Chapter 312 Ji Lingcheng's Past
Looking around, several houses were empty.

Feng Jingcheng couldn't help sighing.

"It's a waste of time."

I thought if there would be people living here, maybe I could find some clues from the past, but now it seems that the clues are no different from being broken.

Shi Wanyan raised his eyebrows, and wanted to go into the collapsed house, but he stopped him.

"Don't walk around, the collapsed house is unstable and dangerous."

She pursed her lips, "What if there are any clues in it?"

"If there was one, it was all burned down. The house was clearly burned to the ground."

Shi Wanyan looked at it, and it was indeed as he said.

The house is so ruined that there is probably nothing to be found.

"Then let's go back."

"and many more."

Feng Jingcheng suddenly pulled her to the alley next to the house and went to the back.

Sure enough, there was another family behind the house. An old lady was sitting in front of the door weaving and embroidering.

Feng Jingcheng and Shi Wanyan looked at each other.

She knew at once what was going on in his mind, so she nodded and went up to the old woman.

"Hello, old lady, I want to ask you about the family in front of me."

The old lady seemed to be hard of hearing, and looked at her blankly.

"What do you say?"

Shi Wanyan raised the volume of his voice, cooperating with gestures and gestures: "I want to inquire about that family."

After hearing this, the old lady showed a look of surprise.

"Are you from the Ji family?"

"No, we're just old friends."

The word "old friend" is very useful, especially when asking about people, it is generally very useful.

But the old lady seemed a little shrewd.

She looked Shi Wanyan and Feng Jingcheng up and down, and saw that the clothes they were wearing were carefully cut and sewn, and she knew they were not ordinary people.

"You lie, walk away, I won't tell you!"

The old man waved his hand to chase him away, leaving Shi Wanyan in a daze for several seconds.

She was very witty and immediately lied.

"Old lady, my husband knows Ji Xuemei. Ji Xuemei used to be his nanny. We are here to visit her!"

"People have been dead for so many years, why are you still visiting?"

The old lady continued to wave away people.

At this time, Shi Wanyan winked at Feng Jingcheng, and both of them showed shocked looks at the same time.

"Old lady, you said Ji Xuemei is dead? How is this possible?"

Feng Jingcheng's acting skills are solid.

He walked up to the old lady and continued to ask in a shocked tone: "I remember that she was young and in good health. How could she die at such a young age? Are you lying to me, old lady?"

When the old lady heard him say that she was lying, she snapped angrily, slapped the scissors in her hand on the stool, looked up at Feng Jingcheng and cursed angrily.

"What's there to lie about! I can still ask you for money! Ji Xuemei died of illness more than [-] years ago, this house was burned down by someone later, and everything is gone!"

Good guy.

The old lady finally succeeded in being tricked.

Feng Jingcheng continued to question.

"What disease does she have?"

"It is said that there was something growing in her mind, she always said that she could see things that others couldn't see, and talked to the air every day, and everyone hid away when they saw her."

What the old lady said made Shi Wanyan raise his eyebrows.

She remembered that on the information Feng Jingcheng found out, it was written that Ji Xuemei had brain cancer. According to the old lady's description, brain cancer patients did have these symptoms - hallucinations and insanity.

"You two are really her old friends?"

The old lady suddenly looked wary again, "Then you should know her son?"

Feng Jingcheng said without changing his expression: "We are very familiar with Ji Lingcheng."

Seeing that he could call out the child's name, the old lady was finally willing to believe it, so she restrained her vigilance and sighed.

"Their mother and son are really miserable. I have lived here in the slums for so many years, and I have never seen a family that is more miserable than those two mothers and sons."

Shi Wanyan seemed to smell some clue, so he continued to ask.

"Why do you say that? What happened to them?"

"Xuemei's husband is an alcoholic. He drinks heavily every day. Luckily, he likes to gamble. Every time he gets drunk and loses money, he goes home to beat Xuemei. I live here, and I hear her screaming every day. It sounds so real. Terrible..."

"Then what happened to her?"

"Then the kid...killed his father."

The old lady's tone was very flat.

It seemed to be describing very ordinary things, but the trace of fear in his eyes could not be concealed.

"I've never seen such a young child kill people. People die every day in the slums. The drunkard died, and everyone was not surprised. After all, he was beaten by creditors every day outside, but he didn't expect to die in the end. hand."

When Shi Wanyan heard this, he couldn't help but gasp.

Ji Lingcheng is indeed a ruthless character.

At a young age, he killed his father...

How was this deformed psychology brewed?

"What happened later? When did she get sick?"

Feng Jingcheng wanted to find more clues, so he continued to ask.

The old lady was interested, and she really didn't hold back.

"One year she went out, saying that she was going to work elsewhere, and she came back with her son after less than two years. After a while, she started to get sick, and she shouted at home every day, 'Don't hit me, Ah Xiang, don't hit me. I'."

"Who is Axiang?"

"I don't know, maybe she was bullied when she went out to work for others."

Shi Wanyan didn't notice that when Feng Jingcheng heard the name 'A Xiang', his expression was a little strange, so she continued to ask.

"Didn't she go to the hospital for treatment?"

"At first it seemed like I went, but later I needed an operation and had no money, so I didn't go. The child was only in his teens at the time, and he went out to pick up junk every day. After selling the money, he went to buy medicine and gave it to her. Some When he couldn't afford the medicine, he went to grab other people's things, and was beaten to death several times..."

When mentioning Ji Lingcheng's child, the old lady couldn't help but sigh.

"That child is really miserable. I remember one day, Xuemei mistook the child for the alcoholic, so she strangled her neck and said she was going to kill him. There was an argument between the two mothers and the child, and the child killed the mother in the end."

When Shi Wanyan heard this, she couldn't help covering her mouth with her hand, her eyes were full of horror.

Feng Jingcheng squinted his eyes, unable to tell what mood he was in.

The old lady said with a wry smile: "Does that sound scary? Before the child is full, he killed his parents. You two just said that you know him very well. I think you should be more careful..."

"He, hasn't he been punished by law?"

"I just said that people die every day in the slums, just drag them to the mass graves behind and bury them. No one will come here to investigate."

It can be said that the old lady is someone who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and she takes death very lightly.

It's as normal as talking about the weather.

Shi Wanyan and Feng Jingcheng finally said goodbye to the old lady and left.

When she left, she pondered over the clues she had just collected.

"I think that Axiang mentioned by the old lady just now may be the key point. What do you think?"
