The cave was finally dug, and the tired villagers were very happy. Although they were very tired, they still earned four yuan.
Mr. Zhou was actually holding on. He rushed all the way to Zhucheng without resting, and then rushed to Tangcun. After a day in the mountains, he was severely exhausted.
As soon as he heard that it was dug through, he immediately became energetic and strode towards the cave.
"Leader, please be patient and send someone in first to take a look!"
Mr. Zhou was stopped by his men, and he didn't know what was going on in the cave.
Several men entered the cave and after walking only about fifty meters, they saw a pile of rocks like a mountain. They could also see exposed hands and feet, and there was a strong smell of blood in the air.
Their hearts sank suddenly, and Zhou Siming looked more desperate.
"Is Siming in there?"
As soon as they came out, Mr. Zhou asked anxiously.
"Yes, but the situation is not good."
The men hesitated for a moment, then told the truth. Mr. Zhou swayed, held on, and strode into the cave. When he saw the man buried under the rocks, his eyes went dark. Fortunately, he was supported by someone.
"Quickly, dig them out!"
Mr. Zhou's voice trembled. At this moment, he just hoped that his grandson was still alive.
Without his order, the others started doing it, and after half an hour, ten people were exposed.
They were lying in various directions, some on their backs, others on their stomachs.
Mr. Zhou picked up the nearest person, turned over and saw that it was Liu Kangri, who was already out of breath.
Liu Kangri looked frightened, his eyes were complicated, regret, fear, hatred... His body was already cold, and he had obviously been dead for a long time.
"The eldest son is here!"
One of his men found Zhou Siming, but his expression turned ugly as he put his hand under his nose.
Mr. Zhou's heart skipped a beat, and he walked over without asking. He reached out to Zhou Siming's neck and touched it. There was no pulse and his body was cold.
"Siming!"
Mr. Zhou screamed sadly and burst into tears.
Although he valued Zhou Siming the most, Zhou Siming was also his beloved grandson.
His grandson, who was obviously alive and kicking ten days ago, was now a cold corpse with wounds all over his body and bloody flesh. His grandson was so clean that he couldn't get any dust on his body, but now he died in such an embarrassment.
Mr. Zhou was holding his grandson's body and weeping silently. The men next to him didn't dare to dissuade him. As for the lives of the other eight people, no one cared about it at this time.
"Check it out for me, we must find out who killed Siming!"
Mr. Zhou was not sad for long. He issued a stern order that the cave collapse incident must be investigated strictly.
The captain lowered his head and frowned. It was obviously a landslide caused by lightning. If there was anything to find out, he would say that this young man named Zhou was asking for his own death.
If you don't wait for the capital, you have to go to the mountains to seek death. You have to go up the mountains in thunderstorms. What else can you do if you are not seeking death?
With the help of the villagers, all ten corpses were carried down the mountain and placed neatly in the morgue in Tangcun.
It was already late at night, everyone was exhausted, and there were not many empty rooms in the village. Mr. Zhou and the others had no choice but to go back to the commune.
The next day, everyone in Tangcun got up very late. They were all exhausted from last night. Moreover, so many people died at once, and everyone was very panicked.
Tang Niannian was awakened by Mrs. Tang's loud voice. She sat on the bed and listened to the old lady fussing and gossiping.
"Were they really in a cave? Are they all dead? You evildoers, why did a perfectly good cave collapse!"
Mrs. Tang recited Amitabha several times, but she felt that it was unlucky. Ten people died in the mountain all at once, and the good feng shui of Tang Village was destroyed.
"He was stoned to death. My man worked overtime last night. I saw it with my own eyes. It was so miserable. His head was smashed!"
"What are these people doing in the cave? Are they obsessed with ghosts?"
"Shhh, keep your voice down. This is really possible. That cave is very evil anyway. Otherwise, why would those poisonous snakes choose this cave to crawl in? Why would thunder strike it?"
"This is why the King of Hell wants you to die at the third watch. If you can't escape the fifth watch, those people's lifespan is up!"
"The old man from the capital also said that there must be a strict investigation. How else can we investigate and catch ghosts?"
Several women gathered in the courtyard of the Tang family, eating melon seeds and gossiping, all of them beaming.
In order to listen to the gossip, the stingy Mrs. Tang even brought out a plate of melon seeds to entertain her.
"This has nothing to do with us. When will yesterday's wages be paid?" Mrs. Tang is most concerned about wages. She cannot work in vain.
Yesterday, her whole family worked. She, the eldest son, and their two daughters-in-law had a total of eight yuan.
"That's right, there are still wages that haven't been paid. I'll ask the captain!"
"I'm going to ask, too. My man worked overtime last night, and we agreed to give him two yuan."
Several women stopped eating melon seeds and hurriedly ran to find the captain.
The door of the brigade captain's house was crowded with villagers who came to inquire about their salary. They were worried that if Mr. Zhou ran back to the capital, the money would be wasted.
"Why are you so anxious? Can the leaders of the capital rely on your salary? Please be considerate to the old leader. His grandson just had an accident and he must be very sad now. Please wait a few days before asking."
The captain calmed the villagers with kind words.
"Then just wait for two more days, captain, you have to be careful, this is our hard-earned money." The villagers reluctantly agreed.
The captain promised that even if the villagers didn't tell him, he would definitely take notice.
When lunch was about to be eaten, Mr. Zhou arrived in Tangcun, looking even older.
Wei Zhangcheng and others also came with them, and they were ordered to investigate the case. Mr. Zhou insisted that someone deliberately murdered his grandson, so the Zhucheng police had to come to investigate.
The bodies of Zhou Siming's ten people were carried into the car one by one to be sent for cremation.
"Siming, grandpa will definitely take revenge on you!"
Mr. Zhou's expression was cold, and his cloudy eyes shone brightly. He was the first to operate on Tang Niannian.
The death of his grandson must be closely related to Tang Niannian.
And Siren's disappearance is definitely related to this bitch.
Mr. Zhou glanced around the crowd and didn't see Tang Niannian. The bitch was relieved.
"Gongan Wei, my grandson Siming has always acted very steadily. He cannot go to the cave for no reason. Maybe someone deliberately lured him. You should investigate this aspect."
Mr. Zhou called Wei Zhangcheng and his tone was cold and stern.
He found two words in blood under Siming's body. Although they were very blurry, he could barely make out the words "Tang He Nian". It was obviously a reminder left by Siming before he died.
He would never spare Tang Niannian, a bitch. After finding the treasure, he would let this bitch go down below and work as a pawn for Siming.
"I will investigate strictly, please don't worry, leader!"
Wei Zhangcheng agreed very well. In fact, he also suspected that Zhou Siming was killed, but he didn't want to investigate.
The Zhou family has always been domineering and extremely greedy. He didn't want to help the Zhou family, but he couldn't offend them either.
“I hope Public Security Wei’s words and deeds will be consistent!”
Mr. Zhou's tone was sarcastic. He couldn't tell that Wei Zhangcheng didn't do his best, but since he didn't have anyone qualified at the moment, he could only use the person named Wei first and wait until his people came from the capital.
"yes!"
Wei Zhangcheng secretly cursed the old fox, but on the surface he was quite respectful.
"Comrade Tang Niannian is very smart and a local. Let her join the investigation!"
Mr. Zhou called Tang Niannian's name again. He wanted to put this bitch under his eyes and stare at her.
