Chapter 19: The Theft of Raw Silk from the Custody House

Xinglan had just negotiated a big deal, and happily came to the storage room to see the stored raw silk, but when she opened the door, she was stunned there, and there was less raw silk.

Originally, when the raw silk was collected, it was called raw silk locks.

In this storage room, the shelves are made of wood, and all the raw silk dreadlocks are placed on the shelves, so that the raw silk dreadlocks are not easy to be pressed and deformed.

Behind the shelves, a small single bed was placed, where the soldiers lived at night and used as night care.

Xinglan saw that at the innermost part of the shelf, almost half of the raw silk on the bottom shelf was gone.

It seems that the soldier didn't find out, did he not come to sleep at night or did he fall asleep and the thief didn't hear?

Xingting thought about his thoughts, and when he returned home, he didn't tell his old father to leave a letter, worried that he would not be able to stand it if he knew it at his age.

After thinking about it for a while, he decided to go to the Shuangding Ziliang garrison to discuss with Xingliang and see what to do about it.

When he arrived at the station of the independent battalion, the sentry did not dare to slack off after asking, and immediately went to report, and after a while, Xingliang came out.

The two found a place where there was no one, and Xinglan told Xingliang in detail about the loss of raw silk.

Xingliang listened to it for a long time, saying that it was right not to tell his father, and he was anxious for his eldest brother, but he didn't come up with any ideas after thinking about it for a long time.

He was pondering......

Suddenly, Xingliang slapped his thigh and said: Yes, how did I forget him.

Who forgot? Why are you still talking like you were startled, Xinglan said with a straight face.

Big brother, you come with me, Xingliang pulled Xinglan and entered the barracks.

After entering the barracks, he first found Zhou Lijun, and then arranged for someone to call Shao Changkun, the commander of the spy company, to the battalion headquarters.

Then he explained the situation that the eldest brother Xinglan said to the two of them.

Camp Chief Zhou smiled and said, this is not a big deal, Chang Kun is the most expert in investigating this kind of thing, so arrange Chang Kun to handle this matter.

By acting with Xingliang last time, Shao Changkun felt very good about Xingliang, not only did he not have the shelf of a superior commander, but he also rushed forward at the critical moment, he was a man.

So, he didn't say a word, and readily agreed.

After all, he was the company commander of the reconnaissance spy company, and when he came up, he asked: You can tell me how many people in your village usually have unclean hands and feet, or who like to gamble, and who are messing with the relationship between men and women.

Xinglan didn't dare to slack off, and said it one by one with her fingers, and Xinglan couldn't think of it, so Xingliang made a supplement for him.

As the saying goes, depending on a person's character, the neighbor's house is a scale.

It means that the people in the same village, who are what kind of temper and what kind of people, his neighbor knows best.

After listening to it next to each other, Shao Changkun said, don't worry, eldest brother, I have an idea about this matter.

If you don't brag, you'll die! Zhou Lijun scolded Shao Changkun with a smile.

My battalion commander, I'm not bragging! Shao Changkun pretended to be aggrieved and said: You think, this Jingdi Village is surrounded by mountains, and the volume of this more than 100 catties of raw silk is so large, it is not easy for one person to transport it out of the mountain. It's to be transported out, after all, it's such a big closed village, and it will definitely leave clues.

After listening to the descriptions of the two elder brothers, I feel that the possibility of these people with bad deeds jointly stealing from each other is basically untenable. Therefore, I judged that these lost raw silk must still be hidden somewhere in the village at the bottom of the well.

Therefore, as long as we send people to watch all the roads out of the village and strictly control them, the fox will definitely show its tail. Also, if you can find the soldier who guards the door to find out, if you can confirm that it was lost last night, then what I said just now is true, if you can't determine the specific time of loss, then there is no guarantee that the lost raw silk is still in the bottom of the well.

But the soldiers followed Xingquan out to buy raw silk today and were not at home, Xingliang said.

Shao Changkun said, it doesn't matter, when he comes back in the afternoon, I must see him and understand the situation in person.

When it was almost dark, the soldiers finally returned.

The soldiers said that because they needed to go out to the countryside today, they didn't check the shelves next to each other in the morning, but when they looked at each other yesterday morning, the raw silk had not been lost.

Shao Changkun asked him again, didn't he hear any sound when he went to bed last night?

The soldier's face turned red all of a sudden...... and suddenly he blushed and stopped talking.

Later, even Xingliang and Xinglan were asking about last night, seeing that the two cousins were really anxious, losing so much raw silk was not a trivial matter, so they had no choice but to tell the truth.

It turned out that there was a widow in the village, and the man was also surnamed Wang, and then the man went out to sell stupid cigarettes, and was killed by the Yellow River. I was in a hurry in the morning and didn't check the shelves next to each other to take a look, but I didn't expect something to happen......

Shao Changkun carefully asked who the widow's neighbors were, and after listening to the introduction, his eyes suddenly lit up.

In the evening, Shao Changkun arranged several groups of soldiers to go to the homes of those who had been analyzed to have bad deeds, and in order to prevent accidents, they also ambushed soldiers on the two roads that had to be passed out of Jingdi Village. After a series of arrangements went on, he had tea with the two brothers at the battalion headquarters and Zhou and Xingliang, and said, If my judgment is correct, there will definitely be results tonight and tomorrow, and when I asked him the reason, he smiled but did not answer.

In this way, everyone drank tea and chatted, and later Xingliang saw that Camp Commander Zhou began to yawn, took out his pocket watch and looked at it and said, it is more than eleven o'clock, there should be nothing to do tonight, everyone should rest early.

Because Xingliang is kind to the independent battalion, no matter how late he stays up, as long as Xingliang doesn't open his mouth, Camp Commander Zhou will insist on staying with him no matter how sleepy he is.

Xinglan also followed the words of the fifth brother and said that she needed to sleep.

Everyone then said hello and prepared to go to sleep, and just as they reached the entrance of the camp department, suddenly a noisy voice came.

Zhou Lijun frowned, and when he was about to get angry and ask what was the quarrel, a soldier ran over and saluted and reported, saying that he had caught a thief......

I want to know what kind of thief the soldiers caught, whether this thief was the one who stole the raw silk, and listen to the next time for you to break down, the next time will be more exciting.
