The woman gently stroked her left ear, her gaze gradually becoming empty.

I noticed that she was wearing a cyan earbud in her left ear.

When her expression changed, she was listening intently to the message coming from the earbuds.

"You can eat noodles in one minute." The female police officer barked in the kitchen.

"Don't worry, don't worry, people are lost, and they are not dead. Calm down, everyone has value, and they will not die until they are squeezed out of value by the enemy. Keep an eye on it, few people dare to move the stars in the sky, and it is impossible for the local gangs in Dunhuang to get close to him. Okay, let's all go back to their respective monitoring positions, and if there is an abnormality, report it first, and then take action. The woman's left index finger pressed the earbud, and the last sentence was repeated three times in a row.

I heard that the news was related to Sikong picking stars, and naturally it was also related to Gu Tingcheng, because the two were together.

When the noodles came, everyone had a large bowl full of them, and they were covered with shiitake mushrooms, fungus, fried eggs, and coriander, which tasted excellent and had a fragrant aroma.

I quietly picked up my chopsticks and prepared to eat the noodles.

"I don't want to eat, I'm full!" The woman stood up, poured a large glass of cold water, and drank it in one gulp.

Listening to the situation, Sikong Xingxing disappeared in the anti-thief pit. The stalkers of the Yellow Flower Society had no choice but to ask the woman for help.

"Let's go to the anti-thief pit!" The woman said loudly.

The female police officer and I didn't reply, and we bowed our heads and ate noodles.

"Did you hear me? Let's go to the anti-thief pit! Everyone over there disappeared, as if swallowed up by the Gobi Desert, leaving no trace. I suspect that they strayed into the quicksand manhole, sinking deeper and deeper until they finally perished. The woman could no longer maintain her original elegant and capable image, lit a cigarette, and inhaled vigorously.

"No matter how urgent things are, you have to finish eating noodles before leaving." I say.

When he called me, he had already given some kind of hint. Meng Qiao is rushing over there, at least he can start the preliminary search work in my place.

"Something happened, didn't it? Do you want me to call the police for you? The female officer asked.

The woman snorted coldly, squinting at the female officer, scoffing at the proposal.

I flicked the rim of the bowl and whispered, "Eat noodles, eat noodles." Zi said, don't say anything when you eat, don't say anything when you sleep. Don't you all remember? ”

Since the words are not speculative, it is better to eat noodles separately and talk again, I am afraid that it will hurt the harmony.

Both of them were suspicious of my performance, looked at each other, and immediately turned their faces away.

I ate a bowl of noodles for seven minutes, and within seven minutes, I had already thought of a solution.

After Gu Qingcheng disappeared, the one who was most affected was Lu Zhongguo, because the check he got would be stopped at any time, and the huge amount of money that fell from the sky immediately turned into a soap bubble.

It should be said that Lu Zhongguo is the person who hopes that Gu Tingcheng will be safe and sound and live a long life, and only when Gu Tingcheng leaves Dunhuang alive can the check be cashed, and there will be a steady stream of opportunities to make money on him in the future.

"Let's go find someone first, he is very familiar with the local situation in Dunhuang and will definitely help." I say.

Lu Zhongguo is a key chess piece, as long as he is used well, he can easily solve the game.

"Let's go separately, if you get too close to the police, you will be unlucky, especially the female police, it can make you unlucky!" The woman went downstairs with the steering wheel, complaining loudly as she walked.

The female officer picked up the bowl and drank the last mouthful of soup at the bottom of the bowl, not paying attention to the woman's words.

"We went to the anti-thief pit, the situation is a bit complicated, and it is likely to be with people. Don't follow us, something will happen. "I'm kind of to advise.

The female police officer shook her head: "I'm not afraid, the anti-thief pit is also under the jurisdiction of the Dunhuang City Public Security Bureau, we are armed police, the more dangerous the situation, the more we should rush to the front." ”

I admired her courage, I had no contact with the police before, and I had the impression that the police always acted on orders, rarely made their own decisions, and would not take the initiative to attack alone, and always acted with the large army.

"Okay, let's go together." I nodded.

The female officer went to the next room, opened and closed the drawer several times, and when she returned, she had a map in her hand.

"I guess you might need this." She said.

My eyes lit up, and I was very pleased with her empathy.

Now, the areas infested by various forces are intertwined, and I really need a detailed map of Dunhuang to help me understand the terrain and plan the whole picture.

She put away the dishes and chopsticks and spread the map on the table.

It was a 2015 version of the Dunhuang police map, with more detailed place names and road names than ordinary civilian maps, and the main routes were all marked with distances and miles according to scale.

Judging from the map, the Mogao Grottoes are 20 kilometers away from the center of Dunhuang, and the anti-thief pit is in the northwest of the Mogao Grottoes, that is, the southwest of Dunhuang.

The anti-thief pit is in the name of "pit killing anti-thief", of course, this "anti-thief" is the government's contemptuous name for the peasant rebel army.

Judging from the map, any rebel army came from the east, southeast, and south of Dunhuang, and could not have come from the west, northwest, or north. Before they arrived at the anti-thief pit, they must have passed through Dunhuang, Mogao Grottoes, Mingsha Mountain, and Crescent Spring. Therefore, after they fled Dunhuang and were besieged, the treasures carried by the army may be buried in the Mogao Grottoes, or it is more convenient to bury them in the Mogao Grottoes.

"After I joined the work, I have been to the anti-thief pit at least 100 times, all of which were to deal with disputes between villagers and outsiders. The villagers were brave, and the outsiders showed the slightest intention to hunt for treasure, and they were besieged by tailgating. On several occasions, cars from other places were smashed and underground detection instruments were snatched away, so they had to admit their planting and leave in disgrace. When the higher authorities held a telephone conference, they specifically pointed out that the anti-thief pit has a special historical origin, and the intention of outsiders to go there is obvious, so when handling disputes, we must fully consider the feelings of the villagers themselves. The female police officer explained on the side.

"In the past few years, there has not been a single news of successful treasure theft?" I asked.

The female officer nodded affirmatively: "Yes, not a single one." There are many robbery holes around the anti-thief pit, and in addition to the historical remnants, more than 20 new ones are added every year, all of which are abandoned halfway. Every time a villager makes a report, the police will rush to the scene to check and take photos for archiving, which has become a routine. ”

I posted a place on the map called "Xia Family House", which I haven't seen on other maps.

The name of the place is basically in the very center of the anti-thief pit, circled by a red pen.

"What is this place?" I asked.

The female police officer smiled: "It doesn't have any special significance, it's a fixed parking spot after the police car arrives." It is an ancestral hall, I don't know which big family left it from before, and the history is unknown. There are two old villagers who have no children and no daughters living in it, and they are also guarding the door and cleaning. The police went over there to deal with the situation, and according to the new regulations of the bureau, they were absolutely not allowed to eat in the village, so they could only go to the Xia family's house, bring their own food, and borrow the stove and hot water inside to solve the lunch problem. ”

Here, I made a huge mistake by not making a wider association with the word "Xia", but only believing the female police officer's explanation, which almost ended up causing a catastrophe.

It's none of your business, hang high.

If it is about oneself, change will be chaotic.

I care about Gu Tingcheng, so as soon as something happens to her, my mind is messed up, my heart is impetuous, and I don't have the energy to dig deep into some key clues.

In fact, since I found out that Lu Zhongguo is a descendant of the Western Xia Kingdom, I should be extremely sensitive to keywords such as "Yelu, Xia, Western Xia, Xiao", etc., and analyze around these to quickly analyze the core of the problem.

"You're familiar with that over there, too?" I asked again.

The female police officer shook her head: "Generally, I am only familiar with the entry and exit routes, and I don't really have much contact with the villagers." Let's tell you the truth, the villagers over there are very shrewd, although their education is not high, but they are all experienced, and they are eager to squeeze all the stones and eggs on the Gobi Desert out of oil. In one of the more serious conflicts I have dealt with, several tomb robbers have been looted, and even the gold teeth in their mouths and the jade talismans embedded in their belts have been looted by the villagers. When making a record, the tomb robbers cried and complained, and the villagers were blackened, and they never dared to set foot in the anti-thief pit in the future. Colleagues often say that with such villagers guarding, it is of little significance for the police to go or not, and it is also for the villagers to deal with the aftermath, and they should be beaten, scolded, arrested, and released...... All the work was done ahead of schedule by the villagers. The female officer said.

In the process of reading the map, I called Gu Tingcheng's phone several times, but I couldn't get through.

"Don't worry, the villagers know everything they do, and they will never cause any deaths. Even if your friend is lost there, there will only be a slight loss of property, and there will be no danger to his life. The female police officer sensed my anxiety and immediately whispered comfort.

"Wang, Wang, Wang", a dog on the west floor suddenly barked.

The female police officer reacted very quickly, slid to the right, and raised her hand to turn off the lights.

It was a wolf dog, and from the analysis of the fierce and loud barking, the dog had reached adulthood and belonged to the large fierce dogs that were forbidden in the community.

"That's a police dog, we deliberately arranged it. It is sensitive to firearms and uniforms, and barks at the presence of a civilian gun bearer. The female police officer explained.

With a click, she drew her gun in the dark, and the sound of the bullet being loaded was heard immediately.

Together, we hid ourselves on the side of the curtain in the west window of the dining room and carefully looked out.

Between the two buildings is a narrow road, barely large enough for two cars to meet.

There was no one on the road, but the reflection of firearms was faintly flashing in the green belt on both sides.

"It's the enemies in the hospital who are coming up again, about six." I silently counted twice to determine the number of people on the other side.

It's a safe house for the police, and there must be spare weapons. However, that is a violation of the regulations on the use of police equipment, and the female police officer does not take the initiative to provide it, and I do not want to make it difficult for others.

I left the dining room and entered the kitchen by the light of the street lamp outside the window, and chose a kitchen knife with a pointed stainless steel handle, which I gently pinned to my belt.

"Don't set off the alarm, don't call the police, don't shoot, don't go out, don't help, don't worry in the slightest." I said six "don'ts" to the female officer in quick succession to soothe her emotions.

As long as the police do not intervene, any fight can be carried out in secret, and the characterization is weakened and turned into an ordinary fight.

"Okay, I trust you." The female police officer said.

People are in the dark, but her eyes are shining, like a beautiful cheetah ready to attack.

"I haven't asked your name, can you tell me?" I laughed.

"Jiang Xue - 'Jiang Xue' of 'Lonely Boat Lady, Fishing for Cold River Snow Alone'." She replied.

"It's a beautiful name, and it's as its name suggests." I whispered my compliments.

The police uniform hides her pretty and smart side, and in the process of getting along, she brings me more and more surprises, like an empathetic assistant, always one step ahead of her and doing what I want but don't say.

"Master said that this name is not domineering, and he will not be a good policeman in the future, and he has suggested that I change my name until now!" Jiang Xue shook her head and replied.

"Western God Catcher" Zhao Wei Han has not shown up for a long time, and he doesn't know where to hide.

"No way, whether you can be a good policeman or not has nothing to do with your name, the few male policemen I know are all women's names, and they still sit in the position of regional chief superintendent, and no one has ever suggested that they change their names." I say.

This is the truth, the chief superintendent of the two districts of Causeway Bay and Tsuen Wan is a female name, one is called Ye Hannu, the English name is "Hannei", and the other is called Liang Xiaojiao, the English name is "Qiao". Both of them have won the Hong Kong military championship, they are real men, and they are friends of Lei Dongtian.

"I really want to be a good policeman and contribute to the safety of Dunhuang. I hope that I, like the people you men, no matter what their names, will eventually learn to get ahead with their true talents. Jiang Xue smiled.

We chatted calmly while staring at the situation outside, braking quietly and waiting for the rabbit.

Ten minutes after Jiang Xue turned off the lights, the people lying in the green belt couldn't hold back and began to act.

The six people were divided into two groups, three people went to the north side of the building, which should have planned to attack from the main entrance, and three people went to the south side of the building, probably choosing the balcony to attack.

The west window is about twenty-five steps away from the residential building opposite, and an octagonal pavilion five or six meters high was built behind the building, and there was a section of the verandah on each wing of the pavilion, about fifteen steps long.

I realized that the enemy must have left an invisible ambush here by bypassing the west window - long-range snipers.
