"What is that place for?" Wang Anguo suddenly asked.
When Mine Manager An saw Wang Anguo's sudden attention, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
But he still pretended to be calm and said: "That was a mine we abandoned before!"
"Let's go over and have a look!"
"Comrade Public Security, most of it has been buried there, there's nothing interesting to see!" Mine Director An said hurriedly.
"It's okay, we're just doing a routine search to make sure we don't miss anything!"
Afterwards, Wang Anguo led the people over there.
It can be seen that this mine is very deep, and the entrance alone is three to four meters high.
But it may be because it was abandoned. The entrance of the cave was filled with all kinds of soil, sand, gravel and coal gangue.
Abandoned mines and mine pits like this are so common in mining areas, so they have not attracted the attention of others.
After looking at the entrance of the cave for a while, he found nothing unusual. Li Gang sighed and said, "Team Wang, it seems there is nothing we are looking for here. How about we withdraw?"
However, Wang Anguo shook his head and said, "Wait a minute!"
Then, with Li Gang's stunned eyes, Wang Anguo said to the team members behind him: "Dig this place up!"
"Dig...dig up?"
Without allowing Li Gang to question, Wang Anguo said in a deep voice: "Dig!"
Hearing that Wang Anguo was going to dig the abandoned mine again, Mine Manager An's heart was in his throat and he said hurriedly: "Comrade, this well is very big and deep. If we dig it out, you have to fill it in again." Otherwise, we alone can’t fill it!”
Wang Anguo ignored him and said to the people around him: "Dig quickly! Dig deep!"
Hearing the word "dig deep", Li Gang suddenly thought of what the magician said in the morning: "dig deep in this direction, there must be what you are looking for!"
Isn't that what that guy meant when he said digging deep?
Although he didn't quite believe it, he still calmed down!
Soon, the half-hidden entrance to the mine was dug.
The moment the hole was dug, the experienced Wang Anguo discovered something unusual.
Logically speaking, this mine has been abandoned for many years. From the outside, it looks like no one has been there for a long time, but human footprints are found at the entrance of the cave, which are very obvious.
In other words, someone has been in this mine, and more than once!
This discovery made Wang Anguo, Li Gang and others immediately alert, and asked other team members to continue cleaning up the garbage at the entrance of the cave. Wang Anguo, Li Gang and others were preparing to question the mine director An again.
However, when he looked back for the guy, he found that he was no longer there.
"Where are the people?" Wang Anguo asked hurriedly to Director Zhou beside him.
"He said he was going back to clean up the dining area and feed the dog by the way!"
"Which direction did it go?"
"Over there!" Director Zhou said, pointing to the direction where the workers were eating just now.
Wang Anguo took a closer look and found a figure walking over there. Realizing that this guy might be trying to escape, he immediately said, "Chase, there's something wrong with this guy!"
Following Wang Anguo's order, the police and armed police around him immediately chased after him.
Seeing someone chasing him, mine manager An immediately ran away.
In addition, a similar phenomenon occurred where coal miners gathered, and those few workers also fled in all directions.
Wang Anguo immediately shouted: "Catch them, don't let them escape!"
Although he brought more than 200 people here this time, they were very scattered. In fact, there were only more than 30 people who came with him to Chakang'an Coal Mine.
Except for those who dig abandoned mines, there aren't many people actually around.
Now these guys were running away, which made Wang Anguo suddenly anxious.
At the same time, he was also a little excited. Although he had not found those children yet, he knew from the way these people ran away that there must be something wrong with them.
Li Gang was also a little confused. Things turned around so quickly that he didn't even react.
Although it is still unclear why those people ran away, out of professional instinct, he still led the people to chase them, and at the same time sent a signal to the surrounding militia for reinforcements!
When the surrounding armed police and militiamen saw the signal flares and heard the sound of warning shots fired by Wang Anguo and others, they immediately rushed over from all around.
While working together to capture the fleeing miners, a breakthrough was made in the search for abandoned mines.
As the entrance to the mine was dug, several police officers with flashlights immediately went down to search.
Although it was pitch black below the well, the soldiers became more excited as they went deeper, because after going a few dozen meters deep, they found signs of human life, such as the ubiquitous Ollie.
This shows that there are people underground, and there are quite a few of them.
When they went more than a hundred meters into the well, they found a large iron gate in front of them.
The iron gate is directly embedded into the stone wall of the mine, and there is a large lock on it, which looks very strong.
Without the key, the police first hit the lock with rocks several times, but found that the lock did not move at all.
Then you can only go up there to find a hammer and crowbar!
Soon, the tools were sent down the hole.
With the combined efforts of several police officers, the lock on the big iron door was finally knocked off.
Then, they pushed open the big iron door with excitement and anxiety.
The moment the iron door was pushed open, everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them.
I saw that the cold and dim mine was filled with a rotten smell mixed with the stench of feces and urine. No one went in, and the pungent smell made people retching.
With the help of the narrow flashlight, the soldiers responsible for the search finally saw the scene in the mine clearly.
In the deep but not spacious mine, there were several tattered straw mats, and there were more than a dozen small figures huddled on the straw mats.
These are the children who were abducted!
These children were wearing tattered and thin clothes, which didn't matter outside. After all, it was June, and they wouldn't feel cold even if they were only wearing small pants.
But it was very cold in this cold mine, so the children huddled together to stay warm.
Moreover, most of these children were disgraced and not in very good spirits. It was obvious that they had suffered a lot during this period.
Several of them were lying motionless on the ground, not knowing whether they were dead or alive!
Perhaps the sound of hammering on the locks scared them. The children huddled together in fear, and their bodies continued to tremble. This made the public security soldiers feel very distressed.
Afterwards, the soldiers immediately went over to check on the children!
I found that although most of the children were not in very good condition, they were not injured and would be fine if they went back to be raised.
However, several children were sick and had high fevers. The situation was very bad.
At that moment, the soldiers immediately took the children out of the mine one by one...
