If nothing happened to Brother Da Chuang and Uncle Dong was killed, I think it might be a vendetta or other circumstances. But Brother Da Chuang was just caught on the front foot and Uncle Dong died immediately. In my opinion, this is murder. The possibility of silence is very high.
As for the person who killed Uncle Dong, I have no clue yet, but I think it must have something to do with the antiques and cultural relics industry. I guess I was afraid that Uncle Dong would be caught later and confessed to him, so I took action in advance.
How should I put it? I actually suspected that Uncle Dong had sold us out, and I was also afraid that we would be in bad luck if he was caught. So in my opinion, Uncle Dong’s death is actually a good thing, at least in my heart. The stone can fall to the ground, but I am a little curious about who the person behind this is. This person should have nothing to do with us, right?
Maybe because I didn't speak for a long time, Sister Yuan quickly said: "What's wrong with you Jianjun? Why don't you speak? Is it because you feel uncomfortable after hearing the news?"
Then I smiled and said: "Uncle Dong and I don't have a close relationship, so I have nothing to feel sad about. On the contrary, if something happens to him, we won't be afraid that he will betray us."
Sister Yuan sighed and said: "Although this is what happened, I still have a lot of interactions with him, and I still feel quite uncomfortable. Who is this person who killed him? I'm a little panicked now. This You won’t kill me to silence me even if you turn around, right?”
"Ah? Why do I want to kill you to silence you?" I asked.
Sister Yuan said: "Since this person killed Uncle Dong, I think he must be in the cultural relics and antiques business, and he should be from our local area. And I have been selling orders for so many years. What if it is someone I know? What if?" I also had a deal with him, what if he wants to kill me?"
I comforted Sister Yuan and said, "It's probably unlikely. Uncle Dong was killed this time. It was mainly related to the arrest of Brother Dachuang. The murderer was probably afraid that Uncle Dong would be caught and implicate him. In fact, Brother Dachuang and us also There is no contact, and the possibility of directly implicating us is very low, so you are safe, and Uncle Dong is now dead, and the murderer is also safe. He does not need to kill anyone again and silence him. Whoever has nothing to do should stuff more in his hand. It’s a human life, so don’t think too much about it.”
Sister Yuan said that she was relieved after hearing what I said, but as soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly asked: "Do you think it's possible that it's Brother Snake?"
"Ah? Brother Snake? Why Brother Snake?"
"Didn't you suspect that Brother Snake and Uncle Dong were colluding to mess with us? Didn't you think that Uncle Dong provided Liu Xuanxuan with the evidence of our tomb robbing? What if there was some shady deal between Uncle Dong and Brother Snake? He might kill Uncle Dong and silence him."
I said that I cannot rule out this possibility. If it is really Brother Snake, then we are also in danger. We must be careful about Brother Snake when we turn around.
"Um."
After calling Sister Yuan, I also told Zhao Hu and the others the news. Zhao Hu had a similar idea to him before, that is, Uncle Dong is a very reliable person and should not betray us. The relationship between him and Brother Snake There is probably no shady deal, and even if there is, it has nothing to do with us.
So when Uncle Dong was killed this time, he thought it was due to a vendetta or something else. It had nothing to do with Brother Snake. He also said that it was possible that someone close to Brother Da Chuang wanted to silence Uncle Dong.
No matter what, I still think there is something wrong with Brother Snake, so I remind them to be careful.
After we rested during the day, we set off at around 11 o'clock in the evening. As agreed yesterday, we first checked the ruts and footprints at the door, and didn't see anything abnormal, which means No one came during the day, so the old man watching the gate probably didn't notice that something had happened to the two dogs.
Later, we drilled in through the gap in the barbed wire fence, and then moved to another place to continue collecting soil with the Luoyang shovel. To be honest, I really wanted to find out what was so strange about this land and why we could only detect thieves. Cave, but no five-flower soil or tombs could be found.
We were busy until about three or four o'clock in the middle of the night. We discovered a few more robber caves. Including the ones discovered yesterday, we found eight in succession, and they were from all ages. There was also a skeleton at the end of each robber cave. .
Fearing that evil spirits were at work, we later used some methods to test for evil spirits, but the test results showed that there was no problem at all, which was even more strange.
In desperation, we all gathered at the entrance of a robbery cave and discussed our next plan.
Zhao Hu lit a cigarette and said: "If you ask me, this place is a waste of time. Let's just buy the better old firewood. Although it is a bit more expensive, we should gain a lot. If we had directly After buying it, maybe I’ve finished exploring that hall now, what we lack now is time and efficiency.”
Xiaobianzi said: "The problem is that there are so many holes here, and there is obviously something fishy about it. It would be a pity if we just give up like this, and it is also a bit inconsistent with our usual style."
Zhao Hu took a puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke and said: "The problem is that things are different now. Our team has always been very strong before. Now we are just three brothers and two women. We are not confident enough. Moreover, we have experienced Having experienced so many life-and-death disasters, I feel that there is no need to take too many risks now. There are only robbery holes in this place but no sign of any big tombs, so I really have no motivation."
Sister Yuan looked at me at this time and said: "Jianjun, I listen to you, tell me, should we continue digging here, or go buy Lao Chai?"
I was about to speak when there was a sudden movement outside, which seemed to be footsteps. This made my heart tighten. I immediately turned off the flashlight and signaled others to stop talking. After that, I asked Zhao Hu to put out his cigarette. extinguish.
After listening carefully for a few seconds and not hearing any more noise, Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Are you too nervous? Did you hear it wrong? Or maybe it was a hare or a pheasant walking over the grass. sound?"
I said, "It sounds like human footsteps. I'd better go up and take a look. I have to be careful. What if the old man discovers us and comes over to take a look?"
With that said, I walked to the front of the Thief's Cave, and when I was done, I stuck my head out and took a look outside.
Just when I poked my head out, I found a few dark figures standing a few meters in front. The weak moonlight shone on the backs of these people, making their outlines look clearer. To be honest, this seems really scary at first glance.
I was nervous about whether these people were humans or ghosts, and was about to alert the other people in the cave to the new situation. Suddenly, several flashlights hit me, piercing me so hard that I couldn't even open my eyes.
