Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
Jiang Qiao used the pretext of buying medicine and looking for someone to make them wait. She first took out medicinal herbs from her spatial storage, then went to the county public security bureau and contacted Song Shutian using their internal telephone line.
"What? You're telling the truth?"
"I don't know what's down there, it's definitely not a corpse, so I have to go take a look, and I'd like to get some help from others."
"Don't rush, I also have something to tell you..."
Song Shutian told Jiang Qiao about the watch and the enemy agents' arrival, "Have the director send a few capable men to accompany you. If you discover anything, write to me immediately, and I'll head over to meet you."
The police chief was dumbfounded when Jiang Qiao produced her work ID. It was a rare item, though he had heard of it before, but he had never seen such a young girl possess such a document. He wondered what extraordinary abilities this girl had.
However, once the other party showed their identification, they had to cooperate fully. "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go with you right away. If there's any problem, you should send someone back immediately, and we'll figure out how to mobilize more manpower."
He could only cooperate with the confidential department and didn't dare to inquire. It seemed to be a big deal, since they even used an internal phone line to contact their superiors. This must be a serious matter.
A police car followed Jiang Qiao's car, picking up Hou Diankui and the others who had bought some snacks, and the group quickly set off.
"Girl, has something happened?"
Hou Diankui felt that things were not so simple. He thought it would be good to bring one or two people to cooperate, but he did not expect there to be six.
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Master Hou, Uncle Song, you need to be prepared. The bad guys have already gone over there. If, as you said, they are also searching, hopefully we can find them faster than they can, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable."
Have you heard of chemical weapons and bacteriological bombs?
The two old men were seasoned travelers who had seen the world. Upon hearing those two words, they were immediately dumbfounded. "What? You mean it?"
"It's just my guess. I hope it's not true, but what if it is? If this stuff gets out, how many people would suffer?"
Hou Diankui and his brother then realized the seriousness of the situation, because they had seen patients like this before.
"Girl, don't worry. With your Uncle Song and me here, as long as that thing is still here, we'll find it for you even if we have to dig our heads out of the ground."
Jiang Qiao wanted to hear those words: "Alright, with you two seasoned veterans here, I'm not worried. As for safety, don't worry. With those guys behind you, and Chunming and me, no one will dare to mess with you. Once we get there, just go all out and get to work."
Jiang Qiao drove the car at full speed. Although the watch contained the key, she was worried that there might be some expert among the enemy agents who could open it without the key. That would be terrible. So she had to find the place before them.
Following Song Changqing's directions, Jiang Qiao and his group drove onto a mountain road and entered a place with only a few houses.
“This is Liujiagou. These families moved here later. Do you see the land on that mountain? The graves are in that land.”
Jiang Qiao glanced around and realized the car couldn't go any further. "Okay, let's get out first. Chunming, you carry Uncle Song on your back. Master Hou, you take the people up first. I'll go ask around at these houses."
There were only six households. When they saw Jiang Qiao and the others arrive by car, everyone was curious and went out to see what was going on. It was a good thing for Jiang Qiao to save himself some trouble.
Her main purpose was to find out if any strangers had come to their area to inquire about anything.
"There were no strangers, but someone came to our old place asking about some kind of cemetery. You know, that was before Liberation, who could remember that? We all moved here later, so we didn't know anything about that. Then the person left."
Young comrade, what's going on? Is there some kind of treasure or something here?
Jiang Qiao smiled and said, "What treasure? If there really were a treasure, those tomb raiders would have been eyeing it long ago. Would they have stayed quiet like this?"
Jiang Qiao hesitated for a moment, "Why did you move here from your original place?"
To be honest, she was genuinely curious. One of the men sighed, "Who would want to move out? It's so far from the village, but we had no choice. We moved out a few years ago because of bandits."
"Wasn't there any bandit suppression?"
"They've wiped them out. The bandits have either fled or scattered, and things have been much quieter these past few years."
Jiang Qiao nodded thoughtfully, pondering a question: Where did the enemy agent who hadn't shown up go?
However, she couldn't even begin to think about this problem. She wasn't the one doing the tracking, and in this remote place, even if there were messages, there was nowhere to send them. She would have to find a way to get Song Shutian and the others to teach her how to send messages and send her this thing as well. Although she had it in her space and knew how to do it, she needed to find a source for it.
Jiang Qiao waved to the villagers, "Everyone, go back first. If anything happens or if any strangers come, come upstairs and find us."
As Jiang Qiao walked, she looked around at the terrain. To be honest, if it weren't for Hou Diankui and his fellow apprentice, she really wouldn't have been able to find her way across this large hilly area. It was all just ground; who knew what might be buried underneath?
Chunming pushed Song Changqing and Hou Diankui around the field, searching everywhere, while the six policemen kept watch around the area.
Jiang Qiao went over and asked a policeman about the bandits.
"No news for the past few years, what's going on? Have bandits been discovered again?"
Jiang Qiao frowned and continued to ask, "Were they all wiped out back then, or were there any remnants?"
The police hesitated for a moment, then said, "The army came to suppress the bandits back then, so there might have been some who escaped. But we haven't heard of anyone causing trouble in recent years. Maybe they've all changed their ways and started anew."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "It's hard to say. Anyway, you all need to be careful about anything that involves enemy agents."
On this side of the field, Hou Diankui and his fellow apprentice had already traversed the newly cleared slope, and the two of them used a compass to roughly determine the location.
When Jiang Qiao arrived, the two were discussing something. "Jiang Qiao, you've come at the right time. Look, it's in this area."
Jiang Qiao glanced at it and said, "Ordinary people's tombs aren't this big. This is clearly a basement. Are you sure you've got this location?"
The two brothers nodded in unison. "Don't worry, we've been in this business for so many years, we're confident we can handle this. What are you going to do on your end, start digging or what?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Song Shutian arrived with his men, a large and imposing force of soldiers brought in by green pickup trucks.
Jiang Qiao's heart leaped with joy, "Our helper has arrived—"
She was worried that if Song Shutian didn't come, someone might take action that night, so it was good that he brought people with him.
Upon seeing Jiang Qiao standing on the slope, Song Shutian quickly directed people to come over.
"So, have you found anything?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "The approximate area has been determined. Brother Song, you're a real lifesaver! I was just worried about how we could dig with just a few of us. It's good that you brought people; we can get started sooner."
Just as Song Shutian was about to speak, the man next to him with binoculars suddenly said, "Oh no, there's someone in the woods, spying on us."
Song Shutian waved his hand and said, "Go and see, make sure you catch him."
"He's spotted us and started running! Go after him!"
The people behind rushed out with this person, after all, the woods were still some distance away. Jiang Qiao frowned and said, "It seems that we've been targeted. I've found the location. You guys, when do you want to open it? Master Hou, come here for a moment."
