Chapter 209 Sorry, I'm a Policeman!
While speaking, the skinny old man showed an unexpected smile: "In this way, I did not misunderstand the person. The guy is really a Feng Shui master, and he is very smart."
"Uh..." Fang Yuan was stunned and had some clarity. After a long time of fuss, the thin old man was testing his strength, which made him somewhat unhappy, and felt that he was wasting his kindness.
"Don't be angry, brother." At this time, the thin old man also noticed Fang Yuan's dissatisfaction. After smiling, he suddenly asked: "Brother, if I read it correctly, you and that little girl came here, it would be as simple as traveling around the mountains and rivers and watching the scenery."
"Huh?" Fang Yuan frowned and said, "Old man, what do you mean? Didn't you just say that? We did not come to see the scenery, but came to study ancient buildings in the village. Actually, I am a designer, specializing in ancient buildings, so it is normal to go to the countryside to collect folklore..."
"Brother, why do you have to lie?" At the right time, the skinny old man shook his head gently and said, "No matter what your purpose is, I don't plan to ask more questions. I just want to tell you that I have a bit of prestige in the village, and I should be able to help you with your affairs."
"Really?" At this moment, Ye Weiyang appeared next to him, and there was a hint of joy in his eyes.
"Of course." The skinny old man immediately smiled and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant, but mainly in the village. My age and seniority are there. Everyone respects the elderly and loves the young, so they must give some face. Some people still listen to what I say."
"That's great..." Ye Weiyang's eyes lit up slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Old man, I really need you to help coordinate with me..."
"Hey." At this moment, Fang Yuan whispered: "Your colleague hasn't arrived yet, why are you in a hurry to reveal the secret? Are you not afraid that he will immediately turn against others after he knows what's going on?"
"You don't understand, I know this." Ye Weiyang explained softly: "You are not a policeman and don't understand the difficulties of doing mass work. If you are not careful, it will easily lead to mass slaughter, so someone needs to coordinate and soothe their emotions."
Fang Yuan suddenly realized and understood Ye Weiyang's concerns.
After all, the relationship between the people in the village is not as cold as that of the residents of metropolitan cities. The people in each village are basically connected together through blood ties. Strictly speaking, everyone is a relative. When relatives are in trouble, whether they are in charge or not, first of all, they must help their relatives or not, and support from all directions.
This is a style left over from ancient clan society. Regardless of whether this style is correct or not, there are indeed such problems in the vast rural areas. To a certain extent, such relationships have pros and cons and cannot be generalized. However, in this case, it is indeed a headache for Ye Weiyang.
If the skinny elderly person is really willing to stand up and help clear the relationship, it will definitely be able to effectively relieve everyone's tension, which is naturally a good thing for everyone to be happy.
Thinking of this, Ye Weiyang immediately waved Fang Yuan aside, and then smiled and said, "Uncle, you are so awesome. You can see through our concealment at a glance."
"Of course." The skinny old man smiled and said, "When you drove outside the village, I watched on the mountain, and then I found you walking around in the village. After walking for a while, someone was directed toward the direction of Longying Mountain, and then wandered at the foot of the mountain..."
"Anyway, your behavior is weird and suspicious, and it doesn't seem like you are here to visit."
The thin old man looked shrewd in his eyes: "As for studying ancient buildings, it must be an excuse. After all, in your eyes, I don't show how much fanatical interest I have in the old houses in the village."
For a moment, Fang Yuan was also a little surprised. He never expected that the old man in the village would have such eyesight. At this time, he also sighed a little. It seems that the philosopher was right. If he wanted others to be stupid, he could only mean that he was stupid.
The fact that the skinny old man used iron to fully proves that the idiom "being old" is definitely not casually classified and summarized, but the experiences and lessons learned by many young people over the past thousands of years.
"But then again."
At this time, Fang Yuan said in confusion: "You are too idle, so you keep staring at us on the mountain."
"Hehe, it's a coincidence." The skinny old man said bluntly: "I received a call from my son yesterday. He said he would come to see me today. Anyway, I was idle, so I simply walked around the mountain and saw the car. At the beginning, I thought my son was here, but because of my bad eyes and my vagueness, I simply kept staring at it..."
"Okay, it's not unfair to fall." Fang Yuan had nothing to say. It was not that they didn't hide it well enough, but that they just saw the flaws for an old man who cared about his son, and that could only be said to be a crime of non-war.
"Tell me, what are you doing to come to the village for?" At the same time, the skinny old man was also a little curious: "You must know that this village is a bit remote and the road is not easy to walk on, so most people are not interested in running here."
"I said, don't say anything." At this time, Ye Weiyang whispered: "Old man, I'm sorry, I'm actually a policeman!"
"Police?" The skinny old man was stunned, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I'm a policeman." Ye Weiyang took out a small notebook and handed it over: "This is my ID."
The skinny old man took the notebook and opened it, then squinted his eyes and looked at it. He looked at it without any panic. Instead, he laughed: "What a policeman, but you are policemen in a big city. How can you have time to visit our small village in a remote countryside?"
"This is the thing..." Ye Weiyang quickly explained: "In recent times, we have received reports that some ancient buildings in cities near metropolis have been frequently stolen. After investigation, we found that someone bought some ancient buildings in the village, so we came to learn about some situations."
"What?" The skinny old man was stunned: "What do you mean is someone in the village bought stolen goods?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Ye Weiyang nodded repeatedly, then said with a kind smile: "But the ignorant is not guilty. If you buy stolen goods without knowing it, it is not a big responsibility. As long as you explain it clearly, it will be fine."
"Old people, frequent theft of criminal gangs has endangered the safety of the people's property. We naturally have to severely eliminate their arrogance to prevent more people from suffering tragic losses."
After Ye Weiyang made righteous words, he showed a sweet smile: "In other words, we came here this time not to hold anyone responsible, but to seek help. I hope that through those who bought the stolen goods, we will follow the clues to find the criminals. This is a great thing that is beneficial to the people. You must help us."
It can be seen that although Ye Weiyang is handling the case for the first time, he knows how to understand the reason and move the emotions of him. Now he is completely a kind-hearted image of serving the people, showing the purpose of serving the people to the fullest. Then, for public and private, the thin old man is embarrassed to refuse to agree to help.
"There is a set." Fang Yuan quietly praised and gave a thumbs up.
"Hmph!" Ye Weiyang raised his head proudly, with a little complacent look in his eyes, and was also very satisfied with his performance.
At the right time, under the attention of the two, the thin old man pondered and nodded slowly, "It's not impossible to help you, but..."
"But what?" Ye Weiyang hurriedly said: "Old man, if you have something to do, just say it. As long as it is reasonable, we will definitely not refuse. If we look back and solve the case, our leader will definitely give you a banner."
"Forget it, pennants or something. People of my age don't want this vanity." The skinny old man waved his hand.
In an instant, Ye Weiyang interrupted again, "Not only is it a banner, but also a reward, providing useful clues, at least several hundred bonuses."
"Little girl, don't be anxious." The skinny old man chuckled and said, "I don't want the bonus either."
"Don't have a banner, no bonus, what do you want?" Ye Weiyang frowned. You should know that the banner is famous and the bonus is profit. If you provide clues to help solve the case, you can win both fame and fortune. Such a good thing is a skinny old man refuses without hesitation. Is it really a noble character and no return? Or is it a bigger plan?
At this moment, the thin old man smiled and suddenly looked at Fang Yuan and asked, "Young man is also a policeman?"
"No." Fang Yuan shook his head directly: "I am her friend, and I was a tyrant who was slapped, and her colleagues will arrive in a while."
"That's easy to deal with." In an instant, the thin old man smiled and said, "You can ask me to help, and I also promise that the person who bought the stolen goods can provide clear clues so that you can solve the case smoothly. But in exchange, you must also do me a favor, so that it will be fair and reasonable."
"Why is it me, not her?" Fang Yuan was a little alert.
"Anyway, you are friends, and everyone is the same." The skinny old man smiled and said, "Brother, if you want to pursue a girl, you must show your heroic demeanor. You can't be so petty."
"Uh..." Fang Yuan touched his nose and defended: "Old man, I think you misunderstood. We are not..."
"Okay." At this moment, Ye Weiyang agreed: "Uncle, if you have something to do, just say it. We will help you. If he can't handle it, I'll find someone else, which will definitely satisfy you."
"What I said doesn't work if ordinary people come." The skinny old man's expression was slightly deeper, and he became a little more serious: "Brother, you are a smart person. Maybe you should have guessed what I want to say."
"I wasn't sure, but after hearing what you said, I had some guesses." Fang Yuan frowned slightly and couldn't help but sigh: "I never expected that after walking around for most of the time, I finally found the main owner."
"What does it mean?" Ye Weiyang said in surprise: "What Zen trick are you working on?"
"Don't you understand?" Fang Yuan sighed: "If nothing unexpected happens, this old man should be the one who bought the ancient building in the village..."
