"The neighbors all saw it, so when she came back later, she still acted like a normal person and did whatever she had to do. It was impossible that no one in the neighbors was talking about her behind her back.
It seemed that those aunts and grandmothers who were about the same age as her or older than her at that time were unwilling to pay attention to her and did not say anything to her.
It was probably too uncomfortable to live like this, as if someone was poking her spine all day long, so she moved away with Chang Junchao and never came back. "Wang Hongzhen recalled.
"When the family of three lived in your building, were there many people walking around the house? Except for the girlfriend that Chang Junchao brought home." Ning Shuyi asked again.
"That's not much, I haven't seen it often." Wang Hongzhen shook her head, "The sound insulation of our building is not very good, and it's not like other people's elevators where you have to take the elevator up and down.
Whenever someone comes, you can basically hear it from upstairs to downstairs in the corridor. It seems that no one comes to their house very often. "
Ning Shuyi's brows tightened a little more.
Wang Hongzhen often needs to monitor her husband's behavior on weekdays to avoid arousing his anger and causing physical pain to herself, so she is also particularly sensitive to changes in other people's expressions.
When she saw Ning Shuyi frowning, she quickly tried to think back: "Oh, by the way, there was one thing I didn't think of just now.
But I don’t know if this matter has anything to do with what you want to ask about. I just remembered it and I will tell you about it!
About a month after Deng Qingrong and the others moved away, someone came to see them. That person probably didn’t know where Deng Qingrong lived, so he asked around downstairs. When the latter two heard that they had moved away, they asked where to move. Where did he go? It felt like he really wanted to find the person.
But the neighbor in our area really didn't know where the couple had moved, so they told him that Deng Qingrong came back after her wife passed away and moved away not long after.
The man didn't seem to know these things before. After hearing this, he was quite angry, cursed and left.
The neighbor who told him about this at the time saw that he was so scared and felt a little regretful, fearing that he would cause trouble if he stopped talking like this. "
"What kind of person is that?" Huo Yan asked.
"It's just a man in his sixties. I can't remember what he looks like. It's been a while, and I've only seen him once." Wang Hongzhen really couldn't remember what he looked like, " It seems that he never came to see Deng Qingrong again.
It's possible that they've come back to look for you, but it's not so grand, so I might not be able to notice it. If that doesn't work, you can just ask other neighbors to find out.
I heard them talking downstairs before, and I guessed what was going on. I wondered if Deng Qingrong was not doing his job well. When I saw that my wife was injured, she couldn't work, couldn't make money, and had to ask someone to help her. She was waiting and taking care of her, so she ran away and couldn't wait to find a home for herself.
But why he came back later, whether it was because of a guilty conscience or because of his conscience, is not clear. Maybe it was not because he was pointed out by his neighbors that he took his son and moved away quickly, but because he felt guilty about something else and hid.
None of these are necessarily accurate. They were all gossips that neighbors gathered together. I only listened to them when I was upstairs and downstairs. My husband wouldn’t let me chat with my neighbors outside because he was afraid that I would tell others. The thing about him beating me at home..."
When she mentioned the domestic violence she had suffered over the years, Wang Hongzhen became a little depressed again. Ning Shuyi did not continue to ask about matters related to Deng Qingrong's mother and son, but calmed Wang Hongzhen's mood and left her his business card. He told her to have a good rest, and then left the guest house with Huo Yan.
It was not too early when we came out of the guest house, but the guest house was relatively close to Ning Shuyi's house. Ning Shuyi was not relieved considering that he had not been home for several days, so he decided to go back and stay at home at night.
Huo Yan drove her back. Ning Shuyi said nothing along the way, his brows furrowed and his eyes looking out the car window, but he was obviously lost in thought.
Huo Yan glanced at her several times, but finally couldn't hold it back and asked, "Business or private matter?"
Ning Shuyi came back to his senses, turned to look at Huo Yan, and smiled: "Business, I'm over there thinking about this case.
Let’s go find Chang Junchao’s workplace tomorrow to find out more about the situation!
From the perspective of neighbors, whether it was the previous address or the scene of the crime, the mother and son Deng Qingrong and Chang Junchao's contact with the outside world was really narrow and pitiful.
And there is no conflict or friction that is serious enough to escalate into a deep hatred like the annihilation of the family.
I always feel that the criminal intention of simply seeking money eventually escalates into murder and hiding the body, which is a bit too far-fetched. "
"Both mother and son are weird people." Huo Yan turned the car onto the side road leading to Ning Shuyi's house. After going there once, he had memorized this route. "Everyone talks about having a son as a great achievement, but... He didn't see how much he loved and cared about his son.
Another one, no matter what the situation, there is no emotional feedback from beginning to end, which is not right either. "
"What's wrong with this!" There was nothing wrong with Huo Yan's words, but when they came out of his mouth, Ning Shuyi felt a little want to laugh, and couldn't help but want to tease him, "You don't have any emotional feedback either. !”
Huo Yan was slightly startled, but did not respond to Ning Shuyi's teasing. He only said: "Everyone has emotions. It's just that after lowering expectations to the lowest, there are less emotions."
"In other words, it means accepting your fate, right?"
"Um."
Ning Shuyi looked at Huo Yan, then looked out the window again, thinking silently by herself, neither of them said anything else.
After a while, Ning Shuyijia arrived. Although she was a front-line female detective, considering that it was getting late, Huo Yan got out of the car and sent her downstairs before leaving.
Ning Shuyi took the elevator upstairs. When he arrived at the door of his house, he didn't rush to open the door. Instead, he pricked up his ears and listened for a while.
It was quiet upstairs, no sound at all.
Could it be that he realized that there was no one at home for several days, so he stopped bothering? Ning Shuyi took out the house key while muttering in his heart.
——
Early the next morning, Huo Yan came to the unit after morning exercise. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ning Shuyi sleeping on the office table. He was stunned for a moment, looked at the time, walked over and patted her on the back gently. .
Ning Shuyi suddenly sat up, but his eyes were still closed, looking very sleepy.
