Dear Officer Zhuang

Chapter 177 Very Independent

"Yes," Wang's mother said, "Xian'er will send us money on the 20th of every month, but this month is on the 21st, and she hasn't sent us money yet. We send her messages and call her." I couldn’t reach her on my mobile phone, so my dad and I went to her company to find her. Her company said that she hadn’t come to work for several weeks, and she didn’t say hello to the company. We asked her company to ask her to live. Address, I came here to look for her again, but we couldn’t find it, so we called the police.”

Wen Mi thought about Wang's mother's words in her heart.

Wang Yaxian was probably killed on November 21st, and her parents only contacted her on the [-]st. The reason for contacting her was that she did not send them money as scheduled.

"From November 19st to NO.[-], hasn't Wang Yaxian contacted you?" Wen Mi asked.

Mother Wang: "No."

"You haven't contacted her either?" Wen Mi said again.

Wang's father said: "Xian'er is very independent, and she will not contact us if there are no major issues."

Wen Mi figured out another meaning in Father Wang's words.

That is to say, there is generally no major event, and Wang Yaxian and her parents will not contact each other.

"Wang Yaxian will send money to you every month for No. 20?" Wen Mi said.

Wang's mother and Wang's father have been completely led astray by Wen Mi, forgetting that they asked Wen Mi and the others to expose the unscrupulous landlord in the first place.

Wang's mother: "Yes, Xian'er is very filial. She started to give us money every month after she started working."

Wen Mi was suspicious of Wang's mother's words, but she didn't show it.

"What do you two do?" Wen Mi asked with a relaxed smile.

"Both of us are not in good health and haven't worked for a while." Father Wang sighed.

I don't know whether he was lamenting that the two of them had no jobs, which brought a lot of pressure to Wang Yaxian, or whether he was lamenting that now that Wang Yaxian was dead, they had no jobs and life was even more difficult.

"Are you two feeling uncomfortable?" Wen Mi asked carefully.

Wang's father sighed: "Her mother and I often suffer from arm pain, leg pain, and angina pain. We went to the hospital for checkups many times but no problem was found."

Mother Wang nodded sadly.

"When was the last time Wang Yaxian contacted you?" Wen Mi asked.

Mother Wang went to see Father Wang in confusion.

"I don't remember." Wang's father was full of sadness: "Xian'er is usually very busy with work, and she is very independent. Usually there is no major event, and she will not contact us."

Father Wang brought up that set of rhetoric again.

"Before NO.20 of this month, when did you contact Wang Yaxian?" Ye Hui smiled and changed the question.

Father Wang pretended to think about it for a while: "No. 20, October No. 20."

Wen Mi and Ye Hui understood.

"When you contacted her on October 20th, was there anything unusual about her?" Wen Mi asked.

Father Wang shook his head: "No."

"Has Wang Yaxian mentioned her friends or colleagues to you?" Wen Mi asked again.

Father Wang still shook his head: "No."

"She doesn't tell us anything. When we ask her about her situation, she always says she's fine." Mother Wang added, "Comrade reporters, don't just ask about Xian'er, her black heart Landlord, you must expose it! Don't let more people be cheated by that black-hearted landlord!"

"Okay, we have a general understanding, thank you both." Wen Mi did not answer Wang's father and mother's question directly, and thanked with a smile.

After finishing speaking, the two of them left before they were stopped by Wang's father and Wang's mother.

The two of them left the unit building and were walking towards the parking place when someone stopped them.

The one who stopped them was the landlady who had just quarreled with Wang's father and Wang's mother.

"You two are reporters?" the male landlady asked with a frown.

Ye Hui glanced at Wen Mi, and replied, "Yes!"

"What did the two of them tell you? Did they tell you to expose me?" The male landlord turned his head to the apartment building with a gloomy face.

Ye Hui glanced at Wen Mi again, not knowing how to answer.

Wen Mi originally planned to ask the landlady about Wang Yaxian's situation, but now the landlady stopped them, she just took this opportunity to ask.

"Wang Yaxian's parents did tell us that, and we also heard something about their quarrel with you." Wen Mi said with a friendly smile.

The male landlord's face was livid: "Don't listen to the two of them making up nonsense. I didn't refuse to refund their rent, they wanted me to refund them all three months' rent..."

The male landlord told the story again, the general content was almost the same as what Wen Mi and the others had heard.

After waiting for him to finish speaking, Wen Mi took advantage of the situation and asked, "How long has Wang Yaxian lived here?"

"It's been almost two years."

"What kind of tenant is she?" Wen Mi asked again.

"She's fine." The male landlord said: "I only met her when she was renting the house, and we kept in touch through WeChat after that. She only contacted me when paying the rent. Usually, something is broken in the house. Yes, she solved it by herself. She also cherishes the house and is a very worry-free tenant."

"I learned from her parents that she passed away unexpectedly, and I was quite sad. She was much better than her parents."

"Will Wang Yaxian pay the rent on time?" Wen Mi asked.

"It's very timely, she always pays the rent on time. Only once, she told me that she has no money, can she pay the rent next month after the salary is paid. I think she usually pays the rent on time, and rarely pays the rent. If I cause trouble, I agree." The landlady said.

"When did this happen?" Wen Mi asked.

"It happened last month." The male landlord said: "She should pay the next quarter's rent on October 15th, but she said she has no money, can you postpone it for a week, and wait for her to pay the rent on the 20th. I agreed to pay the salary. I agreed. When NO.20 came, I didn’t urge her, so she just paid the next quarter’s rent.”

Wen Mi is thoughtful.

NO.20 of every month is also when Wang Yaxian gives money to her parents.

If Wang Yaxian doesn't even have the money to pay the rent, and she collects the next quarter's rent on October 20th, will the money she gives to her parents be affected?

How would her parents react if the money she gave her parents was affected?
"Have you seen anyone come to look for Wang Yaxian recently?" Wen Mi asked.

"No." The male landlord shook his head: "I don't live in this neighborhood, and I usually don't come here when I have nothing to do. If her parents didn't say they would check her out today, I wouldn't come here either."

The male landlord paused, and then said: "Don't be fooled by her parents. I think I have a good conscience. Wang Yaxian said that she has no money to pay the rent, so let me give her a break. I'll say nothing." I agreed without saying anything. I don’t have to worry about renting this house at all, so I don’t have to be so reasonable.”

"Knowing that she died in an accident, I am willing to refund her parents two months' rent. I have done my best. Her parents are very greedy and asked me to refund them all three months' rent."
