Chapter Twenty-Four: There Are Eyes Through the Door
Living on the opposite side of the scene is a middle-aged man in his forties, looking at the dress is also the kind of office worker who is more busy and hard, when He Ning and Tang Li bumped into him, he was carrying a large bag of vegetables in his hand, and he struggled to free out a hand to touch the key to open the door.

He ignored He Ning and them, but He Ning and the others had to pay attention to him, and finally saw the neighbor, and the neighbor who was directly opposite the door at the scene came back, how could He Ning, who had been tossing for most of the day, miss such an opportunity. She hurriedly walked over and took the initiative to greet the middle-aged man, who stopped his steps to enter the door, turned around slightly vigilantly to look at He Ning, and then looked at the tonic behind He Ning.
"Who are you looking for?" he asked, unsure whether his original judgment was correct.
He Ning took out his ID and showed it to the middle-aged man, and smiled at him: "We are from the criminal police team of the Public Security Bureau of A City, you are a resident of this house, right?
"I ...... This is a rented house," the middle-aged man said with a slightly nervous expression when answering this question, "I haven't lived here for too long, it's less than three years, what's wrong?"
Less than three years?As soon as He Ning heard this time, his spirit immediately lifted a little more, about three years is just enough to cover the death time of the male corpse, so is it possible that this neighbor who has been living here during this time happens to notice something that can help them in their investigation?
"That's right, we want to ask you about the situation, your neighbor to the door, not to say that he lives now, but all the neighbors who have lived here during the time you have lived here, do you have any impression? Can you talk to us about the family on the other side?" He Ning asked for his consent.
The middle-aged man hesitated, the green vegetables in his hand seemed to be a little heavy, and his fingers were purple, so he didn't hesitate for too long, although he was a little reluctant, he finally nodded, opened the door and said to He Ning and Tang Li: "Then you come in, sit in the living room for a while, I'll put the things down first." β
After saying that, he hurriedly carried the vegetables into the house and went straight to the kitchen, He Ning and Tang Li followed closely into the door, and after closing the door for the middle-aged man, they stood in the living room. The layout of the house here is exactly the same as the scene, but the direction is just the opposite, the conditions in the room are more simple, there are many cracks on the tiles on the ground, there is only a small dining table in the living room, two or three plastic chairs, and there are a few used dishes on the small dining table, greasy and dirty, and the air is also filled with a mixed smell of food.
The middle-aged man took the vegetables into the kitchen, then turned back and hurriedly cleaned up the dishes on the small dining table, and threw them into the kitchen sink, then wiped his hands and returned to the living room, the expression on his face was full of embarrassment, he smiled and said to He Ning and Tang Li: "I live alone, I am usually very busy at work, and I can't take care of it, so the house is a little messy, you ...... I'm going to make you laugh!"
Tonic didn't say anything, He Ning said that it was understandable, the middle-aged man was a little relieved from that crampedness, opened his mouth to introduce himself, said that his name is Ding Siyuan, Siyuan of drinking water Siyuan, this year is exactly forty years old, the home is from the field, the wife and children are also in the field, he stayed in City A because of work, although his hometown and City A are not too far away, but the family wants to live together is still more troublesome, originally he lived in the collective dormitory provided by the factory where he worked, but then considering that his wife sometimes has to bring children to come to see him, if he stays in the dormitory, his wife and children have to spend money to go out to live in a hotel, simply moved out by himself and rented a small house, so that his wife and children could have a convenient place to live at any time.
When it came to his wife and children, Ding Siyuan was still a little unable to stop the brakes, looking happy, He Ning reminded him several times by clearing his throat, and he suddenly realized that the two policemen were here to learn about the situation from him, instead of listening to him say how cute his children were and how virtuous his wife was, so he hurriedly stopped his words, smiled a little embarrassedly at the two people in front of him, and waited for them to speak.
"Brother Ding, we want to ask, do you have an impression of who lived in your house not long after you moved here?"
Ding Siyuan was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "I shouldn't be impressed, I'm very busy at work, because the house here is cheaper than the one next to my unit, so the distance is a little farther, I usually go out early and return late, except for weekend rest or when my wife and children come, I ask for leave and make up for leave, otherwise there are not many times at home." What's wrong? What's going on on the other side? To be honest, I'm still a little puzzled, these two days, I used to live there there should be a young man, right? In three days, a friend came to look for him, anyway, it was much more lively than mine, but I didn't hear any movement next door in the past few days, and I didn't meet that young man much, I thought people couldn't move away again, but you police came to me to inquire about things, I think it might not be like that. β
"'Again' move away?" Thang was slightly interested in Ding Siyuan's wording.
Ding Siyuan nodded: "No, the house opposite, I talked to my landlord when I paid the rent last time, and I don't know what the reason is, the people who live in it always don't live for long, three months and two months, at most half a year to move out and replace people, sometimes I can't rent it out or what, it's so empty, my landlord said that if he is the landlord of the opposite house, it is estimated that he will have to worry to death." β
Listening to this meaning, no matter who the tenants were at that time, the flow of residents in the house at the scene was still relatively frequent, which was not a good thing for He Ning and them.
Ding Siyuan saw that He Ning and the two of them had a somewhat abnormal expression, and couldn't help but ask: "I don't know if I should inquire about this matter, what happened to the other family? Why do you have to have the police come forward?"
"There is a suspected murder in the house opposite. He Ning thought for a moment and replied more tactfully.
When Ding Siyuan heard this, he seemed to be taken aback, gasped, didn't say anything for a long time, and said after a while: "Oh, I didn't even know that such a big thing happened to my family!"
"Do you feel scared and want to move?" After seeing that he came back to his senses, He Ning seemed to be relatively calm, and couldn't help but tease.
Ding Siyuan shook his head decisively: "That's not necessary, I'm a very materialistic person, not to mention that it happened next door, even if it happened in my house, I dare to live like this, people, when they are alive, they are alive, once they die, what is the difference between them and the dead pig and dog, what is there to be afraid of! If there are really ghosts in this world, then so many people have died from ancient times to the present, shouldn't there be more ghosts than people now? β
After saying that, he thought about it, and said as if talking to himself: "But I can't let my wife know about this, she is a timid person, if I tell her that I live next door except for that kind of thing, she shouldn't dare to come!"
"You are quite worried about your wife," He Ning felt that Ding Siyuan's three sentences were inseparable from his wife and children, but the momentum was somewhat similar to his father, when she thought of her father, she suddenly felt a little bad in her heart, and it had been a while since she left City C to come to City A, and she was really a little homesick. But now is of course not the time to be homesick, the current work, no room for desertion, so He Ning quickly retracted his thoughts, and asked Ding Siyuan again, "Then does your wife often come to see you? Is it possible that during the period when she was here with you, she had heard or seen about the neighbor on the other side?"
"I can't guarantee this, my wife takes the child over for a few days every month, if the child is on vacation, stay a little longer, stay for a week, ten days, if the child is not on vacation, they will come to live for a weekend and go back, if I stay for a long time, I work during the day, they are at home, have you seen or heard anything, I don't know, and I didn't hear her. If you don't turn around, I'll help you test the temptation, but don't worry, I don't dare to say it too clearly, for fear of scaring them. Ding Siyuan replied.
There is nothing wrong with this, and he didn't pin much hope on Ding Siyuan's wife, just one more way and a few more possibilities, He Ning nodded and thanked him.
Ding Siyuan and He Ning exchanged a few polite greetings, and soon as they suddenly remembered something, they reached out and patted their heads: "Hey?!I remember something, but I don't know if it's the same time period as what you want to check, so whether it's useful or not, I can't figure it out, do you listen?"
Tang Li nodded and motioned for him to continue, and He Ning also expressed his willingness to hear about it.
Ding Siyuan said the incident he remembered: " I can't remember how long ago it was, one night, I was at home for a good time, was eating in the living room, I heard something outside, it didn't sound right, I quietly went to the door, stuck on the door mirror and peeked out, only to see a man with his back to my direction, poking the door opposite with something, there was a thing in his pocket like a wrench or something, I thought it was a thief, I was wondering whether to call the police, someone in the opposite room asked what to do, the man immediately said that he had found the wrong people, turned around and leftγ Isn't there something wrong with that, you say? I don't think the man looks like a thief stepping on it. β
