The sky was gloomy and gloomy.

Wei Lai watched the person enter the No. 3 building of the Anju community, she took two quick steps and followed the person into the building.

This is an old building built in the 80s, which was once the family home of a textile factory, and was later included in the scope of demolition. I don't know for what reason, the old buildings around here have been demolished, and only this residential community is left.

The old building has a total of six floors, one ladder and two households, all of which are step ladders without elevators, and the steps are very narrow, and the lime on the surface has been mottled. The handrails of the staircase are made of wood, and from the appearance alone, they should be maintained, but they are all spontaneous by the residents, because each floor is maintained differently, for example, the third floor where she is now standing, there are many fractures in the wooden staircase, and these fractures are screwed with iron wire.

The wires, old and new, long and short, were wound together, and cobwebs were covered with them.

The security door of room 301 is locked, and judging from the security door and the traces in front of the door, this house has been unoccupied for a long time.

The door of room 302 was slightly hidden, and a wreath was slanted in the doorway. Wreaths are now popular, the kind of wreaths that can open and close automatically. The wreath leaned on the stairs leading to the fourth floor, the paper flowers on the wreath were damaged, and the bracket used to support the wreath had been kicked by someone.

Everything about this is extraordinary.

Wei Lai was a little flustered, she pressed her heart hard, walked to the door, flexed her fingers, and knocked on the security door.

"Hello, is anyone home?"

There was no answer, but the wind blew the wreath that was slanted on the ground with a whirl.

The light in the old building was not good, and it was a cloudy day, and the whole environment became particularly treacherous. Just as Wei Lai hesitated and clenched her fingers, she smelled an unusual smell......

Two hours later, Wei Lai sat opposite Liang Zhijie with a pale face, still holding a teapot in her hand, and the water in the teapot was steaming.

"Do you know the deceased?" Liang Zhijie asked, looking at Wei Lai's pale face.

Wei Lai shook his head slightly.

"Don't know? So what are you going to do in the community? Liang Zhijie frowned: "Wei Lai, I want you to tell the truth." ”

"Passing by, I want to go and see it." Wei Lai took a deep breath while holding the tea jar: "In 2016, Zhao Yang and I rented in that community when we came back from Beijing, to be precise, in that building, and it happened to be the third floor. ”

"Room 302 where the deceased were?"

"No, it's room 301 across the street." Wei Lai raised his head and met Liang Zhijie's gaze: "The house was rented by Zhao Yang, we lived there for almost two years, and we directly handed over the house to live in the current community." It was during that time that Zhao Yang became colleagues with Zhu Lili, but there was no relationship between them at that time. Our husband and wife have a very good relationship, Juli and her ex-husband have not divorced yet, and Zhao Yang was just a small design at the time, and the greedy and vain Juli looked down on him. ”

Wei Lai said and turned his head to the side: "You say, is there a thread in the underworld, and that thread is involved in the fate of all of us. ”

"Anju Community is in Xinhe District, which is still a city away from the Guancheng District where you are located, why did you suddenly want to go and see it?" Liang Zhijie picked up a pen casually and looked directly at Wei Lai: "And I just happened to encounter a murder." ”

"I didn't think of it suddenly, I thought about it a long time ago, but I just happened to be free today." Wei Lai turned his head and looked at Liang Zhijie: "Team Liang should still remember what happened in the Internet café, right?" We have seen the list of Internet users on the day Ma Manjie was arrested, and it was at that time that I saw the Anju community. I'm too familiar with that address, and I often write it when I shop online. After many years, when I saw the familiar address, it happened to be the same building, different residents on the same floor, and I suddenly felt in my heart that I wanted to go back to that place again. After all, my marriage was very good at that time, and our family of three had a very happy life. ”

Wei Lai smiled faintly, his eyes turned red, and he looked at Liang Zhijie and continued.

"I just want to go back and take a walk in that hallway. I know it's pointless, but Team Liang, my ten-year marriage is gone, and the person I thought I could grow old left me and my children, I don't know how I should tell you, I can only tell you, I can't let it go, at least not yet. ”

"Wei Lai—" Liang Zhijie wanted to comfort her, but she didn't know what to say when she looked at her red eyes.

She thought for a moment, pulled a few tissues from the table and handed them over.

"When I was pregnant with Xiaobao, I had a wisdom tooth, and the tooth next to it was also broken, because I was pregnant, because of breastfeeding, because of Zhao Yang's betrayal, I didn't care about it. Today, my parents came from my hometown, so I handed Xiaobao over to them to take with me, and I went to the central hospital for dental filling. After the filling, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon. The hospital is quite close to the Anju community, and I thought that the children at home would be taken care of, so I came. ”

"Since you've lived in the Anju community for two years, why don't you know the neighbor on the other side?"

"The Anju community is an old community, and I heard that it used to be the family building of the textile factory, except for some of the elderly, the rest are tenants." Wei Lai explained: "When we first moved in, there was no one living on the other side, and I asked my neighbor downstairs and said they had moved away. The next year, about April and May, someone suddenly came from the other side, making a commotion, and later I learned that the old man had passed away. After the funeral, there was no one on the other side. When I went upstairs and saw the wreath today, I thought it was ......"

"Why?"

"Thought I had crossed over." Wei Lai clenched the teapot: "Of course, I know that I haven't crossed it, but I was in a trance when I saw the wreath, because I saw it in the building when I rented a house before." That man...... I mean the deceased was a later tenant? ”

Liang Zhijie shook his head.

"I forgot, the Internet café registered the address and name on the ID card, so that person is ......"

"The son of the original owner is also the current owner of room 302." Liang Zhijie said simply: "Do you remember what the situation was at that time? ”

"Remember!" Wei Lai put down the tea jar: "After I went up to the third floor, I found that the door of room 301 was locked, and it seemed that no one had lived in it for a long time. When I went downstairs, I noticed a wreath on the opposite door, which didn't look like a new one. I'm a little curious, this thing is a bit unlucky, even if it's a funeral, it doesn't always leave a wreath at the door. Even if the owner's family is not taboo, the neighbors who live in the same building will also be suspicious. Out of curiosity, I took a closer look, and saw that the door opposite was hidden, but there was no movement in the room, so I went and knocked on the door. As soon as I knocked on it, I could smell the smell, and then I went in to take a look. ”

"Aren't you afraid?" Liang Zhijie asked, with an inquiring look in her eyes.

"I didn't think about it that much." Wei Lai said: "There is a wreath at the door, indicating that someone in the family has died. The wreath is still new, indicating that the funeral was held in recent days. Willing to let the wreath be placed at the door, it shows that the people in the family are not taboo. The only people who do not shy away from wreaths are probably the elderly who look down on life and death. When I smelled that smell, I was afraid that something had happened to the old man left in the family. ”
