Chapter 3 A great harvest, grandpa was surprised

The Daqing Town Police Station dispatched three police cars and more than a dozen civilian and auxiliary police officers were ready to go.

In the police car, Yang Shulin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said, "Notify the teams behind to turn off the sirens after entering the village. We have finally found clues about the tomb robbers, and we must not alert them."

"clear."

When the police car arrived at Qijiaqiao Village, Yang Shulin and his team quickly ran towards the foot of Beilinhai Mountain.

At this time, Su Ran had been waiting at the entrance to the forest for a long time.

Yang Shulin was the first to see Su Ran and was immediately attracted by his appearance.

He carried a backpack and wore simple clothes.

He can be said to be a villager and a kind-hearted person, but he looks a bit handsome.

Compared with popular stars, he is more down-to-earth and looks comfortable.

"The villager who called the police should be him. Let's go up and ask him."

Yang Shulin's tone seemed calm, but the detail that he took a step forward before he finished speaking completely betrayed his excitement at the moment.

Other police officers followed suit.

"Hello, I'm Yang Shulin, deputy director of the Daqing Town Police Station."

Yang Shulin grabbed Su Ran's hand and asked urgently, "Did you call the police? How many people are there in that group of tomb robbers? Where are they now?"

"About four or five."

Su Ran pointed to the northern forest behind him and said, "Those people are in the forest. They said they started digging the tomb at night, but I feel like they should have started digging now."

“There should be enough manpower.”

Yang Shulin looked in the direction of Su Ran's finger, and his eyes suddenly burst into heat.

"By the way, Yang Suo, take a look at this."

Su Ran took out the cigarette butt wrapped in plastic wrap from the backpack, then opened his cell phone and handed over the set of photos.

Yang Shulin first took a look, then asked his officers to check it on their police cell phones.

The police officer nodded quickly and said in surprise: "This shoe print is consistent with the shoe print found near one of the robbed tombs in the previous cases."

Yang Shulin nodded confidently: "Not only are the shoe prints consistent, but the cigarette butts and those left at the crime scene are from the same brand. It looks like the same group of people did this."

After the dark clouds have been cleared away, a bright moon has appeared, and the case has finally made a new progress.

"Brother Xiao Su, do you know where it is exactly?"

"Uh..." Su Ran shook his head, "I don't know about that."

Yang Shulin took a breath and said, "This is a bit tricky."

The Northern Forest Sea is huge, with the entire mountain range and its surrounding areas covering a total area of ​​over 32.72 square kilometers.

Even with the approximate direction and range given by Su Ran, it would still be difficult to search for it in a short time.

"One night is definitely not enough time, and a high-profile search might alert the enemy."

But even so, Yang Shulin still wants to give it a try.

This is also a rare opportunity where the enemy is in the open and I am in the dark.

He called out to the back, "Go call Xiao Chen and ask him to bring the police dog from the police car. No matter what, we still have to try. If we miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to catch them next time."

From Yang Shulin's words, it was not difficult for Su Ran to tell that this group of tomb robbers was extremely cunning.

He didn't want the hat guy to return empty-handed this time, so he volunteered: "In fact, I may know roughly where they are. I grew up in Beilinhai and am familiar with this place. Let me lead the way."

"Really? That's great."

Yang Shulin liked Su Ran, a young and enthusiastic citizen, from the bottom of his heart, and said to a police officer: "Xiao Liu, you just walk beside the little brother. In case of emergency, you must give priority to protecting his safety."

"Yes!"

"Okay, everyone, follow me into the mountains!"

Soon, under Su Ran's guidance, Yang Shulin and a group of police officers began to move towards the depths of the forest.

During this period, many people were wondering how Su Ran could lead them to find the tomb robbers.

Smell?

Who can compare to a police dog?
As for Yang Shulin, he had no delusion that Su Ran could really lead him to find the group of tomb robbers.

The reason why Su Ran was asked to come along was more because he was more familiar with Beilinhai.

When searching the mountains on a large scale, local village guides are indispensable.

They can often provide a lot of useful information in a timely manner.

The police dog beside him was eagerly searching for the remaining scent of the tomb robbers.

However, Su Ran was not nervous.

Because he thought that he could see the prompts of items within a range of 100 meters, and also the prompts of the ancient coin.

As long as the police dog can give a rough location, it will be fine.

During the search, the police officers were extremely careful and did not even dare to shine their flashlights too far.

But the police dog walked slower and slower, and even stopped where it was.

The police dog trainer in charge of the leash touched its neck and said with an expression of trying his best: "The smell is getting weaker and weaker. The police dog is not very useful now."

Just when everyone was feeling discouraged, Su Ran suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture to silence them. There was a faint hint just to the east of his gaze.

【Ancient coins*2000￥】

Su Ran immediately took Yang Shulin and moved towards that direction.

Yang Shulin, who was following behind, was muttering to himself.

I walked about fifty meters.

Su Ran showed a smile on his face and pointed towards the distance.

Yang Shulin looked in that direction and found a very faint light coming out from the ground, and he immediately understood what was going on.

After the two men returned, Yang Shulin quickly began to arrange the capture operation.

Then he called to Su Ran: "Little brother, stay here first. I'll have someone protect you."

Now is the time for the police to take action. Villager Su Ran does not need to take any actions that may be dangerous.

Moreover, Yang Shulin was mainly afraid that Su Ran’s face would be seen by the group of tomb robbers.

Su Ran knew very well that Yang Shulin was thinking about him.

When the police officers set out, sounds of chasing and shouting were soon heard from the woods.

About ten minutes later, Yang Shulin came over with a group of dusty police officers and five tomb robbers with their heads covered.

Just as Su Ran was about to speak, Yang Shulin immediately pulled him away: "Shh, don't let them hear you."

As expected of a policeman, he is really meticulous!
"Thanks to you for reporting and leading the way this time, little brother," Yang Shulin sighed, "this gave us the opportunity to deploy in advance, otherwise we would have no way to deal with these tomb robbers."

“This is exactly what I should do.”

"Let's put it this way," Yang Shulin patted Su Ran's shoulder with satisfaction, "Your report is meritorious. I think the higher-ups will definitely give you a large bonus, at least 30,000 yuan."

Su Ran was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that he would have an unexpected gain.

"I'll take the person back for interrogation. If nothing goes wrong, it's this group of people. The money will be in your hands after the case is closed."

Yang Shulin led the team down the mountain: "Leave two people to meet the archaeological experts and criminal investigation comrades later, and the rest of you follow me down the mountain. Thank you for your hard work today."

On the way down the mountain, Su Ran suggested that he stay on the mountain for a while. Yang Shulin didn't ask any more questions and left with the police officers.

Under the night,
Su Ran ran to a big tree, carefully picked a mushroom bigger than his palm and put it in his backpack, then went down the mountain contentedly.

Although Qijiaqiao Village is next to such a large northern forest, there are not many villagers.

There are only about a hundred people in the entire village.

In the past, people here lived off the mountains and led a simple and comfortable life. As the times change, many young people go out to work, and only some elderly people and villagers who don't want to leave their hometowns stay in the village to guard the few acres of land.

Su Ran vaguely remembered that when she was a child, her father told her that her grandfather also worked as a forest ranger, earning more than ten yuan a month, and picking wild medicinal herbs and mushrooms in the mountains every day to exchange for money in the town.

This is how I was able to support my father to go to college.

The seemingly ordinary work is actually a reflection of the old man’s life.

Su Ran had never planned to follow his grandfather's path.

When Su Ran arrived outside the yard, before he even knocked on the door, his grandfather opened the door and handed him a bowl of still-hot food: "You haven't eaten yet, eat it while it's hot."

Then he sat on the kang with a sullen face and started smoking a pipe.

Su Ran felt helpless, he knew that his grandfather was angry with him.

But looking at the bowl of hot rice in his hand, Su Ran immediately started laughing again. He put the backpack by the door, squatted on the ground and ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Humph, you kid, why don't you stay in the city and run to the countryside? Come with me to the village chief tomorrow and quit your job. I'll send you to the bus."

The old man looked resentful, and Su Ran got a little anxious: "Oh, Grandpa, what's so good about the city? If it was really that good, why did you refuse to go when my dad wanted to take you there? And you haven't lived here for most of your life."

"I have no choice!" The old man said seriously, "I, your grandfather, have little education and no special ability, so I could only rely on Lin Hai for food."

He said with some regret: "You are different now. You are a college student. You have better options than guarding the forest. If it was not a big deal in the past, but now, you may not be able to support yourself by picking mushrooms, let alone marry a wife."

The old man took a puff of his pipe, which was considered a convincing statement.

In fact, he was very happy that his grandson could come back to see him.

But he would never be so selfish as to let his grandson stay and ruin his future.

After all, society is too realistic.

Su Ran pouted. He seldom acted like a spoiled child in front of his parents because he thought it was childish. But in front of his grandfather, he openly wanted to be a child.

"Grandpa, actually big cities aren't that good, and college students are worthless now."

"You know what? I am worth three or four thousand in the city."

"I like the quietness of Linhai. I always feel like my pace has slowed down here."

“I feel like I have plenty of time every day.”

At this moment,
Su Ran's eyes fell on the backpack. He wanted to show his grandfather his day's spoils.

I put the bowl and chopsticks aside and showed the mushrooms in the basket to my grandfather.

"Grandpa, look, what is this?"

The old man who was leaning on the kang and smoking a pipe opened his eyes and glanced around casually. When he saw the thing on the ground clearly, he sat up instantly.

“Is this wild black tiger paw mushroom?”
