I didn't dare to speak for fear of interrupting Gu Ruolin's thoughts.
About half a minute later, Gu Ruolin took a breath and said, "I remember who Zhang Liyong is." My heart skipped a beat, and I took a deep breath and was about to speak.
But she suddenly shook her head, pursed her lips, and turned slightly pale: "Zhang Liyong, he is dead."
But I was confused: "Miss Gu, what does this mean? He just contacted your uncle yesterday, how could he be dead?"
Gu Ruolin's face was a little stiff, and she said unnaturally: "He has died a long time ago... Last time, many people in the town had troubles. A small factory invested by the Gu family illegally produced fireworks and firecrackers. They forced the workers to work overtime because of the operation Improperly caused a fire in the factory and burned to death several workers, Zhang Liyong was one of them..."
"Because of this incident, the reputation of the Gu family in the town has become very bad, and their impression of my uncle in particular has become even worse. Because my uncle is in charge of the family business, he did not say anything about compensating the injured and deceased workers. Instead, we held the relevant factory personnel accountable and got the compensation the Gu family deserved, even though legally he did nothing wrong."
"But to the people in the town, they think the Gu family is very cold-blooded. My father has asked the family several times to provide some kind of pension to those families on a humane basis, but his uncle rejected it..."
"Zhang Liyong's family was unwilling to give in and even came to the old house several times to throw feces and cause trouble... The uncle also directly called the police and had them imprisoned for a period of time. He even paid compensation to the Gu family... After that, they did not dare to come here. There's trouble."
"Zhang Liyong is indeed dead...it has been almost two years since this happened..."
After saying that, Gu Ruolin's face turned very pale.
My pupils shrank into small dots, and I felt a little scared...
Lao He from the labor agency just now probably meant this. Fortunately, Gu Ruolin remembered it, otherwise we would be really unlucky if we went.
"So, it's very possible that someone from the Zhang family used Zhang Liyong's mobile phone to contact your uncle, called him to Yangjiang, and killed him?" I said speculatively.
Gu Ruolin pursed her lips, shook her head, and said blankly: "I don't know."
"Luo Yinpo, what should we do now? Should we go back first? Or should we call the police?" Gu Ruolin looked at me as if asking for help.
I hesitated for a moment and recalled what Blind Chen said. We need to know who killed Gu Kaishan and how he died in order to solve the problem. Calling the police and arresting the person will solve the murderer, but the police can't deal with the problem of trouble.
We may not know how the Zhang family harmed people, but as long as we go there and take a look, we can basically guess who did it.
Even if I can't finish everything, I still have to finish half of it before explaining the situation to Blind Man Chen.
With my thoughts at this point, I said directly: "As I said before, you can't call the police. Go to Zhang's house and take a look, and then go back and talk to Uncle Chen." "Okay, Luo Yinpo, I listen to you. This is a town. No matter how cruel they are, they can't do anything." Don't blatantly harm others again!" Gu Ruolin gritted her silver teeth.
I somewhat admire Gu Ruolin's courage. After all, she is also a dignified young lady. Unexpectedly, she is also very courageous.
With her leading the way, we rushed towards No. 33 Yuma Street.
There are three streets in the whole town. One is called Old Street, which was the old town before the reform and opening up. There are two new streets, one is the main road into the town after the Gu family comes out, and the other is slightly quieter. Entering from the fork of the main road is the Royal Street. Horse Street.
There are not many pedestrians on this road, and many front houses have their doors closed. The sky is gradually getting darker, and the sunset is already on the horizon and is about to end.
No. 33 was already at the end of the street. A small fence surrounded the open space in front of the front house, forming a small yard.
The strong smell of incense candles also carries a pungent odor... It smells like corpse odor...
Gu Ruolin suddenly grabbed my arm, covered her mouth and nose with one hand, and retched.
I stared behind the fence, into the open door.
A dark coffin, with white lime powder on it, which is very permeable.
A black-and-white photo of the deceased was placed at the front of the coffin. The photo showed an old man in his sixties or seventies, with a bald head and droopy eyelids. There were many age spots on his face. The upper and lower lips were slightly sunken and covered in. They were pitch black. It's like there are no teeth and only the gums are left.
His eyes were hollow, and even the photo of him exuding the deathly air of his old age.
"There is a funeral in the Zhang family..." I just thought about it. Suddenly, an old woman came out tremblingly next to the coffin. She was wearing a white mourning dress, and there was a little girl of three or four years old with her. Wearing filial piety.
The old and the young all looked at me and Gu Ruolin intently.
The next moment, the old woman's eyes turned red. She suddenly picked up the paper money brazier in front of the coffin and smashed it towards me and Gu Ruolin head-on!
"You Gu family beasts have been stabbed a thousand times! You harmed my son. Now that my old Zhang family has no men, are you going to harm others again!" "Bang!"
The brazier hit two or three meters in front of me and Gu Ruolin! Suddenly the sky was filled with flames! Burning paper money flew everywhere!
Gu Ruolin was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she screamed and threw herself into my arms.
I was also shocked, and subconsciously I hugged Gu Ruolin tightly, feeling the warm and fragrant soft jade in my arms, but I didn't have time to feel it!
The old woman tremblingly picked up a hoe from the wall and chased us out of the yard to chop us down!
The child remained motionless and looked at us as if we were enemies.
I subconsciously dragged Gu Ruolin and ran outside!
There were two clanging sounds from behind. I ran a few meters away and looked back. The old lady's hoe struck right where we were standing, creating a small hole in the cement floor.
She collapsed on the ground, crying heartbreakingly and pitifully: "The Gu family is not a thing! It's not enough to kill the only child of my old Zhang family. My old man is dead and hasn't been buried yet! He wants to harm my grandson again!" "
"A bunch of beasts that suck human blood! My old man, Tou Qi, will come to find you! I'll make you pay for your lives!"
I didn't dare to stay any longer, so I dragged Gu Ruolin to the fork in the road. I saw that it was impossible for the old woman to catch up, so I stopped.
Her sad and shrill cries echoed throughout Yuma Street, and many people opened their windows and looked out.
My heart was beating fast and my face was pale.
Gu Ruolin came back to her senses tremblingly. She held my arm tightly and still hid half of her body in my arms.
"The only ones left in the Zhang family are the old couple and the child...Zhang Liyong is the only child in their family. Because of Zhang Liyong's death in the past two years, his wife ran away..." Gu Ruolin said these words tremblingly, and my face changed slightly. For a moment.
"You mean, the Zhang family only has two old people and one child? Now that an old man has died, only the old woman and the three-year-old child are left?" I blurted out and asked directly.
Gu Ruolin bit her lip and nodded, obviously still a little shaken.
My face turned ugly. It was obvious that the hatred between the Zhang family and the Gu family was as deep as the sea. In addition, someone in the family died. When I saw Gu Ruolin, I wanted to kill her.
According to this principle and logic, plus the phone number, it must be the Zhang family who harmed Gu Kaishan! There is almost no need to run away!
But there is not even a young person in the Zhang family... Even the only old man is dead. The smell of corpses makes me feel sick now. He will definitely be dead for no more than three or four days.
But Gu Kaishan jumped into the river the day before yesterday. It is impossible for this old man to kill Gu Kaishan and then die, right?
Gu Kaishan is a middle-aged man of about fifty years old. To put it harshly, I have seen that side of Gu Kaishan and feel that his physical fitness is definitely not bad. A dying old man cannot defeat him.
"Go back first... This matter is more troublesome. Let's talk to Uncle Chen first and let him decide what to do." After I finished speaking in a deep voice, I helped Gu Ruolin walk towards the main street.
As a result, a tall figure walked in front of me, with a ferocious burned face, and blind eyes, leaving only one intact eyeball, looking at me and Gu Ruolin coldly.
My expression suddenly changed and I held Gu Ruolin in my arms.
Gu Ruolin was also frightened and shrank into my arms.
This person is clearly Tang Xiaotian!
"Little sister, it's already dark, why are you still walking around outside? The town is not very peaceful these days, so just stay in the old house."
While talking, Tang Xiaotian glanced at me again and suddenly grinned: "Luo Yinpo, you should also come and see my daughter-in-law for the first seven days. Jin Ke must also want to see you."
Tang Xiaotian's voice was thin, almost the same as that of Tang Xiaohua. Paired with the dark sky, it seemed very scary.
I didn't say anything, I supported Gu Ruolin and walked out. Tang Xiaotian also passed us by...
After walking a few steps outside, I asked subconsciously: "Tang Xiaotian and the others live on Yuma Street? They shouldn't be that poor, right?" The entire Yuma Street is a newly built two-story and three-story building. If you have money to build a building, you must have some savings at home.
Gu Ruolin shook her head and whispered: "They don't live here..."
I was stunned for a moment: "Then why is Tang Xiaotian here?"
I glanced back subconsciously, but I saw that Tang Xiaotian had already walked to the old woman, helped her up from the ground, lowered her head and didn't know what she was saying.
He also raised his head sideways and looked towards me, and his eyeballs happened to meet my gaze.
Inexplicably, I suddenly felt like he was smiling! Not to mention how scary that ferocious face is...
And he moved his mouth twice, not knowing what he said to the old woman...
My heart was beating wildly and I didn't dare to stay any longer. I helped Gu Ruolin and walked out quickly!
A few minutes later, we entered the main street, and it finally felt a bit crowded. But I still didn't dare to stop, and I kept going back to the Gu family's old house with Gu Ruolin. The old house was brightly lit at the moment.
There were eight security guards standing at the door, and Gu Kaiyang was also pacing back and forth at the door.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief!
During the day, most of the servants in the old house have left. It is obvious that these security guards should be people brought by Gu Kaiyang. There are many men and strong yang energy, and no ghost dares to approach them.
When Gu Kaiyang saw us, he was obviously relieved and hurried to me and Gu Ruolin.
"Ruolin, Luo Yinpo, what's wrong with you? Are your faces so pale?" Gu Kaiyang also looked tense.
At this moment, Gu Ruolin and I both looked pale and embarrassed, especially since the two of us were still hugging each other tightly. A discerning person could tell that something had happened...
