Chapter 157 The Buried Box



Although the surface of this spot is covered with many fallen leaves, it is obvious that the leaves were just placed there and have been turned over.

Without hesitation, Su He immediately lifted the fallen leaves and saw that the soil underneath was also freshly turned.

After looking around, he found a hoe hidden among a pile of dilapidated roof beams, so he took it out and started digging.

They quickly dug up a large box.

The material of the box looks good; although it's not rosewood, it appears to be rot-resistant.

Su He didn't take the box out because she saw that it was locked and couldn't be opened even if she took it out, so she had to give up for now.

Fearing she might alert the enemy, she didn't intend to forcefully pry it open. Instead, she buried the box again, covered it with fallen leaves, and hid the hoe in the same spot. Once she felt it was almost done, she left with Big Black.

On the way back, Dahei was still very disappointed.

Su He didn't touch the little yellow fish on the wall because she didn't know if Feng Jianguo had put it there.

Seeing the big black dog walking ahead sullenly, she had no choice but to explain to it again before she finally managed to coax it into calming down.

What a little devil!

Because they came by bus, it didn't take too long, so it wasn't dark when they came down the mountain. Su He looked around carefully but didn't see Feng Jianguo. She guessed he had already left, so she took Dahei and went back by bus.

When she got back, it was already quite late, and her colleagues had long since gone home, so she didn't rush to tell them. Instead, she waited until the next day at work to tell Captain Yu and the others about it.

Everyone was quite surprised after hearing that.

Team Leader Yu was even more surprised and said, "Xiao Su, you went to follow Feng Jianguo alone after get off work yesterday? Why didn't you tell us beforehand? Do you know how dangerous that is?"

Su He nodded shyly. She couldn't mention Da Hei, so she could only make up an excuse.

"I didn't follow him on purpose. I just happened to see him acting suspiciously when I was taking a walk with Dahei yesterday. He was also going in the wrong direction, heading out of Beijing. So I followed him out of curiosity."

I never imagined he would go to the mountains in the suburbs and hide a box there, but I can't open it and I don't know what's inside.

Captain Yu frowned upon hearing this and looked at her, saying, "This is a one-time exception! Don't act alone in the future. Although you are strong, you are still a woman and you are easily taken advantage of."

Su He knew he was doing it for her own good, so she quickly nodded and said, "I understand, Captain Yu. It won't happen again. But isn't Feng Jianguo's behavior suspicious? Shouldn't we investigate him?"

I saw it yesterday; the material of that wooden box is quite sophisticated. He definitely couldn't have taken it himself. I didn't see what was inside, but I imagine it must be quite valuable.

Yu Wan frowned upon hearing this. "You're right, he is indeed somewhat suspicious, but that alone cannot confirm his connection to the case. Even though we are the police, we cannot inspect other people's belongings without permission. What if he's just hiding some ordinary things?"

At this moment, Captain Sun suddenly spoke up: "I remember Feng Jianguo used to be a long-term worker for a wealthy family, right? Could it be that family's property? After all, after listening to what Officer Su said, those things really don't seem like something he could have. Hiding these things is also illegal. Even if we check, it won't be a big deal."

Captain Yu hesitated for a moment, "But shouldn't these things be the responsibility of the Revolutionary Committee?"
