Chapter 90: Footprints

When people don't know the truth, people's speculation and rumors are terrible, but the truth may be more terrible than rumors, because it is a fact that people don't want to spread in their hearts. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Jiang Yi's words are heartfelt, I am glad that I was not born in that era of suffering, and I am grateful to those martyrs for laying the foundation for us in this era of peace.

Jiang Yi seemed to see through my thoughts, he turned to me and said, "We have to cherish the good life now, let's go, go find the way." ”

We continued along the tunnel, and someone had dug a small hole out of here, and there should be a way out of this side, so there was no way out, so I asked, "Why didn't that man go back the way he came, but dig another way out?" ”

Jiang Yi said: "This is not simple, there must be something that happened to make him unable to return the same way, so he has to find another way, we are now going to explore why he didn't return the same way." ”

I don't seem to know why we're here because of the five-pointed star. But you didn't see a five-pointed star on the small hole just now? I looked at Meng Yingjiu, although he was expressionless, he must have a plan with Jiang Yi in his heart, or he had more plans.

It didn't take long for an iron gate to appear on the wall on the right side of the tunnel. The iron door is also one meter wide and two meters high, and an iron bolt in the middle passes through the doorknob and inserts it into the wall.

What is terrifying is that there is a huge bulge in the middle of the iron door, which has crooked the bolt and the top of the door frame is also a little loose, as if something inside the door once desperately wanted to break open the iron door.

Jiang Yi knocked on the iron door, the iron door made a dull sound, Jiang Yi said: "This iron door is very thick!" Something so powerful that it could smash this door like this. ”

Meng Yingjiu gave me the flashlight, and then reached out to pull the deadbolt, and Jiang Yi also put down the flashlight and went to help pull the deadbolt. The deadbolt got stuck in the doorknob after being bent, and the two of them fiddled with it for a while before finally pulling the deadbolt open and opening the iron door.

The heavy iron door was pulled open with the sound of rust rubbing and falling, and the harsh sound made me feel like my nerves were being picked open. Behind the iron door is a very small room, and there are all kinds of mechanical and electrical equipment in it, but they are all old.

Jiang Yi looked at the door and said, "Is this the power distribution room?" Meng Yingjiu took the flashlight and walked in, and we followed, and there was a broken wooden door on one wall of the room. The wooden door panels had fallen to the ground and had rotted, leaving only a door frame on the wall and a dark walkway inside.

Inside the small door was a very square walkway the size of the door. There are also wires attached to the top of the walkway, and old-fashioned light bulbs are hung. The walkway was not very long, and soon we reached the end of the walkway, where the wooden door was broken.

Outside the door, there is a trapezoidal groove that slopes downward, and there is a thin stream of water flowing through the groove. We stood on the edge of the trench and found that the trench was unfathomable in both directions.

Jiang Yi said: "This must be the drainage system of the air-raid shelter. He looked up and said, "That man should have come down from above." ”

I pointed to the top and said, "Then we can go out this way." ”

Jiang Yi replied, "It should be possible." ”

Meng Yingjiu kept looking down, and I asked him, "Which way are we going?" ”

Jiang Yi jumped down into the ditch and said, "Whatever you want, I have to go down and have a look." He looked around and walked slowly forward.

Meng Yingjiu stood without speaking, he took the flashlight and shone it in front, and suddenly a small point of light appeared not far in front. Jiang Yi also saw the point of light in front of him, and he ran over quickly.

When we ran to the front, it turned out to be a diamond earring that had fallen to the ground, and the point of light we had just seen was reflected by it.

These diamond earrings are very chic and beautiful, and I said, "These earrings are pretty good, but how can there be an earring in such a place?" Who fell here? ”

Jiang Yi looked at the earrings and said, "I've seen these earrings." ”

"Ahh Where have you seen it? ”

"This afternoon, I went to the deceased's house and saw that she was wearing these earrings on the picture of her home."

"Today? Decedent? Could it be the dead man in the Jiangtai Tower in the morning? ”

"That's her." Jiang Yi took out a piece of paper, wrapped the earrings and put them away, and said, "I didn't expect her to be here." ”

Meng Yingjiu pointed to the front with a flashlight and said, "There are still ahead." ”

We looked at the place where the light was shining in front of us, and there was still a little blood on the ground. The blood trail was just a few steps away from where the earrings fell. But only a few drops of blood were in that place, and there were no more blood stains around.

"Why are there only a few drops of blood? Could it be that she cut her finger here too? ”

Jiang Yi said: "It's possible, I feel that there will be clues ahead." With that, he continued his way inside.

The drainage system here is very large, and if it weren't for a one-meter-wide trench in the middle of the ground, I would have thought it was another bomb shelter.

After that, there was no blood or other clues on the road, and we followed the small stream of water and forgot to walk. During this period, two more drainage ditches converged here, and the water flow became a little larger.

The further down he went, the louder the sound of the water became, and the sound of the rushing water made people feel irritable, Jiang Yi suddenly said excitedly in front: "There are footprints here!" ”

When I stepped forward, I saw a series of faint mud footprints on the ground. The footprints are in the opposite direction to us, and someone once came out of it. Jiang Yi went back and squatted on the ground and looked at it and said, "There are footprints here, but they are very light." It seemed that someone had come out of it, but he had come here, and the dirt on his shoes was almost clean, so the footprints were getting lighter and lighter, so that we didn't notice it at all in front of us. ”

Meng Yingjiu walked to the front and said, "This footprint should have been left in the past two days." ”

"That's right." Jiang Yi walked up and said, "It should be the murderer or the deceased." ”

Follow the footprints to the bottom, and the eyes suddenly open up. It was an underground room about the size of two basketball courts, two stories high, with four drainage ditches built in four directions and then converging into a hole in the center of the room about two meters in diameter.

The room was supported by four pillars, and four drainage ditches passed through the middle of the four pillars, and all the water that collected from above flowed into the black hole in the middle of the room.

Jiang Yi said: "This should be the bottom of the drainage system. ”

I looked at the hole and said, "Where is this water going to end up?" ”

"There can only be the Yangtze River below."

There was a layer of sand on the floor of the room, which was supposed to have been washed down and settled here. There were many footprints on it, and the man could be seen walking around the room, to the black hole in the room, and then to a pillar across from us.

I took my flashlight and looked behind the pillar, and saw that there seemed to be something faintly glowing behind it, and I whispered, "There is something behind the pillar opposite!" ”
