The person who opened the door to them was a middle-aged woman in her early forties, who looked a little listless, and was a little wary at the beginning, even after seeing Dai Xu and Fang Yuan's documents, she was not very comfortable inviting them into the house to talk, and even if she stood at the door and had a simple chat, she was not particularly reluctant, and insisted on going upstairs to see if something was really going on in the neighbor's house upstairs. Dai Xu and Fang Yuan couldn't stop her, they could only remind her not to go into the house, after all, it was the scene, and she didn't touch anything with her hands, and the body hadn't been transported away, hoping that she wouldn't try to watch the excitement, so as not to be unnecessarily frightened.

The middle-aged woman was also skeptical at first, and deliberately locked the door of the house, so she followed Dai Xu and Fang Yuan upstairs to have a look, but when she got upstairs, she didn't need to get close to the door, just seeing the staff who were busy taking pictures and collecting evidence inside, as well as Dai Xu, who greeted them naturally, the middle-aged woman understood everything, and suddenly her face turned white, her body swayed, and she looked like she was about to fall down at any time, which frightened Fang Yuan and Dai Xu, and there was no choice but to support her, Sent her back to the house downstairs, opened the door and helped her into the living room to sit, and sat down by the way, waiting for her to regain her composure before understanding the situation.

Because it is upstairs and downstairs, so the layout of the two houses is exactly the same, but although the furniture downstairs is also very simple, there are not many things, but it does look like a living person, there is a simple fabric sofa in the living room, as well as two chairs, and a folding dining table. Fang Yuan settled the middle-aged woman on the sofa. I poured her a glass of water from the cold water cup on the dining table and handed it to her hand, and then she and Dai Xu sat on the two chairs on the side very consciously, waiting for the other party to calm down.

The middle-aged woman seemed to be startled by the fact that the upstairs of her house had suddenly become the scene of the crime. His face was pale, his lips were bloody, his hand holding the cup was trembling constantly, his eyes were a little distracted, and he was swaying back and forth in his sockets, as if he was a little upset and couldn't give up.

Fang Yuan felt that this person didn't look like he was simply taken aback. It seems that there is something on his mind, but why does he look preoccupied after seeing the situation upstairs? She couldn't help but be a little curious. I secretly guessed in my heart whether this woman would have anything to do with the deceased upstairs.

There was silence for about five minutes, and just when Fang Yuan couldn't help but want to take the initiative to break the silence, the middle-aged woman suddenly burst into tears. Fang Yuan and Dai Xu were taken aback.

"Why is my life so miserable!" She cried and slapped her thigh with her hand. The water cup in the other hand also shook because of such a large movement, and the water in the cup was spilled, spilled on the middle-aged woman's pants and the fabric sofa under her, she seemed to be unaware, just crying and muttering, "I finally have a place to stay, I moved out of such a good home and moved to live in such a bad place." It's already aggrieved enough, it's uncomfortable enough. Why did I still encounter such a thing now! There's a dead person upstairs, so how can I live! Where am I going if I don't live here? God, what did I do in my last life, you want to torture me like this! What can I do? ”

She was crying here, Fang Yuan and Dai Xu were confused, and finally heard what she was talking about vaguely from her whimpering crying, and then slowly figured out some things, it turned out that the middle-aged woman's surname was Zhang, a native of City A, originally lived in the city with her in-laws and husband, and the original conditions of the family were average, she and her husband did not have a house, so they squeezed together with their in-laws. The family happily moved in, and after that, she and her husband have not been working well, because of this, the two began to quarrel and friction frequently, and in the end, the relationship became worse and worse, and finally went to court.

After the divorce, because the house she lived in before was her in-laws' from beginning to end, Ms. Zhang and her husband both belonged to the in-laws' house, so the house could not be divided as the joint property of the husband and wife after marriage, Ms. Zhang had to take her personal belongings and divided savings belongings, moved out of the former in-laws' house, because there was no place to stay, she had to turn to her mother's relatives, fortunately, one of her sisters had such an idle old house at home, waiting for demolition, no one lived, and it was empty. I gave her the key and let her move in, so she moved here, she quit her job before the divorce, and after the divorce, she moved here for more than three months, because she was in a bad mood and didn't want to find a job in a hurry, so she stayed at home all day. Originally, I planned to calm down and adjust my state, so I lived here first, and then went to the neighborhood to find out if there was a nearby job, but I didn't expect that before she could adjust, something happened to the neighbor's house upstairs.

"When I think of the house above my head, there have been deaths, how dare I live here, I was very timid when I was a child, and I had to sleep badly for days when people told a ghost story!" This Ms. Zhang sobbed and wiped her eyes while complaining to Fang Yuan and Dai Xu, "But if you don't live here, where will I go?" My parents went early, and my brothers and sisters also have their own families, so it's not convenient for me to go anywhere! Oh my God, this is just kidding me, I really don't know what to do! ”

Fang Yuan and Dai Xu glanced at each other, they were a little helpless, because the neighbor upstairs had a murder, so they didn't dare to live alone here, this mood is understandable, and this Sister Zhang's situation is indeed a little difficult, it's a pity that this is not within their ability, the question they are most concerned about at the moment is who lives in the family upstairs, at this point, this Sister Zhang, who has lived here for three or four months, basically stays at home except for the occasional grocery shopping, It's better for them. A person who prefers to stay home quietly may be more sensitive to the movements of their upstairs neighbors.

The only problem is that asking now may provoke Sister Zhang's dissatisfaction. Even if she really knew something, she was angry and didn't want to say anything, it was just as difficult, so she could only listen patiently to her crying, complaining, and then ask questions when she calmed down a little.

This eldest sister Zhang cried and complained for a long time. From my unhappy career to the hardships and hard work after marriage, I recalled the happy life after moving into a spacious and bright new house. As soon as he compared the current situation, he cried again, and then he couldn't help but take out his mobile phone, and he didn't even care about the two strange policemen who avoided Dai Xu and Fang Yuan. made a direct call to her divorced ex-husband. Crying so much, he was extremely aggrieved and told him about his desperate situation, what the ex-husband on the other side of the phone said, Dai Xu and Fang Yuan had no way of knowing, they only knew that Sister Zhang's emotions had slowly calmed down, although it was not enough to burst into laughter, but there was obviously a tendency for the clouds to disperse, and it took about three or two minutes. She answered a few times and hung up. When I hung up the phone, the whole person stabilized.

"Even this dead man still has a conscience, knowing that I have lived with him for more than 20 years, having children, taking care of housework, and having a lot of hard work, as soon as I heard that I am encountering such a thing now, I said that I don't care about anything else, and I will take a taxi to pick me up and go back to live at home in a while." Sister Zhang's red eyes that were crying just now have not yet been swollen, but her tone has turned from worry to joy, she has no worries, and she has been cared for by her ex-husband, she seems to feel very satisfied in her heart, and she also has the heart to respond to Dai Xu and them, "By the way, what are you looking for me?" ”

"It's about your upstairs neighbor, and we want to ask, do you know anything about your upstairs family?" Fang Yuan was sure that this Elder Sister Zhang had indeed calmed down, so he asked.

"I don't know the people upstairs, I haven't even seen them, I know that the people who live upstairs should have moved after I moved in, the house is rented, people haven't seen it, that is, the landlord of that house is ready to rent out before the house, come to clean up the house, just met my sister came to see how I live here, my sister seems to know the landlord of the house upstairs, met in the corridor and chatted a few words, came in and told me that the house was rented out upstairs, I don't know what the quality of the people who rent the house is, In case if you are particularly immoral, particularly noisy, or if there is any heating running water, bathroom, kitchen running water, etc., let me not go to people to say, I am afraid that I will be alone, and the other party will suffer if I don't know what the way to come, and say that if there is really something, tell her, she will help me find the landlord of that household. Sister Zhang recalled, and said the situation she could provide, "Seriously, I was also very worried at the time, this is not the door or downstairs or the like, what is the quality of the upstairs neighbor, this is really important, in case I encounter the kind of immorality, tinkling in the house in the middle of the night, I am really crazy, I haven't slept a few nights after the divorce, and then I was tossed out of neurasthenia." It turned out that I was also redundant, and the upstairs house was as if it didn't exist, and it was usually quiet, and if I hadn't heard the sound of going up the stairs in the corridor sometimes, I would have been able to think that the house upstairs was completely empty, as if no one had lived there. ”

"Do you know how many renters there are upstairs?" Dai Xu asked.

Sister Zhang shook her head: "I really don't know this, I feel that there should be quite few people, no matter how much you control it, it is impossible to be so quiet and have no movement, right?" Anyway, this kind of old building, the poor condition is a little worse, but compared to the current new building, the floor is thick, so the sound insulation is a little better, I usually can't hear the sound of people walking upstairs, occasionally once or twice, just in the last one or two months, I have vaguely heard the sound of someone talking, but I can't hear what is said, I can only hear the man talking, not like a phone call, like two people face to face so chat. ”

"Are you sure it's two men?" As soon as Dai Xu heard this, he immediately asked, "Then you can't hear what these two people are talking at all?" Or if you can't hear the content clearly, what about the tone and intonation? ”

"I really can't hear the content clearly, and I don't have a clairvoyance," Sister Zhang was a little helpless when asked by Dai Xu, "There must be two men, the women's voices are sharper than the men's, you can hear it as soon as you hear it, you can't be wrong." Tone of voice...... What do you want me to say about this, I'm not the kind of expert, and I can judge what emotions and inner world, anyway, I'm listening, it should be the person who lives upstairs who brought someone back, and what the two of them said is definitely not particularly ordinary, either happy, or unhappy, anyway, with emotions. Of course, this is also what I guess, I just think that most of the time the house is quiet, even if someone goes upstairs, it is a person's footsteps, and there is no one to speak, occasionally there is one more person to speak, that must be to bring a friend back, when the two of them talk, it is also a person whose voice is a little higher, and he can hear what he says clearly The tone is a little emotional, and the other one is calmer, and the voice is relatively low, so it is even more inaudible. Anyway, both of them are men, and I can be absolutely sure that I am a woman myself, and women usually speak regardless of the thickness of their voices, if they are really angry or too happy, the tone will rise all of a sudden, and it is impossible not to hear it. Girl, you're also a woman, do you think that's the truth? ”

As she spoke, she threw the question to Fang Yuan, who was taking notes on the side.

After hearing this, Fang Yuan smiled at her and nodded, remembering that the deceased found in the bathroom upstairs had been smashed beyond recognition, so he took the opportunity to ask again, "That's really the case." When you hear someone go upstairs, have you ever seen what the people living upstairs look like in the door mirror? ”

"Oh, what are you talking about," Sister Zhang hurriedly waved her hand when she heard Fang Yuan ask, "One is that I have been in a bad mood because of the divorce before, and I don't have the heart to take care of other things, I don't hide it from you, I regret this marriage and divorce a little, it was all some trivial things at the beginning, and when I got there, my head was hot and I yelled that it was divorced, and I didn't think it was worth it after I really left, so I regretted it all day long, how could I have the heart to take care of other things." Again, when I heard a little noise, I leaned on the door to peek at who was going up and down outside, so didn't I become a [river crab]! (To be continued.) )
