Chapter 168: Motive for Killing
With a full stomach full of doubts, Wang Shao struggled to sit up, tried to move his hands and feet, and slowly paced to the door of the bamboo house.
In any case, we have to figure out what this place is.
I still remember the last time I was taken back to the Kokang Army garrison and woke up, the bamboo house on stilts was also empty, but there was a Xiao Bing who was waiting for him to act as a translator at the door, but I didn't expect Jiang Haofeng to arrive in time.
Will there still be people waiting at the door this time?
Wang Shao's guess was correct, when he walked to the door of the bamboo house, a figure wearing a light-colored camouflage uniform came into view, it was a Wa soldier with a semi-automatic submachine gun on his shoulder.
This light-colored camouflage uniform is no stranger to Wang Shao, who was attacked by wild boars on the side of Qingxigou and then met these soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms.
Seeing Wang Shao walking out of the bamboo house, the camouflage-uniformed soldier showed surprise on his face and said something casually.
Hearing these words that seemed to be in English, Wang Shao was a little dumbfounded.
Back then, whenever he was studying English, Wang Shao would choose to skip class, because what he hated most was to take English class.
At this moment, he could not understand what the soldier was saying, and he realized how ridiculous that decision was back then.
The soldier's face was smiling, but it was a wry smile.
He made a gesture of "please follow me" to Wang Shao, turned around and walked downstairs on stilts.
Following closely behind the soldiers, Wang Shao looked around as he walked, and was surprised to find that the collapsed dry firewood pile was on the edge of the grass not far away.
He is still in Xiaoqing's drug den.
Looking at the sky that was a little westerly away, Wang Shao made the first judgment.
While making a judgment, Wang Shao suddenly remembered the tragic situation of Dongfang Huanglong, and couldn't help but take a look at the pile of dry firewood.
At this time, the dry pyre has been reduced to ashes, and only a few sparks have not been completely extinguished, and they are floating up with the mountain wind.
But there is no trace of a skeleton on it.
Where did the body of the Oriental Yellow Dragon go?
I remember that before fainting, Dongfang Huanglong fell into the grass along with the collapsed dry firewood and died in the fire, but there was no trace in the ashes of the dry firewood in front of him.
Even if the Oriental Yellow Dragon turns to ashes along with the dry firewood, there should be traces to follow.
It seems that the answer can only be revealed when I see Jiang Haofeng.
Putting away his sadness, Wang Shao followed closely behind the soldier and walked up to the largest stilted building in the middle.
Wang Shao remembered very well that Su Ba and Mandian brought them here, and they went directly to the largest stilted building in front of them, which was Xiaoqing's bamboo house.
When he walked into the bamboo house on stilts, Wang Shao found that Xiaoqing was not inside, and the long table was empty, only a colorful map.
The position where Xiaoqing was sitting before was replaced by Jiang Haofeng.
Seeing Wang Shao walking into the bamboo house with a suspicious face, Jiang Haofeng didn't say too much greetings, and said bluntly: "I know you must have a lot of questions to ask me, but before that, I want to ask you a question." ”
"Where did Brother Huang Long's body go?" Wang Shao ignored Jiang Haofeng's inquiry and asked casually.
In Wang Shao's mind, Dongfang Huanglong is no less than his reborn parents, and he is eager to know the specific situation.
A trace of gloom climbed on Jiang Haofeng's face, and sighed softly, Jiang Haofeng replied: "Xiao Shao, you should know by now that I was going to strongly oppose you coming to Bangkang, now do you regret your previous sloppiness?" ”
It's not just regret, Wang Shao at this moment is simply regretful.
If he hadn't insisted on going his own way and insisting on going to Bangkang to find Shi Jingxiang's whereabouts, how could Jiang Haofeng think of taking this opportunity to find Tu Zhiqiang, and how could Dongfang Huanglong be entrusted with the important task of being the buyer who led the snake out of the hole this time.
In other words, Wang Shao's insistence on finding Shi Jingxiang indirectly killed Dongfang Huanglong, who once had a life-saving grace for Wang Shao.
Jiang Haofeng's question made Wang Shao feel guilty, but he was unwilling to make more confessions about it, but buried this guilt deep in his heart.
Similarly, Wang Shao was noncommittal to Jiang Haofeng's question, and did not answer positively, but just repeated what he had just said: "Brother Haofeng, you know that I am sad now, I just want to know, where is Brother Huanglong's body?" ”
Staring at Wang Shao's face for ten seconds, Jiang Haofeng let out a light sigh and simply explained the situation to Wang Shao in detail.
Starting from the border checkpoint, after Jiang Haofeng and Leng Yueqiu went to the Shan Eastern Alliance Army together, they did not find any trace of Tu Zhiqiang, but they unexpectedly learned that Tu Zhiqiang quietly sneaked to Bangkang.
If Tu Zhiqiang arrived in Bangkang first, it would be unfavorable to Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong, and Jiang Haofeng rushed to Bangkang non-stop.
Worried that there would be an accident, after consulting his superiors, Jiang Haofeng led the soldiers of the Wa State squad to rush to Bangkang overnight, and under the guidance of Leng Yueqiu, he found Bangkang's largest drug-selling den, Guess Wang's boss's den.
According to Leng Yueqiu's report, this is the place where Tu Zhiqiang sells drugs.
But when they arrived here, they unexpectedly found the mourning hall of Boss Chai Wang, and saw the thrilling scene of Wang Shao being thrown into the sea of fire.
In desperation, Jiang Haofeng used the local dialect to intimidate them to stop, and fired a warning shot.
After saving Wang Shao, Jiang Haofeng led a small team of soldiers to control all the men who committed the murder, and immediately conducted a surprise interrogation of Xiaoqing.
Since this is the hinterland of Bang Kang, and there are many bosses like Chaiwang around, the actions of the Wa Bang team should be as secretive as possible, so as not to alarm other organizations.
After a surprise interrogation, Xiaoqing finally confessed the whole story.
It turned out that long before the arrival of Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong, Tu Zhiqiang had arrived at Bangkang one step ahead and came to Chai Wang's den.
According to Bangkang's trading procedures, all buyers who come here to buy medicine must first go to the stilted buildings to have a good time before talking about business.
This is also the unwritten rule of trading.
Because in these stilted buildings, there are girls from different parts of Shijie, who provide special services for buyers who come to do transactions.
If it is an undercover pretending buyer, he usually shows his feet when he is happy with the girl, and when he is happy with the girl, the buyer will be stripped naked by the girls, and he will naturally not be able to hide any secrets.
If an undercover identity is discovered, the fake buyer will be unsuspected, knocked unconscious, and then tortured to death.
However, if it is a real buyer, they will be treated as a guest, and after they are comfortable and happy with the girls, they will be met by the boss himself to discuss the specific transaction.
When Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong arrived at the stilted building, it happened to be the time when Tu Zhiqiang and the boss went to discuss specific matters.
Originally, Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong would also be sent to have fun with the girls and enjoy the unique hospitality here, but they caused trouble because of the short guns given by the military.
At that time, this batch of guns was bought by Chai Wang from abroad, but because there was an undercover agent to order water, they were blocked by the military and were all confiscated halfway.
Since Xiaoqing had just started to follow Chaiwang's boss, this business was Xiaoqing's first order after arriving here, and Xiaoqing was deeply impressed.
So much so that after many years, when Xiaoqing saw this short gun again, he could recognize it at a glance.
After recognizing that the short gun belonged to the military, Xiaoqing was about to interrogate Wang Shao and the others, but his subordinates ran to report in a panic, saying that Boss Guess Wang had an accident.
Ignoring the origin of the stairs of the two short guns, Xiaoqing ordered Wang Shao and the two to be put in a cage under the stilted building first, and then felt that the stilted building where Boss Wang had an accident.
Walking into the stilted building, I saw that Chaiwang was covered with injuries and was dying in a pool of blood.
Seeing Xiaoqing coming, Chai Wang tried his best and told Xiaoqing with difficulty that Tu Zhiqiang killed him, but the motive was unknown.
Without waiting for Xiaoqing and the others to make corresponding rescues, Chai Wang swallowed Zuihou with hatred.
Furious Xiaoqing vowed to catch Tu Zhiqiang with his own hands, ask him about his motive for killing, and then dig out Tu Zhiqiang's heart and worship Chai Wang's unjust soul.
In fact, it is not the first time that Tu Zhiqiang has bought medicine in Ahri Chai Wang's den, and Xiaoqing is not a stranger to this person.
But no matter how hard Xiaoqing racked his brains, he couldn't figure out why Tu Zhiqiang took such a big risk to assassinate Chai Wang in the stilted building.
According to the local customs of Bangkang, the soul of a person who died unjustly cannot rest in peace, and a person who has just died must be found to be buried with him, and a celestial burial ceremony is performed to cremate the person's body.
Because only by cremation of the body can the soul be able to get out of the body. can accompany Chai Wang's unjust soul to ascend to heaven together.
And rituals like this can only be done in secret, otherwise they won't work.
Xiaoqing, who was distressed by the loss of Chai Wang, sprinkled his resentment on Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong.
In Xiaoqing's opinion, Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong are like two plague gods, she is ready to suffocate the two of them together, and then hold a secret celestial burial ceremony for Chai Wang.
As for the specific origin of those short guns, Xiaoqing didn't bother to ask again, compared with Chai Wang's unjust death, those short guns didn't matter at all.
also deserved Wang Shao and Dongfang Huanglong to be unlucky, as soon as they arrived here, they met the boss of Chaiwang and was killed by Tu Zhiqiang.
Wang Shao was already clear about the situation behind, Jiang Haofeng did not make a detailed explanation, lit a cigarette and stopped narrating.
After listening to Jiang Haofeng's detailed introduction, Wang Shao couldn't help but gasp.
Thinking back on the previous things, Wang Shaoxin had palpitations, if Jiang Haofeng hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that he would also be like Dongfang Huanglong, and he would have made Chai Wang's funeral offerings.
Thinking of this, Wang Shao casually asked: "Brother Haofeng, the ...... of Brother Huanglong"
Wang Shao didn't say the next words, he couldn't bear to say those two words.
Because in Wang Shao's heart, Dongfang Huanglong has always been alive.
"Then don't worry, we have collected his body and escorted him back to China, as well as his certificates, all of them will be sent back." Jiang Haofeng also skillfully avoided those two unlucky words, and responded in a low voice: "I have applied to the higher authorities to posthumously record the title of martyr of Dongfang Huanglong, and posthumously record the first-class merit. ”
