Book 2: The Bronze Hanging Coffin of the Ba People Chapter 19: Revisiting the Door of Death

When I saw the three of them talking about my dad's marksmanship, I was deeply immersed in it, and even turned my ears to the things outside the window, which was a little embarrassing, but I was inevitably proud that I had such a legendary father, and I really didn't know that his old man was so mythical before.

But then again, we're going to talk about the case rather than marksmanship, so I'm going to interrupt them about the flood bursting, "Ahh I said, you guys, why are we here? I came to discuss the case, not to study the sharpshooters. ”

Officer Wei immediately came back to his senses from the admiration, pushed his glasses, slightly embarrassed, and took a sip of tea, "Yes, yes, yes!" Then enter the topic, "Actually, Lan Gonghua and the two of you also know each other, I won't introduce much, let's talk about the case, this time Lan Gonghua also came from Yunnan non-stop specifically for this case, and just arrived this afternoon." ”

The more I and the ghost listened, the more confused we became, didn't Lan Xin just tell me a while ago that she had a case at hand that hadn't been dealt with yet? Why do you have the leisure to take care of this now?

Lan Xin saw my doubts and explained, "I'll say it from beginning to end." This Wang Zhicheng and Zheng Dong are both people with criminal records, our police * side has long been eyeing them, they are people from the Yunnan-Guichuan Fujian Business Association, they have been haunting Yunnan-Guichuan for many years, and they were the first to make a fortune by robbing tombs, and the police * side has not been able to arrest them because there has been insufficient evidence, they are very cunning, and have escaped from under our noses many times, because there is no sufficient evidence and conditions, so our Yunnan-Guichuan police * have not been able to bring them to justice for many years despite their long-term cooperation. ”

"Some time ago, I checked some old information about them, and found that two years ago, they invested in a hydropower station here in Dachang, but this hydropower station is just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and they have done some tricks behind the scenes under the guise of the hydropower station, as for what is behind this, it is still under investigation, and this matter is investigated by me on behalf of the Yunnan police."

As soon as Lan Xin said this, I immediately thought that eighty percent of their hydropower station was a cover for tomb robbery, but because the officer was here, I didn't dare to say it recklessly, and the ghost saw my sad face and knew that I hesitated in my heart to say that I should not say our previous speculation.

Lanxin also noticed that something was wrong with me, so he bluntly said, "Wu Nian! Do you have something to say? ”

"I didn't ...... Not! I was secretive and immediately let Lan Xin, who knew me, see my worries, and she said, "Wu Nian, you have something to say, Lao Wei and I are graduates of the same police academy, and we are both our own people." ”

In this case, I have no taboos, so I directly stated my inference, "I suspect that they are looking for a grave behind their backs." ”

"Looking for a grave?" Officer Wei looked at me with a strange look.

I replied, "That's right! It's just looking for a grave, the Guardian Bureau! Do you still remember the place where we caught Wang Zhicheng in the morning, didn't there be a lot of boreholes? ”

"Uh-huh!" The officer nodded.

I continued, "I thought it was strange at first, but now I know that there should be an ancient tomb a few meters underground. I used to hear a friend of mine named Shanzi say that the shapes of ancient tombs are diverse, so the degree of danger is naturally different, and generally large ancient tombs can only be found by a professional team, and the process is particularly cumbersome. At this point, I would like to emphasize that "although it is cumbersome, it is not too much to build a hydropower station, so ...... So I guess there's a bigger secret behind this. ”

Lan Xin heard this and followed my speculation and said, "I agree with you, after my investigation, I found that the mayor surnamed Guo seemed to be at odds with the investors of the hydropower station on the surface, but in fact they were embarrassed, many people thought that the mayor Guo quarreled with the investors of the hydropower station at the end, and even did it because of the hydropower station, but in fact, their interests were broken." Lan Xin glanced at me when he said this, "And do you know, the head of the investor is called Deng Gang, and the identity of this named Deng Gang is not simple, he ......"

"Wait!" Hearing this, I interrupted Lan Xin, "Is the Deng Gang you are talking about the president of the Yunnan-Guizhou-Sichuan Fujian Merchants Association, he has a son, and others call him Deng Shao?" ”

"That's right! That's him! Lan Xin looked at me in surprise, "How do you know each other?" ”

I smiled wryly, "How do I know him!" It's just that not long ago, his son was cleaned up by me and the fat man. ”

"What?!" Lan Xin was very surprised by this, and didn't forget to say a few words to me, she said, "Wu Nian! Didn't I say you and the fat man, you two wouldn't be restless if you didn't get things done together, did you? ”。

Seeing Lan Xin's big reaction, I couldn't help but be stunned for a while, looking at her with a smile, and said inexplicably, "What's the matter...... What's wrong? Isn't it just the son of the president of the Chamber of Commerce? It's not the king of heaven, master, can I still be afraid of him? When I Wu Nian is a vegetarian. ”

"Just as you can! Heaven and earth are not afraid, right? Lan Xin didn't know whether he was worried or angry, and his tone was not very good, "Wu Nian!" I can tell you, that Deng Gang is a member of the Ke Organization, I originally thought that two years have passed, and you have nothing to do with that mysterious organization, but I didn't expect you to get involved again. ”

I saw that Lan Xin was angry and anxious, so I flattened my breath and said, "Core!" All right! All right! I haven't experienced anything in Wu Nian, and the Ke organization can't do anything to me. And before she had time to speak, she took the first step, and then said, "Let's not mention this now, the top priority is to go to the hydropower station to inspect again, I always feel that the ancient tomb under the hydropower station must be helpful for us to solve the case, because from the construction of the hydropower station to the fragmentation of the interests of investors, this is all because of this ancient tomb, so my intuition tells me that this ancient tomb is not simple." ”

The officer disagreed with me, but offered his opinion, only to hear him say, "Now that it's dark, and when we get there, it's all dark, what can we see?" Why don't we go back early tomorrow morning? ”

"No, no, no!" I hurriedly retorted, "Health Bureau, you don't understand this, the ancient tomb is not something that can be found by looking blindly, it is related to feng shui, and this feng shui is inseparable from astronomy and geography, the earth and mountains, and there are stars on a sunny day at night, which is more conducive to me to find the location of the ancient tomb." ”

Maybe it's because I can't keep my mouth shut about this knowledge, so I forget that I'm just a private detective in the perception of Officer Wei, and how can a private detective know Feng Shui?

Sure enough! Officer Wei lifted his glasses, looked at me with suspicious eyes, and said meaningfully, "You are a private detective who really works a lot part-time, not to mention Gu art, but also feng shui?" Say! What the hell do you do? ”

As soon as I saw that I accidentally said something, I didn't dare to say anything more for a while, after all, tomb robbing has never been an unreasonable and illegal thing, although I don't do this, but the officer will definitely think that I am a tomb robber, no matter how I play my three-inch tongue to explain, he doesn't necessarily believe it, so I simply don't explain.

But fortunately, Lan Xin helped me out of the siege, she said, "Old guard! Don't you believe me? Wu Nian is my friend, we solved the case together two years ago, no matter what he did, in short, you remember one thing, he is a law-abiding citizen, and he is a person who can trust and help us. ”

Officer Wei saw that Lan Xin's face was half pulled down, and then he hurriedly smiled and said, "Lan Gonghua, look at what you said, how could I not believe you, Brother Wu Nian is actually your friend, so naturally he is also my friend, and trust as a friend is fundamental." ”

Clear-eyed people can see that this officer guard is definitely in love with Lan Xin, as soon as Lan Xin appeared, I have never seen Officer Wei have a hard attitude, but this is normal, Lan Xin is really good, whether it is from the appearance or to the police * level, it is a first-class masterpiece, no wonder Officer Wei and ghosts will be fascinated by it.

I'm not a mother-in-law, and I don't talk much nonsense, but seeing that the officer didn't embarrass me anymore, he beckoned Lan Xin and the ghost to accompany me to the abandoned hydropower station to have a second look.

Officer Wei saw that I didn't mean to call him, so he hurriedly played the card that Mao Sui recommended himself, "Brother Wu Nian!" What do you mean by that, what? Don't you want to call me along? I'm afraid that's not appropriate, right? This town is my jurisdiction inside and out, don't forget! I'm the director, what do you mean by not letting me participate in the investigation? ”

I saw that there was still a bit of blame in the self-recommendation of the officer, so I hurriedly waved my hand, and explained in an exaggerated tone, "You listen to me first, just because you are the director of the bureau, how can you do this kind of hard work in this identity, it is not suitable!" Besides! Isn't there something more important that you need to do? ”

"Less sugar-coated cannonballs!" The officer was already serious, and no longer said vaguely to me, "What's the matter?" You can put it bluntly, don't bombard me with the sugar-coated cannonballs of capitalism, I am a proletarian, and I can't eat your flamboyant set. ”

I had something to do, so I didn't bother to grind with him, so I went straight to the point and said, "Can you help me check all the information of the previous mayor, including Dachangtong and Ha'er, the more detailed the better." ”

"Ha'er and Dachangtong?" When Officer Wei Gang heard their names, he looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you checking on the two of them?" Could it be that he ......" At this point, he seemed to understand something, so he changed his words and said, "Okay! Leave it to me. ”

I looked at the not tall and polite director of the police * inspection bureau in front of me with satisfaction, "Health Bureau! Thank you for choosing to believe me, and now I feel that the four of us here at the moment are the most trustworthy and no one else. ”

Lan Xin also interjected at this time, "Wu Nian, you and Zhongyi have both come to help me and Lao Wei, then Xiao Jing and their disappearance will be handed over to Lao Wei, although he is not as sensitive as you in the investigation of the case, but I dare to pack a ticket, Lao Wei is more experienced than you in the matter of missing persons." ”

When I heard this, I was very pleased and said to the officer, "The Health Bureau will leave it all to you, I will do my best to help you, and I hope you can also find my friends as soon as possible." ”

"Wait!" Officer Wei frowned, and his face was dazed, "I'm confused for you, what's going on?" ”

The ghost preemptively said, "I'll explain it to you." As he spoke, he repeated the story in the briefest of words.

After hearing this, the officer scolded me for being confused, saying why didn't I report this kind of thing to him earlier? Then he pushed his glasses, "You can go to investigate the case with Lan Gonghua with peace of mind, and the rest is all on my old guard, but you have to send me the information of your missing friends." ”

"It's been sent to you, in your QQ mailbox." It turned out that Lanxin had already made this wishful thinking.

And just as we were about to set off, we were stopped by the offcer guard, who said, "Detective Wu! Have you forgotten something? Wang Zhicheng is now crazy like a mad dog in our bureau, the city knows about it, and now he has an opinion on me, when will you give me this herb that drives away dogs and ghosts? ”

I slapped my head and said embarrassedly, "Oh! Right! I almost forgot about it. Then give the anxious-looking officer a reassurance: "Don't worry! I'll pick up my exclusive secret recipe herbs for you later, but I might have to trouble you to get me some tools. ”

The tools I asked the officer to prepare were nothing more than three flashlights and two sapper shovels, and I set off with the guys, the ghost, and Lan Xin. Since Dachangtong and Ha'er have been listed as suspicious objects by us, we didn't ask them for a boat, but asked the officer to arrange a boat for us to send over.

When the boat arrived at the mouth of the river at the Gate of Death, the ghost said that he had just found the ferry, and only saw Ha'er's boat, but he didn't see Dachangtong's boat, and he approached me with a chattering spirit, and said, "Wang, you said it's almost nine o'clock now, and it's already dark, where do you say Dachangtong can go?" It's impossible to solicit customers at this point, you see that all the boats at this ferry port are back, and there are a few people like us who come out at night to "move", it seems that there is really a problem with Dachangtong. ”

I agreed with the ghost, and replied in a speculative tone, "In my opinion, eighty percent of the ships at this time have gone to the hydropower station, and we will see if he is there when we get there." ”

Lan Xin has never seen Dachangtong, I don't know the situation, so I didn't express my opinion, just sat quietly opposite me and the ghost, not to mention, Lan Xin sat on the bow of the boat with such a posture, the silver moon white light from the sparkling river gently reflected on her handsome white face, and her reflection was printed on the river, there is really a bit of the meaning of the so-called Yi people on the water side, a simple word is beauty.

When I saw that the ghost could see the god, I deliberately teased him, and put my hands on his chin, and the ghost was puzzled and asked, "What are you doing?" ”。

"It's okay! You continue to watch yours, I will help you hold the harazi, I am afraid that you will wait for someone else's boat to flow a boat! I grinned.

The ghost's old face turned red, and he said embarrassedly, "Go and go, who is like you and the fat man." Then with a reminding tone and a joking meaning, he whispered to me, "Comrade Wu, I need to remind you that it's okay for Lanxin to borrow it from you, but you can't have other ideas." I knew that the ghost was joking with me, so I let out a disdainful "huh" and said, "It's like whom." ”

I don't think Lan Xin has been looking at us directly, she is not far away from us, she should have heard us talking about her joking, especially my last thoughtless words probably made her very unhappy.

When I was embarrassed, I was at a loss, took out a cigarette, and hurriedly said to the ghost who was also at a loss, "Lao Wang!" I heard that such moonshine and cigarettes are more compatible, come to the root? As he spoke, he immediately lit one and sobbed in a panic.

"Ah?!" The ghost didn't react for a while, and then immediately responded, "No, you can just have fun." ”

At this time, Lan Xin had slowly walked towards us, and before he could speak, the boat suddenly set off a wave of waves, so that Lan Xin did not stand firmly, and fell to me at once, before I could react, Lan Xin had already thrown himself into my arms, and the ghost was dumbfounded, and when he was about to speak, the boat suddenly shook again and more obviously, more frequently, as if something under the ship was hitting our ship.

Sure enough, when the boatman saw this, his face immediately changed, and he shouted at us, "Everyone, hold on, there is something under the boat." ”
