Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 231 Progress
Yue Jianfeng squatted next to Lin Xiaodong to have a look, and saw that apart from the stagnant water at the entrance of the cave, the passage inside was dry. With the light of the flashlight, some traces could be vaguely seen under the passage, and the palm prints were so clear.

"Someone got in!" Yue Jianfeng blurted out.

"And it was before the typhoon came." Lin Xiaodong said, "There is no water mark inside, go in and have a look!" Lin Xiaodong said, crawling in with his back bent, followed by Yue Jianfeng.

After taking photos of the traces on the ground to collect evidence, the two continued to go in. Unexpectedly, it suddenly became clear that the hole was getting higher and higher, and soon the two tall ones could stand and walk without crawling on the ground.

Although it was daytime, the cave was pitch black, and Lin Xiaodong's flashlight was the only light source.

There is a road tens of meters away from the mountain. At first, they could vaguely hear the sound of traffic outside the entrance of the cave. As they walked in, it became quieter, and they could not hear anything except their own footsteps and breathing.

After a while, even the sound of the beating pulse was clearly audible.

There is no fork in this passage, they can only walk in its direction, and they don't know what is waiting for them. Before reaching the end, no one can guarantee that this entrance is connected to the independent cell .

This darkness, quietness and uncertainty is enough to make people breathless, and it will give people the illusion that this road will go on like this forever.

As a result, the end came unexpectedly. When they felt that the passage was going uphill, several white lights suddenly appeared in front of them, and a few steps forward, a square exit appeared in front of them, but for people like Lin Xiaodong and Yue Jianfeng For tall people, the hole is a bit smaller.

Looking out through the hole, it is the floor of the independent cell and the position under the bed.

"It's true that anyone can kill Xu Binyong..." Lin Xiaodong looked at the strange perspective outside, recalling what Ye Mimi said to him, he couldn't help muttering.

……

In the middle of the night, the Linzhou Detention Center and Houshan were brightly lit.

People from the provincial department, the municipal bureau, and even the planning and construction department of Linzhou all came.After more than ten hours of thorough investigation, according to the drawings provided by Lin Xiaodong, the hidden secret passages in Linzhou Detention Center were found out one by one. However, except for the one they found in the back mountain, the rest of the secret passages were due to the age. Either collapsed or blocked, not enough to pose a threat to the security of the detention center.

However, for Lin Xiaodong and the others, this is not good news.This situation can only show that the secret passage in the independent cell was artificially reserved or cleared.

It was a long-planned plan, and until now they knew nothing of who planned it.

"The murderer took advantage of this secret passage and hid under the wooden bed. Taking advantage of the time when the monitoring was replaced, he strangled Xu Binyong to death and pretended to commit suicide. There was even enough time to clean up the traces on the scene. It seems that it was the work of a professional killer. The possibility is extremely high." Standing in Liangtang's separate cell, Lin Xiaodong said to Yue Jianfeng.

The wooden bed fixed to the ground had been removed, and the square exit that had been left in the corner for a hundred years was finally completely exposed to them.

"At present, the place where we are more likely to find clues is the channel we found. The footprints and palms have already been analyzed by colleagues in the technical department." Yue Jianfeng said, "However, no fingerprints or hairs have been found yet. Useful evidence."

"If it is a professional killer, it is likely to wear gloves." Lin Xiaodong is not hopeful about this.

"However, one thing is for sure. This person is not tall. You can see that neither of us can climb out of this exit. Team Lin, you said that this passage was used by the warlord Lu Guangzhong when he was planning to fight and retreat. It is so small. Isn't it inconvenient to escape at the entrance of the cave?" Yue Jianfeng muttered.

"People in Lu Guangzhong's time were generally shorter than we are now, and this entrance is not too small for people at that time." Lin Xiaodong said, "I was thinking that the clue of Lu Guangzhong was the person who sent me the painting. Provided, that is to say, he knew that there was such a passage in this cell. We are basically sure that this person was also imprisoned here in 1998. Do you think the discovery of this passage has something to do with 1998? "

"Ah, Team Lin, I think this matter is a bit confusing. You see, this person has provided you with so many hints. He obviously hopes to help us find out the case of Xu Binyong. But if he discovered the channel in 1998, Xu Binyong was killed by someone using this channel again, so he is suspected of being seriously involved, which is very contradictory..." Yue Jianfeng said in confusion.

"Switch the monitor, open up the secret passage..." Lin Xiaodong stared at the hole, touched his chin, and murmured, "Everything cannot be done by one person. What we are facing is a gang committing crimes. It seems that not only We have inner ghosts here, and they too..."

……

It was almost dawn when all on-site evidence collection was over.

Lin Xiaodong dragged his exhausted body out of Linzhou Detention Center, and was about to leave by car with Yue Jianfeng when his cell phone rang suddenly.

It was Ye Mimi who called.

Lin Xiaodong immediately answered the phone.

"Quick answer? Looks like I've been busy all night." Ye Mimi's voice came from the other end of the phone. Even though it was five o'clock in the morning, she was still very awake.

But Lin Xiaodong found his voice hoarse when he opened his mouth: "I just came out of Linzhou Detention Center."

"I guess, the harvest is quite good." Ye Mimi said leisurely.

"You are right, the murderer really came out of a secret passage to kill."

For this result, Ye Mimi was obviously not surprised: "Okay, with such a big progress, let's have breakfast together?"

Lin Xiaodong laughed after hearing this: "I was invited by Mr. Ye to have breakfast, Quan Linzhou, am I the first one? Where to eat? I'll take a taxi here."

"No, Ah Ruo should be here." Ye Mimi said on the other end of the phone.

Lin Xiaodong looked up after hearing this, and sure enough, Ah Ruo appeared on the side of the road at some point, and waved at him smilingly from afar.

This is the feeling of being arranged by Ye Mimi again.

Lin Xiaodong shook his head with a helpless smile, said goodbye to Yue Jianfeng, and walked towards A Ruo by himself.

"It seems that Ye Mimi expected that I was here in the detention center." Lin Xiaodong said as soon as he came to A Ruo.

"That's necessary. With Team Lin's mobility, Mr. Ye just estimated the time for your completion." A Ruo finished speaking and pulled Lin Xiaodong to the side.

The Rolls-Royce was parked around the corner, just out of sight of others.

"Where to eat?" Lin Xiaodong asked.

Ah Ruo grinned: "You will know when you arrive."
