Wei Anchang's son Wei Jihao looked around and left his home in a hurry.
Its daybreak.
In the corner, there were a few refugees lying with dull eyes.
No one knows whether they will leave this world at the next moment.
Not far away, a refugee was walking staggeringly.
He looked really worried that he was going to fall to the ground the next moment.
Wei Jihao is fifteen years old this year.
He is very sensible and is Wei Anchang's pride.
He walked very carefully, stopping from time to time to see if anyone was following him.
After leaving Haofu County and the city, he quickly turned eastward.
There is a small village three or four miles away from Haofu.
Almost all the people in the village who could walk were gone.
Some old people with handicapped legs and feet were left behind, waiting for the last moments of their lives.
After entering the village, he walked to a house at the west end of the village and knocked on the door.
After a while, the door opened.
Wei Jihao immediately ducked in.
People in the room quickly stood up.
All of them looked swollen.
Wei Jihao took out a small bag from his arms: "Uncle, we only have moldy flowers. We really can't get anything to eat."
"Thank you for my father, and thank you for the whole family." The middle-aged man in the lead said: "Xiao Song, give some food to the old man Liu Tou next door. He hasn't eaten in a few days. I'm afraid he's going to be hungry. No more."
"Mold flowers" can be eaten, but they are poisonous.
The problem is that at this point, even though it is known to be poisonous, it is still regarded as a treasure that can survive.
A companion next to me seemed a little unhappy: "You haven't eaten in two days."
The middle-aged man glared: "I'm fine, go quickly."
The companion reluctantly walked out.
"Uncle, there is one more thing." Wei Jihao said immediately: "Yesterday, several people came to the house, all from the military command. The leader is Zhu Yanfan, a commissioner."
The middle-aged man immediately paid attention: "How many people came and what did they ask?"
"There are not many people, and they are also talking about the disaster in Henan." Wei Jihao replied: "They seem quite friendly, and they also said that they would investigate the disaster in Henan clearly and then report to the chairman of the committee.
However, before he left, he suddenly asked his father a question. He asked if he had seen seven people passing through the county. "
The middle-aged man's expression immediately changed: "No, it looks like he's being targeted."
"No, dad handled it very well, they shouldn't have any doubts."
"No, no." The middle-aged man frowned: "How could a military commander come to a small place like Haofu County? How did he know about your father? He even specifically asked seven people?"
Then he said decisively: "You may be being followed. Order, retreat immediately!"
The companion who sent "mold flowers" to the next door also came back. ,
There were eight people in the room, including Wei Jihao.
The middle-aged man said quickly: "Take the box and let's go."
Several companions hurriedly dug out several hidden boxes from a pile of garbage.
The middle-aged man took out a pistol from his pocket and checked it:
"Remember our mission, we must take these boxes back. Xiao Song, if something happens, I will cover you, don't worry about me, even if there is only one person left, you must protect these things!"
"Don't worry." Xiao Song said: "Even if I crawl, I will crawl back with the box!"
They had walked here all the way from Kaifeng and had already finished their food.
The body is weak, and from now on, what they rely on is perseverance.
"That's right, uncle."
Wei Jihao thought of something and took out a gold bar from his pocket:
"This is what the commissioner gave to Dad. Dad said, leave it to the organization."
"For me, thank your father." The middle-aged man took the gold bar solemnly: "You should leave quickly and go back and tell your father that if the situation is not right, you are allowed to retreat!"
"Well, I'll leave first."
Wei Jihao left in a hurry.
Several boxes were already in hand.
The middle-aged man looked at his companion again:
"Don't forget your mission! Retreat!"
He walked out first, followed by several companions.
The whole village was lifeless.
At the entrance of the village, a refugee wearing rags was sleeping there.
While passing by, a voice suddenly sounded:
"It's not always smooth sailing along the way."
The sound came from the refugee's mouth.
Several people stopped immediately.
The middle-aged man quickly took out his pistol and whispered:
"Walk!"
One companion after another, they quickly passed by the refugees.
The refugees had no intention of stopping it at all.
Outside the village, there was a refugee who looked at these people coldly, but still made no move.
The middle-aged man pointed his gun at the refugees:
"Friend, tell the truth."
The refugee took off his old hat and smiled:
"Mr. Tang, Tang Hewen, Deputy Director Tang, hello."
Tang Hewen, deputy director of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of Finance of the National Government!
Tang Hewen disappeared with two thousand taels of gold!
Tang Hewen held the gun tightly in his hand: "Who are you!"
The refugee stood up. He had a gray beard and a dark face, which was deliberately smeared with mud, making it difficult to distinguish his original appearance.
Meng Shaoyuan!
The refugee outside the village is his confidant, Li Zhifeng!
He came with two people!
"Who am I? I am Zhu Yanfan, who is responsible for investigating the famine in Henan and the disappearance of gold personnel." Meng Shaoyuan smiled: "I don't have any ill intentions. If I want to arrest you, I won't come alone. Deputy Director Tang, It’s time to put the gun down.”
Tang Hewen still held the gun: "You have mistaken the person, I am not Tang Hewen."
Meng Shaoyuan said calmly: "Before I set off, I saw all the photos of the seven of you, and after passing them through my mind, I will not forget them.
I can tell you sincerely that I am not here to arrest you. Otherwise, with just a gun in your hand, my bodyguards can subdue you. There were two of us, and we brought two shell guns and two Brownings. "
Tang Hewen then put down the gun in his hand. Although his identity was revealed and he faced danger, he still looked calm:
"In that case, Commissioner Zhu, tell me, what do you want to do?"
"I don't want to do anything. I'm just here to solve the case." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "From the first moment I received the task, I thought that seven people disappeared at the same time without anyone noticing. Apart from my cooperation, no one else could There is no other way.
In the Satisfied Hotel, the security team has been arranged downstairs. Where can you go? It was nothing more than that with the help of the hotel owner and the landlady, he quietly left the room and hid in the utility room.
That utility room, I think, can lead to a cellar on the first floor, right? From the beginning to the end, you actually didn't leave the Satisfaction Hotel at all, you hid in it all the time, and then quietly left with the refugees! "
