal, but he didn't know how to use it, and Hu Xing had fallen asleep on the table.

The dose of medicine on the watermelon is not very large, and it should not be long before you wake up, right?

Aoki lit a cigarette and began pacing around the room.

The tapping sound of the paddle in the empty and quiet basement was extraordinarily loud, as if a megaphone had been installed on the soles of his feet.

What is their purpose?

Could it be that this is a black shop that sells human meat barbecued pork buns? And I just sent it to the door.

The basement, the dimly lit room, the chains, the cages, the rancid ......, all these weird things all add up to look like scenes from some movies.

Could that room with its iron cage be an underground corpse field?

Wrong!

If so, what's going on with that headless female corpse?

Is it really just a dream that Ma Fuqing found himself?

Aoki felt a little irritable, and the sound of tapping and tapping became rapid.

At this time, the sound of the iron door moving suddenly came from the right hallway.

He rushed as fast as he could.

This time, his paddle stepped on the ground and didn't make any sound.
