Chapter 143 Not for property

Dongzhou East District is a beautiful high-end residential area, with noble and elegant wealthy mansions everywhere.

An exquisite villa stands in a green grass. It is the residence of Li Mengru, the director of the Dongzhou Chamber of Commerce and the owner of Dongzhou Textile Factory. The vast woods surround the place layer by layer, adding a bit of beauty to the scenery there.

Li Mengru's physical condition is very bad, although he was just over 60 years old. A heart attack ten weeks ago caused him to lie down on the bed and lie down until now.

At this time, An Xueru, who was worried, walked in and asked:

"How is it now? After the doctor gave you an injection, did you feel better?"

"Thank you for your concern, Xueru, I feel much better!"

"That's good! To prevent recurrence, it's better not to move casually, it's better to be cautious."

An Xueru pulled the blanket on her husband, then handed him a business card, and said, "Agent Li Yunshan of the Security Bureau introduced us to a private detective, who had just arrived not long ago. This is his business card."

A line of characters printed on it:

Starlight Detective Firm Lang Xiaobai investigates the case for free.

"It is said that Lang Xiaobai is a detective with great skills, and he solved many confusing cases." An Xueru said.

"What does he think of this case?" Li Mengru asked.

"He just arrived, and I haven't told him the situation."

"So that's the case. Then tell him the case in detail! Please start an investigation immediately."

"Okay." An Xueru said that and returned to the living room.

There was a man standing quietly in the living room, wearing a slightly worn black coat, with his cuffs about to be worn, and he was waiting for his wife.

He has a majestic figure and a strong body. His face seems to be covered with a layer of metal, and his expression is silent, making people feel that he seems very cold and rude. Moreover, he seems a little poor and down. Is he that famous detective? An Xueru

There was some doubt in my heart. An Xueru thought, and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

However, the man looked at An Xueru with a firm look and said:

"Madam, please tell me what you know about the case! Please tell me in detail what you know."

"Well, that happened on Sunday two weeks ago. It seemed that at around four in the morning, a sudden sound woke me up from my sleep. I listened in fear for a while, and finally heard the sound of closing the door."

"From which direction did it come?"

"It's in the living room next to the bedroom. At that time, I wanted to lie quietly on the bed, but I was really worried that my sick husband would get up, quietly walk into the living room, and turn on the light."

"Then what?"

"There were some ivory ornaments and antiques scattered on the ground, and those small glass boxes that were originally arranged in the decorative cabinet, and nothing was moved. I was very scared and hurried to my husband's bedroom. My husband was at the time.

When he was reading the book, he said he did not hear any strange sounds. We immediately called the housekeeper because we were really worried."

"What's going on later?"

"There were no abnormalities in all the doors and windows. After the housekeeper inspected the surroundings, he found no trace of anyone sneaking in. Even so, my husband was still worried, and he called the police in the morning."

"Does the Security Bureau have any conclusions?"

"They did not find any abnormal situation either! The Security Bureau could not find where the suspect sneaked in and where he slipped away. However, it was obvious that the suspect sneaked in."

"Why is it said to be 'obvious'?" Lang Xiaobai asked coldly.

"Because half a burning candle was found under the chair, and an old wrench.

"Just the day before, the water company sent someone to repair the faucet in the bathroom in my husband's bedroom. The security department invited the water company's supervisor to identify the wrench, and the supervisor immediately recognized it as a tool used by our employees.

.”

"In this case, is that repairman the biggest suspicion?"

"Yes, the Security Bureau also thinks so. However, it didn't take long for the Security Bureau to rule out the suspicion of the repairman."

"Why?"

"Because the worker was not on the scene when the crime occurred. He took a leave that afternoon and took the train at 6 pm to the West End. That is to say, three hours before the crime, the repairman was already in the West End."

"You mean the repairman has indeed had evidence that he was not present, and has that man returned to the East?"

"No. I heard that he took action against Zhou Chuo in the West District and enjoyed himself for a while, and then his whereabouts were unknown."

"Where is unknown?...Oh...Which agent is responsible for this case?" Lang Xiaobai thoughtfully.

"It's Agent Li Yunshan."

"So it's Li Yunshan? That's great. Madam, Li Yunshan and I are good friends. He is a very good agent. I think if he handles this case, the criminals will be arrested quickly."

"But... the situation is not that good, otherwise, how could he recommend you to do it?"

"Oh, it turns out that Li Yunshan introduced me to his wife."

Lang Xiaobai seemed to smile happily and said, "Madam, Li Yunshan and I have a deep affection. I feel very honored to serve his wife with him."

After saying that, he walked to the window, let the cold glass gently lean against his forehead, and then turned around and asked, "Madam, does Agent Li Yunshan really believe that the suspect has entered the mansion and returned empty-handed?

Is this true? Well, I just said there were signs of a suspect coming, but nothing was lost.”

Lang Xiaobai asked meaningfully, then straightened his body and stared at An Xueru's eyes and said, "Madam, don't you think this matter is a bit strange? The suspect entered the mansion after several twists and turns, but returned in vain...

Do you think that the suspect entered the mansion not for property, but for other purposes? This means that this case is not a theft case, but actually there is a conspiracy... and only the wife can solve this question!"

Lang Xiaobai's tone became sharper.

An Xueru seemed a little panicked: "No, no...I don't understand this matter...I really don't know at all!"

"But, can you ask your wife to take me to the living room?"

"Then... OK! Please follow me."

The two walked into a small living room, which looked very special. Lang Xiaobai quickly observed the surroundings, and then a elusive smile floated on the corner of his mouth. He suddenly pointed to a wall and asked.

:

"Madam, is there anything behind this layer of wallpaper?"

"What...is it?" An Xueru's voice couldn't help but tremble.

"My lady really doesn't understand what I mean, so I have to tell the truth. Yu Ran couldn't see anything on the outside of the wall, but the lady still told the truth. What is under the wallpaper? Is it a secret door or a secret safe?
