Chapter 449: Western Night Relic
Batur died, but Captain Garlic found Wang Mingdeng.
Wang Mingdeng was old, because he drove all the year round, leaving a herniated lumbar disc, and after lying at home for half a year, he went to a farm in the Corps to take care of the granary.
The grain depot is a particularly important place, and Captain Garlic opened a circle of proofs before he could go in to find Wang Mingdeng. In a huge empty field, there are towering hills of things, that is, warehouses for grain.
After chatting with Wang Mingdeng, Captain Garlic found that this was a serious person.
He used to love to drink and was a wine putty, but in order to be optimistic about the granary, he gave up drinking.
"Food is a thing, you can't be sloppy." Wang Mingdeng explained to Captain Garlic, "In addition to natural disasters such as thunder and fire, countless people are fighting the idea of these small mountain bags. β
"Idea?"
"In our eyes, food is food, and in the eyes of some people, it is money! Look at the granary guards stealing, that is a thing that has been passed down since ancient times, and the grain is not easy to be found if it is sold at a little bit. But what if there are too many rats in the barn, and too much grain is stolen, and you can't hide it? β
"What should I do?" Captain Garlic asked.
So they secretly set a fire and burned the granary clean, so that they could not find out. Shamushak leader, don't you know, every time the superiors want to check the grain reserves, it is the season when the granaries are on fire everywhere. β
After Wang Mingdeng finished talking about this, he took a sip of water proudly and said: "But since my old Wang came to this grain storage warehouse, there has been no fire hereβI don't know how many people hate me so much that they grit their teeth." β
Captain Garlic clarified his intentions, and Wang Mingdeng shook his head.
"I took other people's money, and I promised them to keep it secret."
"After so many years, it's long before it's time to go."
Wang Mingdeng thought about it and stood up, he walked to an old cupboard, he opened the cabinet, took out a bunch of keys and handed it to Captain Garlic.
"This pendant is one of the things they gave me back then."
Captain Garlic took it and found that there was an agate pendant on the keychain, and the agate stone was carved into the shape of a beast's head, which looked fierce.
"The two men were standing in the desert kilometre to stop the car, they were dressed in tatters, their faces were tanned, and their lips were peeled. Lao Ba and I were not without suspicions, but they had no money in their hands, only gold nuggets and jewelry.
The woman was reluctant to speak, and the man explained that they were classmates when they were young, and they were originally a couple, but they were broken up by their families. The woman married a gold digger, but her husband was short-tempered and beat people when he was drunk, and she couldn't stand it, so she stole from the house and decided to run away with the man.
"We saw that they were pitiful, and two of them were generous, and gave each of us a large piece of gold, and half a small bag of jewels. We got them in the car and asked them where they were going, and they said they were going to Haba County. But our car only went to Altay, so we drove them there, and we don't know what happened later. β
Captain Garlic asked, "I looked for Crime, and he said that the gold nuggets given by those two people have words on them, and this should not be something dug up from a gold mine, right?" β
Wang Mingdeng smiled bitterly: "Who doesn't know that their words are false, but those who do our job are too bitter, how can someone put Huang Cancan's gold in front of him?" To tell you the truth, when I got sick at home, I was able to sell what they gave me to heal me. β
"The Haba River is a county on the border."
"Yes, a county in the far northwest, next to Kazakhstan and Russia, at that time, it was not so difficult to sneak out, but it was much more difficult to sneak out there, and no one wanted to smuggle in."
"Looks like I'm going to have to go to the Haba River."
"What did these two people do?" Wang Mingden didn't forget to ask at the end.
Captain Garlic said: "It's just a suspicion, and now that things are happening, it's hard to say whether they are guilty or not." β
"That's good." Wang Mingdeng sighed, "If you are really a person who is a heinous crime, you always feel as if you are aiding and abusing." β
Wang Mingdeng sent Captain Garlic to the door of the warehouse, and said: "It's not far away, this place is very important, and it will never be separated from people." β
Captain Garlic said goodbye to Wang Mingdeng, this was also the last time he saw Wang Mingdeng, half a month later, the granary that Lao Wang was guarding also caught fire, and later found Wang Mingdeng's body in the ashes, he had a liquor bottle of Elite Qu next to him, and an electric stove that was used illegally.
The investigation result of the accident was that Wang Ming went to work to drink alcohol and neglected his duties, which caused electricity leakage and caused a fire.
When Captain Garlic saw the news, he couldn't help but think about what Wang Mingdeng said-
"I don't know how many people hate me so much that they grit their teeth......"
β¦β¦
I sighed, according to Captain Garlic, the two people that Uncle Kerim met with Wang Mingdeng and Batur were more like Wen Mushan and his wife.
Because they had no money, they had to hitchhike with high-value gold and jewelry, and the gold cakes they gave were engraved with words, which just means that they may be the relics of the Western Night Kingdom.
If this is the case, the escape of Wen Mushan and his wife with their treasure will be confirmed again.
"Later, did you go to Haba River County?" Hua Yan couldn't help but ask.
Captain Garlic shook his head: "No, Xinjiang is too big, although it is the same province, it will take many days from Urumqi to Yecheng alone, not to mention the farther and more remote Haba County."
"However, I was cheeky and contacted the Haba River Public Security Bureau through my connections, found an old police officer, and asked him to help me check whether there had been any smuggling incidents that year."
The old comrade quickly replied, he said that there was no record of smuggling on the Haba River that year, but at the turn of the spring and summer of the following year, a very sensational incident occurred, when it had been more than half a year since the two people went to Altay.
"I suddenly felt that this interval was too long, and if those two people were Wen Mushan, they would have run away a long time ago. But out of politeness, I still listened to the 'big event' - I didn't know if I didn't hear it, I was shocked when I heard it, and I keenly felt that it must have something to do with those two people! β
"Hurry up, I'm dying!" Hua Hu stomped her foot and said that she was cute like that.
"Teacher Shen, don't worry, let me, an old man, drink saliva first." Captain Garlic has been talking, and his mouth has long been dry.
Hua Hu hurriedly picked up the kettle: "I'll pour you tea, you moisten your throat, and continue to talk about fun things!" β
Captain Garlic drank tea, and then said unhurriedly: "This happened in August of the following year, when the Altai Mountains were full of flowers. There is a village in the village of Kurgak Tuzi in Haba County, and there is a bachelor in the village named Adlibek.
"This man has been crazy since he was a child, and he shouts every day that he wants to build a big ship and sail out to sea from Xinjiang."
"From Xinjiang, take a boat to the sea?!" Ai Zezi happened to pass by the living room, and he almost bent down with laughter.
