When the aunt's children came out of school, she hurried over to greet them and took the children away.
Lu Wuchuan saw Duan Mo standing there with worry, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"I'm wondering if I should also consider buying a house."
I had previously planned to buy my own house in Liancheng after graduation, but I have been busy lately, and Duan Mo has long forgotten about it.
Lu Wuchuan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Buy a house in the school district here? You think long term enough!"
"What? I'm not a preschooler. Why should I buy a house in a school district?" Duan Mo rolled his eyes at him, "Besides, you can't afford it even if you sell me!"
Lu Wuchuan raised his head and looked in the direction of the school gate. The children were running happily towards their parents and elders. The sight made his heart flutter. He who had never liked children suddenly felt a sense of longing.
He raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Are you planning to settle in Liancheng?"
"Actually, I have thought about buying a house once my job has stabilized. It doesn't have to be too big, and I can still have my own home."
The lower grade children had finished walking and there was some space on the road. The two of them took advantage of this moment to pass by the school gate and walk along the road to the temporary parking lot.
"Why don't you discuss with the landlord and buy the apartment you live in now?" Lu Wuchuan suggested.
It is more convenient to live in your own house. You can change the layout according to your own preferences without being restricted by the landlord, and you don't have to worry about moving when the lease expires.
He joined the Liancheng City Public Security Bureau and when he finally decided to stay here, he bought the house where he lives now.
The same goes for the apartment Yan Linfei lives in. Even though he may not be able to live there for long, he still bought it.
Therefore, he was more inclined to let Duan Mo buy a house instead of renting a house. However, the little girl had not had that idea before, so he did not mention it.
Duanmo glanced at him sideways and said, "I'm not as wealthy as you." The one-bedroom apartment she lives in now could buy a two-bedroom apartment without much money elsewhere.
"Judging from the current development of Liancheng, although the housing prices of Lianxiang Yayuan are slightly higher, there is still room for appreciation." Lu Wuchuan expressed his opinion, "And compared with surrounding areas, the room for appreciation is higher."
Duanmo felt that he was not talking casually, so he said: "I thought you bought it because it was close to your work, but it turns out you have done some research."
"There are some that are closer to the unit, but the living environment and quality of the houses are not as good as Lianxiang Yayuan." Lu Wuchuan said, "As for the house, the appreciation in value is certainly one reason, but the most important thing is that it is comfortable to live in."
"If we really want to talk about comfort, then the house in my hometown is more comfortable." Duanmo closed the collar of her cotton-padded coat, "I sit by the fireplace and read in the winter, and enjoy the cool air in the yard in the summer..."
"No matter how good you are, you can't move the whole house here." Lu Wuchuan quickly stopped her memories, fearing that the little girl would lose her mind and resign and go back to her hometown.
When the two arrived at the parking lot, the topic came to an end for the time being.
As soon as the car started, Lu Wuchuan's cell phone rang.
The call was from Lu Dongming. As soon as the call was connected, his eager and excited voice came out through the public broadcaster: "Boss, boss, guess who we just met?"
Through the signal, Duanmo could imagine his proud expression.
"Ding Wenyou." Lu Wuchuan said expressionlessly.
Lu Dongming groaned: "Boss, how do you know?"
"Is it difficult to guess?" Lu Wuchuan felt helpless.
The task was assigned by him. Lu Dongming and Jiang Muyang were responsible for contacting several relatives and friends of the deceased in order to get clues from them.
The two of them focused on finding Dong Xingyun's wife and Xiong Juan's ex-husband. The former had been questioned when the second team was handling this case, and basically everyone else had been questioned except Tongda Transportation Company.
Merely confirming the existence of this company will not make him so excited, unless he finds Ding Wenyou and gets valuable clues from him.
Being directly guessed the answer did not affect Lu Dongming's mood: "Boss, can't you cooperate with me?"
Lu Wuchuan didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore and got to the point: "Did he say that Tongda Transportation Company does exist and that Xiong Juan once worked there?"
Lu Dongming groaned again: "You also know this?"
"We're on the way, we'll talk back to the office later." Lu Wuchuan hung up the phone immediately after saying that.
He heard Yan Yishuai's voice on the phone, which meant that these people had returned to the office. Instead of saying this on the phone, it was better to go back and have a meeting directly.
Back at the city bureau, several people went to the cafeteria to have lunch, and then sat together to exchange and summarize the survey results of the past few days.
Lu Wuchuan first briefly introduced the situation of Tongda Transportation Company, and then said: "He Jun is the dispatcher, Dong Xingyun is the truck driver, and Wang Hongan has not been confirmed yet. As for Xiong Juan... you can tell."
Lu Dongming received the gaze directed at him, cleared his throat and said: "Xiong Juan works as an office worker. After her son went to kindergarten, she started looking for jobs everywhere. Didn't Ding Wenyou work at the township epidemic prevention station? He has connections with the villages and towns below.
They also included people from Yanghu Village. He heard about the recruitment of Tongda Transportation Company, so he said hello to them and introduced his wife there."
"Xiong Juan worked in a similar administrative job before giving birth. The company was not very formal and anyone could use it, so she became an in-house clerk. From the time the company was established, she was there all the way to the yellow shop."
"According to Ding Wenyou, He Jun and Dong Xingyun have been working at Tongda for a relatively long time. Xiong Juan often mentions them. He occasionally picks up Xiong Juan from get off work and has seen these two people."
Yan Yishuai suddenly interjected: "In the previous investigation of the neighbors, I didn't hear that there was any connection between them."
"Yeah, I thought it was strange too, so I asked Ding Wenyou specifically." Lu Dongming continued, "He said that Xiong Juan would visit He Jun's house during the holidays. After all, he was a leader and a relative of the village chief. The company was dissolved
After that, she went there, but stopped going after that. Originally, this was considered normal, as the tea would get cold as soon as people left."
"Ding Wenyou said that after they moved to Jinxiuyuan Community, they would sometimes meet He Jun and Dong Xingyun in the courtyard, especially since their house was next to Dong Xingyun's house, so the chance of meeting them was higher, but Xiong Juan and Dong Xingyun were more likely to meet each other.
They acted as if they didn't know each other and didn't even say hello. The same goes for those two people, who even went out of their way to avoid them."
"Ding Wenyou also felt strange, so he asked Xiong Juan what was going on. Xiong Juan said they no longer worked together and there was no need to interact with each other. She also said a lot of bad things about He Jun and Dong Xingyun, and asked him to ignore them."
