I, the outlaw, was caught again

Chapter 20 Wang Chao; The 'wall' of the sewer!
Xu Sheng lost his balance.

Mr. Xu fell down.

A voice rang out.

"Grass!"

Xu Sheng didn't say anything, the voice came from under his butt.

He subconsciously turned his head and looked around.

"sewer?"

Xu Sheng was stunned. He looked at the dark and gloomy sewer pipes around him that stretched as far as the eye could see. He was completely stunned.

A stench, far worse than that of a cesspool, rushed into his nostrils. It was emitted by the nearly dried mud under his feet, which confirmed that he was
Fell into the sewer!

How big is the sewer?

Ordinary people might feel that it is like the plot of "The Shawshank Redemption", very narrow, and even cricket pupae are crowded.

But it's not.

In some of the city’s sewers, it’s common to see sewers two meters high!

And this one in front of me.
Three meters?

Xu Sheng raised his head and looked at the manhole cover that rotated half a circle and then closed, revealing only a ray of light.

It’s very high, at least three meters by visual estimation.

"Brother, have you sat enough?!"

A voice sounded from below. Xu Sheng was startled. He looked down and saw a pair of legs under his buttocks.

这 是
And the unlucky one! ?

Xu Sheng quickly stood up and said, "Sorry, sorry, I was wondering why it didn't hurt at all when I fell down. It turns out that..."

Looking at the man in front of him who was rubbing his butt, with makeup on his face and covered in mud, Xu Sheng was about to apologize.

But when he saw the other person's facial features, he was stunned and then narrowed his eyes.

"Why do I feel like we've met somewhere before?"

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and looked at the grinning man in front of him.

The man was wearing linen clothes and had makeup on his face. He fell into the mud once and again, and his body was now covered with smelly mud.

He was about to get mad, but when he looked up and saw the face of the person being illuminated by the only ray of light, he could see the facial features clearly.
The man's body trembled, and his eyes were visibly frightened.

He seemed to have seen this person before!

"No, no, brother, I really haven't seen you!" he said stiffly.

Xu Sheng grinned and looked the man up and down.

"I'll give you a hint."

"September 2, 00:16 in the morning, in front of the film and television base, deep in Taoyuan Road, in a small alley."

What time and place is this?

It's nothing, just a place to accept the 'Human-headed Dog' mission.

Does it have any special meaning?
Nothing.

However, his grandson, who was terrified, called and took him to the police station!

Not only the horror house, but also himself suffered considerable losses.

The fist is hard!

"Brother, you got the wrong person!"

The man was a little panicked. He was already unlucky enough to have fallen off a manhole cover, but now he was even more unlucky than to have met a 'murderer'!
Furthermore
Wasn’t the other party arrested by the police?!
Is it a jailbreak?!

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed, and the man was shaking a little.

What would a prison escapee do if he saw someone who was imprisoned because of him?
He didn't want to admit it yet, but when he saw the other person's eyes, he immediately knew that it was useless for him to deny it.

"Brother, I really didn't mean it!"

"Brother, I was wrong, please don't kill me."

Mr. Xu: ???
Xu Sheng's eye twitched, but he didn't care. The most urgent thing now was to return to the ground to accept the mission.

He looked around briefly, then focused his attention on the man again.

"How did you get down here?"

The man trembled and said, "I found a play where I can appear in the film. The director put makeup on me a day in advance and asked me to go to the crew tomorrow. Then I went home, and I fell off before I took a few steps."

"The well mouth should be sealed. The ladder is of poor quality and has rotted away. It is impossible to climb up."

After he finished speaking, Xu Sheng saw the crude, rusty, and easily broken "ladder".

If it was two meters, Xu Sheng could try to use leverage to jump up, but this thing was three meters high and there was no leverage point around.
"Give me a hand, and let me go up, and then I'll pull you up."

Looking at the man, Xu Sheng thought for a moment and spoke.

The man was a little frightened.

He was afraid that Xu Sheng would seal the cave entrance after going up, and he would never be able to get out.

He was even more afraid that if he didn't cooperate, the other party would kill him by stepping on his shoulders.

It is also possible that the other party will just leave and leave him alone here.

You know, there is no traffic light near the wellhead!

The people passing by were all driving or riding bicycles, so no one paid attention to him even if he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Brother, spare me"

He was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng decisively took out the criminal investigation consultant certificate given by Li Sheng from his pocket and handed it to the man.

The man stared at the document and then looked at Xu Sheng.

"Are you a policeman?"

Mr. Xu didn't want to explain and nodded.

The man heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "That's what I said, officer, you look so upright, how could you be a lawbreaker!?"

"Come on, step on my shoulders. We are a family, police and citizens. Let's work together to overcome the current difficulties!"

Xu Sheng's eyes twitched, "Your expression changes a little too quickly."

But having said that, his hands' movements were not slow.

He decisively stepped on the other person's shoulder and tried to push the manhole cover open.

But it's a pity.
"Brother, are you okay? I can't take it anymore!"

The man's face was red from holding back his anger. Every time Xu Sheng stepped on his shoulders, he stepped harder, causing his legs to tremble.

After a while, Xu frowned and stepped down from his shoulders, splashing mud. "The manhole cover is stuck. I guess when it fell, it pried three pieces of cement and it got stuck tightly."

its stuck?
The man was stunned, and then his face looked very ugly.

There was no one in this place who could hear their shouts, and his cell phone was out of battery.

How to get out of this?!
Xu Sheng wanted to call for help, but he suddenly remembered something.

How does the system describe the task?

[Chunhua Road along the river in Jiangsan City is a busy road with many pedestrians during the day. It is close to the railway station and other important transportation hubs. It is the economic focus of Jiangsan City and is extremely prosperous. However, hidden beneath it, there may be an incident that is enough to shock the whole country.]

Xu Sheng stared at a few of the words.

【Hidden Under.】

Judging from the first mission, the system has a certain ability to predict the future.

If, falling into the sewer was within expectations,
These four words have an explanation.

"Hidden beneath the ground? If that's the case, then that explains why I found nothing on the ground."

Xu Sheng looked at the bottomless black passage in front of him that seemed to swallow up everything.

After a little thought, he decided to search the sewer.

The ground was full of policemen, but there were few people searching underneath.

Having made up his mind, Xu Sheng began to search the sewer according to the direction on the ground in his memory.

"Da da da~"

Footsteps? No, there were no footsteps. This was Xu Sheng's own thought.

The ground under your feet is full of slowly flowing, sticky, disgusting, and foul-smelling mud. There is no crisp sound of footsteps, only the feeling of stepping on thick phlegm.

"Hey, officer, where are you going? Take me with you!"

When the man saw Xu Sheng leaving, he was startled and hurriedly followed him.

He doesn't want to be trapped here and starve to death!
"The manhole cover is sealed, find another passage."

Xu Sheng responded casually.

Hearing this, the man seemed to be relieved, then he grinned and said with a big smile:

"Officer, to be honest, from the first time I saw you, I felt your fearlessness in the face of danger!"

"If you hadn't come, I would have starved to death in this sewer."

"By the way, officer, what's it like inside a police station? Are the policewomen pretty?"

"Officer, I..."

He is a bit of a chatterbox, which is a typical subconscious way of using talking to dispel fear.

Xu Sheng ignored the other party's chatter and continued walking.

He turned a few corners and walked in the direction of the surge.

The mud under my feet was getting higher and higher, as if something was blocking the way ahead.

Xu Sheng narrowed his eyes and smelled a slight bad smell at the tip of his nose.

Following the direction and the breath, he quickened his pace.

"By the way, officer, my name is Wang Chao, what's your name!?"

Wang Chao looked around, shrank his neck, and asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Xu."

Xu Sheng replied, and suddenly he felt something under his feet, and he paused.

Then, he stopped silently and fished something out of the mud that had piled up to his calf height.

When he picked up the thing and determined what it was,
Xu Sheng looked up and saw clearly what was blocking the muddy road ahead.
He was silent.

"Mr. Xu? Officer Xu is a great name!"

"By the way, your house, officer, why did you stop?"

Wang Chao was still yelling there, not paying any attention to his feet.

He seemed to be tripped by something, and the next moment, his whole balance was lost and he fell forward.

"Snapped!"

Wang Chao did not fall. His palm made a crisp sound as he slapped someone.

In the palm of my hand, I felt a soft touch as if I was touching a sponge on my cheek.

"Thank you, Officer Xu."

Wang Chao was about to thank him, but he suddenly realized.
Mr. Xu seemed to be behind him.

In an instant, Wang Chao froze.

If he wasn't leaning on Xu Sheng now, then...
Wang Chao turned his head stiffly. He looked into his palm. His face was distorted. The giant had begun to rot and his cheeks were swollen.
He subconsciously squeezed it hard.

Suddenly, water stains appeared on the swollen face and flowed down through the fingers.

这 是
Corpse!

In an instant, Wang Chao froze, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole body stepped back stiffly.

immediately
"Snapped!"

He lay on the ground and turned to look at Xu Sheng. He seemed to have realized what had happened and understood Xu Sheng's lie.

Wang Chao's face was full of horror.

"Brother, don't kill me, don't kill me!"

"I really didn't mean to call the police. Please trust me and don't kill me."

Xu Sheng ignored Wang Chao's words. He stood up and looked at the scene in front of him.

He had thought that this case might be bigger than the human-headed dog case.

But did not expect
It will be so big!

A dead body will stop the flow of mud?
Unstoppable.

But
Xu Sheng was silent, looking at the "wall" in front of him, which was made up of more than ten corpses, intertwined and twisted.

More than a dozen swollen, open-mouthed, rotting faces with white eyeballs appeared on the "wall" and looked at Xu Sheng.

But, more than ten corpses can stop it!
Xu Sheng stood up and silently looked at what he had dug out from the mud.

This is a rotten heart.

"Report it to the police."
