Suihe squatted down, pretending to pick up his shoes. He looked in the direction of the alley surveillance and saw a woman, probably in her fifties, wearing very ragged clothes. When she saw Suihe, she immediately lowered her head and hurried back into the house. Professor Dong also saw it. She figured that the doorman was selling these things, and the neighbors knew about it, otherwise he wouldn't have piled them all over the yard. The woman was just checking it out, so there shouldn't be any other problems.
The two of them pushed the cart home, looked around cautiously again, and after making sure that no one was following them, they didn't enter the house, locked the door, and went straight to the police station.
Lao Cui and the others were still waiting in the office. Sui He reported what he had observed in the briefest terms. Confirming that there was definitely something wrong with the young man, Lao Cui asked him to continue hiding and monitoring with the other two.
After sending the easygoing Lao Cui away, he chatted with Professor Dong for a while. Professor Dong had fully prepared for the interrogation, and his answers to Lao Cui's questions were flawless. No matter how much the Public Security Bureau investigated Dong Xiaomai, it wouldn't be a problem. She had been picked up by Guan Laoer since she was a child and had lived in Guanjia Village ever since. She wasn't afraid of the investigation. Some people are just born with the ability to investigate and solve crimes. Even if you, Lao Cui, were jealous to death, there was nothing you could do.
After questioning Professor Dong, she returned home. She locked the courtyard door from the inside, then locked the doors to the western-style building. She went up to the second-floor master bedroom, locked the door, and slipped into the space. Unexpectedly, Guan Huashu and Shui Shui were also in the space. Shui Shui was delighted to see her mother. Professor Dong quickly told her about the recent purchase of a house, the things he had bought, and the problems he had discovered at the scrap collection station. Finally, he talked about buying junk furniture. Guan Huashu said that he had just seen two cabinets and a pile of bed frames in the living room and thought she must have salvaged them. He hadn't expected Professor Dong to be able to communicate with furniture.
Having said that, Professor Dong got up from the sofa and walked to the two wardrobes. He put his hands on the cabinet doors, closed his eyes, and had that feeling again!
Professor Dong was now certain that something was inside the cabinet, so the trio opened it and began searching inch by inch. Guan Huashu tipped the cabinet over, even searching the top, and surprisingly, he actually found something.
This cabinet is about 2 meters tall, and the top is particularly thick. If you don't look closely, you would think it's just like this. Guan Huashu knocked on the top of the cabinet with his hand. The sound echoed, indicating that the top of the cabinet is empty. Shuishui went to the large storage room and found a tool kit. Guan Huashu pried it from the side seam of the cabinet top and soon pried up a large piece of the sealing layer. Inside was two layers of small gold bars neatly laid out. They gleamed in the light of the living room. There were no markings on the gold bars. Shuishui counted them and found a total of 12.
Guan Huashu followed the same method and pried open another cabinet, finding two layers full of 12 small gold bars.
Shui Shui kept muttering excitedly that she had made a fortune, and Professor Dong laughed and scolded her, calling her a little money-grubber.
The bed frame was also dismantled by Guan Huashu. The wooden strips were filled with gold bars, a total of 10 bars. Otherwise, it would have been so difficult for her and the old gatekeeper to carry them out!
Professor Dong was quite pleased with his new treasure-hunting ability and asked Guan Huashu if he felt anything. Guan Huashu said he didn't feel anything and wasn't disappointed about not having the ability. Well, maybe the reward for catching the bad guys this time was simply giving Professor Dong the treasure-hunting ability.
Professor Dong is a historian and has some knowledge of the origins of antiques and cultural relics. With his treasure-hunting abilities, he's a walking treasure hunter! Well, in the coming years, the task of recovering our nation's cultural relics and protecting them from damage will be handed over to Professor Dong.
