Chapter 235 Something was dug out of the stove.
So, he continued to look at Lao Wu without changing his expression.
"You mean the kitchen? Then go take a look."
“But let me make this clear from the start: if the kitchen still doesn’t have what you’re looking for, you’ll have to give me an explanation,” Li Guofu said without changing his expression.
Xiao Feng is a little worried now.
If nothing is found in the kitchen, what should be done?
Xiao Feng looked at Lao Wu suspiciously.
Old Wu remained calm and gave Xiao Feng a reassuring look.
Xiao Feng saw a kind of confidence in Lao Wu, which reassured him somewhat.
The group then went to the kitchen.
"Your family is quite unique. You left your perfectly good stove unused and sealed it off," Old Wu said, pointing to the sealed-off stove on the side of the kitchen.
The stove was completely sealed off by bricks and cement, making it unusable.
Old Wu took a few steps forward, held the edge of the iron pot with both hands, and lifted the entire iron pot up.
It was discovered that the bottom of the iron pot was also sealed with cement.
At that time, cement was not a common material in rural areas. Unless it was for building brick and tile houses, people usually used yellow mud to bond the materials together.
Cement is only used in brick and tile houses.
It's bad enough that the stove is sealed off, but now the area under the big pot is also sealed with cement.
It's obviously problematic.
Upon seeing this, the police officers couldn't help but feel that there must indeed be something wrong here.
Even Xiao Feng, upon seeing this scene, wondered to himself if there were any cultural relics inside. Otherwise, Lao Wu wouldn't be so confident.
But just as Xiao Feng shifted his gaze from the strange stove to Li Guofu's face, he saw that Li Guofu looked relaxed.
It felt even more relaxed than before, as if a huge weight had been lifted from my heart.
This left Xiao Feng somewhat puzzled.
"Officer, what kind of stove I set up at home isn't illegal, is it?"
"Besides, there aren't any cultural relics inside that you're talking about. I think you'd better not destroy it," Li Guofu said calmly.
“If you receive a report, you should investigate it thoroughly. Once you’ve investigated it thoroughly, won’t you be cleared of all charges?” Old Wu deliberately emphasized the word “cleared of all charges.”
Li Guofu looked up suspiciously, wondering what this police officer knew. He felt that this officer was targeting him.
"Who exactly reported me?" Li Guofu changed the subject and asked.
"After we finish looking around here, I'll take you to see the person who reported you," Old Wu said, gesturing to the police officer beside him to make the move.
The entire stove was sealed off with cement and bricks, so the only option was to break it open by force.
Two police officers came over with hammers, and Li Guofu's son, Li Jinshu, immediately became unhappy.
“Wait a minute. If there aren’t any cultural relics here that you’re talking about, then you’ve damaged my property. How are you going to settle this score?” Li Jinshu was burly, unlike Li Jinbao.
Having been used to manual labor, his sudden appearance standing up like this did give him a certain air of authority.
But these police officers completely disregarded him.
"If you don't have one, I'll replace it with a new one," Old Wu said generously.
Old Wu had already figured out whether there was anything inside. But given the current state of things, even if there were no cultural relics, there must be something else. Otherwise, why would he leave this thing here?
Seeing that the other party was determined to open it, Li Jinshu secretly glanced at Li Guofu.
Li Guofu gave him a reassuring look, and Li Jinshu then stepped aside.
The police officer picked up a sledgehammer and began to open the stove.
After some banging, the stove was forcibly broken open.
There was absolutely nothing inside.
There was nothing else at that spot except for the bricks that had been knocked off.
Li Guofu leaned forward with a serious expression.
Pointing to the damaged stove, he said with a serious expression, "As you can see, there's nothing in here. Now you can tell me who reported it, right?"
Li Guofu is now determined to make these police officers stop.
"What's your hurry?" Old Wu also saw that there was nothing inside after the bricks were broken open.
But if there's really nothing inside, why build a stove like that? Is it just because they're bored and have nothing better to do?
Xiao Feng squatted down beside it and looked inside carefully, only to find that there really wasn't anything there.
Looking up at Lao Wu, bewildered, he awaited his next instructions.
"Dig!" Old Wu gave the order, and the other police officers took out shovels and prepared to continue digging at the location of the stove.
It was at this moment that Li Guofu, who had been very calm just moments before, became somewhat unsettled.
"No? You've already destroyed the stove, are you going to dig three feet into the ground now?" Li Guofu came to Lao Wu's side with a somewhat flustered expression and pointed to the destroyed stove.
Old Wu narrowed his eyes, seeing through Li Guofu's panic.
"I just wanted to conduct a thorough investigation so that I could clear your name," Old Wu said with a smile.
"Don't dig, don't dig, digging will ruin our family's feng shui!" Li Guofu blurted out in a panic.
Old Wu's smile deepened. "Feng shui? As the village chief, are you engaging in feudal superstition?" Old Wu calmly accused Li Guofu of a serious matter.
Li Guofu was speechless for a moment.
Li Jinshu stood to the side, some sweat beading on his forehead.
Although he knew nothing about cultural relics, there was definitely a secret hidden in his family's stove.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have tried to stop it just now.
Li Guofu watched as the police officers dug in with shovels, and he felt completely distraught.
There are indeed no cultural relics here, but their family has a lot of wealth hidden under this stove.
I originally thought that once the police officers opened the stove and found nothing, they would stop.
Who would have thought that they would dig even deeper?
Not long after, the shovel struck something hard, making a crisp sound.
Li Guofu inwardly knew something was wrong.
I've already started thinking of what to say.
"We've found something!" shouted the police officer who was digging.
Seeing that they had made a discovery, the group dug even harder.
Before long, two brown pickle jars were dug out.
It looks quite ordinary; it's just the kind of jar used in rural areas for pickling vegetables.
"It's quite heavy." One of the police officers tried to lift it, but couldn't budge it.
At this moment, another police officer came over, and the two of them worked together to lift the jar out.
Place it on a flat surface to the side.
