Chapter 67 As expected of my Sister Lu.

"As expected of my Sister Lu."

Wang Ziqiang only admires the strong.

Huang Chendong wasn't surprised. Before, when Sister Lu wasn't this busy, she would occasionally go out with them for training. The brothers in the Independent Battalion had all seen her skills.

As for Xiao Jinli, he looked at Huang Chendong.

"Step on my palm and flip over."

After helping the two people over the wall, Xiao Jinli followed Chu Lulu's example and jumped into the courtyard.

The four people met up.

"You all go inside first, we'll stay in the yard."

"be safe."

Xiao Jinli sent Huang Chendong and Chu Lulu to investigate inside the house, as the courtyard was relatively dangerous and Huang Chendong was slightly weaker in combat.

The two didn't speak. Huang Chendong pried open the door lock and quickly went inside, leaving Chu Lulu to follow behind.

During the mission in the Independent Battalion, everyone was consciously protecting her.

Put her in the safest place.

“I’ve checked, there’s no one inside.”

Huang Chendong told her to wait at the door while he inspected the house by himself before coming over to call her to investigate together.

Although Chu Lulu managed to extract information from Wang Chengjun, she wasn't sure if she could find any leads.

"Was your last survey conducted during the day or at night?"

"at night."

Huang Chendong answered quickly, rummaging through his things before putting them back in their place.

at night?

Chu Lulu looked up at the lampshade, which was a pasted flower lampshade, but this lampshade was very special, it was a dark yellow color.

Modern light bulbs don't have that much wattage, so rooms are usually a bit dim.

Can……

Should I put a lampshade on it?

This doesn't make sense!

"Huang Chendong, I want to turn on the light."

It's daytime today, so even if I turn on the lights, it won't attract anyone's attention.

"A clue?"

Huang Chendong never doubted Lu Jie's abilities.

“Look,” Chu Lulu pointed to the lampshade, “don’t you find it strange?”

Huang Chendong looked at the lampshade. "Who would use a lampshade in a room that's already dark?"

"These kinds of lampshades are usually used for lanterns on gates."

"That's strange."

He didn't find it strange when it wasn't pointed out, but now that Sister Lu has pointed it out, he realizes something is wrong.

The last time they came, it was at night to search.

Each of them carried a flashlight, but they couldn't turn on the lights so as not to alert the enemy.

It was daytime this time, and I didn't even think about turning on the lights.

"Give it a try?"

"Give it a try!"

The two hit it off immediately.

Chu Lulu quickly turned on the light. The yellow light was not very bright, but a shadow could still be seen on the ground.

The lights were turned on and off very quickly.

There's something there.

The two exchanged a glance.

"I'll get it."

Huang Chendong moved a stool over and carefully removed the lampshade.

Inside the lampshade was a small notebook, about half the size of a palm.

After the stools were put back in their places, the two huddled together, and Chu Lulu opened her notebook. "Sixty yuan for rice?"

"Seventy-eight yuan for plain flour?"

"One hundred and twenty-four yuan for soy sauce?"

What is all this...?

Something's fishy.

"These records clearly do not match the prices."

Soy sauce costs 124 yuan?

Let alone a family, even a restaurant's 124 yuan soy sauce would last for half a year.

It clearly doesn't match.

"Will we need a codebook?"

Chu Lulu frowned slightly. Wang Chengjun was actually being so cautious.

"Let's split up and search."

The two began searching, but no matter how hard they searched, they searched every inch of both rooms and still couldn't find the codebook.

Moreover, Wang Chengjun doesn't have many books, only two in total, both of which are ordinary books and don't involve any information about prices.

The two met again.

"I don't have any here."

"I don't have it here either. I've checked the secret passages and hidden compartments, and there's absolutely nothing there."

Secret passages and hidden compartments are Huang Chendong's specialty. He checked them immediately and could ensure that the house did not contain any secret passages or hidden compartments.

Can……

"Could it be that he hid the password somewhere else?"

A cunning rabbit has three burrows; to say that Wang Chengjun's brain is full of excrement seems a bit disrespectful to him.

At least hide something... wait a minute!

"Prices, newspapers?"

Chu Lulu saw the newspapers pasted on the wall and suddenly remembered something.

Words aren't necessarily found in books, are they?

Aren't newspapers pasted all over the walls just words?

In those days, many houses were made of adobe. Over time, dust would fall from the adobe bricks, making cleaning very difficult.

People would go to recycling stations to buy old newspapers to paste on the walls, so the house wouldn't be dusty.

The walls of Wang Chengjun's two rooms were covered with old newspapers.

"That's a huge project."

"See?"

Chu Lulu resigned herself to her fate. Those tiny words on the paper, her eyes, her mouth, her slender waist and long legs, she suffered!

One moment they're squatting, the next they're standing up, and then they have to jump high.

Is it easy for her to discern the contents of the newspaper?

Why is the whole world discriminating against people who are 1.58 meters tall?

Doesn't she want to grow to 1.8 meters tall? But she can't!

Huang Chendong found one first and immediately called Chu Lulu over to take a look.

"Here's a daily price list, the corresponding address, and an advertising board."

Chu Lulu and Huang Chendong huddled together, carefully checking the information, their eyes filled with surprise.

Wang Chengjun, how dare you?

There's even something about the Japanese in it?

"Keep searching."

"I'd like to see if his bottom line can reach the underworld."

Bottom line?

They have absolutely no bottom line.

Chu Lulu's eyes were serious, and she accelerated her investigation.

She found two suspicious newspapers, and using the large pocket of her coat, she took out a small notebook and a pen from her storage space. She didn't write anything else down.

Instead, they clearly recorded the newspaper, date, and edition number.

"I've finished my investigation here."

Huang Chendong was also nearing the end, but he hadn't picked up a pen. When he saw Chu Lulu's notebook and pen, his eyes lit up.

"Sister Lu, what will happen to the Independent Battalion without you?"

She had no choice but to wear this tall hat, whether she wanted to or not.

Chu Lulu chuckled, "Thank you!"

Huang Chendong wrote down the information, and the two of them searched through it, but found no other clues.

As for what was recorded in that notebook, they'll have to decipher it slowly.

"We're all better now."

There aren't many places to hide things in the yard, and Huang Chendong had already ruled out secret passages during the last search.

They searched very quickly, but restored the original state very slowly.

Xiao Jinli waved his hand and pointed to the wall he had jumped into.

Before Chu Lulu could make a move, he grabbed her wrist and said, "Wait a minute."

wait?

Everything's ready, my muscles are tense, and you want me to wait?

Can……

She wasn't a soldier, but thanks to her third master's teachings, the blood of a soldier still flowed in her veins.

She understood the importance of obeying orders.

"good."

Huang Chendong jumped out first, followed by Wang Ziqiang.

The two men checked in both directions and, after confirming there were no problems, stood guard outside the wall.
