Guanzhong Tomb Robbery Notes

While shouting in a wide-brimmed hat, he put his right hand on his waist as if drawing a gun.

I don't know if he is bluffing.

Although there were regulations on police gun management in those days, they were not strictly enforced.

Especially the old detectives who have been handling cases for many years, they always carry guns with them.

Later, there were many cases of gun theft and robbery, and the police gun management regulations began to be strictly enforced.

Old Xu trembled and hid behind his wide-brimmed hat: "Could the people in the woods be the ones who are making us feel trapped?"

"Will you anger them by doing this? Why don't you talk to them and be humble..."

The man in the wide-brimmed hat gritted his teeth, pulled out his gun, and raised the muzzle to the sky: "I don't believe he is not afraid of guns!"

"People in the woods, come out!"

"I'll count to three!"

"If you don't come out, I'll shoot!"

Seeing that he really had a gun in his hand, Taoist Priest Zhang and I looked at each other.

Now I have no choice but to go out.

My heart was pounding as I walked out.

This was the first time I had close contact with people from the relevant departments since I started tomb robbing.

And he carries a gun!

As we were about to walk out of the woods, the man in the wide-brimmed hat shouted again.

"Put your hands on your head and slow down your pace!"

"Don't do anything tricky!"

He was quite cautious and treated us as dangerous people.

We both raised our hands behind our heads and slowly walked out of the woods.

The gun in the wide-brimmed hat was also pointed at us.

Looking at the black muzzle of the gun, my heart almost jumped out of my throat.

I tried to force myself to calm down, wondering what he would ask and how I should answer to get away with it.

Back then, it was different from today. You had to get a letter of introduction to travel far away.

If you can't get away with it verbally, your various IDs and letters of introduction will be checked...

"stop!"

"Get down!" the man in the wide-brimmed hat shouted again.

Taoist Priest Zhang and I squatted down on the side of the road with our hands on our heads.

The man in the wide-brimmed hat and holding a gun walked towards me and stopped less than two meters away from me.

"Name, age, where do you live?"

"Why are you running into the mountains so late at night?"

"Are you plotting a crime?!"

"Answer honestly!"

The man in the wide-brimmed hat spoke sternly and shouted questions like a barrage of cannonballs.

"My name is……"

Just as I was about to answer my name and age, I was interrupted by his sharp shout.

"Looked up!"

"Look at me and answer!"

I have to say that this person has interrogation experience.

Anyone with poor psychological quality would be exposed if his harsh shouting interrupted their answering rhythm and train of thought.

Moreover, asking people to look up and answer with his gaze, and being looked down upon by him from a high position, can create even greater mental pressure.

My mind was in a mess at that time.

It was only by holding on with all his strength that he was able to keep a straight face and not show any panic.

I slowly raised my head and looked at the wide-brimmed hat.

He has a long face shaped like a "目" (mu) shape, also known as a "horse face".

A pair of triangular eyes revealed a fierceness, and his hooked nose added a bit of fierceness to him.

At that time, I didn't understand physiognomy, but I could tell that he was a ruthless guy.

Talking about shooting is no joke.

People like him would shoot without hesitation!

"My name is Chen Shitou..."

As soon as I said my name, the man in the wide-brimmed hat shone a flashlight into my eyes.

Although the light from a flashlight is not very strong, it can still cause discomfort to the eyes when it is shone into them at close range in the dark.

I couldn't help but raise my hands to cover my eyes.

But he kicked her on the shoulder.

Snapped!

I was kicked and fell on my back.

"Who told you to move?!"

"Want to be shot?!"

"Get up, squat and answer!"

The man in the wide-brimmed hat shouted again, this guy is not just trying to intimidate me.

It's like killing the chicken to scare the monkey.

When he kicked me down, the muzzle of his gun and his eyes were directed at Taoist Master Zhang.

Apparently he thought I was too young to be in charge.

I suspect that Taoist Master Zhang is the one in charge.

Lao Xu walked over in small steps.

He glanced at me, then turned to look at Taoist Master Zhang.

Then he exclaimed.

"Lao Zhang?!"

"It's really you, Lao Zhang!"

"Comrade Xu." Taoist Priest Zhang raised his head and smiled.

"Lao Xu, do you know each other?" The man in the wide-brimmed hat narrowed his eyes and pulled back Lao Xu who was rushing towards Taoist Zhang.

"Why are you pulling me? This is Lao Zhang. He saved countless lives in the surrounding villages. He was the one who cured my mother's illness."

"Cough cough."

The man in the wide-brimmed hat coughed vigorously twice.

He pointed his gun at me and Taoist Zhang and feinted for a second before saying coldly, "Hold still! Don't move!"

"Otherwise, the bullet won't recognize anyone!"

After saying that, he pulled Lao Xu and walked two steps to the side.

He whispered, "Don't you think these two are suspicious? Meeting in the woods deep in the mountains late at night, they must be up to no good."

"You must be kidding. Last year, the county magistrate had a terrible stomachache and he went to Lao Zhang to get it cured."

"Put your gun away!"

"Give Lao Zhang and that young man a sincere apology, otherwise he will whisper something in the county magistrate's ear and you will be in trouble."

Lao Xu's words made the man in the wide-brimmed hat change his expression.

I thought that luck would turn and I would be able to solve a big case, but I didn't expect to hit a wall.

"Why didn't you say so earlier!"

"Won't the floods flood the Dragon King Temple?"

The wide-brimmed hat is like a chameleon.

The ruthless face immediately turned into a smile.

He walked quickly to Taoist Master Zhang and helped him up with both hands: "Comrade Zhang, hello, hello."

"I've heard your name for so long, and I was blind just now, unable to recognize the great man."

Taoist Master Zhang waved his hand calmly: "Ignorance is not a crime."

"But you just kicked him..."

When I heard what Taoist Master Zhang said, I straightened my back instantly.

You can’t get kicked in vain!

Although it is impossible to kick back and retaliate, at least he should be made to apologize.

I stared at the wide-brimmed hat with a smile.

His face turned blue, then red, then red, then white, and his cheeks were bulging and a little distorted from biting his back.

"Brother Chen, I have a bad attitude and acted rudely. Please forgive me."

Lao Xu chimed in, "It was all a misunderstanding. He thought you were up to no good."

"Once the misunderstanding is cleared up, the matter will be over."

"Little brother, aren't you right?"

After saying that, Lao Xu winked at me.

Signaled me to give the man in the wide-brimmed hat a step and not make things too ugly.

I followed up with, “Yes.”

"He's doing his job for everyone's safety, and I understand that."

The man in the wide-brimmed hat smiled and said, "Long live understanding."

"Lao Zhang, Brother Chen, my name is Zhao Ziang, and I'm from the County Bureau's Criminal Investigation Team. If you need any help in the future, just come to me."

He said this to Taoist Master Zhang.

He wanted to contact the county magistrate through Taoist Master Zhang, which shows that he was very active.

Taoist Master Zhang did not comment.

I took over the conversation and said, "I'm sure I'll trouble you if I need anything."

"Okay, I accept you as my little brother."

Zhao Ziang showed his chivalrous side, put his arm around my shoulders and said, "Let's get closer from now on."

"It must be very close." I grinned.

Want to get close to you? That would be like the mouse marrying the cat.

I'm just trying to strike up a conversation and give you a way out.

Don't try to use me to build a relationship with Taoist Master Zhang.

But what I didn't expect was that I would later have a lot of grievances and entanglements with Zhao Ziang.

At this time, Lao Xu took Taoist Zhang's arm and said, "Lao Zhang, we have hit a wall of ghosts."

"Help me break it!"
