Chapter 146 Buying a house(1/2)
This day is Laba.
Just as I opened the door in the morning, I could already smell the fragrance of Laba porridge cooked by my grandparents from my neighbors.
The air contains the sweet taste of raisins, red dates, longan and other foods, and the heavy fruit fragrance of lotus seeds, walnuts, chestnuts and other foods.
Bingbing stepped out of the door and actually licked her lips, "Meow——Shoot, what does this taste like? It seems that they are all cooking...I want to eat it."
"Don't cats eat meat? These are sweets and vegetarians."
"Meow? I don't care, don't care, you cook it for me."
Mr. K also shouted in the side room: "If you cook, I want it too."
A cat that eats meat and a creature that doesn’t need to eat at all... doesn’t count as a creature, but they actually want to drink Laba porridge?
"Wait, I'll do it." Su Jing said as he walked out the door.
After a while, he brought back a box of canned eight-treasure porridge, took out two bottles and opened the lid, and placed it on the table.
Mr. K glanced at him and said, "I won't eat this."
Bingbing jumped up and sniffed, "Meow? It's different from other people's homes! Why do other people's homes smell good? You have all the preservatives?"
Two difficult ancestors!
"If you like it, don't you eat it!" Su Jing went out angrily and wandered around.
There were a lot of people crowded at the entrance of the community and watching what they were looking at.
I went up and found a reward order. The suspect who said that the two students had appeared and printed a photo. However, the suspect in the photo could not see his face clearly. He could only see a kraft paper bag on his head, digging four holes in the mouth, eyes and nose respectively...
People around them naturally talked about it.
They have seen many rewards for pursuing suspects and repetitive offenders, but this is the first time they have seen someone with a kraft paper bag on their faces.
Su Jing could only shake his head. It seemed that he was really helping someone to take the blame. At the same time, he was secretly glad that the kraft paper bag appeared on the table in Liu Hui's canteen.
Crushing out of the crowd, I wanted to go around the road and go home, but I saw a few young people rushing into the crowd and also going to see the reward order. It was Yuan Xiaocan and her companions, as well as Lu Fei and Liu Hui.
What did they come here for? Did they find their own traces? Su Jing's heart tightened and stood by and stared at them.
After reading the reward order, the expressions of the six people were a little solemn, and the expressions of Lu Fei and Liu Hui were even more lingering sadness.
Yu Zhen’s whereabouts are unknown. Even if he is a traitor, he would not know that Yuan Xiaocan and the other two went to Chenghuang Town again yesterday, so the problem can only be caused by these two people.
Su Jing looked at Lu Fei and Liu Hui. Both of them looked the same with a sad expression.
Crushing out of the crowd, Yuan Xiaocan indeed took the other five people to the community.
They followed them early this morning and knew their residence. It was impossible. They were very careful. If they didn't find them like this, wouldn't they be vain?
Just as Su Jing was muttering in his heart, he saw Yuan Xiaocan turning a corner in front of the unit building in front, and he immediately understood that they were visiting Lin Meng and Jiang Zihan's family.
Since Lin Meng died and her mother suffered a stroke, the noodle shop in the Lin family has never been opened. Occasionally, when I heard chatting between neighbors, the couple on the noodle shop were ready to sell their house and go back to their hometown in the countryside to recuperate.
Su Jing followed Yuan Xiaocan all the way and unknowingly followed Lin Meng's doorstep.
The Lin family lives on the first floor of the unit and built a gate on the balcony. Yuan Xiaocan and others entered through the gate. Su Jing saw them in, stood for a while and turned around and wanted to leave and go home. But someone came from behind and said to him: "Brother, do you want to go in and sit?"
It was Lin Meng's uncle, the man who handed him cigarettes that day.
"I..." Su Jing didn't know how to explain that he was staring at someone else's door.
"Go in, I see you have been standing here for a long time. If you have anything to do, let's talk slowly. They are all neighbors in the community, the prices of houses and shops. These are all negotiable and will not be randomly offered." After saying that, without waiting for Su Jing to explain, he pushed him in.
Su Jing was amused and crying, and was pushed into Lin Meng's house by the man.
There is a small living room and three bedrooms. There is only a long sofa in the living room. There are four people sitting on it. It is already full. Scarface and Liu Hui held two other chairs and sat on the side.
Lin Meng's mother was sitting in a wheelchair, while Lin Meng's father was standing next to her. Now Su Jing and that man suddenly appeared, and the living room seemed a little crowded.
"Are these Mengmeng's classmates?" Lin Meng's uncle saw a bunch of young people in the room and asked Lin Meng's father.
Yuan Xiaocan replied quickly: "We are her friends. She met her when she was in the art interest class before. After hearing about her, we... come and take a look."
Lin Meng's uncle sighed a few times, exchanged some greetings with them, and said to Lin Meng's father: "This is a neighbor in the community, you must know each other."
Lin Meng's father looked at Su Jing and nodded and said, "Of course I know this. Isn't this a little brother selling rat poison in the old house in the back row? I've been to our house to eat noodles before."
After Su Jing entered the room, the six young men stared at him. He was nervous about whether he would be recognized by these loyal fans. When Lin's father said that this man was a rat poison, the six young men looked away with contempt.
"He came here to talk about the house and shop. In terms of price, we can sit down and talk about it slowly." Uncle Lin Meng said, and also found a single bench for Su Jing to sit down.
"Does uncle and aunt want to sell the house?" Yuan Xiaocan asked in surprise.
"There is no way. We used to buy a house here to make a home just to study in the city. Now so many things have happened at home... You have also seen it. We stayed and were sad and couldn't survive. It would be better to go back to the countryside. At least we have no shortage of food and drink, which is also good for her health."
Lin Meng's mother was tilted and Mu Mu sat down.
"I just saw the federal government posting a reward order at the entrance of the community, saying that I had found the murderer who killed Mengmeng." Uncle Lin Meng suddenly said.
Lin's father's body shook and he quickly held the wheelchair. Lin's mother's wooden face suddenly turned ferocious.
"Who did it? Who did it?" Lin's father's voice trembled.
Uncle Lin replied: "I didn't catch anyone, I only know that the suspect brought a headband made of a kraft paper bag and was dressed in black. Now the police are collecting rewards."
"One...must...you must, you must be arrested..." Lin's mother said in a daze, "Hate...hate!"
Su Jing looked at Lin's mother's twisted face and decided to burn the mask and clothes in the kraft paper bag when he got home later, so as to avoid being stabbed by a villain...
"Actually, that's just the police's guess? The real criminal is not necessarily the kraft man." Yuan Xiaocan said from the side.
Scarface and the three others were also busy coordinating, "Yes, now they are just suspects. Who is the real murderer? It's still time to wait for the police to find out."
Su Jing watched coldly, looking at Lu Fei and Liu Hui alone.
Lu Fei looked cold. After hearing Yuan Xiaocan’s defense for Su Jing, he sat next to him without saying a word.
Liu Hui was a little restless and looked anxious from time to time.
Uncle Lin and father Lin looked at Yuan Xiaocan in confusion, only Lin's mother was still muttering: "Hate... Kill..."
"Have you heard something? Or know something? For example, what happened to Mengmeng in those days?" Lin's father asked.
"No..." Yuan Xiaocan forced his explanation: "The authorities are confused. We can understand the feelings of the two uncles. You really want to avenge Mengmeng now, so the police posted a reward order, and you treat the kraft man as the murderer. But the above also said that it is just a suspect and needs to be arrested for interrogation. It is not necessarily the one he killed. Maybe there is some misunderstanding that makes the kraft man wronged?"
Seeing this little girl defending herself against suspicion, Su Jing was a little moved. Although he felt that she liked the person in the video made by Black Panther, who was a beautified idol and not his real self, but someone cares about caring and maintaining it is always good.
The expressions of Lin’s father and uncle Lin have changed from doubt to doubt.
"You are really Mengmeng's friends? When did you meet her? Who was the tutor when you were in the art interest class? Where was the teaching location?..." Lin's father threw out a lot of questions.
The original little silkworm suddenly became speechless.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
"The summer of the previous year, at the Red Fox Art Training Center on Huanghai Road, the tutor's surname was Chen. At that time, Teacher Chen had just become a mother and gave birth to a boy. One day, he pushed a cart and asked us to use her son as a model to draw." Lu Fei said calmly.
Could it be that Lu Fei really met Lin Meng in the art interest class?
Su Jing thought of what Yu Zhen said, Lu Fei was originally a rich second generation, but because of Lin Meng's persuasion, he decided to cut off relations with his family and join the Guardian Organization. But the Guardian Organization only appeared in recent months. So have Lu Fei and Lin Meng been in contact before the organization appeared?
He looked at Liu Hui again, and the other party was still restless and worried.
Lin's father was skeptical and did not ask again.
"Don't talk about these things anymore." Uncle Lin interrupted: "The more he talks, the more he feels sad. Let's talk about the house. Are you really going to buy it?" His last sentence was to Su Jing.
"Uh... let's see what the situation is. If you ask me to give the answer in one go, I'm in trouble... This is buying a house, not buying vegetables." Su Jing took advantage of the situation and got down to the donkey.
He didn't know why he was regarded as a neighbor who bought a house by Uncle Lin, but taking advantage of this misunderstanding to come in and see the movements between Lu Fei and Liu Hui, it seemed good.
Uncle Lin's face suddenly became cold.
"How much do you plan to sell this house?" Lu Fei asked suddenly.
"Uh... not much." Lin's father explained: "We just want to go back to the countryside early now, and... since the accident happened at home, people who have been gossiping have said something bad...ah."
Su Jing could imagine how the gossip of the neighbors judged the house after so many disasters occurred in this family.
"The haunted house, the feng shui is not good, it will hit evil..." and so on.
Lu Fei took over Lin’s father’s words and said, “If you sell, I will buy it, no matter how much.”
Everyone in the room looked at him with surprise.
Lu Fei still looked calm.
"Lu Fei, do you want to buy this house of Mengmeng's family? Why?" Liu Hui's eyes suddenly widened.
"Missing." Lu Fei replied briefly.
Liu Hui was speechless and stunned for a long time before whispering: "Why are you doing this? You and her...ah..."
It turns out that Lu Fei is still a person with a story, and this story is related to Lin Meng. If Lu Fei was the whistleblower, would his initial reason be because of love killing? Su Jing guessed randomly in his heart.
Father Lin and uncle Lin showed suspicion again.
"This kid, you're not kidding, right? How much does it cost, you can buy it?" Uncle Lin asked uncertainly.
Lu Fei nodded with certainty, "I'll buy it. All the handling fees and taxes you need to pay after selling the house will be responsible for."
"How can this work? How can you be so embarrassed?" Uncle Lin was both happy and surprised.
