As Chen Ze walked, he looked at the environment here. The cave was neither very spacious nor narrow.
The passage is about seven or eight meters long. Both walls are covered with moss and there are many spider webs hanging on the walls.
A layer of dust filled the cave.
Chen Ze pulled off a branch and drew on the ground. Chen Ze discovered that this should be the place that the old man of the Chen family mentioned.
"Dad, how long have you said your parents have been dead?" Chen Yating suddenly asked.
"This... this must have been twenty or thirty years ago!" Chen Jianguo was not sure. Chen Jianguo only remembered that his wife had died many years ago. As for what happened twenty years ago, he could not remember.
Chen Wenjin: "I haven't seen your parents in almost 30 years, and I don't remember much."
Chen Wenjin was also very emotional. This was the place where she and her husband once fell in love, but now it has become like this.
Along the way, the three Chen family members chatted about various topics, which also allowed Chen Wenjin to regain her childhood memories, and she was not as scared as when she first came in.
Chen Ze walked to the end.
Chen Ze stretched out his hand to try to feel what was at the end of the cave, but found that there was no end to the cave.
"Did we go the wrong way?" Chen Ze turned around and asked the three members of the Chen family.
Chen Yating shook her head, "That's right. I'm very familiar with the terrain here."
Chen Wenjin also said: "No, I have been here several times."
"Try again to see if there are any forks in other passages. This cave is straight and has no forks."
The three Chen family members tentatively walked a certain distance, but still found no other passage.
"The road here seems to have been repaired manually. The rocks and soil here are lighter in color. They should be newly filled in." Chen Wenjin looked at it for a while and came to a conclusion.
"It looks like this place was destroyed by the bomb." Chen Jianguo said. "No matter who bombed this place, since there is a passage, it proves that there is a mechanism here." Chen Ze said.
"Brother Chen, do you know about agencies?" Chen Jianguo asked.
"I understand a little bit," Chen Ze said modestly.
"Then can you destroy the mechanism and rescue my wife?" Chen Jianguo asked eagerly.
"This... shouldn't be difficult!" Chen Ze said and started to fumble around.
The rocks here are very smooth and it is not easy to build a structure, so Chen Ze only needs to remove the rocks.
Chen Ze looked around and found nothing unusual, so he was ready to use violence.
"Wait!" Chen Wenjin stopped Chen Ze.
"What's wrong?" Chen Ze stopped what he was doing.
Chen Wenjin pointed to the other end of the cave. Chen Ze looked over and found a raised spot on a stone with a groove there.
Chen Ze approached and bent down to move the stone aside.
"Click!"
As Chen Ze moved the stone, Chen Ze heard the sound of the stone colliding.
Then a loud bang was heard.
Chen Ze's eyes suddenly opened up, and what he saw was a huge space with many sarcophagi inside.
Chen Ze glanced over and found six sarcophagi.
"Damn, your Chen family is really awesome, there are so many sarcophagi!" Chen Ze exclaimed.
Chen Ze's voice attracted Chen Wenjin's attention.
Chen Wenjin also came over, and Chen Wenjin discovered the six sarcophagi that Chen Ze had mentioned.
"How did you tell there were six coffins?" Chen Wenjin asked.
"Intuition!" Chen Ze replied.
"Tch, it's weird to believe you." Chen Wenjin rolled her eyes, obviously not believing Chen Ze's lies. Chen Ze was lying to a child.
"I think this is the place." Chen Jianguo also came to Chen Ze's side.
"Well, it's right here, I think it's here too." Chen Ze nodded. "Detective Chen, are those corpses in that sarcophagus over there?" Chen Yating asked, pointing to the row of sarcophagi on the right.
Chen Ze shook his head: "That's a pile of dead bones!"
Chen Yating was extremely disappointed.
"Hey, where are my parents? There are only five coffins left here. My parents are definitely not dead yet. I want to find my parents!"
"Wait, little girl!" Chen Ze pulled Chen Yating.
"What's wrong?" Chen Yating asked in confusion.
"There may be unknown dangers behind that stone gate. If you rush in, you may not be able to get out!" Chen Ze reminded.
"Then what should we do? We can't just wait like this!" Chen Yating was unwilling to give in.
"It's not that we can't wait, but we have to prepare for the worst." Chen Ze is not worried about this. After all, this cave has existed for so many years and has not had any impact due to the Feng Shui Bureau.
"Young man, what do you mean, my son-in-law and the others are inside?" Chen Jianguo heard what Chen Ze meant.
"I'm not sure, but based on what we've seen so far, it's very likely that's the case," Chen Ze said.
After Chen Ze finished speaking, he continued to look for an exit in the cave, but after searching, Chen Ze still found no passage.
Chen Ze couldn't help but wonder, there couldn't be no clues left in this cave, otherwise it couldn't be so flat, as if someone had dug here.
Chen Ze knelt down, picked up a stone, and threw it towards a sarcophagus in front of him.
Bang!
The stone thrown by Chen Ze hit the sarcophagus, but the sarcophagus did not break.
"Hey~ so hard?" Chen Ze asked in surprise.
"I'll try throwing one to see if I can break it." Chen Ze picked up a stone from the ground.
Chen Wenjin, Chen Jianguo and Chen Yating stepped back a little to make way for Chen Ze.
Chen Ze aimed at the sarcophagus and used all his strength to throw it forward.
"Pa!"
The stone hit the coffin lid and made a crisp sound, but the sarcophagus was not damaged at all.
"Damn it! This must be an alloy coffin!" Chen Ze couldn't help but complain.
"This is unscientific!" Chen Ze frowned.
"Chen Ze, let me help you!" Chen Yating took out a dagger and prepared to attack the alloy coffin.
"Don't! Don't! This alloy coffin is made of iron and is extremely sharp. What if you hurt yourself?" Chen Ze quickly stopped Chen Yating.
Chen Yating was stunned. She didn't know that the sarcophagus was made of iron, let alone that it could be so powerful.
"Then... what should we do? Can we just wait here?" Chen Yating was unwilling to give in. Her relatives were lying there.
"Of course not, let me open the coffin!" Chen Ze decided to try it himself.
Chen Ze first took out a knife and knocked on the coffin lid, but there was no response.
Then he hit the hammer hard again.
Dong Dong Dong~
Chen Ze felt a dull vibration.
"There is a mechanism here. If I guess correctly, these iron tools should trigger the mechanism." Chen Ze said.
"Will my parents' bodies be at the bottom of this institution?" Chen Yating said excitedly.
Chen Ze shook his head, "I don't know, I have to dismantle it and have a look!"
"I'll come!" Chen Jianguo volunteered.
"No! This thing is too strong. We don't need to take this risk. If this mechanism is poisonous or something, we will all suffer." Chen Ze rejected Chen Jianguo's request.
"Then what should we do? There are so many iron tools that we can't take away at all. I think my parents should be hiding here." Chen Yating cried anxiously.
"Don't worry, I have a solution!" Chen Ze patted his chest and said.
Chen Ze's tone was very relaxed, as if there was no pressure at all, which made everyone look at Chen Ze high. (End of chapter)
