Northeast Golden Gradient Treats My Home as a Confinement Center

Chapter 239 Golden Ring
Tick.

Tick.

The rain fell on Shen Xingyu's hat, flowed down his cheeks, from his face, to his neck, then to his arms, and finally to his palms.

At this moment, a golden ring was lying quietly in the palm of Shen Xing's hand.

This ring was the one Shen Xing had just taken from that bony hand.

The surface of the ring was covered with black mud, and once exposed to the air, it was constantly washed away by the heavy rain, gradually revealing its clear outline.

It was a ring with a light golden luster, and the surface was very smooth without any lines.

"Little bear, come here." Shen Xing waved at the blind bear.

The blind bear was rolling around in the rain, taking a mud bath, but when it heard Shen Xing calling it over, it immediately ran over.

"Why are you covered in mud?" Shen Xing said with a frown.

"Go play somewhere else and don't ruin the scene for me." Shen Xing slapped the blind bear on the butt and told it to go play somewhere else.

"You too, stay aside." Shen Xing shouted to the old fox Dalong.

The four wild beasts hid aside obediently and looked at Shen Xing quietly.

Shen Xing didn't have time to deal with them, his mind was all on this gold ring.

This ring was held tightly by Chen Jianjia's corpse, it must have a special meaning!
"Is it a token of their love? Or maybe something like three golds?" Shen Xing stared at the ring and thought.

Once a man and a woman confirm their relationship, they will give each other tokens of love. As for the three golds, they are the engagement gifts: gold necklace, gold bracelet, and gold ring.

They are all made of gold and are very valuable.

The ring on Shen Xing's hand is obviously made of pure gold.

"Why does it feel like a ring worn by a woman..."

How should I put it, this gold ring is quite delicate.

Men, especially those in the Changbai Mountain area, are all over 1.8 meters tall. Due to their height, their palms are thick and their fingers are thick. Shen Xing tried to put it on just now, but couldn't put it on at all.

Moreover, this ring has a delicate appearance and is less rough.

That's why Shen Xing felt that it looked like a gold ring that only women would wear.

"Wait, there is a line of words here..."

At this time, Shen Xing looked carefully and found that there seemed to be a line of words printed on the inside of the ring.

No, to be precise, it's a row of letters.

CQ, ZY.

There is a heart in the middle.

CQZY.

"No, this doesn't seem to be Chen Jianjia's ring..." Shen Xing realized belatedly.

If it is Chen Jianjia's ring, then the string of letters should be "CJJ" and "YYY"

Chen Jianjia loves Yang Yiyi.

But on the inside of this gold ring is CQZY, CQ loves ZY, which obviously doesn't match.

"Could it be that……"

A light bulb suddenly lit up in Shen Xing's mind, and he thought of a possibility!
"Could it be that this ring belongs to the murderer?"

Shen Xing glanced at the bony hand. Before Chen Jianjia died, she held the gold ring tightly and refused to let go. Was it because the ring was important? Was it left by the murderer?

Taking his eyes off the bones, Shen Xing looked towards the tree pit. The remaining bones were still buried under the soil.

However, Shen Xing did not plan to continue digging, as this ring should be a "physical evidence".

And it is very likely that this is a "physical evidence" that Chen Jianjia obtained at the cost of his life!
"'He' is your master?"

Shen Xing asked the old fox, but he was worried and asked again.

There was nothing on the skeleton to prove Chen Jianjia's identity, only a ring. However, he had just seen the ill-fated pair of mandarin ducks in a trance, so it was most likely Chen Jianjia's skeleton.

The reason why Shen Xing asked again was that he wanted to find out why Chen Jianjia's body was on this hill and why it was planted under the tree.

And why is this tree the only Changbai fish-scale spruce tree among tens of thousands of red spruce trees!

The old fox told Shen Xing in his mind that its male owner had been looking for the murderer of the female owner. Later, he finally found some information, but he was no match for the murderer and was killed by him instead and buried on this hill.

At first, it had been following secretly from behind. After the male owner was killed and buried, it took advantage of the murderer's absence, brought a fish-scale spruce, and planted it on the body as a mark.

Shen Xing was shocked when he heard this.

The Changbai fish-scale spruce on the bones was actually planted by the old fox ten years ago?!
Moreover, from what the old fox said, Chen Jianjia has actually found the murderer!

He wanted to avenge Yang Yiyi, but he was defeated and killed by the other party. His body was buried on this hill!
The old fox was afraid that the corpse would be lost later, so he planted a fish-scale spruce tree on it that didn’t fit in with the surrounding red spruce trees!

Shen Xing looked at the old fox, his heart full of surprise.

No wonder the ancients said that foxes are synonymous with "cunning". They can imitate the voices of sheep and rabbits, trick sheep and rabbits into coming and eating them, getting something for nothing. Doesn't this indirectly prove the fox's super high IQ?

Even Nick, the male protagonist of Disney's "Zootopia", represents cunning and shrewdness as soon as he appears. He deceives the rabbit Judy's kindness and gets a big popsicle for free, then divides the popsicle into hundreds of small popsicles and sells them to the hamster.

Isn’t this a typical case of “getting something for nothing”?
The intelligence of foxes is definitely top-notch in the animal kingdom!
"Xiaobai, you are thoughtful." Shen Xing praised.

The old fox was obviously afraid that someone would not be able to find the body, so he planted a fish-scale spruce tree on the tree, just to prevent humans from finding Chen Jianjia's body under the tree.

Shen Xing now understood why veteran detectives like Li Zhengyi couldn't find Chen Jianjia.

The people are dead and the bodies are buried under the trees. How can we find them?
Changbai Mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with high mountains and dense forests. There are more than one hilltops like this one covered with spruce trees everywhere.

Who could have guessed that beneath a spruce tree lay the body of a young man?
This is as difficult as throwing a needle into the sea and then looking for it.

Looking for a needle in a haystack!

The old fox howled a few more times, his voice filled with sorrow.

"What? You went down into the village and asked someone to look for the body?"

The old fox told Shen Xing that in the past ten years, it had gone down the mountain and into the village more than once to look for the villagers it was familiar with. Those villagers were Chen Jianjia's co-workers and also knew the old fox.

The old fox wanted to take these villagers to find the body of its owner, but unfortunately, these villagers thought that the old fox was hungry and wanted to beg for food, so they didn't think in that direction and didn't understand the old fox's hint.

Not only that, the old fox also deliberately led his tribe to drive away the mountaineers who came into the mountain and lead them towards the fish-scale spruce.

Unfortunately, there are communication barriers between humans and animals, and the old fox’s true intentions can never be understood.

Even if a professional wildlife keeper came, he would not be able to understand what the old fox was trying to do. It is too difficult to understand the "words" of wild animals based solely on their calls and body language. It is countless times more difficult than the college entrance examination.

Therefore, after knowing that Shen Xing could understand what it said, the old fox took him to climb several hills and led him to find Chen Jianjia's body!
The old fox has waited for so many years and finally waited for Shen Xing!
"So that's how it is. It seems that you, Xiaobai, are waiting for me. We are destined to be together." Shen Xing suddenly realized and nodded.

It all started with his idea of ​​buying land.

This is the beginning. Next, Shi Baoguo recommends a forest farm, an abandoned forest farm that is haunted, a ten-year rape and murder case, star-crossed mandarin ducks, a group of wild foxes in the forest farm, clues to the murder case, the old fox is the pet of the victim Yang Yiyi... and so on.

Everything is connected together, just like fighting monsters and leveling up, with all kinds of twists and turns and ups and downs.

But the result is always good, Chen Jianjia was found!

Chen Jianjia, who had been missing for ten years, was finally found!

This is good news for the old detectives in the serious crime squad, for the workers at Zhaocai Forest Farm, and for the boss Xiong Zhaocai!
The truth...is not far away!

"The key now is to find the owner of this gold ring..."

"Professional matters should be left to professionals..." Shen Xing took a photo of the scene and sent it to Li Zhengyi and Jiang Shan at the same time.

And typed on the phone screen: "I found Chen Jianjia."

Just a few words, but they caused a huge wave in the city's No. 1 public security bureau.

drop……

drop……

drop by drop...

Li Zhengyi and Jiang Shan contacted Shen Xing at the same time, called Shen Xing and asked him how he found it?
Shen Xing didn't say anything, but just told the two of them the location of the hill they were on.

He hung up the phone quickly, believing that it would not be long before several police cars appeared at the foot of the mountain.

After thinking about it, Shen Xing called Xiong Zhaocai again.

"Hey, Mr. Xiong."

"Boss Shen?" Xiong Zhaocai on the other end of the phone was extremely anxious.

"Boss Shen, where have you been? It's raining so hard, where did Xiaobai take you?"

"Xiaobai took me to find Chen Jianjia." Shen Xing said in a very calm tone.

"What!" Xiong Zhaocai on the other end of the phone was extremely surprised.

"Really? Xiaobai took you to find Jianjia?"

"Yeah." Shen Xing nodded.

"What about Jianjia..." Xiong Zhaocai asked after hesitating for a moment.

"He should have been dead for many years." Shen Xing did not hide anything and told the real situation.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a long time, Xiong Zhaocai's voice sounded again.

"Boss Shen, please send me your location. Thank you." Xiong Zhaocai's voice was a little choked.

Although he had thought about the worst outcome, Xiong Zhaocai still hoped that his good friend could be alive. Even if he was crazy, at least he was alive.

Only by being alive there is hope, and only by being alive there is a chance to find the murderer for Xiaoyi!

But unfortunately, Jianjia died.

"I'll be there soon. Please wait there for a while, Mr. Shen."

Half an hour later, Xiong Zhaocai, soaked all over, rushed to the hill where Chen Jianjia hid the body in the rain.

Shen Xing looked at him and saw that his eyes were red and swollen, his body was not only wet, but also had bruises on his face. His originally clean clothes were now covered in mud, and his pants were torn.

He guessed in an instant that Xiong Zhaocai had fallen on the way here.

"Mr. Xiong, are you okay?" Shen Xing asked with concern.

"It's okay." Xiong Zhaocai shook his head at Shen Xing without caring about his own embarrassment.

"Where is Jianjia? Where is Jianjia?" Xiong Zhaocai asked anxiously, panting.

Shen Xing made way, revealing the tree pit.

Xiong Zhaocai immediately noticed the skeletal arm and thigh bones in the tree pit.

"Jianjia!"

Xiong Zhaocai hugged the bony arm, knelt in the pit, and cried loudly.

"Jianjia, brother!"

"Brother, you died miserably!"

"Jianjia, Jianjia..."

Listening to Xiong Zhaocai's hysterical crying, Shen Xing, who was standing aside, was somewhat moved.

It seems that the two have a very good relationship, at least a life-long friendship, the purest friendship.

Xiong Zhaocai is Chen Jianjia's boss, and Chen Jianjia is just his employee. A boss has such a deep friendship with his employee. It can be seen that the atmosphere in Zhaocai Forest Farm must have been very good more than ten years ago.

In those innocent days, the most precious friendship was probably like this.

A 1.9-meter-tall man, holding a small bony arm, cried like a child.

Shen Xing let Xiong Zhaocai cry while holding his bony arm, and stood aside tacitly without disturbing him.

After five or six minutes, Xiong Zhaocai calmed down and carefully put the bony arm back into the deep pit.

He stood up, turned around and faced Shen Xing, and asked:
"Jianjia and other..." The word "corpse" seemed a little difficult for Xiong Zhaocai to say, and he couldn't bear to say it out loud.

After all, this was the body of his good brother, a living person, turned into a pile of bones...

“The remaining part should still be in the pit.”

"I've called the police, you'd better not move."

Shen Xing reminded.

Hearing this, Xiong Zhaocai nodded, he stepped aside and stood with the old fox.

Xiong Zhaocai looked at the old fox with gratitude. He squatted down, touched the old fox's head, and asked:
"Xiaobai, were you the one who led Boss Shen to find Jianjia?"

"Thank you, thank you..." Xiong Zhaocai leaned over and hugged Xiaobai.

Shen Xing hesitated for a moment, and finally told Xiong Zhaocai about Xiaobai's previous search for a co-worker.

"In fact, Xiaobai has come to you many times in the past ten years. If you had understood what Xiaobai meant earlier, the cases of Chen Jianjia and Yang Yiyi might have been solved long ago."

"It's my fault, my fault." Xiong Zhaocai slapped himself.

Xiong Zhaocai had heard his coworkers mention Xiaobai before. They said Xiaobai always came to the village to find him, and would not eat the dried meat he was fed. Instead, he would just stand there, look up at him, and even bark at him.

At that time, the workers just thought Xiaobai was hungry and didn't think too much about it.

It was not until today that Xiong Zhaocai realized that Xiaobai wanted to take his coworkers to find Jianjia!

"Wait, Boss Shen, what did you just say..."

Xiong Zhaocai suddenly reacted and turned to look at Shen Xing.

"Boss Xiong, what do you think this is?"

Shen Xing handed over the gold ring.

Xiong Zhaocai took it and when he took the ring, the rain suddenly stopped, very unexpectedly.

Shen Xing looked up and saw that the dark cloud at the end of the sky had dissipated. The originally gloomy sky began to become bright, and the sun that was blocked by the dark clouds reappeared.

The dazzling sunlight shines on Changbai Mountain after the rain.

A seven-colored rainbow bridge spans the snow-covered Changbai Mountain.

At this moment, the icy and snowy northern land looks like a dream kingdom.

Looking at the seven-color rainbow across the sky, Shen Xing suddenly thought of a sentence he read in a book when he was in college:

"When the clouds are dispersed, the moon is bright. When the clouds are cleared, the moon is bright."
