"Forget it," Li Chu shook his head, dismissing the thought from his mind.
The earliest it can be done is October, so don't even think about it now.
"Dong dong dong"
"Please come in."
"Brother Chu, why didn't you go to the clinic today?"
Zhao Zhijun pushed open the office door, glanced inside first, and seeing that Li Chu wasn't on the phone, then opened the door completely.
Xu Damao couldn't wait to say it.
"I came here just now for something. What's up? Sit down and tell me."
"You know what happened to the Fu family, right?"
"I know!"
“My father-in-law contacted Lao Nie, who had moved to Shanghai, yesterday, only to find out that he had passed away just after the New Year. It was said to be an accident.”
Li Chu blinked, somewhat bewildered: "Who is Lao Nie?"
"Oh dear, I was with my father-in-law back then."
Which bed sheet factory are you referring to?
"Yes, that's him."
Li Chu's expression immediately changed.
Could it be that Uncle Wang was right about this?
"Da Mao, you just said he passed away unexpectedly right after the New Year?"
Xu Damao nodded. "He called this morning when I wasn't home. Xiao'e told me. Because of what happened with Lao Fu the night before last, my father-in-law came over yesterday at noon and said he felt something was strange, and then he started contacting that group of people."
"Why does Uncle Lou think there's something strange about Old Fu's situation?"
"Because nobody knows how much money Old Fu actually has, and he hasn't been doing business since, so outsiders have no way of knowing. Aside from that small courtyard, he's usually extremely frugal."
"What about acquaintances?"
"Let me put it this way, Brother Chu, even his son probably doesn't know whether his family is rich or not."
“What you said is incorrect,” Li Chu shook his head.
"At least his youngest son knows that at least tens of thousands of yuan, as well as gold and silver jewelry, were stolen from the house."
How did you know?
"Because I reported the case, and now Jia Dong is in charge of it."
"You reported the case?" Xu Damao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What's going on, Brother Chu? How come it was you who reported the case?"
Li Chu could only repeat the same thing helplessly, and after he finished, he quickly changed the subject.
"Here's what we'll do, Da Mao. When you go back, tell Uncle Lou not to overthink things. It would be best if the two of them moved in with you for a while, so they can look after each other. In any case, this matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated. As for Old Nie in Shanghai, I will also send someone to investigate him."
"I understand, Brother Chu. Do you think this might be..."
"Don't worry, Uncle Lou and the others have done a good job. No matter what, we will give them an explanation."
Li Chu waved his hand, interrupting Xu Damao.
"I estimate that the most likely scenario is that Lao Fu has revealed his wealth, because based on the scene, the perpetrator should be an acquaintance."
Regardless of the truth of the matter, we must first calm people down, and eventually the truth will be revealed.
Actually, after Xu Damao told Li Chu about the matter, he was basically relieved.
His interactions with Li Chu over the years have instilled in him great confidence in Li Chu.
He didn't dwell on the specific reasons for the matter and instead started talking about other things.
"Let's not talk about the case, Brother Chu. Now that you understand, I'm relieved. I'll explain everything to my father-in-law when I get back."
"By the way, what are you planning to do with that courtyard in Shichahai?"
"Set up a teahouse, so what? You wouldn't be thinking of taking over my courtyard, would you?"
“No, no.” Xu Damao shook his head.
"Just a few days ago, someone came to me wanting to buy or rent it from you."
"Let's go back. This courtyard is neither for sale nor for rent. I'm keeping it for my own enjoyment."
What a joke! This courtyard is where he's going to retire.
"Okay, I knew it, I replied right away. But don't you even want to hear the price?"
"Why would I listen to that stuff? Even if he offered me a million, I wouldn't sell it."
He even asked the eldest son of the wealthy family to find a storyteller, and was just waiting for the house to be dried.
If it weren't for the fact that the chubby little guy from Jinshi hadn't yet matured, he would have even considered bringing out that crosstalk duo ahead of time.
But this was bound to happen sooner or later.
He had long wanted to experience what it would be like to sit in his own home and listen to a live crosstalk performance.
Xu Damao shook his head with a wry smile. Only this guy could treat money like it wasn't worth it and do whatever he wanted.
"Whatever makes you happy." What else could he say?
"Alright, Brother Chu, now that we've finished talking about business, I'll head over. I'll go back to my father-in-law's place first and bring them to stay with me."
"Yes, explain it to Uncle Lou, and tell him that the higher-ups have already taken notice of this matter."
"I understand, you go ahead with your work."
After Xu Damao left, Li Chuyou continued to sit in his office. He greeted Zhao Zhijun and then drove out of the hospital alone.
He didn't go in at the headquarters entrance, but instead asked the gatekeeper to call Wang Jiadong out for him.
"Uncle, what's wrong?"
After Wang Jiadong came out, he saw the car and immediately opened the door and got in.
"Has the guy we caught yesterday confessed yet?"
"Don't even mention it, he didn't even open his mouth, he was like a mute. But the more he did that, the more it proved that we didn't arrest the wrong person."
"I see, Jiadong. When you're handling this case, keep an eye out for them and see if they have any other motives..."
Wang Jiadong looked extremely shocked after hearing his uncle's words.
He was too young to be involved in adult matters back then, so he didn't understand this incident. Only now does he realize that there was this connection involved.
Against the Gods
"I understand, Uncle. I'll be careful."
"Well, just be careful in private, don't make it public knowledge."
"clear"
Looking at his nephew, who already had dark circles under his eyes, Li Chu sighed and said, "Take care of your health. Don't think that just because you're young, you can fix any kind of health problem. If you really damage your health, I'm helpless, just like Yueyue's mother."
“I understand. You know I had no choice.”
Yes, when police officers encounter such a major case, they have to work themselves to the bone.
Just like a surgeon facing a major operation, he has no choice but to follow his duty.
Thinking of this, Li Chu raised his hand and patted his nephew on the shoulder: "Alright, go in, be sure to take some time to rest."
"Okay, Uncle, I'll go in first. I'll let you know if I make any new discoveries."
After Wang Jiadong went inside, Li Chu did not rush to leave, but sat in the car deep in thought.
If things were really as Uncle Wang thought, he really couldn't understand what benefit those people would gain from doing so.
Sigh, he's really not cut out for this line of work.
