Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 71. The Mueller Story

Seeing that the other party was also called Mueller, Dong Qiangqiang remembered what Hans said, and reached out his hand to loosen him. Lei Lanting was quick to hold his hand and said, "What are you doing?"

"What else can I do? Untie him. Can't keep him tied up? What if we go back and sue us for illegal detention?"

"Wait first," Lei Lanting took Dong Qiangqiang aside and glanced back at Mueller, the man with glasses, "If he's really the master, why is he sneaking? Why don't you just shoot us away? Why pretend to be a ghost to scare us? Man? What if he's a fake? Have you thought about that?"

"A counterfeit?" Dong Qiangqiang asked suspiciously, "Who would impersonate him? What is it for?"

"The Germans must also have the same name." Lei Lanting curled his lips, "Let's ask again, and it's not too late to confirm that there is no problem."

Dong Qiangqiang thought for a while and nodded.

"In this way, I will be white, but you will be red." Lei Lanting stung again.

"You said you were the owner of this house?" Lei Lanting took out his ID card in his wallet and checked the photo and Mueller himself, "Then why didn't you come out when we came in?"

"I was upstairs," Mueller raised his neck. "I didn't hear you."

"Then the three of us came in and you, the master, didn't hear you?" Lei Lanting slapped the table sharply, "Then how did you know to steal our roast duck? In my opinion, you are not a master at all, you are a thief! Should be taken to the police station."

Dong Qiangqiang secretly laughed in his heart: It seems that Lei Lanting was too bad for not eating the second duck.

"This is my own home, what I eat is my own business." Mueller's voice was a little hoarse, "and I, I didn't eat your roast duck."

"What about our roast duck?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.

"Throw it," Mueller said, looking out the window.

"Where did you throw it? Outside the window?" Lei Lanting ran to the window with a single stride, clinging to the window sill to look out.

Mueller was silent for a while.

"What are you looking at? Don't look at it." Dong Qiangqiang was also a little angry, "Even if he really threw it out of the window, he threw it out of the kitchen window, and he couldn't belong to this room."

"That's right," Lei Lanting patted his forehead, turned around and walked out of the house.Just after taking two steps, he suddenly turned back, rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Mueller, still muttering words, as if he was going to hit someone.

Mueller turned pale with fright, looked at him hastily and said, "Not outside the window, not outside the window. In the basement! The ducks are in the basement!"

"Damn, such a good duck, you threw it into the basement? Lei Lanting was furious, "I have to hit you today..."

Before he could punch, Dong Qiangqiang grabbed him: "Calm down."

"Don't stop me, I must beat this bastard who wastes food today." Lei Lanting waved his arms and shouted angrily.

Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: This Lei Lanting should be a good actor if he acts.

"Why did you throw the duck in the basement?" Tong Lele, who had not spoken, suddenly asked.

Mueller sighed and gave Dong Qiangqiang a nudge with his chin: "I saw that you didn't steal my red wine, so... I changed my mind temporarily."

"If you don't want others to bother you, why are you looking for a cleaner through a labor agency? The house is clean except for the third floor." Tong Lele looked at Mueller's face and asked softly.

"You said that the intermediary introduced you," Mueller turned to look at the three of them, "Do you have any evidence?"

"Well, take a good look." Lei Lanting took out a folded piece of A4 paper from his pocket and unfolded it in front of Mueller's eyes.At the same time, he said loudly: "This is a labor contract. And I came here once this week with the agent, and the agent handed me these keys."

Mueller stared at the paper for a while, then was silent for a few seconds, then shook his head and said, "I haven't...looked for a labor agency."

"Didn't you find it?" Lei Lanting became more and more confused, "But it was obviously the labor agency who introduced this job to me."

"Maybe my sister Michelle was looking for it."

"Your sister?" The three asked in unison.

"Yes. My sister, Michelle Mueller." Mueller's face was expressionless, "but she passed away last week of a heart attack."

Before Lei Lanting could speak, Dong Qiangqiang walked to Mueller's side and quickly untied the rope on him.

"Mr. Mueller, I'm sorry for tying you up. It's a misunderstanding. Please forgive me. We didn't mean to do this to you." Dong Qiangqiang said sincerely.

"Hey, you, how did you untie him?" Lei Lanting only reacted when he saw Dong Qiangqiang untie the rope.

Mueller shook his head with a wry smile, waved his hand, Tong Lele handed Mueller a glass of water, Mueller took a sip and breathed a sigh of relief, his face looked a little rosier.

"Since it's your sister's agency, you can tell us well, why are you scaring us like this?" Lei Lanting said angrily, "What if I have a heart attack and you scare you out? manage?"

"I didn't know she found a cleaner, I thought..." Mueller hesitated, "You guys are here to steal money too."

"Also? Stealing money?" Lei Lanting glanced at Tong Lele and Dong Qiangqiang.

Dong Qiangqiang's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly remembered what Hans had said to him: Are you going to Mr. Muller's treasure house?
"This villa is my family's ancestral home. It has been rumored in the village that my father hid a large amount of money in this building."

"Then why didn't he just leave the money to you and your sister?" Tong Lele asked boldly.

"My parents got divorced when I was very young. I was sentenced to my mother, and Michelle, my sister, was sentenced to my father. But after the divorce he rarely came to see me and my mother, Until his death, we didn't have any deep feelings between us." Mueller's voice was low and slow, with some accents, and the three of them couldn't understand it very well.

"After a few years, my mother also passed away. Before she died, she suddenly told me that my father left the ancestral house to me and Michelle before he died. I went to Michelle and asked to see the will, but she refused. It's gone." Mueller smiled wryly, "I was later told that there might be a lot of money hidden somewhere in the building besides the house. I said to Michelle: If there is money hidden in the building, I would The two should be divided equally. But she said the house has nothing to do with me."

"Aren't you a country governed by the rule of law? Can you file a lawsuit? Are you a typical child fighting for their parents' estate?" Lei Lanting sat down on the chair and said disapprovingly.Tong Lele glared at him and motioned him not to talk nonsense.

"I took her to the court, but she showed a will, in which it did not mention that the house belonged to the two of us. So the court lost my case in the first trial. Later, I appealed for a second trial, but I My lawyer suggested that I negotiate with Michelle. If the negotiation fails, I will probably lose. I think if the house belongs to her, it will be fine, but the money is half of mine, so I must find that money.”

"So you came here to get back the money your father left you?" Dong Qiangqiang asked tentatively.

Mueller nodded with a sad expression: "I've been here a few times, but I haven't found anything. Later, Michelle applied for a restraining order with the court to prohibit me from entering the villa again." He looked straight at the villa. Floor: "In the end, I didn't expect that before the lawsuit was over, she had a heart attack..."

"My condolences and change." Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele whispered in unison.

"Then did you find the money later?" Lei Lanting couldn't help but asked in a low voice.

Mueller shook his head: "I've searched the first to third floors, the basement and the garage. There are only some toys and pictures of our childhood collected by my father, and some records, nothing else... Nothing... ..." He let out a long sigh and covered his face with his hands.

"Then," Lei Lanting glanced at Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele, paused, and asked suddenly, "What if... we can help you find money?"

"You?" Mueller's body shook, he put down his hands, and looked at the three people in front of him suspiciously, "How did you find them?"

"Looking for things is not random, there is a way." Lei Lanting stood up from his chair and said while gesturing, "In our east, there is a secret to finding things."

Mueller's eyes lit up: "What method do you have? Tell me quickly."

Seeing that he had listened, Lei Lanting quickly sold out: "I just told you, can you understand the essence of it? Do you understand oriental culture?"

When Mueller was middle-aged, his mind was a little dull, and he didn't understand Lei Lanting's suggestion: "Then, what should I do then?"

Lei Lanting smiled mysteriously: "It's easy, we'll help you find it. If you find the money, half for you and half for us. How about it?"

"This..." Mueller didn't expect Lei Lanting to speak loudly, so he was speechless.

Seeing his silence, Lei Lanting persuaded without haste: "If you found it before, you would have to share half of it with your sister. Although the money belongs to you now, haven't you found it yet? Have you already Have you been looking for a long time? Instead of that, let us help you find it, everyone will be happy if you find it, and there will be no loss if you can't find it. What do you think?"

Mueller frowned and stared out the window without saying a word, as if it was difficult to accept Lei Lanting's suggestion.

"You don't have to be embarrassed, I just have a suggestion." Lei Lanting clapped his chin, "We don't have to rely on you, we will go back to work after cleaning the third floor tomorrow morning. It's not too early, you should go to bed soon too."

The three men walked towards the door of the house, Lei Lanting walked in the back, he stretched his waist and said with infinite regret: "It's a pity my duck, hey..."

Mueller, who had been silent for a while, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Okay, I promise you. If I can find the money, I will give you half of it."
