Chapter 60 [Accidental Discovery]

Wan Yongkun and Fat Sheng were still following not far behind Zheng Xing, they had already received the news that Liu Xing was in distress in the clinic, Li Yiting meant that although there was no evidence that Zheng Xing was involved in this matter, no matter what, we must continue to strengthen the surveillance of this Zheng Xing, and we must not leave any details behind, let alone lose people. So the two of them didn't dare to slack off, and they still kept tracking it diligently.

At this time, Wan Yongkun suddenly keenly recalled a detail, that is, not far after Zheng Xing left the clinic, there was a six-story old house without an elevator, and Zheng Xing had entered it at that time. But after only five minutes, he went downstairs and left, because the time was too short, Wan Yongkun didn't even have time to catch up to see what was going on, so he continued to follow Zheng Xing away.

This matter was not too unusual, maybe Zheng Xing went to find a friend but didn't see him, or maybe he walked around casually if he had nothing to do, but the cautious Wan Yongkun didn't want to miss any of the tiny clues, plus just now Li Yiting told him that Liu Xu'er almost died shortly after Zheng Xing left, he thought of this, so he decided to turn back to the small building to investigate, and let Fat Sheng stay and continue to follow Zheng Xing.

The old house looks like it's been built for at least thirty years, and it doesn't seem to fit in well with the surrounding layout, and anyone can come and go freely without the management of the doorman property. Wan Yongkun first climbed from the first floor to the sixth floor to take a look, and found that there were four households on each floor here, and there were more than 20 in one building.

He returned to the first floor and tentatively knocked on the door of a house on the far left, and soon the door opened, and it was opened by an old woman. Looking roughly the same as the seventy-year-old, wearing an apron in front of him, thinking that he was cooking, across the sand gate, Wan Yongkun briefly asked if he had seen a young man who had just come, and the other party said no, there were only two people in the house, she and her wife. So, Wan Yongkun took out a photo of Zheng Xing and wanted to know if he had seen this person here, but the grandmother said that her eyes were not very good, and she rarely went out except for grocery shopping in the morning, so she didn't know the person in the photo, and she was not very familiar with her neighbors.

Wan Yongkun thanked his grandmother and knocked on the second family in order, but there was only one little boy less than ten years old in that family, because he remembered his parents' explanation, he couldn't open the door casually when he met a stranger, so he could only talk through the door. Wan Yongkun estimated that he would not provide valuable clues, so he just gave up after saying a few casual words.

There were a lot of people in the third household, a middle-aged couple, a pair of lovely children, and a man who claimed to be the eldest brother of the male owner, and they warmly invited Wan Yongkun to come in and speak, because Wan Yongkun asked in the name of checking the temporary resident of the household registration, and those people happened to be not locals. They were from the north, and the couple had come here to do business, so they rented a house here and brought all the children to school, and the eldest brother had come to visit them two days ago. Wan Yongkun first pretended to register, then took out a photo of Zheng Xing and asked if this person also lived in this building. The eldest brother and the child naturally didn't know, the couple took the photo and looked at it carefully, and discussed it with each other, and finally, the man said that the man in the photo seemed to have seen it nearby, but he didn't remember the specific time and place, but he just felt that the body shape was somewhat similar, but the outfit seemed to be different, so he was not impressed, and he couldn't think of anything else for a while.

Anyway, if someone has finally seen Zheng Xing here, it means that it is not the first time he has come to this building, there must be a reason for him to come, and the possibility of wandering around should be ruled out, so Wan Yongkun is even more sure that clues will be found here, so he did not give up the pursuit of this building.

The door on the far right of the first floor knocked for a long time, but there was no response, presumably no one was at home. The previous couple also said that the family next door seemed to be living with tenants, and they were usually very busy, and they were basically not at home during the day, and only came back to sleep very late. Since there would be no one in this house in the morning, presumably Zheng Xing did not come to look for them, Wan Yongkun temporarily left the building, he thought that if the couple had seen Zheng Xing here, then the nearby small merchants and vendors might also have met, after all, they were always outside to set up stalls to sell things, which was much more likely than the people living in the building meeting Zheng Xing.

Across the street from the building, there is a row of small shops, some selling snacks, some selling daily necessities, as well as barber shops, bathrooms and other convenient places for residents. After several encounters, he finally met a small boss who claimed to have seen the person in the photo at a nearby steamed bun shop.

Wan Yongkun was very excited, and he asked, "Are you sure this person often comes here to eat steamed buns?

The little boss thought for a while, "To be honest, I've really seen this person's appearance, he hasn't come much, but at least four or five times, so I'm sure it's him, but these dressed words don't seem to look alike, but people are definitely this That's right, unless it's twins, I won't admit it." As for when it came, I don't remember exactly, but you know that we have a lot of people here every day, in the morning and evening, and this really can't be noticed. ”

Wan Yongkun heard a detail, that is, Zheng Xing's dress is different from the photo, but the photo should be Zheng Xing's daily appearance in front of people! He thought again, the couple in the third household on the first floor also mentioned this, since the people who had seen Zheng Xing nearby said that his clothes were different, it would not be wrong, this is indeed very strange, why did he change his daily appearance here? Is it to hide people's eyes? Or is there some other unsightly purpose?

"Since you said that this person was dressed differently from the photo, what kind of dress did you wear when you met him?" Wan Yongkun asked.

"It's like the kind of sweatshirt with his head around, yes, almost his head is covered by clothes, so he leaves a pair of eyes outside, which is quite fashionable. The little boss said truthfully, and then he saw a boy passing by, pointed to the person and said, "You see, it's similar to that person's outfit." ”

Wan Yongkun turned his head to look, and the boy on the road was really wearing a sweatshirt, black, with a particularly high collar, if he shrunk his head, he could indeed stuff half of his head into his jacket, which was obviously the image of a second-class young man. Wan Yongkun felt very incredible, Zheng Xing was rich in five cars, a talent, and polite on weekdays, how could he be the same as the boy in a sweatshirt in front of him, this is also too far away, it is simply not in line with the temperament of Zheng Xing's character. Moreover, this style seems to hide the head, and some of the meaning of hiding the head and revealing the tail is obviously deliberately concealing the appearance and behavior. Zheng Xing has now been identified as a suspect by Chen Tianyu, and he appeared in this place but changed his appearance, which shows that this place is a very secret place, he doesn't want others to see that he has appeared here, which just shows the importance of this place to Zheng Xing, he came here is definitely not as simple as meeting friends.

So Wan Yongkun returned to the building, the first floor had already been checked, starting from the second floor, every house was opened, and every door was opened, and the suspicions were eliminated one by one. There are indeed more tenants here, and they are not very familiar with each other, so except for the couple on the first floor, everyone else said that they had not seen Zheng Xing.

After knocking on all the twenty-four households on the entire six floors, there were people in a total of nineteen households, and Wan Yongkun did not find any clues in these houses, so he set his sights on the other five houses where no one was at home. If this is really a secret hiding place for Zheng Xing, then he is outside at this time, and there should be no one at home, then the place where he came is very likely to be within those five households.

There was no wall or anything like that behind the building, just a bush of weeds that no one would notice. Wan Yongkun made a detour to the back and first observed the house on the far right of the first floor, and he found that it was very empty, except for the necessary beds, TVs and other household appliances, there were no extra things, combined with the testimony of the couple, there was no problem with this family.

Then he climbed to the outside of the second floor with the help of the windows on the first floor, where there were two households with no one at home. The house on the left was vacant after hearing from the neighbors say that it had moved away, and this observation also confirmed this statement, and there was no room in the house, and there was no sign of human activity. The one on the right has a lot of flowers on the balcony, Wan Yongkun climbed up to the outside of the balcony, looked inside, and found a bedroom that was obviously a child, with a lot of awards posted on the wall, as well as children's paintings, and the other room was a little messy with sundries, but these are the clothes that normal people should have, and there doesn't seem to be much doubt.

Since the second floor is equipped with glass windows, there is no focus point, so it is not good to climb on it. Wan Yongkun had no choice but to come down and climb up the stairs to the top of the roof, where he tied the safety rope he had carried with him to the iron railing and water heater on the roof, and then slid down the rope from the sky, sticking to the wall to the outside of a house on the sixth floor where no one was at home. This is the top floor, the sun is particularly good, this family did not seal the balcony, but made an open-air sun room, in addition to flowers and plants, but also planted a lot of vegetables, even a small orange tree, in addition to a bird's nest built on it, it can be seen that the family's life mood is more idyllic. With so many vegetables, fruits and flower beds to take care of, it takes a lot of time, and it will definitely not be something that can be done once in a while and in a few minutes, just from this point, Wan Yongkun doesn't feel like Zheng Xing's destination.

In the end, there was only one household left in the middle four floors, and Wan Yongkun slowly slid down, and with the help of the adhesion of the sewer pipes on the exterior wall, he could easily stay where he needed to stop. He went to the fourth floor to see what was inside, but he was disappointed by what he saw. It wasn't that he saw anything wrong, but he didn't see anything, because the windows of this house were covered with thick curtains, and not only that, but the curtains were very thick. Generally speaking, although ordinary curtains can block part of the light, it is impossible to completely achieve the effect of avoiding light, and some things can be seen in close proximity, but Wan Yongkun found that the curtains on these windows are completely opaque, not of particularly good quality, but use several layers, as if deliberately blocking the sight of outsiders.

Wan Yongkun tried to push the window, but he didn't move, and he should have pulled the lock of the window from the inside. He moved out of the verandah, where there were no walls on three sides and at the top, and no curtains were installed, but a door was added before the balcony and the drawing-room, and curtains as thick as those on the windows of the room. The balcony is completely exposed, Wan Yongkun can clearly see inside, but the balcony is empty, there is nothing, not to mention other people's families planting flowers and vegetables, not even a change of clothes, the whole is empty.

Such a clean and simple balcony is so different, combined with the unusual thick curtains, Wan Yongkun roughly speculated that if there was really Zheng Xing's secret base in this building, it could only be the one in front of him.

But Wan Yongkun did not have a search warrant, and he could not break into the door from the front in a grand manner, and if he made a mistake, he would become a trespasser on a private house, which is a crime. But if he goes back to go through the formalities, it will be too delayed, and he doesn't know what will happen during this period, especially when Liu Wu'er almost died not long ago, so he doesn't want to delay for a moment.

Wan Yongkun's burglary skills are not inferior to those who are used to stealing, especially in the process of tracking down the two-day theft gang, and by the way, he also learned a lot of new skills with those little thieves, which just came into play at this moment. He stuck it on the outside of the balcony, stood firmly with one foot on the interface of the sewer pipe, and then took out some small tools, and stuffed an iron sheet into the gap of the window, since the window interface was slowly grinded and enlarged, after it became larger, the iron sheet in the gap was replaced with an iron nail, and continued to expand the interface, and finally there was enough space, so that he used a small iron rod to reach in and hook the window lock on the inside, and slowly opened the lock, thus pushing the window into the balcony.

The door to the balcony and the living room was installed separately, and a horizontal bolt was placed in it, which was much easier, Wan Yongkun used a particularly thin screwdriver to plug the gap in the middle of the door little by little, and then moved the horizontal bolt again, and he opened the small door smoothly, tore open the curtains, and entered the room.

When he entered, Wan Yongkun was very cautious, he was still a little worried, in case there were Zheng Xing's accomplices inside, he was not afraid that he would not be able to take the other party, but it was easy to startle the snake. So he was very careful, first slowly poking out one foot, then another leg, and did not notice anything unusual, so he let his head follow.

The scene in front of him made Wan Yongkun stunned for an instant, where is this house where people live? There are no electrical appliances, no sofas, and even no dining tables, but all kinds of ancient bows and crossbows and arrowheads of all kinds are placed. They are placed on the ground, hung on the walls, and are also placed in homemade weapons cabinets. There is also a description under each weapon, which is handwritten, marking what dynasty the thing is and what the source is, and it is marked out one by one.

Wan Yongkun quickly and carefully inquired between these bows and crossbows, and soon found something he was familiar with, which was the bow and crossbow he saw when he was saving Yege on the street. The poisoned arrow hit Yege's leg and almost killed him, and the poisoned arrow has always been collected by Wan Yongkun, who often checks it, so he is very familiar with it, and he also found the same arrow in this room, as well as the bow that fired it.
