Chapter 17: The Resentment of a Middle-Aged Woman
When the middle-aged woman heard Wang Shen's words, she leaned out and glanced at Han Mo's door. After that, the middle-aged woman immediately shrank her body back, trembled exaggeratedly, and shook her head. "That one? People have been dead for years. Besides, I don't know that family well. If it weren't for watching the news, I wouldn't have known that the house was actually a celebrity. ”
"On the night of June 18 three years ago, the night of the crime, did you hear any movement?" Wang Shen ignored the exaggerated movements and expressions of the middle-aged woman, and cut directly to the topic.
"That day...... middle-aged woman raised her head slightly, her brows tightly knit, as if trying to remember the events of that day. Yes! The middle-aged woman slapped her palm. It wasn't a peaceful day. The middle-aged woman's face suddenly lit up, probably because there was gossip to talk about.
"Not peaceful? Sister, can you explain a little bit clearly? ”
"It was a lot of noise that night." The middle-aged woman touched her hair, then suddenly stopped the movements in her hand, her expression was shy, and she whispered: "However, the room usually does not stop." Young people, you can understand. After saying that, the middle-aged woman covered her mouth embarrassedly and laughed.
Wang Shen was not interested in the gossip in the mouths of middle-aged women, and immediately led the topic back. "There was a lot of noise in the house that night? Sister, do you hear what's going on? Wang Shen was looking forward to the answer from the middle-aged woman's mouth. Because Wang Shen felt that with her gossip personality, she should have made some inquiries that night.
"Ugh." The middle-aged woman sighed, a little interested. "The sound insulation of this house is really not good, but it still has some sound insulation. I listened to it against the wall that day, and I couldn't really hear what they were saying. However, they should be arguing, or the kind that quarrels fiercely. The middle-aged woman looked at Wang Shen with a serious face, and nodded seriously after speaking.
"They? Who are they talking about? ”
"Of course it's the man and the woman." The middle-aged woman revealed her disdain for Wang Shen, and couldn't believe that Wang Shen had listened to it for so long, but she hadn't heard about the entanglement of men and women in the house.
"Have you seen that man before?" Wang Shen was a little excited, and even the speed of his speech became faster.
Disappointingly, the middle-aged woman shook her head. "I've seen women once or twice, but she's such a beauty. As for the man, I was surprised that I hadn't met him once. I think they did it on purpose. The man deliberately avoided us, coming late at night and leaving late at night. But when you think about it, I can understand it. Everyone understands that little thing between men and women. A woman is so accomplished at a young age, either willing to pay or willing to be human. The middle-aged woman was sneaky when she spoke, and her eyes glanced at Han Mo's door from time to time, as if she was worried that what she said would be heard by Han Mo's wandering spirit. However, such worries could not stop the middle-aged woman from describing it with great interest.
After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Wang Shen was even more sure of the guess in his heart. In Han Mo's social relationships, there must be an unknown man. As for who this man is and what role he plays by Han Mo's side, it is still uncertain. When the police searched Han Mo's house, they did not find any trace of the man. Wang Shen guessed that someone must have been carefully handled. But who will be this person dealing with the traces? If it is really this mysterious man, then the possibility of Han Mo being killed is very high.
"When did they end their quarrel?"
"It's almost past nine." The middle-aged woman stretched out her fingers and fiddled with her nails while absentmindedly answering Wang Shen's question.
"It's been so long, and you still remember it so clearly?" Wang Shen looked at the middle-aged woman in disbelief.
"No, I have a good memory. If you don't believe me, you can go to the one in charge of our piece, the damn shit of the shit. I happened to bump into him as I went downstairs. The middle-aged woman gave Wang Shen a blank look. And I was going downstairs to take out the garbage that night when I happened to meet the man. ”
"What? Do you see the man? Wang Shen's eyes widened, this was really an unexpected gain.
"That's right." The middle-aged woman couldn't understand Wang Shen's excited reaction, and nodded with a blank expression. "It's just a back, though." The middle-aged woman looked at her nails again and rubbed the nail polish on her nails.
"Back?" Wang Shen was slightly disappointed. "Can you describe how tall he is, what clothes he wears, whether he is fat or thin, what his hairstyle is, whether he wears glasses or not?"
The middle-aged woman looked up at Wang Shen again and opened her mouth slightly. The middle-aged woman was obviously at a loss for the large number of questions raised by Wang Shen. The middle-aged woman closed her mouth, calmed down, looked at Wang Shen and said, "How can I look so carefully." No, I can't have seen that. By the time I opened the door, he had already reached the top of the stairs. Well, it's already there. The middle-aged woman said as she pointed to the corner of the dark staircase behind Wang Shen. That night, the damn hallway light was broken, too. It was pitch black, and I could only see a rough outline. After speaking, the middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly lit up, and she looked at Wang Shen and continued: "However, that person shouldn't be fat, I guess he must be a handsome guy, just like you police officer." The middle-aged woman laughed after speaking.
Wang Shen had already opened his notebook, and the pen in his hand was about to write something. After listening to the middle-aged woman's description, Wang Shen's excited mood disappeared in an instant. According to the description of the uncle who handled the garbage and the middle-aged woman in front of him, the man in the two mouths should be the same man. There must be a great connection between this man and Han Mo's suicide.
"Big sister." Wang Shen smiled at the middle-aged woman. "Did you hear any other strange sounds that night besides their quarrels? Like knocking on a wall or using the sound of some tools? ”
"This ......" The middle-aged woman frowned again, thought for a moment and then shook her head. Not really. If there are really those sounds, just by virtue of the sound insulation of this broken house, it will disturb the people at night, and the old lady will definitely come to the door to theorize. ”
Wang Shen thought to himself. The purpose of Wang Shen's question was to find the possibility of cracking the secret room. But judging from the investigation of the crime scene, Han Mo's house is a fully enclosed space that has not been damaged by external forces. Now, with the middle-aged woman's statement, Wang Shen completely discarded the absurd possibility of escaping through a device.
"Eldest sister, did you hear anything when you walked downstairs? It's under your building. ”
"Nope." The middle-aged woman shook her head.
"Just now you said that you met a man handling garbage downstairs, do you remember what he was doing at that time?"
"Him!" When the middle-aged woman heard Wang Shen mention the uncle who handled the garbage, she immediately raised her voice, her eyes widened, as if there was some deep hatred between them. "I'll tell you, I'm angry at the mention of the one who collected the rags. That damn ragged person actually accused the old lady, you say that you are angry or not. The middle-aged woman said as she put her hand on her waist. The words were also a little incoherent.
"Eldest sister, you are angry, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you. Let's talk slowly. Wang Shen said, giving the middle-aged woman a warm smile.
The middle-aged woman took a breath and calmed down. "Who's to say it isn't. Where am I such an unqualified person. The middle-aged woman's mood seemed to calm down and she began to describe what had happened. I was also happy to go square dancing that day. As soon as I walked out of the unit building, I was stopped by the damn shit collector. He pointed to a large pile of rubbish on the floor, then pointed to my nose and asked me if I had thrown it down from the upper floor. I'm sure I won't admit it. Moreover, it was really not thrown by the old lady. I didn't believe the damn one who collected the rags, but I didn't say that the old lady threw it, I was angry, and I scolded him on the spot. He's really easy to mess with as an old lady......" The middle-aged woman said as she spoke, her emotions became unconsciously excited, as if she wanted to confide in Wang Shen about the bitterness of the past few years.
Wang Shen didn't want to destroy the middle-aged woman's desire to talk, but Wang Shen didn't listen to the middle-aged woman's words. According to the middle-aged woman's account, the garbage was already scattered on the ground when she went downstairs. To put it simply, the sound of the uncle who handles the garbage should have heard before the middle-aged woman went downstairs. According to this time, when they threw out the garbage, the man they all met should still be in Han Mo's house. According to the uncle who handles the garbage, a lot of the garbage is men's clothes. According to this reasoning, it should be the man who packed all the personal belongings left in Han Mo's house. Then the mysterious man, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, threw his personal belongings from Han Mo's windowsill. In this way, Wang Shen can know two things. First, the mysterious man knew that under Han Mo's balcony was the garbage can. Second, the mysterious man knows a fixed time to dispose of garbage every day. That's why you can rest assured and boldly throw away the garbage. Even if Han Mo's death was discovered, the bag of garbage containing the man's clothes would have been disposed of long ago when the police arrived.
Thoughtful and well-designed. Wang Shen couldn't help but admire this mysterious man in his heart. Further in-depth analysis, why can the man have such a clear understanding of the situation in Han Mo's house, including the time to dispose of garbage? Unless he has been following Han Mo for a long time, or he often goes in and out of Han Mo's house.
The middle-aged woman was still chattering about her grievances. Wang Shen comforted and said, "Eldest sister, I definitely believe what you say." From the conversation I just had with you, I knew you were definitely not that kind of person. ”
"That's right! Officer, it's still you who are sensible. The middle-aged woman's brow finally widened, and the chatter and complaints finally stopped.
"So, eldest sister, are you still going to dance? Then I won't bother you. ”
"Oh! yes, I've got to go. They're going to have to rush. After speaking, the middle-aged woman said hello to Wang Shen, locked the door, and trotted all the way to the staircase.
