Chapter 17 Exploring the Old Building
Sun Lu smiled, glanced at me again, and then turned to face the camera, lowered his face and said:
"My name is Sun Lu, and I am currently a member of the Forensic Science Department of the Pinggu County Public Security Bureau, and my police officer number is XXXXXX. I am now appearing on camera to accompany my friend and my immediate boss, Xu Xu, police officer number XXXXXX...... I accompanied him to his family's ancestral home in a private capacity to look for the relics left to him by his grandfather. If I do anything against the law during this time, please call the police immediately! ”
When he said the last two sentences, his fists were already clenched.
I can understand his anger, Lu Zhen's current actions are completely out of self-preservation.
Although this seems to us to be very nonsense.
But at the same time, as active forensic doctors and serving police officers, we all feel deeply insulted.
"Malegobi, I'm afraid that she died inexplicably, and we can't tell if we have a mouth." Sun Lu turned his head and rolled his eyes and muttered.
I raised the corners of my mouth: "Each has his own life, and everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door!" ”
Sun Lu turned his face to look around again, "If you want to say that this palm-sized place really can't hide anything, you can just say how to find it." ”
He rubbed his nose, turned his face to Lu Zhen and said, "Hey, barrister, please advise, if the two of us act separately now, what will you do?" ”
While this is obviously a joke, I'm also curious to know the answer.
Lu Zhen did not hesitate, and even said in an official tone: "The property rights of the house do not belong to you, now except for the house, everything here is mine, here, without my permission, you act without permission, it is illegal." ”
Sun Lu and I looked at each other speechlessly, and in the end, as the leader of the trio of 'Woe Lu Xi', and I am also the person with the highest official title at present, I finally made the judgment that I think is the most correct and the least detoured.
Sun Lu and I took a step back at the same time, opened a gap in front of the door, and made a gesture to Lu Zhen at the same time: "Listen to you!" You please! ”
I really admire Lu Zhen a little, she is a ruthless character.
Take a firm stand, insist on advocacy, and be fearless for the sake of self-interest while ensuring their own safety.
Watching her open the door with the key, and seeing the room through her shoulder, I suddenly froze.
Without waiting for Sun Tuzi to say more, I told him:
"I asked my grandfather where I was born. He said, "Before this great scourge of mine was thrown at him again, I lived in a place that the people of the countryside could not look down on." ”
"That's, here...... My kitchen is bigger than this living room. However, our grandfather is still very simple, he doesn't know that in this small building, just these furniture are worth the money of the old nose. Sun Lu said as he touched a quaint shelf closest to the door.
Lu Zhen closed her eyes, and after opening her eyes, she said in a rather tired tone: "Although the furniture in this house is a bit old, it is all imitated in recent decades, and it is not really antique furniture. ”
"Really? I looked at this is all furniture from the Ming Dynasty, and asked if it was priced? How much is the whole set of the circle chairs with strips on the door? Sun Lu asked vaguely.
"Offer four thousand, these are not good wood......"
Lu Zhen subconsciously answered halfway, only to realize that she had been trapped, her face swelled into the color of pig liver, and she bit her lower lip and stopped talking.
"Looks like you're really short of money."
I shook my head and tried to pull one of the cable switches next to the door.
"Let's go!"
The incandescent light bulb overhead actually lit up.
Lu Zhen said: "I was listed in the intermediary before, and in order to facilitate the viewing of the house, I paid the electricity bill and connected the electricity. ”
Sun Lu originally wanted to say something to her, but after looking at my face, he changed his voice and whispered to me:
"It's all over here, and if it's here, it's either buried in the ground or in the wall."
I asked Lu Zhen to take us to continue to check.
The first half of the first half of the first floor is a small bedroom, which is also a furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties, with only a bed, a bookcase by the back window, and a chair in front of the desk.
Through the narrow aisle, open the back door, and outside is a tiny backyard.
Lu Zhen may still be a little nervous, and she has nothing to say to introduce to us, the two and a half large water tanks on the stone in the corner of the wall, when she came back for the first time, there were bowls of lotus leaves in it, and now there was only the sewage accumulated during the rain and snow.
Along the back wall of the house, there is a staircase leading to the second floor, and the small space below the staircase is the kitchen.
Sun Lu asked, "There is no thatched house in this courtyard?" ”
Lu Zhen brushed her hair, "Ronghua said that he has been going to the public toilet at the mouth of the alley since he was a child. ”
"Even if the furniture in the house is imitation, it is exquisite enough, and the layout in this house can be regarded as the decoration of the landlord and the old rich man in the old society. Even if it's a vassal elegance, get a room of fake antique furniture...... Go to the public toilet... What kind of person is this family......"
Sun Tuzi looked at me, swallowed dryly, took back most of the doubtful words in his stomach, and spread his hands at me, "There's nothing downstairs, go upstairs?" ”
This is a tube building, and the second floor is barely divided into one and a half rooms, with a bedroom inside, and the outer half of the room is arranged to look like a study.
If there is any incongruity, it is a few things on the desk of the same Ming and Qing Dynasty outside.
An old abacus, an old-fashioned electronic calculator, and two pieces of iron painted with blue paint on the surface, bent inwards at the bottom.
For those who are a little older, it is a simple stand for putting books on the table.
"This is Ronghua's room."
"This floor is where Xu Ronghua lives." I said almost at the same time as Lu Zhen.
I ignored Lu Zhen and explained to Sun Lu: "Xu Ronghua is an accountant, and these things are in line with his era and profession at that time. ”
After looking inside and out two or three times, Sun Lu said to me: "All the furniture in this building is old style, and there are few with drawers. I thought, didn't people in the early years hide valuables in those big wooden boxes, there are no boxes here. You say, could it be ......?"
He suddenly slapped his thigh, "Alas, if this is a larger courtyard, if there is a well in the courtyard, we can also go down and explore." It's just such a big place, what is it that you see, what is there, where is there anything special? Otherwise, we really tear down the wall? Or dig three feet into the ground? Why don't you smash all these fake antique furniture open and see what's inside? ”
"Do you ask the owner if he is willing?" I looked at Lu Zhen obliquely.
Lu Zhen stood at the door and gritted her teeth, raised her head and shook at the two of us, "I have already sold this house, you can move things ......"
"What the is that?" Sun Lu glared, "Then that's it, it's nothing!" ”
I said, "I haven't finished reading it yet." ”
"Huh?" Sun Lu was stunned, "Where else?" ”
I walked out of the outhouse with my neck bent, turned around, raised my hand and pointed upward.
Lu Zhen was completely stunned.
Sun Lu definitely knew my temperament, looked up and said, "You don't think things are on the roof, do you?" ”
In order to save internal space, the staircase of the old house was built on the outside, and when you reach the second floor, you can enter the room on a small corner platform of less than two square meters.
I took two steps in three steps, ran downstairs, ran to the stone platform water tank in the corner, picked up a bamboo ladder there, and moved to the second floor.
Lu Zhen looked at the ladder, frowned and said to me, "This ladder is broken like this, can it still be used?" Don't fall down again! ”
"What if something is actually on it?" I didn't look back, and while I put my hand on the cross brace to test the bearing weight, I asked her, "Why don't you go find someone to borrow a ladder now?" ”
Lu Zhen's 'tenacity' defeated me again.
Instead of taking my 'advice' and bothering to find another way, she gritted her teeth and watched as I trembled up the almost rotten bamboo staircase to the top.
Then, without hesitation, he climbed up.
However, when she reached out from the ladder and tried to get me to pick her up, I had already walked briskly to the side and shouted at the bottom:
"Butcher! Call the police! We can't handle this! ”
