Retracing the Police Path 1993

Chapter 142 The Legend of Drought
When it was time to go back to report, Ah Chai had already called Liu Pengcheng several times, and he had been back for two days, and it was boring to have no friends.

Liu Pengcheng knew that Ah Chai didn't want to stay at home, maybe it was because his mother was a stepmother, but it seemed that Ah Chai was very kind to his 10-year-old sister, and would buy gifts for the little girl wherever he went.However, Liu Pengcheng was not easy to talk about family affairs, and he couldn't persuade Ah Chai anything.

Liu Pengcheng had no choice but to say goodbye to his family and set off two days earlier.I drove to Dalian, bought an evening ticket from Dalian, drove the car onto the ship, and returned to the third-class cabin to sleep as usual.

It was already past four o'clock in the morning when he woke up, and Liu Pengcheng realized that the sea conditions were not good last night, and it also caught up with the rain, so he arrived late.

When Liu Pengcheng woke up, several people in the same cabin expressed their admiration for Liu Pengcheng. They were all woken up by the shaking, and two of them vomited.Liu Pengcheng's thunderous snoring was not affected at all.An elder sister also asked Liu Pengcheng if he had a good relationship with her sister, and she still called her sister in sleep talk.

Liu Pengcheng quickly blurred the topic and went to the warehouse to find his car.

Because the waves are relatively large, it takes longer for the ship to dock at the pier than last time.By the time Liu Pengcheng got off the boat in his car, it was already half past five in the morning, and the sun was already up.

Liu Pengcheng bought breakfast for everyone on the way, stopped at the gate of the villa area, opened the car window, and shouted, "Uncle Liu, what are you doing so early in the morning?"

The old man who was walking towards the door with a big bag heard the voice and saw that it was Liu Pengcheng. He was overjoyed: "Xiao Liu, just take it back for me."

Uncle Liu is their neighbor, separated from them by three villas.This old man is a Tai Chi enthusiast and can play authentic Chen style Tai Chi.

Liu Pengcheng sometimes does Tai Chi when he gets up in the morning, but he does Tai Chi, the authentic Wudang ancient move.The old and the young met a few times and got to know each other.

Uncle Liu lives here with his son. His son opened a food factory, specializing in the export of pickles, and the benefits are very good.

But Uncle Liu said that his son would die if he made that stuff so bad that he would even feed it to pigs without eating.Fearing that Liu Pengcheng would not believe it, he gave Liu Pengcheng a small box.

Liu Pengcheng saw that it was Japanese-style pickled radish, beautifully packaged, with Japanese characters on it, and the manufacturer was a Nagasaki company.

At dinner that night, everyone had a fresh meal, and they all had to try the taste of Japanese pickles.Then Liu Pengcheng took a bite, and Ah Chai also took a bite, but it was very suitable for Lao Zhou and Guan Tong's taste.In the end, the pickles were also divided between them.

Lao Zhou said that this sweet and sour food is just right with wine, but the problem is that both Liu Pengcheng and Achai drink alcohol, and they don't think this radish is good with wine.

Liu Pengcheng got out of the car and put the big bag that Uncle Liu was holding in the trunk. Uncle Liu had already got into the co-pilot of the car.

In the car, Liu Pengcheng asked Uncle Liu: "What are you buying here? It's really not light."

Uncle Liu said triumphantly, "Glutinous rice, can you buy so much glutinous rice at this time, is it awesome? Who told them they couldn't think of giving Zhonghua cigarettes to the miscellaneous grain sellers in the morning market."

Liu Pengcheng said, "Uncle Liu, you've been eating zongzi for a few months now, why do you still buy so much glutinous rice?"

Uncle Liu looked at Liu Pengcheng and said, "Did you go out?"

Liu Pengcheng said: "Yes, I stayed home for a few days, didn't I just drive off the boat?"

Uncle Liu thought for a while: "At this point, let's take the boat in Dalian, no wonder, then I have to talk to you about it, we, Qingbin, are in a drought right now!"

Liu Pengcheng didn't hear clearly: "What's the trouble?"

Uncle Liu put his mouth to Liu Pengcheng's ear, and said, "Hanba! This thing can't call his name loudly, if he hears us, he will be finished."

Liu Pengcheng almost crashed his car into a tree: "I said, Uncle Liu, why do you believe such things?"

Uncle Liu was not happy: "I believe what you mean. You also practice Tai Chi, do you have Tai Chi, gossip, Yin and Yang? Just because you haven't seen him doesn't mean he doesn't exist. Well, there is nothing we ordinary people don’t believe.”

Liu Pengcheng thought to himself that the rumor-mongers are now going in the direction of death. You usually tell a story if you tell a story. If you have to bring the police station, you can see if the police look for you or not.

Uncle Liu looked at Liu Pengcheng's expression, but he didn't believe it: "Believe it or not, there is no harm in eating more glutinous rice. By the way, put it in your pocket. This thing wards off evil spirits. If you have glutinous rice in your pocket, Hanba will not look for you."

Liu Pengcheng said in his heart that putting rice in his pocket is a proper beggar gang.

At this time, we arrived at Uncle Liu's house.Liu Pengcheng got out of the car, took off the rice first, and then rang the doorbell.

Mr. Liu opened the door, and when he saw Uncle Liu, he said, "Dad, where did you go for a stroll? I was just about to make a call."

I saw Liu Pengcheng say again: "Xiao Liu, thank you for sending the old man back."

Liu Pengcheng: "It's all neighbors, it's okay, you take this over first."

Mr. Liu took the bag and was almost staggered by the fall. He looked down and saw that it was glutinous rice, and said to the old man, "Where did you buy it? It's hard for you to buy so much at this time, Dad, If our family eats glutinous rice again, the intestines and stomachs of the family members will stick together."

Uncle Liu took the bag and had to share it with Liu Pengcheng. First he went home and took a plastic bag, and gave Liu Pengcheng about one-third of it for no reason, and then took the rest to the kitchen.

Liu Pengcheng said to Mr. Liu: "Brother Liu, I just came back after going home. What's wrong with the old man, he was brainwashed by some liar, right?"

Mr. Liu showed a cautious look, and closed the door first, shutting him and Liu Pengcheng out, and then said: "It's really hard to talk about this."

Liu Pengcheng said: "It can't be that you also believe in that Hanba's story."

Mr. Liu said: "You just came back. This thing is really strange. Let me tell you. Actually, I didn't believe it at first. It was rumored that there was no rain in Qingbin for a month. The Public Security Bureau found a place that was said to be related to drought. Then the Hanba was dug out from that place. If you heard about it, wouldn’t you believe it?”

Liu Pengcheng said: "I definitely don't believe it, isn't this a fairy tale?"

Mr. Liu said: "What if there are thousands of witnesses?"

Now Liu Pengcheng was really startled: "Is there any witness?"

Mr. Liu nodded: "Yes, and there are quite a few. An employee of our company is a witness. The place where the Hanba was dug up is less than ten miles away from her home. But she went a little late, and only saw the second half. "

Liu Pengcheng asked strangely: "Is there still a second half?"

Mr. Liu said: "Yes, there is still a second half. After the Public Security Bureau dug up the Hanman, they didn't know what it was, so they called the Cultural Relics Bureau and the Archaeological Institute of Kiyohama University, and finally they determined that it was a Hanman.

Later, the Public Security Bureau held a press conference to refute the rumors that what was dug up was not a Hanba, but a modern mummy.But a modern mummy must have an identity, who died?The Public Security Bureau couldn't tell.And if it's a modern mummy, why are you looking for the Bureau of Cultural Relics and the Institute of Archeology? That press conference was not allowed to report.Do you think this is admitting that there is a drought? "

Liu Pengcheng asked: "What did your employees see?"

Mr. Liu said: "She went late, just in time for the car from the Archaeological Institute and the Bureau of Cultural Relics to arrive at the scene, saying that those experts put on strange clothes and gas masks at a glance, and then the police from the Public Security Bureau Dispel them all, and no onlookers are allowed."

Liu Pengcheng's brows were already knit together. If what Mr. Liu said about his employee's sightings was true, then this rumor was too plausible.

He suddenly had an ominous premonition, he wouldn't let these paladins catch Hanba, would he?
Liu Pengcheng guessed right.

Back at the Palatine House, Lao Zhou was not there as usual.Both Ah Chai and Guan Tong were very surprised that Liu Pengcheng could get so much glutinous rice at this time!
When Liu Pengcheng sent the glutinous rice to the kitchen, put the breakfast on the table, and the three of them had breakfast together, Liu Pengcheng talked about the story he had heard from the Liu family and his son.

A-Chai sighed: "This is another version, but this version is much more believable."

Guan Tong took a sip of sweet foam and said, "We have listened to several versions in the past few days!"

Liu Pengcheng asked, "What is the truth?"

A Chai said: "The case of the unknown mummy."
