The successful salvage of the ghost boat made the people of Linshui County excited.

In their opinion, the reason why the water ghost appeared was because the ghost boat sank to the bottom of the river, causing the water ghost to be unable to enter the reincarnation, and now that the ghost boat has been salvaged, the water ghost will naturally be reincarnated and no longer do evil, and the danger of the water ghost will be solved.

The Zhanghe River will return to the lively scene of boats coming and going, and Linshui County will also return to its former prosperity.

Although these ideas are very simple, even naïve and ignorant, because Zhang Moba was arrested and the murderer was arrested, the murder of water ghosts will not happen again, but coincidentally coincide with the thoughts of the people.

Therefore, Lin Feng and Du Wei did not tell the truth.

After all, the Sixiang organization is still a secret among the people, and the existence of such an organization, once it is leaked, it will inevitably cause panic and public opinion turmoil.

Lin Feng stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the excited appearance of the people, he smiled lightly, and thanked the people for coming to support.

The people didn't expect that the dignified Dali Temple was right, and the legendary Lin Feng would thank them, and they all hurriedly saluted in response.

Du Wei looked at this scene and sighed in his heart, he knew that the miracle of Lin Feng's salvage of the sunken ship today would be quickly spread to other states and counties with the stories of these people, and then spread to the entire Tang Dynasty.

Lin Feng's reputation and prestige will definitely be several times stronger because of this.

In the future, I'm afraid that Lin Feng will really be known to everyone.

After Lin Feng expressed his gratitude to the people, the people also turned around and left, the sunken ship has been salvaged, the most wonderful melon has been eaten, the next thing they have to do is to hurry back to share, run faster, and have the opportunity to harvest the admiration and attention of those who have not left the city.

In this way, the crowd of people on the shore left satisfied.

Inside the Chen Family Pavilion.

Chen Yitian listened to the people's uncontrollable praise for Lin Feng, felt the people's admiration for Lin Feng, turned the palm of the copper ball and shook it directly, he looked at Xiao Man'er with a smile, and said, "Man'er, do you want to congratulate Lin Sizheng?" ”

Xiao Man'er's beautiful and quiet eyes looked at Lin Feng on the bow of the ship, shook her head slightly, and she said slowly: "After salvaging the wreck, he still has to investigate, and there are still many things to do, so we don't have to bother him." ”

Chen Yitian smiled heartily: "Man'er is so understanding, it is really a blessing for Lin Temple in the future." ”

After speaking, he got up directly, glanced at the descendants who still had a shocked and shocked look on their faces, and said lightly: "Look at Lin Sizheng, look at you again, think about it after you go back, and write a profound article for the old man to explain why he is the same age as Lin Sizheng, but the gap is so big!" ”

After that, he strode away directly, leaving only the descendants of the Chen family looking at each other, not knowing why the old lady suddenly taught them a lesson, and even left a composition task.

They saw Chen Yitian leaving, and then they couldn't help but wail in a low voice.

"Is Grandpa stimulated by anything?"

"I'm a martial artist, should I write it too?"

"You can leave it unwritten and see if grandpa will pick your skin."

"Oh my God......"

Xiao Man'er listened to these wails, her lips couldn't help but rise slightly, she took one last look at Lin Feng, and then got up and left, with a light joy that she didn't have when she came.

…………

The people left, but the real work of the shipwrights and servants had just begun.

Because there was a lot of water accumulated in the body of the wreck, Lin Feng would have to swim directly if he entered like this, so before investigating, the stagnant water must be cleaned up.

So the task fell to the shipwrights and the servants.

According to Lin Feng's instructions, they were divided into multiple groups and relayed in turn, just like when they were fighting fires before, and cooperated with each other in the form of assembly lines.

Buckets of water are poured out, and the poured water flows back into the Zhanghe River according to the height of the terrain, like a reincarnation.

In this way, hundreds of people took a full hour to treat the water inside the ship.

"Lai Guogong, Lin Sizheng, the stagnant water in the wreck has been cleaned up and you can enter."

A guard came to report it.

Listening to the guard's words, Lin Feng and Du Wei glanced at each other, nodded slightly to each other, and directly boarded the sunken ship.

When you come to the shipwreck, the first thing that catches your eye is the black hull that seems to have been cut horizontally by a knife, and there is nothing on the deck.

Looking at this mysterious shipwreck, which was called a ghost ship by the people, and the surface was full of black paint roasted by fire, Lin Feng said: "Lai Guogong, let the boatmen work hard again, and rest after checking the reason for the sinking of the hull." ”

Du Gou would not object, he directly ordered to the guards who followed him: "Do what Lin Sizheng said." ”

The guard nodded yes and walked away quickly.

While waiting for the boatman to give the inspection results, Du Wei also looked at the ship in front of him, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that this ship burned really badly before it sank, the mast, the sails, the cabin, and anything on the top were all burned to the bottom, and there was nothing left, that is, the ship sank in the water at the end, otherwise it might burn even more seriously." ”

Lin Feng nodded: "Compared to this ship, the fire used by the Four Elephants Organization to deceive us before was like a child's house. ”

Du Wei looked at Lin Feng with a hint of worry in his expression, and said, "This boat has been burned like this, and it has been soaked in the bottom of the river for so long, the water and fire are ruthless, and time is even more ruthless, can there still be clues?" ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he smiled: "If the clues can be easily erased, why should the Four Elephants Organization go to great lengths to sink the ship?" ”

"If they think that the clue will be destroyed due to sinking, why did Zhang Mo write me a threatening letter and coerce me with the lives of ten people and hundreds of people to prevent me from salvaging?"

"Of course, there is a plan to ruin me, but yesterday he wrote a letter to remind me, and increased the number tenfold, which is enough to prove how jealous he is about my salvage of the sunken ship."

"So ......"

Lin Feng said as he spoke, his gaze swept over Zhang Mo who was tied up on the shore, looking at Zhang Mo staring at him in horror and nervousness, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Their actions have proved to us that there are definitely secrets here that they don't think will disappear and don't want to be discovered by us!" ”

Du Wei listened to Lin Feng's words, and his heart, which was originally a little worried, suddenly calmed down, he was worried that Lin Feng had finally salvaged the wreck, but it turned out to be a waste...... But now, he's confident.

This made him sigh in his heart, Lin Feng is really a calm and rational person to the extreme, he never has internal friction on his own, in Lin Feng, he seems to see the shadow of his father.

In his memory, when his father gave advice to His Majesty, he was so wise and calm.

He pursed his lips and nodded heavily: "In this way, we will definitely have a harvest." ”

Lin Feng smiled lightly: "I won't do meaningless things. ”

As he spoke, Lin Feng walked towards the stairs.

The top layer of the cargo ship has been completely burned by the flames, and even the burned ash has been washed away by the river, so there is no need to investigate it at all.

This cargo ship is not a large cargo ship of that kind, it only has two upper and lower levels.

Below the hull, the cargo compartment occupies the main space, as well as two bunks and a separate room.

The bunk is the dormitory of the ordinary boatman, and the separate room is the captain's quarters.

In addition to this, the place to eat, the place to rest on a daily basis, is all on the upper floor.

Lin Feng walked down the stairs while looking at the hull structure diagram that Du Gou had given him.

This is the drawing of the cargo ship that Du Gou specially sent to the shipyard in Yangzijiang County to ask for after determining the identity of the cargo ship.

With the drawings, even if Lin Feng came here for the first time, he could easily tell which door corresponded to which place.

At this time, a boatman came from the front, and the boatman said: "Lin Sizheng, we have investigated clearly, in the innermost room where the boatman rests, there is a big hole in the floor, which runs directly through the bottom of the boat, and this boat should be because of this hole, which is constantly filled with river water, and eventually leads to sinking." ”

"The boatman's room?"

Lin Feng glanced at the drawings and said, "Can you tell how the hole was caused?" Was it caused outside the ship, or was it caused by the ship? ”

"Judging by the situation around the hole, and the signs of broken wood, it must have been artificially carved out of the room with an axe or something," said the boatman. ”

"Artificial? Or was it chiseled out of the interior of the room? Du Wei listened to the boatman's words, and his heart couldn't help but move.

He hurriedly looked at Lin Feng, and saw that Lin Feng's eyes also flashed with thought, and after a while, Lin Feng continued: "According to your experience, from the time this hole appears, how long will it take for the entire ship to sink?" ”

"This hole is not small, and it will sink faster as the current enters...... According to the villain's estimate, it will not take more than half an hour at most. ”

"No more than half an hour...... Lin Feng touched his chin, thought for a while, and asked again: "According to the sailing speed of this ship, how far do you think this cargo ship can sail in half an hour when the river water can pour out of the hole?" ”

This time, the boatman pondered for a while before he said, "At most, it will be about ten miles." ”

"About ten miles?"

Lin Feng bowed slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Then what if no one rows, relying only on water and wind?" ”

"That's shorter, five miles at most, this is still a strong enough wind, the most ideal state, if it's worse, one or two miles is possible."

Lin Feng thought about it, then nodded and smiled: "This official understands, thank you." ”

The boatman looked flattered and hurriedly said, "It's all what villains should do." ”

Lin Feng smiled: "You go to rest first, today your merits are in the eyes of the official, and when the case is over, the official will definitely not get drunk with you, let's celebrate." ”

"Yes, yes."

The boatman nodded and stepped back.

After the shipwright left, Du Gou couldn't wait to say: "The hole that caused the cargo ship to sink was caused by internal destruction, isn't this proof ......?"

Lin Feng understood what Du Wei meant, he nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Interesting, this proves that either the captain or crew of this ship is crazy, and they don't even want to eat the guys, or it proves that ......"

He narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This ship, at that time, there were other people hidden!" ”

Du Gou's pupils shrank slightly, but he thought about it, and frowned again: "We asked the merchants who entrusted them to transport the goods, and the list of personnel provided by the merchants was those shipwrights, and there was no one else. ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he said calmly: "This is nothing surprising...... Miss Man'er and I didn't have our names on the list of people on the cargo ship we were on when we came here. ”

"If you let the merchants know that other people are smuggled on the ship carrying their goods, and a ship makes two shares, the merchants will definitely not want to, so these ship bosses will secretly do this, so as to earn this money unknowingly."

"Therefore, the list or something, you can refer to it, but you can't trust it all."

Du Wei hadn't thought about this at all, and when he heard Lin Feng's words at this moment, he knew that there was such a secret.

He sighed: "If it weren't for Zide, you came on a cargo ship and experienced all these secret things yourself, I wouldn't have thought that this list would be fake." ”

Lin Feng laughed: "This is also the reason why I have to take a boat, only by personally walking the same road with those cargo ships that had an accident, can I discover the secrets hidden in the dark that the official can't find on the surface." ”

Du Gou nodded heavily, and he said seriously: "I have been taught, if I encounter similar cases in the future, I will go through it myself like you." ”

Du Gou did not hide his shortcomings, just like a sponge always absorbing knowledge and experience, Lin Feng felt that one day in the future, such a Du Gou would definitely be able to have an important position in the court, even if it could not reach the level of Du Ruhui, but it would not be too bad.

It's a pity that Du Gou in history has a younger brother of Brother Pit, who was implicated in rebellion, and if he has the opportunity in this life, he has to help Du Gou say anything.

Du Wei said in a deep voice: "In this way, there is a high probability that this ship will hide other people? ”

Lin Feng shook his head: "It's just that there is such a possibility, how to be specific, we have to find evidence, and we can't easily draw conclusions, so as not to cause subjective assumptions." ”

Du Wei nodded, now that he had a guess, he couldn't wait to know the result, he said, "Then let's check it quickly...... Hope to find relevant clues. ”

Lin Feng smiled and nodded slightly.

The two of them walked down the dark, damp hallway, with the wet ground beneath their feet and lanterns hung by the boatmen on the walls.

In the warm light of the lantern, they came to a door.

At this time, the door was ajar, and there was a lock on the left doorknob.

Lin Feng glanced at the lock, and then tried it against the lock with his fist.

He couldn't help smacking his tongue and said: "I've seen big fists in a clay pot, and it's the first time I've seen two big locks in a clay pot." ”

Du Wei looked at the lock that was comparable in size to his face, and he was also surprised: "Even if it is the lock that holds the condemned prisoner in the Assassin Prison, even if it is the lock that locks the granary, it is not so ......big."

While listening to Du Wei's words, Lin Feng took off the lock and felt the weight of the lock with a large face, he couldn't help but look at the door in front of him with a surprised gaze, and said: "This door is not biased with such a heavy lock, it can still be easily pulled, it seems that this door is not ordinary." ”

While speaking, Lin Feng raised his hand and knocked on the door.

I heard a dull thud resounding inside the ship's hull.

Du said: "Iron? ”

Lin Feng nodded, he hung the lock back in its place, and said with a smile: "Interesting, behind this door is a cargo hold, I am very curious about what good things are contained in this cargo hold, and it also needs to be specially protected by an iron door, and there is even such a big lock lock." ”

Du Wei was also puzzled, and he said: "In the other cargo ships that had accidents, there were no such big locks, and there were no such special iron doors. ”

"And this cargo ship is not particularly large, the cargo carried is limited, and generally valuable cargo will give preference to larger, safer, and more loaded cargo ships, so it stands to reason that this small cargo ship really should not have such a configuration."

When Lin Feng heard this, his eyes flashed slightly: "As the saying goes, there must be demons when things go wrong, and there are places that are different from other ships...... Perhaps, that's why it had to sink. ”

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Du Wei raised his head suddenly, and looked at the iron gate in front of him with sharp eyes.

Lin Feng didn't delay, he grabbed the iron door and pulled it hard.

Listening to the sound of crunching, this heavy iron door was slowly opened by Lin Feng.

As the iron gate opened, the two of them quickly saw the scene behind the iron gate with the help of the light of the lantern.

I saw that this was a square cargo hold, about a zhang long and wide, and some boxes were stacked inside, but because of the shipwreck and salvage, these boxes were not neatly stacked, but some were dumped, some were tilted, and some cloth and porcelain were scattered everywhere.

Du Gou looked at this scene and said: "This should be the goods they transported on this trip, I have the documents provided by the merchants, and the main goods they transported on this trip are cloth, silk and precious porcelain." ”

Lin Feng nodded and walked in with the lantern.

He opened some boxes one after another, and in the boxes, as Du Wei said, there were either cloth or porcelain, and nothing else.

Du Wei frowned and said, "Although these goods are valuable, they are not protected by such a big lock and iron door, right?" Some of the other cargo ships were loaded with jewels and jadeite, which were more expensive, and I had never seen them treat them so specially. ”

Lin Feng's eyes swept over the cargo hold and said, "It shouldn't be the lock and door prepared for this batch of goods." ”

"Not this batch?" Du Wei was stunned.

He frowned and said, "It's not this batch, then can we still find clues?" There's only these things in here, and nothing else? ”

When Lin Feng heard this, he smiled and said, "Does Lai Guogong remember what I just said?" ”

"What?"

Lin Feng said: "I just said...... There must be a demon when something goes wrong, and this ship is different from other ships, which may be the reason for the sinking of the Four Elephants Organization. ”

"And you see......"

As he spoke, Lin Feng raised his hand and pointed to the walls around the cargo hold, and said, "The walls of this cargo hold, and even the ground......"

Lin Feng raised his foot and stomped on the ground, and he could hear the dull sound of a thump.

He continued: "It's all different from the outside...... The corridor we just walked through was made of wood on the ground and walls, but what about here? Not only are the doors iron, but even the floors and walls are iron! ”

Lin Feng said with a smile: "You say, what kind of goods do they want to load, they need to make the walls and the ground into iron plates?" Isn't it ironclad, can these goods still drill holes and run? ”

"This ......"

Listening to Lin Feng's words, Du Wei's eyes couldn't help but stare at him.

The range that the light of the lantern can reach is limited, the farther away it becomes, the more hazy it becomes, Lin Feng didn't say it, he really didn't find that the walls were all iron.

He frowned and said, "It's understandable that the door is iron, but it's really strange that the walls and even the floor are iron." ”

Lin Feng came to the wall on the left, raised his finger and gently wiped it on it, and the cold and wet touch popped into his mind along with his fingertips.

He suddenly said, "Lai Guogong...... You say, it should be very difficult to dismantle such a room, right? ”

Du Gou nodded and said: "Of course it's not easy, how difficult it is when it is installed, and how difficult it is when it is dismantled." ”

"Then ...... you say" Lin Feng's eyes were deep, and he said with deep meaning: "If you burn it with fire, I'm afraid this room won't burn down, right?" ”

"Of course, it's all iron, how can it be ......"

Before he finished speaking, Du Wei's voice stopped abruptly.

He seemed to think of something, and suddenly raised his head to look at Lin Feng.

I saw Lin Feng hook the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "When I saw that the entire upper deck of this ship was burned down, I was thinking about one thing. ”

"If you can burn the top, why not sprinkle more fire oil and burn the bottom as well?"

"Although it is said that it cannot be completely burned to ashes on the water, except for the bottom part of the boat that is soaked in water, the rest of the ship is not affected at all, and a fire can completely burn it out."

"So, why not just burn it down, but sink it to the bottom of the river? Anyway, the purpose is to destroy the ship, and if we don't want to investigate, why bother doing more? ”

"And now ......"

Lin Feng turned around, looked at this special cabin made of iron plates, and said slowly, "I finally understand. ”

"Because this cargo hold can't be burned down! And their target, most likely, is this cargo hold, so they don't have a choice! ”

Speaking of this, Lin Feng looked at Du Gou and said in a deep voice: "In this way, the one who destroys this ship and digs a hole in the crew's room is most likely an outsider!" ”

Du Wei's eyes moved: "Why?" ”

Lin Feng said: "If the boatmen did it, then they actually have the opportunity to directly dismantle these iron plates, although it is very troublesome, but if you remove the iron plates and sink them to the bottom of the river, basically no one will find out, and then burn them cleanly, which is safer, so that you can ensure that no one will find any secrets...... Not even I could find any clues in the ashes. ”

"With the nature of the Four Elephants organization, if they can have a safer and safer choice, they will definitely not settle for the next best."

"So, they choose to sink, and a big reason is that they can't get the boatmen to do these things, so they can only choose to sink this way."

Du Wei's eyes flashed, his brain quickly thought about it, and after a while, he nodded and said, "Indeed, from Zhang Mo's actions, it can be seen that he is actually still a little worried that the sunken ship will be salvaged, if there is a more secure method, they will definitely choose that one." ”

"So to speak."

Du Wei also looked at the cargo hold in front of him, his eyes were condensed, and he said, "This cargo hold may really hide the secret of the Four Elephants Organization. ”

"But there's no problem with the cargo here, where is the secret?"

Hearing this, Lin Feng bent his fingers slightly, gently knocked on the iron wall, listened to the dull knocking sound, and said slowly: "The Four Elephants Organization has no chance to dismantle this cargo hold, but we have a chance...... So, call people, dismantle the iron plate! ”

As soon as Lin Feng's voice fell, Du Wei immediately did not hesitate, and quickly called the boatmen and servants who were squatting outside to rest.

When the servants and shipwrights knew that they were going to dismantle the iron plates, everyone's faces could not help but be bitter.

First salvaged the wreck, and then continued to be busy for an hour without stopping, getting the stagnant water out of the wreck, but just after resting for a while, they didn't even finish blowing the, so they were called to do hard work again, and looking at these heavy iron plates, their legs were weak, this is not an hour, can't finish it at all?

The heart was full of reluctance, but in front of the dignified five-grade officials, in front of the dignified grandfather of the country, they didn't dare to say anything at all.

I can only roll up my sleeves and work with a grumble.

With Lin Feng and Du Wei's abilities, they could naturally see everyone's dissatisfaction at a glance.

Lin Feng gave Du Gou a look, and Du Gou immediately said: "Whoever works hard today, in addition to the corresponding salary, each person can receive an additional fifty wen." ”

For the average boatman, fifty wen was enough for them to eat for many days.

For the officials, this is also a bonus outside of their own work.

It's all a bonus.

All of a sudden, the complaints in the hearts of the shipwrights and officials were reduced a lot, and the work became more and more efficient from slowness.

Fu Yuanhuai, the county magistrate on the side, saw this scene, and couldn't help but weakly say to Du Gou: "Lai Guogong, the county government has no money......

Du Wei glanced at Fu Yuanhuai, who was crying poorly, and said lightly: "The assassin mansion is out, and the official never thought of letting you out, what are you afraid of?" ”

When Fu Yuanhuai heard this, his old face turned red, and he hurriedly said: "Xia Guan didn't mean this, in fact, Xia Guan also wanted to pay out of his own pocket." ”

"Then give you a chance to perform, you will pay for it?" Lin Feng said with a smile.

"......" Fu Yuanhuai was shocked, and hurriedly shook his head and said: "Lai Guogong has already made a decision, how dare the lower officials disobey Lai Guogong, Lin Sizheng don't make jokes about the lower officials." ”

Bang!

And at this very moment.

Suddenly, a loud bang shook the floor a few times.

Everyone subconsciously followed the sound.

Then I saw that an iron plate had been pried off by the boatman.

If it weren't for the fact that the floor was also paved with iron plates, it was estimated that the floor would have collapsed directly.

Lin Feng was just about to sigh that the power of money was really terrifying, when suddenly, he heard a sharp exclamation: "What is that!?" ”

"On the wall behind the iron plate, there are ...... There is blood! ”

"What!?"

Hearing this voice, Fu Yuanhuai and the others were stunned, completely shocked by these words.

How can there be blood in the cargo hold?

Du Gou's eyes were even more stared, thinking back to what Lin Feng had just said, this cargo hold contained secrets that the Four Elephants Organization didn't want them to discover, and he couldn't help but pull up in his heart, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Fu Yuanhuai and the others also leaned forward one after another.

At this time, they saw that the wooden walls that had been torn down from the iron plates were stained with shocking blood.

The bloodstain was so large that it was completely immersed in the plank, and just looking at the tip of the iceberg exposed, everyone could imagine that something terrible must have happened here.

"There are still words here!"

There were boatmen whose voices were trembling.

Everyone listened to his words and hurriedly followed the direction of his finger and looked at the lower right corner.

And there was a blood-colored word.

"Save"

The word was incomplete, and was blocked by another iron plate.

But just looking at the word "save" written in blood, everyone's hearts couldn't help but tremble.

"How can there be blood."

"What's going on with this blood word?"

"What the hell is going on this ship!?"

Listening to these voices, Fu Yuanhuai couldn't help but look at Lin Feng and Du Wei.

At this time, he found that Du Wei was looking at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng's eyes were full of coldness and heaviness.

"What are you doing? Keep dismantling! Lin Feng said in a deep voice.

Everyone was stunned, and then quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, dismantle!" ”

They moved even faster.

Everyone didn't dare to be lazy anymore, and they didn't even complain in their hearts, they just wanted to know what was behind these iron plates, they just wanted to know what else was behind the blood letter.

In this way, the iron plates were dismantled.

Shocking bloodstains reappeared.

One by one, I don't know how long it has been written, and the black and red blood characters that have already been dull come into view.

When the last iron plate was removed from the wall, they looked at the walls around them, and their lips were pursed, and they could not say anything.

I saw that the surrounding walls were stained with more or less blood.

At the same time, there are more bloody handprints.

Lines of bloody letters.

"Help me, I don't want to die!"

"Help."

"We have been hungry for three days, no one cares about us, and if we continue like this, we will definitely die, so I decided to escape, if I succeed, I will go to the police to save the others, if it fails, this is my last stroke."

"Mother! Wait for me, I will also run away with Brother Xiao, we will break through the wall and take the opportunity to escape, if we fail, don't wait for the child, the child can no longer fulfill his filial piety. ”

There are many more such contents.

This is...... Note.

"They...... Did they succeed? ”

A boatman couldn't help but ask.

When everyone heard this, their eyes hurriedly looked at Lin Feng.

In their opinion, it was Lin Feng who asked them to remove the iron plate, so Lin Feng must have known the result.

Then, they saw Lin Feng let out a long breath, he looked at the only place where the cargo hold wall had been repaired, his voice was low, and he sighed: "If it succeeds, then these blood will not exist, and these iron plates will not exist." ”

Everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, and their faces instantly turned pale and bloodless.

"How could it be ......?"

They couldn't help but cover their mouths.

"Lai Guogong."

At this time, Lin Feng looked at Du Wei and said, "Aren't you curious about Wang Sizheng's 'ghosts' and 'people', I found the 'ghosts', where did the 'people' go?" ”

"Now, I can tell you ......"

Lin Feng's gaze swept to the shocking blood-lettered suicide note and said, "They are here." ”

(End of chapter)
