"Uncle Cao, just now we dug six holes in the courtyard of Professor Cai's house."

"Holes? Comrade Zhao, I have a question, can you say that? ”

Being able to take the initiative to ask questions shows that Uncle Cao is thinking positively - or that he has remembered something.

"Uncle Cao, you say."

"How long have these holes been around?"

"The soil under the floor tiles is very soft, and according to our judgment, the time is not long, about a month!"

"Mr. Cai and his wife have been at home all the time, how can these people have the opportunity to dig a hole in the yard?" Cao Runan frowned and muttered to himself.

"We heard that Professor Cai was admitted to the hospital once in late August and early September this year."

"I remember, yes, yes, a month ago, at the end of August, at the beginning of September, he was in the hospital once, for about eight or nine days. Comrade Zhao, I remembered something, I don't know if I should talk about it or not? ”

"We are here to find out the situation with you today, you can say whatever comes to mind, you provided us with a lot of information yesterday, what do you remember?"

"Professor Cai, before he was hospitalized, he took care of me and remembered to open and close the windows for him every day."

"In those days, the sky was very overcast, and there was some light rain from time to time, Professor Cai said that his framed paintings were afraid of dampness, and there was no one at home, Professor Cai gave me a key and asked me to help him open the window every morning and close the window at night."

"Doesn't Rao Glance live at No. 117? Why not call him for help! ”

"Xiao Rao just sleeps at No. 117 at night, and is generally not at home during the day, and sometimes he is on night duty. Professor Cai just came to me, and I live next to his house, so I naturally have to help with this. ”

"Well, do you notice anything wrong?"

"One day, I went to Cai's house, walked to the courtyard gate, and was just about to take out the key, but found that the door lock was open, and I thought Xiao Rao was at home."

"When I walked into the yard, I saw that the door of Xiao Rao's room was locked, and when I was wondering, I found that there seemed to be someone in the yard."

"I heard the sound, but I didn't know where it came from, so I went to a few rooms to look around, and finally saw Professor Cai's second son, Cai Yaohui, on the west hill of the main house."

"Cai Yaohui?" Zhao Zimeng immediately became alert.

"Yes."

"What was Cai Yaohui doing when you saw him?"

"He's coming from the back of the main room."

"It is said that he rarely goes home, his father is hospitalized, his mother accompanies him, there is no one at home, how can he be in the courtyard?"

"Yes! At that time, I was also very puzzled, every time Cai Yaohui came, he left after a while, and never stayed longer. ”

"He doesn't go to the hospital to take care of his father, what is he doing here? I wondered if he had come back to fetch something for Professor Cai? ”

"At that time, did Cai Yaohui say anything?"

"When I saw him, he had a small mace in his hand. By the way, he also has a pair of gauze gloves on his hands,"

"With a little mace?"

"Yes."

"What is he doing with the hammer?"

"He said that a piece of glass was broken in the window behind Professor Cai's bedroom, and he replaced it with a new one."

"Did you go to the back of the house to have a look?"

"No, he is Professor Cai's son, and this is also his home, I didn't think about it that much at the time, but I was a little puzzled?"

"What are you wondering?"

"There is a piece of glass at the back of Mr. Cai's house that is indeed broken, I know about this, the day before, Xiao Rao had already helped Professor Cai install it - the glass was still taken by Xiao Rao from my house."

"I don't understand why his son has to install the glass again?"

"Since Xiao Rao lived in Professor Cai's house, his family changed the gas, bought the coal base, and repaired the doors and windows."

"Cai Yaohui has a straight suit and shiny leather shoes, and he looks like a decent person, and he has never done such rough work."

"Uncle Cao, thank you, the information you provided is very important. Do you know what Cai Yaohui does? ”

"I don't know, Mr. Cai and his wife have never told us, and I don't like to inquire about other people's family affairs."

"Cai Yaohui used to teach at a university, but he quit his job a few years ago and opened an antique shop."

"Antique shop?"

"Yes, as far as I know, Cai Yaohui studied archaeology in college, and later studied cultural relics identification."

The reason why Zhao Zimeng said this to Cao Runan was that he hoped that Cao Runan would remember something, something in his memory needed to be activated, and if there was no caving, Cao Runan would not have remembered Cai Yaohui's installation of window glass.

"It turns out that this is the case, in the past six months, Cai Yaohui has come to Huaigu Village more often. The relationship between him and Mr. Cai is like-" Cao Runan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Isn't it good?"

Cao Runan was silent for a while and said, "Well, I can't say it well. We have a tight house here, and the neighbors know who comes to the house. ”

"Every time Cai Yaohui comes, Professor Cai doesn't seem to have much communication with this son, and Cai Yaohui only says a few words to Cai's sister-in-law and leaves."

"I heard that Professor Cai's house on Ninghai Road was very large, it was a building, and the couple lived in Huaigu Village, I don't know if it has anything to do with this son."

Zhao Zimeng guessed: The relationship between the father and son is not good, there are two possibilities.

The first possibility is that he has an opinion about his son's self-assertion, resignation and going to sea.

Cai Yaohui threw down his golden job and went to the sea to do business, which is indeed a bit deviant, and his parents can't accept it.

The second possibility is that Professor Cai has opinions about his son's behavior and is not used to it, which is probably the main reason why he is reluctant to talk about his son's career in front of his neighbors!

"Does Cai Yaohui have the key to the courtyard gate of No. 117 and his parents' room?"

"Yes. Their daughter Yaohua also has the key. ”

"Seeing Cai Yaohui appear on No. 117, do you remember what time it was?"

"It's evening, it's five o'clock – I open the window every morning around seven o'clock and close it around five o'clock in the evening. Every time Cai Yaohui came, it was during the day, and in the evening, he never came. ”

"Mr. Cao, what do you think of Rao Glance?"

"Xiao Rao, a good person, and he also consciously knows how to measure, I haven't seen him bring people to No. 117, Mr. Cai's family has some rough work, he rushes to do it, what do our neighbors need help, he doesn't say a word, he does it without squeaking."

"Why did he stay at number 117?"

"His family has a lot of room and few houses. My father and I are good friends, he has four brothers, he is the eldest, the second brother talked to a person, in order to let the second child get married, he moved to No. 117. ”

"Does he live until the 117th, or is it my mouth? Originally, he didn't want to disturb Mr. Cai and his wife, but I helped him tell Mr. Cai. ”

"I didn't expect Mr. Cai to be a good person, so I immediately agreed."

"Xiao Rao didn't wipe my face, he went back to his old house in the front village of Huaigu Village for dinner, he is a very gentleman, he doesn't speak loudly, Mr. Cai and his wife like him very much, otherwise, Mr. Cai would not give him a painting - his painting is very valuable, and ordinary people don't give it."

"Well, you just said that Rao Glance never brings people to No. 117, does he have many friends?"

"Xiao Rao does have a lot of friends."

"Have you seen his friends?"

"I haven't seen it."

"And how do you know?"

"He and my third child are classmates in the same school, and I listened to what my third child said."

"In addition to working at the Zhongguan Grain Depot, does Rao have anything else to do?"

Rao Glance works as a warehouse clerk in the grain depot, and often works night shifts, so he is usually relatively idle.

People who are too idle will find things to do. Working as a warehouse keeper in a grain depot, the salary income will not be high, and in the years of opening up and innovation, young people's minds have become more active.

"I don't know, my son probably knows."

"Where does your son work?"

"He works in the security department of the Xuanhong Hotel."

"Are you coming back for dinner at noon?"

"Come back."

"Uncle Cao, you see if this will work, after eating at noon, you ask your son to go to Director Zhang's place, and I will wait for him at the police station."

"No problem. Rao has played a lot with the third child of our family, and the third child may know some things. ”

"Uncle Cao, thank you so much."

"Comrade Public Security, it's too polite, you were busy for a long time last night, and you came to Huaigu Village early this morning, it's too hard."

"Tomb robbery is illegal, and there are human lives, if this kind of person is not cleaned up, this world will never be peaceful." Speaking of excitement, Uncle Cao was indignant.

"Uncle, you have such a high consciousness, I am very happy, we need the help of the people, if there is no help from the people, no matter how capable we are, it will not help."

"Uncle Cao, if you think of something, you can always find Director Zhang, looking for Director Zhang is the same as looking for me."

"Uncle Cao, where does Sister-in-law Che's family live?"

"The car family lives in the dormitory area of the shipyard next door, No. 101, Unit 101, Nine Buildings, District 3. It was her sister's house, and her brother-in-law worked as a director in the shipyard's engine shop. ”

The four of them talked as they walked down the mountain.

"Uncle Cao, where does Sister-in-law Che's lover work?"

"Xiao Duan works at the Jingxi Electric Factory."

"Master Duan, won't you come back for dinner at noon?"

"If he doesn't come back, he eats in the factory at noon, the motor factory is in the west of the city, the road is too far, and he only goes home in the evening."

"Who are the neighbors who are closer to the Cai family, can Uncle Cao tell me their current address?"

"Many people have no contact after they move away, only Xiao Xie said when he moved, Xiao Xie's daughter likes to paint, and she has won many awards in the city."

"Xiao Xie and his wife often bring their daughter to consult Mr. Cai, Mr. Cai is a good person, often dial a little, sometimes, when Mr. Cai paints, he also lets Xiao Xie's daughter watch from the side."

"Xiao Xie's family originally lived at No. 113, in front of Xiao Duan's house, and Xiao Xie's wife would definitely come to the well at No. 117 to wash as long as she washed things."

"I only know about Xiao Xie's family, I don't know where other families have moved. Captain Zhao can ask the car, she usually likes to talk around, maybe she knows where some people have moved. ”
