After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 436, Episode 477: That Magical Watch (Part 2)
It was a watch with a double gold rim, inside which small diamonds were set; it was also a special commemorative watch.

It looks high-end and classy, ​​but the price isn't actually that expensive. It's only 120 yuan, which is enough for people like Director Feng and Deputy Director Wu to save up for a watch with their monthly salary.

But it has a different meaning. It's a commemorative plaque that only those who have participated in the ten-year conference and received awards receive. It's similar to a military medal. In the entire Beijing Forestry Bureau, only Director Feng and Deputy Director Wu have it. It's an affirmation of their abilities.

Since the decision to send the commemorative watch was made at the last minute, this watch was sent as a belated delivery after the rumors ended.

Unfortunately, when the two watches were delivered to the forestry department, the staff discovered that one of them was broken.

The bad one couldn't be issued; it had to be taken back for replacement. The staff didn't think much of it, gave the good one to Director Feng, explained the situation, and left with the bad one.

As they say, nothing is more coincidental than a story. That day, Deputy Director Wu happened to be late for work. When he arrived, he only saw the people who came to deliver the watch leaving, and he didn't see anything in front of him, so he didn't know that they were just going back to exchange a watch.

He straightened his clothes and went to pick up the watch with an air of authority, only to be told that there was none. After asking around, he learned that only one watch had been delivered. Deputy Director Wu was utterly devastated.

He didn't bother to find out more, let alone ask his arch-rival, Director Feng. He was convinced that Director Feng couldn't stand that he, as a deputy, could have the same commemorative watch as him, and that Director Feng must have used some means to make his watch disappear.

I was so angry that I couldn't go to work for even a minute, so I went to a friend's place to drown my sorrows in alcohol.

I hadn't thought about any strategy, but people just handed it to me on their own initiative.

When he came to his senses, he realized that things had gone terribly wrong, and he felt that there was no turning back unless he gave up everything he already had.

Deputy Director Wu believes he was initially forced into this situation. He said that if he disobeyed, the other party would threaten to report him, so he dared not disobey.

The arrest of Deputy Director Wu was related to this.

He's just a nobody; the major earthquake hasn't affected him yet. If it weren't for the bizarre things he and his wife did, they really wouldn't have been able to trace him back to us in a short time.

Huo Han couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it.

"A few days ago, the police in the old city of XX received a report that two neighbors were fighting because one of them smashed through the wall they wanted."

The story begins with a newlywed couple, whom we'll call Xiaoming and Xiaomei.

A crime drama series recently came from abroad and has become quite popular, attracting many young people. Xiaoming and Xiaomei are among them, and some are even quite addicted to it.

One day, Xiaoming noticed that the shape of a large, not-so-obvious stain on the wall of his living room was a bit strange. It looked like the shape of a person whose drawing had been blurred. Being a fan of crime dramas, he felt that this was not a simple matter, so he called Xiaomei over.

Xiao Mei also felt that this matter was not simple after seeing it.

The two eccentric young men's first thought wasn't to call the police immediately, but to take out a hammer and start smashing the wall.

As we all know, the walls in tenement buildings aren't very thick. When Xiaoming swung his hammer, wow, he ended up staring right into Zhou Tong's eyes, who was hiding money in the opposite room.

One person thought they had truly brought peace to the people, while the other was feeling guilty; both screamed. The tenement building wasn't soundproof to begin with, and this attracted the attention of neighbors on both sides, and even those upstairs and downstairs.

At first, Xiaoming and Xiaomei were in the wrong, since it was Xiaoming who broke the wall, which is an indisputable fact.

The significance changed when everyone saw that Zhou Tong's hall actually housed a statue with eight arms, resembling an octopus that looked eerie.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's an old town; the people living there are no ordinary people. They are either current officials or retired officials.

The two children, Xiaoming and Xiaomei, are special; they are merely borrowed by their parents because none of the properties here belong to any individual.

How could a group of people with high awareness remain indifferent to this scene?
So a group of old men and women rushed up and quickly took Zhou Tong away.

During the process, an old man accidentally kicked the leg of the offering table, shifting it slightly. With a 'thud,' a bundle of newspapers, as thick as a child's arm and as long as a palm, wrapped in newspapers, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and stopped at the old man's feet.

They were all shrewd people; seeing this setup, they all had their own guesses.

Without uttering a sound, they acted in unison. One middle-aged man ran to call the police, while two elderly women dragged Zhou Tong into the house. The rest of the people went into the living room, found places to sit, and closed the door tightly.

As long as no one opens the door and comes in, everything is perfectly normal.

When the police arrived, they found more than twenty bundles of cash, each containing two thousand dollars, under the altar. They also found cash, jewelry, gold bars, and other valuables under the bed in the master bedroom, under the wardrobe in their son's bedroom, and in the cabinet shelves in the kitchen.

When the valuables, with a total value of around 500,000, were laid out on the ground, everyone present was so shocked that they couldn't utter a single word.

In the 1980s and 1910s, what did 500,000 yuan mean in terms of salary for a section chief?
Deputy Director Wu's family is a little better off than Director Feng's, but that's only slightly better than Director Feng, who has no parents or grandparents to support him and even has to support his parents. His parents and grandparents don't need his support and can even occasionally give him some money.

He only earns a fixed salary, his wife doesn't work, and his two sons are in school, one just started working and the other is still in school.

Where would a family like that get 500,000 yuan?

This money is definitely not from a legitimate source.

Then think about that evil statue, ugh~
This case was quite serious, and it alarmed the National Security Bureau.

The people from the National Security Bureau took a look and realized, "Good heavens, there's still one fish that slipped through the net."

The reason he was arrested is... well, you know.

What's amazing is that several of the reasons for this massive earthquake were quite surreal.

One son was bragging at school, and to prove that his dad was indeed better than other dads, he took out his dad's detailed account book to prove that his dad was better at making money than his classmates' dads.

One of them was a father who was arrested at a hair salon. In order to save face and prevent others from finding out, he reported his daughter to the police, hoping to get leniency.
There's another one that's even more unbelievable. When I was buying fruit, I heard the fruit vendor humming a song. I was curious and asked her what she was humming. Then she reported me, saying, "You can't even understand a march. If you're not the problem, who is?"
