deep sin

Chapter 59: Hidden in the City

The word "introverted" came out of the fisherman's hat, which made the two policemen feel a little surprised. Just to be on the safe side, An Changpu deliberately found a reason to show the artistic photo of Lu Min to the two old people. After looking at it for a while, both of them decided that the person in the photo was Xie Leming's "girlfriend".

In this way, the "woman" who had a blind date with Xie Leming and was brought by him to stay at home for a while was definitely Lu Min himself. As for why a person who was so high-profile and flamboyant before became uncharacteristically in the process of getting along with Xie Leming He became low-key and introverted. The reason for this can only be speculated based on his previous encounters.

Going on a blind date in T County and meeting Xie Leming, all of this happened after he dealt with Liu Yuxiang. During the process of dealing with Liu Yuxiang, he almost got into trouble because his identity was discovered, and he was taught a lesson by his brother Lu Jun. , perhaps because of this experience, he changed his behavior and adopted a safer and more low-key style.

Besides, in the process of chatting with the two old people in the remaining time, An Changpu and Qin Ruonan also learned that Xie Leming used to be a worker in a factory in the county. Now, his physical condition has always been very good, and he can be said to be physically strong among his peers. Apart from drinking, he has no other bad habits on weekdays.

Although he got the phone number of Xie Leming's son's home, Qin Ruonan felt that it was inappropriate to call Xie Leming himself directly. If the other party deliberately concealed it, he would be passive instead.

So they went to the local police station first to check the transfer of Xie Leming's son's household registration. When they went there, Anchangpu was still a little worried. I'm afraid things will be difficult, but fortunately things are not that difficult. Xie Leming's son moved his household registration from the local area to City C more than two years ago.

This is very good, and it makes the subsequent investigation much more convenient.

Since they moved to City C, An Changpu and Qin Ruonan just returned to their own jurisdiction. They immediately drove back to City C and called back to let them stay in the serious crime team. Some people help to find out where Xie Leming's son is after he moved in.

Soon the results of the investigation came out. Tian Yang, who was helping to find out the registered address, told two people on the phone the street where his registered permanent residence is currently located. As soon as the two returned to the boundary of City C, they immediately drove to the police station in the jurisdiction of that street. After struggling to get the specific address from the police in charge.

"Don't even mention that Xie Leming's house in his hometown is in the village, but it is easy to find, but he moved to his son's house, let alone ordinary people who want to find him, even if it is us, if there is no His son's household registration is favorable for moving to City C, and it will take a lot of effort to find him." Anyway, after getting Xie Leming's current residential address, he went around a circle, and An Changpu couldn't help but feel a little emotional .

Qin Ruonan understood what he meant, and nodded in agreement: "That's why some people say that the little hermit lives in the wild, and the big hermit lives in the city."

Xie Leming's son lives in a residential area that was built two or three years ago. The residential area looks very grand from the outside. The retro design style makes the color of the stairs slightly darker, but it makes the towering buildings far away. It is unique among other surrounding residential areas and can be recognized at a glance.

Xie Leming's son lives in one of the high-rise buildings in this community that is close to the landscape center of the community. The floor is on the top floor. When Qin Ruonan and An Changpu arrived, someone happened to come out of the unit door. The two of them rang the doorbell All the procedures are omitted, just take the elevator and go straight to the top floor.

After knocking on the door for a while, there was no movement inside. Qin Ruonan looked at An Changpu, a little worried that they would be in vain here, An Changpu signaled her not to be impatient, and wait a little longer.

Sure enough, after knocking lightly and heavily for 2 minutes, the sound of footsteps finally came faintly from inside the door, and the slippers kicked from far to near, and the light in the door mirror suddenly dimmed. The door panel seems to be able to hear the sound of people breathing.

"Who are you looking for?" A loud but slightly old voice came from the door, the voice was a little muffled, as if the person who asked the question was lying on the door panel at the moment.

"Is this the Xie family?" An Changpu asked.

"Ah, yes, who are you looking for?"

Qin Ruonan took out his police officer's ID card, and held up the police badge on the ID card in front of the door mirror, so that people inside the door could see clearly: "Are you Xie Leming? We are police officers from the Serious Crime Division of the C City Public Security Bureau. Let me find out about the situation."

Suddenly there was no movement inside the door. After a long time, Qin Ruonan wanted to raise his hand to knock on the door several times, and the brown anti-theft door was finally opened from the inside with a click.The door slowly opened, and gradually widened from a small gap. The floor inside the door was covered with a dark red floor. A tall old man with gray hair but a red face stood at the door, silently looking at the two people outside the door. Keep silent, there is no one else at home except him.

"You are Xie Leming, right?" Although the scene in front of him can almost confirm the identity of the other party without a doubt, Qin Ruonan still confirms his identity first before being invited by the owner of the house.

Xie Leming nodded silently, took a few steps towards the door, and pointed to the room: "Come in!"

An Changpu and Qin Ruonan changed their shoes and entered the house, put on the slippers handed over by Xie Leming, and only saw when they entered the house. It turned out that the house on the top floor was like many real estates nowadays. When buying the top floor, it also comes with a In the flat-roofed attic, a spiral staircase leads directly to the upper floor. Below is a pattern of one bedroom, one living room, one bathroom and one kitchen. A long decorative chandelier hangs down from the roof of the attic along the center of the spiral staircase.

Qin Ruonan and the others looked at the decoration in the house, but Xie Leming had no intention of letting them into the living room. He stared at them blankly for a while, and then asked uncertainly, "Are you here to find me?"

"Yes." An Changpu nodded.

"Then come and sit with me!" Xie Leming hesitated again, raised his hand and pointed upstairs, then turned around and slowly moved upstairs step by step.

An Changpu and Qin Ruonan followed him and went up to the attic together with him, only to find that the style of the upstairs was quite different from that of the downstairs, and they did not have as strong a sense of fashion as the downstairs. , the decoration color and style are much softer and warmer, and things are a bit messy, but one can tell that it is a living space for older people.

Upstairs is a layout of two bedrooms and one bathroom. Once you go up the stairs, you turn into a small corridor. On one side of the corridor, there is a small door leading to the platform on the top floor. When Qin Ruonan passed by the small door, he stopped and walked towards the rooftop outside. Looking around, I found that there was a pergola on the roof, and there were many flowerpots, large and small, on the ground. Some of the flowerpots were just black soil, some were small seedlings whose shape could not be seen, and some seemed to be bought. Raised finished potted plants.

At the edge of the roof, a half-person-high guardrail was properly welded.

"The rooftop is really well cleaned!" Qin Ruonan said with emotion from the bottom of her heart. This small rooftop, which is not too big, really made her like it when she looked at it. When she thought of the bright sun, she could sit on it and bask in the sun. Seeing the comfort of the clouds slowly drifting away in the sky, she felt a little more unreachable yearning in her heart.

Xie Leming looked up on the roof, and there was a little more joy on his red face. The expression was not obvious, but it could still be seen: "My son made it for me! I was afraid that I would be bored, so I bought some Flowers and plants, as well as seeds, let me have nothing to do and play with them."

"Uncle Xie usually lives upstairs by himself?" An Changpu followed Xie Leming, and followed him into one of the two rooms that was used as a living room. There was a sofa and a TV in it.

Including some old things that are obviously old, such as a pair of shiny and shiny steel fitness balls that have been played with, a rubber grip that is so dark that it is almost difficult to distinguish the original color, and a pair of paper-yellow A big folding fan, a chipped enamel water cup, and so on.

Xie Leming let the two of them sit on the sofa while he stood aside. Hearing An Changpu's question, he seemed to have just come to his senses, and quickly said: "Ah, yes, I'm old, and it's quiet when I live on it. My son is young, so it doesn't affect me if he lives down there and goes to get off work or has friends over at home."

As soon as the words on his mouth were finished, his eyes slowly diverged, and he stood in front of the sofa as if he was out of his mind. He didn't know what he was thinking, and his two big hands with thick joints unconsciously rubbed his Side plackets.

Xie Leming looks quite simple, with bushy eyebrows, two eyes with single eyelids, but the corners of the eyes are slightly drooping after getting older, and there are many deep and shallow wrinkles on his face. Judging from his complexion, he should be a person with good bones.

But it is such a person, his mind-wandering speed and frequency in front of An Changpu and Qin Ruonan are so high, it is hard not to think that he is in a state of being distracted and distracted.

"Master Xie, do you have something on your mind?" Qin Ruonan asked tentatively.

Xie Leming didn't respond at first, and it was two seconds later that he realized that Qin Ruonan was talking to him, and quickly shook his head vigorously: "I have nothing on my mind! I have nothing on my mind."

This kind of reaction is tantamount to trying to cover up, even if Qin Ruonan was only asking casually, his answer will make people more appraised of the original speculation.

"Master Xie, sit down!" An Changpu knew that he had something on his mind, but he didn't ask. "Hey! So many photos! They were all taken in my hometown, right?"
