Yan Jiekuang nodded when he heard the villagers who had rushed over."
"Alright, I'll go over now!"
Then, he left Jia Geng's house and walked towards the brigade headquarters. When he arrived at the brigade headquarters, he looked at Niu Jinbao and said,"
"Captain, you were looking for me!"
Niu Jinbao said,
"I'm not the one looking for you. Chief Gu is looking for you. He has something to ask you!”
Gu Chengping nodded and said,"
"We caught two spies two months ago. After two months, we finally pried open their mouths.
They know that the house you live in is their doing. They are also playing tricks to scare the people in the village!”
Hearing Gu Chengping's words, Yan Jiekuang already knew about it, but he still asked in confusion,"
"Why? I've been living in that house for a few months. To be honest, I've checked it inside and out.
There's nothing. I've checked the cellar and everything else. I've taken everything!”
Gu Chengping shook his head.
"It's not because of the landlord's property. I don't know how they knew. There's a secret passage in that house that leads directly to the outside of the village.
And they wanted to use that house as a stronghold.
If they discovered danger, they could escape immediately. If there were people, the secret passage would be exposed.
That's why they don't want anyone to live there!"
Hearing Gu Chengping's words, Yan Jiekuang was stunned."
"Impossible. I checked the house carefully when I was cleaning up. There can't be any secret passage!”
After Yan Jiekuang finished speaking, a police officer said,"
"Gu Suo, I told you that people definitely wouldn't believe me. The educated youths nowadays are all as cunning as a sieve.
At that time, Yan Zhiqing also had the mentality of picking up the leftovers, right? This idea of yours is unacceptable!"
Yan Jiekuang knew that he had really found a loophole, and a big one at that.
However, how could Yan Jiekuang say it out loud?
Yan Jiekuang shook his head,"
"That house is so big. It only costs five yuan a month. Moreover, it's private.
The house was made of bricks and tiles, so it did not leak. Most importantly, the walls were tall and big, so it was safe. How good was that?
Such a house would cost at least a dozen yuan in the capital.
Of course, I will rent it. As for what I said about it being impossible, that's because I've tidied up this house inside and out. I didn't find anything!”
Seeing Yan Jiekuang's explanation, everyone knew what he meant. Niu Jinbao thought that if there was anything good, he could leave it to him.
That house had been ransacked by the villagers countless times. Even a single copper coin had been dug out from the cracks of the bricks and taken away.
This was also the main reason why Niu Jinbao rented out the house so easily. It was also the reason why the villagers were not envious.
The village was only so big. How could it be left to the educated youths?
Gu Chengping said,"
"Alright, we're not here to discuss this. We're here to talk about the secret passage. The secret passage is under your well.
"So it's understandable that you don't know. I'm here to tell you about this. Also, we plan to seal that secret passage. If there's nothing else, don't go down.
I'm just afraid that if you find out, you'll encounter some danger after entering!”
Hearing Gu Chengping's words, Yan Jiekuang knew that these two people had revealed their secret. However, Yan Jiekuang did not want to interfere in this matter. He nodded and said,"
"Then should we seal the well?"
Gu Chengping shook his head.
"That's not necessary. It's fine as long as you don't go down. The well can still be used, and it's convenient for you to fetch water!”
Yan Jiekuang said,
"That's right. I rented it because I thought it was convenient!”
Gu Chengping then asked,"
"Has anything happened in the past few months?”
Yan Jiekuang shook his head,"
"No, it's pretty good!"
Niu Jinbao said,
"So someone is playing tricks. Damn it, but Yan Zhiqing, you picked it up!
Such a good house was picked up by five yuan. However, since you rented it, as long as you want to rent it, it will always be yours!”
Yan Jiekuang said gratefully,"
"Thank you, Village Chief!"
The courtyard was very big. The vegetables planted in it cost more than five yuan. The other houses cost even more.
However, Yan Jiekuang didn't lack that bit of money, so he didn't want to share the apartment with others.
Niu Jinbao said,
"This was your choice back then. By the way, I won't tell anyone else about this, lest the other educated youths have objections!”
Yan Jiekuang nodded. Even if Niu Jinbao didn't say it, he wouldn't say it either.
Gu Chengping asked about other things that had nothing to do with the case. Then, he let Yan Jiekuang leave.
After Yan Jiekuang left, someone said to Gu Chengping,"
"Inspector Gu!"
Gu Chengping shook his head.
"I can't see clearly. It shouldn't be!"
Niu Jinbao asked,
"Inspector Gu, what's wrong?"
Gu Chengping said,"
"We said we caught two spies. She wasn't caught. Someone knocked her out and sent her here.
I suspect that it's someone from the village. This Yan Jiekuang is the biggest suspect, but it's a good thing after all. He's not a criminal. We can only slowly investigate.
Because the courtyard was haunted that day, the two of them were sent to the police station!
So I thought it was Yan Zhiqing who did it, but it's too unbelievable. If he did it, if you stand up, it'll be a great merit.
But why would he do that?"
