Chapter 23: The Chilling Underground Truth

Her eyes.

What the workers were throwing into the stove seemed to be...... The stump of the human body. But it's all mutilated, and it seems that a lot of the fat and flesh have been removed.

Hao Se's face was a little difficult to look at, his chest was very tight, and there was a faint feeling of suffocation.

If those things are really human stumps, look at this posture, there are quite a few of them.

Could it be that those missing people have something to do with it? Will it all become fuel in this furnace?

But what is the reason for the need to use corpses as fuel? And why throw the stump in, if you really need the human body as fuel, wouldn't it be more convenient to throw the whole person in, why dismember it piece by piece?

Also, since there is a incinerator here, why are the two corpses of a woman and a woodcutter next to the courtyard thrown outside, and the gangsters provoke the government to come?

Hao Se felt a slight chill in her heart, didn't she just be a young Yin of the Shengdu Mansion, to put it nicely, it was the mayor of the capital, why did she just start, the painting style became what kind of perverted murderer serial crime, plus the mysterious underground space burned the corpse, and it was also involved with touching porcelain bowls or something, and it might also involve high-ranking officials in the court.

Isn't this a proper suspense script?

What the hell is going on, did you get the wrong script for her?

She's not a killer agent, she's just an unreliable member of a mixed agent organization that doesn't do business.

She's a god of science.

Spit and complain, Hao Se's three views are still quite positive.

Hehe, since she has become the Shaoyin of the Shengdu Mansion, she must be worthy of this identity.

This trip to the troubled waters has already waded in.

Just as he was thinking about how to sneak in and check the rows of cave rooms on the west side of the kiln, the busy workers began to shout.

"Call it a day, call it a day, cough cough, cough cough."

"It's time to eat, it's time to eat, ouch, I'm tired of Lao Tzu, cough, cough."

"Mr. Sun, tonight's stove is on your duty, but don't cut off the heat, there are a lot of bowls in this batch, but don't go out of the basket."

A group of workers hula-la-la, shoved and scrambled towards the east side of the cave hall.

Hao Se looked to the east, and over there, there were also a number of quite large cave rooms, which seemed to be the canteen and rest and sleeping place for this group of workers.

There were also some gray-clad men dressed as guards nearby, apparently guarding the group of workers. The clothes are very similar to those of the morning and evening.

It seems that the third and fourth should be the second of the guards in this cave.

After these workers were gone, taking advantage of the gap between Sun Laoqi, who was on duty, bowing his head and dozing off in front of the stove, Hao Se sneaked into the west side of the cave.

There, there are several holes in the holes, and because of the staggered and light, the group of guards and workers who are eating on the east side can't see the situation here.

Hauser looked at the holes and found that the openings of each cave had doors installed. There are no mechanisms on the doors, but there are heavy brass locks hanging from them. There are five copper locks hung on each door, giving her the illusion that she has strayed into XX heavy land and is not allowed to enter.

Hao Se plucked the hairpin from his head, pulled the tip a few times, and popped out a very thin copper wire.

Lockpicking, she's a professional, as a mixed in that organization, although she was expelled, but this is a basic skill, so it's naturally easy to master.

With a slight click, the lock opened, and Hao Se's slender figure slid in.

……

Shortly after Hauser entered the room, a black figure slid in.

When Hauser entered, she saw that the hole in the cave was quite large, and she was currently in a circular passage that ran from east to west like a corridor, and the hole was divided into several rooms from left to right, each with no door.

Hauser walked straight to the room on the far left side of the passage.

In the room, three walls are filled with storage cabinets that resemble exhibition shelves.

The lattice of the first storage shelf was densely filled with many transparent glass jars, which seemed to be soaked with some medicinal herbs.

The second storage shelf is also full of glass jars, but it is not soaked in medicinal herbs, but some blocky objects.

Hao Se took a closer look, and his heart was numb again.

Inside, the soaking should be some pieces of meat, red, white and white, looking at the texture and characteristics, it seems to be ...... Pieces of meat from the human body.

Hauser looked at the third storage shelf, and on top of it was something mushy, and the smell was familiar, similar to that of the poppy bowl.

Seeing this, although he still didn't understand the specific reason and process, Hao Se could guess that those missing people should have been brought here.

The corpses were dismembered, some pieces of meat were pickled here, and the skeletons were thrown into the stove outside and burned.

This piece of meat is supposed to react with the drug, and after some unknown treatment, it became part of the raw material of the poppy bowl.

I don't know what kind of evil method it is, and it needs the human body to make raw materials.

Resisting the urge to vomit, Hao Se walked to the second room, which was divided into several rooms, which were connected in the middle, and there were no checkgates or anything like that, so they could enter and exit at will.

In the second room, there are no storage shelves, only two large pits in the middle of the room, filled with things that look like mud, the raw material for making ceramic products.

The mud in the pit on the left, like the raw material used to make the porcelain, is nothing special.

The smell of mud in the pit on the right is closer to that of a poppy touching a porcelain bowl.

Hauser guessed that the one on the left should be normal clay, and the one on the right should be the mud with the human flesh.

Holding back the growing chill of his vest, Hauser entered the third room.

Inside, it looks like an exhibition room. On the storage shelves, there are some ceramic products neatly placed, whether it is the color pattern or the style, it can be seen that it is extremely high-grade porcelain.

And the taste is exactly the same as the bowl she smashed at Jing Yi's house.

Hao Se took a deep breath, his heart heavy.

By now, the poppy ceramic bowl, she has understood how it came about.

It's just that just for a magical fragrant bowl, why did he lose his conscience and kill people's lives so much.

Hao Se felt a little sad in his heart, was it just for the expensive price, for the silver?

She thinks that there may be more than one reason, but money should be one of the certain motives, after all, if people walk into the eyes of money, it is not for nothing that their conscience is extinguished.

However, intuitively, there should be a deeper inside story behind this.

Kissing this fragrance that could not be ignored, she finally understood why the Xiangquan Courtyard was built in this halfway up the mountain, and why the pastry production of the Dry Taste Workshop was placed in the Xiangquan Courtyard.

It's not because you need fragrant spring water halfway up the mountain.

Rather, it is to hide the real secret underneath.

The intense aroma produced from the pastry suppresses and obfuscates the true aroma of the underground.

Because of this kiln, there must be chimneys and the like to ventilate the ground, and the smell will inevitably spread out, so in order to cover up, the pastry production is deliberately made in a separate yard.

In this way, there will no longer be any suspicion that the other courtyard always smells.

She also understood why Chao's sputum was thick and yellow and blood-streaked, and why Chao's sputum and the workers here were always coughing.

Because this is an occupational disease, it is not uncommon to work in the environment of the kiln all year round, and to be trapped underground with poor air circulation, so the body is not affected.

Hauser walked into the last room, which seemed to be a reference room, like a bookshelf, with a lot of notebooks in it.

Hauser casually flipped through it and found that there was a lot of information recorded in different categories.

For example, the firing of porcelain, the arrangement of manpower, etc. are recorded. There is also information such as the number of missing persons. I searched for a long time, but I didn't find any information about the person in charge behind the scenes.

Hauser turned around a row of bookshelves, ready to continue flipping through.

But he was caught off guard and collided head-on with a person, making a bang.

At this moment, the sound of the guards opening the door and talking sounded outside the gate at the same time.
