"The owner of the house is called Wang Ren, and their ancestors have been undignified, and later moved to live in Wanshui District. Even then, he's a lot better than us. The entire yard of No. 86 belonged to theirs, and the demolition resulted in several houses. The woman introduced.

"People are still in good luck. The ancestors accumulate virtue, they don't have to go to work, and they can live a comfortable life with rent. The woman next to her accosted, her tone full of envy.

Ji Si'an and Luo Li are not interested in Wang Ren's family history, they are concerned about his current whereabouts.

"And does he still live here?" Luo Li asked anxiously.

"In. His house is in the front of the community Building 8. There are several houses in his house, and I don't know his exact address. However, at this point, he should be listening to the radio at the entrance of Unit 6 of Building 8. My family is also in that community, and I often meet him. The woman next to her knew more about Wang Ren.

After getting the useful information, Ji Si'an and Luo Li thanked each other and ended the conversation.

Not long after they entered the community and walked along the main road, they heard loud music coming from the door of the building on the left. From the songs played, it can be roughly inferred that the age of the player should not be young.

Ji Si'an subconsciously looked at the sign on the outside of the building on the left-hand side, and it really read a few big characters in Building 8. That's him. They looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the source of the sound.

In the distance, a slightly scruffy old man in a brown jacket and blue pants with gray hair sat in front of Unit 6 of Building 8.

As if sensing someone coming, he opened his eyes and leaned in their direction, as the chair under him swayed a few times in his movements.

Ji Si'an looked at the recliner that was too old to see the background, and couldn't help but worry that it would collapse with his movements.

"You're not from this community, are you?"

Before they could speak, the uncle had already asked them alertly.

"Uncle, you are amazing. We were indeed the first time in this neighborhood. Lori slapped her ass silently.

"That's ...... I've lived in this place for decades, and I can tell at a glance who is foreign and who is a permanent resident. The old man had a smug smile on his face.

"Really? You're awesome! We were looking for someone to ask you about. Luo Li did not directly explain her intentions, but praised the old man again.

"What do you do? Who are you looking for? The old man did not let his guard down because of their compliments.

Ji Si'an handed the work ID to the old man. "We are lawyers. Does Mr. Wang Ren live here? ”

Because he didn't wear glasses, the old man adjusted his distance several times to see the document clearly. "What are you looking for him?" The old man asked suspiciously.

"We want to ask about his tenant, Yang Xiu." Luo Li said straight to the point.

"I'm Wang Ren, but this Yang Xiu ...... I'm not impressed. The old man frowned.

"He is a reporter for the City God newspaper. In 2007, he disappeared and the police came to investigate. Ji Si'an reminded.

"Oh...... I see, you're talking about Yang Siqi. The old man suddenly realized.

"Yes, yes. It's him, Yang Siqi is his pen name. Luo Li said excitedly.

Wang Ren sighed and said regretfully: "It's a pity. Pretty nice lad. ”

"Can you tell us about him?" Ji Si'an took out a pen and paper to prepare for the record.

"You look like him." Wang Ren looked at Ji Si'an's movements and said suddenly.

"He's the same way, he likes to remember things, and he writes down everything that others say in a small brown notebook."

If he likes to memorize things, then he should also write down the things he investigates. Ji Si'an looked at Luo Li, and Luo Li was also looking at her, obviously Luo Li also thought of this.

The old man didn't pay attention to their movements, he seemed to be immersed in the memories. "My old house doesn't look old, but the layout is regular, the layout is good, and it is clean. When I was leasing, I thought I had to find some high-level tenants. ”

Yang Siqi ...... When I first met him, I didn't want to rent it to him. At that time, he was wearing a pair of large black-rimmed glasses, and his hair was a little long, and the hair in front of him almost blocked his eyes. Personality, also introverted, don't ask, don't say, if you ask, you may not say. It's really capable of giving people a quick death. ”

"Then why did you rent it to him again?" Luo Li was a little curious.

The old man continued: "Yang Siqi said that he worked at the newspaper as a reporter, and he also showed me his press card. The job was not bad, there was culture, I was a little hesitant at the time...... I thought about asking him to talk a second time. ”

When we met for the second time, he cut his hair short, and his glasses were replaced with small gold wires, and the whole person looked fresh and neat. I agreed to rent the house to him. ”

"Such a big change. Does he have a girlfriend? Ji Si'an asked.

The old man smiled, "That's what I asked him at the time." He blushed and refused, saying that the barbershop had done it for him. ”

When Ji Si'an heard this answer, he was a little disappointed.

"How was he when he was renting here? Are people good? Lori asked.

The old man said, "The young man is very good, but he is too quiet." When I get home, I always write and draw on the desk in front of the window. I wondered if it wasn't easy to work as a journalist. ”

"And what about his usual schedule?" They asked again.

"I go out early and come home late, sometimes I don't come back all night. One morning when I came home, my daughter-in-law met me and explained that he was going to investigate. ”

"We don't know what he's investigating as a reporter. There is no time to eat. We felt sorry for him, and we brought him food a few times. ”

"Did he behave in any unusual ways before he disappeared?" Ji Si'an asked.

"Before the disappearance? Nor is there anything ...... It was during that time that he was very happy, and once when I brought him food, he told me that he was going to start writing a book, and that it would definitely sell well......"

The old man couldn't help but sigh a little when he thought of Yang Siqi's excited expression at that time, who would have thought that someone would disappear not long after.

"The stuff in his room...... Have the police checked it all? Didn't they find any useful clues? ”

If Yang Xiu is going to write a book, he will definitely prepare some materials, and there should be clues in his notebook.

The old man shook his head and said, "The police asked the same question as you at that time. They also focused on his manuscripts and so on. But I heard that I didn't find any valuable clues. ”

The room he lived in was only a dozen square meters, and the police came several times, but they searched through it and found no clues. As for his notebook...... He has always carried it with him, he is missing, and the book is naturally missing. ”

"Do you have a picture of Yang Siqi or something? Please think about anything about Yang Siqi that might be helpful to us. Lori said almost pleadingly.

"The police took away part of the investigation of his things, and the rest was handled by the newspaper."

They were a little disappointed when they heard this.

The old man thought for a moment and said, "Pictures or something...... I also forgot to shoot him or not. You wait, I'll find out if there's anything in my old baby's bump. ”

As he spoke, the old man entered the corridor of Unit 6 and beckoned them to help him move an old wooden box out of the corner of the corridor.
