Chapter 287 Surrender
There was only one thing in the box -
A stone with an odd shape.
It looks pitch black at first glance, but appears green when a flashlight is shone on it. The surface is bumpy and has marks like round pits of varying sizes. The shape of the stone is also irregular, neither square nor round, some surfaces are rough, and some are smooth.
Su Tong felt that this should be a purely natural stone because the patterns and marks on it did not appear to have any regular pattern.
Why did Mr. Peng spend so much effort to find this seemingly insignificant stone?
"Could there be jade inside? I've seen some stones that look unremarkable on the surface, but good things can be cut out from them!"
Chen Yunfeng watched for a long time and couldn't help but ask a question.
Su Tong glanced at him and thought: It's definitely not jadeite, but this kid's family background is not ordinary! In this day and age, those who have seen jadeite raw stones are not ordinary families.
"No! Jade is not worthy of Zhan Peng's attention. It's not worth his time!"
Qin Yi denied it directly, and then said: "Didn't they carry a box in? Put the stone directly in it. Be careful not to touch it directly."
Since Zhan Peng made these preparations in advance, it proves that he has known about this stone for a long time. It also proves that this stone may cause some harm to people, so it is better to be careful.
After Lin Li and Zhao Xin carefully moved the stones into the box, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Although I don't know what this is, bringing it back will mean my mission is successfully completed.
"who?!"
Just as they closed the box, they heard Rao Jiancheng, who was in charge of guarding the prisoners on the stairs, yell and chase towards a narrow passage on the right.
Anyone else?
Qin Yi gave Chen Yunfeng a look, and the two of them drew their guns and chased after him.
However, before the two of them could run into the passage, they saw Rao Jiancheng coming back dragging someone with one hand.
Yes, one-handed.
Rao Jiancheng's left hand was injured. He only used his right hand to drag a thin boy, who was still crying:
"Have mercy! Big brother! Have mercy! I still have a mission! I have something to say..."
The boy was still crying until Rao Jiancheng dragged the man to the middle of the square and threw him next to the fire.
"Yellow hair?"
Su Tong immediately recognized this person. It was the yellow-haired man he had met before. He should be Meng Chengfeng's subordinate.
Huang Mao saw Su Tong and immediately shouted:
"Big sister! It's me, Big sister! You, you have seen me, I am a good person! No, no, I am not a good person! No! Nor... Don't, don't kill me! I have a mission!"
"Shut up!"
Qin Yi shouted coldly, and the yellow-haired man was so scared that he immediately fell silent, but his body was still twitching, which looked a bit funny.
"Let's talk! What's your mission?"
The yellow-haired man shuddered with fear, glanced at Qin Yi's cold face, and immediately got up. He rubbed his face with his hands a few times, then looked to the upper left and began to recite in a serious manner:
"In February 1975, in Tong County, Hebei Province, a gangster Qian Erbao was accidentally killed while trying to save a woman who was being forced to flee.
From June to August 1975, in Chang County, Jiangxi Province, he robbed passing trucks six times, and the total payment for the goods was more than 5,000 yuan.
In February 1976, in Ma County, Hubei Province, a passing driver was killed because he hit someone and fled.
Since February 1976, I have robbed and robbed passing drivers many times. I can’t remember the amount of money…”
Qin Yi looked serious and asked, "Did Meng Chengfeng ask you to say this?"
Huang Mao glanced at Qin Yi and said, "One more time, that's all, it's very important!"
He cleared his throat and continued, "In August 1976, a soldier was robbed. Originally, they only wanted his gun, but he resisted and was accidentally killed by Wu Jiafu. The gun was later stolen by Wu Jiafu."
After Huangmao finished reciting, he looked around, but the people around him just stared at him in silence.
He was so frightened that he fell to his knees and began to cry again:
"This is the mission the boss left for me! I was afraid of reciting it wrong, so I recited it for a long time. He told me to survive and recite it to you!"
After a moment, Qin Yi continued to ask: "Why did he ask you to recite it to us?"
"He said that he had committed a crime that was unforgivable, unforgivable, unforgivable..." The yellow-haired man began to scratch his head.
“Unforgivable!”
"Yes! Yes! He said that he committed an unforgivable crime and he wanted to turn himself in. He was afraid that he would not have the chance, so he asked me to recite it to you. He said that he was wrong! But his father was not wrong! He hopes that you can find out the truth... and clear his father's name!"
There was silence again.
Then, Qin Yi asked: "Are you done?"
"One more sentence?" The yellow-haired man stretched out a finger, an embarrassed expression appearing on his face.
"explain!"
"Boss, let me tell you, I, I, I..."
"What do you mean, just be straightforward..."
"I'm a thief--" Huangmao shouted out immediately in fear.
"What?"
"The boss asked me to tell you, I, I'm a thief!"
After Huangmao finished speaking, he lowered his head in embarrassment.
Everyone was a little confused. What was this operation? Asking his subordinates to surrender on his behalf and then finding a way out for his younger brother?
"Anything else?" This time it was Su Tong who asked.
"No, no more." The yellow-haired man shook his head.
"What did your boss say exactly?" Su Tong asked.
Huang Mao looked up at Su Tong, scratched his head and said:
"The boss told me to tell you exactly what he said. I am a thief, and a very good thief! The last part... I didn't have the nerve to say it just now..."
"So, you should be good at unlocking locks?" Su Tong asked.
"unlock?"
Huang Mao was stunned for a moment, then said: "I can pick locks since I was three years old. No lock can be difficult for me!"
"Brother Yi——"
Su Tong called out to Qin Yi.
Qin Yi also understood Meng Chengfeng's intention at this time.
He expressed his determination to die with Zhan Peng, asked his younger brother to surrender on his behalf, and helped them solve the problem of the copper locks on the mountain gate, just to clear his father's name.
Those copper locks are extremely strong. Now several leaders are dead or injured, and the keys may not be hidden on them. I am afraid they cannot be found all. Having a yellow-haired guy who can pick locks will save a lot of effort.
This yellow-haired man looked to be only fifteen or sixteen years old at most. He must have been hiding somewhere at first, so he was not hit by stray bullets. Meng Chengfeng kept him here on purpose, and also wanted to find a way out for him.
"Brother Yi!" Su Tong said, "I never had the chance to tell you that when I came in, I took a shortcut with Wen Ying and Zhang Huaian..."
Su Tong told Qin Yi the route they took when they came in, and then said:
"The soldiers of the Gale Company are guarding outside the stone gate. I can go through the passage with Huangmao and let them in through the stone gate."
Qin Yi has nearly ten captured gangsters on his side, and he also has to escort Lin Jiao, who is in poor health, and the stone that he just found.
Now that the ancient tomb has been discovered, the cultural relics inside will need to be further explored and studied by relevant experts in the future, and certain protective measures need to be taken before that.
It would take them two days to get out on foot. The current manpower is far from enough to carry out the escort and transportation tasks, as well as the care of the ancient tomb.
It would be great if the comrades from the Gale Company could come in to support us.
