Chapter 31: A Thousand Miles of Snakes

The pouring rain is daunting.

This rain has passed the first market of the new year on the sixth day of the new year, and it has become a local characteristic.

In Li Yiting's mobile phone, there are all the photos of the suspects provided by Qiu Xi, which has to be said to greatly facilitate everyone's actions. After Wan Yongkun briefly understood the physical characteristics of the mute, he put on his coat without saying a word, and waited on the road that the mute had to go to the mountain, and he was not sure whether the mute would enter the mountain in such weather, but since he received the task, he would not hesitate for a moment.

The first fierce general in Beiting is by no means a wasted name.

Yuan Village is the first big village in the water, so the highway is also criss-crossed, the traffic is relatively convenient, now Wan Yongkun is nested in front of an iron shop next to the mountain road to smoke without a match, even if he is wearing a coat, standing on the road in the rain is not like that, so he paid for a black cone of iron, and then pretended to wait for the rain to stop, and kept staying, the shopkeeper was busy to death, naturally he would not ask.

Sometimes, it's just that easy to hide.

In the distance came a short and fat man, and it could be seen that this man walked with a plank and an eye, and the chassis was very stable, and he only wore a huge hat and carried a wooden handle and a firewood knife on his back, and walked forward calmly despite the heavy rain. Wan Yongkun's eyes lit up, and the long-awaited target appeared.

"Whoa, whoa......" Heavy footsteps passed in front of him, and the dumb man didn't squint, and he didn't even glance at Wan Yongkun and the blacksmith shop.

This person is either careless or very conceited, in short, his aura is quite powerful, this is the first impression that a dumb man gave Wan Yongkun.

Fortunately, there is no problem with Qiuxi's intelligence, this person has to enter the mountain once a day, rain or shine, it is said that he is practicing some scary kung fu, and today is no exception, so he did not let him wait in vain.

It wasn't until the mute's back disappeared at the end of the path that Wan Yongkun stood up unhurriedly and threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and the rich rain instantly soaked it with a soft sound. Tracking is his forte, even if the various traces are not obvious on a rainy day, he will not chase and lose.

Before leaving the blacksmith shop, he also handed the shopkeeper a cigarette, and he had a place to live another day.

The owner of the blacksmith shop smiled and continued to dig his head into the hammer.

Only then did Wan Yongkun help the hat, tighten his clothes, bow his head and walk quickly in the direction where the dumb man left. The road was a dirt road, and the footprints of the dumb man were still clearly visible, and those footprints were wide and long, and they were distinctive.

What's even funnier is that he can occasionally see a strange little thing next to the big footprints - melon seed shells.

It turned out that this dumb man seemed to be like no one else, but in fact, he swallowed a few melon seeds from time to time, he was completely a leisure activity, Wan Yongkun laughed, this is not called tracking at all, but should be called tailgating.

This is how he followed the mute man and slowly walked into the depths of the bamboo forest.

The two of them walked one after the other, as if they were walking in the rain.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

More than an hour later.

The mute man slowly came to a low-lying area, and then put on a posture and roared hehe, and a strange tone peculiar to the aphasia sounded in the bamboo forest.

The bamboo forest is dense, although the rain does not abate, but after the bamboo leaves cover and gather, often flow down along the bamboo poles, and very few can really drip on people, so the dumb man simply threw the hat aside, revealing a chubby face and thick long hair.

The dumb man shook his hair, looking a little bit of a worldly man.

This guy is really interesting, he usually coils his hair in the hat, just like the heroes of ancient times.

Wan Yongkun hid in the branch of a big tree in the distance, and couldn't help laughing several times, looking at the dumb man's style, which was completely amateurish, and even basically squatted on horseback, stepping on gossip, and playing some common martial arts routines, from his point of view, it seemed that he had no actual combat ability.

According to the people in the village, this guy mainly practiced qigong, and studied under a certain master in Mount Emei, which Wan Yongkun believed a little, because after a while, a layer of white gas appeared on the dumb man's head, probably because the rain and sweat were evaporated by body heat, or it was really caused by internal qi.

Wan Yongkun stayed in the tree for nearly an hour, staring at this "martial arts master" in the style of running tricks in the rivers and lakes, crying and laughing, just a few tricks back and forth, he could almost count it.

No, the dumb man held his breath, took a horse step, pushed his hands flat, and raised his index finger, and was stunned for two quarters of an hour, seeing that Wan Yongkun was in a hurry, and he didn't know whether to go over and talk to him.

Lest he be a blind man who has been lighting a lamp in vain for more than ten years! He thought to himself.

At this moment, the dumb man suddenly collected his work, and after being stunned for a while, he walked straight towards Wan Yongkun.

Fortunately, just seven or eight meters away from Wan Yongkun's hideout, the dumb man stopped, he obviously did not find Wan Yongkun, but deliberately walked under another jujube tree, the dumb man looked around rarely, and after confirming that it was safe, he reached out and took out an object from the tree hole.

Wan Yongkun held his breath, his body clinging to the trunk of the tree, and secretly observed through the cracks in the branches.

The dumb man pulled out the wood knife behind him again, leaned on the trunk of the jujube tree, and slashed something one by one. Wan Yongkun's eyes were sharp, but because of his vision, he couldn't see what he was holding in his hand. It wasn't until the dumb man finished cutting one, put it on the ground, and lined up in a long line, that Wan Yongkun understood.

Sure enough, after about six or seven raw materials, the dumb man took out a carving knife from his pocket, sat on the root of the tree, and began to carve it intently.

Look at that stroke by stroke, it is very dexterous, it is said that there are many strange people in the folk, this is indeed true, look at the dumb five big and three thick, and engage in carving, it is also a shape, thick and fine.

About half an hour later, the dumb man had already completed a statue, and Wan Yongkun peeked at it, and it turned out to be a slender and slender woman!

Wan Yongkun was slightly distracted, and accidentally touched a branch, making a "sand" sound.

"Whoosh-" A flash of white light flew towards his hiding place, and the mute man's ears and eyes were extremely sensitive, and it seemed that he had spotted him, and he shot out the wood in his hand.

Wan Yongkun was about to appear, when footsteps suddenly sounded next to him, and he hurriedly hid his body in the branch again.

Not far away, a young man with a thief's eyebrows walked over, with a thin figure, also wearing a hat, and a raincoat with a hood, probably this raincoat blocked his vision, so that he did not notice Wan Yongkun's existence.

Wan Yongkun secretly exclaimed: "It's so dangerous!"

Before he could get to the dumb man, the young man shouted, "Why are you so excited? ”

Wan Yongkun recognized this person as Zhang Jin from Yuancun, and he happened to have seen a photo of this person in Li Yiting's mobile phone.

It seemed that the dumb man also recognized Zhang Jin, so his sharp eyes softened slightly, and he lowered his head and continued the carving at hand.

Zhang Jin walked slowly to the mute, took off the hat, put down the hood, and then picked up a statue casually, shaking his head while looking at it: "You say, why bother with a crush on someone for so many years? Now that people have been dead for many years, you still miss it so much, tsk, since ancient times, you have been amorous and hateful!"

The dumb man didn't raise his head, and let him talk to himself, maybe he was used to it.

Zhang Jin's eyes rolled around and continued to play the piano to the cow: "I said dumb brother, don't you just want to have a little leisure? However, this is your own business, and it stands to reason that I can't control it. ”

He changed his words: "But you can't cut off the brothers' financial routes, right?...... You said that we worked hard for more than half a year to get that Guanyin mud fetus out, but when we were angry, you were good, and we were all gone, and the brothers were counting on selling it for a few dollars to eat, isn't it too authentic?"

Wan Yongkun couldn't help but prick up his ears, the wind and rain had been blowing for nearly a whole day, and he finally heard something dry.

The dumb man finally raised his head slowly and glanced at Zhang Jin coldly.

Zhang Jin said as if no one was around: "What my brother said is the truth, people die for money, birds die for food, and now our brothers can be stared at by the villagers...... And that little policeman, I don't know where to get the news, I took me as the mastermind, so I lay in bed and pretended to be sick for many days, and I didn't dare to take any work, and finally passed the New Year, I was drinking the northwest wind......"

"Ahh......h

He also briefly gestured with his hand twice, and then took a firewood knife and wrote three words on the ground: calm down.

Zhang Jin glanced at it and said angrily: "In this society now, it is difficult to move an inch without money, you tell us to calm down and count a few meanings, it doesn't matter if you are alone, I am still old and young, not to mention Zhang Kun, I gambled so much that my pants were almost pawned a few years ago, and I didn't let my brothers live?"

"Actually, this matter is also very simple, as long as you tell us, where is the real Guanyin statue, the brothers will naturally handle the matter well, and you will definitely be indispensable for your share of the money, our brothers are not greedy, five or five points, you are the eldest brother, take fifty percent, it's interesting enough, right? "Zhang Jin seems to be really poor and crazy, and he dares to open any conditions.

The mute man was indifferent, and did not move for a long time.

Zhang Jin was anxious, he stood up suddenly, and roared in a low voice that was quite controlled: "Dumb brother, if you really don't care about the life and death of your brothers, then don't blame your brothers for being unkind!"

Seeing that the mute man was still silent, he angrily picked up a few statues on the ground and threw them more than ten meters away, fell into the grass and disappeared, and muttered: What a broken ghost.

The dumb man seemed to be angry, he jumped up, grabbed Zhang Jin's collar, and lifted him up like a chicken, the scene was very funny, Wan Yongkun almost laughed.

The mute stared at Zhang Jin viciously: "Ahh......hhh Ahh......h

Zhang Jin was not afraid at all, and still said with difficulty: "You kill me...... It's useless, in fact, brothers...... It's not stupid, Guanyin is like a ...... Isn't it hidden in Li Qiwen's ...... In the coffin? Don't think it...... We don't know. ......”

The mute's expression froze for a moment, and then he slowly let go of his hand, and Zhang Jin gasped for breath.

"Ahh The dumb man gestured vigorously.

Zhang Jin's face finally showed a look of joy, and he said excitedly: "Dumb brother, you finally agreed, great...... Don't worry, I have already contacted the customer, as long as the thing is sold, your share is absolutely indispensable. ”

The dumb man waved his hand helplessly, signaling Zhang Jin to leave quickly, and it could be seen that his mood was a little irritable.

Zhang Jin was not in a hurry to leave, he stretched out his hand and asked: "You still have to give me the key to open the coffin, you said that your unique craftsmanship can make the brothers miserable." ”

Wan Yongkun can hear it clearly, this time he understands it, presumably the coffins in Li Village are all made by dumb people, and these coffins also have secret locks, which can be opened and closed freely, it is really unimaginable, the so-called everything must have a causal connection, he has a long insight this time.

Beiting has just arrived, and it seems that there are still a lot of inside things that I don't know.

The mute suddenly raised the firewood knife fiercely, facing Zhang Jin, not only frightened Zhang Jin, but also confused Wan Yongkun, did he want to kill people?

Just when everyone was stunned, the dumb man suddenly took the firewood knife and pointed in the direction of the statues discarded by Zhang Jin: "Ah, ah!"

Zhang Jin suddenly woke up like a dream: "Dumb brother...... You mean to say that the dead woman is the key?!"

The mute man nodded expressionlessly, as if revealing a big secret, his heart must be struggling and helpless.

Zhang Jin rushed over happily, carefully picked up a few scattered statues from the grass, and then carried them around with his clothes, he seemed to remember something, turned around and ran back, and asked inquiringly: "Dumb brother, what should I do with that magic stick?" He knows about this, in case he tells the police......

The dumb man coldly drew a cross with a firewood knife, and the fools understood that this was a killing without mercy.

Wan Yongkun was shocked, listening to what they meant, Xun Yuanchun seemed to be involved in this matter, and in his impression, Luoshui Village was just such a god. He thought about it, and unconsciously used a little force in his hand, the dumb man's ears moved, but he didn't make a sound, but Zhang Jin nodded, put on his hood and hat again with one hand, and hurriedly left the depression with his head down, without looking back.

When Zhang Jin's back gradually disappeared, the mute man still stood in place.

This stop is more than half an hour.

Wan Yongkun thought that this time he had gained a lot, and he also planned to leave here, but at this moment, the dumb man suddenly let out a few more roars of "ah, ah".

There was a hint of anger in the roar, as if summoning something.

Wan Yongkun didn't know why, and he didn't want to care too much, so he slowly slipped down from the other side of the branch, his movements were as light as a tanuki, and he must not alarm anyone.

"Whoosh-poof!" A strong wind flew towards the big tree where Wan Yongkun was hiding, it was a dumb man's firewood knife, this iron tool weighing several catties was actually used as a secret weapon by the dumb man, deeply embedded in the trunk of the tree.

The force was so great that the trunk of the tree seemed to tremble, and the knife was only half a meter away from Wan Yongkun.

It seemed that he was discovered by a dumb man with keen ears and eyes, Wan Yongkun was not too flustered, he calmly stretched his clothes, and walked out from behind the tree with an indifferent expression.

He thought: This is the end of the matter, let's arrest this dangerous guy today.

The theft of the Guanyin statue has also come to light!
