"So, if any one or two stone balls slide down to this end, it won't be long before the stone balls will slide back, and only when the weight of the three stone balls sliding down at the same time is pressed on the mechanism, the stone door at this end can be opened." Uncle Li Yiji was pointing to an ancient mechanism on the top of the tomb, turned his head to look at Coco, who was listening intently, and added, "The wisdom of the ancient people is simple and often practical. ”

Coco nodded slightly, almost forgetting whether this trip was for investigation or scientific research.

At this time, she, her uncle Li Yiji, and the leopard had already converged at the end of the originally bifurcated stone road, waiting for Zhang Huan and Junzi on the left road.

The leopard initially forcibly pulled Coco closer to the right and walked together, thinking that this little girl who had never seen the world was very good at talking, but he didn't expect the soft and hard nails to touch a few without saying it, and Coco's smile was a little scared, and at this time he subconsciously wanted to be brave in front of them and full of momentum.

"If you want me to say, it doesn't matter what age he is," said the leopard impatiently, "deal with this kind of stone gate, come to a ghost and listen to sorrow, coax - everything is done!" ”

Coco looked sideways at her uncle.

"It's explosives," Li Yiji shook his head at the leopard's opinion, "Leopard, we are in the mountains, we don't use it properly, and we will directly press you in the mountain soil and bury you alive, you try?" That's the difference between primitive and advanced humans," he said, pointing to the leopard and then to himself, "We have brains. ”

Ke Ke Waner, looking up at the cold stone walls around him, the light of the flashlight drifting in the tomb, being kidnapped by his uncle to this deep mountain is purely an accidental journey, like a speeding train, suddenly detouring from the track, starting another unexpected journey, if not, where would he be? Thinking of this, I felt that the small silver pistol tied to the inner thigh was a little cold.

"Damn, why are they so slow?" The leopard kicked impatiently against the stone wall.

The uncle made a silent gesture, and the three of them all stared and listened, the three stone paths should be about the same length, there is no reason why the two groups of them have arrived, but Zhang Huan and Junzi have not yet arrived.

Uncle pulled Coco behind him, "There is no footsteps at all, but Keke follow me, leopard, draw a knife." ”

The leopard took out a hunting knife from under his calf, and his expression became serious.

The three of them walked into the left stone road that Zhang Huan walked from the exit in a row, slowly and silently along the way, Li Yiji and the leopard played the cold light source before and after, so the road under their feet was much better, but Coco found that there were stone walls all around, but he could faintly hear the sound of the stream like water flowing from time to time, and the clammy and cold that he felt from just coming in has never changed, and he thought of what his uncle just said that this left road can lead to the left ear room, that is, the place where the uncle found the lantern boy when he came last time, and he was particularly concerned about whether there was a fork on the stone wall.

After walking for about three or five minutes, the uncle who was at the front suddenly stopped, and Coco looked forward from his shoulder, there was a turn in front of the stone road so that people could not see the road after the turn, but on the ground at the corner, a pair of human legs were prominently exposed.

The uncle cautiously walked along the wall to the corner, and finally saw the owner of the leg, the soldier was lying there facing the sky, under the cold light, the green shirt on his body was stained with blood stains that had become deeper, Coco hurriedly stepped forward to check his wound, lifted his clothes, and found that there was no wound in the heaviest blood stain on his chest, and there were also a lot of blood stains on his right hand to his wrist.

"Uncle, give me that bag." Coco took out the contents of her carry-on bag and began to treat Junzi's wounds.

"And breathing," the uncle said in a low voice, frowning.

"But it's strange that the wound on his forehead doesn't flow so much......"

"Damn!" The cry of the leopard made both Coco and his uncle look up at him, and where they pointed their fingers, they were surprised to see the body in the shadows.

"Zhang Huan!" The uncle shouted to the figure lying on the ground not far away, and then hurried away.

Coco also walked forward quickly, and before she could reach it, she felt the soles of her feet slip.

The blood flowed on the stone ground, converging into a small lake, and a bloody breath came straight to the nostrils, but Coco looked at the amount of blood on the ground and couldn't help frowning tightly.

"Coco......" Uncle squatted beside Zhang Huan and looked back at her, with a hint of panic in his voice.

Coco pushed aside his uncle and squatted down to check on Zhang Huan, the long wound on his neck was as terrible as a scarlet fang under the cold light of cyan, extending from the front to the side of his neck, directly cutting the artery, and the blood was no longer gushing out, wet and sticky to Zhang Huan's clothes.

After Coco checked her pulse and pupils, she raised her eyes to her uncle's inquiring eyes, took a deep breath, and shook her head, "My heart is no longer beating." ”

The leopard stomped his foot, "No, we've only been apart for ten minutes, and we're ...... Just ......"

His words made his uncle suddenly, "Leopard, pay attention to your surroundings." ”

Zhang Huan was slashed on the neck, the murder weapon was missing, and the back of the head of the soldier was knocked into a blood bag.

"Huh? …… Oh! Although the leopard still had palpitations, he also raised his vigilance and looked at both sides of the stone path.

If it's a mechanism, the three of us walked around and didn't find anything, if it's not a mechanism......

Coco was examining Zhang Huan's wound when her uncle nudged her, "That one seems to be awake," he looked up and pointed to Junzi who had just opened his eyes.

Junzi, who had just woken up, was still blank in his mind, and slowly remembered what had happened, and the leopard helped him sit up, Junzi couldn't speak with his vocal cord damage in his early years, and communicated with the leopard in sign language. Coco examined again and made sure he had no other visible wounds.

After a long series of sign language, the leopard opened his mouth to translate, "He said that he was walking in front and Zhang Huan was behind him, so he didn't see clearly who attacked them, and after being beaten in the back of his head, he saw a person fighting with Zhang Huan before he fainted, and then Zhang Huan's flashlight fell to the ground, so he only saw this person fleeing, but didn't see his face." ”

"Where to escape, in front of the stone path or behind?" Uncle asked.

Junzi raised his hand and pointed to the wall not far away, and his uncle shone his flashlight on it, and there was an inconspicuous carving on the stone wall.

"Phoenix?" Coco struggled to make out what was on the stone mural.

"No," the lines of the mural blurred together as time passed, and my uncle squinted at him, "It's Suzaku, this old witch, who has to engrave her own mark even if it's not her own tomb." As the uncle spoke, he and the leopard went to the stone wall to see the carving.

Coco didn't understand what her uncle was saying, and she didn't have any idea about the stone carving that her uncle and the leopard were carefully studying, she was more interested in the thought that flashed in her mind just now, and returned to Zhang Huan's corpse, Coco carefully checked Zhang Huan's hands, which were stained with dark brown blood, which was shocking, fortunately, Coco was already used to seeing corpses, otherwise in this situation, if she were an ordinary woman, she would have fainted and woken up and fainted again.

Uncle crouched down beside Coco, "Are you sure...... He...... Already? ”

Coco nodded, "His hands are covered with blood, he should have subconsciously covered the wound with his hands after his neck was cut......"

Uncle held back the feeling of heartache and followed Coco's train of thought, "So? ”

Coco examined his arms, elbows, and other parts of his head, "I'm looking for the scars from the fights between the assailant and Zhang Huan...... But ......"

"But what?" Uncle asked.

"I don't see defensive injuries, except for ...... Wow! Coco couldn't help but scream when she looked up behind her uncle.

Li Yiji himself felt it.

The leopard stood behind him, holding a gun to the back of his head.
