Chapter 686: Tomb Robber

Du Fei took a quick look around the yard, and let Xiao Hong out while Aunt Qin and Old Wu were not paying attention.

Xiao Hong hid in a pile of debris and sniffed with her nose, but did not enter the house.

Instead, she suddenly climbed over the wall and left Qin Daquan's yard.

Because Qin Daquan had not lived at home for the past two days, there was only some residual old smell here.

On the contrary, outside the yard, Xiao Hong smelled the same smell she had just smelled on Qin Daquan.

Du Fei pretended to walk around the yard, came out of Qin Daquan's house, and went around behind his wall.

The layout of the entire Qinjiatun is similar to the shape of a "Feng" character. .??.??

Qin Daquan's house is at the north end of the village. There is no other yard behind his house, but a field with poplar trees.

Du Fei came here, wandered around in the woods, and soon locked onto one of the trees.

Aunt Qin and Old Wu followed behind, wondering what Du Fei was doing?

Especially Old Wu, who was also an experienced husband.

In fact, he had some doubts since Du Fei and Wang Dacheng appeared yesterday.

He believed that Wang Dacheng was a public servant, because Wang Dacheng had the unique temperament of their peers.

But he didn't believe that Du Fei was Wang Dacheng's leader and an expert in the city.

Because Du Fei's temperament was not like that of someone in their line of work.

Now there was no rules at all. What was the on-site inspection at Qin Daquan's house just now?

It was not even a quick visit, but he came out directly. What did this mean?

However, just when Old Wu disagreed and felt that Du Fei was being mysterious.

Du Fei looked up at a tree.

This was an old poplar tree with a thick and straight trunk and grew very tall.

Because it was winter, the leaves fell cleanly.

As soon as he looked up, he could see a big bird's nest made of dry branches on the tree.

I don't know what bird left it, but the diameter is more than half a meter.

Du Fei looked up, then looked around and saw half a brick not far away.

He walked over and picked it up.

Aunt Qin and Old Wu, who followed him, saw Du Fei's intention.

But when they saw Du Fei pick up the brick, they pouted at the same time.

Aunt Qin's voice was "Poor city kid, bricks can't be thrown that high!"

Old Wu was speechless, with only one thought in his mind "Such a big brick, are you kidding me?"

However, the next moment, suddenly!

With the sound of breaking through the air, a red light shot up into the sky.

With a bang, it hit the bird's nest more than ten meters above the ground.

The bird's nest made of branches was broken up at once.

Crackling, it fell from the sky like flowers scattered by fairies.

Aunt Qin and Old Wu, who saw it with their own eyes, could not help but be stunned.

Especially Old Wu, he saw clearly that the brick thrown by Du Fei was like a cannonball. After hitting the bird's nest, it did not stop, but continued to fly up until it reached a height of nearly 20 meters before falling down exhausted.

"Gulp" sound!

Old Wu swallowed his saliva, and there was only one thought in his mind, "Is this still a human? A human-shaped grenade launcher?"

Strictly speaking, this half brick is probably about the same weight as the long-handled grenade used now.

In the army, there are many people who can throw grenades 70 to 80 meters away.

What really surprised Old Wu was that Du Fei not only threw far, but also accurately.

And shooting from bottom to top is more difficult than horizontal shooting, and it is more difficult to aim.

Du Fei finished loading, and waited for the scattered branches and dust to settle as if nothing had happened.

He walked over, bent down, and picked up a black cloth bag that had just fallen with the bird's nest from the ground.

It was heavy in the hand, and there was a "clattering" sound of metal collision from inside.

When Auntie Qin and Old Wu saw Du Fei picking up something, they also came back to their senses and hurried over.

Du Fei did not avoid them, but directly untied the black cloth bag and looked inside from the bag mouth.

It was actually half a bag full of shining silver dollars, at least two or three hundred!

Du Fei reached out and took one from it, his eyes slightly fixed.

It was not the common Yuan Datou, but the silver dollar with a standing man pattern.

Qin Xiangyang had picked up this kind of silver dollar in the Qintun River near Qinjiatun before.

Qin Huairou said that it caused a sensation in their village at the time, and many people followed to the river to pick up "big oceans".

In the end, some people really picked it up!

It was this kind of "standing man" silver dollar.

Unexpectedly, Qin Daquan actually hid most of the bag here!

Where did these silver dollars come from? Is it related to the disappearance of Bangganer and others?

With these questions, Du Fei returned to the village committee again.

Qin Daquan's mouth is really hard. What Du Fei was like when he left just now, he is still the same when he comes back now.

Wang Dacheng's patience was almost exhausted.

But this was Qinjiatun. If he didn't have evidence and took action rashly, it would be difficult to deal with if it caused a backlash from the villagers.

Besides, he and Du Fei were not on official business this time, but on private business.

If he couldn't get it over with, it would be a big trouble for both him and Du Fei.

So Wang Dacheng was very cautious.

However, when Du Fei came back, he threw the black cloth bag in front of Qin Daquan.

Suddenly, there was a "crash" sound, and several silver dollars spilled out of the bag.

Qin Daquan was stunned.

He never dreamed that during the short time Du Fei went out, he would actually find out what he had tried so hard to hide in Dayang.

Du Fei said coldly, "Qin Daquan, please explain~ Where do these come from?"

Qin Daquan's face turned pale, and he no longer had the courage to deny it.

Wang Dacheng took the opportunity to slap the table, "Qin Daquan!" ’

Qin Daquan trembled with fright and instinctively denied, "No, I don't know, this is not mine."

Before Du Fei could speak, Wang Dacheng sneered, "You still don't admit it? I'm afraid you don't know what fingerprints are. I can't say you've touched every single one of these silver coins in this bag, but you will definitely find some with your fingerprints in it. I see how you can deny it."

Qin Daquan didn't know a few Chinese characters, and people who said he was semi-literate were compliments because he didn't even know what a fingerprint was.

But he heard that Gong An had a way to know which silver dollar he had touched.

This time he was completely panicked.

Moreover, Wang Dacheng said something wrong. He really touched all the silver coins in the bag one by one.

Wang Dacheng struck while the iron was hot and said sternly, "Qin Daquan! Tell me, you took three children into the mountains together and accidentally discovered these silver coins. In order to keep them all, you killed and silenced them!"

Qin Daquan was suddenly stunned, dumbfounded, and extremely frightened, and suddenly stood up from the stool.

There was no interrogation chair to control him, but Lao Wu and his colleagues, who had returned with Du Fei, immediately stepped forward and held him down.

Qin Daquan struggled and shouted, "No, I didn't kill anyone! Really, the government, I really didn't see them! The government... the government..."

At this moment, Qin Daquan finally collapsed.

He was not very courageous to begin with, so he could just grit his teeth and withstand it.

All for these silver dollars.

He had counted it before and found a total of two hundred and forty-five oceans. He took it to a bank in the city to exchange it. One ocean could be exchanged for two or three dollars.

These oceans are worth at least five hundred dollars.

What a concept!

If he converted it into work points he earned in the production team, he would earn five yuan a year, and five hundred yuan would be enough for him to work for a hundred years.

But now, the silver dollar has been discovered and must be handed over to the public.

What's even more frightening is that Wang Dacheng also labeled him as a murderer and wanted to kill him.

Qin Daquan's psychological defense collapsed.

It’s like pouring beans from a bamboo tube, bah bah bah, it’s all said.

Du Fei and others present frowned after listening.

Because Qin Daquan swore that he never saw the three children from the beginning to the end.

He didn't completely lie just now. He did accidentally slip down the hillside while helping to find someone.

It was already late at that time, he fainted when he fell, and it was already dark when he opened his eyes again...

As for where these ‘standing people’ Dayang came from, he was a little hesitant and unwilling to say.

It wasn't until Wang Dacheng banged the table again that he came clean.

In the afternoon, north of Qinjiatun.

At the foot of Dayang Mountain, in an inconspicuous hillside.

Qin Daquan had fallen here before.

At this time, Qin Daquan came here with Du Fei, Wang Dacheng, Lao Wu and the village security director.

Under the guidance of Qin Daquan, the location where he slipped from the hillside was found.

This is a shady, bare hillside, and the traces of sliding down from above can be clearly seen on it.

Qin Daquan licked his lips, raised his hand and pointed to the mountain col to the east and said, "Government, that... is right in front."

"Let's go~" the security director scolded angrily.

The security director is a bald, skinny old man, older than the village secretary Qin Erqiang.

Qin Daquan usually dislikes Qin Daquan for being idle, but this time he caused such a big mess, and he doesn't feel good about him even more.

Qin Daquan shrank his neck and took a few steps forward.

It cost about seven or eight meters. He stood next to a pile of hay and pointed, "It's right here."

"Open it!" Without Du Fei having to say anything, the security director scolded him directly.

Qin Daquan said "Hey" and quickly reached out to push away the hay and dead leaves.

After a few moments, a section of white bones was revealed!

Qin Daquan was not afraid and raised his head to look at Du Fei and Wang Dacheng.

He knew that these two young men had the highest official position, so he nodded and bowed and said, "This is the government."

It turned out that the more than 200 "standing people" Dayang in the black cloth pocket were all found by him from this skeleton by accident!

After Qin Daquan fell, he couldn't find his way home and found the skeleton by accident.

"Open them all~" Du Fei frowned and said.

Because this skeleton had been shaken into pieces by Qin Daquan before, there was no damage to the scene or anything.

Simply don't bother the two masters.

Du Fei felt a little depressed.

I thought I had found important clues and could find the three missing children through Qin Daquan.

Who knows, it's just an unexpected coincidence.

Du Fei was thinking as he looked up the mountain along the small col.

This place belongs to the terrain of "two mountains sandwiching a ditch".

The small valley in the middle extends from the top of the mountain to a col at the foot of the mountain.

Du Fei also discovered that there are traces of water erosion in valleys and mountain valleys.

This shows that seasonal mountain streams are likely to form in this place during the rainy seasons of summer and autumn.

This made Du Fei a little concerned.

At the beginning, he speculated that the reason why the "Standing Man" Dayang was able to be picked up in the Qintun River near Qinjiatun was probably because a flash flood broke out in Dayang Mountain and submerged the secret mausoleum secretly built by Prince Qing.

And in 1937, when the Japanese entered the capital.

Zai Zhen, the last Prince Qing, hastily transferred the property of the palace and hid it in this secret mausoleum.

This included a large number of "standing people" dollars flowing in from Hong Kong.

"Could it be that Prince Qing's secret mausoleum is on it?" Du Fei couldn't help but speculate secretly.

But it was just a flash of thought. First, this is not a top priority now, and second, the current clues are not enough to make such a judgment.

At this time, Qin Daquan had already uncovered the hay and leaves covering the skeleton.

This skeleton was very white, and it was unknown how many years it had been dead.

There were only a few rotten clothes and a leather bag left on the body.

According to Qin Daquan's account, those dollars were found in the leather bag.

There were some other things in it, but he didn't move them.

Sure enough, there was a wrinkled black leather bag in the middle of the skeleton.

At this time, Wang Dacheng had put on a pair of thread gloves and reached out to pick up the bag.

He opened the lid, turned it upside down, and dumped everything on the ground.

If it was a normal case, Wang Dacheng would not be so rough.

But Qin Daquan had already said that he had searched the bag from inside to outside, and only stuffed everything else back after searching out all the money inside.

So, there was no point in checking it carefully.

It would be better to be straightforward and save time.

Du Fei was watching from the side.

A lot of things were poured out of the bag.

The most conspicuous one was a small foldable shovel that looked a bit like an engineer shovel.

It fell to the ground and hit the stone, making a sound of metal clashing.

Du Fei reached out to pick it up.

It was a bit heavy in his hand, but it was not an industrial product, but was made by a highly skilled blacksmith.

Du Fei pulled it with his hand. Because it was too old and had been soaked in water, the folding mechanism had rusted.

Seeing this thing, Du

Fei had some guesses about the identity of the deceased.

This is probably a tomb robber!

As for whose tomb he robbed, it is not difficult to guess from the money Qin Daquan took away.

But I don't know why he died here?

Or, he may not die here, but he may die on the mountain, and his body was washed down by the mountain torrent...

Du Fei thought about it while putting down the shovel, and saw a cloth cover.

This cloth cover is half the size of a palm, and the black cloth outside has decayed, revealing a vague wooden sign inside.

Du Fei picked it up and wanted to open it from the mouth of the cloth cover, but with a little force, the cloth cover broke directly!

Revealing the black wooden sign inside.

This wooden sign has some weight, because Du Fei has several pieces of rosewood furniture at home, and he was sure that this wooden sign was made of small-leaf rosewood as soon as he got it.

And it is not short, and the surface has formed patina.

But after being thrown in the wild for so many years, the patina is a bit dry and not shiny, but it can be restored as long as it is taken in hand and slightly rubbed.

There are two curvy seal characters on the front of the wooden sign.

Seal characters are divided into large seal characters and small seal characters. Small seal characters were determined by Prime Minister Li Si after Qin Shihuang unified the world, and they were very close to traditional Chinese characters. Du Fei could still recognize a few of them.

But the two seal characters on this wooden sign are the more ancient large seal characters. Du Fei looked at them for a long time but couldn't recognize them.

When he showed them to Wang Dacheng and Lao Wu, they also shook their heads.

As for the director of public security and Qin Daquan, let alone.

On the back of the wooden sign, there is a very complicated Taoist talisman pattern.

In addition, Du Fei also found something that he was very concerned about.

A waist plaque covered with verdigris from Prince Qing's mansion.

Du Fei has seen more than ten of these waist plaques so far.

He has always suspected that the waist plaque is related to Prince Qing's treasure.

But what is the specific relationship, he has never figured it out.

Now it seems that he really guessed it right, otherwise why would this person carry this waist plaque?

It also proved that the deceased was indeed a tomb robber.

Du Fei handed the wooden sign to Wang Dacheng and asked him to keep the evidence.

He looked at Qin Daquan again.

Although no direct clues of the disappearance of the three children were found from Qin Daquan this time, Du Fei had a vague feeling that the disappearance of Bangganer and the other three might also be related to the secret mausoleum of Prince Qing.

Now it can be basically ruled out that there were wild beasts in the mountains.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to search such a large area without finding any clues.

Even if tigers eat people, they don't eat so cleanly.

In addition, there should be no bad people.

If there are really people hiding nearby, they may be able to avoid large-scale mountain searches, but they can't avoid the condescending vision of Xiaohei and others.

So now, the most likely possibility is that the three naughty children accidentally discovered the entrance to Prince Qing's mausoleum.

Whether it's exploration or treasure hunting, they got trapped inside and couldn't get out.

Only this possibility can explain why Xiao Hei, No. 2, and No. 3 have been circling around and searching for almost a day, but still have not found anything.

Because they are not on the ground at all, but underground!

If we follow this idea, the next step is to find the mausoleum of Prince Qing, and perhaps we can find the three naughty children.

Thinking of this, Du Fei subconsciously looked up along the mountain stream formed by erosion.

According to his previous guess, Prince Qing’s secret mausoleum is very likely hidden here.

Follow the river and go upstream, maybe you can find it.

However... at this moment, Du Fei hesitated.

If the secret mausoleum of Prince Qing is found at this time, what should we do with the huge treasure hidden inside?

The militia of the commune, the villagers of Qinjiatun, and hundreds of people are searching the nearby mountains.

The county public security, Wang Dacheng, and the three children who may already be in the tomb.

In this case, Du Fei has no chance to swallow up this huge amount of wealth.

What to do?

However, before Du Fei could figure it out, he suddenly heard a warm cheer from a distance.

Several people here heard it and looked in the direction of the sound.

That was the direction where the militia and villagers were searching and rescuing.

This made Du Fei excited, "Could it be found!"
