Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps behind him, Qi Yuan frowned, looked back suddenly, and saw a woman in her early twenties who had gone up the stairs, walking up.

As if taken aback by his gaze, the woman paused, swallowed her saliva, and whispered, "That...... Officer, I'm the youngest sister in the family, see ...... When I saw you coming up, I ...... I just wanted to ask if there was anything I could do to help. ”

"Oh?" The corners of Qi Yuan's mouth raised slightly, his serious expression quickly collapsed, and he put on a relatively relaxed smile instead, and said, "What do you call it?" ”

"I ...... My name is Lou Xiuyun. She seemed a little nervous, and she still hadn't recovered yet, and her speech was a little stammering.

"Ms. Lou Xiuyun." Qi Yuan had a smile on his face, beckoned her to come over, and then asked, "How many brothers are there in your generation?" ”

"Three, the eldest brother is the oldest, the eldest sister is second, and then I am the next one." She swallowed again before continuing: "I just graduated this year, and I haven't found a good job yet - the employment situation this year is too difficult, and I haven't found a satisfactory one until now. ”

She is slowly getting better, and she speaks a lot more easily.

After a pause, she sighed lightly and sighed: "It's getting more and more difficult year by year, listening to the seniors of the previous sessions, the salary has not risen, but the working hours are increasing every year, and the overtime is getting worse year by year, and there is no overtime pay, the rights and interests of workers are not protected at all, and the relevant laws and regulations are in vain."

Not only that, but I don't know when the bad wind blew up, now those companies not only require working hours to work, but also continue to work when they go home, and they can't wait to let us work him 24 hours a day, if it weren't for the fear that the impact would be too bad, maybe they would let us live in the company. ”

Then she pursed her lips again, shrugged her shoulders and said, "But there is no way, this is a vicious circle." As long as there is a person in the company who struggles to force work time to find nothing to do, and starts to work when he gets off work, and then stays and works overtime, other colleagues will be led by him to be more 'diligent'.

As long as one company works overtime, the bosses of other companies will not be able to do it, and they will look at their employees who leave work on time and how unpleasant they will see, as if their employees have made a big mistake by leaving work on time, and it seems that their company will lose millions if they do not work overtime......

So that's it, everyone TM worked overtime, and then after they all worked overtime, they went one step further, more than anyone worked overtime......

To put it bluntly, it's the stepping effect, police officers, you all know the stepping effect, right?

That is to say, a group of people are watching one thing, and once someone in the front row stands on tiptoe to see a little more, then everyone has to stand on tiptoe in order not to be obscured from view, and in the end, they see as much as before, but it takes a lot more effort.

Isn't this trend just a stepping effect, because of some ......"

As soon as she talked about this topic, not only was she not nervous, but she also talked faster and faster, and Balabala said a lot in one breath, and all kinds of nouns came out of her mouth one after another.

Qi Yuan couldn't help but pout.

Perhaps nowadays, there are indeed many messy problems, and the problems are not small, and these problems have been magnified under the epidemic, becoming worse and more serious, and the majority of employees dare not resign easily, let alone organize the strength to resist the 996 phenomenon......

Even 996 is not only normalized, but also taken for granted.

But Lou Xiuyun, who has never been in contact with work, said this, and what he said was the truth, which inevitably made people feel very ridiculous.

It's like a scumbag clenching his fist in one hand and waving a newspaper vigorously with the other, shouting loudly that reading is useless, and fiercely criticizing exam-oriented education.

Regardless of whether reading is useless or not, regardless of the merits and disadvantages of examination-oriented education, those who fail to master it are not qualified to criticize it.

Because it's not that reading books is useless, it's that they don't have to do it.

What's more, there are a lot of people who can't read well, and there are many people who don't want to read, but after so many years, I really haven't seen a few people regret that they have read.

For Lou Xiuyun, this is true.

A lot of work has indeed been pitted these years, but for Lou Xiuyun, it is not a work pit, and her pressure does not come from work, but from not having a job, and then being magnified anxiety, which resonates with 996 anxiety.

After all, he is a child who thinks very highly of himself.

Qi Yuan shook his head, but he didn't think that he was only one year older than Lou Xiuyun at most.

But the strange thing is that Su Ping did not interrupt Lou Xiuyun, but listened to her very patiently before asking: "So, during this time, have you been staying at your brother and sister-in-law's house?" ”

Lou Xiuyun nodded and said softly: "Well, I've lived here for more than three months - of course I don't eat white food, I also help with the work." ”

She spread her hands as she spoke.

Qi Yuan glanced at it and couldn't help but pout.

Not to mention, these hands are quite good-looking, with fair skin, slender fingers, neat and unmessy palm lines, nail polish, and some rhinestones and small shellfish pasted on them.

At first glance, it is not a working hand.

Coupled with her delicate, white and red face, clean and neat clothes......

Where did she get the face to say she helped with the work?

"Wait!"

Qi Yuan suddenly realized that this Lou Xiuyun, who had just made a tirade, claimed to be "stinky and shameless" at the moment that he had been helping out......

In addition to the fact that Lou Xiuyun's temperament is too bad, is there any other possibility? Say, what is she prompting......

Is it about the intensity of Ning Huayin's work? Or is it implying that Wu Yimei has been subjected to domestic violence?

But as Lou Zhongyun's sister, Lou Xiuyun should be on his side, right? Or is it out of empathy for fellow women? Still is......

No, if Wu Yimei really suffered domestic violence for a long time, Yan Zhongxin would definitely be able to check it out, and at least mention that the victim was scarred and had a lot of old injuries.

But Yan Zhongxin never said a word of these words.

Therefore, the possibility of domestic violence can be ruled out.

And judging from the scene where I just saw Lou Zhongyun comforting her daughter, Lou Zhongyun doesn't look like a domestic abuser, she has a good temper and is quite patient, and her daughter is not afraid of her at all.

In addition to the victim of domestic violence, in fact, the children who witnessed domestic violence are the most stimulated, but judging from the performance of the little girl, she has no fear of her father and can be reasonable, which excludes the possibility of domestic violence.

And although the screams are a bit harsh and instinctively annoying, Qi Yuan can also understand the little girl in that situation, so he still admires the little girl a lot, and thinks she is quite sensible and well-behaved.

After all, when they first arrived, the little girl only sat quietly on the small chair, silently, without saying a word.

So, if it's not domestic violence, what news does Lou Xiuyun want to reveal? Qi Yuan racked his brains and couldn't think of any other possibility.

There was still no idea, Qi Yuan couldn't help but glance at Su Ping, but seeing that Su Ping was also contemplative, he knew that Su Ping might not be able to guess for a while, and he couldn't think of a reason.

After a few seconds, Su Ping frowned and said, "That's it, let's not be on the stairs, let's go in and talk?" ”

"Okay." Lou Xiuyun nodded, she seemed to be getting nervous again.

Walking into the room on the second floor, Lou Xiuyun immediately took the initiative to reach out and point, pointed to the room on the left and said: "This is the master bedroom of my brother and sister-in-law, facing south, with better lighting and an independent bathroom." ”

Then he pointed to the right and said, "This is the guest room, I live here these days, and it has its own bathroom." ”

After speaking, she pointed back to the left side - there were actually three rooms on the left side, and at this time she pointed to the one in the center, and said: "This is a utility room, a balcony for drying clothes, a living balcony, and a gas tank and water heater are placed in this room, and there is a washing machine in it."

The last room is Xiao Yanyan's room, which also has an independent bathroom - Yan Yan is actually very sensible, he lived alone when he was four or five years old, and he would go to the toilet by himself in the middle of the night, never making any noise, and he was very well-behaved. ”

After a pause, she finally pointed to the ceiling, and said: "There is another floor above, but there are only three rooms on the top, all of which are used as guest rooms. ”

It was another tirade, and Balala said a lot, but Qi Yuan still didn't understand what she meant, and he still didn't know what she wanted to hint at.

Su Ping asked: "So, usually only your brother and sister-in-law's family of three live here?" ”

"That's right, usually they live in a three-person world." Lou Xiuyun said: "There will be more people during the New Year's holidays.

But in the past few months, there are more people than usual, from time to time there are friends who come to drink, get drunk and go to the third floor to find a room to lie down, lie down until dawn and leave, and then come and drink again at night, continue to get drunk and find a room on the third floor to make do. ”

"Drinking?" Su Ping thought for a while, asked rhetorically, and then without waiting for Lou Xiuyun to answer, he muttered to himself: "Drink ......"

After muttering a few times and pausing for two or three seconds, Su Ping then asked, "In the past, many people were invited to come to your house for a drink?" ”

"It's not 'our' home, it's theirs." Lou Xiuyun corrected seriously.

Qi Yuan frowned slightly, but unfortunately there were too few clues at present, and he still couldn't guess what Lou Xiuyun wanted to say.

At this time, Lou Xiuyun continued: "But then again, this kind of thing seems to have happened during this time, probably not long after I graduated, and people are not fixed, some are very unfamiliar faces, and some have been friends with the eldest brother's family for more than ten years." ”

"Not before?" Su Ping added to ask.

Lou Xiuyun shook his head and said firmly: "It wasn't like this before.

Although my eldest brother is easy-going, and his popularity is actually very good, and he will make an appointment for a meal and a drink from time to time, but I never remember it so often as during this time.

Besides, whether it's drinking or eating, you come and go, how can you desperately invite others to eat from your own home? Big fish, big meat, big wine, and a lot of money burned every day, according to my eldest brother's personality in the past, he would definitely not do such a thing. ”

Su Ping nodded lightly, but what Lou Xiuyun said also made sense.

Qi Yuan heard this, and Lou Xiuyun thought that Lou Zhongyun had a problem during this time - but it was very strange, she had talked about this, so why bother selling Guanzi and playing dumb riddles, and directly saying that things were not good?

At the same time, Lou Xiuyun's eyes suddenly turned twice, as if he was recalling something, and it seemed that he was organizing his language and sorting out his thoughts.

It was nearly half a minute before she continued:

"By the way, I almost forgot to say it, I still think there is a big problem that is illogical and unreasonable - our village is very small, and it doesn't take much time to walk from the mouth of the village to the tail of the village, and the whole village is more or less intimate, and the big guys can basically recognize each other's faces.

So...... Even if you get drunk, you can just walk back, and it's not the people who work hard in the city to come back to drink during the Chinese New Year, why stay at the eldest brother's house?

I don't mean anything else, it's just that I've encountered it several times, and they spit it out when they drank the wine, and they vomited all over the bed and all over the floor, and my brother told my sister-in-law to clean it up......

So I thought, my sister-in-law is afraid that she is going to resent them to death, how can she greet them with a smile again and again and let them continue to drink and continue to live?

Anyway, I definitely can't stand this kind of thing, not to mention relatives and friends, it's just that the family can't stand it, and it's okay to say once or twice once in a while, drink every day and vomit every day, then I'm really going to turn my face.

But my sister-in-law didn't say anything, every time they came to eat and drink, they would eat and drink, and when they were finished, they would vomit on the bed, and as soon as my brother said that she would immediately go up and clean up, without complaint, I felt very strange. ”

Su Ping touched his chin thoughtfully.

Obviously, logically speaking, the couple must have had a problem recently, although it is not sure whether it is related to the murder of Wu Yimei, but this direction is worthy of their focus investigation.

But in line with Qi Yuan's puzzlement, Lou Xiuyun said that when he talked about this, he almost said, why did he still look mysterious before, complaining about the intensity of work, and showing his clean hands and saying that he was helping with the work?

Or is it that what she said earlier, the movements of the swing, have a deep meaning, and hide a bigger secret?

After pondering for a moment and not being able to think of a reason, Su Ping changed the topic and asked, "By the way, how is the relationship between your sister-in-law and your brother?" ”

said that it was a divergence from the topic, but it was actually a temptation, because while asking the question, he was also staring at Lou Xiuyun's eyes.

"It's fine." Lou Xiuyun naturally replied: "Anyway, in my opinion, it's pretty good, I haven't seen them quarrel in three months, and they've been married for a few years." In my eyes, it is still very affectionate. ”

Su Ping rubbed his eyebrows, and cut the next question very bluntly: "By the way, where is the place where the little girl and her mother had a car accident?" ”

This time, Lou Xiuyun finally frowned slightly, as if he couldn't keep up with Su Ping's rhythm, but still said: "It's on the ridge at the entrance of the village, and I'll take you over later?" ”
