Chapter Twenty-Three: The Secret of the Ancestral Hall
In the middle of the night, in the dead of night, people have already fallen asleep, the crescent moon appears and disappears in the clouds, only a few major roads are still dimly lit, there are no human figures on the roads, and the wind blows the leaves constantly, as if someone is playing tricks.
At this time, a black shadow flashed in a small dark alley, he covered his head with his clothes, beat around the corner, followed the alleys, and finally walked quickly to the door of the "Rong Ji" noodle shop, "Tuk Tuk" knocked twice, stuffed in a note and left.
Boss Yang put on his clothes and went downstairs, he looked out from the crack in the door, the person who came had disappeared without a trace, he picked up the small note, only to see that it was written: "See you according to the plan." "Boss Yang knew at a glance that it was the order of the ace of hearts, of course, he didn't know what the plan was, and he didn't need to care about things that had nothing to do with him, he just played the role of a messenger.
A pile of grass on the hillside behind the "Yang Ji" noodle shop was slowly pushed away, slowly revealing a black shadow, this person was none other than Boss Yang, he looked around, took advantage of the dim moonlight, turned his head from time to time to look around, made sure that there was no tail behind him, passed through a few small alleys, turned around the corner, avoided the street, went around in a big circle, followed the path, and walked to the suburbs......
Next to an old elm tree, Boss Yang looked around, stuffed a small note into a hole, and then, like a thief, quickly left, around the corner, through several small alleys, removed the stone slabs and weeds hidden at the entrance of the hole, and entered the house, he breathed a sigh of relief......
The original jaw-dropping ancestral hall of the Song family, no one dared to patronize it during the day, if it was in a group, it was also to rush to the front and avoid the back, and at night, it was even more cloudy and windy. At this moment a dark figure came in from the wall of the courtyard with great speed, and by the dim light he quickly passed through the corridor, avoiding the pillars, turning over the window, and feeling the darkness to the sanctuary where the tablets were to be placed.
A gust of wind blew, the doors and windows made a "squeak" sound, as if people were opening, the wind squeezed in from the crack in the door "whirring" chaotic sound, like a ghost crying wolf, making people creepy and out of the body. Suddenly, a black hand reached out to the feet of the black shadow, the black shadow held his breath, sensitively took out the pistol on his waist, and only heard a few "chirps", it turned out to be a mouse, a false alarm.
This black shadow is none other than Wang Jin, the head of the investigation section. He's going to come to this magic kiln to find out what is going on so that he can make his next move.
For the first three nights, he had spent three sleepless nights in this place where only foxes, fairies and ghosts haunted him, with snakes and insects as his companions, and by the tablets, and although he found nothing, he still had to persevere, and he thought: "We must uncover the mystery here." ”
He was here for the fourth day, and he was in the old place, listening to the different sounds coming from all sides. He would not let go of even a suspicious sound.
As the minutes passed, he only felt a gust of wind coming towards him from time to time, and the rats were still "chirping". Suddenly, he felt a strange "clatter" on the stone slab on the altar, not a mouse, let alone the wind, so he became alert. By the dim light, staring intently at the offering platform, I saw that the third tablet close to the offering table was moving, so the slate began to move slowly, shooting a faint purple light from the removed slit, as the slit slowly increased, a black shadow slowly revealed its head, gradually revealing the whole body, and then, the black shadow pressed the third tablet, and the slate slowly covered it, and everything returned to its original state. I saw the black shadow leap forward, through the corridor, and beyond the wall.
Wang Jin followed closely, because it was too dark, and the black shadow was covered with a black turban on his head, he couldn't see the "true face of Lushan" of the black shadow at all.
Wang Jin returned to the temple and came to the altar, where he moved left and right. Suddenly, the stone slab on the altar began to slowly move away, and when he looked inside, it was so dark that he couldn't see anything, and he rolled over and went down. I saw that it was pitch black inside, this was a black channel, Wang Jin went down the road with a weak flashlight, and when he got to the bottom, he saw that the passage was criss-crossed, extending in all directions, and he couldn't figure out where it was the import and where it led to the exit. I saw that the passage was more than 1 meter wide and more than 2 meters high, and the channel wall was all poured with reinforced concrete, and the wall was wet, so that the whole passage was cloudy and windy, and the cold was pressing.
Wang Jin held a pistol in his right hand, a flashlight in his left hand, his body was close to the wall of the passage and touched forward, an aisle, he quickly turned around, and entered another passage, here is a small room, there is a person lying faintly on the ground, he was startled, the pistol was immediately aimed at the lying person, with a flashlight, it turned out to be a pile of white bones, suddenly felt creepy, it seems that this person has been dead for a long time, the body has long been rotten, only a pile of white bones remains, the skull, the bones of the limbs are clearly identifiable, who will this deceased be? Why die here? When did you die? A string of question marks appeared in Wang Jin's mind.
He continued to move on, and came to another passageway, only to see that there was an iron door closed here, and a rusty iron lock was hung on the door, and he pulled it hard, without wavering, "What is here?" Could it be that the enemy is hiding something inside? He pondered.
Wang Jin continued to move forward, but seeing that the field of vision in front of him was wide, he used a faint flashlight to partially shine through, this was originally a hall, enough to accommodate dozens of people, and on the wall next to it hung a pair of mirror frames, which were painted with a violet watercolor, which emitted a faint purple light under the light of the flashlight.
He thought, "Is there a connection between this violet watercolor and the 'Purple Light' project?" So he touched the frame, when he touched the top of the frame, he found something, look closely, it turned out to be a key, and then, he found that one of the four bolts on the four corners was slightly larger, and there was a small hole in the middle, he put the key into the hole, at this time, the frame was slowly removed, only to see that there was a niche inside, the niche clearly wrote the names of many people, divided into 5 groups, the leader of the person is the code name, he quickly took out a miniature camera to the list "click", at this time, He suddenly felt a light coming in, said it was too late, it was too soon, and he quickly closed the alcove and hid himself.
The light was getting brighter and brighter, and the silhouette of a person was getting closer and closer, and Wang Jin thought to himself, "Who could this person be?" What did he come in for? Is it the same person who just went out? Although this person still wore a black hood on his head, when he passed by Wang Jin, Wang Jin was stunned, the body shape and figure of the black shadow were so familiar to him, he firmly believed that this person was none other than Tao Ran.
Wang Jin thought, "What is he doing here?" To find out what is true. ”
I saw Tao Ran extinguish the flashlight, "click", drew a match, lit a candle next to the table, took out a box, set up the radio, and operated it "bit by bit".
Wang Jin thought to himself: "In addition to the information he has mastered here, there must be some secrets hidden, whether the first one to come in is Tao Ran, he still doesn't know, there are other exits, he still has to continue to find out the situation, he concluded that due to time constraints, no one will come in again." So he took the bold step and continued to search.
At a bend, he found another passage, he continued to walk, he opened a stone slab, only to see that it was overgrown with weeds, it turned out to be a col in the west mountain, and the east had revealed the white of the fish's belly, and he quickly left.
