Chapter 262: Captain Cao who was completely convinced
Yao Weimin's actions made Cao Hui and the others in the rear frown, and a solemn look appeared in their eyes.
Everyone present felt that this buyer from Sijiu City was simply too bold.
Because it is still uncertain whether the black snake is still dormant in the cave, it is just approaching alone, in case the black snake shows its head, the consequences are unimaginable.
At this time, Yao Weimin's mind was all in that cave, and after he approached this area, he released the space, with the assistance of space, his field of vision was the size of a football field and a half, it was like bringing his own telescope, and the search was twice as effective with half the effort.
He had clearly 'seen' that there was no living creature in the cave, so he dared to approach and carefully examine the black marks left on the cave walls.
This is the same as what I saw in Chen Sanlin's house before, it is the kind of weird black mud that volatilizes when it meets the sun.
Yao Weimin felt that this cave might be related to the ancient tomb, but when he carefully explored it with the help of space, he found that the innermost part was a dead end, without any passage.
His space can only be extended in the void, and there is no way to pass through obstacles, that is to say, when Yao Weimin is in a room, he can only cover the interior of the room, and even if his space area is large, there is no way to extend to the outside of the room.
Unless, this room has a passage connected to the outside, even the slightest gap can control the space to pass through, and then cover a wider area.
At this time, Yao Weimin's brows furrowed slightly, and after pondering for a while without any ideas, he decided to take this place as the center and spread out with everyone to look for Su Jianjun and the others to see if there were any new discoveries.
But when he turned to face everyone, he was a little surprised, only to see that Cao Hui at this time and a group of people picked up weapons in his direction, and they could pull the trigger at any time.
"Ahem, it's safe here, let's put down our weapons first."
Yao Weimin realized that these people were on guard against the black snakes that would appear at any time in the cave, so he opened his mouth and signaled everyone not to be nervous.
He took a few steps to the crowd and said to Cao Hui seriously: "Captain Cao, let's not waste time here, it's important to find someone, what do you think?" ”
Cao Hui reacted immediately when he heard this, and loudly ordered the personnel with him to start marching around, looking for the missing Su Jianjun and Zhao Quan.
And he himself hesitated slightly, and led two people to keep up with Yao Weimin's pace and walked in one direction.
Yao Weimin was very fast, not picking up the grass like others at all, or walking behind the rocks to find it slowly, but quickly walking through the woodland, which made Cao Hui frown, and couldn't help but speak:
"Comrade Yao, wait for me!" As he spoke, he quickly chased after him, "Comrade Yao, I understand your feelings, but you need patience to search in the wild, so it's okay, there are many dangers in the mountains, you just follow the three of us, don't go too far." ”
He felt that although Yao Weimin claimed to be a former scout, he didn't seem to have any search experience, and it would be even more troublesome to rush forward by himself so rashly, if he accidentally encountered some danger again.
"Time waits for no one, hurry up!" Yao Weimin's feet didn't stop, and he didn't have time to explain anything to Cao Hui at the moment, so he continued to walk quickly towards the front.
He now freed up the space, covering the ground nearby, and the surrounding scenery could be clearly reflected in his mind, just like looking down on a partial map on a computer in his previous life, and no trace could escape his visit.
Cao Hui was speechless, looking a little annoyed, but at this time, the situation was urgent, especially when he saw that Yao Weimin walked forward for more than ten meters, he had to be dissatisfied in his heart, and waved his hand to signal the two people around him to speed up the search.
In this way, he searched all the way to the depths of the mountains for two or three miles, but Yao Weimin still found nothing, which made him look solemn and his brows furrowed slightly.
Looking around, he groaned slightly, jumped off a boulder and searched the depths.
Breaking through the distance of four or five hundred meters horizontally again, finally, Yao Weimin used the space to capture an area in the distance, his eyes stared, and he took a few steps to get closer.
Cao Hui, who was in the rear, was even more speechless when he saw him change direction, and considering the explanation of his superiors, he decided to wait for Yao Weimin to catch up, and then forcibly ordered the other party to withdraw from the mountains and forests to avoid accidents.
But when he rushed closer, he was stunned, only to see Yao Weimin staring at the lighter and a cigarette butt falling on the ground at this time, frowning and thinking.
"This is a lighter for my colleague, who used to smoke here and stayed for a while, just ...... Why didn't you go back to the village directly? Lighters are fine, why throw them away? ”
Yao Weimin lowered his head to check the marks on the ground, frowning and muttering to himself.
"Comrade Yao, you ...... Found?! Cao Hui asked subconsciously at this time, with an extremely suspicious look on his face.
Such a small lighter, it is almost difficult to find when it is thrown in the grass, Yao Weimin is walking so fast, how did he see it?!
Yao Weimin nodded symbolically, picked up the iron kerosene lighter, and without saying a word, walked quickly towards the front again.
Seeing this, Cao Hui didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly followed, and the two of them came to an area about fifty meters away from the place where the lighter was dropped.
The ground was messy, a lot of weeds had been trampled by footprints, and a few cigarette butts were scattered on the ground.
Yao Weimin found that the cigarette butts on the ground were all with filters, obviously not the cigarettes that Su Jianjun smoked, his face was ugly, and he vaguely guessed that Su Jianjun and Zhao Quan might have encountered the group of people who robbed the tomb, thinking that those people were carrying human lives, he didn't have time to wait for Cao Hui to approach, quickly identify the direction, and run forward.
When Cao Hui came closer, he wanted to stop Yao Weimin, but his eyes noticed the clues on the ground, and he was speechless.
With a shocked face, he looked at Yao Weimin's back, his mouth opened, but he forcibly held back his words.
If it is said that the lighter was found, Yao Weimin was a blind cat who touched a dead mouse, just in time, but it is not a coincidence that he accurately found the location of this trace one after another.
"Xiao Li, collect the evidence immediately, Xiao Nie, you follow me, Comrade Yao may still find out in front, let's hurry up and follow!"
Cao Hui shouted to the two people who followed behind him, and after speaking, he took the lead in chasing in the direction of Yao Weimin.
Yao Weimin didn't need to go at this time, his body was as light as a civet cat, galloping through the jungle, while trying his best to open up the space, quickly searching the surrounding situation.
This method is actually very brain-consuming, but in order to find Su Jianjun's whereabouts as soon as possible, Yao Weimin tried his best, even if his brain hurt like a needle prickly from time to time, he still gritted his teeth and endured it, not daring to delay for a second longer.
After galloping for more than ten minutes again, Yao Weimin's spirit was almost exhausted, although his face was sweating, but his face was not flushed due to strenuous exercise, but slightly pale.
Just when he saw that he was unable to continue, a new discovery was finally made in his field of vision.
In the distance, in the col, there were traces of dirt moving behind a boulder, and there were several cigarette butts with filters thrown on the ground.
Yao Weimin quickly approached there, circled behind the boulder to check, and at the same time retracted the space in order to soothe the sharp pain in his head.
He looked closely at the messy footprints on the ground, and following the trails, he saw that they had disappeared beside a pile of dead leaves in the distance.
Yao Weimin picked up a branch and brushed aside the leaves on the ground, revealing a bluestone slab inside, about the size of a round table, and there were traces of artificially opened on the edges of the bluestone slab, which made his eyes slightly condensed, and he guessed that he might have found the entrance to the ancient tomb.
Judging from the situation at the scene, it is very likely that those tomb robbers have already entered, and even Su Jianjun and Xu Damao may have been held hostage into the ancient tomb!
Yao Weimin put his hand into the soil on the edge of the bluestone slab and tried it, and found that the bluestone slab was very thick, and it was difficult to lift it up with his own strength.
Just as he was about to find a thicker branch and make a simple lever out of stones, he faintly heard Cao Hui's shout.
"Comrade Yao, it's dangerous in the mountains, I order you to slow down, right away!"
Yao Weimin flashed out from behind the boulder, making Cao Hui, who was about to run forward, stunned.
"Captain Cao, there is a situation here, you should find the entrance to the ancient tomb!" Yao Weimin beckoned.
Cao Hui looked excited when he heard this, even though he had already seen Yao Weimin's superb methods, but at this time, there was still a look of surprise in his eyes, he couldn't figure out why Yao Weimin walked so fast, but found the most clues.
With Xiao Nie, the two of them turned behind the boulder and came to the bluestone slab.
"Captain Cao, I suspect that this is the entrance to the ancient tomb, you look at the turning soil next to it, nine times out of ten it is the handiwork of the tomb robbers, combined with the clues I just discovered, I speculate that my colleague is also very likely to be taken hostage into the tomb by the tomb robbers!"
Yao Weimin briefly recounted his judgment, and then said: "Without further ado, I suggest that Captain Cao call everyone over as soon as possible, go into the tomb together to rescue my colleagues, and arrest those tomb robbers!" ”
"Good! I'll arrange it right away! At this time, Cao Hui admired Yao Weimin in his heart, and without hesitation, he turned to his subordinate Xiao Nie and ordered:
"You immediately go and meet up with Xiao Li in the back, inform the other team members of the discovery here, and let them hurry here and go to the tomb to catch the thief together!"
"Yes!" Xiao Nie had an excited look in his eyes, wiped his sweat and quickly ran back in the direction he came from.
Yao Weimin, who was waiting in place, was not idle, he motioned for Cao Hui to test the weight of the bluestone slab with him, and found that he could barely move a little distance.
So they motioned to Cao Hui to help, and the two of them used all their strength to remove the bluestone slab from a small gap.
Cao Hui didn't know what Yao Weimin meant, and was about to ask, but saw Yao Weimin gently shake his head at him and make a silent gesture.
Seeing Yao Weimin in a daze with his hand on the bluestone slab, and had no intention of speaking, Cao Hui had no choice but to stand up and look at the surrounding environment.
If the bluestone slab moves away a little gap, Yao Weimin can release the space and explore the situation inside through the gap!
This is a slanted downward stone passage, about a meter in diameter, at most only one adult can bend over to pass, the stone walls on both sides and on the top are flat and smooth, only the stone wall under the feet is potholes, I think it is deliberately designed in this way, easy to climb and walk.
Yao Weimin tried his best to look inside the passage, and gradually saw the situation at the end of the passage.
It was a large stone chamber, in the pitch black environment, and a candle was lit in the southeast corner, and by the flickering candlelight, three figures could be seen in the stone chamber.
One of them sat not far from the candle, gauze tied around his arm, and a weapon in the other, the muzzle of the gun was intentionally or unintentionally aimed at the two men sitting in the center of the stone chamber.
The two of them were very close, the older one kept his head down, and the other back, Yao Weimin, was very familiar, it was Zhao Quan who had met before entering Ge Lao Village!
At this time, Zhao Quan was talking to the old man in a low voice, because Yao Weimin's space had been extended here, so he could hear their conversation.
"Uncle Sanlin, I really didn't expect you to be this kind of person!" Since Zhao Quan was arrested here, he didn't know how many times he had said this sentence, and he complained angrily again at this time.
"Hey, don't say anything, it's come to this, this time it's uncle's sorry for you!" The old man hung his head and couldn't help but reply, his tone was both desperate and unwilling.
"Hey...... I said that if you and your son want to pull it, they will open it up, and they will be idle anyway, so let me participate in it! ”
The man with the gauze tied to his arm smiled, the muzzle of the gun in his hand constantly aimed at the two of them, and his tone was playful.
"Seventh brother, I don't want any of the things in it, let our grandfather and son go, I promise that no one will say anything after I go out, just treat it as if there is no such thing!"
When the old man heard the man on the other side speak, he slowly raised his head, and when he saw that the muzzle of the gun was facing him, he couldn't help but plead again.
"Chen Sanlin, you still claim to be a master, now let you go, then you have to bring someone to kill us immediately?
Besides, since you've been on our way, you want to quit now? It's hard!
Hey, but there's a way to do it, why don't you try it? The man said at the end, squinting playfully.
The old man sitting with Zhao Quan was the charlatan Chen Sanlin that Yao Weimin was looking for at the beginning, and at this time, he saw the man's playful look by the candlelight of Mohu Lake, and he couldn't help but react immediately, and he was so frightened that he trembled.
But after hearing this, Zhao Quan was full of hope, and hurriedly asked the man, "What way?" Comrade, if you have any requirements, as long as you can do it, I promise to help you do it......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Chen Sanlin in a low voice.
"Shut up, don't talk if you don't want to die!"
Zhao Quan was a little stunned when he was reprimanded, and he didn't realize what the man's so-called method meant.
But when the man saw that Chen Sanlin had become honest, he didn't bother to talk to Zhao Quan, and after scolding with a smile, he continued to turn his head to look at a stone wall directly opposite him, with a strong sense of expectation on his face.
