Chapter 922: Darkness Under the Lamp

To tell the truth, if it weren't for this person's reminder, everyone including Wang An would have long forgotten the matter of the IOUs to the corners.

Mainly, the stimulation given by the things in these two rooms was truly a bit too big.

Perhaps in everyone's minds now, they were still thinking about that box of gold and that piece of dog-head gold.

That's money! And a huge sum of money!

Besides, IOUs are of no use to everyone, so who would think of looking for this thing?

But although this person who asked was a suspect, the issue of IOUs should indeed be valued. After all, those IOUs are equivalent to evidence, and many clues can definitely be found from the IOUs.

Subconsciously, Sun Nian asked Captain Zhang and Captain Zhou:

"Where do you think those IOUs were hidden?"

At this time, Captain Zhou and Captain Zhang didn't know what they were thinking, so when they heard Sun Nian's question, the two were stunned for a moment. After reacting, Captain Zhang said:

"All the places that can be searched have been searched, and I can't think of where those IOUs could be hidden."

After Captain Zhang finished, Captain Zhou followed closely:

"In their line of work, IOUs should logically be placed in a place that can be reached at any time, but all the things in this room have been searched, and they haven't been found. This matter is truly not easy to guess."

Just at this time, Wang An suddenly remembered a detail, which was that on the wall of the room where Wei Cheng and the others were shot to death, there was a wall clock.

And this wall clock also looked completely inconspicuous, just like the kind of ordinary wall clock sold in the supply and marketing cooperative, almost no different.

Connecting it with the small box containing the dog-head gold, Wang An suddenly thought of the three words "darkness under the lamp."

Because whether it was the clay statue or this wall clock, they were placed by Wei Cheng in a very conspicuous place; it could be said that one could see it as soon as they entered the door.

Therefore, perhaps everyone who walked into the room would subconsciously ignore it, and would also subconsciously feel that it was just an ordinary object, with nothing to pay attention to at all.

Thinking of this, Wang An said to Sun Nian:

"Sister Nian, do you think the wall clock in the room could be like the clay statue, with something else inside?"

Hearing Wang An's words, not only Sun Nian was stunned, but even the two squadron leaders and the few police officers nearby were stunned.

Immediately after, Sun Nian said with a smile:

"That's right, why didn't I think of it? Hahahaha..."

As she spoke, Sun Nian took the lead and walked into the room.

Sure enough, when a police officer stood on a stool and took this wall clock down, a small hole about 20cm deep, 20cm high, and 20cm wide was revealed on the wall behind the wall clock.

And in this small hole, another small wooden box was placed.

This small wooden box looked very similar to the previous two, and even the wood used was the same, all local famous yellow-barked wood.

Clearly, this box and the previous two boxes were all from the hands of the same carpenter.

And because this small box was often used, it was polished very brightly.

Seeing this small box, Captain Zhou couldn't help but twitch his mouth:

"This Wei Cheng, he gave himself the nickname Pixiu, but I think it's better to call him a gray dog. This ability to hide things is truly awesome."

A gray dog, which is a squirrel, has the biggest hobby of always being busy hiding food, such as pine nuts, mountain walnuts, mountain hazelnuts, etc., hiding them very secretly. Many times, because they hide too much, even they themselves forget.

Hearing Captain Zhou's words, everyone in the room couldn't help but laugh.

When Sun Nian opened this box, she found that inside there was not only a thick stack of IOUs, ten-yuan bills, but also two small notebooks stapled with white paper.

Sun Nian picked up one of the notebooks and flipped through it. Sun Nian, who was full of smiles because of Captain Zhou's words, had her expression gradually solidify, and even her two very beautiful little eyebrows were gradually tightly knitted together.

After picking up the other one and flipping through it a few times, Sun Nian's face had already become gloomy.

It could be seen that the content recorded in these two notebooks was definitely something quite shocking.

After flipping through it simply a few more times, Sun Nian put these IOUs and the two small notebooks back into the small box, and didn't call the people around her to seal it, but just clamped the box under her own armpit.

I don't know what was recorded in those two notebooks that could make Sun Nian value it so much.

However, whether it was Captain Zhang or Captain Zhou, or Wang An or Wang Li, no one curiously went to ask actively, but just like they didn't notice Sun Nian's face, they turned their heads away.

It's still that sentence, some things are better not known, and many things are not to be asked about blindly. Knowing is not as good as not knowing.

After Sun Nian clamped the small box under her armpit, she turned to Captain Zhou and Captain Zhang and said:

"Captain Zhang, Captain Zhou, you two divide half of the people in your respective squadrons for me to lead. I will take them to send the thugs outside back to the bureau, and then you two take the remaining people to search the whole courtyard carefully again to see if there is anything missed."

Captain Zhang and Captain Zhou heard this and answered almost simultaneously:

"Yes, Captain Sun."

Sun Nian nodded and turned to walk outside.

Wang An and Wang Li naturally wanted to follow Sun Nian. Wang An walked a few steps quickly and asked Sun Nian:

"Sister Nian, if there's nothing for us, then we'll go home, okay?"

Wang An and Wang Li's identities were just militia. For such a big case, they actually shouldn't be involved. It's just that Wang An, as the initiator of the destruction of Wei Cheng's team and the sworn brother of Zhang Shuya, had the opportunity to participate in this matter.

And now, Wei Cheng and the four so-called sharpshooters were all dead, and those who should be caught were caught. The key is that Zhang Shuya's unit also increased a lot of revenue, so Wang An felt that there was no need for him and Wang Li.

Who knew Sun Nian would say without looking back:

"Lao Wu, go home. Xiao An, you have to ride the sidecar to send me back to the county. At noon, your sister said she arranged a temporary job for you, so go to the bureau to handle the documents."

When Wang An heard this, his whole person was instantly stunned. This Zhang Shuya didn't know what she was thinking, why would she arrange such a job for him?

Mainly, to put it nicely, it's called a temporary staff; to put it ugly, it's actually just a damn temporary worker.

With Wang An's current net worth and wealth, would he lack such a job as a temporary worker?

So arranging such a job for Wang An is truly of no use at all.
