However, after Mu Wen followed Luo Qianran and asked around, he didn't find anything valuable, so the two of them continued to walk to another building.
"Be careful, there is water on the ground."
When he was about to reach the door of the building, Luo Qianran suddenly reminded him loudly. Mu Wen hurriedly lowered his head and took a look. Sure enough, there was a big puddle in front of him, although it didn't look like there was a lot of water. But the water still looks relatively clear and doesn't look like sewer water.
"Really, this kind of community has such disadvantages. It is difficult for someone to repair some equipment after it breaks down, because after all, no one is willing to touch the previous pipelines."
Mu Wen frowned and said with some dissatisfaction.
The environment where Mu Wen lived before was actually like this, but it was because of this that she moved out of the original community and rented Luo Qianran's house. At least the property and supporting facilities were relatively sound. .
The two people continued to walk forward while talking. When they were not far away, they saw an old man sitting at the door of the building.
"Hello, aunt, we are from the criminal police team of the city bureau. We came here today to ask you about something."
"Oh, the criminal police team? Is it because of the murder of the kid in the front building?"
They didn't introduce the case, but the aunt just mentioned it all at once. It seemed that this case had a great impact on their community.
After all, the community is not that big. Once something happens, it will spread quickly.
"Yes, we just want to come over and ask if there have been any strangers or suspicious people in our community recently, especially men in their 40s who are between 1.78 and 1.80 meters tall?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Auntie waved her hand impatiently.
"Don't ask me, I don't know this either. I'm an old man. I sit here every day and don't want to think about anything. And you also know that that building is still far away from my building. When I have nothing to do, I will Won’t go that way.”
"Auntie, please recall it carefully, or if there is anything questionable, you can tell us."
"Comrade, you'd better ask other people. Look at my age. What can I tell you? I haven't even figured out my own affairs yet. Look at this building. The water has been leaking for a long time, and I have reported it many times, but no one has taken care of the result."
When the aunt spoke, her face was full of complaints.
Luo Qianran seemed to understand what his aunt meant, so he looked at the location she said. As expected, there was a large puddle in the corner, which had seriously affected travel in the building.
"Auntie, are you talking about the puddle there?"
"Yes, you also saw a big puddle. The young man was fine. He tiptoed or jumped a few times and got over it. What about me, an old woman? How can I get out? I tell you the truth, I haven't been there for two months. I have left this building, not because of anything else, but because of the puddle. I really don’t want to go through there.
If you go around somewhere else, you know my legs and feet can no longer walk as I get older. "
As the aunt spoke, the wrinkles on her forehead became more obvious. Mu Wen immediately heard that the aunt had a lot of complaints in her heart, so it would be really difficult to ask her about anything.
"But auntie, isn't there anyone to take care of this matter? What about the property management company? Is there no real estate management company? If the property management company doesn't care about it, there will still be the government."
"Property management? Real estate management only knows about charging fees. What else do you know? It doesn't care about anything. Let me tell you, we are just ordinary people. Who will care about us?"
"Auntie, how long has this been going on? I mean it's leaking."
Luo Qianran seemed to be more interested in the water leakage and kept asking about it with interest.
"How long? Let me think about it, at least four months. Four months ago, the water started to appear slowly. Now it is more and more. I really don't know. One day it was really flooded here. After that, let me see if anyone is in charge?"
"Where is the leak? Is it coming from the ground?"
"Where? It's from the basement. There is water everywhere under the basement on our floor. It has been pumped out several times before. It's been okay this time. The water has finally been drained away, but there is still constant moisture coming from the ground. pop up.
Hearing this, Mu Wen suddenly stopped.
basement? And it’s still a basement that has been soaked in water. Could it be that the dark and humid environment I want to find is the basement here?
After hearing this, Mu Wen turned to look at Luo Qianran. Luo Qianran nodded slightly to him. Unexpectedly, this time the two people coincided with each other again.
"Auntie, I would like to ask if anyone lives in your basement?"
"People? I don't think even dogs can live here. Who would live here in such an environment?"
"What about before? Were there any people living there before it was flooded?"
When asked here, the aunt seemed to be stunned for a moment. What should she have thought of? Mu Wen was so excited that he squatted next to his aunt.
"Little comrade, if you hadn't told me, I would have really forgotten it. It seems that there is really a family living in the basement, and they never left even when they were soaking in water this time."
"Ah, really? Where does this person live now? What is their condition?"
"It seems like a man and a child. They have been living here for more than half a year. Because the rent in the basement is very cheap, they rented there. However, I have rarely seen him. It seems that he was just here. I had some impressions when I moved here. If you don't mention it, I really want to forget about this person."
Auntie's words made Luo Qianran and Lu Yu all see hope.
"Auntie, what about the others? What else do you know about the others? Have you seen the little boy? How old is the boy?"
"I have only met that boy once, when they first moved here. The boy is quite cute, but he doesn't seem to talk much. I said a few words to him, but he was always evasive. Didn’t answer me.”
"And how old is he?"
"He doesn't look very old, probably about five or six years old, but the man seems to love him very much. Although the man's clothes are shabby, he looks very clean, and the little boy is also dressed in a bright and beautiful way. It seems a bit inappropriate to live in such an environment."
After Luo Qianran heard this, he gradually felt relieved. It seemed that it was basically consistent with his previous inference.
If this is really the case, then it is almost certain that the person living in the basement is highly suspected of committing the crime.
