Chapter 475
Chapter 475
The old couple was waiting for Lin Jinhui and his group to return to Beijing, but they didn't know how nervous the three of them were at the moment.
A large truck was parked in the yard of a guesthouse.
Meng Haisheng and his two friends, plus a driver, were eating in the house and preparing to stay here tonight.
They were already halfway through their journey, and the four of them were extremely tired.
The driver had to drive for several days in a row, although he had to travel during the day and rest at night, but he was also very tired.
Meng Haisheng and his two friends were worried all the way because of the gold, silver and jewelry in the car.
First, they were afraid that the bumpy road would damage their things.
Second, they were afraid of being robbed.
Although the public security was much better than in the early 1980s, there were still many robbers.
There were also many black shops in guesthouses like this one, which were opened next to the national highway.
Meng Haisheng and his two friends were always on high alert along the way.
"Master Gu, you go to bed first. The three of us brothers will take turns to watch the goods."
"Okay."
Master Gu didn't bother to be polite with Meng Haisheng, and turned back to the house to sleep.
Meng Haisheng and the other two asked for a room by the window on the first floor. The three of them took turns sleeping, and one of them leaned on the window to stare at the truck in the yard.
If there was any movement, he could flip out of the window.
Lin Jinyan was the first on duty. He changed shifts with Lin Jinhui at 11 o'clock in the evening, and Meng Haisheng took over at 3 o'clock in the morning.
It is definitely against the rules to carry a gun when walking outside. Meng Haisheng and Lin Jinhui each held a slingshot and a dagger in their hands, and only Lin Jinyan had a gun in his hand.
Everyone rested well in the first half of the night.
When Lin Jinhui changed shifts, the three of them woke up, and Lin Jinyan even looked around through the window.
The door of the guesthouse was closed, and the two big black dogs at the door were also asleep.
"Jinhui, be alert. There will be more petty thieves at 1 or 2 in the morning."
"I know."
Lin Jinhui took out a bottle of ointment similar to cooling oil from his clothes and applied it on his temples and philtrum.
He was still sleepy just now, but he was much more awake in an instant.
Time passed in a flash. When Lin Jinhui was on duty, there was no movement. The whole guesthouse was frighteningly quiet, with only summer insects chirping in the moonlight.
At three o'clock, it was Meng Haisheng's turn to be on duty. Lin Jinhui gave Meng Haisheng the ointment again.
Meng Haisheng, who had slept for several hours, put the ointment in his pocket and prepared to take a bucket of water from the well in the yard to take a shower.
He was sweating all over in the room just now, and it was sticky and uncomfortable.
Meng Haisheng had just gotten up and hadn't left yet, when he saw the two big black dogs who had been sleeping at the door stood up.
The two dogs barked twice at the door and stopped barking.
Soon, the sound of a night cat meowing came from outside the door.
If it were normal time, Meng Haisheng would definitely think too much when encountering such a thing.
Wild cats are everywhere.
But today, the truck was loaded with expensive jewelry, and he wanted to go out and see if it was a wild cat.
So Meng Haisheng didn't go out, and sat back in the shadow on the side of the window, just enough to see the situation of the big iron door.
I saw the two big black dogs stand up and a white steamed bun was thrown in from outside.
The two big black dogs stopped barking when they saw the steamed bun, and rushed to fight for the steamed bun to eat.
Seeing this, Meng Haisheng almost guessed the follow-up.
Poisoning the guard dog and entering the house to steal things, isn't this the favorite method of habitual thieves?
Sure enough, after a while, the two black dogs who were fighting for the steamed buns hummed twice, and then lay on the ground and foamed at the mouth and died, without even having time to bark.
All this happened so suddenly that Meng Haisheng's heart tightened. Is this a deadly poison?
"Big brother, second brother, something's wrong."
Meng Haisheng pushed the sleeping Lin brothers hard.
The two of them were light sleepers, but after Meng Haisheng pushed them, they woke up instantly.
"What's wrong?"
Lin Jinyan asked in a low voice.
"Someone poisoned the two dogs guarding the door."
Meng Haisheng looked out the window.
There was a slight noise outside the iron gate, and a pair of hands stretched out from the railing.
The iron lock was inside the door, and people outside could only reach in with their hands to touch it, but they couldn't see it.
The hands touched the shape of the iron lock, pulled it, and started to fiddle with it.
Meng Haisheng was far away, and although he couldn't see clearly, he vaguely guessed that the other party should be a master of unlocking.
Sure enough, in less than a minute, the big iron lock was opened from the outside.
The iron gate was slowly pushed open, and a figure flashed in.
The man looked around very vigilantly. Meng Haisheng and a few others quickly hid behind the window.
There was a row of guest rooms on the first floor of the guesthouse, and almost every room had its windows open., but most of them have anti-theft windows, only the two closest to the inside do not have them.
The person who came in strolled around the yard. He first looked at a few trucks. If there were any loaded goods, he would use a knife to cut open the tarpaulin to see what was inside.
When he came to Meng Haisheng's truck, he couldn't open it because it was a box-type truck, so he wanted to pry open the iron lock on the tail of the truck to see.
Meng Haisheng and his men didn't dare to let him touch the iron lock, and immediately heard Meng Haisheng roar.
"Who is walking in the yard at night?"
Meng Haisheng flipped out of the window and ran straight to the truck.
When the thief saw someone coming out, he knew that someone was watching the car.
He didn't want to fight, so he ran away.
Meng Haisheng didn't chase him, but frowned and looked outside the gate.
He didn't expect that there were five or six tall and heavy men standing outside the gate.
They were not afraid of being discovered by Meng Haisheng. They stood at the gate for a while. When Lin Jinyan and Lin Jinhui came out, they left slowly.
"Fortunately, we have many people. If only one person came out, these thieves might dare to rob."
Lin Jinyan's face turned very ugly. These thieves were so arrogant. They were probably a group of desperate criminals.
"Everyone, don't sleep. Watch the car together."
"Okay, I'll go to the boss of the guesthouse to ask."
Meng Haisheng turned and went to the boss's room. Fang Zheng in the guesthouse was sleeping soundly at this time. He was pushed by Meng Haisheng and sat up straight with a start.
"Hey, Boss Meng, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Boss Fang, someone just pried open the lock of the gate. Do you have a stronger one here? Oh, and your guard dog was poisoned to death."
Boss Fang took a look at the lock in Meng Haisheng's hand and stood up.
"It must be the bastard surnamed Wei who did it. That guy is quite capable. Ordinary iron locks can't stop him. I'll go get a few more."
Boss Fang turned around and went to the warehouse, and directly took out an iron chain and a box of large iron locks.
He took the things and wrapped the iron door at the entrance of the courtyard from top to bottom, and hung more than a dozen large iron locks before stopping.
"I don't believe that the surnamed Wei can open them all for me one by one."
No matter how careful you are, there will be a sound when opening the iron chain. Boss Fang tied this iron chain not to stop the thief from coming in, but to serve as a warning.
After tying the iron chain, Boss Fang took a look at the two dead dogs in the corner, and his heart was even more depressed.
"I finally raised the two puppies, and they were poisoned to death. You surnamed Wei, don't fall into my hands, otherwise I will kill you directly."
