The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 172 Meeting the Joyful Meeting (6)

Judging from the theft of gold at that time, the box was suddenly filled with water, and a stream appeared along the bottom of the box.The water in the box began to slowly flow into the stream, and the gold turned into a real big yellow croaker, jumped out of the box into the stream, and then swam away along the stream.

The remaining big yellow croaker in the box died in the box after the water dried up because it failed to jump out of the box; Drilled into the muck, got stuck so turned back into gold bars.

This large yellow croaker and a gold bar echo back and forth, which makes people think that this is a conversion between a gold bar and a large yellow croaker, which "confirms" that such a near-magic thing really happened.Ji Mingmei and Wang Honger also looked at it seriously, but they didn't say anything.After checking the box, I followed the stream at the bottom of the box all the way to the corner of the warehouse.

It is here that the stream is cut off by the wall and continues outside the warehouse.I walked back and forth between the corner and the box several times, seeing that I was silent, Ji Mingmei couldn't help asking: "Hey, did you see anything?"

I didn't answer her, but after walking for the fifth time, I raised my head and said to Brother Fat, "Please ask someone to refill that box with water."

Brother Fat didn't ask why when he heard the words, but waved his hands without saying a word, telling people to do what I said.The box was quickly filled, and I knelt down beside it, staring at it without blinking.Puzzled by Ji Mingmei and the others, they also squatted beside me and watched the water slowly flow from the bottom of the tank into the stream.

The water didn't flow fast, so it took a while to slowly fill a section of the stream.I turned my head to look at them, and suddenly jumped up from the ground.Ji Mingmei and Wang Honger were startled at the same time, Ji Mingmei said in shock, "What's wrong?"

"Ah," I was a little embarrassed, "We squatted here in a row, do you think the water in this stream is contributed by us?"

"What, you're disgusting!" Ji Mingmei blushed and almost punched me with her fist.I coughed lightly, and thought to myself, didn't I just stand up because I thought this posture was not elegant.

Brother Fei and Wang Honger didn't say anything, but stared at the stream for a long time, and then Brother Fei asked me: "And then?"

"And did you find out," I replied, "that there is not enough water in this box to fill this stream."

Gold bars are heavy, but they don't take up much space, so the box is less than a foot long, and the water it can hold is limited.In addition, the ground of the warehouse is rammed with loess, and it absorbs water a little. Therefore, although the water in the box is covered with streams, it can only barely soak it, and it is not enough for fish to swim through it.

"Oh." Brother Fat was thoughtful, "So it's impossible for the gold bars in the box to turn into big yellow croakers and swim away?"

"That's right." I nodded and said, "So this is indeed as you said, it can't be some kind of demon method. The gold bars were indeed stolen."

"But how do you steal it? There is only one door in this warehouse, and there is no exit or exit, and the door is locked, and the key is in my hand." The fat man tilted his head, and his whole face looked red under the light, just like him. The two pomegranates I ate just now appeared.

"I don't think you should start by asking how the gold bars were stolen, but how did the water and fish in this box come in, and when was this stream dug?"

"In your opinion. There is no other entrance or exit to the warehouse. How did the fish and water get in without anyone noticing, and who dug this creek?"

"Since these items appeared in the warehouse, it means that someone must have come in, but maybe you didn't pay attention." I thought for a while, "When was the last time the door was opened before the warehouse was stolen?"

"There are strong men patrolling outside the warehouse every day. I will open the door to check every once in a while. As for how often, there is no rule." Brother Fat frowned, "The last time you open the door before the theft? Ah, I remembered, about Four or five days ago, a stench suddenly came out of the warehouse, which made people want to vomit."

Brother Fat said that the strong man who was patrolling by at that time smelled the stench and hurried to report him back.He rushed to open the door, but found that there were many dead rats in the warehouse, and they had already begun to rot. Maggots were crawling all over the floor, and people couldn't help retching.

There were a few stray cats who often came and went nearby, so they all thought it was a good thing for those stray cats.There is a gap under the door of the warehouse, and people can never get in, but cats are not necessarily.Since something like this happened, it is natural to find someone to clean the warehouse.

No one is willing to do this job, and the fat guy himself can't stand the stench, so he simply asked the flower farmer who was in the regiment headquarters to take care of the flowers and plants at that time to do it.The flower farmer retched when he saw the scene in the warehouse, and he was not very willing to do this.But he didn't dare to disobey the security team, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and come in with two buckets of water.

The people from the security team were expelled from the warehouse by the stench, so there was only the flower farmer in the warehouse at that time.Not only that, in order to prevent the stench from chasing and killing, they even closed the door of the warehouse.But even so, they still guarded the door of the warehouse.There is no other exit from the warehouse, as long as the door is guarded, there is no need to be afraid of the flower farmer stealing anything from the warehouse.

Because maggots crawled everywhere, the flower farmer brought a hoe for planting flowers and weeding into the warehouse, and after working there for a long time, he knocked on the door, motioning for them to open the door and let him out.After they opened the door, the flower farmer rushed out immediately and vomited for a while.The security team waited for him to vomit and searched him all over before letting him go.

"At that time, I didn't go in to check because of the stench in the warehouse. Now that you said it, I think he brought the fish and water into the warehouse. He brought a bucket in, which can explain the water and water in the box. How did the fish come. He also brought a hoe so he could dig out the creek."

Brother Fat pondered: "So this is probably done by the flower farmer, and he also threw the dead mouse in through the crack of the warehouse door. But even so, he didn't bring anything with him when he left, that's for sure. .Besides, 1000 taels of gold is a bit difficult for a person to carry, and it is absolutely impossible to hide it on his body. Then, how did he transport the gold away in full view of everyone?"

I tilted my head and looked at him for a while, "I don't know yet. But the suspicion of the flower farmer is so obvious, you didn't think of him before?"

"I thought about it. At that time, the gold was stolen, we sent all the people out immediately, and I also went to find the flower farmer. But his family has already been guarded by General Tie, and no one is missing." Brother Fat pondered for a while, He added, "You must never have imagined who this flower farmer would be."

He thought that this matter might be done by the flower farmer, but he didn't mention a word before, he insisted on waiting for me to ask.I was quite angry in my heart, but at the moment I was under the eaves, and there was nothing I could do to him.What he said just now naturally means that he and we both know this flower farmer.

But since we came here, we only know Zhou Xunshan and Wang Honger.He had already met Wang Honger before, so naturally it couldn't be her.As for Zhou Xunshan, he had never seen it, and he didn't even admit its existence, so who else could he be talking about?I was a little puzzled, but Ji Mingmei tugged at my sleeve, gave me a look, and her face was a little unhappy.

I looked at her inquiringly, but still didn't understand.Ji Mingmei sighed, and said helplessly, "Zhuo Yue!"

"So this flower farmer is Zhuo Yue!" I cried out.

"That's right." Brother Fei said, "Zhuo Yue entered the warehouse, and 'Zhou Xunshan' brought you to the place where the gold appeared. These two must be related to the theft of the gold. According to time, the gold thief has enough time to leave here. But in the end, the gold appeared in the mountains, and you are beside the gold. All this looks like the purpose of their stealing this batch of gold is to frame you."

He spoke clearly, and we all nodded.At this time, Wang Honger no longer insisted that Zhou Xunshan was not human, but his face was still a little weird, and he must not be able to calmly accept this for a while.

"But if that's the case, then I don't understand. Who are you who deserve Zhuo Yue and Zhou Xunshan to frame them at such a high price?"

Don't say he doesn't understand, we are also confused, if there is any hatred towards us, such a large amount of gold will kill us, but someone uses it to frame us.Brother Fei was still staring at us suspiciously, I had no choice but to tell him the purpose of looking for Zhuo Yue here in the future.

Hearing that Zhuo Yue was also involved in the theft of books in the Caotang and the Wenling landslide, he was stunned for a while, and then he smacked his lips and said, "This man has committed a lot of things. But he did it to avoid you. That doesn't make sense. If you want to avoid you, it's over if you hide out. As for such a big commotion?"

Who said it wasn't? It's hard to explain this matter now.Anyway, Brother Fat planted it on us, so he asked me again: "How are you going to investigate next?"

"She has been with 'Zhou Xunshan' for so many years, but only the three of us have seen him, which is too unreasonable." I pointed to Wang Honger and said, "We have all seen 'Zhou Xunshan', it is true But why can't other people see him? If he really has the ability to make people invisible, then could it be that he used this magical ability to steal gold from the security team?"

"It makes sense. So, you go to the house of 'Zhou Xunshan'." Brother Fei nodded, "Come back to me if you have anything to do."

"Are you willing to let us go?" I was overjoyed when I heard that, and Ji Mingmei was also overjoyed.

"You, not you." Brother Fat turned and walked out of the warehouse, "As for the two of them, I will send them to the county police jail. So, you can decide if you come back or not."

He said and went out without looking back, leaving Wang Honger looking at me eagerly, as if he had some hope for me.I laughed dryly, thinking that I am not familiar with this eldest sister at all, why does she look at me with such hopeless eyes?
Ji Mingmei was open-minded, and said to me: "Go ahead, be careful yourself. This matter must be related to the real Zhou Xunshan. I happened to go to the county police prison to see him and find out why the person who framed us used his name. .”

At this moment we have no other choice but to do so.The security team escorted Ji Mingmei and Wang Honger away, leaving me alone.At this moment, the sky had already begun to darken, and Brother Fat even asked someone to bring me a flashlight, so that I could go to the "Zhou Xunshan" residence to check.

Flashlights are still a rarity right now. Although I know I have this thing, I have never used it, and it was a bit new for a while. I stood there playing with it for a while before going out.Although Brother Fei has already taken Ji Mingmei hostage, I'm not afraid that I will never come back.But he really didn't send anyone to go with me at all, which was still far beyond my expectation.I always feel that he should be a very powerful character, but I can't see it at all at this moment, and I inevitably feel a little uneasy.

There are only two families in the alley where "Zhou Xunshan" and Zhuo Yue are located, and they are not adjacent to other people, so we could only go to the next door to inquire.It is said that Zhuo Yue has disappeared at this time, and after "Zhou Xunshan" framed us, it is unlikely that he will come back here again, the alley is already dark.

However, when I reached the entrance of the alley and could already see the courtyard of his house from a distance, I suddenly found a faint light flickering in the alley.

The neighbors said that they don't come here very often, so I was very surprised when I saw the light, and hurriedly walked a few steps towards the light.After walking for a few steps, I thought about it, and for fear of disturbing the people inside, I turned off the flashlight in my hand again, and walked lightly, and then approached the bright place.

The light emitted from the residence of "Zhou Xunshan" is quite weak. If I hadn't been used to walking at night and my eyesight is fine, I'm afraid I wouldn't have noticed it at all.I walked into the yard lightly, tiptoed through the crack of the door and looked into the house, but when I met the crack of the door, I couldn't see anything.
