When Captain Garlic reposted the herdsman's words, an indescribable expression appeared on his face.

It was a kind of expression of guilt and regret. After learning about this situation, he must have hated why he could not investigate so much in depth and why he had to make a judgment in such haste.

Because this sentence at least proves one thing, the two people, one tall and one short, have other partners, and there are more than one partner.

This fundamentally overturned the judgment that Wen Mushan and his wife were robbed.

However, in that era, due to the backward criminal investigation technology and the incomplete procedures, many unjust, false and wrong cases were also caused.

"Later, I asked the herdsman why he didn't tell the police about this when reporting the case. What do you think he said?"

“How to say it?”

"He said, he said everything he said when he called the police."

"How could I ignore this sentence?"

"Alas, because the superiors issued a reward notice to collect clues from the Xiye Archaeological Team at that time, and the police who took the transcripts were eager to make contributions, they actually ignored this sentence. How to describe it looks like Wen Mushan, they sorted out the transcripts and reported it.

"The task force was too busy at that time and didn't have time to hike and run into the valley to ask the person involved, so one sentence turned out to be a big mistake!"

"What happened later?"

"Later, there was no later. The police officer who took the transcript was punished, but his superiors still felt that the evidence was insufficient and he could not start the retrial process for the case - I have retired, I am old and have no words to speak.

"The autumn of the year when I knew about this, I also went to the Yarkand Valley in the same solar term. I carried a tent and walked into the mountains and headed towards the abandoned pasture.

"From the Yarkand River through the valley entrance of Kunlun Mountain, the mountain road is rugged and the cliffs are steep. I stayed on the mountain for a whole night and arrived at the pasture until four o'clock the next afternoon.

"The pasture has been abandoned, but the wooden house is still there. I stood in front of the wooden house and looked down at the foot of the mountain. Finally, I understood why there were only two people coming up at the beginning."

“Is it because the road is difficult to walk?”

"That's right. Because there is only a small path intestine on the ranch, and the snowy mountains are very high. After the snow water melts, it flows down the hillside, so that path is particularly difficult to walk. Most people cannot climb up without training without much physical strength.

"So it became clearer now that there must be more than two people rushing along the river valley at that time, but because they were physically strong, they were sent to eat - what a simple thing was complicated by ourselves."

Looking at Captain Garlic, I also felt a little emotional. Criminal Investigation looks very routine, but in fact, it pays attention to details everywhere. Sometimes a misleading will change the direction, thus making a preconceived wrong judgment.

However, the words of Hualang changed this dull atmosphere.

"Even if those two people have accomplices, they cannot be determined that they are not Wen Mushan and his wife, right? Don't forget that it is not just Wen Mushan and his wife who disappeared in the archaeological team - what if they want to leave Yecheng together and secretly cross the border?"

Captain Garlic was stunned: "Teacher Shen, do you mean that the entire archaeological team, except for the dead Wang Tuda, all the others ran away with Wen Mushan?"

"Isn't it possible?" Hua Yan asked back.

"Hahaha," Captain Garlic suddenly laughed out loud, "Teacher Shen, although this case is still chaotic, there is one thing that is actually very clear, that is, in the days that followed, the relationship between Wen Mushan, Fei Tang, and migrant workers was already very delicate and tense.

"It is not an exaggeration to say that they are in a 'hostile' state, even to the point of collapse. Therefore, Wen Mushan will never cooperate with the employees in Yatuer Village."

I suddenly remembered that when I discovered Wang Tuda's body dissected, I found a swallowed "sorry letter" in his stomach. The content of the letter of help was that Wen Mushan was going to be detrimental to them, imprisoning and torture them.

Although this is a one-sided statement from migrant workers, it is indeed tangible evidence.

So I asked Captain Garlic about asking for help, and he nodded, but said, "Besides that letter, there are actually other clues."

"Other clue? What's going on?"

Captain Garlic filled us with tea, then shook his head and said with a smile: "For cases, the case that the criminal investigation personnel learned is often the tip of the iceberg of the criminal investigation personnel's information. In fact, although we did not find missing persons in the heart of the desert at that time, we found a private diary."

"Whose diary? Is it Wen Mushan's?" I couldn't help but feel excited.

Captain Garlic shook his head: "It's his wife's diary."

"Shu Yun?"

"right!"

“Is there anything in the diary?”

"This, because Shu Yun is also one of the suspects in the case and has not yet been brought to justice, the specific content is still confidential. However, I can tell you the general information of the diary."

...

It turned out that in the late autumn twenty-three years ago, when Shu Yun came to Kalayatur Village alone, and followed Fei Tang, who came to get supplies, into the desert. After she arrived at the camp, she found that there was a strange atmosphere here.

Shu Yun is a teacher, so he has always maintained the habit of keeping a diary.

According to what she recorded in her diary, the archaeological team's camp was not actually settled near the site. On the contrary, it was a distance from the site and needed to ride a camel or drive a car to commute.

This incident itself is a bit unusual. In order to facilitate work, outdoor archaeology chooses to camp near the ruins.

However, Shu Yun also wrote in his diary that Wen Mushan is quite picky about details. Although he did not explain the reason for doing this to his wife, if he was afraid that the hired workers would accidentally destroy and steal cultural relics, it would be understandable to choose a faraway place.

Another strange thing was that Lao Wen and Fei Tang went out in the middle of the night club.

Before Shu Yun came, Wen Mushan and Fei Tang lived in the same tent. After Shu Yun came, Fei Tang took the initiative to move out in order to take care of the couple.

But every second half of the night, Shu Yun found that her husband would get up quietly and sneak out of the tent.

Once, she heard her husband talking to Fei Tang outside the tent. The two of them had a low voice, as if they were discussing something.

Finally one day, during dinner at night, Shu Yun couldn't help asking her husband.

"When you go out in the middle of the night every day, is there anything important?"

She thought her husband would make excuses, but she didn't expect Wen Mushan to answer very happily.

"Oh, I didn't want you to know, because I was afraid that you would worry, and I thought you were sleeping soundly when I changed shifts."
