Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

Chapter 158 Wu 6 points, don’t even think about leaving

"The thieves have disappeared. Where can we find them?" said the stone mill in a muffled voice.

Wang Hu scratched his head anxiously.

"What should we do? We can't let them steal the emergency lights, right?"

"The emergency lights are used to illuminate the cave."

Emergency lights are very important to us.

But it is difficult for thieves to cash in on the emergency light.

I flicked the cigarette butt onto the ground and stomped it out.

I figured I could only do as Lao Li said. If something was stolen, I would contact the middleman to see if I could buy it back.

But who should I find to be the middleman?

Old Li's face may not be enough, but Wei Zhenhai's face is enough.

I don't know if this group of thieves was sent by Wei Zhenhai to set up the trap...

Actually, I was overthinking it.

That group of thieves really has nothing to do with Wei Zhenhai.

He just planned this series of thefts on a whim.

But I didn’t know that at the time.

Based on what Lao Li said before, I guess it has something to do with Wei Zhenhai.

I thought about it for a moment.

I felt that I had to call Wei Zhenhai out no matter what and have things explained to him face to face.

Looking at the store that Ding Yi had just entered, I had an idea.

Those who do business in the area around the train station, whether they open legitimate shops or are one of the four major families of Henglan and Rong, have close ties with each other.

I plan to talk to the store owner first.

As soon as I entered the store, I heard the owner's enthusiastic greeting: "What would you like to order?"

The boss was about forty years old. He had a smile on his face when he spoke and seemed very easy to talk to.

"Boss, a bearded man just walked into your shop..."

Before I could finish, the boss shook his head and said, "Really? I just went to the bathroom and didn't see it."

This is a poor explanation.

But you can also see that the boss is quite afraid of the bearded man.

"Before him, there was another 17 or 18-year-old boy who came into your store to buy cigarettes. They came right after him."

"This... I haven't seen any young men either."

"Are you going to buy anything? If not, leave and don't interfere with my business."

The boss waved his hand impatiently.

The millstone said angrily, "They are all thieves. They stole our things!"

The boss smiled bitterly and said, "At the train station, there are always hundreds of people losing things every day."

"This isn't a police station. There's no point telling me."

Shi Nianzi wanted to argue again, but I stopped him.

I winked at Wang Hu, and he pulled the stone mill out of the store.

I smiled and said, "Do you know that gang of thieves?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't know him!"

I ignored my boss's denial and continued, "Wei Zhenhai is my buddy."

"If the person who stole my things doesn't want to make a big deal out of it, he'd better return the things as soon as possible."

The boss widened his eyes in shock and gasped.

He was obviously frightened by Wei Zhenhai's reputation.

After four or five seconds, the boss gradually calmed down and whispered, "Is he really Xiao Hei's buddy?"

Xiao Hei is Wei Zhenhai's nickname.

No matter what era it is, people in society like to be called nicknames.

"If you don't believe me, call Xiao Hei over and see if he recognizes me."

The boss smiled apologetically and said, "How dare I look for Brother Xiao Hei?"

"The one who stole your things is Wu Liuzhi. I guess he's in the freight yard at the train station right now."

"Right over there."

I looked in the direction my boss pointed.

There is a door on the west side of the train station, and a small locomotive pulling a long line of trailers is driving in.

The trailer is loaded with consignment cargo.

In the last trailer, there was a large square bag.

Isn’t that the big bag containing the emergency light?

No wonder I didn’t see anyone running away with the bags just now. It seems that they stole the bags and then transferred them to the trailer.

These thieves are really cunning.

"Come on!"

I took the lead and chased after the trailer.

Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi didn't understand what was going on, but when they saw me running out, they immediately followed me.

"Master Chen, what are we chasing?"

"Chase the trailer, the stuff is on it!"

I pointed and they also saw the big bag in the car clearly.

The speed of the stone mill suddenly exploded and rushed out like a wild horse.

Wang Hu and I couldn't catch up with him no matter how hard we tried.

But even though the millstone ran very fast, it was still a step too late.

The trailer has entered the freight yard.

When the stone mill was about to chase in, he was stopped by staff in railway uniforms.

"For what?"

"The cargo yard is a restricted area. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter."

"I, I lost my stuff. It was in the car I just got in!"

The staff member said coldly: "If you lost something, look for it somewhere else. That car is full of consigned goods."

"Get out of here!"

The stone mill rolled up his sleeves anxiously, ready to force his way in.

Wang Hu, who followed, hurriedly grabbed him.

I took out a cigarette and handed it to the staff member.

"Comrade, have a cigarette."

"My brother has a straightforward temper, so don't bother with him."

"Our belongings were really put in the car by a thief. Please be flexible and let us in."

After saying that, I took out a Big Unity from my pocket and stuffed it into the man's pocket with a smile.

He was stunned at first.

Then he looked around.

Seeing that there was no one around, he took the money and put it in his pocket: "What's the lost thing like?"

"The big square bag contains emergency lights, which are used for lighting in our Tongguan Gold Mine."

"That thing won't sell for any money even if the thief takes it."

"If the mine is alerted and the case is reported, we will be punished and the thief will also go to jail."

"Brother, please help me. If you can get the things back, there will be a reward."

I said this to ask the staff to help pass the message.

First, it tells thieves that it is difficult to sell stolen items.

The second is to use the name of Tongguan Gold Mine to let the thieves know the seriousness of the matter.

Third, they are willing to exchange rewards for emergency lights.

This set of rhetoric uses both soft and hard tactics.

As long as the thief is not stupid, he will agree to return the things.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go check it out for you."

"Okay, please."

The staff walked into the freight yard and went towards the trailer that was unloading.

I leaned over to look.

I happened to see a familiar figure.

Ding Yi was carrying a large bag containing emergency lights from the trailer.

I didn't bother to agree with the staff, and rushed in with Wang Hu and Shi Nianzi with a wave of my hand.

"Ding Yi!" I yelled.

Ding Yi, who was holding the big bag, shuddered and ran away without looking back.

But the emergency light bag was too heavy and he couldn't run fast while carrying it.

He hadn't run a few steps when he was caught up by the stone mill.

Shi Nianzi snatched the big bag and then kicked it.

Ding Yi flew out like a kite with a broken string.

Snapped!

After he landed, he slid a few meters due to inertia, and rolled back and forth on the ground, holding his lower back.

"Ah! Killing!"

"Murder in broad daylight!"

Following his screams, more than a dozen people walked out of the cargo yard warehouse.

Each of them was holding a crowbar, hammer and other tools.

They surrounded us with murderous eyes.

The leader was the bearded Wu Liuzhi.

Wu Liuzhi glanced at Ding Yi, who was rolling around and screaming, then turned back and sneered at us, "There's a road to heaven, but you don't take it. There's no door to hell, but you've come to it yourself."

"Now that you're here, don't leave."
