Chapter 31 The Ridge in Disguise
"Huh? - What about the cedar forest? Ai Chunguang blinked in dismay.
"Senior, I think - you are in the wrong place?!" Yu Jian looked around—bare.
"......" Chunguang carefully looked at the distant and close appearance - he didn't see a single cedar tree, and even the path was built into a machine farming road. He thought for a moment and said:
"The place is right, it's a tree - cut down?! And widen the road! ”
"The landscape will change, and it is foolish to think that the terrain will not change. Which side is the Ridge? Yu Jian asked:
He didn't come the year before last - it was the first time to go to the mountain section where Li Xuefen disappeared, but he was very confident in his senior's memory and sense of direction!
"In the distance, the col is the pass of the Sichengling Mountain, the right-hand side is the horseback mountain, and the left-hand side is the Sichengling. After crossing the mountain pass, you can walk to the street of Arrow Mountain-" Chunguang pointed to the junction of the two mountains on the north side, and explained to the junior:
"At that time, I used the 'rotary continuous photography method' to choose a few commanding heights - repeatedly taking pictures of the area of the column, which was very impressive; Plus I searched in the mountains later, and I pressed Xue - you can't go wrong!? ”
"Then I went back to the team and found the old photos and compared them - isn't it clear?!" Yu Jian said - thinking:
At that time, they were all surveyed, and after such a long time, now even the woods are gone—all of them are doing "useless work"...
"How many hillside dripping fir trees - there are always more than 20 acres? At that time, people walked in it - covering the sky and the sun! There are drops of fields (places) that are similar to primeval forests. Ground? No flashlight - can't even tell if anyone has stepped on it?! "Spring light recalls on the one hand, and looks into the distance on the other:
Yesterday, he and Yu Jian finished cleaning the slag, although there were no new discoveries - equivalent to "empty-sifting" for three days, but they were completely relieved about the waste well site. According to the unified arrangement of the special case command, today is the re-investigation of the "missing" scene.
Before leaving, he thought that according to his current vision and business level, it was possible to make new discoveries on the "spot"? - After he went to the Criminal Crime Corps of the Provincial Department for further training last year, he came back with more confidence, and he has played an important role in solving cases through on-site investigation and detective in several major cases!
Plus the "dream omen" the night before yesterday - that man jumped out of the woods?! He wants to go deeper into the woods today - to find out? But now, even the trees are gone...
Ai Chunguang sighed secretly, learning from the cow - pinching the tiger's mouth:
"Foolishness" follows—don't let frustration affect him! Dream? I can't take it seriously, and I'm not "Bao Qingtian"!
"On the hill on the left, it seems—someone?" Yu Jian's eyes - really good.
"Let's go, go over - see?" Chunguang can't patronize the leather shoes on his feet, and leave aside the road - stepping on the potholes and uneven floating soil, and head in the direction of the top of the mountain -
Yu Jian glanced at his "N-K" sneakers and pouted - keep up...
"Uncle, are you digging a cedar tree?" Spring mouth sweet.
"Huh?!" The old man agreed, and looked up—in his sixties, with gray hair, forehead lines piled across his forehead, yellow eyes, and neat teeth—but a little smoky.
"We are the police station drop. Come, have a cigarette - take a break? Chunguang handed the old man a Li Chun: said it was a "detective" - afraid that the old man would not understand?
"Yo?! Eat your drops? The old man took the cigarette—a pair of hands that had been working for many years—and his skin was wrinkled like pine bark.
"Smack!" Chunguang lit a cigarette for the old man - asked:
"Uncle, what's your surname?"
"Oh, don't be expensive - the surname is 'Min'! A door word, add a text to it-" Uncle Min looked at the two young people and asked rhetorically:
"Are you from the police station? To the mountains - what are you doing? ”
"The surname is Min Di-Shao, I have a classmate, it is Jianshan Di, also surnamed Min-" Ai Chunguang said, took out his work card and showed it to the old man: he found that the old man was quite vigilant!
"Your classmate, young man—I'm afraid I won't recognize it? There are few households in the Min family in Jianshan, and I recognize the old hair (generation) drops! Uncle Min sat on the horizontal hoe handle - and took a break to smoke.
"His name is Min Fangjun, and he is taller than me?! In Xiangbei Province - set up a factory. Chunguang accosted.
"Oh-Fang Jun, you know-give me two generations shorter! When I came back in the first month of this year, he also gave me a 'New Year's greeting' drop. The old man smiled.
"Uncle-" Chunguang hurriedly changed his words and got to the point:
"Row of cedar trees, when (when) - cut down the drops?"
"I cut it last year! Murakami people say 'unlucky'? I think it's also dripping—it's eerie..."The old man glanced at the cigarette butt: how long the ash dragged on. He sucked it - and threw it away!
"One more—" Ai Chunguang caught Uncle Min - there was something to say. After he lit it for the old man, he also lit one himself, and asked:
"What kind of 'unlucky' barbarism?"
"You guys don't know yet, do you?" The old man took a puff of his cigarette and continued:
"On a hot day the year before last, a little woman dropped in Donggou Village, just below the mountain pass - didn't you see it?! The family listed a mountain and rummaged through it several times, but they didn't find it? - Isn't that right? I heard that Xue Du found the police station - many times, you guys (should) know what is going on?! ”
"We are county drops, and we went to the police station to help, but we didn't come - how long (for long)?!" Chunguang knows: the old man - not confused! If you want to find out some information, you must justify yourself and dispel his doubts.
"That's—no wonder! I used to do it in the village - the militia battalion commander, a few 'old' people at the police station, like Director Mei and Zhu Hengnian - I know them all?! -Also, your work card is a 'criminal case brigade' drop-" Uncle Min finally opened the conversation:
"You must be looking into the 'human bones' found in the mine for your old friend?"
"......" Ai Chunguang nodded, smoking a muffled cigarette - no squeak, and waited for the old man to finish: he felt that Yu Jian glanced at him?
"Xue is not allowed, is it 'that' the little woman who fell into the well - took (fell) to death? Several nearby villages, all rumored - coaxed and chattered - "Uncle Min helped analyze:
"Are you weird? Well? She took a shortcut to work - walked to the mountain pass, why couldn't they go to the edge of the old friend's well? The direction is completely anti-dripping, not right at all (right)? - There's a 'strange thing', I don't know - have you heard of it..."
Speaking of this, Uncle Min took out a pack of "Shengtang" cigarettes, took out two and handed them to the two young men:
"Smoke? A stick of glutinous (smoked)? ”
Ai Chunguang hurriedly catched:
"Eating tobacco - is it good to divide and turn (poor)? Isn't it just a smoke! I used to eat 'Yunling'? ”
"Foolish opinion - no smoking!" Yu Jian shook his hand - not answered.
Chunguang saw that Uncle Min was a little embarrassed, and immediately explained:
"He likes boxing, he doesn't smoke!"
"I was on the team when I was younger, and I also loved boxing, boxing - okay?!" The old man's eyes shone brightly: as if in front of him, he saw the shadow of his youth?
"Uncle, will you tell me about the 'strange thing'-Xue?" Ai Chunguang grabbed the conversation - and didn't let go.
"Oh, it's like this - maybe five or six years? Donggou is also lost and chattering about a little woman—"Uncle Min tried his best to recall...
"The year before last, the surname was Li; That—seems to be the surname 'Liu'? I can't even remember the drip for too long—"The wrinkles on the old man's face are deeper:
"It's supposed to be a winter drop thing, I remember it too- I searched everywhere, but I didn't find it?!"
"Are you 'angry' with your family and going to 'other places' to chat?" Chunguang guessed that he remembered that on the night when the bones of the abandoned well were found, Zhang Da said that there was still a report of "missing" in Arrow Mountain.
"Won't drop! If you are angry, you will be angry—you will come back to Dithian—" Uncle Min sighed, and continued:
"I'm not back now, I'm not refreshed (Chu)? It's strange that the little woman back then was also in the mountain pass below - didn't see a drop?! Oh — I remember nagging - definitely not coming back! When cutting down cedar trees last year, some people also talked about it? It was because of the nagging on the mountain that the village decided to cut down the tree dripping because he didn't see the 'two' little women! You Xue-isn't-out 'ghost' nag?! ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener cares. Ai Chunguang's hand shook - he flicked the cigarette ash: he felt stupid and "staring" at the old man??
"Yu Jian, let's go?! Delay the uncle-long chatter-" Chunguang saw Yumi's half-open mouth - stunned there!
"......" Yu Jian seemed to want to ask something, and nodded hurriedly when he heard the senior shouting.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry, I can't finish digging in the Ming Dynasty - digging in the Ming Dynasty?!" Uncle Min stood up and said.
"Thank you, we have something to do." Ai Chunguang shook hands with the old man.
"What's the matter—just ask me? I live in 'Shang Ma Chong'! "Uncle Min is getting up to the top - a little reluctant.
"Good! When the time comes, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you?! Chunguang waved goodbye: the old man is not in a hurry - he is in a hurry, I am afraid that he will be a detective - he is even more anxious......
