Chapter 11: Gold
The night fell quickly, the efficiency of the police was really good, Mu Feng woke up, and the adjacent carriages no longer had the posture of strict prevention and blockage in the morning, but groups of three or five were discussing something.
As for the topic of discussion, the main thing is that I was able to get away with this silent theft, and I was extremely glad in my heart, in short, the topic was like this, it was not about myself, such a case became a leisure moment after tea and dinner on the train, but there was also a category of people who were keen on the sympathy conveyed by the fifth car, of course, mixed with some unfriendly ridicule, human beings are such complex and dramatic behavior.
Mu Feng passed through the hall, and when he saw this scene, Nan Nan said to himself: "It seems that the news that the police may leave the train is good, everyone seems to have lost that worry, and the laughter is lively and lively, and the boring journey is more colorful."
But at the same time in the fifth car, it is a different scenery, because the people here have become the only victims at present, and they are also the origin and core of the topic, and a gloomy atmosphere has been shrouded in it since this morning, and later, the various carriages are full of topics, and this is the hardest hit area, and everyone has proved that people's curiosity can breed trouble that you can't imagine.
Just now, a big brother who lived in the fifth car was eating in the dining car, and someone always came up and patted him on the shoulder to comfort him, persuading him that money is something outside the body, and that the big brother was in the clouds, in fact, he wanted to tell the other party the truth, in fact, I didn't lose anything, but he was not good at words, and he was always covered by sudden concern when he couldn't explain.
The moonlight is like a hook, the night is like a shadow, the train will not stop because of such a thing, what happens in the carriage has nothing to do with itself, put on a cold coat, with billowing smoke, hurriedly singing in the dark.
At this moment, in the first box of the fifth carriage, the eldest sister named Fang Ping said angrily to the man in front of her: "I heard rumors outside that thief only stole gold, what's the matter with my bracelet?"
The man pulled Fang Ping's arm and explained, "Daughter-in-law, you are golden, 100% pure gold."
"Brother gold is not 100%, the highest is 99.99" Qian Le, who was not a big deal while watching the excitement, took the opportunity to popularize science for his eldest brother, but what he got in exchange was a man's slanted eyes.
"Take your broken bracelet and roll it for me" Fang Ping took off the bracelet and threw it at the man, the man subconsciously dodged to the side, the bracelet smashed on the corner of the table behind him, the crisp sound of the metal landing sounded, and the bracelet fell to the ground after the collision but suddenly separated, becoming two halves, but everyone in the carriage saw this scene, and suddenly the box was much quieter, and several people's eyes were evasive, followed by a scream of pain and a few laughs that couldn't help but gush out.
In the middle of the night, Mu Feng lay on the bed, closed his eyes, put his consciousness into his comfort zone, and looked at the countdown of the task with less than eight hours left in the space, and had a great headache.
Because of the limited time, tonight is his only chance, if that guy doesn't come out to commit the crime, his mission will be really cold, which is also the main reason why he moved the police to cooperate, but he has been waiting for the man to take the bait since ten o'clock, just in case he will change the time of the crime.
Afraid of not being safe, Mu Feng tied a small bell with a thin wire next to the gold chain hidden in several carriages, although the sound was also weak, but if there was movement, the police who were hiding in the dark and ambushed should be able to find out as soon as they heard the sound.
The waiting time is always boring, at three o'clock in the morning, most of the people in the carriage have already fallen asleep, and Mu Feng, who is waiting hard, is about to lose his patience, but despite this, he is not sleepy at all, and some of the police officers who are ambushed have drooped their eyelids and are shaking.
After a night of strict observance, everyone's mental wear and tear was more serious, but they still played up the spirit of 12 points, for fear of missing the first time of the case.
"挲~挲~" Suddenly there was a slight sound of rubbing against the floor, and the police who were ambushing outside the No. 3 carriage suddenly came to their senses, and shouted in the corridor for the first time, shouting repeatedly, "No. 3, No. 3" The sound was not too loud, but he was satisfied to be able to reach his companions.
"Hooked?" Mu Feng opened his eyes, and suddenly came to his senses, and sat up from the ground, he was in the box in the first half of the night, because he was afraid of disturbing his aunt and sister, in the early hours of the morning, he came out and sat in the corridor while pricking up his ears to wait for the actions of the policemen.
The action involves a move of the whole body, after the police call of the third box report, the other police officers rushed here as soon as possible, the carriage is not too long, and no one stays here in the middle of the night, almost everyone sleeps peacefully in their own box, but there are also sporadic teenagers who stay up late, three or five people play cards in the dim light, and the police who are running around outside the carriage and Mu Feng who inquires rushed to shuttle through the corridor, the passage is only more than one person wide, and it is inconvenient to disturb the passengers at night, these police officers even dragged their shoes in advance to control the strength of the step, quiet and fast on the road。
For the sake of convenience, the police opened the doors of the connecting points of the carriages in advance, and when everyone arrived, they suddenly saw a slightly strange scene here, wisps of dark golden liquid, which floated on the floor after drilling through the crack in the door, drifting along the aisle towards the fourth car.
Several people were stunned, observing the strange scenery on the ground, and then someone whispered: "Don't be stunned, go to car four, chase after it!"
The speed of the golden liquid was not too fast, and it seemed that it was still a little unrecognizable, occasionally colliding left and right, and only then began a new escape path after finding the right route, but when the people chasing behind it arrived at the junction of the third and fourth carriages, they suddenly saw no trace of the golden liquid.
After crossing the junction, after inquiring in the corridor of the fourth carriage, it was also fruitless, and a few people looked at Mu Feng.
"Mu Feng, smell it!" said a police officer suddenly.
“······ Treat me like a police dog???" Mu Feng muttered quietly, although he thought so, Mu Feng still sniffed, the smell of reed smoke and butterfly orchid was more familiar to him than anyone here.
A few seconds later, Mu Feng's face turned blue: "A few big brothers, put on your shoes, I'll chase after you first, and you'll come back later."
Mu Feng fanned the wind with his hand and chased towards the fourth carriage, but the smell of reed smoke and butterfly orchids through the entire fourth carriage was still not dispersed, Mu Feng chased all the way to the fifth carriage, however, after passing the midpoint, the strange floral fragrance in the fifth carriage suddenly disappeared, and there was only a faint fragrance of butterfly orchid pollen in the fifth carriage.
Mu Feng turned to look at the still creaking junction behind him, squatted down and touched the crack in the floor, and felt a slight friction mark, leaving some golden powder on it.
"Escaped below"?
Mu Feng was stunned in place, and said to himself: "This person won't hide underneath!"
The police officers who came one after another saw Mu Feng and asked, "Brother Mu, what's wrong, you caught up with the suspect?"
Mu Feng shook his head: "No, but I suspect that he is hiding underneath", Mu Feng pointed to his feet.
"Downtown??" the officers looked at each other and stepped forward to grope for the ground.
"Captain Bian, can this place be disassembled?"
"If you can dismantle it, it's just a little troublesome," Bian Anhua said.
Mu Feng lay on the ground and sniffed it carefully and said, "Let's find a way to take it apart and take a look."
"What did you find?" asked Bian Anwar.
"It's very flavorful!" Mu Feng said with a smile.
"You mean, all the gold ornaments are hidden here" said a police officer, during the day they checked almost all the carriages, according to the amount of gold jewelry lost in the fifth carriage, and did not find any suspicious people, a few years ago the price of gold has changed significantly, many people with good family conditions have taken advantage of the low price to get more or less some gold jewelry, so there are one or two pieces of jewelry on the body, it is not surprising.
"Little Wu, a few of you go get tools," Captain Bian said to his subordinates.
"Yes"
After a short time, the two of them came back with crowbars, wrenches and other tools.
"What are you doing here, officer?" said a man as he pushed the door open.
"Well, you ·····" Captain Bian gave his subordinates a look, and a policeman would push the man out, and he would come back soon after saying something, and then everyone continued to be busy.
"Bang, the floor was pried open", the night was too dark, when the police turned on the lights, there was a cube container in the pit, with a dazzling array of gold ornaments on the top, and several layers of gold squares neatly stacked below.
“······”
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva, and the thing still had some weight, and the two of them carried it out together.
"Captain, why is there so much gold?" someone asked.
"There should be more than what was lost on the train, what we lost on the train is just a drop in the bucket compared to these," Mu Feng said.
"It looks like we met a big thief, didn't this guy end the bank reserve vault somewhere, and then fled in a car, hiding the gold here, who knows that last night the itchy hand did two more votes" A police officer said his guess.
"Maybe, don't make a noise for now, wait for dawn, do statistics, and return what can be returned" Bian Anhua didn't have the slightest greed in his eyes, and still said calmly.
At this time, Mu Feng was not happy at all, the gold was found, but his task was not completed, and there was not much time left.
Now I only know that the prisoner is still in the car, but how to find it! Mu Feng was a little distressed, and let the time pass minute by minute.
The policemen stayed up all night, fearing that the gold would be lost in a liquid state, so they hid the gold in the duty room of the eighth carriage and sent two guards to guard it, while the rest went back and forth in several carriages.
At this time, there was a person lying in a certain carriage, his face was extremely ugly, his body trembled slightly, his fists clenched and the sound of teeth rubbing, and he was angry to the extreme, but he could only cover his head and break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
