As far as the hope is great, there is disappointment.

Huang Dazhi's discovery shocked everyone's spirits, and it seemed that the murderer would be caught in the next moment, but in fact, no clues were found after that, and as for the murderer, he was still hiding in the vast mountains.

This result surprised everyone, but it was getting dark, and they knew that they could not continue to investigate.

With the hope that the murderer would be found in the next moment, they missed the opportunity to return to the mountain from the shortcut and could only stay in the mountains for another night.

But there wasn't much food to take with me.

Gao Guobing said decisively: "Brother Wang, you are familiar with this mountain, you can take us to hunt some game!" ”

Mayor Wang's younger brother is named Wang Aiguo, a sturdy man who has birds at home and used to hunt in the mountains.

"Good. This is the area infested by wild boars, so I'll take you to find the traces of wild boars! This year, the weather is dry, there is little food in the mountains, and the wild boars in the mountains have come down several times. Wang Aiguo spoke, and after distinguishing the direction, he led everyone to look for wild boars.

There are a large number of wild peach trees in Taohualing, as well as other wild jujubes, wild loquat and other fruit trees, it is said that wild boars in the mountains often eat these wild fruits, so the meat is very delicious, every autumn and winter, there are people who venture into the mountains to hunt, but there are not many people who can catch wild boars.

Under the leadership of Wang Aiguo, the group soon found a group of wild boars, which numbered only four of them, and were lying on the slope of a sheltered hill at this time.

It was getting dark, and the light was dimming.

Because Gao Guobing was there, everyone asked Gao Guobing to shoot.

Gao Guobing's marksmanship was good, so he didn't shirk it, took out his pistol, aimed it at one of the smaller wild boars, and opened fire.

Bang!

The sound of gunfire was heard far and wide in the silent forest.

It was the time when the tired birds returned to the forest, but because of the sudden gunshots, the birds and beasts in the woods were alarmed, and the wild boars ran for their lives in an instant, and the birds jumped in shock.

"Good marksmanship in the high game!" The accompanying people praised loudly, only to see that the fallen boar had been shot in the head and had been killed with one blow.

Gao Guobing was not complacent, but said: "Find a place with a water source and clean up this wild boar." ”

"Hey, come with me, I know there's a spring around here." Wang Aiguo led everyone towards a water source.

Huang Dazhi and others worked together to carry the wild boar.

This wild boar is not big, at most a hundred catties. But everyone stayed in the mountains for three days, did not eat well, did not sleep well, and consumed a lot of physical strength every day, and few people could easily carry a hundred pounds of heavy objects at this time.

On this night, the fire is lit, the smell of meat wafts in the wind, and it is always a joy to have meat to eat, so everyone has a smile on their faces.

Huang Dazhi ate a belly of barbecue, and at this time lazily leaned his back against the trunk of the tree, looking at the starry sky with empty eyes.

The others were also sitting against the tree, and Wang Aiguo asked, "Gao Ju, will we continue to chase the murderer tomorrow, or will we go down the mountain?" ”

Gao Guobing groaned and did not answer immediately. He glanced at the team he led, there were eight people in this team, four police officers, and four locals from Wangqiao Town.

It's cold in winter, and it's even colder to spend the night in the mountains. Because of going into the mountains to chase the murderer for several days, everyone's state was not very good at this time, even he was a little uncomfortable, but he just endured it and didn't say anything.

After a while, he said, "Tomorrow we will go down the mountain!" ”

When everyone heard this decision, their mood was delicate, there was a sense of relief and a sense of unwillingness, they had been running in the mountains for so long, and they found the rags left by the suspected murderer, but they couldn't find the murderer for a long time.

But if I continue to stay in the mountains to look for it, my body is a little unbearable.

The night was still a vigil in turns, and the night passed quietly.

Early the next morning, the group packed up their things, each carrying a few catties of wild boar on their backs, and went down the mountain.

Under the leadership of Wang Aiguo, they took a shortcut, but the so-called shortcut was actually very steep, and when going down the mountain, they had to be careful enough, otherwise there was a risk of falling down the mountain.

Even though they were good, some people were still injured in the process of descending the mountain.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious and he could barely walk. went all the way down the mountain, but did not return to Wangqiao Town until the evening.

When he arrived in Wangqiao Town, Huang Dazhi saw a familiar person.

"Ming Cheng!" Seeing Gao Mingcheng, Huang Dazhi's mood was a little excited. He guessed that those jade pendants and jade cows were from Wang Zhi's hand, and he guessed that Wang Zhi might have excavated an ancient tomb.

But he always kept it in his heart and didn't dare to tell anyone else.

Now that he sees Gao Mingcheng, he can't wait to talk to someone, but now that there are many people, he can't say it right away.

Gao Mingcheng noticed Huang Dazhi's excitement, but he just nodded to him first, then looked at Gao Guobing and said, "Uncle, you have been in the mountains for so long, are you okay?" ”

Gao Guobing looked tired, he nodded, and said, "It's okay." How did you get here? ”

Gao Mingcheng said: "I went back to the county yesterday, but I heard that there was a big case here, and my aunt said that you haven't gone home since you left on the fourth day of junior high school, and she is a little worried about you." I thought I was fine, so I came to see you for my aunt. Oh, and my aunt asked me to bring you some food and a change of clothes. ”

Hearing that it was Zhao Dongmei who called Gao Mingcheng over, the expression on Gao Guobing's face eased a lot, and he was also happy in his heart.

I came out to handle the case this time and didn't go home for seven days, and it was normal for Zhao Dongmei to worry about him.

He asked Gao Hong's results again.

He is still very concerned about his eldest son's marriage.

Gao Mingcheng said: "It's successful, my aunt said that both sides are interested, the two went to the park together on the fifth day of the new year, and the chat was not bad, Gao Hong returned to the army on the sixth day of the junior high school, but the two said that they would exchange letters." ”

When Gao Guobing heard this, a smile appeared on his face.

Gao Hong's woman is a graduate of a secondary school and works as a teacher in a junior high school in the county, and most of the people in her family are officials, and they are all in the education system.

Therefore, the two parties are a good match, as long as they look at the right eye, then it is a good marriage.

Then he asked about Gao Yue again. I learned that Gao Yue was on duty at the police station, and by the way, he did physical training.

Because of this case, most of the police officers have been transferred, so Gao Yue is on duty at the police station, and if there are some small cases, he also has the ability to investigate.

Knowing that everything was fine, Gao Guobing was relieved.

At this time, the mayor of Wangqiao Town came over warmly to greet them to dinner.

Gao Guobing immediately asked, "Mayor Wang, have the other three squads gone down the mountain?" Did they gain anything? ”

Mayor Wang immediately said, "They went down the mountain yesterday. However, I heard that you didn't go down the mountain in the high bureau, so early this morning, I led the team into the mountain again. I haven't returned yet, and I may have to spend the night in the mountains. ”

When Gao Guobing heard this, he sighed.

This dinner, everyone devoured it, firstly because I was hungry, and secondly, I didn't eat normal hot meals for several days, so I missed it very much.

After the meal, Gao Guobing asked everyone to have a good night's rest and make arrangements tomorrow morning.

Mayor Wang prepared a room for them to rest, but the conditions were average, and two or three people had to share a room.

Gao Guobing hadn't taken a bath for a few days, and now he had a change of clothes sent by Zhao Dongmei, so he went to take a shower immediately.

Taking advantage of this time, Gao Mingcheng found Huang Dazhi.

Huang Dazhi gave him a look, and the two came to a secluded place one after the other.

There was no one around, it was dark.

"Dazhi, do you have anything to say?" Gao Mingcheng asked.

Huang Dazhi immediately told his discovery and speculation, and then said quite nervously: "If Wang Zhi really excavated an ancient tomb, then should those jade pendants and jade cows be handed over?" ”

Gao Mingcheng didn't expect that it would be involved in that matter, and he pondered for a moment before saying: "It's just your guess now, even if it's true, don't hand it in, it's better to have more than one thing." ”

If Huang Dazhi turns it in now, then others will not praise him, but will care about him before he ignores things.

There are some things that need to be decided on the spot and are difficult to make up for after the fact.

Huang Dazhi listened to Gao Mingcheng's words, thoughtful, but also instantly relieved.

Only he and Gao Mingcheng knew about that matter, and it was very secretive.

"You said you found the scraps of fabric left by the murderer in the mountains? In which direction? Gao Mingcheng asked.

Huang Dazhi didn't think much about it, faced Taohualing, pointed in a direction, and said, "From there, you have to go a long way." ”

Gao Mingcheng remembered that position, and then said, "You're also tired, go and rest first." Don't think about it. ”

"Okay." Huang Dazhi was indeed tired, and after his mood relaxed, he felt even more tired at this time.

The two said goodbye and separated, and Huang Dazhi went back to the room to rest, but Gao Mingcheng did not go back to rest.

He looked around left and right, and saw that no one noticed, so he went all the way towards Taohualing.

The direction he went was the direction that Huang Dazhi directed.

In the inaccessible mountains, fragments of clothes that matched the murderer were found, and Gao Mingcheng also felt that it was very likely that the murderer left them.

He decided to go into the mountains to have a look.

If you don't know about Yu Pei, then the murderer entered the mountain after the killing, and Gao Mingcheng would only think that the murderer was evading the arrest of the police.

Many people who commit crimes will hide in the mountains, and if they are lucky, they will not be caught by the police at all.

Now the mountains and forests are dense, and there is no Skynet system, and the people who have committed crimes run into the mountains, if you want to chase them, you can only use stupid methods like Gao Guobing and them, and keep looking for them in the mountains.

But knowing about the jade pendant, Gao Mingcheng had one more guess about the murderer entering the mountain.

What do people with gambling addiction care about the most?

The gambling person doesn't recognize his six relatives, and what he cares about most is winning or losing, which is to turn the book!

If you win, you always want to win, and if you lose, you want to turn it over. But Wang Zhi has come to the end of his rope, how can he turn the book?

If he knew about the ancient tombs, would he make a profit by robbing the tombs and then turn over the books?

This possibility is very large, so Gao Mingcheng wants to verify it.

A cold moon hung alone in the sky, and the light moonlight sprinkled down, but it could not break through the darkness of the forest.

Gao Mingcheng flashlight, running quickly in the mountains and forests, he was very fast, when he encountered a small hill, he jumped up, and when he encountered a small ravine, he jumped directly over.

It was his first time in Taohualing, and it was still at night. But he was no stranger to this, after all, he was often active on the other side of Oxtail Ridge.

Although the mountain is not a mountain, the topography of the mountain is generally the same, and you only need to pay attention along the way, and there will be no accidents.

The reason why he entered the mountain overnight was because during the day, someone would enter the mountain to search, which would make it inconvenient for him to move.

The silent and uninhabited mountains are the places where he can use his fists and feet at will.

Because it was winter, the mountains and forests were relatively sparse, but it was also convenient for Gao Mingcheng to run, although the weather was cold, he was sweating lightly.

He ran all the way, surveying his surroundings along the way.

But the night still affected his eyesight, and the information he could detect was limited.

Gao Mingcheng was not discouraged, he just ran all the way, and soon, he entered the deep mountains, and where it would take others a day to reach, he easily arrived.

In his previous life, he had robbed tombs and smuggled antiques, although he still knew little about it, but he had a little experience, and he knew what the tombs in their area were generally like and where they would be there.

With this knowledge, he quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests.

When he climbed over a mountain and stood on the top of the mountain, he could see a few fires jumping in the vast mountain forest, and he guessed that these fires might have been lit by the police officers who had entered the mountain to find the murderer.

Looking at where they were, they were already far behind him.

Retracting his gaze, Gao Mingcheng continued to go into the mountains.

……

In a cave deep in the mountains, Wang Zhi, dressed in black cotton clothes, was curled up and sleeping.

After a few days on the run, he was almost emaciated, covered in dirt, with hair like a chicken's nest, especially with dirt and dirt between his fingernails.

But his cave was not empty, but was piled up with something, and if you looked closely, there were some clay pots and porcelain, and half of the yellow muntjac meat, and on the side of the yellow muntjac meat there were traces of burning fire and bones left over from eating.

Wang Zhi slept on the withered grass and covered his body with withered grass, although the conditions were simple, he was able to survive.

It's just that in his sleep, he can't sleep steadily, his mouth moves, and he makes a vague voice from time to time: "Win...... To win...... I have the money to flip the book! ”

Not far from the cave, there was a small hill, which had been dug up, and at the bottom were two ancient tombs connected to each other.

This is the tomb of the husband and wife, made in the Song Dynasty, and the two tombs are both independent but connected, because there is a small hole in the middle, which connects the two tombs together.

The ancients believed that there is a spirit after death, so the tomb of the husband and wife was connected so that the husband and wife could take care of each other after death.

At this time, the coffin of the ancient tomb had been opened, revealing two white skeletons, and the sides of the corpses were empty, because the burial goods had been transferred to the cave.

The tomb has been dug up, the things have been obtained, and Wang Zhi plans to go down the mountain after dawn.

Naturally, he did not go down the mountain in the direction of Wangqiao Town, but went to the other side of the mountain.

In the dream, he had exchanged the antiques he had gotten for money, and was gambling with people in a gambling house, this time, he was like a gambling god possessed, he was killing all sides, and he would win every gamble.

"Haha......"

"I won."
