Siheyuan: Kill Han Qingkui, Tian Zao is entangled with me

Chapter 167: Shocking Secrets Found in the Rented Room at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang
Duomen stayed to accompany Zhang Chao and wait for Xie Can to return the IOU.

Zheng Chaoyang followed him into Xian Dengkui's study and saw Xian Yi running towards him from a distance.

"Eighty thousand, aren't you going out?"

"Brother Zheng, Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year, I didn't prepare any red envelopes."

"I'm not a child anymore! What are you talking about?"

"Business, go ahead!"

The study door was closed from the inside. Xian Yi stamped her feet and then left.

"Brother Zheng, you don't come here for no reason. Are you here to support someone?"

"It's just on the way. I heard that Tai Ping Dao will hold a ritual at the Temple of Heaven on the 3rd of next month. Will you go?"

"As a point-transmitting master, I must be present. Brother Zheng, are you ready to take action against the Taiping Dao?"

"How about helping me bring a few people in?"

Not very good, Xian Dengkui instinctively refused.

Until Zheng Chaoyang took out the appointment letter from the Secret Service.

"Brother Zheng, this is not a joke, is it?"

"Our experts who came back from the Soviet Union have already extracted several sets of fingerprints from it. We just need to collect a set from Brother Xian and compare them. If they don't match, you will be cleared of all charges."

The implication is that if the match is true, you will be jailed for life.

"So how do you want me to help you?"

Zheng Chaoyang took out another piece of evidence and placed it in front of Xian Dengkui. It was Yi Zhonghai's "Great and Good Teacher" bracelet.

"Brother Zheng is very resourceful. He even managed to get the bracelet from the Taoist leader? Even without my help, Dabaili would have taken the initiative to meet you."

"But with Brother Xian's help, you will have a reason to distance yourself from the Taiping Dao in the future!"

Xian Dengkui understood that the Taiping Dao must be completely banned, and he should also concentrate on his own business and stop getting involved in the Taiping Dao's affairs.

"I also know that Dabaili has been staying in those secret smoking houses of yours, Brother Xian, these days. I haven't closed down these smoking houses because I want to save face for you. But if you don't want to save face, I won't be such a pushover."

"I'll ask Old Xie to do it later!"

"Brother Xian, don't trust the people around you too much. Apart from your closest relatives, the people around you are the ones who stab you in the back the most. Be careful."

Until Zheng Chaoyang walked out of the study, Xian Dengkui was still thinking about the meaning of his words.

What he meant was that Xie Can had done something shameful under his name?
Black eating black, this is the most taboo in the underworld.

Xian Dengkui had also done it, otherwise Hei Xuan Feng would not have kidnapped his daughter.

But Xian Dengkui was a hero who would rather let the world down than be let down by the world.

When leaving the front yard, Xie Can came face to face with me, and it was obvious that he was trying hard to suppress his anger.

"Officer Zheng, we're going back now."

"Old Xie, I have something to advise you. If you do too much evil, you will eventually perish. So be careful!"

The two gazes behind him became more and more vicious, but they soon turned and left.

"Brother Zheng, where are you going?"

"Why are you still here?"

Xian Yi sat in the driver's seat, leaned over and smiled at him through the passenger window, "Wait for Brother Zheng!"

"It's New Year's Day, go have fun by yourself! I have things to do over there!"

"I've already told you that I'm not a child anymore, huh!"

As soon as the accelerator was stepped on, thick smoke came out of the car's exhaust, choking several people and making them cough.

"What kind of crappy car is this?"

"Officer Zheng, Master Duo, Xiao Chao is your man from now on!"

As he said this, Zhang Chao was about to kneel down and kowtow.

"Get up. It's just a favor for us to help you. If you keep kneeling down, don't come to us if you have any problems in the future!"

"Mr. Duo is right, you should go back quickly!"

Zhang Chao's tears and snot were streaming down his face. He wiped them with his sleeve, then turned and left.

"Be open and aboveboard!"

"Master Duo, you are really showing off in front of my uncle-in-law!"

"Go to hell! It's not over yet, is it? Sang Hong is a good girl, don't let her down. I'm fine being alone and I'm free."

"That's fine. I'll arrange for Sang Hong to meet Lao Hao."

"What the hell? You bastard, don't push a girl into the fire pit!"

When passing Nanchizi Street, they saw a long queue in front of them, including many neighbors from Yandaixie Street. They were just nodding acquaintances.

"At this rate, I'll just have a bowl of noodles with gravy tonight!"

"I'll show you how to make Sijiucheng's authentic noodles with soybean paste. If you pass by the vegetable market in front, buy some cucumbers and carrots to take back."

"Okay, you usually eat a lot of my food, so I should eat a few bowls of noodles with soybean paste."

Duomen rolled his eyes and asked, "How many more bowls do you want to eat?"
When I returned to the yard, Sang Hong was still there.

Zheng Chaoyang nudged Duomen with his elbow and winked at him, "Sang Hong, have you eaten?"

"Brother Zheng, Master Duo! My uncle is cooking! Have you eaten?"

"After lunch, I went out for a walk and I'm hungry again. Isn't this the best dish that Shiduoye is going to show off, Laosijiucheng Noodles with Soy Sauce?"

"Do you like to eat noodles with soybean paste, too? When my mom was around, she often made noodles with soybean paste for me. I haven't eaten it in a long time! The ones made outside don't taste the same."

"It's okay, I'll make more and ask you to taste it later to see if it tastes the same as before. Oops, I forgot to buy soybeans, fry them in oil and sprinkle a few on top to make it more crispy."

By the time Duomen went looking for Zheng Chaoyang, he had already slipped away.

"This Chaoyang said he was here to help me, what a lie!"

"Then let me help you. Do you need to cut the cucumber and carrot into shreds?"

"Thanks."

"Why are you saying such polite things? My uncle-in-law said that he remembers your kindness, Master Duo!"

Zheng Chaoyang lay on the door and looked outside through the crack.

"What are you looking at? With your butt sticking out!"

"I told you that this old guy Duomen will have a romantic encounter this year. If you still don't believe me, wait till you get married!"

Daya and Erya on the side were learning embroidery, and they looked quite good at it.

"Why are you two learning this? It's definitely not what your sister Bai Ling taught you."

"It was Sister Bai Ling who taught me that Brother Zheng would just talk nonsense. Sister Bai Ling knows a lot more!"

"You are so free, is this an embroidered duck?"

The two maids spat and turned around to embroider their own things.

"Da Ya and Er Ya are not young anymore, it's time for them to get married. What duck? They are mandarin ducks!"

"Is that what you see as a mandarin duck? Sorry, it looks too much like a duck."

"So what do you think mandarin ducks look like, Brother Zheng?"

"Test me, right?"

Zheng Chaoyang took out the paint and brush he got from Zhang Daban from his pocket and began to paint on a piece of silk cloth.

"Where did you get the silk cloth?"

"It was made by Tan Gu Zhai. They don't know the value of it, so I took a little to practice. Tell me, does this look like a mandarin duck?"

"Yes! It kind of looks like one! Compared to yours, it really does look like a duck."

"The reason why I paint on silk is to make it easier for you to embroider. It won't be like paper that will be torn into a big hole if you poke it. Try it!"

"Brother Zheng, can you draw one for me too?"

One painting is a work, and two paintings are also a work.

Even Bai Ling looked at him with envy.

Just let each person paint one, but in different styles.

Zheng Chaoyang suddenly remembered that when Bai Ling was in Huangni Village, she seemed to have made a sachet by herself, and the pattern on it was embroidery.

"I'll ask you for some silk thread for embroidery later. This kind of thread will fade after being washed for a long time."

Bai Ling handed Zheng Chaoyang a few pieces of paper with sloppy handwriting on them, indicating that the target spoke very quickly.

Logically speaking, Qin Zhaodi doesn't know his elder brother's identity yet.

"By the way, tell Lao Luo later to implement a witness protection plan for Qin Yuhe, the logistics director of Tzu Chi Hospital."

"You mean to say that Qin Zhaodi might kill someone to silence him?"

"It's very likely. I've already alerted the enemy."

"You are the one who has so much free time!"

"Da Ya and Er Ya, pack up and come with me to the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office."

"Are you really going to rent a house for both of them?"

"Well, it's time for them to help. Go directly to the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang and keep an eye on the movements of Yi Zhonghai's wife at any time."

"By the way, if anyone asks, you are students of the police academy. Try not to interact with people in the hospital. The more you talk, the more mistakes you will make."

"Will Dayong live there too?"

Zheng Chaoyang suddenly made a decision and turned back to discuss it with Sui Dayong.

Then there are Wang Zhong and Xu Xiaoshan.

When the three people arrived at the Jiaodaokou Street Office, the office was full of people.

This is the custom in the city of Beijing. Government agencies will meet at the office on the first day of the Lunar New Year, commonly known as "group worship."

Field dates are also among them.

"Public Security Comrade, who are you looking for?"

"Is Director Bai here?"

"Officer Zheng? Come in quickly, come in quickly! I'll be back soon, everyone, eat and drink!"

"What about the group worship? Didn't I disturb you?"

"No, no, what are you going to do?"

"These are students from the police academy that we are about to open. The bureau is short of dormitories, so Director Luo asked us to find a local hospital with vacant rooms to temporarily accommodate them."

Tian Zao also followed out at this time. After hearing what Zheng Chaoyang said, he guessed that he wanted to rent a house in their hospital in the first place for the students to live in.

But since we've come to that point last time, it's a bit unreasonable to let people rent No. 97 Courtyard again. "Director, there seem to be a lot of vacancies in No. 95 Courtyard. If the police academy recruits a lot of students, it would be a good place."

"Since Secretary Tian is familiar with it, Officer Zheng, can you let Secretary Tian take you there? Thank you for your help, Xiao Tian."

"It's no trouble, Director! We are still waiting for you to come back and write the couplets!"

After sending Director Bai away, Tian Zao walked ahead by himself, and Zheng Chaoyang turned around and followed him.

The few of them were silent along the way until they arrived at the gate of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang.

Yan Bugui was pasting couplets outside the gate, which was what he was best at.

"Secretary Tian is here? Is there anything?"

"Teacher Yan! The director asked me to bring a few police officers to the hospital to look at the empty houses. I won't disturb you. You can continue with your work!"

The neighbors in No. 95 Courtyard, who used to dislike Tian Zao, now have a different attitude.

The identity of the old lady in the backyard as a martyr's relative was forged, Yi Zhonghai was arrested again, and the direction of public opinion in the courtyard has returned to normal.

Jia Zhang's reputation is terrible now, and families with men in the family will stay away from her.

As for the steel rolling mill job that Yi Zhonghai took on, it was definitely a failure.

Xu Fugui is now also avoiding Jia Zhangshi, worried that this slut will come around and he won't be able to get rid of her.

Jia Dongxu makes a fuss at home every day. He changes his mind even on things he promised. He blows all his boasting away.

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy. I can help you, Secretary Tian!"

Yan Bugui has always wanted to show up in front of the leaders of the street office in order to replace Xu Fugui, who has a bad reputation.

It is said that flies don't bite seamless eggs. He and his husband Yan Jiecheng have seen Jia Zhang and Xu Fugui flirting more than once.

"At present, there is only one back house and one ear room in the front yard that are vacant, and a row of three side rooms in the middle yard that are vacant. In the back yard, the seal on the old lady's house is still there! Then there is the group of houses in the back wing, but they have been in disrepair for a long time and are not suitable for living."

"How many rooms are there in the back house?"

"There should be at least three or four rooms. In the past, they were all occupied by the family members in the back house and unmarried girls."

"Since it has fallen into disrepair, why not just repair the beams and replace the tiles one day? Let's go and take a look!"

When a few people passed by the central courtyard, they could hear Jia Zhang insulting Madam Wei unscrupulously.

When she saw the police coming, Jia Zhang suddenly became speechless.

I thought it was the police called by Madam Wei!
It was not until Yan Bugui took his men to the backyard that Jia Zhang could not help but spit.

While Mrs. Wei patiently fed He Yushui and changed her clothes, she was also keeping an eye on the movements of those people.

Could it be that the old lady’s matter has not yet come to an end?

I always feel that these people are coming for me.

"Auntie, when can my brother come home?"

"I'm going to visit your brother tomorrow. Do you have anything to say to him?"

"Let him eat well and go home as soon as possible. Yu Shui misses him."

"Our Yu Shui is a good child! Come, try on the new clothes that Auntie picked for you! Do they fit you well?"

"like!"

Every time Mrs. Wei heard He Yushui say this, she felt a sense of satisfaction.

Now all the obstacles that prevented her from getting close to He Yushui have disappeared.

"rainwater!"

"Aunt Yulan?"

"Happy New Year! Do you miss Auntie?"

"Where have you been?"

"Aunt Yulan has been watching over you silently in the city! Aunt Yi, thank you for taking such good care of Yu Shui these days. Is the old lady not here?"

"Aunt Yulan, my wife has been captured!"

Bai Yulan thought to herself, no way?

Who would go against an old lady?

"Don't cry, don't cry. Where is your brother?"

"My brother was also captured."

After saying that, He Yushui looked at Madam Wei standing beside him.

"Aunt Yi, what is going on?"

"Are you Yu Shui's aunt? I haven't heard Zhong Hai mention her!"

"Is Yi Zhonghai not here?"

"Uncle Yi has also been arrested!"

In front of the backyard's back room, Zheng Chaoyang pushed the door open and walked in, holding the kerosene lamp brought by Yan Bugui in his hand, looking around.

Spider silk and ash can be seen everywhere in the house. The remaining wooden furniture is covered with a thick layer of dust, apparently because no one has lived there for a long time.

"It's basically good. There's no problem with the beams. To be on the safe side, we can replace one. But this kind of material is hard to find in the city."

"All the things are good, and they are all old. Usually, when the old lady is here in the back room, she won't let us in, for fear that we might break something."

"That is to say, no one has come in here for a long time?"

Yan Bugui nodded seriously, as if he felt that there was something wrong with what Zheng Chaoyang asked.

"Da Ya, Er Ya, ride your bikes to get everyone here, and tell Bai Ling to bring the testing box!"

"What happened?"

"You two should get out too! We'll be setting up a cordon here soon."

Tian Zao had worked in public security for a few days after all, so he certainly knew what Zheng Chaoyang meant by this.

It seemed that the back house could no longer be lived in. Her mind started to become active again. If Yard 95 could not be rented out in the end, then let them live in Yard 97 and just clean up the storage room where all the stuff was piled up.

As long as these students lived in her courtyard, Zheng Chaoyang would always come, but she soon thought of the woman named Bai Ling, and her good mood immediately dissipated.

As dinner time approached, the entire Nanluoguxiang became lively again.

The neighbors who were originally visiting relatives gathered outside the gate of No. 95 Courtyard. A cordon had been set up here, and someone was guarding the door to maintain order.

"What happened?"

"I heard someone died in the backyard. Even the forensic doctor from the Public Security Bureau came!"

"Who died in the backyard? Liu Haizhong or Xu Fugui?"

Liu Haizhong: Holy crap, you guys are so lacking in virtue! Did I dig up your ancestral graves or kill your parents? Do you really need to curse me like that?
Xu Fugui: Go away, go away, a bunch of gossipers, you have nothing to do after eating, are you bored? Anyone can die, why must it be me?
Bai Ling was cooperating with Ding Rushan in the back room, testing each room one by one.

"Officer Zheng, how did you know there was something wrong here? In my twenty years of medical practice, I know that first impressions are not always accurate."

"Doctor Ding, you are a doctor of medicine. Although this place has been deliberately cleaned, the faint smell of blood embedded in the wooden floor and putty will not deceive people."

"To be honest, I really didn't smell it when I came in. Your sense of smell is really different from that of ordinary people."

Bai Ling wanted to say that she didn't smell it either.

But she held back. Supporting Ding Rushan's opinion at this moment would be tantamount to attacking Zheng Chaoyang.

Ding Rushan pried open a piece of wooden floor, then looked at it for a long time with a magnifying glass and kerosene lamp, then turned to look at Zheng Chaoyang and Bai Ling, "Although it's been a while, this should be human blood, not paint, but the top layer is undoubtedly paint. Someone wanted to cover up the evidence and repainted the original floor with red paint. But paint takes a long time to change color, while human blood will turn dark red very quickly. Look at the places here, they are all very obvious."

When Hao Pingchuan arrived, he was followed by the Military Control Commission's switchboard operator. He came to install electrical wiring in the back room and temporarily install a few light bulbs to facilitate on-site evidence collection.

Once the line was connected and the light bulb was lit, the entire back room suddenly became bright.

The moment Bai Yulan saw so many police officers rushing over, she knew something was going to happen. She left the things she bought to He Yushui, said a few simple words to Madam Wei, and left in a hurry.

But she didn't know that Duomen had noticed her early in the morning and followed her out on his bicycle.

It has been almost eleven years since the Huilan case, and it remains like a thorn in Duomen's heart.

This is also one of the reasons why he has never married.

People call him uncle, but where is he when they need him?
Duomen didn't believe that Huilan died just like that. He wanted to track Bai Yulan to find Huilan's whereabouts, that's all.

But his every move was under Zheng Chaoyang's surveillance, and he was indeed wearing the bulletproof vest.

"There's a tunnel here!"

Someone shouted in the back room, and then a secret room door was carefully opened. Wind blew out, indicating that this secret passage was ventilated and not sealed.

Since the day Lou Zhenxing was kidnapped, Zheng Chaoyang and others knew that many air-raid shelters were dug underground in the old city by the Japanese. This was probably one of them, right?

"Everyone get out of the way. Old Hao and I will go down first!"

The two partners looked at each other, then walked into the secret passage one after another carrying kerosene lamps.

The space below seemed deeper and larger than what I saw in Yuer Hutong that time.

There were many smells intertwined in the air, including the smell of blood, rust, and decay.

Very uncomfortable.

Ding Rushan and Bai Ling were escorted down the secret passage. Wearing masks helped a little, but only a little.

"Old Hao, don't separate. I don't know if there is any danger here!"

Hao Pingchuan looked at him blankly, then smiled innocently.

In fact, Zheng Chaoyang did not pretend this time. He just followed the direction where the golden and red dialog boxes were.

What on earth could be causing so many red dialog boxes? Red has always represented danger.

It even seemed as if the few golden dialog boxes were going to be buried.

The further you go, the stronger the smell of blood becomes, as if you have arrived at an underground slaughterhouse.

"What does this smell like?"

"The smell of rotting corpses, and there were a lot of corpses."

Zheng Chaoyang finally saw clearly the text contents displayed in the red dialog boxes.

But his attention finally fell on the rusty equipment.

"Don't go over there. Wait for Dr. Ding and the others to come over. Then look around for other secret passages and see where they lead to."

Hao Pingchuan responded. He didn't want to stay here any longer. The corpses soaked in unknown liquid made him very uncomfortable.

When Ding Rushan and Bai Ling arrived, they were also shocked by the environment at the scene.

"Ugh~!"

Unable to hold it back, Bai Ling began to dry heave.

"This place looks like a secret human experiment center of the Japanese."

Ding Rushan's voice was very calm, as if he was used to it.

"I still remember that during the years I returned to China, there were often news reports of missing children. What I still remember most vividly is the kidnapping of the child from the Prince's mansion."

[Main quest and side quest 8 has been activated. In 1885, a cholera outbreak occurred in Sijiu City. The Japanese water supply unit once conducted cruel human cholera experiments at the Biological Production Institute in the southwest corner of the Temple of Heaven in Sijiu City. Try to find as many secret agents who are hiding in Sijiu City from the Japanese expatriates who surrendered and returned to their country after . Points and other rewards will be given based on the results.]
