Chapter 1096: Hope Lies Ahead
It's May 5th.
After dinner, Chu Tianqi returned to the office and plugged in the door. Then he went straight into the inner room and lay down on the bed, where he wanted to get a good night's sleep.
The reason why he lies down before it gets dark is that he wants to recharge his energy so that he can be energetic when he moves in the middle of the night. The content of the action is to go to the burning old house with Gao Feng to find out the secrets that Director Gao may have left. He had already made an appointment with the other party before dinner, and he would go there at two o'clock in the morning.
But because it was too early, he couldn't sleep in bed at all, and he couldn't help but think about something.
The day after the old house was burned, Gao Feng told about the fact that someone had secretly visited him many times, and also told him that his father had instructed him not to sell the house. At the same time, Gao Feng asked Chu Tianqi for instructions and went there to squat.
Chu Tianqi understood Gao Feng's thoughts, and knew that Gao Feng wanted to find clues at the scene, so as to find out the arsonist, or wait for the other party to come again, and come to get all the stolen goods. Chu Tianqi also knew that Gao Feng also wanted to find something that his father might be hiding. So at that time, he agreed to Gao Feng's request and told him some precautions.
Although he agreed to Gao Feng to go to the squatting point, Chu Tianqi did not let it go, but was also investigating the case in other ways.
Based on the strange death of Director Gao, as well as Gao Feng's narration, combined with Chen Wenming's previous confession, Chu Tianqi decided at that time: That house must be hiding secrets, secrets that others are interested in or afraid of. Therefore, some people only pay for this house when the search is fruitless or has already been successful. So Chu Tianqi found Chen Wenming on the third day of the incident.
The reason why Chen Wenming was looking for him was not because he suspected that Chen Wenming had burned the house, but because Chen Wenming and Lao Gao had conflicts before. Moreover, after the burning of the house, when viewing the relevant video, it was found that the car from the Qiuhu Town Police Station had appeared in the back street on the night of the incident.
Of course, it was precisely because of the discovery of the car that Chen Wenming was not suspected of arson, otherwise he didn't deliberately leave clues? Moreover, in the current situation, Chen Wenming can only be a man with his tail between his legs, so how dare he cause trouble again? However, this is an excuse to find Chen Wenming, and it is a topic that can be used to make a fuss.
As the saying goes, "If you have dates or not, try it." It was with the mentality of trying that Chu Tianqi hit Chen Wenming's tree with a shot, and even obtained a little bit of information. Not only that, but also put pressure on Chen Wenming, forming the illusion that he was monitoring him at all times. caused a psychological deterrent to Chen Wenming, which was also one of the reasons why Chu Tianqi used the fire to find Chen Wenming.
Chen Wenming was anxious to get rid of his suspicion, and at that time, under the coercion of Chu Tianqi, he revealed a message to Chu Tianqi: On the night of the fire, in his own bungalow, he was fooling around with the woman introduced by Wu Xinyi, and the woman left half an hour before the house caught fire.
At that time, Chen Wenming also confessed the so-called new situation, that is, Wu Xinyi's four real estates, all of which Wu Xinyi had already confessed, and the Public Security Bureau had also conducted a search. But Chu Tianqi didn't break it at that time, but let Chen Wenming go.
The real reason for looking for Chen Wenming that day was because Chu Tianqi suspected that Jucai Company was suspicious, and Chen Wenming had a close relationship with Jucai Company, and wanted to get some useful information from Chen Wenming's mouth. Sure enough, the woman from the Jucai Company arrived nearby on the night of the incident, and the timing of her departure was also very coincidental, so it seems that the Jucai Company is really suspicious.
When Lao Gao went to the Qiuhu Town Police Station to preside over the work before his death, it was not long after the Jucai Company arrived in Qiuhu Town, and it was rumored that they were not on good terms. Chu Tianqi also suspected Lao Gao's affairs, and the wealth company couldn't get out of it. Moreover, during this time, Gao Feng often took people to Jucai Company to investigate, and also arrested Wu Xinyi, the vice president of the company, from other places. In the eyes of Jucai Company, the peak is clearly that it is impossible to get along with them. So it is very likely that he will teach Gao Feng a lesson and burn his house.
Chu Tianqi believes that there is a major suspicion of accumulating wealth, but he only sees the above factors as the catalyst that led to the burning of the house, and he believes that the other party focuses on destroying the house itself, not just revenge. If you want to take revenge purely for revenge, there are many ways, so why bother to make such a well-known burning act in the city?
Since looking for Chen Wenming, Chu Tianqi has tried to identify the suspicion of gathering wealth and burning the house through various channels, so as to confirm that there is a secret in the house and further confirm the content of the secret itself. In fact, when he visited the mountain village at night, Chu Tianqi also had this thought, but he did not directly confirm the relevant secrets, but the discovery of drugs in the tunnel strengthened his confidence. He decided that there was a big problem with accumulating wealth, and Lao Gao was likely to have a big secret related to it, and this big secret was very likely to be in the old house, which was also the reason why the old house was burned.
Believe that the house has a secret, but the key is to really find the secret. Therefore, Chu Tianqi often asked about the situation of Gao Feng's squatting, and also asked Li Jian to assist Gao Feng twice, but he never went to find it himself. It's not that he doesn't want to go, but because the attention is too high, which brings a lot of inconvenience. At a time when people are generally concerned, the actions of the police are easy to arouse speculation, especially the movements of the director, which is the focus of many people's attention. Therefore, it is relatively convenient for Gao Feng to go to the scene alone.
Since the day the house was burned, this matter has become a hot topic in the streets and alleys of the county, and people have given various interpretations, including revenge by enemies, jealousy by colleagues, and revenge by rivals. Regarding the object of revenge, some say that it is against Lao Gao, some say that it is against Xiao Gao, and some say that Xiao Gao's daughter-in-law caused trouble. Anyway, whatever the way it is said, the fire is attributed to man-made intentionality.
Many people are very keen on this rumor, and it can be said that they are deeply interested, so they even made a special trip to see the scene of the fire. The scene has been fenced off by a "cordon", and there are often police officers there. Although it is not possible to go directly to the central location, this does not affect everyone's interest, but rather expands people's reverie. These people stood on the periphery, pointing and scratching at the scene from time to time, talking about their judgment and reasoning, just like a folk Sherlock Holmes.
As time went on, people's enthusiasm gradually faded, and except for the occasional police appearance, the "Sherlock Holmes" were no longer seen at the scene of the fire. At this time, Chu Tianqi was able to go by surprise.
The old house of the Gao Feng family was burned down on April 26, and it has been 10 days since today. So far, however, no clues have been found of the arsonists, and no possible secrets have been found.
So does Lao Gao have any secrets? If the house was burned down because of this, what did Lao Gao have in his hands that could make others so frightened that he would not hesitate to set fire to destroy the evidence? Judging by Lao Gao's identity, it is likely that there is evidence that the other party has violated the law and committed a crime or something like that. So did the other party find it? Will it still appear at the scene of the crime? Will tonight's action be fruitful?
Thinking about the questions one by one, Chu Tianqi finally fell asleep.
……
At 1:55 a.m. on May 6, at the corner of Backstreet.
An off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road, and two people got out of the car and walked towards the opposite alley. These two people were none other than Chu Tianqi and Gao Feng, Gao Feng was carrying a woven bag with a short shovel, pickaxe and some other gadgets in the bag. The off-road vehicle I was riding today was not the director's car, but a car with an ordinary license plate, which I don't usually use much and don't park at the Public Security Bureau. Lijian remained in the car, mainly to keep watch for the two, while also watching the car.
Walking into the alley and arriving at the scene of the fire, Gao Feng couldn't help but feel sad, in fact, every time he came recently, he didn't feel good in his heart. For Gao Feng, this is more than just a house, and it is not just a material legacy left by his father. Here are his childhood growth footprints, his life experience when he was young, and the bits and pieces of his parents, especially his thoughts and memories of his parents. Now not only are my parents gone, but even such a little memory has been destroyed by a fire. As far as the eye could see, there were only three lonely low walls, and piles of rubble shrouded in darkness.
Feeling Gao Feng's sad mood, Chu Tianqi pulled the placket of his shirt and signaled that it was time to start.
Gao Feng nodded embarrassedly, entered the cordon, and the two began to search.
I don't know where it's hidden, I don't know what it is, and I don't know if there's anything at all. The two of them could only hold a flashlight in one hand and gloves in the other, squatting* and rummaging over these mounds of dirt.
It took more than an hour to turn over and remove some bricks and tiles, which were broken magnetic sheets that had not been burned. The two of them did not give up, and went over the mound again on the mound that had been turned over, but still found nothing. In fact, Gao Feng has done this kind of work many times, but each time he left with disappointment.
There was only one potato cellar left, and Gao Feng also decided to go in to have a look, in fact, he also went in this cellar several times. The few times he entered, there were sharp swords on the scene, and he didn't go down alone, he was worried that something unexpected would happen when he went in.
Open the lid of the cellar and let it dry for five or six minutes, and then go down to the cellar. When I went down, I carried a flashlight, and inside my satchel were two handy tools.
After confirming that Gao Feng was safe in the cellar, Chu Tianqi picked up the scattered tools into the woven bag.
More than ten minutes later, Gao Feng came up, his face full of disappointment.
With a long sigh, Gao Feng shook his head, and the meaning was obvious: nothing.
patted the other party on the shoulder to show comfort, Chu Tianqi carried the woven bag and walked out of the cordon, and Gao Feng also followed.
Coming across the road, Chu and Gao got into the car.
The sword was refueled and the car drove forward.
Everyone was not in a high mood and did not speak, and in a dull atmosphere, the car stopped at the gate of Gaofeng's community.
Chu Tianqi handed the woven bag forward: "Gao Feng, give you tools." ”
Gao Feng hurriedly took the woven bag and said apologetically: "Director, I'm really sorry for letting you carry it just now." Speaking of this, Gao Feng suddenly let out a 'huh', opened the woven bag and looked at it, and then said, "No wonder Shen?
"No, didn't you take it all?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.
"Two more, a short shovel and a short pickaxe. Gao Feng stretched the woven bag forward, "There must have been no in the yard before." Who's going to take it?"
"Are you sure you didn't have it before?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically.
Gao Feng replied in the affirmative: "Yes." ”
"Haha, it looks like there's a treasure. Chu Tianqi said happily, "It's not just us who are worried. ”
"That's right. Gao Feng was even more excited, "Then let's go back and find it now." ”
"It's dawn in a while, so let's go home first. Chu Tianqi stopped the other party, "I have already looked carefully enough just now, and it will be the same if I look for it again." Think about it, if our way is wrong, and think about what your dad said before. ”
Gao Feng nodded: "Okay." ”
Chu Tianqi smiled and patted the other party's shoulder: "Young man, don't be discouraged, hope is ahead." ”
