Forty-three. Check-in to the residence

I felt a slight pain between the dream and reality, and I gritted my teeth and slowly opened one eye. The lights in the car were dazzling, although not too bright.

"It's here, everyone get off the bus in an orderly manner." The conductor reclined in the driver's seat.

It turned out that my head hit the seat in front of me because of the brakes, I thought to myself.

I woke up Cao Yang next to me, packed my luggage and got out of the car. It was pitch black outside, with only a few lights in the distance. It can be said that it is a place where birds do not poop.

"Is this Mr. Cao Yang?" A man said behind my back.

I turned my head and looked at the silhouette of the man in the dark, probably a man in his fifties.

"I'm not Cao Yang, this is." After I finished speaking, I put my hand on Cao Yang's shoulder.

"Hello, I am the housekeeper of Jiang Lei's family, and I will pick you up today. My surname is Gao, just call me Gao. ”

"I'm Cao Yang, this is my colleague Wang Wei, we came together, I'm sorry I didn't inform you before." Cao Yang did not inform Jiang Lei's family of my arrival, after all, I did not receive the invitation letter.

"It's okay, if it's for Jiang Lei's mourning, we welcome it." Lao Gao looked me up and down.

"Well, I'm a fan of Jiang Lei, and I'm honored to have this opportunity." My words seemed to make Lao Gao happy.

Lao Gao pointed to the distance, "Come, get in the car, hurry to the mansion to rest and rest." ”

We got into the car with him. The car isn't high-end, but it's certainly not cheap. To have such a car in this place is quite imposing.

Cao Yang and I both sat in the back seat, looking out the window at the pitch black. It took about ten minutes for the car to see a few lights, and about twenty minutes .......

The car stopped, Lao Gao rolled down the window, and said a few words to the people outside the car. Then I started the car again, and when the car started, I saw that this was a gate, and the person outside the door just now was probably the security guard here. When I drove through the gate, the outside of the car changed. Looking out of the car window, I saw street lights on both sides of the road. It was obvious that the car was driving more smoothly, and Lao Gao also increased his speed. Soon the car stopped.

Lao Gao politely opened the car door, and I got out of the car with a lot of thanks. When I got out of the car, I looked around and rubbed my eyes, and yes, the sight was not deceiving.

In front of my eyes is a three-story villa, which looks like the mansion of dignitaries during the Republic of China. I saw that the plaque on the gate was written with four big characters in calligraphy, "Jiang's Mansion". The plaque is surrounded by small light bulbs, which are so bright that you can see them clearly even at night. Under the plaque is a semicircular gate about two meters long, which is very historic.

There is a lot of greenery in front of the mansion, which can be seen through the lights of the mansion, and there are swarms of insects flying on the greenery. At the end of the right side of the greenery is a large parking lot, I probably looked at it, and most of them are luxury cars. At the end of the left is a long, one-story room. The lights inside are obviously not as bright as those in the mansion.

"This place is so luxurious." I sighed.

"I didn't expect Jiang Lei's family to be so rich." Cao Yang also received it on the side.

"Let you see the smile. Hurry up and get inside. Lao Gao finished speaking and walked in front.

Cao Yang and I immediately followed, and Lao Gao knocked on the door a few times. The door was opened by a middle-aged woman.

"This is my lover Lao Ma, you can just call him Sister Ma, who works as a cleaner in Jiang's house." Lao Gao was a little embarrassed to introduce.

After a polite introduction, we went inside. There is a stark contrast between the inside of the mansion and the outside of the mansion. The outside can be described as retro, but the inside of the house is very modern.

On the first floor is a large living room, with European sofas, TVs, and all the furniture and appliances you can think of in the living room. At the end of the living room on the right side was a spiral staircase, and I had just noticed it when I saw a pair of feet appear from the top of the staircase. Slowly, the body, the upper body, and finally a sixty-year-old face appeared in front of me.

"This is Master Jiang, Jiang Lei's father." Lao Gao introduced.

"My name is Jiang Juren, you can just call me Jiang Lao." The old man who came down from the second floor introduced.

"I'm Cao Yang, and this is my colleague Wang Wei."

"Wow, it turned out to be Cao Yang, in that case three years ago, although we only talked on the phone a few times, I think you are very reliable, after all, you are in charge of that case, so I invited you." Jiang Lao explained.

"I'm honored." Cao Yang said.

"I'm honored too." I said.

"I still have something to deal with, let Lao Gao take you two to your room." After Jiang Lao finished speaking, he went upstairs.

We then went upstairs with Lao Gao, and when we came to the second floor and turned right, I saw three rooms on the right side of the hallway. Old Gao led me to the innermost room.

"This is the room for the two of you, you didn't give notice, I think you two can only be in one room. There was a single bed in this room, and I asked the maid to move another single bed into it later, which was a little cramped but harmless. Lao Gao said.

"Thank you so much." Although you can only squeeze into one room, it is better than staying in a hotel at your own expense. Thinking of this, I hurriedly thanked him.

Soon the maid moved in the second single bed, and I thought it would be crowded, but I thought too much. The twin beds are not at all out of place in the room, and most of the double rooms in most hotels are designed as such. Maybe the rich have some misconception about the small size of the house, I thought to myself.

Cao Yang and I simply packed our luggage and lay down on the bed. Glancing at my watch, it was almost nine o'clock.

"Gollum." I touched my stomach in embarrassment. "Are you hungry?" I turned my head to look at Cao Yang lying on the bed.

"Of course I'm hungry, let's go and ask where we can eat." After Cao Yang finished speaking, he sat up energetically.

We stood halfway up the stairs and looked down at the first floor, where there was no one, and although there was no one, the lights were still on. "Where is that old man, do we have to ask him." Cao Yang looked at me and said.

"I don't know, this is the first time I've slept in the house of a dignitary, and I don't know what the rules are, we don't know where the others are." I scratched my head as I spoke.

Suddenly, Lao Gao's voice came from under me, "You're hungry, I'm so busy forgetting that you didn't eat, I'm so sorry." ”

The two of us lowered our heads and saw Lao Gao standing next to the spiral staircase.

"Do you hear us both talking? Where is it? I asked.

"There, I'm generally there." After Lao Gao finished speaking, we looked in the direction of his finger, and there was a small room in the corner of the living room.

"This is my room, and I can hear anything on the first floor." Lao Gao continued. "We usually eat in the living room, but now that it's past dinner, you two can follow me to the kitchen outside." After speaking, Lao Gao made a gesture to follow him.

"Squeak." Lao Gao wanted to push open the door on the right, but the door was just halfway through, as if it was blocked by something, and he couldn't push it open.

The three of us poked our heads out together, and saw a man standing outside the door with his back to us, and I could confirm that he was trying to block the direction in which the door was open.

"Who are you?" Lao Gao reprimanded.

"I don't know you anymore, and I'm surprised to receive an invitation this time, shouldn't you hate me?" After saying that, the man turned his head.

His disgusting face, even when it turned to dust, I remembered. It's the man who made trouble on the high-speed train and the bus. I had a chance to get to know him well, only to see that he was very thin, and his eyebrows and mouse eyes were perfect to describe him, he still had wireless headphones on his ears, and he was carrying that mysterious bag.

"Why are you here, do you still want to make trouble here? You uncultured person! I reprimanded.

My reprimand made Lao Gao feel strange, and I felt as if he had something to say, but he didn't interrupt me by scolding this man first.

"It turned out to be you, police boy, I don't need you to teach me a lesson if you don't have education, I have more say than you when it comes to education." The man said arrogantly.

"How could you come, we can't invite you. You unscrupulous journalist. Gao tried to push the man away, but he deftly dodged him.

"What do you do with old friends like this, I'm a guest, a guest of honor you invited." After speaking, the man took out the invitation from his pocket. We were speechless.

"I invited him." Jiang Lao's voice came from behind. "This reporter's false report has made my son receive a lot of abuse and slander, but I want him to see that at the memorial three years later, there are still many people who believe in Jiang Lei and many people who love Jiang Lei, and I am sorry if this person makes you feel inconvenient." Jiang Lao stood two meters away from us and looked at the man viciously and said.

"Now you believe it, I'm a guest." After saying that, the man pushed the three of us into the house. "Which room is it? Where do I stay? ”

"Upstairs the first room on the right." Lao Gao said.

The man snorted and went upstairs. I looked at the bag he was straddle over, and I thought it was probably a camera.

After the man left, Jiang Lao touched his head and sat on the sofa, "This man's name is Deng Chen, he is a reporter, he used it three years ago, he was irresponsible, abandoned his teammates, fans and other false reports, which put my family Jiang Lei on the cusp." I thought that people would become kind through the growth of experience, but ......" Jiang Lao burst into tears after speaking.

Such a play made Cao Yang and I forget that the two of us should go to dinner, so we could only sit on the sofa and talk to Jiang Lao as much as possible, and the time came to about ten o'clock, and the door rang again. "It must be a guest, Lao Gao hurry up and open the door." When Lao Gao heard this, he immediately came to the door and opened the door.

I poked my head out the door on the couch and saw a tall, bearded man standing outside, yes, the same person I met on the high-speed train and on the bus.

"May I ask if this is Jiang Lei's house?" Although the man looks rough, he speaks very gently.

"You are?" Lao Gao asked with some doubts.

"My name is Hwang Kwang-choe, you can call me Lao Hwang, I am the fan leader of Sangju FC, and I received an invitation to come here." The man at the door said.

Hearing him say this, Cao Yang and Jiang Lao and I all came to the door to greet him. "It turned out to be the fan leader Lao Huang, I didn't expect you to really come." Jiang Lao said.

"Of course, the ginger team is important to us fans." Lao Huang said.

In fact, I have long heard about Lao Hwang, who has been the fan leader of Sangju FC for ten years and has a high status in the fan circle.

Lao Huang quickly came to his room to rest, his room was located on the second floor on the left side of the innermost. We cleaned up his room and went back to his room. As soon as I entered the room, my stomach barked again.

"I guess we'd better endure having breakfast the next day." I said.

Cao Yang looked at his watch, "It's not too early, it seems that I can only eat tomorrow morning." ”

After a simple wash, we lay on the bed and prepared to sleep, "What do you say those two have to do with Jiang Lei's death?" I asked in the dark.

"I don't know, it shouldn't be a ......"

"Snorr." I heard the snoring from Cao Yang, and I didn't have the energy to think about it anymore, so it was time to take a good rest after a long day's travel. Thinking of this, my eyelids began to war......
