Chapter 41 Gloomy
"They were the two brothers outside the market just now. They would stop anyone who came in and ask if they wanted their things. One of them had a yellow shoulder bag on his back."

"Oh oh oh, I remember now, um na, you asked me, what's the matter?"

"The things in those two guys' hands are not clean. I heard that the two brothers got into a lot of trouble because of those goods. You didn't buy them just now, right?"

"No, why would I need that stuff? It's nothing to eat or drink." Li Yancheng shook his head, and then asked curiously, "How can those three or four things be a big deal?"

Indeed, the man’s yellow shoulder bag just now only contained those few things, and if they were all sold, they would only be worth a hundred or two hundred yuan, which is nothing.

"Three or four items? Haha, you underestimated them. Those two guys are so bold, and I don't know where they got them. I heard from others that if they sold all the goods, they could get at least four or five thousand yuan. Of course, I don't know whether this is true or not."

"Boom thump... thump thump..."

The speaker may not have meant it, but the listener took it to heart. Li Yancheng's little heart beat violently a few times.

He immediately thought of the case that Jin Zhihai and his team were investigating.

There is no smoke without fire. If there is any news, even if the goods in the hands of those two guys are not worth four or five thousand, they must be worth one or two thousand.

If all the items were like those in the satchel, then they must have been stolen. But if those things were stolen from each house one by one, regardless of whether they could be stolen or not, the fact that things were stolen from so many houses would have probably caused a sensation in the city.

If they were not stolen from one house at a time, but were stolen from one place at once, then where would those things be?
It is said that the four people who were killed had embezzled a lot of the property they had looted. With their death, the property also disappeared. Could it be that...

After separating from Xiao Yuan, Li Yancheng walked towards the hospital while thinking a lot in his head.

He is not interested in catching any thief or solving any case, but this clue can be provided to his good brother Jin Zhihai.

That guy is in the task force now. If the clues to the case are found by him, it will definitely be a great achievement after the case is solved. He will be rewarded for his meritorious service, and get a promotion and a raise. Helping his good brother will allow him to climb higher, as it is nice to enjoy the shade under a big tree.

As he was thinking this, he saw the lights at the hospital gate. Then he realized that the food and oil bottle he had just exchanged were still in his hands.

He looked around and saw that the streets were empty at around three in the morning. He walked to a shadowy place, put all the things in his hands into the warehouse, stood there for a while, and then walked leisurely towards the hospital.

It is better to be safe than sorry. He does not want to be caught and used for slice experiment.

The hospital was as quiet as usual, so quiet that it was even a little scary.

It was not until he walked into the clinic, closed the door, and felt the heat coming from the stove in the room that Li Yancheng, who was leaning against the door, breathed a sigh of relief.

He took off his cotton hat, coat, and mask, picked up the thermos and poured himself a glass of water. After a sip of hot water, he felt much more comfortable.

It’s not that he is timid, but...how should I put it, he was also a staunch materialist and atheist in his previous life.

But now, his soul can travel here, and no matter who says that there are ghosts and gods in this world, he will believe it without a doubt.

Plus, the hospital was a bit eerie at night, so it was no wonder that a grown man like him would feel a little creepy.

Sitting by the stove and taking another sip of hot water, Li Yancheng shook his head with some amusement. He was a middle-aged man in his twenties, a cadre who had retired from the army, and a member of an organization. He actually felt scared just now. Hey... It was really extraordinary.

He felt that he might be the first timer to be afraid of the gloomy environment.

It's really embarrassing for the time traveler. He sat there and sorted out his mood. After drinking a cup of hot water, the tingling feeling in his heart just now completely disappeared. He stood up, took off the coat hanging behind the door, put it on, and walked out of the clinic.

I have to go to the bathroom. When I came back just now, I was so nervous that I even forgot to go to the bathroom.

This time when he walked out, he no longer had that gloomy feeling. He went to the toilet in the corner of the front yard to fill a bubble of water, then slowly walked to the door of the clinic, stood there and lit a cigarette for himself. Compared with the bear look just now, he became much calmer.

At this moment, he was no longer thinking about anything gloomy or ghostly, but his mind turned to the two Zhu brothers that Xiao Yuan had just told him about.

He had no idea what the two brothers did, but from what Xiao Yuan said, they should be the type of thieves who swindle others. They must have made a lot of money this time, but it was easy to imagine that getting so many things in this era might not be a good thing.

That's why some people say that they are in trouble. Of course, it is very likely that those who say this are jealous.

But the fact is that they do have an extra batch of goods.

Never mind. I’ll tell Zhihai when I get back and ask him to check it out. What if he finds anything?

……

The next day was already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month. After having breakfast in the cafeteria and waiting to finish giving Luo Yang an injection, Li Yancheng said hello to Lao Zhou and reminded him to remember he was on duty tonight, then he got on his bicycle and rode home.

Having not slept for a whole night, he was still full of energy, pedaling like a Hot Wheels. Even if he rode as fast as he could, he still took a shortcut. It was a distance of nearly ten kilometers, but by the time he reached the entrance of the alley, it had already taken more than forty minutes.

After turning into the alley, he greeted the familiar neighbors, and everyone looked at him with a strange look.

He knew why this happened. It was because of the sign that Luo Yang had someone hang up.

When they arrived at the gate of their courtyard, the strange look in other people's eyes shifted to his face.

There were two carts parked at the gate of their No. 20 yard, with furniture on them.

This is... the street office forcibly borrowed the Cai family’s house?
"Dacheng, did you just get back from the night shift?"

One of the two bosses knew Li Yancheng, and when he saw him coming back, he greeted him enthusiastically.

"Yes, Brother Zhao, who are you moving for?"

"Do you know Fan Chunmei from Courtyard 31? She has moved to the east wing of your courtyard."

"Fan Chunmei?" This name was unfamiliar to Li Yancheng. He frowned, thought for a while, shook his head and said, "There is such a person in Yard No. 31? I have no impression of him at all."

"Oh, I remember now." Mr. Zhao slapped his forehead.

"You were still in the army when she married Mo Yalin. No wonder you didn't know her."

Speaking of this person, Li Yancheng knows him. He is about the same age as him, but he only knows him and is not familiar with him. He knows more about his father, Lao Mo.
