Chapter 41: The Discovery of Gold

I complained in my heart: Cut, what's there to drag, isn't it just a broken elder? To put it nicely, you are an elder, and if you put it mildly, you might as well be a security guard? At least they still have a salary, and you have a yarn!

This clue was also broken, and I was even more clueless.

When I returned to Tang's house again, I sat in the house for a whole noon, trying to sort out the affairs of the past two days.

A little bird flew by in the sky, and when I slapped my head, it was like a mouthful, and I couldn't find anything by looking at it with my head like this, maybe now it's time to discuss it with the patriarch.

Thinking of this, I ran to the patriarch again and talked to him, this time just me and him.

"Say, what are you looking for me?" The patriarch, although he looks quite serious on the surface, I know that he actually has a very good heart, otherwise he would not have been able to become the patriarch.

I thought for a while and said, "Our village doesn't have a large population, so it's a big deal to die!"

The patriarch nodded: "That's right, our village is basically isolated from the world, everyone in the village knows each other, and the relationship is usually very good, not to mention the dead, but there are very few quarrels in ordinary times, and everyone values affection very much." ”

I nodded, and I could see that the villagers were all very united, let's take a few of us arrested! At that time, we had just entered Tang's house, and a group of people rushed behind them to surround us, and it could be seen that everyone was very united, but I also saw another problem.

That's a matter of timing, why is it so coincidental, I checked the time of death of the deceased.

From the moment we entered the yard, I noticed the tea on the table in the yard, a whole pot of freshly brewed tea was placed outside, and now it was summer, if it was to cool to only a little temperature, it would not be too short.

It can be said that the time of death of the deceased is at least more than half an hour, or even longer.

At least half an hour had passed by the time we arrived, and if they had heard the shouting before they came in, it would have been before us, not after us.

This illustrates another problem, that is, the murderer is deliberate, and he is now lacking a scapegoat, so when he saw that we had just entered with the front foot, the back foot began to shout people, and then directly arrested us.

Therefore, the person who called the person at that time was seriously suspected, even if he was not the murderer, he had something to do with the murderer.

"Patriarch, do you remember who was the first to shout?" I asked.

The patriarch thought about it: "I can't remember clearly, there were several people shouting outside at that time, and the dead were a big deal for our village, as soon as everyone heard someone shouting for their lives, everyone panicked, and they all rushed to Lao Tang's house, and then they found you." You mean, whoever shouts first is the murderer?"

I didn't expect the patriarch to be quite smart, and he could understand it at a point.

I nodded with great certainty, yes, I ruled out all the impossible outcomes, and what was left was the truth, even if it was unbelievable.

However, when the patriarch heard me say this, he refused to believe it.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible to be our own people, we are usually like a family, no one will want to kill Lao Tang and his wife, impossible, absolutely impossible. The patriarch said.

I knew it was hard for him to accept the result, but I didn't expect it to be my own person at first.

I always thought it was the people who were chasing us, but when I thought about it, it wasn't right.

This is the only way to explain it.

"You don't have direct evidence, so why should I believe you? Also, after all that, you haven't made it clear who did it?" said the patriarch.

That's true, these are my speculations, so I came to the patriarch, hoping that he would help me.

"Can you do me a favor and get the news out first, so that I will let the real culprit appear before dark. "Before we are sure who it is, the only thing we can do is to create rumors and make the real culprit messy, and I believe that he will mess with himself, and once he messes up, he will be finished.

"How?" asked the patriarch.

"You just say that the real culprit has been investigated, and let everyone come to the ancestral hall tomorrow when it gets dark. I said.

The patriarch agreed, and he asked someone to do it.

The next thing I have to do is wait, wait for someone to come to my door, everyone who comes to me to inquire is suspicious, and then use the elimination method, coupled with subtle observation, I believe that the real culprit will soon surface.

After coming out of the patriarch's house, I was ready to go back to the Tang family to sleep, I believe that the news will spread soon, and I can wait and see what happens.

When I passed by the door of Elder Tang's old house, I heard him arguing with a woman, which was probably as follows.

"Old Tang, your chickens have eaten up all the vegetables in my field, why don't you care?" Elder Tang is a neighbor of this woman, and she has a vegetable patch in her house, and it is fenced off with bamboo.

I looked into the field again, and sure enough, the vegetables in the field were bustling, and it was indeed miserable.

Elder Tang had a cold face at all times, as if someone owed him money and didn't pay it back.

"You said that my chicken ate it, is there any evidence?" said Elder Tang.

"It's not your chicken, is it my own family, how can you be like this. "I don't think this woman is a messer.

"I'm not a chicken, what's the use of you arguing with me, you have the ability to find a chicken. After Elder Tang finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the house, and the woman was so angry that she had no choice but to go home.

Seeing this scene, I suddenly thought of what the patriarch had just said, he said that the people in the village are very harmonious, even if there are very few small quarrels, but no matter how I look at it, I feel that the hatred between these two families has never been less?

Shaking my head helplessly and ridiculously, I walked away.

After thinking about it, since Elder Tang is at home at this time, then I shouldn't be discovered if I secretly go to the back mountain again now!

Although the news was released by the patriarch, then I have to have real evidence, otherwise it will be me who will be embarrassed tomorrow night, to be honest, in fact, I don't have any bottom in my heart.

Standing at the entrance of the back mountain again, the monument was still striking and invincible, and after I looked around again to make sure that there was no one, I walked in.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, I quickened my pace, and as I guessed, there were people here, and more than once.

How to describe this mountain, there are few trees, and the stones are also very huge pieces of pieces, about ten minutes after walking I found that there is a cave inside, there seem to be traces of people living in the cave, there are firewood, ash traces, and there is actually a pot, it seems that people who come here are not a short stay, not only often come, but sometimes will stay overnight.

This makes people wonder what exactly is in this place, and what is the purpose of this person?

The cave seemed to be very deep, as if someone was digging what here, because in the grass in the corner of the cave I found tools for digging, as well as a cart to transport stones.

Looks like I have to go down and look at it now, it's dark in the cave, I turned on the flashlight on my phone, and slowly walked deeper into the cave.

I found that the material of the stone in the cave is very special, not like ordinary stones, the color is grayish-white, I grabbed a handful of sand on both sides of the cave with my hands, the particles are relatively fine, very light, when I entered the cave just now I found that this is an extinct volcano, through various signs, I have a bold guess, there is a very high possibility of mine, and it is not an ordinary mine, it may be a gold mine.

And the person who digs the hole also found out about this problem, so he will come here to dig secretly.

On the ground, I found a piece of fabric that looked ordinary, it should have been hanging somewhere to tear and fall off when digging a hole, this is a very important clue, I put away the fabric and hurried outside.

It was already evening, and maybe it was time for that person to come again, and if it happened to be in trouble, I left as fast as I could, but luckily no one found out.

I had just returned to Tang's house, and sure enough, someone came to visit, it was the woman who had quarreled with Elder Tang just now.

He brought me some fruit, "Where is the young man?" the woman said politely.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked.

"It's nothing, how can you say that you are also a guest from afar, someone must do your best to be a landlord! This is an orange from your own tree, you can make do with it!"

I looked at the oranges, and they were red.

"Thank you, Auntie, why don't you sit down for a while?" I said.
