disappearing gold

Tong Ge fiercely slapped the wooden door of the rough room, "Hey! Is anyone home?"

If there had been anyone in the house, a violent impact like this would have drawn the attention of those inside. However, as he moved his hands together, the sound of banging on the door became louder and louder, and the pain in his palms became unbearable, but he did not receive any response.

"It seems that Father Cheng is not at home." Zhu Lan prepared to kick the door.

"Maybe he's already asleep, and he's deaf." He continued to knock on the door.

After another vigorous beating, the old man's voice came from behind the police officers, "What are you doing here again?"

He was leaning against the water, and his voice was extremely cold in winter, and full of extreme impatience. It was obvious that the old man did not welcome the children.

However, as a candidate for the criminal investigation captain, Tong Ge had no good impression of the old man after he knew he was lying. He decisively displayed the search warrant and said, "If the case requires it, we have to search the entire villa and its surroundings."

"No, didn't you search it all last time?" Cheng's father immediately dropped the pole and hit the two plastic buckets on the ground. Water poured out of the buckets and spread all over the floor, but did not wet his trouser legs.

Because he had already rushed to the wooden door to stop the police, Lightning's figure did not tell that he was an old man over 65 years old.

"Last time it was just a simple observation." Tong Ge ignored Cheng's father's stop and waved to other colleagues to enter the room, "Search!"

"Yes!" Zhu Lan, Xiao Li and Xiao Feng shouted in unison, pushed open the wooden door together, rushed into the unfinished building of the villa, and then searched separately.

Zhu Lan is in charge of the third floor of the villa, Xiao Li is in charge of the second floor of the villa, Xiao Feng is in charge of the first floor of the villa, and Tong Ge is in charge of searching around the perimeter of the villa.

"Damn it!" Father Cheng kicked the wooden door angrily, and a handful of dry branches hanging from the door fell down. This scene made him even more angry and his face turned the color of pig liver.

He stepped forward and grabbed Tong Ge's sleeve and asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Please get out of the way and don't hinder the police from reporting the case." Tong Ge broke away from his hand unceremoniously and searched around the villa.

Now, Father Cheng felt even more unsure.

He didn't know what valuable clues there might be in the unfinished building. Cheng Fei never said what was hidden in the black backpack, let alone the whereabouts of the backpack. etc! Could there really be something hidden in that backpack?

Thinking of this, he became even more nervous, and a pair of cloudy old eyes moved around as Xiao Feng moved around. All the valuable things in the house are on the first floor, and there are almost nothing on the second and third floors.

However, after Xiao Feng searched the living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen, he used the intercom to report the actual situation to Tong Ge: "Child team, we did not find any valuable clues."

"Has the yard been searched?"

"Uh, not yet."

"Then what nonsense are you talking about? Search quickly!" A lion's roar frightened Xiao Feng and shook his phone.

Father Cheng took a breath and thought to himself, what on earth are the police looking for? He had just tidied up his home some time ago, and the original placement of objects had been changed.

Xiao Li on the second floor turned over an old wooden bed and several dark cloth bags, but found no trace of gold. The doors and windows were blocked by sunscreen, and the light was slightly dim. He gritted his teeth and searched twice more, but still found nothing.

Zhu Lan was even worse on the third floor. The empty bedroom contained only a few wooden boxes with holes and tattered clothes in them.

The child's song outside the door observed the two stone lions in front of the door for a long time. The grass surrounding the base of the stone lions grew up to the lion's eyes. There were no signs of being crushed, and there was no new grass growing in the soil. It seems that the stone lion has not been moved.

He walked around the perimeter of the house. The vegetation was all growing naturally, and the soil had not been renovated. It seems that no one has touched this place, and there is no gold hidden here.

Children's Song had no choice but to turn back to the yard.

Xiao Feng was studying the four vegetable plots in the center of the yard, his brows twisted into two caterpillars.

Following his gaze, the glass lettuce in the four vegetable patches seemed a little thicker than last time. It can be eaten within a month if there is sufficient fertilizer and water.

"What's wrong with the lettuce?" Tong Ge couldn't help but ask.

"The lettuce is fine, but do you think the most precious fertilizer in the world has been applied under the soil?" Xiao Feng found that the boy team was anxious and couldn't help but give it a try.

The boy leader immediately slapped him, "What do you mean? Say something quickly and fart quickly!" Xiao Feng touched his painful head and felt aggrieved, "I mean, guess what is under the soil?" ?”

"Ah!" Tong Ge was stunned. It turns out that the precious fertilizer this guy was talking about was gold!

The lettuce I saw last time was already as long as my middle finger, and its roots were stuck in the soil bag. If you want to bury something under the soil, you must not dig up the lettuce?

I have to say that this idea is very bold and bizarre. But after eliminating all the impossibilities, no matter how bizarre or outrageous the rest is, it is reasonable!

"Dig it up!" Children's Song ordered.

"No, you have to eat all the lettuce, don't destroy it!" Cheng's father stopped again.

Tong Ge was angry, "I will compensate you with my own money, three times the compensation!"

When money was mentioned, Cheng's father's eyes lit up again. He was originally worried that he would have no vegetables to eat, but now he decisively gave in, "Triple compensation. You said so!"

"Do what you say." Tong Ge rolled his eyes in disgust.

A group of people began to dig up the soil with shovels and shovels, first pulling out all the lettuce, and then digging up the soil one by one.

Their luck was not good. The three flat pieces of land in front of them were dug into four huge pits, but they didn't see any gold. There is a lot of yellow mud, no matter how hard you dig, you can't finish it.

"Alas, there is little hope!" Xiao Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Tong Ge kicked him, "You haven't finished digging yet, why are you saying something depressing?"

Xiao Feng is not convinced, but can he call the other party a candidate for captain? Just swing the shovel again.

Father Cheng no longer worried about vegetables, but began to worry about what the police had really dug out of the ground.

Finally, we started digging the fourth vegetable plot, which is close to the villa hall and is the largest of all the vegetable plots.

"Work harder!" Tong Ge ordered while shoveling the soil.

Everyone is looking forward to it, and their motivation is getting stronger and stronger.

Finally, a large pit was dug out of the flat vegetable field, and something emitting golden light was found in the center about two meters from the bottom of the pit.

Xiao Feng shouted: "Hey, there is it!"

He dropped his tools, jumped into the bottom of the pit, dug his hands into the soil, and found something golden.

"Ah, isn't that just a gold bar?" Xiao Li said.

"There are also gold chains and gold bracelets!" Tong Ge and Zhu Lan were also stunned at the same time. It seemed that their guess was correct!

They dug out all the gold, but saw no black backpack.

Tong Ge continued digging alone at the bottom of the pit, but accidentally dug out a large pile of ashes, and found a small piece of black cloth that was not completely burned from the ashes.

Father Cheng next to him had already turned into a piece of wood and couldn't say a word for a long time. He was as shocked as the ancients when they saw a modern airplane. The scene in front of him made him still unable to believe his eyes.

He fell to the ground and kept shaking his head, "No, this is not true. This is not the gold that Cheng Fei buried. It is impossible for my son to rob and harm others..."

Everyone saw this and concluded that he had indeed been deceived by his son.

After identification, all the gold was pure gold 999, worth approximately 250 million yuan. Together with the 256 yuan that Cheng Fei gave to Cheng Hui, the total was million yuan.

Faced with a mountain of irrefutable evidence, Cheng Fei still hesitated for about half a month. Finally, he admitted that he had indeed snatched all the gold from the ugly man, and after paying Chen Hui 60,000 yuan, he hid the remaining gold under the vegetable field. Moreover, the ugly man was indeed carrying a black backpack at the time, and the ashes at the bottom of the vegetable pit were the ashes of the backpack's incomplete combustion.

However, a closer look showed that the total amount of gold was not enough for 500 million, which was temporarily not enough to match the total amount of bribes left by Song Hui.

Although the gold bars did have signs of damage, they were exactly the same as those at the scene of the first two murders!
