Chapter 921: which came first, the tattered clothes basket or the lucky one?
When Xiao He arrived at the scene, several cars were already parked outside the Jinhe Prince's Mansion. The construction team, which was working enthusiastically, also stopped working and was temporarily isolated outside. After proving that he was the master of the place, Xiao He was finally led into his royal garden. However, since he had come in a hurry and was more concerned about the safety of Xiao Chen and the others, Xiao He was amazed by the size of the place and did not have the time to look at the surrounding scenery. He directly followed the map directions in his memory and came to the building that Caranson had mentioned. Jinhe Prince's Mansion has the most basic architectural layout of a traditional Chinese feudal prince's mansion. The buildings behind it are the rear courtyard of the mansion. In other words, according to ancient system, this was the kitchen and living quarters of servants and servants, with attached firewood and charcoal storage rooms, miscellaneous storage rooms, etc. Therefore, it is naturally separated from the elegant and orderly garden in the front part, and the geographical location is relatively remote. Therefore, this part of the building renovation was scheduled to be carried out last. Most of the construction teams and employees were still working on the first half. Many of the original abandoned furniture items from Jinhe Prince's Mansion were also piled up here, and few people usually came here anymore. If Xiao Chen and the others hadn't come today, Carlansen would probably have started arranging for construction to begin here in a few days. But things are very different here now— - The area is now cordoned off, and several police officers in special uniforms and gloves are conducting a thorough investigation of the messy old house, with the sound of camera shutters clicking constantly as they take photos for evidence. The air was filled with the smell of mildew and rust. The police officers worked together to carry out box after box of old tin boxes. What was originally a bright and sunny day suddenly felt more serious and tense. Officer Mi, standing at the door, had a serious expression. His gaze swept over the boxes and boxes, and his brows were almost furrowed into a tight knot. "Comrade, please do not enter or leave this area without permission!" At that moment, a police officer's voice came from the other side. Officer Mi looked up at the sound and saw a somewhat familiar-looking young man anxiously peering in from the outside. "Hello, I am Xiao He, the landlord of this place. I rushed over immediately after receiving the call. Where are the people who first discovered the situation here? Are they injured?" "Huh?" Officer Mi squinted at Xiao He, seemingly lost in thought: "It was him? He's the owner of this place?" There's really nothing between Officer Mi and Xiao He. He was the head of the main investigation team responsible for the case of the burning of the Museum of Emperor Chen's Original Works. While investigating this case, he had some connection with the production team of the TV series "The Imperial Empire," which led him to gain a deeper understanding of Xiao He, the male lead of the series. However, the two never had any formal contact, nor did they ever exchange a single word. However, Officer Chen, who was working with them on the joint investigation, mentioned Xiao He once, but only that Xiao He played a key role in the restoration of Emperor Chen's original work. The professors at the restoration center praised him highly, saying that Xiao He was a calligraphy genius and had great insights into AI-related research. Officer Mi had only heard of this person before, but since he wasn't interested in following celebrities and few people around him would bring up gossip about the entertainment industry, he had long forgotten about this star. Who would have thought they would have this connection? "Ah, it's Xiao He!" The young police officer next to him was also a little surprised. "My mom really loves watching his TV dramas! He's a super popular actor! But how can he be so rich? The houses here aren't cheap, how could he afford such a big piece of land?" This location is extraordinary; they treat the scenic area like their own home, and that's no exaggeration. Are actors still making this much money these days? Officer Mi wasn't very familiar with the entertainment industry, but after thinking about it carefully, he vaguely remembered that the authorities had intervened to rectify the chaos in the area several times. Even if Xiao He is very famous, his income seems a bit off, doesn't it? Even if you manage to snag a property in this location at an auction, it will still cost a considerable amount of money. Where did Xiao He get the funds? But soon, he remembered something Officer Chen had casually mentioned to him earlier— "AI? These emerging industries are indeed making money..." Officer Mi remained outwardly calm, but he was already preparing to have someone investigate Xiao He's tax issues. It's no wonder Officer Mi was suspicious. After all, his biggest impression of Xiao He was that he was an actor, and as a native of Beijing, he knew very well the complexity of this place. What he probably didn't know was that Xiao He's tax records had already been repeatedly investigated by several groups of people, including his Linghui Entertainment and Heguang Technology. Just from that trip on the Xiangsheng, the places where he was suspected and investigated had already been investigated by the higher-ups several times without leaving a trace. Officer Mi, this is already considered too late. —And it's destined that nothing will be found. - As if they had heard their discussion, or perhaps they had heard them calling his name, the young man suddenly turned his head and looked in their direction. Officer Mi nodded slightly, signaling the officer to let Xiao He in. "Thanks." Xiao He approached and immediately thanked him politely. "This way." Officer Mi personally led Xiao He to the location. "The people who discovered the secret basement are all fine, so don't worry." Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "By the way, when did you buy these properties here?" Officer Mi continued to investigate. Xiao He was no longer worried about these issues and simply relayed the report that Caranson had given him earlier. Anyway, since the system dared to release such a large royal garden, he dared to accept it. Officer Mi asked a series of questions and found that Xiao He's answers were quite frank and calm, so he no longer had any doubts, but he still had some questions. However, he did not say anything more. After all, he was only wondering why Xiao He was able to buy this place, but there were more important things to do right now. After taking Xiao He to another room, Officer Mi continued with his work. Seeing Xiao Chen and Lao Qi sitting in the room, Xiao He finally breathed a sigh of relief. "I heard Xiao Chen fell straight down, are you alright? Why didn't you go to the hospital for a check-up? Didn't I just ask Carlanson to take you?" As he spoke, he looked at Caranson with a puzzled expression. Carlanson shook his head helplessly, indicating that he had already said so, but Xiao Chen did not go. Xiao Chen immediately stretched out his arms and legs, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay, Brother Xiao! I feel great right now. I didn't fall anywhere at all. There was a broken clothes basket underneath that caught me." Xiao He: "...?" So why would there be a tattered clothes basket in a basement? Could it be that this is all for the purpose of successfully catching the lucky one today?
