I stepped forward and knocked on the door of Zhen's house, but no one responded for a long time. While he was hesitating, suddenly the courtyard door opposite his house creaked open.

"Who are you looking for?" A man with five big and three thick, black and strong, with a stubble on his face asked me.

"No one in their house?" I asked.

"Are you his relative, or friend, or creditor?" The stubble man frowned, looking unkind.

"Hey, why do you care so much?" Hua Hu couldn't help but jump out and say.

The stubble man saw that it was a woman, not only was he not angry, but he smiled.

"It doesn't look like he's in debt - he's the only one in his house, and two days ago he said he was in debt and was going to run out and hide for a while, and asked me to help take care of the yard."

"How do you know we're not creditors?" Hua Fei also fought with him.

"The people who come to collect debts are generally with thugs, and I have never seen a girl with them." He stared at Hua Hu with dripping eyes and said.

"How do you know I'm not a thug?" Hua Hu chased after him.

I quickly pulled her aside, then stepped forward and said, "We are the lawyer entrusted by the creditor, this time we are here to find out the bottom of their family, to see the conditions of their family, to estimate whether this guy can still repay the debt - can you go into the yard to see?" ”

"Yo, he's a gambler, can he meet such a civilized creditor, and find a lawyer? Everyone else came up directly and smashed the door and splashed red paint! The stubble man also stepped out of the courtyard door, "As long as you don't go in and smash and rob directly, I have the key to their yard and can take you in to have a look." ”

"Look, the two of us are empty-handed, are we people who can smash and rob?"

"Yes! You wait! The stubble man finished and closed the door. After a while, he ran out, still holding a dirty key in his hand. He walked to the door of the courtyard door and opened the lock on the courtyard door neatly.

"Zhenzhao is a person, he is tall and big, he is a talent, and he has a good life. His parents are just such a child, and the Yu family is still a small clan in Yuntang, so they were spoiled too much when they were young. A few years ago, as soon as his father and mother died, he didn't know how to live, he was deceived to play with money, and the more he played, the bigger he played, and the family business was so bad that there was only this yard left. ”

The stubble man pushed open the gate, and the gate was connected to a dark doorway, and through the doorway was the courtyard. The yard is very deep, and there is a layer of bricks in it, and there is a big pool in the middle of the yard, and there is indeed a rockery that seems to be unfinished in the pool, and there are a few black shadows swimming around in the water. Bypassing the rockery, there is a sundries shed built with plastic steel plates next to it, and the wheelbarrow is placed on the ground at the door of the shed.

"Why is there a pool in this yard?" I deliberately pointed to the pool first, because the pool was so weird that a normal person would not go straight to the wheelbarrow without looking at the pool.

"Two years ago, this kid gambled and won a lot of money. Gamblers, if you have money, you squander it. As a result, he met a feng shui gentleman who lied to him and told him that water could make money, and asked him to dig a deep pool in the middle of the yard and make it look like a big bonsai.

When the fool heard this, he believed it, and dug out the pond like a well, and then built a rockery, and said that he would plant trees on the mountain and raise koi in the water. I told him right then. Digging a deep pit in the middle of the yard is heart-piercing, not a good thing, persuade him not to do it. As a result, half of the rockery was built, and he exported all the money he had won. The pond was filled with water, but the house was ruined. ”

"Where does the water come from for such a big pool?" I asked.

"Tap water." The stubble man pointed to the west side of the courtyard and said. I saw that there was a faucet over there, and there was a green reticulated hose on it.

I deliberately walked around the yard with my hands behind my back. The yard was clearly well tended before, with large and small flower pots stacked under the wall, and a row of abandoned vine trellises on the other side. Zhenzhao's parents were probably people who liked flowers and plants, but unfortunately after they passed away, their son couldn't take care of them, and these flowers and plants died.

The exterior decoration of the house is not bad, with the kind of mosaic tiles that were popular more than ten years ago, and it looks like the family was really good before.

I walked around and went into the shack, but Hua Hu sniffed around the pool like a police dog.

"Is this a freshly raised fish?" The stubble man stretched out his head to look at it, and sighed, "The water is clear enough." ”

Hua Hu was silent.

In fact, just now far away I smelled the fishy smell in the pool, just now when I passed by also looked in the pool, the strange thing is that it is not a koi, but a snakehead. This fish is ferocious and abnormal, and it eats small fish for a living, and it is generally necessary to feed live fish and shrimp to raise this fish, and the fishy smell is estimated to be like this.

Hua Hu won't smell the fishy smell and start to get hungry, right? This gluttonous guy looks like he's going to take her to sashimi.

I walked around the utility shed, then came out again, looking at the wheelbarrow with my hands on my shoulders.

"Others must be quite lazy, right, why do they still have this thing?" I asked.

"It may have been used by the workers when they dug pools and built rockeries earlier. He doesn't like to work—though he's strong. The stubble man yawned, looking a little sleepy.

I leaned down to look at the wheelbarrow, and there was a lot of sand in the body, and it looked like someone had used it to push over the dirt. The wheels were also covered in dirty, dry mud, indicating that it had been rolled over a ditch or pushed out on a rainy day.

Taking advantage of the stubble man's lack of attention, I reached out and pulled a lump of mud from the wheel dent and put it in my pocket.

To be honest, I'm actually a little sleepy. In the past few days, I have been taking care of the two women in a row, and I am really about to collapse. I thought to myself, after finishing the case in Yuntang Town, I must take a good rest.

But is the case said to be done after it is done? I heard Lin Ying say before that there are old cases in the bureau, and there are still old cases from more than ten years ago that have not been solved. New cases are so difficult to investigate, and old cases may be even more difficult.

I hope that after this case is solved, everyone and everything will be safe, and I can completely calm down to deal with the two problems of Shen Yu and Hua Yu.

In fact, sin is such a thing, or it is a continuous obsession, or a thought, and a thought can become both a Buddha and a demon.

The people and things encountered have created all kinds of thoughts, and thinking about this thing has created all kinds of characters, if there are things that should be put down, and some feelings should be let go, maybe the thoughts after that will be different, and the road of life after that will be different - in this life, how can there be a few knots that cannot be solved?

This may also be the difference between me and Shen Yu, for example, the encounter with the black boat is an eternal concern in her heart, and for me, it was just an afternoon in my childhood.
