Chapter 199 Breaking the Metal Box
"If that grandmother of the Bai family knew you'd let her granddaughter down, she'd probably get up from her coffin and beat you to death. You blind bastard! She had high hopes for you before marrying her granddaughter to you.
But you, on the other hand, still dare to be so arrogant. Now you know how powerful you are, don’t you? As the old saying goes, comparing people will make you angry, and comparing goods will make you throw them away. If I had met my granddaughter earlier, I would have thrown you away long ago.
Although the old man's words were harsh, Lu Jingheng knew that he was telling the truth. In some respects, his observation skills were not as good as his wife's.
Ever since she rescued him in Liujia Village, he felt that women were a rare blessing for him. No matter what case he encountered, as long as he was with a woman, he could always find a way to solve it easily.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just take this incident as an example. It was clearly an unsolvable bus case, but somehow it was traced to the reservoir.
What did she rely on at the time? Simply put, it was Bai Yangfan's intuition. She said she would wait at the reservoir, and that wait led to the discovery of that huge fish.
Provided them with a few key words.
Talismans, Taoist priests, sleight of hand, dead people...
Because of these words, they started to investigate and accidentally went to the reservoir, where they met a big fish who said the water was bad.
Sometimes I can't help but think that if Bai Yangfan hadn't gone to the reservoir, the big fish would never have appeared. Many elderly people have said that they lived to their seventies and eighties and still didn't know there were big fish under the reservoir.
If it weren't for the reminder from the big fish, Bai Yangfan would never have thought of testing the water in the reservoir.
If the water had not been tested, no one would have thought that someone was planning to target the reservoir.
These links are linked together, and if any one of them is missing, it will be impossible to uncover the fact that there are explosives under the reservoir.
"Yes, my Yang Fan is really amazing. I admire him very much. I admire him very much." The old man praised his woman, so Lu Jingheng naturally would not refuse, let alone get angry.
That was his woman, he was proud and honored.
Looking at the entire army, how many people have the ability of his woman? In time, his woman's status will probably be higher than his.
But he doesn't care. No matter how high a woman's status is, she is still his woman and can never belong to anyone else.
So he is proud.
"Of course, my granddaughter is no ordinary person. Of course you admire her. If you had her brains, you wouldn't have stayed in Liujia Village for so long." Zhu Houde is very protective now. Whenever he thinks of the injustice Bai Yangfan suffered, he wants to goad Lu Jingheng a few more times. "If my granddaughter hadn't put aside past grudges and helped you, you might still be staying in Liujia Village now?"
"Hehehe!" Lu Jingheng was not at all shocked and laughed happily. "You are right. My Yang Fan is my little lucky star. With her around, no matter what case I encounter, I can easily handle it." Old man! Are you happy? Are you satisfied?
"You're smart." Zhu Houde glared at the playful Lu Jingheng, his eyes falling on the box. "Go quietly and find someone to open it and see what's inside."
Following the old man's gaze, Lu Jingheng also glanced at the box and lowered his voice: "Yang Fan told me to be careful when I break it open, there might be an explosive device inside."
"What?" Zhu Houde was startled, then slowly regained his composure. "Since she said it was that thing, then you should be more careful. I think her guess is nine out of ten correct. Take this box and find a safe place to open it and see."
Standing up, Lu Jingheng found an old military uniform and wrapped the iron box, then left with a sentence: "I'll report to you when I'm done."
Zhu Houde didn't say anything, but waved at Lu Jingheng, signaling him to get to work quickly.
After the people left, he sat alone on the sofa and thought carefully, and went through all the characters in the big and small cases that he had handled in Kyoto over the years.
I just can't figure out who would have the idea of robbing the reservoir. Could it be someone from outside Kyoto, not someone from Kyoto?
Seems unlikely.
How could outsiders have buried the explosives under the reservoir without anyone noticing? Dropping such heavy iron boxes into the reservoir and arranging them one by one was no easy task.
Also, how could there be such a big fish in the reservoir? Why had he never heard of it before? Every time Yang Fan went to the reservoir, the big fish would appear. Could it be that the fish had some connection with her?
That kid Lu Jingheng said she was a lucky star, and it seemed true. Ever since they met, she'd been giving him plenty of surprises. That year's half-ton of gold had the number one leader feeling quite moved for quite a while.
At that time, the country was facing a difficult situation. It is hard to say how much trouble the half ton of gold could solve, but it was still a helping hand. Otherwise, we would not have been able to get through that chaotic year so easily.
Recognizing that child as his granddaughter actually had selfish motives. One was that he didn't want such an outstanding child to be coveted or killed by others, and the other was that he hoped she would be happy.
What a good child! He is not only smart, but also polite to others. He is neither humble nor arrogant in his behavior and is very sensible.
He naturally cherished and protected such a good kid, so as to prevent him from being targeted by those with ulterior motives. Once he became a member of his team, even if someone dared to take action, they would have to think twice.
After waiting for a while, Lu Jingheng brought back the broken metal box.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhu Houde stood up and asked impatiently: "How is it? Did you find anything?"
This time, Lu Jingheng not only closed the door, but also closed all the windows. Seeing how cautious he was, Zhu Houde had a premonition that something was wrong.
He didn't ask any more questions, but signaled Lu Jingheng with his eyes to open the box.
Without any hesitation, Lu Jingheng opened the corner of the box that was pried open by the demolition tools.
When Zhu Houde saw it, he couldn't help but gasp.
"Why are there so many detonators?"
It was no wonder he was so surprised. The detonators in the box were so densely packed that they almost took up the entire inner wall. There were several layers underneath, each one tied with fuse. There must have been at least a thousand of them.
If it encounters a spark, it will definitely explode. Even if it is in water, it can ignite the surrounding explosives.
"Lu Jingheng! Handle this thing carefully and take a good look at where these things came from." Zhu Houde knew very well that this matter had become a big deal.
It's not them who played big, it's those people who played big.
If the real thing is revealed, there will be a trace to follow, no matter how deep they hide it. Detonators are contraband and not easy to obtain. Each detonator has a production batch number on it.
It was marked with the date of production and the batch it belonged to. As long as he continued to investigate based on this, he didn't believe he couldn't catch those people.
