Trick 4: Prophetic Dream Chapter 22 The Unexpected Landlord
Half an hour later, Wu Yun drove Wei Xiaofeng to the place where they met Wu Qintong on the day they came back from Lianhu.
This area of Beicheng District is one of the several new urban areas that S City has focused on developing in recent years. It was originally a small town that made a living from fishing, but with the construction of a sea-crossing bridge to the east to connect the thousand-island city of Z City a few years ago, Beicheng District has become an important throat connecting S City and Z City, and the S City Government has also begun to vigorously develop Beicheng District.
Driving along the wide roads of the northern city, you can see rows of new residential buildings and shops rising from the ground, but the population here is moving in at a much slower rate than the buildings are being built, so the whole city seems deserted in broad daylight.
However, it is also good that the land is narrow and sparsely populated, even if there is a fart in the east and it will not take an hour to smell it in the west, not to mention the suicide of Wu Qintong last Saturday, which has already spread in this area. Therefore, Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng just casually found a resident and asked, and they knew exactly the specific address of Wu Qintong's residence before his death.
Beicheng Garden, which is a relocation and resettlement community, is less than 300 meters away from their meeting of Wu Qintong last Sunday. The community consists of a six-story small high-rise building and a two-story terraced house, and Wu Qintong lived on the third floor of a small high-rise building in the north of the community before his death.
The two came to the door, and although they had expected that Wu Qintong's mother, who lived in the house, might have moved to another residence, they still knocked tentatively on the door. After waiting for five minutes, when no one came to open the door, and no movement could be heard on the door panel, the two men gave up, then turned and knocked on the door of the neighbor on the other side.
After a while, the door opened, and an old woman with gray hair appeared before them, looking them up and down with a slightly wary and puzzled look.
"Who are you looking for?"
Wu Yun smiled kindly and said softly, "Grandma, hello." Sorry to disturb you......"
Before Wu Yun could finish speaking, the old woman hurriedly pulled the door and wanted to close the door, and said in her mouth: "I don't buy anything......"
Wu Yun hurriedly slammed it on the edge of the door and said, "Grandma, you misunderstood, we are not a salesman." ”
The strength in the old woman's hand loosened a little, but the vigilance in her eyes did not diminish by half, and she continued to ask, "Then what are you doing?" ”
"We're from Furniture City." Wu Yun had already thought of an excuse, "Your neighbor bought a set of combination cabinets in our furniture city a month ago, and today we came to her to do a survey on customer satisfaction." We found it according to the address she left, but after knocking on the door for a long time, no one answered, and the phone she left us was never answered. We just want to ask if you know if there are any other people in their family? What is their contact number? ”
The old woman believed Wu Yun's pretended to make up the words, the vigilance in her eyes disappeared, and the hand holding the doorknob also loosened. "The right door, huh? I've been moving out a long time ago! ”
"Early? When did you move out? Wei Xiaofeng asked.
The old woman counted with her fingers and replied, "It must have been five days ago, right?" ”
"Five days ago?" Wei Xiaofeng also calculated slightly, "Last Wednesday? ”
The old woman nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, it's supposed to be last Wednesday."
"Do you know why they're moving?" Wu Yun said knowingly.
There was a hint of sympathy in the old woman's eyes. "The one who lived in the opposite door was a widow named Wu Xiujiang, her husband died early, and her mother's family was out of town, she was alone with a daughter named Xiaotong, not to mention how hard life was. Unfortunately, Xiujiang went out to work during the day last Saturday, and her daughter Xiaotong rested at home alone, and somehow turned on the gas to fill the house, and then died. When Xiujiang came back, she saw that her daughter was dead, and she cried miserably. Alas, it's so sad. Let's talk about it, a woman's family worked hard to pull her daughter to such a big age, and the mother and daughter depended on each other, and the daughter suddenly died like this, can the mother not die sadly? Later, after Xiujiang simply held a funeral and sent his daughter away, he moved away without any movement. ”
Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng also showed a sad look on their faces. This is not to pretend in front of the old woman, but to grieve from the bottom of my heart for the death of that innocent and lovely little girl and the tragic fate of her mother.
Wu Yun asked, "Grandma, do you know where Wu Xiujiang has moved?" ”
The old woman shook her head. "How do I know that? When she moved out, she didn't say hello to the neighbors left and right, and left without any movement, and I only knew that Xiujiang had moved away when I saw the landlord of the house across the door walk into the room to clean up. ”
"Landlord?" Wu Yun raised his eyebrows, "You mean that the house on the other side of the door was not bought by the woman?" Rather, is it rented? ”
"That's right. Just think about it, Wu Xiujiang is alone, and he has to raise children on the one hand, how can he have so much money to buy a house? It's rented. Well, the landlord probably knows where she's moved to. ”
Wu Yun's eyes lit up and asked, "Grandma, do you know where that landlord lives?" ”
The old woman thought for a while and said, "It doesn't seem to live around here, it's quite far away, right?" I don't know exactly. But downstairs on the bulletin board has her rental paper, with her phone number on it, you can take a look. The old tenant has moved away, and this house can't be empty, and it has to be rented out, even if someone has died, I don't know if anyone wants it......"
Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng didn't have the patience to continue listening to the old woman's broken thoughts, so they hurriedly thanked her and said goodbye to her.
Then the two of them knocked on the doors of several houses up and down the building, but they could not find anything useful, so they went downstairs to the bulletin board that the old woman had spoken.
The bulletin board does have an A4 piece of paper printed with the rental information, and the landlord's last name and mobile phone number are written on the bottom line.
Wu Yun didn't say a word, took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end of the phone was very similar to the aunt of the neighborhood committee in Wu Yun's impression.
"Hey, hello. Is it Ms. Qiu? Wu Yun asked politely.
"Yes. Who are you? ”
"Well, that's right. I saw the rental notice you posted......"
"Oh? You want to rent, right? The voice on the other end of the line was full of joy.
"Well, there is this intention. Can you have a detailed interview? Is it inconvenient for us to go to your house? Or maybe you can say something that's convenient for you, and we'll come over. ”
"Where are you now?"
"Right here in Northside Garden."
"Hmm...... Well, you can come to my agency. ”
"Brokers?" Wu Yun was slightly surprised and asked, "This house is not yours?" Do you rent for someone else? ”
"No, the house is indeed mine, but I still run an agency."
"Oh, that's right. So where is your agency located? ”
"Next to the S City Engineering University, Baiyun Intermediary, named after me, is easy to find."
After hearing the familiar name of "S City Engineering University", Wu Yun and Wei Xiaofeng couldn't help but look at each other. Wei Xiaofeng's mind suddenly appeared with the face of an aunt in her fifties, and she blurted out in a low voice: "Won't it?" ”
Wu Yun took the phone away from his ear and asked softly with a little confusion, "Do you know?" ”
Wei Xiaofeng didn't know how to answer, and said vaguely: "Sort of......"
Qiu Baiyun on the other end of the phone waited for a long time without a reply, and called twice anxiously.
Wu Yun hurriedly put the phone back to his ear and said, "Aunt Qiu, I'm listening." The Baiyun intermediary next to S City Engineering University, right? We'll be there in half an hour. ”
Qiu Baiyun replied with satisfaction: "Okay, I'll wait for you." ”
Hanging up the phone, the two hurriedly got into the car and drove towards the S City Engineering University.
"I really can't imagine that I went back to your school after a long time." Wu Yun held the steering wheel, shook his head and laughed.
"I didn't expect the landlord here to be the aunt of the agency next to our school." Wei Xiaofeng leaned back on the passenger seat, sighing in his heart the wonder of fate.
Wu Yun asked curiously, "How did you meet the aunt of that agency?" ”
Wei Xiaofeng sighed lightly and explained in a long-spoken tone: "I also told you before, that is, when I was a freshman, the resentful spirit of Zhong Xiaoye, who was staying in our 418 dormitory, used Xiaoyu sleepwalking to make a series of strange things in the middle of the night, which made the six sisters in our dormitory panic. We asked the school leaders to change the dormitory, but the school leaders didn't agree, so we decided to share a house outside and move out. ”
"I see, so you found the agency next to your school? And after that? ”
"It's hard to find a house for six people, so the aunt enthusiastically said that she would help us find a house, and she would notify us if she found it. But late that night, I bumped into Xiaoyu sleepwalking, and I was so scared that I was hospitalized. After that day, we all thought that those weird things had found a reason, so the matter of renting a house was gone. ”
After understanding the synopsis, Wu Yun shook his head and said, "So that's the case." Then you never dealt with that aunt again? ”
Wei Xiaofeng replied: "Because the direction of the intermediary office and the bus stop is just the opposite, I almost never passed by there later, and there is nothing that needs to be found by the intermediary, so I have never seen it again." ”
"Yes." Wu Yun tapped the steering wheel with his fingers, "There are so many classified information portals on the Internet now, if you need anything, just turn on the computer to connect to the Internet, or use your mobile phone to get an APP, which is much more convenient than directly looking for an intermediary." ”
"Hmm." Wei Xiaofeng nodded. Over the years, the two major classified information portals have been full of advertisements, and she naturally knows it as an advertising student.
"So what about that aunt? Is it good to talk? ”
Wei Xiaofeng recalled and nodded. "I'm very warm-hearted and kind to people."
"That's good." Wu Yun's heart was a little more relaxed. He was afraid that he would meet someone who was not good at talking, and it would be bad if he knew that they were not drunk, and put on a stinky face on the spot.
"And ......," Wei Xiaofeng wanted to say and stopped.
Wu Yun turned his head to look at her. "What?"
Wei Xiaofeng organized the language: "She doesn't seem to be averse to ghosts and the like. ”
