Chapter 2708 Wrong Relocation Address
"Why are there two more paths?" Lu Weiwei looked at the two paths on the left and right, feeling a little puzzled.

But Officer Wang quickly responded: "That's easy. Xiao Yuan and I will go to the right, and you and Gu Chen will go to the left. Whoever finds these two elderly people first will notify us."

"Okay." After hearing what Officer Wang said, Gu Chen nodded in agreement.

Then we parted at the intersection.

So Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei and walked down step by step along the stone steps.

This place is close to the river and the terrain is higher, so the height difference of the buildings is relatively large.

This place was a residential area a long time ago. After years of development, it gradually became an old community.

Although the population continued to grow at that time and there were many factories nearby, most of the residents here were family members of the employees of those factories.

In addition, there is no need for demolition here, so the only option is to renovate the old houses.

Many old buildings look clean and tidy after being renovated.

Therefore, many ancient buildings and ancient roads are preserved here.

There were some creaking sounds on the stone slabs that Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were walking on.

There is moss growing on many stone slabs, but it can be seen that the stone road is relatively clean because there are residents living here.

"Junior Brother Gu, it seems that there are many elderly people living in this place." Along the way, Lu Weiwei has seen many elderly people living in the old houses on both sides of the road.

Gu Chen nodded silently: "They may have lived here for many years and don't want to move away?"

"How about we go over and ask?" Lu Weiwei said.

"Okay." Gu Chen also agreed.

So the two of them turned inside at an intersection and found an old lady peeling edamame at the door.

Lu Weiwei quickly stepped forward and started talking to the old lady: "Grandma, have you seen this person?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Weiwei immediately took out photos of Wen Jun's grandparents and showed them in front of the old lady.

The old lady picked up the reading glasses beside her and put them on her nose. She squinted and looked at it, then shook her head: "I haven't seen it before."

"They seem to live nearby, haven't you seen them?" Lu Weiwei asked again.

The old lady still hesitated for a moment, but continued to shake her head to deny: "I haven't seen it."

"Have any outsiders moved in nearby recently?" Gu Chen also changed the way he asked the question.

The old lady thought for a moment and slowly said, "These are all old houses. People who usually live nearby are small vendors doing business on that old street."

"Usually, locals also rent out some old houses to outsiders."

"But it's only a small part, because many of those who do business here have bought houses in the city, and those who live here are small vendors, those who do small business."

"Then do you know which new family has moved in recently?" Gu Chen continued to ask.

The old lady scratched the back of her head and pointed to a place below and said, "A few months ago, it seems that a couple of elderly people moved in down there. I only heard about it, but I don't go there very often, so I don't know."

"Which position below is it?" Lu Weiwei asked with bright eyes.

The old lady stood up immediately, took Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen to the stone steps, pointed at a house and said, "Is that the house? The white one?"

"I saw it." Gu Chen responded.

"Just go find that house. That's the one."

"Okay, thank you grandma." Seeing that the old lady had provided the information, it was very useful for Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei.

After all, for the elderly who moved here recently, this range is relatively small and easier to break through.

After saying goodbye to the old lady, the two continued to walk down the stone steps.

I don’t know how long they walked before they realized that the white building was on their left.

There is a small path leading in, but it is quite narrow and surrounded by many fire-fighting facilities.

Gu Chen took Lu Weiwei inside and came to the building.

This is a three-story building with a small courtyard, but it is just a mini courtyard.

There is a pomelo tree in the yard and the door of the building is open.

Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, pushed open the iron gate of the yard, and came to the building.

"Is anyone there?" Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Weiwei tried to call out, but soon she heard a noise coming from inside the house.

"Is anyone there?" Lu Weiwei called out again.

"Anyone here, are you renting this house?" At this moment, a response came from a middle-aged woman behind the building.

Not long after, the middle-aged woman in pajamas walked out of the building.

Seeing that they were two policemen in uniform, the middle-aged woman was stunned and asked curiously, "Comrade police, what can I do for you?"

"Is this your home?" Gu Chen said, pointing at the white building.

"Yes, this is my home." The middle-aged woman nodded silently.

So Lu Weiwei continued to ask: "Besides your own family, do you rent out your house to others?"

"Yes." Seeing Lu Weiwei asking, the middle-aged woman quickly responded:

"It's an old house, so there are many empty rooms, so I rent it out to outsiders. It's quite cost-effective to rent a room for a few hundred yuan."

"So, do these two people live with you?" Upon hearing this, Gu Chen took out his mobile phone and opened the photo album.

Looking at the old man in Gu Chen's phone, the middle-aged woman was stunned, nodded silently, and said without hesitation:

"These two elderly people do live with me. They moved in a few months ago. But it's strange that they signed a six-month contract, but suddenly they wanted to move out at the end of last month."

"I said the contract has been signed and the rent has been paid. If you breach the contract, I will not refund the rent."

"But the strange thing is that they didn't even ask for the rent. They just said there was an emergency at home and they had to leave quickly."

"I was quite puzzled at the time, but after all, they paid me a lot of money. Overall, I made a profit, so I just let them do what they wanted."

"They moved out early? At the end of last month?" When Lu Weiwei heard this, she also realized that there was something fishy.

The middle-aged woman nodded silently: "Yes, it was last month... on the 29th of last month? They suddenly told me that they had to move out urgently."

"But they left after only living here for a few months, and in such a hurry. It felt like they were fleeing. What a funny couple."

"Do you still have the rental contract?" Gu Chen asked.

"some."

"Bring it here and let me see." said Gu Chen.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll go look for it." After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she immediately walked into the house again and opened the door of a room on the first floor. Then, the two heard a commotion in the room.

Lu Weiwei looked at Gu Chen and expressed her opinion: "Junior Brother Gu, do you think these two old men are suspicious?"

"It seems like you're always running away from something? It's like you're living here for fear of being discovered."

"Especially the neighbors of these two elderly people, they were in a hurry to leave when they met them here, which in itself is very abnormal."

"I know." Lu Weiwei expressed her doubts.

Indeed, judging from the behaviors of the two elderly people, it is indeed worthy of vigilance.

It is especially unreasonable for two elderly people to live in such a place instead of their own old house.

You know, the old house is still owned by this old couple, but why don’t they move back?
Just as I thought of this, footsteps were heard in the room.

Soon, the middle-aged woman came up to the two of them with a contract and said, "This is it."

Gu Chen took the rental contract in his hand and took a closer look. The tenant was written as Xu Baogen, who was obviously Xu Guiying's father and Wen Jun's grandfather.

And here is the accurate ID number.

Gu Chen took out his mobile phone without hesitation, took the photo, then returned the contract to the middle-aged woman and asked:

"Did they leave anything behind when they left?"

"Well, just some daily necessities. Some of them were not taken away, so they were left in the room."

"Can you take us over to have a look?" Gu Chen said.

"Oh, sure." Feeling that the two policemen were here to investigate the case, the middle-aged woman did not dare to delay and quickly led them upstairs.

The middle-aged woman also said as she walked: "We live on the first floor of this house, and the second and third floors are rented out."

"But there are not many people renting here. This elderly couple rented a room on the second floor. There is a toilet on each floor, with separate dry and wet areas. They can also cook, so it's quite convenient."

As they were talking, the middle-aged woman had already led the two of them to the front of the room, then took out the key and opened the door.

With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open.

Only then did Gu Chen realize that the room was not big, but it was already a mess with many plastic bags thrown casually on the ground.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman also smiled and said, "When the old couple packed up their things, they didn't clean it up, so it's a mess."

"But usually there are not many people living here. If someone rents the house, we will clean it up."

"It doesn't matter." Gu Chen didn't mind these things. Instead, he was glad that the house didn't need to be cleaned too much.

Walking into the room, Gu Chen carefully checked everything around him.

There is a big bed, a wardrobe, a desk and two chairs.

There is a small balcony connected to the room. By pushing open the balcony door, you can go outside the house.

This is exactly the place to hang clothes.

Seeing all this, Gu Chen turned around and walked into the room, and also checked the miscellaneous items left behind by the two old people.

"They are all daily necessities, and they are not valuable things. Maybe we left in a hurry, so we don't want them anymore." Seeing Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei checking carefully, the middle-aged woman hurriedly explained.

At this time, Lu Weiwei looked up at the middle-aged woman and asked her curiously, "When you took over the room, did you take anything away from the room?"

"No, no, they are all worthless things. I never cleaned them up at all." Hearing Lu Weiwei's words, the middle-aged woman hurried to clarify.

After all, it seemed that the two policemen were looking for something, so the middle-aged woman spoke very cautiously.

But a moment later, she immediately asked again: "By the way, police comrade, is there anything wrong with these two people?"

"We just want to find them right now. They may be involved in a case." Gu Chen didn't say it too bluntly.

But the middle-aged woman understood what he meant, which was that these two old people might be involved in a case, so the police came to investigate.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman became a little nervous and quickly said, "I just rented a vacant room to them. I didn't think too much about it. They left in a hurry and I don't know what they were going to do."

"Anyway, the rental contract is just like that. You can take a look at it and see if there is anything else you need to cooperate with."

"No more for now." Seeing that the room was filled with daily necessities and had no investigation value, Gu Chen looked up at the middle-aged woman and said:
"When they left, did they really not tell you where they were going?"

"No." Faced with Gu Chen's question, the middle-aged woman still chose to shake her head in denial.

So Gu Chen asked again: "What do you think? Will they go back to other places? Or will they continue to stay in this city?"

"Uh……"

Feeling that this question was so difficult, the middle-aged woman suddenly became speechless.

Seeing that the middle-aged woman really couldn't answer, Lu Weiwei sighed and said:
"Forget it. If you know the whereabouts of these two elderly people, please remember to contact us in time."

As they spoke, Lu Weiwei gave the woman the criminal investigation team's business card.

"Okay, okay. If I have any news about these two people, I will inform you as soon as possible."

After a while of communication, the two sides parted at the gate of the yard.

Afterwards, Lu Weiwei contacted Officer Wang and asked him to meet Yuan Shasha at the intersection.

When everyone came together, Yuan Shasha quickly came over and asked, "How is it? Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Gu, have you found the residence of the old couple?"

"We did find them, but the two old people moved away again." Lu Weiwei also looked frustrated.

I always feel that these two old men may have smelled some news and met an acquaintance here, so they left in a hurry.

If they hadn't met any acquaintances, the old couple might have continued to live in seclusion here.

Officer Wang was also curious and asked, "Only the old couple live here. What about Xu Guiying? Doesn't she live here?"

"No." Facing Officer Wang's question, Gu Chen shook his head and denied it.

"According to the current investigation, only the elderly couple lived here, and Xu Guiying was not there."

"But as long as we find these old couple, we will definitely find Xu Guiying."

As he was speaking, Gu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was He Junchao calling, Gu Chen quickly swiped the answer button: "Brother He, how is it?"

"Gu Chen, I checked the identity information you provided me. This old couple used to live in Rongcheng, but I don't know what happened. They only moved back here in the last few months."

"Living in Chengdu? Aren't they living in Shanghai?" Gu Chen thought that the people who moved Xu Guiying's family there were all from Shanghai, and the truck they hired had a license plate from there.

Logically speaking, they should have moved to the Magic City, but now He Junchao told him that it was in Chengdu, which made Gu Chen quite curious.
