Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 52 Pretend and Interrogation

Sergeant Vince saw the person speaking, so he took two steps forward to ask.

"Are you the guard of this mine?"

The old man said tremblingly:
"Yeah, I'm Bob Freeman, you can call me Old Bob."

"My grandfather used to work here. After the ore was exhausted, the boss abandoned the place, and the workers followed suit. Only my grandfather had nowhere to go, so he stayed and lived."

"After my family passed away, I had no worries, so I inherited this hut from my grandfather and spent the rest of my life here. By the way, I also watched those mischievous children not run into these mines, or they would lose their way if they got lost. It's hard to get it back!"

As soon as these words were said, everyone couldn't help feeling a little bit of pity and admiration for the old man.

This should be a person with a story.

But for Xie Zihao who had read the original movie, he knew that this old man was not a good person.At the end of the movie, the survivor was knocked down by him with a shovel and dragged back to the mine.

Or maybe this guy is not human at all, but an accomplice of the monsters in the cave.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

While talking here, several police officers and forest rangers who had been scattered in the abandoned mine suddenly made a discovery.

Hearing the barking of the police dog, Vince and Bennett both looked over there. Xie Zihao, who had been paying attention to the old man, noticed a sudden change in his expression, but quickly covered it up.

None of this escaped Xie Zihao's eyes, but he didn't intend to expose the other party on the spot because he had no evidence yet.

And this old guy has been stationed here for many years, but no one has discovered the problem. Obviously, the other party's disguise is in place.

Xie Zihao invoked his spiritual power, and his eyes suddenly emitted a faint red light. Fortunately, everyone else was attracted by the barking of the police dog, and it was under the sun, so it was not obvious, and no one noticed.

Xie Zihao, who used the sharingan's spiritual vision ability, looked at the old man, then looked away before the other party noticed his observation, but frowned.

Because he didn't find any abnormalities in the old man, the only difference from the others was the color of the unique aura of life emanating from the other's body.

Other people's life aura is a mixed color of white, red and yellow, a bit like a thermal imager looking at the human body. The red light is in the inner layer, the yellow light is in the middle layer, and the white light is in the outer layer of the body surface.

Moreover, the better the physical fitness, the more vigorous the red light is, a bit like the kind of qi and blood in the novels of Chinese martial arts. Of course, these are ordinary people who can't compare with that kind of situation.

On the contrary, apart from the white aura that seems to be a disguise on the outer layer, the inner layer of this old man is rich black, and the middle layer has a gray halo, which proves that his guess is right. This guy is really not a good person as described in the movie. !

Xie Zihao calmly followed Vince and the others to the abandoned mine where the problem was discovered. At this time, two police officers stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

"Toby, Alan. What's going on?"

One of the officers, Allen, replied:
"Sir, what did Martha find, I have let her go to investigate the situation."

As Martha, the trainer of the police dog that entered the mine, he has great confidence in the dog's ability.

Vince also understood that the police dog Martha must have found some clues, so he nodded and waited here.

Sure enough, within 3 minutes, there was a cry, and the sound was getting closer, and soon the figure of the police dog Martha came out of the dark and deep mine.

At this time, Martha was stained with a lot of blood, and the police dog trainer Allen hurriedly stepped forward to check nervously, only to be relieved when he found that the police dog did not appear to be injured.

This shows that it is obviously not the blood of police dogs.

"Well done Martha!"

Lovingly patted the police dog's head as a reward, because there was no food reward at work, and I was going to make up for it when I went back.

Bennett leaned over to check it out, and then said to Vince:

"This should not be animal blood. It seems that Martha found the missing person. I hope the person is still alive!"

As the captain of the forest ranger, Bennett has dealt with wild animals all the year round. He is also an excellent hunter himself, so he has rich experience in this area.

Sheriff Vince also said with a serious face:
"It seems that we are going to go in and search. Let's ask the mine guard first. He should be the only person who is familiar with the situation inside."

At this time, the old man had already followed here, and Vince also asked:
"Old Bob, do you know what's going on in these mines?"

The old man shook his head when he heard the words:

"These mines have been abandoned for decades, and many places have collapsed and been flooded. When I was a child, I went in to play, and I was beaten for it, so no one knows what's going on inside. I don't think you should, police officers. It's better to go in."

Everyone frowned after hearing the old man's warning.

After all, saving people is important, but the situation here is unknown, and a collapse may occur at any time. I don't know if it's worth taking my own life to save people?

At this time, Xie Zihao suddenly broke the silence and said:
"If the picture I foresee is correct, this mine should be connected to the cave where the missing people entered, otherwise Martha would not have found the problem here. This makes people can't help but think that if the underground cave Those man-eating monsters in the movie are real, so why haven't they been discovered for so many years?"

"And there seem to be a lot of those monsters. The wild beasts in this mountain obviously can't satisfy them to get enough food, unless the number of people missing every year is more than that, which is more exaggerated than I imagined, or someone is silently paying for these monsters. Provide a source of food, don't you, old Bob!"

The old man's face changed when he heard this, then he shook his head innocently and said:

"Young gentleman, I don't understand what you're talking about! I'm old and my ears are failing..."

Leaving aside Vince's character, at least as a police detective from a big city hired by the town council, he is professionally reliable. When he saw this, he immediately became alert and realized that there was something wrong with the old man.

So he touched the gun handle at his waist with one hand, and said to his subordinates who were on guard:

"Toby, you call back and ask the guys who stayed behind, ask them to inquire about the situation of this old Bob in the town, and see if anyone knows!"

The police officer named Toby expressed his understanding, and immediately used his mobile phone to call the police station.

Although this place belongs to the mountainous area, it is not far from the direct line of the town, so the mobile phone still has a signal, and the call will be connected soon. Let me explain the situation here, and someone from the police station will call the townspeople immediately.

As a police officer who patrols the town every day, he is very familiar with every plant and tree in the town, and he knows the townspeople very well. He knows who to ask for information.

Seeing this scene, old man Bob became more and more irritable, but he still had an innocent look on his face.

After a while, there was a reply from the police station, and Vince signaled Toby to press the speakerphone so that everyone could hear the reply.

"Sir, everyone doesn't know much about old Bob. They only know that there is such a person who lives in the mountains. He is very withdrawn and never deals with people. He only occasionally buys some daily necessities in the town. Don't know him much. But Mark at the tavern says Richmond at the butcher's in town is a little bit annoyed with old Bob."

"I inquired with Richmond. It turned out that he once ran into old Bob who bought hundreds of pounds of livestock offal at the Harris slaughterhouse in the next county, but he didn't buy it from him. Obviously, the price is not bad after the freight is removed. of……"

After the policeman on the phone finished his report, everyone present looked at Old Bob with strange and guarded eyes.

All the police officers have drawn their pistols, ready to fight at any time.

Although the forest rangers did not have the law enforcement power to shoot the suspect, they all put their hands on the guns vigilantly.

Vince's eyes became dangerous, and he asked the old man word by word:
"Old Bob, since you live alone, why did you go to the slaughterhouse twenty miles away to order livestock offal? Is it used to feed some large beast?"

Old Bob bowed his head and looked down speechlessly, but his silent appearance made people feel chills in his heart.

　Second watch, there will be later
