Zhang Cheng lay on the ground and knocked on the iron lid below, and the echo was empty, indicating that there was still space below.

Zhang Cheng grabbed the roulette-like handle on the lid, turned it to the right, and with a sound of metal rubbing, the latch hidden under the lid was retracted.

Xia Lan patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder, signaling him not to open it in a hurry, in case there was any trap below, it would be troublesome.

She turned her head to look at Dean Jiang, who was silent, snorted angrily, and said very seriously: "Shouldn't this be a warehouse down there?" ”

Dean Jiang sweated like rain and stammered, "I'...... I do not know...... It's true...... It's nothing to do with me......"

Xia Lan slapped a slap on a table beside her, "I still want to deny it when I'm dying!" I advise you to be honest and try to deal with us leniently while we don't go down, if we go down and find something, it will be too late for you to regret it! ”

"I ...... I really don't know anything......" Dean Jiang's eyes flickered, he didn't dare to look at Xia Lan's expression, wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and muttered, "This ...... This must have been left over from the previous time when the house was being repaired, probably ...... It may be that the workers cut corners at that time......"

"Huh...... You are dying and unrepentant! Xia Lan sneered, "I know what you're thinking now?" Are you waiting for that ghost to come and save you? Or are you waiting for Zuo Ci to save you? I advise you to die of this heart! See the guy next to me? He is the Maoshan Heavenly Master, and this time he was specially invited to assist us in handling the case, and Zuo Ci had to flee quickly when he saw him! You'd better get acquainted! ”

Dean Jiang's whole body trembled, and he looked at Zhang Cheng in surprise, "You...... Are you a Heavenly Master? ”

Zhang Cheng's chin was raised, and he cooperated with a tsundere appearance, and did not answer.

Seeing Dean Jiang wavering, Xia Lan struck while the iron was hot and said, "I'm giving you a chance to atone for your guilt now, you have to seize it!" Confess or resist to the end, think it through yourself! ”

After finishing speaking, Xia Lan ignored Dean Jiang anymore, walked to Zhang Cheng's side and whispered in a whisper.

Dean Jiang stood in place, his expression was very entangled, and he hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Officer...... If I did, would I really be lenient? ”

Xia Lan smiled at Zhang Cheng, and when she turned her head to look at Dean Jiang, she instantly returned to her stereotyped appearance.

"It depends on how much you can say, and whether you're telling the truth or not, of course...... If you want to lie, it's okay, anyway, after we go down, everything will be revealed, and then it will be up to you to be lenient or strict. ”

I said...... I say it all...... Absolutely the truth! Dean Jiang's psychological defense completely collapsed, and he sat on the ground.

Zhang Cheng glanced at Xia Lan appreciatively, this girl usually looks very aggressive, but she didn't expect her professional quality to be quite good, and she even took down Dean Jiang with a fright, no wonder she was able to become the leader of the task force at a young age.

Dean Jiang looked at Xia Lan with a gloomy face, and said slowly: "Officer, this ...... Someone else asked me to do this, and the basement here is indeed two floors, and I sealed off the lower one floor as the man ordered, leaving only one entrance and exit ......."

"Don't talk nonsense! Someone else is who! Xia Lan glared and interrupted Dean Jiang's words.

Dean Jiang swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly: "It's the person in your photo, I don't know what his surname is, I just know that he comes every few days and asks me to send some patients below......"

Xia Lan was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What did he ask you to send the patient for?" Where are these people now? ”

Dean Jiang replied, "I don't know either...... These people have never come out since they went down, and every time I send someone here, I don't care, and I don't know what he did down there. ”

Xia Lan frowned, exchanged a look with Zhang Cheng, and asked, "Then how many patients have you sent in total?" Aren't you afraid of being exposed when you do this kind of thing! ”

"Seven ...... were sent back and forth. These people are all mentally ill people with no family, as long as they falsify a discharge record, no one will bother after that. ”

Xia Lan gasped, this is simply terrifying! The patients who were admitted to the hospital disappeared inexplicably, and it would not arouse the suspicion of others, and if it was not for the fact that there was a problem with this nursing home, I don't know how many more patients would suffer.

"It's not just the patients." Zhang Cheng asked, "I heard that several nurses have disappeared in your hospital within a month, what about these people?" ”

Dean Jiang sighed and said: "That person seems to be quite rich, every time he comes over, he often gives the nurses some small gifts, and these nurses get along with that person after coming and going, and then he disappeared not long after, because it is related to that person, so I don't dare to report the case......

After finishing speaking, Dean Jiang raised his head and said in a trembling voice, "The two of you...... The man hadn't been here for a few days, and I knew that sooner or later this kind of thing would not be able to contain the fire, so I secretly sealed the passage, and I really don't know the rest, I ...... I was fascinated and took his money, but what he did really had nothing to do with me! ”

"It's okay?" Xia Lan snorted angrily, "Locked those patients in the basement, without food or drink, do you think they can survive?" These people can be said to have died because of you, and now they want to get away with a word if they don't know? You're thinking too simply, right? ”

After speaking, Xia Lan took out the handcuffs and leaned Dean Jiang on the handle of an instrument.

"You stay here honestly, and we'll deal with you when we come up! With so many lives, you just wait to sit through the prison! ”

Zhang Cheng saw that he couldn't ask anything more, so he didn't delay, leaned down and grabbed the edge of the iron cover, and lifted it up with a force.

The iron lid was pitch black, with a mixture of musty and moisture, and a heavy rancid stench.

Zhang Cheng glanced down and found that there was a three-meter-high space below, but he couldn't look far from above, so he couldn't be sure what was underneath.

Zhang Cheng thought for a moment and turned his head to look at Xia Lan, "Why don't you wait for me here?" ”

"How's that going to work!" Xia Lan immediately shook her head, "I'm a policeman, I have to go down to collect evidence, if something happens, the evidence will be destroyed, and it will be troublesome." Don't worry, I can take care of myself! ”

"Okay...... You follow me, don't run around, that old ghost should be down there. Seeing Xia Lan's firm attitude, Zhang Cheng didn't say much, and jumped off with both hands on the ground, followed by Xia Lan.

The two fell to the ground, Xia Lan immediately flashed a flashlight, vigilantly swept around, and found that the basement was much larger than the one above, about more than two hundred square meters, but the surroundings were empty, and there was nothing.

Zhang Cheng snorted and frowned, "There is corpse qi...... And ghostly...... It seems that this place is really a haunted den. ”
