rthern faction includes professions such as eyepatch-wearers, rice sellers, laborers, logistical staff, and freelance tomb robbers.In contrast, the southerners' methods are different. The person respo..."Stop, let me say something," Hong Jie seemed to have come out of her previous emotional state.

"What are you guys doing, writing and drawing here It's useless. Big Brother, I ask you, what was the purpose of our trip here"

"Find the second-in-command," the big boss replied crisply.

"Did you find it"

The boss shook his head despondently.

But his expression changed immediately.

"We didn't find the second one, but we found this instead.

"Look," the boss pulled out half a cigarette butt from his pocket.

The cigarette butt was dilapidated, and Yixi could still see the brand name on it.

Five golden flowers.

These are five golden flower brand cigarettes.

The boss pointed to the cigarette butt in his hand and said, "Only the second brother smokes this brand. I knew it before. This kind of Wudou Jinhua cigarettes are popular in Beijing and Hebei, but you hardly see them in the south. They are regional cigarettes."

">

I know about this.

Back then, regional cigarettes were popular in northern areas, such as Guanling cigarettes, Siqishi cigarettes, Yingbin cigarettes, Baishi Forest, Hong Zhuan Erdai, Houwang brand cigarettes, Jasmine brand cigarettes, and Xiaoxiongmao cigarettes.

Basically, a region is popular with one kind.

What's strange is that the clothes that Aimal and Shanxiao stole before had half a pack of Wudoujinhuaxiang cigarettes, which Chen Jiansheng took away.

This cigarette and the ones Second Brother always smokes are the same, that piece of clothing definitely isn't Sun Lao Er's, because it's very loose and Sun Lao Er is slender, they don't match at all.

Ke Chen Jian-sheng had previously said that within their "zhi guo" (meaning "helping out," a euphemism for organized crime) group, there was someone who died. Chen Jian-sheng stated that the deceased person's favorite cigarette brand was "Wu Duo Jin Hua" (Five Golden Flowers).

If it's a coincidence, then at least two people are smoking this brand of cigarettes.

That is to say, the cigarette butts found by the boss cannot prove that the second brother came here, nor can they prove he is still alive.

Looking at the leader's hopeful eyes, I hesitated several times, unable to bear to tell him the truth.

If the second brother isn't found in the end.

Before that, this jerk of a guy was their source of emotional support.

So I pretended to be happy and surprised, saying: "That's right, big brother! I know, five golden flowers is the brand of cigarettes that second brother usually smokes! He must have been here, and he's still alive, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to smoke, would he"

"Yes, that's right. I think the second brother is still alive too," the eldest said, retracting his cigarette butt and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.

Red Sister also sees through it but chooses not to say anything.

She changed the subject and asked, "Now tell me about your experiences."

"Don't even mention it, I get angry just thinking about it. I told you guys before, in preparation for a special situation, I brought four sticks of dynamite with me."

"

Hong Jie is in charge of team logistics and is more familiar with these things,

Hong Jie nodded. "Firecrackers, number nine, five o'clock. People under my command prepared them. Of course I know about this."

"Well, have you guys tried them How many have you used"

"Well, that's right," Lao San nodded, "I used one. Thanks to this thing, or else my brother and I would be finished!"

"This is a long story, I can't explain it in a few words. I'll tell you when I have time. For now, I'll take you to a place, that place, I think, is related to the main tomb."

"""olding money in your mouth work Is there a time limit Don't let it be that we wake up the corpse later."Bandaging his wounds, Zhao Ye weakly said: "Don't worry, as long as the money is still in our po...
