Chapter 371 Buying a Ship in Distress 4
The two came to the back of the house. There were also people guarding there, but not as many as in the front, probably because there was only a small window at the back.
"Go out from the southeast corner. There is no one there and no torches for lighting." After saying that, Ziyi was the first to go up to the roof. The people guarding outside never dreamed that they would go out from the roof.
After Ziyi and Ma Youcai went down from the southeast corner, they ran quickly towards the secretary's house.
Ma Youcai sprinkled some sleeping pills in every room where someone was. After about the same time, the two of them entered the secretary's room and searched.
They searched every cabinet and every corner, but couldn't find the money.
Ziyi simply threw the secretary off the bed, lifted his wife down as well, lifted up the bed board to check, and finally found a moving brick on the wall behind the bed.
After the bricks were removed, an iron box was seen. He opened the iron box and found the money inside. There was not only the money Ziyi gave him today, but also more money. In addition to the money, there was also an account book and a code book similar to that used by spies.
Ziyi took all the other money and only left money for buying the boat. He also took an account book and put it on himself, then covered the iron box, put the iron box into the hole in the wall, and put the bricks back in place.
The two men threw the secretary onto the bed, carried his wife onto the bed as well, stuffed the code book into the pocket of the secretary's shirt that he wore on hot days, folded the shirt and put it back into the closet, and then the two men immediately retreated.
After leaving the secretary's house, Ma Youcai whispered, "Brother, why don't you hide the iron box in his woodshed? If you put it back the way it is, what if he moves to a different place?"
"No need to hide it. He kept all the money he robbed there before, which means he is very confident about the place where he hid the money."
"Is that book really a code book used by spies?"
"Yes, I have seen it before. Let's go directly to the police station to report the case. This time, I will make him pay for it." Ziyi said dimly.
"What evidence have you found against him?"
"Evidence of murder."
Ma Youcai staggered in fear, "Kill, kill." Ma Youcai asked in surprise, "Did the accountant really get killed? Didn't they team up to cheat us?"
"No, the accountant must have been silenced. He must have had some conflict with the secretary, right? Or was there an unequal distribution of the spoils? Or did he discover the secretary's secret? In short, the accountant was killed by the secretary."
"Brother, are we going to call the police on foot like this? I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the county town before dawn. How about we push the car outside the village and drive away?" Ziyi looked around the village. Except for the bright area around the landlord's house at the other end of the village, everywhere else was pitch black.
Their car was parked at the entrance of the village and did not drive in, and was not pushed to the bank of a river by the secretary's men. It seemed that God was helping them.
The two of them put in all their efforts and finally pushed the jeep far away from the village.
Ziyi started the car, but did not dare to turn on the headlights. He drove to the bend in the mountain road relying on the faint light of the flashlight. Only then did he dare to turn on the headlights, turned the corner, and quickly drove towards Yuan County.
Yuefeng Village is under the jurisdiction of Xi County. The county seat where Ziyi and Yike's courtyard is located is Nan County, which, together with Xi County, is under the jurisdiction of Nanshi. When Ziyi arrived at the county seat of Xi County, it was already dawn.
"Brother, do you think there is anyone here who could be their accomplice?" Ma Youcai asked.
"It's possible. We should not call the police here. Call Chen Jiangong. No, call Wu Anquan." Ziyi said after thinking for a while.
Without even bothering to eat, the two men went to the post office immediately and called Wu Anquan of the Provincial Public Security Bureau. They told him about the Yuefeng Village incident and told him that from the account books found in the secretary's home, it could be seen that he was involved in no less than five murders, and there was also a code book that looked very much like the ones used by spies to send messages.
Wu Anquan said that he would lead the team there immediately. For safety reasons, he gave Ziyi the address of his comrade-in-arms and asked them to go there to rest. They should find a place to park the car and never drive past their comrade-in-arms' home, as he was afraid that someone would check the car and find them.
Ziyi parked the car near the guesthouse, and the two got out. They walked a long way before asking for the address and directions of comrade Wu Anquan. When they arrived at the place, they found that the door was locked, so they had to wait in front of the door.
The two didn't have to wait long before a man in public security uniform came back on a bicycle.
He parked his bicycle at the door and said to Ziyi and the other man, "Are you safe friends?"
Ziyi nodded and said, "Hello! Comrade, my name is Ziyi, safe friend, are you his comrade-in-arms?"
"Yes, my name is Li Qin. Comrade Ziyi, welcome." Li Qin shook hands with Ziyi enthusiastically, and then extended his hand to Ma Youcai to shake hands and say hello.
Ma Youcai also introduced his name. Li Qin opened the lock and led the three of them into the house.
"Please sit wherever you like. This is a simple room. What would you like to drink? Boiled water or tea?"
"Ice boiled water"
Ziyi looked around the room. It was indeed not very spacious. There was a square table against the wall and stools were placed against the wall. On the table there was a thermos, a few small teacups and a porcelain teapot. Ziyi picked up the teapot and looked at it.
"This was picked up by the kid's mom at a scrapyard. The pattern was pretty, so she picked it up."
"What a nice teapot! This should be a teapot from the Qianlong period. If you keep it well, it will definitely be very valuable in the future." Ziyi said seriously.
"Really? Then I'll ask my wife to put it away and not leave it outside to get broken. Comrade, you know this. If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known it." Li Qin quickly carried the porcelain teapot into his bedroom.
After coming out, he poured boiled water for the two of them without asking if they wanted tea. Hey, the teapot has been put away, so what are you going to use to make tea?
Ziye and Ma Youcai did not sleep last night, so after they drank some boiled water, Li Qin arranged for them to sleep in his son's room.
The Public Security Bureau in the provincial capital was thrown into chaos again because of Ziyi's phone call.
After Wu Anquan received Ziyi's call, he hung up the phone and went straight to his boss Chen Jiangong.
He rushed into Chen Jiangong's office and ran to Chen Jiangong's desk in a hurry.
"Boss, it's a big case. There's another big case."
"What the hell are you yelling about? Why don't you change your impatient temper? Tell me, what's the big case? How come I don't know about it?"
Wu Anquan told Chen Jiangong about Ziyi's story, and he laughed out loud, "Ziyi and his wife are the nemesis of spies. Once a spy meets them, bad luck will come to them. Ziyi said he has the code book, so the spy can't escape. Quick, gather the people and arrest them. This time I'll let you command. Complete the mission and I'll give you a great credit."
"Thank you, boss!" Wu Anquan saluted, turned around to organize people, and drove the police car towards Xi County.
Yi Ke suddenly had heart palpitations in the middle of the night last night. She then stayed in bed, waking up and sleeping until dawn. As soon as it was dawn, she rode her Phoenix bike to look for Tang Jianguo.
Tang Jianguo received the boat last night and went to the dock early this morning to find the boat master to teach him, so he went there but found nothing.
