The day after I returned to Manjiang from my hometown, it was the day when Dong Yong's father was buried. Deng Fei called me and invited me to go with him.
Dong Yong’s father’s cemetery was chosen in the Chengxi Cemetery. There were more than 30 people who came to participate, except for their relatives and friends, they were all leaders and colleagues of the unit.
Deng Fei and I were standing at the back of the team. Through the crowd, we could see Dong Yong's lonely back.
Deng Fei has briefly told me about the murder case of Tan and his son. The result is similar to what I had guessed. The murderer was named Zhao Kai, a sculptor from Nanguo. He just resigned from Nanguo Art Center last month. The reason for killing Tan and his son was because he felt that he had been treated unfairly by Tan and his son.
The so-called unfair treatment is that Zhao Kai caused damage to the processed materials due to a work error. According to the regulations of the southern country, he needs to be compensated.
Of course, there must be a lot of details of the crime, but for confidentiality reasons, Deng Fei did not tell me in detail. However, in short, Zhao Kai assumed everything, and did not involve matters related to religion. According to the procedure, the case can be closed.
I whispered: "Team Deng, I'm right, this is just a normal murder. It has nothing to do with ghosts."
Deng Fei said, "But I still think the case is weird."
"Where is the strange?"
"Can't say it, but I always feel like I've been tricked."
"Even if you are tricked, you are tricked by someone, and it has nothing to do with ghosts."
Deng Fei smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe I am too sensitive."
After the ceremony was over, the people who participated in the burial began to leave. Only Dong Yong was left in front of the tomb. Deng Fei stepped forward and said hello, and then walked out of the cemetery with me.
Out of the entrance of the cemetery, a red Audi just drove over.
The red Audi is not only eye-catching, but I also know the owner.
It is the car of Mimei.
Mi Mei got off the car with a bunch of flowers and walked straight to the cemetery.
Deng Fei looked at her and said, "Since I drove a red car to the cemetery, I really don't know what I thought."
I smiled and said, "It's because of my personality." I walked a few steps and raised my hand to say hello to Mi Mei. When Mi Mei saw me, she was taken aback for a while, and then walked towards me.
Deng Fei asked in surprise: "Do you know each other?"
"understanding,
She is a masseur. I often go to her shop. "
From the perspective of age, appearance, dress, temperament, car, etc., Mimei said that she is a wealthy daughter, Xiaosan and the like must be believed, but it is always surprising to say that she is a masseur who relies on craftsmanship to eat.
So even though Deng Fei is an old detective who has read countless people, after hearing what I said, his face still showed a look of surprise, as if I was joking with him.
"Is there a business here today?" Mimei walked up to me and spoke first.
"No, come to a funeral. You are..."
"Memorialize a friend." Mimei said simply.
I introduced Deng Feihe to Mimei and said, "This is the captain of the Manjiang Interpol, Deng Fei."
Deng Fei took the initiative to say hello, Mimei just nodded her head symbolically and said, "Unexpectedly, you still have a police friend."
I smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you make friends, you only look at your temperament."
Mimei said: "Are you going to have something? If it's okay, wait for me, I have something to say."
"It's okay."
"Then you wait for me outside, I'll come out soon." After speaking, she turned and walked into the cemetery.
Deng Fei looked at Mimei’s background and said, "Is this woman not related to you in general?"
"I am her old customer and I often take care of her business."
Facing my far-fetched explanation, Deng Fei immediately smiled profoundly and said: "It's really that simple? She looks pretty good."
"I have a girlfriend."
Deng Fei laughed and said gossiping: "No need to explain. Since you have an appointment, then I will go first."
"can."
Deng Fei turned to leave, walked a few steps, then returned, and said, "Brother, although you didn't help with this case, I am very grateful to you. When I finish this time, I will definitely invite you to drink."
"Okay. I'll wait for your call."
After Deng Fei left, I waited for her to come out beside Mimei’s Audi car. About twenty minutes later, Dong Yong and his family also walked out of the cemetery. After seeing me, Dong Yong just nodded symbolically. Then he got in a car and left.
The time Mimei said for a while, let me wait for more than an hour. When she came out of the cemetery, my legs were a little numb.
Mimei's eyes were red, as if she had cried.
"Sorry for making you wait."
"It's okay, I'm an idler anyway."
Open the car door, I sat in the co-pilot, Mimei said: "I will take you to a place."
"Where?"
"A small courtyard. When I first came to Manjiang City, I lived there."
"Does this have anything to do with what you want to tell me?"
"Have."
"what is the relationship?"
Mimei started the car and said, "Wait, you'll know."
Mimei drove a red Audi car all the way to the city. When she was about to enter the city, she turned on the third ring road, and then followed the third ring road to a village called Gezhuang.
The villages are close to the third ring road, and the degree of development is similar to that of the urban-rural junction, and the surrounding areas of the village are surrounded by land to be developed and enclosed by walls. After stopping outside a two-story courtyard, Mimei took out the key and opened the door.
The door of the small courtyard is a black iron door with a lot of paint off it. When the door was pushed open, it made a harsh creaking sound.
The yard was full of weeds, and a layer of dust fell on the glass. It was obvious that no one lived in it for a long time.
Pushing open the door on the first floor, a long-lost breath came over her face, Mimei turned on the light in the room, and the layout of the entire room was immediately displayed clearly in front of her eyes.
This is a hall. The layout is very neat, and the items are arranged neatly. Looking at the dust on the tabletop, I asked: "How long has there been no people living here?"
"Two years and three months."
"When you came to Manjiang, you lived here?"
"Yeah. I lived with my boyfriend at the time, and then my boyfriend died and I moved out, but I have been renting this place."
"Is there any special meaning?"
"Remember."
I nodded subconsciously. Mimei loved her boyfriend so much. Her boyfriend died in this room. In order to cherish her deceased boyfriend, she kept renting it here, not for living, but just to keep a memory.
But what does this matter have to do with me? Why did she bring me here
Mimei went upstairs along the stairs. I followed her and asked, "How did your boyfriend die?"
"suicide."
"Why committing suicide?" I asked subconsciously.
Mimei pushed open a door, pointed a black cloth hanging on the wall, and said, "Because of the painting behind the cloth."
