It can be seen that this "Xinyi Garden" has been around for some years, and it was considered a mid-to-high-end residence that only high-income people could afford at the beginning of the 21st century. Unfortunately, as the Yanxi Municipal Government began to promote the original After the basic development of tourism, the semi-European architectural style that combines Chinese and Western styles is considered to be nondescript aesthetics. Over time, developers are too lazy to spend more time on this land, which has led to the western district including Pinghu District becoming a well-known The "slums" in the city have extremely poor living environment and public security management, and no one is willing to gnaw on this hard bone, forming a vicious circle.

In the early years, homeless people in this area ganged up and did a lot of things like stealing, robbing and fighting for territory. At that time, surveillance was not popularized, and no one could be found when something happened, and even unnamed corpses were often found rotting in the corner. No one cared about it, and the frequent occurrence of vicious cases once caused the reputation of Yanxi City to drop. The higher-ups were dissatisfied with this, so they strictly ordered the West District to be rectified.

Renovating the smoky West District to its current appearance and narrowing the scope of frequent crimes to the Third Street has been the result of four years of joint rectification by various departments, which is enough to show how deep certain forces in the West District are. With the nourishment of the green water, it would be difficult for these weeds to grow to such an extent. If the West District is disturbed, it is equivalent to disturbing the jobs of some people. Various forces are intertwined, interdependent and restricting each other, which has formed the current situation.

Back when Jiang Xun first joined the City Bureau, he was full of enthusiasm and determined to rectify the evil forces in the West District within three months. It didn't take long for him to realize that his rookie wishful thinking was too idealistic and ugly. Said, it is called not knowing the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

The setbacks at that time are still fresh in his memory. After many years, he set foot on this land far away from the emperor. He still seems to be able to hear the heartbroken voice of himself when he was young. In Di Zhen's words, he is PTSD, trauma The stress response that will occur later can only be healed by time.

The plants and trees in the third street made him feel emotional. Jiang Xun was stunned for a long time, until Song Yuzhi stretched out his hand and shook it in front of him, and then realized that he had actually lost his mind while on duty, and rubbed his aching forehead. Strong spirit.

"Human, it's really not good to refuse to accept the old age. I'm getting old, and I really can't stand it all night."

Jiang Xun remembered that he was knocking on the guard room just now, and there was no movement for a long time, so he scraped a piece of thin ice mixed with mud on the door glass with his fingernails, and when he looked inside, he found that the room was full of messy sundries. There is no sign of anyone using it, and there is a large rusty lock on the door. Look at it, it must have been abandoned for more than a year or two, and it has long been occupied by someone privately as a warehouse.

"What are you doing, sneaky!"

Before the two had time to ask each other's opinion, an old but angry shout came from behind them. Looking back, a haggard old man was staring at the two with a urinal in his hand. The word "vigilance" has the meaning of fertilizing someone if he can't cope with his interrogation.

After all, Song Yuzhi was young and hadn't seen this kind of scene very much. Subconsciously, he took out his police officer's card to explain his purpose to the people. Jiang Xun hurriedly stopped him before he could make a move. With such a ruffian gesture, even the tone of his speech was somewhat casual.

"Hey, old man, do you live here?" When he spoke, he raised one foot and shook his leg. His behavior was no different from that of a street gangster who was not doing his job properly. No one could see that there was any policeman in him. His awe-inspiring righteousness.

Surprisingly, Jiang Xun's disrespectful and slightly obscene reaction actually made the old man let down his guard, squinting his eyes and looking up and down the two: "What's the matter, what are you doing?"

"Well, just a little bit, I want to inquire about someone."

"Inquire about people? What are you, you dare to come here and ask all kinds of things, I really give you a face..." Before he finished speaking, the old man suddenly stopped talking.

Song Yu only saw the other party's sudden embarrassed expression, and he licked his lips guiltyly, thinking that Jiang Xun had finally revealed his identity. Holding two hundred-yuan bills in his hand, he dangled them in front of the old man, as if he was fishing, which made the old man stunned. His head was like a rattle, following Jiang Xun's movements, he swayed from side to side following the red grandpa Mao.

"Come to ask someone, I don't know if your old guy can do things, if not, I will find someone else, time is very precious, don't delay each other."

Seeing the wide-eyed old man, he immediately put on a flattering smile, drooling, and nodded again and again, which was quite different from the squinting look on his face just now, "Don't worry, brother, I'm old, no one in this area compares to me." I am more familiar with the weather forecast from 40 years ago to tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so if you want to know anything, just ask!"

Seeing the old man stretching out his hand to beg for money, Jiang Xun was not stingy, he put two banknotes in the old man's open palm, finally let go of Song Yuzhi, took out a cigarette and bit it in his mouth, put his hands in his trouser pockets, The legs shook alternately.

"Ask for a woman named Lan Shan. I heard that she lives here. Have you heard of it?"

When he mentioned "Lan Shan", the old man's face changed obviously, and he stuffed the money into his arms tightly, presumably trying to get away.

Just before he pulled his legs, another two red banknotes flashed past his eyes. The old man who was seduced by the money stood upright on the spot, put the urinal on the side of the road, and rubbed his hands at a loss, looking like he was greedy for ginger. He didn't dare to reveal the real situation lightly.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Jiang Xun and Song Yuzhi already understood in their hearts—it seemed that they had found the right place.

"This... you, you, you, find her to do it..."

Before the old man could finish asking, Jiang Xun took out another 200 yuan and clapped it in his hand, which was obviously meant to increase the old man's answer.

"This... I'm a decent person, I have to ask the original..."

Then Jiang Xun added an additional 200 yuan, such a huge sum of money that fell from the sky was enough to make the old man dumbfounded, and at the same time created the mentality that gamblers often have, thinking that as long as they keep silent, the next bounty will be more and more. Jiang Xun also took advantage of his mentality, stopped under the old man's direct gaze, and stuffed all the money back into his pocket.

"It's fine if you don't talk about it. You are a decent person, but I am not. I have no time to chat with you. If you don't want to make money, there are naturally people who want to make money."

Said, Jiang Xun leaned on Song Yuzhi again, raised his chin, and the latter rolled his eyes calmly. In order to cooperate with him in performing this monkey scene well, he had to indulge his bad habits, and pulled out a lighter to help him Light a cigarette.

When he took out the expensive lighter, he showed his wealth. Anyone who is so generous in his hand would think that as long as he took out something shiny and shiny, he must be a good guy with real money. The old man was also moved. Heartbroken, he gritted his teeth and said, "That woman Lan Shan lives in the basement of Building 1."

Song Yuzhi learned Jiang Xun's acting skills to a good degree: "Oh? Building No. 1, but I heard it is Building A."

"Hey, what about ABC? How can there be so much attention to it? When this building was built, few people could read foreign letters. It was Building No. 1."

"You know exactly where she lives, so you seem to know her very well."

"That's right, that house is mine, and she is my tenant. If I don't know her well, what if she orders the house for me one day?"

Unexpectedly, they found the real master. Song Yuzhi and Jiang Xun looked at each other, knowing the smile hidden in the other's eyes tacitly.

——Looks like the investigation went smoother than they thought.

The old man hunched over, walked in front with his hands behind his back, and led the two of them into the narrow aisle. Along the way, he pushed away a lot of rubbish and sundries lying in the middle of the road for his "gold master". The information about the deceased "Lan Shan" was roughly obtained in the dirty words.

"That woman doesn't stay at home all day long, she only thinks about making money and getting a man, so she leaves a girl at home, and occasionally she comes back and beats and scolds, and the noise lasts until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night, so noisy that people can't sleep No, if it wasn't for the poor girl, I would have kicked her out a long time ago..."

Jiang Xun's ears automatically filtered all kinds of unsavory insults mixed in the old man's words, and realized that the old man was dissatisfied with the deceased. If it was not feasible, maybe this person in front of him could be considered a potential suspect one.

"What do you mean by girl?" Song Yuzhi asked.

The old man replied without hesitation: "That woman has a daughter who just entered junior high school last year and her academic performance is very good. Before that, there were certificates of merit posted on the wall at home. Once the woman came back after drinking and went crazy with wine." , All were torn up, the girl cried so hard that day, it made people worry... That bitch is really not a thing, it's fine if the baby she gave birth to is not well-raised, but she can be so cruel to this extent, really ... If she dies one day, it will be purely God's retribution, and she will die on her own!"

It can be heard that the old man's words are also unintentional, and he is usually used to swearing, so he speaks out in front of outsiders.

However, he hadn't figured out the purpose of the two "golden masters" looking for someone, and realized that he had slipped his words, covered his mouth and looked back quietly, meeting Jiang Xun's ruffian eyes, and quickly paid another With a smile on his face, he raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, welcoming the two of them out of the narrow alley, and almost bent over and bowed ninety degrees to show their sincerity.

"So, why did you come to find her..."

Song Yu replied without thinking, "I was deceived."

Almost at the same time, Jiang Xun responded casually without any tacit understanding: "I was cheated of money."

The two looked at each other, both a little embarrassed.

Jiang Fudetachment, who has experienced many battles, met the old man's suspicious gaze without changing his face, and told the lie without blushing: "She lied to my brother's feelings and my money, harming two people at once. Shouldn't an aspiring young man at the right age settle accounts with her?"

When the sensitive word "money" was mentioned, the old man hurriedly covered the money pocket, as if he was afraid that they would repent and take the money back.

Jiang Xun, however, looked disgusted, spit out the cigarette butt in his mouth, and by the way, put his foot on it, raised his leg against the dilapidated door of the building that might collapse at any time, blocking the old man's way, and still spoke in a gruff voice.

"So old man, tell me, my good brother who is hurt by love and never forgets, what is going on with her daughter?"
