reckless detective

Chapter 39

This is an old house of more than 40 square meters, two bedrooms, the living room is very small, the kitchen and bathroom are also very cramped, but fortunately the two bedrooms can still be considered spacious.

The white walls have turned yellow, and there are still water marks and blue mildew spots on the corner of the ceiling in the living room, which should be caused by running water upstairs.

The room was empty except for a chair in the living room with one leg missing.

The chair stands against the wall, and a few bricks are placed on the missing legs, like some kind of performance art.

One of the bedrooms was completely empty, and a tattered quilt was piled up in the corner of the other bedroom. As soon as Yan Ruyu approached, a few woodworms came out of the quilt in a panic and hid in the corner. Gap, gone.

Wu Cuo frowned and said, "Is there anything to check in this room?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "I'll take another look."

"Then I will visit the surrounding neighbors first, hoping to find residents who have not moved away."

After Wu left by mistake, Yan Ruyu put on gloves and lifted the quilt, but there was nothing to gain except a suffocating musty smell.

He inspected each room one by one without changing his expression, but he could see the whole house at a glance, and there was no place to hide anything at all.

"No, there must be a problem," Yan Ruyu said to herself: "Although the place is remote and the house is broken, it is on the edge of Jingbei City. If you want to sell it, you can always find investment buyers at a cheaper price. Besides, they are in such an urgent need. With money, why keep this house?"

He walked to the bathroom again inadvertently. There was a dirty smell in the bathroom that had soaked into the wall and floor tiles. Yan Ruyu stood at the door of the bathroom, holding his breath and looking inside.

At this point, a simple water storage tank above the bathroom caught Yan Ruyu's attention.

It was a tin box with red rust on the bottom.

There was a wire attached to the side of the box, and the plug was off, leaving the copper wire exposed.A spout protruded from the front of the box, and at the end of the spout was a plastic shower that seemed to have been blocked by rust.

The principle of a simple shower is similar to that of the current electric kettle. First, fill water into it, then turn on the electricity, heat the water in the water tank to a temperature suitable for bathing, and then turn on the shower to take a shower.

Looking at this thing, Yan Ruyu first admired the wisdom of the working people from the bottom of his heart, and then he moved the chairs and bricks from the living room.

He padded the chair with bricks, shook it vigorously a few times, and after making sure it was stable, he stood on the chair.

The top of the water tank is too close to the ceiling, and Yan Ruyu can't see the situation above because of his feet, so he can only reach out and touch it. After a few touches, he found a circular opening, which should be used for water injection.

Standing on the stool and thinking for a while, Yan Ruyu took out her mobile phone from her pocket, turned on the camera, and set it to take pictures with the flash on.

He poked his phone into the hole and took a dozen photos one after another.

The photos are fairly clear. In the first few photos, only red mottled rust and sometimes spider webs can be seen. In the fourth photo, there is a piece of light blue in the corner, but due to the focus problem, the picture is very blurred, and it is impossible to see what it is. .

It wasn't until the ninth photo that Blue finally showed her true colors.Although it is not very clear, it can be seen that it is a translucent document bag, which contains documents the size of A4 paper, and the thickness is only a few thin sheets of paper.

The file bag was obviously hidden here on purpose, Yan Ruyu and this secret were only separated by a metal box.

He took off his coat and put it on the back of the chair, rolled up the sleeves of his shirt, and put his hands into the black hole.

Although Yan Ruyu tried his best to focus on his feet and extended his arms, he could only reach half of his forearm into the round hole, not enough to reach the bottom of the box.

"What are you doing?"

As soon as she heard Wu Cuo's voice, Yan Ruyu said without turning her head: "There is something inside."

"Come down and let me try."

"You have nothing to play, you are far away, and you are not a gibbon."

Wu Cuo smiled and shook the two dead branches in his hand, "The biggest difference between humans and monkeys is that humans can create tools."

Yan Ruyu's eyes lit up, she took the dead tree branch, poked it into the round hole, and manipulated the two dead tree branches as if using chopsticks, trying to clamp the file bag, but she tried several times but failed.

"Some people have poor hands-on skills and insist on being brave." Wu Cuo crossed his arms and watched Yan Ruyu busy.

Yan Ruyu jumped off the chair, "Isn't it to show how powerful you are, lest you suffer intellectually every day and affect your mental health."

Sure enough, Wu made a mistake to stand on the lame chair, and got the file bag in his hand.

"Look at what's inside!" Yan Ruyu said impatiently.

"An insurance policy? Accidental injury insurance, the policyholder and beneficiary are both Wang Yuan, and the insured is Wang Yaoguo."

Yan Ruyu reached out and turned the insurance contract to the last page, looked at the insurance date and said: "I bought it a year ago, and it happened to be not long before the move."

Wu Cuo was obviously more concerned about the insurance amount. He looked back and forth at the contract and said, "If Wang Yaoguo dies due to an accident, Wang Yuan will be able to get 200 million in compensation from the insurance company. ?”

"Besides, Wang Yaoguo is already at the terminal stage of cancer. Instead of dying of illness, it is better to cause an accidental death, so that he can get the insurance money."

Thinking of Wang Yuan's motive for killing, the two couldn't help but feel chills down their backs.

"That's his own father! Can he really do it?" Wu Cuo's voice trembled a little.

"The evil of human nature is like a bottomless pit, you never know where the lower limit is." Yan Ruyu sighed, "Go back, the key thing has been found."

On the way back, Yan Ruyu asked, "What did you find out during the visit?"

Wu Cuo said: "I found two old residents. According to their reactions, Wang Yuan is notorious in the neighborhood."

"Oh?"

"This kid is addicted to gambling. He is a frequent visitor to a nearby chess and card room—in fact, a black casino. He gambles desperately. But he is really good at poker and mahjong. People say that he loses nine out of ten bets, and he belongs to the remaining That one is win-win.

Later, the reason why Wang Yuan owed 10,000+ gambling debts was that he complained to others because he was tricked out, saying that the casino owner and the loan shark jointly set him up. Since then, debt collectors have come to the door every day to disturb Other residents of the same unit were disturbed.

By the way, Wang Yuan once said that sooner or later he would make those who plotted against him look good, but this means that a year ago, Wang Yaoguo was diagnosed with advanced cancer, and Wang Yuan seemed to be a different person, so he stopped gambling. , thinking of ways to get money for his father's medical treatment.Later, it may be to avoid debts - so the neighbors guessed, the father and son moved, and the neighbors never heard of them again. "

After Wu Cuo finished speaking, the two were silent for a long time. Yan Ruyu lit a cigarette, looked out of the car window and said, "I really hope that Wang Yuan is the prodigal son who turned back, and I really hope that he didn't premeditate everything."

　Recently, I have been confused, and I don’t know how to write about human nature more vividly under the cloak of rationality and documentary.My writing is still too bad, most of the time I just narrate in a straightforward manner, my writing is not sophisticated enough, I stumble, but fortunately there are still friends, you are the reason for me to persist and become better, thank you!Thank you to everyone who has rewarded me, voted for me, and left me a message!
