Chapter 29: Unbelievable
The appearance of opium paste cast a dark shadow on this case, and then thinking of the jade ornament and Wang Laohan's expression at the beginning, people can't help but suspect that Wang Ping may really have something to do with Xu Jia...... And the reason why Wang Ping regretted her marriage at that time was actually because of this? But even then, this is nothing more than speculation......
Now if he wants to confirm his guess, he can only go to Wang Laohan, but when he thinks of this, Shen Huan can't bear it...... An old and frail old man who suffered the double blow of losing his wife and children in his early years, and now he asks again, this is undoubtedly another stab in the old man's heart...... However, just when he was at a loss, Shen Huan suddenly thought of someone......
As soon as the morning dawned, the neighbor of the Wang family got up early, and his legs were still a little weak after being tossed by his own tigress for a night, but even so he still had to get up to carry water and chop wood, no way, who let him die badly and marry such a fierce wife......
Carrying two empty buckets to open the door, when he opened the door, there were already three people standing in front of his house outside the door, and the neighbors of the Wang family took a closer look and it turned out to be Shen Huan and them!
"What are the three of you doing so early today?" The Wang neighbor asked suspiciously.
Shen Huan said with a smile: "I'm here to ask my eldest brother about something."
"Childe, I've told you everything I know, what else do you want to ask?"
"I want to ask my eldest brother, do you know why Wang Ping regretted her marriage back then?"
Listening to Shen Huan's words, the Wang family's neighbor's face changed, "I'm sorry son, I really don't know about this matter......
"Nope! You know! Otherwise, how could you tell me that Wang Ping had sought death and life for the sake of the marriage contract? You must have heard something! And the unfinished sentence of your daughter-in-law is really meaningful......! The answer of the Wang family's neighbor, Shen Huan had already expected it!
"I really don't know, Childe, you are still ......"
Before the Wang neighbor's words were finished, the quick-tempered Xing Zhutou took a step forward and picked him up, glared at him and said, "Boy! Don't toast or eat! Lao Tzu is not as good at talking as Mr. Shen! If you don't say it here, grandpa, I can take you to the county office and let you say it! ”
"Don't, don't! I said no! After Xing Zhutou was so frightened, the neighbors of the Wang family immediately relented.
Seeing that there was no movement in the house, the neighbor of the Wang family estimated that his tigress was still asleep, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and stepped forward and whispered to Shen Huan and the others: "Actually, this matter is not a secret in our alley, this daughter of the old Wang family looks very serious and beautiful, but in fact she is a broken shoe!" More than ten years ago, Wang Ping, this girl, didn't know what was going on, a very good girl in the past suddenly seemed to be a different person, every day she went out early and returned late, and every time she went out, she would dress up and show off! At the time, we didn't think there was anything, everyone was thinking that maybe the little girl was an adult, so she knew how to dress up, but then we found out that things were not like that! One day, the second dog in our alley happened to meet Wang Ping! This girl was kissing the son of a rich family at the time! At that time, we knew that Wang Ping was stealing people behind Liang Ke's back! At that time, none of us dared to say anything about it, but later, somehow, this matter was still known by Old Man Wang! One night they had a quarrel! I was in the yard at the time, so I heard it very clearly! ”
Shen Huan asked, "What did they say at that time?"
"It's been too long, I can't remember a lot of words, what should be "shameless" and "shameless to my Wang family" and something like that, I vaguely remember that the old man Wang asked Wang Ping at that time, her good name, but the girl was too stubborn, just don't say it! At that time, there was a lot of noise, and I still remember that Old Man Wang seemed to have made a move, and there was a ding-dong sound in the house for a while, breaking a lot of things, and even throwing a basket of eggs outside the door! Just drop it in the place where the boy pees! ”
Following the fingers of the Wang family's neighbors, Shen Huan and Xing Zhutou saw Song Shi who was firing freely under the wall with his firearm......
Finding that they were all looking at him, Song Shi's face was a little red, and he forced himself to finish urinating with embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, I really can't hold it back......"
Looking at the imprints that Song Shi swept, Xing Zhutou glanced at Shen Huan lightly, he remembered the scene when Shen Huan reprimanded them at the scene a few days ago, and at this moment, Xing Zhutou's eyes seemed to say: "Look, no matter who you are, you have the problem of open defecation!" Your brother is no exception! ”
Xing Zhutou's eyes were all seen by Shen Huan, and in the face of this kind of slap in the face, he chose to ignore it, and now he is thinking about another issue......
From the mouths of the neighbors of the Wang family, Shen Huan determined the inside story of Wang Ping's original repentance, and after leaving Kidnapping Alley, they came to Xu Kai's house again.
Sitting down in the living room, Shen Huan said straight to the point: "Brother Xu, we are here to ask you something about Brother Ling, do you know that Brother Ling has a habit of liking to order aromatherapy?"
Shen Huan's question surprised Xu Kai, "How do you know?" That's right! My second brother really likes to do some aromatherapy! However, the fragrance he ordered was not the sandalwood that we often use to repel mosquitoes, nor the expensive ambergris, but a special incense! He ordered it several times a day! I've smelled it a few times before, and the fragrance is very special, and it really makes people feel more refreshed after lighting it! ”
"Did he have this habit before?"
"No, he only had this hobby a year before his accident."
"Then do you know where Brother Ling got this incense?" Shen Huan asked again.
"I asked, and he said it was given to him by a friend, and since my second brother disappeared, I still miss the taste for a while, and I have asked people to go out to look for it, but unfortunately I have never found where to sell it."
"Do you see it's like this?"
took out the piece of opium paste from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table, Xu Kai stepped forward and just sniffed it lightly and recognized that this was the special incense that his younger brother Xu Jia would light every day!
Leaving the Xu family, the three of them walked on the road, looking at Shen Huan, who had been in deep thought, Xing Zhutou and Song Shi were very puzzled, Shen Huan's actions today made the two of them really incomprehensible, they always felt that the direction of the investigation had deviated from the root of this case......
As if hearing the voices of the two, Shen Huan asked them, "You should be thinking that this thing we investigated doesn't seem to have anything to do with this case, right?" In fact, this thing may have a huge connection with this case! It may even be the cause of this series of tragic events......"
Unconsciously, the three of them walked to the kidnapping alley again, it was still early, Liang Ke came to Wang Laohan's house to serve him as usual, today Wang Laohan seemed to have pulled his pants, and Liang Ke was washing it with water again and again outside......
Looking at Liang Ke's meticulous eyes, Shen Huan was very emotional, even in the 21st century, how many people at home will take the initiative to help people clean their pants after pulling their pants? Even if you use adult diapers, your own children can't help frowning and feeling disgusting when they help their parents change their clothes!
Even Shen Huan himself was the same, when his grandfather was seriously ill in bed, he didn't even dare to touch it! During his time with him, he called a nurse to help solve every change of washing! His own relatives are still like this, let alone a father-in-law in name only?
Thinking of this, Shen Huan seemed to be a little hesitant and asked Xing Zhutou: "Have you checked Wang Ping's interpersonal relationships at the beginning?" Did you spot any suspicious characters? ”
"Nope! On the day of the crime, they were either at home, or out to the market, or they went to other places, and they also had witnesses around them, and they did not have time to commit the crime that night. Xing Zhutou replied truthfully.
"Alas......" After listening to Xing Zhutou's words, Shen Huan let out a long sigh, but this long sigh contained too many emotions......
…………
The sky gradually darkened, and the autumn rain that had stopped from time to time showed a hint of clearing. The moonlight tonight is very beautiful, there are hardly any clouds in the sky, and the white moonlight shines on the sky, giving people the illusion that the sky is blue......
At ten o'clock in the middle of the night, the moon was empty, and in the depths of Gujia Lane, a house was brightly lit, and there was no intention of extinguishing it at all, as if it was waiting for someone's return......
Perhaps it was this kind of light that pointed out the way forward for Xing Zhutou and them, and they hurried to the door of this family, which was the moment that he and his master Lan Shiguang had been waiting for for more than ten years! However, when he actually came here and wanted to kick the door open, he hesitated......
The movement and bright torches in the alley alarmed every household in Gujia Lane, and it seemed that the owner of this family also alarmed...... It didn't take long for the door of this family to be opened by the owner, as if to welcome Xing Zhutou and them......
As Xing Zhutou entered the courtyard and looked at the things drying on the bamboo sieve in the courtyard, Shen Huan couldn't help frowning, and then the things he found in the master bedroom made him feel deeply disappointed......
In the master bedroom, five women's costumes are neatly hung on the beams, and if you don't know who their owners are, many people may think that this is probably the home of an ordinary tailor......
Looking at the man sitting on the bed quietly admiring the clothes, Shen Huan sighed and asked, "Why don't you run?"
"I don't want to run anymore, I'm tired too...... To tell you the truth, I knew that this day was not far away the moment I knew that you were coming to me, Childe, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon...... But that's fine...... This incident has tormented me for the rest of my life, and I am really tired......"
Looking at Liang Ke with a relieved face, Shen Huan and Xing Zhutou had mixed feelings in their hearts...... Even now, they can't believe that what they are seeing is real......
