"Can I say I don't know either?"

Huo Yijun shrugged: "To be precise, my father, my grandfather doesn't know very well, Xinglong pawnshop has not always been the property of the Huo family, it was my uncle who came from someone else, and he didn't run much after taking over, no one cares if this shop is not profitable, and naturally no one counts the pawned things." ”

"Now it's because my dad manages the pawn shop, so I accidentally asked about the pawn, and my dad revealed the warehouse address, but they haven't been here."

Zuo Yanqing emphatically asked again: "In other words, the Huo family doesn't know what is in the dead warehouse?" ”

"Yes." Huo Yijun nodded.

Zuo Yanqing asked again: "Will they know what they haven't told you, in fact, they don't know nothing." ”

"Maybe, I really don't know." Huo Yijun responded absentmindedly, and then got up to find the location of the warehouse marked on the map in his hand, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the location of the deserted village was the warehouse, "No, it's strange." ”

Jiang Xie got up and looked over: "What's wrong?" ”

"There's nothing special marked on the map, is the warehouse in a deserted village?" Huo Yijun handed over the map.

Jiang Xie looked at it, and then turned around: "Is there a possibility that you took the map backwards, in fact, the mark has already told you." ”

It's a possibility.

After he looked at it, he clearly pointed out the location of the warehouse, and the group followed Jiang Xie to a cave near the mountain in the deserted village.

Tucked away deep in the mountains, surrounded by dead wood forests, the cave is almost impossible to spot.

The group entered the cave one after another, but no one noticed that there was a boundary monument in the weeds at the entrance of the cave with the words 'Death as a cave' written on it.

Zuo Yanqing lit a fire and walked in front of people to explore the way, Xiang Xiu followed beside him, Zhong Ji and Mallet walked at the end of the line, and Jiang Xie and Huo Yijun were not walking in the middle, they were very careful along the way.

"Such a long road, are we going to the grave?" As he walked, he wondered, "This looks like a tomb, and it has an eerie atmosphere, how can the storage warehouse of a good pawn shop be here?" ”

However, no one in the group could give him an answer.

Everyone's attention is drawn to the relief paintings on the walls, which seem to tell a story.

The serpent-tailed woman is in the ritual of sacrifice, with five people tied to the altar, and on the back of their necks there is a pattern of three heavy birds, and this pattern is the mark that the pawn shop now uses to mark the goods of the dead pawn.

Jiang Xie took the fire fold and looked at the contents of these paintings carefully, and turned his head to talk to Zuo Yanqing: "The pattern painted on the relief is the same as the mark of the pawn shop's death, will the murder case jointly investigated by Dali Temple and the Criminal Department be related to the sacrifice on the relief?" ”

"After all, these people are dying in almost the same way, it's really too weird, I have a hunch that this matter will not be over, and a bigger storm will befall us again, and we must be more careful from now on."

"Agreed." Zuo Yanqing walked forward.

Jiang Xie followed: "Brother Zuo, tell me more about the current case." ”

"Since I want to hear it, I'll talk about it."

Several people behind him seemed to be careless about the content of the case, after all, it was not a case taken over by Seimasai.

Only Huo Yijun pricked up his ears to listen.

"Now the case in my hand was discovered three days ago, when the household transport envoy was transporting salt and iron on the Jinghe River, suddenly I found that there were floating corpses on the Jinghe River, and the transport envoy immediately turned the rudder to check, and this time more than 20 floating corpses were found on the river bay, and all of them were men."

"After the transfer envoy docked, reported to Dali Temple, I took people to salvage the floating corpse, and found that the back neck of the floating corpse was the pattern of three heavy birds, at first I thought it was a totem, but we checked the ancient books and previous cases, and found that there was no at all."

Jiang Xie asked: "Then I have a problem, since the denial is a totem, how did you guess that this has something to do with pawns?" ”

Zuo Yanqing walked in front and analyzed for him as he walked: "These people are wearing clothes that only dock workers wear, these dead people have calluses on their hands, and their belts are sailor's knots, plus we have drawn portraits and hair, so as to determine that these floating corpses are all laborers on the docks of the Huo Family Shipping Company." ”

"They used to work well, but then they lost their tracks, and the foreman on the dock thought that these people were gone, so no one cared."

Xiang Xiu sighed: "But I didn't expect that all these people were killed and thrown in Jinghe, it's really miserable." ”

"Anything else you've discovered?"

"It's nothing, you may find these, if Lord Huo reminds me, I'm afraid this picture will take a long time to investigate."

The group walked down a long corridor and finally stood in front of a door.

"I think this is the place where we want to see death on this trip, do you dare to continue to go into the depths with me?
