C1614 Professor Huang
The staff dormitory building that they came to Beijing University was located outside of the school. There were a few low-rise buildings and they were managed by the school. However, because they had been built for a long time, the buildings seemed to have existed for a long time.1
"I didn't expect there to be such an old building in the capital." Yang Tao said.
"Of course, this building was allocated to the faculty and workers a long time ago. Although it has been allocated for a long time, it still has property rights." Liu Lu said.
"That's great. If this place is demolished in the future, we can probably get quite a bit of money out of it."
If the land is so expensive now, I don't think the school would want to tear down this place either. In this case, the people who live here are all the old staff of the school and have lived here for a lifetime and are unwilling to leave, but their families are actually quite rich, so they are willing to stay in this old place. It's impossible for them to buy a second apartment just because they have to pay for the second house in the capital.
"Alright, looks like the school is in a difficult position." Yang Tao said.
While they were talking, they arrived at the old professor's house that Liu Lu had mentioned.
"This is Professor Huang's house." The professor they were looking for today was called Huang Hongkuo. He was a professor of history and had a deep knowledge of the history of the world.
As she said this, Liu Lu knocked on the door. Just as she knocked, she heard a very loud female voice coming from inside.
"If you don't find the item today, I'll go on talking to you."
"Alright, I've already said that I will definitely be able to find it. Don't keep looking, okay? Didn't you hear the knock on the door? Someone came into the house." Not long after, the door opened and a white-haired old man opened it. This old man wore glasses, had a bald head, was wearing a white vest and shorts, and had a flip-flop on his feet. He didn't look like an old professor.
"Hello, who are you?" The old man rubbed his eyes, obviously not recognizing the two people at the door.
"Professor Huang, I'm called Liu Lu. Do you still remember the map I sent you? You told me to come here and look for you." Liu Lu said.
"Oh, Liu Lu." Huang Hongkuo also remembered and nodded.
"Damned old man, who's out there talking for so long, hurry up and find my things, did you secretly give them to some vixen?" A voice came from the room.
"Sigh, can you calm down a bit? I'm so old, how could any fox spirit fancy me? The item is at home, I don't remember where I put it anymore." Huang Hongkuo shouted into the room and then said to Liu Lu and Jing Rong, "I'm really sorry. I might not have time today. You guys can come back another day."
He came today with hope, so how could he give up so easily? He asked, "Professor Huang, wait a minute, what are you looking for? I might be able to help."
"You can help? How are you going to help me find it when it's left in my own home? " Huang Hongkuo was a bit suspicious.
"If I lost it somewhere else, I might not be able to help, but if I was at home, I would definitely be able to find it. To be honest, I'm a detective, and I've found clues and helped solve cases before." Yang Tao said.
"If that's the case, then come in. You don't need to take off your shoes, just come in." Professor Huang beckoned them in.
"Damned old man, have you found the thing yet? Who are these two?" At this time, a woman walked out from inside. She was around the same age as Professor Huang, but she had taken good care of herself.
