Chapter 32: Ten Years of Neighbors with Demons (12)
"Mrs. Chen, I'm from the insurance company."
A man in a crisp suit knocked on a door.
This is an old apartment, only five floors, after entering the door a damp smell blows in the face, the wooden stairs creak, and the original Xie family's old mansion apartment world is different, this is Taipei, life is not easy, living here are poor.
The door opened, and a withered old lady looked at him: "What are the people from the insurance company looking for me?" I don't have the money to buy insurance. ”
"You're Mrs. Chen, Chen Meilan, right?" The man politely took a salute, "I'm from the insurance company, and my surname is Nan." ”
"No matter what your surname is, you must have found the wrong person, I'm very poor, I have no children, no daughters, nothing, a lonely wife, it's already very good to have a place to live, how can you afford to buy insurance, you go." As he spoke, he was about to close the door.
The young man pushed the old woman away, strode in, and slammed the door shut.
"Who are you? Someone, help......"
Mrs. Chan was about to shout loudly, but the man covered her mouth, and Mrs. Chan trembled with fright.
"Don't shout, or I'll strangle you." The man whispered in her ear, his voice fierce, "Since I dare to come in, I have already stepped on it before, there are few people in the building today, and no one can hear you shouting, and ......" He smiled evilly, "Before you could shout, I already snapped your neck." ”
The old woman shook her head tremblingly.
"Let go of you, don't scream, you know?" Zhao Nan threatened viciously.
The old woman nodded hurriedly, Zhao Nan let go of her hand, the old woman gasped, put her hand against her throat, coughed a few times and asked, "That woman sent you." ”
Zhao Nan was shocked: That woman?
"yes, you know. There is a debtor who is wronged. You just did the ghost and went to the woman. "Zhao Nan deliberately misled.
"Unexpectedly, she would be wiped out, too, I have also figured it out in the past few years, she is getting along with us with a purpose, and there is no past affection, I know that there will always be such a day."
The old woman said this, but calmly, and smiled sadly: "I am 74 years old, and I can live a good life, I hope you don't make me suffer if you do a little bit." ”
"I'm a killer." Zhao Nan said coldly, "But what the person who hired me said is different from what you said, I have to make it clear when I kill people." Tell me about your grievances. ”
The old woman heard that the killer's accent was different from that of the Taiwanese at this moment, like a northerner, and asked suspiciously: "What did the woman say to you?" ”
"She said you were her enemy."
"Enemies? Hahaha. The old woman let out a hoarse laugh, "She said I was her enemy, no, no, I just saw that she was not the little sister she used to be, maybe she looked like a little sister, but inside she was a terrible soul." ”
Sure enough, Lin Xiaomei had a problem, and Zhao Nan pretended to be distressed and said to herself: "How can this be, I hate others for lying to me the most, and we are also principled to be killers, Mrs. Chen killed you to kill people according to what you said?" ”
"Yes, because I found out her secret, she speaks in Japanese!"
Zhao Nan was stunned: Talking in Japanese in his dreams! But he deliberately said: "Nothing, maybe she is better at Japanese, wasn't Taiwan a Japanese colony in the early years?" The older generation all studied Japanese, so you studied it for a few years when you were a child, right? ”
"No, no, after all, it's not a native language, how can it be possible to use sleep talk or Japanese, unless, that person's mother tongue is actually Japanese, which is her inadvertent expression."
Mrs. Chen smiled: "This is her secret, we were in our 20s at the time, we were still good friends, that time I lived in her house, a room, I couldn't sleep, tossing and turning, because it was a rainy night, or the death day of Lili's family, I was very panicked." She slept comfortably, and suddenly she rolled over and said a word in Japanese, which I could hear very clearly, and what she said was that I would definitely protect this place. ”
"And then, you just told her?"
Zhaonan's heart gradually sank, and he was Japanese again!
"Of course I'm not so stupid, young man, I'm a person who has read the country, and in our time, there were not many girls who finished the country."
Mrs. Chen knew that she was not the opponent of this killer, so she simply didn't feel afraid, thinking that it would be better to say more and slowly dispel this person's killing intent, or delay time, and wait for someone in the corridor to walk by and shout loudly, maybe there is still a chance to call for help. Thinking like this, she continued to tell slowly: "Later, I tried several times and asked her how her Japanese was, saying that I wanted to learn Japanese when I was in college, but she actually replied that I didn't understand it at all, and I had forgotten what I learned from adults when I was a child, and said that we studied after the liberation, so how could we learn that thing." ”
Mrs. Chen spread her hands: "So this is her secret." Japanese is her mother tongue, she is Japanese, but she has been hiding her Japanese identity, and her father, only she has a daughter, I think about it carefully, they didn't see her mother when they moved here, it is said that her mother died early, his father died later, and there was no funeral, she finished it alone, there were no relatives to come to the door to mourn, all this is strange, the more I think about it, the more I feel scared, so I quickly moved out of Yongsheng Township by getting married, and gradually cut off contact with my sister, I didn't expect so many years, She's still going to kill me, what did she do? Why hide your identity? Could she be a spy? ”
The old woman listened intently to the voices in the hallway as she spoke.
There was a sound of footsteps, and she shouted, "Help." At the same time, he ran desperately to the door.
"Someone is going to kill me!"
The old woman opened the door, and two middle-aged women walked by the door with vegetables, startled: "What? Call the police! ”
The women screamed.
The screams of two women of this age were enough to burst a floor, and soon, someone from downstairs ran over: "What's wrong?" ”
Hearing that the bad guy was in the room, a bold neighbor pushed the door open, and Mrs. Chen's room was empty.
"Mrs. Chen, you're old, aren't you, where is anyone?"
"yes, you must have had a nightmare." The woman who had returned from grocery shopping stroked her chest.
Everyone looked around the room, but they didn't see any killers or young people. When the men left, Mrs. Chan looked around tremblingly and found a thick envelope on the sofa.
"Yes...... Threatening letters? She thought about it, picked up the envelope, opened it and saw that the whole person was stunned.
It's money! It's a lot of money!
That killer gave her a lot of money, cash!
Did I really have a dream?
Zhao Nan saw that there was no one around, quietly jumped from the balcony on the second floor, looked back at the window when he left, and silently blessed in his heart: This money can make your life a little better, at least you can eat a little good things every day.
