The car stopped as usual in the square in front of Shou'anji Temple.

The group walked to No. 276 Guangming Street.

No. 276 is a courtyard, Xiao Zhang said, there are two tube buildings in the courtyard, and the Yin family lives in the first building.

Xiao Zhang did not walk into No. 276.

There was a small alley to the south of No. 276, and Xiao Zhang led everyone into the alley.

Xiao Zhang stopped at the gate of a house deep in the alley.

The door was opened by an old lady in her sixties.

The old lady is Director Peng of the neighborhood committee. Xiao Zhang wanted to ask Director Peng for help.

Director Peng readily agreed. She took the initiative to recommend a family, which was a door-to-door neighbor with the Yin family and was familiar with the situation of the Yin family.

In the end, it was the director of the neighborhood committee, and she had a clear eye for doing mass work, so she asked Xiao Zhang and his entourage to sit at her house for a while, and she invited people to her house to talk. This is very much on Zhao Zimeng's mind.

This neighbor's name is Xu Haichu, and his family and the Yin family share a corridor, because it is a tube building and there is no kitchen, so both families cook on the fire in the corridor. The other party knows how many people's meals are cooked and how many people eat at home.

Xu Haichu, who is about 50 years old, used to work in a vegetable farm, but after the market closed down, he rented a store and sold pork.

After Xu Haichu sat down, Luo Zirong handed him a cigarette and lit it with a lighter.

"Master Xu, we invited you here to learn about Yin Daping's situation."

"Ask! As long as I know. ”

"Is Yin Daping married?" Linghu Yunfei asked.

"It's over—but then it's gone."

"Left, when did this happen?"

"Didn't he go to jail? The next year, his wife left. ”

"Do they have children?"

"One boy, one girl. The boy left with his wife, and the girl stayed. This can't be blamed on Cuifen - Cuifen is Yin Daping's wife. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"The Yin family is too bitter - a hundred times more bitter than Coptis chinensis. Yin Feipeng has never seen his father in his life, his mother moved to Chongming Island from Jingxi City, her grandmother has several idle ancestral properties, but was occupied by two uncles, mother and son have no place to go, so they lived in No. 276, after the beginning of the turbulent era, those people don't know where to get the news, saying that Yin Zhuojun's husband is a military spy and was dealt with by the people, she was implicated because of this matter, and was criticized all day long, wearing a high hat, and parading the streets, Yin Feipeng signed up for the Xinjiang branch under this circumstance, her son was by her side, she had to hold on, after her son left, she threw herself into the sea, in short, it's hard to say! ”

Yin Daping, like his father Yin Feipeng, got married relatively early.

"After divorcing his wife, has Yin Daping ever found a woman?" Linghu Yunfei brought the topic on the right track in a timely manner.

"No, Yin Daping was born in Xinjiang, he studied very seriously since he was a child, and he was willing to be motivated, but somehow, he dropped out of school later, and after returning to Chongming with his parents, he couldn't find a formal job. No woman would like someone like him. ”

"We heard that Yin Daping was in prison for three years, when was he released from prison?"

"It was the beginning of 1986, when was it? Director Peng, when did your daughter get married in 1986? ”

"My daughter got married in January. I remembered that Yin Daping was released from prison in January. ”

"Please recall, after Yin Daping came back, did he go out again?"

"I went out, and after I got out of prison, he stayed at home for a while, and then he went out. Director Peng, am I right? ”

"Yes, Yin Feipeng said that he went to Shanghai to do business."

"How long has Yin Daping been out?"

"It's a long time. About two or three months! ”

"Yes, it's two or three months." Director Peng echoed.

"Since Yin Daping was released from prison, he has gone out twice before and after, saying that he was going to Shanghai to do business, but he has not been able to gain a foothold in Shanghai twice. Except for these two times, Yin Daping never left Chongming Island. Xu Haichu recalled.

The surname Ma entered No. 157 twice before and after. One was from May to July 1986; The second time was in 1987.

"Do you remember when Yin Daping went to Shanghai for the second time?"

"The second time I went to Shanghai was not in 1987, but I can't remember the exact time."

"How long is it?"

"It's only two or three months, I can't remember the exact time. In the days when Yin Daping left, his father often talked about his son, and his mother flipped through the calendar every day. The couple is very worried. ”

"Yin Daping went to Shanghai, what is the attitude of Yin Feipeng and his wife - is it for or against?"

"They don't want Yin Daping to go to Shanghai, but Yin Daping is a very filial child - he wants to make money desperately so that his parents can live a good life, and when he was in prison, his parents went to see her in prison and gave him money, he didn't want a penny, and asked his parents not to spend money on things, he said that there was everything in it."

"He has a bad temper outside, but he never disobeys his parents. When he couldn't find a job, he went to the vegetable market to set up a stall to pull teeth for people – he didn't want to burden his parents. ”

Xu Haichu continued: "Daping is also a very kind child, and the neighbors come to him for dental problems, and he never takes money. Xu Haichu felt a little off topic, and quickly brought the conversation back, "I'm a little far, Yin Feipeng and his family don't want their son to go to Shanghai to find a job." ”

"Master Xu is right, the couple have always disapproved of their son going outside," Director Peng interjected, "My daughter Yin Xiaoping is no longer around, and there is only one child left by Daping, as soon as Yin Feipeng saw me, he mentioned to me about helping his son find a job - Yin Daping has been in prison, and the couple are afraid that their son will have another accident." ”

Director Peng continued: "I also helped him find a job, but Yin Daping was ambitious, and he quit his job after a long time. This child's eyes are low, and when he says something that he doesn't like, his heart is higher than the sky, and his life is thinner than paper. ”

"The second time I went to Shanghai, Daping must have knew, you can go and ask her. That's a very honest woman, he'll tell you. Xu Haichu said.

Yin Feipeng and his wife don't want their son to go to Shanghai, I'm afraid there are other reasons. They should know how their father Che Renju died, and it stands to reason that they shouldn't tell their son Yin Daping, but with Yin Feipeng's experience and character, including his state of mind, will he accept the fact that his father was accused of dying? Will he accept that the Chejia compound, which should have belonged to him, falls into the hands of outsiders? Although he is unlikely to do extreme things, there is still a possibility of showing it in front of his son - at least let his son know who his grandfather is!

Yin Feipeng has done a lot of work, because he is addicted to alcohol, so no matter what kind of work, he will not be able to do it for long, and he will be fired. A drunkard can't keep a word in his stomach.

Regarding Yin Daping's second "time to go to Shanghai to find a job", now I can only check with Yin Daping's parents.

Director Peng sent Xu Haichu away and went to invite Yin Daping's mother by the way.

Yin Daping's mother, Shang Qiulan, is also a hard-working woman, her parents divorced when she was very young, and her mother was sentenced to 12 years in prison for being involved in an economic case, and finally exiled to Xinjiang to serve her sentence. Lonely and helpless, Shang Qiulan took advantage of the east wind to accompany her mother in Xinjiang, and soon her mother died of illness in Shihezi Labor Reform Farm, and in 1979, Shang Qiulan and Yin Feipeng returned to Chongming Island from Xinjiang.

Only Shang Qiulan is home alone, Yin Feipeng has just found a job as a security guard, his job is to work 24 hours and rest 24 hours, so Yin Feipeng may not know about his son's arrest.

A few minutes later, Director Peng led a middle-aged woman of forty-three or four-year-old into the courtyard gate.

People in their forties, there are already a lot of gray hairs on their heads, Shang Qiulan sits next to Director Peng very restrainedly, she has low eyebrows, her eyebrows are tightly locked, her face is full of melancholy, and she looks preoccupied. Hands clasped tightly together. Her hands were very rough, and there was a piece of tape on the thumb of her right hand, which was probably blackened by the time.

Lin Di poured a cup of tea and handed it to Shang Qiulan's hand.

Shang Qiulan took the teacup and glanced at Lin Di gratefully.

"Qiulan, I won't say anything long-winded, this comrade wants to ask you some questions, and you can answer whatever he asks."

Shang Qiulan nodded.

Ling Hu Yunfei looked at Shang Qiulan and asked in a calm tone: "Sister-in-law, after your son Yin Daping was released from prison, he went to Shanghai twice to look for a job, the first time was from May to July 1986, and the second time, do you remember what time it was?" ”

"The second time was from April to June in 1987 — from mid-April to mid-June."

This time coincides with the time provided by Che Hua Ting.

"Sister-in-law, are you sure that Yin Daping is going to Shanghai to look for a job?"

"That's what he told us. His father was not at ease, and once went to the residence of a friend in Daping, Shanghai, to look for him, and the friend said that he had not seen him. ”

My friend hasn't seen Yin Daping, that's right. The information provided by Shang Qiulan is very important.

Xu Haichu was not wrong, Shang Qiulan was really an honest woman. Talking to her, Zhao Zimeng felt very relaxed.

"Yin Daping must have some capital when he goes to Shanghai to do business, right?"

The surname Ma lived in No. 157, stayed in Jingxi City for more than two months, and had to raise a woman, Che Huating said that the surname Ma seemed to be doing business, it can be seen that the Ma couple's dress is very unusual, these are asking for money.

"The child is going to go out and wander, and we parents are not at ease, so we naturally give everything we have, and we give him the 3,000 yuan we have saved - he only took 1,500 yuan. He had two thousand dollars of savings in his own hands. ”
