Chapter 172: The Chest
"I'll just say it, he loves to read very much, he's very well-behaved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Auntie cried again, she said these words back and forth over and over again, "I told him, study hard, with knowledge can you leave home and live a good life." I don't have any hope, he can. It's all because of that dead ghost who took the money, otherwise he would have been able to read it. ”
Lu Ran listened to her crying, and sympathy felt in his heart, and his mind kept spinning.
He turned, walked to the closet door again, ripped open all the clothes that were hanging, and dug his hands inside, and found that they were all books.
Lu Ran looked up again, there should be some books, which were placed on the partition.
However, because the partition was a bit high, Lu Ran couldn't see what was placed on it at his usual height, so he had to reach out and touch the upper layer of the wooden plank.
Sure enough, he touched a few more books, took them down and looked at them, they were also some textbooks that Li Huaqiang borrowed from his classmates, all of which had names on them.
Lu Ran frowned, as if he saw some difference between the upper and lower layers, he thought about it, and put his hand in again, reaching the farthest his arm could reach, and it was already close to the layer of wood behind the cabinet.
"Do you want to take a stool and step on it?" Xu Hao looked at Lu Ran and asked as he looked at Lu Ran trying to probe in.
Lu Ran didn't answer immediately, he paused for a moment, and his hand touched something in that dark and isolated space, not the layers of folds built up by the book, nor the pages of paper.
His hand, as if it had reached his head, was blocked by something, and he couldn't reach in, but it was not as hard as a wooden plank, and when he pressed it, it was a little soft.
Lu Ran turned his head and said to Xu Hao, "Move a stool, I'll step on it and take a look." ”
Xu Hao heard Lu Ran say this, walked to the hall and moved a stool over, Lu Ran took it to his feet and stood up.
Stepping on the stool, his eyes could barely see what was on the partition.
Sure enough, there was a pile of books stacked on it, not neatly arranged, and a little messy.
The stack of books was not placed directly on the partition, but on top of something that looked like a box and a box.
This thing is probably what Lu Ran touched before, and when he touched it, he thought it had touched the wooden board behind him, but in fact, he pressed it inside, and it was still soft.
It must not be wooden, Lu Ran thought.
The height of this box is as high as Lu Ran's two palms, and the width is half a meter long, as for how deep it is, it is unknown. Lu Ran planned to take this thing down from above.
Lu Ran put his hands in and grabbed both sides of the box, it was not too deep inside, about the same width as it was, it was about half a meter, and he could reach the innermost part of the entire box.
Grabbing the back of the box with both hands, Lu Ran planned to take it out.
But this time, Lu Ran found that if he didn't use force, the box wouldn't move at all.
"This thing is so heavy. Lu Ran said.
"Is it heavy? Let me do it. As soon as he heard Lu Ran say Shen, Xu Hao enthusiastically wanted to help.
"It's okay, I'll try harder. After Lu Ran finished speaking, he pulled the box out from the inside, he didn't expect that he would have to work so hard to finally move the box.
Xu Hao and Liu Wei saw his posture, and hurriedly stepped forward to take a hand, one left and one right, and helped him take down the box and put it heavily on the ground.
The three of them looked at it like this, and it was actually a cardboard box.
It's just that when you touch it, it doesn't look like an ordinary paper skin at all, it's very hard.
Xu Hao was the first to squat down and ponder, he just wanted to open the cardboard box, and the voice of the aunt in his ear shouted loudly: "What are you going to do, don't touch the things of the hadron, he said, this box is not allowed to be touched." ”
"Did Qiangzi really tell you that?" Lu Ran heard his aunt say that Li Huaqiang would not let people touch him, so he made up his mind that he must take a look.
He and Xu Hao looked at each other, and Xu Hao's eyes were exactly what he meant.
At this time, Xu Hao also had a lot of speculations in his heart, what is so precious, more precious than his stack of books. Could it be that he hid the tools he usually used to commit crimes here?
He couldn't wait to open the box.
"Auntie, don't worry, we won't wronged a good person, has he done anything bad, open this box, and you can see it at a glance. As he spoke, Xu Hao was about to start, but found that the opening of the box was sealed with scotch tape.
He stopped, muttering, "Looks like this box is really his treasure." ”
Lu Ran didn't hesitate, didn't talk nonsense, took out his keychain, and swiped hard with a smaller key, making a cut.
The chest was opened.
Lu Ran, Xu Hao, Liu Wei, and even the aunt all came up to see what was inside.
However, when the three men saw the contents of the box, they were all silent.
Only the aunt at this time, after a pause, shouted at them loudly: "I told you, these are all his books." He loves to read, and he keeps all his books in this cabinet. ”
The aunt said it rightly, and some blamed the three of them for rummaging through their son's personal belongings at will.
Xu Hao was a little embarrassed, there were no tools for committing the crime he thought, and there were still stacks of books stacked full.
No wonder when this box is lifted, it is not usually heavy, the density of books is larger, and it is a heavier item, especially when the whole box is stuffed with stacks of books.
The whole is a solid stone brick in general.
"This kid really loves to read, what do you think he put his books in this cardboard box? Xu Hao said puzzled.
That's a good question. Lu Ran replied to him approvingly. At this time, he had already picked up a few books in the box and put them in front of him to read.
Xu Hao also leaned his head over and looked at the book in Lu Ran's hand.
Then, he laughed and said to Lu Ran, "Have you read this book too?"
"Well, yes. Lu Ran replied calmly.
With that, he put down the books in his hand and put them back in the cardboard box.
Then, Lu Ran turned his face, nodded to Xu Hao seriously, and said, "It's okay, my investigation is over, let's go back." ”
"The investigation is over?" Xu Hao was a little puzzled, "Why is it over, what do you see here?"
He was still confused.
Lu Ran didn't answer him, but stood up, turned around and said politely to Auntie, "Auntie, I'm sorry to disturb today, let's leave." ”
The aunt pulled his sleeve and asked him urgently, "What about the strong son, you have to release him, you can't arrest people indiscriminately, what are you going to do to him?"
Lu Ran didn't explain more to her, but said fairly: "We will act impartially and will not wronged good people." ”
After speaking, he asked Xu Hao and Liu Wei to help him lift the box of books.
"Where are you going to carry these books?" Xu Hao didn't know what he was going to do.
"Carry it in the car, take it away, take it to your police station, this is evidence. ”
"Evidence? What kind of evidence is this?"
After Xu Hao asked, he saw that Lu Ran didn't answer him again, so he simply didn't ask.
called Xu Wei together and carried out the heavy box of books little by little.
The aunt was still crying behind their backs and hitting the three of them with her hand.
Watching them go away little by little, the aunt didn't chase them out again, just watched from a distance and shouted.
Finally, the two of them carried the book into the car.
Lu Ran was already waiting outside the car where they came.
Liu Wei opened the car door and sat in the driver's seat, while Lu Ran and Xu Hao sat in the back seat respectively.
The car finally started and left Li Huaqiang's home.
Sitting in the car, Xu Hao asked again: "I don't understand, what key evidence did we find when we came here, and what can this pile of books illustrate?"
Lu Ran was much calmer at this time, more confident than before they came today, and said, "I have gained a lot today. Don't you think it's strange? Li Huaqiang is a patient with a split personality, and he never had an illness when he was a child? His mother said from the beginning that he was very well-behaved and never fought.
This is not like Zhu Zhengwu's style. (To be continued.) )
