Walking here was like walking on the road to the Black Mountain Demon's lair. It was a bit eerie and scary.
Because this place was in the mountains, the road was uneven. Sometimes it went up and sometimes it went down. It was very hard to walk.
After walking for less than five miles, Shen Yuanzhu's head was sweating and her legs were weak. Her high heels were hurting her feet. Li Rui saw her slow down and said, "Director Shen, why don't you sit on the rock and rest for a while. I'll walk forward and come back. I don't think we'll find anything. "Shen Yuanzhu didn't force him and said," Okay, I'll rest for a while. Don't go too far. "
Li Rui smiled at her and continued to walk forward. He thought that before the two reporters disappeared, they were going to secretly interview the miners. But how could they find the miners?
What Shen Yuanzhu said last night was very reasonable. The two of them didn't dare to openly enter the coal mine as reporters but they could pretend to be passersby and coal business owners. But the problem was that all the workers in the mine were busy. Who would have time to talk to them? Even if they were chatting, how could they talk about the accident in the mine? Besides, there were so many fierce security guards in the mine. Even if they could sneak in, they would be watched. How could they dare to talk about things that were not beneficial to them?
Thinking of this, he stopped and looked at the high wall and shook his head. It seemed that the two reporters didn't sneak into the coal mine. In other words, they weren't caught in the coal mine.
At this moment, a teenager suddenly appeared on the hillside in front of them. He was about 14 or 15 years old and had a crew cut. He was dressed in dirty clothes and had a black bag on his shoulder. He sneakily ran down the hill.
Li Rui waved his hand and said, "Little brother …" The teenager was about to run towards him but when he saw him waving his hand, he stopped and didn't dare to move forward. Li Rui smiled and said, "Little brother, I want to ask you something." The teenager said with a strong mountain accent, "What do you want to ask?" Li Rui smiled and said, "Are you familiar with this coal mine?" The kid said proudly, "Of course I'm familiar with it. My house is right at the foot of the mountain. How can I not be familiar with it?" Li Rui asked, "Then let me ask you, have you played in the coal mine these past few days?" The kid nodded. Li Rui said, "Then have you ever seen two people? A man and a woman. The man is about the same age as me, and the woman is younger. She has braids and is very pretty … "
Without waiting for him to finish, the kid nodded and said, "I've seen her before. That big sister is quite pretty. She even gave me chocolate to eat."
Li Rui had only asked casually and did not hold any hope. He planned to return home after getting a negative answer. Who would have thought that this kid had actually seen the two of them? He was overjoyed and quickly ran over. The kid was scared out of his wits. He turned around and tried to run, but the sack on his shoulder was very heavy. He couldn't run fast. Li Rui chased after him and said, "Little brother, don't run away. I just have something to ask you, that's all. If you answer my questions, I'll give you money to buy chocolate. You can buy as much as you want. " The kid was overjoyed when he heard this. He turned around and stopped. He threw the sack on the ground and said, "Really? Don't lie to me. "
After the sack fell to the ground, the mouth of the sack opened, revealing pieces of coal inside.
Li Rui took a look and laughed, "Little brother, are you stealing coal from the coal mine?" The kid said casually, "Yes. What's the matter? That's what we do. My dad says that this is called relying on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the coal to eat coal. " Li Rui laughed and took out his wallet. He took out a hundred dollar bill and handed it over, "Little brother, as long as you answer my questions, this will be your reward." The kid licked his lips when he saw the money. He laughed and took the bill. He looked at it carefully and even looked at the watermark under the sunlight. He carefully folded the bill and put it in his pocket, saying, "Big brother, ask away. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
Li Ruixin was very happy. He laughed and asked, "What's your name?" The kid said, "Sun Xiaoguang. You can call me Xiaoguang." Li Rui nodded, "Okay, Xiaoguang. Let's talk about that beautiful sister. Where did you see her? When? " Sun Xiaoguang scratched his head and tried to recall, "A few days ago. I can't remember what day it was. At that time, it was after noon. Just like you, the two of them were walking on the road outside the wall of the coal mine. I had just come out from stealing coal when the two of them stopped me. "Li Rui happily said," And then? What did they ask you? " Sun Xiaoguang said, "They asked me … They asked me if I knew about the mine accident last year. I said I didn't know. They asked me if I knew about the deaths. I said I didn't know. I only knew that there were a lot of graves in the field. But I didn't see anyone for a few days. I was quite depressed. "
Li Rui couldn't help but laugh, "What's a half-grown kid like you so depressed about?" Sun Xiaoguang laughed mischievously and said, "If there was a funeral, and the family held the funeral, I would be able to join in the feast." Li Rui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Continue, what else did they say to you?" Sun Xiaoguang thought for a moment, and said, "They asked me if I knew any miners nearby. I said I knew them. I knew a lot of them when I was stealing coal. That big sister asked me to help her find a few acquaintances. How would I dare? My goodness, I do know them, but if they caught me, they would beat me to death. I don't want to be stupid. "
Li Rui laughed, "And then?" Sun Xiaoguang said, "Then that sister asked me how I stole the coal and gave me chocolate. I told them I got in through a dog hole. That sister asked me to take them there, so I took them to take a look. Then I went away, and I haven't seen them since. " Li Ruixin was bewildered. Could it be that the two reporters saw that they couldn't get in through the main entrance of the coal mine, so they followed Sun Xiaoguang's example and got into the mine through a dog hole? They were really bold and said, "Xiaoguang, can you take Big Brother there to take a look?" Sun Xiaoguang said straightforwardly, "Sure, why not? Heh heh. Let's go. "
Sun Xiaoguang took Li Rui up the hill and down the other side. They walked around the perimeter of the wall. After walking for about a hundred meters, they came to a high ridge where the mountain met.
Sun Xiaoguang stopped, "It's here." Li Rui looked over and saw a washtub-sized hole under the wall in front of him. He squatted down at the hole and saw that it was very deep and wide. It seemed that it would lead to the mine through the high wall. He asked in surprise, "You can get in?" Sun Xiaoguang said, "It looks small but it's big inside. You can try it if you don't believe me."
Li Rui didn't say anything. He carefully observed the footprints around the hole. He tried one of the footprints with his own shoes. It was bigger than his shoes. Was it left by the male reporter Lui Hai? Then he saw a delicate footprint. It should be left by that female reporter.
"They are too bold. If it were me, I wouldn't dare to get in."
Li Rui sighed and asked Sun Xiaoguang, "Xiaoguang, where does it lead to?" Sun Xiaoguang said, "It leads to a coal pile. Hehe, no one is guarding it. You can steal and take as much as you want." Li Ruiqi said, "You always come in and go out to steal coal and were caught. Why didn't anyone block this hole?" Sun Xiaoguang smiled complacently, "Why not? Someone always buries it with soil. It's us who dig it up every time."
Li Rui nodded and secretly scolded the two reporters for being muddle-headed. How could the two of them walk into the trap together? At least one of them should stay outside to keep watch. Even if something happened, there would be room to maneuver. Sigh, these reporters were really inexperienced. Sun Xiaoguang shook his head and said, "No, I ate it at home, but this is the same as mine." Li Rui then understood that Zhuang Haixia had eaten it before. Zhuang Haixia had eaten it before. Sun Xiaoguang said, "No, I ate it at home, but this is the same as mine."
"Hey … what are you doing?" Shen Yuanzhu's voice was heard not far away.
Li Rui looked in the direction of the voice and saw Shen Yuanzhu appear on the opposite side of the road. They were dozens of meters apart, so he gestured for her to come over and asked Sun Xiaoguang to leave.
Shen Yuanzhu curiously glanced at Sun Xiaoguang, then came in front of Li Rui and said, "What are you doing?" Li Rui said in a low voice, "Lower your voice, I found a big clue, haha, hahaha." Shen Yuanzhu saw that he was happy as if he had picked up five million yuan. She couldn't help but laugh, "What did you find?" Li Rui pointed to the hole and said, "The two missing reporters came here. I think they were accidentally caught after entering the coal mine." Shen Yuanzhu was surprised and happy. She looked at the hole and asked, "Is it true?" Li Rui said, "Yes, it's very likely. That guy saw the two reporters that day. When Zhuang Haixia heard that there was a hole that led to the coal mine, she asked him to bring the two reporters here. I think she wanted to go in and investigate. "
Shen Yuanzhu said excitedly, "Then what should we do? Go back and tell Bureau Chief Ji? "Li Rui waved his hand," Not yet. After all, this is only my wishful thinking. Whether or not Zhuang Haixia really went in, no one knows. If they didn't go in, wouldn't it be a joke? Besides, what if Bureau Chief Ji heard about this and brought a large group of people here? What if we alert the enemy? Let me go in and investigate first. "Shen Yuanzhu shouted," Ah? You want to go in too? " Li Rui smiled, "Don't worry. I'm not like those two stupid reporters. I'm not that easy to bully. Also, I have the best partner. This is what they lack. "
