Qin Qingman wanted to know what was going on under the pool, so she asked Zhao Feipeng, "Zhao Feipeng, can you tell me what was going on under the pool? How did you help Zhao Cai hide the gold?"
She still remembered that Zhao Zhengye had said before that the bottom of the pool was a straight up and down hole, so how deep was the bottom of the pool? Was the gold scattered inside, or was it packed in a box?
Qin Qingman even suspected that even if the gold was stored in a box, the box would have been corroded by the lake water over the years.
“I don’t know exactly how deep it is.”
Zhao Feipeng must have not communicated with anyone properly for a long time. He spoke very slowly, even thinking as he spoke, "The gold is not hidden at the bottom of the pool. There is a space that slopes upward a few meters into the cave. The space is here."
Zhao Feipeng pointed towards the cliff.
Qin Qingman immediately understood the geological structure under the lake. "Is there no water where the gold is placed?"
"Yes, not only is there no water, but there is also air. When the weather is warm, I go up the mountain and stay in the cave at night. Anyway, the fog has no effect on me. There is no fog in the cave, and it is still dry."
Zhao Feipeng then went on to talk about the situation in the pond.
As soon as everyone heard what Zhao Feipeng said, they understood what was going on.
"Zhao Feipeng, how did Zhao Cai know the situation in the pond?" Qin Qingman was a little curious about how Zhao Cai thought of hiding the gold in the pond. You know, Zhao Feipeng's brain is not very good and he may fail to command at any time.
"Zhao is a bad person."
When Zhao Feipeng heard Zhao Cai's name, an angry expression appeared on his face.
"Yes, Zhao Cai is very bad. Don't worry, we have caught him and he will never do bad things again." Qin Qingman comforted Zhao Feipeng. She could feel that Zhao Feipeng had a deep resentment towards Zhao Cai.
"He...he took advantage of my poor brain to deceive me."
Zhao Feipeng's breathing became rapid and his face turned a little red.
Everyone became even more curious. Zhao Zhengye couldn't help but patted Zhao Feipeng on the shoulder and asked, "How did Zhao Cai lie to you?" Zhao Feipeng is in his thirties this year. To make him hate Zhao Cai for so many years, Zhao Cai must have done something that deeply stimulated Zhao Feipeng.
"He lied to me and said he was my dad!"
Zhao Feipeng clenched his fists. If he hadn't been carrying Zhao Zhen on his shoulders, he would have probably punched the ground a few more times.
Everyone was stunned. They didn't expect that Zhao Cai had the habit of being a father.
Qin Qingman didn't think so. She knew how Zhao Cai had made Zhao Feipeng willingly help hide the gold, so she asked, "Did you tell him about the situation at the bottom of the pond?"
"Um."
Zhao Feipeng nodded a little embarrassedly.
He explained: "I was sick at the time and really thought he was my father, so I told Zhao Cai the secret at the bottom of the pond." Because of his special situation, Zhao Feipeng often stayed by the pond. Of course, he was curious and went down to explore when the water level receded, and he discovered the special space in the pond.
It is estimated that he regarded that special space as his secret base. When facing his relatives, he did not hide it but chose to share it.
This is the real reason why Zhao Cai became greedy.
While Qin Qingman and the others were thinking deeply, Zhao Feipeng continued, "Zhao Cai deceived me. When I was clear-headed, I knew I was deceived. Later, he asked me to take the gold, but I didn't let him take it."
Qin Qingman was startled and asked, "When did Zhao Cai let you take the gold?"
She had always thought that Zhao Cai did not take the gold because the timing was not right. Now after hearing what Zhao Feipeng said, she realized that this was definitely not the case.
It’s not that Zhao Cai didn’t want to take out the gold, but that he simply couldn’t take it out.
Zhao Cai deceived Zhao Feipeng, and Zhao Feipeng also schemed against Zhao Cai, which is why the two sides have maintained a balance for so many years.
This made Qin Qingman think of more things.
For example, Zhao Feipeng’s home.
Zhao Feipeng's home is a very good building both in the village and in the brigade. It is impossible for such a home to be preserved in such a special era just because Zhao Feipeng's parents saved many people.
It is impossible for Zhao Cai not to covet Zhao Feipeng's home.
Qin Qingman had been to Zhao Feipeng's home and knew the situation there.
Zhao Feipeng's house is top-notch in this area in terms of both layout and building materials. According to policy, such houses should be allocated, but Zhao Feipeng's house is still Zhao Feipeng's house.
A mentally ill person saved such a big family.
This is not Zhao Cai showing mercy, it is clearly the result of the game between the two parties.
Qin Qingman could think of these things, and experienced people like Yuan Xiangyang and Fang Lu had figured out the key points. Everyone would be looking at Zhao Feipeng in amazement and even wanted to laugh.
Zhao Cai has capsized in a ditch.
What do you mean by coming to see Zhao Laosi frequently every year? Bullshit. It is obvious that Zhao Cai is frustrated because he wants to withdraw the gold but cannot, and he is unwilling to give up and has to go to Tuanjie Village many times every year.
"Every time Zhao Cai came back to the village, I would go up the mountain in advance, and he would never be able to find me."
When Zhao Feipeng said this, his expression was filled with pure pride.
At the same time, he also answered Qin Qingman's question, "The second year after the gold was hidden, Zhao Cai came to me to get it. I didn't let him take it, so he beat me and hung me up to beat me. I would never let him take it. Since that year, I have been clear-headed less and less often. But no matter how much Zhao Cai lied to me, I didn't believe him subconsciously and didn't let him take the gold."
"Comrade Zhao Feipeng, thank you, thank you for protecting national property."
Qin Qingman is really grateful to Zhao Feipeng.
The fact that Zhao Cai asked Zhao Feipeng to take the gold in the second year after he hid it shows that the gold had a new hiding place, or a destination.
Qin Qingman thought of this and glanced at Yuan Xiangyang.
Yuan Xiangyang's expression at this time was also very serious. He nodded slightly to Qin Qingman. Both of them had experienced the incident of enemy spies entering the country before and knew the crisis under stability.
Zhao Cai might be a hidden person who was instigated by enemy spies.
Otherwise, how could he have hidden so much gold? Didn’t he know the danger of being exposed?
Absolutely know.
That's why Zhao Cai dared to steal the gold because he had a way out.
Fang Lu and other public security officers were also shocked by Zhao Feipeng's words. Their many years of public security career made them extremely sensitive, and they all looked at Yuan Xiangyang.
Yuan Xiangyang is a soldier from the XXX Division, and his job is to defend the border.
Yuan Xiangyang did not say anything, but nodded slightly to Fang Lu and other public security personnel, meaning that he knew what was going on.
Fang Lu and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhao Feipeng, come on, let's go back to the tent and have something to eat. We'll get the gold when it gets dark and the water level subsides." Qin Qingman had already figured out the whole story by now. She called Zhao Feipeng and walked towards the tent.
The temperature in the mountains at this time is several degrees lower than that in the village. In such freezing weather, warming yourself by the fire is of course more suitable.
"Can I...can I come in?"
In response to Qin Qingman's invitation, Zhao Feipeng looked towards the tent with excitement and nervousness.
It was rare for him to be sober, and it was rare for him to be treated as a normal person.
Although Zhao Feipeng had little life experience, because of his pure heart, he could feel that no one present had any ill will towards him, not even the wolf cub.
Not only that, he felt that other people looked at him with pity, except Qin Qingman, who looked at him with a normal look.
He likes this kind of look.
"Zhao Feipeng, all people in the world are comrades. You are our comrade, so of course you can enter the tent." Qin Qingman extended her hand to Zhao Feipeng in recognition.
"Thank you." Zhao Feipeng first put Zhao Zhen down from his shoulder, then wiped his hands on his body before daring to hold Qin Qingman's hand.
It was cold, so Qin Qingman wore gloves, but Zhao Feipeng did not.
But the handshake between the two was very formal and solemn, and everyone witnessed its sincerity.
"Come on, Comrade Zhao Feipeng, let's go back to the tent. It's getting late and we're all hungry. Let's eat something hot to fill our stomachs." Yuan Xiangyang waited for Qin Qingman to shake hands with Zhao Feipeng before he took the initiative to pull Zhao Feipeng towards the tent.
At the same time, he was chatting with Zhao Feipeng about daily life.
Originally, Zhao Feipeng was very nervous when Yuan Xiangyang was pulling him away, and all the muscles in his body were tense. But as Yuan Xiangyang talked to him about some ordinary family matters, he suddenly became less nervous.
The body is not that tense.
Qin Qingman and her group also followed them back to the tent.
After entering the tent, Zhao Feipeng chose to sit close to Qin Qingman. It cannot be said that he was close to Qin Qingman, but actually he was close to the wolf cub, mainly because the wolf cub stuck to Qin Qingman.
"Fei Peng, do you still remember the prescription from that year?"
After everyone sat around the campfire, Qin Qingman asked Zhao Feipeng that she planned to look at the recipe first before treating Zhao Feipeng's brain.
“I don’t remember.”
Zhao Feipeng shook his head. "I was young at that time. After my parents passed away, I had a fever for a few days because of sadness. Then I forgot a lot of things and couldn't remember the prescription. I didn't want to die, so I went up the mountain to find fish to eat. At that time, I thought that at worst, I could die to accompany my parents."
"You silly boy."
Zhao Zhengye burst into tears after hearing this.
"Zhao Feipeng is a fool with good fortune. His future will be better." Qin Qingman comforted Zhao Zhengye and Zhao Feipeng.
"Yes, yes, fools have good fortune." Zhao Zhengye nodded repeatedly.
Zhao Feipeng was not unhappy because he was called stupid. Instead, he showed a happy and innocent smile.
Fang Lu had already sent people back to the village. When Qin Qingman and the others were communicating with Zhao Feipeng by the pond, the people who had returned to the village had already returned. When Qin Qingman and the others returned to the tent, the tent was already filled with the strong aroma of food.
The police team returning to the village was led by Xiao Fan.
When Xiao Fan and his friends returned to the village, many people in the village had woken up from their naps.
Even though they didn't sleep the whole night, they didn't need to make up for the whole day's sleep. After sleeping for a few hours, they all woke up at lunch time. When they woke up, they found out that Qin Qingman and the others had gone up the mountain.
The villagers were very sorry that they could not help Qin Qingman and his group.
Just when everyone was having dinner, Xiao Fan brought the police back to the village. When the villagers saw Xiao Fan, they greeted him warmly. When they found out that Xiao Fan and his friends had come back to get pots, bowls, pans, and utensils, every household gave them a lot of good things.
Xiao Fan didn't dare to accept it.
But he accepted the eggs given by everyone, not for free, but in exchange for food coupons.
Yesterday, not only the villagers did not get a good rest, but Qin Qingman and all the others did not get a good rest. Xiao Fan took the initiative to collect some eggs from the villagers for everyone to replenish their bodies.
When Qin Qingman and the others returned to the tent, two hot boiled eggs were stuffed into each of them's hands.
It was just cooked by Xiao Fan and his people.
"Uncle Feipeng, eat eggs, they are delicious." Seeing that Zhao Feipeng was a little at a loss with two eggs, Zhao Zhen simply stuffed his two eggs into his pocket, then took an egg from Zhao Feipeng's hand and began to peel it.
After peeling it, he stuffed it into Zhao Feipeng's mouth.
Zhao Feipeng started to cry while eating. He hadn't had hot eggs for many years.
He thought of his parents, about whom he had long forgotten.
Although his face was blurry, he still remembered the hot eggs his parents cooked for him. He remembered the temperature, which was the same as the one in his hand now.
Everyone saw Zhao Feipeng's tears, but no one said anything and no one comforted him.
Silence is actually a respect for Zhao Feipeng.
Zhao Zhen also saw the tears streaming down Zhao Feipeng's face. After thinking for a while, he stretched out his sleeve to wipe them for Zhao Feipeng, and then peeled his eggs to eat.
Since we are eating in the wild, we are not that particular.
The hard steamed buns were skewered with branches and roasted over the fire, and vegetable soup was cooking in the pot. Although it was simple and there was no meat, it was a perfect warm meal to eat in the cold wilderness.
Everyone cherishes the food in their hands.
After dinner, the sun was already setting, but it would still be about two hours before dark. With the coming of spring, the daytime hours are gradually getting longer. It used to be dark before four in the afternoon, but now it is not until after five.
Qin Qingman and the others will have to wait for a few hours to get the gold back.
As he finished his food, Zhao Feipeng became familiar with everyone and answered many questions even if Qin Qingman didn't ask him.
Yuan Xiangyang had already led everyone to whisper.
They were talking about the situation under the pond. Yuan Xiangyang was holding a notebook with many drawings on it, which were the drawings of the cave where Yuan Xiangyang hid the gold under the pond.
Qin Qingman knew that everything related to the case had to be filed, so she didn't bother them. Instead, she rubbed the wolf cub's belly.
There is no minced meat for the wolf cubs to eat on the mountain.
The wolf cub went into the water to catch fish on his own.
After eating and drinking enough, it even knew to wash itself clean with snow before coming to find Qin Qingman. It was sleepy and wanted to sleep. Normally, when it was at home, it would take a nap with Chuchu.
Qin Qingman hadn't napped for long before, so she just dozed off next to Chuchu, rubbing the wolf cub's belly from time to time with her hands.
Maybe it was the first time for the wolf cub to eat fish and he didn't control the amount, or maybe the fish in the pond was particularly delicious. Anyway, when Qin Qingman rubbed the wolf cub's belly, the little guy's belly was very round.
Time passed little by little, and night finally fell amid the orange bonfire.
After dark, this area was especially quiet. The branches on the surrounding trees were baring their teeth and claws, and there was Zhao Laosi's grave on the cliff. A timid person would probably be scared to tears. Fortunately, everyone present was a brave person.
There was no change in anyone's expression.
Even the two children, Chuchu and Zhao Zhen, had calm expressions.
Everyone was standing by the pond at this time. There were bright torches stuck on the ground nearby. With the lighting of many torches, everyone could see the entire pond clearly. As for flashlights, they were reluctant to use them.
The light of a flashlight is brighter than a torch, so save it for critical moments.
At this time, Zhao Feipeng was fully prepared, carrying a backpack on his back. Although the gold was heavy, it was small in size. With this backpack, it would probably only take a few times to transport all the gold out.
"Fei Peng, do you remember how to use the flashlight?"
Yuan Xiangyang asked Zhao Feipeng worriedly.
It was dark, and they would need light to see clearly in the cave. He prepared a flashlight for Zhao Feipeng, but he didn't know whether Zhao Feipeng, who had never used a flashlight before, remembered the correct way to use it.
“I’ll remember that.”
Zhao Feipeng didn't think Yuan Xiangyang was asking too many questions because he knew the importance of gold.
"Feipeng, don't be in a hurry after you go down, take your time." Yuan Xiangyang had talked a lot with Zhao Feipeng before, and knew that the water in the pond would recede for two hours, and the water would fill the pond again after two hours.
"Um."
Zhao Feipeng nodded in a low voice.
"Blah...Blah..." At this moment, the water in the pond began to gently hit the shore without wind. As the blaring sounds rang out, people could also vaguely hear the gurgling sounds.
It sounds like a frog jumping into the water.
"All of you move back. Soon there will be white mist, which will cover the entire pool and you won't be able to breathe." Zhao Feipeng's expression immediately became serious when he heard the voice, and he also reminded Qin Qingman and the others.
"Fei Peng, be careful. Come back quickly if anything happens."
Fang Lu also reminded Zhao Feipeng.
"Yeah." Zhao Feipeng looked at everyone present in the light of the torch, and his gaze finally fell on Qin Qingman's face, and then he smiled happily.
Ugly and cute.
Qin Qingman knew that Zhao Feipeng was fond of her because of the wolf cub, so she waved to Zhao Feipeng.
I have already given you this reminder before, so there is no need to repeat it here.
"Everyone listen to my orders and retreat." Yuan Xiangyang patted Zhao Feipeng on the shoulder and gave the order.
White mist is no joke, and you can never be too careful.
Following Yuan Xiangyang's order, everyone except Zhao Feipeng began to retreat. Finally, they retreated to the tent under the cliff. This location was absolutely safe, but because of the darkness and distance, Zhao Feipeng's figure was a little blurry.
"Sister, Dudu stayed."
Chuchu suddenly put her hand into Qin Qingman's palm.
"Well, Dudu is not afraid of the white fog. Maybe if it stays, it can help Zhao Feipeng." Qin Qingman knew that the wolf cub stayed.
"Um."
Chuchu nodded, her big eyes fixed on the direction of the pond.
The wolf cub was originally dark in color. Although there were many torches lit by the pond, the wolf cub was not big, just a small black ball. If it hid a little in the shadow, it would not be easily discovered.
Chuchu was worried that one day if she walked in a particularly dark place, she would not be able to see the wolf cub.
“Gulp, gulp—”
The sound coming from the direction of the pond began to change. Everyone knew that the water should be receding rapidly, and it would not be long before Zhao Feipeng could actually get into the pond.
Sure enough, as everyone was eagerly waiting, five minutes later, the first thing to disappear was the wolf cub, followed by Zhao Feipeng.
As soon as Zhao Feipeng disappeared, everyone became worried. This batch of gold had been hidden underwater for many years, and no one knew what the specific situation was, or whether there were any other large animals underwater.
"I've asked Zhao Feipeng before, but because of his memory problems, he's not really sure whether the gold was lost. After all, gold can't be eaten, and he wasn't interested in it at all when his brain wasn't working well." Fang Lu's voice suddenly rang out in the darkness.
"There is no water where Zhao Feipeng hid the gold. Even if there are some large animals in the water, it is unlikely to affect the gold. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Yuan Xiangyang had previously questioned Zhao Feipeng in detail and even drew the cave space where the gold was hidden, so he had a good understanding of the gold's safety.
"I hope so."
Fang Luke was not so optimistic. Before he got the gold back completely, he would imagine all possible situations in his mind.
"No need to argue, Zhao Feipeng will probably be back soon."
Qin Qingman listened to the conversation between Fang Lu and Yuan Xiangyang and gave some advice.
Fang Lu and Yuan Xiangyang immediately stopped talking and looked at the pool. Zhao Feipeng had been down there for a few minutes. In just a short while, under the light of the torch, everyone could clearly see that a faint white mist was spreading one meter above the pool.
It's very similar to the morning mist before the sun rises.
But this mist is different from the morning mist, it is poisonous.
"The poisonous fog is rising. Everyone, pay attention to the wind direction. If you feel the wind, run up the cliff quickly." When Yuan Xiangyang said this, he looked at Qin Qingman and her brother and Zhao Zhengye's ancestors with concern.
The four should have gone to a safer area and waited, but they all wanted to stay at the first scene.
"Xiangyang, it's okay. Zhao Feipeng said that the mist on the pond will not dissipate, whether there is wind or not. It is absolutely safe for us to stand here." Qin Qingman understood Yuan Xiangyang's concerns.
"Um."
Yuan Xiangyang nodded helplessly, and then focused his attention back on the pool.
Time passed minute by minute, and half an hour later, Zhao Feipeng did not come back.
Now, except for Qin Qingman, both the public security represented by Fang Lu and the soldiers of the xxx division represented by Yuan Xiangyang were a little anxious. According to what Zhao Feipeng said before, a round trip would only take about twenty minutes.
But Zhao Feipeng hasn't come back for more than half an hour. Could something really have happened down there?
"Wait, don't be anxious."
Qin Qingman could sense that everyone's emotions were becoming agitated, which was not a good sign, so she spoke out to remind everyone.
"call--"
Hearing Qin Qingman's calm and clear voice, everyone exhaled the air in their chests and remained calm.
"report--"
At this moment, a report came from behind, and at the same time, a soldier on duty outside also ran over quickly.
"Speak."
Yuan Xiangyang looked at each other.
"Reporting to the regiment commander, a provincial leader has arrived. He is from the Provincial Public Security Department, and his name is Chen Shanhe. We have checked his credentials, and they are genuine." The soldier directly reported the arrival of the leader.
"I reported Zhao Cai's concealment of gold to the provincial government, and the provincial government also said they would send a leader. It seems to be Comrade Chen Shanhe. I have seen him from a distance in the provincial government." Fang Lu then remembered that he had reported the matter to his superiors without authorization.
"Should we invite Comrade Chen Shanhe over here?"
Yuan Xiangyang and Fang Lu looked at each other and then at Qin Qingman at the same time.
Qin Qingman had been in command from yesterday to today, and the two felt that it was necessary for Qin Qingman to go with them to welcome the leaders from the provincial department.
Although Qin Qingman was only a small commune cadre, she was not shy about meeting the leaders. The leaders of this era were more simple and easy to get along with than those in later generations. She touched Chuchu's face, told Chuchu to stay where she was and not run around, and then went with Yuan Xiangyang and the others to pick up people.
The sentry post on the outer perimeter was set a little far away, and Qin Qingman and her companions walked for several minutes before they met the provincial department leaders who were waiting.
Qin Qingman and her group held torches, while the people from the provincial government held flashlights, and as the light got closer, the two sides merged together.
"Hello everyone, I am Chen Shanhe, the deputy director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau."
Chen Shanhe was the first to extend his hand, and his hand was directed towards Qin Qingman.
Chen Shanhe did not just arrive. Instead, as soon as Xiao Fan went up the mountain, he brought people to Tuanjie Village to gather information from the people who stayed behind and learned all the information.
After understanding the situation, Chen Shanhe not only knew what kind of danger Tuanjie Village had experienced last night, but also knew about Qin Qingman's achievements, so he extended his hand to Qin Qingman the first time he saw her.
People who have made contributions should be respected.
Qin Qingman is the only woman in the team. Even if Chen Shanhe doesn't know Qin Qingman, he can still recognize her based on her gender characteristics.
"Hello, Comrade Chen, I am Qin Qingman."
Qin Qingman introduced herself to Chen Shanhe.
"Comrade Qin, I know you. You are very good and your personal abilities are outstanding. Thank you for taking on the task in times of crisis, which allowed the people to be safely evacuated and return home. Thank you." As a leader, Chen Shanhe must affirm Qin Qingman's efforts and achievements.
"Comrade Shanhe, I am a commune worker and must consider the interests of the masses. These are what we should do and are not worthy of your praise. Comrade Yuan Xiangyang and Comrade Fang Lu are the ones who have worked really hard because they are facing danger head-on."
Qin Qingman followed the local customs and spoke the most popular words at the time.
If these words were spoken in the officialdom of later generations, they might sound empty and pretentious, but in this era, this way of speaking is the most down-to-earth way.
This is also the original intention of countless leaders to serve the people.
"Comrade Qin, I will never forget the contributions of all my comrades. You are all good comrades of the Party and good public servants of the people." After saying this, Chen Shanhe saluted Yuan Xiangyang and Fang Lu respectively.
Fang Lu and Yuan Xiangyang quickly returned the gift.
Chen Shanhe is the leader of the provincial department and his rank is much higher than theirs.
"Comrade Qin, tell me, what is the current situation on the scene? Can the gold be taken?" Chen Shanhe had learned about it in advance, so he knew a lot.
"Comrade Shanhe, our people have already gone down to the pond to get the gold."
Qin Qingman said this and gestured to Fang Lu.
Fang Lu took out the ID bag from his pocket and showed Chen Shanhe the gold found by the wolf cub and the gold he received from Zhao Cai.
At the same time, explain the origin of the two pieces of gold.
Chen Shanhe breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that a source of gold had been found in the mountains.
After receiving the report from the Baicheng County Public Security Bureau, he immediately reported it to all provincial and ministerial leaders. Different departments held a joint meeting, and then he was personally sent to Tuanjie Village to supervise.
Half a ton of gold is a significant amount.
The more gold a country reserves, the stronger its national strength will be, and it also represents the monetary strength of our country in the international arena.
The province attached great importance to this matter, so Chen Shanhe rushed to Tuanjie Village overnight.
It is not close from the province to Tuanjie Village. Due to the road conditions, Chen Shanhe took almost a whole day to reach Tuanjie Village.
After arriving at Tuanjie Village, we immediately headed up the mountain.
After meeting Qin Qingman and others and getting the exact information about Huang Jin, he finally felt relieved.
"Comrade Shanhe, let's talk as we walk. Watch your steps..." Qin Qingman led Chen Shanhe towards the pool of water. Following them were Yuan Xiangyang and Fang Lu, as well as several experienced comrades from the Provincial Public Security Department brought by Chen Shanhe.
It was dark and there was snow on the ground, making it difficult to walk. Qin Qingman explained the situation on the mountain to the others as they slowly walked back to the tent.
After listening to Qin Qingman's story, Chen Shanhe and several other people from the provincial government realized how difficult it was to take out the gold.
I also guessed that there might be something behind Zhao Cai.
"After the gold is retrieved, the provincial government will assist you in thoroughly investigating Zhao Cai. Anyone who dares to obstruct will have his hands chopped off by the provincial government. Don't worry, the gold incident has been reported to the central government. Anyone involved will be arrested and there will be no leniency."
Chen Shanhe's expression at this moment was very serious and his tone was overbearing.
He kept people to assist the county in handling cases not to grab credit, but to protect the county's case handling and scare certain people hiding in the dark.
This time, they will definitely clean out a group of people.
Moreover, the Provincial Department also believed that at this time, those guys in the Revolutionary Committee from top to bottom would not dare to go back on their words. Otherwise, if they were implicated in such a big case, they might be bankrupted, not to mention killed.
Whether it is a big gold case or a big explosives case, any one of these cases is a shocking case.
Qin Qingman and others had been paying attention to Chen Shanhe's attitude. After hearing Chen Shanhe's statement, they understood the province's attitude and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Report, Zhao Feipeng hasn't come back yet. Is he..."
When the people who stayed behind in the tent saw Qin Qingman and the others coming back, they hurried over to report. Although they managed to remain calm at this time, countless suspicions were already rising in their hearts.
Some people even worried that there was another way out at the bottom of the pool.
Zhao Feipeng has regained consciousness. Will he be tempted by the gold and take the risk?
"Dudu, follow Zhao Feipeng, nothing will happen, just wait a little longer."
Qin Qingman saw that people were uneasy, and reminded everyone that the wolf cub was still following Zhao Feipeng. If Zhao Feipeng really had any ulterior motives, the wolf cub would be able to take care of him.
"Comrade Qin, can...can..."
Some people looked at Qin Qingman and wanted to say something but felt that some words should not be said.
"You mean to say that Dudu is not a human being. It's impossible for someone to be that smart, right?" Qin Qingman guessed what the other party wanted to say.
"Yes." The man who questioned lowered his head with a red face.
The wolf cub was the hero who resolved the explosive crisis before. He felt that it was particularly inappropriate to doubt the hero, but he had to be more careful about some things.
"As a public security officer handling the case, you must be bold in your doubts and carefully verify the facts. I understand your doubts." Qin Qingman affirmed the other party's doubts.
But she also had something to say: "The situation in the pool is special. None of us can go down, and we don't know what the situation is below. Our soldiers have carefully checked the surrounding area within a radius of ten miles and found nothing abnormal, so we can only wait."
"Have you checked the area within a ten-mile radius?"
Many public security comrades looked at him in surprise.
"Yes, the soldiers who went up the mountain to explore Zhao Laosi's grave yesterday not only explored this area, but also conducted a careful inspection of the area within a radius of ten miles with this area as the core, and found no problems." This time the person who answered was Yuan Xiangyang.
"Comrades, if you don't trust someone, don't employ him. I believe in Comrade Zhao Feipeng."
The reason why Qin Qingman dared to vouch for Zhao Feipeng was not because she trusted Zhao Feipeng so much, nor because she knew Zhao Feipeng well.
It's because of the wolf cub.
The wolf cub was her adopted child, so of course she knew what kind of personality her child had.
Moreover, Qin Qingman also believed that Zhao Feipeng was no match for the wolf cub.
"Everyone should trust Comrade Qin Qingman's judgment." Chen Shanhe heard the reason clearly and chose to stand on Qin Qingman's side.
It is just like what Qin Qingman said, when there is nothing else to do, all you can do is trust.
"Comrade leader." Except for the guards, everyone present saluted Chen Shanhe. Although Chen Shanhe's identity had not yet been introduced, everyone knew that the person Qin Qingman and others brought back was the leader of the provincial department.
"Thank you for your hard work, comrades. On behalf of the provincial department, I would like to express my highest respect to you." Chen Shanhe and the people he brought with him saluted the crowd.
This ceremony represents the provincial government.
Everyone present had tears in their eyes. It felt so good to be respected and admired.
"He's back, he's back, Zhao Feipeng is back."
Just when the atmosphere on the scene was exciting, the soldiers on duty suddenly made excited voices.
Everyone's eyes turned to the pool.
Chen Shanhe and the people from several provincial departments were no exception. At this moment, everyone's heart was beating violently.
Zhao Feipeng’s return means the true return of gold.
Above the pool of water shrouded in white mist, the first thing that appeared was not a figure, but a box.
A finely carved wooden box.
One, two, three... When there were finally eight boxes placed on the shore, everyone saw Zhao Feipeng walking out of the white mist.
And everyone also understood why Zhao Feipeng had been gone for so long.
"Awooo--" Following a cheerful wolf howl, the black body of the wolf cub emerged from the white mist. The little guy did not run directly towards Qin Qingman, but rolled in the snow after staying away from the pool.
It knew that the mist was poisonous and could not just pounce on Qin Qingman.
