On August 15, 2007, investigating lawyer Zhang Guang.
Grandma Guang and Shen Meizhen were colleagues. They had contact with each other during a gathering of colleagues in 2004. Zhang Guang got acquainted with Shen Meizhen during this period. Zhang Guang now works at Chengkang Law Firm, responsible for economic cases. No abnormalities were found.
On August 21, 2007, we investigated the burning of paper money on Wangjiaxiang Road in April and May. Audio file 04120070821.wav.
"...Oh, someone burned paper here before, and I don't know who it was. It was burned at night, and it didn't come from my door."
"Is there a lot of paper burning here?"
"Not many. I have been working as a gatekeeper here for five or six years, and I only remember once. That day I said a few words to the family who burned paper. There may be other people burning paper, but I usually don't go there. Very clear."
"thank you."
…
"... In the old community, some elderly people still maintain traditions. This is not superstitious, it is just a spiritual sustenance to remember the family members who have died. We have strict property management here, and there is absolutely no such thing in the community. It is when someone dies, holds a funeral, or celebrates a death anniversary. , I will also say hello to the cleaners in the community and ask them to clean up in time. Rest assured, this community is well managed."
"Isn't there anyone burning paper money at the intersection? We heard from people that some people are burning paper money there."
"That's outside the community, and we can't control it. But it's nothing. The management team knows the sanitation workers responsible for this road and will say hello to them."
"You don't know which family it is? It can't be in this building, right?"
"Hey, absolutely not. The neighbors here are all middle-aged people, and the children are very old, so they don't cause trouble. This house is really nice..."
"Besides this one, do you have other properties listed? We are very concerned about this matter and hope to find out whether the neighbors around the house we want to buy conflict with our ideas."
"What's the concept of this... Well, I haven't paid attention to this before. But I know that in our community, we burn paper and go to the cemetery. Many people here have their families buried in the cemetery. There is a bus at the door. You can change to the shuttle bus to the cemetery right away. In the past, there was probably a lot of paper burning, but it has decreased a lot in the past two years.”
"oh."
…
"... Excuse me, did you buy paper money here and burn it at the intersection?"
"Intersection? Over there at Wangjiaxiang intersection?"
"yes."
"There are very few people burning there. You must not burn them during the day. The sanitation workers will take care of them if they see them, and pedestrians don't like it. At night, there are occasionally, but very few. The street lights are bright here, and there are still people over there at night. There are food stalls, which are too busy to burn paper. If you want to burn paper, you should go to the cemetery. There is a bus at the gate of the community over there. After all, there is a shuttle bus. By the way, where are your family members buried? Our Qingming Festival I've contacted bus operators from time to time, and I can tell you where you want to go, and the price is easy to negotiate."
"Well, thank you."
…
"Boss, how are you?"
"The neighborhoods around here are considered normal."
"It's not a matter of stepping in a circle."
"perhaps."

"... If you want to burn paper, you should go to the cemetery... "
"Have you spent a whole day wandering around the community over there?"
"Yes. How was it? Did you gain anything?"
"I regret to tell you, no. There are quite a few voices, but none of the ones we are looking for."
"I knew it. Ah! What is that thing? Boss, let's make a trap? Ling, what do you think? Is there any suitable trap?"
"hold on."
"Wait? Shen Zhu doesn't live there anymore. To lure the snake out of its hole, we have to go up there."
"I always feel like something's not right."
"Do you want to check on Shen Zhu?"
"What? What did you find?"
"No, just intuition."
"You're a computer person who talks about intuition? This is what we in the art world are good at."
"Pfft! Mushroom, are you in the entertainment industry?"
"What do you know?"
"This Zhang Guang, something is not right. Maybe we can check again."
"There's nothing wrong with him and he's clean around him."
"It's not a supernatural issue, it's something else. It's quite strange that he appears in this matter."
"Start with his grandmother."
On August 25, 2007, Zhang Guang’s grandmother Jiang Yi was contacted. Audio file 04120070825.wav.
"Shen Meizhen... Sigh... She died very pitifully. When the neighborhood committee found the body, she couldn't find any family members. Finally, she found her work unit. That's how I found out about it and asked Aguang to help."
"Can you tell me about her? Our newspaper is very concerned about the current situation of elderly people living alone. We want to make in-depth reports on this typical case."
"It's about her... people are getting old and slow, so don't be impatient."
"It doesn't matter, you can think about it slowly."
"Well, she and I entered the factory in the same batch. It was a textile factory at that time, and we were both female textile workers. During the wave of layoffs, we were not in trouble. We were lucky. The leader of our unit had the brains to reform the system first to generate income. We It's not that miserable. Our factory has good profits and workers are well-paid. At that time, it was quite easy for our factory to find a partner. Shen Meizhen also found a partner, but after two talks, neither one came to fruition. I later heard from someone She said that it was because her family was against it. She had a brother who was an actor. Actors were rare at that time. Her brother was not a star, but he lived a good life, and everyone he met was beautiful. She also wanted to find a beautiful girl for her sister. Yes. All their family members are indeed beautiful."
"And after that?"
"We had to pick and choose, and Shen Meizhen was left alone. At that time, there was no free love, and the partner was just to get married and have children. What kind of love... is too far away. People of the same age are gradually getting married, and older and older people are getting married. Shen Meizhen looked down on those who were young and wanted to be young. Apart from those who were married for the second time, Shen Meizhen looked down on them. This back and forth was delayed, and she no longer had the intention. Because of this incident, she and The family is not very happy either. Her brother and sister-in-law are the kind of people who are eloquent. I have met them twice... They are too greasy. Those two people are not eloquent, but glib and frivolous. Shen Meizhen is very nice, but very introverted. With her The brother and sister-in-law are not from the same family. After their parents passed away, the two brothers and sisters stopped having much contact with each other."
"Ms. Shen's grandnephew said she looked very old."
"She looks very old. If her life is not happy, how can she not look old? However, after a few years, she got better. She must have thought about it. She lives alone and is deserted, but she is used to it and gives herself Looking for something to do. In the past two years at work gatherings, I heard her say that she was knitting sweaters, sewing, and doing cross-stitch as a young person now. She also read books, and read a lot of books. The neighborhood committee often came to care, so She should be living a good life. It was just a bit pitiful when she died. As the old saying goes, no one collected the body and no one offered incense. When the neighborhood committee found the body, she had been dead for two days and she already had some smell. "
"How much do you know about her house? I heard that your grandson helped handle her inheritance."
"I don't know much. Aguang went to help and found a suicide note. It can't be considered a suicide note... I don't know much about legal matters, so I wrote a diary, or an essay, etc., saying that I didn't know how to deal with things. Just leave it to her grandnephew. Aguang helped with it. I have never met her grandnephew. Aguang said that he is very smart, but does not do his job properly and is idle. It seems that he wanted to follow his father's path when he was young. If you don't become a star, you just hang around, and you're still there now."
