Chapter 39 Secret passage

In the unfinished building, Qi Yi had just told them exactly what happened, including his discovery, conjecture, and everything that happened after he was attacked by the strong man.

There are not many things, but the amount of information is too much, and they need time to digest it.

As he spoke, Qi Yi knelt down to check the strong man's wounds.

A piece of flesh and blood as big as a little finger was wiped off the calf of his right leg. His left hand was shot in the middle of his forearm. It was quite serious. Judging from the location, it should have penetrated between the ulna and radius. I don’t know if there was any.

Broken bones.

But no matter what, this hand will definitely be disabled within a period of time. The cavity effect caused by the bullet will cause great damage to his forearm muscles. In all likelihood, he will lose function and become permanently disabled. If he is unlucky, he may even need to

Amputation.

Qi Yi tore off his clothes and gave him a simple bandage to stop the bleeding. Thinking of the woman who committed suicide, he still felt uneasy, so he opened his mouth and examined it carefully.

Ignoring his unpleasant bad breath, Qi Yi carefully looked at each of his teeth and made sure there were no legendary poison sacs, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Think about it, if there is such a thing as a poisonous sac, a woman does not need to pierce her heart. Although objectively, taking poison may be more painful than piercing the heart, and the pain will last longer, but it definitely requires greater determination to pierce the heart.

After letting go of the gangster's mouth, Qi Yi reached out and wiped it on his clothes in disgust. He also found two deformed warheads at the scene and put them away. Qi Yi then asked: "When will the support arrive?"

Ji Chengpeng: "We'll be there soon. Wang's detachment will bring people here in person. They're already in the woods now. Well, Lao Mao, do you want to take a rest first?"

"No need." Mao Ning'an walked into the darkroom, hunched over, looking inside inch by inch like a hound.

People can't appear out of thin air. If Qi Yi hadn't acted quickly just now, the two of them would be lying on the ground now. As a trace inspector, he has not been able to help, and he is worried.

It is impossible for gangsters to appear out of thin air in the darkroom, which means that this small villa still hides secrets that they have not discovered.

Soon Mao Ning'an shouted excitedly: "Found it, there are footprints here."

Qi Yi stood up with Lao Chi's shoulder: "Go over and take a look."

The shoe prints were very faint, but they could not be hidden from Mao Ning'an's eyes. He followed the footprints and stopped at the southwest corner.

Qi Yi narrowed his eyes slightly. This area was where he had just discovered the problem. The blood lines here were lighter than elsewhere.

He squatted down and groped carefully, and his fingertips touched a gap on the ground that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

Ji Chengpeng directly took out his dagger and raised it twice on the edge of the gap. The floor tiles loosened and the gap expanded a lot. Lao Chi stepped forward and lifted a corner to reveal the entrance below.

"Secret passage?"

Qi Yi stared at the cement block for a long time and inspected it. Then he looked at Lao Chi as if he were looking at a monster, motioned for him to let go and not to lift it up forcefully. He inserted his palm into the gap opened by the pry and pushed hard towards the wall.

Click, click, click!

With a tooth-gripping sound, the thick cement block was pushed into the hollow "slot" under the wall, revealing a shallow well about three meters deep and half a meter wide.

Several people looked at each other in confusion. Mao Ning'an's face was flushed and he was panting.

His current condition is very bad. After all, he is not young. In the sweltering unfinished building, he endured the heat wave coming from the darkroom and squatted down to check for traces for less than half an hour. It was already quite uncomfortable, and he had to hold on.

I walked around in the darkroom and felt that I was on the verge of reaching my limit.

Ji Chengpeng greeted him: "Old Mao, when the Wang detachment arrives later, you can go back and rest first, and leave this place to us."

Mao Ning'an waved his hand: "I'm going to the living room to cool down for a while. It's too hot here."

"Don't go too far."

As soon as Mao Ning'an left, Ji Chengpeng looked at Qi Yi again: "What are your plans later? Send the gangster to the hospital or stay here?"

"Stay," Qi Yi said without hesitation, "There is a secret passage in the dark room. I want to see where it leads."

The gangsters who attacked Qi Yi entered the secret room through a secret passage. It has to be said that the entrance to the secret passage is quite hidden and integrated with the surrounding ground. They did not find any gaps in the ground after several inspections. Their technique is superb.

The most critical thing is that there was clearly a huge noise when Lao Chi pushed away the cement block, but Qi Yi didn't hear any movement before the gangster appeared.

This reminded Qi Yi of the corpse cabinet that had slipped out for no apparent reason before, and he felt that the two should have the same principle.

Lao Chi glanced into the darkroom, hesitated for a while, and said, "It's not a robbery, right?"

Qi Yi:???

"Have you seen too much? Cave theft?"

"It's really possible," Lao Chi said, "You think about building a house in such a remote place, and there is an airtight darkroom in the house. It has been abandoned for so many years, and the rest of the house is full of

Weeds, vines, moss, etc., but there is no grass growing here, there must be something wrong with it, not to mention there is a secret passage inside."

This may sound reasonable at first glance.

Qi Yi pointed to the ghost-drawing talisman on the ground: "Then how do you explain this thing? Don't tell me there are rice dumplings down there. I need this thing to suppress them."

Lao Chi blinked: "Maybe it's just for psychological comfort?"

"If they are really tomb robbers, they should hide this place well. Even if they want to build a house, they will not build a villa with the style of a villa to attract attention. If the secret is discovered and they want to kill people, they will just drag the body into the tomb.

It was staged as a disappearance case instead of a murder case, and it is even less likely that they used blood to draw symbols in the darkroom in question. Even the hot search may have been done by them.

I see that they not only have no intention of hiding this place, but they are afraid that our police will not notice it. You told me that there is a robbery cave here and they are tomb robbers? You might as well say that they are a shoe cult organization and hold some evil rituals here.

It’s reliable.”

Ji Chengpeng deeply agreed: "Stop your messy ideas. Case handling relies on logic, not imagination."

"Oh." Lao Chi stopped beeping.

While talking, there was a burst of noise outside, and Ji Chengpeng immediately stood up: "It should be Wang's detachment and others."

A group of criminal police officers headed by Wang's detachment filed in. They also brought mung bean soup with a lot of ice cubes and wireless fans to help Qi Yi and the others cool down.

Detachment Wang glanced at the gangster and the female corpse lying on the ground. Without saying anything, he waved to the police to give Qi Yi and the other four a bowl of mung bean soup, and then arranged for personnel to deal with the gangster.

Lao Chi took the bowl and took two sips happily: "Where did this soup come from?"

"When I went out to the police, I happened to see a store selling them, so I collected them in buckets." Detachment Wang said, "There are also iced Kuolao and iced black tea, so you can take it yourself."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Mao Ning'an: "Are you okay, Old Mao? Do I want to take you to the hospital?"

"It's okay, I feel much better now." Mao Ning'an held a small electric fan and blew it on his face. He drank two more bottles of Zhengqi water before he felt much better.

But detachment Wang was worried that his health would not survive, so he sent him to the hospital. After sending Mao Ning'an and the gangsters away, detachment Wang walked to Qi Yi.

Qi Yi took the initiative and said: "I used Lao Chi's gun again and fired nine shots. One shot hit the leg, one shot the hand, one shot in the air, five shots missed, and one shot hit the female gangster in the back."

"Is the body camera on?"

"It's open the whole time."

"That's good. I'll hand in a gun report and a description of the situation later." Detachment Wang nodded: "What happened here? Tell me in detail."

Qi Yi reported everything to him about their arrival here, from Ji Chengpeng's capture of the monkey to the woman's suicide.

Detachment Wang's face gradually became serious, and he turned to look at the darkroom: "Is it true that candid photography is authentic..."

"There is another question," Qi Yi added: "With the help of Director Mao's mobile phone, I am very sure that the tools used to secretly photograph the other party are a selfie stick and a mobile phone. There must also be a very professional camera, but we did not find the tools.

The gangster had nothing on him but his weapon."

Team Wang responded quickly: "Is there a mezzanine upstairs?"
