Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Lightning Strike

At this moment, Riwobuji suddenly remembered something again, and said, "By the way, when we came, we passed through the mottled bamboo forest in Jiangjiawan, and encountered something strange." "What strange thing?" asked Battalion Commander Shi. "I heard that a wild dog killed a person in the Bamboo Forest a few days ago." "What's so strange about this?" Battalion Commander Shi said impatiently. At this time, Uncle Jiang said, "Who did you listen to the rumors? There are some wild dogs hiding in the mottled bamboo forest, but no one here was killed by wild dogs?"

Riwobuji turned to Uncle Jiang and asked, "Is it because you haven't heard of wild dogs killing people or has there really been no wild dogs killing people?" Uncle Jiang said with certainty: "It must have never happened. If there was such a thing about wild dogs killing people, it would have been spread in the neighbors. How can there be such a thing!" Riwobuji had the bottom line in his heart, and he said to Battalion Commander Chaoshi: "This matter seems to be really strange." Battalion Commander Shi said anxiously: "What's so strange, you should speak clearly!"

"When we passed the bamboo forest, we met a young man guarding it. He said that his father was killed by wild dogs in the bamboo forest a few days ago. To avenge his father." Riwobuji said. Before Battalion Commander Shi could speak, Uncle Jiang on the side immediately said: "Did you run into a ghost in the middle of the night? How can such a thing happen? You have to have some basis for spreading rumors!" Although Uncle Jiang looked old-fashioned, he spoke with full confidence. Battalion Commander Shi frowned, and said, "Don't say it, maybe the one you bumped into in the mottled bamboo forest was really a ghost. It's just that you alarmed the ghost."

Uncle Jiang heard what Commander Shi said, and immediately said: "Captain Shi, you are a senior cadre in the army, do you also believe in ghosts?" Commander Shi said, "The ghost I'm talking about is different from the ghost you're talking about." Uncle Jiang was confused and stared at Battalion Commander Shi helplessly. Battalion Commander Shi's face became gloomy, and he thought for a while and said, "Uncle Jiang, hurry up and ask Xiao Cui to turn off the car's ignition. Tell him to come over right away." Uncle Jiang felt that something must have happened, so he answered and immediately turned around and walked outside.

"Captain Shi, who do you think we will meet?" Riwobuji asked. Battalion Commander Shi did not answer Riwobuji's words, but took out a piece of kraft paper from his coat pocket, and unfolded it on an old-fashioned Eight Immortals table.On the kraft paper is a hand-drawn rough map with several special places marked with red circles, one of which clearly says "Jiangjiawan Bamboo Forest". After reading the hand-painted map on kraft paper, Commander Shi frowned more and more. He put away the map, exhaled a heavy breath from his chest, and murmured sadly: "It really looks like the rain is coming. The wind is all over the building'ah!"

Riwobuji asked: "Is it really my guess?" Battalion Commander Shi said, "It should be eighty to ninety percent correct." After a while, Guard Cui rushed in from the outside, saluted Battalion Commander Shi with a standard military salute and said, "Report, Battalion Commander, do you have any instructions?" Battalion Commander Shi said: "We have to go to Jiangjiawan Bamboo Forest immediately, there is a situation." Guard Cui said "yes". Riwobuji said, "I will go with you too." Battalion Commander Shi did not refuse, he said to Master Zhang Yao: "You wait for us here for a while, we will come back after we go out for a while."

As he spoke, he walked out of the hall of the ancestral hall first. Riwobuji, Battalion Commander Shi and Guard Cui almost trotted back to the mottled bamboo forest.It was pitch black in the quiet mottled bamboo forest.Guard Cui wanted to turn on the flashlight, but was stopped by Commander Shi in a low voice. The three of them lightened their steps and tiptoed into the mottled bamboo forest. The three of them were all masters of night walking, and the pitch-black bamboo forest was no obstacle for the three of them, and they didn't even make any noise when they walked through the darkness.

As they went deeper into the mottled bamboo forest, they listened carefully to even the slightest sounds from all directions. Finally, they heard an imperceptible noise not far to the left.The three of them stopped and continued to move, intending to make an accurate judgment on the direction of the abnormal noise. It was the sound of shovels shoveling the soil in the ground and throwing it not far away.The rustling sound of the fluffy soil being thrown was very clear. This piece of land in Jiangjiawan is formed by the silt accumulated by the water flow for a long time, so the soil is fertile and loose. Even if you want to dig below ten meters, you only need to use a shovel.

Riwobuji asked in a low voice: "Could it be that a group of tomb robbers are really digging up ancient tombs?" Battalion Commander Shi said in a low voice: "It should be more or less the same. The news about the pots and jars dug up in the brick factory over there has been leaked. I heard from Uncle Jiang that there were more foreigners in the countryside during the day for no reason. It's all furtive. It's obviously not normal." "But the young man I met spoke the local dialect, not like a stranger." "It's hard to say whether they will collude with outsiders or form an employment relationship," said Battalion Commander Shi.

Riwobuji said: "In fact, I think we should get in touch with the local public security organs and let them cooperate with us. Maybe things will be much easier." But Battalion Commander Shi whispered: "If the local public security organs can be trusted, why should they arrange me here quietly. Up to now, I haven't figured out who issued the order to send me here. I didn’t even see the transfer order. My old chief dispatched me here with a word. I was not allowed to lead a team, so I was assigned a security guard and a medium jeep. Telling me about my affairs is like engaging in a secret service organization Like."

Riwobuji said: "There are difficulties from above." "Of course I know this better than you. Go, let's touch it quietly and have a look before we talk about it. See if there are a few tomb robbers making a fortune for the country." After speaking in a low voice, the three of them quickly moved towards the direction where the abnormal noise was coming from. When they approached the place where the sound came from, they realized that things were not as simple as they imagined.There is no doubt that a group of tomb robbers are digging ancient tombs.However, this group of tomb robbers obviously came prepared, and they were extremely professional tomb robbers.They actually arranged a few people to guard the perimeter. All of these people held household items such as knives and sticks in their hands, and walked back and forth within their respective guard ranges. Battalion Commander Shi, Riwobuji and Guard Cui hid behind a barren grave.The barren tomb is larger than ordinary grave mounds, with a few variegated bamboos growing on it.A broken stone tablet fell to the side.The guy in charge stood on the other side of the grave and spread his legs apart to pee. A horse lantern was lit 30 to 40 meters away from Riwobuji and the others. Under the dim light of the lantern, four or five people were sweating profusely and busy.Although it was winter, there were two guys who had just crawled out of the ground with shirtless shirts.One of them scooped up a ladle of water with something like a ladle, raised his neck and poured it violently. The guy on the other side of the grave seemed to be very comfortable after urinating. He shivered a little before he lifted his trousers and tied his waistband. At this time, the guy in charge of security from another direction came over.Riwobuji recognized this guy at a glance, and whispered to Battalion Commander Shi, "This is the guy I met. He has a bayonet in his hand." Battalion Commander Shi didn't speak, his eyes were like a leopard's, unblinkingly observing the group's every move. The guy who walked over and the guy who just finished peeing seemed to know each other very well, and they squatted down beside the grave with their shoulders crossed. "I've been up all night for three days, and I don't know if I can ship tonight." A guy said with a tired yawn. "We should be able to deliver the goods tonight. Didn't you say that you have already dug the door of the tomb? As long as you open the door of the tomb, maybe there are so many gold and silver treasures inside that you have to use a basket." Another said . "I don't believe this. Do you think the original people were so stupid? The resounding gold and silver treasures were reluctant to be used when they were alive, but they were buried underground when they died? They were dug out again after tens or hundreds of years. , the corpse was thrown in an open-air dam to feed wild dogs? Who would be so stupid?" "You know the hammer! People used to like it. The richer they are, the more they like it. There are inexhaustible gold and silver treasures in life, and inexhaustible gold and silver treasures in death. People are very greedy." The boy who had just walked over stood up at this moment, thumped his waist and said, "I am too lazy to chat with you, so I came here to talk to you, just to make you sleepy." He yawned again Walk towards the range he is responsible for. Suddenly, the commander of Shi Ying shot out like lightning from behind the graveyard by surprise.The guy who was still squatting on the ground hadn't recovered before he was thrown to the ground by Commander Shi, unable to move. He didn't even have a chance to cry for help, his mouth was already covered by Commander Shi's palm. It's airtight...
