"Dad, it's true, I saw it with my own eyes. They opened up the mound of earth over there and climbed down." Tiger said earnestly.
The team members became increasingly frightened as they listened; who would live here?
"Captain, if there really are people in here, this grave might be a cover-up, and those people are definitely suspicious."
Seeing that the captain and the others clearly didn't believe him, Bingzi quickly spoke up.
"Yes, yes, what kind of perfectly healthy person would live here?" The brigade leader looked at the grave and felt a chill.
"Captain, maybe they just don't want anyone to find out. There must be something else going on here. I saw them go in with my own eyes."
"Most people would be scared to see a grave and wouldn't dare to look at it for long. That's why they can stay here safely. I think they must be spies."
Tiger got anxious when he saw that the captain didn't believe him, so he quickly told him what Bingzi had suspected.
Although the captain found Tiger strange, he panicked when he heard the word "spy".
Many of the people present had witnessed those scenes in their childhood.
Let alone crawling out of the graveyard, there are even some hiding in the cesspool. After Hu Zi said that, everyone was even more worried.
"Tiger, are you sure you saw someone crawl out of here?" The captain was very unsure.
"Yes, the person is definitely inside." Tiger wasn't sure if the person was inside either, but he did see someone go in last night.
"Okay, I'll take a few men down there. You guys stay here and keep watch. If anything seems wrong, report it to the police immediately."
The captain thought for a moment and realized that if they went directly to the police and it turned out to be a false alarm, the higher-ups would definitely be angry.
No one can guarantee whether what Tiger said is true or not. It would be best if they verified the situation first before reporting it to the police for arrest.
"Captain, why don't we go? If we don't come back up, you can report it to the police. If you go down, who will go to the commune?"
The old Party Secretary looked at the brigade leader and spoke. It wasn't that he wasn't afraid; he was afraid that if something really happened, and the brigade leader wasn't there, none of them would be able to escape.
"No, I saw they had hunting rifles. I don't know if they have anything else."
Tiger was timid. Bingzi and the others told him to bring his men over, but they didn't tell him to go down.
Seeing that the captain and the others were scrambling to get down, he quickly spoke up to stop them.
"What?" The captain was startled. A hunting rifle?
"Tiger, this is no joke. Are you sure you saw it clearly? If the police report it and it turns out you were lying, do you know what the consequences will be?"
The captain was watching the man closely. If it weren't for the fact that they had watched Tiger grow up and knew what kind of person he was, they certainly wouldn't have asked him a single question.
This child has always been honest; he doesn't seem like someone who likes to lie.
"I really saw it." Tiger glanced furtively at Bingzi and the others, and finally nodded.
The captain glanced at the unremarkable grave; he had no idea when this abandoned grave had appeared in the mountains.
"You all wait here. I'm going to call the police right now. Stay away from me. If you notice anything suspicious, run!"
The captain decided to report it to the police first. This was not the time to show off. If he made a mistake, he would only get a scolding.
But if someone with real problems is hiding here, then their brigade will have done a great service.
Tiger isn't stupid. Even after he said that, he still insisted that he saw it. It can't be that there's something wrong with his eyes.
The brigade leader didn't want to miss any opportunity to earn merit, so he arranged for his team members to hurry to the commune.
After the brigade leader left, the old Party Secretary arranged for the team members to hide.
Wei Baichuan, who had been following behind and hiding in the shadows, guessed that the people in the mountains generally wouldn't come out during the day.
He saw that the captain had reported it to the police, and the matter was getting bigger and bigger, which was an unexpected bonus.
He originally thought the captain would find those people quickly and then discuss with the Leishan Brigade how to resolve the situation.
After all, this was an old matter, and he was worried that the two brigades might settle it privately for the sake of their reputations.
Even if he ultimately doesn't let them keep these things a secret, it will still cause a lot of trouble in the process. This way, it's done in one go.
The captain arrived with the police after nearly an hour.
Watching him carry his bicycle on his shoulder and rush along the mountain road, his hurried steps clearly showed that he was exhausted from the journey.
The captain and the police officers explained the situation along the way, saying that they had all doubts, but that the issue of them illegally possessing hunting rifles definitely needed to be investigated.
This could easily hurt someone if not handled properly. The police officers had seen it all and weren't afraid of any graves, so they climbed down directly.
The captain and some team members followed behind, and the police officers originally wanted to stop them.
But when they came down, they found that it was not a tomb at all. There was a cave below, and they didn't know where it led.
They thought it would be more convenient to have local team members guide them, so they let them come along.
Wei Baichuan also found an opportunity to follow at the very back, keeping a distance so that he wouldn't break away from the group or be noticed.
He feared they hadn't discovered anything; those people could hide in the mountains for so long, the place must be very secluded.
He wanted to coordinate with the soldiers if necessary to guide them to find the person.
Fortunately, the police officers were clearly experienced and, after entering the cave, they followed the water flow.
Although there were many small paths along the way, we eventually found the cave entrance successfully.
When the group opened the door that was half-closed at the cave entrance, they faced the people inside, staring at each other.
"Don't move." The police officer reacted first, rushing over to subdue the person.
Who would live here if they were an ordinary person? This is definitely not normal.
"We're not bad people, what do you want?" Wei Changgen's older brother was terrified and hurriedly begged for mercy.
The police officers ignored his orders and, after taking the man into custody, the remaining officers and some team members searched the house.
Soon, the people hiding inside were all caught, their faces filled with panic.
They never expected this place to be discovered; besides themselves, only Wei Changgen knew about this road.
Wei Changgen dug it himself, and the idea for the grave was also his.
Even if they were occasionally discovered by other groups or mountain people.
Seeing them crawl into the graveyard, people would only think they'd encountered a ghost and wouldn't dare to come looking for them.
They had lived peacefully here for so many years, and seeing so many people all of them were extremely flustered.
"Why does she look so familiar?" The old Party Secretary squinted as he looked at Wei Changgen's mother.
Upon hearing this, Wei Changgen's mother quickly lowered her head, not daring to meet their gaze, for fear of being discovered.
So many years have passed, and she has grown old. As long as she doesn't admit it, these people certainly won't know who she is.
But how should she reveal their identities? She hadn't discussed it with anyone else; they never imagined such a day would come.
Wei Changgen's mother was anxious and buried her head even deeper.
