"Sorry, Granny Ajia, let me answer the phone."
Quickly walking aside, I lowered my voice and asked, "Brother Liu, I'm busy. Have you found out who is the mole?"
On the other end of the phone, Liu Yuanning also lowered his voice and said: "The investigation is almost done."
I sneered and said, "Let me guess, it was Yan'er who did it?"
Liu Yuanyin's voice on the other end sounded surprised. He said, "Why do you think it was Yan'er who did it?"
"Is not it?"
"No," Liu Yuanning said angrily: "You have suspected the wrong person. I know very well that Yan'er doesn't value my money when she is with me, she values me as a person! According to my investigation in the past two days, my money should be
Before I went to your place, I was transferred to someone else. I suspect it was done by Fat Catfish!"
“Who is Fat Catfish?”
"He was a local businessman. I met him at the hotel that afternoon. My money box was hidden in the car! No wonder the guy kept delaying his time and asked me to stay a little longer."
"Afterwards, Fat Catfish's phone number couldn't be reached. I contacted several local friends but couldn't find him. Damn it, he must have run away."
"Brother Liu, what are you going to do next?"
"How to do it."
Liu Yuanning's tone on the phone gradually became colder. He whispered: "Fat Catfish is unethical. Damn it, he dares to blackmail my money like this. He is dead! I asked a big brother to help, and he agreed. One week
Help me get the money back within a day."
"Okay, let's have another interview then. I'm still busy here, so I'll hang up first."
Putting away my phone, I ran over and continued to accompany the old lady.
Maybe it’s been too long since Guozhuang has had any guests, or maybe she thinks I’m a hotel guest. Anyway, the old lady keeps talking about the glorious history of Guozhuang, which makes my head buzz.
I'm not from her era, so I can't relate to her at all! I couldn't stand it anymore, so I could only excuse myself and leave.
The old lady and the old man came out to see me off. The old man held a lantern in his hand. They leaned against the door and looked at me and smiled.
Watching the door close, I squatted on the ground and smoked a cigarette, got up, wrapped my clothes tightly, and walked around to the back of the old house.
I brought a stone and stepped on it, climbed up the fence, and climbed from the fence to the roof.
Walking on the roof is a technical job. If you want to avoid making any noise, you have to take small steps close to the eaves. You need to be careful not to step on the ground and fall.
Walking from the east wing to the west wing, I lay on the roof, put my ears to the ground, and listened carefully to what was going on in the room.
The old man and the old lady are talking in the room.

"Jiawa, have you ever leaked any information to the outside world?"
"Miss, I have never told anyone about it. I don't know how that boy knew that our Bao family still has those things."
"Miss, I'm afraid it won't be safe in the future. Do you want me to dig it out and change it to another place?"
"Don't act rashly. That kid is very naughty. He doesn't look like a good person at first sight. If he comes back tomorrow, I will grind him for a few days to see if I can grind him away."
"Jiawa, I can't remember clearly. Is tomorrow Saturday or Sunday?"
"Miss, tomorrow is Sunday."
"Oh, it's Sunday, so Xiaoshu Bao is coming to see me tomorrow."
"Yes, miss. I have prepared things for the reception."
"Well, Jiawa, come here and help me squeeze my feet."
"Miss, I'm already old, and I'm afraid my health may not be good anymore."
"Haha" I heard the old lady in the room laugh and say: "As you get older, you have your own ways of doing things. Whether your body is okay or not, it's not you who have the final say, it's me who has the final say."
Then the candles in the room were extinguished and they were plunged into darkness.
I hid on the roof and was dumbfounded.
You know something is weird!
It turns out that the two of them still have this secret relationship. It sounds like the treasure is buried there?
Also, who is the little schoolbag the old lady is talking about?
I quietly retreated and found a corner to spend the night.
Early the next morning, I took a ride back to the county hotel.
I first reported the latest situation at Liu Yuanning's side to the boss, and then told me about Guozhuang.
He raised his head and asked in confusion: "Are you sure this family really has something from the palace?"
"Make sure you take the lead! I heard the old lady admit it last night! She said she buried it somewhere and hid it!"
"Then what are you going to do?"
"Don't steal or rob, look for the opponent's weaknesses! Try to get the things!"
"Well, please be careful. There is still time. We have many things to do, but we don't have much time."
"Get the idea."
I took a shower in the hotel, then rented a second-hand car, bought two barrels of peanut oil, and went to Baojia Guozhuang.
"What are you doing, Housheng! We are not related to you, why did you send us something?"
I smiled and said, "Master, just accept it! This is a little bit of my thoughts as a junior." .??.
The old man's face turned pale, and he sighed: "Hey, I know what you mean. There's no need to waste your time. Our Bao family really doesn't have any ancestral treasures. Even if we do, they must have been sold a few lifetimes ago. You can take the oil."
We don’t accept it.”
I was about to speak when I suddenly saw the old man's face light up and he walked out on crutches.
A car came.
A woman of about thirty years old got out of the car. This woman had fair skin, curly hair, and a slightly plump figure. She was carrying a lot of things in her hands. Behind her was a very cute little girl, who looked very young depending on her age.
Seven or eight years old.
"Grandpa A! Grandpa A! I'm here to see you!"
"Ouch! Let me look at my little schoolbag! I have grown taller again!"
The old man picked up the little girl with a doting look on his face.
"Come down quickly! You girl! Your Grandpa A is getting older and can no longer hold you."
"Mom, I won't!"
The little girl hugged the old man's neck and refused to let go. The middle-aged woman said with a smile on her face that grandma was in good health.
The old man said it was very good, no illness or disaster.
The middle-aged woman nodded, turned to look at me and asked, "You are."
"Oh, hello, eldest sister, I am a junior with breast milk, and I came here specially to deliver oil today."
"Master A, this is our relative? Why don't I recognize him?"
The old man coughed and said he was a distant relative.
After the mother and daughter entered, the old man held his crutch horizontally and blocked me from the door: "Young man, please leave quickly! You are not welcome!"
I wouldn't dare to force my way in if no one is allowed in, but I'm not the kind of person who gives up easily.
On the contrary, the more you hide something, the more I want to get it.
After a few people entered, the door slammed shut!
The mother and daughter drove up and waited at the door for a while. Seeing no one around, I opened the chassis cover, unscrewed the engine oil cap, and poured in half a barrel of soybean oil.
Then I drove away and found a secluded place to wait.
This wait lasted all day!
At about nine o'clock in the evening, I saw the car driving over.
Smoked two in the car
Smoking, I took a taxi and followed him.
Not long after walking, I saw the small car parked in the middle of the dirt road from a distance, with white smoke constantly coming out of the front. The middle-aged woman got out of the car, took a look, and made a phone call with a worried look on her face.
"Sister, why did the car break down?"
"Hey, it's you! I don't know what happened! The car broke down."
"Oh, how about I help you take a look?"
"Oh! Thank you so much."
I opened the case cover, moved it here and there, shook my head and said, "It's not easy to fix, maybe the cylinder gasket is pulled."
The middle-aged woman was a little anxious. She hurriedly said: "Then what should we do? The children will have to go to school tomorrow morning!"
"Sister, where do you live? How about I send you there?"
There was a hint of vigilance in her eyes and she said, "No, we can just wait here for the rescue vehicle."
I smiled and said: "Sister, look at the wilderness around here, what if there is any danger? We are all relatives, I can still hurt you."
"No, no, I never meant that!" she defended repeatedly.
I opened the car door and said with a smile: "Sister, come up quickly! It's so cold, don't let the child catch a cold. Just leave this car here. If you can't throw it away, wait for the repair shop to tow it away."
Hearing what I said, she hesitated for a few seconds, and then pulled her child into the car.
As we were driving on the road, I looked ahead and asked, "Sister, where is your husband? It's rare to come back to see our grandma, why doesn't he come?"
At this moment, the little girl said loudly: "Uncle, I know! Dad doesn't have time! He lives in the sea and takes care of dolphins!"
The child's words are innocent, but I heard the connotation of the words.
"Sister, are you brother-in-law?"
She twitched her nose, forced out a smile and said, "There was an accident and he's gone."
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! My condolences, eldest sister."
"It's okay, it's been several years, and I've gradually gotten used to it."
"Oh, you haven't said where you live yet, sister?"
"I live in Ya'an, not Kangding. You can just send us to a place in the city where there are buses."
"What time is it already? There are no buses on the road. Otherwise, my friend has opened a hotel in the south of the city. You go to his place to stay for one night. When the car is repaired tomorrow, you can drive back with your child."
She thought about it for a few minutes, smiled, and said, sorry for bothering you.
