Chapter 42: The Seven Tablets
The security guard just said that he hadn't seen Hu Hailan for more than half a month, but according to the security guard's words, because Hu Hailan was introverted and didn't like to talk much, she rarely went to that cosmetics store, but appointed a manager to manage it on her behalf, and she could collect money while lying at home every day.
Therefore, even if Hu Hailan didn't go out for a month, he didn't make a fuss, after all, it wasn't once or twice.
When I heard this, I admitted that poverty really limited my imagination, no wonder those rich people are pot-bellied, no way, people are too rich, lying in bed for a month, there are also people waiting to eat, serve and drink, how can we be miserable, not to mention that we have not slept well for three consecutive days, and until now in the morning, we have not had time to eat a grain of rice.
I sighed, fantasizing about when I would be able to live in this house, and came to the great mahogany door and rang the doorbell that had been set up beside it.
But when I went to the door, I found it hidden.
"Excuse me, is anyone here? I'm a household registration policeman, and I'm here to investigate the household registration information. I gently pushed the door back, only to find that there was no light in the room, and the whole room was quiet, in stark contrast to the bright sun outside.
Because that case was 20 years ago, even if that case had something to do with Jiang Zhicheng, it would have passed the prosecution period, not to mention, I didn't have the right to participate in the case that year, so I could only use my identity as a police officer to cover it up, hoping to put something out of Hu Hailan's mouth.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?"
After I didn't respond to the first question, I nudged open the door, and then walked through the entrance, only to find that in front of the entrance, there was a pair of colorful cloth shoes, which were obviously a little out of place with this villa.
"Anyone?"
When I asked for the third time, a miserable white and weak face instantly poked out from the kitchen on the side, because the entrance was too far away from the kitchen, and I only saw a white head suddenly come out.
"Who ......" When I reacted, I suddenly frowned and shouted loudly.
The man seemed to be frightened by me, and immediately turned on the kitchen with the light on and asked me who I was.
When the kitchen door was opened, I could see through the light of the kitchen that it was a middle-aged woman about 1.65 meters tall, she was a little chubby, wearing a colorful cotton jacket on her upper body, a pair of suit pants on her lower body, and a pair of slippers on her feet that looked like a hotel.
According to the age, this Hu Hailan should be about the same age as her, but looking at the clothes, she should not be Hu Hailan.
If nothing else, just because Hu Hailan opened a cosmetics store by herself, a woman who knows how to run a cosmetics store, even if she is a clerk, knows how to maintain and put on makeup, and the woman standing at the door of the kitchen is like a housewife.
Maybe others will, but Hu Hailan, absolutely not.
"Hello, I'm a new household registration policeman, I'm here today, to check the household registration information with the head of the household, may I ask, is the owner of this house there?" I walked in slowly, and took out my police ID card, and when I walked in front of the woman, she glanced at the ID in my hand, and then relaxed her vigilance and said let me sit in the living room for a while, and she went upstairs to call the hostess down.
I nodded, and instead of sitting down, I walked back to the door and turned on the lights in the room at the entrance.
Yes, I can't think about what kind of family this is, when the light is turned on, my eyes are about to be blinded, the lamp hanging on the ceiling flashes my eyes hurt, not because the light is on, but because the center of the ceiling made of pure gold is inlaid with dozens of finger-sized diamonds, under the illumination of the light, the flash is called a particularly conspicuous.
"Oh, this officer, don't turn on the light, Ms. Hu doesn't like the light, she always says that the light is particularly dazzling, but because she bought it when her husband was there, she was reluctant to change it, so she has been hanging it here, so she has to see that my bowl of rice can't be saved." β
Just as I looked up and admired all the magnificence here, the nanny who had gone upstairs saw me turn on the light, and a spirit, immediately walked downstairs quickly, and turned off the light in front of me.
I nodded, didn't say anything more, just sat back down silently on the couch in the middle of the living room under the watchful eye of the nanny.
Starting from the entrance, the floor is all made of solid wood, and looking at the gloss of the floor, I am afraid that it is waxed once every three days.
I glanced left and right, this living room is very large, echoing the second floor and the third floor, as soon as I look up, you can see the railing upstairs, and the third floor should be a compartment similar to a hanging garden, the roof here is two-layered, one is transparent, one is solid, and above the transparent layer, there are all kinds of potted plants, it seems that this Hu Hailan should be particularly fond of flowers.
I used my phone to light around and looked around, and suddenly, I saw something similar to a shrine, I looked back at the second floor, and saw that the nanny did not come down, so I stood up and slowly walked to the shrine with my phone to take a look.
There are seven tablets on the shrine, one of which is engraved with Jiang Zhicheng's name, and the other six tablets, let alone the name, do not even have a word.
In front of the tablet, there is a fist-sized incense burner, look at the incense ashes in the incense burner, these tablets should have been placed here for many years.
But what surprised me a little was that among these tablets, in addition to Jiang Zhicheng's tablet, the other six tablets looked very new, I tried to take out one of the nameless tablets and take a look, there were no traces of smoke all year round, and Jiang Zhicheng's tablets were extremely smooth, and the edges of the tablets even appeared a trace of smoky yellow.
"Ma'am...... Mrs. Jiang ......"
I stood in front of the tablet and pondered for five or six minutes, and listened to the nanny upstairs shouting Mrs. Jiang all the time, so I put down the tablet and followed upstairs to see what was going on.
When I went up to the second floor, I saw the nanny standing at the door of the first room on the second floor, knocking on the door and shouting at the door.
"What's wrong?" I asked, standing at the top of the stairs, confused.
At this time, the nanny also seemed to be a little anxious, saying that she kept knocking on the door after she went upstairs, but no one inside answered, and no one opened the door for her.
"Are you sure Mrs. Jiang didn't go out?" I asked in a whisper as I walked to the door, reached out and knocked on the door.
The nanny nodded, saying that Mrs. Jiang has been in a bad mood recently, and always says that there are people outside who are following her, or that there are unclean things at home, so for the sake of this family's popularity, she paid three times more than the full-time nannies outside to let the nanny, who was originally only used once a week, come over every day to clean and cook for her, if she needs to go out one day, then she will definitely notify the nanny to let her not use it today, but no, the nanny still comes as always, and she still stays in her room as always, until the nanny leaves, will not come out to eatγ
This thing is also quite new, I have heard for the first time that the owner asked the nanny to cook, and he didn't show up once, what's the matter, she has to avoid the nanny when she eats? Is this nanny too ugly and affects her appetite?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the nanny in front of me again, ugly? This nanny has nothing to do with ugliness, right? At most, she is just a little fatter.
"Have you all been like this before? she stayed in the room when you came over?" I asked in a low voice, standing in the doorway.
"Oh, don't ask so much, help me see what happened to Mrs. Jiang first. "The nanny was a little anxious, and she grabbed the handle of the door and wanted to go in, but the door was locked, and we could only enter if it was opened from the inside.
I also think it's a little strange, even if Hu Hailan is behind her ear, she should have heard it when we knocked so loudly, right?
Suddenly, a terrifying thought came to my mind......
Won't it ......
Thinking of this, I jerked my head up, stopped the nanny aside, and then raised my leg and slammed the door of the room, which I probably couldn't afford for a year's salary.
The next scene made the nanny next to me scream in the echoing room, and I was swayed by the smell of Fulmarin in the room, and the stomach acid rolled out one after another.
