Chapter 353 Looking for clues!

Yu Youliang led Jia Dongming to the door of the east wing of the middle courtyard and introduced him, "Deputy Captain Jia! This is Liu Ergou's home."

As Yu Youliang spoke, he pushed open the half-closed wooden door and led Jia Dongming into the house.

Jia Dongming walked into Liu Ergou's house and immediately used his Eagle Eye skill to scan Liu Ergou's house.

Soon Jia Dongming found a compartment in the cabinet in the main room, in which were hidden two rolls of silver dollars and five small yellow croakers.

After checking the main room, Jia Dongming turned his attention to the inner room. As a result, he found another secret compartment under the bed in the inner room. In the secret compartment was a statue of an evil Buddha, a notebook, some money and bills.

After discovering these things, Jia Dongming said to Yu Youliang, "Director Yu! Let's search and see if we can find some valuable clues from Liu Ergou's house."

When Yu Youliang heard Jia Dongming's instructions, he immediately followed Jia Dongming to search Liu Ergou's house.

"Director Yu! Come here quickly, there seems to be a secret compartment under the bed." Jia Dongming squatted down, took a look at the floor under the bed, reached out and knocked here and there, until he knocked on the top of the secret compartment, then immediately shouted to Yu Youliang.

When Yu Youliang heard Jia Dongming's shout, he quickly walked to Jia Dongming's side and squatted down. He saw Jia Dongming lifting the floor tiles, and quickly crawled under the bed to help Jia Dongming lift a wooden box out of the secret compartment.

After putting the wooden box on the table, Jia Dongming immediately opened it. An evil Buddha statue first caught their eyes. When Yu Youliang saw the evil Buddha statue, he was shocked and said in disbelief, "I never thought that Liu Ergou was a member of the evil Buddha criminal group."

Jia Dongming saw the evil Buddha in the box, and his eyes finally fixed on the notebook placed under the evil Buddha.

Jia Dongming took the evil Buddha out of the box, and then immediately picked up the notebook under the evil Buddha. Then he reached out and opened the notebook. When he saw the contents recorded in the notebook, he found that it was related to the evil Buddha criminal group. Jia Dongming's face immediately revealed an ecstatic expression.

According to the contents recorded in the notebook, the evil Buddhist criminal group abducted those children in order to take their blood, and then use the children's blood to open a treasure house left by the ancestors of the evil Buddhist criminal group and obtain the treasures in the treasure house, including the elixir of immortality that can make people immortal.

Jia Dongming carefully read the contents of the notebook and finally understood the real reason why these people abducted those children. At the same time, he also realized that the mastermind behind the scenes might have collected the blood of those children, so he threw Zhang Guixiang and others out as scapegoats.

At this moment, Jia Dongming finally understood the whole story of the case. The only regret was that the notebook did not record the identity of the real murderer behind the scenes, nor the specific location of the treasure.

Jia Dongming put the notebook away, and then took out the things in the box one by one. After making sure that there was nothing else valuable in the box, he put everything back into the box and said to Yu Youliang, "Director Yu! Let's keep looking to see if there are any other valuable clues."

"Deputy Captain! We have just asked the residents in the courtyard. Liu Ergou seldom brings people back on weekdays, but he has a good relationship with a man named Sun Xiaoman." Zhao Gang found the residents in the courtyard and after learning about Liu Ergou's situation, he quickly walked into Liu Ergou's home and gave Jia Dongming a detailed report of what he had just learned.

When Jia Dongming heard Zhao Gang's report, he immediately asked Zhao Gang, "Zhao Gang! Have you found out about Sun Xiaoman's situation?"

When Zhao Gang heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately reported to him: "Deputy Captain! I have arranged for Xiao Liu and Dai Rui to go find Sun Xiaoman together."

After hearing Zhao Gang's report, Jia Dongming pointed to the wooden box on the table and introduced to Zhao Gang in a serious tone: "Zhao Gang! There is a notebook in this wooden box, which records the reasons why the evil Buddhist criminal group kidnapped children. It's a pity that the notebook does not record the name of the real culprit behind the scenes, nor the specific location of the treasure." After hearing what Jia Dongming introduced, Zhao Gang immediately opened the box, took out the notebook from it, and immediately began to read the contents of the notebook carefully.

"Deputy captain! Deputy team leader! We have brought Sun Xiaoman here." Everyone searched Liu Ergou's house carefully. Jia Dongming took the opportunity to put the things in the mezzanine of the cabinet into the space. After making sure that there were no more valuable clues in the house, he prepared to return to the police station. But at this moment, Dai Rui led a middle-aged man into Liu Ergou's house from outside.

After hearing Dai Rui's report, Jia Dongming looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and asked him seriously, "Sun Xiaoman, right? I heard that you often drink with Liu Ergou. Is this true?"

When Sun Xiaoman heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately nodded and replied, "Comrade Public Security! I did drink with Ergou, but not very often. Comrade Public Security! Did Ergou commit any crime?"

After hearing Sun Xiaoman's answer and seeing the other party's timid expression, Jia Dongming replied seriously: "Liu Ergou is dead, and he was killed by someone. You are often with Liu Ergou, so do you know who Liu Ergou usually interacts with?"

When Sun Xiaoman learned that Liu Ergou had been killed, he was horrified and asked Jia Dongming in disbelief: "Comrade Public Security! What did you say? Liu Ergou was killed. How is this possible?"

When Jia Dongming heard Sun Xiaoman's question and saw the horrified expression on his face, he nodded very confidently and replied, "This is absolutely true. You often drink with Liu Ergou. Who does Liu Ergou know? Or has he ever said anything strange in front of you?"

Sun Xiaoman heard Jia Dongming's question and confirmed that Liu Ergou was really killed. He answered in disbelief, "When Liu Ergou and I were drinking together some time ago, he told me that he was doing something with his eldest brother. Once this thing was done, he would be able to rise to prominence from then on. How could he be killed out of nowhere?"

When Jia Dongming heard Sun Xiaoman mention his elder brother, he immediately asked Sun Xiaoman, "Sun Xiaoman! You just mentioned Liu Ergou's elder brother. Is he his biological brother Liu Dagou?"

When Sun Xiaoman heard Jia Dongming's question, he subconsciously shook his head and answered, "It's not Liu Dagou, it's a big brother that Liu Ergou knows in the black market. However, Liu Ergou didn't tell me the name of this big brother, but he just said that his big brother is very powerful."

After hearing what Sun Xiaoman said, Jia Dongming immediately asked Sun Xiaoman, "Sun Xiaoman! Did Liu Ergou tell you what he and his elder brother were doing?"

When Sun Xiaoman heard Jia Dongming asking about what Liu Ergou had done, he showed a lingering fear on his face and answered, "Comrade Public Security! Liu Ergou didn't tell me what he was doing. At that time, I asked him to take me with him, but Liu Ergou said he didn't agree. Fortunately, he didn't agree, otherwise I might have been killed like him."

After hearing Sun Xiaoman's answer and seeing the other party's relieved expression, Jia Dongming said to Sun Xiaoman: "Sun Xiaoman! Think about it carefully. Besides drinking with you, who else does Liu Ergou usually interact with?"

After hearing Jia Dongming's question, Sun Xiaoman thought carefully for a while before introducing him to Jia Dongming: "Public Security Comrade! Liu Ergou has no friends because he has been in labor reform, but I know he has a lover in Yanzhi Hutong. I think her name is Cui. Oh, her name is Xiao Cui! I guess Xiao Cui should know what Liu Ergou does on a daily basis."

After hearing what Sun Xiaoman said, Jia Dongming smiled and said to Sun Xiaoman: "Sun Xiaoman! Thank you for cooperating with our work! You can go back first. If there is anything else we need your cooperation with, we will come back to you then."

Sun Xiaoman felt flattered when he heard Jia Dongming's thanks, and quickly replied: "Comrade Public Security! This is what we should do, and Liu Ergou and I are friends. I hope you can find the murderer and avenge Liu Ergou!"

After Sun Xiaoman left, Jia Dongming immediately ordered Zhao Gang, "Zhao Gang! Take someone to Yanzhi Hutong and bring Xiao Cui, whom Sun Xiaoman just mentioned, back to the police station."
