The Taoist Priest Goes Out of the Mountain Chapter Seventy-Four All Kinds of Signs
Based on the scratches and hair on the lid of the coffin, I can almost conclude that this coffin must have contained corpses before, and it is impossible to know if it is a zombie or not.
In the current situation, I guess anyone will be scared when they see it, and of course I am no exception, I am already scared to the extreme at the moment, and I shivered several times in a row.
I was worried that what was crawling out of this coffin was hidden somewhere underground, so I turned the flashlight to its brightest and shone it in all directions.
Under the beam of the flashlight, except for the nine coffins, there were only stones piled up around them, and there was nothing left......
This dark underground space is so quiet, quiet is not like a place for living people at all, and I am just in this extremely strange environment at this moment, and an inexplicable sense of fear instantly swept through my whole body, making me feel cold and cold......
I really don't understand what kind of place this is, saying it's a burial chamber, but there is no trace of a burial chamber here except for coffins, and if this is not a burial chamber, then why are there so many coffins! Why did Qin Hanmin build such a large secret room under his house and place so many coffins?
I couldn't figure it out, but I knew in my heart that these coffins must contain what I wanted to know, so I had to open them to figure it out......
Thinking of this, I resisted my fear and looked at the eight unopened coffins one by one.
These coffins are all blackened, there is no pattern on the coffin, it is impossible to tell whether it is modern or ancient, and all of them are tightly fitted, without the slightest trace of being opened, so that is to say, these coffins have not been touched since they were installed.
I wanted to open the coffin to take a look, but at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of a suo from the entrance of the cave.
I was startled by the sudden sound, and hurried back to look, but there was nothing behind me but darkness, but I had just heard clearly, and the sound of the Suo was clearly coming from behind......
I broke out in a cold sweat, my eyes stared straight ahead, my ears were erected at the same time, and I listened carefully, but I didn't hear anything, and I couldn't help but suspect that I was too nervous, so I had auditory hallucinations, and I was just scared of myself.
Just as I was about to take a long breath, the voice from just now sounded again, and this time it was very clear......
I struggled to identify the source of the sound, and it was from the passageway, and I immediately understood that it was the sound of someone climbing the rope ladder!
My first instinct at that time was that Qin Hanmin was back, so I immediately turned off the flashlight and hid behind a coffin on the far right.
It was completely dark, and if I hadn't heard the sound of climbing the rope ladder, I would have thought I was in hell......
As soon as I crouched down, I heard a "thump", and then a shadow appeared in the darkness, moving very slowly and in a very strange posture, like a man with three legs.
Seeing this, I immediately became nervous, and immediately adjusted the sound of my breathing to the slightest degree, so that the black shadow would not hear the slightest movement of me, and then prepared for battle, waiting for the black shadow to approach......
It didn't take long for the black shadow and me to be just a coffin apart, and at this point, I couldn't care so much, let's figure out if he was a human or a ghost first!
Thinking of this, I immediately turned on the flashlight, shone at the dark shadow, and said at the same time: "Who! ”
The black shadow was caught off guard, and before it could react, it was already shrouded in my flashlight, and I saw the appearance of the black shadow clearly, ah! It's Liu Lifang! That's right! She was holding a stick and was staring at me in a daze!
I hurriedly asked her, "Why did you come down?" ”
Liu Lifang immediately breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that it was me, and then said in a trembling voice: "I waited for you outside for a long time, but I didn't see you come out, I was worried that something would happen to you, so I sneaked in to take a look." ”
As she spoke, she looked behind me by the light of a flashlight, and was immediately frightened and about to scream, so I hurriedly stepped forward to cover her mouth, and then made a silent gesture for her, and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, it's just a few coffins." ”
After listening to me, she closed her mouth and looked at me suspiciously.
I briefly told her about the situation, and she immediately took the flashlight from my hand and cautiously stepped forward to check it.
Liu Lifang looked more carefully than me, almost every coffin, she would look back and forth, left and right, up and down, especially the scratches and hair on the coffin lid that turned on the ground, and then followed the way, checked, and finally returned to the coffin lid, thought for a moment and said to me:
"I just looked carefully at the marks on the coffin lid, from the traces, it does look like a human fingernail, and that hair is not hair, but a human beard, my previous profession is actually a forensic doctor, so I am quite familiar with human hair."
When she said this, she put the hair pinched by her fingers under the flashlight and showed me it, and then said: "You see, this hair is twice as thick as an ordinary person's hair, and it is much harder than a hair, and it is about seven centimeters long. ”
As soon as she said this, I touched my hair and beard, then looked at my leg hair, and finally took the hair from her hand and felt that it was indeed similar to the feel of my beard, but that did not mean that it was a beard, so I asked her:
"Yes, I just tried it, and it does feel like a beard, but does that tell the story?"
Liu Lifang pondered for a moment, then moved the flashlight to the scratch on the coffin lid and said, "Think about it carefully, is the length of Qin Hanmin's goatee about the same as the length of this hair?" ”
I recalled that Qin Hanmin's beard was indeed very long, but I hadn't measured how long it was, but it looked like it should be about the same length as his hair, so I nodded when I thought of this, and then motioned for her to continue.
Liu Lifang continued: "In addition to the strangeness of this hair, I just said that this mark is very similar to that left by a fingernail, but I didn't say that it must be a nail scratch, first of all, it is impossible for human nails to have such a high hardness, and secondly, this trace looks extremely unnatural, because the depth and width of the three marks from the opening to the end are about the same, and the scratches of the nails must be deep and shallow, wide and narrow, so this mark must not be left by the nail, but someone deliberately scratched it with some hard object." ”
When I heard this, I immediately understood what Liu Lifang wanted to say, so I immediately said: "Are you saying that the hair on the lid of this coffin is Qin Hanmin's beard, and this scratch is made by Qin Hanmin?" ”
"It's very likely that this is the case, I just took a closer look, and there are no footprints of a third person around these coffins except for the footprints of you and me, which is a bit unreasonable, you saw Qin Hanmin crawling out of here with your own eyes before, so Qin Hanmin must have been here, so where did his footprints go?"
Liu Lifang looked up at me when she said this, as if waiting for my answer, I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.
She looked at my expression and continued: "What I thought was abnormal at first was that I didn't find any traces of Qin Hanmin's visit, but when I checked the coffin lid again, I found that there was a mark on the tip of a shoe at the bottom of the coffin lid. ”
As she said this, she moved the flashlight downward, and I followed her flashlight, and sure enough, I saw a mark on the tip of a shoe, and the back seemed to have been erased.
Liu Lifang pointed to the mark on the tip of the shoe and said: "This mark was obviously left by someone who didn't wipe it clean when he wiped off the shoe print, so I am sure that Qin Hanmin deliberately erased the traces of his visit when he left here." ”
I immediately asked her, "How do you know that this is the shoe print left by Qin Hanmin?" ”
Liu Lifang smiled and said: "When Qin Hanmin sent us out that day, I turned around to say goodbye to him and accidentally saw the shoe prints he left on the ground, I remember very clearly at the time, the front end of the shoe prints is two rows of wavy, and this mark is too, so this shouldn't be a coincidence." ”
She paused at this point, and then continued: "Before I came down, in order to find the entrance, I lit a match to look for your traces, and at the entrance of the tunnel, in addition to your shoe print, I also saw a mark that was exactly the same as this shoe print. ”
"So because of this, you suspect that Qin Hanmin deliberately erased the traces of his visit? If so, then why did he do it? No one knew about this place in the first place, so there was no need for him to do this, right? ”
After I finished speaking, I looked at Liu Lifang, Liu Lifang frowned and said, "Yes, this is exactly what I can't figure out, and there is nothing down here except these coffins, so what is he trying to hide?" It seems that only by opening these coffins can we know what secrets are hidden here, and what Qin Hanmin is trying to hide. ”
In fact, I had this intention just now, if it weren't for Liu Lifang's appearance, I'm afraid I would have opened all eight coffins by now......
