Chapter 6: My Conspiracy

  We returned to Aryo's house, where his once peaceful home was now filled with people.

  We've just finished laying down the bedding over here, and Aunt Alin has cooked a meal over there, inviting us to come eat. Coincidentally, Cheng Long, who was sent on an errand, has also returned - let's have dinner together.

  "Those two young people really don't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the earth." Cheng Long bit his steamed bun, with a gloomy face: "They thought we were bad guys, wanting to 'privately' swallow their gold nuggets. I took out my gun, only then did they get scared away."

  Lin Ruoyin chattered: "Yong Ge, you've discovered something, now can you finally say it?"

  Zhao Yong waved his hand and said: "Wait a bit, after you finish eating, watch the video by yourselves. When I'm hungry and sleepy, my brain doesn't work well, let's eat first."

  Lin 'female' Xia and others couldn't wait, we were lucky to eat and watch at the same time, and saw Zhao Yong's mobile phone video, where we chatted, laughed, roasted rabbit, and fought.

  Just as Luo San thought the rabbit was roasted, a small and pitch-black figure emerged from nowhere. She was around us, hiding in the gaps between rocks, in the bushes, behind tree trunks... constantly crawling on all fours, wandering around us. Her behavior was strange, never stopping for a moment.

  Suddenly, just as I and Lin Ruoyin were making a ruckus, that small black figure jumped up, its entire body seemingly unaffected by the Earth's gravity, and flew straight onto the treetops.

  "Ah ah ah~" We were shocked at the same time, Lin Ruoyin choked on her rice because she saw the lower body of that small black shadow, and hastily drank a mouthful of tea which scalded her tongue. The beautiful woman was furious.

  Then we saw the figure in the dark crawling on the treetops, behaving very strangely, like a Taoist priest performing an exorcism, shaking all over, dodging left and right.

  At this time, Old Luo invited us three to eat roasted rabbit and also acted as a peacemaker to mediate the dispute.

  Just as Old Luo was getting up and walking towards us, the black shadow on the treetop waved its hand, and the roasted rabbit flew onto the treetop. Then, that small figure took over the roasted rabbit and flew away in the forest, disappearing in an instant...

  At this moment, our faces all look terrible!

  Zhao Yong finished the two bowls of rice, and only then did he let out a comfortable sigh: "Cheng Long is the ace among the ' elite', all these years, he has never said that he can't catch up with someone, but you also saw it, this black shadow, she's a woman, but her movements are more agile than a monkey, and seemingly has some kind of ghostly power!"

  Wu Mingkai's face was ashen: "I never used to believe in ghosts and gods, but seeing this black shadow, I really can't explain it. She seems to be able to fly, grab things out of thin air, and has a dog-like nose!"

  "What an aberration!" was all we could say.

  Luo San thought to himself: "Nowadays, we should cut off our connection with the local troops. If they ask us questions, we'll just pretend to be snakes, pulling each other's skin or plotting against each other in secret."

  Zhao Yong nodded in agreement: "Leave the matters on that side to you, our task here is to focus all our efforts on dealing with that freak, and as soon as possible retrieve the Golden Light Azure Buddha, striving to return early to hand over the mission."

  "What's this? How can we do that? We have to go and catch it too!" Lin Ruoyin was very dissatisfied, continuing to make futile efforts.

  And after I finished eating, I was too lazy to listen to her nagging, so I went back and dozed off, thinking about how to investigate the non-existent case tomorrow, and then took a big nap.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, the next day, Luo Sansi led the team, consisting of me, Lin Ruoyin, Jiang Yi, and translators Sun Licheng and Sun Liwei, two brothers.

  Back in camp, our mood is relaxed. You love to talk or not, if we don't, we're just dragging it out, anyway, we have plenty of time.

  Lin Ruo-yin's white 'legs' and Jiang Yi's classical long dress, the scenery is quite beautiful. Those warriors who were training on the 'exercise' field had their eyeballs constantly hooked away, provoking Zheng Wen-lou to roar with anger repeatedly!

  Lao Luo pretended to be Japanese, with a bad attitude, and together with the two girls and Sun Liwei, they pushed all the tasks onto me.

  "Brother Dong Ruan, Zheng Wenlou's training for the warriors is indeed very rigorous!" The usually taciturn Sun Licheng translated and explained beside me.

  Ruan Dong sat idly with me under the shade of a tree: "That hammer is stimulated, last time he led the team and didn't catch the wild man, isn't this pulling practice to death?"

  I have some speculations: "How come you three are in a row, but only he is leading the training team? It seems like neither of you two is really in charge?"

  "Can't be helped~" Dong Shen's expression was helpless: "He has a background, now all the opportunities to make achievements are given to him, we can only play supporting roles."

  So it seems that this is similar to our custom of yielding to leaders, after all, there are commonalities between the two countries.

  I'll come here later and find some contradictions, I have to gain something.

  At this time, Ruan Dong's face turned red and asked: "Does Lin Ruoyin have a boyfriend?"

  "Hmm?" A sinister plan surged up in his mind, and a sly smile must have flashed across his lips: "Brother, do you know why we're here to investigate the case?"

  Ruan Dong was taken aback after hearing the translation: "Aren't you friends of Kun's, coming to help?"

  I chuckled and said, "We can be considered friends, I suppose. The reason we came here is because two big beauties 'fell in love' with the commander who was leading the soldiers on patrol, the majestic Zheng Wenhao."

  "What!" Ruan Dong's face turned beet red with envy, his eyes fixed intently on the direction where Zheng Wenlou was.

  I patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Look at those two, dressed like that, flirting and throwing coy glances at the soldiers. Can't you understand? Never mind, those rich family's noble daughters, girls who haven't been around men before, they just like to show off in front of tough guys. Let's continue investigating the case."

  I finished speaking, Sun Licheng stuttered while translating, his suspicious gaze kept darting towards me.

  "Many columns, a few centimeters of wooden puppet?" Ruan Dong was very excited after hearing this, and he hastily asked Sun Licheng. The two of them chattered on for a long time!

  Then, I saw Ruan Dong's scorching gaze, as if he wanted to see through Lin Ruoyin's cowboy pants. When he turned his head towards Zheng Wenlou, his body was filled with icy hostility.

  "Ah~" Sun Licheng said in a low voice: "The women here have a lot of emotional experience, as long as there are foreigners who spend money, the women are willing to take off their pants and do it with them. So, the noble pure young lady you mentioned is very attractive to Ruan Dong."

  At this moment, I'm really worried that if Lin Ruoyin finds out, she'll definitely kick me to death with her Buddha Mountain No Shadow Kick!

  Brother Yong, you guys must hurry up and catch that freak, retrieve the Golden Light Blue Buddha. Let's get going quickly, or else my life won't be guaranteed!

  At this time, Ruan Dong patted me on the shoulder and talked about Zheng Wenlou from head to toe!

  I learned in detail that Zheng Wenlou's father was an official, his mother was a carriage seller, and their family was very wealthy. The people around him thought he would have a good life from birth, but although he appeared to be strong on the surface, behind his back he was no better than any other man.

  For example, behind our barracks, Zheng Wenlou kept a beautiful "girl", who would occasionally go back to sleep with him. The small courtyard also had a Toyota Land Cruiser, and two of the world's most ferocious pitbulls. Their life was extremely luxurious, which was completely at odds with their simple military camp.

  And at this time, Ruan Dong also began to suspect that it might be the noble birth of Zheng Wengao, eager to get the golden light blue Buddha's wealth!

  After this incident, I realized that the suspicious tactics I thought were invincible are actually useless in front of vinegar, and the essence of the plot to sow discord is indeed unmatched!

  In this way, I spent a day "mixing" on the surface with great care and diligence.

  As Captain Zhao Yong and his men returned empty-handed, I went back to the camp again the next day.

  This morning while I was strolling around the campsite, Wu Mengtuan intentionally or unintentionally bumped into me and asked: "Comrade detective, do you know if you've found out anything?"

  After Sun Licheng's translation, I flipped through the manuscript and said, "There is no conclusive clue, but there are two people who are suspicious."

  "Oh? Which two?" Wu Mengtuan's eyes were burning with intensity. Perhaps Zhao Yong was right, this person absolutely wasn't the murderer.

  However, I insisted on making something out of it: "The first one is Chen De Liang, because only you and he have the most contact with the key, and he has been obstructing various people from handling the case. Moreover, he may not like you very much."

  "What's this? How can you say such a thing?" Wu Mengtuan's dark face was full of puzzlement.

  I spread out my hands and said: "Everyone in the army knows that if you are demoted because of this matter, he will definitely become a battalion commander."

  "This can't be!" Wu Mengtuan's decisive reply was followed by his muttering to himself, "A'liang wouldn't do such a thing, could it be because of Xiaoyue?"

  "Who is Xiaoyan?" Without me saying a word, Sun Licheng asked on one side and explained on the other.

  Wu Meng's eyebrows were heavy with thought, and he shook his head again: "Xiao Yun is my daughter-in-law, and also Ah Liang's college classmate."

  "The fire of Bagua in the chest cavity is burning fiercely. I came with interest: "Can you elaborate on the relationship between the three of you?"

  Wu Mengtuan thought for a moment and said, "The relationship between Ah Liang and Xiao Yu is like yours with Lin Ruoyin - not lovers, but somewhat ambiguous. The three of us met while eating together, then I married Xiao Yu, while Ah Liang and his 'girlfriend' were together until they broke up in the end, and he still hasn't married a woman."

  Creeping chill... Am I and Lin Ruoyin being ambiguous? If this gets out in the provincial hall, I'm done for, Director Lin will definitely have me pack up and go home to eat my own cooking. Cough... gotta be careful from now on!

  Wu Mengtuan said, "The three of us are like you and Lin Ruoyin, Jiang Yi. We were good friends, but after two people got together, the one left behind was isolated. Maybe Ah Liang did some stupid things because of this... I really hope it wasn't him."

  Ahhh~~~~ How can there still be Jiang Yu, I don't want to end up like Wu Tao, a dead person drifting alone on the Yellow River, the corpse swelling up - it's too scary!

  It's okay, I'm nervous about nothing, these Vietnamese people don't know that Zhang Mian is my 'girl' friend.

  Scaring yourself for no reason.

  I calmed down and asked: "This kind of thing can easily lead to a rift in friendship, so when you confessed to Xiao Yu, did you ask Chen De Liang's opinion?"

  Wu Mengtuan laughed after hearing this: "I jokingly asked him, and I still remember Ah Liang's expression was very awkward at the time, but he nodded in agreement. Xiaoyan is very pretty, so I went directly to her home to give betrothal gifts, passed the test of her family and friends, and then we got married."

  At that time, Sun Licheng explained to me: "In Vietnam, not only do you have to pass the parents' test, but also relatives and friends. To put it bluntly, if everyone agrees after being given money, in most cases, the 'girl' will marry without hesitation."

  At this point, I solemnly said: "Before the facts are clarified, you must pay attention to your own safety. We will find out who the thief is as soon as possible."

  As I was about to leave, Wu Mengtuan hastily stopped me: "Thank you for reminding me, I'll be careful. So, you haven't mentioned the second suspect yet?"

  "This point, let me keep it a secret for now and tell you another day." I smiled mysteriously and turned to leave. If there's any news, of course, it has to be dragged out slowly, otherwise how can we kill time?

  I'm addicted to teasing and provoking others, can't stop myself, went to find Chen De Liang, hey~~
