Chapter 7 The gossip god Liu Grandma
Grandma's surname is Liu, and she lives in this low bungalow.
Seeing the two of them standing at the door of this madman, Grandma Liu asked again with a strong local accent: "This place is going to be demolished, what are you...... Looking for a lame dog? ”
"Lame?" Tan Wan thought he had heard it wrong, and repeated Grandma's words.
"Aren't you standing in front of the lame dog's door~"
Grandma has lived to this age and is already an adult, just by looking at the clothes the two of them are wearing, you can know that they are not from here.
People who have lived in this alley for a long time will have the smell of alley on their bodies.
These smells are usually the damp smell of old wood, the fishy smell of a dirty river, or the pungent smell of a public toilet sprayed with cheap perfume.
Once these smells are touched, they will stick tightly to people's clothes like long hands.
As you stay longer, the smell will permeate every strand of hair, and eventually change a person's mind and grow into everyone's heart.
This taste is called poverty.
Seeing that the two of them were stupid, Grandma's interest in gossip suddenly burned, and she pulled the two to the side and continued to talk.
"This person was originally very good and the neighbors knew him, he used to work on the construction site, and then he broke his lumbar vertebra and couldn't do it, and after two years of raising him at home, his temperament changed, and he didn't go out with the subsistence allowance all day long, and he didn't know what he was doing all day."
"In the past two years, I don't know what taboo I have offended the little ghost, and the calf is suddenly rotten, hey sometimes I saw it when I met him outside, and the leg was rotten in a big piece, so rotten that even the skin was gone! Tsk, it's scary! ”
Grandma was dancing and describing, and what she said was also colorful.
Tan Wan listened and listened, remembering that he bumped into him while driving on a rainy night.
That day, he seemed to have a limp after seeing the corpse fleeing in a panic, and it seems that this grandma should have some credibility in what she said.
"By the way, I'll tell you." Grandma suddenly came over mysteriously, "Didn't a man and a woman die recently, that woman used to be a dance lady in Dasheng Nightclub, and I also saw that woman enter the lame dog's house~ Tsk, you say, you are really rich and willing to do anything!" ”
originally thought that Grandma only knew about these messy gossip and old things, but when she suddenly heard that the two were related, she immediately became focused: "When did it happen?" ”
Grandma giggled and quipped, "I didn't expect you little girl to be quite gossipy, why are you asking this?" ”
While talking, Tan Wan took out the police card in the back pocket of his pants and showed it in front of his grandmother.
"When the police ask, you tell the truth."
"You're a police officer, huh?" Grandma's originally relaxed face suddenly became solemn, and she took a step back vigilantly.
Originally, the gossip about the murder was just to find a fresh energy for herself, but after knowing that the opposite party was the police, she was afraid that the police would involve her in the murder.
Hurriedly shook his hand to leave: "I don't know anything, I have to go, I'm going to cook." ”
"Hey, stop, we're still asking you about it!" Li Dongliao grabbed the grandmother who was about to leave from behind.
may be afraid that Grandma is a little anxious to leave, Li Dongliao's voice is a little loud, and he subconsciously brings a bit of a threatening tone.
Grandma was shocked by the sound, and she really didn't move when she stood still.
"Talk to people." Tan Wan stopped Li Dongliao's next behavior, and then turned to Grandma and said, "Grandma, don't be afraid, we just want to ask when you saw the female deceased enter this house?" ”
"It looks like it was three or four o'clock yesterday afternoon." She replied in a whisper, her eyes still wary of Officer Li.
This is a very critical clue, Li Dongliao grasped this clue and continued to ask: "Are you sure you see clearly?" How many of the women came? ”
"It's about four or five o'clock." Grandma recalled yesterday's events: "I can't be mistaken, the woman is wearing heavy makeup, and she is wearing a low-cut short skirt, I can't be mistaken, oh yes, she also wore a very strong perfume, and she smoked people to death on the side!" ”
"Specifically, you can ask the lame dog directly, hasn't he seen that woman?" Finally, I added.
"People don't look like they're at home." Li Dongliao had already looked in through the window, "I remember, you seem to say that he doesn't go out much." ”
"Oh, that's probably going to the garbage dump, he likes to go there and pick up some cans and cardboard and sell them for money." Grandma pouted in the direction of the window, "Pick up some rags all day and come back, making this neighborhood ugly!" If you hadn't walked from here to the vegetable market, no one would have come! ”
It seems that such a contradiction has existed for more than a day or two, and it has already caused the surrounding neighbors to complain.
In order to find the trace of the homeless man, Tan Wan continued to ask: "Excuse me, do you know where the garbage dump he frequents is?" ”
Grandma could have said that she didn't know, she really didn't want to get involved in the murder case and then get involved in the crazy lame dog.
But this man and woman, the man is fierce and rude, but this woman is quite polite.
In addition, the two of them are policemen, so Grandma is willing to say it.
She pointed to a low building not far away: "You can walk along the river until you reach the building in front of you." ”
After saying this, Grandma left without looking back with the vegetable basket.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Sending Grandma away was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Dongliao: "Look, this little old man is quite superstitious, and there are a lot of charms posted at the door, is it really a ghost?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Talk about the night subconsciously retorted.
The most taboo thing in judging a case is to believe in ghosts and gods, and no matter how bizarre things are, you can find a reasonable reason to explain.
However, Li Dongliao was so interrupted that he noticed those charms later.
There are three charms pasted below the beam, and if you look closely, the charms on them are drawn in different ways.
The door is pasted with yellow charms, which have the purpose of dispelling diseases and eliminating disasters, and eliminating evil spirits.
The color of the rune paper is a little lighter, and it can be seen that it has been posted for a long time, and the description of the grandmother may have been asked for the charm when she just got a leg disease.
The windows are foggy, and if you look closely, you can still see the furnishings inside.
The furnishings are very ordinary, simple wooden tables and chairs, a dining table and a bed, stacks of waste newspapers and old clothes piled up next to the bed, simply without too much decoration.
There are also a bunch of old books in the corner, messily piled up, there are magazines and novels, I am afraid that the degree of dilapidation has been circulated in the market seven or eight times, and one of the relatively new "Zhou Yi" is particularly eye-catching.
"Shall we go to the Dasheng nightclub or go to the garbage station to find someone?" Li Dongliao stared at his mobile phone and beckoned Tan Wan to go together, "I have navigated, the garbage station looks quite close, but you have to take a detour to drive, and the night is always on the opposite side of the Chaohe River, and you can get there by car quickly." ”
