Chapter 5: Go up the mountain! Make a lot of money!

When Yang Shulin saw Su Ran coming out, he walked up to him and asked, "Little brother, did you just wake up?"

"Well, it's a bit of a coincidence." Su Ran also met the two of them.

It was obvious that Yang Shulin did not come here just to greet Su Ran. He got down to business: "Let me introduce you first. This is the county criminal investigation captain Sun Youquan. Captain Sun is in charge of solving the Lin Pirate Tomb case this time."

"Oh, hello, Captain Sun." Su Ran hurriedly shook hands with the other party. He originally thought that this was Yang Shulin's subordinate.

Seeing that both of them were in plain clothes, they didn't mention anything and didn't take anything, it didn't feel like they were giving themselves the bonus.

"You are the enthusiastic comrade who provided clues to the police, right?" Sun Youquan said with a smile, "It's like this, we are looking for you this time because we have something to tell you."

"Then please come in and sit down first. It's too cold outside."

It was somewhat chilly outside in late autumn, and the weather in the forest was also getting colder as winter was approaching.

Sun Youquan nodded, went into the house and sat on the stool that Su Ran had brought.

"It's not a big deal, actually," Yang Shulin started the conversation. "The group of tomb robbers confessed to their crimes after being interrogated by our institute and the criminal investigation department."

"They did participate in the previous tomb robberies."

"only……"

Yang Shulin sighed helplessly: "We originally thought that this group of tomb robbers was all there was, but we didn't expect there were far more than just these few people."

"What do you mean? Is there someone else?" Su Ran was a little curious, but soon realized that he had asked too many questions.

Sun Youquan on the side waved his hand to indicate that it was okay: "It's not a secret. From the pirate tomb of Qijiaqiaolin this time, including the previous tomb robberies, although this group of people were involved, they also have a boss."

"It's just a tomb-robbing group. And this group of people is just a small team under it."

At this time, Su Ran no longer cared about his bonus. Instead, he cared about whether he could destroy this tomb-robbing group: "Can we get rid of him?"

"Of course, it's only a matter of time."

"The leader is a core member of the tomb-robbing group, and the other four are just people he brought over from his hometown. We have already obtained a lot of intelligence from him, and it is only a matter of time before we catch them. Moreover, if we take down this group, you will also have a contribution, and the bonus will be even higher."

Sun Youquan said, pulling out a slightly bulging envelope from his pocket: "This just means that the case cannot be closed for the time being, so the relevant reporting reward cannot be given to you, but Yang and our team have allocated 3,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a partial reward in advance."

"After all, the current progress of the case is also thanks to your help."

"That's right," Yang Shulin said at this time, "Just from the tomb robbery at Qijiaqiao this time, they confiscated various antique funeral objects worth more than 100,000 yuan. Not to mention the royal tomb they are preparing to excavate, which is even more impossible to estimate in terms of money."

After hearing this, Su Ran nodded in sudden realization.

He was naturally very happy that he could help Uncle Hat.

Although the bonus of tens of thousands of yuan will not be paid for the time being, at least they still gave me three thousand yuan.

This shows that this is definitely not just empty talk.

It was only at this time that Su Ran noticed from what the two had just said that the group of tomb robbers had dug up more than 100,000 burial objects, but he could only see one ancient coin.

Sure enough, this also made him more certain that his ability was only able to see things within a certain value range.

It also includes the type of item.

At least Su Ran really has no way to see the value of the stone now, otherwise he would go gambling on stones.

After Captain Yang and Captain Sun left, Su Ran, who was sitting on the warm kang, fell into a daze.

You can't count on this bonus for the time being.

He originally planned to use the bonus to buy a pickup truck.

The road leading to the outside world from Qijiaqiao Village is very inconvenient. After all, it is located in the mountains and there are no decent roads.

That's some distance from the town.

The rest of the country was just dirt roads, and the only means of transportation in my grandfather's house was a three-wheeled vehicle with a cargo box in front.

This seemingly counterintuitive tricycle is called a donkey riding in reverse in the north.

If you ride a tricycle, it's fine if it's not raining or snowing, but if there are many potholes on the road, it will be very difficult to just pedal.

Not to mention the freezing cold weather.

So it is necessary to buy a small truck, and Su Ran doesn't want to buy a second-hand one because it has many minor problems and is troublesome.

If you are going to buy something, buy a new and good one, and try to use it until it is forced to be scrapped.

A new pickup truck that is slightly better and cheaper would cost 30,000 yuan. Now the money Su Ran makes from selling mountain products plus the 3,000 yuan bonus this time only adds up to 7,000 yuan.

“It’s still a long way off.”

Now I can only pay more attention to the area near Linhai and see if I can provide some clues to the police.

Su Ran also planned to go to the mountains to find some mountain products to sell before the snow fell.

I looked at the time and it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

Su Ran planned to go out now and come back before noon to see if he could get some big gains.

"Grandpa went out at this time. He must have gone for a walk."

Su Ran didn't think much about it. He just put on his coat and carried a backpack to go up the mountain when he met a child from a neighbor's family in the village.

"Mom, is that Brother Xiaoran?"

“Brother Xiaoran, Brother Xiaoran!”

I saw a little boy of about twelve or thirteen waving at me.

"It's Taozi."

Su Ran had never expected that the child from Aunt Wang's family at the east end of the village had grown so big in the blink of an eye. He walked over and touched Chen Tao's head: "Do you still remember your brother Ran? When we were little, you always liked to run behind me?"

Chen Tao said excitedly: "Of course I remember, I just called you."

Su Ran and Aunt Wang also greeted him, and then asked Chen Tao: "Are you on winter vacation?"

"No, our school is doing a renovation project, so we were given an early holiday, but we have to take online classes at home for this month. My sister only has half a semester left before her internship, so she went home to rest early and came with me."

At this moment, Chen Tao stared at the backpack on Su Ran's back, "Brother Xiao Ran, are you planning to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms? Can I go with you?"

"Then you have to ask your mother." Su Ran glanced at Aunt Wang and smiled.

Chen Tao turned around and grabbed his mother's sleeve, and asked eagerly: "Mom, can I go up the mountain with Brother Xiaoran?"

"How dangerous is that? But if you really want to go, you have to follow Su Ran closely and don't run around." Aunt Wang was very confident in Su Ran. After all, Su Ran had never lost his temper since she was a child.

"Okay!" The little kid excitedly started subject three after getting his mother's permission.

Su Ran and Aunt Wang were both at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

This poor kid, I’ve told him to look at his phone less.

As for children, now that smart devices are becoming popular and everyone has a mobile phone, platforms like Douyin are also extremely popular.

I’m tired of using my phone in the city, so I want to do something different when I return to the countryside.

That picture is just for fun.

However, Su Ran was more looking forward to whether he could find some more valuable mountain products this time.
