"What is that place for?" Wang Anguo suddenly asked.
Seeing that Wang Anguo suddenly noticed that place, Director An couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
But he still pretended to be calm and said, "That's a mine we abandoned before!"
"Let's go and take a look!"
"Comrade of the public security, that place has already been buried more than half, there's nothing to see!" Director An hurriedly said.
"It's okay, we're just doing a routine search to avoid any omissions!"
Subsequently, Wang Anguo led the people over there.
It can be seen that this mine is very deep, and this hole alone is three or four meters high.
It's just that maybe because it was abandoned, the hole is filled with all kinds of soil, sand, and coal gangue.
Abandoned mines and pits like this are very common in the mining area, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
After looking at the hole for a while and finding nothing abnormal, Li Gang sighed and said, "Captain Wang, it seems that there is nothing we are looking for here. Why don't we withdraw!"
However, Wang Anguo shook his head and said, "Wait a minute!"
Subsequently, in the stunned eyes of Li Gang, Wang Anguo said to the several team members behind him, "Dig this place open!"
"Dig... dig open?"
Without allowing Li Gang to question, Wang Anguo said in a deep voice, "Dig!"
Hearing that Wang Anguo was going to re-dig the abandoned mine, Director An's heart was in his throat, and he hurriedly said, "Comrade, this well is very big and deep. If you dig it open, you have to refill it for us. Otherwise, we few people can't fill it in!"
Wang Anguo didn't pay attention to him, but said to the people around him, "Hurry up and dig! Dig deep!"
Hearing the word "dig deep", Li Gang suddenly thought of what that fortune-teller said in the morning: "Dig deep in this direction, and there must be what you are looking for!"
Could that guy mean this by "dig deep"?
Although he didn't quite believe it, he still quieted down!
Soon, the half-covered hole of the mine was dug open.
When the hole was dug open, the experienced Wang Anguo immediately noticed something abnormal.
This mine has been abandoned for many years, and it seems that no one has come for a long time from the outside, but human footprints were found at the entrance of the hole, which were very obvious.
That is to say, someone has been in this mine, and more than once!
This discovery made Wang Anguo and Li Gang and others immediately alert, and asked the other team members to continue cleaning up the garbage at the entrance of the hole. Wang Anguo took Li Gang and others to prepare to ask that Director An again.
However, when he turned around to look for that guy, he found that he was no longer there.
"Where's the person?" Wang Anguo hurriedly asked the nearby Director Zhou.
"He said he was going back to clean up the dining area and feed the dogs by the way!"
"In which direction did he go?"
"Over there!" Director Zhou pointed to the direction where the workers were eating just now and said.
Upon closer inspection, Wang Anguo indeed noticed a figure walking towards that direction and realized that this guy might be trying to escape. He immediately said, "Chase, this person has a problem!"
With Wang Anguo's order, these public security and armed police officers around immediately chased after him.
Seeing someone chasing after him, Manager An immediately ran away.
In addition, a similar phenomenon occurred in the places where coal miners gathered, and those workers also scattered and fled.
Wang Anguo immediately shouted loudly, "Seize them, we can't let them run away!"
Although he brought over 200 people over this time, they were distributed very scattered, and only over 30 people came with him to inspect the Kang'an coal mine.
Except for those who dig abandoned mines, there aren't actually many people around.
Now these guys are scattered and fleeing, which makes Wang Anguo a bit anxious.
At the same time, he was also a bit excited. Although he hadn't found those children yet, from the way these people ran away, he knew they must be having a problem.
Li Gang was also a bit confused. The situation reversed a bit too quickly, to the point where he didn't even react.
Although it is still unclear why those people wanted to run, out of professional instinct, he still chased after them and signaled for reinforcements from the surrounding militia!
And when the surrounding armed police and militia saw the signal flares and heard the sound of Wang Anguo and others firing warning shots, they immediately rushed from all around.
When working together to capture these fleeing miners, breakthroughs were also made in the search of abandoned mines.
As the mine entrance was excavated, several public security soldiers immediately went down with flashlights to search.
Although it was pitch black below the well, the soldiers became more excited as they walked deeper into it, because after several tens of meters, they discovered signs of human life, such as the ubiquitous Origi.
This indicates that there are people underground, and there are still quite a few.
When they went deeper than a hundred meters underground, they found a large iron gate ahead.
The iron door is directly embedded into the stone walls of the mine, and there is a large lock hanging on it, which looks very sturdy.
Without the key, the police first smashed the lock a few times with a stone, only to find that the lock remained motionless.
Then I can only go up there to find the hammer and crowbar!
Quickly, the tools were sent underground.
With the joint efforts of several public security soldiers in smashing and hitting, the lock on the big iron gate was finally smashed off.
Then, they pushed open the big iron gate with excited and uneasy feelings.
The moment the iron door was pushed open, everyone was stunned by what they saw in front of them.
It was only seen that in the cold and dim mine, there was a decayed smell mixed with the stench of feces and urine. Before people even entered, the pungent smell made people couldn't help but retch.
With the light of the narrow flashlight, the soldiers in charge of the search finally saw the scene in the mine clearly.
In the deep but not very spacious mine, there were several tattered straw mats laid out, and on the straw mats were curled up more than a dozen small figures.
These were exactly those abducted children!
These children were wearing tattered and thin clothes. It was nothing outside. After all, it was June now, and even if you only wore a small pair of underpants, you wouldn't feel cold.
But in this cold mine, it was very cold, so the children huddled together to keep warm.
Moreover, most of these children were dusty and their spirits were not very good either. Obviously, they had suffered a lot during this period.
Among them, several were lying on the ground motionless, and it was not known whether they were alive or dead!
Perhaps it was the commotion of hammering the lock just now that scared them. These children were all huddled together in horror, and their bodies were still shaking constantly, which made the public security soldiers feel very distressed.
Subsequently, the soldiers immediately went over to check the situation of the children!
It was found that although the situation of most children was not very good, they were not injured either, and they would be fine after going back and recuperating.
But there were several children who were sick and had a high fever, and the situation was very bad.
Immediately, the soldiers immediately carried the children out of the mine one by one...
