Beauty Comprehensive 1999

Chapter 52 Disguise and Questioning

When Sheriff Vince saw the person talking, he took two steps forward to ask.

"Are you the caretaker of this mine?"

The old man said tremblingly:

"Yeah, I'm Bob Freeman, you can call me Old Bob."

"My grandfather once worked here. After the ore was exhausted, the boss abandoned the place and all the workers followed. My grandfather was alone and had no place to go, so he stayed to live."

"After my family members died and I had no worries, I inherited this hut from my grandfather and spent the rest of my life here. I also watched the naughty children not to run into these mines, otherwise they would get lost in them.

It’s hard to get it back!”

As soon as he said this, everyone could not help but feel a bit of pity and admiration for the old man.

This should be a person with a story.

But for Xie Zihao, who has read the original movie, he knows that this old man is not a good person. At the end of the movie, the survivor was knocked down by him with a shovel and dragged back to the mine.

Or maybe this guy is not a human at all, but an accomplice of the monsters in the cave.

"Woof woof woof!"

While they were talking here, several police officers and forest rangers who were already searching the abandoned mine suddenly made a discovery.

Hearing the barking of the police dog, Vince and Bennett looked over there. Xie Zihao, who had been paying attention to the old man, noticed that the other man's expression suddenly changed, but he quickly covered it up.

None of this escaped Xie Zihao's eyes, but he had no intention of exposing the other party on the spot because he had no evidence yet.

And this old guy has been stationed here for many years, and no one has noticed the problem. It is obvious that the other party is well disguised.

Xie Zihao invoked his spiritual power, and his eyes suddenly emitted a faint red light. Fortunately, everyone else was attracted by the barking of the police dog, and it was under the sun, so it was not obvious and no one noticed it.

Xie Zihao, who used his Sharingan spiritual vision ability, looked at the old man, then looked away before the other man noticed his observation, but he frowned.

Because he didn't find anything abnormal in the old man. The only thing that was different from the others was that the color of the aura unique to life emitted from his body was different.

Other people's life auras are a mixture of white, red and yellow. It's a bit like a thermal imager looking at the human body. The red light is in the inner layer, the yellow light is in the middle layer, and the white light is in the outer layer of the body surface.

Moreover, people with better physical fitness will have a stronger red light, a bit like the kind of qi and blood mentioned in guoshu novels. Of course, these are ordinary people and cannot be compared to that kind of situation.

On the contrary, in addition to the outer layer that seems to be a disguised white aura, the inner layer of the old man's body is rich black, and the middle layer also has a gray halo. This proves that his guess is good. This guy is indeed not a good person as told in the movie.

!

Xie Zihao followed Vince and the others calmly to the abandoned mine where the problem was discovered. At this time, two police officers stood at the entrance of the cave and looked inside.

"Toby, Alan. What's going on?"

One of the officers, Allen, replied:

"Sir, Martha discovered something. I have let her go to explore the situation."

As the trainer of Martha, the police dog that entered the mine, he was very confident in his dog's abilities.

Vince also understood that the police dog Martha must have found some clues, so he nodded and waited here.

Sure enough, less than three minutes later, a scream sounded, the sound got closer and closer, and soon the figure of the police dog Martha emerged from the dark and deep mine.

At this time, Martha's body was stained with a lot of blood. The police dog trainer Allen quickly stepped forward to check nervously, but he was relieved when he found that the police dog did not appear to be injured.

This shows that it is obviously not the blood of a police dog.

"Well done Martha!"

I patted the police dog's head lovingly as a reward. Because I was at work, I didn't give food rewards, so I planned to make up for it when I went back.

Bennett came over to check it out, and then said to Vince:

"This shouldn't be animal blood. It seems that Martha has found the missing person. I hope the person is still alive!"

As a ranger captain, Bennett has been dealing with wild animals all year round. He is also an excellent hunter, so he has rich experience in this area.

Sheriff Vince also said with a serious face:

"It seems that we are going to go in and search. Let's ask the mine guard first. He should be the only person familiar with the situation here."

At this time, the old man had also arrived here, and Vince also asked:

"Old Bob, do you know what's going on in these mines?"

The old man couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this:

"These mines have been abandoned for decades, and many places have collapsed and flooded. I used to play in them when I was a child, and I was beaten for it, so no one knows what is going on inside. I don't think you, police officer, should do it.

It’s better to go in.”

After hearing the old man's warning, everyone couldn't help but frown.

After all, although saving people is important, the situation here is unknown and a collapse may occur at any time. Is it worth risking your own life to save people?

At this time, Xie Zihao suddenly broke the silence and said:

"If the picture I foresaw is correct, this mine should be connected to the cave where the missing people entered, otherwise Martha would not have discovered the problem here. This makes people can't help but think that if the underground cave

Those man-eating monsters in the movie are real, so why haven’t they been discovered for so many years?”

"And there seem to be a lot of monsters. The beasts in the mountains obviously can't get enough food for them. Unless the number of people missing every year is more than this, which is more exaggerated than I imagined, otherwise there are people who are silently working for these monsters.

Providing a food source, you say? Old Bob!"

The old man's expression changed after hearing this, and then he shook his head and waved his hands innocently and said:

"Young gentleman, I don't understand what you are talking about! I am old and my ears are no longer good..."

Let's not talk about Vince's personality. At least as a big city police detective hired by the town council, he is professionally reliable. He immediately became alert when he saw this, and realized that there was something wrong with this old man.

So he touched the handle of the gun at his waist with one hand and said to his subordinates while keeping alert:

"Toby, call back and ask the guys who are left behind to ask them about old Bob in the town and see if anyone knows!"

The police officer named Toby expressed his understanding and immediately called the police station on his mobile phone.

Although this place is in a mountainous area, it is actually not far from the town, so the mobile phone still has signal. The call was quickly connected. The situation was explained here, and someone from the police station immediately started calling the townspeople to inquire.

As a police officer who patrols the town every day, he is very familiar with every plant and tree in the town. He also knows the townspeople very well and knows which people to ask for information.

Watching this scene, Old Bob became increasingly irritable, but his face still looked innocent.

Not long after, there was a reply from the police station, and Vince motioned Toby to press the speakerphone so that everyone could hear the reply.

"Sir, everyone doesn't know much about old Bob. We only know that there is such a person living in the mountains. He is very withdrawn and never interacts with others. He only occasionally buys some daily necessities in the town. The younger generation

I don’t know him very well, but Mark from the tavern said that Richmond from the butcher shop in town was a little dissatisfied with old Bob.”

"I asked Richmond about it, and it turned out that he once bumped into Old Bob and bought hundreds of pounds of livestock offal from the Harris Slaughterhouse in the next county, but he didn't buy it from him. The price was not much different after removing the freight.

of……"

After the police officer on the phone finished his report, everyone present looked at Old Bob with strange and wary eyes.

All police officers had their pistols drawn, ready to fight at any time.

Although the rangers did not have the law enforcement authority to shoot the suspects, they all put their hands on their guns vigilantly.

Vince's eyes became dangerous, and he asked the old man word by word:

"Old Bob, since you live alone, why would you go to a slaughterhouse twenty miles away to order livestock offal? Are they used to feed some large beasts?"

Old Bob lowered his head and was speechless, but his silent look made people feel a little chilly.

Second update, there will be more later
