Chapter 203?
Qiu Wuhen said: "I saw a lot of wild peaches on the mountain just now. The peach cores are not completely rotten. Moreover, the temperature in the cave is relatively low, which means that someone ate them before and threw them here. I don't know if it was them.
?”
As he spoke, he reached out and touched the peach core.
If the walnuts are edible and have not gone bad, then DNA substances may be left on the peach pits. Because the human oral cavity is rich in epithelial cells, and the metabolism of epithelial cells is very frequent and can easily fall off.
Saliva contains a lot of epithelial cells. Juices such as walnuts can cause gaps between people's lips and teeth. If you need to bite hard, the epithelial cells contaminated by the teeth, gums, mouth, lips, etc. will be squeezed onto the walnuts by the teeth.
Epithelial cells can be detected.
Sure enough, after Qiu Wuhen's fingers touched the walnut, the accurate DNA analysis results finally appeared in his mind. He immediately compared it with the missing show girls and confirmed that it was left by one of the show girls.
Qiu Wuhen suddenly became excited. After seeing how long it had been left, the peach core was already dry. Fortunately, there was no sunlight or rain in the cave, and the temperature was relatively low, so it was relatively well preserved.
Even though most of the DNA has been degraded, there is still one residue, and it shows that the complete analysis results can be effectively compared and confirmed.
Qiu Wuhen happily said to Qian Jinzhi and Balu who were following him: "This walnut was left by one of the three beautiful girls. They have already escaped here. It seems that the water has blocked their escape."
, they had nowhere to go. They also discovered that the mountain road was full of vertical and horizontal intrusions, so they chose to walk on the left, at least until they got here. I think before there are no more good ways, they chose to walk all the way, at least
It can ensure that you can come back when you get lost. So they may keep adhering to this principle and move forward, and we will also insist on searching for the past to see if we can find them?"
They continued walking along the left side of the cave wall, leaving one person on duty at every fork in the cave. Further on, they found another walnut on the ground, which was also leftover from a peach. Qiu Wuhen did a test, and with the other
A show girl matches perfectly, confirming that there are at least two show girls here.
They continued to move forward, but they never found any leftover food on the ground. Maybe they didn't have any food at all, and they still didn't find any traces on the ground. However, their number of people decreased one by one, and in the end, only a few of them were left.
indivual.
Qiu Wuhen said: "If we go further and still don't find it, we will go back."
They continued to move forward and came to a fork in the road again. Qiu Wuhen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back."
Everyone nodded, and half of the torches they brought were burnt down. If they went forward, they wouldn't even have the torches to go back.
Just when they were about to turn around and walk back, Qiu Wuhen suddenly stopped, waved to everyone and said, "Everyone, please be silent. Listen, there seems to be some kind of sound."
Everyone held their breath and listened, but heard nothing. Qiu Wuhen put his ears to the ground and listened carefully. He excitedly waved to the others and pointed to the ground. The others also followed his example.
He was lying on the ground, listening with his ears to the ground. At this moment, excited smiles appeared on the faces of several other people, and there was really a sound on the ground, like the sound of running water.
Qiu Wuhen said: "There is an underground river here. Maybe they went out along the river."
But even he himself didn't believe what he said. In an underground cave, if you encounter an underground river, you will not float along the river unless you know for sure that it will flow out. Because you may be sucked into a completely sealed
They may drown in a waterway, or they may fall to their death from a sudden cliff. There are too many unknown things. But if there is the sound of water, then at least there is water to ensure that they continue to persevere. There are fish in the water and they can survive fishing.
, this discovery greatly increased the hope of the three beautiful girls to survive.
Qiu Wuhen immediately decided to explore further until he found the location of the water flow.
All that was left was the policemen, and one person was left at each intersection as they walked forward. At the end, only Qiu Wuhen and Qian Jinzhi were left. Others, including Balu and Muramasa
They were all left at the intersection behind.
Qiu Wuhen said with emotion: "This place is like a maze. We have dozens of people coming in, and there are dozens of crossroads. I should have called more people."
Qian Jinzhi said: "It's not too late for us to go out and call for help. Prepare more torches and food."
"We can wait, but they may not be able to. These beautiful women may be dying now. If we delay for a moment longer, they will lose their lives."
Qian Jinzhi knew that Qiu Wuhen had always been soft-hearted, so he nodded and said, "What you said is true, then let's move on."
Not long after the two of them walked forward, they encountered another fork in the road. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and Qiu Wuhen said: "Just keep watching, maybe you can find them at the next intersection. I'll try again, if the next intersection
If there is still no news, I will come back."
Qian Jinzhi nodded and said: "You must keep your word. Don't grit your teeth and move forward when you reach the next intersection. You will get lost. We can't take the risk."
"Don't worry, I'm afraid my life is more important than yours."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Qiu Wuhen thought that these words sounded so different, so he glanced at her. Qian Jinzhi quickly turned away and did not look at him. He only said: "Listen to me, think of me."
I'm still waiting for you here, so don't take risks and make me anxious."
Qiu Wuhen said: "I know!"
This always felt a little strange just now, but he knew that although Qian Jinzhi loved money and cherished his life, he had always been very good to him and was willing to stay by his side at all times. Thinking about it, he held the torch and continued.
As expected, there was another fork in the road not long after walking. The cave was really full of ravines and mazes everywhere, which was really overwhelming.
Qiu Wuhen really didn't want to go any further, so he decided to give up. He would go back and think of a way, bring more people with him, and come back with full preparations. What he planned was determined by man, and God determined it. He couldn't put his own life in it.
Qiu Wuhen lay on the ground and listened again, and he could clearly hear the sound of the river. The river should be nearby.
Qiu Wuhen gritted his teeth and carefully checked. There was an obvious difference between that cave and this cave. That cave went down diagonally, but this time it was flat. He observed the characteristics of each cave twice, and then started from the boots.
He took out a knife from the tube and carved an arrow on the stone wall. Fubuki really cut iron like mud and easily carved marks on the mountain wall. He continued along the left side of the mountain rock and drew an arrow at every intersection.
Mark, he wanted to take a risk, because now he could hear it without lying on the ground. As long as he kept going to the left, there was a mark, so he wouldn't get lost.
After he passed a few more intersections and left arrows behind, he finally came to an underground river. This was a small underground cave with all kinds of strange stalactites everywhere, and the underground river flowed from the side.
Crossing. He walked forward along the river and stopped not long after walking. He saw two white figures lying on the ground and immediately shouted loudly: "Who is in front of you? I am an inspector from the Yamen Inspection Department.
, came to look for the missing show girl, who are you?"
No one answered. Qiu Wuhen's heart sank, and he continued to move forward with a torch. Under the light of the torch, he could see clearly that they were indeed two women, and the clothes they wore happened to be the white clothes worn by beautiful women.
I'm sure it's the show girl.
He quickened his pace and came to the two of them. They were lying on their stomachs, and one of them was highly corrupted and exuded the smell of corpse. Although the other one showed no signs of corruption, he was lying there motionless.
Qiu Wuhen hurried forward and checked the woman who had no signs of corruption. Her pulse was very weak, but she was still alive. He checked her nose and breathed, and could feel the airflow, but he grabbed her shoulders and kept shaking her.
The other party did not wake up. Qiu Wuhen continued to shake. He looked around and saw that there should be three people, but why were there only two?
He held a torch and looked around, and found a pair of embroidered shoes by the stream. In addition, there was a white dress near the cave, which was obviously taken off by someone.
Qiu Wuhen immediately touched the dress with his hand. Several of the dresses were close-fitting clothes. Qiu Wuhen immediately put his hand on the collar of the clothes, which was the easiest place to leave
Where there are epithelial cells and sweat stains, DNA can be extracted as long as there are sweat stains.
Sure enough, the DNA extracted from the collar showed that this dress belonged to one of the show girls. These show girls only wore one set of clothes, and there could be no other clothes. Qiu Wuhen had already discovered two show girls.
The third one only has one set of clothes left. Where is she? And this set of clothes includes skirts, trousers, shoes, and even small clothes. Could this person just disappear naked? Or go swimming in the river?
Drowned?
Unbeknownst to Qiu Wuhen, he immediately came back and checked another highly decomposed corpse. He took off a hair of the corpse and held it in his hand. He immediately extracted the DNA of the corpse. After comparison, he confirmed that it was the same.
The missing show girl.
He also pulled out a hair of the unconscious woman for identification, and the comparison also matched one of the missing show girls. Of the three remaining show girls, one was dead and highly corrupted. The other one was only alive.
There was one suit of clothes, but the person had disappeared. There was another one, lying on the ground unconscious. The cave was so big, and the other side of the river was a cliff, with no place to stay or anywhere to hide.
He called loudly, but there was no answer. The torch in Qiu Wuhen's hand was getting shorter and shorter, so he decided to leave.
He carried the beautiful girl on the ground on his back and said to the highly corrupted beautiful girl's body: "I'm sorry, I can only leave you here."
With that said, Xiu Nu started to walk back with the beautiful girl on her back. Every time you reach an intersection, there are arrows on the wall indicating that you just need to follow it. And since you kept going straight when you came, when you go back, keep walking to the right, and then go back.
