Chapter 260: Strange Scene, Great Scheme!
Yao Weimin's request made the village chief a little embarrassed, but after hesitating, the latter nodded and agreed, but it also made it clear that there were members of the investigation team who were injured, and the old doctor might not have time.
"Two comrades, you two sit down and drink tea for a while, and I'll go see if the old doctor is free now."
After the village chief finished speaking, he turned around and went out.
Yao Weimin stood up at the right time, smiled and waved his hand:
"That's not good, it's just to open my eyes, and it seems insincere to sit here and wait.
Let's just go with you, and when we get to the door later, we will wait outside, and if it is convenient for the master, we will go in directly. ”
"Well, huh...... Okay, then you two come with me! The village chief groaned slightly, nodded briskly and agreed, and left the village with Yao Weimin and Su Jianjun.
Walking all the way north along the streets of the village, Yao Weimin and the two walked behind, shirts and trousers, and work bags, giving people a look of cadres from the city, which attracted the attention of many villagers.
Among them was Zhao Quan, who was going to work in the orchard with a donkey cart at this time, and saw the village chief leading Yao Weimin and the two people towards the north of the village, his face couldn't help but be stunned, and when he saw Yao Weimin nodding at him, he tried his best to squeeze out a smile, and then hurriedly caught up with the donkey cart and walked away.
"Wei Min, what's wrong with Lao Zhao? I was quite enthusiastic when I just ate, why don't you seem to be willing to take care of us now? ”
Su Jianjun also felt that something was wrong with Zhao Quan at this time, and couldn't help muttering.
Yao Weimin narrowed his eyes slightly, and noticed that the village chief in front of him happened to look back at this time, so he didn't say anything, and walked forward with Su Jianjun to speed up.
Soon, the three of them came to the gate of the courtyard in the northernmost part of the village.
Yao Weimin looked at it and found that this courtyard was no different from the other neighbors, it was all four earthen houses, plus a large patio.
The courtyard wall is also made of earthen embryos, about one person high, and the outer surface of the lake is mixed with hay mud to prevent rain from washing and damaging the wall.
Winter Winter ......
The village chief stepped forward and knocked on the door, but only after a few knocks, he found that the courtyard door was hidden and not bolted tightly.
"Huh? Why haven't you cut the door today? The village chief was suspicious, and the next moment he signaled Yao Weimin and the two of them to wait at the door for a while, and stepped into the courtyard.
"Hiss......" Su Jianjun stood under the courtyard gate at this time, took a hard breath, and then smashed his mouth like drinking tea, revealing his taste.
But soon his face showed disdain, "Hey, this is the best feng shui level?" The breath you breathe in is no different. ”
Yao Weimin's originally slightly solemn face was a little crying and laughing when he heard him say this, but when he was about to remind Su Jianjun to be serious, he saw the village chief walking back with a frown.
"It's weird, there's no one in the house, where have they gone?"
Yao Weimin heard the village chief's self-talk, no longer hesitated, stepped into the courtyard, and walked towards the house, Su Jianjun followed, the village chief saw that the two entered the courtyard without saying hello, worried about something, and hurriedly turned back.
Yao Weimin walked in front, pushed open the door in a few steps, and found that it was empty inside, and there was no figure in sight.
The other three rooms were also inside, but they were also empty.
"Let's go to the front yard!" After Yao Weimin finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the difficult side of the courtyard.
The entire courtyard is divided into two areas by a wooden fence, in addition to planting a few kinds of greens in the south courtyard, there are also two earthen embryo bungalows, Yao Weimin did not find Xu Damao in the main house, so he walked into the south courtyard.
Lifting the reed straw curtain at the door of the outhouse, I felt a cold breath as soon as I entered, although the room was as hot as the weather outside, but it was terrifying, and I instinctively felt cold and weird.
"Groove! What the hell is this place, in broad daylight, how do I feel so bad when I come in! ”
Su Jianjun, who followed in, couldn't help but shiver, and a touch of vigilance appeared on his face.
At this time, the village chief also walked in, and his face was also not very good-looking.
Yao Weimin clearly felt that the atmosphere here was wrong, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked around the environment in the house, and found that there was nothing in the outhouse except for a broken table and two chairs.
And when he lifted the black straw curtain and entered the back room, he immediately saw the canvas bag on the earthen kang.
It was the canvas bag that Xu Damao took away from home last night, and it was placed at the end of the kang at this time, with obvious depressions on it, which was obviously used by Xu Damao as a pillow last night.
In addition to the earthen kang covered with several layers of fabric, and Xu Damao's canvas bag, there is no furniture in the whole room.
Yao Weimin Huo Ran turned his head to look at the village chief in his fifties, and his voice was serious and cold, "What about the people who live here, where did you go!" ”
The village chief was stunned on the spot when he was asked, and he couldn't help but subconsciously wipe the cold sweat on his face when he was asked, and he was a little flustered.
"Comrade Yao, I ...... How do I know, this ...... This is obviously a livestock pen, how can it still ...... It's on the plate! ”
"Village chief, don't pretend to be a lake at this time!"
Su Jianjun took a vicious step forward, pointed to the canvas bag and scolded:
"See, this is my friend's bag, it's useless for you to say anything else, the evidence is here, he came to this family last night, and now the person is gone, what do you say!"
The village chief kept wiping a cold sweat, and he couldn't digest so much information for a while, he coughed a few times, and said with a sad face:
"I'm ...... I haven't even seen your friend's face, you really can't rely on me, oh, could it be that Old Man Chen took him out to visit the door? ”
"This family's surname is Chen, right? Tell me about him! ”
Hearing this, Yao Weimin turned his head and looked at the village chief, and after speaking, he continued to look at the environment in the house.
"Comrade Yao, Comrade Su, are you really the cadres from the procurement station who came to inspect persimmons?"
The village chief did not respond to Yao Weimin's words, but confirmed in a low voice with courage.
"What nonsense, haven't you seen all the work permits? This can still be fake! ”
Su Jianjun raised his voice impatiently.
It was mainly because he stayed in this house and made him feel irritable, if it weren't for the fact that Yao Weimin's neighbor's whereabouts were unknown and needed to be carefully interrogated, he would rather go to the sun and bask in the sun than stay in this house.
Crash!
At this time, Yao Weimin frowned and slowly lifted the layers of sheets that had been dragged to the ground, revealing the appearance of the earthen kang inside.
When I saw the material and shape of the kang clearly, the room suddenly fell silent.
I saw that the pit was not built up of soil embryos, but layers of large green bricks.
Some of the green bricks are still stained with dried black soil, and a black wooden board is placed on the top layer, which makes the whole kang look extremely weird.
Yao Weimin leaned down, pinched a small piece of black soil on the green brick with his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, his brows immediately furrowed, and his expression became even more ugly.
He smelled a smell of decay that was so strong that it was like the smell of a dead dog and a dead cat after it had rotted!
At this time, Su Jianjun and the village chief also squatted down, sniffed close to the green bricks, and suddenly subconsciously fanned the air in front of their noses, revealing a disgusting look of resistance.
"This should be a brick from a dead man's burial chamber......"
After Yao Weimin finished speaking, he pinched the corner of the wooden board on the kang and slowly lifted it upward.
The next moment, the three of them saw the scene in the middle of the earthen kang.
It turned out that the entire earthen kang, except for a few layers of green bricks around it, was hollow in the middle, and there were some black dirt scattered on the ground, which also emitted a disgusting smell of decay.
"See, there's a big problem, right?! Now can you tell me what that old thing surnamed Chen does?! ”
Su Jianjun pointed to the black soil in the middle of the kang and asked the village chief again.
The village chief was also in a state of confusion at this time, mixed with panic and puzzlement, muttering that he didn't know where to start.
"Don't worry, we are indeed the staff of the purchasing station, and it is also necessary to come to check the quality of persimmons, but it just so happens that we have a friend who came to your village last night, according to him, he came to find God to heal the disease, but now people can't find it, I think it is necessary for you to explain the situation to us in detail with the village chief!"
Yao Weimin explained that he wanted to get some information from the village chief to facilitate the next action arrangement.
Seeing that the village chief was involuntarily fighting a cold war, Yao Weimin signaled to go outside to talk in detail.
The village chief hurriedly ran out of the bungalow in the south courtyard and stood in the sun for a while, then he felt much more comfortable.
"Two comrades, I really don't know what is going on here, Mr. Chen is usually very easy-going, and he gets along well with his neighbors, and he has a high prestige in our village...... Ay! ”
The village chief smiled helplessly, hiding the panic in his eyes, and looked at Yao Weimin and Su Jianjun cautiously, not daring to say anything more.
"The survey team you said also lives around here, right?" Yao Weimin asked coldly.
"Yes, it's next door, they heard that Mr. Chen can heal, so they specially borrowed the courtyard next door to live, so that when they go out to investigate, they can treat it in time if they are injured."
The village chief explained, pointing to the courtyard to the west.
"Let's go, go over and have a look!"
Yao Weimin observed that the village chief's expression did not look like he was lying, and he strode out of the door and walked towards the next door.
The village chief hurriedly trotted all the way to follow, walked to the door of the courtyard first, knocked on the door, and said with a wry smile: "Comrade Yao, don't worry, the comrades of the survey team are injured, maybe it's noon now." ”
But he knocked several times in a row, and no one in the courtyard answered.
Yao Weimin didn't have the heart to continue waiting, he and Su Jianjun glanced at each other, each took a few steps back, and with a hard step, he climbed into the courtyard by holding the wall.
"Hey, what are you ......" The village chief was shocked and anxious when he saw this, but before he finished speaking, the courtyard door had been removed from the inside by Su Jianjun and pushed open.
"Come in, there's not even a single bird feather inside, and those people are probably gone!"
Su Jianjun glared at the village chief angrily, and took the lead in turning around and walking towards the house.
At this time, Yao Weimin had already quickly inspected several main houses, as well as side houses, and like the family surnamed Chen, he didn't see a single figure.
After the village chief came in, he shouted a few loudly, and after making sure that no one answered, he showed a smile that was more ugly than crying at Yao Weimin.
But soon, his smile froze, as if he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly beckoned: "Let's go, let's go to Mr. Chen's courtyard again to take a look, those black mud are wrong!" ”
Yao Weimin's expression moved slightly, and he motioned to Su Jianjun to close the door of the courtyard of this family, and returned to the previous courtyard.
The village chief endured the cold breath, shoveled a little black dirt the size of a palm from the dirt kang of the bungalow in the south courtyard with a shovel, and got it out into the sun outside.
An eerie scene happened.
The black soil, which had looked dry, gradually emerged some dark red liquid under the sun's rays!
Seeing more and more liquid, the pile of dirt at the end melted away as quickly as snow, drifting away with the stench, leaving nothing but a puddle of black marks on the ground at the end!
Yao Weimin narrowed his eyes and looked at the village chief seriously, while Su Jianjun next to him stared at the black mark without blinking, revealing a thick look of disbelief.
"Comrade Yao, I know where this black mud comes from!"
The village chief sighed in his heart, trembling and feeling out the cigarette roll, tried several times but didn't light it, so he had to pinch it in his hand and said in a trembling voice:
"When I was younger, I went hunting in the mountains behind the village, just in time for a torrential rainstorm and a landslide, and this black mud was washed out.
At that time, I was almost buried by this black mud, I thought that my life was completely explained there, but when the rainstorm ended and the sun came out, the sticky black mud that was almost buried in my navel turned into a cloud of black water and flowed away! ”
Speaking of this, the cigarette roll in the village chief's hand was pinched and changed shape, showing the great panic in his heart, and he added with a pale face:
"Decades have passed since this incident, and I never thought that the black mud in the kang was the same as before!
According to what I heard from the old people, these black mud are all alive, protecting a dead official in the mountains, our village is called Ge Lao Village, and I heard that it is also related to that big official.
It's just, Mr. Chen...... Chen Sanlin, the owner of this family, has always loved cleanliness, how can there be such black mud at home? ! ”
After the village chief finished speaking, he thanked Yao Weimin for personally lighting a cigarette for him, and took a hard puff, his face full of doubts and puzzles.
After listening to him say these words, Yao Weimin basically had a general judgment in his heart, except for a few doubts.
The so-called survey team from the village can almost be concluded to be a group of tomb robbers pretending to be a group of tomb robbers, although I don't know how to gain the trust of the village chief, but I think it must have used some means to confuse the effect.
The target of these people must be the burial goods of the big officials in the mountains behind Ge Lao Village!
As for the high-ranking people surnamed Chen in the village, they have long been involved in tomb robbing, and the superficial hanging pot to help the world is just to cover up their identity.
Or, after the arrival of the survey team, they found him, and driven by interests, they reached some kind of cooperation.
The big tomb in the mountain of Gelao Village is extremely dangerous, and there is that kind of weird black mud guard, and it is normal for tomb robbers to find someone with skills in the local area to cooperate.
Therefore, whether it is the former or the latter, what can be determined at present is that the old man surnamed Chen has secretly been in cahoots with the people of the survey team, and the target is the tomb in the mountain behind the village.
As for why he found Xu Damao, Yao Weimin hasn't figured it out yet, especially when he deliberately let Xu Damao sleep on the blue bricks and weird black mud in those tombs, I don't know what role it can play.
In addition, this group of tomb robbers seemed to have calculated the time, and they left suddenly just in time to find Xu Damao, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a coincidence!
At present, Xu Damao's life and death are unknown, and this group of tomb robbers is very likely to have launched an operation, Yao Weimin feels that since he has caught up, there is no reason to stand idly by!
He thought about it slightly, and explained his inference to the village chief with a serious face, but after the latter listened, his head shook like a rattle, and he tried his best to explain:
"Impossible! When pigs fly! The big tomb in the back mountain is just a legend, no one knows the specific location at all, besides, don't look at him Chen Sanlin has some kung fu in his hands, but he is very timid, he ......"
Before the village chief's words were finished, Yao Weimin was too lazy to explain, and directly pointed to the black mark that had dried up on the ground, and squinted coldly.
Suddenly, the village chief's words stopped, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally couldn't help but sigh again, and subconsciously wiped the beads of sweat that fell to his neck.
"Let's not talk about these things yet, your task now is to find Zhao Quan and bring him back as soon as possible, this person should know more than us!"
Yao Weimin commanded the village chief in a deep voice.
The village chief was stunned again when he heard this, and soon whispered with a sad face:
"Comrade Yao, why do you still want to arrest Zhao Quan, this is an honest man and an advanced worker in labor, although I am the village head, I can't arrest him for no reason!"
Yao Weimin glared at him, and patiently explained: "It's not for you to arrest him, but for you to call him back and ask about something, is it difficult?!" ”
"The village chief is still working because you are still working, why can you ink it, yes, I'll go with you, it's always okay!"
Su Jianjun couldn't help but add.
After listening to the explanation, the village chief was no longer so resistant, and nodded in response.
Yao Weimin had already seen it at this time, if he wanted to catch the group of tomb robbers as soon as possible and rescue Xu Damao, he had to let the village chief show full cooperation, and at the same time, this was not enough, and he had to rely on the strength of the local police station.
When he saw the village chief walking towards the courtyard with Su Jianjun, he stopped Su Jianjun from behind and told him in a low voice:
"Jianjun, it's definitely not enough to rely on the two of us now, I need to go to the town immediately to call the contact, you must pay attention to safety here, there is no need to turn his face with Zhao Quan when I see him later, just treat it as a chat, and do some understanding from the side first!"
"Come on, don't worry, Weimin, I have it in my heart!"
Su Jianjun smiled and waved his hand, and strode away with the village chief.
Yao Weimin was not idle, and immediately returned to the village to ride his bicycle and rushed to the nearest town.
