The rain was getting heavier, and the artificially dug passage was in danger of collapsing at any time. Three of Pang Qingtian's four bodyguards had already gone up, and only the last one was still standing guard at the exit of the passage.

"If you don't come up, the passage will collapse." Seeing the emergency, the bodyguard turned his head and shouted one last time, then turned and got into the passage.

Lin Jinghao's mahogany sword was still hesitating on Gongsun Yao's neck. Nurse Zhang couldn't wait any longer. She called to Lin Jinghao: "Director Lin, the passage is about to collapse. I'm leaving first. Come up quickly."

!" After saying that, she turned around, grabbed the rope and climbed up.

Lin Jinghao was still hesitating. Gongsun Yao had completely given up resistance because he lost his left arm. Her head was drooped, her long hair was spread over her shoulders, and the expression on her face could not be seen at all.

"Do it quickly, or you will stay here with me forever, General Lin." Nurse Zhang had already climbed up the passage, and only Gongsun Yao's cold voice was left in the cave.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" I don't know why Lin Jinghao still can't take action.

"What do I have to be afraid of? The country is gone, the family is gone, and only us sisters of the Imperial Guard are left. We fought bloody battles to the end. There is nothing to regret." Gongsun Yao was ready to face death calmly.

.

"Director Lin, I'm leaving first. Hurry up, it's too late." Nurse Zhang called back and disappeared into the passage.

Lin Jinghao suddenly put away the peach wood sword in his hand, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Gongsun Yao, go to hell." Then he quickly rushed to the cave, grabbed the rope, and climbed up at once, leaving only kneeling behind.

In the water, Gongsun Yao stared blankly at him as he walked away.

As soon as he rushed out of the passage, Lin Jinghao heard the sound of soil falling from behind. He didn't have time to think too much, and quickly grabbed the hanging rope again and climbed to the ground.

Pei Feng was waiting for him anxiously on the ground. As soon as he saw Lin Jinghao coming up, he immediately went up to him with an umbrella.

"Okay, everyone is up, it's okay." Lin Jinghao said.

The rain was so heavy. In Lin Jinghao's memory, this was the heaviest rain since he came to this small town.

The heavy rain continued for two days and two nights. When the rain stopped, the construction site had turned into a vast ocean. When the water receded, the cave was still full of water. It can be seen that in the inner cave below,

The water accumulation still cannot be eliminated.

Pang Qingtian rested for two days and met up with Jushi Zhang again to return to the construction site. The water in the cave finally began to slowly subside. At the site, he met several people left by the expedition team, who were packing up their own things.

thing.

"Are you leaving?" Pang Qingtian asked.

"Yeah, we won't investigate anymore. Even if there are any ancient tombs, they won't be of much value if they are soaked in such a flood." Captain Fang glanced at Pang Qingtian, who was now a little discouraged.

Not only were there no surprising discoveries this time, but one team member also lost his life.

"It's okay to leave, go back well and help your deceased colleague handle the funeral arrangements." Pang Qingtian said, taking a stack of banknotes from the secretary behind him and stuffing it into Captain Fang's hand.

"On behalf of Wu Qiu's family, I would like to thank Director Pang." Captain Fang felt aggrieved because Wu Qiu's death was so tragic and resentful. He didn't even know that he wanted to

How to tell his parents.

Watching Captain Fang leading his team members away, Pang Qingtian turned around and glanced at Nurse Zhang again: "Nurse Zhang, are you sure that that female devil was killed by Director Lin?" After all, Nurse Zhang was before Lin Jinghao.

, the last person to come out, she was the only one who knew what happened at that time.

"Don't worry, Mr. Pang. Before I came out of the cave, I heard Director Lin shouting, 'Gongsun Yao, go to hell.' I guess it's not wrong." Nurse Zhang answered truthfully.

"Then you are..." From Nurse Zhang's description, Pang Qingtian could tell that Nurse Zhang did not witness Lin Jinghao kill Gongsun Yao.

"Dr. Pang, you are worrying too much. Even if Director Lin did not kill her at that time, even a god would not be able to survive after spending these few days in the cave." Zhang Jushi said with a smile.

This turn of events made him very satisfied, because Pang Qingtian finally agreed to let him join as a shareholder.

"You are right, but my child is really embarrassed this time. I'm afraid it won't be a while before he comes to the construction site to preside over it again." Pang Qingtian sighed.

Pang Lei was really scared this time. After staying in the hospital for three days, he was still unwilling to leave the hospital. He said he had to let the doctor check him again, but he always felt like a pair of bloody eyes were staring at him.

Hold him until he can't sleep well at night!

The doctor said that this was the sequelae left after being extremely frightened, and it would probably take some time for him to fully recover.

Lin Jinghao has been at work and off work these days. He has been thinking about a question. Why did Gongsun Yao say that she did not come to kill in the cave? If she did not come to kill, then who on earth played the female general and killed Wu Qiu?

What? Also, how reliable is Captain Fang’s on-site witness? Or is he lying?

After finding out the address of Wu Qiu's family, Lin Jinghao didn't know how to tell them Wu Qiu's last words...

Pang Yu did not find any other clues from Wu Qiu's body. Her conclusion was still that the head was decapitated. There is no doubt about this.

In the end, Wu Qiu's death was determined to be an accidental death during the inspection, and his funeral should be held tomorrow.

After Lin Jinghao thought about it again and again, he finally followed the address and came to Wu Qiu's home alone.

Wu Qiu's family is a very ordinary family, with a simple two bedrooms and one living room, located on the fifth floor of a building in an old community. There is a white elegiac couplet with black letters on the door. Lin Jinghao stepped over the brazier and walked into the house.

There were many people sitting in the room, among which a couple who were not too old cried the most sadly. The one who comforted them was a beautiful girl in a white dress.

As soon as they heard that it was Director Lin from the police station, the couple stopped crying. Their mother handed Lin Jinghao three sticks of incense. After Lin Jinghao finished offering the incense, she pulled Lin Jinghao aside: "Director Lin, last night in autumn,

Ertuomeng told me that a policeman will come to see me today and say that he has some things he wants you to bring to me, but I don’t know if it’s true?”

The mother's eyes were full of expectation: "Who is Wu Qiu's girlfriend?" Lin Jinghao patted the back of his mother's hand. He really wanted to bring Wu Qiu's words to them today.

"Xiaohong, come here." The mother called, it was the beautiful girl in the white dress.

girl.

The girl's face was full of sadness. She and Wu Qiu were classmates in college, and their relationship had always been good. They both believed that the other would be their lifelong partner.

"Where is Wu Qiu's desk?" Lin Jinghao asked after the girl came over.

"In his room." The mother's eyes were red, and she motioned for the girl and Lin Jinghao to follow her in.

Wu Qiu's room is not big. In addition to a bed, there is a desk against the wall. There is a row of books neatly placed on the desk. The first drawer of the desk has a heart-shaped lock.

It should be the drawer Wu Qiu mentioned.

"Do you have the key?" The room looked very tidy. Wu Qiu's parents should have tidied it up early in the morning, so that they could still feel like he was still alive in the world.

"I don't have one, do you? Xiaohong." The mother looked at the girl. It seemed that the girl should come to their house often.

"I have it," the girl found a small key from her bag and handed it to Lin Jinghao.

Lin Jinghao glanced at them: "Then I will tell you what Wu Qiu wants me to say to you now." Lin Jinghao opened the drawer.

There was a paper ICBC passbook placed in the drawer, and a beautiful small box was placed on top of the passbook. Lin Jinghao picked up the small box and opened it, and a beautiful diamond ring appeared shining brightly.

"This is the engagement ring Wu Qiu is going to give you. He said: If you like it, keep it as a souvenir. If you don't like it, just throw it away." As soon as Lin Jinghao finished speaking, the girl was about to burst into tears.

people.

"Can you put it on for me instead of him?" The girl cried for a while and stretched out her right hand. Her tears dripped from her face to the back of her hand, like another crystal ball.

diamond ring.

Lin Jinghao glanced at his mother, who nodded with tears in her eyes. Lin Jinghao took out the ring from the box and put it on the girl's middle finger.

Then, he took out the bankbook from the drawer and handed it into his mother's hands: "This is what Wu Qiu left for your parents. The password is 520088. He is a sensible child." After Lin Jinghao finished explaining, he vomited in his heart.

Changqi. It is true that young people today would be fine if they don’t cause trouble to their parents. Who would be so sensible to save money on their own?

"520088..." The mother shed tears and held the bankbook to her chest: "Does this number have any meaning? Director Lin."

"I think... it should be: I love you, Mom and Dad." Lin Jinghao didn't quite understand the meaning of numbers, but he guessed that it probably meant this, so he said softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, the mother and the girl cried even harder, and there seemed to be crying outside the door. When Lin Jinghao turned his head, it turned out that his father was also standing in the crack of the door, eavesdropping. This dignified seven-year-old boy

Chi Hanzi, this time I can no longer control the sadness in my heart.

After comforting Wu Qiu's parents and repeatedly telling them not to tell others about his visit, Lin Jinghao walked out of Wu Qiu's house.

The weather after the rain was unusually sultry. When he came downstairs, a heat wave hit him. Lin Jinghao couldn't help but raise his head and glance into the distance.
