What's in the courtyard?

A stout plane tree, a pile of broken bottles and cans, and a blown out water tank.

Wait, the water tank?

Just as his gaze swept to the water tank, a spiritual light suddenly flashed in Chu Mufeng's mind.

He walked forward quickly, shining his flashlight on the ground and sweeping it, a smile on his lips.

Found you!

The most inconspicuous thing in the whole courtyard is the water tank.

You must know that in this era, only one-thirty of the people in the huge city of Beiping could afford tap water, and most of the ordinary people still mainly ate well water, so every household had a water tank to store water.

But it is this thing that is most easily ignored, but now it has become the focus of Chu Mufeng's eyes.

He clearly remembered that at the time of the explosion, although the tank was damaged, no water came out.

At this moment, his eyes fell on the ground at the bottom of the tank, and he could see a clear indentation on one side, which was obviously a sign that it had been moved.

What does it mean that there is no water in a tank and that it is constantly moved?

Naturally, there is a mystery below!

Removing the water tank, Chu Mufeng casually picked up the tiles on the ground and inserted them vigorously in the loose soil.

Tom!

There were two faint muffled sounds.

Sure enough, there's something down there.

Chu Mufeng didn't hesitate for a moment, and immediately peeled off a layer of soil covering it, revealing an asphalted, boxy wooden box underneath, with a mottled rusty iron ring on the top of the box.

He grabbed the ring and pulled it hard, and the box was opened, revealing a brown-red leather bag inside.

Chu Mufeng took out the leather bag immediately, hey, it's a bit heavy.

As soon as he opened it, he couldn't help but gasp, and inside were several stacks of brand-new dollar bills, as well as yellow gold bars.

The denominations of the US dollars are all 20, and it is estimated that there are about five or six thousand.

The gold bars are all small yellow croaker, and there are also about 20 roots.

Of course, the small yellow croaker in the 25th year of the Republic of China is not a gold bar uniformly manufactured by the Central Mint in the later period, but a gold shop forging it by itself.

One dollar is almost equal to three oceans, and one gold bar is almost equal to thirty oceans.

When converted, there are almost 20,000 oceans here.

It's not an exaggeration to say that this is a huge amount of money.

You must know that in these years, a few hundred oceans can buy a good courtyard house in Beiping, and a few thousand oceans can buy a car to drive.

With his understanding of some of the situations in this era, if Chu Mufeng chooses to leave the Police Department and use the money to invest in business, I believe that he will soon be able to accumulate a lot of wealth.

But he is not here, and in the troubled times, money may not have power, and power will not lack money!

"Tsk, I know that this surnamed Huang has a certain amount of money in his hands, but I didn't expect there to be so many, it seems that his weight should be quite heavy, but it's a pity that he died." Chu Mufeng also secretly sighed.

In fact, he didn't know anything.

Normally, Huang Jianxin can't say that he has so much money, at best, a quarter is good.

This money was just sent to the rebellion fund, and before he could spend it, he accidentally revealed his whereabouts and had to choose suicide.

This ownerless thing is naturally cheaper, and Chu Mufeng, who came to get to the bottom of it.

He unceremoniously took out all the gold bars and dollars and put them in the bag he was carrying, put the leather bag back in its place, and then covered it with dirt, and everything was back to its original state.

If you keep this pit, you might even catch a fish.

As long as someone dares to come and find it, then Chu Mufeng will naturally be able to follow the vine and continue to investigate.

Under the cover of the thick night, Chu Mufeng quietly left the grocery store and returned to Jingyang Hutong, where he lived.

……

At the mouth of the alley of Beiping Bell Tower, a pot of spring teahouse.

Just after eating breakfast, Jian De and Gu Benchang came here.

This is a fixed meeting place for them, and many things that are not suitable for talking in the hall can be exchanged here without concealment.

Gu Benchang never expected that Chu Mufeng not only easily solved the homicide case, but also found out the espionage case by the way, and was praised and rewarded by the hall.

Thinking of this, he felt the position under his ass shake violently.

His grandmother's, if she knew that she would handle this case by herself, then this great work will be all mine!

Frowning, Gu Benchang secretly felt a little remorseful, feeling that he had lost it.

But he didn't think that if he really did it, he would be able to find out?

He who came right away by flattery, can he be as thoughtful as Chu Mufeng, know how to investigate and analyze, and pay attention to the details of the ends?

The answer is clearly no!

Behind the scenery is more dedication and effort!

"Section chief, tell me, what should I do now? Chu Mufeng, this kid has become a sweet spot in our first department, and I heard that many people call him a detective in private. ”

"Now not only the people in the first team admire him, but even the brothers in the second and third teams are quite convinced of him." Pouring a cup of tea for Jian De, Gu Benchang asked anxiously.

"What else can I do, look! This kid's luck is so good! ”

Thinking that Chu Mufeng had accidentally solved a spy case through a homicide case, Jian De's heart also felt very uncomfortable.

But he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't say anything more!

With Chu Mufeng's current influence in the first department, it is obviously not feasible for Jian De to do any more tricks, otherwise he will definitely do it himself.

"Are we just going to do it?" Gu Benchang stretched his neck and widened his eyes.

"Of course not!"

Jian De raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't take care of any injuries, come back quickly." From today onwards, you have to be your captain and you can't let that kid be in the limelight, understand? ”

"Yes, yes, I know!" Gu Benchang nodded again and again.

Originally, he wanted to put the burden on Chu Mufeng to make a foreign appearance, but now it seems that this calculation has been wrong!

If you continue to pretend to be sick, it is estimated that after a while, the entire team will only know Chu Mufeng, but not Gu Benchang.

"By the way, the Shen family's case can't be delayed, hurry up!" Jane De admonished again.

"Okay, I got it!" Gu Benchang is understanding.

……

Peiping Police Department, General Affairs Section.

There is a person who has been worried and uneasy for the past two days, and he is Huang Shilang.

He never dreamed that Huang Jianxin, who asked him for help, turned out to be a spy in the northeast.

Thinking that he ran an errand for him a few days ago, if it is found out, the nature of this matter can be big or small.

To put it mildly, it's no, what should I do; But if it is too big, if someone bites and does not let go, then the job will be gone, and the worst will have to be imprisoned.

What to do? What to do?

Huang Shilang was like an ant roasting on a hot pan, walking back and forth anxiously.

Suddenly, he suddenly stopped, patted his head and said, "By the way, only Chu Mufeng should know about this matter, as long as he doesn't say it, then it's fine!" ”

Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he said ruthlessly: "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, it seems that there has to be some blood, so that he can be satisfied!" ”

Thinking of this, Huang Shilang no longer hesitated, opened the drawer, packed up a file bag and hurriedly walked out.

……

Criminal Investigation Division, Section 1.

After everyone saw Chu Mufeng, who had just come back from outside, they all stood up happily and convincingly, their eyes showed admiration, and they greeted respectfully.

Easy detection of unsolved cases of demon cats.

A serial break in homicide and espionage.

And everyone is more or less stained.

Therefore, Chu Mufeng, who has always been very low-key, showed undoubted strength in just a few days, won his status, and became the focus.

They are all a bunch of old fritters who know their eyebrows, no one is stupid, and they can see the direction of the wind.

At the moment, if you don't hurry up with Chu Mufeng, who is in a secure position, it will be too late to wait.

"Captain Chu, shall I treat you to a meal in the evening? Don't know if you're available? ”

"Captain Chu, I have a movie ticket for Little Orchid here, I heard that you like to watch movies, so I'll give it to you."

"Captain Chu, this is our team's alarm list this month, could you please take a look?"

……

All you see are smiling faces, and all you hear are flattery.

Chu Mufeng was not averse to their flattery.

He also knows very well that this is not only because he can solve the case, but more importantly, because he has status.

If you don't become this vice captain, then even if you can solve the case again, what can you do?

It will only be praised, not revered.

So in the final analysis, it is still necessary to be in power, and the man wakes up to be in power, and only in this way can he make a difference in the next big wave, instead of following the crowd.

Bang bang bang!

At this time, a quick and low knock sounded on the door, and Gu Benchang's figure appeared at the door.

A gloomy look swept over the room, and he said coldly, "What are you all doing here?" What's the matter, there's nothing to do if you're well-fed, right? Okay, if you have nothing to do, I'll go out on patrol! ”

Everyone suddenly dispersed.

Walking in front of Chu Mufeng, Gu Benchang looked at the titular deputy in front of him seriously, and said lukewarmly: "Chu Mufeng, it's time to go to work, there should be rules for going to work, and you, the deputy captain, have to take the lead." ”

"Oh!"

Chu Mufeng didn't bother to argue with him, so he answered casually, turned around and returned to his desk.

"Humph!"

Gu Benchang glanced at Chu Mufeng's back fiercely, flipped through the case information on the table casually, and then directly began to roll call.

After a few people came, he threw the materials on the table and said with a straight face.

"I heard that the case of the wild ghost knocking on the door has been very violent recently, and everyone outside says that our police are all wrecks and don't care about food. You guys come with me and go over and see what the situation is. ”

"Yes, Captain!"

Gu Benchang is the captain after all, and since they are here, they can only act according to orders.

Watching Gu Benchang and his party leave, Chu Mufeng looked around with a little confusion and said, "Wild ghosts knock on the door!" Why haven't I heard? ”

"Captain Chu, I know about this."

Song Dabao leaned up, pointed out the window and said, "This thing is indeed very strange. ”

"The report is the Shen family in Nanluoguxiang, captain, you should know that the Shen family is a big family with a name and surname in our Beiping City."

It turned out to be the Shen family, it is said that the ancestors had been a big official, and the old man in the family was also the widow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!

Of course, Chu Mufeng knew, and secretly said in his heart: No wonder Gu Benchang was so active, he came to work.

If it were an ordinary case, he would definitely disdain it, but since it was the Shen family, it was worth his run.

Who made the Shen family rich and illustrious.
