"What do you mean by hiding - tucking?"

The old man likes to pause and repeat when he speaks, and he also likes to say half a sentence.

"From the time he passed to the Che family, until the old man passed away, Che Rengui did his duty, behaved properly, and was honest, and he was obedient to the master, and he was obedient to his wife."

"The old lady regards him as her own, and hands over the Che's business to him to take care of, and his filial piety to the old man and his wife is twelve points, and when he comes back every day, the first thing is to go to the old man and his wife's house to say goodbye, and snacks are indispensable."

"Say hello once a day."

The old man has a good memory and a clear idea: "When the lord and wife have birthdays, including small birthdays, he - he will personally handle it, the lord and wife are overjoyed, very happy, and from time to time tell us people, what is a son?" It's called a son. ”

"What the old lady said is Che Rengui, the old lady does not have no son, he also has a son, but the young master Renju has a big heart, he crossed the ocean at a young age and went abroad to study, it is for this reason that the old man and his wife took - only to pass him Che Rengui to the car family to support the façade and family business, at the beginning, Che Rengui was also good to us people."

"But—but after the lord—the lord died, he—he became a different person."

"Mrs. - after she passed away, we couldn't stay at Che's house, and when we left, Che Rengui didn't even give severance pay. When my lord was alive, he never treated us like this. Che Rengui's father is a bad species, we didn't expect Che Rengui to be even more evil than his father. ”

"What's the wrong thing?"

"This-Director Gu knows best, Director Gu, say it yourself!"

Needless to say, Director Gu has already said it.

He Che Rengui's stomach was full of bad water, he hid, collected, and tucked it, just for the master and wife to see, and he had long been worried about the Che family's family business. I estimate that the young master Renju - the young master's accident also has something to do with Che Rengui. The old man continued.

This is the first time everyone has heard this statement.

"What's the matter?" Director Gu was very vigilant.

"Auntie, please tell us in detail." Zhao Zimeng also heard a little extraneous meaning.

"You go - go to Lou Ah Si, he- he is the closest to the old lady, he knows a lot of things, but he has a tight mouth, very tight, he is a stuffy gourd, and he can't beat a stuffy fart with three sticks. He hates Cha Rengui to the core, but if you ask him why he hates Cha Rengui so much, he will be dumb. ”

Director Gu once mentioned this Lou Ah Si.

"The young master's going abroad is known to his relatives, friends, and neighbors, but not many people know about the young master's work for the Kuomintang. The young master was ** by the people - I suspect that it was Che Rengui's secret. How did he get to the district to do things? I've been wondering about it. ”

"Captain Zhao, it's not difficult to know about this matter." Director Gu said.

"Director Gu, tell me about it."

"The mayor of Mao is still alive, some time ago, I saw the daughter of the mayor of Mao, I asked about the recent situation of the mayor of Mao, she said that the mayor of Mao is planting trees in his hometown in Zhejiang, and he is in good health. The head of Mao District was the first head of our district after the liberation, and the incident of Che Renju happened during his tenure. Therefore, about Che Renju, he must know that Aunt Jin's suspicions are justified, after Che Renju was ** that, Che Rengui went to the district ** to do things. Cha Rengui changed from business to politics, which is not a small change. ”

"Didn't Che Rengui manage the Che family's business?" Zhao Zimeng asked.

"He—he's a hundred times more shrewd than a monkey, and when he was about to be liberated, the Che family's shops were all empty shells—he sold all the things short, fired the guys one by one, and finally, he responded to the call of the ** public-private partnership, and handed over all the shops to the state. Soon, Che Rengui turned into an advanced model, and called on all businessmen to learn from Che Rengui. Jin Cuiping said, "Soon, he-he will go to work in the district." ”

"I know about this matter, according to this, the reason why Che Rengui can go to the district to do things is probably not only because he handed over a few shell shops of the Che family to the state." Director Gu said.

"In those years, a lot of things happened in the Che family one after another, now think about it - it's really weird, yesterday, I met Lou Ah Si on Zhonghe Street, I told him about No. 157, and he- he said a very strange thing."

"What?"

He said that Che Rengui should have died a long time ago, and he lived for so many years before he died, which can be regarded as God cheapening him. You can go to Lou Ah Si, he-he is a distant relative of the master, and the master has never shied away from him if he has any problems. He knows a lot of things. Although his tone is very tight, and his life is at stake, if you were looking for him, I guess he would tell you. ”

So, led by Aunt Jin, Zhao Zimeng and his entourage went to Lou Asi's house.

When she walked to the alley in front of Lou Asi's house, Mrs. Jin saw Lou Asi.

On the opposite side of the alley, there is a small square, with some stone tables and benches, and some elderly people are playing chess and playing cards. Lou Ah Si sat on a stone bench and played against people.

Although Lou Asi is in his eighties, his body is very strong and strong, and his brain is also very clear. Usually, in addition to walking birds in a nearby park, it is to kill a few games with a few old opponents at the door.

After Aunt Jin explained her intentions, Lou Asi did not move her legs immediately, his eyes and expressions told Zhao Zimeng that he did not welcome the arrival of Zhao Zimeng and his party.

Lou Asi's opponent is very discerning: "Big brother, let's play this game of chess here, let's play it another day." ”

A chess spectator picked up the crutches leaning against the stone table and handed it to Lou Asi's hand: "Lou Laosi, you slow down, don't flash your waist." ”

Two others tried to lift Lou to his feet.

Lou Asi shook off the hands of the two people and stood up by himself.

Lou Asi looked at Director Gu and Zhao Zimeng and his party with a blank expression, and then said, "Director Gu, what do you want to ask?" ”

"Lou Ah Si, just stand and talk like this! It's time to find a place to sit and talk! "Aunt Jin is not very satisfied with Lou Asi's cold attitude.

"Let's talk about it here!" Lou Asi swept a few chess friends and onlookers, and then said, "It's all gone, let's play another day—play another day." ”

The others were very interested, and quickly dispersed—even the people who were playing cards next to them.

"Director Gu, you talk, I'll go back." After greeting Director Gu, Aunt Jin left.

Lou Ah Si beckoned everyone to sit down on the stone bench.

"Director Gu, what do you want to ask?" Lou A four ways.

"Uncle Lou, you already know that Che Rengui did not 'run away from home', but was killed in the east wing of No. 157."

"I've heard about this, and in the past two days, the neighbors have been talking about it. What do you want to ask? ”

"After liberation, Che Rengui has done a lot of hurtful things, and he must have a lot of enemies."

"Who knows?"

Aunt Jin is not wrong, Lou Asi's mouth is really tight, and he is also very cautious - he just doesn't take the words of the director.

"Uncle Lou, you have lived in the Che family compound for many years, what evil Che Rengui has done, and what enemies he has, you should know very well!"

"I'm afraid that only Che Rengui himself knows, who will tell people all over the world about evil?"

As soon as the conversation began, Lou Asi slammed the door shut.

"Uncle Lou, you worked in the Che family compound at the age of twelve, and you are a distant relative of Master Che, so you should know some things."

"Director Gu, you are right, I went to the Che family compound to work at the age of twelve, but after all, I am a subordinate, I serve the old lady first, and then Che Rengui, what the master does outside, he has always carried his subordinates. I-how would a subordinate know? ”

"Besides, a scourge like Che Rengui, the more you die, the better, which is also considered providence. As the old saying goes, 'People are doing, and the sky is watching.'" But this sentence has never been fulfilled, where is God? Expecting God to cure wicked people like Che Rengui, the stones are all spoiled. ”

Lou Asi finally said the resentment held in his stomach. The emotions he expressed are the same as Cha In-gye's wife. In Zhao Zimeng's opinion, Che Rengui's wife and Lou Asi seem to be deliberately hiding something.

Linghu Yunfei also felt the same way.

Last night, after Ling Hu Yunfei and his party returned to No. 157, Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng couldn't sleep for a long time, and the two of them sat together to study the case until half past two o'clock.

The murderer dug out the physical characteristics of the deceased and made a sufficient article, and his purpose was to eliminate all the characteristics on Cha Rengui's body.

The murderer not only broke the melon seed teeth in Che Rengui's mouth, but also replaced the two symmetrical tiger teeth with two dentures, in addition, the murderer also smashed part of the bone at the junction of the kneecap and the leg bone, reducing Cha Rengui's height from 1.73 meters to 1.71 meters.

Why did the killer do this? Last night, Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei had been thinking about this problem. In the end, the two finally reached a consensus: the reason why the murderer wanted to eliminate all the features and traces on Cha Rengui's body was only one possibility, that is, as long as people knew that the deceased was Cha Rengui who "ran away from home", they must know who his murderer was.

It is possible that the person who knows who the murderer is must be the Che family - or someone close to the Che family. That Che Rengui's wife has always been tight-lipped, and now, there is only this person named Lou Asi left.

"Uncle Lou, Che Rengui is indeed innocent, shouldn't it be such a way to die! Isn't there still a law of the land? ”
