Chapter 42 The old lady answers all questions

Inside the small cloak was a single bed, a small table, two large wooden boxes stacked together, a rattan chair, and two benches.

"Director Gu, what else do you want to ask?" Lou Asi asked knowingly.

"Uncle Lou, in the past, Che Rengui has done a lot of bad things, he really deserves to die, but it should be up to the law to decide."

"I understand this truth. People are doing, the sky is watching, good and evil are rewarded, and cause and effect are reincarnated. ”

"According to our investigation, it turns out that the matter of Che Renju being handled by the people is related to Che Rengui." Zhao Zimeng said tentatively.

"Comrade Captain, what do you mean by this, can you make your words clearer?" Lou Asi pretended to be surprised, he should have understood Zhao Zimeng's words.

"It was Che Rengui who reported his brother Che Renju to **."

"It's appalling to have such a thing. This turtle son is too deeply hidden, why don't I see it at all? Lou Asi didn't tell the truth, if it weren't for the hints of Aunt Jin and Aunt Li, Zhao Zimeng would really believe Lou Asi's words.

"Comrade Captain, who are you listening to?"

"We found Li Chengbing, the deputy district head who was in charge of Che Renju's case back then, and he told us."

"Deputy District Chief Li, this person, I have the impression that he should be in his early seventies! He's alive? Lou Asi was skeptical.

"He was sentenced to life imprisonment for his crimes and is still serving his sentence in Zhenjiang Prison."

This is not unbelievable. The lord and the wife were so kind that they actually kept a poisonous snake in their own home. Since Che Rengui arrived at the Chejia compound, the Che family has begun to go downhill. ”

According to Mrs. Jin, more than 40 years ago, Lou Asi suspected that Che Renju's death was related to Che Rengui. He must know a lot of inside information, but so far, Lou Asi has no intention of letting go.

"Che Rengui bribed Deputy District Mayor Li with five gold bars and a golden Buddha, killed Che Renju with the hand of Deputy District Mayor Li, swallowed the property of the Che family, and also beat rabbits with grass and bought a hat for the president of the Chamber of Commerce." Zhao Zimeng wanted to provoke Lou Asi.

Lou Asi was silent.

"Che Rengui also gave Deputy District Mayor Li a courtyard house."

But Lou Asi didn't answer, he stood up and diverted the topic: "I'll let my daughter-in-law make a few cups of tea." ”

Director Gu grabbed the corner of Lou Asi's clothes: "Uncle Lou, we just drank tea, and we are not thirsty." ”

"I'm going to get a pack of cigarettes, and I'm talking in the vernacular, it's not hospitality." Lou Asi couldn't sit still, he should be able to guess the purpose of the comrades' trip.

"Uncle Lou, we don't smoke, your house is too small, and the smoke is big, which will choke your old man." Zhao Zimeng said.

Unable to find any other excuse, Lou Asi had to sit on a wicker chair.

"Uncle Lou, as far as we know, after Che Renju came back from Japan, he once liked a girl, and he made a private agreement with her for life-" Zhao Zimeng only said one thing, he wanted to see Lou Asi's reaction. If nothing else, Lou Ah Si will definitely deny this matter vigorously.

"This β€” this can't be β€” it's impossible."

Sure enough, as Zhao Zimeng expected.

"Uncle Lou, how can you be so sure?"

"I've been in the Che's compound for decades - for most of my life, the lord and wife may hide other things from me, and it is impossible for them not to know about the young master's marriage. The young master's marriage is not only a big event, but also a happy event, this kind of thing, I'm afraid that others won't know, why should the lord and wife hide it? Lou Ah Si pretended to be stupid, he had already thought of his lines.

"Uncle Lou, Che Renju has had a playmate since he was a child, and later he studied together, do you remember this person?"

"Why haven't I heard?"

Lou Asi should be very familiar with Sun Xiaotian.

"This person's name is Sun Xiaotian, and he is a distant relative of Che Renju's grandfather. You are a distant relative of the Che family, and you should be able to think of this person. ”

"It's been many years since I left the Chejia compound, and I'm getting older, and my memory is not as good as before."

This excuse seems somewhat convincing. But before that, Lou Asi's memory had always been very good. An eighty-year-old man can advance and retreat freely on the chessboard, but how poor is his memory?

Lou Asi's uncooperation is his business, and Zhao Zimeng still has to move forward according to his own ideas: "In 1950 - before Che Renju's accident, there was a woman holding a child who asked Aunt Li in the tea stove about Che Renju's situation. ”

"Soon, this woman went to the countryside to find Sun Xiaotian againβ€”" Zhao Zimeng said as he observed Lou Asi's reaction.

Lou Asi seemed to be much calmer than before, and his eyes when he looked at Zhao Zimeng were much more focused than before, which showed that he heard Zhao Zimeng's words in his heart. When Zhao Zimeng suddenly paused, Lou Asi's eyes put a big question mark in his eyes - he wanted to know what Zhao Zimeng would say next.

"Sun Xiaotian said that this woman should be Che Renju's wife who married outside, and the woman also brought a five or six-year-old boy, this boy should be Che Renju's species."

Lou Ah Si stopped talking.

"According to the chronology, the child in a woman's arms should be forty-five or sixteen years old now."

"Comrade Captain, I have never heard of these situations as you mentioned."

Lou Asi's words had already indicated his attitude, and it was unnecessary to talk about it any longer, so Zhao Zimeng got up and said goodbye.

Lou Asi sent the comrades to the street, and when everyone turned to leave, Lou Asi stopped Director Gu.

"Director Gu, Captain Zhao, you can go to Che Huating and his mother, she may know something."

At the last moment, Lou Asi still gave a little bit to his comrades. He did know some things, but he wanted Che Huating's mother to say it - it would be more appropriate for Che Huating's mother to tell the Che family's affairs. Lou Ah Si is really a loyal servant.

After the comrades left, Lou Asi stood on the side of the road and watched the figures of the comrades disappear around the corner.

After that, everyone went to the Chejia compound.

The three brothers and sisters of Che Huating were sitting in their mother's room, the old lady was sick, and the three brothers and sisters were waiting for their mother to take medicine.

The old lady is sick, can this conversation still take place?

The old lady was a reasonable person, she asked her daughter to help her get dressed, and then slowly walked out of bed, and Che Huating arranged for the comrades to sit down in the living room.

After a while, Che Huamei helped her mother out of the wing room, sat on a chair, and Che Huating took a cushion and put it behind her mother.

"Boss, let's all eat! Gorgeous, make a few cups of tea. ”

The three brothers and sisters walked out of the living room one by one. The old lady deliberately took the three children away.

After a while, Che Huamei walked into the living room with a tea tray, and after placing the teacup on the table and coffee table, she stood behind her mother.

The old lady looked up at her daughter: "Huamei, you go to dinner!" Mother is fine, it's much better now. ”

During the conversation, the old lady didn't want the children to stay nearby, did she want to tell her comrades something important? Or are they afraid that children will hear things they shouldn't hear?

Originally, Zhao Zimeng wanted the three brothers and sisters to sit down and talk together, since the old lady has something to say first, then respect the old man's opinion!

The content of the conversation started directly with Sun Xiaotian: "Auntie, do you know Sun Xiaotian?" ”

The old lady's expression and eyes were suddenly stunned: "Sun-Sun Xiaotian? He is a relative of my mother-in-law's family. ”

The old lady did not shy away from the question. That's a good place to start.

Zhao Zimeng smelled the smell of incense - that is, the smell that he smelled in the temple - walked into the living room and had the feeling of walking into the temple meditation room, and after getting used to the light in the living room, Zhao Zimeng saw the Buddha shrine in the east wing, the smell of incense should be wafting from the Buddha shrine, and there was a statue of Guanyin Buddha sitting in the Buddha shrine.

Linghu Yunfei also saw the Buddhist shrine in the wing, and his eyes met Zhao Zimeng unexpectedly.

Che Rengui's wife eats fasting and recites Buddha is not something that is said casually.

Linghu Yunfei also saw a string of chestnut Buddha beads on the old man's right wrist. The sleeves of the old man's clothes are long and wide, and the Buddhist beads are hidden in the sleeves.

"We heard that this Sun Xiaotian and Che Renju have been playmates since childhood, and when they grow up, they are studying in a school again, is this true?"

"Not bad."

"We also heard that during Che Renju's nutrition at Citi, this Sun Xiaotian often visited Che Renju."

"Not bad. When Renju was recuperating at his grandfather's house, Sun Xiaotian went to see him a few times. Sun Xiaotian's family lives near Citicamp, and Sun Xiaotian's home is eleven or twelve miles from Citicamp. "The old man speaks in a lower voice and at a slower pace. The volume and speed of speech are always at a level.

"This afternoon, our comrades met with Sun Xiaotian."

What answered Zhao Zimeng was a cough, one tighter than the other, and the other higher than the other.

Cha Huamei rushed into the living room and stroked her mother's back up and down with her hand.

When it comes to the critical moment, the old man suddenly coughs, can the conversation continue?

"Director Gu, my mother has always had asthma, and she can't talk for too long."

Another woman in her thirties walked into the living room, holding a teacup in her hand, Lin Di knew this woman, she was Che Huating's wife.

Cha Huamei took the teacup from the woman's hand and put it to the old man's mouth.

The old man took two sips of water shallowly, and his cough was immediately relieved.

"Huamei, you two go out! Mother is fine. The old man waved his hand at the two women.

Che Huamei put down the teacup, looked at Zhao Zimeng and Director Gu, and exited the living room, followed by Che Huating's wife.

"Then say, I'll listen." The old man looked at Zhao Zimeng calmly.

Sun Xiaotian said that in 1950, a woman once went to look for him. This woman was still holding a two-year-old boy in her arms, coincidentally, before that, this woman had asked Aunt Li of the tea stove about Che Renju's situation. According to common sense, this woman should have been to the Chejia compound. Are you impressed? ”
