Return to Splendid

Chapter 268 Sika Deer Incident

With plenty of time, Xing Yi asked Yang Linxiang to accompany him to Guangming Hotel.

On the way, I told Yang Linxiang about the patent leather box.

Yang Linxiang was surprised. He had never heard of this matter before. It took so many years to tell him. Maybe it was because they had just met at that time and it was difficult to disclose it, or maybe there was an ulterior secret hidden in the box.

Afterwards, we became familiar with it, and even came to the hotel twice, but we haven't said it yet. We only said it today. Could it be that it's time to decrypt it?

Yang Linxiang wanted to know what the secret was, so he asked, "Are there any valuables in the box?"

"Just a few books and a few changes of clothes. One of them was given by a good friend from the factory. There is something worth exploring in that book."

"A place to explore?" Yang Linxiang paid special attention.

"It is a magazine called Jingu Wonders, which is no longer available. There is an article in it, which describes that 700 years ago, the famous Zhang Chenghu led the rebel army and was defeated after contending with the imperial army for more than ten years. Countless treasures were loaded into ships and sank in the Misty River. Later generations cast nets on the river for fishing and accidentally discovered traces of them."

"Is there such a strange thing?"

"The question is, does Jinxiu County have such a river?"

Yang Linxiang shook his head, "I've never heard of it."

Xing Yi said: "Feng Gang is my comrade. He is very fascinated by this article. When he said goodbye to me, he asked me to find out as soon as possible. If there is such a river, then he will come over and explore it with me. .”

"Is this magazine still there?"

"What? Are you interested too?"

"Everyone is like this. Do you dare to say that you haven't thought about it or imagined it?"

"I have imagined it, but the time was very short and it passed in a flash. I didn't take it seriously and almost forgot about it."

"We have many rivers in Jinxiu County. The larger rivers include Mulang River, Shachong River..."

"I've heard of the Mulang River, which is on the southern border of the county. Have you been there?"

"I went there when I was a kid, and I got angry when I stood on the bank. I quickly backed away. The river was too wide, and I was scared just by looking at it."

"Since there is such a river, take me to see it when you find time."

Yang Linxiang thoughtfully said: "We have to wait until the dry season when the water is relatively shallow."

"Okay, you have to keep this in mind."

After talking about the river, the conversation turned to the patent leather box.

"This matter should have something to do with the station. What did they say?"

"I gave them my contact information. They changed people frequently. I guess the situation of the person who will take over later is unknown, so that's it. I haven't told you yet, but later, that patent leather suitcase was not mine. It was in the hotel. Gone again.”

"How could this happen? Could it be that its owner came for it?"

"I once had such an analysis, which seemed quite dramatic, but later I thought it was impossible."

"What did the hotel owner say? He must be very anxious too."

When we arrived at the hotel, we found the windows closed, the door locked, and the flower garden a mess.It looks like it has been closed for several days.

Xing Yi felt something was wrong and hurried to look at the vegetable garden next door. Although there were sika deer barking inside, there was no one there.

Go to the house diagonally opposite and ask someone.

They were told that Boss Wei's family was in big trouble.

Three months ago, a foreigner rented the vegetable garden next door and raised eight sika deer. One night the fence door was opened, and five sika deer came out. They were found the next day, and three were found, but two were missing. .

Boss Wei's second son saw the sika deer before, and on a whim, he asked someone to open a window on the gable wall to watch the sika deer from there. The boss probably thought that in this case, he could still attract customers, so he didn't stop him. Now, something happened. , the second child became the object of suspicion.

The deer farmer came to the door and asked the Wei family to hand over the suspect and turn him over to the police.But the second child didn't know where he was hiding.

The deer farmer blocked the door and threatened to pay if he didn't surrender. Because of the fierce commotion, all the residents left and the business couldn't continue. Boss Wei locked the door and left, not knowing where he went.

Xing Yi asked: "What day did it happen?"

People say: "Today is the fifth day."

"Didn't Boss Wei say anything to you when he left?"

"No, we just watched from a distance."

"Then do you have any way to contact him?"

"You are not the only ones asking this. Someone has asked me before."

"From the police?"

"No, he runs a restaurant."

"Where is the restaurant?"

“Splendid Restaurant.”

"you recognize?"

"People from Jinxiu Restaurant often come to the hotel to check accounts, of course I recognize them."

"What did the people at Jinxiu Restaurant ask you?"

"Isn't it the same as you? Want to find the whereabouts of Boss Wei?"

The two went home, and Xing Yi opened his satin notebook. The record was very simple: In the early winter of the year when the eldest returned from graduation, the Sika Deer Incident happened.

It's still summer, and things have happened ahead of schedule before it's time.

I think of several things that have similar situations, and there is a discrepancy in time.If everything is like this, it will be difficult to deal with.

Should we take care of this matter?Wei Laoer is 16 years old this year. If something like this happens, the high school entrance examination will be affected.If he really did it, then he deserves the punishment, but what if it wasn't him?Could it be related to Jinxiu Restaurant?

Driven by curiosity, Xing Yi decided to ask.

I called Kang Enpei that night and asked him if he knew about this.

Kang Enpei said calmly: "I know."

Xing Yi asked: "The Public Security Bureau knows, how will you deal with it?"

Kang Enpei said: "No one reported this matter. According to the existing regulations, it is inconvenient for our relevant departments to come forward directly at this time. We are just paying attention to the development of the situation. However, as far as we know, the main purpose of the opponent is money."

"I need money. Can you take care of this kind of thing?"

"It's hard to say, Brother Xing. Because I'm in the administrative department, I can't ask too much about the case. I only know this little information. If you need it, can I ask more?"

"No need. Do you have Boss Wei's contact number?"

"I've contacted him, but his phone has always been turned off. He must be avoiding it or traveling far away."

"Do you have his eldest son's phone number?"

"Yes, but he is taking the postgraduate entrance examination, so I can't disturb him."

"Give me his phone number and I'll contact him."

"You'd better not interfere. It's not good if things get complicated."

"Your cousin is a nice person. I've been living in the hotel for a few months. You can always show some concern."

"In that case, I'll contact the boss first, and then listen to my news, and then you take action."

"Ok."

At 12:30 noon the next day, Yang Linxiang came with Bao Xiaogang and reported to Xing Yi the process of selling the stone: "Brother Xing really predicted that it would take three days. I didn't get there until the first day. It took less than an hour." When I arrived, I met them. As you said, they were two people, and they all talked in harmony."

At two o'clock at noon, Liu Yishou by the river couldn't stand the hot sunshine, so he packed up his fishing gear and hid under the shade of a tree to rest.

A young man came by the roadside, put down his bamboo pole, took out a stone, picked vines from the roadside, and carefully wiped it on the stone.When Liu Yishou saw the red color of the stone, he called to the young man: "Come here, let me see what you have."

The young man came over holding the stone and showed it to him.

He asked: "What kind of stone is this?"

The young man said: "Soapstone."

"Where did you get it from?"

"In the ravine over there."

"Did you find it yourself, or did you buy it with money?"

The young man shook his head and said nothing.

"Where are you going to take it?"

"Carry it to the city and sell it."

"Isn't it difficult to sell in the countryside? Do you have to carry it to the city?"

"The people in the city are willing to pay the price."

"Hey, young man, have you seen that man in a white shirt and straw hat by the river? He is the big boss from the city. He likes stones. Wait for him to come and see you." Shouted towards the river, " Lao Fei, Fei Bureau, come up quickly, I found the bloodstone."
