You're Guilty: Conspiracy Scene 2 crime escalation

Chapter 41 The Flower of Evil (1)
This is a paradise for flies, mosquitoes and maggots.The dense white bones and the brown flesh attached to the white bones gave off a stench under the scorching sun, which was incompatible with the tranquility, depth and serenity of Cangmang Mountain.

Su Caixuan stood by the side of the pit, her eyes glanced at the bones. Based on her visual inspection and experience, she concluded that the pit was full of human bones. This was true, and there were no new bones. The old skeleton above.There is only a trace of brown flesh remaining on one vertebra, which seems to be about a week old—could it be the remains of Zheng Danmei?

Thinking that Zheng Danmei might have been skinned and cut off, and her bones eaten, Su Caixuan felt goosebumps all over her body. In broad daylight, surrounded by everyone, she felt a ghostly aura around her, and a chill ran down her back.

Fortunately, it seemed to the naked eye that there were no fresh bones in the pit within 24 hours, so Su Caixuan breathed a sigh of relief—maybe Qian Jingyue is still alive?

Su Caixuan's attention was focused on the bones in the pit, but Li Guanlan had been paying close attention to the movement around her, like a cheetah full of energy and muscular, ready to make an unstoppable blow at any time.At this time, there was a slight rustling sound in the bushes a few meters away from the big pit, like a breeze blowing through the jungle, or like a field mouse looking for food among the branches.Li Guanlan's eyes did not turn to the direction of the sound, but in an instant, he turned around suddenly, raised his hand, and there was a short and clear gunshot, which shocked everyone who was not mentally prepared.

There was a dull sound from behind the jungle, as if something heavy had fallen to the ground.Two special police officers in protective suits reacted quickly and were agile. As soon as the gunshots fell, they rushed to the back of the jungle. The black muzzle of their guns was aimed at a body lying on the ground.The body was only covered with a few strips of cloth, the skin was covered with layers of scales, the head was huge, accounting for about one-third of the body, the facial features were distorted, the limbs were short and thick, and there was only one pair of hands and feet. The fingers and toes are completely unrecognizable as human hands and feet.

The two special policemen gasped, and said to Li Guanlan who came over, "Captain Li, good marksmanship, did you kill him?"

With a smile on his face, Li Guanlan blew on the hot muzzle of the gun, and said: "This is an anesthesia bomb. I borrowed it from the zoo temporarily. For this operation, only your special police guns are filled with real bullets. All criminal police All of them are tranquilizer guns."

Several special police officers and medical staff also surrounded him, tied up the hands and feet of the leprosy patient who had fallen on the ground, and carried them onto a stretcher.Before going up the mountain, Li Guanlan expected that he might encounter fierce resistance from the leprosy patients, and he would not be able to walk down the mountain with them smoothly, so he ordered the medical staff to bring twenty simple stretchers.

Although one leper was caught, he still had more than a dozen companions. Where did they live?Finding more than a dozen people on the vast and lush Cangmang Mountain is not an easy task. Apart from courage and observation skills, it may require some good luck.

Fortunately, the burial site has been found, and a leprosy patient was found nearby. It can be confirmed that the hiding places of other leprosy patients will not be too far from here.Even so, the police officers in the jungle lost their direction for a while, not knowing where to search next.

Li Guanlan acted straightforwardly and decisively. After observing the surrounding terrain, he immediately made a decision and issued an order: "The most urgent task is to find the target's shelter. The time is urgent, we must search separately, and all police officers are divided into four groups. Standing at the center of the circle, start a carpet search in four directions, east, west, north, south, and move quickly, but don’t miss any clues. Once you find something, immediately send a signal to other groups for help, and don’t act rashly. gun."

The four leading criminal policemen agreed loudly and led the crowd to act separately.

Li Guanlan, Su Caixuan and more than forty people pushed aside the dense branches and thorns, and walked forward with difficulty.Their group chose to go south, because judging from the video taken by Jian Chun, when Xu Tianhua and his party met the target on a narrow road, the group of lepers gathered from the south, and that was probably the direction of their hiding place.Therefore, the group of people led by Li Guanlan are all elite soldiers and strong generals, hoping to make achievements.

But it is not easy to find a group of leprosy patients on the vast and deep Cangmang Mountain. The police officers overcame the thorns and moved slowly. At the same time, they also took care of the medical staff to prevent them from falling behind or causing accidents.According to the relevant information held by the Department of Agriculture, Forestry and Geology, no large beasts such as ligers and tigers have been found on Cangmang Mountain so far, but there are many records about carnivorous beasts such as jackals and wild boars, and there are also many kinds of poisonous flowers, poisonous weeds, poisonous insects, and poisonous snakes. Countless.So all the way through, there are many difficulties and dangers.

Seeing that six hours have passed, and at four o'clock in the afternoon, the whole group has been rushing and searching non-stop except for a short rest and some dry food.At this time, the world under the mountain is brightly lit, and there are many pedestrians and vehicles in the ten feet of soft red, but on the Cangmang Mountain a few miles away, the sun is covered by lush branches and leaves, and it has turned gray.

The group of people got nothing, and their moods became troubled and anxious.There was no news from other groups either, and apparently they were also searching for it in vain.Li Guanlan's face was calm, but his heart was extremely anxious. For every minute of delay in finding the target, the possibility of Qian Jingyue surviving decreased by one point.Moreover, this mountaineering involved more than 1 people from criminal police, special police to medical rescuers, coordinating nearly ten departments, and spending more than 100 yuan. Rescue operations will increase the difficulty several times.

Su Caixuan has worked with Li Guanlan for many years and is familiar with his thoughts. Seeing this, she comforted him and said: "This time I acted in a hurry, if I can't find it, I have to forget it. Next time I search the mountains, I can consider bringing more than a dozen police dogs. will help."

Li Guanlan said: "Before I went up the mountain this time, I also had the idea of ​​bringing police dogs, but I thought that the target is quite special. The leprosy virus can live in humans and animals at the same time, so..." Li Guanlan's eyes lit up before he finished speaking, and he stopped in his tracks. , squatted down, and carefully looked at a clump of plants on the ground.

Su Caixuan followed his gaze and saw that the clump of plants on the ground was light yellow, delicate and smooth like silk, but also tangled and tangled, complex and dense like a spider's web.

Su Caixuan didn't know much about botany, so she asked uncertainly, "This seems to be Cuscuta, right?"

Li Guanlan said: "Cuscuta is its scientific name, and the people in Quzhou call it Rootless Grass."

Seeing Li Guanlan's focused expression, Su Caixuan realized that there must be something special about this plant called "Rootless Grass". There is a cave!"

Li Guanlan agreed with Su Caixuan's words: "Exactly, Cuscuta is one of the rare plant species that can grow without photosynthesis. We walked all the way and did not see Cuscuta on the ground, but found it here Its shadow shows that the topography here is very special. This small dodder probably spread here from a dark place, and this dark place is not far from here. If my calculation is correct, it should be There are caves within ten meters."

Ten meters!Everyone who heard Li Guanlan's words was startled, wrapped their hands tightly around their clothes, and looked around nervously.

Li Guanlan's eyes fell on a piece of vegetation five or six meters away. The color of that small piece of vegetation was obviously slightly darker than that of other vegetation. Along the edge of the vegetation, there were two rows of moss, dark brown in color, extending vertically.And on the surface of the vegetation, a few dark yellow dodders are messily entwined.

Li Guanlan didn't make a sound, and signaled the others to keep silent with gestures, and all of them half-volted and half-squatted, and moved towards the vegetation.Li Guanlan signaled a special police officer walking in the front to use a micro-pistol barrel to push away the vegetation. Sure enough, there was a deep cave behind the dark hole.Su Caixuan had sharp eyesight and quick hands, picked up a tattered strip of cloth about one centimeter long and unidentifiable color from the vegetation, and handed it to Li Guanlan.

So far, it is basically certain that even if this is not the lair where the murderers gather, there are at least leprosy patients coming and going.

Looking in from the outside, the cave was dark. How many people were inside, whether Qian Jingyue and Zheng Danmei were in it, and whether there were other risks hidden, are all unknown.If you rush in rashly, it will be very dangerous.

Before setting off to go up the mountain, Li Guanlan had conceived a variety of plans, fully predicting the shelter of leprosy patients and the risks faced by the rescue team.He knew that although these lepers took hostages, murdered and ate corpses, they were so cruel and terrifying that they lived in seclusion in the mountains, and most of them would not hold dangerous offensive weapons. Compared with other criminals with extraordinary IQ and physical fitness, leprosy Patients also have limited attack capabilities.What they have to worry about is the personal safety of Qian Jingyue and Zheng Danmei, whose lives and deaths are uncertain, and the risk of the police officers being infected with Mycobacterium leprae.

The sky is getting darker, and the fighter plane cannot be delayed. Li Guanlan glanced at the tight protective clothing worn by the police officers, and made up his mind to say: "Rush in, the criminal police are in the front, the special police are protecting, and the medical personnel stay at the end. The principle of action is to rescue the missing. The population is the first, and the murderer is second. Once in danger, an anesthesia gun is fired to stun the opponent. In the worst case and when it is necessary, the special police can shoot the murderer to death, so as to minimize the number of casualties."

Feng Xinran and the captain of the SWAT team answered in a low voice but firmly: "Understood."

As soon as the words fell, dozens of selected police officers rushed into the dark cave like vigorous leopards in an instant, hurriedly but not messy, followed closely behind and in an orderly manner, except for the rustling of clothes rubbing, The sound of footsteps was barely audible.

After advancing three or four meters, a detour suddenly appeared in the cave. Turning around, it suddenly became clear that there was another world in the cave.This place is bottomless and extremely wide. Although the light is still dim, you can barely see things face to face. It's not as dark as when you first entered the cave, but you don't know where the light came from.The inside of the cave is much cooler than the outside, and the air is not dull.There is a small stream in the middle of the cave, and the water is gurgling, washing the moss and dodder on both sides.The walls of the entire cave are very hard, and they are huge rocks that have been tens of thousands of years old.

After walking two more steps forward, the ground suddenly sank under his feet. It turns out that this cave goes deep into the center of the earth.Li Guanlan, who was walking in the front, walked in a hurry, but very lightly. After walking forward for more than ten meters, he suddenly found a huge deep pit under his feet. There were green flames dancing in the pit. Through the light of the fire, the flames could be seen shaking around. silhouette.Li Guanlan stopped immediately, gestured to the back to keep silent, and paid attention to the movement in front.

Looking carefully, seventeen lepers were sitting or standing around the flames.Li Guanlan calculated the force of the two sides, two against one, and all of them are elite soldiers, well-equipped weapons, possessing an absolute advantage, and he felt much more at ease.

Outside the circle of the lepers lay a man lying on the ground, wriggling constantly, as if struggling helplessly.Is it Qian Jingyue?A gleam of joy flashed across Li Guanlan's heart. If Qian Jingyue could be rescued, the mission of this trip would be completed quite satisfactorily.But looking closer, the man didn't seem to be bound, but was thrown on the ground casually.In this case, he didn't seem to have any signs of running away or planning to run away, but was limp on the ground. There was only one possibility, that he was seriously injured.

The group of lepers seemed unaware of Li Guanlan and his party's approaching quietly. They were slow to react to the dangers of the outside world, and their self-protection awareness was not strong-this further strengthened Li Guanlan's confidence.The only disadvantage of the current arrest operation is that the road leading to the bottom of the pit is too narrow, allowing only one person to pass through. If the police officers file down, no matter how fast they move, there will inevitably be first and second, which will inevitably lead to arrest targets confusion, adding variables.Li Guanlan signaled to the captain of the special police, and the special police team rushed to the front, using the method of cable descent, and more than [-] special policemen appeared in front of the target at the same time, and quickly subdued the opponent.

The so-called rappelling is a landing method that slides to the ground through a soft rope.This method of action seems simple, but it takes a long time of special training to master. Even among the special police, not everyone has the ability to perform rope drop.At a height of tens of meters, the left hand holds the rope to control the direction and speed, the right hand holds the weapon, the wind whistles in the ears, and the rock wall flies past in front of the eyes. Bafang is a great challenge to physical and psychological quality.

This time I went to the Cangmang Mountain to perform a mission, and the treacherous terrain was a huge challenge. When Li Guanlan applied for the assistance of the special police, he specifically asked for a rope drop, which really came in handy.
