Hearing him say this, Chen Xiaoice's expression suddenly became nervous, and he felt a nine-leaf lotus-like magic weapon from his arms and held it tightly in his hand.

The three of them walked forward for a while, and the slope of the mine began to steepen, and after a few hundred meters, two forks in the road appeared, one on the left and one on the right.

Zhang Cheng looked down and found that most of the footprints were to the left, so he thought about it and said, "Let's go to the right first, and if we don't find it, then go to the left." ”

Of course, Xia Lan had no opinion, and nodded directly, "Okay." ”

Chen Xiaoice was a little reluctant, "The footprints are all to the left, you have to go to the right, isn't this nothing to look for?" ”

"If you don't come, just wait here." Zhang Cheng snorted and directly pulled Xia Lan into the mine on the right.

"There is no humanity of the opposite sex! Be careful, I'll go back and sue Lin Beauty! Chen Xiaoice looked at the dark mine, shrunk his neck, and quickly followed.

Zhang Cheng walked forward for a while, feeling that his current position should be more than ten meters from the ground, the air around him became very humid, and the temperature had dropped several degrees, giving people a feeling of coldness and coldness.

Xia Lan cautiously followed behind Zhang Cheng with a flashlight, and found that the rock wall of the mine was full of potholes, which looked like honeycombs, densely clustered together, and made people's scalps numb.

Not only that, but there was also a lot of gravel on the ground, as well as large chunks of cinders, piled up one by one, and it looked like they had just been dug up recently.

Zhang Cheng didn't think much about it, continued to walk inside, and after a few curves, the mine came to an end, and a pile of rocks appeared in front of him, making the road ahead tight.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward and flipped through it, and found that there were traces of gunpowder in the rocks, which should have been blown up by explosives, and there were some broken pickaxes and shovels in the rocks.

Xia Lan thought for a while and said, "It is estimated that after the mine was abandoned, it was afraid that someone would come to dig it without permission, so the mine was blown up." ”

Zhang Cheng nodded, "We can't get over here, let's go back." ”

Chen Xiaoice hummed proudly: "Look at it, I said that you are okay to find trouble!" ”

The three of them returned the same way, walked past the previous fork point, and walked into the mine on the left.

The road on this side is slightly easier to walk than on the right, but there is also a lot of slag and gravel.

There was a dead silence around, and the footsteps of the three of them were particularly harsh, and the more Zhang Cheng walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, he didn't say anything.

After walking forward for about a hundred meters, the mine cave on this side actually came to an end, and a large pile of rubble blocked the front.

"Impossible!" Xia Lan looked at the footprints on the ground, and they disappeared when they arrived here, and her expression was extremely strange for a while.

"These footprints are obviously recent, but what about people? Can't it evaporate? ”

Things are really strange, judging from the footprints, there are a lot of people who have come down recently, but the only two forks in the road can't go, so where have these people gone?

"Don't worry......" Zhang Cheng patted Xia Lan's shoulder to soothe her emotions, and then probed around with his hands behind his back.

I clearly felt the wind at the entrance of the cave just now, which means that the cave cannot be blocked, there must be a passage, but I didn't find it for a while.

Zhang Cheng carefully felt the direction of the air, slowly walked to the edge of the rock, and found a gap behind a boulder more than one person high.

This gap was close to the cave wall, allowing only one person to pass sideways, and because it was blocked by the boulder, Zhang Cheng couldn't find it at the first time.

"Those people should have entered from here, I'll go and see first, you guys are here and waiting." Zhang Chengyi was bold and got into it first.

After about ten seconds, Zhang Cheng's voice came from inside, "It's not dangerous, come in." ”

Xia Lan and Chen Xiaoice walked sideways through the gap and found that there was indeed another mine road extending downwards behind them.

The three of them walked forward for a while, and Zhang Cheng suddenly stopped and said in a deep voice: "No, there is a smell of blood ahead!" ”

"The smell of blood?" Chen Xiaoice was stunned, opened his nostrils and inhaled a few times, and said suspiciously: "Why didn't I smell ......?"

Zhang Cheng ignored him, took out the mourning stick with his hand, and walked forward cautiously.

After walking a few hundred meters forward, after turning two corners, the smell of blood gradually became stronger, Xia Lan looked nervous, took out a pistol from his waist, and Chen Xiaoice also closed his mouth, blocking the Nine Leaves Lotus Platform in front of his chest.

After turning another corner, a terrifying scene suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

I saw seven or eight corpses lying on the ground in front of me, most of them were men, judging from their clothing, they should be farmers.

Around the corpse, there were also many baskets and iron picks, and there were cinders in the baskets.

Zhang Cheng just thought about it and understood, "These should be nearby villagers who came in to steal coal." ”

Xia Lan was a policeman after all, and after a short shock, she quickly came to her senses, stepped forward to check the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "These people have strangulation marks on their necks, they should all be strangled to death!" ”

Chen Xiaoice exclaimed, "Not really!" People just steal some coal, so they don't need to kill people! ”

Zhang Cheng looked at the ground and said coldly: "Although the footprints are less here, they are not broken, the Japanese are probably still below, and there is a chance that they did it!" ”

"Paralyzed, this is too ruthless!" Chen Xiaoice said with an ugly face: "What do these little Japan want to do?" Aren't you afraid of retribution when you kill so many people? ”

"Retribution?" Zhang Cheng snorted, "They don't believe this, there used to be an onmyoji, who killed tens of thousands of us in order to get a corpse demon in World War II, and he didn't live well." ”

Chen Xiaoice frowned, "You can't say that, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, it's not that you don't report it, the time has not come...... Who do you say is the wicked man? There's a chance that Lao Tzu will kill him! ”

Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders, "No need, that person has already been killed by me, and I can't withstand it after only a few of the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

Chen Xiaoice was stunned, "You see, I will say that good and evil are rewarded, and his evil reward should not be on you!" ”

"Come less, I know very well what your Buddhism is, and it makes sense both horizontally and vertically!" Zhang Cheng was too lazy to argue with Chen Xiaoice about this.

"Hey! I'm also a police officer, can you respect my profession and say murder in front of me, do you want me to arrest you! Xia Lan looked at Zhang Cheng with a dark face.

"I'm sorry, I'm a law-abiding citizen, I bragged just now!" Zhang Cheng hurriedly waved his hand and changed the topic: "Now it's seven or eight lives, are you going to call for support or follow us down?" ”

Xia Lan took out her mobile phone and looked at it, "There is no signal here, and in the middle of the night, it will take at least an hour or two to wait for the support to come, it is likely to startle the snake, so let's go down and have a look first." ”
