Eye of Sin

According to the information provided by Sun Man, the landlord, Bi Runlin, the head of the house, is a programmer. She is not sure what unit she works in. She only knows that occasionally Bi Runlin will work overtime in his "room" in the living room. Communicate with colleagues online or on mobile phones about overtime progress, program running status, etc.

Sun Man didn't understand much about the work. She could only understand that it was a broad category of "programmer". From the tone of Bi Runlin's speech, it seemed that the unit was a large company with many employees. The departments were relatively small and the work process was relatively more complicated. , so Bi Runlin sometimes couldn't help but complain to his colleagues on the phone.

When he is angry, his voice will naturally rise, sometimes even with a bit of anger, which Sun Man, as a tenant, can hear very clearly.

However, this situation doesn't happen often. Most of the time, Bi Runlin leaves early and comes home late. He hardly cooks at home. When he comes home from get off work every day, he carries a packed lunch, which is also very cheap. lunch box.

Sun Man said that Bi Runlin is similar to Tong Chujun in that he is not a talkative person. Most of the time, he seems a bit withdrawn and does not like to talk. Even when he looks at people, he always likes to look at people with the corners of his eyes, as if he does not dare to be generous. Looking over, it was as if I had to take a peek.

He lived a very simple life. He only had the same two sets of clothes all year round, changing them back and forth. Even if they were washed and worn, he wouldn't change them. The same goes for his shoes. A pair of sneakers would be worn from spring to winter, and he would change them when they were worn out. One pair, continue to wear it regardless of winter or summer.

"I asked my friends and they all said that programmers' salaries are not low," Sun Man said to Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan. "I don't understand why he, a big man, can live in such poverty.

I have lived here for so long, and I have never heard that he has a girlfriend or anything. He is in his thirties, and he is just an old man all day long, and he keeps to himself...

Don’t you think it’s abnormal for a person to live like this?

So I have always been quite conflicted. It turned out that the reason I lived here was because I felt that the landlord was at work during the day and was almost never at home. On weekends, he often worked overtime and was away from home.

At that time, there was Tong Chujun. She worked two shifts. She would go to work during the day shift. During the night shift, their unit was quite good. She didn’t need to go to the unit and could just work online at home. In this way, Tong Chujun would work online every night. At home, the two of us keep each other company and encourage each other.

Later, she moved away, and I began to hesitate whether to move out, but I also couldn't bear the fact that the rent here was cheap and I didn't have to pay for water, electricity, gas, and internet...

He originally thought that he would have company again when the landlord found another girl, but after all this time, he still couldn't find a new tenant to move in.

Originally, I was a bit complaining about Tong Chujun in my heart. I thought she was not interesting enough. Even if I didn’t want to live there anymore, I might as well move out with her if I told her in advance!

As a result... As a result, now that you are telling me that something happened to Tong Chujun, I suddenly feel even more scared! "

Sun Man rubbed his arms, unable to hide the worry on his face.

"It seems that you and Tong Chujun had a lot of exchanges before!" Ning Shuyi was a little surprised that Sun Man knew so much about Tong Chujun, including Tong Chujun's work situation.

"The main reason is that I like to talk. She doesn't like to talk, so I take the initiative to talk to her. She is cooking in the kitchen, so I talk to her at the door of the kitchen.

Otherwise, I'm afraid that if the landlord is in the living room, she will feel uncomfortable in the kitchen. So I would take the initiative to strike up a conversation with her and ask her something. I wouldn’t be able to respond to every word, but after asking five sentences, she would at least say “hmm” three times or something. Then slowly we’ll get to know each other, right? ! "Sun Man replied very matter-of-factly.

"Is Tong Chujun afraid of your landlord?" Ning Shuyi heard some clues from her words.

Sun Man hesitated for a moment: "I can't say this, it's just my own feeling.

Even for a careless person like me, who is more courageous than generous, I am a little worried about the landlord. She feels much less courageous than me, like a little bird, so I think she should also feel uncomfortable. , it was uncomfortable, so I took it upon myself to go out often to accompany her and give her courage.

Not once did she say that she found me annoying and asked me not to go out and make noise with her, so I just assumed that I guessed it right! "

Ning Shuyi thought for a while, glanced at the time, and then asked: "Can I ask, your landlord Bi Runlin, has he done anything that makes you feel suspicious, so you have always been worried about him?"

Sun Man pursed his lips, hesitated even more, hesitated for a moment, and shook his head.

"Are you worried and don't dare to speak up?" Ning Shuyi asked, "There are only two of us here now. The content of the communication between us has not been disclosed. No matter whether it is right or wrong, we will not leak it to others. I know you told us."

"That's not what I'm worried about." Sun Man felt a little embarrassed when she heard what she said so sincerely, and quickly explained, "I'm mainly talking to you policemen, so it can't be well-founded!

It’s really true from my side, there’s no evidence! These are all things I saw or observed. Whether they are true or false... I have no way to prove!

I'm afraid that after saying this, I will cause trouble to you. That would be so bad! "

"It doesn't matter. Just tell us everything you can think of and what you are willing to tell us. We will judge and verify the authenticity on our own!" Ning Shuyi quickly encouraged her.

"Okay! If you say that, then I won't have any psychological burden!" Sun Man breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that she was more inclined to share her findings. She wanted to say that not being able to say it was also a torture for her.

She glanced at Huo Yan again, or to be more precise, at the door behind Huo Yan, and then she said, "I'm not sure if I'm mistaken, but I know that the landlord used to be there between us at night. Individuals, especially Tong Chujun, walked back and forth outside the door...

I could hear his voice in the room. He was walking back and forth in the living room, because the bed he slept on was next to the wall opposite my bed. I could hear the voice. It was not very close to my wall, but Right in the living room.

Isn’t that the only answer left?

It's just... Although I heard it more than once, but... I still get a little scared at critical moments, especially when I hear it at night.

I'm also afraid that if something is broken, he will become angry and harm Tong Chujun and me... That would be the end of the world!

So... I never dared to open the door and go out to see what was going on. I never dared to question the landlord face to face. "
