Chapter 212 Inheritance
While driving, Zhang Nianzu lowered his head and glanced at the address sent by Ah Si.
No. 4, lane 1, street 1.
Zhang Nianzu couldn't help but say, "It seems that Du Heng is really not short of money." He had heard of this place. It was a newly developed project of a real estate company. Only seven or eight units were sold at the beginning, and the prices were not cheap. People have different tastes. Some rich people like to live in big villas, while others like down-to-earth courtyard houses. These courtyards are scattered on the streets not far from the downtown area, and not everyone can afford them.
Zhang Nianzu parked the car not far from the destination and turned into an alley. Here, high walls stood, it was quiet, and the unique emitted soft light. Zhang Nianzu stretched out his hand and pointed. The gate in front of them was Courtyard No. 4.
Ah San looked at the wide double-opening iron door and said, "Let's rush in and catch him off guard."
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "This is a sneak attack, and a sneak attack must be done in the manner of a sneak attack." As he said this, he bent down, gathered his strength, and jumped, grabbing the top of the wall with both hands, and half-crouched on the wall with one leg.
Asan and Li Changgui jumped up in the same way, and the two of them protected Zhang Nianzu in the middle, one on the left and one on the right.
The yard was pitch black and silent. The three people jumped lightly to the ground and moved together to the window of the nearest room.
Li Changgui turned the door handle and pushed it. It was locked from the inside. He glanced at Ah San, who leaned against the other side of the door. The two of them pushed inwards secretly. The door was lifted steadily in the air without making any sound. Zhang Nianzu laughed. It seemed that the two of them were getting better and better at coordinating their "snatching through the door" skills.
Zhang Nianzu entered the room and turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone. There was indeed no one inside. From the furnishings and the clothes scattered on the bed, he could tell that this was a bedroom.
Ah San picked up a shoulder-baring dress and a pair of jeans and examined them with a flashlight. He could confirm that they were women's clothes and the owner had a great figure. Ah San immediately said, "They belonged to the invisible girl!"
The three of them were both happy and afraid. They were happy that they had probably come to the right place, but when they thought that the invisible man who appeared and disappeared mysteriously might be lurking in the dark, their hair stood on end.
Li Changgui whispered, "Watch out!"
After searching the house for a long time without any results , Asan went out first and searched the next room. After he and Li Changgui went in the same way, they found signs that someone had lived there as well.
After a while of this, Zhang Nianzu regained his normal tone and said, "I think we found the right place, but this is where they stayed before today. After making such a big mess during the day, Du Heng had expected that they would be exposed here."
Before he could finish his words, as if someone was deliberately trying to oppose him, the main light in the house was turned on.
The three of them were very surprised, and they rushed to the door of the main house together tacitly. Through the glass, they saw a man in work clothes standing by the wall with his back to them. At this moment, he was carefully knocking on the wall tiles one by one with the handle of a screwdriver. Every time he knocked on a small area, he would listen attentively and then continue to knock on the next brick.
The door of the main room had been opened by the visitor. Zhang Nianzu walked into the room lightly, and Li Changgui and Asan followed him in. The three of them stood about ten steps behind the man in work clothes. None of them disturbed him. The man in work clothes had no idea that someone had come in, and was still knocking on the wall with a screwdriver very seriously.
Judging from his back, the man in work clothes was definitely not a member of Du Heng's gang. However, he was dressed like this in the middle of the night and his behavior was strange. None of Zhang Nianzu and the others could guess his purpose.
Ah San whispered, "Could it be that the roof is hot?" His family also lived in a bungalow, and it often leaked during this season, so he could only think so.
Li Changgui glared at him and said, "Is the roof of your house growing on the wall?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "He looks like an electrician from his attire. Could he be a circuit breaker?" After he said that, he felt something was not right. Even if you were an electrician couldn't tell if there was a fault inside by knocking on the wall.
Ah San curled his lips and said, "Are you crazy?"
The workman was so absorbed in his work that he didn't even notice someone was commenting on him. Zhang Nianzu couldn't help but raise his voice and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"
"I'm looking for..." The man in work clothes said two words along the way, turned around in shock, threw away the screwdriver in his hand, and sat on the ground with weak legs. He trembled and said, "When did you come in?"
Ah San asked, "What do you do? Do you know Du Heng?"
The man in overalls had a twinkling look in his eyes and stammered, "Du Heng? Let me think about it..."
Zhang Nianzu immediately understood what was going on when he saw his expression, and said with a smile, "I see, you're here to take advantage of me." He had seen all kinds of people repairing cars on Changsheng Street. The guy who was sneaking around in someone else's house at this hour was most likely a thief who broke into the house. The reason he hesitated was probably because he was thinking about how to answer Ah San's questions in order to get away with it.
Unexpectedly, the man in work clothes suddenly became confident after hearing what Zhang Nianzu said. He got up from the ground and said, "So I met someone in the same industry."
Zhang Nianzu was surprised and asked, "Why do you say that?"
The man in overalls said calmly, "If you were the owner of the house or his friends, you would have been yelling for your life long ago. You came in for a long time without making a sound or turning on the lights, which shows that you are here to make money just like me."
Ah San said angrily: "We——"
Zhang Nianzu held him down and said to the man in overalls with interest, "Even if it's true, how long have you been eyeing this store?"
The man in overalls said, "It's been a week, and I finally got the chance today."
Zhang Nianzu asked: "Why choose today to start?"
The man in overalls looked at him as if he were an alien and said, "If no one collects the milk outside all day, doesn't that mean that no one is home?"
Zhang Nianzu and the others looked at each other in surprise. It turned out that Du Heng and the others really did not come back today.
The work clothes man waved his hand impatiently and said, "Stop talking nonsense. We don't interfere with each other. I haven't had time to search those rooms yet. They belong to you. This wall is mine. I'll make it clear. I'll fight anyone who tries to steal it from me."
Zhang Nianzu and the others stood there, not knowing what to say.
The man in work clothes ignored them and picked up the screwdriver and continued to hit the wall tiles with the handle.
The three people at the door couldn't stop them nor go out, so they just stood there and watched.
The cabinets and drawers in this room were all intact. It was obvious that the man in work clothes went straight to that wall as soon as he entered the room. Zhang Nianzu and the others were so distracted that they completely forgot about Du Heng. A million questions swirled in their minds - what on earth was this man looking for?
The man in work clothes had knocked on half of the wall. Seeing that the three people didn't move, he turned around, held the screwdriver and said in a bad tone: "You want to intercept? Whoever comes forward half a step, I'll stab him!"
Zhang Nianzu waved his hands vigorously and said, "No, we are new to the industry, so we just want to ask what you are looking for, brother?"
The work clothes man couldn't help but be a little arrogant when he heard him say that: "Newcomer, you want to learn some skills?"
Zhang Nianzu lowered his hands and said obediently: "I want to learn."
The man in overalls continued working, and said smugly, "I'm in a good mood today, so I'll teach you a lesson - have you ever looked through the garbage thrown away by this family?"
Zhang Nianzu knew that he couldn't talk about it anymore, so he quickly said, "Turn it over, there's nothing."
The work clothes man spat and said, "You haven't learned from your master, have you? Newcomers nowadays are so impetuous. They want to get into our business when they need money. You don't have any inheritance!"
Ah San was so angry that his teeth were itching. He wanted to take action directly, but was stopped by Zhang Nianzu.
The man in work clothes ridiculed the strange state of the industry and then said, "Didn't you notice that they throw broken bricks out every day?"
Zhang Nianzu said, "Broken bricks? Many people have thrown them away."
The man in overalls glared and said, "Bullshit! Rich people don't hire bricklayers and throw broken bricks out every day. Don't you think about why?"
Zhang Nianzu sincerely wondered, "Why?"
"That means they dug a place in the wall to put the safe!" The man in work clothes knocked his screwdriver on the wall with a hollow sound. He excitedly tapped the spot and said, "There it is!"
