Chapter 16: Serial Mysteries

"Wait!"

Just as we were about to leave, Scar suddenly stopped us, "There is something under Uncle Zhao's remains." ”

When Zhao Anyi heard this, he hurriedly walked over, and at the place where Scar pointed, behind the heel of the dry corpse, a dark red thing, reflecting a faint red halo under the flashlight, many corners, in an irregular shape, it seemed that it should be a certain fragment.

Scar got Miss Zhao's permission, stretched out the tip of the fishing knife in his hand and gently flicked it a few times, and took out the thing, Hou Jun hurriedly took up the gloves to touch it, and saw that there was no reaction, so he took it in his hand.

"It's hard, like a rock." Hou Jun pinched it and said, "This thing looks like a bloodstone." ”

The old man rubbed his hands and said, "Is that worth it?" Maybe this is a meeting gift from Uncle Zhao, put it away, and maybe we can sell it for a good price when we go back. ”

Hou Jun kicked him, shook his eyes, and hinted that Zhao Anyi was still there, talking nonsense.

I didn't know that the old egg would be wrong, thinking that Hou Jun was signaling him not to say that the value was so high, so he pouted and pretended to be sophisticated, and said: "But it's hard to say, this thing looks like a woman's menstrual stone, if it is, it will become unlucky, Lao Hou, you carry it first, you can study it more carefully when you have time." ”

Hou Jun glared at him angrily with puffed out his eyes, how could anyone put the menstrual stone on his body.

When they were playing tricks, I looked at the stone for a while and said, "Anyi, what about the piece of red liquid you took outside earlier?" Don't you think there's a lot of resemblance between the two? ”

"One is a stone and one is a liquid. Where is it like? The old man said quibly.

Zhao Anyi still took out the container wrapped in bandages, shook the liquid inside and compared it with the dark red stone in front of him, and said with a solemn look: "Perhaps, what Lao Hou is holding in his hand is not bloodstone, it is this kind of container in my hand, but because of too long, it has slowly undergone a qualitative change, and it has merged with the liquid inside, so it looks like a stone." ”

I tapped my fingers and said, "But why is one piece intact on the outside and a stone cocoon on the inside?" Or that the liquid in it came from this cave, then it is very likely that there was another person who was with Uncle Zhao, and he left Uncle Zhao with his things and left alone, but he found that it might be dangerous to carry things with him, so he hid in the crack of the tree. ”

"This inference is reliable!" Lao Dan praised and said: "Comrade Lao Li is still very powerful, and he can often say the key points, not bad!" Continue. ”

"So my dad died alone and helpless in the hole?" Zhao Anyi had red eyes, biting her lip and looking at the dried corpse sitting quietly on the rock and looking down at her hand, "That person must be very suitable for my father, and when he left, in order to avoid being held accountable, he snatched my father's personal belongings so that he could hand over them in the future." Do you think so? ”

Looking at Miss Zhao who was full of anger, everyone dared to pick up the stubble, and everyone dared to guess like this, after all, the one who could be with Zhao Wenxing must be the Z9 person, according to the time, if he is still alive, he will either be retired or have been promoted to the higher level, such a character really can't be offended at will.

Seeing that no one of us spoke, Miss Zhao squatted on the ground helplessly, looking at her father's body with tears in her eyes.

Scar, who has never been very bright, suddenly spoke: "Doesn't your organization have a mission record every time?" You should be able to find out who came with your father on the mission at that time, and don't you know when you go back and rummage through it? ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Anyi nodded fiercely, got up and knelt down in front of Zhao Wenxing's corpse, kowtowed three times, and said, "If you are really my father, you must bless your daughter to find the truth." With that, he reached out and touched the corpse.

Frightened, Hou Jun almost jumped to his feet and cursed, rushed over and wanted to stop it, but I grabbed him, I shook my head and said, "Look at it." ”

"Be careful, be careful, the yin qi here is heavy, don't touch Uncle Zhao's chest, it's easy to cheat the corpse." Hou Jun was pulled, still looking frightened.

But Miss Zhao didn't care about these details of touching the corpse, she groped on her father's corpse in a dignified manner, and didn't see what worried Hou Jun happening, Zhao Anyi suddenly frowned, stretched out her hand, her eyes were full of deep doubt, and she had an unbelievable expression.

She had nothing in her hands, but it was like hell.

"What's wrong?" Everyone asked with concern.

Zhao Anyi muttered, "My father's sternum is wrong. ”

"What? What's wrong? We looked at her for some reason.

At this time, Zhao Anyi put the body on the ground like crazy, and her rotten trouser legs were gently pulled into slag by her, revealing the blackened and shriveled lower limbs and soles, and all of us stared at the bare soles of our feet, and couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhao Wenxing has no toes.

And there is no fracture on the sole of the foot, it is not cut off by some sharp weapon, it is more like it was born to look like this, is it a natural deformity? That's not right, otherwise Zhao Anyi wouldn't have this expression.

"The body also had a few ribs missing from its chest." Zhao Anyi said.

I frowned and said, "So, he might not be your father?" ”

"He's my father!" Zhao Anyi rubbed his eyes, as if he had lost his spirit, and said: "I can feel that he is my father, but I have never heard my mother say that he has these defects, and in the photos when he was a child, there is a summer photo, he is wearing shorts and slippers and holding me on a lawn and smiling happily, smiling very brightly, in the photo, his toes are normal, I remember very clearly." ”

If so, then the mystery is too big, not to mention whether Zhao Wenxing was abandoned by his companions and left here to die, just the toes and ribs on his body that disappeared for no reason are incomprehensible.

"You're ignoring something!" At this time, Hou Jun threw the dark red stone in his hand and said: "This thing should have played a very important role in this mystery, the person who abandoned Uncle Zhao and left alone was not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also greedy for merit and wanted to take credit alone, otherwise that person would not have come out with another container containing red liquid and hid it." So the root cause of everything may be in it, maybe only if we unlock the secret of this thing, we can know what happened between Uncle Zhao and that person. ”

"The mystery is in this cave, and you can't run away."

I looked at the end, turned around and smiled, and said, "Gather your emotions, I think we still have a long way to go, and some people may be left behind, but we will not abandon them." Now that you've rested enough, hurry up and go! (To be continued.) )
