Chapter 153: Hiding from the limelight
Shen Yu finished these words in one breath. Li Yaru did not argue or comment, we got up to say goodbye, and she had no intention of sending us. She was looking down at the red brick floor in the yard, where a few ants were carrying a withered jujube flower.
As soon as she walked out of the door of Lu Aiqiang's courtyard, the door creaked open, and a thin and withered old lady stretched out her head, her eyes were black, and her eyeballs were round, as if they were about to protrude.
She stretched out her hand to stop us and asked, "Comrade policeman, right?" β
"Yes, you're Aunt Jiang, right?" Lin Ying stopped and asked enthusiastically.
Only then did I remember that on the day Luo Laosong was killed, Mrs. Jiang, who was on the other side of Lu Aiqiang's house, was also one of the people who witnessed the ghost in flowers.
"Yes, yes, comrade police, can you do me a favor and persuade Yaru to move away and hide from the limelight if you can't do it these days?"
"Ah, what are you hiding?"
"What a ghost! People say that it only targets people who have done something wrong. Aren't the 'Yuntang Three Treasures' all dead, didn't they all see dirty things before they died? Yaru's husband is still lying in the hospital, and I heard that he is likely to become a vegetative person. In this way, her sin will be great! What if the ghost comes to her for her life? Hurry up and persuade her to move away! β
"Auntie, you saw that ghost that day, right?" Shen Yu asked suddenly.
"Not really! No head, it's scary! Not long ago, a police comrade with a runny nose came to me and took notes. β
- Needless to say, that slug must be the tarpon.
"How tall is it, how fat and thin is it?" Shen Yu asked.
"Girl!" Old Mrs. Jiang said with a complaining tone, "Do you think I dare to take a closer look?" β
"Auntie, you look like a neat person, I believe in your eyesight and memory, if you close your eyes and think about it, you will definitely be able to recall something."
Hearing Shen Yu's praise, Mrs. Jiang suddenly became happy, she said "I want to think about it", and then rolled her eyes and frowned and recalled, probably because the scene at that time was really terrifying, and her face became more and more pale.
"The ghost, with broad shoulders, looked light, as if his whole body was covered in the cloth. There is also a hole on the neck, as if there is half a piece of bloody flesh, but there is no head - you have seen the earlier performance of "Liao Zhai", it is exactly the same as the ghost who stood up after cutting off his head! β
Old Madam Jiang's voice suddenly rose when she spoke this, and her shrill voice was simply immersiveβin the night, in the moonlight, a headless wild ghost with a severed head was wandering in the deep alley. Even the thought of this scene gives me goosebumps all over my body.
"So, you better persuade Yaru to move away, not only afraid that something will happen to her, but also that I am afraid of myself! In the past few nights, if there is a little movement outside, I can't sleep all night! Even the wind blowing through the window glass, I can hear it clearly, it can scare me half to death! If it goes on like this, I'm going to be mentally ill! β
"Auntie, don't worry, we can't control whether Li Yaru moves or not, but we can catch the ghost, as long as the ghost is caught, won't the matter be solved?"
"Huh? Can the police still catch ghosts? Comrades, you don't know, Yuntang Town has been in chaos these days! Don't say how many people died, don't say that the ghost asks for their lives, and don't say that the electric pole on a street is down, it's all mysterious in broad daylight! I've heard people say that on a sunny day, there are figures flying around in the sky! Hell in the day! If you can catch them, catch them all! β
I saw that the more Mrs. Jiang talked, the more she was about to shake off all the "flying immortals" that Hua Hu had in the town yesterday, so I hurried over to comfort her.
Fortunately, the more she spoke, the more excited she became, and even her expressions and movements became chattering, and Lin Ying didn't pay much attention to what she said later.
Shen Yu approached me and muttered in a low voice, "You two did a good job." β
"I've sent her away." I say.
"Don't worry, even if she doesn't leave, I'll find a way to get her away tonight."
"Are you ready to self-harm?" I asked.
"Shut up!"
"Teacher Shen, where are you going to go next?" Lin Ying turned around and asked us.
"Yao Xia's family, it's Shang Weimin's son's family, after all, their mother and son are still suspicious." Shen Yu shouted to the front.
"Come on, Xiaoyu, hurry up and arrange a car! When I heard Li Yaru say it just now, I probably guessed what the door was. Now that Mr. Shen is so targeted, I guess we are not far from solving the case! β
β¦β¦
Yao Yufeng has been restless at home.
Since the death of my husband, people from the police station and police station have come frequently, and every time they come, they have to ask many questions, and the questions are different every time.
Sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night, and she has to memorize the prepared words again, and every time she answers a question, she deliberately slows down and carefully thinks about the words, for fear of saying a wrong word and saying a word.
She is not afraid that things will implicate herself, she is afraid of ruining her son's future. She is even ready to find a way to stand up and take the blame if the matter is revealed.
Every time the police officer left after questioning, he would tell her not to go out recently, and if there was a situation they would come back at any time, so she was even more worried.
She didn't dare to go out, for fear that if the police came to ask, there was no one at home, and she was considered to have a ghost in her heart to escape; But she was particularly afraid of the police, and her hearing seemed to be infinitely amplified lately, and at the slightest movement at the door, she bounced off the sofa like a frightened bird.
Fortunately, she was well prepared, and the visiting police officers generally only asked the same type of questions, such as the conflict between husband and wife, the dispute between Shang Weimin and Yao Xia's father and son, the whereabouts of her and Yao Xia's mother and son that night, and so on.
Although Yao Yufeng is not a smart person, she has studied these questions thoroughly for so many days, and her back is very ripe - although she is panicked, she still has a little confidence in her heart, as a certain "stakeholder" of the deceased, she has been able to face the repeated questioning of the police wheels with rich experience.
But the policemen who came today were different, they were three women and one man, and they didn't seem to have any intention of asking the same old questions.
"When you divorced, how old was Yao Xia, did the children choose to follow you?"
"Sixteen, I'm just going to high school. At that time, Xiao Xia had to appear in court, and he said something in court, to the effect that his father was brutal and violent, and he drank so much that he had made all the money he earned, and he felt that he would not be happy with him. Later, the judge adopted the child's personal opinion. β
"Has his father always been obsessed with this?"
"I guess so, but at first he didn't target his son, he targeted me. His father's biggest problem is not drinking, nor is he crazy, nor is he swaying and incompetent, his biggest problem is that he always feels justified, and he always feels that he is the most correct person in the world. β
