Mystery makes me strong

Chapter 2605 If it can happen, it will definitely happen
In the dark underground cave, everyone held torches.

There was a whistling sound of wind in my ears.

This made everyone feel extremely reassured.

When you are in a place like this, the most frightening thing is the lack of wind.

If that happens, it won't be long before the person suffocates.

This cave is indeed interconnected, and many people must have dug out ventilation holes.

According to Wen Rensheng's observation, the cave is about thirty meters away from the ground.

This distance is neither high nor low.

In fact, if used properly, it can serve as a free subway passage in Beijing.

Wen Rensheng noticed that several cave passages were straight and had obviously been deliberately repaired.

The crowd continued walking for a while, looking for the corpse.

Then they finally made a discovery.

This time I saw an execution scene.

A row of people had their hands tied, facing the wall, and their heads chopped off.

Those people were obviously ordinary people, with messy clothes, from all walks of life, waiters, chefs, fortune tellers, scholars...

With such a complicated identity, it is unlikely that the criminal is someone who deserves his punishment.

"Ah!" The detectives screamed in fear.

Although they had witnessed many murderous scenes, this kind of massacre, coupled with the surrounding atmosphere, still made them terrified.

Wen Rensheng frowned slightly when he saw this.

Whenever he saw humans killing each other, although he was no longer moved, he still felt unhappy.

After all, many people do this not for any benefit, but simply out of wild beastly behavior.

"Damn it, this underground is really a devil's den!" said Liu Tuiguan angrily.

"Master, let's go back. There are too few of us and we might get ambushed." said a captain of the police.

"That's right, go back immediately." After Liu Tuiguan finished scolding, his body was very honest.

After all, this is not acting or a TV series, and the main characters will not die before the end of filming.

When Liu Tuiguan looked at the dark branch caves around him, he realized that if someone was ambushing here, he and his group would be dead.

Looking at their arrogance, he felt a rare sense of panic.

The group quickly turned back.

The squeaking sound of mice could be heard all around, shuttling back and forth in this underground cave.

All kinds of unpleasant smells and the humid air make this place full of an atmosphere of fear.

Who can live in a place like this?
There are only homeless people left.

At least this kind of place can shelter from wind and rain.

Of course, if you live in such a damp, dirty and smelly place for a long time, you won’t be able to survive more than ten years.

Unless you go out to bask in the sun every day.

Liu Tui Guan and his companions had a relatively smooth journey and were not ambushed. After walking for half an hour, they finally returned to the ground.

After seeing the sunlight, everyone felt like they had survived a disaster.

"That place is too scary. I don't want to go there a second time." A constable couldn't help but say.

Even though this was something that his superiors would not agree with, he still had to say it.

Whoever wants to go can go.

Death could happen at any time.

It can be said that even if thousands of people went down, they might be ambushed and killed.

In a narrow passage like that, having more people is useless.

On the contrary, it is easier to be killed by a sneak attack.

A fire and a bucket of lard can take care of all these people.

Ventilation will only make the fire bigger and the smoke more abundant, turning it into a chimney.

That place is too big of an advantage for those who have home advantage.

"The only way to deal with that kind of place is to bring in water from the canal to irrigate it."

"It's useless. Someone did this before and later discovered that the cave is connected to an underground river." Someone else shook his head.

Sure enough.

Otherwise, with years of rain, the cave would have turned into a ditch long ago.

Liu Tuiguan was also at a loss for the moment.

It's too dangerous to go down and explore.

With just these few people, nothing can be found out.

Unless hundreds of thousands of people are used to dig at the same time, the cave will be completely exposed.

Then the search starts partition by partition.

This is obviously impossible.

The amount of silver spent alone is incalculable.

Not to mention, the courtyards of many wealthy families are located above the caves.

If we dig it, we don't know how much resistance we will encounter.

Thinking of this, Liu Tuiguan suddenly remembered that when several wealthy families were raided and executed, only one or two people from the side branches were killed, and the main branch actually escaped.

Now it seems that there must be a direct passage to the secret cave.

As a result, those high-ranking families would be even less willing to tolerate anyone destroying their power.

Although it has hidden dangers, the benefits are greater.

Now that I think about it, those few high-ranking officials and dignitaries who were victimized will probably only suffer for half a year before disappearing from the scene.

No wonder when the capital was established, many officials and noble families did not choose to refuse when they heard that there were caves here.

It seems that they also understand that the real danger is not whether the house will collapse, but the emperor and the court.

With this cave, they can escape in time when they are in the most dangerous situation.

The emperor happened to think so too.

Afterwards, Wen Rensheng returned to his temporary home. He drank tea leisurely and stayed awake.

But then an idea struck him.

The ancients often drank and wrote hundreds of poems. What was that like?
Wen Rensheng has always based himself on maintaining a clear mind.

Because he knew very well that when faced with many strange things, reason and clarity were the only things that intelligent life forms could rely on.

And today, the underground cave he faced was nothing to him.

However, he had noticed that Liu Tuiguan and his colleagues had fallen into the paralysis brought on by alcohol.

"It's too scary. I want to drink some wine. I won't be afraid when I'm drunk." said a constable.

The constable was drinking sorghum wine, a strong liquor.

Probably over 52 degrees.

In a normal feudal society, this kind of wine is difficult to brew, because grain is precious and it is good enough to have wine. Distilling more is actually a waste.

So people automatically struck a balance between paralyzing themselves and increasing food production.

It’s not that ancient people didn’t want to make strong liquor, it was actually a forced balance.

If there is enough food and enough for people to waste at will, there will naturally be a large enough market for people to like strong liquor.

This world just fulfills that need.

The constable was drinking a lot of alcohol, numbing his brain stem and cerebellum, causing his brain to fall into a coma and desensitize himself to fear.

We have to say, why has alcohol become a social habit that is impossible to quit across the East and the West?
It certainly has a significant effect.

This important role is spiritual.

As for the social attributes, that is another matter.

Eliminating fear is one of them.

In ancient times, before going to the battlefield, soldiers would drink three bowls of wine. Of course, it was not 52-degree alcohol, otherwise their walking would be unstable.

At most it's 8% beer type.

3 bowls are just enough to paralyze the fear and make people rush forward to fight passionately for three minutes.

Wen Rensheng saw the constable drinking like this.

And at the same time.

He saw the difference again.

Another constable was also a little drunk, but he was practicing martial arts desperately.

"I want to work hard, I want to struggle, I don't want to be looked down upon."

"I have to seize every minute and every second, so that I won't regret it anymore!"

The constable was in his 30s, which, according to the ancients, meant he had already lived more than half his life.

Many ancient people thought that their 30s were the end of their lives, so they made many wrong decisions.

The constable was practicing martial arts desperately. He was definitely not so diligent before. Under the stimulation of alcohol and fear, he forgot about fatigue, laziness, and all the reasons for being lazy, and worked hard.

This made Wen Rensheng realize: "This is real life."

“Real life will be stimulated by real matter and produce real reactions.”

"Alcohol is a constant in human civilization. It is a bad substance that causes many diseases, but it can never be completely eliminated by humans."

"Because it is of some use after all, and the harm is relatively limited. It will not occur immediately, but will manifest itself in the long term, ten or twenty years from now, and may even manifest itself on future generations, not on oneself."

"This kind of product can stimulate people's true nature, can make people take off all kinds of laziness and numbness, and make them face their true nature, so it is banned repeatedly but still continues to exist."

"Even the so-called most advanced forces cannot prohibit its existence."

The constable was practicing his swordsmanship until he couldn't hold on any longer, so he fell down and fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe when he wakes up, he will still numb himself and continue to go out with his colleagues to get drunk after get off work and listen to music in brothels...

However, at this moment, he was working hard and seriously. He was recalling his struggling teenage years, the time when he was completely ignorant and only knew how to make progress and work hard.

At that time, he didn't know the complexity of society, he only knew that if you work hard, you will get something in return.

If you work hard today, your master will praise you tomorrow.

After one month of hard work, you will make faster progress than your fellow brothers.

After a year of hard work, he was much stronger than his fellow brothers in the competition a year later.

After five years, the gap between the brothers was huge.

Then he successfully entered the government office and was envied by everyone.

And then inexplicably, as the first effort went, no one cared.

The first time, I worked hard, tried hard to make progress, and tried hard to achieve results, but instead I was used as a scapegoat and gradually became discouraged.

In addition, human nature is lazy, so people start to go with the flow.

In Wen Rensheng's eyes, the image of himself as a drunk but hard-working detective appeared in the past.

Overall, the responsibility lies with him.

Although there was so-called suppression against him from above, there were also many people who appreciated him.

But because of his own hesitation, laziness and unwillingness to work hard, he let those who suppressed him get their way and those who appreciated him shook their heads.

So he became an ordinary constable.

It is much better than ordinary farmers and they don’t need to do hard labor.

However, he did not reach the heights he should have.

Wen Rensheng found it very interesting.

A somewhat frightening experience that reflects life.

And that Liu Tuiguan was also drinking with others.

It’s a relative or friend whom I haven’t seen for a long time.

"Brother, I'm sorry. You asked me to recommend you for the position of county lieutenant before, but I was too concerned and didn't agree."

"Now that I think about it, what does that mean?"

"As long as I don't do evil, I know you won't do evil either, and you just want to live in peace."

"I know your character, and you know my character, too."

"But it's too late now. If I recommend you again, I will be a disaster for you. Anyway, I am very happy that you can look at me, and I am also ashamed."

The relative consoled him, “Brother, you’ve had too much to drink. I didn’t complain if you didn’t recommend me.”

"After all, you know I'm not the type to welcome people. If I really go up there, I'll end up in big trouble."

"Many people say that you have lost your humanity after becoming an official, but I know that you are trembling with fear, afraid of bringing trouble to your fellow villagers."

Liu Tuiguan felt even more ashamed: "How long can we enjoy happiness in this world? We are like morning dew, which will not last long."

"When you are over 30, time is running out. Looking back, you will find that few of you have enjoyed yourself, and most of you have been idle."

"Just for a moment, regret for a lifetime."

The relative also said, "Brother, you talk too much. It's good enough to be alive. Why think too much?"

"That's right, let's continue drinking."

As they drank a few more glasses, the relative's true intentions became clear.

"Brother, what on earth did you do when you took people down there?"

"Haha, brother, what can't you say?"

"Between the two of us, I trust you."

"Actually, I went down there, nominally to track down the murderers and the deceased."

"Actually, it's to check out the terrifying underground cave secret passage. What kind of danger is there?"

"Actually, it is also because..." When Liu Tuiguan said this, he suddenly tilted his head.

I couldn't bear it any longer and fell asleep.

"Damn, I drank too much!" The relative frowned and suddenly felt depressed.

He finally found an opportunity to get this distant brother drunk.

Generally speaking, Liu Tui Guan would stay away from any so-called drinking parties.

Only when you are in this kind of fear will you go with the flow and have a couple of drinks.

Many people were worried that Liu Tui Guan would drink too much and cause trouble.

So I didn't dare let him drink too much.

In fact, he knows his own capacity and his own character.

It is true that people will talk more when they are drunk, but they will never tell their most confidential matters.

Those things will be locked by him.

He is different from others.

Some people, when drunk, are indiscriminate and even dare to talk about their own affairs and murders.

But the more he drank, the more cautious he became.

They may even take advantage of the appearance of being drunk and deliberately leak false information to others.

He has done this more than once or twice.

Wen Rensheng learned this by looking into the past.

He could only say: Speaking of dogs, this guy is the best dog.

At this moment, this relative was deceived by Liu Tui Guan.

The relative then wrote a letter and had it carried out by an eagle.

The letter contained what Liu Tuiguan said when he was drunk.

Because drunkenness cannot be denied and is difficult to fake, the relative believed it without a doubt.

How would he know that there was such a person as Liu Tui Guan?

The drunker you are, the more confused your mind may seem, but the secrets in key areas are kept more closely.

Some would say this is impossible.

In fact, this is entirely possible.

Because getting drunk is a process.

When someone realizes they are drunk, they will pretend to be drunk.

There are many people like this.

Therefore, if you speak the truth after drinking, you will be taken advantage of by others.

Of course, drinking, in most cases, can make people talk less and become more talkative, thereby improving their sociability.

That's why alcohol has become a widespread lubricant in social situations.

This is the root cause of why it continues to happen despite repeated bans.

Wen Rensheng naturally knew that not drinking alcohol was truly good for the body.

Unfortunately, due to the weakness of human nature, a large sample of people find it difficult to resist the presence of alcohol in public social situations.

And now, Tui Guan Liu used alcohol to achieve his goal.

…………

Soon.

In the eldest prince's mansion.

"In search of secrets?"

"It seems that you want to find the underground base of the mansion? Haha, that's ridiculous. Who doesn't have a camp of death squads underground?" An old butler sneered.

There was a death squad standing nearby, acting as if he heard nothing.

However, the old butler did not know that the assassin's eyes revealed hatred.

This is the nature of the world: as long as a crime is possible, it will happen.

Unfortunately, many people do not fully understand this rule.

Or not reverent enough.
