Chen Xiang Yinwan never thought that he would be treated as a suspect.
Although Shen Yueying's insurance during her lifetime was not huge, she was just an ordinary old man, and Chen Xiangyin was her only relative.
It's hard not to suspect that she doesn't want to support him, and she covets hundreds of thousands in compensation.
The police have no evidence, and Chen Xiangyin is temporarily free, but he must cooperate with the investigation at any time and cannot leave the market.
After coming out of the police station, Chen Xiang headed straight to Biluo Ancient Town.
Shen Yueying died unexpectedly, and she was the subject of suspicion.
She had to do something.
Chen Xiang changed into clean and decent clothes and walked through the alleys of Biluo Ancient Town.
Knock on the door of a house.
The person who opened the door was an old man in his seventies, with a stooped back and a posture that reflected a lifetime of hard work.
"Girl, who are you looking for?"
Chen Xiangyin smiled warmly: "Old man, I want to ask something." As she said that, she picked up the gift on her hand and bought it at a nearby store.
Milk, cereal, cookies.
She has no money.
"Oh, my mother-in-law and I don't go out very often every day. What are you asking about? We may not know."
The old man looked at the gift boxes with concern in his eyes.
"Since I'm here, I need a gift. It doesn't matter whether you know it or not."
The uncle shouted loudly into the room: "Auntie! There is a girl who came to inquire about something!"
Chen Xiangyin followed the guidance and entered the courtyard. This was a second-entry courtyard. It was quite large, but slightly dilapidated.
The walls are peeling off and old objects are piled up everywhere.
Inside the house, the aunt poured broken tea for Agarwood to drink.
On the table, there are also several gift boxes containing ginseng, deer antlers, and sea cucumbers.
Chen Xiangyin looked at the family portrait on the wall. Two old people were smiling happily, and there was a young couple in the middle holding a swaddled baby.
But the image of the woman in the middle looked blurry, and she was probably no longer alive.
Chen Xiang got straight to the point: "Auntie, did you take a video in the alley last night?"
The aunt's smile suddenly froze and she was shocked: "No! I didn't see it!"
Chen Xiang smiled and reassured: "Mom, don't be afraid. Last night, my man and I fought. We both practice martial arts, so the scene was a bit intense."
"Really?" The aunt was timid, as if she was afraid that Chen Xiangyin was here to kill someone and silence her.
The uncle continued: "How can you be so cruel when you two are fighting? Husband and wife...the most important thing is harmony!"
Chenxiang cried out in sorrow, her eyes watering: "Hey, every family has a hard time to recite. He fell in love with someone else and wanted to divorce me. I thought, if I don't love you anymore, let me go. I didn't expect that I found out I am pregnant with his child, and I want to give birth to the child and raise it myself, but he is worried that I will not let him go after I give birth to the child."
Chen Xiangyin looked at his aunt and said aggrievedly: "He abused me domestically and the child was gone. I was disheartened and wanted to take away my own things when I came back, but he refused to give them to me. I didn't say a word correctly, and he Chasing me and fighting is what you saw last night."
Chen Xiangyin grabbed the frowning aunt's hand and said, "Auntie, the video yesterday is very important to me. I want to call the police. That is evidence."
The aunt was about to speak but hesitated for a long time: "Oh, I'm really... tsk."
The silent old man on the side had a dark face, said nothing, and silently lit his pipe.
"What's wrong, ma'am?" Chen Xiangyin asked.
The aunt looked towards the back room, Chen Xiangyin followed her gaze and saw a tall figure coming out of the door, holding grandma's mobile phone in his hand.
It's the man from last night!
He was wearing a slightly loose black casual suit today, which made his already tall and straight figure even more handsome. His whole person was serious and mysterious, and could not be offended.
Good boy, let him get there first.
When the uncle saw him coming out, he hit the ground with his crutch several times angrily.
"Girl, it's because we were blind and deceived by this bastard! Most of the video has been deleted by him! But don't be afraid, we all saw it last night!"
The aunt echoed: "Call the police! Is there any other method?! The two of us will be your witnesses!"
The man raised his eyebrows: "Go out and talk?"
"Okay." Chen Xiang stood up.
The aunt held her hand: "Aren't you afraid that he will hit you again! Don't go with him! He is so big and tall, and he beats a little girl like you? He is really nothing!"
With that said, the aunt stepped forward and snatched away her senior phone, and then spat at the man's feet.
"I'll pay the money and I won't divorce you." The man looked at Chen Xiangyin with a smile in his eyes.
Chen Xiangyin felt extremely embarrassed. Just now, he was possessed by the drama spirit and improvised without even restraining himself.
Chen Xiangyin held Auntie's hand sincerely: "Auntie, thank you for caring about me, but I don't want to hurt you. He is very vindictive. He treats me like this, let alone you? Don't worry, there are many people outside, he You won’t do anything to me.”
The aunt was persuaded, sighed, and gave the man another hard look.
The uncle picked up the gift boxes: ginseng, deer antlers, and sea cucumbers, and threw them at the man: "Take your things! Get out of my house!"
The man was hit hard and seemed to be angry, his body trembled.
Chen Xiangyin immediately smoothed things over: "Just treat these things as if they were bought by me!" She picked up the gift box from the ground and stuffed it back into the hands of the second elder.
"Uncle and aunt, his money was originally our common property, but now he monopolizes it and will give it to Xiao Sanhua. Keep it and don't take advantage of him!"
Turning around, Chen Xiangyin was angry with the man: "Let's go."
The aunt shouted from behind: "Girl, if you need us to testify, just ask! Don't let the bad guys take advantage!"
Chen Xiang turned around and nodded: There are still many good people in this world.
Walking side by side, the shoulder was hit by an elbow, the man did it on purpose.
He lowered his voice and said: "You know how to give something as a gift. You are not completely ungrateful, you are still polite."
"Both each other." Chen Xiangyin also secretly pushed the man with his shoulder: "Tell me, what is your name? What do you do?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Eavesdropping on my corner, and now destroying evidence, shouldn't there be an explanation?"
The man shrugged: "Who said I was here to destroy evidence?"
"Then what are you doing here?"
Having said this, the two of them had walked to the busiest street in Biluo Ancient Town and stood face to face.
Really tall, Chen Xiangyin thought as he looked up at the man.
"Of course Chacha, who are you? So lawless." The man said.
"Are you checking me? Aren't you trying to be a guest?"
The man disagreed and narrowed his phoenix eyes.
"What does my grandma's death have to do with you?"
"It doesn't matter. Don't touch the porcelain."
"I'm touching porcelain? My grandma and I are at Yanhang Lake, why are you following?"
The man leaned down, leaned close to the agarwood and whispered: "I would like to ask, you keep saying that your grandma is dead, why, I saw, she can still walk on her own?"
Agarwood was startled.
"And the question and answer you were talking to yourself at home last night, are you..." He pointed to his head, "Is there a problem here?"
Chen Xiang was not annoyed, stood up on tiptoes, and came close to his ear: "Your skills are not like ordinary people. Since you are curious about me, why not find a quiet place to chat?"
Her articulation is very charming and makes people's hearts tingle when listening to it.
The corner of the man's mouth curled up slightly: "I'm not free today."
Turning around, meeting Chen Xiangyin's probing eyes, he took a step back unconsciously.
Chen Xiangyin chuckled and took a step back: "Aren't you free all day? What about at night?"
She saw the man raise his eyebrows, and then reached out to her: "Give me the phone."
Chen Xiangyin took out his phone and handed it to him.
The auntie has the same old phone, but the paint peeled off after using it.
The man pressed the number on it, and the mechanical female voice of the old man's phone read out his number like a loudspeaker.
When he returned the phone, he said, "I'll call you tonight." Then he turned around and left.
Chen Xiangyin took the phone and looked at it. On the green screen were three large pixel characters: Crane rising to the sky.
What a good name. There are gods and goddesses upstairs in every house, vying to see the cranes soaring into the sky.
She made a bet to herself that as long as he was a normal man, he would definitely come.
In the evening, Agarwood prepared tea early and waited for guests to come.
Light a cigarette and lean on the agarwood in the narrow room on the second floor.
She had been wandering and hiding for many years. If she hadn't had recurring dreams about Shen Yueying, she might not have come back here again.
Shen Ji Tailoring is the structure of an old wooden house, and the second floor is even more cramped.
It was just a few square meters, with a small bed by the window, and the traces of Shen Yueying's life.
When Shen Yueying was killed, it was hard to say whether it was for her.
I am an asshole enough to not come back for so many years and let Shen Yueying die alone, even if I take her away?
With some moisture in his eyes, Chen Xiangyin pushed open the wooden window, supported it with a wooden stick, and tilted his head to look outside.
Scissor Lane has not yet been developed and still retains its ancient style.
What I'm most afraid of is being moved by the scene. When I come back here, I will inevitably fall in love every now and then.
Until the loud horn of the old man's mobile phone sounded, bringing her back to the present moment from her melancholy.
Agarwood raised the corners of her mouth and leaned half of her body out of the window.
On the streets of the ancient town without streetlights, cranes stood tall and tall against the night sky. They held a cigarette between their fingertips and took a deep breath. The firelight reflected the outline of their faces.
After meeting her eyes, he neatly threw the cigarette butt to the ground, raised his steps and walked towards the door.
Agarwood led him downstairs. Behind the creaking wooden door, a tall crane towering into the sky blocked the doorway, very close.
"It's so late, I'm almost asleep." Chen Xiangyin's voice was soft, not coquettish but charming.
There is a slight smell of blood and potions in the air.
He Chongtian's arm was seriously injured.
Chen Xiangyin poured tea, "You didn't hurt your hands, did you?"
He sneered to the sky, Zhao Zhao killed him the night before, why would he pretend to be a good person now?
The fragrant tea aroma disperses along with the steaming water mist, and the water column makes a crisp sound.
Chen Xiangyin pushed the cup, but He Tingtian did not drink.
"Shen Ji Tailoring." He Chongtian looked at the surrounding environment.
The tailor shop on the first floor is filled with all kinds of fabrics and ready-made clothes. They were all made by Shen Yueying during his lifetime. The business is not very good, and a lot of them have been left unsold and are gathering dust.
"There is only one old man in this tailor shop, Shen Yueying, who lives alone. Why haven't I seen you before?"
"My name is Chen Xiangyin, and Shen Yueying is my grandmother. Do you often travel here?" Chen Xiangyin pushed the teacup again: "Where's the rock tea from Wuyi Mountain."
Crane nodded and repeated: "Agarwood Yin."
He still doesn't drink.
A gust of evil wind blew the wooden door, making an unusual noise.
Chen Xiangyin shivered in fright.
He laughed to the sky: "I can't tell that you are so cowardly. Why, is there something wrong in your heart?"
Chen Xiangyin smiled brightly: "Why can't I be timid? By the way, why are you eavesdropping on my corner?"
"Passing by, curious."
"What a coincidence?" Chen Xiangyin drank a cup of tea, "Are you afraid of poisoning me if you don't drink it?"
He raised his lips and said, "I don't drink anything from outside."
Chen Xiangyin nodded: "Then you will be in trouble."
"So, your grandma got up and walked again after she died?"
Chen Xiang refused to respond and started talking: "So curious?"
He Chongtian smiled and shook his head, turning the metal lighter in his hand: "I can't help it, I'm naturally curious. If you don't tell me, I won't be able to sleep when I go back at night."
"Do you have trouble sleeping?"
He raised his eyebrows to the sky but said nothing.
Chen Xiangyin then said: "Then, why don't you go back to sleep?"
He Chongtian tensed his jawline for a moment, and looked at Chen Xiangyin with piercing eyes.
Chen Xiangyin poured another cup of tea and drank it.
Looking at the crane soaring into the sky, his eyes gradually became distracted, and he seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The moment He Chongtian fell asleep and closed his eyes, Chen Xiangyin stood up: "I asked you to drink tea, but you didn't drink it."
The faintly floating agarwood in the incense burner adds something, and the tea is the antidote.
