◎Chapter 35: The Mother of Memories

A few days later, Tulong and Bao bought gifts and drove Professor Liang to the orphanage. When the car drove to the front of the orphanage, it did not stop, and Professor Liang told Professor Liang that when they returned to Daze County from the provincial capital, they found signs on the side of the road at intervals, and the words on them were worth seeing.

The car drove far away, turned around again and entered the territory of Daze County, and the banner read, "Welcome to Daze County, the capital of bamboo". Straight ahead, every few hundred meters there is an iron banner with some text that is neither an advertisement nor a slogan:

Passing drivers should pay attention to the fact that there is a private orphanage ahead! ——Daze County Traffic Police Brigade Xuan

The dean is a lonely old man who has adopted 350 orphans so far. -- One hundred and nine orphans in the orphanage of the Daze County Civil Affairs Bureau were admitted to the university and six were graduate students. ——The Daze County Education Bureau announced that if you want to donate money or materials, or buy flowers planted in the orphanage, please get off here. -- Daze County Party Committee and County Government Xuan

Professor Liang, Hualong, and Bao Chu got out of the car. This is an inconspicuous courtyard on the side of the highway, there is an arc-shaped sign above the iron gate, with the book "Sunshine Welfare Institute", covering an area of about five acres. There is an iron merit box in front of the door, and a bell and hammer are hung next to it. Over the decades, this merit box has been drenched in the rain and rusted in the wind, including the bell and hammer next to it, which is already rusty, but despite this, it is still shining - we know that some light is not visible to the naked eye, but to be seen with the heart.

What is more precious than gold in this world?

What is more shining in this world than gold?

There is an old locust tree in the orphanage, the sun is shining all over the courtyard, the locust tree branches are luxuriant, and the wind blows, singing through the ages!

Mrs. Luo took out a few small ponies and put them under the tree, and she told Professor Liang and the others about her experience. Mrs. Luo is in her last years, she lost her mother when she was young, lost her father when she was young, never went to school, and soon after marrying in Daze County, her husband was unfortunately killed in the mountain quarrying, it was 1978, she made a living by picking up rags and farming, and it was from then that time on, she adopted six abandoned orphans with her meager income. Since then, this hard-working woman has adopted many orphans, many of whom were picked up in the garbage bin near the hospital, and after the newspapers and television stations reported their touching deeds, the society donated money and materials, and the Sunshine Welfare Institute was also set up at that time. Later, Mrs. Luo sold popsicles, opened a tofu factory, and created a handicraft-style glove factory. However, this kind old man is not good at business, and as more and more orphans are adopted, her financial pressure is increasing, and life is extremely difficult.

One day, a driver carrying an official to the orphanage rang the bell with a hammer but did not donate anything.

Mrs. Luo expressed her anger at the mischievous driver, saying, "Go away, I have hundreds of children, and I don't have time to answer you." ”

The official got out of the car and said, "I don't donate money or materials, but I have a sentence that is worth a thousand gold." ”

Mrs. Luo waved her hand and said, "I don't have time, I don't have time to listen." ”

The driver persuaded: "Auntie, just delay your time for five minutes, this idea is definitely worth more than donating money and things." ”

The official claimed that Mrs. Luo had five acres of land, and the income from growing crops was very meager, and if she could grow flowers and plants for sale, and occupy the geographical advantage of the side of the highway, passing drivers would rush to buy them, and the money would definitely be rolling in, and the orphanage would be able to get out of the predicament. Mrs. Luo felt that there was some truth, but she said that she was not good at business and did not know the price.

The official said: "Why do you have to mark the price, people's conscience has its own scale, you plant flowers, put them on the side of the road, you don't have to mark the price, you take as much money as the customer wants to give you, rest assured, no one will give you less." ”

Mrs. Luo said, "Who are you?" ”

The driver introduced: "This is the new county party secretary of Daze County!" ”

The secretary of the county party committee did two things for Mrs. Luo. First, he sent several technicians to train flower seedling planting techniques, and rebuilt the orphanage into a seedling flower base

Earth; Second, he erected some iron-framed banners on the side of the highway in Daze County, and specially asked that the words on them should not be written too officially, but should be expressed in oral language.

People who travel long distances will see something unusual if they are observant. For example, a county has greened barren mountains with paint, and a city has built beautiful walls on the side of a highway that look like part of a villa, and then behind the walls are dilapidated rural houses.

There is information that can keep us thinking for a long time until we ask why.

Professor Liang said to Mrs. Luo: "You are older than me, let me call you eldest sister, this time, we are not policemen, we just came to visit you, I want to know something, how did you dig the gold bars?" Sister Luo, don't worry, what you say won't be written into any police report, let's just chat a few words. ”

Mrs. Luo said: "This matter is mysterious, I planted flowers in the greenhouse, dug the ground and dug up a pile of gold bars, and human bones. ”

Professor Liang nodded and said, "Sister Luo must be over seventy this year, can you still remember that before the liberation, this place was shot and killed?" ”

Mrs. Luo said: "I will be eighty years old in three months, I heard my father-in-law who passed away say that before liberation, there would be a war, a sin, but there were no fewer dead, ** the communist army fought back and forth, the last time, shot a lot of people, in the bamboo forest of the house, **let the prisoners in the prison dig a deep pit, and then those prisoners were killed and buried, they ran, just met the communist army, the fight was really ruthless, one day and one night,** all died, and they were also buried in the pit, here is a pit of a thousand people! ”

After the special case team went back, Bao Chu said: "I reasoned and analyzed that they ordered the prisoners to dig pits, bury the looted gold bars, and then shoot the prisoners, intending to find them in the future, but they didn't expect an encounter and were completely wiped out, and there were not many people who knew that the gold bars were buried here, maybe there was only one left, that person fled to Taiwan, and decades later, his son, that is, Lang Qing, came to the mainland to hunt for treasures and deliberately built this dog farm." ”

"Wolf Qing and Captain Niu should be good friends, and it can be seen from the photos that they have a very close relationship. ”

Three months later, the wanted wolf was accidentally caught by the border police on a smuggling boat. For example, after the robbery and murderer Wei Zhenhai escaped from prison, he was arrested by the masses for indiscriminately trying a gun during the Chinese New Year, and he was arrested; There is also a serial child murder case criminal Gong Runbo, because of greed for money, he actually asked the boy who knew the truth about his murder and slept all night with his arms to go home to get money, and after the boy's uncle reported the crime, the police arrested him.

The three-level classified case file submitted by Daze County to the special case team records the entire process of the case.

Director Peng was killed by Armand. While Emang was in the detention center, Director Peng coveted the handsome, muscular young man, and she called him to the office, claiming to check his body for prohibited items. Ai Mang refused on the spot, but Director Peng smiled lewdly and grabbed his lower body, and threatened: "Little brother, if you obey your aunt, you will never treat you badly, if you are disobedient, you will be said to have escaped from prison, and it will be in vain to shoot and kill you...... Little brother, obedient, good, Auntie can't stand it, hurry up, put your train in......"

After being released from the detention center, he went to a private clinic in the county, where the quack doctor told him that it was likely to be the initial symptoms of AIDS infection, which made him worried and went to the provincial capital for examination, and the provincial hospital told him that the symptoms during the incubation period were not obvious, and he needed to be observed for a period of time to confirm whether he had AIDS. During the observation, the fear of AIDS combined with hatred for Director Peng, Aemang quietly invited Director Peng to the bamboo forest of the detention center and brutally killed him.

A few days before that, the white bones in front of the doors of the four public security organs in Daze County were all placed by Captain Niu, and the mysterious numerical coordinates composed of the white bones pointed to the detention center, which was also deciphered by Captain Niu.

Captain Niu is a gambler by nature, and Wolf Qing just took advantage of this and deliberately got acquainted with him. Wolf Qing has taken Captain Niu to participate in dog fighting competitions in other places many times, and dog fighting is also a way of gambling

Up to millions. Captain Niu initially won a lot of money, this is because Wolf Qing chose to cheat, he used a wolf to pretend to be a dog, naturally invincible, even if it was other gambling dogs, Wolf Qing caught the stray girl on the street to exercise the aggression of the dog, so he can win if he wants to.

Later, Captain Niu fell into the abyss of gambling, and Wolf Qing deliberately lost the game, and instigated Captain Niu, who lost his fortune, to embezzle public funds to continue to participate in dog fighting gambling. Captain Niu fell deeper and deeper, and seeing that the embezzlement of public funds was about to happen, Wolf Qing told him the news in the image of a life-saving benefactor: a large number of gold bars and gold bricks were buried near the wall of the detention center.

Wolf Qing swore that his father told him, the news was absolutely accurate, and after digging out the gold bars, the two divided it equally.

Captain Niu urgently needed a huge amount of money to fill the public funds he had secretly embezzled, so he carefully arranged the coordinates of the human bones, and the coordinates pointed to the detention center, so that he, as a criminal policeman, could go to the detention center to investigate on the spot. The vicinity of the detention center is a warning area, and it is forbidden to build any buildings in a certain area, and if you want to carry out large-scale excavation, you must need a reasonable reason for your superiors to be able to pass. After placing the coordinates of the human bones, Director Peng was killed by Ai Mang in a nearby bamboo forest, which gave Captain Niu a reason to excavate the scene under the pretense of solving the case.

The county public security bureau asked the special case team for assistance, Captain Niu was furious, the special case team was likely to sabotage his secret operations, knowing his true purpose, so he resolutely opposed, the public security bureau chief proposed to solve the case in groups, which was exactly what he wanted, and he made a bet with the special case team, and his gambling habit can also be seen.

Captain Niu dug in the bamboo forest for two days and two nights, he broke up his colleagues, picked up the gold bars by himself, and then went to the farm of Wolf Qing overnight, he changed into new clothes, put on sunglasses and hats, and planned to take a boat to the gold store in the provincial capital to exchange the gold bars for cash. Wolf Qing sent him to the dock, and when he was by the river, Wolf Qing said something that made Captain Niu grateful:

"These gold bars, not much, less than I imagined, they all belong to you, you exchange them for money, make up for the embezzled public funds as soon as possible, and don't gamble in the future."

Captain Niu said gratefully: "In my life, just a good friend of yours, good brother, I will come back to worship you." ”

Although Captain Niu is a criminal investigation policeman, he is grateful to Wolf Qing and regards him as a life-saving benefactor, without warning, and before dawn at that time, Wolf Qing suddenly pulled out the gun that Captain Niu pinned to his waist, quickly loaded and opened the safe, killed him, and took the gold bar.

The day before leaving, Professor Liang, Su Mei and investigators from the Municipal Bureau of the Special Case, secretly went to the farm to investigate. Su Mei smashed the office kettle, and Wolf Qing realized that the three people were policemen, so he decisively shot and killed the investigator, locking Su Mei, who was not dead, and Professor Liang, who was helpless, into the kennel, and then fled in panic.

The task force consulted an expert, who claimed that the gold in the ground could indeed be moved.

Gold has free and extensible properties, one gram of gold can be stretched up to four thousand meters of gold wire, the density of gold is very large, although only a gold brick the size of mahjong tiles, but also very heavy. For more than half a century, the gold in the ground was affected by many factors such as the geological environment such as chemical physics and the movement of the earth's crust.

Bao Chu said: "I don't understand what the experts say, but I think that good deeds are rewarded." ”

"Sometimes, many things can also be explained by providence. ”

A few days after Wolf Qing was arrested, Mrs. Luo heard a noise outside the orphanage, and some people knocked on the door.

The old man with her hunched body went to open the door, and she walked through the courtyard, her white hair trembling in the wind, her dress so simple, and she walked forward like a mother who opened the door to us!

The mother of our memories!

The crowd outside the door were her sons, who had come from all over the country to celebrate her own forgotten eightieth birthday.

The old man smiled after opening the door, and from this smile like a spring breeze, we have reason to believe that she can live to be a hundred years old!
