Detective Files II

Chapter 254
"How do you know that the person came to ask for a debt? And how do you know that Wu Liang owed the other party money? Wu Liang mentioned it to you?" Tian Mi was dubious, and the way Sister Gu told her really sounded unreliable. , I always feel that there are mostly fabricated elements.

"How could it be that Wu Liang told me! If you owe a whole lot of debt and someone came to your door, would you tell others? How embarrassing!" Sister Gu curled her lips, "When the debtor came to scold me, I Heard it in the house! He said he didn’t pay back the money he owed, and he was going to talk to Wu Liang forever.”

When Sister Gu said this, Tian Mi instantly thought of the scene of Sister Gu eavesdropping in the door when she and Lu Xiangdong were locked out. It must have been the same at the beginning. This Sister Gu was not only suspicious, but also There is a heart that is extremely enthusiastic about gossip.

"What does the person who came to ask for money look like? Do you have any impression?" Putting aside her personal opinion on Sister Gu's behavior, Tian Mi focused on matters related to the case. , although she already had an estimate in her heart, she still had to ask clearly.

It may be because after a while, Sister Gu couldn't answer for a while, she blinked her eyes, recalled it for a long time, and then said: "If I remember correctly, that man is neither tall nor short, and has a good figure." ,Neither fat nor thin!"

Tian Mi didn't know how to respond. Sister Gu's description applies to at least two-thirds of the young and middle-aged male population in City C. Basically, saying it means saying nothing, and it is worthless.

"What age do you look like? Are there any characteristics in appearance?" She guided Sister Gu.

Sister Gu thought about it again: "Looking at his age, he must be in his 20s! Features... Features... Oh! I remembered! There seems to be a mole on that person's forehead!"

After hearing what she said, Tian Mi took out a photo from her bag and handed it to Sister Gu: "Do you look like this person?"

The photo was taken by Nian Yongjun. Nian Yongjun looks unremarkable, and his biggest feature is probably the little mole on his forehead.

Sister Gu finally took a look at the photo, nodded, and returned the photo to Tian Mi, and said with a little reproach: "Don't you have a photo! Then let me bother to remember what, why don't you show it to me just now?" !"

Let me show you directly, I'm afraid you'll show me another "man with a dead axe", regardless of whether it's true or not, you will be suspicious of the photos.Tian Mi secretly thought in her heart.

"How long have Sister Gu and Wu Liang lived as neighbors?" Tian Mi took back the photo of Nian Yongjun and continued to ask.

Sister Gu moved her fingers: "Hey, it's over ten years old!"

"In the early ten years... Did you live here first, or did they live here first?"

"We moved in first! They lived in less than a year, and the couple brought their child to live in. The child was only so old at that time, and he talked in a childish voice. In a blink of an eye, he was so tall! "Sister Gu gestured in the air.

It seems that this is why Sister Gu, who is so gossip, didn't mention the relationship between Wu Zhida and Gui Xiuqin.

According to Nian Yongjun's description, plus Tian Mi's previous experience with Gui Xiuqin, Gui Xiuqin kept secret about Wu Zhida's blood relationship. When Wu Zhida moved to this house, Wu Zhida was almost four years old. The child, if you don't tell me yourself, who can know if the child was born by the hostess of this family.

Besides, Sister Gu also mentioned that Gui Xiuqin had always been very kind to Wu Zhida before.

So, why did it become bad later on?He also asked the child to ride a bicycle all the way to a restaurant in the suburbs alone at night.

"When was the last time you saw their family?" Tian Mi finally asked Sister Gu.

"It was the night before yesterday, but I didn't see anyone, I just heard the sound, it seemed that the woman next door yelled at her son or her husband, and then someone slammed the door and went out, who is it?" did not see it."

"About what time?"

"Just finished the news broadcast."

After writing down these details, Tian Mi thanked Sister Gu, pretended not to understand her bewildering temptations and inquiries, and left Sister Gu's house with Lu Xiangdong.

The neighbor at the opposite door hadn't been contacted yet. Tian Mi decided to try again and knocked on the door again. After a while, there was a voice asking inside: "Who is it?"

Tian Mi explained her identity and purpose in the same way, but this time it went very smoothly. The door opened with a click, and there stood a burly young man with a height of 190 centimeters in the door.

Tian Mi looked up at him, and also felt that the presence of this person was very oppressive, and secretly smiled in her heart, no wonder the elder sister Gu who was at the opposite door had such an attitude towards this young man like an enemy.

The young man looked fierce, but his attitude was very polite. He nodded to Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong, and let them in through the door.

"We came here just now, and there is no one in your house." Tian Mi casually exchanged greetings with the young man before going straight to the topic.

The young man grinned and said, "Ah, yes, I just got off work, no, I just came back! What do you want from me?"

In view of the fact that this person felt very straightforward, Tian Mi didn't go around much with him, and went straight to the point, asking about his neighbor Gui Xiuqin's family.

"That family!" The young man curled his lips, "I just moved here not long ago, and I don't know much about them. I just feel that their lives are not very peaceful. Every day, the wife cries and the children call, which is a bit disturbing. Others I don't know what."

"Have you never had any contact?"

"Contact... It seems that there is no contact, oh, the woman from that family came to borrow a stool from me two days ago, does this count as contact?"

"Borrow a stool? When did it happen? Why do you borrow a stool?"

"Yesterday... Oh, no, it was the day before yesterday! She seemed to be visiting a poker friend, and the stool at home was not enough, so she came to borrow it from me, and returned it after a while after it was useless."

"Does she often bring people back to play mahjong?"

"That's not true! Apart from the frequent fights and quarrels in that house, it's rare to see any guests coming to the door. It is estimated that relatives and friends are all from other places." The young man Yi Le, He joked casually, "It feels like a lonely family. Maybe the only hobby is family wars."

Asked about the mother-child relationship between Gui Xiuqin and Wu Zhida, the young man seemed a little dazed, saying that he hadn't noticed it at all, which is a reasonable thing. In itself, men's enthusiasm for gossip about neighbors is far less than that of women. Fierce, not to mention that the previous Sister Gu was also a gossip fanatic among women. This young man's information volume is far from hers, so it is not difficult to understand.

Tian Mi also politely inquired about Nian Yongjun's door-to-door asking for debts, but also did not get any information. The young man said that before the Spring Festival, he had taken vacation and returned to his parents' house for the holiday.

"Although this house is my home, I'm not married, I don't have a girlfriend, I'm just my brother, and sometimes I go to my parents' place for dinner after work. It's cold and slippery, so I live there 365 days a year. I can only live in this house for 165 days, so I don’t know the people around me very well.”

The young man expressed his helplessness.

Leaving Gui Xiuqin's community, Tian Mi thought about it, and asked Lu Xiangdong to drive to Wu Zhida's school by the way, to find out the situation.

"Gui Xiuqin is really a bit unbelievable." On the way, she said to Lu Xiangdong, "My husband and son didn't come home all night, she didn't know, and she was called to the Red Lantern Restaurant by us the next day. Pay attention to the turnover! I rarely bring people home at night, but on the night when Wu Liang and his son had an accident, they suddenly brought friends home to play mahjong, and even ran to the neighbor to borrow a stool! Judging from the tone of the man just now, he I'm not familiar with Wu Liang's family, but Sister Gu seems to be familiar with Wu Liang's family. After all, they have been neighbors for ten years. Why didn't Gui Xiuqin borrow a stool from Sister Gu, but went to borrow a stool from an unfamiliar neighbor? If it were me, I would find someone I know to borrow more comfortably."

"Opposites repel each other." Lu Xiangdong said concisely.

Tian Mi had a look of disbelief: "Gui Xiuqin's age is about the same as Sister Gu's. People of the same age should be easy to get along with, right? On the other hand, the man just now was only in his 20s, so much younger than Gui Xiuqin, so he wouldn't be the opposite sex. Suck it?!"

"You're still a woman, why don't you understand women's psychology at all?" Lu Xiangdong squinted his eyes and looked Tian Mi up and down, then shook his head.

Tian Mi felt uncomfortable when he looked at her, and turned back with a straight face: "Yes, I am a woman! I don't understand anything! You are a friend of women! You understand everything! Then teach me!"

"No problem," Lu Xiangdong didn't frighten her agitation at all, "For women, the closer they are, the closer and younger women are, the more difficult it is to get along with, because they are still within their range of jealousy. A lot of them are fine. In addition, Miss Gu is a gossip and suspicious person. Gui Xiuqin, no matter from the general psychology of women or from the purpose of protecting her private affairs from prying eyes, she gave up Gu. It is logical to choose the option of eldest sister, but to choose the other side."

Lu Xiangdong's statement made Tian Mi unable to refute, and at the same time, another question arose: "You said, Gui Xiuqin deliberately brought someone to play mahjong at home that day, and after only a short period of time, he changed the 'venue' and borrowed a stool. Also according to what you said, could Miss Gu, who can avoid gossip, have some other purpose for fear of people knowing?"

Suddenly, the scene of sending Gui Xiuqin away from the Public Security Bureau that day flashed into Tian Mi's mind again. At that time, Gui Xiuqin's eyes flickered, and she responded to Tian Mi's strong refusal to send her home, and her words after discovering her gaffe.

So she told Lu Xiangdong what she said, and asked, "What do you think Gui Xiuqin is trying to cover up?"

Lu Xiangdong shook his head: "The answer to this question is beyond the scope of logical analysis and requires information and evidence."
