Chapter 42 The Old Woman Under the Streetlight Gets Out of the Bed The Dead Man

"When you say that, have you ever considered the feelings of other people's forests?" Pei Feng was attacked collectively, and he was speechless for a while, but fortunately he saw Lin Jinghao sitting there watching him.

"Hey, hey, let's not engage in life attacks at every turn. Actually, I think there is still a big suspicion in this case. "Being pulled by Pei Feng to do a 'cushion', Lin Jinghao could only cough dryly twice, and quickly found a topic to diverge.

"What's the doubt?" As soon as he talked about doubts, Gu Qing immediately quieted down.

"Say it." Gu Qing looked directly at Lin Jinghao with her hot eyes, making Lin Jinghao speechless for a while.

"Miss Gu, you are staring at our Lin Suo with this kind of eyes, what do we Lin Suo say? I don't know and I think you..."

"You, what you? Big tree, you are looking for death! Gu Qing was stunned for a moment before she realized that Da Shu was teasing her, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Another thing is that Lin Xue is not a left-hander, why did she use her left hand, which she is not good at, to cut her right wrist with a blade?" Lin Jinghao said as he used his left hand on his right wrist and made a pulse-cutting motion.

"Yes, Pei Feng, you can use your fallacy to explain this new doubt raised by Lin." Gu Qing is now "supported by someone", and she pointed the finger at Pei Feng again.

"This," Pei Feng really couldn't answer for a while.

"Okay, detectives, can you stop having nothing to do, the forensic examination of people has written that it is basically considered a suicide, you don't want to solve the case and become addicted." If you really want to solve the case, I have a case here, it was just reported to the police by the masses, which of you is going? The instructor walked in with the report and threw it directly on the table.

"What case? Let me see. Pei Feng was the first to grab it.

"A two-story red brick building in Wangjia Village emits a foul smell, and there is only an elderly couple in the house, and I wonder if someone has died." Pei Feng read out loud while looking at the report record.

"What village are you talking about?" Lin Jinghao was shocked when he heard this, isn't Wangjia Village the village where the old woman lives under the street lamp?

"Wangjia Village is the village that is being demolished." Pei Feng replied.

Lin Jinghao's head 'buzzed', and a bad premonition struck. The old woman's smile appeared in front of him again, and he seemed to see her hobbling to the front of the second floor again, and suddenly disappeared into thin air.

"Lin Suo, Lin Suo, you don't know anyone there, do you?" The big tree called Lin Jinghao's name twice in a row, and finally pulled him back from his memories.

"Give me the specific address, I'll take a look." Lin Jinghao stood up, hoping that the truth would not be what he imagined.

"We'll go too." Pei Feng and Gu Qing glanced at each other and replied at the same time.

As soon as he got into the police car, Lin Jinghao sat directly in the driver's seat and started the car, and it could be seen that he couldn't wait to fly over immediately.

The informant is Zhang Ping, an employee of the Limin Demolition Company, who said that he has been discussing the details of the demolition with the old couple, but the talks did not go very well, and in the end, the old man simply refused to let him in. This morning he wanted to talk to the old man again, but as soon as he opened the door, a foul smell wafted out, and when he knocked on the door, they wouldn't open the door, so he called the police. He wondered if someone had already had an accident at home. After Gu Qing finished reading the report information, Lin Jinghao didn't say a word, but continued to drive the car fast. This was the first time Gu Qing saw Lin Jinghao's face with such an anxious expression.

"Lin Suo, I think the demolition company may be reporting a false case, we have also encountered this situation before, the two sides can't get along, one party is not allowed to enter the house, and the other party will call the police to make trouble. In fact, they just want to scare those demolition households and make them feel bad. Seeing the expression on Lin Jinghao's face, Pei Feng found a topic to comfort him.

Sure enough, it was the two-story red brick building that Lin Jinghao sent the old woman home, and the policeman Zhang Ping was already waiting outside. Lin Jinghao and the three got out of the car, and Zhang Ping greeted them directly.

"You called the police?"

"Yes, as soon as I knocked on the door in the morning, the old man opened the door a crack, and the smell almost didn't smoke me, I suspect that there must be something in this room that has been dead for a long time."

"Pei Feng, go take a look." This was the first time Lin Jinghao had come here in broad daylight, and he looked around. The surrounding houses have almost been demolished, and only a few remain, still standing upright.

"The old couple of this family, how can they say that they refuse to move out, saying that they have to wait for their son to come back, you say, living in a new house, waiting for their son to come back is not the same?" Gu Qing was making a note of Zhang Ping.

"Lin Suo, that old man just doesn't want to open the door, there is indeed a smell in the house." Pei Feng came back, with a look of helplessness on his face.

Lin Jinghao withdrew his gaze, glanced at Pei Feng, and raised his legs towards the red gate.

Just as he was about to raise his hand and knock on the door, the door creaked open, and a thin and withered old man appeared in front of the door.

"Boss Lin, you're finally here, did Hanwa come back with you?" A foul smell wafted out, causing Lin Jinghao to frown. The room was dim, lit only by a small light bulb.

"Uncle, I'm not a boss, I'm a policeman, can we go in and have a look?"

Lin Jinghao gradually adapted to the darkness in the house, all the windows were closed, and the thick curtains were drawn.

"Come in, I'm going to call my old woman to dinner, have you eaten?" The old man turned and walked into the house.

There is nothing in the house, just a simple white cover, which can be said to be 'four walls'. In the living room on the entire first floor, there is only an old dining table that has been used for an unknown number of years, and it looks like the paint is falling off; There were also two square benches that didn't look very solid, on either side of the table, on which lay a bowl of noodles that was still steaming. In the bedroom next to the living room, there was a double bed with a white mosquito net, and there seemed to be a person sleeping on the bed.

"The old woman told me last night that she met Boss Lin outside, and he will definitely come to see us in the next two days, but I didn't expect you to really come."

"Old woman, get up and eat, Boss Lin is here." The old man chattered and called out to the old woman on the bed in the house.

"She's been sick for the past few days, and she hasn't eaten, and I don't know if she can wait until her son comes back." The old man spoke, and there was a cry in his voice.

"Uncle, can I go in and see my mother-in-law?" Lin Jinghao's eyes stayed in the bedroom, because the smell came from there.

"Okay, I'll take you in." The old man glanced back at Lin Jinghao, turned around and walked tremblingly in front.

"Uncle, can you pull the curtain back a little?"

"Don't pull, the old woman is afraid of the light." The old man flatly refused.

Walking into the house, the smell became even greater, Lin Jinghao couldn't help but wrinkle his nose, and Gu Qing and the three of them covered their mouths and noses. But the old man seemed to have long been accustomed to it, and he went straight to the bed.

"Old woman, someone has come to see you." The old woman on the bed didn't move, nor did she give a hint of response.

Lin Jinghao took a closer look, the old woman under the street lamp was lying on the small bed of the two, covered with a quilt, only one head was exposed, and her gray hair was scattered, covering her entire face, only her mouth and nose were exposed.

"I'm sorry, the old woman has been sick for the past few days, and she hasn't gotten out of bed to dress up, so she can't see anyone." As he spoke, the old man reached out lovingly and brushed the hair from the old woman's face.

"She's dead!" Zhang Ping's frightened cry came from behind Lin Jinghao, and a face as pale as a dead man appeared on the small bed.

"Don't talk nonsense, the old woman is not dead yet, he still has to wait for his son to come back, Boss Lin, don't you say?" The old man was not frightened by Zhang Ping's voice, he turned his head to look at Lin Jinghao, his face full of blame.

"Yes, Gu Qing, you take Zhang Ping out, and call 120 to call an ambulance by the way."

"What is the ambulance called, my old woman doesn't go to the hospital, she has to wait for his son to come back." As soon as the old man heard that the ambulance was in a hurry, he rushed over and grabbed Lin Jinghao's hands, his eyes full of pleading.

"Uncle, Hanwa's mother is sick like this, if you don't send her to the hospital, if Hanwa comes back, won't you blame you?" Lin Jinghao looked at the old man holding back the tears in his eyes, he didn't know why, and now his heart was full of sadness.

"Yes, you're right, Hanwa will blame me when she comes back, old woman, then we'll listen to Boss Lin and go to the hospital." The old man went to the bed again and sat down, and he stretched out his hand and stroked the old woman's pale face gently, lest he would wake her up.

"Let's go out first." Lin Jinghao glanced back at Pei Feng, who was standing there motionless, he seemed to be stupid by the scene in front of him.

Walking out of the old woman's two-story building, Lin Jinghao took a deep breath, so that he could relax and avoid his uncompetitive tears from falling.

"Lin Suo, is the old woman inside really dead?" Gu Qing walked over and said tremblingly, she seemed to realize that this was a tragedy.

"Lin Suo, should we call Forensic Doctor Xia over?" Pei Feng finally came to his senses.

"No need, just let Forensic Doctor Xia wait in the hospital." Lin Jinghao breathed a long sigh of relief, although he had been mentally prepared, he still couldn't help the grief in his heart.

On the stone pier not far in front of him, he seemed to see the old woman sitting there chatting with him again, and her kind gaze still stayed in his mind.

'At that time, did I see her or her soul...'
