Life as a police officer in America

Chapter 149 Pile of Skeletons

Just as he withdrew his hand, the phone rang.He answered the phone, and it was Jones Meddy.

"Head, great discovery! Hurry to the church."

"A major discovery? What major discovery?"

"You will know when you come!"

Wang Dengming didn't care about what Fengge Lilong told him just now, and hurriedly drove to the church.

When he arrived, Father Moham was already walking up and down at the door of the church, waiting anxiously.

"Jones Meddy says she's made a big discovery, won't it be a colony of weasels?"

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

"Dead bones?"

"Yes, it's scary. God, forgive me. If it weren't for Jones Meddy, I wouldn't know there is a basement behind the church."

"basement?"

"Yes, Sergeant Wang, follow 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 of the church. At present, I, you, Jones Medi, and Garcia know."

"very good."

The church in the town is said to have been built a hundred years ago, and it was expanded in the 80s. The old church was small in size and made of wood. It was left unused by termites over time.

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.

It was the first time for him to enter this yard. Under the cover of more than a dozen big trees, the house here looks very simple, but still has a modern charm. A lot of flowers are planted in the backyard, and a large number of decorative bonsai are placed , the priest, and the other two priests in the church live here.

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

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

After Wang Dengming went in, he found a big hole in the innermost side of the house, close to the stone wall. The hole was surrounded by stone bricks and boards. It could be seen that this place was originally made of wood boards and stone bricks. Things collapsed.

When Wang Dengming looked down, there were stone steps made of black stones!

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

"This"

"Jones Meddy chased the weasel all the way here. When he saw a hole in the corner of the wall, he knocked it with an iron rod. Who knew it would collapse when he pried it."

"What about them?"

"Sheriff, they're down there, they went in with flashlights."

"Is there a flashlight?"

"Yes, you come with me."

The priest went to the basement with Wang Dengming in front and behind. Wang Dengming counted 120 stone steps, and the stone steps turned a corner halfway.

The inside of the stone steps are all inlaid with blue and black stone bricks. The air here is cold, suffocating, smelly and humid.

After descending the stone steps and walking forward, Wang Dengming found that this is a natural stone cave. The highest point of the cave is about seven or eight meters, and the widest point is about 15 meters.

The length of the cave is about one hundred meters.

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

"Head, is that you?"

Jones Meddy's voice came over.

"Yes."

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

Just looking at it like that, Wang Dengming felt his hair stand on end. In this circular space, there are dead bones everywhere.

Jones Medie said: "I counted, there are seventeen victims."

Garcia handed over a sword and said, "Look, sir, I found several swords, and this is one of them."

The long sword in his hand has been severely corroded, and it is impossible to tell what age it is. Jones Meddy 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 musket and found that the gun had decayed so much that only the outline of the gun remained.

"Head, who are these people?"

Wang Dengming squatted down, checked for a while, and said: "These bones are about to rot, it must have been a long, long time, but this musket can tell us the approximate time when the tragedy happened.

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

"Well, it seems that this thing is not a product of the same era as the musket. It is really puzzling, so put it away first."

"Boss, none of this is important, come and see."

Jones Meddy led Wang Dengming to the right side of the circular space, and he found that there was a heavy stone gate, about two meters long and wide, with some strange symbols and images engraved on the stone gate.It has been a long time, and the above things have been corroded by the humid air, so we can only see the general idea.

"There are the most skeletons in front of the stone gate. Heads, do these people want to open this gate 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 the posture of these people, how helpless and lonely they were at that time."

Wang Dengming squatted in front of the stone gate, pawing hard at the crack in the stone, but the stone gate remained motionless. Garcia also stepped forward to help, but it was of no avail.

Wang Dengming gave up and said, "If we know what's inside the stone gate, I think it will be of great help to our judgment."

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

Jones Medie said: "When I watch your Chinese movies, there should be traps whenever such a scene occurs. Will it shoot arrows, knives, etc. like in movies? Sometimes it will be poisonous, and there will be poisonous gas."

Wang Dengming said: "It's hard to say. Ignore this stone gate for now, and see what else I can find. Be careful."

As a result, they found some buttons, pocket watches, daggers and other things among the dead people.

These things are all rotten, obviously they are all left over from the corpses. As for the clothes these people wore before they died, there are only strands of mushy disgusting things left, and the original shape can be seen. The boots on their feet were made of leather.

After the three of them collected all the valuable evidence they could collect, they left the basement after confirming that there were no more clues.

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

"Jones, we still have a lot to do, go and find Cardinley."

"Yes, boss."
