Chapter 30 5. Above ground and underground

When Zhizhi and Wendai arrived at the Qiben mansion, the criminal police sent by the district police station had already broken in and searched every room. Zhizhi rushed into the house, thinking that Bo Yue had already explained in advance, so the police did not stop him, but welcomed him. "It was empty, not even a mouse." The plainclothes criminal police who directed the search reported. "Have you also searched the basement where Yucun and his son were imprisoned?" Zhizhi asked. "I can't find the basement you mentioned, let alone the suspected entrance to the basement." The criminal police replied in confusion.

"Well, if that's the case, someone can lead the way. By chance, the devil's daughter reported this to me...Miss Wendai, where is the basement?" Zhizhi yelled, and Wen Dai, who was standing on the porch facing the edge of the courtyard, ran in. "The situation is not good. If you don't hurry up, it may be too late! I have observed the pond in the yard, and the water level is dropping. Mr. Yucun's family really wanted to dig the earth wall to escape, and they fell into a trap!" She finished speaking hastily with a pale face, and ran to a large room next to the living room, and everyone immediately followed.

"There's an entrance to the basement in this cupboard." Wen Dai opened the cabinet door while explaining, looked inside in a hurry, but then backed away with an exclamation of "Ah". This monster is so rampant.He sensed that the police were coming, so he lay in ambush alone at the basement entrance. The cover of the closet was lifted about two or three inches, revealing a human hand underneath, like a high-spirited snake head, holding a deadly Browning gun aimed at the sensible group in front of the closet. The monster's desperate resistance made Zhizhi and the criminal police frightened, and they stood there in a daze.

At the same time, in the basement where you can't see your fingers, the three Yucun father and son hold each other's hands tightly, watching the water level continue to rise, helpless. Taeko must have drowned, the three of Ren, father and son broke their throats and did not respond.Even if he wanted to look for her, there was bottomless water all around him. He didn't know where she was, and he couldn't find her thoroughly. The water level rose at an alarming speed, from the abdomen to the waist, and then from the waist to the chest. If you were not careful, your feet would be engulfed in the swirling water.

Soon, the water rose from the chest to the neck, and the whole person suddenly floated up, unable to stand any longer.It was severe winter, the icy water was like a sharp knife, and the muscles were completely frozen. "Dad, are you okay?" The brothers were worried about their elderly father, and the two of them hugged his father's strong body from both sides, and encouraged him from time to time. Zentaro didn't know whether he was desperate or not, so he hummed the Buddha's name sadly. In front of the cabinet, an astute criminal policeman found a thick bamboo pole from nowhere, and tied a moderately sized stone to the front end. He planned to use the bamboo pole to knock down the gun in the demon's hand after avoiding the bullets.

Then, everyone backed away from the range and watched the development of the situation with bated breath.The criminal police first lifted the bamboo pole up to the ceiling above the cupboard, took aim and slammed it down on the monster's hand, and then there was a loud bang. Even though Wen Dai turned his face away and covered his ears, he still screamed "Ah" in fright.When she thought that it was her father who was injured, she couldn't bear the pain. The villain loosened his hand in pain, and the pistol fell off and flew out of the cabinet. Everyone yelled and rushed forward, but unexpectedly there was a burst of laughter.

"You bastard, you got caught!" The criminal policeman, holding a bamboo pole as a weapon, was extremely unwilling and yelled, baring his teeth. The prosthetic hand was cleverly camouflaged with sticks and cotton wicks, and the gun was just a toy gun.Hidden in a dark cupboard, it is impossible to tell the authenticity. "It's ridiculous that we should waste twenty minutes on this wooden man!" And this is the purpose of the devil.In case the rescuers arrived, as long as they could obstruct the entrance, even if there was only a short delay, it would be a matter of life and death for the Yucun family soaked in the water in the basement.The devil's defense is really too thorough.

Knowing that it was just a wooden man, the criminal police quickly lifted the cover and rushed down to the basement. Unexpectedly, there is a second checkpoint waiting for them under the stairs.Although the newly built brick wall by the thieves has not been completely solidified, it will take a lot of work to destroy it, not to mention that there is another locked iron door in front of the basement.Can the strength of the criminal police alone really break through all these difficulties and rescue people? At this time, the water in the basement had risen to the necks of the three people. Before they knew it, Ichiro and Jiro could only swim in the water.With the help of the two of them, Zentarou barely let his body float.

It's just that they can't swim like this all the time in the dark, and the three of them feel that their bodies have gradually become paralyzed. "No, I can't hold on anymore!" Ichiro had already started talking nonsense. "I'm weak all over, let's just stop it once and for all." Erlang hugged his elder brother tightly, sobbing.His father, Yucun, was dead at this moment, his whole body was exhausted, and he didn't even have the strength to speak. Ah, is Wen Dai's innocence, wisdom and the efforts of all the criminal police in vain?Just one step away, is the Yucun family doomed to drown in the basement?
