Chapter Thirty-Eight: Midnight Wandering
According to the information provided by Sun Yan, the landlord, that is, Bi Runlin, the head of the house, is a programmer, and she doesn't know exactly what unit she works in, but she only knows that occasionally Bi Runlin will work overtime in his own "room" in the living room, communicate with colleagues online or on his mobile phone about the progress of overtime, the operation of the program, and so on.
Sun Yan didn't understand the content of the work, she could only know that it was the big category of "programmer", listening to the tone of Bi Runlin's speech, the unit should also be a large company with many employees, the department was relatively good, and the work process was relatively more complicated, so Bi Runlin sometimes couldn't help but complain to his colleagues on the phone.
If you are not angry, your voice will naturally be raised, and sometimes you will even be a little angry, so that Sun Yan, as a tenant, can really hear it.
However, this situation usually does not occur many times, most of the time, Bi Runlin is in a state of leaving early and returning late, almost not cooking at home, and carrying a boxed lunch when he comes home from work every day, which is also a very cheap boxed lunch.
Sun Yan said that Bi Runlin, who is similar to Tong Chujun, is not a talkative character, most of the time he seems a little withdrawn, does not like to talk, and even looks at people always like to look at them from the corner of his eyes, as if he doesn't dare to look at the past generously, so he has to peek.
He lived a very simple life, all year round there were two sets of clothes, back and forth to change, washed very old and did not see him change, shoes are the same, a pair of sneakers from spring to winter, wear out and then change a pair, continue to wear this regardless of winter and summer.
"I've inquired with my friends, and they all say that programmers' salaries are not low," Sun Yan said to Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan, "I don't understand why he is quite a big person and can live such a poor life."
I've lived here for so long, and I haven't heard that he has a girlfriend or anything, and he's in his thirties, and he's a brother all the time, and he goes alone......
Don't you think that a man lives his life like this...... Pretty abnormal?
So I've always been quite conflicted in my heart, because I live here because I think that the landlord works during the day, and hardly at home, and on weekends, he works overtime and is not at home.
At that time, there was Tong Chujun, she worked in two shifts, she went out to work during the day shift, and their unit was quite good during the night shift, so she didn't need to go to the unit, just work online at home, so that Tong Chujun was at home every night, and the two of us were equal to each other's companionship and courage.
Later, when she moved out, I began to hesitate to move out, and I was reluctant to pay for the cheap rent here, so I didn't have to pay for the water, electricity, and gas network bills......
Originally, he thought that when the landlord found another girl to come in, he would have a companion again, but after so long, he didn't find a new tenant to live in.
Originally, I complained a little bit about Tong Chujun in my heart, and I felt that she was not interesting enough, even if I didn't want to live, I might as well say it in advance, maybe I would move away with her!
Outcome...... As a result, now that you say that Tong Chujun has an accident, I suddenly feel even more scared in my heart! ”
Sun Yan rubbed her arms, unable to hide the worry on her face.
"It seems that you have had a lot of communication with Tong Chujun before!" Ning Shuyi was a little surprised that Sun Yan knew so much about Tong Chujun's situation, and even Tong Chujun's work.
"The main thing is that I like to talk, she doesn't like to talk, so I take the initiative to talk to her, she cooks in the kitchen, and I talk to her at the kitchen door.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that the landlord will feel uncomfortable in the kitchen when she is in the living room.
So I will take the initiative to talk to her, ask her anything, I can't say a word to respond, but ask five sentences, she can at least hum three times or something, so slowly don't you understand each other! Sun Yan replied very truthfully.
"Is Tong Chujun afraid of your landlord?" Ning Shuyi heard some clues from her words.
Sun Yan hesitated: "I can't say this well, it's my own feelings."
Even I, a person who is big and bold and bolder than my heart, I have some scruples about the landlord, she feels a lot less timid than me, like a bird, so I think she should also feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, so I take it upon myself to go out often to accompany her and give her courage.
She didn't once say that she thought I was annoying and asked me not to go out and quarrel with her, so I thought I guessed correctly! ”
Ning Shuyi thought for a while, glanced at the time, and then asked, "Can I find out about your landlord Bi Runlin, has he done anything that makes you feel suspicious, so you have been reassuring of him?" ”
Sun Yan pursed her lips, hesitated even more, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head.
"Do you have concerns and dare not say it?" Ning Shuyi asked, "Now there are only the two of us here, the content of the communication between us, no matter what we say, whether it is right or wrong, we will not leak it out, so that others will know that it was you who said it to us." ”
"That's not what I'm worried about." Sun Yan was a little embarrassed when she heard her say so sincerely, and hurriedly explained, "The main thing is to talk to you as a policeman, so there must be no evidence!"
It's really on my side, no evidence! It's all something I've seen or observed alone, whether it's true or not...... I can't prove it!
I'm afraid that after I say it, I will cause you trouble, how bad it is! ”
"It doesn't matter, you can provide everything you can think of, what you are willing to tell us, and we will judge and verify the authenticity of this!" Ning Shuyi hurriedly encouraged her.
"That's fine! If you say that, then I don't have any psychological burden! Sun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that she was more inclined to share her findings, and it was also a kind of torture for her to say that she couldn't say it.
She glanced at Huo Yan again, or more accurately, at the door behind Huo Yan, before she spoke: "I'm not sure if I'm mistaken, but I know that the landlord used to walk back and forth outside the door of the two of us, especially Tong Chujun, at night......
I could hear him in the room, he was walking back and forth in the living room, because the bed he slept in was next to the wall across from my bed, and I could hear the voice, not very close to my wall, but it was in the living room.
Isn't that all there is to it?
Merely...... I've heard it more than once, but ...... I'm still a little scared at critical moments, especially when I hear it at night.
I'm also afraid that if something breaks, he will be annoyed and angry, and what will happen to me and Tong Chujun...... That's not the end of it!
So...... I never dared to open the door and go out to see what was going on, and I didn't dare to question the landlord in person. ”
