Chapter 022: Ancestral Strange Skills
"ah???"
Zhao Hui opened his mouth and stared, and asked in a daze: "You hid the parts, hid them...hide them where?" He was so shocked that he couldn't speak clearly.
Hou San: “Yeah.”
Zhao Hui was in a daze for a long while before finally calming down. He slammed the table again and said, "Hou San, tell me the truth. Don't try to play tricks on me!"
He suspected that Hou San was lying.
Hou San's face flushed red as he said aggrievedly, "I didn't lie. I just hid the thing in the valley. If you don't believe me, you can take me to the toilet to see. I'm still hiding it."
It's still hidden now...
These words struck the hearts of everyone present like a bolt of lightning, and Zhao Hui subconsciously leaned back.
He doesn't want to see it!
I really don’t want to watch it!
However, if what Hou San said was true, the parts he had hidden there were also stolen goods, and they had to take them out.
Zhao Hui twisted his features in disgust, but he had to. He gathered his strength and prepared himself mentally before speaking: "You, you come with me to the bathroom now and take out all the parts!"
Adhering to the idea that he couldn't suffer alone, Zhao Hui unsympathetically called Shi Yue and Sun Guodong as well, and the three of them took Hou San into the toilet together.
Everyone was quite interested. When they first heard Hou San say that he hid the parts in that place, they were very disgusted. But when they heard Zhao Hui say that he wanted Hou San to take the parts out, everyone's curiosity came up again.
Could parts really be hidden there? How many parts could be hidden there? Why did they feel they couldn't do it? Could it be that Hou San's place was special?
Disgusted and curious!
Everyone watched Hou San and his group enter the toilet. They wanted to peek inside, but were afraid of being disgusted. Yao Dazui, who was the most curious, pouted and peeked inside.
Such a strange thing, she really wanted to go in and take a look, so that when she went out to chat later, she would have something to talk about!
However, Zhao Hui and the others would definitely not agree to let Yao Dazui in. Not to mention the fact that she is a woman, she is not from the security department, so she should not be involved in so many things.
If it weren't for the clues she provided about the thief, they would have kicked her out long ago.
After a while, the few people who had entered the men's restroom finally came out as everyone expected. At that time, Yue Sun Guodong and Zhao Hui had the same vicissitudes of life on their faces.
Shi Yue, who walked out first, rubbed his eyes as he walked.
No kidding, he really thinks his eyes are dirty!
Oh my god, who would have thought that I would have to endure so much just to go to work!
He felt that the meager salary the factory paid him could not erase the emotional hurt he had suffered!
Those who hadn't gone in couldn't understand Shi Yue's feelings. They were curious and asked, "Hey, Brother Shi, did he really hide the things there?"
Shi Yuesheng nodded helplessly: "Yes, it really is hidden there. We watched him take it out."
“Eh—”
Everyone was disgusted, but still curious.
"Brother Shi, how many did he hide in there?"
"Brother Shi, is there anything different between his place and ours?"
"Brother Shi, where are the parts he took out?"
"Brother Shi..."
Shi Yue frowned and said nothing.
Can he say that he couldn't bear to watch when Hou San took it out?
Seeing that they couldn't get anything out of Shi Yue, everyone turned around and asked the three people behind him. Well, everyone became curious and ignored everything else and went straight to Hou San to ask.
Hou San blushed: "I, I usually can't hide many, that is..."
Shi Yue:......
No, buddy, why are you blushing?
Although I really dislike it, I still need to ask some questions clearly, such as how Hou San came up with this idea of hiding things.
Back in the office, Zhao Hui asked Hou San to put the parts he had just taken out aside. Well, yes, because Zhao Hui, Shi Yue and Sun Guodong were all rather disgusted with them, Hou San took the escaped parts himself.
After the parts were put away, the interrogation continued. Hou San confessed frankly that the inspiration for his Gu Daozang parts came from his grandfather.
Grandfather Hou San's ancestors were soldiers in charge of guarding the silver vault during the Qing Dynasty. To prevent soldiers from smuggling silver out of the vault, they were stripped and inspected upon entering and leaving. However, every policy had its own countermeasures, which led to the soldiers developing a unique skill: hiding silver in the valley. Because the profession was passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson, soldiers and their descendants would practice this skill from a young age.
Of course, after the Qing Dynasty ended, Hou San's grandfather did not let Hou San's father learn this skill, let alone Hou San. It was just that Hou San's grandfather had told Hou San about this incident before. Who would have thought that Hou San, this useless boy, would remember it and put it into use.
After listening to Hou San's story, Shi Yue: ...
Is this a family business?
He really opened his eyes...
Although everyone thought Hou San was too weird and outrageous, it had to be said that everyone felt relieved after Hou San was caught. Now that the thief was caught, at least everyone didn't have to worry about being criticized by their superiors, nor did they have to work overtime on patrol!
Shi Yue stretched. He finally didn’t have to work the night shift anymore!
Although there wasn't much work to do during his night shift, it was still uncomfortable to stay up all night long!
Zhao Hui noticed the obvious fatigue on Shi Yue's face, and remembered that Shi Yue had worked the night shift last night and had not gone to bed yet, so he brought Yao Dazui here and worked with the security department for the whole morning.
He patted Shi Yue's shoulder guiltily and said, "Shi Yue, if you are tired, go back and rest. You don't need to come here tonight. Go home and have a good sleep. Come to work as usual tomorrow morning."
"Okay, then I'll go first." Shi Yue nodded and walked out.
Seeing this, Yao Dazui quickly said, "Well, Huizi, if everything is ok, can I go back first too?"
Zhao Hui: "Okay, Aunt Yao, you can go back now."
The auto parts store owner's eyes lit up and he raised his hand as well: "What about me?"
Zhao Hui: "You can't! As the owner of an auto parts store, you knew that Hou San had faulty parts, yet you still helped him sell them. That's wrong!"
Shop owner: “Ah, I…”
The owner of the auto parts store was still making excuses in a panic, but Shi Yue, who had already walked out the door, could no longer hear what he was saying.
Shi Yue and Yao Dazui were walking in a hurry towards the slum, one in front and one behind. Shi Yue was anxious to go home to sleep, while Yao Dazui was anxious to go back and share gossip.
Hou San secretly hid spare parts in his buttocks and sold them. This was such a strange thing that she had to tell the old sisters in the compound about it.
She was so anxious that she couldn't even wait to walk into the compound. As soon as she turned into the alley, she started yelling in a loud voice: "Hey, old sisters, you don't know what happened in the machinery factory! I'm telling you..."
Yao Dabao started talking, starting with how she was kind-hearted and decided to help Shi Yue catch the thief, and how she investigated each auto parts store and identified the thief as Hou San. Then she followed Shi Yue to the factory to arrest him, and continued talking until she interrogated Hou San and found out that he had hidden the parts in his butt to transport them out of the factory.
Of course, Yao Dazui didn't tell the truth about everything. For example, there were two misunderstandings at the beginning of the investigation, which she artistically processed.
She just said that she fully utilized her intelligence from the beginning and realized that the thief would go to the auto parts store to sell the stolen goods.
Shi Yue raised his eyebrows, but did not expose Yao Dazui.
With Yao Dazui as the spokesperson, he didn't get involved. It just so happened that all the aunties and ladies' attention was on Yao Dazui, and no one cared about him, so he was able to slip back home smoothly.
It was noon and the sun was high in the sky. The sunlight shone through the glass windows, dazzling.
When Shi Yue entered the house, the first thing he did was to draw the curtains, then he put on his slippers and got into bed, covered himself with the quilt, and fell into a deep sleep.
Perhaps he was really tired, he slept very soundly. When he woke up again, it was already past five-thirty in the afternoon. He opened his eyes and saw the clock hanging on the wall, and quickly got up.
At this point, Xiaoqiu has been out of school for half an hour!
He hurriedly put on his shoes, opened the door and walked out. As soon as he reached the yard, he saw Shi Qiu Shui cracking melon seeds with Yao Dazui in the middle of the yard.
Huh? Sitting with Yao Dazui?
Shi Yue rubbed his eyes. Oh my god, could it be that his eyes are damaged because the things he saw this morning were too polluting to his eyes?
Otherwise, how could he see his cute daughter eating melon seeds and gossiping with Yao Dazui?
While Shi Yue was still doubting his life, Shi Qiushui had already noticed Shi Yue. She waved and shouted, "Dad!"
Shi Yue: Okay, it’s not that his eyes are faulty, it’s indeed his daughter, and his daughter was indeed gossiping with Yao Dazui.
He walked forward with a complicated expression and asked, "Xiao Qiu, did you come back from kindergarten by yourself?"
Shi Qiushui shook his head: "No, it was Uncle Zhao who brought me back. Seeing that no one was picking me up, he said that Dad hadn't had time to rest this morning and might have fallen asleep and forgotten to pick me up, so he picked me up on the way."
Shi Yue rubbed his nose: "Ah, I did fall asleep and forgot to pick you up."
He apologized sincerely: "I'm sorry, Xiaoqiu."
Shi Qiushui waved his hand generously: "It's okay, Dad, I forgive you."
Shi Yue took Shi Qiushui's hand and was about to stand up: "Okay, let's go home."
"No." Shi Qiushui shook his head and let go of Shi Yue's hand: "Dad, I don't want to go home now. I still want to talk to Grandma Yao for a while. If you want to go home, go back first."
Shi Yue: ??? Hmm?
When did his daughter become so familiar with Yao Dazui?
