Chapter 133: Chapter 133 Letter within a Letter_1

Song Yunuan blinked her eyes and said to the officer on duty, "... because the incident happened so suddenly, my grandma was so upset that she had to be taken to the emergency room, and she has only just been resuscitated."

"I was just looking for Uncle Ho to discuss something and thought I’d report the case here, but if that’s not possible, we’ll head back to the commune."

The officer on duty looked at Song Yunuan and pondered for a moment, "Uncle Ho, you mean our Deputy Director Ho?"

Song Yunuan nodded decisively.

The duty officer said, "Deputy Director Ho has left work."

"Then I’ll give him a call."

She then politely asked, "May I use this phone?"

The duty officer nodded, letting her make the call. These internal calls didn’t cost anything.

Before making the call, he even specifically asked her if she knew how to use it.

The one who answered was Deputy Director Ho, who was surprised to hear Song Yunuan’s voice. She briefly mentioned her uncle’s situation, "Uncle Ho, reporting the case is just a side matter. Mainly, I received a very strange letter and I’d like to get your help analyzing it. But since you’ve finished work, we can come back tomorrow morning instead."

A very strange letter?

Such words were too tempting.

Especially since she was standing right there, even the duty officer became interested.

How could Old Ho wait until tomorrow?

Song Yunuan added, "This very peculiar letter, there’s something else behind it. Let’s do this, I’ll explain it to you in person tomorrow morning."

Old Ho said on the phone, "Just wait there, aren’t you there to report a case? We’ll deal with both matters in a little while, I’ll be there immediately."

Before Song Yunuan could respond, the call was cut off from the other side.

Song Yunuan looked at her eldest uncle and younger uncle and remarked, "Uncle Ho is really enthusiastic; he’s a good person."

Song Nian and Xia Xinshan: "..."

Mainly because with the way this young girl talks, who could sleep soundly?

Song Nian felt a bit nervous inside.

After all, this was a family matter, and it wasn’t right to get outsiders involved.

Old Man Song was currently watching the carriages across the street.

They were loaded with feed and water.

He was about to give some water to his beloved Big Jujube when he saw a man pedaling frantically toward them on a bicycle.

The man looked somewhat familiar.

Ah, that’s right, it was Station Chief Ho; he had heard the man was promoted recently.

Little Nuan actually summoned him here?

After Old Ho entered, he indeed saw Song Yunuan sitting obediently on the living room sofa.

As soon as Song Yunuan saw him, she dutifully called out "Uncle Ho" and introduced him to Song Nian and Xia Xinshan.

Then it was time to report the case. He instructed Xia Xinshan to go talk to the duty officer, who started taking down the details right away, ensuring that they would call the commune the next morning and guarantee justice would be served.

Standing by the window over here were Old Ho and Song Yunuan.

Song Yunuan handed over the letter to Old Ho, "Uncle Ho, this is a letter my grandma received; Zhu Feng is my grandma’s name. It should probably be reported, but there’s something else behind it. Our family didn’t know how to handle it, and I remembered I’m closest to you. What do you think, does this count as a threat or intimidation?"

Old Ho’s eyes narrowed when he saw the signature.

It was one of those special kraft paper envelopes.

The sender’s address at the bottom was pre-printed with a standard address.

The recipient’s address and name were handwritten.

He didn’t see a stamp.

But inside the kraft paper envelope, there was a broken blade tip.

Old Ho frowned, saying seriously, "That can be considered a threat and intimidation."

He then looked at Song Yunuan, "You just mentioned there’s something behind this?"

"Let’s talk about that later, I want you to take me to the post and telecommunications office tomorrow to find the team responsible for sending and receiving letters. You just need to get me in there, don’t worry about anything else."

There she should be able to trigger the related plot.

However, she glanced at Old Ho.

In just that short while, she had unexpectedly triggered a minor plotline.

Then, she lowered her voice and said, "Actually, I’m here to provide you with clues, but it’s not good to speak clearly over the phone."

Old Ho felt somewhat puzzled.

Remembering something, he suddenly asked, "You’ve all been threatened and intimidated, aren’t you going to report it?"

Song Yunuan smiled awkwardly, pointing to the address below, "That address is where my grandmother’s ex-husband lives."

Old Ho’s eyes widened.

What’s the connection here?

"Uncle Ho, right now I just need to find out how this letter came to be, don’t you think it’s too strange, without even a stamp on it?"

"Then how can you make it clear?"

"I’ll just go ask the sending and receiving team. They have records. If they didn’t receive it, then it must have been delivered by someone using a letter within a letter," she replied.

Old Ho looked at Song Yunuan.

The little girl was really smart.

Yes, smart and brave.

She was unafraid wherever she went, perhaps she really could find the answers.

If she still couldn’t figure it out, he would certainly help check into it.

Just as he was about to speak, Song Yunuan again exercised her ability to tell a bold-faced lie, "A lot happened today, and after much consideration, I decided to tell you the information I heard during the day and evening. I think it might be useful to you."

Old Ho looked at Song Yunuan suspiciously, "What information?"

"Today, my grandmother and I were selling clothes on the east side of the department store, where there was a constant flow of people. I was standing behind a wooden rack working as a model.

Then, a few people behind me were chatting and I accidentally overheard them.

I didn’t fully understand at the time, and didn’t think much of it, but today, at the entrance of the hospital, I overheard two sneaky men whispering about how the Beidu Department Store’s watch counter had 118 watches stolen," she said.

Old Ho immediately straightened up, his gaze becoming sharp, "Are those two men still at the entrance of the hospital? What do they look like, any specific features?" he asked urgently, his demeanor instantly becoming serious.

The case had happened half a month ago.

At the crime scene, other than the shattered glass of the counter, there were no other clues.

Ordinarily, a case like this would be solved within two or three days, but now there had been no progress at all.

No footprints, no fingerprints, and no idea how the thief got in or out.

Song Yunuan said, "We were quite busy at the time, and it was just about closing time. There were so many people at the main entrance. By the time I realized something was amiss and went to look for someone, in the hustle and bustle of the crowd, there was no trace of the people who had been speaking.

But here is a synthesis of the clues for you: Our department store has a tunnel, dug in the early years, known by very few. It’s located in a storage room on the first floor right across from the main entrance.

The exit is in the slaughterhouse to the north of the city. The thief is working alone, but he is no longer in Nanshan County Town; he went to Beidu early on and sold the watches to a man named Wang Dadian in Beans Alley, who is said to now have his sights on treasures in the Beidu Museum."

As Song Yunuan narrated, Old Ho’s expression grew more and more serious, his whole body tensed, and his hands clenched into fists.

He had to notify the main bureau immediately.

A meeting must be called overnight.

This information had arrived just in time!
