The box was opened, and a sheepskin booklet and two scrolls appeared inside!
"My dear! I won the prize!"
The fat man first exclaimed.
Brother Guishou looked at the opened box with a smile on his face and closed his eyes with relief...
Do not misunderstand!
He was too tired and just rested for a while. After falling down, he snored.
"Senior brother is too tired. He hasn't slept in the past two days, hasn't eaten anything, only drank water... Don't look at those two clicks, those two dots, he has been looking for them for a long time, and he has basically spent all he has learned! "
"I'm mainly here to help my senior brother and help him guard the gate. It's the most unwelcome thing to be disturbed." Shopkeeper Luo said softly.
"Lao Luo, you brothers are so honest in what you do. You opened the box in front of us, not bad!" Ma Xiaoguang praised shopkeeper Luo Luo with a smile.
"Sir, you've given me the reward. This is just a rule of the rivers and lakes..."
"Brothers, please understand and have a good rest. I will follow the rules for the rest, don't worry!"
Chief Ma said with a smile.
After that, he asked Fatty and Shopkeeper Luo to carry Brother Guishou to the bed so that he could have a good rest.
He and the fat man took the opened box and badge and left first.
"There's nothing wrong with the stuff. These two scrolls should be the first and second scrolls!"
Back in the car, Ma Xiaoguang said to the fat man with relief.
"Did you really win the lottery this time?" The fat man also asked curiously.
"That's right. This booklet should be an important thing for them... Why do these things look like a code book?"
"By the way, you didn't throw away the book and paper you found at Rabbi Bai Sitan's house, did you?"
Ma Xiaoguang suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the fat man.
"Don't worry, I'm hiding somewhere no one else would think of."
The fat man winked and said with a smile.
After that, the fat man turned the car around and drove towards Zhabei.
Not long after, the car arrived at Chengxingli.
"Isn't this your home? Didn't the old lady move?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked with some confusion.
"It was only after the old lady moved away that I dared to hide things in my house. I quietly paid the rent for this place for a year. You are the one who taught me how to hide things."
The fat man said with a sly smile.
The two entered the Shikumen house talking and laughing.
Everything here is still the same, except that the floors and furniture are a little dusty - no one has lived there for a long time.
The fat man looked around the room, turned to Ma Xiaoguang and smiled: "Old man, can you guess where the things will be hidden?"
Ma Xiaoguang also became interested when he heard this. He had nothing else to do now, so he looked for it himself and treated it as a special training.
The fat man let Ma Xiaoguang move around freely while he found some water and a rag to clean the living room. Otherwise, there would not even be a place to sit.
Ma Xiaoguang started from the living room, the kitchen and the kitchen, the stairwell, the bedroom... and explored them one by one.
Fatty's income has increased a lot since he started a promising career as an agent. It's no problem to buy this Shikumen house.
But he still listened to Chief Ma's words. The house in Shanghai was only for rent and not for sale. Instead, he gave a sum of money to his brother in Yudu and bought a small courtyard for the old lady...
Therefore, in order to prepare for emergencies, the fat man did not spend as much money as Chief Ma did to buy this house, but he rented it and paid the rent for a year.
After more than an hour, Fatty finally cleaned the living room, making it spotless.
Ma Xiaoguang went from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the attic. He even missed the attic dormer window, but found nothing.
Then, Ma Xiaoguang checked the windows and doors one by one, touching here and looking there, but still found nothing.
"Damn fat man, where did you hide your things?"
Ma Xiaoguang was a little exhausted. He sat down on a chair in the living room, lit up a Hardman, and asked the fat man while smoking.
"You haven't found your old man yet?" the fat man asked with a rather proud smile.
"I'm not Sun Wukong, I can go to heaven and earth!" Ma Xiaoguang spat angrily.
"Haha, have you seen Zao Pijian?" the fat man asked with a playful smile.
"I've seen it all. Master Yang, Fatty, please reveal the answer!"
Commander Ma was completely convinced now and kept saying.
"The time has come to witness the miracle. Come on, follow me."
The fat man pulled Ma Xiaoguang and went straight to the kitchen stove.
"Have you seen everything here?" the fat man asked.
"I've seen it all, even under the stove and in the water tank, there's nothing there!"
"That's right!" Fatty laughed.
As he spoke, he came to the water tank and opened the lid. There was still half a tank of water inside. It seemed that a lot of water had evaporated.
"Come, help me." The fat man said to Commander Ma.
The two of them worked together to empty out the water in the water tank, and then the fat man turned the water tank upside down.
There is a layer of dry clay on the bottom of the water tank.
"I understand, this is really a good idea, wonderful!"
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and couldn't help but praise sincerely.
The fat man took out his pocket knife and pried open the mud seal at the bottom of the water tank, revealing a circle at the bottom of the water tank.
"Actually, the safest way is to directly bake them, but these treasures are flammable, so we don't dare to do this!"
"You can only bake the double-layer water tank, dig a hole underneath, hide the things inside, then glue it on and cover it with clay, so that it will be impervious to water and fire!"
The fat man said with a wicked smile.
"I am your boy, he is a genius!"
As Ma Xiaoguang spoke, he took out the things from the bottom of the water tank.
After taking out the things, Ma Xiaoguang continued to praise: "But your method is good. You can restore the water tank. This method is good and can be used in the future!"
He took the parchment scroll and the yellowed paper and tried to translate and combine them word for word against the parchment book in the box.
However, it is a pity that no useful information has been formed after turning it over and over.
Although I roughly know that those numbers are accounts or related information, who does the head of the household correspond to? Which bank did you open the account with? What's the password? Do I need other proof for withdrawal?
There is no accurate information corresponding to these. This cannot be just based on vagueness or speculation. It must be accurate, otherwise it will be difficult to fix if something goes wrong, and the account may be permanently frozen.
Also, these numbers are just guesses, what if it’s not a bank account? There is also the possibility of other accounts.
"Okay, this has been a big step forward. Who told us that Bai Sitan was killed because of our carelessness in the first place? This may be God's will, things are slowly being understood!"
The fat man saw Chief Ma frowning and quickly comforted him.
"You're right, you can't be greedy for more, you have to eat one meal at a time, and you have to do things one by one. Finally, we have taken a step forward now."
Chief Ma nodded, agreed with the fat man's statement, and packed the things together properly, preparing to consider solving the puzzle when he had the opportunity in the future.
After making up his mind, he and Fatty cleaned Chengxingli again, put everything in order, and checked it carefully before leaving with peace of mind.
"I'm telling you, Fatty, isn't it a waste to leave this house empty like this? Besides, if someone with an intention checks it, it could easily be exposed."
On the way back to Siming Village, Ma Xiaoguang asked the fat man thoughtfully.
"Yeah, I'm thinking about this too, but if there's no suitable person to live in, it's better to leave it empty..." Fatty said frankly.
"Is there someone you think is suitable for you?" Ma Xiaoguang asked with a flash of his eyes.
"Are you talking about the family of Brother Huang who was pulling the cart?" The fat man reacted immediately.
"Yes! Their family background is clean and they are reliable. They are suitable candidates. Moreover, they have a large family, so it is much more convenient to live here." Ma Xiaoguang nodded.
"The problem is that Brother Huang is a cart puller. Living here will arouse suspicion!"
"This is a problem! But it should be easy to solve." Ma Xiaoguang said with a smile.
After the two of them figured it out, they went off and bought some things at a street grocery store. They called two rickshaws and rushed to Zhabei shanty town.
It was already past dinner time when we arrived at the shantytown. As soon as we got home, we met Huang Lichun who was about to go out to the car.
"Oops! I told you two, you can come as soon as you come. Why are you packing big and small bags? I have work to do now, and the car dealer is taking care of me. There is no shortage of things at home!"
Huang Lichun saw that both of them were empty-handed and said hurriedly.
"Haha, Brother Huang, you are out of sight now. It's not even fifteen yet, and it's still in the New Year. I'm afraid it won't be good if we come here empty-handed?"
Ma Xiaoguang took over the conversation and said jokingly.
"That's right, these two little devils are very good, this is for them!"
The fat man also said quickly.
As they talked, the two entered the house. The two children were naturally overjoyed when they saw it.
After sitting down to drink water and talk, the two children took the candy and went out to play obediently. Ma Xiaoguang directly explained the purpose of their visit without going around the bush.
"Oh, this can't be done! Absolutely not!"
Unexpectedly, when Huang Lichun heard this, he shook his head like a rattle and refused to agree.
"I said Brother Huang, our brothers, don't exist!"
The fat man saw this and quickly advised him.
"You two have nothing to say to our family. This matter is originally a good thing. If it were to happen to ordinary people, I would not refuse."
"But have you ever thought about whether I, a cart driver, can afford to live in such a nice house? Doesn't this arouse suspicion?"
Huang Lichun said to Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty solemnly.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang and Fatty both nodded approvingly. Finally, Ma Xiaoguang said: "We have already taken care of this matter. I am going to let Xiaoxue take a job at Tianma Yangxing Company. As for taking the position slowly, this naturally has to follow the rules of the foreign company... …”
Huang Lichun was stunned when he heard this, but did not answer for a while.
"Brother Huang, don't worry, Boss Ma has absolutely no other intentions..."
Seeing Huang Lichun standing there, the fat man quickly explained out loud for fear that he might misunderstand.
"No, no, I definitely trust you two, but I have to ask Xiaoxue about this. She has been attending workers' night school for a year, and recently worked in a newspaper office!"
Huang Lichun quickly explained to the two of them.
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang said: "This is better. I went to night school to learn Chinese and Chinese characters. When Miss Xiaoxue comes back later, we can ask her opinion!"
Just as they were talking, they saw a woman hurriedly burst into the door and said to Huang Lichun anxiously: "Brother Huang, it's bad! Sister Xiaoxue has been kidnapped!"
