Chapter 40: "The Female Ghost"

[The water filter at home is leaking, flowing all over the house, wiping the old for a long time, and twisting the old waist, climbing up to update, don't blame if it's late... Boom... 】

Early the next morning, the two of them set off early to go to the Public Security Bureau, Tang Hongye and Yang Cheng had a good talk again, apologized for their previous decision, and thanked Yang Cheng for the special arrangement, Yang Cheng didn't say anything, he was still very relieved to see that Tang Hongye was no longer drilling.

Now that Tang Hongye is no longer on the tip of the bull's horns, then all the work can continue according to the original task assignment. The day before, Tang Hongye spent a lot of time investigating Fan Jiying, but he gained little, Fan Jiying's image outside can be said to be the same as Lin Jie, they are all set up perfectly, it seems that the person who knows has been welded to death again, kicking the ball back and forth, even without revealing anything.

After such a busy work, Tang Hongye was already pleasantly surprised when he heard about the progress of Du Juan's investigation with Fang Yuan and them about Zhang Shuying the day before, and without saying a word, he followed Du Juan to the address sent by Li Huihui, wanting to see if he could find Zhang Shuying or someone who knew Zhang Shuying's whereabouts.

As for the phone number, both of them felt that since Zhang Shuying was so careful, it was estimated that a mobile phone number would not be used for so long, so it was safer to go straight to the address of the rented house and ask.

The address provided by Li Huihui is located in a very remote part of City A, and the residential buildings are already very old, and it is estimated that there was no planning when it was built in the early years, so the construction was also chaotic and disorderly, because the years are too long, and there is not even a mark marking the building number on the outer wall of the building, and the two of them really took a lot of effort to finally find there according to the address, but unfortunately, there was no one in that household at all, Tang Hongye originally wanted to inquire through the surrounding neighbors, As a result, no one answered the door at all in the two neighbors next door, and judging from the fact that the door was either posted or stuffed with all kinds of small advertisements, it is estimated that none of these three families lived, and this state should have lasted for a while.

Two people can't knock on the door of this floor, so they simply go downstairs and knock on the door to inquire about the neighbor downstairs, there are people in the neighbor's house downstairs, it is an old lady in her seventies, she said that no one has lived in her upstairs for a long time, someone lived there before, because of the general sound insulation effect of the floor, when there is someone in the house, the old lady who lives downstairs is clear.

"Auntie, can you help us recall, have you ever seen this person? Is it the person who lived above you before? Du Juan took out the photo of Zhang Shuying that she had prepared in advance and handed it to the old lady, hoping that she could help identify it. The old lady was old, and her hearing was not very good, and when she spoke, the cuckoo had to get as close as possible, and had to raise her voice so that the old lady would not hear clearly.

"Ah, okay, then I'll take a look! I need to reminisce about it! The old lady knew that the two young people who came to her house to inquire about things were policemen, so she was not guarded, but the people behind the ears generally had one thing in common, that is, because of the back of the ears, others needed to speak to her very loudly, and she would also use a relatively loud voice when talking to others. When the old lady opened her mouth, her voice was loud enough, and the cuckoo was so shocked that there was a little buzzing in her ears for a while.

The old lady is also a strict person, took the photo, looked at it carefully, and looked at it seriously for a long time, then nodded and said, "It seems to be a bit like the female ghost who lived upstairs in my house before!" ”

"Female ghosts?" When Tang Hongye heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"It means that she didn't live like a person that day!" The old lady pouted, "This is not my old brain, don't look at me in my seventies, my mind is still very open-minded, just those young stars and actors who always come out of TV now, I can also name seven or eight out of ten!" ”

"Auntie, then you are much better than me!" Tang Hongye saw that the old lady was very talkative, and he had the heart to talk to her more, "Now those stars on TV, I can't even name one or two out of ten!" ”

"Can it be the same, how busy you are all day and night as a policeman! My old lady also watches legal programs, and I know that you are all hard work in this business! The old lady said in a very understanding tone, "I'm different, how many years have I been retired!" I have nothing to do all day long, and I still have grandchildren at home, so I watch more TV, find a common language with the children, and don't let people think that my old lady is old and antique, and they don't like to take care of me. ”

"Then can you tell us more about this girl who lived upstairs before, why doesn't she usually live like a person?" Tang Hongye took advantage of the situation and continued to ask more important questions.

"Well, I think, this person is not a mouse, and it can't always be light, right?" The old lady said with a disapproving face, "That little girl, she is at home all day long, and I can hear her walking upstairs from morning to night, and then she doesn't go out, and there is always the person who delivers the courier who comes to the house to deliver things to her." Oh, it's not like I eavesdropped on her, it's someone who found the wrong door and knocked on our house, and I realized that the little girl upstairs bought everything from that online and didn't go out. ”

"So you think she's like a female ghost because she doesn't go out?"

"That's not it, I said she looks like a female ghost, because she is always sneaky, I have a few times, at night there are guests at home, I send the guests away, open the door, or open the door to do something, anyway, every time it is after dark, she goes out, and when she goes out, she wears a big mask or a big scarf or something, and the face is blocked tightly, and she can't see the appearance clearly. Not only that, but she walked as if she was on her feet, as if she was afraid to make a noise that would be discovered. You say, you don't go out in the daytime, you go out after dark, you can't see your face, you don't make a sound when you walk, you don't even know how to say hello when you see someone, you lower your head, and you hurry away like oil under your feet, this is not like a ghost. ”

In fact, I was not busy listening to it, the old lady should have had a kind of anger when she said this, and it was obvious that she did not have much affection for the neighbor who lived upstairs before.

However, her statement made Du Juan and Tang Hongye a little confused.

"Auntie, you said that every time she went out and went downstairs, she would cover her face tightly? If that's the case, how do you remember what she looks like? Cuckoo asked.

The old lady sighed and waved her hand: "Don't mention it!" I'm scared when I talk about this! Fortunately, I'm a person, usually bold and in good health, if I change to a weaker body and a little timid, I will explain it on the spot! Once, when I went out to take out the garbage, the back of my head was on the stairs, my face was on the inside, and I was locking the door with the key, and the little girl 'floated' down from the upper floor, and when I turned my head, I saw a big white face, eyebrows, nose, eyes, mouth, and I couldn't see anything! It's like the white impermanence in the chat, and he has long hair on his head. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at my old lady, I was not mentally prepared at all, I was so frightened that I sat on the ground with a butt. ”

"How so? That's scary! Tang Hongye looked at the old lady's palpitating appearance, and he could also expect that she must have been frightened at that time.

"That little girl put a layer of mask or something on her face, the white flowers are pasted, it's really scary, it's a shame that it wasn't dark at the time, and the corridor could still see the light, otherwise Zhende 2 scared me to death!" The old lady stroked her chest as she spoke, "I guess the little girl also saw that I was indeed frightened by her, so she quickly ripped off the things on her face, and I saw her appearance clearly that time." She's okay, come and pull me up, but I'm not happy, I'm so old, I'm scared by her for a while, my heart is not counting, my legs are weak, logically speaking, should I apologize? As a result, when she pulled me up, she didn't intend to say anything to me, so I reprimanded her, and after I finished talking about her, she didn't say a word, turned her head and went upstairs, and never went down again. ”

"Is there any follow-up after this incident?" Cuckoo asked.

"That's not true, when I called my daughter to complain, my daughter also told me that I shouldn't quarrel with that little girl, she lives upstairs in my house, and if it makes me a little bad, jumping on top of my head in the middle of the night, banging and throwing things, then I don't need to sleep. As a result, this kind of thing didn't happen later, I later told my daughter, I said I regretted it a little, although the little girl's upbringing may be a little problematic, there is no politeness, and the living habits are quite strange, but at least the character is not much bad, it should not be a bad girl, my attitude towards her that day is a little fierce, not very should. ”

Du Juan nodded after hearing this, thinking silently in her heart, this aunt didn't know Zhang Shuying's personal situation, if she knew that the girl upstairs of her house that she didn't like very much, and actually intervened in other people's families, she didn't know what kind of feeling the old lady would have, and would she think that Zhang Shuying's "character is not so bad, not a bad girl".

"Auntie, do you know when she moved from the upper floor of your house?" Cuckoo asked.

"I really can't remember the specific day, I'm an old lady, how many years have I been retired, what day of the week, what day of the month, I don't have much concept at all," the old lady shook her head, "I just have a little impression that one day when I was taking a nap, I suddenly heard a loud sound upstairs, and then banged on the ground without knowing what, and I woke up scared, and listened to it for a long time, it seemed that the two of them were quarreling, a man, a woman, what was the noise couldn't be heard clearly, I just felt that the noise was very fierce, and the woman didn't know what she was shouting. The man also roared very loudly, and the more I listened downstairs, the more I felt uneasy, so I went to meddle with a nossy matter, and I went up and knocked on the door, saying what are you doing so loudly! It's too disturbing! I've called the police and the police will be coming soon! ”

After the old lady finished speaking, she showed a somewhat sly smile to Du Juan and Tang Hongye quite proudly: "I was so scared, the people there were really scared, a man opened the door and apologized to me with a smile on his face, saying that he was embarrassed or something, a misunderstanding." I stretched out my head and saw that the little girl was crying inside, and I said that I called the police anyway, and the police will come immediately, and the man hurried away! I didn't expect the little girl to thank me or anything, I saw that the man was gone, and I hurried back. Not long after, there was no movement upstairs at all, and I guess people don't live here anymore. Later, the original family upstairs came back to pack up their things and rented them out, but on our side, how can we rent it so well, and we haven't rented it out until now. ”

"What did that man look like then, and can you still remember it now?" As soon as Tang Hongye heard this, his heart moved, and he suddenly became a little excited in his heart, but he didn't expect that this old lady not only had an impression of Zhang Shuying, but even saw Lin Jie, "If you see the photo, can you recognize him?" ”

"Almost, you let me say, I can't tell, I just remember that the age is not too young, much younger than me, but compared with that little girl, she is almost able to be a father to others!"

Tang Hongye gave Du Juan a look, and Du Juan pulled out a few photos from his mobile phone, including Lin Jie, and also the photos of the male people involved in the case in the mobile phone when investigating other cases before, so that the old lady could see if the person she bumped into at the beginning was among these people, so that the accuracy of the old lady's words could be determined. It's not that they don't believe the old lady's words, it's just that the old man's age is there after all, and sometimes his memory is not necessarily very good, and it is very possible that there will be some deviations.

The old lady identified Du Juan's mobile phone for a long time, this time I don't know if it was because there were a lot of objects to identify, so she also seemed a little hesitant, but after some comparison, she finally pointed to the photo of one of the people and said to Du Juan: "It should be this person!" ”

Du Juan and Tang Hongye saw that the person in the photo was really Lin Jie himself.

"Has this man ever been here since?" Tang Hongye asked.

The old lady thought for a while and shook her head: "No, it shouldn't be." I scared him that day and said that he was going to call the police, and he left quickly, and then I was afraid, afraid that this person was not someone who did something bad, so I was also on guard for a long time, and then that person never appeared again. ”
