Chapter 171 If you have any problem, look for Cobra

"After breaking it open, it looks like the wall was built not long ago, but the passage inside seems to have existed for a long time." Wu Dachuan said as he poked his head into the hole in the wall.

After the entire cave entrance was smashed open, the smell became more pungent. Wu Dachuan picked up the dagger on the ground and handed it to Si Chen who had just entered. "Boss, this should be the murder weapon Zhang Qian used to kill people. I will have someone send it back to the police station to collect fingerprints and bloodstains."

Si Chen didn't answer, but nodded.

"The entrance to this cave is not very big and can only accommodate one person. It seems like it was specially made for some criminals to do something." Wu Dachuan rubbed his chin with his fingers.

"How's the landlord being contacted?"

"We've contacted them, but the owner is not in this city. He's on a business trip in another province. We'll have to wait until tomorrow morning for him to get here. However, when he heard there was a secret passage in his bathroom, he felt something was wrong."

"It doesn't seem to be related to the original owner. From the sound, it seems more like he was frightened. I left a message for the owner, asking them to contact us to pick him up after they arrived at the airport."

"What should we do now, Boss? Should we crawl over and take a look?"

Si Chen lowered his eyes and nodded.

"I still don't know where this secret passage leads to. Boss, let me go ahead." Wu Dachuan volunteered.

This secret passage is very narrow and only one person can crawl through it. If many people walk together, they can only crawl in a row. If they encounter any danger, it is easy for the people behind to fail to retreat in time.

Before Si Chen could speak, Lin Ting raised his hand weakly, "Actually, we can let Cobra take the lead."

Wu Dachuan nodded with sparkling eyes, "That's a good idea."

Lin Ting walked to the balcony and dragged the cobra back. "Do me a favor and I'll treat you to something delicious."

"It stinks, snakes won't help."

After saying this, Cobra turned around and was about to walk out of the bathroom.

Lin Ting reacted quickly and grabbed the cobra, blinking his eyes. "Whatever you want to eat, I can satisfy you."

'The snake wants to try some seafood.'

When I lived in the archipelago, I often saw people traveling and eating seafood on the beach. The fish in the sea looked delicious, but I was afraid of scaring the two-legged beasts, so I didn’t take the initiative to go forward.

Lin Ting thought it was a big request, and immediately made a high-five gesture with his palm and the cobra's tail.

"Guaranteed to eat enough."

Seafood is not a difficult task, and when she has free time she can bring the cobra back to her grandfather's house.

There is endless seafood at grandpa's house.

After discussing with the cobra, the cobra took the initiative to move towards the passage hidden in the wall.

'vomit'

"It smells terrible. I want to vomit."

"It seems the snake is at a disadvantage if they only want seafood. This is mentally tormenting the snake."

Not to mention the snakes, Si Chen, Wu Dachuan and others who followed closely behind were almost vomiting from the smell. They even suspected that the corpse was inside the wall, otherwise why would it smell so bad.

Lin Ting was afraid that they could not communicate with the cobra, so she followed them into the passage, but she was at the back so that she could escape quickly if there was any danger ahead.

The entrance they entered was guarded by police.

They climbed for some distance but still didn't reach the exit.

At the front, Wu Dachuan couldn't help but murmur, "How can this passage be so long? It looks like it was left there intentionally during construction. It doesn't look like something the owner could have done on their own."

"It's either left over from construction or renovations. It certainly doesn't look like something the homeowner could have done alone. Dachuan, go check on the engineers and construction workers responsible for the construction of this community, as well as the company that renovated the houses here."

"I'll send it to Tian Tian to check later."

Finally, after crawling in the dark for a while, the cobra stopped and knocked the wall in front of it with its tail.

"We're here."

'The snake's mission is accomplished.'

Even though he couldn't understand what the little animals were saying, Si Chen could still guess a thing based on their body language. He handed the flashlight to Wu Dachuan behind him, and then pushed the thing blocking the way. It looked like a piece of wood, but he couldn't move it no matter how hard he pushed.

Wu Dachuan reminded from behind, "Maybe the head is pushed or pulled."

Si Chen tried to move to the side, but the wooden board, which had been motionless, was pushed to the side. Faint light shone through the gap. After he pushed the board open completely, he raised his hand and touched it, and it was covered with clothes.

After I took the flashlight, I found that there was a wardrobe at the end of the passage.

He raised his hand and pushed open the wardrobe. The rotten smell they had smelled before became increasingly amplified, and the buzzing sound of flies in the quiet space became increasingly amplified.

Especially the buzzing of hundreds of flies, which makes people's scalp tingle.

There were even maggots wriggling around.

Si Chen raised the flashlight and shone it in the direction of the sound. He saw a dead body lying beside the bed in the bedroom. It was unknown how many days had passed since the death. The body was almost completely rotten, leaving only a skeleton with tattered clothes infested by maggots hanging on it.

A knife could also be seen stuck in the man's chest.

Because it's summer, the corpse is decaying extremely quickly and is now completely smelly.

The people who followed behind saw this scene as soon as they came out. The younger police officers even squatted aside and vomited.

The cobra coiled around Lin Ting's wrist. She had just crawled out of the closet and stood firm when a pair of hands suddenly blocked her view, blocking her vision. She could only see a pitch-black area.

The cobra thought it was in danger and was about to attack, but after seeing Si Chen's intention, it just hung on Lin Ting's wrist and did not move any further.

In addition to a pair of hands, a scented bead was sent to her nostrils, which emitted a faint scent of jasmine.

The scent of jasmine is very strong. Even if you put it to your nose, it can't block out the strong stench in the room. It's just slightly masked by the scent of jasmine, so the stench is not as strong as others smell.

Seeing this scene, Wu Dachuan couldn't help but smile.

Initially, they were still intimidated by the stench, but after seeing this scene, they couldn't help but look over and smile. Just as they were about to start making a noise, Wu Dachuan immediately kicked them and said, "Look, look, all you do is look, don't you know how to work? Hurry up and call the Forensic Department, and also call the Trace Examination Department to check the homeowner's identity information."

After saying this, Wu Dachuan continued to work as if no one was around.

"What's wrong?" After asking this question, Lin realized that the things here might involve some case privacy, and she, as a non-staff member of the case, could not see them.

Before Lin Tingxiao could figure it out, Si Chen quickly explained, "The victim's condition was a little scary and disgusting. I'm afraid you'll have a nightmare if you see it. I'll have them send you back to the police station first, and we'll handle this matter here."

Seeing a corpse full of maggots and flies, not to mention ordinary people, even these police officers would probably not be able to eat for a long time.
