Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 222: Sign, Cry for Help

Gurgling.

Zhao Ziang raised the bottle and took several gulps.

As the old saying goes, alcohol makes cowards brave.

He was using the alcohol to give himself courage.

Bang!

Zhao Ziang slammed the table and stood up panting.

It was only then that I realized that his clothes were soaked and he looked like he had just been pulled out of the water.

It can be seen how scared he was when he was telling the story.

He continued, "That woman's eyes were fixed on me!"

"I was so scared that I tried to avoid her gaze and crawled to the side."

"But when I move to the left, her eyes turn left, and when I move to the right, her eyes turn right."

"At that moment, I felt like I was being watched by a wronged spirit!"

"I was so scared that I immediately knelt down in front of her, kowtowed and begged for mercy, and promised to burn lots of paper money for her."

Not only Zhao Ziang was frightened, but everyone else was also scared.

Many people retreated quietly with cramps in their calves.

The criminal policeman who lifted the woman's head with a pole had his hands shaking like sieves.

With cold sweat pouring down his face, he asked, "Captain Xie, this, this head, do you want to throw it back?"

Captain Xie and the two veteran detectives also had doubts in their hearts.

They have seen many murder scenes.

No matter how weird or cruel the murder scene is, it is not as weird as the current situation.

"Don't be afraid!"

"We are criminal police!"

"Don't make a fuss!"

"Zhao Ziang, look at how cowardly you are, kneeling down and begging for mercy. You're really embarrassing me!"

"If you're so timid, don't be a detective. Go to the archives department and look at the files!"

Captain Hu's angry rebuke temporarily calmed people's hearts.

Zhao Ziang stood up trembling, with his head hung, not daring to look towards the dark river.

He moved to the side of the cave wall.

Pretending to be calm, he raised the flashlight and shone it on the wall of the cave.

Captain Hu said a few more words of encouragement, and then asked the detective holding the pole to put the head on the ground.

The pole with the human head hanging on it slowly retracted.

The head was placed at Captain Hu's feet.

Captain Hu and two veteran detectives squatted down to take a closer look.

"The neck was broken very smoothly, as if it had been chopped off by a sharp weapon."

"The skin and flesh are very well preserved, without any decay... Could it be that he died not long ago?"

"Have there been any reports of missing women recently?" Captain Hu asked.

Everyone shook their heads.

"When you get back, ask the various villages if there are any missing persons cases... That's not right!"

Captain Hu suddenly looked up and looked into the dark river.

In the dark river, clumps of fine black hair swayed with the current.

Those are human heads!

After a rough count, there are at least dozens of heads within sight!

There is more to see than what you can see!

How could there be so many dead bodies, and only heads in the underground river?

"Quick, salvage another head and see!"

Wow.

Another head was fished out.

It was the head of a middle-aged man. The fracture at the neck was very smooth and there was no sign of decay on the facial skin.

Captain Hu rubbed his temples with both hands, feeling that his brain was not enough.

"Didn't he die recently?"

"But why are there no signs of decay?"

"Captain, we are here to search and rescue. Should we consider the issue of these heads last?" the old detective reminded.

Captain Hu pondered for a moment and led the team to continue searching forward.

The two heads were left by the dark river.

The team continued to move forward, but Zhao Ziang looked back for some unknown reason.

He saw the two heads move.

As if being pushed by an invisible giant hand, it rolled into the dark river.

This scene made him want to escape from the cave immediately.

But before he could escape, he heard shouts from his colleagues in front of him.

"There are marks on the cave wall!"

"Someone marked the wall!"

Curiosity overcame fear, and Zhao Ziang moved forward and followed.

Someone had drawn a bright red arrow on the cave wall.

Arrows point deeper into the cave.

"It looks like it was painted with red paint."

"Liu Aiguo, did those professors bring paint when they entered the cave?" Captain Hu asked.

Liu Aiguo was brought over trembling with fear on his face.

When the head was fished out, he was so scared that his legs went limp.

I could only walk here with the help of others.

"I, I don't know."

"Teacher Xu from the Wuqi Normal College only asked me to prepare lunch for them and didn't let me prepare anything else."

Captain Hu frowned: "Did they take anything with them when they entered the cave?"

"Yes, everyone carries a shoulder bag."

"Teacher Xu also carried a backpack that was bulging with stuff. I asked curiously what goodies were in it, but he just glared at me."

Captain Hu then asked, "Since everyone is carrying a bag, where is Professor Zhang's bag?"

"When I saw him in the cave, he didn't have a backpack!"

"He was carrying a shoulder bag when he entered the cave. I saw him take out a notebook and a pen from the bag, but when he came out, the bag was gone!"

Liu Aiguo was afraid that Captain Hu would not believe him, so he swore and cursed.

Captain Hu fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he muttered, "This Teacher Xu seems to be a suspect as well."

"Continue searching forward."

The team continued to move forward for more than a hundred meters, but the road disappeared.

Here the underground river widens and floods the way forward.

If you want to move forward, you need a boat or a kayak.

And on the wall of the cave here, there is also a forward arrow painted in red paint.

This means that the professors went down the underground river.

"Did they bring kayaks?" Captain Hu asked in confusion.

Liu Aiguo shook his head vigorously: "It's impossible to bring a kayak."

"No matter how big Mr. Xu's backpack is, it can't fit a raft that can hold so many people."

Captain Hu sighed.

He raised his flashlight and shone it deeper.

The flashlight light becomes weak after shining for more than ten meters.

But he still shone from the surface of the dark river to the wall of the cave, and then to the top of the cave.

When the light hits the top of the cave, you can vaguely see something hanging on the top of the cave, swaying from side to side at the weakest point of light.

Like a hand shaking.

Shake it like you're waving to attract customers.

Oh oh oh!

A whimpering sound came with the wind.

It sounded like the sobbing of a woman crying.

If you listen carefully, it sounds like the cry of a child who has been wronged.

But this is deep in the cave, how could there be a woman and a child?!

At that moment, everyone was in turmoil.

"Captain Hu, do you hear any crying? It sounds like a woman crying."

"That crying sound gave me such a fright!"

"Could it be a ghost?!"

Liu Aiguo even grabbed Captain Hu's arm tightly with both hands and said in a tearful voice, "Captain Hu, there are many strange legends in this cave."

"I've heard from the old folks before that there's a seductive female ghost deep in the cave. She makes crying sounds to lure strong men in. Anyone who enters will die!"

"Those heads just now...maybe they were made by a female ghost!"

"Let's go back first, okay? Or you can send someone to take me back first. I don't want to stay here anymore!"

At the end of his speech, Liu Aiguo couldn't stop crying.

But at this moment.

There was a faint sound of rushing water from deep within the dark river.

It's not the sound of flowing water, but the sound of swimming in the water.

Immediately afterwards, a blood-red figure appeared swimming in the water!
