Originally, it was just a drink, but before he could talk a few words, Lin Shan drank too much.

"I'm happy, brother, I'm really happy, it's rare to have dinner with friends outside of work." As he spoke, he brought another beer, so I had to accompany him.

Neither Dahemina nor Shen Yu drank, and the two women watched us quietly and pretending to be crazy.

Lin Shan and his wife chatted about the past, as if they were much younger all of a sudden.

"At that time, my face was as tanned as coal." Dahemina giggled and said to Shen Yu - the first thing a girl cares about is her appearance, and the so-called appearance is really justice.

But I looked at Lin Shan's oily face opposite, and I really couldn't imagine his appearance back then.

According to his own account, when he first went to work after graduation, several newly recruited colleagues were a little apprehensive when they heard about going to the Pamirs.

"I was the most stupid, I thought it was funny at the time, and I ran to the leader's office and took the initiative to apply to go, but I fought for a hill there and married a wife. A foolish person has a good fortune, and a foolish person has a stupid life, just like the five people who have been in the poor mountains and bad waters for many years. ”

"But now they're not satisfied."

"Is it murder?" Dahermina asked suddenly.

"Huh?" I was stunned by her question.

"Curly and Hero, were they murdered?"

"Ah, so to speak."

"So, is it a serial homicide? Is there someone who wants to kill all five of them in a targeted manner? ”

Shen Yu shook his head: "No, it was a college student who killed Curly, and the chain of evidence and testimony are complete." As for the hero—"

She looked at me, as if wondering if she was going to tell me about the hero's attack on us.

But in the end, she still retained her dignity for the hero.

The hero was shot and killed in the street, and the gunman then fled. At that time, the suspect who killed Curly Hair had long been imprisoned in a detention center. ”

"So are they the same organization? For example, this organization has a grudge against those five people, so the murderer is not just one person? ”

I was stunned for a moment, because I hadn't thought about it before. However, Shen Yu bluntly denied it: "I have also considered this issue, but after careful study, this possibility has been ruled out - the suspect who killed Curly Hair will not know about the existence of Sarekole at all." ”

"Ugh." Dakhmina suddenly sighed.

"What's wrong wife, why are you sad?" Lin Shan asked her.

Dahemina looked at us, she hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Actually, after meeting the five of them in the valley west of the Sarekolle Ridge, I vaguely noticed something unusual. ”

"Huh?!" Lin Shan's hands shook in shock, and he almost spilled the full beer.

"Mina, why didn't you tell me about this?"

"I didn't know Chinese very well at that time, and you were so excited that you didn't want to know it when you met your hometown at that time. There is a saying that you can't get married, so how can I interject? Besides, they were actually wary at the time, only you can't see it. ”

"No......" Lin Shan was stunned.

"You have to trust a woman's instincts, right, Sister Na?" Shen Yu said.

Dahemina laughed: "He's as stupid as wood at the time, and he will fight with me." There were many unnatural places for those five people at that time, such as the gold rush valley in their mouths, which should be a ditch that produces more placer gold.

"This kind of ditch is concentrated around the Langcuri River, which flows into the Langcuri Lake, which is a particularly prominent landmark in the vicinity. If they could make it to the Wakhan Corridor further south, then why couldn't they find the original Gold Rush Valley?

"Besides, they traveled thousands of miles to Wakhan to find Master. But Master just hasn't heard from him, and he's not really passed away. So, in those years, they should have found a way to find the Gold Rush Valley, and then wait for the master. So, logically speaking, this is a bit unreasonable. ”

Lin Shan's hand holding the wine glass shook again.

"Don't get excited, I'm a Tajik, and my father is engaged in field surveying and mapping, so I naturally know more about the geography of my country." Dahemina is really a careful person, and she also deliberately takes care of Lin Shan's emotions.

"There is one more doubt. After you used a satellite phone to contact the boundary survey team, I deliberately chatted with them in the days when I was waiting for rescue. I found that what they were talking about was a very different route from Tajikistan to Afghanistan than I knew of it.

"They're either vague or general, but they don't know the real details. At that time, I suspected that what they said about going south to find Master was actually made up. ”

Lin Shan's face turned pale, and he kept looking at me, as if he wanted to get some answer from me.

Shen Yu opened his mouth first: "We also doubted this, because when we read the report later, we found that they had to pass through rivers and lakes to go from the Nameless Valley to the Wakhan Corridor, but they didn't mention it at all, as if they jumped directly from the valley to the Wakhan Corridor. ”

"That's right." I agreed—so that Lin Shan was left sitting alone.

"Any other doubts?" Shen Yu continued to ask Dahemina.

"Yes, those gems. According to them, the stones were picked up from the Gold Rush Valley and the Nameless Valley. Yes, Tajikistan is a gemstone-producing country, especially in the Badakhshan region, where gemstone production is high. But gemstones are not irregular, and everywhere is often produced in one deposit for rubies and the other for turquoise.

"With so many varieties of stone they have collected, they must not be confined to one valley, they must have traveled far and wide to pick it up. And the five men were not as innocent as they claimed, on the contrary, they knew the value of the gems - because the caves were full of valuable stones.

"Moreover, they also have a kind of sunflower stone, which is also called plagiomasite, which is a special gem of Tajikistan and is only found in one place. And that place is far away from the Nameless Valley, so there must be another truth in the matter, and it is not as simple as they say, the five people have always been quietly in the valley. ”

Shen Yu kept nodding, and I was also attracted by Dahemina's analysis, only Lin Shan was rubbing his fat face and drinking sullen wine.

"Are you unhappy?" Dahermina asked Lin Shan, smiling.

"No, no, I just think- you should have told me sooner."

Dachmina smiled again: "I didn't think much about it later, if it wasn't for the two teachers coming, it would have been buried in firewood, rice, oil and salt." ”

"And what do you think of their origins?" Shen Yu asked.

"Actually, on my way back to Dushanbe after the demarcation of the border, I stopped in a city called Murghab, where I heard some more legends about them......," Dahmina said.
