Lu Sheng looked at the old city that appeared in front of him. It was indeed worthy of the word "老" in its name. Lu Sheng also wanted to add an old character, and of course a broken character.
The architectural style of the 1970s and 1980s, the walls have aged badly, and the outlines of the red bricks are clearly visible. If a strong wind blows by, it may be able to blow away the cement and sand used to build these bricks, and maybe even
A small sandstorm rolled up.
There is no so-called division of areas between communities. Many low three- and four-story buildings together constitute this dilapidated old city. After passing through an arched gate, you enter this area. The locals use this gate to
It's called the "community" gate.
Yan Ju followed the positioning information sent by Meng Kenan and walked around here. From time to time, he asked Lu Sheng to look at the map and direct the direction of travel.
Lu Sheng was still looking at the map intently, but just after passing the gate, Lu Sheng's old memories were brought back again, or it could be said that it was a dream scene.
"At this gate, Xiao Wu and I asked about the tall and thin people who were charging in the parking lot."
Lu Sheng was thinking about it. The thin man in front of him was running towards the gate. Lu Sheng thought that he had been dazzled by what he saw. But when he looked carefully, he really was a thin man, followed by a tall man. Lu Sheng looked at the direction in which they were running. The two of them
I'm chasing a bus that leaves every half hour.
"Both of these two people really live here. If what I just recalled didn't happen, how could I know that they two live here?
If my strange thoughts are not projections of facts in reality, how could a Xiao Zhu who looks exactly like Xiao Wu appear in front of me? What are my unexplainable feelings?"
"Lu Sheng? Lu Sheng?" Yan Ju called Lu Sheng, and Lu Sheng responded hurriedly.
"I heard…"
"Did you hear that? Why don't you tell me how to get there?"
"Don't leave a place like this, get out of the car and leave."
Yan Ju listened to Lu Sheng's suggestion, parked the car, and the others got out of the car and continued walking forward. They didn't go far when they saw Zheng Meng Kenan standing in the distance, facing them.
"Let's go, it's the building in front of us." Meng Kenan pointed to the building in front of him, preparing to lead everyone there.
At this moment, Xiao Zhu also drove over according to the location Meng Kenan sent.
As soon as he saw Lin Xi's car, Yan Ju glanced at Lu Sheng. Lu Sheng knew what the master meant and walked to the side and whispered to her, "It's okay to take Lin Xi with you. After all, she is also a policeman."
Yan Ju didn't say anything and watched Xiao Zhu walking over, so everyone, led by Meng Kenan, walked to the door of the fat uncle's house. Xiao Zhu and Meng Kenan stood in the front, and Lu Sheng stood at the end.
"When... when... when..."
Xiao Zhu knocked on the door gently, and after a while, the fat uncle came over and opened the door.
The fat man is over seventy years old. His rickety body makes him much shorter, and he is not as fat as he was ten years ago. He is kind and seems to be in good spirits.
"Uncle, it was me who called you." Meng Kenan stood next to Xiao Zhu and said to him.
The fat uncle looked at the people at the door. He heard Meng Kenan's voice and knew it was him who contacted him.
He looked at the familiar Yan Ju again. Everything was the same as before. The only difference was that Yan Ju was now wearing a police uniform, and the years had left more imprints on that smiling face.
He turned his attention to Lin Xi again. The fat man always felt that this girl was very handsome, but extremely beautiful. She didn't look like a real person. She might be a star on TV, but she looked more like someone who was not living in a painting.
people who exist.
Then he looked at Xiao Zhu again. Xiao Zhu was standing among the crowd. The uncle guessed that he must be a policeman. But if he came with these people, he didn't look like a policeman. What kind of job did he do?
?The uncle thought for a while, yes, he seems to be more suitable to be a doctor.
Everyone at the door looked at the old man standing there, a little confused, but it was Yan Ju who spoke first, "Old man, it's been ten years and we meet again. Can we go in first and sit down for a while."
Only then did the fat uncle realize his rudeness and said quickly, "Come in quickly, haha, come in quickly."
Several people entered the house one after another. Lu Sheng was standing at the end of the group just now, so he who came in last turned around and closed the door.
Only now did the fat uncle realize that there was another person. The fat uncle looked at Lu Sheng's back and just kept staring. A strange feeling came to his heart.
After Lu Sheng closed the door, he turned around. He didn't see the fat uncle's face just now, but now the fat uncle was in front of him. The two looked at each other, and a strange feeling came to Lu Sheng.
heart.
Lu Sheng has experienced this feeling too many times, that is, familiarity, deja vu, and the psychological feeling that he has seen before. He is now a little numb. Because just now, at the gate of the old city, this kind of feeling
The feeling still disturbed his thoughts.
As soon as he saw Lu Sheng's face, the fat man's strange feeling disappeared. He came back to his senses and quickly said to everyone, "You're welcome, please sit down."
Five people suddenly poured into the small room. It didn't look like an investigation at all, but more like arresting someone.
Yan Ju also said to everyone, "Don't sit there and find a place to sit."
Lin Xi and Lu Sheng sat at the outermost corner, while Yan Ju sat down next to the fat uncle. Neither Meng Kenan nor Xiao Zhu sat down. Meng Kenan was looking around habitually, observing all the details of the witness's home.
Xiao Zhu smelled the smell in the room carefully, hoping to smell alcohol. But in fact, he didn't need to smell carefully, because some things were obvious.
Although the house was not big, it was kept very clean. There was little furniture in the house. A large bottle of liquor was conspicuously placed in the corner, and a portrait of the fat man's wife hung on the wall.
Yan Ju asked, "Old man, we are here this time to ask you some questions about the past."
"It must have been about the fire in the clothing factory ten years ago." As soon as the fat man finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.
"I'm older now, so I can just say whatever comes to mind."
The fat old man thought about it, but glanced at Lu Sheng in the distance, and then continued, "This Factory Director Zhao, I knew something would happen to him sooner or later."
"Why do you say that?" Seeing the fat uncle looking at him, Lu Sheng felt that he should take the initiative to respond to him.
"His mother really dotes on him. He has been doted on since he was a child. This kid has caused a lot of trouble."
Yan Ju continued what he said and asked, "Did he get into any trouble before the accident?"
"I don't know about this. It's just that before Factory Director Zhao's accident, he and his mother moved to the factory for a while."
"Live in a factory? Doesn't this happen often?"
"Yes, and since then, he has never seen him driving his favorite car, which cost more than eight million yuan."
The fat man continued, "I guess the car must have been totaled by him."
