Chapter 36: No Man's Land
I found the current situation a bit funny, the three jeeps are reinforcements, but they are far ahead of the front, and our brother is the main force in solving the case this time, but he rides a camel and follows with great difficulty.
After a while, the two of us went out of the quicksand area. The jeep for reinforcements stopped, and although no one got out, they were clearly waiting for us.
After we rushed over, Jiang Shaoyan took the lead, and we abandoned the camels and wanted to get into the car.
All three cars were full, and the front and rear rows were full. In order to have a place to stay, we separated, one car at a time, and squeezed into the back seat.
Luckily, neither of the two people next to me were too fat, and I noticed that the reinforcement on my right was wearing a pair of glasses.
I could tell that he was very polite and smiled at me kindly. I guess he's not a martial artist, and he doesn't even know how to shoot, what is his identity? This makes me suspicious.
As mentioned earlier, there was a dark shadow over the quicksand area, and it followed and hovered over the jeep. I could make out that it was indeed an eagle, and that it should have been brought by these reinforcements on purpose.
Jiang Shaoyan didn't let everyone stop, and took us on.
This time we drove for a long time and came to the bush area. This is where we must stop, because Luo Yi and Jiu Niang are here.
Thinking about getting them into the jeep for a while, I also have a headache, after all, the car is too tight. Jiang Shaoyan didn't give me time to think about it, and beckoned me to get out of the car first and go to Jiuniang.
Jiuniang was hidden by me, and I nodded happily to take over the job.
I looked up at the night sky, made out the direction, looked around again, recognized the location, and rushed to a bush, crouched beside it, and carefully pulled it.
I thought that it wouldn't take a few clicks to see Jiu Niang, but who knew that after pulling up this shrub and even the surrounding area, I didn't find a single figure.
I said strangely, Jiuniang was also fed medicine by me, it is impossible for me to wake up and walk away?
I didn't rush into action, I squatted and pondered. But this kind of behavior made Jiang Shaoyan and the others unable to understand. The iron donkey also shouted and asked me what to do? Why are you slacking off?
I talked to them about the weirdness, Jiang Shaoyan paid attention to it, and also came over, pointed to the bushes in front of him and asked, "Are you sure Jiuniang has disappeared?" ”
I nodded solemnly. Originally, among our people, there was no shortage of experts who tracked and identified footprints, but the fight here had just ended, and there were many footprints left behind and it was very messy.
Jiang Shaoyan took a few people to another bush to have a look, I have the impression that this is also the place where Luo Yi disappeared, they searched for it, but they also found no shadow of Luo Yi.
These two are important to us, one is a teammate and the other is a major suspect. I'd suggest we stop marching yet, and even if we turn this place upside down, we'll have to look for it again.
But as soon as I finished speaking, a fire appeared in the distance, and the direction was the daughter village.
Jiang Shaoyan said something bad, and gave a new order, we took out the manpower of a jeep, stayed here to continue to look for clues, and the rest of the people immediately marched to the daughter village.
The iron donkey car was left behind, and I set off with Jiang Shaoyan and them.
We drove fast, but when we arrived at the entrance of our daughter's village, we found that it was a mess. Dead village girls can be seen on the roadside and on the walls, and several yards are on fire.
The biggest fire almost burned the whole house, and we didn't have anything to do with extinguishing the fire, so we could only watch.
The two jeeps carried plenty of weapons and ammunition, Jiang Shaoyan asked everyone to arm them, and even I was given a miniature submachine gun.
What model is this gun, I can't say it, anyway, it's swarthy and a foot long. Because of the urgency of the situation, no one told me about this gun.
And so we rushed to the village. If you do the math, there are 10 of us.
The old cat didn't hold a gun, but held a knife in both hands, and often stood on the wall and looked around. The others scattered, but they didn't go too far, keeping a certain distance, and went from door to door.
We all have an idea in our hearts, and this inspection has verified the idea. There are no living people in this village, all dead bodies, and the dead bodies have a pattern, all women, and there are no thieves.
We got together to discuss that the village massacre must have been committed by thieves, and we can't say why.
I'm very worried, because the thieves are all riding camels, and when they leave here, the devil knows where they went. We want to find them, starting from the existing clues and conditions, which is difficult.
But there is also a master among us, he is a very common member of the reinforcements, and his appearance is not outstanding.
He was the owner of the eagle in the sky, and he blew a whistle to call the eagle down, and muttered a few words as he led the eagle to the entrance of the village.
It didn't take long for the eagle to take off again, and it no longer attached itself to the sky above the village entrance, but spread its wings and flew into the distance.
The owner of the eagle did not return, but waited at the entrance of the village. I was amazed at his special talent, and said that the signal here was blocked, and the eagle staring at it would undoubtedly help us a lot, and it was even possible to find out the whereabouts of the thief's retreat.
In addition, Jiang Shaoyan also arranged for another person to work immediately. That's the man with the glasses I'm talking about.
Jiang Shaoyan deliberately found a room without a fire, and asked the man with glasses to walk in with the thief we caught, and after the door was closed, there were two special police officers standing guard here with guns.
I vaguely guessed what the glasses man would do. The rest of us didn't receive a special task for a while, and Jiang Shaoyan said to everyone again, "Now it's just waiting, only when new clues and new breakthroughs appear, can we continue to follow." ”
But we were not idle, some went to guard the jeeps, and some walked around the village in a group of two.
I'm a member of the duo, working with a SWAT officer, and I don't know how many times I've walked around here to protect the "peace" of the village.
In the end, I couldn't walk anymore, so when it was almost dawn, I sat down in a corner and closed my eyes for a while.
I slept in a daze, and I didn't wake up naturally, someone called me, saying that there was a new situation on Jiang Shaoyan's side.
I guess the deadlock was going to be broken, and I was tired and tired, but I suddenly became interested and rushed over with this person.
The place where we met was very coincidental, in the hut where the man with glasses interrogated the thief, this thief was in a very poor mental state, he used to look like a living corpse with skin and bones, and if he bared his teeth, he was still a little hideous, and now, he didn't even have the strength to bare his teeth, he lay on the ground, drooped his eyelids, and took out a listless posture, I analyzed it from a personal point of view, and felt that he was not far from death.
Jiang Shaoyan was gathering on a table with the man with glasses, and there was a piece of paper on it, drawing pictures, all of which should be the masterpiece of the man with glasses.
Those of us who came were not polite, and we all gathered together.
Jiang Shaoyan pointed to the picture and asked if we know what it is, right?
I took a closer look. To be honest, it's a bit simple, I just think of the sun. The others frowned and looked incredulous, and I could feel that they knew more than I did, and seemed to understand the meaning of the diagram.
I didn't want to reveal the side of myself that I didn't understand anything, so I didn't ask, and waited for Jiang Shaoyan to say it.
Jiang Shaoyan gave us a period of thought and continued to explain, "The tomb of the deceased is surrounded by a circular wooden stake in the middle, and seven circles are enclosed by a wooden stake more than a foot high on the outside, and several rays are formed, which is a typical feature of the Sun Tomb. This kind of tomb was discovered in 1979 on the north bank of the ancient channel of the Peacock River. What does it mean to use the sun as a totem for the tomb? It's still a controversial topic, but after last night's interrogation, especially with the use of psychological hypnosis, we got an important clue that these thieves came from the Sun Tomb in the deepest part of the Southwest Forbidden Zone. ”
He didn't go on here, looked at us, and watched everyone's reactions.
I was stunned, Jiang Shaoyan's words, of course I understood it very well, but I didn't understand the content involved.
These thieves are from the cemetery? Could it be that they are all warriors of the Ancient Western Regions who have come back from the dead? It's chilling to think about, and the Sun Tomb is not impartial in the depths of the forbidden area.
I was in no hurry to speak. The others talked about it, but none of them had any useful advice, and even the most absurd opinion was that since the Sun Tomb used the sun as a totem, it was really evil and could bring people back to life.
Jiang Shaoyan is definitely a realist, he didn't draw any conclusions in the end, only emphasized that since the Sun Tomb in the forbidden area is the lair of the thieves, let's not talk about it on paper, just bring a weapon and go over to have a look.
Of course, this daughter's village is also a top priority, and we can't abandon it just because we want to go to the Sun Tomb.
Jiang Shaoyan meant, the carload of people on the iron donkey is still digging clues in the bushes, it's been so long, they should come back. Let's adjust it this time, change a group of people to stay in the daughter village, and organize the other two cars of people to go to the Sun Tomb.
I must have been the one who accompanied me to the Sun Tomb, so I didn't need to express my thoughts at all, so I retreated a little and made room for everyone to discuss.
In this way, the time for another cigarette passed, and the manpower was settled. Among the entourage, except for us, there is only the old cat, and the remaining four people are all elites selected from the reinforcements.
There was also food in the jeep, and our group came to the side of the car, took out the food, ate some for breakfast, and waited for the return of the iron donkeys.
But after breakfast, we waited patiently for an hour, and we didn't see the iron donkeys return. Then there was another incident.
The eagle returned, and when he entered the village, he went straight to his master.
I haven't seen it for half a night, and this eagle has changed a lot. It's not that it's tired and a little haggard. Instead, it became nervous.
I haven't been a veterinarian and don't know what the state of the eagle is when he's mentally ill. The eagle in front of him, after landing on the ground, looked east and west with a daze gaze, and always shook off his body.
When it shook off like this, it made the eagle's feathers fall even more.
We were all amazed, and we all thought that this eagle must have had some special encounter during this period!
