Chapter 131: In the End, the Suspicion Was Not Cleared

He Yuzhu smiled silently in his heart: "This Xu Zhongyi finally asked the point."

"You are talking about the enemy-special sabotage, right? What does that have to do with Jia Zhangshi? No matter how I don't deal with Jia Zhangshi, don't look at her pleasingly, and don't reason, I can't say she is an enemy-special and put this matter on Jia Zhangshi, right?"

"Jia Zhangshi, that old pious woman, is still working in the countryside. It's so strict there, how can she run out? This is our New World. We have to talk about evidence and law. We can't be like what is said in the opera, letting Jia Zhangshi go to the Fengboting in the name of groundless charges?"

"Brother, I think you are drunk," He Yuzhu said with a double meaning.

"Yes, yes, yes, drunk, should be beaten, how can I talk nonsense," Xu Zhongyi said quickly, and said with a drunken look.

"Brother, what does this kind of thing have to do with us ordinary people? Just do your own job and obey the arrangements from above. Having said that, let's talk about Yan Bugui in our courtyard. Don't look at him being very stingy, but he is really in charge."

"That night, at first everyone thought it was an earthquake. Yan Bugui in our courtyard immediately called everyone up, for fear that everyone would be smashed. Regardless of his shortcomings, he cares very much about things related to everyone's life and death. So, the Street Office is ready to let him become a mediator in the courtyard again."

"I didn't expect his good eldest son to pit him hard. Hahahaha..." He Yuzhu laughed, pretending to be unable to hold back.

"What is this called? This is called parents are not kind, children are not filial. Yan Bugui is stingy for the sake of stinginess. He counts the roots of salted vegetables at home and calculates everywhere. He is not without money. If he has no money, everything can be understood. But he has money, but he is reluctant to take it out. Who can feel suppressed if this matter is on anyone?"

"Yan Jiecheng is still timid, just threatening the principal, wanting to take his father's class. If this matter were on me, I would go directly to the Square to hold a sign. At worst, I would go to the gate of Zhongnanhai to smash the stone lion, mainly for fairness," He Yuzhu said, and hiccuped, looking drunk.

"If Teacher Yan really has money and is so stingy, then it's wrong. This matter is really unbearable for anyone. However, it is difficult for honest officials to break housework. We are not even honest officials, just sit on the sidelines and watch the fun," Xu Zhongyi said.

"Yes, yes, let's sit on the sidelines and watch the fun," He Yuzhu smiled.

"Speaking of fun, it was very lively that night. I saw it with my own eyes. I was on my way home after drinking, and I happened to pass by. I saw with my own eyes that the good ground suddenly appeared a big hole, and so many houses, with a 'kucha' sound, fell into it."

"Brother Pillar, don't be afraid of you laughing at me. I was scared to the point of soft legs at that time. At first, I thought I was drunk and dazzled. When I looked carefully, I was really not dazzled."

"I don't understand how a big hole appeared on the good ground? If it was dug by manpower, it wouldn't be done in a year or a half. Besides, if it was really dug by manpower, were those people blind? Were their ears deaf? Can't they see such a big movement?"

"If you say it was blown up with explosives, there was no sound at all. It was like... it was like someone suddenly used a fairy secret method to take away the soil underground, which led to such a big hole on the flat ground," Xu Zhongyi said.

He Yuzhu couldn't help but sneer in his heart: "It has been adjusted to this point, and such assumptions have begun."

"Hahahaha, brother, I think you should stop doing procurement and go to write books. Where is there any fairy secret method in this world? Don't say this outside, it will cause trouble."

"However, having said that, the wind comes from the hole, and there must be a reason. Maybe the myths and legends of thousands of years are true, just like the twelve zodiac signs. Why do those eleven have it, but not the dragon? Without a dragon, how can it become a zodiac sign? Is it because there were dragons before, but the dragons became extinct, so we can't see them, but the ancients saw them before, so the dragon became a zodiac sign?"

"Brother, have you heard this sentence: experts are among the people. If you want to listen to fun, I will point you to a bright path. You go to Tianqiao, what kind of people are not there?"

"There are people from all walks of life. Listen to the folk anecdotes told by the storytellers, listen to what they say, and maybe there will be clues from their mouths," He Yuzhu said.

"Brother Pillar, what you said makes sense. I don't have any other hobbies, I just like to listen to these stories. Then I will go to Tianqiao to listen to the storytellers tell stories when I rest," Xu Zhongyi saw that he couldn't get any words out, so he followed He Yuzhu's words.

"Okay, it's almost done today. If you drink more, you will be drunk. Wait until next time, I will get some hard dishes, and I will treat you," He Yuzhu said, looking drunk.

"Good, let's drink again next time. When the time comes, taste Brother Pillar's craftsmanship again and listen to Brother Pillar talk about these things," Xu Zhongyi said.

He Yuzhu got up staggeringly, looking drunk, and then refused Xu Zhongyi's kindness to send himself home, shouting: "Yan Jiedi, Yan Jiekun."

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, the figures of Yan Jiedi and Yan Jiekun appeared.

"Brother, we promised Yan Jiedi at the beginning that we would give her chicken heads and chicken soup. We must keep our word. Jiekun, help me back, I will give you a corn bun," He Yuzhu said, shaking his body, looking drunk and unable to stand still.

"Okay!" Yan Jiekun helped He Yuzhu and walked to the middle courtyard.

Xu Zhongyi gave the chicken head and a bowl of chicken soup to Yan Jiedi after they left.

After they left, Xu Zhongyi narrowed his eyes, his face sank, and said in a deep voice: "How credible are his words?"

"Can't tell. Either this person is a treacherous and evil person, or he is just a cook with some skills," Gu Yufei shook her head and said.

"Wait a while, wait until everyone is asleep, and I will go out to report," Xu Zhongyi said.

Gu Yufei nodded.

After Xu Zhongyi waited for an hour and found that everyone was asleep, he quietly left the Siheyuan and went straight to the Rolling Mill Security Section.

When Xu Zhongyi passed by He Yuzhu's house, he took a special look. Although it was dark and he couldn't see anything, He Yuzhu's thunderous snoring proved that He Yuzhu was sleeping soundly. Immediately, Xu Zhongyi went to the Rolling Mill.

At this time, the Rolling Mill Security Section had been completely taken over by the investigation team.

Before Xu Zhongyi could report in time, his direct superior Yang Kecheng said: "At 7:42 tonight, a big hole appeared in the place where the messenger of A-what-er-what-ba-what-ni-what-ya was, and the house and people fell into the hole. There were no survivors."

"What? So serious? Did those old blacks all die? That's troublesome," Xu Zhongyi said with a changing face.

"It's more serious than you think. This incident is still the same as before, all happening silently. The only difference is that no one died before, but now people have died. What do you think?" Yang Kecheng said.

"According to the normal train of thought, this kind of thing is not done by one person. It must be organized and premeditated. This excludes He Yuzhu, because whether it is the weapon loss incident in the Rolling Mill Security Section today or the old black death incident tonight, He Yuzhu has been in front of my eyes." "Unless He Yuzhu is that Monkey King, with great magical powers, otherwise, it is impossible to do this."

"However, when I was drinking and chatting with He Yuzhu tonight, He Yuzhu touched me with a sentence. He Yuzhu said: experts are among the people. If you really want to listen to this kind of fun, go to Tianqiao to listen to the storybooks told by those storytellers." "The wind comes from the hole, and there must be a reason. Maybe we can find a clue in those absurd storybooks," Xu Zhongyi said.

Yang Kecheng nodded upon hearing this and said: "According to the normal train of thought, He Yuzhu can indeed be excluded. He has no time to commit the crime, no method to commit the crime, and no motive to commit the crime."

"Then what if we consider it from an abnormal train of thought?" Yang Kecheng asked.

"Then there is no way to say it, and... can such words be said casually?" Xu Zhongyi looked around and found no one before saying in a low voice.

"I know, but the facts happened right in front of our eyes. According to the normal train of thought, it can't be explained at all. Except for the explanation of gods and ghosts, it can't be explained clearly at all," Yang Kecheng frowned and said, very helpless.

"Then can we extend it from the perspective of the motive of the crime? Why didn't people die before, but people died this time? Why is it the old black who died? Is there any article in this?" Xu Zhongyi asked.

"Go, let's go out and stroll," Yang Kecheng said with a heavy face.

Yang Kecheng took Xu Zhongyi out of the Security Section and came to an open space. Yang Kecheng saw that there was no one around, so he said in a low voice: "I just got the news that our Foreign Affairs Ministry got a batch of grain from Canada. However, this grain was not used to relieve the country, but was repacked at the port and prepared to be sent to that A-what-er-what-ba-what-ni-what-ya."

"After the higher-ups learned that the messenger of A-what-ni-what-ya died, they thought this matter was related to the grain, so they intercepted the grain sent out."

"The higher-ups believe that this is a deterrent. If the grain is not used to relieve our own people, those mysterious people or mysterious groups will poke bigger trouble and use more cruel means to deter. After all, there, a big hole also appeared silently. What does this explain? Everyone understands," Yang Kecheng said carefully and in a very low voice.

"Isn't this the old Chiang set? Resist the outside first, then settle the inside. Our policy is to unite all people who can be united. It is true that they are enemy-specials. However, how did they do it?"

"No! No! It's not the people on Old Chiang's side. If it were the people on Old Chiang's side, they would have counterattacked long ago and would not be sitting still like they are now."

"If it were someone else, this person's level could not be low. Otherwise, they could not know such confidential things. Is our investigation direction wrong? We should investigate those big courtyard children. They are the easiest people to come into contact with such information," Xu Zhongyi said.

"Perhaps their elders accidentally leaked their mouths, attracting their dissatisfaction. They don't agree with doing so and think they should save their own people first, so they use deterrent means to stop the grain from being sent out," Xu Zhongyi said.

"If so, it makes sense in theory, but in practice, how did they do it? Even digging a tunnel is not something one or two people can do, nor is it something that can be done in a month or two. How much does it cost?"

"What's more, we didn't find any tunnels," Xu Zhongyi spread his hands and said.

Yang Kecheng also frowned tightly. Having been in the espionage industry for so many years, Yang Kecheng thought he had fought many battles and seen too many things, but he had never seen such a thing.

"Did we miss any details?" Xu Zhongyi asked.

"It is impossible to miss anything. Even if we miss it, there are still them. You can not believe their virtue, but you can't doubt their professionalism," Yang Kecheng said.

After Yang Kecheng finished speaking, there was silence.

After a long silence, Yang Kecheng suddenly asked: "Zhongyi, do you think we can arrest He Yuzhu for interrogation, and use some means if necessary?"

Xu Zhongyi thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Although He Yuzhu excluded the suspicion, it was only considered from a normal train of thought. We first determined that there was a mysterious person. As long as that mysterious person appeared, a bat pattern would appear in the sky."

"If, I mean if, there really is such a strange person who uses some method to cause this, then everything makes sense. Then the question comes, what if this person is He Yuzhu?"

"He Yuzhu has this ability, chatting and chatting with you while using this method to cause the house to collapse and people to die. If we really use means, it is equivalent to tearing our face, then it is not as simple as the police station catching thieves, it is war," Xu Zhongyi said slowly.

"Sigh, fear of the rat. Assuming He Yuzhu really has this ability, aren't you particularly dangerous in front of him? You and Yufei should withdraw," Yang Kecheng said.

"I think the most dangerous place is the safest. What's more, He Yuzhu's suspicion is really small. This matter is so serious, our couple still chooses to stay and nest for a while."

"According to my train of thought, you can transfer Ming Tai away. Ming Tai looks like he came from a big family and is not suitable for the Siheyuan full of chicken feathers and garlic skins. You

"Following my line of reasoning, you can have Ming Tai transferred. One look at Ming Tai and you can tell he comes from a wealthy and prominent family; he is not suited for a Siheyuan filled with trivial, petty matters. You can transfer Ming Tai to a large compound; he is suited for that kind of environment. You can continue your investigation according to my line of reasoning," Xu Zhongyi said.

Yang Kecheng nodded.

"So, have the higher-ups decided to distribute those provisions to the people below? To be honest, although I've only been at the Siheyuan for two days, the lives of the people below are truly too bitter. And this is still in Sijiucheng; in the countryside, it is even more unbearable to witness," Xu Zhongyi said.

"The higher-ups have also decided to bring in provisions to appease the masses. The higher-ups don't dare to take risks either. What if that mysterious person is provoked and decides to pull something big?" Yang Kecheng said.

"Sigh, that's the only way," Xu Zhongyi lamented.

He Yuzhu clearly did not know that, according to normal logic, he had already been cleared of suspicion; yet, according to abnormal logic, He Yuzhu had not been cleared of suspicion.

However, He Yuzhu did not care. After finishing the underground survival tools, he began to build his own Bat Cave.

Although He Yuzhu had a cheat, building the Bat Cave was not a task that could be completed in a day or two. He Yuzhu was not in a hurry; he could just work on it from time to time, and occasionally show his face to attract their attention.
