Upon hearing the words of the chief helmsman, the eyes of several hall masters shone brightly. They were all rough people with little education and believed in the theory of gods and ghosts.
The Australians came to Qiongzhou only five or six years ago, and they swept away Gao Lian Lei Qiong. Even the officers and soldiers were defeated by them. They actually attacked the city of Guangzhou and plundered all directions. Not to mention the Haisha Gang, it was Zhu Cai Lao, Liu Xiang
, even Zheng Zhilong never did it when he was the most awesome!
The ship is strong, the guns are powerful, and the world is rich... All these things give people an unreal feeling. It is no wonder that they all suspect that the Australians have some "secret treasure".
This time, if he hadn’t heard that one of the secret treasures was in Kaohsiung, Shazaodeng would not have come to Kaohsiung specifically. He worked hard for more than a year to implement the plan.
"...Contained in this box is the fourth secret treasure: the Crystal Sun Mirror!" Sha Zhaodeng said.
"My dear, this is incredible!" Tan Xiaobo exclaimed in surprise, "With this thing, wouldn't we be rich!"
"Yes, as long as it is presented to the imperial court, it will be a great achievement immediately!"
…
Several hall leaders were excitedly discussing the "benefits" of getting the treasure, but Sha Zhaodeng didn't say anything. This time he worked hard for more than a year and finally got the treasure. Although his face didn't show it, he was in a very happy mood.
Excited
His ambitions are much more "ambitious" than those of several of his subordinates. He scorns the idea of dedicating money to the government and the like. It doesn't matter how much benefit it brings to him if he dedicates it to the government or the court. I'm afraid he will be innocent by then.
It was his crime to be pregnant with a jade. He was killed by the government before receiving the reward! His idea was much more complicated. With this mirror that "can transform the infinite world and know the affairs of the world", his first step was to find other people.
As for the whereabouts of the six treasures, try to steal them to achieve great things. If you can't steal them, you have to find the location of the bulk of the treasures and dig them quietly. As long as you have the money, you can't let the birds fly! No matter if you take advantage of it,
In troubled times, if you segregate yourself into a corner, or if the situation is not good and you slip away, you have a very good chance of winning.
Sun Ninghai has already told everything about his meeting with Sha Zhaodeng. He said that every time he met with Sha Zhaodeng, it was during the day, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon, and the time was uncertain. However, the specific time of each meeting was
Sha Zhaodeng informed him of the location and location the last time they met.
As for the location, it is not fixed. It is generally within the urban area of Yancheng, and sometimes we will meet in the port area.
"How old is he and what does he look like?"
"Dark face, short beard, medium build, about forty years old." Sun Ninghai's face was sluggish at this moment, and he was already convinced, as if he was pouring beans out of a bamboo tube.
"Is it short hair?"
"I dress like the local people, and I also wear short clothes like this. I look like the farmers here."
Xu Xu thought to himself: This is difficult. There are only a few thousand men with such looks in Kaohsiung. There are no photos, so where can I find them based on Sun Ninghai’s description?
"What are the characteristics of this person?"
Sun Ninghai thought for a moment and said, "There are no obvious characteristics. It's just that he often speaks with Wu accent."
"Wu Yin?"
"Yes, Sha Zhaodeng's native place is Suzhou Prefecture, and he was sent to Gaozhou when he was a child..."
Xu Xu thought that this was a big feature, but if this person could become a gang leader in Gaozhou, it was obviously impossible for him to speak Wu dialect. He should be able to speak Cantonese. He asked again: "What does he usually say?"
"When he met me, he all spoke Gaozhou dialect." Sun Ninghai said, "But I saw that he could also speak New Dialect - he spoke it quite well..."
Based on Sun Ninghai's description, Xu Xu simply made a "text portrait" of Sha Zhaodeng. It was nothing more than appearance, but two things caught his attention:
First, Sha Zhaodeng can speak Xinhua, and "speaks it pretty well." According to Sun's explanation, the Haisha Gang's home base is in Gaozhou, and he is the boss of the Haisha Gang, so he must be best at Gaozhou dialect and Guangzhou vernacular.
His native place is Suzhou, so it is normal to mix in some Wu dialect. But where did he learn this Newspeak?
Even in Hainan Island, the number of naturalized people who are relatively proficient in Newspeak is limited. In addition to the naturalized cadres, employees and soldiers, they are the refugees admitted during Operation Engine. Because they come from different regions and have mixed dialects, in the Elder
With the encouragement of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, they all chose Newspeak as a communication tool. Kaohsiung was in a similar situation.
In this way, Sha Zhaodeng did not come to Kaohsiung temporarily, but had stayed in Kaohsiung for a long time, so that he could speak new dialects.
Combined with his attire of "blonde hair and short clothes", it shows that he is likely to be lurking somewhere in Kaohsiung for a long time as a naturalized citizen of the province...
The second is the time he makes an appointment for a meeting. Although the time for each meeting is not fixed, the date of the next meeting can be decided every time they meet. This is a bit subtle. You can guess what this person is doing.
Work with specific schedules.
In most units with scheduled work, the schedule is always decided at least a week in advance, so he can specify a specific day.
In this case, it is very likely that he is not a farmer in the field. Because farmers do not schedule shifts.
In the whole of Kaohsiung, there are not many units that have scheduled work, and the machinery factory is one of them. But obviously Sha Zhaodeng is not a worker there. Otherwise, Sun Ninghai would have bumped into him long ago.
Just as Quan Quan was thinking about it, he received a call from Kaohsiung National School, saying that he had found new clues.
Xu Xu heard this and rushed over immediately. As soon as he entered the office door, he saw Jin Xiaoyu circling there. Seeing him coming, before he spoke, Jin Xiaoyu said: "You are here! We know how the key was lost!"
"
Xu Xu asked anxiously: "How did you lose it?"
"Come and take a look." Jin Xiaoyu couldn't help but grabbed the permission and ran to the administrative office.
When we arrived at the administrative office, it was empty. Only the key box was placed on the table with a seal label of "evidence" on it. Xuancheng was surprised. Who removed this box?
He took a few steps and immediately discovered the problem. The bottom plate of the box was still fixed to the wall, but other parts had fallen off.
"What's going on?" Xu Xu asked.
"We just discovered it today," Jin Xiaoyu said. "This morning, we were moving seats next door and accidentally bumped into this partition wall. We heard a crash here. We rushed over to take a look and found the box.
It fell off on this side."
Xu picked up the box. The whole box was made of wood. At this moment, its back panel was still firmly fixed on the wall, but the other parts had completely fallen off.
The broken parts of the broken part and the back panel are neat and tidy. They are not cracked or broken after being hit hard by external force. The box can be gently re-covered, and the two fit together perfectly.
Jin Xiaoyu looked at him nervously and asked, "How is it?"
Xu Xu took it off and looked at the cross section carefully and said, "It was cut with a saw."
Judging from the traces of the stubble, it is a saw with very small teeth. Therefore, it did not cause much damage to the joints, and there are still traces of grinding and gluing on the joints.
It is speculated that someone cut off the entire box with a saw, took out the key and copied it. Judging from the traces of glue, glue was applied twice in total.
He took a deep breath, blaming himself for not discovering it earlier and being obsessed with the key issue. If he had carefully inspected the key box at that time, the suspicious point on this seam should have been visible.
However, this administrative office is not a place that everyone can enter. Not only is this person easy to get in and out, but he also has a lot of time to saw off the entire box and then use glue to restore it...
Xu Xu had an idea and murmured to himself: "I understand! It turns out that this dark shadow did not come from outside at all, he is in the school!"
Now, everything can be explained. Why the black shadow frequently appears on campus and how he got the spare key. He secretly blamed himself. These signs were actually too obvious, but he was caught by the gap in the fence.
Misled.
He asked: "How many of them have a key to enter this office?"
"I have already checked," Jin Xiaoyu looked at his face and knew that there was a chance of solving the case. He also showed a relaxed expression on his face and said, "In addition to the four secretaries, there are also the academic director Zhao Mengmeng, plus me and Teacher Xiang."
"That's all?" Xu Li was a little doubtful.
"Probably." After asking this, Jin Xiaoyu was not sure. He immediately called Xiaoxiang, who was in charge of logistics, and asked who else had the key to this office.
"There is a key to the general affairs duty room. When you need to repair something, clean, or move things, the school janitor needs to get in and out."
"Who specifically takes care of it?" Xu Xu asked urgently.
"Just hang it in the duty room. Whoever uses it can take it out. When you're done, hang it back up..."
"How many people in the general affairs duty room have keys?!" Xu Xu thought it was a nesting doll.
"There are all school janitors in the school." Xiaoxiang guessed something from his tone, "There are four school janitors in total. The door of the duty room is basically unlocked during the day because they often have to go in and out..."
Xu Xu asked again: "Is there a saw in the school?"
"Saw? Yes, yes, it's in the general affairs duty room, a full set of woodworking tools..."
"Come on, let's go take a look!" Xu Xu was about to go over and ordered: "Call Shaanxi Gan to put the campus police on duty and control all entrances and exits! People are allowed in but not out."
After the arrangement was completed, Xu Xu, Jin Xiaoyu and others came to the general affairs duty room. It was a small room. In addition to a large table, various tools and parts for daily maintenance were guarded on the walls and shelves.
The materials are packed to the brim.
Xiaoxiang pointed to a cork board next to the door that was hung with broken pieces: "The key to the administrative office is hung here."
Xu Xu was no longer interested in keys at this moment. He walked straight to the tool wall and looked at the various tools on it. Soon, he took off the ordinary wire saw from it and looked at the saw teeth on it.
