Lao Cai is actually a very good storyteller, his ups and downs, his foreshadowing, very appropriate, must often hang this story on his lips, so that I have some doubts about its authenticity. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Although he said and changed back to the authentic Chongqing dialect, with his expression and strokes, it did not affect my understanding of the story at all.

And when it comes to the strange events that happened in the alleyway, it is obvious that his interest is like the hot pot soup boiling next to him, and the taste is strong to the peak.

For example, some workers heard someone crying in the depths of the roadway, but it was ethereal and looming. Lao Cai took a few bold workers, followed the sound, searched all the way, and soon walked, the crying became men and women, old and young I don't know how many people's crying, one after another, reflecting each other, I don't know how many, I don't know what the crying is, and with the echo symphony, people are terrified to hear, so I have to hurry back.

For example, some workers will see a small lantern in the distance in the alleyway, moving slowly, if you follow it, the lantern will also move forward, always maintaining the initial distance. And if people keep staring at the lantern, they will have an urge to catch up, and others can't stop them. Among Lao Cai's group, there was also one missing, and it is said that he chased the lantern down, but never came back. Fear is always more powerful than curiosity, and no one dares to go down the alley alone after that.

Also, that year, the project was in early winter, and the temperature in the air-raid shelter was very low, but sometimes, the lunch brought by the workers was put out in the morning, and when the lid was opened, it was like it had been left for several months, completely rotten, and emitted a foul smell. Later, the workers did not dare to bring the lunch boxes into the bomb shelter. Even so, some people often complain about why the meals prepared by the family always forget to put salt, and there is no taste at all. Lao Cai also encountered it twice, and he silently threw away the meal, because the meal was made by himself, and it was impossible for him not to put salt.

Similar things continue to spread among the workers, and they are slowly being added to the vinegar, and the more evil they spread. Some workers began to excuse themselves from coming to work under the pretext of illness, and more began to ask the factory leaders to send some cigarettes and alcohol, and asked to be transferred back to the factory to work. In desperation, Lao Cai simply arranged for workers to block the roadway where accidents often occurred with earth and stones, and these strange things slowly disappeared.

Lao Cai later asked some old people who lived in the area, and learned that more than 10,000 people were suffocated to death in the air-raid shelter in the Japanese air raid that caused the Chongqing tragedy, and these bones were buried in the area from the middle of the mountain to the Hualong Bridge, and the grave stretched for several miles. Later, several small stupas were built there to overhaul these souls.

The Futu Pass rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty on the Goose Ridge was later renamed Fotu Pass, and it was also because Zhang Xianzhong slaughtered the city at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and there were more than 100 families left in Chongqing, and most of the innocent people who died were buried here. On the surface, Fotu Pass is a military pass, but in fact, it is a deterrent to resentful spirits, and there are still many Buddhist carvings on the rock wall.

Hearing these legends, Lao Cai's spine was chilled for a while, but fortunately, the project was over soon, and for the next thirty years, he was reluctant to enter the air-raid shelter in Goose Ridge. On the contrary, when I got older, I wanted to open some more, but I couldn't resist the temptation of hot pot, and became a frequent customer of Dongzi hot pot. In Lao Cai's view, Dongzi hot pot has a resounding reputation in Chongqing and has endured for a long time, not because tens of thousands of unjust souls at the foot of Erling Mountain are good, and the restaurant has collapsed, and even the aroma of hot pot can't be smelled, right?

As he spoke, he dragged Boss Chen and asked him: "Do you dare to say that you have opened a Dongzi hot pot for more than ten years and have never received paper money?" ”

Lao Cai's story is the same as the hot pot in front of us, it looks spicy and abnormal, and I don't dare to touch it if I haven't eaten it, but once I sit down and eat two chopsticks, I feel that the aftertaste is endless.

But Director Qian obviously didn't pay attention to these strange things, and kept beckoning us to drink and eat, and took the time to whisper in my ear, "Lao Chang, Chongqing people love to put on the dragon gate array, you listen to what he said has a nose and eyes, not necessarily he saw it with his own eyes, there are many such stories in Chongqing, what a pair of embroidered shoes, what Tang Jiatuo floating corpse, what red-clothed people, listen to it, don't take it seriously." ”

When the diners had dispersed, we left our seats and headed back to the hotel, where it was late at night but still brightly lit. The night in Chongqing is like a girl in a thin veil, mysterious and abnormal.

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhang picked us up at Eeling, and before we had time to go up the hill to enjoy the view, we went directly to the bank's large conference room. More than an hour before the briefing on the case, the leaders of the bank and the police officer in charge of the case introduced the case, and there was nothing new about it. The only thing that attracted me was that the comrades of the city bureau introduced that they monitored all the gold sales outlets and precious metal processing factories in Chongqing, and found no stolen gold, and they suspected that the gold was still hidden somewhere indoors, after all, more than 100 kilograms of gold were not so easy to get out.

After the briefing, Xiao Lei, on behalf of the Special Case Investigation Division, made a preliminary investigation and analysis, and listed typical cases of bank theft at home and abroad, which attracted my attention.

From the analysis of the cases of domestic and foreign treasury theft cases collected by Xiao Lei, there are no more than three methods, the first is to dig the tunnel, which is the simplest and most rude method, and it is also the most commonly used. In the case of the theft of a vault in Fuxin, Liaoning Province two years ago, the thieves rented a storefront opposite the bank, ostensibly to repair electrical appliances, but actually excavated a tunnel of nearly 100 meters, and spent a month breaking through the outer wall of the underground vault and stealing more than 5 million yuan in cash. It was a sensation because the thieves broke through the walls in broad daylight, entered the vault, and swaggered to carry the money away.

But this method obviously does not apply to Chongqing, because there are no signs of damage to the inside of the vault.

The second method, in fact, is not complicated, that is, the guards steal themselves. In Boston, USA, a bank robbery occurred that shocked the world when it was 80 years old, and the robbers stole gold and jewelry worth as much as 80 million US dollars. Insiders of the bank have mastered and controlled the security system of the bank's vault and the exact time of each cash truck entering and leaving the vault. On the way to the bank, the robbers hijacked the cash truck and the thieves pretended to be security guards and entered the bank vault.

The accomplices inside the bank cut off the closed-circuit surveillance system in the vault, cooperated with the thieves to transport the gold and jewelry to the cash truck, and helped them complete all the exit procedures, and the thieves drove the cash truck away from the scene easily.

Of course, this second approach is clearly not applicable here. On the one hand, the internal investigation of the banking system has been carried out, and the person who holds the key to the vault is not suspected of committing a crime, and the keys are kept in a safe place, and the door of the vault was not opened at all during the time period when the gold was stolen, as can be proved by the surveillance video.

The third method, according to Xiao Lei's explanation, should be called domesticating animals and stealing. The most well-known example occurs in the United Kingdom. In the fifties, a burglar studied the structural drawings of the bank building in detail and found that there was a one-foot square ventilation duct in the bank's underground vault that was open to the outside world. The monkey he domesticated took a long time to break the wire fence in the ventilation pipe, and every night he got into it, brought some cash out, and committed hundreds of crimes, because each time the monkey only brought out a pile of banknotes, it was very inconspicuous, and the bank did not find it. It wasn't until the monkey was bumped into by a bank manager that the case came to light, but the thief had already stolen more than a million pounds.

There have been many similar thefts in the world, and in addition to monkeys, rats, parrots, crows and yellow finches have successfully entered the vault. But they all enter through ventilation ducts, so ventilation ducts are the weakest link in the vault's security system. But the number of such cases has decreased significantly in the past ten years, mainly because most bank vaults are now in newly built buildings, and the ventilation system is very secure, and small animals cannot enter.

Of course, there are cases abroad where bank staff are confused by illusion and hypnotism and enter the vault to steal, but because there is no strong evidence to confirm it, and the case has not been solved, this method can only be said to be a rumor, and it has not been listed by Xiao Lei. Xiao Lei finished classifying the case of vault theft, Director Xiao of the city bureau nodded approvingly, according to common sense, the leaders of the city bureau generally make concluding speeches, but this time I don't know whether I was attracted by Xiao Lei's analysis, or there are other work arrangements, so I was anxious to end the meeting, so I opened my mouth first.

Director Xiao affirmed Xiaolei's analysis, and believed that his research and collection work had broadened everyone's thinking about solving the case, and was very helpful to determine the general direction of the investigation, and the inference that the ventilation system was the weakest link in the bank vault, especially the vault built earlier, was very important. The person in charge of the bank shook his head and explained with a wry smile, after all, this vault was rebuilt on the basis of an old building in the past, so how could there still be original drawings?
