I was startled at first when I saw a person lying in the cave, and subconsciously swept over with a flashlight to take a photo, but the person didn't react at all.

I looked at him again, and suddenly I saw a large wet patch under his body, and the light of the flashlight swept up, and it reflected a dark red light!

It's blood!

This man fell in a pool of blood!

I finally know where this bloody breath came from in the thief cave.

"This man must be dead." I whispered.

After that, I had to go over and pull the man.

Lao Wei hurriedly reminded: "Xiao Chen, be careful, the smell of blood is so strong, it is estimated that this person has not been dead for long, beware that the murderer is nearby!" ”

"Understood." I nodded in response.

While I was talking to Lao Wei, the tiger baby strode forward, grabbed the man's arm, turned the man over, and made him fall face up to the ground.

At this time, I saw that it was a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, wearing a common jacket and overalls for mountaineering, and a pair of boots on his feet.

Looking at it again, his fatal wounds were several crossbow arrows in the chest and stomach, some of which were deep and some were shallow, but it is estimated that all of them hit the organs of the deceased, causing a large amount of bleeding.

Seeing this scene, the tiger baby couldn't help but pouted and said, "This guy died really miserably, one, two, three, four, five...... Good fellow, five arrows in the body! I'm about to shoot like a hedgehog! ”

Lao Wei sighed and said, "The dead are the greatest, tiger baby, you should leave some virtue." ”

After saying that, he touched the body, probably to judge the time when the deceased was killed.

At this time, Xiao Liang suddenly squatted down beside the deceased, took a closer look at the crossbow arrow on his body, and showed a thoughtful look.

Seeing this, I walked over and asked, "What's the matter, Xiao Liang, have you found any clues?" ”

Xiao Liang pointed to the crossbow arrows and asked me in a low voice, "Chen Rongsheng, don't you think these crossbow arrows are familiar?" ”

I said, "What's so familiar about this?" Don't all crossbow arrows look the same? How? Is there a difference? ”

Xiao Liang couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Of course there is a difference, because our country prohibits crossbows, so the crossbow arrows that are generally seen are privately made by black factories. ”

As soon as Xiao Liang explained this, I understood, and I asked her, "So these crossbow arrows look familiar to you?" Have you ever seen anything like this? ”

Xiao Liang nodded and said, "Not only have I seen similar ones, but you have also seen similar ones, Chen Rongsheng, have you forgotten the crossbow arrows used by the group of people in the ancient Shu tomb of Tuojiang before?" ”

When Xiao Liang said this, I suddenly recalled that the mouse called "bamboo pole" under the shopkeeper Wang used a crossbow arrow of similar style?

It seems that Xiao Liang is still delicate, and I still remember the style of these crossbow arrows, I basically forgot all of them, if it wasn't for Xiao Liang's reminder, I wouldn't have remembered it at all.

But after thinking about it again, I felt that something was wrong, so I asked Xiao Liang: "Xiao Liang, do you mean that the murderer is the person who is the king's shopkeeper?" Since you recognize that this is the crossbow arrow used by the king's shopkeeper, doesn't it mean that the king's shopkeeper killed people? But the shopkeeper Wang has long been arrested, not only him, but even his son Xiao Wang's shopkeeper has been arrested, how can his people appear in the ancient city of Qushang? ”

Xiao Liang shook his head and said: "I can't figure this out, you're right, the tomb robbery gang of the shopkeeper Wang has been wiped out, and the rats under his hands must have been scattered, unless there is a new pot person who takes over the rats who originally followed the shopkeeper Wang, and forms a new tomb robbery gang." ”

"It's possible." I agreed, "Anyway, who are these rats messing up with?" Dayong also said that it is not often to recognize the eyes, but there are people everywhere, and the old people are caught, and it is possible for the rats to find a new pot person to open the pot and eat. ”

The two of us were chatting here, and the tiger baby in front of us suddenly shouted: "There is still a dead man here!" ”

We hurriedly walked over, and saw that there was still a dead man lying on the ground not far in front of the robbery cave, this dead man was also a tomb robber's attire, he fell to the ground on his back, and there were two crossbow arrows on his chest and neck, which were also killed by crossbow arrows from a long distance.

Seeing this, Lao Wei frowned, and said in a deep voice, "My God, what's the situation?" Could it be that two groups of tomb robbers have caught fire in the graveyard? ”

Xiao Liang searched the pockets of the two tomb robbers, and took out a pack of cigarettes from the jacket pocket of one of the tomb robbers, she took a closer look at it, and said to us: "This person should be the tomb robber who was watching the wind in the tent at the beginning, he must have heard the accomplice's call for help, so he rushed over from the tent, but he didn't expect to be ambushed in the hole, and was shot dead on the spot by crossbow arrows." ”

Lao Wei nodded and said, "It should be like this." ”

After that, he deduced: "How do I think there are more than just these corpses in this robbery cave." ”

Xiao Liang's face turned pale and said, "If it is true that two groups of tomb robbers met in the robbery cave, it must be more than that." ”

Lao Wei said yes, and took us to continue looking, and sure enough, after walking a few steps forward, we saw two more corpses lying on the ground.

The two bodies died in different ways, one was stabbed to death with a sharp object and had several external wounds on his torso, and the other died as if he had been hit in the back of the head with a blunt object during the scuffle, except for a blur of flesh and blood on the back of the head, and only scratches from the scuffle.

In short, the scene was very tragic, and it can be seen that there should be a large-scale fight between two groups of tomb robbers in this robbery hole.

Lao Wei was very helpless after reading it, shook his head and said: "The ancient city of Qushang is really a treasure land, the tomb robbers are all piled up, last time it was the big hand and Uncle Liu Huang who fought in the woods, if we didn't arrive in time, it is estimated that there would be a lot of death." This time, he did it directly in the thief hole, and four people died. ”

The tiger baby was quite optimistic, and said: "If we can meet the dead, it means that we have found the right route, and if we go down from this thief cave, there must be a crystal palace below!" ”

I also nodded and said, "That's right, this must be the fairy cave." But I'm afraid that other tomb robbers will take the lead, so let's go down quickly. ”

Lao Wei nodded, ignored the four corpses at the scene for the time being, took the lead with a flashlight, and continued to walk with us.

After walking some distance along the Robbery Cave, the Robbery Cave began to show a significant slope, which began to extend downwards again.

By the inertia of the downhill slope, I couldn't help but speed up my pace under my feet, and walked a few steps forward, but I hadn't seen the Crystal Palace yet, but suddenly I faintly heard a sound of humming and chirping.

I listened with my ears pricked up, recognizing what appeared to be a young woman's voice.
