Chapter 236 The Gate of Life and the Gate of Death!
The old man's words immediately made the other three men wilted.
The old man, nicknamed Old Toad, is the leader of the tomb robbers. Everyone follows him for a living and dares not disobey him.
Moreover, in addition to having sufficient experience in tomb robbing, the old man is also very powerful in fighting skills.
"They all look like they've never seen the world. Don't be too happy too soon. We won't really make a profit until the transaction is over." The old toad took a deep puff of his pipe.
"The old man is right, brothers, hurry up and do it."
The other three men handed the golden jade suit to the old toad, then picked up tools like engineer shovels and continued digging.
The old toad looked at the golden jade clothes with reluctance, his eyes sparkling with brilliance.
After a long while, he put it into his backpack.
Then, he slowly raised his head and looked at the three men who were digging. "Everyone, work hard. The delivery time is less than eight hours. If no more treasures are unearthed in two hours, we will evacuate here immediately and contact Xiongzi to prepare for delivery."
“Remember!”
The three men worked very hard.
Because apart from being strong, they only have a basic understanding of tomb robbing techniques.
"very good!"
The old toad took a sip of his pipe and nodded with satisfaction, but his eyes began to fill with bloodshot, and it was obvious that he had murderous intent.
…
At the same time.
Ye Mu and Niu Yaoyao have already driven to the foot of Wolong Mountain.
Niu Yaoyao immediately started contacting her colleagues, while Ye Mu was walking around nearby.
"Ye Mu, our people have arrived at the Grand Canyon and discovered the gang that was robbing tombs." Niu Yaoyao was obviously very happy.
But Ye Mu ignored her and looked at the lush green mountains, as if he was thinking about something.
"Ye Mu, did you hear me?" Niu Yaoyao didn't understand and had to walk towards Ye Mu.
"Well, go ahead."
After a brief pause, Ye Mu finally turned around and responded.
"I said, my colleagues have found the place where the tomb robbers committed the crime and can arrest them at any time." Niu Yaoyao repeated.
"Can't catch him." Ye Mu shook his head.
"I know we can't catch them, and we have to rely on tomb robbers to catch the smugglers, so we have to lurk and follow them quietly until they make a deal, and then catch them red-handed at once." Niu Yaoyao said seriously.
"right."
Ye Mu smiled and pointed at the general outline of the mountain. "On our way here, we spotted the overall outline of the mountain from afar. Now, after my confirmation, the place where they deliver the goods should be in the southwest."
As he spoke, he pointed to the southwest corner of Wolong Mountain, where there was a pine and cypress forest, and below the forest was a river about ten meters wide.
"Impossible. It's surrounded by mountains on three sides and water on one side. Even if the thief is stupid, he won't choose that place to deliver the goods." Niu Yaoyao rejected Ye Mu's guess at the first time.
"What do you think?" Ye Mu did not refute for the time being.
"Based on my experience, the place where the two sides will hand over will be chosen in a location with at least three retreat routes." Niu Yaoyao turned sideways and pointed to the southeast direction of Wolong Mountain.
"There is a highway entrance, two asphalt roads, and two country dirt roads. It does look like a place with a retreat." On the way here, Ye Mu made a simple assessment of the surrounding environment.
"It seems that you are a very careful person." Niu Yaoyao smiled.
"But I don't think what you said is right. Therefore, I strongly suggest that we deploy personnel to the southwest corner." Ye Mu said firmly, "I have some knowledge of the I Ching. Today's Bagua Shengmen is the southwest corner."
"You mean, tomb robbers also understand the I Ching and Bagua?" Niu Yaoyao disagreed.
"According to the analysis of the tomb robbers' data you just gave me, they have made at least eight attempts to steal goods, and you have failed time and again. This is enough to prove that there are tomb robbers who have mastered the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams." Ye Mu said confidently.
"But tomb robbers are not stupid. Haven't they thought that there are people in our police force who understand the I Ching and Bagua?" Niu Yaoyao asked back.
"Of course, they must have thought about it."
Ye Mu shrugged, "So I just made a strong suggestion. The final decision on where to deploy your personnel is still up to you."
He admitted that Niu Yaoyao's question was indeed possible.
"It's better to believe it than not. I've decided to divide our team into two groups and deploy personnel separately." Niu Yaoyao didn't dare to take Ye Mu's suggestion lightly, and hurriedly called the Maoxian Police Station to seek help.
Coincidentally, the Maoxian Police Station had already received instructions from their superiors and had assembled and was heading towards Wolong Mountain.
Based on Niu Yaoyao's clues, the Maoxian police decided to deploy in the southeast direction. In this way, Niu Yaoyao's side could only deploy in the southwest.
at the same time.
In the tomb-robbing cave at the bottom of the Wolong Mountain Grand Canyon.
"That's it, no more digging."
At this time, the tomb robber leader Old Toad gave an order, and the three men who were digging stopped one after another.
"Eat something, and then we'll move in batches."
The old toad distributed the food he had prepared long ago to everyone, including the two people who were taking a walk outside the cave.
Soon, the old toad displayed the treasures he had obtained one by one. "Do you have any suggestions for concealing our activities?"
"Just follow the old man's orders."
"Yes, yes, yes, it's no harm to follow the old man's arrangements."
Everyone exchanged greetings and smiled, and when their eyes fell on the treasures on the ground, the look of surprise grew stronger.
Everyone became more excited when they thought that there would be at least eight million people.
"In that case, for safety reasons, we will work in groups of two to bring the goods to the destination in batches."
The old toad took out a hand-drawn map and said, "This is where we'll deliver the goods. We just need to hide in the dark. There are many roads leading to it. Even if the police get wind of it, we have a way to retreat."
The old toad pointed at the hand-drawn map for about ten minutes and then asked, "Do you understand everything?"
"clear."
Everyone nodded in unison.
"very good."
The old toad smiled and nodded, "Then, the two of you take these three items and make sure there are no collisions, otherwise nearly two million worth of treasures will be lost."
The two men took the items and put them into their backpacks, nodding their heads.
"Go ahead, you two follow the first route I told you, and remember to leave our special mark on the roadside." The old toad said seriously.
"Then let's go first."
The two of them took a hand-drawn map, pushed aside the grass and crawled out of the cave.
"Next, these four items will be given to you two brothers. If you follow the second route, you will eventually reach your destination." The old toad only kept one piece of golden jade clothing and distributed the rest of the items.
In the end, he and the youngest man were the only ones left in the cave.
"Grandpa, let's go too." The young man had a problem with his left foot and walked with a limp.
"No rush."
The old toad smiled and gestured for the lame man to sit down. "We'll set off again in an hour, after the two groups have reached their respective destinations."
"Grandpa was worried that the police outside would ambush us, so he deliberately split the four of them into two groups. This way, the two of us will be safe enough." The lame man nodded with a smile.
"My grandson is smart, that's right."
The old toad looked at the lame man with great satisfaction.
The lame man was a child he picked up more than 20 years ago. Apart from the regret of having a lame leg, he was very smart, which was why he valued him so much.
Of course, for safety reasons, he could only reluctantly place those small items on his other four companions, so that in case of an ambush by police, he could still escape with his life.
As the saying goes, if you don't care about yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. He doesn't care about the life and death of his four companions at all.
at the same time.
On the outskirts of the Grand Canyon, a police team of twelve clearly saw four tomb robbers coming out of a cave.
They just sneered and did not go to pursue.
Because Niu Yaoyao had previously informed them that colleagues from the Maoxian Police Station were stationed in the southeast direction, they only needed to keep a close eye on the tomb robbers heading southwest.
Now, there are only the last two tomb robbers left, and judging from the portraits of the four tomb robbers who left earlier, one of the two who has not appeared yet is the leader of the tomb robbers.
They must continue to lurk and try to catch the big fish!
