Ouyang Ping stood up: "Da Yu, the two of you are waiting for the car here, and Yan Jianhua and I will go back to No. 157 with Cui Qiaoqin." When they came, you brought the two brothers to number 157. ”

The three of them walked out of the Chejia compound, entered Qixingmen Street, walked a few dozen meters to the east, and entered Impermanence Lane - the gate of the Chejia compound was facing Qixingmen Street.

Ouyang Ping pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard.

Han Lingling heard the voice and came out.

Cui Qiaoqin walked into the living room, entered the wing, turned on the light, and walked to the place with a window door and a brick wall joint.

Ouyang Ping, Yan Jianhua and Han Lingling stood beside them.

Cui Qiaoqin took a step back, looked at Ouyang Ping's face with a solemn expression, and clasped her hands together, which had naturally drooped down.

"Cui Qiaoqin, what do you see?"

"That's not right!"

"What's wrong?"

"When we lived here, there was a pillow distance between the window and this wall, and now there is only a long distance left, and when we lived here, there was no such wall, this wall must have been built later."

The "later brick" is built by the tenant.

Cui Qiaoqin's words should be credible.

"When we lived here, my pillow was laid out like this." Cui Qiaoqin said as she gestured with her hand. The position of the pillow is where Cui Qiaoqin's head is, and this kind of information can only be revealed in a specific environment. When Cui Qiaoqin was there, she finally remembered something.

After that, Cui Qiaoqin looked at the pryed open green bricks again, and then walked to the southwest corner of the courtyard to take a look.

"There used to be a lot of bricks here -- leftover from the old days when the house was being built, and the bricks used to build the walls must have come from here."

"There are bricks left, but is there lime left?"

"Nope."

The courtyard door was pushed open, and four people walked in from the alley in turn, two of whom were the Che Huating brothers.

"My brother and sister are right, there is only a pile of green bricks and a little tile in this yard, and there is no lime." It was a man in his early forties who spoke. The man wears a peaked cap, a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and a dark trench coat on his upper body.

"Captain Ouyang, this is my eldest brother."

Ouyang Ping shook the hand of the car boss: "Hello - you came back just in time." ”

"Captain Ouyang, let's go to the wing room and have a look." The boss of the car walked in front, and the others followed.

The car boss took out a tape measure from the pocket of his trench coat, pulled it out, and measured the length of the floor—the floor was laid in an east-west direction.

Boss Che straightened up, looked under the electric lamp of the tape measure, and then looked at Che Huating and Ouyang Ping and said: "This wall was built later, it turned out that there were only two walls, and you can't see it by looking at the wall alone, but you can understand what is going on by measuring the length of the floor." Look-" the car boss walked to the door of the wing, "you see--these houses have been repaired, and these floors have been changed--the size is measured by yourself, I remember clearly, you see-the replaced floor is not the same as the original floor?" ”

Yan Jianhua brought a flashlight and shone it back and forth on the floor a few times. Everyone finally saw that the color of the replaced floor was brighter, the color of the old floor was black, and there were traces of being eaten by insects, and some places were more sunken.
