Chapter 327 Ledger
But I think this way is unnecessary, because when I use my brain, Hualang has already jumped into the wall with a flash.
At this point, I had to cover him in the alley. But at this time, the policeman who was blocking the scene saw me standing here without moving, and he was dizzy and wanted to come over.
"Teacher Yan, are you okay?" he shouted from afar.
I waved my hand hard at him, indicating that everything was fine and he didn't need to care about it.
But his head was a little stunned, or the police were all suspicious. Maybe he was nervous when he saw me, so he actually came over.
I was afraid that he would discover the secret inside the wall, so I hurriedly pretended to find something and squatted down and looked at the ground carefully.
Sure enough, he was also led to bend down and carefully examined the ground and wall.
We were like primary school students observing ants moving, squatting and bowing, and looked around there for a long time.
"Is there any clue?" He looked at it for a long time but couldn't see the trick. Finally, he asked in surprise.
Of course, I couldn't see the trick myself, so I had to say "Oh".
He finally realized that the abnormality was that "Chen Yu" was not here. He frowned and asked, "Hey, where did Teacher Shen go? Why did he disappear in a while?"
When I heard this, I was so anxious that I burst into a cold sweat.
"Where is this!" A crisp female voice came, and I looked up in surprise. I saw Hua Yan quietly climbing over the wall and standing behind the policeman. There was also a square black briefcase in her hand.
"Teacher Shen, why are you..." the policeman scratched his head.
"Is it a ghost?" I was trembling with fear, sweating like a slurry, but Hua Ling was proud - she was also surprised that in this stuffy weather, she didn't even sweat.
"No," the policeman shook his head, "Your briefcase is a little inconsistent."
The policeman's eyes were really vicious. He must have paid attention to the empty things in her hands before. Besides, she was wearing a lively long skirt and short sleeves, and holding such a serious bag was indeed inconsistent.
"Incongruent? That's right!" Unexpectedly, Hua Yan raised his hand and threw the bag at me.
"This is Yan Zhuang's bag. I helped him pick it up from the car. Is there any problem?"
"No." The police laughed, "Then you two are busy, I'm going to work."
I watched him walk away, and pulled Hua Yan over and reminded him: "Don't take such a risk in the future!"
"Oh, I'm fast, and they won't blink. I can disappear into the crowd in the blink of an eye, haha." Hua Yan giggled, then pointed to the briefcase and said, "There must be something important here."
Hua Yan was right. Gao Dongning should have understood when he ran away that he was almost dead. He could escape Lin Ying and could not escape the pursuit of the whole city. Because of this, he was afraid of being caught by the police, so he threw the bag behind the wall on the way to escape.
"What kind of yard is that? What's the thing inside?" I asked Hua Yan.
"Empty, no one lives in it, it's a bit old house, old trees, old gardens, etc., it's boring anyway."
——It’s another old yard. Recently, when I heard about the old yard, I felt heartbroken. I used to say that I would leave no land in real estate and demolish all the old places in the city. Now, after seeing this, there are still many that have not been demolished.
Many old houses are considered haunted houses, the most famous one is No. 81, Chaoyangmen Nei Street, Beijing. This school was originally a language school built by Americans and provides Chinese language training for foreigners coming to China. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was classified as owned by the Catholic Patriotic Association. Due to various reasons, it was idle.
After 2003, especially around 2005, an activity called "City Expedition" emerged. Urban adventure enthusiasts often convened gatherings in communities such as Tianya, Maopu, and Pupu Hall to visit some abandoned houses in the city on weekends.
No. 81 Chaonei Street is located on the Second Ring Road, with convenient transportation, large area and long idleness, so the elderly who are guarding the door are old and don’t care too much, so it’s very easy to sneak in.
After a while, these city explorers came up with all kinds of legends that were missing, so two small foreign buildings became the "No. 1 haunted house in the capital". Later, some people regarded this haunted house as an IP and even made a movie. Later, the movie actually made a sequel.
As for whether it was a haunted house, Yan Zhuo went there around 2005. When I asked him how he felt, he shook his head and said, "There is nothing, but there is No. 130 Chaonei Street on the street opposite. The two small stone lions at the door are a bit strange."
"Why is it strange?"
"I can't explain it clearly, I'll know when you have time to go and take a look." He said at the time, but stopped.
It's too far. In short, I'm too sensitive to the three words "Old House".
I found a remote place, opened the black briefcase and saw that in addition to a few stacks of banknotes, there was also an account book with the edges rolled up. Then I touched it and reached a U disk.
It seems that this is an important evidence, and there is likely to be evidence of directly convicting Gao Dongning. We cannot keep such things privately.
Seeing that I had no device at hand, I turned on the U disk, so I took out the account book and flipped it hard.
It is said that it is an account book, but the way of accounting is really not satisfactory. The person above just casually remembers which year, month and day, who borrowed how much money, when should he pay it back, how much should he pay it back, how much difference should he pay it back, how much profit is not paid back, and how much content is left. There are traces of bookkeepers scribbling on the edges and corners of the paper, where there are cats and dogs painted, and where there are dirty words written.
If you look closely, this book is more like someone’s account.
I kept flipping through the notebook, trying to "shot" everything into my mind. But as I flipping through, I turned to a page of paper. This page was very conspicuous because there were a string of big question marks written on it.
There are two lines of words before the question mark.
"On a certain day of a certain month, Gu asked someone to clear the accounts and paid 108,000 yuan. Where did he get so much money?????"
I couldn't help but be shocked - Gu asked someone to clear the accounts, was it Gu Zhong? Who was entrusted by him to come to find usury to clear the accounts? Is it Qujiang? But why did they suddenly have such a large amount of money?
Because according to Gu Zhong, he and Qujiang have been living hard, not to mention 100,000, not even 10,000.
How did this money come about?
I was wondering, but Hua Yan slapped her thigh and said, "On a certain month and a certain day, the medicine bottle you found was missing. Isn't it the same thing that happened a few days ago?"
I was stunned. This moment was not a vain, but finally figured it out!
Qu Jiang and the whalehead stork killed the medicine bottle, for nothing else, for the "rent" he collected! The medicine bottle had just died, and they didn't dare to show up, but considering that the usury was adding new interest every day, Gu Zhong asked someone to come to pay off the debt.
But the question is, how could this account be recorded on Gu Zhong alone?
