Chapter 200: Inference (2)
The so-called accidental event is that his wife Shu Yun suddenly came to the desert and found herself.
This is simply providential, it turns out that if he escapes alone, he may still worry about his wife and son. But now that the wife is here, everything can be discussed - the two of them can fly together, find a quiet place, and live the life they like, as for the children, the police will definitely not do anything to him......
Wen Mushan must have discussed it with his wife, and what he learned from Qiling was that although Wen Mushan was not smiling, the relationship between the couple was still very deep.
As for Shu Yun, she must have weighed it again and again and agreed to her husband's proposal.
The two men went into action, they stunned Fei Tang and the group of migrant workers with sleeping pills, and then tied them up and threw them somewhere.
That place was certainly not near the tent – it was too eye-catching, and if someone found it, they wouldn't have time to escape. They may not have wanted to kill people in the first place, and "if you are not honest, I will kill you" may just be Wen Mushan's words to threaten the migrant workers and tell them not to act rashly.
But what Wen Mushan didn't expect was that Wang Tuda actually ran away.
With no choice but to catch up with Wang Tuda and kill him, he may have realized a problem immediately.
- What if someone escapes again? If they call the police, and the police deploy control at the border in time, then their plan to defect will be in vain!
After all, the husband and wife are just weak scholars, and if they can't control these strong migrant workers, the consequences will be unimaginable.
If they can't be controlled, the angry migrant workers are likely to tear his husband and wife to pieces in the desert. After all, it was Wen Mushan's unkindness and injustice that came first.
What to do?
Wen Mushan, who is well versed in history, may quickly recall an allusion.
In September of the 55th year of King Zhou, Qin and Zhao each raised the strength of the country to fight a decisive battle in Changping, the Zhao army finally ran out of food and water, and the commander Zhao Kuo died in battle, and it is said that 400,000 people asked the Qin army to surrender.
However, the total mobilized strength of the Qin army was only 600,000 people, plus the combat attrition, and the strength was not much higher than that of the surrendered Zhao army.
These soldiers are hungry and waiting to be fed, firstly, the supplies of the Qin army cannot feed them, which is more likely to cause resentment, and secondly, even if they are fed, the Zhao army, which has such a huge number of people, suddenly rebels, then the Qin army, which is not superior in numbers, can not suppress the situation at all.
The commander of the Qin army, Bai Qi, thought about it again and again, and finally ordered the Qin army to wear a black veil in the middle of the night, kill almost all the hungry and weak soldiers, and then dig a pit and bury them all......
And the situation that Wen Mushan is facing now is similar to Bai Qi back then? Although he drugged and fascinated a powerful opponent, he couldn't control the situation at all, and once there was any mistake, then he was doomed to ruin.
In front of him, there seemed to be only that choice, although this choice was extremely cruel, but it was still the safest way.
Therefore, after hesitating, he made up his mind to wait for the place where the migrant workers were detained, and also raised the butcher knife against the remaining migrant workers, and even Fei Tang, who was traveling with him......
As for why the bodies of these people could not be found, it is not difficult to understand.
The Taklamakan Desert is the second largest desert in the world, and it is a place where winds and sand are raging, with strong winds for a third of the year.
The sand dunes in the desert stretch, the large dunes are often more than 300 meters high, and the small sand dunes are also tens of meters high, and because of the strong winds, 80% of the sand dunes are moving.
Wherever the wind passed, the sand dunes were blown into sand walls in an instant, some of which could reach a height of more than 900 meters, and almost the entire sand dunes were blown to move.
Therefore, if you catch a strong wind overnight, the corpses of a dozen or so people abandoned in the desert will be buried by the wild sand in an instant, and then the sand dunes that move like waves will be swept and carried away, and finally they will not know what to do.
The police judged that the ruins of the Western Night Kingdom were probably located in the Tempest Zone, which is why they were sometimes exposed and sometimes buried by the sand. Where an ancient city can be buried, let alone bury the corpses of a dozen or so people.
This conclusion, although there is not much direct evidence, seems to be the most plausible conclusion at the moment.
Although Captain Garlic later had some dissenting opinions, new evidence soon emerged.
There is a valley pasture along the Yarkand River, and there is a herdsman on duty in the pasture.
The herdsman provided information that eighteen days earlier, a tall man and a short man had come along the valley to the pasture with a package on their backs to beg him for food.
The herdsmen asked them where they came from and where they were going, but they couldn't tell me clearly, and then the tall man said that they were from Taxian and went to Kuqa to resell things, but the money was stolen by thieves, and they had no money to take the car, so they had to walk back to Taxian.
The herdsman nodded, and he subconsciously felt that these two people might be more like fugitives.
At that time, there were many prisoners in the border areas who were in the labor camp on the farms, and every few years someone would sneak out while they were unguarded. Bai Baoshan, one of the top ten bandits that year, secretly killed two cellmates when he was in the farm labor reform.
If it's a fugitive, it's best not to mess with them.
The herdsmen gave them goat's milk, ate mutton, and sent them some jerky, and sent them away. After others came to change shifts, he hurried down the mountain and reported the situation to the local police station.
The police station quickly contacted several nearby prisons, but they said that there were no recent escapes. So those two people may really be the peddlers who ran home.
But the herdsman shook his head vigorously, and he thought that there must be something wrong with the two men, because the short man always had a towel wrapped around his head, and he kept it secret, and did not say a word.
"It looks like a woman dressed as a man in a play." He said to the police at the police station.
The policeman smiled: "Maybe the family is two." ”
The western Xinjiang region is deserted, and a woman in a hurry can sometimes cause unnecessary trouble. In particular, the mountain road in the Yarkand River valley is even more deserted, so it seems understandable to dress up as a man.
This matter was put aside, and it was not until the public security department investigated along the way that the police realized that the two people were likely to be Wen Mushan and his wife who fled to the border area!
He quickly called his superiors to report the situation, and at about the same time, the border patrol soldiers found a black tweed coat next to the Karasu Pass leading to the outside of the country.
The Karasu Pass, located in the Sarekole Mountains, is a small mountain pass that was deserted at the time.
The coat was quickly sent to Yecheng, and Xun Tangshan recognized it at a glance.
"It looks like the clothes of the old smell."
Captain Garlic sent the photo of the coat and the clothing label inside to the Qiling Archaeological Institute, and the institute quickly called.
"The coat was issued uniformly by the institute the year before last, so there is no doubt that it is Wen Mushan's clothes."
Captain Garlic breathed a sigh of relief, but a strange feeling always lingered in his heart—for some reason, he didn't seem to be able to accept Wen Mushan's obvious answer of murder, treasure theft, and defection.
