disappearing gold

Chapter 64 Detection or Travel
  Zhu Lan was so excited that she shouted loudly, "Hey, Master, I'll go with you."

But Xiao Li figured out the reason and didn't want to go at all, "Team Sun, why do you want to travel? Are we here to handle cases or are we here to travel?"

But Lao Sun said slowly and slowly, "While traveling, we are investigating the case, or in other words, we are traveling, while we are investigating the case."

She turned back and smiled at Xiao Li, the needle lines between her eyebrows stretched again, "Are you going or not?"

"Go! I'll go!" Xiao Li nodded desperately, as if he was afraid of missing this good opportunity, "Work and play at the same time, there are not many opportunities like this!"

Old Sun grinned, walked a few steps forward, and suddenly turned around and told Xiao Li, "Forget it, it's too much of a sight for you to travel alone. You'd better go and wait near the basement entrance, just in case the murderer suddenly comes back and wants to see Let’s see if the police have discovered the secret passage?”

On the way she asked her apprentice again, "Zhu Lan, tell me, did the murderer take away the gold?"

"Well...it's been about 20 days since the incident. Even if there was gold, he should have taken it away long ago." Zhu Lan speculated.

Lao Sun nodded, "I have the same idea."

The three people walked for a long time and finally returned to the basement.

The passage between the basement and the secret passage cannot hide anything, because the cave walls on both sides, above the head and under the feet are tight and solid, with no signs of looseness.

Although there was a lot of excavated and scattered soil in the corners of the passage, Lao Sun still couldn't find any missing gold after checking it with a metal detector.

Apart from the gold, they did not find any other suspicious weapons or bloody clothes that could identify the murderer.

Back in the basement, it's still dark. The old forest in the deep mountains of Xileng Mountain lights up a little slower than outside, and now the weather is heavy and cold. The three police officers, who had been walking all night, were already so tired that their limbs were weak and they were yawning again and again.

Therefore, as soon as she returned to the basement, Zhu Lan was clamoring to take a rest.

Old Sun couldn't resist her, so after telling Xiao Li, he sat in the corner to rest.

But Lao Sun, who had just closed his eyes for two minutes, suddenly opened his eyes again and took out his mobile phone to dial Tong Ge's phone number. But as soon as she dialed two numbers, she switched to texting: "Tong Ge, after dawn, go to the villa that Song Hui bought and guard it to prevent the murderer from suddenly returning to the scene. If the murderer is found, catch him."

Putting down the phone, unexpectedly the text message came back. Tong Ge said: "Just me? Captain Sun."

"I asked Xiao Li to stay and help you." Lao Sun wrote back.

When it gets light outside, the last purple clouds disperse from the sky. A faint ray of skylight shines through the window behind the utility room, into the spiral staircase, and then into the basement.

Lao Sun got up first, dusted his butt and called Zhu Lan, "It's dawn, let's go quickly."

Leaving Xiao Li behind, the master and apprentice walked out of the villa. Lao Sun's footsteps were getting faster and faster, almost catching up with the speed of the water snake.

Anyway, they arrived at the ticket gate at the gate of Kulai Mountain Scenic Area, and Lao Sun took out his WeChat account and scanned the QR code to buy two tickets.

At dawn, there were no other tourists in the scenic area, and there were only the singing of birds everywhere.

Zhu Lan still had doubts about traveling, but seeing how worried Lao Sun was, she didn't dare to disturb him.

Now, Lao Sun stood next to a scenic map and observed carefully. After staring at the sign for a long time, she suddenly turned back to the two young men and said, "Hey! Our target is here."

Zhu Lan took a look and saw that Lao Sun's index finger was pressing under the four characters, "Civil Air Defense Project."

They climbed up the mountain road and watched for a long time before finally arriving at the entrance of the civil air defense project. Lao Sun walked in without hesitation.

This place is also a passage paved with blue bricks, but after some renovation and maintenance of the scenic spot, it has been made open and public. So this is not called a secret tunnel, it should be called a civil air defense project. The civil air defense project makes full use of the air raid shelters left during the war and transforms them into distinctive cultural landscapes.

So the secret passage they walked through in the first half of the night was an air raid shelter connecting several mountains. It is estimated that this civil air defense project may be the reason why Kulai Mountain has become a famous scenic spot, but as a busy captain of the criminal police team, Lao Sun has never paid attention to this, let alone the existence of this civil air defense project.

Lao Sun had no intention of admiring the wonderful pictures and detailed introductions on the wall, and walked and ran to his destination.

Standing in front of the iron fence, she suddenly raised her head and looked up at the dark thing on the dome of the civil air defense project. Yes, this is the camera hanging above the scenic spot.

Seeing it, Zhu Lan was stunned for a long time and asked in shock: "Master, how did you discover this thing?"

"Get used to it!" Old Sun said coldly.

There are warm lights in the civil air defense project. The lights are turned off at night but open during the day.

Standing under the camera, she looked forward and saw a mound of soil far away outside the iron fence.

Through the mounds of earth, one can still vaguely see the outline of the secret passage.

She thought for a while and then slowly said: "Let's go find the scenic studio."

They hurried there again, just as the general manager of the scenic spot management had just arrived at the office.

After the master and apprentice showed their police ID cards and asked to see the surveillance video from the cameras in the civil air defense project, the general manager was stunned for a moment and asked why.

Lao Sun said with a straight face: "Assisting in the investigation is a citizen's duty. The inside information is confidential and I cannot tell you at the moment."

"Uh, okay." The manager could only transfer the monitoring to them and voluntarily exited the office.

The two of them immediately turned their attention to the computer surveillance screen and realized that the picture in the surveillance was still clear.

After waiting for a while, an outstanding gasp came from the screen, and then a woman appeared. Her face was full of panic, her hair was spread out, and she was running very fast, crossing the end in the blink of an eye.

It was vaguely visible in the camera that this woman was Huang Min, and she was wearing the same clothes she wore at the death scene on the day of the crime, a bat-sleeve shirt and a pair of suit jeans.

She must be running away from something, as if she had seen a ghost, her expression was extremely panicked.

Another two minutes passed in the dark scene.

There was another heavy breathing sound, like a man's.

Sure enough, a man's face and his upright figure appeared on the screen. Lao Sun paused the screen and took a closer look. Who was this if it wasn't Song Xiaofan?

Song Xiaofan has the face of a star, with narrow eyes, a high bridge of nose, a broad forehead, a perfect oval face, and a slightly raised lip.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with intense anger and overwhelming murderous intent. In addition, judging from his wheezing and wheezing, he had been chasing Huang Min for a long time and was exhausted, but he was still holding on.

That's right, Song Xiaofan gritted his teeth and persisted.

Soon, his figure also flashed past.

Lao Sun said, "Yes, this is the best evidence. Next, we need to find the murder weapon that killed Huang Min."

　Today is the second update. Welcome to read. I wish you all a happy reading.
