Chapter 176: Deserters appeared
The stone house is a quaint house, the construction days should be a long time, most of the houses are made of wood, the space is not as large as Fu Zhuang, but it is a two-story attic, the wall is not high, the yard is against the wall, there are some flowers and plants that have withered because no one takes care of them, there is an ancient tree in the corner of the east wall, the trunk is thick, but the branches and leaves are scarce, like an old bald old man, and an old swing is hung on a thick branch.
Qian Kai was gathering all the personnel in the courtyard, more than 70 people lined up in five teams, and two captains were checking their names, and after a while, they walked over together to report: "Brother Shi, team leaders, there are indeed two people missing, and it has been accurately identified that it is Wang Jian and Li Dong." ”
Qian Kai nodded, and he turned his head: "Big brother, the missing people have been identified as Wang Jian from Hanshan Cottage and Li Dong from Shijing Town. ”
Shi Wenlong glanced at Qian Kai and said he knew, and then he walked to the front of the team and said loudly: "We will definitely find out the reason for the disappearance of these two people, please cooperate here, who patrolled and was on duty with the two of them last night?"
Three people raised their hands: "We were on patrol together last night." ”
"Okay, you stay, everyone else goes about their own business!" Shi Wenlong said and waved his hand to everyone, making a gesture of disbandment.
Conca hurriedly said, "Big brother, let's go to the hall and talk!"
The group entered the main hall and sat down separately, and Conca asked people to serve hot water, and everyone chatted while drinking.
Shi Wenlong asked, "When did these two people disappear?"
Qian Kai and Kong Ka both shook their heads, Qian Kai said: "Big brother, I don't know the exact time, Kong Ka guards the first half of the night, I am on duty in the second half of the night, these two people are the second batch of people on duty, between the second half of the night and the second half of the night, we are still divided into three shifts on duty, a shift has more than 20 people, three people in a group, take care of each other, it is said that it will be found in time, but no one knows, until this morning when the manpower was counted, it was found that these two people were missing. ”
"Yes, if there is an attack, there will be movement, and how can the companions around them not be aware of it at all? Conca also added.
Shi Wenlong nodded, he looked at the three people sitting on the side, and asked, "Three brothers, have you noticed the abnormal behavior of these two, or when were you together and when were you separated?"
The three of them all stood up, and two of them said: "We are in a group with Li Dong, and nothing different happened when we were on duty, he talked and laughed, and after work, they went separately to rest, and he was fine at that time." ”
Shi Wenlong looked at the third person, who said: "Wang Jian is standing guard in front of the door, I am next door to him, and I whispered a few words at that time, there is no abnormality, and then everyone went back to the room to sleep when the time came." ”
Shi Wenlong closed his eyes and pondered for a moment and asked, "Didn't you all sleep in the same room?"
"The three of us are in the same room, not them, Li Dong and Wang Jian seem to live in the same room, the room next door to us. One of them said.
"Okay, you guys go back!" Shi Wenlong pulled Qian Kai and Kong Ka, "Let's go to their room and have a look." ”
They live in the attic, the most marginal room, close to the laneway, there is a small balcony next to the window, Shi Wenlong stood on the small balcony and poked his head out, you can clearly see the brothers patrolling the laneway, today during the day in the laneway has arranged more than a dozen brothers to stand guard and patrol.
The three of them entered the small room, there were a total of eight people living in it, and the remaining two brothers in the room were cleaning up, and when they saw them coming in, they hurriedly stopped what they were doing, and saluted: "Big brother, Leader Qian, Master Kong!"
Shi Wenlong nodded and asked, "Are Wang Jian and Li Dong sleeping here?"
One of the older brothers nodded, "Yes, the two of them slept in a bunk near the window, and the two of them had a good relationship." ”
"Is there anything unusual about them?"
"No, they're all warm-hearted, very caring, smiling all day long, never losing their temper. ”
"Oh!"
"We are all very sad about their disappearance, Wang Jian said that his daughter-in-law is about to give birth, it should be these days, Li Dong also said that these days are his mother's sixtieth birthday. ”
"Yes, well, did you notice any unusual mood in them when they came back to rest last night?" asked Conca.
"No, I was very tired last night, and I fell asleep when I collapsed. ”
Shi Wenlong looked at the two bunks under the window in disappointment, just an old blanket and a few old clothes on it, but fortunately, the wooden floor was similar to the bed board, and it would not be cold to sleep at night.
"Brother Shi, I slept in a daze last night, as if they came in together, and then it seemed that the two of them said to go and sit on the balcony for a while, and maybe they would go out, but I slept again, and I didn't know anything. The young brother spoke suddenly.
"You mean, instead of resting, they went to the balcony in front of the house?"
"It should be, I heard it in a daze. ”
"How long will it take to get back to the room?" asked Qian Kai loudly.
"I, I really don't know later!" The young man looked at Qian Kai's wide-eyed eyes a little timidly.
Shi Wenlong hurriedly pulled Qian Kai and said to the young man: "It's okay, it's okay, you continue to be busy." ”
The three of them went downstairs and returned to the main hall, where Qian Kai slapped the table and said angrily: "How can you take care of yourself, this fucking deserter, do you still need to ask? A daughter-in-law gave birth to a child and an old mother celebrated her birthday, so she fled back, in fact, tell us directly, will we not let them go back? Why bother, they shouldn't have come to participate in this operation..."
"Brother Qian, don't get excited, maybe there are other reasons?" Conca said busily.
At night, while everyone was not paying attention, I jumped from the balcony to the alley, and escaped from Shimen Town overnight, I hate deserters the most, and if I meet them in the future, I will definitely beat them severely. Qian Kai was furious.
Shi Wenlong groaned for a while, and instructed: "Qian Kai, don't talk nonsense in front of your brothers, if they are really deserters, if they spread out, it will cause great confusion in our army's morale, remember! Now we just said that we are still investigating, and we will inform you after the specific situation is clarified." ”
"Don't worry, big brother, I know. Qian Kai replied.
Shi Wenlong returned to Fu Zhuang, and Equation Wei came over to inquire about the process of the matter.
General Shi Wenlong told him about it, and sighed heavily: "Alas, the situation of deserters is very rare in the past exploits of our Eagle Gang, because we were originally spontaneously organized, and if there is a disaster there, we will issue a notice and inform everyone of the situation, and then choose whether to come or not, it is voluntary to participate, and generally there will be no on-site retreat." ”
"Your Eagle Gang is really a peculiar gang, but it's a great gang of justice, I signed up too, can I?"
"Of course, our purpose is to uphold justice for the people, eliminate violence and evil, welcome you, talent like you is exactly what we need, hahaha!" Shi Wenlong laughed heartily.
Equation Wei was very happy, and looked at Shi Wenlong deeply, "Brother Equation Wei has seen the eldest brother. ”
Shi Wenlong hugged Ji Wei: "Great, we have accepted another good brother who is both wise and brave." ”
"What do you think of these two missing brothers?" asked Shi Wenlong.
Equation Wei thought for a while: "According to the current performance, it is indeed the most likely to desert, if it is killed, it is impossible to suck the blood in the first place, they kill people very much, it is impossible not to be discovered, and after sucking blood, the corpse will definitely stay in place, so what should it be?"
"I've been thinking that if they were deserters, and they were alone in the town at night, it would be very dangerous to escape, and if they didn't say it, they would lose their lives, and the fool would understand why they didn't run away during the day. Shi Wenlong said suspiciously.
"Does the eldest brother mean that something happened?"
Shi Wenlong nodded and said in an affirmative tone: "I believe my brothers, they will not become deserters, there must be something wrong!"
Equation Wei's face suddenly changed: "Could it be that they did it?"
Shi Wenlong hurriedly asked, "Who? Brother Fang thinks so?"
"Black and white stiff. ”
A chill passed through Shi Wenlong's heart, and he slowly stood up, looking at the high courtyard wall in a daze.
Suddenly, there was a lot of excitement outside the door, and there was a noise, "What's wrong?" Equation Wei hurriedly ran to the gate, and a brother just came in, with a happy face.
Equation Wei hurriedly asked, "What happened outside the door?"
The brother happily asked: "Oh, Second Brother Qin has brought someone to bring us supplies, there are a lot of delicious food, and how many jars of good wine are there?"
Equation Wei put his mind at ease, and at this time, two people walked in from the door, weren't they Qin Xiaoxian and Jiang Fei?
Qin Xiaoxian strode towards the courtyard, greeted Equation Wei warmly, and asked, "Where is Brother Shi?"
Equation Wei hurriedly let the two of them live in the main hall, and said: "Big brother is in the house, big brother, look, who's coming?"
Shi Wenlong had already heard the noise, and as soon as he got up and stood up, Qin Xiaoxian had already stepped into the threshold and shouted: "Brother Shi, I'm here, I'm here to send you food and soldiers, how are these days?"
Shi Wenlong greeted him happily, "Second brother, why did you send it in person, just let your subordinates send it, we can't sit in the rear without you! ”
"Big brother, don't worry, the third sister Zhi Fengxia is here with someone, I asked her to sit in Erde Village, isn't this a love for you here? ”
"Great, the third child is here, you are also here in time, we have been thrilling here these days! Come on, come, let me tell you. Shi Wenlong was happy at this time.
It's only been a few days since they saw each other, and the two of them chatted like old friends they hadn't seen for years...
