Returning to the section of the river where the hunter's cabin is located, the three brothers landed on the other side this time. After landing, Shi Quan climbed over a low stone mountain based on the clues he asked, and more than a dozen dilapidated concrete houses appeared.

within sight.

"According to the shop owner, almost all the people who lived here were loggers working for forest farms. Later, the forest farms were abandoned one after another. Some moved to larger gathering areas upstream, and some were lucky enough to follow like Xinya.

Part of Europe or the next forest area.”

"Let's search every house." After Shi Quan said this, he picked a house at random and used the crowbar borrowed from the boat to open the rusty door lock.

The inside and outside of the door seem to be completely different from two eras. Although the valuable things have been moved away, the clear marks of the times still remain on what was discarded here.

After a brief walk around, Shi Quan reluctantly quit and changed rooms. The three brothers spent more than an hour carefully walking around and found more than a dozen houses. The only discovery was from the house closest to the edge.

Just half a bottle of Volga brand vodka.

This is the same brand as the wine bottle cap they found in the cave that morning. It is almost certain that the custodian or his accomplice must have been here.

But except for the half bottle of vodka, the whole house was as clean as if it had been cleaned. It was clean in the true sense. There were still some expired impurities left in other houses, but this house

It was like a model room, with only cold and discarded furniture and simple tableware.

Big Ivan picked up a small piece of metal with brownish red rust from the corner of the fireplace, "This seems to be a hairpin, right?"

"Although we haven't found any valuable clues yet, at least we are now more and more certain that there is a woman beside the custodian."

Big Ivan nodded in agreement, "As long as we can find that woman, maybe we can find those diamonds."

"I think you can ask Andre to ask if there are any legendary female tycoons in their wealthy circles after 1992. Maybe that is the clue we are looking for." Shi Quan joked.

"Quanzi! Come and help! There is a metal reaction here!" He Tianlei, who was responsible for using a metal detector to look for clues outside the door, shouted loudly.

"Right away!" Shi Quan heard this and quickly called for Big Ivan to follow him.

When the Shi Quan brothers ran out, He Tianlei pointed to the rectangular outline drawn on the ground at the door of the room and said, "There is something buried underneath, it's very big."

"Dig it out and take a look!" The three brothers looked at each other and in tacit agreement, they pulled out the engineering shovel and started digging.

The slightly moist soil was dug up with shovels, and an oval metal outline was gradually revealed under the fertile black soil.

"This seems to be a diesel barrel, right?" Shi Quan tapped the rusty iron shell with the tip of a shovel, making a dull sound. It seemed that there should be a lot of things in it.

"You'll find out when you dig it out. Maybe those diamonds are in here." Big Ivan waved the shovel vigorously and lifted up pieces of soil.

You're just thinking shit

Shi Quan nodded in agreement with a smile on his face, and secretly curled his lips.

The diesel barrel was not deep and was only less than 20 centimeters from the surface. It took the three people less than ten minutes to dig out an outline that was larger than the lying diesel barrel.

Big Iwan threw away the shovel and called to He Tianlei to try to lift the diesel barrel. Unexpectedly, the diesel barrel was so heavy. Shi Quan quickly dropped the shovel and stepped forward to help. The three brothers lifted and pried the almost rusted diesel barrel.

He was finally lifted out of the pit where he was buried.

After standing up the lying diesel barrel, He Tianlei took the initiative to step forward and said, "You two stay away, I'll do it."

This is the money he earned. He Tianlei couldn't find a reason to back down and didn't want to find one. He knew very well what Shi Quan had brought him for, and he knew even better what he should do.

"Be careful."

Shi Quan patted He Tianlei on the shoulder, and he and Da Yiwan retreated slightly and hid behind a cement house and waited quietly.

After waiting for about ten minutes, listening to the metal friction sound of "Carikala" in my ears, I saw He Tianlei, who had carefully opened the lid, took two steps back and sat on the ground.

"Leizi, what happened?"

Shi Quan hurried over and immediately smelled a strange smell of corruption.

"There are people in there, two."

He Tianlei's face was a little pale. This was not because of his poor psychological quality. The main reason was that no matter who opened the oil drum with the hope of finding diamonds but suddenly saw the corpse, he would be shocked.

Shi Quan first pulled He Tianlei up, and then focused on the opened diesel barrel.

Even though they were prepared beforehand, Shi Quan and Da Yiwan were shocked by what they saw.

Sitting in the diesel barrel was a woman who was completely naked and had turned into wax. The woman was surrounded by burned waste cinders. In the woman's arms was curled up an equally insignificant man who looked to be six or seven years old at most.

Stupid child!

But whether they are women or children, there is a bullet hole as thick as a finger between their eyebrows!

"Isn't this the same Xinya?"

Big Ivan swallowed and asked, "Don't tell me the diamonds are in here too!"

Shi Quan sighed and shook his head, took two steps back, took out a cigarette and lit one for himself. Although he had dug up countless corpses from both the Soviet and German sides in the past two years, including many waxed mummies, but this one in the diesel barrel

There is an essential difference between the two. Because they did not die in war at all, but in murder!

On the other side, Big Ivan hesitated for a moment, and finally sighed and took out the action camera from his bag. He first took a few close-ups of the diesel barrel, and then handed the action camera to He Tianlei to indicate to aim at the diesel barrel, while he himself

Take out the gloves and mask from your bag and put them on.

Carefully putting the diesel barrel down, Big Ivan held the barrel and shook it from side to side to loosen everything inside. Finally, he gently lifted the bottom of the barrel and carefully poured out the large and small contents.

The action camera in He Tianlei's hand was still shooting. At this time, Shi Quan also finished smoking and came over to help.

The two of them used the engineer shovel to sort out the two crouched corpses and the waste cinders bit by bit, and then used the engineer shovel to carefully crush the picked out cinders piece by piece under the lens of the action camera.

However, until the end, the brothers found nothing.

"Yuri, do you think it's possible?"

As Big Ivan spoke, he cast his greedy eyes on the two remaining corpses at the scene.

"I said you've had enough!"

Shi Quan frowned, "Why don't you find it disgusting? Just think about it and you know it's impossible."

Big Ivan circled around the female corpse, and finally squatted down and took out a wet wipe and carefully wiped the earlobe of the female corpse.

"Yuri, it seems that this must be Mr. Custodian's accomplice."

Big Ivan took off his rubber gloves and threw them away, then took out his mobile phone and took a close-up of the rusty sunflower earring on the left earlobe of the female corpse.

"Okay, let's leave the investigation of the truth to the Moscow police officer!"

Shi Quan took out the largest garbage bag from his everlasting pocket, "Old rules, although no one paid this time."

"You are in charge of the little one, just leave this 'sexy' lady to me."

Big Ivan put on a new pair of gloves, took the oversized garbage bag handed over by Shi Quan and put it on the shrunken lady. In the process, he pressed his hands on the shriveled abdominal cavity without leaving any trace.

As for Shi Quan, he would not do such a disgusting thing. He skillfully put the plastic bag up and tightened the seal to complete the final work of collecting the body.

"You come and notify Andre and ask him to contact his employer to arrange for someone to come and deal with it. This line is broken."

Shi Quan pointed at the two corpses, "We may be able to find some clues by following them, but this is not something that the three of us can do. This requires the help of official power."

In the end, he reluctantly took two photos with his mobile phone. Big Ivan nodded in agreement and said, "Let's carry them into the house."

Shi Quan nodded, and the brothers sent the two bodies back to the room through garbage bags, and then blocked the doors and windows with a few pieces of furniture.

Instructing He Tianlei to turn off the action camera, the three brothers left the gathering area that had been abandoned for many years with different expressions.

On Ivorshiv's cargo ship, Big Ivan briefly described the situation via satellite phone.

Ignoring the surprise in his father-in-law's tone, Big Ivan hung up the phone proudly, "Leave the rest of the wine to your employer. I hope they can find out something else. Yuri, should we go back or continue?"

"Of course continue!"

Shi Quan said matter-of-factly, "How many days have you been here? I'm just idle when I go back. I treat it as a vacation, and I haven't visited the two spots I circled yet."

"Then continue!"

Big Ivan happily ran into the cabin to greet Captain Ivoshiv and drive to the next point. The two points identified by Shiquan were not close, they were both near Yakutsk, and they were more than 500 meters away from their current location.

kilometer.

On land, this distance could only be reached in six or seven hours by car, but it would take a full day of continuous sailing around the clock on Captain Ivoshiv's cargo ship.

Fortunately, none of the three brothers were in a hurry. Big Ivan even said that as long as they could arrive within three days, it would be fine. During the rest of the time, if there were large gathering areas along the way, they could stop briefly to rest and enjoy the local delicacies.

Seeing this, Captain Ivoshiv simply set the ship's docking point for the day at Oryok-Minsk, more than 100 kilometers downstream.

According to Captain Ivoshev’s introduction, this city is one of the few large cities along the Lena River. The most famous local thing is the omul that can be eaten in various ways.

The fishing industry is also the only pillar industry left after this small city built on permafrost has exhausted its gold mines.

The old but powerful cargo ship sailed slowly on the Lena River. The three brothers stood on the deck each holding a fishing rod and enjoying the refreshing breeze.

Compared with the carefree life of the three of them, Ludenkov, who was far away in Moscow, had to face Andrei's ruthless ridicule on the phone.

"Ludenkov, dear Comrade Ludenkov."

There was a strange accent in Andre's tone, "I really didn't expect that the famous Ludenkov would also make mistakes."

"The metal detectors of our time couldn't find anything as small as an earring."

"Don't explain, it's like I've never used a metal detector, and there's no shame in losing to young people."

Seeing his old friend making a fool of himself, Andre became in a very good mood, "This commission is considered complete if I make the decision. After all, I am also a shareholder of the club. The remuneration you should pay cannot be less. In addition, you will also join when they come back."

Come in."

"Of course it's no problem to join the club." Ludenkov agreed nonchalantly.

Excellent product, thank you brothers for your help,
Chapter completed!
