Chapter 353 Good day

At this time, Duan Feng said in a deep voice, "Could the case of Wu Laoliu and Chen Gaoshan be the same person who killed the tomb robbers?"

After hearing this, Meng Zhe shook his head and said, "There should be a connection, but it's not the same person... Because the time doesn't match, when Wu Laoliu and Chen Gaoshan died, the ancient tomb hadn't been opened by a few thieves."

While Song Jiang and the others were studying the case in Duanfeng's office, a hunchbacked old man was dragging a dirty sack, shuttled back and forth between the trash cans, and dug out some waste cardboard and mineral water from it. Water bottle……

This area is not where the old man usually picks up waste. Today, in order to pick up more waste, he deliberately went out in the middle of the night, so as not to bump into the lame woman who was picking up waste in this area during the day, otherwise he would be scolded again.

The old man’s name is Wang Xicheng. He is almost 70 years old this year. When he was young, he planted the land all his life. He thought that his son would take him into the city to provide for the elderly when he was old. But he didn’t know until he came that his son’s monthly income was only Just enough to make ends meet, and I don’t have a pension, so when I come to the city, I can only eat plain rice and be looked down upon by my daughter-in-law.

In order to subsidize his family, Wang Xicheng had no choice but to go out to pick up scraps. Although he didn't earn much, it was still an income. If he had money to pay back home every month, his life would be better...

At this time, Wang Xicheng saw a big bag of garbage thrown out by a bar that had just closed in front of him, which is why he came at this time. There are so many shops doing business on this street, and every time he comes, he can't find much. Plastic bottles, but the premise is that you must avoid the lame woman who often picks up waste here during the day, otherwise you will be scolded.

Wang Xicheng was stupid, and he didn't know how to reply when others scolded him. Every time he could only leave in a hurry with his old face blushing, so when he saw the bar waiter throwing out the garbage bag, he hurried forward to search for the plastic bottle inside. They didn't even notice that the sack in their hands was glowing faintly red...

After putting the last beverage bottle in the garbage bag into the sack, Wang Xicheng weighed the weight of the sack, feeling very happy. In addition to the "iron lump" he picked up yesterday, he estimated that he should be able to buy a hundred or eighty bottles this time.

It turned out that Wang Xicheng was the scavenger who found Chen Gaoshan's body yesterday. In fact, he had already found Chen Gaoshan dead yesterday morning. one thing...

At that time, Wang Xicheng was shocked when he saw the dead body for the first time, but after all, he had lived for most of his life. When he was in the countryside, he often helped other people with white affairs. What kind of dead people have you never seen?So he quickly calmed down, and then found a turquoise iron bump lying beside the corpse.

Wang Xicheng saw that the thing was similar to the incense burner in the temple, with three legs and two ears, so he walked over carefully, picked it up to have a look, and found that the weight was quite heavy, how much should it be worth when selling scrap iron? money, so I hurriedly packed the thing into the sack...

Just because he took this "censer" himself, Wang Xicheng didn't call the police at that time, thinking that the body would be found by others sooner or later... Maybe he was a little guilty, so he thought about going around the neighborhood again at night, but when he went, he went to the police station. Finding that the body was still there, he had no choice but to borrow a phone from a nearby convenience store and call the police.

Seeing that the police finally took the corpse away, Wang Xicheng was relieved, but he still kept an eye on it, and was not in a hurry to send the "censer" to the waste collection station. Let's talk about it after two days.

Wang Xicheng usually accumulates a certain amount of waste, and then uses a manpower tricycle to pull it to the waste collection station and sell it at one time. Their family lives on the first floor, so Wang Xicheng usually puts the waste classification codes on the first floor. In the small courtyard, although doing so always caused dissatisfaction with the neighbors, Wang Xicheng's daughter-in-law Ma Dongqin was not a good quarrel, she could scold the other party away every time...

Although Ma Dongqin didn't like to see the yard full of rubbish when she looked up, but when she thought of the two or three hundred yuan that would be handed over to her every few days, she naturally wanted to stand by her father-in-law unconditionally.

In fact, it is not that Ma Dongqin can't tolerate her father-in-law. After all, he is her husband's biological father, but their family lives very tightly every month, and their children need money from morning to night. All the meals and drinks for the young and old were earned by her husband, Wang Peidong, who went out to help other people run sports cars. One more mouth to eat naturally means more expenses.

Ma Dongqin doesn’t care what the neighbors think of her family. She even encourages her father-in-law to go out and pick up scraps to subsidize the family. If she doesn’t have to take care of the daily life of the two children all day, she can’t wait to be with her father-in-law. Go out and pick up junk...

Ma Dongqin was making breakfast while thinking about all the bad things at home, when she heard the gate of the small courtyard slamming, she knew it was her father-in-law coming back for breakfast, so she took out two steamed buns from the steamer and put them in again. He put a bowl of porridge on the table, and when he heard Wang Xicheng enter the room, he said without raising his head, "The rice is on the table..."

Wang Xicheng walked in with the morning chill, and seeing the hot breakfast on the table warmed his heart, so he hurried over and sat down, holding the hot porridge bowl in his hand, and drank it one mouthful at a time.

At this time, the sky was just getting bright, Ma Dongqin was preparing breakfast and was about to wake up the two children, but she accidentally saw a red light flashing in her small yard, so she looked at Wang Xicheng with a strange face and said, "Father, What electronic products did you pick up today? Why is there a red light in the yard?"

Wang Xicheng was taken aback when he heard this, and quickly got up to look, only to find that the red light was coming from the sack where he was picking up waste, so he hurried out to check, and Ma Dongqin followed after seeing it... Wang Xicheng opened the sack and took a look, Immediately dumbfounded, he saw that the "censer" he had picked up next to the dead man was glowing faintly red.

Ma Dongqin exclaimed when she saw it, "Father, why did you pick up an antique?"

But at this time, Wang Xicheng was not as happy as before. He felt a little uneasy about this red-glowing incense burner, so he hurriedly found waste cardboard to cover the sack, then pulled Ma Dongqin into the room, and whispered the " The origin of "censer" is said again...

After hearing this, Ma Dongqin saw that Qian's eyes opened, and said excitedly, "I'm afraid this thing is very valuable. Dad, you picked up a big treasure this time. Maybe Dongzi won't have to go out for a sports car in the future. Our family Finally, I can live a good life without worrying about food and clothing.”
