life as a police officer in america

As soon as he retracted his hand, the phone rang. He answered the phone and it was Jones Medie.

"Head, big discovery! Come to the church quickly."

"A major discovery? What major discovery?"

"You'll know when you come!"

Wang Dengming ignored what Fengge Lilong had just told him. He hurriedly put on his police hat, left the police station, and drove to the church.

When he arrived, Father Mohan was already walking around at the door of the church, waiting uneasily.

"Jones Medie said she made a big discovery. Could it be that she caught a nest of weasels?"

"No, no, Sheriff, it's not a nest of weasels, it's a nest of dead bones."

"Dead Man's Bones?"

"Yes, it's very scary. God, forgive me. If it weren't for Jones Medi, I wouldn't have known there was a basement behind the church."

"basement?"

"Yes, Chief Wang, you come with me, Jones Medi, Garcia is waiting for you below."

"Okay, does anyone know about this?"

"I was afraid of causing unnecessary panic. I didn't tell the other pastors in the church. At present, only I, you, Jones Medi, and Garcia know."

"very good."

The church in the town is said to have been built a hundred years ago. It was expanded in the 1980s. The original old church was small in scale and made of wood. Over time, it became infested with termites and was left idle.

After the new church was built, the old church became the back garden and utility room of the new church.

Wang Dengming came to the backyard of the church.

This is the first time he has entered this yard. Under the shadow of more than a dozen big trees, the house here looks very simple, yet still has a modern charm. Many flowers are planted in the backyard, and a large number of decorative bonsais are placed.

, Father, and several other priests from the church live here.

The flowers have withered in this season, and the big trees in the yard have begun to shed their leaves, but the two evergreens still appear to be full of vitality.

Behind the two evergreen trees is the former site of the church, which is now used to store scriptures and other books.

After Wang Dengming entered, he found that there was a big hole at the innermost side of the house, close to the stone wall. The hole was surrounded by stone bricks and wooden boards. It could be seen that this place was originally full of wooden boards and stone bricks. I don’t know.

Whatever happened, it collapsed.

Wang Dengming looked down and saw that there were stone steps made of black stones!

The stone steps looked very deep, leading all the way to the ground. The cold wind was blowing, making people feel cold and panicked.

"this...."

"Jones Medi chased the weasel all the way here. When he saw a hole in the corner of the wall, he used an iron rod to knock it. Who knew, when he pried it off, it collapsed."

"Where are they?"

"Sergeant, they are down there, going in with flashlights."

"Do you still have a flashlight?"

"Yes, you come with me."

With the priest in front and Wang Dengming behind, they headed toward the basement until they could no longer go down. Wang Dengming counted one hundred and twenty stone steps, and the stone steps turned a corner in the middle.

The inside of the stone steps is made of blue and black stone bricks. The air here is cold, suffocating, smelly and humid.

After descending the stone steps and walking forward, Wang Dengming discovered that this was a natural stone cave. The highest point of the cave was about seven or eight meters, and the widest point was about fifteen meters.

The length of the cave is about one hundred meters.

At the end of the cave, he saw a bright light.

"Tou, is that you?"

Jones Medie's voice came over.

"Yes."

Wang Dengming walked over, and Jones, Medi, and Garcia were standing in a circular space with a flashlight shining on the ground.

Wang Dengming felt creepy just by looking at it. There were dead people's bones everywhere in this circular space.

Jones-Medi said: "I counted seventeen victims."

Garcia handed over a sword and said: "Sir, look, I found several swords, and this is one of them."

The long sword in his hand was severely corroded, and it was hard to tell what age it was. Jones Medie handed over an iron lump and said: "This is a gun, a musket from the cowboy era. We found twelve such muskets."

.”

Wang Dengming took the gun and found that all that was left of the gun was the outline of the gun.

"Boss, who are these people?"

Wang Dengming squatted down, inspected them for a while, and said: "These bones are almost rotten. They must have been there for a long, long time, but this musket can tell us the approximate time when the tragedy occurred.

Garcia said: "Sir, how do you explain these swords?"

"Well, it seems that this thing and the musket are not products of the same era. It is indeed a bit confusing. Put it away first."

"Boss, this is not important. Come and see."

Jones Medi led Wang Dengming to the right side of the circular space. He found that there was a heavy stone door here, about two meters long and wide. There were some weird symbols and images carved on the stone door. It has been a long time, and these above

Things are also being corroded by the humid air, so you can only see roughly.

"There are the most skeletons in front of the stone door. Are these people trying to open this door before they die?"

"I think so, but they didn't open the door and they all died here."

The priest said: "God, who imprisoned them here? It's terrible. Look at how helpless and lonely these people were at that time."

Wang Dengming squatted in front of the stone door and clawed hard at the crack in the stone. The stone door did not move at all. Garcia also stepped forward to help, but to no avail.

Wang Dengming gave up and said, "If we knew what was inside the stone gate, I think it would be of great help to our judgment."

The priest asked: "Then how can we open this stone door?"

Jones-Medi said: "When I watch your Chinese movies, whenever there is a scene like this, there should be a mechanism. Will there be arrows, knives, etc. like in the movie?"

Wang Dengming said: "It's hard to say. I'll ignore this stone gate for now and take a look. If you can find anything else, be careful."

As a result, they found some buttons, pocket watches, daggers and other gadgets in the pile of dead people. These things were all rotten and disfigured. It was obvious that they were all left over from the corpses. As for what these people had worn before they died.

All that was left of their clothes were wisps of mushy disgusting substance, and the only thing that could reveal their true form was the boots on their feet, which were made of leather.

After the three of them collected all the evidence they thought was valuable, they made sure there were no more clues before leaving the basement.

When they came out of the basement, Jones-Medy raised his head in the direction of the sun and said with half-closed eyes: "I finally discovered why the sun is so great!"

"Jones, we still have a lot of things to do, go find Kading Lei."

"Yes, boss."
