Cheng Jiawen's eyes lit up, and he secretly rejoiced. Without hesitation, he stretched out his foot and stomped it hard on the ground. A crisp sound came from under his feet, a sound that was clearly different from the dull sound of stepping on solid earth.
With years of experience and keen intuition, Cheng Jiawen immediately realized that there might be a hole underneath.
He quickly squatted down, grasped the edge of the board with both hands, and then carefully lifted it up.
As the wooden planks were slowly peeled back, a hidden cellar suddenly appeared before their eyes. The cellar was filled with a stale smell and the light was dim, making it difficult to see what was inside.
Cheng Jiawen's lips curled up, and he was a little excited, but he was not overwhelmed by the scene in front of him. He quickly ran into the room and whispered, "Xiaofan, Ziwen, come quickly, we found a cellar in the yard."
When the two heard that Cheng Jiawen had made a discovery, they immediately followed him to the backyard.
They saw the backyard in the corner of the yard and said, "Great, let's go down and take a look." After saying that, Jiang Ziwen wanted to rush down.
Cheng Jiawen quickly grabbed him and said, "Wait, wait two minutes. I don't know if this cellar is newly dug or old. Let's let it air out before going in."
"Yeah, a few minutes won't make a difference." Although Xiao Fan was also very anxious, he was still rational. He knew that the cellar had just been opened and he had to wait for a while until there was enough oxygen before going down.
Jiang Ziwen circled around the entrance to the cellar. "What's going on? I've been searching for this entrance for so long during the day, but I still can't find it."
Cheng Jiawen pointed to the fallen pile of firewood and said, "The entrance to the cellar was covered by the firewood. We didn't notice it during the day."
"Tsk, he can't be a spy, he hides things so well." Jiang Ziwen said sarcastically.
After several minutes, Cheng Jiawen turned on the flashlight and shone it into the cellar. "It should be fine. Let's go down."
"good."
Cheng Jiawen jumped down from the cellar with a flashlight. After confirming that there was no danger, Xiaofan and Jiang Ziwen also jumped down one after another.
The cellar was pitch black, with no other light except Cheng Jiawen's flashlight.
Cheng Jiawen shone the flashlight around and found that the cellar was full of boxes. He walked to a box and was about to open it, but found that the box was locked.
He handed the flashlight to Jiang Ziwen, then took out a piece of wire from his pocket and started to unlock the door.
Seeing Cheng Jiawen's skillful movements, Jiang Ziwen couldn't help but admire him and said, "Jiawen, how come you can do everything? Now you can even open locks?"
"I asked Dashu to teach me this before, and it just came in handy." He said casually while trying to unlock the door.
"Click~" the lock opened.
Cheng Jiawen reached out to open the lid of the box, and what came into view were bags of explosives.
Xiaofan and Jiang Ziwen leaned over to take a look, their scalps tingling as they muttered to themselves, "Hiss, there are so many! If they really explode, what will the consequences be..."
Cheng Jiawen looked at the explosives in front of him and couldn't help but feel panic. There were so many explosives in the village. If it was true, wouldn't his house be...
His house is not far from Wang Mao's house, only a few hundred meters away, and the diameter is only a hundred meters. If there is so much explosives and it really explodes, won't there be nothing left of his house?
He shook his head, trying to get rid of the bad idea and not daring to think about it anymore. He couldn't imagine what crazy actions he would take if there was a real explosion and his family was hurt.
He thought he would go crazy. The only people he cared about now were Xu's father, Xu's mother and Xu Qianjiao. If he really hurt them, he thought he would do everything he could to avenge them.
He has been lonely for so long, and he will not allow anyone to destroy the warmth he has finally obtained.
Xiao Fan looked at the remaining boxes and felt a little excited. "Jia Wen, open the remaining boxes and take a look."
If they really found the explosives, they would have made a great contribution. Although it was not the cellar he discovered, he also played a role in its discovery. No matter how you look at it, it is a credit. If he accumulates more pieces, he will be the captain of the team in no time.
He had heard before that Director Chen and his team were going to Beijing for a meeting, and would be transferred to the provincial government after returning. Director Yang would replace him, and it was very likely that Officer Liu would take Director Yang's place.
In this way, the position of captain will be vacant.
Although Cheng Jiawen was the one who made the main contribution this time, he had just arrived at the police station, so it was impossible for him to be promoted so quickly. Therefore, he was competing with Xiao Chen for the position of team leader. Now that he had made a contribution, his chances of promotion were even greater.
When Cheng Jiawen heard Xiaofan say this, he slowly came to his senses, picked up the wire in his hand and started working immediately. He opened the locks of the boxes one by one and found that they were all full of explosives.
He looked at Jiang Ziwen and Xiaofan seriously, "We have to send one person back to the bureau to report this matter, and the other two will stay here to guard it."
"Okay, then I'll go back to the police station to report it, and you guys stay here." After Cheng Jiawen finished speaking, Xiao Fan couldn't wait to say that he would go back and report the matter.
Cheng Jiawen nodded, "Okay, then go quickly and come back soon."
Watching Xiao Fan leave, Jiang Ziwen rolled his eyes at his back and said with a bit of disdain, "Tsk, seeing how anxious he is, does he think we will snatch it from him? It's just a captain position, who cares about it?"
Although Jiang Ziwen usually appears careless, he is not really stupid. After all, he is a kid from a compound. He could see through all these thoughts at a glance, but he just didn't bother to compete with him.
As for Cheng Jiawen, he had even less idea. He had just arrived at the police station and had just established himself. Promotion had nothing to do with him, so he was too lazy to argue with him.
