snake wife

Chapter 70 [Ginseng Collector]

The man's playful tone instantly angered the proprietress.

Yan Gang didn't know what kind of grievances the proprietress had with the man, so he saw the proprietress looked at the man resentfully, and then went down the stairs without looking back.

The man leaned in the narrow aisle, lit a cigarette, and said, "Crazy."

"Excuse me……"

Before Qian Wei finished speaking, Yan Gang grabbed his wrist and walked to Room 205, then swiped his card and opened the door, signaling Qian Wei to enter the room, while he stood at the door, smiled slightly at the man and said:

"Your arm is seriously injured, you should go to the hospital and get a broken shot."

The man sneered, then turned around and entered the room, only to hear a bang, and the door of the man's room was slammed shut.

Qian Wei, who was standing in the house, looked towards the corridor with his head, then looked at Yan Gang, and said doubtfully:

"Why didn't you let me finish my sentence just now?"

Yan Gang walked into Room 205, closed the door and locked it, and said to Qian Wei:

"In addition to the earthy smell, the man also had a faint smell of blood. Looking at his hair dripping wet, I suspect that he just took a shower, and the purpose is probably to wash off the smell of blood."

"The injury is on the arm, and the body still smells like earth... Did we meet a tomb robber?" Qian Wei asked in surprise.

"There's this possibility. Don't stay in room 207. To be on the safe side, it's better for us to live in the same room. Later, I'll ask the proprietress if she has a folding bed. If not, I can make a bed on the floor."

Yan Gang did not expect that this small Baihua Village would attract the attention of tomb robbers.Before there is no evidence to prove that these people are tomb robbers, he must not reveal his identity as a policeman.

"Don't startle the snake. Didn't you see that the proprietress obviously knew the man just now. If you change rooms so rashly, aren't you afraid that those people will be suspicious?"

What Qian Wei said was not unreasonable. Just now the proprietress looked at the man with obvious hatred in her eyes, and is the Xiao Ren that the proprietress said really her younger brother?

"You're right, don't think about it. Let's rest first, and then go up to Baihua Mountain after eating and drinking. If those people are grave robbers, there is no other mountain besides Baihua Mountain.

The proprietress just said that this group of people left early and returned late, but they didn't go out at this point, and one of them was injured. "

Before Yan Gang could finish speaking, Qian Wei immediately added:

"They are in trouble on Baihua Mountain! This group paid 5000 yuan in advance, which shows that they will not give up lightly. Think about it differently. If I were one of the tomb robbers, I would Heal your wounds, and go to Baihua Mountain when there is no one in the village."

Getting along day and night, Qian Wei and Yan Gang have an unspeakable tacit understanding.They both know what the other is thinking, which is one of the reasons why they can be friends.

"What is certain now is that Shen Ci is also on Baihua Mountain. Baihua Mountain hides secrets that we don't know. There are two options before us. One is to take a short rest and climb up Baihua Mountain before noon. The second The first option is to go up the mountain late at night, but it is very likely that you will run into a gang of tomb robbers."

Yan Gang gave a suggestion, and normal people would choose the first one, because the safety factor is obviously much higher.If they choose the second option, the danger they face is not only human, but also may encounter ghosts on the mountain.

Yan Gang and Qian Wei are quite rational in their actions, and they chose the first option without any hesitation.

As the saying goes, if you don't die, you won't die, and they have already experienced the power of ghosts, so it is safer to go up the mountain during the day.

At the same time, the door of Room 201 was pushed open again.The man with the bandage on his arm dragged a urea bag from the room.

Urea bags are very common in rural areas, but the bottom of the urea bag dragged out by the man has maroon blood oozing out.

"Be gentle, there are two backpackers coming to this guest house."

There was a muffled voice in the room, and the man frowned, then bent down and put the urea bag on his shoulder, and went downstairs lightly.

Yan Gang, who was hiding behind the door of Room 205, observed every move in the corridor through the cat's eyes.Because the view presented by Maoyan is limited, I can only vaguely see the man looking at a bag and going down the stairs.

After a while, Qian Wei came out of the bathroom after taking a shower.Seeing Yan Gang staring at the cat's eyes, he patted him on the shoulder and said:

"What are you looking at?"

"Hush, there's movement in the corridor." Yan Gang made a booing gesture, signaling Qian Wei to speak softly.

Qian Wei nodded, lowered his voice and said:

"Shouldn't those people start to act now?"

"I don't see it. There should be another person in room 201. I guess he is looking out through the cat's eyes just like me."

"I remember the window was facing the road. If the man left the guest house, we should be able to see him through the window."

As soon as Qian Wei finished speaking, he walked to the window and opened the curtains.Yan Gang stood behind him, staring at the road without blinking.

At this moment, a car suddenly appeared in front of the guest house, and immediately after that, a white Toyota Domineering drove out of the guest house.

"Sure enough, he left, are you going to chase after him?" Qian Wei said.

"Don't act rashly, wait until noon before leaving this room."

"Why do you have to go out at noon? What if there is a murder case? Old Yan, I found that since you handled the skinning case, you are a little timid in doing things."

Qian Wei poked Yan Gang's arm with his elbow half-jokingly.

"If there is a homicide, none of them can escape."

"Ha, what you said is one-sided. What if that person is carrying a bag containing a corpse? Destroy the corpse and find a hill to bury the corpse casually."

As Qian Wei spoke, the smile on his face froze.He looked at Yan Gang, smiled awkwardly and said:

"Wouldn't it really be what I said?"

"There is a possibility, you wait in the room, I'll go out and have a look." Yan Gang's face suddenly became extremely ugly, as a people's policeman, he must take this responsibility.It is even more intolerable for lawbreakers to commit crimes under their own noses.

He stood at the door and took a deep breath. After calming down, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, then walked casually to the stairs, pretending to call:

"Hey, I'm Xiao Zheng, and I'm your brother Gang. Nothing happened in the company today, right? I've been on a business trip for a few days, and I'll leave all the matters of the project department to you."

Yan Gang stopped, turned his back to the door of No. 201, and looked down at the carpet under his feet.

The carpet was wet. Yan Gang didn't know what kind of liquid it was, so he deliberately stepped on the edge of the blood stain with his foot, and then walked down the stairs.

After going down the stairs, Yan Gang looked around and found that the proprietress was sitting in the yard basking in the sun.

He first raised his foot and glanced at the soles of his shoes, then walked up to the proprietress, and said:

"Miss Boss, is there anywhere that sells breakfast around here?"

"There are no breakfast sellers in the countryside. If you are very hungry, there are instant noodles and bread in the small shop on the first floor."

"How do you sell instant noodles?"

"I'll count you six yuan for two buckets of instant noodles."

"Okay, please help me get two buckets of braised beef noodles. By the way, lady boss, I saw a car leaving the guest house just now. Do you know who drove it?"

Yan Gang took out ten yuan from his wallet, glanced at the road intentionally or unintentionally, and then turned to look at the proprietress.

"Sir, I advise you not to ask around." The proprietress lowered her voice.

"Haha, I just asked casually out of curiosity, nothing else."

Yan Gang suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him from behind, so he suddenly turned around and saw a man wearing slippers walking straight towards him.

"Is the proprietress here as a guest?"

The man greeted the proprietress with a playful smile, and the proprietress tugged at the corner of Yan Gang's clothes, signaling him not to speak yet.

"They are all backpackers who came to travel around. This guy came downstairs and asked me if there was a breakfast shop nearby. Didn't I give him two buckets of instant noodles to pad his stomach? By the way, Brother Biao, why did he get up so early today? What is there? Any special arrangements?" the proprietress said.

"What arrangements can I make, just go out and wander around blindly."

The man named Brother Biao glanced at Yan Gang with interest, then took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to Yan Gang, saying:

"Big brother, judging by your physique, you should have practiced martial arts, right?"

Yan Gang reached out to take the cigarette, did not light it, but put the cigarette behind his ear and said:

"I have practiced for many years, sir, I have good eyesight."

"Hahaha, don't be nervous, I'm not a bad person, I just want to make friends with the big brother." The man pursed his lips and continued with a smile:

"I think Mr. may have misunderstood our profession. We are not grave robbers, but genuine ginseng pickers."

As the name suggests, ginseng harvesters are people who dig ginseng in deep mountains and old forests.Most of these people are active in the north, and rarely gather in the mountains in the south.

"It's not like there was an accident when picking ginseng yesterday. My brother accidentally fell into a cave and suffered a slight injury to his arm. I went to the hospital in the county early this morning to take out the ginseng that I picked. Sell. By the way, remember to introduce yourself before I come, my name is Yang Biao."

Yan Gang was startled, he obviously didn't say anything, the man figured out what he was thinking.He even deliberately said in front of him that he was not a tomb robber but a ginseng picker.

"There is ginseng on Baihua Mountain?" Yan Gang calmed down and said with a surprised expression.

The growth environment of ginseng is extremely harsh, and it likes to grow in cold and humid places.And digging ginseng is usually from April to September.

More than half of September has passed now, and Baihua Village has a southern climate, so hot and humid is not suitable for growing ginseng, let alone the wild ginseng on Baihua Mountain.

Yang Biao raised his eyebrows and sneered:

"Why, you don't believe what I said? It just so happens that I will go to Baihua Mountain with my companion again at noon. Do you want to follow us to open your eyes?"

"Brother Biao, stop joking. These two people are ordinary tourists. Baihua Mountain is so evil. It's better not to let them take this risk."

The proprietress immediately came up to smooth things over, trying to make a relief for Yan Gang.Yan Gang waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Okay, I happen to be going to Baihua Mountain to find someone, so we can have someone to take care of us if we act together."

"Find someone?"

Hearing what Yan Gang said, the proprietress and Yang Biao showed shocked expressions at the same time.Especially the panic in the eyes of the proprietress, it can be seen that it is not fake.

"Little brother, are you kidding? There are no residents on Baihua Mountain." The proprietress said.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it on purpose. In fact, I came to Baihua Village not for tourism, but to find someone. Someone told me to find someone, and now I am on Baihua Mountain."

Yan Gang told the purpose of his trip half-truthfully and half-falsely.The purpose is to see the reaction of the proprietress and Yang Biao.

"Who are you looking for? Could it be a mistake?"

"There is no mistake. The person I am looking for is also a villager of this Baihua Village. His name is Shen Ci. Has the proprietress heard of this person?"

Did Yan Gang see his old man before he finished speaking?What about Pete?After learning how to play, Banniang raised her arm tremblingly, pointed at Yan Gang's nose and said:

"Shen Ci has been missing for half a month, you—how do you know his name?"

Shen Ci got lost on Baihua Mountain, and there was an uproar.Afterwards, nothing happened, and no one informed the villagers of Baihua Village whether Shen Ci had been found.

So in the eyes of these villagers, Shen Ci had already died in Baihua Mountain.
