As a local policeman, is it appropriate for you to take over the job of a criminal policeman?

Sure enough, the two men later threw down a pile of stones, almost covering the bottom of the cave. This shows how much they hated me.

After there was completely no movement above, Ye Lin struggled to climb out of the depression, sat on a pile of rocks and looked up.

This place is at least 100 meters away from the cave entrance, and you definitely can't climb up by yourself.

At this moment, Ye Lin suddenly felt pain in his hands. He looked down and saw that both hands were covered in blood. These were the wounds from being cut and stabbed when he grabbed the stones when he came down.

I was too nervous before and didn’t feel anything, but now that I’ve relaxed, both my palms are burning with pain.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes. He felt that he had fallen into a trap. He had caught so many big thieves, but he didn't expect to be cheated by these two people.

Since he was in a desperate situation, Ye Lin was too lazy to complain and decided to think of a solution.

He first cleaned the gravel off his palms, then took out some cotton from his clothes and covered his hands with it.

He tore off two strips of cloth from his clothes and bandaged the wound on his hand temporarily, so that at least he could still use some strength with his hand.

This mine is not very big, about 3-4 meters wide, and the walls on both sides are uneven, so there are footholds to climb up.

It’s just that this depth of 100 meters is really a bit difficult. It’s not possible for Ye Lin to climb up in one go with his physical strength, and he has to rest in the middle.

However, this straight mine had no platform for rest, which made Ye Lin fall into deep thought again.

Up there, when it was time to finish work, a group of people dragged their tired bodies out of the mine, only to be greeted by heavy rain in the dark winter night.

The foreman gathered everyone together under the work shed and took a headcount as per custom.

"twenty three..."

42 people?

That’s not right. It should be 43 people who went down.

The foreman was a little surprised and counted again, and there were still 42 people.

He was a little panicked and said anxiously: "Look around, who else hasn't come up yet?"

The group of workers now realized that there were fewer people and began to look at each other.

"Everyone living in the same dormitory, come and check to see if anyone is missing." The foreman shouted loudly.

"Our dorm seems to be in order."

"Several of our fellow villagers are here."

Everyone looked at each other, Peng Yong and Cai Rong looked at each other and nodded.

Then Peng Yong pretended to be panicked and shouted, "Boss, our fellow villager Ye Lin is missing."

Everyone looked at Peng Yong at the same time, and then started looking for him in the team.

"Yeah, that Xiaoye is gone."

"I saw him down there before."

"I saw him, too, but I don't think I saw him again later."

Everyone started talking about it, but no one knew where Ye Lin had gone.

"Everyone, think about it, have you seen where Ye Lin went?" the foreman asked nervously.

The death of a person is a big deal.

"Will he go back by himself?"

"Yes, boss, let's go to the dormitory and take a look." Peng Yong suggested.

"Let's go back to the dormitory. If this guy runs back by himself, I'll beat him up." The foreman angrily led his men into the rain and ran towards the dormitory.

In the dormitory, a group of people rushed in, wet and shouting Ye Lin's name loudly.

But disappointingly, there was no one inside and Ye Lin's bed was empty.

A chill rose from under the foreman's feet, and his previous desire to beat someone up was gone.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a panic, "Could something have happened?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to do.

At this time, Peng Yong and Cai Rong rushed out, surrounded the foreman, their eyes red, and said loudly and anxiously, "Ye Lin must have fallen into the hole. We have to go back and look for him."

"We brought Ye Lin here. If anything happens to him, we won't be able to explain to his family."

"Yes, we are all co-workers, we can't just stand by and watch someone die."

The two looked at everyone with pleading expressions and kept persuading them.

To be honest, the two of them acted really well, and everyone believed them and were even a little moved. Who wouldn’t encounter some difficulties when they come out, and who doesn’t want someone to help them when they are in trouble?

"Yeah, what if something goes wrong? Let's go back and look for it, boss."

"We all come out to earn money to support our families, so we'll help if we can."

Seeing that everyone agreed to go and rescue people, the foreman stopped talking and led everyone into the heavy rain again.

At the entrance of the mine, continuous heavy rain caused water to accumulate on the ground, and the water flowed into the cave.

It's really hard to say whether to go in at this time. It's a bit dangerous. One is that the ground is slippery, and the other is that there may be a landslide.

Everyone stopped in their tracks at once. Compared to saving others, sometimes one's own life might be more important.

"Ayong, what do you think?" The foreman looked at Peng Yong and Cai Rong in embarrassment. No one should want to go down at this time.

Peng Yong and Cai Rong also pretended to be hesitant. Finally, they looked at each other and said, "We are very happy that you can come, but it is too dangerous to go down now. You have no relationship with Ye Lin, so there is no need to take this risk."

These words greatly increased everyone's favorable impression of them. They were just afraid of those who would try to use moral blackmail at a time like this.

The two continued, "But we are from the same hometown after all, and we have to be responsible for him. The two brothers will go in, and please help us guard the entrance of the cave. In case anything happens, you can lend a hand."

After saying that, the two of them bowed to everyone and walked into the mine together.

The people outside were deeply moved. This was very affectionate and righteous, but no one knew that this was part of the two people's plan.

They wanted to kill Ye Lin, and then get the pension in the name of Ye Lin's fellow villager. After seeing what happened tonight where they risked their lives to save others, I believe these workers will have no objection to them collecting the pension on their behalf.

The two of them just walked a few steps inside, then stopped and sat in the darkness, waiting silently.

An hour later, the two men rolled on the ground for a few times and came out with dirty bodies and frustrated looks on their faces.

"How is it?" Although no one was seen, everyone still asked with a slim hope.

Peng Yong shook his head sadly, "He's gone. I can't find him. I called him for a long time but there was no response."

"We also went to several abandoned mine tunnels at the back, but couldn't find anyone at all," Cai Rong added.

The foreman sighed, "Not much hope, maybe he accidentally fell into the mine."

"Young people just like to run around. Now that's good, eh?"

"Curiosity kills the cat. They have no idea how dangerous it is down there."

The other workers sighed a few times. The longer they worked, the more they realized how dangerous it was to be a miner. It was easy to get killed if you were not careful.
