Enlisting for the second time, starting from the strongest

Chapter 511 Moved Away?!

"Young man, are you sure it's the east of the village? Not the north of the village?"

"I am most familiar with the entire village. The sixth, seventh, and eighth families on the east side of the village have all moved to the city. There is no way there are any other families left."

"And the old lady you're talking about, her family's surname is Cheng, right?"

"Correct."

Now the facts became even more confusing and Wang Chen had no idea what was going on.

But there is really no other way at the moment, let's go to the east of the village to see what the situation is first.

After moving all the things into the trunk and getting in the car, Qian Ze asked curiously:

"Lao Wang, what's going on? I saw you chatting with the boss for a long time. Did you come up with anything?"

"No, the boss said that Cheng's mother moved away, and I was wondering, how could she, an elderly person, have the energy to do all this?"

"Huh? Moved?"

When Wang Chen said this, everyone else in the car was stunned.

This matter is a bit ridiculous, especially for Firefly, who feels that this matter is really strange.

When Cheng Li was still around, he would tell him from time to time that after his service as captain, he would recover and go home to take care of his mother because his mother was not in good health.

Yes, but how could such an old lady in poor health have the strength to go through the trouble of moving?

"Forget it, forget it. I'll drive over there first and see what they say. Wang Chen, I still need you to show me the way."

"Maybe it was her relative or something like that who took it over to her?"

Liuguang spoke.

"Well, it's possible. Let's go and take a look. Maybe the boss is wrong."

"Liuguang, drive forward. The fifth house is Cheng Li's previous home."

While Wang Chen was directing, Liuguang drove the car inside.

This is basically lunch time, so every household closes their doors, and from time to time, you can smell the fragrance of food.

When the four of them arrived at the fifth bungalow, the outermost door of the bungalow was locked. Looking inside through the railings, they saw that the entire yard was overgrown with weeds and the bungalow was empty. It didn't look like anyone lived there at all.

Four people got out of the car, and Wang Chen saw them climb over the low wall at the side and remove the iron lock that was covered with rust with one hand. It was unknown how long it had taken.

"That's not right. Why does it feel like this is a place that hasn't been inhabited for a long time?"

"Yes, look at the weeds in the yard. It looks like no one has trimmed them for half a year."

Everyone squatted down and looked at the ground and said, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a place where people live.

"Something's wrong. Wait a minute. I'll go ask the neighbors next door."

Wang Chen had just seen several families with fireworks on their way here. They were all neighbors in the village and might know something about this place.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen had already arrived at the door of a house with smoke still rising from the chimney and knocked on the door.

"Who?"

The person who opened the door was a dark-skinned middle-aged man, who seemed to be wondering why someone would knock on his door at this time. You know, their house is seldom visited, and there are only a few families living there in the entire village.

"Hello, I want to ask if there is an old lady next door? I am her son's comrade-in-arms and wanted to come and see her, but when I got here, I found that she had moved away."

"Do you know where this family went?"

Wang Chen revealed his identity and asked directly, "Hmm? Are you talking about the family next door?"

"Didn't they move out half a year ago? I saw her son taking her away."

The middle-aged man had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he didn't understand what Wang Chen and the others meant.

"Ah? Moved away half a year ago?"

"Yes! Her son is very successful and is an officer in the army."

"Anything else? If not, I'll close the shop."

"Wait, do you know where they moved to?"

"I'm not sure. It seems like they moved to the city. They moved out at night. When I woke up the next day, I found her house was empty."

After the middle-aged man finished speaking, he immediately closed the door, leaving Wang Chen standing there in a daze.

Could it be that Cheng Li came back and took his mother away?
But it has been almost ten months since the last incident with Cheng Li. Wasn’t he in the advanced stage of brain cancer and unwilling to show up again? Before that, had he taken him away to his mother?

Wang Chen just felt that his mind was too confused, and finally he went back to the three people and told them about this matter.

"Ah? They've really moved out? But didn't Captain Cheng say he couldn't take it anymore? How could this happen?"

"Where can an old man go? Should we go look for him in the city?"

Everyone was at a loss for what to do for a moment and just felt that this matter was very strange.

"If we go to the city to look for it, how long will it take to find it?"

"Wait a moment, I'll go look inside the bungalow to see if I can find any clues."

After Wang Chen finished speaking, he turned and entered the bungalow.

It can be seen that except for some very old and outdated things that were not moved away, all other slightly newer things or things with commemorative value were moved away.

Wang Chen walked straight to Cheng Li's bedroom. He used to live in that bedroom. On the wall were still some of Cheng Li's childhood award certificates that had turned gray.

With a glance, it was still the same as before, still the same appearance as he remembered.

"Hmm, something seems a little off. Why is this certificate bulging? Is there something inside?"

Wang Chen came to the certificate on the lower left with some curiosity. This certificate was obviously thicker than the others.

In other words, Wang Chen has good eyesight. Others might not be able to see any difference.

Reaching out and touching the thicker certificate, he became more certain of his previous thought: it must be thicker, as there was something inside.

"Come in, I found something wrong."

Wang Chen shouted, and the other three people who were in the yard came in one after another. They saw Wang Chen pointing at a certificate.

"What's going on, Lao Wang? This is Captain Cheng's room. Isn't this just an ordinary award certificate? What's the big deal?"

Yinghuo walked forward and stared in the direction Wang Chen pointed with some confusion.

"Don't worry, there's something in here. I'll get it out and show you."

As Wang Chen spoke, he reached out to peel off the certificate, but since he didn't know what it was stuck on, he couldn't peel it off, and in the end he could only tear it open roughly.

Then an envelope fell to the ground.
