conspiracy crime 1

Chapter 23 The Shocking Case (2)
Fan Zetian hurriedly dodged behind a rock, and at the same time saw her face clearly, it was indeed Wang Qianna.

After Wang Qianna confirmed that there was no one around, she suddenly pushed aside a clump of weeds on the hillside, revealing a dark cave.

She put on a set of work clothes for miners, put on a hard hat, turned on the miner's lamp above her head, walked into the cave with a bow, and then turned around to close the weeds at the entrance of the cave.

Fan Zetian couldn't help being taken aback, he didn't expect there to be such a secret cave here, let alone guess what Wang Qianna was doing here in the middle of the night.

He followed quickly and also got into the cave.

He drilled in and found that it was not a cave, but a mine. Moss had grown on the walls of the well, and the wooden piles on both sides and the planks above the head had begun to rot. It was obviously an old mine that had been abandoned for many years.

What is Wang Qianna doing in this old mine?

She didn't notice that someone was following her tens of meters behind her, and she still walked forward with the miner's lamp on.

This old mine is about 200 meters deep. At the end of the mine, there are tools for digging and picking soil such as shovels and baskets.

After Wang Qianna reached the end, she picked up the shovel and dug up the soil.

Looking at the two sides at the end of the mine, there is new soil more than [-] meters away. Obviously, this last section was dug by her recently. It seems that she has been digging here quietly for a long time.

The more Fan Zetian looked at it, the more incredible he became.

He hid in the dark mine and observed for more than an hour. Seeing that Wang Qianna had no other suspicious actions other than digging with a shovel, he quietly retreated from the mine.

In the next few nights, he discovered through follow-up observation that Wang Qianna would go to the secret old mine to dig soil after twelve o'clock every night, and she would not go back to her room to rest until the waning moon set in the west and the sky was twilight.

The old mine shaft was dug forward several meters by her.

On the fifth night, at midnight, Fan Zetian quietly came to the old mine again to observe Wang Qianna's actions as usual.

Just after walking more than 100 meters in the dark in the mine, I heard a voice talking inside.

He couldn't help being taken aback. In the past, Wang Qianna would come in quietly alone. How could there be other people in the well tonight?

He hurriedly quickened his pace, walked to a place only tens of meters away from the end and hid, listening to the voices inside.Wang Qianna said angrily: "You are so despicable, you actually followed me secretly."

"So what about following you? If you haven't done anything wrong, why are you so sneaky?"

What Fan Zetian never dreamed of was that it was Qin Bao's voice who said these words.

Wang Qianna said loudly: "Qin, don't spout blood. Tell me, what did I do wrong?"

Qin Bao sneered twice, and said, "Okay, since you haven't done anything wrong, then I won't say anything more. I'll call the boss tomorrow morning."

"You..." Wang Qianna's voice dropped significantly, "What do you want?"

In the darkness, Qin Bao let out a series of sinister smiles and said, "Little beauty, my request is very simple. As long as you satisfy me once, I will pretend that nothing happened tonight."

"You... dream!"

"Don't refuse so quickly. I don't know what you intend to dig in this old mine in the middle of the night, but I believe that if the boss finds out, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Do you believe it? "

Wang Qianna was silent for a long while before she said helplessly, "...Okay, I promise you..."

Qin Bao triumphantly let out a series of obscene laughter, followed by Wang Qianna's struggling sounds and Qin Bao's rustling sounds...

Finally, Fan Zetian couldn't bear it anymore, quickly grabbed a handful of wet mud from the ground, wiped his face with a big face, then rushed out like lightning, and kicked Qin Bao's buttocks heavily on Wang Qianna who was jumping on top of Wang Qianna like a wild dog .

With a "grunt" sound, Qin Bao rolled to the ground like a wax gourd.

He hurriedly got up from the ground, turned his head and saw that there was an unidentified big man with a muddy face in front of him, he couldn't help being shocked and angry: "Damn, who are you? How dare you spoil my good deeds!" Fan Zetian rushed over and hit with a raised fist.He has a burly figure and heavy punches, if he hits him, it must be uncomfortable.

When Fan Zetian waited for his fist to reach halfway, he suddenly lowered his head and dodged his fist. At the same time, he inserted his right knee between his legs, and hugged his thigh with both hands. Picking it up from the ground, turning around on the spot, he threw him heavily on the ground.

Qin Bao was thrown so badly that his eyes were staring at him. Just as he was about to get up, Fan Zetian stepped on his back heavily.

He couldn't get up from his feet with all his strength, so he slapped the ground and begged for mercy: "Heroic man, spare your life! Good man, spare your life!"

Fan Zetian said: "Let's spare your life today, if you dare to bully this Miss Wang and other miners next time, I will kill you! Get lost!"

As soon as he lifted his foot, Qin Bao heaved a sigh of relief, and ran out of the mine while scrambling.

Fan Zetian looked at Wang Qianna and saw that she was fine except for the torn blouse, so he took off a blouse and put it on for her, without saying much, he turned his head and walked outside.

At noon the next day, when he was having lunch in the cafeteria, he suddenly found that his rice bowl, which had never been filled with oil and water, was filled with a lot of dishes, as well as some fish and chicken. The opposite sat down, winked at him and said softly, "Thank you for saving me last night."

Fan Zetian couldn't help being startled, not understanding why she recognized him.She smiled sweetly and said, "You forgot, there is your ID card in the pocket of the jacket you took off to me."

Only then did Fan Zetian suddenly realize.

After eating, when Wang Qianna got up to leave, she suddenly pushed a small note from under the table into his hand.

He picked it up and saw that it said: Someone is going to kill you, be careful!

He couldn't help being taken aback, and when he looked up, he saw that Wang Qianna had already walked away.

A few days later, the captain suddenly changed Fan Zetian's job and asked him to dig coal underground.

When he arrived underground, he found that his roommate He Zhenfei had also been assigned to dig coal.

He Zhenfei's body was already very thin. After experiencing this hard life as a miner, he became even thinner. His eyes were sunken, his cheekbones were high, and he looked like he hadn't recovered from a long illness.

Fan Zetian greeted him, picked up the shovel, and started to work.

After digging for a few days, the raw coal in the mine gradually decreased, and the mining work of this mine was nearing completion.

This afternoon, Fan Zetian, He Zhenfei and others were digging the last bit of raw coal at the bottom of the well when they suddenly heard a muffled "boom", and suddenly felt the ground shake, and a breath of dust rushed towards them.

Then, the mine suddenly fell silent, not a single sound could be heard.

Fan Zetian was the first to react: "No, it's a landslide!"

He hastily used the miner's lamp above his head to illuminate the direction of the mine exit, only to see that the place 30 meters away from the bottom of the mine had been completely sealed by the collapsed mud and rocks above his head.

"What?" The miners behind him couldn't help but turn pale with fright, they were stunned at once, and then panicked.

After everyone realized that they were buried alive in the mine, someone suddenly burst into tears.

Fan Zetian collected himself, tried to calm himself down, then turned his head, illuminated it with a miner's lamp, and found that besides him and He Zhenfei, there were a dozen or so miners trapped in the mine, and everyone was very excited.

His mood suddenly became heavy.

At this time, a miner suddenly knelt down on the ground, beat his chest and patted the ground, and cried loudly: "God, why are you so cruel... It wasn't enough to bury my brother alive in the landslide last month, and today I was told to die in this well." ... I have a pity that there are old and young in my family, how will I live in the future..."

Fan Zetian's heart shook, and he lifted him up from the ground: "What did you say? Last month your brother...?"

The miner wept sadly and said: "On the 13th of last month, a mine shaft in the mine collapsed severely. At that time, more than 40 miners who were working underground did not survive. Among them was my younger brother... Afterwards, the boss He gave me 8 yuan in compensation and told me not to tell anyone about it, otherwise not only will the compensation be withdrawn, but my house will also be set on fire...Unexpectedly, even I will..."

Fan Zetian clenched his teeth and punched the wall of the well: "Such a thing really happened!"

He Zhenfei sighed, and said in a strange way: "Oh, who said we are poor. The lives of poor people are so worthless. Last time no one organized a rescue, and presumably no one will come to rescue us this time. Let's not cry too Stop making trouble, just sit here and wait for death."

Fan Zetian said angrily: "Fart! If others don't come to rescue us, don't we think we can save ourselves? I have observed before entering the mine. The left side of the mine is closest to the ground. If we dig from the left side, we will definitely survive. Opportunity."

When everyone heard this, they were overjoyed and picked up their shovels to dig on the left side of the well.

He Zhenfei sneered and said, "Don't blindly light the lamp, it's useless. If we dig like this, even if we don't die from exhaustion, we will starve to death."

Fan Zetian was startled, looked at him with a smile and said, "Thank you for reminding me." So he took a shovel and dug a deep hole one meter square on the ground. Due to the damp ground, the hole was half full of water in a short while.Then peel off the bark on the stake and soak it in water.

He said: "We drink water when we are thirsty, and eat bark when we are hungry. We will dig it out even if we are desperate. Yu Rongzong is a bastard who ignores human life. We must not let him go." The miner's lamp was turned off, leaving only two lamps on to save power.

Everyone nodded in agreement, all excited, as if the way out was in front of them, they all waved their shovels to dig up the soil.

Fan Zetian took out a watch with a calendar from his pocket, looked at it, and wrote down the current time.

On the first day, everyone worked so hard that they even forgot about their hunger. They dug more than ten meters to the left front of the mine in no time.

Drank a little water the next day and continued digging forward.

But on the third day, everyone couldn't hold on any longer. There was nothing else, but the hunger was so starving, the hands and feet were weak, and they had to pick up the bark soaked in water and chew it.The first time I tasted the bark, the taste was not pleasant, it was smelly and hard, and it was hard to swallow. Everyone didn't want to eat it.

Fan Zetian bit the bullet and ate a piece, suddenly felt his stomach churn, and with a "wow", he vomited.But he didn't even frown, and stuffed the vomited bark into his mouth again.

Seeing that he was eating so happily, everyone frowned and swallowed the bark in their mouths.

On the fourth day, we had already dug tens of meters forward, but there was still a thick layer of soil in front of everyone, and it seemed that we would never be able to dig to the edge and never see the sun.

In the past few days, everyone has not eaten or slept well. They are already extremely tired and depressed. Some people have begun to complain and curse.

Seeing this, Fan Zetian was very worried. Looking at his watch, he deduced that this should be the fourth night they were trapped underground.

He stopped the shovel in his hand and said, "Everyone is tired, stop and turn off the lights and get some sleep before we talk."

So everyone threw the shovel in their hands, lay down on the wet ground, and fell into a sweet dreamland.

Fan Zetian also lay down in the dark, with his head in his hands, worrying about his future.

He has already dug tens of meters, but he still hasn't reached the ground. Could it be that he miscalculated?Until now, he couldn't think of a better way, so he had to resign himself to fate.

Thinking about it, sleepiness welled up, and he gradually fell asleep.

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he vaguely felt that his ankle seemed to be pricked by a needle, which was hot, painful and numb.

He turned on the miner's lamp suspiciously and saw a snake the size of chopsticks swimming past his feet.

"There is a snake!" He was taken aback, picked up a shovel, and cut the little snake in half.

Everyone was also awakened. A miner looked at his feet and exclaimed, "Oh, no, Brother Fan, your feet were bitten by a snake!"

Fan Zetian looked down and saw that his right ankle was swollen like a fermented steamed bun, and it was indeed bitten by a snake.

After a while, his entire lower leg was swollen, his entire right leg was numb, and he lost feeling.

It seems that this is a very poisonous snake.

Fan Zetian's face was pale, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead.

"Don't move!" A middle-aged miner yelled, and suddenly fell on the ground, hugged his right leg, and sucked hard on the wound with his mouth.

After spitting out three or four mouthfuls of black and foul-smelling "poisonous blood", a trace of bright red blood emerged from Fan Zetian's wound.

The middle-aged miner tore off a piece of clothing to bandage his wound, rinsed his mouth with water, and smiled honestly at the miners who were worried about him: "Don't worry about me, my family's three-generation snake doctor, this poisonous snake I can't be bothered."

Seeing Fan Zetian's swollen ankle gradually shrinking, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Zetian also cast a grateful look at the middle-aged miner who risked his life to save him.

At this moment, someone suddenly heard shouting: "Don't make noise, listen quickly, what's that sound?"

Everyone was startled, and immediately quieted down. They listened carefully, and they heard a few tinkling sounds.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. There was no one knocking on anything in the mine. Where did the strange clanging sound come from?
At this time, the clanging sound rang again a few times, Fan Zetian's heart moved, and he said, "This sound seems to be coming from outside."

"Outside?!"

The miners were stunned for a moment, then understood immediately, cheered, and hurriedly picked up the shovel on the ground and dug out desperately—since they could hear the sound outside, the outside world would not be too far away.

Fan Zetian couldn't stop his excitement, he picked up the shovel and started digging furiously.

While digging, there was a sudden "boom", and the mud wall in front of them collapsed, revealing a black hole about one meter high.

"Dig through! Dig through!"

All the miners threw down their shovels and cheered.But Fan Zetian felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly went through the hole to have a look, but was shocked again.

It turned out that the outside was not the sky and the earth they had been praying for, but the same dark and oppressive mine. In the mine, there were many corpses of miners lying here and there. Hitting the shovel made a clanging sound.
