Chapter 43 IOU 06 Past Events

Facing the menacing players, the woman put away the oil-paper umbrella and put on a forced smile: "Please gentlemen and ladies come to the door, but I really can't afford so much money."

Lao Gao was still very bluffing when he wasn't smiling, and when he stood at the door with a straight face, he had the air of a big brother asking for money.

"It's not been a year or two since Dongshun borrowed the money. We really had no choice but to come to our door. Please be considerate of us." After Lao Gao finished speaking softly, his tone changed: "It's only natural to borrow and repay money. It is difficult to make money, and it is not easy for anyone.”

The woman knew she was wrong, and blocked the door in silence.

Geng Zhen said, "Let's go in and sit down first, it's still raining outside."

The woman was reluctant: "Dongshun hasn't had time to be buried yet..."

"It's just right." Lao Gao didn't give her a chance to find other reasons, "We, Dongshun, got to know each other anyway, let's take this opportunity to see him for the last time."

The woman frowned and hesitated, Geng Zhen said: "If you want to avoid suspicion, just leave the door open."

"Okay." The woman pinned the broken hair behind her ears, inadvertently revealing the old scars hidden under her hair, "Wait a minute, there is no one to take care of the house these days, I will go in and tidy up. "

A few people waited outside the door under the eaves, Geng Zhen watched the back of the woman rushing into the house, and when he looked down, the little panda Corgi who had just disappeared ran out of the door together.

Corgi ran up to Geng Zhen, then turned his head to see if Ning Wang had followed.

Everyone else was standing here, and it was inconvenient for Geng Zhen to move too much, so he didn't respond.

Ning Wang noticed the dust on Geng Zhen's back, restrained his strength, and reached out to wipe away the white trace.

Geng Zhen didn't show it at all, in fact, he had already guessed about the "invisible man" who had been appearing around him all the time.

After a while, the woman led several people into the bedroom where Liu Dongshun's body was stored.

"I originally planned to bury him today, but unfortunately it has been raining, so I put him here first."

Geng Zhen suddenly asked: "Do you usually live in this bedroom?"

The woman was taken aback, her expression changed slightly, "I usually live in the west bedroom with my two children."

While the woman wasn't paying attention, Geng Zhen wandered to the west bedroom, stood in front of the door and looked inside.

Compared with the bedroom just now, this room for one adult and two children is really too small.

There is a double bed in the room, and it is almost impossible to turn around, because the toilet is in front of it, and when it rains, a strong smell will float into the room, because there are no windows, and the stale air inside is almost stagnant.

Several other people came out of the bedroom, and Lao Gao almost vomited.

When the woman closed the door, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a strange smile appeared on her face: "The man has finally left."

The few people standing next to her instantly had goosebumps all over their bodies.

The woman insisted that she had no money, and told the player that she could ask Liu Dongshun's parents.

"I really don't have any money in my hand. I usually use what I earn from working to pay for the school fees of my two children."

"Why don't you ask my in-laws, Dongshun often sends money to them, and there may still be some savings left in his hand."

Leaving Dongshun's house, Lao Gao always felt that he had been in the house of the dead for a long time, and his body still smelled of dead bodies.

He took off his clothes twice, and the back of his neck felt cold: "Why do I think she looks happy."

Qin Ni nodded in horror: "Me too!"

Geng Zhen stood at the door for a while, and said to the others: "Go back to the inn first. If you meet Liu Dongshun's parents, talk about it. I'll go somewhere and go back soon."

"Xiaozhen, let me go with you." Yan Shuyi worried.

"No need." Geng Zhen also wanted to catch the two furry kids running around to avoid getting dirty in front of him. It would be inconvenient to have other people around. "There is no danger where I go, and I will go back soon."

When the people left, Geng Zhen glanced at Liu Dongshun's house behind him, hugged the little panda and Corgi into his arms, turned around and went to the door next door and knocked twice.

The neighbor quickly responded, and when he saw Geng Zhen, he wondered, "Why is it you again, and no one was found?"

"I found it." Geng Zhen thanked the neighbor warmly, and after boasting that his neighbor was comfortable, he asked: "We went in to see Dongshun just now, and found that Dongshun seemed to have scars on his body. I was a little worried, just like asking you Dongshun and The situation of the family."

"Is there an injury on his body?" The neighbor asserted: "It must have nothing to do with his family members. His father and his mother hold him as a treasure all day long, and his daughter-in-law is also a clay figurine. I don’t dare to say it, but if you say the other way around, his daughter-in-law is injured.”

Geng Zhen pretended to be surprised: "Dongshun will beat his wife?"

"Before, I could hear him doing it every day!" The neighbor was also shocked when he said, "He went to drink every day, and when he came home drunk, he liked to do it to his wife. I heard him in the yard that afternoon when he fell into the water. Scolding his wife."

"His wife is also pitiful. Six years ago, when the old grandson picked her up from the entrance of the town, she was injured all over her body. After marrying into Liu's family, her life became even more difficult." The neighbor sighed as he said.

"Old Sun? Is he the owner of the inn?" Geng Zhen asked.

"Yeah, his surname is Sun in the town, and he also came here to live when he was young." Looking back on the past, the neighbor said uncertainly: "I remember he was still a young man when he came, with a baby in his arms. The baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, unfortunately, did not survive, and Lao Sun never married again after that."

Geng Zhen pondered.

Judging from the clues he got so far, Liu Dongshun's death did not seem to be a simple accident.

The neighbor opened the chatter box and told more stories about the past: "It's strange to say that the life of Dongshun's wife was obviously picked up by the old grandson, but after this girl married into the Liu family, she never went back to the inn. On the wedding day, the old grandson didn't show his face, but he wrapped a big red envelope instead."

"But the money probably all went into Dongshun's hands." The neighbor sighed.

Leaving the alley, Geng Zhen walked onto the old arch bridge, and the rain suddenly intensified.

The oil-paper umbrella was overturned by a gust of wind and fell onto the river under the bridge.

Geng Zhen looked at the oil-paper umbrella drifting away with the waves, and wiped away the rain that had covered his face.

The wet little panda and Corgi blinked and nestled in his arms obediently.

Geng Zhen ran back to the inn against the pouring rain. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the clerk Xiaowen squatting at the door with an irritable face, looking into the inn lobby from time to time.

And Liu Dongshun's parents are sitting in the lobby of the inn, rolling around in front of everyone, cursing and cursing can be vaguely heard at the street.

Geng Zhen patted Xiaowen on the shoulder: "Why don't you go in, it's raining outside now?"

Xiaowen said annoyedly: "Two unreasonable savages have come, and I really can't stay in the room any longer."

"Your boss is also inside?" Geng Zhen glanced inside, but he didn't see the old grandson who always loses energy.

"My uncle is in his room." Xiaowen poked and drew on the concrete floor with a branch dipped in water, "The two inside have been asking for money since Liu Dongshun fell into the water and died."

The branch was pushed against the ground and folded in half. Xiaowen patted the ashes on his palms, got up and went to check the situation in the house.

"Falling into the water has nothing to do with us." Xiaowen spat angrily, "Just like Liu Dongshun who was drunk and dreaming of death all day long, it's almost dead if he fell into the water by accident."

Geng Zhen thought of the past entanglements he had heard from his neighbors, and asked Xiao Wen: "I heard you call the boss uncle, have you been working here for a long time?"

Xiaowen was stunned, and he snapped his fingers to calculate: "It's been almost six years. My uncle is very kind to me. Usually, the business in the inn is not much, so it's easy to be a clerk."

Geng Zhen nodded, and said slowly: "I heard people say that Liu Dongshun often hit his wife when he was drunk."

Geng Zhen stared at Xiaowen's face, and keenly noticed that his expression changed for a moment after hearing this sentence.

Xiaowen reasoned in a muffled voice: "His wife is also a poor person. She has no relatives in this town for no reason. When she meets such an in-law's family, there is no one who can give her a head start."

After he finished speaking, he cursed at the two crying old men in the house.

Geng Zhen heard him yelling in a low voice, "Two old things, the son they raised is also a wolf-hearted dog."
