Chapter 516: Hidden Murder
Gao Mingcheng sighed and admitted that he was moved for a second.
It's a pity that he understands the principle of letting the tiger return to the mountains. It would be best to catch this group of people in one fell swoop today to avoid leaking his information.
Gao Mingcheng tore off a vine and used it as a rope, then walked forward and tied up the second uncle's hands.
During this process, the second uncle wanted to run away, but was kicked to the ground by Gao Mingcheng.
The huge force caused waves of pain in the area where he was kicked.
At this moment, my second uncle was in despair.
He made his final struggle and said, "As long as you let me live, I will give you 600,000! This is all my wealth. As long as you let me live, I will definitely give you the money!"
Gao Mingcheng sighed again. The temptation was so great that it was hard not to be moved.
"Hey, you're wrong, I'm from the police." As soon as Gao Mingcheng said this, the second uncle's face changed suddenly, and he believed in his heart that Fatty Liu had colluded with the police to betray them.
This damn Fatty Liu first tried to cheat them with counterfeit goods, but when he saw that he couldn't cheat them, he actually wanted to send them to the police!
Gao Mingcheng noticed the change in expression on his second uncle's face, and remembered what Shi Laosan said when Gao Guobing and the others rushed in, so he knew what was going on.
When he brought the person back, he didn't send him to the shed, but took him to the cabin on the mountainside.
In the cabin, the fire had gradually gone out because no one added new firewood, and only a little charcoal was still emitting a flickering red glow.
Maozi was still sleeping soundly, and because of the cold, his whole body was curled up.
"Maozi, wake up." Gao Mingcheng woke Maozi up. The work had been done and it was time to pack up and leave.
He locked his second uncle in a small wooden house and found a rope to tie his second uncle's feet to prevent Maozi from being unable to keep an eye on him and letting him escape.
Maozi, who had just woken up, was still dazed and muttered, "Brother, are we going to check out the goods?"
"Something happened. We'll talk about it later. Anyway, wake up first and help me keep an eye on this man. Don't let him run away. I have something else to do."
"Oh, shut his mouth and don't talk to him!" Gao Mingcheng was about to leave, but he turned around and found a piece of cloth to stuff into his second uncle's mouth, to prevent him from asking for too high a price and letting the man go.
The reason why Second Uncle was brought here is because we are afraid that he would talk to Fatty Liu and the others. Now Second Uncle thinks that Fatty Liu harmed them, so during the interrogation, he will spare no effort to betray Fatty Liu.
Once Second Uncle and Fatty Liu collude with each other, the interrogation will not be so smooth.
Gao Mingcheng looked at Maozi and warned him again and again: "Don't talk to him, and don't let him go, understand?"
Maozi was now completely awake. He rubbed the eye boogers at the corners of his eyes and nodded continuously.
"Brother, don't worry, I definitely have high hopes for him!" Maozi was a small-time gangster before, but he had only done petty thefts and had never seen a big scene.
Although he didn't know the situation at the moment, he was quite excited. He felt that he was going to do something big with Gao Mingcheng!
Something big enough for him to brag about for half his life!
After explaining everything clearly, Gao Mingcheng walked out of the cabin. He also had to go and see if Gao Guobing and the others had caught Shi Laosan and Xiao Le.
Just as he was thinking this, he heard gunshots coming from the southwest direction of the forest, so he immediately ran towards the sound of the gunshots.
When he ran over, he saw Huang Dazhi had been shot and fell to the ground!
"Dazhi! Where are you hurt?" Gao Mingcheng asked hurriedly, and quickly stepped forward to check on Huang Dazhi's condition.
Huang Dazhi fell to the ground, holding his abdomen tightly with one hand.
Blood flowed from the palm of his hand, staining the clothes next to him red.
"Damn tomb robber!" Gao Mingcheng cursed and quickly took out hemostatic drugs and bandages from his pocket.
When I got the equipment at the police station, I also picked up hemostatic drugs and bandages so that I can treat wounds in an emergency.
As for the bullet, it was dark here and Gao Mingcheng was not very familiar with the human body, so he naturally didn't dare to pull the trigger.
However, when he was treating Huang Dazhi's wound, he found that Huang Dazhi was not injured in the abdomen, but in the waist. The entire waist was extensively abraded, but because of this, the bullet did not penetrate into Huang Dazhi's body.
Seeing this, Gao Mingcheng breathed a sigh of relief.
But the situation was not very good. It was estimated that when the bullet came, Huang Dazhi instinctively dodged to the side, but he did not avoid it completely. The bullet just went through Huang Dazhi's waist, making the area bloody.
Huang Dazhi gasped in pain and gritted his teeth and said, "He got away! Ming Cheng, that guy's shooting skills are very accurate!"
Huang Dazhi didn't know who he was chasing, but through his general description, Gao Mingcheng knew that Huang Dazhi was chasing Shi Laosan.
A tomb robber who is very famous in the underworld and also a very famous antique supplier in Hong Kong.
I can only say that Huang Dazhi has really bad luck!
He looked around in darkness. Huang Dazhi was shot and fell to the ground, and Shi Laosan had disappeared long ago.
Shi Laosan is good at surviving in the mountains, so Gao Mingcheng cannot guarantee that he can find Shi Laosan, not to mention that Huang Dazhi is injured.
Now we can only send Huang Dazhi back to the shed first, and then wait for news from Gao Guobing.
He was chasing his second uncle, Huang Dazhi was chasing Shi Laosan, then Gao Guobing and Xiao Zhang were chasing Xiao Le.
Gao Mingcheng was not familiar with this person, but considering his age, it shouldn't be too difficult to deal with him. Besides, Gao Guobing had two people on his side!
As he was thinking this, he saw Gao Guobing and the others coming back. Xiao Zhang was carrying a person on his shoulders, or to be more precise, a dead person.
When Gao Mingcheng saw the dead Xiaole, his heart sank.
Although these people will most likely eat peanuts after being caught, but... Shi Laosan escaped!
If we can't catch them all in one fell swoop, there will definitely be trouble!
"Uncle, are you okay?" Gao Mingcheng asked.
Gao Guobing shook his head and said, "We are fine, how are you guys doing?"
Huang Dazhi said ashamedly: "Director Gao... I lost the person."
Gao Mingcheng then helped to say, "Dazhi was chasing after Shi Laosan. Shi Laosan was very famous and his marksmanship was very accurate. He was a veteran tomb robber and was very familiar with the terrain of the mountains and forests. Dazhi was shot, but fortunately the bullet did not remain in his body."
The expression on Gao Guobing's face changed several times. He finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing that Huang Dazhi was fine.
He looked back at the dark and steep forest. The forest was like a mysterious giant beast, swallowing up darkness and harbouring murderous intent.
Gao Guobing wanted to chase them immediately, but they didn't have enough manpower, so he hesitated.
Gao Mingcheng was determined to find Shi Laosan.
Gao Guobing and his men beat Xiao Le to death. If Shi Laosan were to escape, there would definitely be endless trouble.
Tomb robbers are almost always family gangs, rarely teaming up with outsiders. And if it is a father and son, the son goes down to rob the tomb, and the father keeps watch outside, because the father will always pull the son up, but after the son gets the treasure, he may not pull the father up.
Over time, a custom was formed. Sometimes uncles and nephews would go to the tomb together, and the uncle would act as a lookout. Because of their sisterly love, the uncle would not abandon his nephew.
The old and the young brought by Shi Laosan are most likely his relatives.
Shi Laosan is rich and has many acquaintances in the underworld. Once he runs away, he can organize firepower to break into the police station!
Don't think this is impossible. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the people were fully armed and large-scale fights often occurred. In places with abundant guns and ammunition, a fight between two villages could involve hundreds of guns and mortars.
In some villages, the entire village was even filled with bandits and robbers. During the crackdown in 1996, more than half of the people in the village were sentenced to death.
Previously, one of Xiao Jinfeng's drivers was beaten by people from a roadside village near Yingtan. They also seized his car and demanded a sky-high price. At that time, Xiao Jinfeng asked Gao Mingcheng to help fight.
Fortunately, this place is poor and the police don't have many guns and ammunition, and the civilians have even fewer. Otherwise, once a gun is used, life and death will be unpredictable.
That one plane did suppress the people in that village, and they never dared to touch the cars of Xiao Jinfeng's company again. But it was also heard that they would touch other passing cars as well, but their methods were not as violent.
For example, in the evening, there is a big tree blocking the road. When drivers from other places pass by, they cannot move the tree by themselves, so they have to seek help to move the tree. At this time, old people from the village will appear. When they seek help, the old people will say 50 yuan per person. The passing drivers think that it is okay, and with two or three more people, they can move the tree together.
As a result of this agreement, twenty or thirty people from the village came over to help. Afterwards, they asked you to pay. If you didn't, they would surround you and wouldn't let you leave.
This method does not harm people's lives, but only seeks money. Once the driver is entangled, he will not be able to rest until he pays a few hundred dollars.
But losing money is better than losing your life. If the driver is unlucky and encounters a bandit who specializes in killing drivers, it would be terrible!
Thinking about the instability of social security, Gao Mingcheng became more determined to catch Shi Laosan as soon as possible.
So he said, "Uncle, it's not convenient to take the criminal down the mountain now, so why don't we go look for him in the mountain. Dazhi is injured, so let Dazhi guard Fatty Liu and the others, and Officer Song will go with us to look for him."
Gao Guobing was already hesitant. He also wanted to catch Shi Laosan, but he was short of manpower.
Now after hearing Gao Mingcheng's words, he immediately said, "Okay! Dazhi, you stay here to guard the prisoner, Xiaosong, you go with us to chase the prisoner."
"Okay!" Xiao Song immediately checked his gun and followed with a stern expression.
During this mission, Huang Dazhi was shot and injured, and one of the enemies was killed. Xiao Song knew that the remaining person would be very troublesome.
There was darkness between heaven and earth. No one knew where Shi Laosan had escaped to. Gao Mingcheng and others could only chase him based on their senses.
The mountains and forests are so vast that there are roads in all directions.
Naturally, the group cannot stay together, so the possibility of catching up with Shi Lao San will be even lower.
Therefore, Gao Guobing asked everyone to disperse and said, "If the enemy resists stubbornly, don't fight hard. It's more important to save your own life!"
"Okay." Everyone responded and dispersed.
Gao Mingcheng went in the direction where he had found Huang Dazhi before. In addition to the dagger, he also had a gun on his waist.
This gun was naturally taken from the second uncle.
This group of people's equipment is pretty good. It looks like imported guns with good texture. I don't know the specific series of guns. There are still five bullets in the magazine, so they can still be used.
Gao Mingcheng ran quickly in the mountains and forests, like a wild beast in the mountains, and was not affected by the terrain at all.
He kept his eyes and ears open, not missing any suspicious information.
Shi Laosan walks in the mountains all year round, but he is not bad either, and thanks to the two pieces of gold foil, Gao Mingcheng's physical fitness is far beyond that of ordinary people.
When he made up his mind to capture Shi Laosan, half of Shi Laosan's fate was no longer under his control.
Gao Mingcheng walked through the mountains and forests, climbing over one mountain after another.
The mountains stretch endlessly, and the stars twinkle unsteadily.
The mountain wind howled through the forest, and the world was filled with a solemn atmosphere.
Gao Mingcheng ran too fast, and the cold wind was inhaled into his nasal cavity and then into his lungs, causing some discomfort, but his breathing was steady and he was not greatly affected.
He kept running in the mountains and forests, sensing all the information in the mountains. Suddenly, he noticed someone running, so he immediately changed direction and chased after that person.
The second hand in the watch rotates in circles, which means that time passes by minute by minute.
It was already 1:30 in the morning. From the time he had a falling out with Fatty Liu to the time the police came to disrupt the situation and he ran away, Shi Laosan had already been running in the mountains for an hour and a half.
He is in good physical condition, but he is a little out of breath at this moment.
He gradually slowed down and looked around, and suddenly found a natural sunken cave behind a bush.
The entrance of the cave is not big, but it is more than enough to hide one person. Moreover, the entrance is covered by bushes, so it is very hidden.
After Shi Laosan shot and forced back the policeman who was chasing him, he felt that the crisis had dissipated. But at this moment, he actually felt frightened, so he decided not to expose himself, but to find a hiding place.
Shi Laosan hid in the cave and covered his body with bushes. The bushes were a kind of plant covered with thorns, so his hands were stabbed several times, but he held it in and tried to calm his breathing, holding the pistol tightly in his hand.
The moment he hid, Gao Mingcheng, who had been tracking him, lost his direction.
Gao Mingcheng stopped and made sure that he could not find any noise made by Shi Laosan. He guessed that Shi Laosan might have hidden himself.
He didn't dare to be careless. He tensed all his muscles and moved forward carefully.
Shi Laosan might be hiding in the dark and would shoot him if he got the chance, so Gao Mingcheng had to be alert and have a place to hide at all times.
But unfortunately, there are few big trees in this forest, most of them are low shrubs and climbing vines.
If you look at it during the day, you will feel that the terrain is complex and difficult to break into. But at night when the light is dim, these shrubs and vines form clusters of black shadows, like giant beasts lurking here.
Gao Mingcheng tried his best to protect himself using the terrain. Every step he took was very light, and only made extremely small sounds when he stepped on the dead branches and leaves.
Time passed minute by minute, and Gao Mingcheng still got nothing.
But it is impossible to ask him to give up.
Gao Mingcheng moved his fingers slightly, opened the safety, and placed his index finger on the trigger.
Suddenly, he fired a shot at a certain place. In the silence, the sudden sound of the gunshot startled the forest.
