Return to the small mountain village in 1986

Chapter 307 The Essential Qualities of a Gambler

The so-called hope is as great as the disappointment.

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

This result surprised everyone, but as the sky was getting dark, they knew that they could not continue their investigation.

Because of the idea that they would find the murderer in the next moment, they missed the opportunity to return down the mountain by the shortcut, and could only stay in the mountain for one night.

But there is not much food to carry with you.

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

Mayor Wang's younger brother is named Wang Aiguo, he is a well-built man, he has a blunderbuss at home, and he used to go hunting in the mountains often.

"Okay. This area is the area where wild boars are infested. I will take you to find the traces of wild boars! The sky is dry this year, and there is little food in the mountains. The wild boars in the mountains have gone down the mountain several times." Wang Aiguo said, and then distinguished After 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 fruit trees such as wild jujube and wild loquat. It is said that the wild boars in the mountain often eat these wild fruits, so the meat is very delicious. Every autumn and winter, people venture into the mountain to hunt, but There are not many people who can kill wild boars.

Under the leadership of Wang Aiguo, the group soon found a herd of wild boars. There were only four wild boars lying down on the hillside sheltered from the wind.

It was getting dark and the light was gradually dimming.

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

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

boom!
The sound of gunfire spread far, far away in the silent forest.

It was the time when the tired bird was returning to the forest, but because of the sudden sound of gunfire, the birds and beasts in the forest were alarmed, and the wild boar ran wildly for their lives in an instant, and the birds jumped in surprise.

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

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

"Hey, come with me, I know there is a spring near here." Wang Aiguo led everyone to a water source.

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

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

This night, the fire was lit, and the smell of meat drifted with the wind. It was always a happy thing to eat meat, so everyone had smiles on their faces.

Huang Dazhi ate his stomach full of barbecue. At this time, he leaned his back against the tree trunk lazily, and looked at the starry sky with empty eyes.

The others were also sitting against the tree, Wang Aiguo asked: "Gao Ju, shall we continue chasing the murderer tomorrow, or go down the mountain?"

Gao Guobing mused, but did not answer right away.He glanced at the team he was leading. There were eight people in this team, including four police officers and four local people from Wangqiao Town.

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

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

When everyone heard this decision, they were in a delicate mood. There was a sense of relief and a sense of resignation. After traveling in the mountains for so long, they all found the rags left by the suspected murderer, but they couldn't find them for a long time. to the murderer.

But if he continued to search in the mountains, his body couldn't bear it.

This night was still a night of vigil in turn, and the night passed quietly.

Early the next morning, a group of people packed up their things and went down the mountain with a few catties of wild pork on their backs.

Under the leadership of Wang Aiguo, they took a shortcut, but the so-called shortcut was actually very steep. When going down the mountain, they must be careful enough, otherwise they risked falling from the mountain.

Even though they were all doing well, someone was still injured on the way down the mountain.

Fortunately, the injury is not serious, and he can barely walk.All the way down the mountain, but did not return to Wangqiao Town until evening.

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

"Mingcheng!" Seeing Gao Mingcheng, Huang Dazhi was a little excited.He guessed that those jade pendants and cows were made by Wang Zhi, and guessed that Wang Zhi might have dug an ancient tomb.

But he kept this matter in his heart all the time, and he didn't dare to tell anyone else.

Now that he saw Gao Mingcheng, he couldn't wait to tell others, but now that there were so many people, he couldn'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 stayed in the mountains for so long, are you okay?"

Gao Guobing looked tired. He nodded and said, "It's okay. Why are you here?"

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

Hearing that it was Zhao Dongmei calling Gao Mingcheng to come over, Gao Guobing's expression eased a lot, and he was also happy.

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

He asked Gao Hong again about the results of his visit.

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

Gao Mingcheng said: "It succeeded. My aunt said that both parties are interested. On the fifth day of the fifth day, the two went to the park together and had a good chat. Gao Hong returned to the army on the sixth day, but the two agreed to exchange letters."

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

The woman Gao Hong looked at had graduated from a technical secondary school and worked as a teacher in a junior high school in the county, and most of the people in her family were officials, and they were all in the education system.

Therefore, the two parties are considered to be well-matched, as long as they have the right eyes, then it will be a very good marriage.

Then he asked Gao Yue again.Knowing that Gao Yue is on duty at the police station, he conducts physical training by the way.

Because of this case, most of the police officers were dispatched, so Gao Yue was on duty at the police station. If there were some small cases, he was also capable of investigating them.

Knowing that everything is fine, Gao Guobing was relieved.

At this time, the mayor of Wangqiao Town warmly greeted them to have dinner.

Gao Guobing immediately asked: "Major Wang, have the other three teams gone down the mountain? Have they gained anything?"

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

Hearing this, Gao Guobing sighed.

Everyone wolfed down this dinner, firstly because they were hungry, and secondly because they hadn’t had normal hot meals and dishes for a few days, so they 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 showered for a few days, and now that Zhao Dongmei sent him a change of clothes, he went to take a shower immediately.

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

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

There's no one around here, it's pitch black.

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

Huang Dazhi immediately stated his discovery and guess, and then said nervously: "If Wang Zhi really excavated an ancient tomb, do you want to hand over those jade pendants and jade cattle?"

Gao Mingcheng didn't expect to be involved in that matter. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Now it's just your guess. Even if it's true, don't hand it in. One more thing is worse than one less thing."

If Huang Dazhi handed it in now, then others would not praise him, but would care about him ignoring it before.

Some things need to be decided on the spot, and it is difficult to make up for it afterwards.

After hearing Gao Mingcheng's words, Huang Dazhi was thoughtful, but he was instantly relieved.

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

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

Huang Dazhi didn't think much, facing Taohua Ridge, pointed in a direction, and said, "It's a long way to go from there."

Gao Mingcheng remembered that position, and then said: "You are tired too, go and rest first. Don't think about it too much."

"Okay." Huang Dazhi was indeed tired, and after relaxing, he felt even more tired now.

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

He looked around and saw no one noticed, so he headed all the way to Taohua Ridge.

The direction he was going was the direction Huang Dazhi directed.

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

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

If he didn't know about Yupei, Gao Mingcheng would only think that the murderer was avoiding the police's arrest if he entered the mountain after the murder.

Many people who committed crimes would hide in the mountains. If they were lucky, they would never be caught by the police.

Now the mountains are densely forested, and there is no skynet system. 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 the others, and keep searching in the mountains.

But knowing about Yupei, Gao Mingcheng had one more guess about the murderer's entry into the mountain.

What do people with a gambling addiction care about most?
A gambler doesn't recognize his relatives, what he cares most about is winning or losing, making money!

If you win, you always want to win, if you lose, you want to make money.But Wang Zhi has come to the end of the road, how can he make money?

If he knew the ancient tomb, would he make a profit by robbing the tomb, and then go for it?
This possibility is very high, so Gao Mingcheng wants to verify it.

A cold moon hangs alone in the sky, and the light moonlight falls, but it can't break through the darkness in the forest.

Gao Mingcheng was running fast in the mountains and forests with a flashlight on. 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.

It was his first time to Taohualing, and it was still at night.But he is not unfamiliar with this, after all he is often active in Niuwei Ridge.

Although the mountain is not a mountain, the terrain of the mountain is roughly the same. You just need to pay attention along the way, and nothing will happen.

The reason why he went into the mountain at night was because during the day, someone would go into the mountain to search, but it was inconvenient for him to move.

The quiet and deserted mountain is the place where he can flex his fists at will.

Because it is winter, the mountains and forests are relatively sparse, which is convenient for Gao Mingcheng to run. Although the weather is cold, he is sweating a little.

He ran all the way, exploring the surrounding environment all the way.

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

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

In his previous life, he had robbed tombs and smuggled antiques. Although he still didn't know much about it, he had some experience at least. He knew what the ancient tombs in their area looked like and where they might be found.

Relying on this knowledge, he quickly shuttled between the mountains and forests.

He climbed over a mountain, and when he stood on the top of the mountain, he could see some flames jumping in the vast forest. He guessed that these flames might be lit by the police officers who went into the mountain to find the murderer.

Judging from where they were, they were already far behind him.

Looking back, Gao Mingcheng continued to go to the mountains.

……

In a cave in the deep mountains, Wang Zhi, who was wearing a black padded coat, was sleeping curled up.

After several days of fleeing, he was almost skinny, his whole body was dirty, his hair was like a chicken coop, especially his nails were full of dirt and dirt.

But his cave is not empty, but piled up with some things. If you look closely, there are some clay pots and porcelain, and half of the yellow deer meat. On the side of the yellow deer meat, there are traces of the fire and leftover under the bones.

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

It's just that he was sleeping restlessly in his sleep, his mouth was moving, and he made a vague sound from time to time: "Win...to win...I have money to make money!"

Not far from the cave, there is a small hill, which has been dug up, and there are actually two ancient tombs connected together under it.

This is the couple's tomb, made in the Song Dynasty. The two tombs are independent but connected, because there is a small hole in the middle that connects the two tombs.

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

At this time, the inner and outer coffins of the ancient tomb had been opened, revealing two white skeleton corpses. There was nothing beside the corpses, because the funerary objects had been transferred to the cave.

The tomb has been dug up and the things are in hand. Wang Zhi plans to go down the mountain after dawn.

Naturally, he didn't 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 got for money, and was gambling with people in a gambling house. This time, he seemed to be possessed by the god of gamblers, and he killed all directions, winning every bet.

"Ha ha……"

"I won."
