Era: A college student came to the courtyard house

Fang Yuan couldn't help but wonder if Song Qin's extreme cooperation was a cover for something else.

After all, there are neither gold bars nor ledgers here.

Fang Yuan had never let go of the account book, especially since it was something he had always kept in mind. If he could find the account book, he would most likely be able to find out who Niu Dazhuang had seen that day.

In any case, it's always better to be careful.

Fang Yuan then called Xu Yanping and the other two guards, Shen Jian and Wu Zhixiang, to his side: "Continue searching. I suspect there are other things hidden."

Xu Yanping was a veteran policeman, and looking at the determined Fang Yuan, he instantly figured out what was going on.

Shen Jian and Wu Zhixiang had no particular thoughts; they simply carried out Fang Yuan's orders without hesitation.

Fifteen minutes later.

They searched the entire area, including the kitchen on the east side, but found nothing.

Fang Yuan stood in the middle of the courtyard, just about to turn around and probe Song Qinkuai's intentions, when suddenly his gaze was drawn to a small pond in the courtyard.

"Song Qinkuai, what's this pool for?"

Fang Yuan walked over and took a look, then turned back to Song Qinkuai and asked curiously.

"Ah~ raising fish, that's my only hobby. It's really boring being home alone." Song Qin replied quickly.

Fang Yuan, however, keenly sensed something was amiss. He noticed a flicker of panic in Song Qin's eyes as he spoke, the first time he had shown such an expression since entering the courtyard.

It's obvious that Song Qinkuai is lying.

"If that's the case, why isn't there a single fish inside?" Fang Yuan stared intently at Song Qin Kuai, continuing to probe.

"I... my son came back a few days ago, yes, he came back, and he took everything with him when he left." This time, Song Qin spoke at a completely different pace than before, and she even stuttered at the beginning.

Fang Yuan ignored him and turned to call Kang Jian and Wu Zhixiang to his side, saying, "Go to the kitchen and get the utensils to clean up the water in here."

"Fang Yuan, what do you want? I admit my guilt, and you've got the money, but are you going to smash up my yard now?"

Faced with Song Qinkuai's powerless roar, Fang Yuan coldly said, "You still have the nerve to say this is your courtyard? You eat public food, live in public housing, use public resources, and now you're even embezzling public property. Do you dare say you bought this courtyard with your own money?"

After saying that, he walked towards the edge of the pool without looking back.

The more anxious Song Qinkuai became, the more it proved that there really was something at the bottom of the pool.

Fang Yuan squatted down by the pool and observed it. It was called a pool, but there wasn't much water in it, maybe only about 20 centimeters deep.

Taking the washbasin from Shen Jian, the group started scooping water out together, and in just a few minutes they had cleaned the basin spotless.

Xu Yanping squatted at the bottom of the pool and slowly tapped each part with his hand. When he tapped the middle area, the sound was clearly different from the surrounding area. He immediately exclaimed with delight, "This place is hollow. There must be something down there."

The group quickly gathered around each other.

Two large yellow croakers, three small yellow croakers, and a spoils-dividing diary emerged from the thick layers of oiled paper.

She even keeps a diary; she's definitely not a decent person.

Fang Yuan smiled as he looked at the diary he had just received.

Hard work pays off.

Song Qinkuai is indeed extremely cunning. It seems that his previous cooperation was just a cover for these things.

Based on the current gold price, one tael of gold is worth about 200 yuan, so the total is 4,600 yuan.

Adding the 2,800 yuan in cash from earlier, that's a total of over 7,000 yuan. What does that mean?

That's enough to buy a courtyard house of about 1000 square meters within the second ring road of Beijing. Its value in later generations is hard to calculate.

"Are you planning to leave these for your son? You're quite clever, playing the 'multiple burrows' trick on me."

Seeing that Fang Yuan had the gold bars he had deliberately hidden in his hands, Song Qinkuai roared in resentment, "A peach living for four years isn't considered alive, and a jujube dying for three years isn't considered dead. Just wait, you'll have your day sooner or later."

"take away!"

Having obtained everything, Fang Yuan was too lazy to waste any more words with Ya, and directly instructed Shen Jian and Wu Zhixiang to escort Song Qinkuai to the car.

"We've been fiddling around with this for so long, going through all that trouble, just for this thing?" Xu Yanping leaned close to Fang Yuan and deliberately complained.

Fang Yuan knew he wanted to see the contents of the diary.

However, Fang Yuan couldn't show it to him. He didn't know who would be involved, and if Xu Yanping saw it, wouldn't that expose his family's shameful secret?

"It must be the ledger!"

After replying to Xu Yanping in this way, Fang Yuan put the diary into a file folder.

He understood the saying that curiosity killed the cat.

What if Song Qinkuai were to produce a complete "Records of the Conduct of Officials" for the entire steel rolling mill?

Then this diary is equivalent to a time bomb.

Full of curiosity, Xu Yanping had no choice but to jump into the car with Fang Yuan.

As the driver started the car, he first took Xu Yanping back to the police station, and then went to the warehouse to pick up Luo Qingfeng and Jiang Quan. Now that they had the account book, the two of them naturally didn't need to continue staking out there.

To be honest, this arrest was quite satisfying. Song Qinkuai and the others are definitely in for a treat, which puts Fang Yuan at ease.

The worst thing about handling these kinds of cases is failing to kill the snake and instead suffering the consequences!

By the time they returned to the steel rolling mill, it was nearly eleven o'clock.

The staff on duty at the gate did not stop the vehicle when they saw it was from the factory area.

We arrived at the back of the administration building.

Fang Yuan had Luo Qingfeng lead men to escort Song Qinkuai, Liu Xiangnan, Jiang Cong, and the three workers into the interrogation room one by one.

Apart from the armory, all the other rooms in the building had been temporarily requisitioned by Sun Daxing, and Gu Weijie had already set up interrogation tables and chairs inside.

Apart from Kang Jing and two other team members who needed to be on duty, all the other personnel put their guns back in storage.

Before disbanding, Fang Yuan once again issued a gag order to them, and only allowed them to go back to rest after they had all signed confidentiality agreements.

A short while later, Sun Daxing and Zhao Wu arrived hand in hand.

Fang Yuan walked up to the two men, stood at attention, and reported to his superior: "Section Chief, according to the interrogation records, six people should have been arrested, and six people have indeed been arrested."

He then gave a brief report on the arrest and handed the file bag containing the diary to Sun Daxing.

"Thank you for your hard work." Sun Daxing shook hands with Fang Yuan after hearing this. "I'll take care of the rest. You can rest for a bit. Secretary Lin will personally convene a meeting in half an hour, and you can attend and report on the specific situation."

Fang Yuan knew this case was quite serious, but he didn't expect Lin Xianghua to hold a meeting overnight, especially since it was already past 11 p.m.
