C1809 Find the Root(2)
The furnishings in the room were very old, and it suited the living conditions of a single father and son! The hygiene conditions were not very good either. In short, they could barely live in it!
Old Zhao led the group into a room on the left side of the door. When he opened the door, he saw a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old sitting in front of the window, carving white bones in his hands!
"Dad, you're back!"
Hearing the sound of the door opening, the young man Zhao Heng naturally raised his head to look at his father, but he was shocked by the four people behind his father!
"This... Father, who are these people?"
In Faang Cheng's opinion, zhao Heng's reaction was a little exaggerated. However, he did not say anything. He just looked at Zhao Heng with a smile and continued to listen to him!
"This is the official of the Prefecture. He came here because he has something to ask you! Don't be afraid. Whatever the official asks, just answer truthfully!"
Old Zhao was also comforting his son. Both of them were ordinary citizens. When they saw the officials, they would naturally be nervous!
"Oh, what do you want to ask... Just ask!"
Zhao Heng said carefully!
"Okay!"
Song Qingran nodded, then signaled Captain Sun to ask!
"Did you make all the ornaments on the cart outside?"
Captain Sun asked directly.
Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment, then he nodded with a puzzled expression on his face.
"Yeah, that ornament... What's wrong?"
He asked in confusion!
"Then... where did the ornament bone come from?"
Captain Sun continued to ask!
"Bones?"
Hearing this, zhao Heng was even more confused. But then, as if he had thought of something, he immediately became nervous!
"The bones are... They were picked up in the mountains! We will reimburse you for the mountain entrance fee. It's not that I don't want to pay the mountain entrance fee, it's just that the mountain entrance fee is too expensive..."
"We're not here to investigate the entrance fee! Besides... we just told the old man that the entrance fee is against the rules. There is no need for you to pay that fee! However, regarding the mountain entrance fee, we will settle it later. What I want to ask now is... Where did you find those bones that you made the pendants!?"
Captain Sun went straight to the point!
When Zhao Heng heard Captain Sun's words, he first expressed his joy at the matter of the "mountain fee not being in accordance with the rules." When he heard this sentence, his face clearly revealed a smile. However, when he heard Captain Sun ask him where the bones came from, he returned to a confused expression!
"There are a lot of such bones in the mountains and forests. There are a lot of such bones in the mountains and forests. Is there something wrong with it?"
As Zhao Heng spoke, he looked at the half-carved bone in his hand. After looking at it for a long time, he did not find anything wrong with it!
When Captain Sun heard his words, he could not help but turn his head to look at Song Qingran. His consciousness was very clear. It was just that this Zhao Heng did not seem to know anything. Looking at his behavior, it did not seem like he was lying!
Song Qingran nodded, indicating for him to continue asking!
"Then do you remember when and where you picked up this batch of bones in your hands? Did anything special happen when you picked up these bones? "
Captain Sun asked about the specific situation.
When Zhao Heng heard this question, his eyes gradually became somewhat blurred, as if he was recalling the time when he went into the deep mountains to pick up those bones.
"En... I remember! This batch of bones was picked up by me recently, it's been about half a month! I remember that I secretly went in through that gap in the west! That's a small path that I recently found. I didn't need to pay the mountain fee to go in and pick up bones, hunting rabbits and pheasants! I remember that I didn't pick up many bones after walking for a long time. I only picked up two drawings and a pheasant! Originally, I was depressed and wanted to go home! However, I suddenly realized that there was movement in a dense forest not far in front of me. I thought that it was a wild hare or boar, so I was especially happy and chased after it. In the end, I found some bones in the forest. Those bones... look like the bones of a large animal! But I'm not too sure, because the people who make the ornaments usually don't go back to hunting. Basically, they pick up the bones and go back! Whatever they pick up, they are what they are. I don't see those bones as eye candy. But they should be the bones of orangutan, panther, or the big monkey in the mountains, so I picked them up! What I didn't expect was... I walked along the distribution of the bones and actually discovered so many! To me, this is simply a huge fortune! So that day... my basket wasn't able to contain it at all. In the end, I took off my clothes and brought back even more bones!"
Because there were so many bones that day... Thus, zhao Heng remembered the events of that day very clearly!
"Yeah, when my son came back that day, he gave me a scare and brought back so many bones! We were very happy that day and even specially added some food and drinks that night!"
Old Zhao nodded and said!
Hearing Zhao Heng and Old Zhao's words, everyone looked at each other.
Song Qingran thought for a moment, then took a step forward and took the initiative to speak!
"Zhao Heng, if you take us into the mountain now, will you be able to find the place where you found those bones before?"
When Zhao Heng heard Song Qingran's words, he couldn't help but be stunned. He looked at his father, old Zhao, in confusion. Although Old Zhao didn't know what Song Qingran and the others were up to, after all, they were government officials. They asked Zhao Heng to bring them to search for the bones. He could only agree!
Thus, old Zhao nodded at his son.
"Alright! I'm familiar with that mountain. I should be able to find it after going in!"
Seeing his father nod his head, zhao Heng also nodded his head and said very obediently!
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you to bring us into the mountain to look for it!"
Captain Sun immediately nodded his head!
At this moment, a member of the city protection team who was checking the bones outside walked in and whispered into Song Qingran's ear!
"City Lord, some of the bones outside are indeed human bones, and the rest are the bones of various animals!"
"Alright!"
Song Qingran nodded, indicating that she understood!
"Alright, then the matter is more urgent. Let's do it now. Let's go!"
He looked at Zhao Heng and said very directly to him!
" Then... alright! "
Zhao Heng also nodded in agreement. As he found his basket backpack, he put some tools inside.
"Hehe, since we're going to enter the mountain once, let's see if there's anything we can pick up along the way!"
He smiled in a simple and honest manner, then took the lead to walk out of his room's door!
When he saw that his son was simply following the members of the city protection squad out, old Zhao could not help but feel a little worried!
