Chapter 177: Meeting Yu Li by chance!

Jia Dongming did not tell the people in the subdistrict office that the yard next to Ye Quanwang was Ye Quanwang's home. Instead, he asked the two people, "Director Zhang! Who does Ye Quanwang hang out with most often? Does he have any relatives?"

When Zhang Shengli heard Jia Dongming asking about Ye Quanwang's interpersonal relationships, he recalled for a while before introducing him to Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Jia! Ye Quanwang works in a blacksmith shop in the east of the city. On weekdays, he often drinks with Xiao Quan, the security guard of our street office and scrap collection station. In addition, he has a sister who married in Tianjin. I need to go back and check where exactly she is."

After hearing what Zhang Shengli had said, Jia Dongming immediately asked Zhang Shengli, "Director Zhang! Can you tell me more about Xiao Quan, the guard at the scrap recycling station you just mentioned?"

When Zhang Shengli heard Jia Dongming asking about Xiao Quan's situation, he immediately introduced him to Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Jia! This Xiao Quan is 54 years old this year. He is an old resident of Zhima Hutong. When Xiao Rizi occupied Sijiu City, his wife and children were all killed by Xiao Rizi. Later, when the street office established a scrap collection station, he was assigned to guard the gate of the scrap collection station."

After hearing what Zhang Shengli said, Jia Dongming thought of Ye Quanwang's situation and replied with a smile, "Ye Quanwang is also single, and Xiao Quan is also single. It seems that Xiao Quan must have a problem as well."

Jia Dongming said this and immediately asked Zhang Shengli, "Director Zhang! Does Xiao Quan usually live at the scrap collection station? Or does he live at home? What's his house number?"

When Zhang Shengli heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately introduced him to Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Jia! Because the scrap collection station needs someone to guard the night, Xiao Quan usually lives in the scrap collection station. As for Xiao Quan's home, it is in the yard of No. 107 Zhima Hutong, which is a small courtyard with one entrance."

After Jia Dongming learned the exact location of Xiao Quan's family, he smiled and said to Zhang Shengli: "Director Zhang! I will go to Xiao Quan's family later. As for what I just told you, please keep it confidential."

Zhang Shengli heard Jia Dongming's reminder and immediately assured Jia Dongming: "Deputy Captain Jia! Don't worry, we promise not to tell anyone."

After Zhang Shengli and Wang Xiuzhi left, Jia Dongming turned on the Eagle Eye skill system again and found that Ye Quanwang had left the secret room and was sitting alone in the room drinking a wine glass.

When Jia Dongming saw this scene, he decided to give up the idea of ​​continuing to monitor Zhang Shengli, and then rode his bicycle towards the scrap collection station.

"Comrade! Our scrap collection station has already closed. Do you have anything to do?" Jia Dongming rode his bicycle and quickly arrived at the scrap collection station. At this time, Xiao Quan, who was sitting in the guard room, stuck his head out of the window of the guard room and shouted to Jia Dongming who was about to enter the guard room.

When Jia Dongming heard Xiao Quan's shout, he vaguely guessed that the old man in front of him was Xiao Quan, whom Zhang Shengli had introduced. He then parked his bicycle, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, handed one to the other party, and then introduced him with a smile: "Uncle! I want to see if you have any old books for sale?"

Xiao Quan saw the cigarette that Jia Dongming handed over, reached out to take it, and replied, "Young man! You are a step too late. If you had come the day before yesterday, you might have been able to find the books you wanted. Just yesterday, all the old books and waste newspapers in our waste collection station were taken away by the main station with a large truck."

After hearing what Xiao Quan said, Jia Dongming showed a disappointed expression on his face and replied, "Sir! Isn't this too much of a coincidence?"

After hearing Jia Dongming's answer and seeing his disappointed expression, Xiao Quan smiled and suggested to Jia Dongming, "Comrade! Although we don't have it here, other scrap collection stations may have it. You can try your luck at other scrap collection stations."

When Jia Dongming heard Xiao Quan's suggestion, a happy smile immediately appeared on his face, and he replied, "Uncle! You are right. I will go to other scrap collection stations to have a look. I won't bother you anymore. Goodbye!"

As Jia Dongming said this, he rode his bicycle and left the scrap collection station.

Just now when Jia Dongming handed Xiao Quan a cigarette, he quietly observed Xiao Quan's palm. Jia Dongming found that there were calluses at the joints between the thumb and index finger of Xiao Quan's right palm. This was obviously caused by holding the gun for a long time, especially Xiao Quan's index finger, which had calluses on both sides. This means that Xiao Quan is still practicing pulling the trigger.

After leaving the scrap collection station, Jia Dongming rode his bicycle to the yard at No. 107 Zhima Hutong, and found that it was a very remote yard. When Jia Dongming saw the house number on the gate of the yard, he immediately used the Eagle Eye skill to scan the small yard in front of him.

Through the perspective function of the Eagle Eye skill, Jia Dongming found that the small courtyard in front of him was very dilapidated. Except for one house, all other houses in the yard had collapsed.

Thinking of the situation at Ye Quanwang's home, Jia Dongming immediately scanned the underground of the courtyard and found a dry well behind the courtyard. In the middle of the dry well, there was a tunnel extending towards the back of the courtyard.

After discovering the tunnel, Jia Dongming pushed his bicycle along the direction of the tunnel until he came to a deserted yard. Finally, he found a basement under the yard, which contained a large amount of daily necessities and weapons and ammunition.

This discovery made Jia Dongming 100% sure that Xiao Quan was also a member of the enemy's spy. Considering that someone had previously reported him for suspicious behavior, in order to avoid similar incidents from happening again, Jia Dongming rode his bicycle directly out of Zhima Hutong and rode towards Tongluoguxiang.

Halfway through riding the bicycle, a familiar figure appeared in Jia Dongming's sight.

When Jia Dongming rode his bike past the figure, he immediately recognized the owner of the figure as Yu Li, the daughter-in-law of Yan Bugui in the front yard.

Seeing Yu Li walking on the sidewalk with a cloth bag in her hand, Jia Dongming immediately stopped his bicycle, smiled and greeted Yu Li, "Yu Li! Where are you going?"

When Yu Li saw Jia Dongming riding a bicycle, she was surprised and greeted him politely, "Director Jia! I just came back from my mother's house and I'm going home now."

After hearing what Yu Li had said, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Yu Li! I'm also planning to go home. How about I give you a ride?"

When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming's proposal, she immediately showed an expression of interest on her face, but thinking of the difference between men and women, Yu Li could only say resolutely against her will: "Director Jia! I appreciate your kindness, but this place is not far from our Tongluoguxiang. I'd better walk back!"

When Jia Dongming heard Yu Li's answer, he knew what she was thinking. He smiled and said to her, "Yu Li! We are neighbors living in the same compound. Why do you have to be so polite to me? Come on! Sit behind me. I'll take you back on my bike."

Seeing that Jia Dongming had said so much, Yu Li did not refuse Jia Dongming's invitation. She sat on the back seat of the bicycle and thanked Jia Dongming shyly, "Director Jia! Thank you for your help."

After Jia Dongming and Yu Li were done, they rode their bicycles and took Yu Li towards Tongluoguxiang.

The bicycle rode smoothly on the road. While pedaling, Jia Dongming asked Yu Li who was sitting behind him: "Yu Li! Where do you and Jie Chengdu work?"

Yu Li, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately showed a helpless expression on her face when she heard Jia Dongming asking about her and Yan Jiecheng's salary. She introduced them to Jia Dongming: "Director Jia! Our Jiecheng works odd jobs at the grain station, and I do some odd jobs at the street office. Together, we can earn more than ten yuan a month."

After hearing what Yu Li said, Jia Dongming thought of Yan Bugui's character and asked Yu Li with a smile, "Yu Li! I heard from people in the hospital that you two have to pay for the food and accommodation expenses of the Third Uncle every month. Is this true?"

When Yu Li heard Jia Dongming asking about the Yan family's situation, she thought of her father-in-law who even divided pickles by the root. A depressed expression suddenly appeared on her face, and she introduced helplessly: "Director Jia! It is true. My husband and I have to pay six yuan for food and three yuan for accommodation every month. I settled it with the money I earn every month. After deducting these expenses, there are only a few yuan left."
