Chapter 20

In the early 90s, the reform and opening up achieved remarkable results.Lianli Town, located between the suburbs of S County and the provincial capital, was just an alluvial dam on the edge of the Yangtze River. Because of its terrain, it was planned as an economic development zone. Township enterprises, joint ventures, and foreign-funded enterprises have sprung up like mushrooms. Clothing factories, toy factories, furniture factories, shoe factories and so on, Lianli Town is developing rapidly and becoming more lively and full of business opportunities than ever before.A lot of foreigners poured in, some came to do business, some came to work, some came from nearby villages and towns, some from surrounding counties and cities, and even people from neighboring provinces came to look for jobs.

Yan Liping came from H County, a neighboring county.After graduating from high school, she came to work with her fellow villagers and found a job in a garment factory.Later, through an introduction, I met Zhu Qiang, who runs a family hotel at home. After a year of dating, they got married.After marriage, she quit her job in a garment factory to help run a family hotel.

Zhu's family hotel was opened by Zhu Qiang's father, Zhu Guangyao. Zhu Guangyao was a capable person in Lianli Town. He used to run some small business outside to earn some money. Later, Lianli Town became an economic development zone. Check back to see if there is a suitable opportunity.When he saw that there were a lot of migrants, people talking about business, purchasing, coming and going, especially those who were looking for jobs poured into the lotus, and the accommodation was difficult, he immediately demolished his old house and rebuilt it with two floors and one bottom. Building, opened a Zhu family hotel.The small building was beautifully built, with a yard in front of it, a small garden, and planted some flowers and plants. It was a family hotel with the best environment in Lianli Town at that time.

On the left side of the ground floor is the room of Zhu Qiang and Yan Liping, followed by the kitchen and dining room, and the registration room. , on the far right is Zhu Guangyao's bedroom.

Usually Zhu Guangyao and Zhu Qiang are responsible for reception and registration

and operating a commissary.Yan Liping is responsible for the hotel's cleanliness and three meals a day.The family of three cooperated with each other to manage the family hotel in an orderly manner.Because there are many factories nearby, people often come to buy things in the accommodation, and the business is not bad.

After Yan Liping became pregnant and gave birth to a child, she asked a neighbor aunt to help. One was to wait for the confinement, but to help with cleaning.

The confinement is over, because Yan Liping has to take the child, the aunt continues to stay in the hotel to help, coming during the day and leaving at night.

Lianli Town in May is a low season for recruiting workers. The peak season for recruiting workers is the month after the Spring Festival. After March, it is difficult to find a job. You can only fill in the gaps or wait for the coming year.Therefore, family hotels are also in the off-season in May. Except for those purchasing and sales people who come to stay, there are generally far fewer people looking for work.

On 5.28, there were only three passengers at the Zhu Family Hotel. 203 is a buyer in H province. He will stay for one night tonight and leave early tomorrow. 205 are two young people who came out of province A to look for a job. They have lived there for several days and have not yet found a job.

After seven o'clock in the evening, the buyer was packing his luggage, and there was a toy for his son. It was June [-]st, and the son must be happy to see it.It's been almost half a month since he came out, and he finally negotiated and got the goods he wanted. I'll go home tomorrow and get the car early in the morning.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Brother, it's us, next door."

The buyer opened the door and saw two young people next door.One of them was tall and skinny, and the other was shorter and stronger.The two young people have also lived here for several days, and they have also met with the buyer several times. The buyer knows that they are looking for a job.

The two young people are classmates. They graduated from high school last year, did not go to university, and did not find a suitable job in their hometown. They were mixed, and they came here after hearing that it was easy to find, but they missed the job offer. In the peak season, the good ones are already full, and they don’t like those who have vacancies. There are still several factories under construction, and the fastest one will have to wait until the end of the year. , how can we endure until the end of the year?Gotta find a way.They feel that the buyer has traveled all over the country and has a lot of knowledge, so they want to chat with him and ask them if they can find a job in H province.

The buyer listened to their explanation and let them in. The three of them talked very happily. The two young people glanced at the buyer's bulging bag from time to time, revealing their admiration for the buyer's work. He can make a lot of money, and the buyer is a rich man.

At more than 8 o'clock, Zhu Qiang's shout came from downstairs, calling the buyer to go down and answer the phone.

At that time, communications were not yet developed, only big money used big brothers, and pagers were just emerging in big cities.Zhu Qiang is very business savvy. Looking for a relationship, he spent several thousand yuan to install a public phone in the Zhu Family Hotel, which is convenient for tourists and nearby migrant workers.

The buyer went down to answer the phone, and the two young men also said goodbye.Returning to his room, the short man sighed and said, "Hey! I didn't expect it to be so difficult to find a job, and I ran out of money.

Tall man: "That's right, it's a good day at home, but it's hard to go out."

"How about we still go home?"

"Now there is no toll to go back, what should I do?"

"Hey, I think the guy next door is very rich, let's go get some money for the toll."

"He went down to answer the phone, the door doesn't seem to be closed, why don't you go take a look?"

"go."

The two did what they said, and ran to the next door immediately. The door was not closed tightly, and they immediately began to rummage after entering.

The luggage bag looked bulging, but there was nothing of value, only clothes and toys, the bedside table, and under the pillow, but nothing.

While flipping through the pages, the buyer came back, "What are you doing? Ah! You want to steal something!"

The two panicked and did not expect the buyer to come back so soon.

"Brother, we are also confused for a while... Let's go now." The tall man defended.

The short man saw the black faux leather satchel on the buyer's shoulder and shouted, "The money is in the satchel!"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the buyer wanted to run out. The short man quickly went up and hugged him and dragged him in. The tall man also came to help. The two joined forces and pressed the buyer to the bed.The purchaser was not weak, and resisted desperately, and the three of them scuffled together.The short man got up, picked up the stool in the room and smashed it on the buyer's head several times until the buyer stopped moving.

The tall man was surprised: "You beat him to death?"

The short man touched the buyer and snorted: "I'm still angry. Look at him and I'll go get the knife."

The knife was bought for self-defense when they came.

Seeing that the short man quickly came back with the knife, the tall man said, "What do you want to do!? Forget it, let's go quickly!"

"He has already discovered us. If he doesn't die, we have to die." The short man stabbed the buyer hard with the knife after saying that...

The two opened the buyer's bag and counted the belongings. There was not much money, and they were disappointed.

He kicked the buyer and took off the watch from his hand, "Do you think you have money? That's not enough to travel."

"His money is almost used up, he needs to eat and stay..."

"Yes, the accommodation fee, for so many days, the accommodation fee alone is a few hundred dollars, and the rich people are downstairs..." He pointed to the downstairs.

Don't do it again and again.

After some conspiracy, the two called Zhu Qiang to come up for an excuse. By surprise, they knocked Zhu Qiang unconscious and stabbed several times until Zhu Qiang fell in a pool of blood...

Next was Zhu Guangyao, who was busy in the canteen. After killing Zhu Guangyao, the short man began to rummage for belongings, and the tall man took a knife to find Yan Liping.

The weather was already a little hot at the end of May, and the night was especially sultry, like a thunderstorm.Yan Liping bathed the child early, and the little girl lay comfortably in the cradle to play for a while. After yawning a few times, she fell asleep.

In the past, Zhu Qiang would come over to tease her daughter before she went to bed, but Yan Liping didn't care if she didn't come today. It was estimated that she was busy. At the end of the month, her father-in-law said that he would check the canteen.

The child fell asleep, and she was about to go out to have a look. She seemed to hear her father-in-law shouting something, so she couldn't help but quicken her pace. She didn't expect that she was walking towards death.

Yan Liping, who had just gone out, met the tall man. Before she could see who it was, she was stabbed a few times. The last and only thought is: Niuniu, my child!You must be okay!

The lights in the room turned on, and strange footsteps came in.Niuniu, who was sleeping in the cradle, woke up, she smelled a special smell, (she didn't know it was the bloody smell emanating from her mother) and felt a kind of fear, (it was an instinctive response to life-threatening threats) and opened the door Eyes, she wants to cry, wants to shout.But in an instant, I seemed to hear my mother saying: Niuniu, darling, don't cry...

Niuniu is a good child, she listens to her mother's words very much, because her mother's words are very sweet and gentle, so she closed her lips tightly, did not make a sound, just widened her eyes.Hearing the approaching footsteps, a suffocating breath wrapped her tightly, making her small body shudder and tremble slightly...

Just when she was about to take it no longer, she heard hurried footsteps coming from the door again, and a voice shouted: "Come on, it seems that someone is coming!"

The chaotic footsteps ran away, the suffocating feeling gradually disappeared, but the special smell became stronger and stronger, making Niuniu feel very uncomfortable, why didn't mother come?Finally, at the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, opened her mouth wide, and started crying...

A lightning flashed across the sky, and the thunder rumbled, from far to near, and exploded over the small building, and the cry of the little girl was quickly drowned out by the thunder.

The pouring rain soon fell.

Everything was covered by this huge rain screen.

-

It was raining in the morning, and the aunt who helped came to the family hotel. From a distance, I heard the hoarse cry of the little girl.I thought to myself: This child woke up so early today?She cried so hard, why didn't Liping coax her?

Walking into the yard, first ran to the child's room, Liping, and saw Yan Liping lying in a pool of blood at a glance.

"Oh my God! Killed!" The aunt's shrill voice resounded throughout the yard.

　This chapter was so difficult to write that it took several times to complete it.I don't dare to write about the process of the murder in detail. It's too cruel. I can only explain it briefly, so everyone can understand it.
