Chapter 030: Revisit
Ding~噹...... Ding~噹......
However, only three days later, Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong stood outside Xu Jingjia's house again. On a midsummer afternoon, the corridors of the public housing estates were still as hot as they had been three days ago, and the door of Hui Ching-ka's house had not been opened for as long as it had been three days earlier.
Pang Jitong wiped his sweat and looked at the door that did not move, feeling as if he had been waiting for a century, but when he looked at his watch to confirm, he found that he had only waited for about five minutes.
Pang Jitong thought that the base station that Xu Jingjia's mobile phone had always connected to was fixed at the base station near this address, so he couldn't help but be even more irritable, and said, "Today is Thursday, doesn't Xu Jingjia usually stay at home? Didn't she deliberately not open the door?" After Pang Jitong finished speaking, he reached out and rang the doorbell twice.
At this time, Fu Liangtao bumped Pang Jitong with his elbow and motioned him to look back.
Pang Jitong turned his head and looked at Fu Liangtao's line of sight, only to see that behind the two, Xu Jingjia's door opened a small crack, and a pair of eyes peeked at them from behind. The lights in the corridor were dim, and there was no light in the room, so Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong couldn't see whether the person was a man or a woman. Based on the height of those eyes, it can only be speculated that the height of that person should be about one hundred and fifty centimeters.
Pang Ji felt a chill in his heart, only to feel that the stuffiness in the corridor suddenly dissipated most of it.
Before Pang Jitong could react, Fu Liangtao had already stepped forward and said to the man in a loud voice, "Hello! Is there anything wrong?" A humble and gentlemanly attitude, coupled with his elegant temperament, seems to want to let his spring breeze dispel the chill in the corridor.
After getting along with Fu Liangtao for a few days, Pang Jitong was naturally not deceived by Fu Liangtao's appearance. Pang Jitong couldn't help but pouted his lips disdainfully, what else could he do in his heart, wasn't it just gossip.
The man didn't seem to expect Fu Liangtao to talk to him, and after a while, he opened the door generously and opened the iron gate in front of him, but it was a woman in her seventies with a rickety waist and dark and wrinkled skin.
The old woman opened the door and looked at Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong gloomily, and did not speak.
For a moment, the atmosphere froze.
Fu Liangtao was not afraid of embarrassment, and said, "We are their friends, old lady, have they gone out?"
The old woman's cloudy eyes slowly wandered between Fu Pang's faces, and she said, "Don't try to lie to me, I know you are policemen." The sound was like a sharp knife scraping on sand paper, and Pang Jitong's hair stood on end.
"yes, didn't we just come here two days ago?" Fu Liangtao replied with a smile, and didn't mind that the old woman didn't give them a good face.
"I know if you're looking for that slacker, it's not the right time." The old woman said again.
"Slacker?" Pang Jitong repeated in surprise, and after thinking about it, he knew that the old woman was referring to Xu Jingjia in her words.
The old woman glared at Pang Ji in the same way, and said, "Staying at home and not going to work at such a young age, isn't it a lazy?"
"Yes!" Fu Liangtao picked up the conversation and said, "It seems that this situation has been maintained for two or three years." Fu Liangtao speculated based on Xu Jingjia's billing records, and Xu Jingjia's mobile phone communication and data usage only dropped sharply at the end of 2017.
The old woman seemed to be dissatisfied when she heard this, looked at Fu Liangtao and said, "What two or three years?"
Pang Jitong on the side asked in surprise, "Isn't it more than two or three years?"
The old woman seemed to think they were ignorant, and her eyes showed contempt, and she smiled contemptuously, "I am too lazy to tell you." Lift your feet and go back into the house.
The old woman just talked about what Fu Liangtao didn't understand, how could Fu Liangtao let her go, so he stretched out his hand and put it on the old woman's iron gate and didn't let the old woman close it.
The old man's hand strength was not very strong, and Fu Liangtao didn't need much strength to keep the person.
But the old woman was not angry, but stood where she was, and scolded indifferently, "What a scoundrel!"
"Yes, I'm a scoundrel." Fu Liangtao actually smiled and admitted it bluntly. Then he showed the old woman her police card and said, "But I'm also a police officer. The old lady asks you to do me a favor, and tell me what kind of lazy person that slacker is?"
Since he has retained people, how could Fu Liangtao just confirm the time when Xu Jingjia was unemployed, as he spoke, Fu Liangtao confirmed all the information about Xu Jingjia in his hand through the mouth of this old woman.
Hui Ching-jia's family of four moved in at the beginning of the completion of the estate, and it was at that time that the old woman met their family. According to the old lady, Xu Jingjia stayed at home shortly after graduating from middle school, and within a few years.
In the eyes of the old woman, Xu Jingjia is not only lazy, but also has a bad temper, and she will lose her temper every once in a while. However, although Xu Jingjia's sister is a few years younger than her, she is much more industrious and sensible than her.
After Fu Liangtao finished asking the question, the old woman didn't bother to say goodbye to Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong, so she closed the iron gate and door with a "bang".
Come to think of it, I really don't want to see them.
"Alright! Let's go!" Fu Liangtao said.
Pang Jitong thought that Fu Liangtao would wait for Xu Jingjia to come back, but who knew that Fu Liangtao would raise his feet directly and leave after asking.
At this time, there was a sound of the elevator door opening from the elevator lobby, and Fu Liangtao hurriedly pulled Pang Jitong to hide in the fire escape at the end of the corridor.
Looking at the glass of the window through the smoke-proof door, Fu Liangtao and Pang Jitong saw Xu Jingjia passing by in front of them with a large bag and a small bag, but they didn't notice that the two were looking at her.
The two walked down the stairs, and after walking for a while, Pang Jitong couldn't help but speak, "Tao sir......" As soon as he opened his mouth, he found that the echo in the stairs was really loud, so he lowered his voice again and asked, "Didn't we come to find Xu Jingjia?"
"That's right!" Fu Liangtao responded.
"Then why do we have to avoid everyone when they come?" Pang Jitong asked puzzled.
"Because of the old lady's words, I changed my mind temporarily. At first, I thought that Xu Jingjia had only been staying at home since the end of 2017, which coincided with the time when Li Bingde and Zhou Muqing began to be harassed. However, according to this old lady, Xu Jingjia seems to have stayed at home a little longer than I thought." Fu Liangtao said.
And these materials are all that Xu Jingjia's billing records failed to tell them.
"I decided to find a way to enter her house before I saw Xu Jingjia again." Fu Liangtao said.
Thinking of Xu Jingjia's reluctant appearance last time, Pang Jitong felt that things would not go so smoothly, so he asked again, "But, will Xu Jingjia let us do this?"
Fu Liangtao smiled and said, "I naturally have a way to make her let us in willingly."
