Zhao Zimeng excerpted the information provided by the two people in his notebook for easy comparison.

After Zhao Zimeng asked Gong Caiju and his wife, he found another problem: Gong Caiju's family moved into No. 157 in August 1985, and before that, no one lived in the two west wings (Gong Caiju particularly emphasized: she will not be mistaken, because her memory is particularly good,)

"We heard that there was a large pile of bricks in the courtyard of No. 157, and the pile of bricks was not there when your family moved in."

"Yes, in addition to a pile of bricks, there are some small tiles." Zhangguang South Road.

"Was that pile of bricks still there when you moved out?"

"If, for sure, a few days before I moved out, two bricks fell off the stove in the kitchen, and I picked two complete green bricks on top of the pile of bricks - and fixed the stove - the other bricks were all broken bricks - rented someone else's house, and when I moved out, it should be handed over to someone in one piece."

In the above materials, there are only two outsiders surnamed Ma who have lived in the second entry, namely Zhang Guangnan and Gongcaiju's family, and now, Zhao Zimeng can't help but pay special attention to this Zhang Guangnan.

After questioning Zhang Guangnan, Zhao Zimeng and Xiang Daimo took a special look at the hole in the wall where the body was found, and what Zhang Guangnan said was right (about bricks), most of the bricks used in the first wall were indeed broken bricks.

The second person Zhao Zimeng asked was Gong Caiju and his wife:

Gong Caiju (because of Zhang Guangnan, Zhao Zimeng paid enough attention to the information provided by Gong Caiju and his wife): "When we moved into Che's house, Zhang Guangnan from the post office had already moved in, and we moved into Che's house in mid-August, and I remember very well that we got the door key on August 12. ”

"We moved in not long ago – about a month! Zhang Guangnan moved away. Before, we temporarily lived in the first entrance of the West House, and after Zhang Guangnan moved out, we moved into the second entrance - this was agreed to by Che Laosan in advance. ”

Gong Caiju continued: "Che Rengui said that the rent starts from the 16th, and a few days ago, the old neighbors, the old neighbors, don't have so much to worry about - according to the old rules, the house money should be calculated from the day you get the keys." We lived in Che's house for two and a half months, we moved out at the end of August, and I paid Che's rent for two and a half months.

Gong Caiju's husband also confirmed his wife's statement.

The information provided by Gong Cai Ju is completely consistent with the information provided by Che Hua Ting, which is enough to prove that Gong Cai Ju's memory is very good.

Che Huating did not mention the fact that Gong Caiju lived in the first Westinghouse first. After being reminded by Zhao Zimeng, he finally remembered.

Zhao Zimeng captured a new piece of information from Gong Caiju's narrative - although it has nothing to do with the case, Zhao Zimeng still paid enough attention to it, and everyone knows that Zhao Zimeng in criminal investigation work, as long as it is related to the case, it must be recorded one by one.

"Auntie, since these houses have been allocated to Che Huating, why does Che Rengui still come to collect rent?"

"It's true that this house was assigned to the third child, but didn't the third child move in with the car boss later? Therefore, the boss naturally has a share of this rent, the boss is an honest and honest person, he can not care, it is inconvenient for him to collect the rent - he will not come to collect the rent. But doesn't he still have a wife? Che Rengui collects rent, just to subsidize his eldest son! ”

Che Huating seems to have also mentioned this issue, about rent, sometimes he collects, sometimes Che Rengui collects - he seems to say so.

Don't underestimate this bit of rent, in the past, many of those who had ancestral property lived by renting houses, and in the era when dozens of dollars could support a family, rent was a lot of income! If you look at the current housing rental market, you can see what is going on.

So, during the period of living in No. 157, did Gong Caiju and his wife find anything abnormal in their neighbor Zhang Guangnan? This is the focus of Zhao Zimeng's attention, people walking by the water, it is inevitable that their feet will not get wet, the murderer may do it seamlessly, but he will always show a little bit of horses' feet, because in this world, there is no seamless clothes.

When Zhao Zimeng asked this question, Gong Caiju looked at her husband who was sitting on the side.

"Auntie, do you remember something?"

"It's-"

"Auntie, don't have any worries, as long as you feel something is wrong, you can tell us." Ling Hu Yunfei smiled.

"Old woman, say whatever you want!" My wife said that although men don't talk much, they have the right to speak, especially when it comes to some principled issues.

"Director Gu, you have been working in our area for decades, and you have the most right to speak!" Gong Caiju looked at Director Gu and said.

"Aunt Gong, I understand what you mean, okay, I'll say it first, and later, you can add, especially Zhang Guangnan's every move when he lives here, the two old men should recall it."

"Director Gu, don't worry, I won't let them rot in my stomach."

"Captain Zhao, that's right, this Zhang Guangnan works at the post office, and was arranged by the post office to take care of the package in the warehouse because of misappropriation of remittances. He was a man who had made mistakes, and in the past, he was addicted to gambling, and I caught him twice, because of these things, his wife divorced him. Now, whether he bets or not, I don't know. Director Gu said.

"Auntie, when Zhang Guangnan lived here, how many people were there?"

"He's alone."

"Just him?"

"That's right! Director Gu has just said that his wife divorced him. ”

"Doesn't Zhang Guangnan have children?"

"There are two children, a boy and a girl, but they are all with their wives."

"Why does Zhang Guangnan live in two wings alone? With the addition of the hall, there are three houses in total. ”

"Zhang Guangnan has a lot of contacts, he likes to put on a show, two side rooms, one is a place to sleep, one is a study, and the hall is a place to eat and meet guests, is he a person? Our impression of him is that he loves cleanliness, loves to be exquisite, likes to socialize, and loves face. Although he doesn't get much money, he is poor and exquisite. ”

"Can you give one or two specific examples?"

"The cigarettes he smokes at home are a few cents a pack, but when he entertains guests, he uses more than one pack of cigarettes, and usually, he always has a pack of good cigarettes in his pocket."

"What else?"

"He moved in first, so he used the kitchen first, and after we moved in, it was supposed to be a shared kitchen, and a few days later, we found out that every time we cooked a dish, he had to wash the pot several times, wipe the stove several times, and before washing the pot and wiping the table, he had to boil a little boiling water and scrub the pot, lid and stove several times. Later, we simply bought a coal stove and cooked and ate separately, and the children were divided into households, and the rice was easy to cook - sometimes we could eat a little if we could. ”

"Although we lived in a courtyard for about a month, we were very impressed by him." The old man said.

"Did you see him carrying a big bag—or a pocket or something?" Lime must be in a larger bag – or pocket.

"How do you know?" Gong Caiju's eyes widened.

"Auntie, tell us in detail."

"In addition to working at the post office, Zhang Guangnan also did a little business."

"What business does he do?"

"Flip the costume upside down, go to the General's Temple at night and set up a stall - he has a stall in the General's Temple."

Wouldn't it be necessary to use a larger bag – or pocket – for a garment upside down?

"Zhang Guangnan has a bicycle, and the bag and pocket are strapped to the back seat of the bicycle and brought back." Gong Caiju's husband said, "Since the upside-down clothes, he has smoked cigarettes for more than a dollar, he looks at the package at the post office, there is nothing to do, and he often sleeps at work, so he is in good spirits at night." ”

Carrying lime and cement in bags and pockets for clothes will not be cared for by others. Now it's time to mention the pile of bricks in the yard.

"Could you please seriously recall, when you moved out, was the pile of bricks in the yard still there?"

The husband and wife looked at each other. Regarding the pile of bricks, the couple didn't seem to care in particular.

"When we moved in, the pile of bricks was still there, and I can't remember it until we moved away, old man, think about it."

The old man shook his head: "Ten days before we moved out, we were looking for houses everywhere, busy packing things, and we didn't even wash or dry our clothes—only when we were drying our clothes—we would see the pile of bricks—the rope for drying our clothes was next to that pile of bricks." ”

"Yes, the old man is right, if I dry my clothes, I will put the basin on the pile of bricks. Before I moved out, the pile of bricks was not there, and we couldn't talk about it, and it was hard to talk about things that we couldn't eat. ”

The case was stuck in the most critical place, but Gong Caiju's next paragraph made Zhao Zimeng regain his confidence: "Captain Zhao, I think of something. ”

"Auntie, please speak."

"About a month before we moved out, I went to Zhangjiapu with the old man, and the old man's nephew got married, and his sister took us to Zhangjiabao two days in advance, and we stayed in Zhangjiabao for five days before coming back."

"When you go to Zhangjiabao, are there any other people in the house?"

"No, our family went."

Four or five days, build a wall, time is enough.

"When I came back, I could smell it as soon as I walked through the courtyard gate."

"What does it smell like?"

"The smell of lime is the same smell that you often have in a freshly built house."

This smell is only after the mud has passed over the lime wall. This should be a very important situation. No. 157 is an old house, how can it smell of lime. Normally, after the lime is plastered, it will emit a strong smell. When the water in the lime is fully volatilized and the lime is completely solidified, there will be no more taste - the water is fully volatilized, and it will definitely not work for a few days. Che's house is an old house - an old house will not smell of lime.
