Chapter 109 The Box Underground

"Huh? Tell me in detail." Gao Shun said with a condensed expression.

"That's right... One night late at night, I heard movement in the camp, and then I found that Li Cheng's bed was empty and there was no one there."

Luo Hao thought about it carefully, and said again:
"After a while, he came back and asked him what he was doing, and he said in a panic that he went to pee, so I didn't care much about it."

Gao Shun frowned, but didn't say much.

After Luo Hao finished speaking, he looked at Gao Shun nervously and said:

"General Gao, if you can find the murderer behind the scenes, can you atone for me, I really don't know anything, I am innocent."

"Whether you can find it or not is another matter." Gao Shun didn't pay much attention, looked at Tan Liu, and said, "If I guess correctly, Li Cheng went out late at night because someone was looking for him.

Naturally, the purpose of looking for him is to bribe him. What do you need to buy a soldier?
Xu with a high official and rich salary?Or a luxury mansion?Or is it……"

Gao Shun paused, looked at each other, and said in unison: "Money!"

"It's money. The easiest and most practical way to buy someone off is to give him money, enough money.

And Li Cheng is just an ordinary soldier, or a captive who came down from the mountain, how broad can his vision be?Giving him money is the best option. "

Tan Liu also slapped his hands and said excitedly.

"As a soldier who has just arrived in Xudu, where can he put his money? He doesn't feel safe leaving it anywhere. He can only keep it close to him, that is, where he lives.

Either Zhang Liao's barracks, or the place after being recruited, most likely the latter, let's go! "

When Gao Shun thought of this, he didn't drag his feet. He ordered to go out.

Luo Hao who was behind was in a hurry, he wailed:

"General, you have found the murderer, don't forget to fish me out, General, I have made great contributions."

Outside the door, the jailer was still waiting. When he saw Gao Shun going out, he went up to him with a smile, flattering him and locking the door.

"Where did they live?" Gao Shun asked.

"This... this subordinate doesn't know," the jailer said.

Gao Shun nodded, it seemed that he had to go to Xiahou Dun again.

Unexpectedly, Xiahoudun was very talkative this time, and he didn't make things too difficult for him and satirize him, so he asked a guard to lead him there.

"Since this incident, no one has lived in this tent, and no one usually approaches it.

Someone also checked, but nothing was found. "The soldiers led Gao Shun and his party to an ordinary tent and explained.

Gao Shun nodded, expressing his understanding, opened the curtain and entered.

The tent is not big, that is, it can sleep several people. According to Luo Hao, Li Cheng's bed is the innermost one.

However, Gao Shun did not rush to search, but took a few people around the tent.

One lap was not enough, so I turned around twice, stomping my feet from time to time, and everyone watching was confused.

"Give me the knife." Gao Shun reached out and took the steel knife from Tan Liu.

Under the puzzled eyes of everyone, he walked to a place, first stepped on a few times in various ways, then held a knife in both hands, and stabbed down with a sharp force!
With a dull sound, the steel knife first encountered resistance, and then it was as smooth as cutting tofu with a sharp knife, and half of the blade was inserted directly.

"There is a situation!" Everyone was surprised, and quickly found tools such as shovels, and started digging around that place.

After a while, he dug the surrounding area clearly.

A small square pit, not too big, tens of centimeters long and half a meter deep.

The square pit was first covered with a wooden plank, and then several layers of thick soil were covered, and it was trampled several times. It looked no different from other places.

Tan Liufu lay on the ground, stretched his arms, reached for a small box under the square pit, and said, "General, how did you find out... Take it out."

"It's very simple, there is no place to hide things like a chest in this tent, so Li Cheng can only bury it on the ground and dig it out after the mission is over.

So I walked a few times in the camp, and stepped on it a few times, and naturally felt something was wrong. "

Gao Shun said, focusing all his attention on the box that Tan Liu had brought up.

"It's a very ordinary box, no different from the ones used by ordinary people."

Tan Liu looked at it, handed the box to Gao Shun, and said.

The box was not locked, but simply closed. Gao Shun opened the box under the curious eyes of everyone.

A golden light flashed.

It is not emitted from the box, but the sunlight outside shines through the door of the tent and reflects on the things inside the box.

Inside the chest was a pile of gold jewelry.

"This... How much does this cost?" Tan Liu swallowed his saliva and said dryly.

It's not that he has never seen money. When Gao Shun paid his military salary, the money he moved over did not know how much more than this.

But the point is that he doesn't have that much money in his hand, only a dozen taels.

As for the pile of jewelry in front of me, I'm afraid there are dozens or hundreds of taels per piece, let alone more than ten pieces.

With so much money, if you talk about yourself, I'm afraid he will be bribed too. Of course, it's not possible to assassinate Gao Shun.

If you do something else, you will consider it.

"I don't know, but it's worth a lot anyway, enough to buy someone off." Gao Shun closed the box and said:
"It's such a big deal. These jewelry, converted into money, will last for several lifetimes.

Who can resist this temptation? "

"Then, General, what should we do if we found this?" Jin Yu asked.

Gao Shun thought for a while, and said, "Go to the pawn shop!"

…………

"Did they really find a clue?"

Xiahou Dun put the spear back on the weapon rack and asked.

"Yes, they dug out a box from the ground, and it contained some gold jewellery."

The guard replied that he was the one who took Gao Shun to Li Cheng's tent just now.

"There is something. I also went to Li Cheng's camp, but I didn't find anything."

Xiahou Dun shook his head, it wasn't that he was inferior to Gao Shun, it was just that the two of them treated this matter differently.

Gao Shun wanted to solve the case wholeheartedly and find the murderer, so he was running around with all his heart.

But Xiahou Dun really managed to investigate. He didn't even bother to ask about the imprisoned people in the cell.

"Then where are they now?"

"According to General Gao, they are going to the pawn shop." The guard replied.

"A pawn shop?" Xiahou Dun thought for a while, and agreed: "It's a good idea, go to the pawn shop to find the craftsmen who made these first shows, and find out who bought them, and the case will naturally be solved.

I thought he could only fight small things like bandits, but I didn't expect that he was also good at detecting crimes. "

"Then we need to give him..." The attendant made a stumbling gesture.

Xiahou Dun smiled: "No, he can solve the case, that's his ability, and I'm not jealous.

Besides, he solved the case, so what?It's nothing more than returning Zhang Liao's troops, and it happens that I don't want it either. "

Xiahou Dun showed a disgusted expression on his face:

"A bunch of hopelessly bad soldiers."
