Chapter 45 The Four Walls of the Family

A patient with terminal cancer may be suffering beyond the comprehension of others, and death may be a relief for him. What happened to Xu Changping?

"Don't you have the contact information of Xu Changping's family? Let's go to Xu Changping's house to have a look. Chen Weibin said to Yuan Qing.

"I've already asked, Xu Changping's wife's name is Wang Guiqiong, I have her mobile phone number, I'll contact you immediately!" Yuan Qing said as he took out his mobile phone in front of Chen Weibin and dialed Wang Guiqiong's number.

The phone was connected, and Yuan Qing asked, "Hello! Are you Xu Changping's wife Wang Guiqiong? ”

"I am." On the other end of the line was a woman's voice, very low.

"I'm from the Public Security Bureau, we want to find out more about the situation with you!" Yuan Qing glanced at Chen Weibin and said.

"Oh, the Public Security Bureau! Didn't you call just now? Wang Guiqiong asked.

Yuan Qing immediately reacted, it must have been a call from the traffic police detachment of the Beicheng District Public Security Bureau, so he said: "We are not a department, we want to get to know you face to face at your home." ”

"Oh, that's right. Come on, I'm at home, and my address is at No. 12, Shashi Lane, Nancheng District. ”

"Then I'll stop you, we'll come over later." Yuan Qing hung up the phone and said, "Detachment Chen, Xu Changping's wife is at home in Nancheng District, and I have already contacted her, let's go." ”

"Okay, let's go!"

"Do you think we're going in a police car?"

Chen Weibin hesitated for a moment and said, "Let's take a taxi." My husband just died, and the police car drove over and let her neighbor see it, but I don't know what to say? ”

"Yes! The situation is still unclear, and the case is not yet conclusive. ”

"Let's go now, then." Chen Weibin packed up his things, went out of the criminal investigation detachment with Yuan Qing, hailed a taxi, and went to Wang Guiqiong's house.

Forty minutes later, the two arrived at the area where the address provided by Wang Guiqiong was located. This is an urban village, the environment is very messy, the terrain is also very complex, and there are many lanes. The houses on both sides of the roadway are basically low brick houses, and some of the houses still have roofs covered with tarpaulins, presumably because the roof is leaking to keep out the rain. The alleyway between the houses is also very narrow, probably only enough for two people to pass in parallel.

The two of them walked straight into the alleyway. As Yuan Qing walked, he observed the house number hanging on the wall, but he never saw No. 12 Shashi Road.

At that moment, someone happened to come from the side of the alleyway.

Yuan Qing asked, "Excuse me, how to get to No. 12 Shashi Lane?" ”

"Number 12? Keep going in, turn right at the end, and turn left after fifty meters. The passerby replied.

"Thank you!" Yuan Qing responded.

Following the direction pointed by passers-by, the two continued to walk in and came to the door of No. 12 Sandstone Lane hanging on the wall.

Yuan Qing knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door opened. A woman looked at Chen Weibin and Yuan Qing and asked timidly, "Are you the policemen who called just now?" ”

This woman is about forty years old, dressed very plainly, her hair is messy, but she is hastily combed to the back and tied in a ponytail, and her mood is very low.

"Yes, excuse me. Are you Wang Guiqiong? Yuan Qing asked.

The woman nodded.

"My name is Yuan Qing, and this is our detachment leader Chen Weibin." Yuan Qing said as he took out his ID and handed it to Wang Guiqiong.

Wang Guiqiong looked at the documents briefly and said, "Come in and sit." ”

The two walked into the house one after the other.

It was a very small room, about 20 square meters in size. The room was dimly lit and littered with clutter. Inside, there was a bed in a corner against the wall, and several quilts were piled on top of it. In another corner there was a table with a gas stove on it.

Chen Weibin was shocked, he couldn't imagine that there were such poor families in the city! It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a family with four walls.

Next to the bed was a small student desk, and a little boy was doing his homework in the dim light.

Wang Guiqiong said to the little boy, "Call uncle." ”

The little boy raised his head, looked at Chen Weibin and Yuan Qing, and said, "Hello uncle! ”

Chen Weibin stepped forward, touched the little boy's head, and said, "Hello children! I'm doing my homework! ”

The little boy let out an "um" and turned his head to continue his homework.

Wang Guiqiong pulled out two plastic stools from under the bed, wiped them with a towel, and said, "The conditions at home are simple, I'm sorry!" ”

"Don't be busy, let's just stand." Chen Weibin waved his hand at Wang Guiqiong and asked, "What grade is the child in?" Didn't have classes today? ”

"I'm in the second grade of elementary school. I was in class today, but the Public Security Bureau called to say that Xu Changping was dead, so I went to pick up the child and prepared to meet his father before the cremation. After Wang Guiqiong finished speaking, she immediately began to cry.

Wang Guiqiong cried very sadly. For a while, neither Chen Weibin nor Yuan Qing spoke again.

Waiting for Wang Guiqiong's mood to ease up a little, Chen Weibin said: "People can't be resurrected after death, please mourn!" ”

Wang Guiqiong wiped her tears with her hand and said, "I'm sorry! He died so suddenly, I wasn't mentally prepared for it. ”

"Be strong! You still have a son, live well. Chen Weibin comforted.

"Yes, we orphans and widows still have to live!" Wang Guiqiong walked up to the little boy, touched the little boy's head, and continued, "When the comrades from the Public Security Bureau called, we were going to see his father. But they said it was being tested now, so let's go back later. ”

"It's not convenient to go now, and they'll let you know then." Chen Weibin looked at the environment in the house again and asked, "Have you always lived here?" ”

"No, we only moved here in the last year. This is the house we rent and it is cheap! ”

"Oh. Where are you from? Chen Weibin continued to ask.

"We are from Qinglong Village, Sanglin County, Miojiang City, and Xu Changping and I are both farmers in the village. The income from family farming is not high, and after we got married more than ten years ago, we went to the city together to work. ”

"Are you both working in the city?" Chen Weibin asked.

"Xu Changping can drive, when he first came to the city, he helped people drive trucks, and then he borrowed some money from relatives and friends, we bought a truck ourselves, and he ran the transportation, and I worked as a waiter in a restaurant in the city."

"Both of you are making money, so life should be okay."

"The economic conditions are still much better than when I was in the countryside. We have worked hard ourselves, and now that the policy is good, children can go to school in the city. ”

"I heard that Xu Changping got sick later?" Yuan Qing asked.
