Case 2: Ghost Village 3
"Wow, this trip is really exciting, you can actually play mountaineering, climb the cliff, cool!" Ni Gang grabbed the rope and screamed excitedly as he slid down.
"You're sick in the head, aren't you?" Zhou Hao's voice trembled. Although the driver said that the equipment was absolutely reliable, Zhou Hao still closed his eyes, grabbed the climbing rope tightly with both hands, and moved it down very carefully.
Zhou Hao was the last to go down, and at this time, the others had already left him far behind.
"Zhou Hao! Both of us girls are faster than you, are you so timid, are you still a boy? Although Geng Yan was also scared in her heart, she was still relatively calm, and she didn't forget to ridicule Zhou Hao when she saw her like that at this time.
"you, I'm a pure man!" Zhou Hao gritted his teeth, loosened the buckle on the mountaineering rope suddenly, and his whole body quickly smashed down, and Geng Yan below shouted in fright, "Ah! ”
Zhou Hao immediately clasped his grip again, and glanced at Geng Yan below proudly.
"You...... Yes! You're ruthless! Geng Yan glanced hatefully at Zhou Hao's fat ass above.
At this time, Jiang Tian's voice came from below, "There is a protruding platform here, and there is also a cave. ”
After a while, everyone landed safely on the platform.
The platform is not very large, and with a few people standing on it, there is almost no open space. However, the cave on the cliff wall is very large, and the entrance of the cave is more than two meters high and about one meter wide.
The hole is very deep, the driver turns on the flashlight to shine into the hole, and the rough and uneven mossy cave wall can be vaguely seen, but there is no end in sight.
"What kind of cave is often the place where treasures are hidden in martial arts novels, you say, will we find any martial arts cheats such as Jiuyang Shengong in it?" Zhou Hao said with a grin.
"If you find the Sunflower Treasure Book, will you practice?" Jiang Tian smiled maliciously.
"This ......"
Everyone burst out laughing.
"Do you smell a strange smell?" Chen Jiao frowned.
"When you say that, I feel a little bit of it, and I feel a little nauseous and want to vomit." Ni Gang covered his nose.
"Well, I'll go in and have a look, and you'll wait outside." The driver took out a gas mask and put it on, and put on a protective suit.
"I'll go too." Jiang Tian said.
"No way!" The driver immediately refused, "There may be danger, you all stay here." ”
"Yes, yes, Jiang Tian, don't go in." Zhou Hao also hurriedly said.
Jiang Tian didn't seem to hear the words of the driver and Zhou Hao, picked up a mountaineering rope and tied it around his waist, handed the other end of the rope to Ni Gang, patted him on the shoulder and said, "After I go in, you will pull this rope, if the rope is finished, I will come out directly." ”
Ni Gang was about to speak, but Jiang Tian stopped him, "Believe me, it'll be fine." ”
After a long time, Ni Gang nodded with difficulty.
Jiang Tian took out a flashlight from his bag, took out a towel and wet it with mineral water, and then walked into the cave without looking back, "Let's go, uncle." ”
The driver was stunned, gritted his teeth and followed.
Jiang Tian knew in his heart what that smell was.
Carrion.
The space inside the cave is large and unusually dark. Jiang Tian and the driver turned the flashlight to the brightest, and they could only peek into a small piece of the mountain wall. The mountain walls were wet and covered with moss.
"I'll go, it feels like I'm walking in a cave of stones, God, give me flashes!" Jiang Tian complained while groping forward step by step. The driver looked at Jiang Tian and did not speak.
After walking for about seventy or eighty meters, the rancid smell in the air became stronger and stronger, Jiang Tian subconsciously covered his mouth and nose with a wet towel, but the disgusting smell still drilled into his nose one by one.
Suddenly, Jiang Tian tripped over something under his feet and almost fell.
"Damn!" After Jiang Tian stood firmly, he shone the flashlight on the ground to see what it was, and suddenly took a few steps back in fright.
On the ground was a fully decomposed corpse.
The driver also saw the body and fell to the ground in fright.
The corpse was green in color, with a layer of semi-liquid liquid from soft tissue decay and liquefaction attached to it, and patches of maggots were visible to the naked eye, which was disgusting.
Jiang Tianqiang endured his nausea, turned the flashlight to the side, and found that there were several corpses with different degrees of decay nearby, two of which had become white bones. And, except for the corpse at the feet, every other corpse has one thing in common, that is, only the upper body.
Jiang Tian counted them, and there were nine in total.
There was a black wallet on the ground next to the corpse at his feet, which was opened and revealed to be some bank cards and documents.
Xu Jiang, on the ID card is a handsome young man grinning, white and clean.
"Xiao Xu." The driver seemed to recognize the deceased from the clothes on the corpse, and the face wearing a gas mask showed only a pair of eyes, revealing fear and sadness.
The driver tore off the gas mask, and said with red eyes: "Xiao Xu, no, it's not, Xiao Xu, you get up, go home with your uncle, your parents are still waiting for you to go back!" Your mom misses you so much, you know? She has been crying for the past few days, crying all the time, your father came to look for you, and was beaten by the villagers, lying in the hospital! I know that you have always been a filial child, in this way, you go back with your uncle, okay, yes, go back, go back, your mother will stop crying, and your father will be fine, isn't it, ah, yes, yes, go back, go back! ”
The driver muttered as he crawled over to the corpse.
Jiang Tian couldn't bear it in his heart and grabbed the driver, but the driver desperately broke free and climbed forward, "Go back, go back with your uncle!" ”
But when he climbed to Xu Jiang's side, the driver stopped again.
Pain, sadness, disbelief, and fear.
The complex interweaving of all kinds of emotions on his face made him inexplicably afraid.
He didn't dare to take a step closer, even if underneath that disgusting exterior was the one he once loved the most.
Maybe it was changed by death.
The driver muttered numbly: "Go back, go back with your uncle." ”
Jiang Tian took a breath and punched the driver in the face, "Go back?" Can't go back! Do you know, Xu Jiang is dead, dead! ”
The driver was stunned, and after a while, the man hugged his head like a child and cried, "No, it shouldn't be like this, no, Xiao Xu, such a good child, can't die!" ”
The kid on the ID card was still smiling heartlessly.
There were as many as nine corpses, each with stab wounds to the neck, chest and abdomen, and several of them were ossified, with obvious knife marks on their cervical vertebrae and ribs.
Jiang Tian roughly counted the knife marks on the bones, and there were at least a dozen places.
"It's madness!" Jiang Tian had to kick a small stone under his feet hard.
At this moment, the shouts of others were heard outside.
Immediately afterwards, the rope on Jiang Tian's waist suddenly tightened, as if someone outside wanted to pull him out.
"Is something wrong?"
Jiang Tian walked up to the driver, "Uncle, now is not the time to cry, you love Xiao Xu so much, you should find the murderer, find out the truth, don't let Xiao Xu die in vain." ”
With that, Jiang Tian turned around and walked quickly towards the entrance of the cave.
The driver looked at Xu Jiang's body. After a long time, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, walked over, took off his coat, and covered the corpse.
The driver's eyes were red, and he looked at it again before turning and running towards the hole.
"What's going on?" Jiang Tian came out of the cave and found that everyone outside the cave had an anxious look, so he hurriedly asked.
"Oh no, the rope is broken!" Ni Gang said anxiously.
