Chapter 816: The Mystery Case Rises Again
Hearing the knock on the door, Li Bing's face, who was still sleepy-eyed, changed suddenly, and he exclaimed, "It's not good, maybe the five people over there have had an accident again!" ”
Huang Shengjie said in surprise: "Won't it?" Could that really be the curse of the three clay pots? This is also too wicked! ”
As he spoke, he didn't dare to slack off at all, and hurriedly rushed forward and opened the door. When the door was opened, everyone was surprised to find that several students were standing in front of his house.
Before Huang Shengjie could ask, he heard He Jie say in a panic: "Shengjie, I'm afraid something will happen again!" When we got up in the morning, we found that Shao Lixia was gone! ”
At this time, everyone also found out that there were only four people standing at the door, and Shao Lixia was missing!
Huang Shengjie's heart tightened, and he asked in a deep voice, "Have you ever looked for her?" ”
He Jie replied in a panic: "Shengjie, after we got up a few mornings, we didn't see Shao Lixia. At that time, I didn't take it seriously, and called her again after breakfast, but I didn't see any answer. At this time, a few of us were suspicious, but none of us dared to go to the door alone. After everyone discussed, it was still Zhou Ke's military ID card that opened the door, and only then did they find that Shao Lixia was not in the room. ”
Huang Shengjie said in surprise: "Zhou Kejun still opened it with his ID card?" Could it be that her room is also locked? ”
Zhang Ling said softly: "Officer Huang, Lixia is a girl, how can there be a reason to sleep at night without locking the door?" It's just strange that she's obviously not in the room anymore, but the door is still insured. ”
Huang Shengjie asked with a calm face: "Then apart from He Jie's house, have you searched elsewhere?" ”
Cao Jianwei continued: "Officer Huang, since the incident with Li Jianfeng's murder, several of us are scared in our hearts, maybe when bad luck will befall us. Therefore, when Shao Lixia disappeared, we just looked for him at He Jie's house, and we didn't dare to wander around anywhere, so we went directly to your house to report the case. ”
Huang Shengjie said: "I know, don't separate the few of you, come with us and look for them everywhere." ”
Several people worked together, searched the village several times, and asked several families in the west of the village, but they all said that they had not found a strange woman coming. Huang Shengjie's eyes were aimed at the back mountain, he looked intently at Li Bing and said: "Li Bing, I have an ominous premonition: Shao Lixia may be in the back mountain, something happened!" ”
Li Bing nodded and said, "Officer Huang, how about a few of us immediately rush to the back mountain to search?" Don't be separated! ”
Huang Shengjie nodded and ordered several people to follow him to the back mountain to search. Except for the places that people can't reach, they searched almost everywhere they can walk, but they still found nothing.
Zhang Ling said in horror: "I've searched all over the place, but I can't see Lixia, will she be in the Seven Star Cave?" ”
In fact, even if Zhang Ling didn't say it, everyone had this idea in their hearts. That Seven Star Cave is weird and terrifying, and there is the remains of Li Jianfeng being bitten by a hungry wolf, how could Shao Lixia go there alone under normal circumstances? Unless...... Everyone knows in their hearts that Shao Lixia is also dead!
Everyone was extremely nervous, and followed Huang Shengjie towards the Seven Star Cave without saying a word. As soon as I reached the entrance of the cave, there was a disgusting rancid smell. Naturally, it was the unpleasant stench emitted by the decay of Li Jianfeng's wreckage, and everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses.
Huang Shengjie glanced back at everyone and said word by word: "A few of you stay here, so as not to destroy the scene." Li Bing, the two of us went into the cave to see what was going on. ”
Li Bing let out a soft 'um', and the two of them entered the Seven Star Cave one after the other. When they came to the hall of the cave, under the light of the torches, both of them couldn't help but froze.
The Seven Star Cave is still the same as the last time I came, and there is no sign that no one has entered at all. Seeing the two clay pots on the stone bed, Huang Shengjie let out a long breath and said, "Li Bing, look, those two clay pots are still there, Shao Lixia should be fine, right?" ”
Li Bing didn't say a word, staring at the two clay pots. He was also wondering in his heart, if Shao Lixia was dead, then according to his inference last night, the second clay pot should also be broken.
Why is the clay pot so good, but there is no trace of Shao Lixia? In this almost completely closed mountain village, Shao Lixia will never leave Xiaohuangzhuang.
Was her disappearance really an accident? Maybe it was a stumbling into a canyon that swept away the floodwaters? Or did they fall under a cliff and not let them find out?
Li Bing immediately shook his head again, and he immediately denied his guess in his heart. Because according to the remaining four students, Shao Lixia was the first to enter the room that night to rest. Since she entered her room, she was already afraid, and it was impossible for her to go out alone in the middle of the night, let alone lock the door from the inside.
Then, Shao Lixia must have quietly left He Jie's house because of something. Since she left He Jie's house strangely, it means that she has encountered strange things that no one knows. Now that there is no one alive or dead, it is basically certain that Shao Lixia has been killed.
However, since Shao Lixia is dead, why is her body hidden, and where will it be hidden?
Since there was no trace of Shao Lixia in the cave, after getting Huang Shengjie's permission, several people outside the cave also came in together, looking at Li Bing, who was thinking blankly, expecting him to give an answer.
Li Bing felt that the people around him were watching him, and after thinking hard, he still couldn't understand it, he raised his head and smiled apologetically at everyone.
Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the lacquer paintings on the cave walls. Li Bing immediately thought that since Li Jianfeng's terrifying death was based on the gruesome sacrificial ritual on the petroglyphs, could Shao Lixia also come from the same reason, and the way of death was the same as that on the petroglyphs?
Li Bing hurriedly looked at the petroglyphs one by one, and when everyone saw this, they also understood that Li Bing must have discovered something, and they all held their breath and did not dare to disturb Li Bing at all.
Li Bing looked at it for a while, and suddenly shouted, which really startled everyone. I saw Li Bing say excitedly: "Officer Huang, I want to ask, how do you people from the west of Xiaohuangzhuang Village solve the problem of drinking water?" ”
Huang Shengjie said suspiciously: "Li Bing, why did you suddenly ask this question?" As you can see, my family and He Jie's house are built on the slope of the mountain, which is the highest in the west of the village. Both of our families use bamboo tubes to draw mountain springs directly from the edge of the mountain cliff to drink, and the rest of the village shares a deep well. ”
Li Bing hurriedly said, "Quick, Officer Huang, you can take us to that deep well to have a look." ”
Huang Shengjie said in surprise: "Li Bing, don't you think Shao Lixia fell into that deep well, right?" ”
Li Bing nodded solemnly, Huang Shengjie didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly led everyone from the back mountain to the deep well in the village.
