Strange Realm: Old Object Collector

Chapter 163 Returning to the old business, finally getting evidence

Sneaking into the campus, Chen Wang felt that the place seemed very familiar.

This is the original owner's school, and every plant and tree has memories.

Chen Wang looked at the steps, and the scene of students reciting words in the morning came to his mind.

"Not many people can become students of first-tier universities despite working so hard." Chen Wang shook his head and sighed.

He suddenly felt that this kind of life was a bit too hard. No wonder the students here had miserable faces after school.

Immediately, Chen Wang didn't want to think about this. He put on his gloves, walked through the security room, and walked to the door of the principal's room.

The security guard in the security room had already fallen asleep and was afraid he would not wake up until daytime.

Chen Wang looked at the principal's door. The door was locked. The door had one of the most complex mechanical locks on the market today.

I have to say that this principal is very concerned about the safety of his property.

"Could it be that the safe is not in this office?" Chen Wang looked hesitant.

Books about benevolence, justice, propriety, wisdom, trust, morality, etc. are almost full of bookshelves.

Looking at the gap, Chen Wang's brows did not relax, but instead furrowed even tighter.

This gap is extremely small and hidden behind the solid wood bookshelf, so you can't see it clearly unless you look carefully.

Opening the door, Chen Wang saw the layout of the room.

Then, Chen Wang looked carefully in the darkness through the Eye of the Void and found that there was a gap in the wall.

Chen Wang walked to the bookshelf and took a look at the books.

About ten minutes later, Xiao Zhao's voice came from the other side, "Try opening the drawer of his desk. The switch should be inside."

Since there are no safes in other locations, this safe must be on this side of the bookshelf.

The place where the safe is hidden in this room has been found, but how do you find the safe from this place? You can't buckle the wall, right?

The gap is only a little thicker than a hair, and you can't even snap it in with your fingers.

Thinking of this, Chen Wang began to check carefully in the office.

A leather executive chair is currently placed in the desk.

But he just looked around and found no trace of the safe at all.

Behind the desk is a row of bookshelves.

"I have found the location of the safe now, behind the bookshelf. But this thing is inside the wall, and I can't find a way to open it yet. Do you have any useful information over there?" Chen Wang stared at the gap and slowly said.

"Wait a moment." A series of keyboard tapping sounds came from the other side.

Chen Wang took out the tool from the tool box, inserted the tool into the keyhole, and began to fiddle with the keyhole.

When Chen Wang didn't find it, he wasn't anxious and dialed Xiao Zhao's number directly.

Knocking was done on the wall.

"What's wrong? What problem did you encounter?" Xiao Zhao's voice came from the other side of the phone.

It didn't take long for him to realize something was wrong.

Liu Xin's information may not be accurate, but Xiao Zhao's information is definitely no problem.

The door was opened directly.

Chen Wang paused for a moment and couldn't help but look at the wall blocked by the bookshelf.

After taking the photo, he frowned.

The bookshelves are filled with a wide variety of books.

Immediately, Chen Wang used the Eye of the Void to carefully observe the wall behind the bookshelf.

There is a large area in the center of the wall, and the sound of knocking is somewhat dull.

"There should be something like a mechanism." Chen Wang thought to himself and continued to search in the room.

The first thing that catches the eye is a very large solid wood desk. There is a baffle in front of the desk and a gap inside, which can easily hide a person.

I searched around the house again and couldn't find the switch.

The other party said the safe was here, so it must be in here.

Chen Wang had already tried all the locks on the market before, and it was easy to open this kind of lock.

After fiddling with it for a short time, the spring in the keyhole was pressed, and then he gently twisted the keyhole.

These books all look very new. I am afraid they have not been taken down or read since they were put up.

But unfortunately, there was no hollow sound on the wall.

Chen Wang picked up his cell phone and took a few photos of the principal's room.

Liu Xin and Xiao Zhao had very little information about the safe. They just confirmed that there was a safe in the office.

But then, he shook his head.

When Chen Wang heard this, he paused.

After searching patiently, Chen Wang did not find the switch on the bookshelf.

He also pried open the desk.

It was full of documents and some personal belongings, but the switch was not found.

Chen Wang pondered for a moment, then pulled out the drawer again and rummaged around.

However, no switch was found in it.

Chen Wang thought for a while, then directly inserted the Eye of Void into the drawer and conducted a careful inspection.

Not long after, he discovered something was wrong.

There is a black button above the first drawer in the upper right corner of the work in progress.

This button was made flush with the tabletop and was made very rough. Not only did it not affect the drawer's pull-out, you couldn't even feel the button's existence even if you touched it.

Chen Wang also didn't expect that Zhong Lin would make this button so hidden.

If it weren't for the Eye of the Void, he wouldn't be able to find this button unless he dismantled the table.

Immediately, Chen Wang pressed his finger directly on the button.

"Click..." As he pressed up, the gap in the wall immediately sank, and then sank.

An extremely thick-looking safe appeared in front of him.

This safe is not as tall as Mad Dog's safe, but its width and depth are even worse than Mad Dog's safe.

"What's up? Did you find it?" Xiao Zhao's voice came from the mobile phone.

"Yes, I found it." Chen Wang nodded, and then asked with some confusion, "How do you know this switch is in the drawer?"

"It's quite simple. As long as you build a personality model of Zhong Lin through his past, you can roughly estimate where he would hide things." Xiao Zhao said with some satisfaction.

Chen Wang was speechless.

With the development of science and technology, even what people do can be predicted, which makes him not know what to say.

"By the way, can you predict the password of this safe?" At this time, Chen Wang suddenly thought of something and asked.

"I can deduce it from his past passwords." Xiao Zhao said a little speechlessly: "But are you sure you want to do this? Nowadays, the safe will usually be locked immediately after entering the wrong password three times. The only way is to wait. It takes one day to open it.”

"That's it."

Chen Wang walked to the safe and began to observe the safe carefully.

Then, he checked the lock type.

There is no keyhole on the outside of this safe, and the only thing that can unlock it is the twisted password.

However, this was within his expectation.

If the lockbox was so easy to open, then Zhong Lin wouldn't be able to put the lockbox in the school office with such confidence.

Chen Wang looked at it, then moved the bookshelf away, and then held the bottom of the safe with both hands.

"Yeah!" He grabbed the safe with his fingers, tensed his muscles, and lifted the safe hard.

"Squeak..." The safe rubbed against the ground, making a scraping sound.

Chen Wang pulled it out a little and immediately put the safe down.

"Huh..." He breathed out softly.

This safe is too heavy to carry out.

However, he didn't have this idea.

Chen Wang reached out to touch the safe and began to fiddle with the dial code.

As he fiddled with it, he could clearly see the rotation of the gears in the password box through the Eye of the Void.

When he was dragging the safe, he deliberately placed it on top of the Eye of the Void that he had just inserted.

The Eye of the Void can clearly see inside the safe through the characteristics of its eyes.

This is why Chen Wang dared to steal things alone. No matter how powerful the opponent's lock is, as long as there is a way to open it, he can open it through the Eye of the Void.

After twisting back and forth six times, the safe clicked, and Chen Wang turned the handle, and the safe was opened.

This safe has two levels.

On the upper floor, there are some sundries, including video tapes, files, memory cards and other things.

There is no money on the lower level, just gold bricks stacked on top of each other.

Each gold brick is marked with 10kg.

What made Chen Wang a little disappointed was that there were no strange realm items in it.

But this is normal. After all, there is a big difference between the people the principal comes into contact with and the people Mad Dog comes in contact with.

Chen Wang counted the gold bricks and found ten.

The current market price of 1 gram is 500, and that gold brick is worth million. Ten yuan, that’s fifty million.

Chen Wang couldn't help but be a little speechless. Is this school so profitable? This principal actually made so much money!

Moreover, according to what Xiao Zhao said, what is here is just part of the principal's stolen money.

Shaking his head, Chen Wang took out the testing equipment and tested the safe.

It is obvious that Principal Zhong Lin is very confident in his safe and does not even have a tracking chip installed.

Seeing this, Chen Wang was not polite.

Simply clean out the documents and gold bricks in the safe and wrap them in a snakeskin bag.

After doing this, he took out his mobile phone and started to return everything in the principal's room to its original position based on the photos.

Looking at the spotless principal's office, Chen Wang felt slightly relieved.

According to the current situation, it should be possible to hide it for a while.

Immediately, Chen Wang left the principal's office and walked out of the school.

Everything was done without any accidents.

I don’t know how much smoother it was than at Mad Dog’s house.

Back in the car, Chen Wang put the snakeskin bag away and touched the calico cat.

"Meow..." The calico cat meowed softly, yawned and stretched.

Chen Wang touched the calico cat's chin and called Xiao Zhao directly to ask if there was anything that had not been cleaned up.

"No problem. I will arrange a route for you to come back. Just follow this route. By the way, I will also handle the surveillance for you when your car arrives at Qing'an No. 1 Middle School. You don't have to worry about public security. What did the bureau find?" Xiao Zhao checked the surveillance camera and said directly.

"Yeah, okay." Chen Wang responded, started the car, and drove off according to the route.

Then he was ready to hang up the phone.

"By the way." At this moment, Xiao Zhao's voice came again, "Do you plan to continue doing this? To be honest, you are really suitable for making money like this. I also know that there are still some people who have money positions. Don't want to do it together?

These people's money is really easy to get hold of. Not only are they unprofessional in their defense, but even if you steal their money, they don't dare to say anything about it. This is easier and more profitable than robbing a bank. "

"Forget it, let's find a way to survive from the treacherous realm first. If you don't survive from the treacherous realm, there is no point in spending more money." Chen Wang gently fiddled with the steering wheel, turned a corner, and said slowly.

He knew this very well.

No matter how much money you have, it is not as important as your life.

Having experienced illness and death in his previous life, he had already seen this matter clearly.

Life is always more important than money.

Chen Wang hung up the phone and continued to drive towards his home.

Now, he couldn't wait to know what happened to Wang Lili's death.

Although he had always known that Wang Lili's death must have been something fishy, ​​he didn't know exactly what it was.

"Buzzing..." At this moment, a phone call came.

Chen Wang took a look and saw that it was Liu Xin.

He paused for a moment and answered the phone.

"What, did you take action? Have you got the evidence?" Liu Xin asked.

"I got it." Chen Wang touched the gold bricks in the co-pilot's snakeskin bag with his fingers and replied.

"Then where are you? I'm going to find you!" Liu Xin said excitedly.

"Tomorrow. I want to rest now." Chen Wang said lightly.

Hearing what he said, Liu Xin suddenly became anxious, "Why do you like procrastination so much? Just give it to me when you get it. I'll investigate Wang Lili's case."

"Mr. Liu, I'm not your subordinate, so you don't have to yell at me. I'm telling you, I'm informing you, not discussing with you." Chen Wang said calmly, and then hung up the phone.

Then he continued driving.

To be honest, Chen Wang couldn't say he disliked people like Liu Xin. At least what he did was always ethical.

It's just that this society is too dark, and people like Liu Xin appear too dazzling and will only sting anyone who lives in the darkness.

"Huh..." Chen Wang exhaled softly, looked at the neon lights outside the window, and shook his head.

He also really wants to live an upright life.

He didn't want to kill anyone, nor did he want to do this kind of stealing.

But if he doesn't do this, there's no way he can survive.

Like this theft, it was done in order to find and bring down the Xie family. If the Xie family hadn't collapsed, then his family would have been the unlucky one.

Everyone wants to live an upright life, but not everyone is qualified to live an upright life.

About half an hour later, Chen Wang drove his car to the small courtyard and drove directly into the underground parking lot.

Then, he took two snakeskin bags and carried the calico cat upstairs to the living room.

At this time, the living room was bright and the curtains were drawn.

The room that seemed a bit crude before has now been decorated to look like a real home.

"You're back!" Xiao Zhao's eyes lit up when he saw the two snakeskin bags Chen Wang was carrying.

Then, she said with some disgust: "Why are you using this bag? Can't you use a better bag?"

"Too lazy to buy." Chen Wang didn't care about Xiao Zhao's dislike.

What's wrong with this snakeskin bag? In its previous life, it even appeared on the catwalk of a luxury brand.

What's more, just have a bag to put it in.

No matter what kind of bag it is, it doesn’t affect what’s inside.

"Ah! Why did you bring the cat back!?" At this moment, Xiao Zhao saw the cat and couldn't help but say.

"I picked it up on the road. I thought it was pitiful so I brought it back." Chen Wang replied.

Hearing his words, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but look at the calico cat in Chen Wang's arms.

The calico cat's fur is shiny, chubby, and very clean.

She couldn't see how pitiful this calico cat was.

"By the way, let me tell you something. He has no cash there, only ten gold bricks. According to the previous division, you take two of them. For the rest, you can see if you can help me sell the stolen goods and launder the money by the way." Chen Wang didn't want to tell Xiao Zhao about the calico cat.

Put the calico cat on the ground and let it get familiar with its new environment.

Then, Chen Wang put the snakeskin bag containing the gold bricks on the ground and said to Xiao Zhao.

"Wow, so many!" Xiao Zhao couldn't help but exclaimed when he heard what he said.

Although she had previously investigated that the principal had a lot of corruption, she did not expect that Chen Wang would get so much back at once.

"Okay, I'll use these gold bricks to launder them. But you still have a lot of funds. You happen to be a professional investor, so I'll launder the money by raising the stock price." Xiao Zhao nodded. He nodded and said.

"Yeah, okay." Chen Wang nodded.

In this matter, the other party is professional.

He also trusts the other party very much.

As for whether Xiao Zhao may be corrupt...

This possibility is not high. Now he and the other party are deeply bound to a certain extent.

The probability of the other party being corrupt is extremely low.

Unless the other party no longer wants to live in the strange realm.

Chen Wang paused, looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "By the way, do me a favor. I need you to find a video of a girl drowning."

He placed the other bag in front of Xiao Zhao.

"Video of a girl drowning?" Xiao Zhao was startled.
