In the world of foodies, probably except for life, it is to eat.

In this regard, Yingcheng felt that if Xiang Xiaohua suddenly stopped eating one day, it would be terrifying......

"Don't wear short sleeves, it's cold inside the mine."

The two packed their things, and Xiang Xiaohua put the kettle and snacks into her backpack. The manager was already waiting at the door, and when he saw them coming out, he quickly opened the car door.

"Far away?" Xiang Xiaohua got into the car.

Although the manager is not sure if she is Wincheng's girlfriend, he also knows that the relationship must be unusual, so his attitude is very courteous: "It's quite far, the main reason is that the road is not easy to walk, and we have to drive for an hour." ”

So, when Ying Cheng and Xiang Xiaohua's heads were about to hit out of their bags, they finally arrived at the mine.

"My brother bought it three years ago." Ying Cheng stood at the entrance of the mine and looked at the seal on it, "This is the source of mined sapphires, and all the sapphires in Ying's jewelry store come from here." ”

The manager was a middle-aged man with a sven face, and said with a painful face at this time: "After a month of shutdown, we have directly lost millions. ”

"That's how many donuts you can buy......" Xiang Xiaohua licked the corners of her mouth.

Manager: "......"

"Huh! You don't have to pay attention to her. "Win Cheng tore off the seal," let's go in and have a look. ”

Two experienced miner team leaders were notified and had been waiting here for a long time. And he gave them the hats, and took them into the cave. The cave is not dark, there are special lights hanging every few steps, and there is a vent about a few dozen meters.

"Is it cold?" Winning Che took Xiang Xiaohua's hand, afraid that she would not adapt to the environment here.

I saw Xiang Xiaohua shaking her head and saying that it was not cold, and she also broke off a stone raised from the stone wall.

How stupid it is for ...... to worry about herself!

Ying Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth and let go of her: "Then you follow." ”

The manager who walked behind thought that the stone had fallen by himself, and said, "Don't worry, it's safe here, and we've been strictly following the rules and regulations." ”

After walking for more than ten minutes, a track appeared, several people jumped on the car, and the team leader operated the car to go deeper underground.

"This is where the first accident happened." The car drove all the way to the deepest part of the mine, and Xiang Xiaohua jumped down first. Except for Win, the other three were taken aback.

Win Cheng diverted their attention: "Tell me about the situation at that time. ”

"On that day, three workers were resting here, and after the food delivery came at noon, two went to get the food, and when they came back, they saw that the rest of the people were dead."

The man was stabbed to death with a knife, piercing directly through the heart.

"The food delivery worker and the other two workers were not far ahead, and they didn't see anyone coming." The more the manager spoke, the more creepy he felt, "This is a dead end, and there is no other intersection." ”

One of the team leaders was obviously scared, and said tremblingly: "I came to deliver the meal that day, and no one else has come." ”

"That's why you used the ...... of magical death in your report," Ying Cheng circled around, "This is the first case, and what about the next?" ”

The group got on the bus and went to other forks, a total of seven roads, and there were dead people on each road.

"Five people died at forks 123, three on 45, and two each on 6 and 7." After looking at all the dead people's places, Win Cheng took out the information.

The taste of revisiting the old place was not pleasant, and the faces of the manager and the two team leaders were ugly.

"At first, we kept it a secret, but then when the eighth person died, it spread somehow." A team leader wiped his sweat, "As soon as the police couldn't hide it, they reported it to the local government." ”

The manager sighed: "The company tried its best to maneuver, but four more died during this period, and the local government stopped doing it, and immediately put a seal." ”

"The police don't have any leads?" Ying Cheng frowned, he was a bounty hunter and knew that some people's methods were close to demons.

But...... Such masters never kill indiscriminately, because they are very expensive, and they will not shoot if they don't have money.

"Let's go back." I looked at my watch, and it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xiang Xiaohua had eaten all the snacks in her backpack and was buttoning the stones on the wall.

After another hour of jolting in the car, the manager took his leave when he got back to town, and he had to negotiate with the government. Ying Cheng takes Xiaohua to eat at the only restaurant in town.

"It also sells alcohol." Xiang Xiaohua found that there was a tavern in the restaurant.

Ying Cheng asked for two glasses of freshly brewed beer and ordered barbecue and bread. The owner of the restaurant, a fat man in his fifties, with a beard, was particularly enthusiastic about giving a plate of home-made sausages.

"You're here for that mine, aren't you?" The bearded man sat down, "Is it the owner of the mine?" ”

Ying Cheng smiled and took a sip of beer: "How can you tell!" ”

"Haha!" The bearded man patted Yingcheng's shoulder with a familiar look, "Where do people come to our town, except for the company that bought the mine, it is the workers they employ." ”

He glanced at Xiang Xiaohua and said a little ambiguously: "You little couple don't look like you're here to work, it can only be the boss!" ”

"Well, we're a little couple." Xiang Xiaohua, who was eating barbecue, continued.

Ying Cheng glanced at her and clinked glasses with the bearded boss: "Alas, it's unlucky, our family is in the jewelry business, and most of the investment is in this mine, but this kind of thing happened, if it is not handled well, the company will have to go bankrupt!" ”

"We've all heard, dead ......," the bearded man gestured, "so many people, everyone said they had offended the gods." ”

"Do you still believe this?" Ying Cheng was a little surprised, "What gods are here?" ”

The bearded man grabbed a handful of his beard: "Who knows! Anyway, everyone thinks it's quite godly, why did so many people die? ”

Someone next to him ordered food, and the bearded man beckoned the guests to go, and Yingcheng's gaze was withdrawn from him: "Xiaohua, when you finish eating, you will walk around the street." ”

"Good!" Xiang Xiaohua knew that she was stupid, so Yingcheng said whatever she wanted.

After eating and drinking, Yingcheng went back to his residence to read the information, and Xiang Xiaohua went to hang out.

She walked around until dark, and when she came back, she was still holding a plate of apple pie.

"Where did you steal it?"

Xiang Xiaohua pouted: "An aunt give it!" ”

She helped an aunt take out the garbage, because the garbage was so heavy that the aunt was almost dragging it on the road, so she was especially grateful to her and invited her to the house for a snack.

"What else?" Ying Cheng took the pie and put it in his mouth, "Didn't you meet anyone else?" ”

Xiang Xiaohua shook her head: "Auntie said that most of the people here are elderly, and the young people have gone out." ”

"What else did she say?"

"She also said that when she was young, it was quite lively here, but later it slowly became like this except for an accident."

The aunt told Xiang Xiaohua that fifteen years ago, a wealthy businessman moved here, and they developed a farm at the foot of the mountain, and many tourists came to play every weekend. But it didn't take long for a fire to break out among the wealthy merchants.

"The fire burned all night, and more than a dozen members of the rich man's family were burned to death."

Ying Cheng paused in mid-air with his hand holding the pie, wiped his mouth and went to get the computer.

"I'll check ......" he searched for the name of the town, and sure enough, there were several news pieces about the fire.

Basically, as Xiang Xiaohua said just now, the reason for the fire was that the diesel fuel ignited the stable, and then the house was also burned to the ground.

"It said that the fire was at two o'clock in the middle of the night, so the family was sleeping, and none of them escaped.

Xiang Xiaohua finished eating the apple pie and took a big sip of juice: "This has nothing to do with us, will we go to the mine tomorrow to find clues?" ”

"Not tomorrow." Win the car and close the computer, "Sleep!" ”

At midnight, the tavern was filled with middle-aged men in their forties and fifties, asking for a glass of beer and playing a few cards, and the day in the town ended so plainly and quietly.

"Handsome, this is not the place for you!" A beautiful woman sat down across from him, her deep cleavage glowing seductively feminine in the dim light.

Ying Cheng hooked the corners of his mouth: "Boss lady? ”

"Whew!" The woman ruffled her blonde hair, "Do you think that bearded man deserves me?" ”

"It's hard to say." Ying Cheng's gaze swept over her lower body, "Maybe the beard is powerful in some places!" ”

The woman laughed: "It turns out that he is also dishonest!" ”

"Honestly, I don't come to the tavern in the middle of the night." Ying Cheng poured her a glass of whiskey, "Then why is the beautiful young lady here?" ”

"Guess ......," the woman's hand swiped across the glass, "and there's a reward for guessing right!" ”

Ying Cheng tilted his head to look at her: "Well, the bearded man is the owner of the restaurant during the day, could it be that you are the owner of the tavern at night?" ”

"Tut-tut!" The woman shook her finger, "Little brother, this is not what you guessed, it must have been told to you by the fat man during the day?" ”

"Looks like I guessed right." Yingcheng put down the wine glass, "Then I will drink today's wine for nothing!" ”

The woman threw a wink at him: "Just such a simple request? ”

"I'm an honest man!" Ying Cheng stood up, put the money on the table and turned to leave.

A woman's shout came from behind him, but he didn't look back.

"Alas!" Saili put away the money happily, "Obviously you're interested in me, what else are you pretending, I don't believe you won't come tomorrow night!" ”

Early in the morning, Xiang Xiaohua came back from running as usual, and Ying Cheng sat at the dining table reading the newspaper.

"Your hair grows." As soon as Xiaohua sat down, she heard Yingcheng say, "Go cut your hair!" ”

Xiang Xiaohua glared: "Where did it grow?" "I just cut it before I came.

"......" Ying Cheng glanced at him, "You can't see it yourself, the back is forked." ”

So, after breakfast, Xiang Xiaohua was led to a barber shop in the town, which is also the only barber shop in the town......

"Hello!"

A middle-aged man turned around, the sun shining right on him, but he didn't feel warm at all. This person wears glasses, his eyebrows are very thin, and his facial features are quite delicate, but I don't know why I always feel very gloomy.

"Can you give her a haircut?" Ying Cheng pressed Xiang Xiaohua to the chair.
