Chapter 33 fourth quarter

Including the six support staff, as well as the veteran cave explorer - Hatakeyama, a physical education teacher at Fangcheng Middle School, the preparations are complete.The lighting uses a miner's lamp on the head, a flashlight and a portable lamp.The opponent was supposed to be unarmed, but, since he was a guy with a reputation for brutality, the police had a pistol, and a walkie-talkie, just in case. First of all, you have to climb over the crab hole: the one who tasted the pain at the beginning was the thick and fat Yoneda Public Police Department.Even though the situation is moving towards the goal of co-searching with Yoneda, which is completely opposite, but since the matter has reached this point, he absolutely cannot stand idly by.

The Yoneda Public Police Department was only wearing an undershirt. After taking out all the things in the trouser pockets, they were about to go in. However, even though the clothes had been taken off, the thick breasts were still a big hindrance. Miyao pleaded: "Please don't do this, just wait outside." However, the stubborn Yonedako said "What?...animal!", and still insisted on crawling inside.He first took a deep breath, and after exhaling all the air, he crawled out without hesitation.It worked. But it was dangerous enough. If the distance from the crab hole was a little longer, the Yoneda police department might have been suffocated to death.As Yougan crawled forward, the upper and lower parts of his chest were squeezed so hard that his lungs couldn't even move.

After passing through the crab cave, the roof of the cave suddenly rose and widened.The road went up and down, and after a while, a fork appeared.Everyone started to discuss. "The forked roads on the left and right sides are the branch caves, and you can go straight when you enter the main cave." Mr. Hatakeyama explained. "Is the branch hole blocked?" Miyao Chief Criminal Officer asked cautiously. "No, I've gone into the caves on both sides, and I can't reach the end after walking for thirty minutes. However, the branch cave doesn't even have stalactites, so it's not interesting at all."

"At this moment, it doesn't matter if it's interesting or not. The question is which hole did Hamada escape into?" "If I had to choose, I'd go to Zhengdong. Because there's more or less a place of invisibility!" "Okay, then let's go straight forward." Hatakeyama led the way, and the group followed. Before long, stalactites and tall stalagmites, like a forest, stood one after the other.There are dark and narrow openings everywhere.After wading through the neck-deep shallow pool, I came to a place that resembled a hall. Thin stalactites hang down like steel needles one by one from the high cave roof, and some of them are connected with stalagmites on the ground to become stone pillars.The walls of the cave are lined with stalactites that resemble organ pipes.

Detective Ikawa suddenly found an empty Coke can rolled down in the corner of the cave hall, under the rocks. "Asshole, probably Hamada drank it?" Ikawa yelled excitedly. "Maybe!..." Miyao nodded and said, "Mr. Hatakeyama, the road seems to be divided into two. Which road is Zhengdong?" "Oh, if I go any further, I haven't gone in yet, so..." "Okay, then, let's divide into two groups here. Walk in for 30 minutes each. If you still can't find Hamada, please come back here for a while. We will meet here in an hour, and then we can think about it." future action."

Miyao, Ikawa and three local police officers formed a group.Yoneda, Tsuchiya, Mr. Hatakeyama and three members of the local police station formed another group.After being divided into two groups, walk in file from the left and right roads. The team led by Miyao saw a wonderful scene when they walked a little further: the bottom of the cave turned into a river plate with layers of terraced fields. Clear water like a mirror.It can also be said to be a landscape bonsai-style pool. Miyao used the radio to introduce this scene to Yonedako's team, and Hatakeyama's voice came over.It took a lot of effort to hear his voice.

"Hey, hello, the rock formation there is limestone, and that puddle is called a lime pond. The water should be flowing slowly." That being said, it's not exactly stagnant water.The water was flowing inwards, seemingly moving but not persuading. "How about the footprints?" The extremely excited voice of the Yoneda police department came from the walkie-talkie. "The ground is all limestone, so you can't see any footprints." Miyao replied, and then asked casually, "How is the situation over there?" "It's the same here." "Well, we'll get in touch later." After turning off the walkie-talkie, the people continued to move forward.

Crossing the lime pond, the road turns into an uphill road.At the top of the ramp is the highest point of the hole.Ahead looked like a collapsed slope, with a dark hole opening.The curtain-like stalactites, like icicles, hang down from the top of the cave. Miyao looked down at his watch.It's only been eight minutes since we broke up, so we can't go back casually because of the dangerous terrain. "Oops, just bring a rope." Miyao regretted a little. "Climb down from the edge of the cave wall, maybe you can still climb down?" Ikawa stood in front and ordered: "Illuminate it with a lamp from behind."

All the lights shone on Ikawa's feet together.When Ikawa was about to climb down cautiously, a "bang" and a scream of "ah!" rang out in the cave at the same time. Ikawa suddenly put his head in his hands, leaned forward slowly, and fell down like a ball. "Ah!..." Several policemen shouted together.Under the light concentrated in the hollow of the cave wall, Bin Shanbao was seen holding a thick wooden stick in his hand, standing there fiercely. "Your boy is Hamada?!..." Miyao sternly shouted, "Bastard, are you crazy?..." Hamada did not answer.Suddenly he raised his stick and swooped at the police officer.A police officer who was about to draw his gun in a hurry was hit on the cheek by the wooden stick that Hamada yelled.

The distance between the two was simply too close, and Miyao, who guessed that the pistol would not be able to use it, casually threw the walkie-talkie in his hand.He aimed at Hamada, rushed forward and grabbed him.Although he felt a heavy blow from the wooden stick on his left shoulder, at the same time, he also grabbed Hamada's collar. After staring at each other for two or three rounds, I don't know whether it was Hamada or Miyao, someone's foot slipped out of the cliff.Immediately afterwards, the two lost their balance, embraced each other, and quickly fell into the dark bottom of the cave.

After getting in touch with the walkie-talkie, Yoneda and the others started walking forward again.It was Hatakeyama who took the lead and rushed to the front. Since Jian was only 1.50 centimeters high, they had to walk forward with their waists bowed.Even so, my head bumped from time to time on the roof of the cave as my attention went down to my toes.The waist also gradually ached. Hatakeyama, who was leading the way, stopped, and the group behind Ren also stopped. "What's the matter?..." Yone Tiangong asked nervously. "Hush!..." Hatakeyama put his finger on his mouth suddenly, "Didn't you hear...?" Everyone listened attentively, and from the dark front, came a faint voice—no, it was not so much a "sound", but rather something close to a "sound".And if you listen carefully, it sounds like a woman sobbing. very low... intermittently... Suddenly, another sound overlapped with the sobbing.It sounded like a man pressing down roughly.However, this voice stopped quickly, and it seemed to be whispering in the future... A group of people can't help but look at me and I look at you.If it wasn't for being in the darkness, one might be able to see the faces of some of them, which had already turned as white as paper with fright. "Is it a human voice?" Officer Yonetian whispered. Hatakeyama tilted his head and replied in a low voice: "It sounds like it. But in the cave, this kind of sound can often be heard sometimes." "Turn off the light and try it." Yone Tiangong ordered proudly. Following Yonedako's order, everyone turned off all the lights.The group of people was immediately enveloped in a completely different, 100% darkness from the darkness on the ground.In this total darkness, the eyes have no value in existence.Only hearing and smell can play a role. Hatakeyama seems to have deeply understood the reason why the eyes of the creatures in the cave have degenerated and become blind over a long period of time. In the pitch-black darkness, Yoneda tried to feel something, so he took a closer look, but couldn't see anything. "Anyway, let's go and see!" They turned on the lights one by one again and started to walk forward. After walking about twenty meters: "It really is it!..." Hatakeyama said in surprise, "That's not a human voice, it's the sound of running water!..." A dark pool appeared in front of it, and a slender stream of water flowed out from the opening below the cave wall.It sounded like a sobbing sound, it was the chirping sound of spring water flowing into a pool.Moreover, I don't know the reason, but after a certain period of time, this water flow will increase periodically.During this period, the voice increased, and it sounded like a quarrel between men. "Oh! ... asshole! ..." Momoda sighed: "The ghost is true, it was originally a dog tail ... ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHA Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Hatakeyama said while shining his flashlight in front of him, "The roof of the cave has become very low, but it seems that you can get in if you dive into the pool." "Are you going to dive in?" Criminal Police Chief Tsuchiya said indifferently. "Cobalt Water Cave is the beginning of cave exploration." Hatakeyama said proudly while taking off his clothes quickly. "I'll try it first. If the hole is long, I'll fold it back." After Hatakeyama took off his clothes until only a pair of shorts remained, he put his feet into the pool. "Oh, his grandma's is so cool!..." Hatakeyama said so, while splashing water on his body with both hands, and then slowly dived down.The water was waist-deep, and a few steps forward, the roof of the cave drooped, leaving only about ten centimeters of space between it and the water surface. Hatakeyama's whole body was immersed in the water, only his head with the headlight exposed, and walked forward slowly.His figure quickly disappeared.After a while, the light came from the opposite side, and the voice rang out: "The cave is about three meters long, nothing special. There is a big hall on the side of the cave. Now that you have come to the hall, how can you not appreciate it? How about going back?......Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Hahahahahahahahahahaha! The Yoneda Public Police Department quickly looked at the watch, and it was not yet time to return. "Okay!..." He waved his hand and jumped down with a "plop", "Go, go and have a look. You should experience everything." The water temperature is about ten degrees, it is so cold that it makes people shiver.Walking through the pool to the opposite side, the group of people were as cold as chaff.The temperature in the cave did not exceed twelve degrees.Someone shook his arms to warm his body.It is absolutely forbidden to light fire in the cave. Yonedako's sense of smell was twice as sensitive as that of ordinary people, and in the permanently lingering air in this hall, he already smelled an abnormal smell that shouldn't be there. While searching for that smell, Yoneda came to the side of the temple Hatakeyama mentioned. Standing on tiptoe, he shined the light of his flashlight from among the stone pillars hovering above the rock wall like a fence, and took a look.I saw the second row of stone pillars inside, and looked inside again, and saw a mass of fat that was completely different from the white color of stalactites.After observing from various angles, he still couldn't see clearly what it was. Yet there was no doubt that it was the source of that stench which seemed to make one sick.After the partners noticed the actions of Yoneda, they gathered around Yoneda. "It smells really bad, what the hell is it?" "Stop talking, it's a rotten smell!" the Yoneda Police Department said angrily. "However, in such a deep hole, how can there be animals that rot after death?" Yone Tiangong stopped everyone who was clamoring and said, "No matter what, I have to go and have a look. I am a bit reluctant to go in. Who can get through the middle of this stone pillar?" "Let me come, it seems that I am the thinnest." A young and capable police officer stepped forward, jumped up the stone steps with light movements, took off his watch, and handed it to the companion below.He put his shoulders in first, but got stuck and couldn't get in.This time he changed his approach and put his feet in first.Squeezed to the waist and got stuck again, struggling for a long time.During the struggle, I don't know what kind of skill, I slipped in. A strange exclamation suddenly sounded in the ears of the group of people who were waiting anxiously. "What's the matter, Mr. Sakurai?..." The person below shouted impatiently, "What's in there?" "Bastard!...Damn it..." came Sakurai's trembling voice, "It's two naked female corpses. Half of their heads have turned into stalactites." "That's right!..." The Yoneda Police Department nodded triumphantly. "So what is it?" Tsuchiya Criminal Police Chief asked curiously. "Mr. Miyao has already said that in the police station before. Recently, two young girls in this area have disappeared one after another!" "It's true, so let's say, this matter..." "Yeah, probably what Hamada did." "What is that for?" "It's probably sexual assault, let's say it's rape." The Yoneda Public Police Department immediately called the Miyao squad through the radio, but there was no response.He guessed that it might be due to the distance and the underground maze criss-crossing, which caused the radio waves to not pass through.If that's the case, even if he is a police department from afar, he is the only one who is in command at this moment. "Okay, let's all work together to lift the two female corpses out." "What, do you mean to carry it out? Mr. Police Department!" Sakurai said in surprise, "The corpse is very rotten, and it is absolutely impossible to lift it out from the middle of the stalactites." "If there is no other way, then break off two or three stone pillars first, and must lift them out." about three hours later... Patrol cars, ambulances, police, reporters from the newspaper branch, and people who couldn't help but watch the excitement turned upside down near the entrance of the rock house cave where twilight began to fall, and people turned upside down. It wasn't just the decomposing and smelly corpses of the two girls whose whereabouts were unknown that were carried out of the cave, but also the seriously injured Miyao Police Department.After Ikawa was hit by Hamada's wooden stick, he rolled down the cliff with his ribs broken and died on the spot.After Hamada and Miyaolou hugged each other and rolled down, his skull was also shattered and he died on the spot.Miyao's left shoulder was dislocated, all her teeth were lost, her left cheekbone was fractured, and she was seriously injured. This bloody tragedy caused an uproar in the small town that had become like a pool of stagnant water since the coal mine closed down. The call from Tokyo is waiting for the Yoneda Public Police Department who has returned to the Fangcheng Police Station for the time being.The caller was Police Officer Ogasawara, the head of the First Investigation Division. "It's hard work. I heard the director there give a general idea." Ogasawara police inspector said with a sigh. "Yeah, I never expected that I would run into a murderous lunatic." "Okay, let's listen to you slowly after you come back. The situation here has also undergone major changes. So, I will contact you." "What change?" Yoneda Police Department asked curiously. "It has been found out: it is not Ito who is being followed, but Kurata Yamahiro Goro." "Ah, that's what it is. But, why..." "There are various reasons, but there are two main points: one is that there is a dispute over the inheritance of the Kuratayama family, and the other is that Ito's blood type is inconsistent with the blood type on the dagger." "What... is it? But, the general criminal..." "I have listed a few suspects for the time being. They are a middle-aged man and woman. They are related to the legacy of the Cangtian Shan family just mentioned." "Oh, the case has changed so much!..." Yone Tiangong sighed infinitely. "Well, so, I want you to return to the headquarters immediately, how is the investigation over there?" "The person who was following him is dead. Afterwards, we asked a third person, and we also investigated his activities. Now we have found out that in mid-August, he did not even leave the area." "Really?...Then, can you come back right away?" "Yes, we will leave this evening, or early tomorrow morning." "Well, let's talk about the details after we meet. Please give my regards to the director there." "Understood, see you later!..." The Yoneda Public Police Department greeted excitedly and hung up the phone.
