Chapter 873 Something Odd
Qin Yuan was completely stunned when he saw this scene. What's going on? Is it a sudden illness? But it is impossible for the old couple to die suddenly at the same time. And it's only been a long time since they just returned.
When the dragon heard the movement, he turned his head to look at Qin Yuan, but saw that his eyes were red, and he looked too sad. Qin Yuan hurried forward, "Brother, sorry, I'm late."
"It's okay, Brother Qin, as long as you come."
Dalong looked around and obviously he had a lot to say, but there were too many relatives around him, so it was hard to speak. Until the second half of the night, all the relatives left, and there were only three of them left in the empty yard.
Qin Yuan squatted down and burned a few pieces of paper for Dalong's parents. When he came before, Dalong's parents were in good health. Why did they get apart when they meet again?
"Dalong, what's going on? When you wrote to me before, I was training outside, so I didn't receive it in time."
"Brother Qin, you don't need to say so much. I can understand. I know that as long as you understand my situation, you will definitely come."
Dalong's sister half-kneeled beside her and couldn't speak anymore. Her voice was crying hoarsely, and Dalong was also talking. He said that he had not given a reasonable statement yet.
It turned out that a week ago, he suddenly received a call from the village saying that something happened at his house and asked him to come back quickly, but the specific matter was not stated clearly. In this case, it would be difficult for Dalong to take leave at all.
The call was called by the local village chief, and hesitated and told him repeatedly that his sister was going to get married and asked him to come back to discuss the major issues of marriage.
When Dalong heard this, he thought it was too sudden. He had never heard of his sister getting married before. Moreover, his sister had always had problems with her feet because of the illness before. She had never found any good matches for so many years, so why did she suddenly say that she wanted to get married?
In addition, on the other hand, this kind of thing is simply impossible to take leave. In the army, unless there is a special situation, it cannot be avoided. On the one hand, it is a serious disability or a serious illness. You can take leave. In addition, your parents die and your relatives are close to you.
So this reason is not valid at all. Dalong can't go back at all, but the village chief opposite was very anxious. Dalong said that marriage was impossible. It was probably because his parents wanted to trick him into going back to a blind date.
Dalong didn't care about it later. Unexpectedly, he received a call from the village two days later. It turned out to be news that something happened to his parents. He didn't care about so much and quickly asked for leave to go back. Along the way, he was still wondering if his parents said this on purpose and asked him to go back.
Otherwise, if they were all fine before, why would something happen suddenly? However, when he went back, he saw two coffins parked in the yard, and his head buzzed.
His sister fell into a coma and was still under observation at the hospital in their town. According to the local doctor, she was just frightened, so she fell into a coma and was not seriously injured.
He quickly asked the village chief what was going on. The village chief could only say that his parents found an old mine cave in the back mountain, which were all left over decades ago and had long been abandoned.
Dalong's father had discovered the mine when he went there to herd sheep. He accidentally picked up a few pieces of ore from it and sold it to the local boss. After making some money later, he was not satisfied with the previous few pieces.
Finally, I took Dalong's mother to the mine to dig privately. This situation was not allowed, but everyone was from the same village and turned a blind eye.
But unexpectedly, when Dalong's sister went to deliver the meal that day, she found that something was wrong, because it was very quiet inside. Usually, when Dalong's sister went to deliver the meal, her parents would wait at the entrance of the mine, and then the family of three would solve the problem of eating on the spot.
But there was nothing that day. Dalong's sister could only walk in and check it out, and found that the mine had collapsed. His sister dug up on the ground with bare hands at that time, but a girl did not have so much power. Although she used the most strength, she did not pull out a few stones. In the end, she had no choice but to run into the village and shout.
When everyone went to the mine to dig out the old couple's mouth, the person had long lost his breath. When Dalong's sister heard the news, she fainted on the spot until Dalong came back.
Speaking of this, Dalong wiped his tears, "Brother Qin, I know your family is not from the countryside, so you can't understand, but they are really for our sake. They always want to share the burden for me, so they want to earn money to build a house for me and get married."
Qin Yuan felt very sad when he heard this. He didn't expect that the yin and yang would be separated in this short time, but he always felt that things were a little strange.
Why did this happen like this? Besides, I haven't heard of the old couple going to the mountain to mine before. He looked at the sister of Dalong next to him and asked slowly: "Sister Ayu, I just wanted to ask if you found something wrong when you went in, whether there were other people's footprints on the ground, or whether there were any special situations."
When Dalong heard Qin Yuan’s question, he couldn’t help but become curious. Is there really something hidden in this?
"Brother Qin, but according to what the village chief and my sister said, there should be no problem. The mine was indeed abandoned many years ago."
"Dalong, although I know that I should not guess others at will, but think about what human heart is. If people from the same village knew that your parents went to pick this ore and made money, would they not be jealous? Why is it that only your parents went there?"
You should know that people are not that simple nowadays. When they see other people making money, they not only don’t go, but also help to hide it together. This is something wrong.
At this time, Ayu nodded excitedly from the side. Although her voice was hoarse, she still reluctantly told the story. It turned out that her parents discovered that this mine was the latest happening.
In addition, no one knows about mining in the mine cave. After all, no one goes to that place at all, only the village chief knows, including the boss selling ore, which was also introduced by the village chief.
Hearing this, it seems that the suspicion of this problem is getting worse and worse. Why did the village chief help them for no reason? This is a bit too far-fetched. It is impossible to help these villagers just because he is the village chief. He has never seen such a situation before.
"Sister Ayu, can you be sure that no one else knows which mine you are going to?"
"I'm very sure, because every time my parents dare to go up the mountain to secretly mine until midnight, and then give it to the village chief at night. It's absolutely impossible for others to discover it. This matter is extremely secret."
The reason why I went out to mining in broad daylight that day was because the village chief urged me to ask the ore boss to be very anxious now and asked them to make more as soon as possible. In this way, the old couple became energetic in an instant. After all, if they did it at night, it would be really not very effective, so it would be better to take some time during the day and go there quickly.
In this way, they went to the mine during the day, and Ayu next to him covered her head in pain. She really couldn't remember because the scene was very chaotic at that time, and she was very scared and didn't notice any special place next to her.
When Dalong heard Qin Yuan’s analysis, he felt something was wrong. According to what he said, it is very likely that his parents were killed by others.
"I'll go to the village chief now! I'm going to ask him for a clear question. What's going on? Now that my parents are dead, do you still have to bear this kind of infamous reputation for stealing?"
Qin Yuan shook his head and pressed him down. It was not the time to act irritating. The main problem now is to find out the real cause of his parents' death. If that is the case, it would be serious.
He planned to go to the mine in person to see if he could find other clues. He originally wanted to keep Dalong at home, but Dalong couldn't care about so much now. He just wanted to find out the real cause of his parents as soon as possible.
In this way, the two set out toward the mountain in the dark and trained in the army for so many years. There was no problem with hiking and climbing at night like this. In order to avoid alarming the enemy, the two did not bring any flashlights.
He set out towards the mountain with the moonlight, and the big dragon of the mine also knew that when he was a child, he had been to a mine at first and didn't know it was a mine at all, because it looked like an abandoned cave from the outside.
After walking for about an hour, the two of them arrived near the mine. So many days have passed. Qin Yuan didn't know if he could find other clues, so they walked in in a dark way.
After entering the cave, the two of them turned on the flashlight. It was indeed very chaotic inside, and there were many footprints on the ground. They were all villagers who came to help dig, so they couldn't find anything for the time being.
There were many stones scattered beside him, and the sides were messy. When Dalong saw this scene, his eyes turned red. When he thought that his parents were killed in this place, he felt even more painful.
At this time, Qin Yuan noticed an unusual smell in the air, "Did you smell a faint smell of gunpowder? Although it has been so long, I am too familiar with this smell."
Qin Yuan's sense of smell was several times more developed than that of ordinary people. The dragon shook his head, but he didn't smell anything. Qin Yuan jumped onto the pile of rocks. Because there were stones blocking it, the situation inside was not clear. It was very narrow inside. Qin Yuan planned to go in and take a look.
"Brother Qin, I don't think there is any need to take this risk. Wait first. I'll ask a few people to come and help together tomorrow. What if the mine cave collapses again?"
Dalong was not afraid, but he didn't want to involve Qin Yuan. If even Qin Yuan had something wrong in this place, he didn't know what to do.
Unexpectedly, Qin Yuan stood up and kicked hard at the stone wall on the side. His strength was so strong that he didn't expect that the stones on the opposite side would just roll down a few pieces, and there was no big noise.
"See it. Although this mine has been around for a while, it still has a very strong appearance. How could such a solid stone wall collapse if it is dug casually?"
The dragon stretched out his hand and touched it. It was covered with stones. It was indeed difficult for this structure to collapse. In a blink of an eye, Qin Yuan had never crawled into the pile of water and stones. His figure was very flexible, so he asked the dragon to wait for him outside.
Qin Yuan jumped in and found that there was no other change except the pile of stones outside. It was completely intact inside. You should know that although this is an abandoned mine, the biggest doubt is how to dig the ore by shaking the periphery. There is no need to go down.
At first, he thought the old couple was buried below, but he didn't expect that they were just in the place where they came in. This was obviously a passage. How could there be ore in this place? There are too many doubts about it.
After entering, he checked carefully and soon found a small piece of fragment next to him. He was so familiar with these fragments. Although he had been in contact with military bombs for a long time, some homemade bombs from the people could not escape such fragments.
This is what they often call earth bombs. They are not very threatening, but as long as the amount is large enough, it will be very powerful.
The method of making this kind of earth bomb is very simple. After collecting several basic chemical materials, they can be made by mixing them in different proportions.
However, the disadvantage of this kind of earth bomb is that after the proportion is not controlled well, the smell of gunpowder in the air will be very strong and cannot be dissipated for a few days. This is why Qin Yuan still smelled the smell of gunpowder after so long after he came to this place.
Soon Qin Yuan crawled out of it and threw the fragment to the dragon. "Look, this matter is indeed not simple. First, it is impossible to produce ore if it is randomly excavated in such a passage. Secondly, it is impossible to collapse without external blasting in this place."
Dalong was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that his parents' death was framed by others. He stretched out his hand and followed the fragment tremblingly.
He immediately suspected that the village chief was because everything seemed to be around him, from his parents' ore mining to how to trade later, and even for what this guy said, he came out in advance during the day, as if it was all related to him.
"Brother Qin, this person is unfilial. After I came, I really didn't care about that much. I thought my parents really died while peeking, so I agreed with the village chief and did not call the police."
"Don't say that, get up first. This matter cannot be solved by you alone, and there must be a reason why the village chief suddenly targets your family."
