Chapter 50: Serious Case Shen Chong
As I groped my way down, my sight was already able to see a lot of things clearly as I got used to the darkness for a long time.
The cell phone fragments were quickly thrown away, I returned to the place where I was last together with Liu Yamei just now, and now, I could only hope on Liu Ke and those police officers.
They must find out that Liu Yamei and I have disappeared and send someone to look for us. I thought as I walked forward trembling.
Now that my speed had slowed down, I was more able to observe the environment inside this passageway.
Associating it with those weird virus infected people at the very beginning, the slugs, and the mutated creature dogs and cockroaches. I already had a rough pulse in my mind.
Liu Yamei had once told me that this huge basement was a laboratory decades ago, then converted into a storage room, and finally slowly deserted and abandoned, and even blocked off, all because of the various bizarre and strange events that happened here one after another.
According to my reasoning, these strange events should be the same as those I encountered.
A few decades ago, the cow ghosts and snakes have not been completely cleared, what people are not free from superstition, these mutated creatures as demons and monsters, and then blockade this place, this is a common thing. Then all these decades down the line, it's not that no one has entered here, those first experimenters didn't leave, but hid in our school, secretly doing their experiments.
But so many years have passed, even if those people were only twenty years old back then, they're at least sixty now, right?
The person who attacked us that day, I wasn't able to determine his age, but the man and woman who killed Grandpa Huang, they definitely couldn't be more than thirty.
Inside the quiet passageway there was no sound except for my footsteps and breathing again, I didn't dare to shout, in case I provoked those terrible people, I definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Chen Yanlu saved us once last time, now it is no longer possible, I must find all the evidence and then prove his innocence, otherwise once the court convicted, there is really no chance.
I suddenly felt that those police officers were the darkest people, I lost part of my memory, but listening to Liu Yamei's side talk, when I entered the police station for the first time with Chen Yanlu at that time, I was used by them in an extraordinary way.
Moreover, I was still afraid. Liu Ke was hostile to Chen Yanlu, Chen Yanlu liked me, and so did Liu Ke. That's where their hostility came from.
There was also the death of the principal, these two things didn't seem to have any connection, but, my intuition told me that the principal's death definitely had something to do with the experimenters inside this basement.
One after another, quite a few people have already died, the police, Mr. Huang, the principal. Who is the next person?
I suddenly realized that my brain had also opened up quite a bit, not just my strength.
This, perhaps, is what can be considered to be a detective? In the past, I was held up by my parents, and after that, I had Liu Ke and Chen Yanlu to protect me, and without being exposed to danger, it would be impossible for me to stand on my own two feet, so how could I presume to be a detective?
After this matter is over, I should no longer need the school program. I took a deep breath.
The timid, ready-to-scream Mimi was gone. All that was left was Homie.
There was no time, and I had no idea how far down the passageway had begun to slope.
The circle design from before was a complete figment of my imagination, and in retrospect it's a bit ridiculous. I hadn't carefully reasoned it out, so I just blurted it out. However, Liu Yamei's spirit was a little too fragile.
Just at this time, I suddenly heard a slight gasp.
My nerves immediately tightened, and I tried to suppress my breathing as much as possible, then crouched down in the corner of the place, and gently put my ear against the stone wall, listening carefully to the source of the sound.
Determined that there will be no ghosts, all things are man-made, my fear, has completely disappeared.
After finding Liu Yamei, the Public Security Bureau would definitely believe her words, and then they would file a case, and be able to completely end this basement in one go.
The voice is very weak, seems to be a woman's gasp, intermittent can not be heard clearly.
Liu Yamei?
What happened to her?
I tiptoed on down, paying careful attention to the left and right sides of the passageway, then and the ground.
Didn't see anything like a secret door, and that gasping voice, after I took a few steps out, disappeared.
Missed it?
I walked back over to where the sound was, then listened carefully.
Vaguely, in addition to the gasping, there was a cry for help, very faint, and trailing off to seem extraordinarily mournful.
It was Liu Yamei! I was sure that it was Liu Yamei's voice! She's been captured!
Here, is there another room? But where is the door.
After I looked back and forth twice, but still couldn't find the entrance, Liu Yamei's voice, had disappeared.
In the middle of the passage, silence returned.
I pummeled the wall with force unwillingly, biting my lip, and said in a hateful voice, "Don't ever let me catch you, or else, I won't let you go."
Liu Yamei was captured, there is no doubt that there is someone here, but I no longer dare to go down the road, if I run into him alone, it will be absolutely vicious. Right now, the most important thing is to go to Liu Yamei's colleague, is the best way.
Thus, I immediately reversed my direction and walked towards the passageway beyond.
A burst of hunger and thirst in my abdomen told me that at least six hours had passed. As I walked, the sound of the ticking water, sounded again.
I walked forward quickly, and soon, I found the source of the sound of water, water droplets, from the ceiling above the passageway fell down. Seeing the water droplets that kept soaking out from the ceiling, my face instantly tightened up.
Above this passage, there are other rooms? Moreover, there was still water there!
There is no water inside the library, and if this passageway is still inside the library, then in the middle of the library and this underground passageway, could there still be a space?
Thinking about Liu Yamei's gasping and shouting voice just now, her position was already calling out.
I slapped myself hard, just now, I only paid attention to the left and right two stone walls and the underground, I didn't even look at the ceiling above, on the ceiling, there must be a secret door.
Go back? No, now I go back, is equal to sheep into the tiger's mouth, Liu Yamei's spirit has broken down, is a great drag, and do not know how many people on the other side in the end, even if it is one, I am afraid it is not now I can deal with.
I took a deep breath and walked quickly towards the outside of the passage. However, I didn't find a single cockroach in sight. Where did they go?
At this time, I suddenly remembered that the iron door, which was closed just now.
How should I get out?
To my surprise, when I arrived at the location of the iron door, that door, however, was already open!
I took a step out of the iron door, and suddenly, a cold gun barrel was blocked on top of my forehead.
The hard barrel of the gun caused my temples to tingle. My eyelids fluttered wildly, and my scalp tingled. But didn't dare to make any movement.
"Hello, you are under arrest, now, you can not have to speak, but every word you say will be used as evidence in court." A calm male voice, rang beside my ears, police?
I suddenly felt a moment of relaxation in my taut nerves, and then a blackness came over me, and I went down.
The last thing I felt, I fell into a wide, thick embrace.
Morning Research Dew? I fancied that the odor, unlike-
I don't know how long I slept, but when I woke up, I found myself lying in the middle of a room with a strong smell of potion, I just wanted to get up, but I was immediately pressed down by a pair of thick hands on my shoulders.
Then a low male voice rang in my ears, "You have a syringe in your hand, you can't move."
I reluctantly opened my eyes, only to see an unfamiliar man, who was holding my shoulders, and I was so close to him that I was seemingly only an arm's length away.
The faint smell of tobacco drilled into my nostrils all at once.
I lay back down powerlessly, then suddenly remembered that Liu Yamei was still underground! I immediately shouted loudly, "Liu Yamei has been captured, quickly go save her!"
After saying that, I seemed to have lost my strength again, and fell softly onto the bed, breathing feebly, the feeling of hunger in my abdomen once again devoured me, that man frowned slightly after hearing my words, then spoke, "Liu Yamei has been captured? Tell me the situation carefully."
I looked at him with a cautious face, then remembered that I hadn't seen him before, and the feeling of the gun barrel against my temple was still fresh in my mind.
The man seemed to notice my caution, and then with an expressionless face, he pulled out a small ID from his pocket and put it in front of my eyes.
"Serious Crime Unit? Shen Chong?" I looked at him in surprise, my eyes widening. Such a young and handsome member of the Serious Crimes Unit? I can't help but say that this man, really handsome, bronze skin, angular cheeks, knife eyebrows, godly eyes, and a faint smell of tobacco, if thrown inside the school, it would immediately cause those students to explode, right?
The female students of the political science and law department would definitely-
"Miss?" That man very feebly interrupted my imagination, and a cold sweat suddenly appeared behind my back. I actually made a nymphomaniac ……
I took a deep breath and mumbled in my mind, "Homi, wake up."
Shen Chong waited patiently for my answer, and I gradually steadied my breathing, then slowly told the process in which the two of us, Liu Yamei and I, entered the underground of the library word by word.
During this process, Shen Chong kept his frowning expression, and I asked him with some uneasiness what had happened.
Shen Chong, however, narrowed his eyes and said word for word, "Are you sure, is there anything else missing?" Then, I watched as he took a small book and kept recording something.
I still didn't understand everything there, he was actually writing a confession!
I glared at him angrily, then said in a trembling voice, "You're treating me as a suspect!"
I didn't expect Shen Chong to nod vigorously, then said without expression, "Everyone, is a suspect, including your two classmates, of which, Liu Ke is the most suspicious. You and Chen Yanlu are slightly smaller."
