Chapter 24: The Secret Path

Liao Tianqi stood at the door of a messy living room, holding his hand to cover his snort, because the fishy smell in the air even he couldn't stand it.

At this time, two forensic doctors in white robes came over carrying a stretcher, and he hurriedly turned sideways to let them pass.

When the stretcher passed by, although he felt disgusted, Liao Tianqi couldn't help but take a look, under the white shroud was a mutilated corpse, and the blood of the corpse that had not been completely coagulated had penetrated the white cloth, and it looked mottled with blood. But if this shroud is lifted, it is difficult for ordinary people to have the courage to face the horrific corpse below.

Not to mention anything else, Liao Tianqi has been sitting in the position of the captain of the criminal police in Yinhe County for more than ten years, but even he, an experienced old criminal policeman, was also taken aback by the shocking tragedy at the scene when he walked into the room where the accident occurred.

The room was covered in blood, and the floor, walls, and furniture were full of splatters of blood. The corpse lay in the corner, its head shattered by a blunt object, and its brains splattered out. There was a large laceration wound in the chest and the heart was gouged out. It looks as if the deceased had fought with a South American brown bear.

The signs of the fight were evident, fragments of a clay pot were scattered everywhere, and a chair had fallen to the window, and one of the windows had been shattered from the outside in. These details quickly built a complete murder scene in Liao Tianqi's mind.

A man broke through the window, cornered the deceased, and smashed the deceased's skull with a clay pot filled with strange plasma, killing the deceased. Then he brutally opened the chest of the deceased, gouged out the heart, and fled the scene.

How much hatred does the murderer have with the deceased, and he needs to vent his anger by digging out people's hearts and livers? The deceased was a doctor, but judging by the plasma left at the scene, a large part was stored in clay pots. (Because human blood accounts for 8% of body weight, the average person is four or five thousand milliliters). The question arises, what is he doing with so much plasma stored privately? And the way the plasma is stored, and the hint of sweetness in the air hidden in the fishy stench, all point in one direction......

Could it be that Xia Jiuyou is a Miao Jiang Gu Master? Liao Tianqi frowned and secretly wondered.

The scene has been investigated, and the technical department has already taken pictures and collected evidence, but Liao Tianqi always felt that he had ignored something, stood at the door and pondered for a while, but still found nothing, until the forensic doctor carried away the body, he became addicted to smoking, and followed downstairs while lighting a cigarette.

Coming to the parking lot downstairs, Liao Tianqi's heart moved, and he looked up, how could each floor of the staff dormitory building of Yinhe County Central Hospital be so high, and the third floor was nearly eight meters from the ground, all the windows and walls were horizontal structures, without any kicks, how did the murderer go up?

Not long ago, it was this building, someone threw a male corpse from the roof, and the deceased was cut into two pieces by the iron sign warning in the parking lot in the process of falling, which was very miserable.

These two cases are separated by the same place, only a few days apart, and in the two cases, one has an old corpse and the other has a Gu master, both of which are outliers that are difficult for ordinary people to see, and these two murders should be very related.

Liao Tianqi felt that he had finally caught the clue he had initially ignored, took a deep puff of his cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt, and walked briskly towards the police car.

The Yuan sisters and I stood in front of a cliff, looking back and forgetting, dozens of meters above is the highest peak of the tomb mountain, this side of the mountain is vertically downward, as if it has been cut by a knife, the cliff is smooth as a mirror. Although the altitude is not high, the mountain is still a little dizzying.

It's not the most important thing, the important thing is that we have no way.

Early this morning, I rented a pickup truck at the car rental company, loaded all the equipment, and dragged the Yuan sisters straight here.

When I got out of the car, I found that there were too many equipment prepared, and the three of us couldn't bear it at all, so I had no choice but to make a trade-off, simplified the packing, I drove the car to the shade of the roadside to hide, and then the three of us took the most needed emergency equipment, and marched along the sparse sapling forest to the cliff.

As we walked along the way, we all found huge rotting stumps hidden in the grass, which seemed to have grown in the past, and the sparse grove had obviously been planted in recent years. This is exactly what we expected, and it seems like a good start.

But when we reached the end of the grove and came to the cliff, we found that the cliff was unusually smooth, and there was not even a big gap, let alone a cave or a mechanism. But according to the previous inference, the dark path should be here, what is going on?

Could it be that all the previous speculations were all self-righteous and taken for granted?

I found that even Yuan Meng's face was not good-looking anymore, she was very calm no matter what happened before, but even she couldn't keep calm at the moment, which shows how much she values this expedition.

Maybe it's none of my business, I'm still calm, I took off the equipment on my body, stepped forward and touched the stone wall, the tentacles were hard and slightly cold, not like mixed with other materials, it was completely the feel of the rock. I walked along the rock wall, and the road was full of weathered rubble and wild weeds falling from the cliff. There is no trace of any artificiality at all. What's going on? Could it be that the age is too old, and the original artificial traces have been buried in the soil?

As soon as I turned around, I saw that the Yuan sisters ten meters away were already digging left and right with the sapper shovel, trying to find clues.

They thought of me ahead of me, and of course I, a big man, could not be left behind, so I hurried towards them. Unexpectedly, I was dazzled by the strong light, and I quickly squinted my eyes, thinking, where did the light come from. So he turned his head to look at the light source.

I saw that on the rock cliff in front of me, there was a stone that was smoother than other places, which just refracted the sun's rays. My heart moved, and I hurriedly walked over, and when I got to the front, I found that there was nothing special about this rock. I turned to the side, and only then did I vaguely notice the smooth rock from earlier, and its shape was an irregular oval.

I understand that there must be a mystery in that stone wall. I hurriedly bent down to pick up a stone, tilted my head sideways, walked over step by step, and then spent an X on that particular rock wall as a marker. Then he said in a loud voice, "Yuan Meng helped me bring a mountaineering pickaxe." ”

The sisters of the Yuan family ran over with tools, and Qingfeng was the first to ask, "Have you found the entrance?" ”

Yuan Meng handed me the pickaxe, her eyes flashed wide, although she didn't ask, but from her expectant gaze, I saw more anxiety.

"I'm not sure," I told the sisters to step back, "but I think this place is very suspicious, so I have to check it out!" As I spoke, I rounded it up, and I hit the stone wall in front of me with a pickaxe.

I was about to get my pickaxe bounced back, but when I went down, the sharp tip of the pickaxe actually ate into the rock, which was five centimeters deep. I slammed my part, and with a thud, a rock the size of a soccer ball fell in response.

Why is this stone so soft? I picked up the rocks that had fallen from the ground, and they were not very heavy, and on closer inspection, the texture was not like stones, but more like mud blocks with great strength. It's just that there is a smooth protective layer on its surface, which is very thin, that is, two centimeters thick, but it is very hard and looks like a rock. What is this?

At this time, the sisters of the Yuan family also came forward to take a look together.

"This is ......" Yuan Meng took the past stone, looked at it repeatedly for a moment, and said in astonishment, "This is Vajra soil!" ”

"What?" I was stunned, why is this name so familiar, and suddenly a piece of information about "King Kong Earth" suddenly appeared in my mind.

Vajra is a high-tech material inadvertently invented by pre-Qin alchemists. The raw materials are actually clay and some secret materials that are not known to ordinary people, diluted and stirred with mercury, and after condensing into lumps, they are extremely strong, not only waterproof, but also look no different from ordinary basalt.

Since there is vajra soil here, there is no need to ask, the dark path must be here. It's just that the craftsmen who built the ruins here used secret means to block it.

"Stay away, I'm going to work!" Since I have found the secret passage, of course I will come to the coolie.

I picked up the pickaxe and continued to expand on the original gap, and after excavation, I found that although the diamond clay was strong, the hard shell on the surface was actually relatively soft inside, and a large lump of soil could be removed with a pickaxe. In this way, the progress of the excavation is very fast.

However, the thickness of this diamond soil really surprised me, it has been dug for nearly half a meter, and there is still no sign of digging through. This means that my body function has been greatly improved by the magnetic field power of the old corpse, and it is difficult for someone else to bear such a large workload.

Rao is so, my forehead is also full of sweat, an hour later, digging on the stone wall to a depth of nearly one meter, suddenly a pickaxe down, the whole root is not in, the hand feels unusually empty, I am happy in my heart, finally dug through! With a hard pickaxe in his hand, a large piece of diamond earth was pried off. In the stone nest, a black hole the size of a basketball immediately appeared.

"Dig through!" I happily said that it was not in vain, and I continued to widen the gap, and soon a black hole half a meter wide appeared in front of me. A musty smell scraped out of the hole.

I hurriedly jumped down from the hole in the stone wall, I don't know how many years of ** air has been stored in the cave, but I don't dare to rush in, I have to wait for the fresh air to change before I can drill in.

"Wow! It looks so deep," Qingfeng squinted into the cave with a wolf-eyed flashlight.

"Drink some water and get some rest!" Yuan Meng intimately handed me a bottle of water, and then said to Qingfeng with concern, "Stay away from the entrance of the cave, be careful of being smoked by the moldy air!" ”

"I know," Qingfeng said disapprovingly, but still took a half step back.

I rested for a moment, then stood up and said, "Let's get started!" Don't dream too much at night! ”

"Good!" The sisters of the Yuan family packed their bags and looked at me together.

I smiled wryly, "It's not going to be for me to take the lead, is it?" ”

Qingfeng flashed her big playful eyes and looked at me cutely, "It's not you, is it still us?" ”

"Alright! Even if I didn't ask, "I was completely defeated by her innocence."

Carrying my equipment and jumping into the big hole dug in the stone wall, I took a look at the dark and deep cave, and I was really timid! In order to prevent the air from still being toxins, I put on a gas mask, turned on the wolf's eye flashlight, plucked up my courage, and lowered my head into the black hole like the beast's cave.
