Women only affect the speed of my reasoning!

But Qin Xianshu was unmoved and continued to dive.

Eight meters...nine meters...ten meters...

He suddenly stopped ten meters away.

It wasn't because he hit bottom, nor because he had a heart attack, but because he felt his toes hit something hard while paddling.

Fortunately, there was water as resistance, so it wasn't that painful. In daily life, it would be a severe pain that would make you hold your little toes and moan for more than half a minute.

Qin Xianshu looked back in confusion. It was pitch black behind him and he couldn't see anything.

So he looked at it with a flashlight.

If you follow the usual routine in horror movies, this time will definitely be accompanied by a terrifying sound effect, and then a big ghost face will pop out to scare the audience.

However, this is not a horror movie, so... what appeared in Qin Xianshu's field of vision turned out to be a huge anchor.

This anchor was probably dismantled from a certain ship. It was dug crookedly into the dirty river mud. The entire anchor body was stained with rust, and the lower part was still entangled with a large number of water plants. It had obviously been left here for a long time. Quite a few years.

Two diving ropes were tied to rings at the top of the anchor, extending straight out in different directions. The poor visibility made it seem like they had no end.

In other words, is it very possible that there are two corpses hidden at the bottom of the lake?

Qin Xianshu thought for a while, then moved closer to take a closer look, and soon discovered the clues.

Although the material of the two diving ropes is the same, it is obvious that one of them was tied recently, and the other one is not only lighter in color, but also has some mud on it like the anchor.

Without even thinking about it, Qin Xianshu decisively gave up on "archaeology" and turned around to swim along the newer-looking diving rope.

Fortunately, the terrain at the bottom of the lake was generally relatively flat, and perhaps because the criminal gang was lazy, Qin Ushu found the other end of the diving rope within a short period of swimming.

It was probably less than seven or eight meters away from where the anchor was located. The other end of the diving rope went straight into the bottom of the lake, and on top of it, there were a bunch of heavy objects such as old freezers and broken bathtubs, and a A hand that was swollen and pale stretched out from it.

It seems that this is the corpse.

but--

Qin Xianshu knew after a little visual inspection that it was impossible to get the body ashore by himself.

There was too much weight on it for him to lift alone, and he also had to bring a knife that could cut the diving rope.

Thinking of this, Qin Xian stretched his legs and kicked up, and his whole body immediately floated up.

At the same time, on the shore of the lake, Hayama Hayato suddenly found that the rope in his hand not only no longer felt a steady pull, but also relaxed a little.

"what?"

Just when they were surprised, the sound of water sounded, and a head jumped out from under the water, startling everyone by the lake.

"it's me."

Qin Ushu climbed up from the water, exhaled a breath of turbid air to calm down his breathing, shook his head and said with water droplets falling continuously.

"What, what's going on, did you find anything?" Hayama Hayato asked quickly.

"That's right." Qin Sanshu didn't bother to beat around the bush, "I found the place where the body was buried, but there were some things piled on it that I definitely couldn't get out by myself, and the body was also tied up with a diving rope. So now I need a helper, preferably one with a little stronger mental endurance."

"..."

"..."

"..."

As soon as these words came out, it was like JJ Lin was talking loudly, and everyone was silent for a moment.

Qin Xianshu could basically expect such a situation. After all, reading detective novels and doing detective work in person are two different things.

No matter how suspenseful and terrifying the plot in the novel is, the corpse will not jump out from the screen and invite people...although corpses in reality will not bite people.

But when reading detective novels, you can watch the protagonist in the article pretending to be a god, making a well-founded analysis in front of the corpse, and revealing the true colors of the criminal.

But in reality, those who dare to face the corpse are only a minority among the minority.

What's more, it was a drowned corpse that had been soaked for ten and a half months and was pale and swollen.

In the end, Hayama Hayato raised his hand.

"I'll go."

"No! It's too dangerous!"

As soon as he spoke, he was immediately opposed by Miura Yuko.

"Don't worry, it's not dangerous. At most, it will test your personal swimming skills to a certain extent."

Qin Sanshu raised a finger to explain.

"The depth of the dive is about seven meters. The only thing the people who come down need to do is to help me lift the heavy objects... Oh, and also help to turn on the flashlight. If you are afraid of having nightmares at night, you can also light up your eyes. Close your eyes, I will pat you after I dig out the body, count three seconds in your mind, and then you can open your eyes."

"I understand." Hayama Hayato nodded, and he patted the girl's shoulder comfortingly, "It's no problem, I'm just helping you."

"Then Hayato, you must be careful."

Miura Yuko was almost in tears, feeling as sad as a young wife sending her husband off to the battlefield.

"Don't worry, I will do it." Hayama Hayato said seriously.

On the other side, Qin Xianshu had already taken out a survival knife from his backpack, played with it twice casually, then held it, and waved it at everyone.

"gone."

Chapter 79 There is a surprise when the coffin is opened

"Come on, Hayama, take this."

Passing the flashlight to Hayama Hayato's hand, Qin Shanshu used a survival knife in one hand and a plastic bag in the other, and walked through the dense aquatic plants on the shore of the lake with ease.

As the saying goes, what makes you familiar is what you learn once. The first time he went into the water, he had to compare the photos on his phone for a long time. But the second time, he was just an experienced driver and there was no need for unnecessary comparison.

Returning to the water from where he landed before, Qin Xianshu swam forward without looking back.

"I couldn't speak underwater for a while, so everything depends on my gestures. And as I said just now, you only need to be responsible for lighting and helping me. There is no technical work. You can even close your eyes and wait for me to remove the body. When it comes out, I will pat you and count three seconds in your mind before you can open your eyes."

Qin Xianshu looked back at him.

"is that OK?"

"I understand."

Hayama Hayato pursed his lips tightly, looking obviously nervous.

But this is also impossible.

Under the cover of night, two male high school students pushed aside the black waves and slowly swam to a position just above and west of the center of the Sinking Corpse Lake.

"Just go down from here."

Qin Xianshu said as he vigorously moved the plastic bag up and down several times, so that the originally flat and wrinkled bag was filled with fresh air, and then he grabbed it from the mouth of the bag and made a suggested balloon.

Hayama Hayato also had the same plastic bag in his hand.

The two looked at each other and nodded slightly.

"Three~two~one~start the group!"

Qin Shanshu shouted strange slogans. When the word "Tuan" fell, he took a big breath and plunged into the water.

Hayama Hayato followed closely behind.

At the same time, two thick and twisted cone-shaped bubble groups rushed into the water.

Hayama Hayato turned on the waterproof flashlight in his hand as soon as he entered the water. He originally wanted to illuminate the way for Qin Ushu, but he found out embarrassingly that the light transmittance of the lake did not support him at all. At best, it could only allow him to do so by himself. He could clearly see Qin Ushu swimming in front of him.

Fortunately, Qin Xianshu had already written down the location where the body was buried.

The two of them dived to a depth of about six or seven meters one after the other. Under the guidance of Qin Ushu, Hayama Hayato finally saw the corpse hiding place that the former mentioned before.

A rusty and old freezer pressed against the broken abandoned bathtub, and an antique-looking outdoor air conditioner was piled beside it. The body was completely covered by a thick layer of broken bricks and stones underneath.

The only thing exposed was a pale, swollen, dead hand with a slightly flocculent surface.

"!"

The moment Hayama Hayato saw him for the first time, he almost screamed. Fortunately, he reacted in time and realized that he was still underwater. If he had screamed, it would not only be as simple as choking on the water, but he would also be unable to survive the immersion. Know how many corpses are in the water.

It is the reason that is forced to overcome the fear originating from instinct.

Qin Shanshu didn't take it seriously. He swam over and cut off the diving rope with a survival knife and grabbed it in his hand. Then he held the edge of the abandoned bathtub with one hand and pulled himself closer, and raised his head at Hayama Hayato, whose face was twitching. chin, motioning for him to come over and help.

Hayama Hayato nodded.

The previous strong fear caused his heartbeat to accelerate instantly, which led to a large amount of oxygen consumption in the body, so that he had to take out the "emergency oxygen bag" he carried with him and put it in to catch his breath, and then swam to Qin Umbrella to relax. beside.

'Get rid of this broken refrigerator first. '

Qin Xianshu indicated with his eyes and gestures.

'coming. '

Hayama Hayato suppressed his inner discomfort and responded with gestures.

Under normal circumstances, it would undoubtedly be difficult for two people to move an entire large freezer.

After all, the freezer itself is heavy enough, and its shape is not very suitable for transportation.

But don't forget, this is in the water. Under the buoyancy of the water, it will be easier to move the same weight than in the air.

And the most important thing is that they did not come here to be porters, and there is no such thing as handling them lightly.

You don’t even need to lift it, just push it to the side.

The dull, hoarse sound resounded in the cold, dark water. The difference in the communication medium made it sound particularly strange, almost like the whisper of the Kraken, the siren.

With the joint efforts of the two high school students, the heavy objects were pushed aside one by one. However, after a while, only the last old-fashioned outdoor air conditioner unit was left on the pile of tiles.

Knock, knock...

In the small area of ​​dim light under the water, Qin Ushu tapped the swimming goggles on his face twice with Hayama Hayato's fingers.

The excavation work is almost coming to an end, and his action means that I am going to open the coffin.

Hayama Hayato understood immediately. He put his head into the plastic bag for the last time to take a breath, then closed his eyes tightly and remained motionless.

It's just an outdoor air conditioner. Even without Ye Shan's help, Qin Sanshu can handle it by himself.

In the water, he leaned down awkwardly, holding the base of the outdoor air conditioner that had been soaked in the water for an unknown amount of time, but still not even a single water plant was wrapped around it. He used his waist to lift the seemingly heavy iron The block was lifted up from the ground, rolled over at [-] times speed, and then fell to the side, stirring up layers of river mud.

At the same time, there was a loose sound from the pile of bricks and tiles covering the body.

It's not a scam.

As we all know, after the human body decays, a large amount of decaying gases will accumulate in the body, which is equivalent to blowing the person into a big balloon.

The exaggerated range of changes can even turn a thin person into a fat person, thus changing the density of the human body from originally about the same density as water to less dense than water.

This is why a person who cannot swim will sink and drown after falling into the water, while the body of a person who also cannot swim will float on the water.

Qin Shanshu pulled the diving rope that he had cut off before, and when he reached the surface of the pile of bricks and tiles, a large bulge appeared. A fat and swollen corpse broke through the layers of restrictions and floated under the pile of bricks and tiles.

And because putrefactive gas is usually accumulated in the chest and abdomen, when floating, the upper body rises first, and then drags the lower body to float.

That look is really similar to that of a fake corpse.

However, the good news was that because of Ye Shan's delicate position, when the body floated up, the swollen and cold fingers inevitably scratched his left shoulder.

It’s not too heavy, but in an environment like this underwater, no one can take photos with the same strength as when it’s on the shore.

Therefore, this contact was naturally understood by Hayama Hayato, who was in a highly tense state of mind, as Qin Ushu photographing him.

Oops~ It’s rough...

Qin Xianshu also realized this. He twitched the corner of his mouth and wanted to reach out to block it, but his movements were slow underwater.

In addition, Hayama Hayato was in a tense mood, so he could only count less than two seconds from the original three seconds.

So when he opened his eyes, what he saw face to face at close range was a terrifying face with angry eyes, everted lips, fat head and big ears, and a hideous face.

"Uhhhhh!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!"

Chapter 80 Perform a counter-summon to my brother’s summoner

On the shore of the lake, Yukinoshita Yukino and others were still waiting quietly.

Miura Yuiko stretched her neck, looking forward to it like a cat that wanted to go into the water but didn't dare to go into the water. She was almost suffocating herself into a watchful stone.
