Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhao Ke purchased this old villa at a relatively cheap price.
On the surface, it seemed that he had taken advantage, but now that something like this happened, the situation instantly made him feel what "good value for money" means.
Yes, the reason why it is worth this price may be because there is a secret room, so it is cheap.
Zhao Ke was a little speechless and said in annoyance: "If I had known this was the case, I would never have bought it."
Glancing at Xu Meng beside him, Zhao Ke said again: "It's all your fault. You like this style of villa. Is it okay now?"
"Can you blame me?" When Xu Meng heard this, he said angrily: "You also liked it at the beginning, and you said the price was cheap. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for us to buy another building?"
"You took advantage of that little advantage, and now if something like this happens, you blame me?"
Xu Meng is also a very strong woman, which instantly made Zhao Ke a little embarrassed.
Lu Weiwei also came over and comforted her: "Don't argue for now. This matter must be related to that old lady."
"As for who the residents here are? I think they may be relatives of the old lady."
"How old is the old lady?" Gu Chen asked.
Zhao Ke thought for a few seconds and replied: "About 70 years old, right?"
"Then do you think he looks similar to the person in the photo?" Gu Chen asked again.
Zhao Ke also took a closer look according to Gu Chen's light. After thinking about it for a few seconds, he said: "Look carefully, it does look a bit like it, especially the eyes and nose. They are almost printed from the same mold."
"Then this person may be her son or her brother." Officer Wang also guessed at random, but holding a short knife in his hand, he couldn't help but said curiously:
"But, there are all kinds of knives inside. What does this mean? Does it mean that the owner of this house may be a swordsman?"
"It is illegal to possess controlled knives privately now," Yuan Shasha also reminded.
Gu Chen stood at the entrance of the cave, communicating with Zhao Ke and Xu Meng, recalling the various furnishings in the room, and said slowly:
"Currently, it appears that there is no secret passage in the room. It is just an ordinary room that has been blocked by bricks for many years."
"Judging from the objects inside, the owner of this room must have liked knives and other items during his lifetime."
"And all the items are neatly arranged. It seems that this is the original appearance of this room, but the owner is not here. Perhaps the previous owner sealed this room for some commemorative purpose."
"Then if you live by yourself, that's no problem. If you sell it to others without telling the truth, is it a bit too selfish?" Lu Weiwei thought about being able to seal up a separate room in the villa, which is something that no one else would have thought of.
Zhao Ke didn't care, he just explained his attitude: "If there has been no murder in this house, then I don't mind."
"I'm afraid that there has been a murder in this room. I absolutely cannot tolerate this. I must ask the previous owner to give an explanation."
"But now we can't find the homeowner, or maybe the homeowner lost contact on purpose? Maybe she didn't go abroad at all." Xu Meng leaned next to her husband Zhao Ke, making various guesses.
At this moment, everyone in the secret room has finished checking and has arrived at the exit of the room.
Yuan Shasha patted the dust on her hands and explained the reason: "Nothing in the room has been touched, and these more valuable items have been preserved."
"It can be seen that the previous owner may have a special feeling for this house. If possible, she would definitely not want to sell it."
"However, she may have sold the villa because of some unavoidable circumstances and needed money urgently, but she was unwilling to compromise on this room, so she thought of this method to make the secret room of this villa more accessible.
It will always exist.”
"What Xiao Yuan said makes sense." Gu Chen walked out of the room with one of the blades and said involuntarily:
"This room is more like a museum. It is very particular in terms of the level of decoration, the age of the furniture, and the various displays of the items."
Picking up one of the blades, Gu Chen gently pulled out the scabbard and continued to remind:
"You see, although there is a lot of dirt and dust on the surface of the blade, the blade is very sharp and has been opened."
"After so many years, it has been preserved so well, which shows that the owner has undergone some anti-oxidation treatment on the blade."
"With such care, it can be seen that this house is indeed very important to the owner. It is really just that he had no choice but to sell the house because he needed money urgently."
"It's terrible! I thought I was picking it up before. I saw that the other party was a lonely old lady, so she was easier to talk to. But who knew? This old lady would actually play this trick with us? It's really hard to guard against." Zhao Ke is also very depressed now.
If there is anyone who is most likely to seal up this apartment? It is undoubtedly the old lady who was the previous owner.
Gu Chen thought for a while and asked Zhao Ke: "By the way, Mr. Zhao, do you still have your house purchase contract? There should be some identity information of the old lady on it, such as an ID number."
After all, to sign this kind of house purchase contract, necessary identity confirmation is essential.
Therefore, it is very possible that the old lady’s ID number is retained.
Gu Chen can also follow the ID number to find the whereabouts of the previous homeowner.
When Zhao Ke heard this, his eyes were dumbfounded, and then he patted his head and suddenly realized: "What a harm! How could I forget this?"
"The old lady's phone number can't be reached, but I can check her identity information."
Thinking of this, Zhao Ke immediately said: "Officer Gu, wait for me here, I will go find the house purchase contract right away."
"Okay." Gu Chen was not in a hurry now.
After all, the investigation will be meaningless until the necessary clues are found.
So under Xu Meng's invitation, several people temporarily sat on the sofa in the living room.
Not long after, Zhao Ke took a document bag from upstairs, opened it casually, handed it to Gu Chen and said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Officer Gu, this is the purchase contract for this old villa that I purchased a few years ago."
After Gu Chen took over the house purchase contract, he asked Zhao Ke: "What about the real estate certificate?"
"Here it is." Zhao Ke handed over another document.
Gu Chen temporarily opened the house purchase contract and found the signatories.
On the bottom page of the contract, there is the signature of Zhao Ke and the signature of the previous landlord.
"The previous landlord's name was Sun Yunmei?" Gu Chen frowned, then took out his mobile phone, took a photo of Sun Yunmei's information, then sent the picture to He Junchao, and asked He Junchao to check Sun Yunmei's specific identity in the message in the dialog box.
Later, Gu Chen took photos of all the texts of the house purchase contract, including the real estate certificate.
Xu Meng approached Gu Chen and asked weakly: "Officer Gu, do you think we can find Sun Yunmei's whereabouts through this ID card? What if she goes abroad?"
"It's more complicated when going abroad, but if you stay in China, it should be easier to find her, because many businesses now require an ID card. Please don't worry about this." Gu Chen also roughly explained the role of the ID card.
Xu Meng explained it again.
Xu Meng nodded slightly, but didn't hold out much hope.
Later, Gu Chen called Ding Liang's phone number and asked Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to bring someone over to take away the items.
Especially the various knives in the room. These are controlled knives and cannot be left here at will.
Otherwise, it will be taken away by others and circulated in the market, which may easily cause some public security cases.
However, less than 10 minutes had passed before Gu Chen's cell phone rang.
Without saying anything, Gu Chen directly opened the answer button and asked: "Brother He, how is your investigation over there?"
"We have found this Sun Yunmei." He Junchao said.
"Then where is she now? Is she abroad or somewhere?" Gu Chen asked again.
He Junchao's chuckle came from the other end of the phone: "Gu Chen, what kind of foreign country? This Sun Yunmei has never been abroad at all."
"What did you say? She has never been abroad?" After hearing this explanation, Gu Chen couldn't help but wonder.
You know, according to Zhao Ke's words, almost all of the relatives of this old lady named Sun Yunmei live abroad.
And she sold the big villa and planned to move abroad to reunite with her relatives.
But now He Junchao told himself that this Sun Yunmei had never been abroad at all, which inevitably made Gu Chen suspicious.
So Gu Chen asked again: "Then where is she now? Can you help me find her?"
"Yes, she also handled financial management services at Jiangnan Bank last month, and judging from the use of her ID card in the past three years, she has been staying in Jiangnan City in the past few years. To find her, you can go to Luojia in the west of the city.
Take a look at the mountains.”
"Luojia Mountain?" Gu Chen frowned and said, "You haven't been abroad in the past few years?"
"That's for sure. Unless her ID card has been used by others, she is using it herself. Anyway, if you go to Luojia Mountain and take a look, you can probably find her."
"I can help you find the specific address based on some financial management services she has handled, and will send it to you now."
"Okay." After briefly communicating with He Junchao, Gu Chen hung up the phone.
Lu Weiwei immediately came over and said, "What did He Junchao say?"
"This Sun Yunmei has never left Jiangnan City at all. The so-called going abroad is probably a lie." Gu Chen said.
"Liar?" When Xu Meng heard this, he was a little surprised: "Why is this old lady lying?"
"Are you stupid, wife?" Seeing that Xu Meng was still in the dark, Zhao Ke didn't complain and said: "If this old lady doesn't say that, we can believe that she is eager to take action and use this old villa at a very low price.
Price to sell to us?”
"That's true." Xu Meng, who came to his senses, was also confused: "Is this old lady deceiving us?"
"Originally, I thought she was just a lonely old lady, a very sincere person, who might not have any bad intentions, and might be able to get some advantage in purchasing the house."
"But now it seems that this old lady is very scheming and pretends to know nothing, but in fact she knows everything and is not so deceptive."
"Don't worry, we already know the old lady's address. The situation will be clear when we go there to find out more." Seeing that Zhao Ke and Xu Meng were still struggling with this, Lu Weiwei said comfortingly.
Not long after, Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong also arrived at the scene with several auxiliary police officers.
After Gu Chen briefly explained to a few people, he asked Ding Liang and Huang Zunlong to take away all the knives, take photos of the scene again to collect evidence, and seal it with a cordon.
After the door of the old villa was blocked, Zhao Ke also said with a complicated expression: "Comrade police, I hope you can help me find the owner as soon as possible and ask about the specific situation so that we can decorate with peace of mind."
"Otherwise, this matter is a matter of concern and may affect our living mood. After all, we have spent so much money, but if it is a haunted house, then we will definitely have to sell it, which will definitely make it difficult for us to sell it. These landlords need to bear responsibility.
"
"If it's not a haunted house, I don't mind, as long as you explain the situation clearly to me."
"I understand your request." Gu Chen put away the notebook and said calmly: "We will convey your request and help you investigate what is going on in this secret room."
"Then thank you. It's really hard for you police officers."
"It should."
After a brief exchange at the door, several people drove away.
Gu Chen will drive everyone to Luojia Mountain according to the address provided by He Junchao.
…
…
In the car, when Lu Weiwei heard the name "Luojia Mountain", she couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly asked Gu Chen:
"Junior brother Gu, what kind of mountain is this Luojia Mountain? Why haven't I heard of such a mountain in Jiangnan City?"
"Haha, Luojia Mountain is not a mountain, but a place name." Seeing that Lu Weiwei didn't understand this, Gu Chen also laughed dryly and explained.
"Place name?" Lu Weiwei couldn't help but wonder.
Officer Wang, who was sitting in the back row, chuckled and complained: "I said to Lu Weiwei, I usually ask you to study the topographic map of Jiangnan City, but you just don't listen. You don't even know this?"
"You know what you said." Lu Weiwei was not convinced and retorted.
Officer Wang sighed and said angrily: "This 'Luojia Mountain' used to be the place name of a village in the city. Later, after the transformation of the village in the city, it was no longer called 'Luojia Mountain'. There are several communities there, all
Has a name."
"However, the place name 'Luojia Mountain' has been retained, so when many people ask about that location, many people still say 'Luojia Mountain'."
"So that's it?" After hearing Officer Wang's words, Lu Weiwei asked again: "Then this place used to be a village in the city. After the renovation, is it particularly prosperous?"
"I can't say it's prosperous, it's just so-so. The geographical location of this place is not very good. It's relatively close to the west of the city, but it has a large population." Officer Wang also based on his understanding of the west area of Jiangnan City,
Let’s briefly talk about it.
Gu Chen, who was driving, was thoughtful and puzzled: "This Sun Yunmei used to live in such a big old villa, and the location is not bad."
"And judging from the decoration in the villa, the quality of life is quite high. But why sell the villa? Why live in a village in the city like Luojia Mountain?"
"The house prices there seem to be just average, right? Is it to free up money for investment and financial management?" Yuan Shasha said.
Gu Chen shook his head: "I think it's unlikely. After all, the secret room in this old villa should be very important to this old lady named Sun Yunmei."
"After all, it is not difficult to tell from the furnishings and items in the room that she laid out the room as a memorial hall and preserved almost all the items in the room."
"Would she be willing to give up such a well-arranged room to others? If she didn't have to, I don't think so."
After Gu Chen finished speaking, the car suddenly became silent for a few seconds.
Everyone is thinking about Sun Yunmei's various possibilities based on Gu Chen's words.
Indeed, unless it was absolutely necessary, such a seemingly monumental room would probably not be given away to anyone.
But the old lady only gave up the villa, but kept the room.
This seems to be too weird.
Lu Weiwei also smiled and said: "Fortunately, we now know Sun Yunmei's address. Just ask her and we will find out."
After thinking for a while, Lu Weiwei asked again: "By the way, Junior Brother Gu, where does this Sun Yunmei live in Luojia Mountain?"
"Huayuan Community, Building 6, Unit 2, Room 302." Gu Chen said casually.
It didn't take long before everyone found the Huayuan Community, a very old and dilapidated place.
When she lowered the car window and saw these old-structured houses, Lu Weiwei said in disbelief: "Is Sun Yunmei living here? Isn't this place too old?"
Pointing to the wall of the house, Lu Weiwei added: "Look, the walls of this house have been repainted."
"It seems to be much more beautiful, but in fact the structure of the house is still that kind of old unit building, with only 4 floors per building?"
"That's right." After Yuan Shasha got off the car, she looked around and couldn't help complaining: "There are high-rise buildings all around, but this place is a bit shabby. It has become a low-lying area among these high-rise buildings."
"It is estimated that in another 10 years, these houses will have to be demolished." Officer Wang also had a deep feeling after getting out of the car.
The community is surrounded by iron railings, and there are many stalls selling handmade shoe soles at the entrance.
There are also some hawkers who set up stalls selling fruits.
The roads here are not very spacious, and the traffic coming and going is very dense, but it is also easy to cause traffic jams.
Gu Chen led everyone into the community, and according to the address, they came to the door of Room 302, Unit 2, Building 6, Huayuan Community.
Lu Weiwei took the lead and knocked on the door three times, then asked: "Is anyone home?"
After the words fell, there was no response from the house, so Lu Weiwei continued to knock on the door, and then continued.
But no matter how Lu Weiwei knocked on the door, there was no movement inside the house.
"Aren't you at home?" Lu Weiwei turned around and asked.
"Maybe, I might go shopping. After all, this Sun Yunmei seems to be alone." Yuan Shasha also expressed her thoughts.
But at this moment, there was a sudden movement of people slowly going upstairs in the corridor. Everyone heard it, so they all looked downstairs, waiting for the slow-moving old man.
"Tuk! Tuk! Tuk!"
Every step seemed to be extremely difficult, until everyone saw an old man with short gray hair appearing in the gap between the stairs, and everyone suddenly started to look forward to it.
"Sun Yunmei." Before the old lady could turn around, Lu Weiwei was the first to call.
