Lao Peng and I went to the top floor, there was a seal on the door of Lao Guo's house, and there was a pot of withered Junzi orchid on the windowsill on the side.

The door was not locked, but it was hidden, and we carefully pushed the door in with a flashlight to enter, and a foul smell of sour and rotten smell rushed to our faces, making people can't help but cover their mouths and noses.

The kitchen is located next to the door, the flashlight is swept, it scares me, the stove is dirty, the smoke smokes the wall black, the grease hangs on the wall, a large number of cockroaches crawl on the pots and pans because of our movements, making people goosebumps, the kitchen is a stinking squatting pit toilet, and you can vaguely hear the sound of water flowing in the sewer.

The floor of the house is an unadorned cement floor, and Lao Guo, a bachelor, has not taken care of it all year round, resulting in a layer of black dirt attached to the cement floor, which looks very dirty.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, a TV cabinet, dining table, sofa and coffee table, in addition to other things are stacked in a mess, there is dust everywhere, many things are very old, there is an old Changhong big belly color TV in the TV cabinet, there are miscellaneous things on the side, there are notched vases, broken photo frames, a glass wine jar, the wine inside is brown, and there are wolfberries, codonopsis and other Chinese medicinal materials, there is an open biscuit iron box on the side of the TV, which contains a thick stack of lottery tickets, there are Fucai two-color balls, There is a sports lottery lotto, it seems that Lao Guo is usually a lottery player.

A fabric sofa was in tatters, the sponge cushions were exposed, there were a lot of old newspapers piled up on the coffee table, all of which were mouse feces, and a large number of lunch boxes and instant noodle boxes were piled on top of it.

There was an iron ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling, the paint was peeling off and rusty, and there was a stool on the ground below the ceiling fan.

It was a one-bedroom room, and I walked from the hall to the bedroom on the side, and the furnishings were simpler, a brown bed, a wardrobe and bedside table, and nothing else, and the smell of smelly clothes and socks was thrown everywhere, and there was a strange smell of fermentation.

I asked Lao Peng what we are looking at, Lao Peng didn't speak, just looked at the compass intently, I noticed that the magnetic needle inside was swinging slightly, as if there was an indication, I asked Lao Peng if there was anything to find in the swing of the magnetic needle.

Lao Peng shook his head and said: "It's nothing, this is the normal swing of the compass magnetic needle sensing the earth's magnetic field, there is indeed yin here, but it is too normal for a house where someone committed suicide to have yin qi, it is a normal phenomenon, the yin qi of this house is not as heavy as the old Ren family, I want to see if the deceased has left any clues that can help resolve his grievances and prompt him to leave, don't talk nonsense, look for it." ”

I nodded, and the two of us split up to find clues, Lao Peng was looking in the back room, and I was looking in the living room, and soon I found some unusual places, only to see the newspaper on the coffee table staying on the police to recognize the body and the abduction and claim news page, all about children, and the phone numbers were circled with ballpoint pens.

I had an epiphany, combined with what Lao Ren said when he met Lao Guo on the rooftop, I probably understood what was going on, Lao Guo's grandson was lost.

Lao Peng also found in the back room, he found a black and white baby photo under the pillow, from the old degree of the photo and the black and white situation, it was a long time ago, the photo was touched white, the back of the photo still has time, June 12, 1998, Xiao Yong's 100-day commemorative photo.

We came to the conclusion that Lao Guo has been living in guilt, and the reason why he committed suicide has a lot to do with his grandson's loss, but soon I felt that something was wrong, I remember that Lao Ren said that when he was idle with Lao Guo on the rooftop, he heard Lao Guo say that his grandson had just been born, and Lao Ren also said that the two grandsons could be playmates in the future, and this photo was taken in 98, the time difference was more than ten years, and the child in the photo must be Lao Guo's grandson, what is going on?

Lao Peng seemed to understand what was going on, and said: "I understand, Lao Guo's grandson is not a recent thing, Lao Guo should be old and have Alzheimer's disease, and his memory is confused." ”

Lao Peng's words suddenly made people pause, really, if it weren't for Alzheimer's memory confusion, who would be so bored to sit on the rooftop and look at the sky in a daze?

We returned to Lao Ren's house, Lao Ren's family has one more person, is a middle-aged man about the same age as Lao Ren, Sister Zhao saw us come back and quickly pulled me over, introduced to me, this person is called Master You, is living in Building No. 3, usually with Lao Ren is a chess friend, every day after dinner will be killed under the tree in the community on a few games, the relationship is very close, Master You's son is a police officer in the police station, Lao Guo's suicide and his son also has a part in dealing with it, just now we asked Lao Ren to inquire about Lao Guo, Lao Ren thought of Master You.

Master You called his son, pressed him as a father, and asked his son to tell him about Lao Guo's situation.

Master You's son said that the cause of Lao Guo's death was not suspicious, that is, suicide, and the police had notified the family, and the family had already claimed the body, and it was Lao Guo's son and daughter-in-law who came to claim Lao Guo's body.

I asked if I could contact Lao Guo's son, and Master You called his son, and when I got Lao Guo's son's phone, I tried to broadcast it, which was a number belonging to Beijing.

The phone rang twice, and Lao Guo's son answered.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I pretended to be a policeman, and I wanted to know more about Lao Guo's suicide because it was suspicious, but Lao Guo's son was very cooperative, and he would answer whatever I asked.

Soon we understand what's going on, according to Lao Guo's son, Lao Guo has a gambling habit, and his family has been very disgusted, and then the state issued a welfare lottery, Lao Guo turned obsessed with the lottery, because the lottery is issued by the state, so Lao Guo has no fear, feel that this is a public welfare, who stops it is against the government, and he got into it at once, and became a sick lottery player, his wife quarreled with Lao Guo more than once because of this, and failed to change Lao Guo.

Later, Lao Guo's grandson was born,Lao Guo's son is very busy doing foreign trade business,No time to take care of the child,Just give the child to the old couple,Lao Guo often takes his grandson to the lottery station to play the lottery,Once in order to hit the lottery before the deadline,He rushed to the lottery shop with his grandson in a hurry,At this time, the lottery shop was crowded with lottery players,Overcrowded,Lao Guo Shou number for many years,If it weren't for the grandson can't leave,He will never be so rushed.
