"I went out. Didn't I find an iron box yesterday? Do you remember that small box?"
Manshu didn't hide it, she just didn't want her elders to worry, so she didn't say hello before going out.
But now that things are done, she doesn't mind Professor Yan knowing.
Professor Yan understood: "Did you go to find someone to open the box? Who were you looking for?"
After he asked, he answered himself: "Is it Lao Qiao?"
"Old Qiao seems to be an expert at first glance, but it's a pity that he likes to live in a corner."
"However, many of the items in his hands have unknown origins, and the police have no clues about him, but this does not mean that he is really clean."
"Be careful when dealing with him. If he really does something illegal, the police will never tolerate it."
Manshu said he knew.
The captain of the literary investigation team said that time that they had been keeping an eye on Lao Qiao for a long time.
After all, compared to others, Lao Qiao had an unusually large number of genuine goods.
No one wants to know what opportunities he has, they just want his things to be clean.
"Grandpa, don't worry. However, I think many of his things may have been collected in the countryside a few years ago."
"But the cunning rabbit has three caves. He must have hidden a lot."
As far as Manshu knew, Lao Qiao worked at the scrapyard during those special ten years. It was a good place where he could buy and exchange a lot of things.
Lao Qiao has a keen eye and no shortage of means. It is not surprising that he was able to save so many things.
"That's good." Professor Yan nodded.
As long as he is not reselling cultural relics and the person has some skills, he will not interfere.
"The box is open? He has a way to find the hidden keyhole in the machine lock. I'm not surprised. As long as you study hard, you can really find a way."
"However, the lock itself should require a key to open. Blind intervention with external force may cause the lock to be locked from the inside, or the self-destruction device inside may be activated."
"How did he solve this problem?"
I have to say that Professor Yan is still very studious at his age.
"The keyhole is indeed not difficult for Qiao Lao to find. He seems to have opened the roulette wheel and found the keyhole based on the correspondence of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams."
"As for the key, it's a coincidence that Xiaolong has been wearing it since he was a child."
"Later, Mr. Qiao was worried that he had lost it, so he helped to collect it."
This is indeed a coincidence.
Professor Yan nodded.
He didn't even wonder what was in the small box.
He just said: "Since you got that small box back from the director of the orphanage and said it belonged to your old aunt, it might have been left for Xiaolong. Remember to give it to her."
Manshu nodded: "I gave away all the other things, but one thing was left for our Yan family, so I took it back."
Professor Yan was not surprised. Manshu was very positive about that thing. If she didn't have what she wanted, she would definitely not be so anxious to open it.
"Just be sensible."
On the other side, Ichiro Oda, who had completely lost contact with Chi and received internal news that Chi had committed suicide, almost fainted in the ward.
He had no idea that after losing two generals, he would also lose a strong general named Chi.
Chi has been with him for many years and has never made any mistakes. This time, he was killed in China.
Sure enough, my father was right, China was here to defeat them!
Everything here in China is full of variables, he shouldn't be careless!
However, before the tasks assigned by the superiors were completed, they failed one after another, which made Oda Ichiro very uneasy.
