Return to Splendid

When Xing Yi came to the old house, he met a temporary tenant and introduced him to three houses with a monthly rent of 25 yuan each.

The tenant said that the landlord was not in the county and the rent was remitted to him at the beginning of each year.

"We also sublet it from someone else. We have never met the landlord. The lease term is up next month and we will no longer rent it. We will move out."

Without revealing his identity, Xing Yi contacted the landlord, Mr. Cai's nephew, by phone and said he wanted to rent it for three months, and the rent would be at the original standard.

The nephew's voice was hoarse and he directly said that the house was for sale. If you want it, you can get it at a low price.

Xing Yi asked: "Are there any relevant procedures?"

The other party said: "The house belongs to my uncle. He died and I don't know where he put the formalities. But don't worry, it's okay. There is absolutely no one who will come to make trouble with you."

After a pause, he continued: "It is precisely because of the lack of formalities that we deal with it cheaply."

Xing Yi said: "I will rent it first, wait for a while, and then I will answer you when I feel comfortable."

"I'll give you a month to think about it."

Therefore, when the friend concerned is mentioned, it is actually fictitious. After the case is solved, the fictitious friend will naturally disappear. The director takes over many cases, and gradually they will be forgotten.

Even if you know it's a scam, it doesn't hurt to cheat because it will help solve the case.

He kept a calm expression, walked ahead, opened the door, and entered the room with the director. Although the room was relatively clean with very little dust, at first glance, it was empty, except for a large coffee table in the middle and a coffee table against the wall. A square table, two wooden square stools, and no other decent furniture.

Xing Yi led the director and looked around the three rooms next to each other.Let the director continue to check, go out, walk to the yard, turn around, and look outside.

Seeing his state, the director asked: "Teacher Xing, what are you looking at?"

"Director, you didn't realize that the environment here is particularly good."

"Well, it's not bad. It's just that the house is a bit old. If we spend some money to renovate it, it could be a villa."

After the director finished the inspection, he came back and sat on the wooden sofa. The wooden sofa creaked and could not bear the weight of the director.Xing Yi found an ax and struck it a few times to stabilize it.

The director sat down and wanted to smoke. He handed him a cigarette. He shook his head: "I can't."

The director took a long puff, turned his face to the door and blew out a cloud of smoke, fanned the outside with his palm, and turned around and asked, "When will your friend come back?"

Xing Yi sat on the wooden chair against the wall opposite. This was his desk, and it was very comfortable to sit on.

Looking at the small tabletop in front of Kang Enpei, the director had not noticed what was on it and needed further guidance. He said: "He didn't say it, and I didn't ask him. I don't know. Do you think it was a waste of time? "

"I'm a bit pressed for time today. I'll come back at another time. I still have to ask before coming and make sure to contact him."

"Shall I write him a note?"

"Well, yes."

Xing Yi came over and squatted down, reaching for a few pieces of paper on the table and looking for a blank one to write on. His hand was a little heavy and the paper was pushed to the ground.The director bent down and picked it up. When he saw a pattern on a piece of paper, he picked it up and looked at the light at the door.

"What is that?" Xing Yi asked.

"It's nothing, just a sketch." The director said.

"Yes, my friend also likes painting, pencil drawing, gouache painting and so on."

"The drawing on this paper is not what you said it was."

"Let me see?"

The director gave him the picture.

"Where is this painting? There are rivers, hillsides, and contour lines. Is this a topographic map of a certain place?"

The director folded the sketch in half and put it in his pocket.

"You want to take it back to study?"

"I feel that part of the picture is similar to the map of our hometown, which is interesting. I will take it back to compare it and return it to him when we meet again."

"He won't want any more random sketches, just throw them away."

"That's not okay. We can't just take a needle from the people."

The sketch attracted the attention of the director, and Xing Yi was secretly happy. This was the first step. Next, will the director find any clues in the sketch?Have you overestimated him?This is like a plot in a TV series. The director stayed under the dim light and thought hard. After a night passed, it was dawn. When he opened the window and saw the rising sun, he suddenly woke up...

If there is no movement for a few days, we have no choice but to have a showdown with the director and tell him that a friend has called. He wants us to go near the dam of the hydropower plant and around the diversion tunnel. If we search in that area, we will find the theft. There are clues of suspicion in the trees...

The two came out, Xing Yi locked the door and put the key back.

After walking a long way, he turned back and looked at the house for a while.

After sending Kang Enpei away, Xing Yi went to the business office again. He didn't see Ni Shuzhen, so he asked Xu Lu and found out that his job position had been adjusted.

Xu Lu took him to the mail sorting center in the mood to watch the excitement.

Just after get off work, Ni Shuzhen came out. The two stood three feet apart, facing each other, with the right height and matching body shape. The woman's cheeks were slightly red, and the man's toothy smile.

This scene was right in front of me, and I couldn't help but see it. Colleagues in the sorting room were crowded together, walking quickly past, stopping not far away, and stopping to eavesdrop.

"Have you gotten off work?" the boy asked.

"Ah, get off work." The girl replied.

"Such a coincidence."

"Well, it's a bit of a coincidence."

Colleagues' bodies collided with each other and laughed knowingly.

Xu Lu felt embarrassed and ran away.

The two walked out into the street together.

Now that the mood has stabilized and the conversation has returned to normal, where should we start?Are you talking about what happened in Fenghuang Datun?That's too direct, but you can't go too far. You have to be more subtle. Ask if there is anything going on at home first. This seems to be safer.

Ni Shuzhen said: "It's nothing special. It's just that my father has another stomachache."

"You still said it's nothing special. It's a very important thing. Have you been to the hospital? Have you had any attacks before?"

"This is the second time. It's exactly the same as last time. When he had an attack, he was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up. He was rushed to the hospital. His temperature and blood pressure were measured, but he didn't look that serious anymore. Doctor I asked to be hospitalized for observation, but he shouted that he wanted to go home and not live or die in there."

"Then don't be careless."

Xing Yi had an impression of this. When he fell ill, his medical conditions were not very good. He took his blood pressure, listened to his abdomen, and tapped his knees, but nothing could be found.A few years later, I had another attack. I had a B-ultrasound and repeated examination twice, and it was confirmed that it was kidney stones and hydrops.Later, she found out that there was a family secret recipe of an old Chinese medicine practitioner. Ni Shuzhen went to find it, asked someone to take it with her, and gave her a gift. The old Chinese medicine doctor prescribed four doses and made a soup. She drank it for 20 days. Have relapsed.

We can't wait now. We need to find an old Chinese medicine doctor as soon as possible, prescribe the medicine, and decoct the medicine for him to take as soon as possible.

But I couldn't remember which street or alley the old Chinese medicine doctor lived in, nor could I remember his appearance. But anyway, he was in the city, so if he looked for it street by street, he would definitely be able to find him.

Xing Yi said: "Based on what you said, it is very likely that one of my masters had the same disease, but I'm not sure. My master later cured him with a prescription prescribed by an old Chinese doctor. I I’ll contact him after a while and ask him to give me a copy of the prescription, and I’ll grab a few doses to drink.”

Then he said that he did have something to do yesterday and went to the countryside. He received a call from Hu Yanli. As he was talking, the signal was lost and he came back in the evening.Early this morning, I met Director Kang again. It was hard to refuse to come here specifically to find out about the theft of trees and fires in their rural forestry farm, which was so far away.

"Is he the director of the police station?" Ni Shuzhen seemed interested in this.

"Yes, he is the director of the Shaxi Township Police Station. He is a very responsible and capable person. He and I met after we came down from Fenghuang Village. Fenghuang Village is in the northeast of Shaxi Township. In fact, A mountain top is very broad and the wind is very strong. It is usually level [-] or [-], often level [-] or [-], so it is very suitable for setting up a wind farm.”

Ni Shuzhen looked like she was listening very carefully.

"I was invited to climb Fenghuang Datun by a new friend. He is Yue Xin from Shaxi Township. He is the same age as me. We met on the farm bus. He is a very nice person. He came to know that I was working on an irrigation station in Shangyan Village. They came to play with me and officially invited me on behalf of their nature activity group to go climbing Fenghuang Datun with them to get close to nature and understand it. This is a very interesting activity."

After Xing Yi finished speaking, he stopped and left a five-second pause to observe the changes in Ni Shuzhen's expression.

Ni Shuzhen listened to him quietly, staring into the distance.
