Xu Lang was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking a cup of green tea. A fat woman wearing pink pajamas sat opposite him.
Just now, Xu Lang explained to the woman upstairs, and finally proved that he was indeed a policeman, and the woman believed Xu Lang's words. Xu Lang felt that the woman might know something, so he asked for questioning, and the woman
After confirming that Xu Lang was a police officer, he agreed without much thought.
The woman's name is Ma Chunmei. She is thirty-five years old. Her husband works as a leader in a private company, and she is a full-time housewife. Ma Chunmei has a son who is in junior high school. Because of the two-child policy, she now has another son who is just one month old.
How long is your daughter?
According to Ma Chunmei, she and her husband have been together since college. After graduation, they went to work in different units because they were each other's first love and had a good relationship. Their parents also knew about their affairs.
, so, not long after graduation, the two got married under the arrangement of their families.
Shortly after the marriage, Ma Chunmei became pregnant. Originally, she did not plan to have the child. After all, they were still young and life had just begun. However, her family did not agree to abort the child, and abortion was very harmful to women.
In the end, Ma Chunmei resigned and raised her baby at home, and finally gave birth to a son.
It took the woman nearly three years from pregnancy to giving birth to recovering. During these three years, she did not go to work. She mainly took care of the children. When the children grew up, she wanted to go out to work.
, but her husband was unwilling, so she became a housewife, and her daily job was to take care of the children and do housework.
Her current house was bought by her and her husband with the help of her family when they got married. The house price was still very expensive at that time, but looking at it now, it was still a good deal when they bought it. They have already
Have lived here for more than ten years.
Ma Chunmei gave birth to her daughter more than a month ago. At that time, she had been living in the hospital, so she didn’t know much about things at home. However, her husband said that since a month ago, there has been a ding from upstairs.
The ding-dong-dong sound was annoying. She also asked what was going on, but her husband might be worried that she would think about all sorts of messy things after giving birth, so he didn't say much.
After recuperating in the hospital for a while, Ma Chunmei wanted to come back, but her husband didn't agree and asked her to go to her parents' house to rest. Ma Chunmei agreed without thinking too much. A few days ago, her husband went to her parents' house to pick them up.
When they came back, Ma Chunmei found out that something had happened to the family who lived above them.
When Ma Chunmei came back, she saw police officers frequently coming in and out of the building. She felt strange at the time.
After all, she is a housewife and does not have to go to work. She is familiar with the neighbors. Therefore, she often takes her children to wander around the community and starts chatting with other residents. It is also through chatting that she knows the person who lives in Room 604.
His name was Qin Fen, and he died unexpectedly in Lushui Park, not far from Lushui Community. These neighbors had been found by the police before and interviewed. As for Ma Chunmei, she was recuperating at her parents' home, so when the police first visited
, she is not at home.
Others and the police thought that Qin Fen's death was accidental, but Ma Chunmei didn't think so. She felt that Qin Fen's death was probably murdered.
"Why are you so sure that Qin Fen was murdered rather than died accidentally?" Xu Lang asked.
Indeed, Xu Lang was very curious about this issue. From the beginning of the investigation of Qin Fen's death to now, almost everyone believed that Qin Fen's death was accidental. If the police had not discovered the message Sun Wenyao left on the wall in Room 604, the police also felt that this was possible.
It was just a simple accident that was easily dealt with, and Ma Chunmei's firm answer really made Xu Lang curious.
"Although I am not familiar with Qin Fen and have not had much dealings with him, we have known each other after living here for more than ten years. He is actually not as slovenly as you see." Ma Chunmei said.
"Why?" Xu Lang frowned and asked.
"Here's the thing..."
Next, Ma Chunmei told Xu Lang several things related to Qin Fen.
When Ma Chunmei and the others first moved here, because she was pregnant and could not go to work, she could only stay at home every day, and at most she would be active around the community. Women are always very sensitive and suspicious when they are pregnant, especially those
At that time, she was still very young, and her husband had just started working at that time. He was very busy every day and came home very late. This made Ma Chunmei very insecure and often wondered whether her husband was cheating on her.
of.
Although Ma Chunmei knew that her husband loved her very much and his family was very kind to her, so she should not doubt her husband, she still couldn't help but think too much.
Once, she had been suspicious for more than seven months, and her husband had to go on a business trip temporarily due to work. It happened that there was no daily necessities at home, so she had to go to the supermarket to buy these things with a big belly. There were not many things, but for
For a pregnant woman, it's quite troublesome.
Just when she finished shopping and was thinking about how to take these things home, Qin Fen also happened to appear in the supermarket. He came to the supermarket to buy cigarettes.
Ma Chunmei clearly remembers that he
When we first met, Qin Fen was wearing a very clean white shirt and blue jeans. His hair was meticulously combed and sprayed with hairspray. Qin Fen's skin was very white and his beard was clean shaven.
Despite being a little fat, he still looks very energetic and clean.
Perhaps because it was inconvenient to see Ma Chunmei with a big belly, he took the initiative to help Ma Chunmei send these things home.
I don't know whether it was because of shyness or introversion, but Qin Fen didn't say anything to Ma Chunmei throughout the whole process. After he helped send the things home, he refused Ma Chunmei's warm invitation.
Ma Chunmei didn't have many opportunities to interact with Qin Fen. They met occasionally, and she saw them when she was walking around the community. When the two met, they just nodded most of the time and rarely spoke. At first, Ma Chunmei didn't know Qin Fen.
What is his name and what he does for a living? I just know that he lives upstairs.
According to Ma Chunmei, Qin Fen at that time was a very clean and tidy person, not at all as sloppy as people say now.
The reason why Qin Fen became so sloppy started five years ago.
At that time, Ma Chunmei's child was in the second grade. She didn't do much every day, which was to get up in the morning, prepare breakfast for her child, send her child to school, then buy groceries, go home to cook, and pick her child up for dinner at noon.
In the afternoon, I send my children to school, and in the evening, I pick them up and go home, buy groceries and cook, wait for my husband to come home, and have dinner together. Life is simple and monotonous.
At first, Ma Chunmei didn't notice anything wrong with Qin Fen, but she hadn't seen Qin Fen for a long time.
One morning, Ma Chunmei was doing housework at home when she suddenly heard a quarrel coming from upstairs. She thought it was the couple living upstairs who were quarreling again, so she didn't think much about it.
It was just a quarrel at first, but later it turned into a fight, and the sound came from Room 604 upstairs. The fight was very fierce. According to the sound of their argument, it seemed that Qin Fen was arguing with a child. In the end
Whether it was a child or an adult with a baby voice, she didn't know.
Because Qin Fen had helped her before, and there were people living upstairs and downstairs, she was worried about something going wrong, so she planned to go upstairs to have a look. As a result, when she left the door, she walked up the stairs from the fifth floor to the sixth floor.
When I arrived, I found a half-year-old boy carrying a schoolbag rushing out of Room 604 with a bruised nose and a swollen face.
After the boy rushed out, he went straight to the elevator. When he entered the elevator, the boy saw Ma Chunmei, but he left without saying anything. Ma Chunmei also came to the door of Room 604. She was just about to ask what was going on.
However, Qin Fen slammed the door shut without any intention of explaining.
Just when Ma Chunmei was about to leave, she heard the sound of banging things coming from the room. She knocked on the door and wanted to ask about the situation, but the other party ignored her at all, and she was rejected and didn't want to pay more attention.
Nothing to do, so I left.
Since then, Ma Chunmei rarely saw Qin Fen, and it became very quiet upstairs. She once thought that Qin Fen had moved after that, but she was at home every day and found no movement upstairs.
, but, after all, she and Qin Fen were not familiar with each other, and it was hard to ask, so she didn't think much about it.
Later, Ma Chunmei saw Qin Fen several times in the community. She found that Qin Fen had changed a lot. Not only was he unshaven and dirty, but he also had long hair, which made him look very decadent.
She once wanted to say hello to Qin Fen and care about him, but Qin Fen turned a blind eye to her, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
Everyone is very busy and has no extra time to care about other people's affairs. What's more, although Ma Chunmei is a housewife, she still has a lot to do every day, especially since they have been married for so long.
Naturally, some problems arose, and she had no intention of caring about Qin Fen's affairs.
After Xu Lang listened to Ma Chunmei's story, he frowned. From Ma Chunmei's story, Xu Lang discovered several problems.
First, five years ago, that is, before 2012, Qin Fen was still a very normal person. In other words, Qin Fen was actually so slovenly from the beginning. If it was really like what Ma Chunmei said, why didn't Qin Youqi and the others?
Tell Xu Lang them this?
Second, five years ago, Ma Chunmei heard and saw Qin Fen quarreling or even fighting at home with a teenage boy. Since then, Qin Fen's personality has changed drastically. Qin Fen's sudden change must have
It’s related to this boy, so who is this boy? What happened between them?
Third, just now, when Xu Lang went to Room 604 again, he realized that the sloppy state in Room 604 could not have been formed in more than ten years, but only a few years. Now, Ma Chunmei's words prove this
, if that’s the case, why didn’t anyone mention this?
Thinking of the little boy Ma Chunmei mentioned, Xu Lang thought of something Zhang Yifa mentioned. Qin Fen's younger brother, Xiao Qin Fen, learned that he had an older brother when he was in the second grade of junior high school. At that time, Xiao Qin Fen
He should be only eleven or twelve years old. The time when Ma Chunmei saw the little boy was five years ago, which coincided with the time when Xiao Qin Fen knew about his brother's existence. So, could the little boy Ma Chunmei saw be Xiao Qin Fen?
Woolen cloth?
If this guess is true, the problem arises again.
First, how did little Qin Fen know about the existence of his elder brother Qin Fen?
second
,Why do Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina hide the fact that Qin Fen exists?
Third, what did Xiao Qin Fen know? He went to Room 604 to find Qin Fen. Why did the two of them quarrel or even fight?
Fourth, is Qin Fen’s sudden personality change related to little Qin Fen?
Fifth, Qin Fen’s sudden death and little Qin Fen’s sudden disappearance. What is the connection between the two?
This series of questions lingers in Xu Lang's mind. If he wants to solve these mysteries, he must find Xiao Qin Fen. However, the problem is that S City is so big. Xiao Qin Fen has not left S City, nor has he used anything with him.
Regarding the identity information, where is he now? How to find him?
Thinking of these problems, Xu Lang keenly discovered that Qin Fen's family had problems.
First, Qin Fen's sudden death due to his sudden and crazy exercise, then Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina's abnormal attitude, second, the sudden disappearance of little Qin Fen, and finally, Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina's suspected flight. All these things were told to Xu Lang
, Qin Fen and his family have a problem, but what is the problem?
Xu Lang thought for a long time, but still couldn't think of a reason, so he simply didn't think about it.
After coming back to his senses, Xu Lang looked at Ma Chunmei and asked, "How much do you know about Qin Fen?"
Ma Chunmei shook her head and said: "Actually, I don't know much about him. We are neighbors, living upstairs and downstairs. As time goes by, we will naturally get to know each other. To be honest, I really don't know much about him.
Not much, I'm still very curious about Qin Fen."
"Curious? What are you curious about?" Xu Lang asked casually.
"I have seen him since we moved here. He lives a very regular life every day, but he doesn't seem to have a job. Moreover, every time he appears, it is when no one is in the community. If I don't live every day,
When I stay at home, I don’t even know that there are people like him living in our community. You also know that Lushui Community is a high-end community. The people who live here all have a certain financial strength. People like him who don’t have
Working and not having any relatives or friends, it’s really quite curious.”
Hearing what Ma Chunmei said, Xu Lang nodded.
"Does Qin Fen have a girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend? You're not a police officer. You should know this better than me."
"I know, I just wanted to make sure."
Ma Chunmei thought for a while, shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem like that. Every time I see him, he is alone. I don't see a woman around him."
Xu Lang frowned again.
"Then do you know what relatives Qin Fen has?"
Ma Chunmei shook her head again and said, "Probably not. Anyway, I didn't see it."
Xu Lang nodded, understanding in his heart.
Next, Xu Lang asked Ma Chunmei some questions about Qin Fen, but Ma Chunmei didn't know much. In addition, the child woke up and cried in the room, so Xu Lang got up and left, and Ma Chunmei naturally didn't try to stay.
.
After walking out of Room 504, Xu Lang walked in the stairwell to the sixth floor. He kept thinking about the information he got from Ma Chunmei. He felt more and more that Qin Fen's matter might not be as simple as they had seen before.
After returning to the sixth floor, Xu Lang remembered the diary he had just found in Qin Fen's bedroom. Thinking of the contents recorded in the diary, Xu Lang seemed to have caught something. However, at that time, he only read a few pages and was
Ma Chunmei's knock on the door was interrupted, and she was still unsure of something.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang had already arrived at the door of Room 604. He was about to take out the key and open the door of Room 604. Then, he keenly discovered that the door of Room 604 was open and not locked. This made Xu Lang
He immediately frowned. He remembered that when he left with Ma Chunmei, Xu Lang locked the door. After all, the on-site investigation here was completed and there were no police officers to guard it. Therefore, for the sake of caution, Xu Lang locked the door.
Door.
"Crunch..."
After realizing that something was wrong in the room, Xu Lang immediately pulled out the pistol from his waist, pulled the sleeve, loaded the bullet, then reached out and gently pushed the door open.
The door opened, and the room was exactly the same as when Xu Lang left. There was no change. Xu Lang raised his pistol and cautiously entered the room. He first scanned the living room and found no suspicious people or objects, then he came to the dining room.
, there is still nothing suspicious.
Just when Xu Lang was wondering if he had remembered it wrong, he suddenly remembered the diary he kept in the bedroom, so Xu Lang quickly rushed into the bedroom.
The light in the bedroom was still on, just as it was when Xu Lang left, but the diary originally placed on the bed frame was missing.
Xu Lang's pupils shrank violently. It was obvious that someone had entered the room while Xu Lang was talking to Ma Chunmei in Room 504 and took away these diaries.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang looked around the room with his pistol and looked through the remaining rooms. He still didn't find anyone suspicious. Xu Lang immediately realized that something was wrong, so he rushed out of Room 604.
Run towards the elevator.
Soon, Xu Lang took the elevator to the first floor and ran straight to the security room. He wanted to check the surveillance to see who had entered Room 604 just now and took away the diaries.
