In-depth investigation VI
The sound was intermittent, indeed coming from the north, and from the strength and clarity of the voice, it could be judged that the other party had been standing still and had not moved.
Jin Ke motioned for Gao Xiaotian to pay attention to the sound under his feet, and slowly approached the source of the sound. Gao Xiaotian followed the appearance of Jin Ke, like a hunter, quietly clearing the fog and approaching the prey.
As the two approached, the voices became clearer and clearer. Jinke stopped and took out his binoculars. In the camera, from the originally blurry image to the dense woods, a black shadow appears that has fallen next to the tree. Jinke couldn't see his face clearly, but judging from his figure and clothes, he was a man. Jin Ke observed the situation around again, and found that there was indeed only one person on the other side, two against one, Jin Ke decided to try his luck, and the two of them stumbled forward and approached a distance, Jin Ke suddenly stopped, and Gao Xiaotian behind him hit his thick back headlong, grinning in pain.
The dark shadow under the tree became clearer and clearer, Jin Ke saw that his eyes were dull and turned up, his face was pale and his mouth was open, his body twitched slightly, and he turned his head to Gao Xiaotian who was covering his nose and said, "Sure enough, it's Zhao San, quickly send Wen Shu the coordinate location, saying that the person has been found." ”
After Gao Xiaotian sent the news, Jin Ke yelled at the people under the tree: "Zhao San! ”
Zhao San raised his head weakly, and instead of being caught, he raised his weak arm: "Save ...... Save me. ”
Jin Ke showed his machete on his shoulder, and slowly walked towards Zhao San on the ground, Gao Xiaotian followed behind, his eyes paying attention to the movements around him.
Jin Ke approached Zhao San, who was lying on the ground, touched his black and cold hands and feet, and immediately called Wen Shu and asked her to notify for help. Half an hour later, the sound of police cars and ambulances roared.
Zhao San, as an important suspect, was personally escorted into the car by the police, Wen Shu, as a reporter, was also mixed into the ambulance, Jin Ke and Gao Xiaotian could only carry their own equipment and return the same way by themselves.
Seeing that he was saved, Zhao San finally breathed a sigh of relief, and on the way down the mountain, he cried intermittently in the car about his miserable life experience that he didn't know whether it was true or false.
"Okay, don't talk about these useless things, I ask you, how did you get here, and how did you end up like this." The police officer handling the case really couldn't stand Zhao San's chatter.
"It's not because of that Liu Shenggen, my boss Liu Shengya said not to do business with his brother before his death, and sure enough, this person is a bastard who crosses the river and demolishes the bridge."
Zhao San turned his head to look at Wen Shu with a voice recorder on his face: "Comrade reporter, I won't hide it from you." ”
Wen Shu interrupted him: "The monitoring has been repaired, can you hide it?" ”
Zhao San's mouth twitched a few times, and he wilted: "Yes, I stole Liu Shengya's mushroom garden, but this is also what Liu Shenggen deceived me to do, he said that as long as I steal all the mushrooms in the mushroom garden, he will give me 100,000." 100,000, who is not tempted? I worked hard all night, put all the mushrooms in the car and drove to the place he designated to unload the goods, but I didn't expect him to immediately turn his face and deny people, and said that he would call the police to arrest me, I had no choice but to flee into the mountains immediately. ”
Wen Shu asked while remembering, "Then what's going on with you now?" ”
"I haven't finished talking yet, before I went to steal mushrooms, Liu Shenggen once invited me to dinner, and what I ate was the matsutake mushroom and bamboo sunflower fish and sheep soup secretly made by the Liu family, I drank this soup in Liu Shengya before, and there was no problem, but somehow, after drinking Liu Shenggen's soup, I faintly felt wrong after I finished my work, and when I fled into the mountains, I began to feel chest tightness and dizziness, I suspect that Liu Shenggen poisoned the soup."
The police officer on the side confirmed again: "Are you sure that the person who asked you to steal is Liu Shenggen, Liu Shengya's brother?" ”
"Of course it's sure!"
Wen Shu closed the notebook, and the car roared into the hospital.
The hospital treated Zhao San, and the test results were sent to the police as soon as possible, showing that Zhao San's symptoms were caused by eating poisonous food, and the toxin came from methanol, because Zhao San also drank liquor before eating, so the toxicity had an incubation period, and now his eyesight has declined, because he was sent to the hospital for treatment in time, Zhao San can be regarded as picking up a life.
As soon as Jin Ke and Gao Xiaotian got in the car, they received a call from Wen Shu and told them the latest situation.
Hanging up the phone, Jin Ke looked back at the deep mountains, and said quietly: "I think we still have to find out the location of this small cabin." ”
"Why? Hasn't this Zhao San already been found? Gao Xiaotian was already tired enough and didn't want to toss anymore.
"My gut tells me there should be secrets there."
Gao Xiaotian couldn't stand the word "secret", and pulled out the car key: "Then what are you waiting for, let's go!"
When it was getting late, Gao Xiaotian found a strange black shadow in the picture that was gradually transmitting back, and the two walked in the direction, and finally saw an old-looking log cabin in the depths of the woods.
The glimmer of the setting sun did not penetrate the dense woods, and the roofs of the huts were covered with moss, dark and damp, and overgrown with weeds. Jin Ke stood at the door, took out a wire from his bag and put it into the lock, startling Gao Xiaotian next to him.
"Brother, is this considered a trespass?"
"Houses? I think the haunted house is about the same! ”
Gao Xiaotian's legs trembled: "Don't scare me, brother, I'm still young, and I haven't even got married." ”
With a "click", the door lock was smashed, and Jinke ripped the lock open: "Don't talk nonsense, turn on the lights." ”
Gao Xiaotian put on the headlamp he brought, twisted it hard, and the surroundings lit up in an instant.
Jin Ke pushed hard, the door was slowly opened, and a strong musty smell inside suddenly hit the face, Jin Ke and Gao Xiaotian took a step back, found the mask belt in the toolbox, and then walked in one after the other.
The thick dust of the hut was covered with all kinds of garbage, piles of bundled cardboard boxes, some flattened cans, and uneven bundles of wooden bars, almost indistinguishable from the tattered warehouses on the side of the street. The floor is made of wooden strips, and a thick tarpaulin is laid on it, and the dust on the tarpaulin is not very much compared to the ash on the wooden strips.
Jin Ke squatted in front of the tarpaulin and looked at it, and suddenly stretched it out, and a wooden door suddenly appeared on the tarpaulin.
"Brother, this is a secret way." Gao Xiaotian's eyes widened, and the light shone on the wooden door.
"This hut has a mechanism, come, take a hand."
Together, the two of them pried open the wooden door, and a secret passage with a staircase appeared in front of them, swarthy pointing into the depths.
"There's no wind, it's a dead end down here." Jin Ke stood at the entrance of the secret passage and tried it.
"Brother, look here, there's a switch." Gao Xiaotian lit the black switch next to Jinke.
"Can this place have electricity?" Jinke was taken aback, but still pressed the switch curiously. With this press, the entire passage was instantly lit up by a faint white-purple light.
"Is it solar energy used?" Gao Xiaotian suddenly realized that the black rectangle he saw on the electronic map was a solar panel.
The two of them accompanied by headlamps and took a closer look at this "underground palace". The stairs are not very neatly trimmed, there are more than 20 steps, there is a corner below, and the two of them went down to the end and saw a small space at the corner.
The two people who completely descended below were conquered by the scene in front of them and couldn't say a word.
The walls are densely plastered with various English and fungus anatomy diagrams and chemical equations. Surrounding the walls are "C" shaped desks made of cement, stone, and wood, with notes, experimental potions, and microscope equipment. These things surround a large platform in the middle, on which there is a fungus chamber made of acrylic plates that simulates the natural environment, and under the shimmer of purple light and the water vapor sprayed by the sprayer, there are white and lovely matsutake and bamboo sunflower seedlings erected inside.
"Brother, who's got this?"
Jin Ke looked around and found a diary on the table, written in English.
"Look at this, what is written on it." Jin Ke handed the diary to Gao Xiaotian. Gao Xiaotian flipped through it, and his face was embarrassed: "Brother, although I have also studied English for a few years, I can't understand it." ”
"The tuition fee was paid in vain." Jin Kebai glanced at him and flipped through the notebook, which contained a news cut out of an old newspaper, which wrote about the tragic death of the richest man picking mushrooms and falling off a cliff.
"What did you find?" Gao Xiaotian came over.
"Good stuff." Jinke asked Gao Xiaotian to shoot a video of the house, take the evidence, and restore the house to its original state, and then slowly descended the mountain.
Zhao San was out of danger and was taken back to the police station for interrogation, because the fingerprint in Wang Fang's room matched his completely, and Zhao San could only confess that Liu Shenggen instigated and lured him to steal Liu Shengya's diary and steal mushrooms.
Because of her role in promoting the case, Wen Shu was allowed to enter the interrogation room for interviews.
At this time, Zhao San was no longer the arrogant appearance he had when he first saw him, with his head lowered and his eyes dodging.
Wen Shu glanced at the notebook and asked, "You said before that on the day of the accident, it was Liu Shenggen who asked you to go to Wang Fang's house to steal Liu Shengya's notebook?" ”
Zhao San muttered: "Yes, I know it's wrong to steal things, but Liu Shenggen said that as long as you take out that thing, give me 20,000 yuan, and I will see the money open." Before I went, I drank some wine to strengthen my courage. ”
"After you went in, you stabbed Wang Fang twice in the chest?"
Zhao San was stunned for a moment, then suddenly shook his head and said, "I only stabbed once!" At that time, it was very dark in the house, I estimated that Wang Fang had slept, so I secretly rummaged on the table, but I couldn't find it, I used my mobile phone light to secretly shine it, and suddenly saw the person in the mosquito net seemed to sit up, I was afraid that she would recognize me, plus alcohol, I ...... I stabbed her, and when she didn't move, I continued to rummage through things and went out when I found her. ”
Wen Shu took note of his words and continued to ask, "Aren't you scared at all when you kill someone?" ”
Zhao San covered his head with both hands, with a look of remorse: "I said, I drank too much at the time, I didn't think about it so much." ”
With Zhao San's confession, the police issued an arrest warrant for Liu Shenggen, but by the time Wen Shu and the arresting personnel came to Liu Shenggen's research institute, Liu Shenggen had already fled.
