deep sin

Chapter 310 Pile of Photos

"Semi-living old man?" Qin Ruonan was stunned for a moment, not understanding how he came up with this term.

"I watched the news on TV, didn't it say that there is no wife, and the children are not around. The old man who lives alone is called the old man who lives alone. My granddaughter and I live together, but the child is always busy. Most of the time, my old lady stays alone, so I don’t think I can be considered as an old man who lives alone, but at most I can be considered a semi-lonely person!” When the old lady was young, she probably had a more outgoing and cheerful personality. There is no opportunity for guests, and now An Changpu and Qin Ruonan are caught at the door, and they are very patient, as if they are people who can talk and chat, which makes the old man very happy and talk more.

It turns out that the so-called semi-living alone is a new term developed by the old lady based on her own actual situation. Qin Ruonan smiled, thinking that the old lady is quite lovable from the bottom of her heart, but at the same time couldn't help but secretly I hope she and An Changpu made a mistake, and the deceased was not Tang Lerong, otherwise this optimistic-looking old man might suffer a blow.

An Changpu put the cans on the coffee table, took out the notepad seriously, put on a posture of seriously inquiring about the records, and asked the old lady sternly: "Grandma Tang, how long is your birthday this year?"

"I'm not tall, I'm still young, I'm only 87 years old this year!" The old lady said cheerfully, grinning, tapped her front teeth lightly with her fingers, and said to the two young policemen, "See? , I haven’t lost a few teeth! I’m in good health!”

"The accent doesn't sound like a local, where is Grandma Tang's hometown?"

"Not far! Do you know Hongsong Town?" When asked about her hometown, the old lady looked very proud, "We have a lot of local products there! There are many kinds of mushrooms alone, and wild fruits are also very delicious. You guys Have you been there?"

Qin Ruonan shook her head, let alone going, she didn't even know where the Hongsong Town mentioned by the old man was, so she could only be sure that it was definitely not within the jurisdiction of City C or City B.

Although Anchangpu has never been to Hongsong Town, he has heard of that place. He used to have a classmate from the prefecture-level city where Hongsong Town belongs to. Sometimes he would bring some soil with him when he came back from school. The special products are distributed to everyone to eat and drink. Many things in it are said to be sold in the city from Hongsong Town, so he has heard about this town and knows that it is famous for its rich local products and its geographical location. remoteness.

"Then usually only you and your granddaughter Tang Lerong live in the house?" He just heard the old man call himself a semi-lonely old man, and said that the grandparent and grandson live together, but Tang Lerong doesn't come back often, it seems that apart from them Besides, there are no other relatives living in City C to take care of each other, "Then Tang Lerong's parents are working out of town or staying in their hometown?"

When asked this question, the old man’s joyful expression just now changed a bit, he seemed a little sad, but overall he was calm, sighed and said: “Yes, my son has stayed in his hometown, and he will stay in his hometown all his life. I can't go!"

Qin Ruonan looked at An Changpu suspiciously, but An Changpu didn't understand what the old man meant, and he didn't dare to ask questions, for fear that if his guess was wrong, he would offend the old man.

"You don't understand, do you?" Mrs. Tang saw the confusion of the two young people in front of her, and explained, "My son died, and he has been dead for many years. In the early years, the family had difficulties, and he was asked to treat him when he was sick. He was also reluctant to part with the illness, but it became more and more serious as it dragged on for a long time, and when he was forced by his family to go to the hospital, the doctor in the hospital said that after the period of time..."

"The best treatment period?" Qin Ruonan reminded the old man.

Mrs. Tang nodded: "Yes, yes, it is the best treatment period. It turned out that the cancer cells had spread to the whole body. There was no cure, and he died not long after. After my son died, my wife found him soon. My granddaughter, Xiao Rong, was still young at that time, and her mother couldn't take a bottle of oil with her, so she just Leave her to me. Anyway, I am a lonely old lady, and Xiaorong and Xiao Rong are two companions. That's not it, my granddaughter is sensible. After graduating from high school, she went out to look for a job. She has been here for more than a year and has established herself. The first thing to do is to pick me up from Hongsong Town and say that I will also come to the city to enjoy the blessings!"

It may be that the son passed away a long time ago. When the old man talked about these things, he didn't feel too much sadness. At first, he was a little sad. When he talked about his granddaughter, the slight sadness was also washed away, and only the cover-up was left. Unshakable pride.

"Then what does your granddaughter Tang Lerong do?" An Changpu continued to ask.

"I don't quite understand, anyway, I make a lot of money. I told you, don't make fun of my old lady who has never seen the world. At the beginning, I saw her go out beautifully every day. I didn't say that she went out early and returned late. Hard work, you can earn a lot of money every month. You also know that from ancient times to the present, if this girl is beautiful, it is easy to be accidentally led to that crooked way! Later, Xiaorong was asked by me Too much, I knew I was worried, so I told me that she was a model, wearing beautiful clothes to help people take pictures, and then making others think they look good, so she went to buy those clothes, oh yes, Xiaorong said she You can also make your hands white and tender, and then others will spend money to take pictures of her hands." Mrs. Tang said, shaking her head in confusion, obviously, in her cognition, it was difficult to understand why Someone will pay to take a photo of someone else's hands.

"Grandma Tang, those are called hand models. I heard they can make a lot of money." Qin Ruonan followed Mrs. Tang's words.

The old lady shook her head disapprovingly: "Those things are temporary, which woman can live forever, even if it is a rich lady in the old days, her fingers are not touched by the spring water, and she is old, and she still has the backs of her hands full of hair." Fold, you're no better than me!"

If it wasn't for the thought that this old man's granddaughter might be the victim of a murder case, Qin Ruonan would almost have been amused by this funny old lady.

"Grandma Tang, I'm a little curious about what you said, can you show us a picture of your granddaughter?" An Changpu asked tentatively.

I thought the old lady would think his request was too abrupt, but she agreed immediately, got up and took them to Tang Lerong's room, and said as she walked, "My granddaughter will be 23 years old during Chinese New Year, although she is not very old, but It has been many years since she came out to enter the society at the age of seventeen or eighteen. I can’t compare with other students who are still studying. If you are willing to help, if you have a suitable young man, I would also like to introduce it to my granddaughter! You are the police, and you must know the right person!"

It turned out that the old lady had such an idea in her heart, no wonder she agreed so happily.

Mrs. Tang still felt that it was not thorough enough, so she thought about it and added: "When you leave, each of you pick a photo and take it away. In case people don't know what my granddaughter looks like, you can show them that photo! Anyway Aren't you a piece of police? You always walk around the street, so do me a favor for this old lady!"

An Changpu didn't open his mouth to refuse, nor did he say yes, and Qin Ruonan did the same. The old lady took the attitude of the two of them as tacit consent, and happily led them to Tang Lerong's bedroom door, and opened the closed door. bedroom door.

It may be because no one lived in the room for a while, and the doors and windows of the room were closed. When the door was opened, there was a stagnant atmosphere of lack of air circulation in the room, and then An Changpu and the others were stunned by the picture in front of them. In this not-so-big bedroom, the walls are covered with various photos.

Those photos, some are black and white, some are colored, some are larger, some are smaller, some are close-ups of faces, the most striking thing in the whole photo is a pair of big black and white eyes, and some are distant views, people are so small that they are almost submerged in the scenery.

Even if it is a photography exhibition, it is impossible for so many photos to be crowded together and present such a high density. An Changpu and Qin Ruonan looked around, feeling dazzled.

Mrs. Tang was obviously used to the situation in her granddaughter's room for a long time. Seeing the two people stunned and looking at the photos on the walls all around, she said proudly: "My granddaughter, Xiao Rong, is so beautiful, and my young The times are exactly the same, she still loves beauty and loves to take pictures, and after taking so many pictures, the whole room is covered with stickers, but there is no place to put them, look, there is almost no place to put them!"

As she spoke, she pointed to a few sorting boxes stacked in the corner.

An Changpu went over to pick up the top packing box and took it to the small table beside him. The packing box was heavier than he expected. When he opened it, he found that it was full of photos.He casually opened another sorting box that was now at the top, and it was the same.

"So many photos!" His tone sounded surprised. If there are [-] points of surprise, I am afraid that only one point is artificially rendered, and the other nine points are real accidents.

He knew that Tang Lerong was a plane model, and according to the agency, she was a wide-faced and very popular plane model. It was understandable that there were more photos of such a girl, but there were too many to post. After filling the wall, the remaining photos still need several large sorting boxes to be piled up. Isn’t this too exaggerated?
Qin Ruonan flipped through the photos in the sorting box, and then looked at the ones on the wall, and found that although there were many promotional photos for online stores in these photos, most of them were obviously not this type of photos, but It is a work of art photography with different styles.

"Grandma Tang, who took these photos for your granddaughter?" She pretended to be nonchalant and asked the old lady.

The old lady shook her head: "I don't know that, I just know that she can get back a lot every now and then!"
