Shen Ting recognized him at a glance as the man who had disappeared a few days ago.
Bear Baby!
The medical team carefully carried the seven unconscious missing persons out of the mine one by one.
The seven men had dust and scratches on their faces and bodies.
After examination, the doctor determined that the main symptoms were dehydration and weakness.
However, some people suffered more serious fractures, such as ribs and arms.
The six people other than Xiong Beibei all suffered severe blows to the back of their heads.
This is why they fell into a coma.
However, all six individuals had stable vital signs.
Especially Xiong Beibei, who only had a few scratches and was the healthiest.
The doctor determined that the patient would wake up after a short rest and replenishing his energy.
Shen Ting finally breathed a sigh of relief.
His gaze shifted from the survivors being carried away.
He then looked into the depths of the mine.
"Team Leader Lin, maintain perimeter security and expand the area, especially for signal monitoring."
Shen Ting gave brief instructions to Lin Guorui, the captain of the armed police.
"Captain Zheng, bring a few skilled forensic experts and trace evidence specialists with you, and come inside with me."
"Sister Xu, you come too. Observe and record carefully."
Without further ado, Shen Ting took a more powerful handheld searchlight and stepped into the abandoned alleyway that led deeper into the alley.
Zheng Yuanqiao then assigned three experienced criminal police officers and several technicians to follow him.
Xu Xinyi followed silently, carrying a portable evidence collection device and a law enforcement recorder.
...
The bright light tore through the years of darkness, illuminating the mine tunnel that had been abandoned for who knows how long.
The air was thick with a stale, musty smell of dust.
It also had an indescribable, rusty, fishy smell.
The gravel and cinders underfoot crunched underfoot, making a "rustling" sound that was amplified in the unusually quiet environment.
After walking only twenty meters or so, the flashlight beam swept across the rock wall, and some unusual marks began to appear.
"Team Leader Shen, look here!"
A sharp-eyed detective whispered.
The lights focused on the past.
On the rough rock face, there were several fresh, messy scratch marks.
It doesn't look like it was caused by natural erosion or tool digging.
It looks more like the result of a sharp object hitting or dragging it forcefully.
Beside the initial mark, there was also a patch of irregularly shaped, dark brown splatter marks—
Those were dried bloodstains.
"There were bloodstains, both splattered and dripping."
The forensic doctor crouched down and used his personal equipment for a preliminary examination:
"Very fresh, no more than 48 hours ago."
A violent conflict took place here.
Shen Ting nodded, indicating that they should continue.
The further you go in, the more shocking traces you see.
The ground was trampled into a mess, with messy footprints everywhere. Next to some footprints were larger, more obvious pools of dark blood, and even some congealed blood clots could be seen.
In addition to scraping, there were also deep marks from sharp tools cutting into the rock face.
And some circular dents, as if they were formed by a blunt object striking them violently.
"This place...this place is like a battlefield."
Another detective's voice tightened as his flashlight beam trembled as it swept across a particularly chaotic area.
Scattered there were broken wooden bows and arrows, longswords stuck in the cave walls, and long knives with chipped edges and bent bodies...
