Chapter 313 The secret of the courtyard!

Seeing Zheng Qigong walking out of the small courtyard and walking towards his residence under the cover of night, a sharp look flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes and he whispered to Xiao Li beside him: "Xiao Li!

Tomorrow morning you go to the street office in this area and find out whose house this small courtyard belongs to?"

When Xiao Li heard the middle-aged man's instructions, he immediately nodded and replied: "Yes! Master! When I get to work tomorrow morning, I will go to the nearby streets to check."

At around nine o'clock the next morning, at the Qianmen Subdistrict Office, a young man led two police officers into an office and politely reported to the middle-aged people in the office: "Director! The two comrades here are ours."

From the city bureau, they want to find out some information from you."

After the young man was introduced here, he turned to the two police officers and introduced: "Comrade Xiao Bin! Comrade Li Ming! This is Director Huang from the street office in front of us!"

When the middle-aged man heard the young man's introduction, he immediately stood up from his desk and greeted the two of them enthusiastically: "Two comrades! What do you want to know?"

Xiao Bin heard Director Huang's words and asked politely: "Director Huang! The main reason we came here this time is to ask you who is the head of the household at No. 37 Maoer Hutong, Qianmen Street, and who lives there.

Who is he?"

Director Huang heard Xiao Bin's inquiry, recalled it carefully for a while, and asked Xiao Bin curiously: "Comrade Xiao Bin! Why did you suddenly ask about that small courtyard?"

Xiao Bin heard Director Huang's inquiry and introduced with a smile: "Director Huang! We are investigating a case related to that small courtyard, so we asked you to find out the situation."

Director Huang heard Xiao Bin's words and replied with a puzzled look on his face: "Comrade Xiao Bin! The outside of the small courtyard looks relatively complete, but the house inside collapsed many years ago. In addition, the small courtyard

Someone died once, so that small courtyard has been empty until now."

Li Ming heard the situation introduced by Director Huang and confirmed to Director Huang with a surprised look on his face: "Director Huang! Are you sure there is no one living in that small courtyard?"

When Director Huang heard Li Ming's inquiry, he nodded with certainty and replied: "Comrade! Can I joke with you about this kind of thing?"

When they were monitoring Zheng Qigong last night, they saw him entering that small courtyard and staying there for more than half an hour. Now that they learned that it was an abandoned courtyard, Li Ming was very shocked.

Thinking of the time Zheng Qigong spent in the small courtyard, Li Ming vaguely felt that there was something wrong with the small courtyard, and quickly asked Director Huang: "Director Huang! You just said that someone died in that small courtyard, and then

No one lives here anymore, what’s going on?”

When Director Huang heard Li Ming ask why no one lived in that small courtyard, he immediately introduced him: "Comrade Li Ming! The situation is like this. More than ten years ago, a murder occurred in that small courtyard.

A dozen members of a family in this courtyard were wiped out overnight."

"Ever since that murder happened, no one dared to live in that small courtyard. Later, after our subdistrict office was established, we arranged for two families to move into that small courtyard. As a result, not long after they moved in, they

He said that the courtyard was haunted, and then he found some connections and moved out of that small courtyard."

"Since then, several families have moved in one after another. Those families have not lived there for long, and they also moved out of that small courtyard with the same excuse. We asked comrades from the police station to go to that small courtyard to conduct an investigation, but they did not

If any problems were found, rumors related to the small courtyard would spread nearby. Eventually, due to disrepair, the houses in the small courtyard collapsed one after another, and eventually the small courtyard was completely abandoned.

"

When Li Ming heard the situation introduced by Director Huang, he immediately realized that there must be a big secret hidden in that small courtyard. As for the residents of the small courtyard being occupied and the so-called haunting later, they should all be related to this.

It has to do with the secrets hidden in the courtyard.

Realizing this and thinking of Zheng Qigong's actions last night, Li Ming quickly asked Director Huang: "Director Huang! I wonder if you are free now, can you take us to that small courtyard?"

Director Huang heard Li Ming's request and quickly replied with a smile: "Comrade Li Ming! It is our duty to cooperate with your work. I will accompany you two now."

Li Ming heard Director Huang's answer. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, Li Ming did not forget to tell Director Huang: "Director Huang! After the meeting is over, if someone asks why we went to that small courtyard, just say because of the house.

Due to the nervousness, the superiors are preparing to repair the small courtyard, and Lao Xiao and I are the staff sent by the superiors to be responsible for the house repairs."

Director Huang heard Li Ming's reminder and immediately replied: "Comrade Li Ming! Don't worry, I know how to answer."

Twenty minutes later, Li Ming and others arrived at the abandoned courtyard with Director Huang.

Li Ming walked into the small courtyard and looked at the messy scene. He immediately began to look around, trying to find some clues.

Soon Li Ming discovered the footprints left on the ground, and then followed the footprints towards a half-collapsed house.

Li Ming walked into the house, looked at the empty room in front of him, followed the footprints on the ground, and finally placed an order on the fire pit in the house.

Li Ming looked at the dusty fire pit in front of him and immediately shouted to his companion: "Xiao Bin! Come over and take a look."

Xiao Bin, who was looking around in the courtyard, heard Li Ming's shout and immediately walked into the room quickly and asked Li Ming curiously: "Li Ming! Did you find anything?"

Li Ming heard Xiao Bin's words, pointed to a few bricks on the fire pit, and asked Xiao Bin: "Xiao Bin! Look at these bricks, are they any different from other bricks?"

Xiao Bin heard Li Ming's words and looked at the bricks Li Ming pointed at. He immediately discovered that the dust on these bricks was much less than other bricks, which meant that someone had touched these bricks.

This discovery made the two of them feel as if they had discovered a huge secret, and they immediately began to examine the fire pit in front of them, trying to find out the secret hidden in the fire pit.

"Director Huang! Why are you free to come here today? What are you doing?" Just as the two were about to find out the secret in the fire pit, a middle-aged man suddenly asked with a smile outside.

Director Huang heard the middle-aged man's inquiry and introduced with a smile: "Isn't this Master Zhao? Because the housing in our street is getting more and more tense, the higher-ups are planning to renovate this small courtyard and then arrange for people to live in it.

Come in, I will bring the comrades from above to see how to repair this small courtyard."

When Master Zhao heard what Director Huang said, an unexpected look flashed in his eyes, and he pretended to be curious and asked Director Huang: "Director Huang! Although the superiors have clearly stated that they want to combat superstition, the legends related to this small courtyard are still unknown to us.

This area is not a secret, will anyone dare to move here then?"
