No.14 Disciple: Death Puzzle

Chapter 34
People nowadays, their hearts are broken.Sui Yumei often walked in the spacious corridors of the apartment with her chest straight, scanning the marble floor tiles with critical eyes.The smooth floor tiles look abnormally cold, giving people a chill in the hot summer.

Sui Yumei has been living in the Tangning Mansion for almost a year, and the Tangning Mansion can be regarded as a relatively late-built residential area in Xijing.It is located in the south of Xijing City, the residential area is built by the lake, not too far from the commercial area.

The Tangning Mansion has an environmental advantage. Currently, the first phase of the project has only been completed, and the construction of the second phase has already started.The environment of Tangning Mansion is beautiful, and many elderly people with rich families choose to settle here for the elderly.

There are only three floors in the residential area, but it is much higher than the average three-story building.There are five households on each floor of the mansion, and each household consists of two floors.Calculated in this way, the actual height of a three-story building is equivalent to more than five floors of an ordinary building.

The reason Sui Yumei was able to live in the Tangning Mansion was entirely due to her having a good son.A few years ago, Sui Yumei's son was just a young civil servant. Later, tired of the model life, he resigned and went into business. He quickly made a fortune.

The process of achieving a certain achievement always contains dark secrets in the eyes of outsiders, just like the joke Sui Yumei saw that her old friend forwarded to her on the mobile phone-"In our classroom, the teacher will not teach the way to make money. , that's why we can't produce rich men like Bill Gates..."

Sui Yumei couldn't help laughing after watching it. If making money can be taught in class, wouldn't everyone be rich?Sui Yumei is well aware of her son's growth process, so she will not sympathize with those jokes made up to comfort herself.

The year before last, Sui Yumei's wife died of illness, and her son was out of town doing business and couldn't be with her all the time, and the neighborhood she used to live in was really shabby, so his son was worried that she would live alone in such a shabby neighborhood, so he spent a lot of money to buy a set in the Tangning mansion. A high-end apartment, and hired a full-time nanny for her with a high salary.

At first, Sui Yumei was not used to someone who was not relatives or relatives wandering in front of her eyes, but when she thought of the huge living room and so many rooms in this apartment, her heart felt empty.Her son only came back for a day or two every month, so she reluctantly accepted the young nanny.

People nowadays, their hearts are broken.Sui Yumei didn't trust the young nanny that much. For the first two months, she kept a close eye on the girl's every move, for fear that she would hide the precious decorations at home and steal them away.When talking on the phone with her son, Sui Yumei told her her concerns, but the son smiled and told her that this nanny graduated from a regular university and has undergone professional and strict training, so there is no need to worry.

"Graduate from a regular university? Then why do you do such an inferior job? I think there is something wrong with this. She must be trying to figure something out. People nowadays are heartbroken."

Sui Yumei pouted and spoke to the phone, but the son on the other side smiled and persuaded her to relax.People nowadays, their hearts are broken.Sui Yumei was shocked when she heard about the property management fee of Tangning Mansion.She thought to herself that she was an old lady living here, and she didn't enjoy any property services, so why did she need such an expensive property fee?
Thinking of this, Sui Yumei decided to call her son to discuss it when she was free.

That's right, there are two neighbors, and they are not good things either.Sui Yumei lives in the middle apartment on the second floor of the mansion, with two families on the left and right.In one of them lived a young couple.I heard from the nanny that the apartment was bought by the man, and the woman was the man's girlfriend, and the two were in a cohabitation relationship.It is said that the man is a rich second generation, who does nothing every day, and the money for the apartment is also paid by his family.

When Sui Yumei heard this, her face was filled with displeasure.A young guy not doing his job properly, but living with a girl who has no name or status, isn't that a hooligan?

People nowadays, their hearts are broken.There are residents on the other side, which is even more outrageous!A woman who is almost 50 years old and has never been married. She dresses up all day long, not to mention, and shamelessly takes young men home from time to time.Tsk tsk tsk, shameless!

Sui Yumei always shakes her head helplessly when she thinks of this.That woman doesn't have any sense of public morality, and often a few young girls come to her house, and for some reason, the sound of the stereo is always turned on very loudly.Occasionally, Sui Yumei was sitting on a rocking chair by the balcony window on the second floor reading a newspaper when she heard music wafting from the next door.She was upset for a while, got up and left the window and went back to the living room downstairs.

What?The cohabiting couple?Pooh!Not to mention shameless!Once, when Sui Yumei had nothing to do, she suddenly felt that she wanted to urge her son to quickly find someone to marry and have children. She saw that the time was already 09:30 in the evening.The nanny was sitting with her in the living room watching TV, she got up and wanted to go to the garden outside, the nanny wanted to accompany her, Sui Yumei was not allowed to say anything.

Sui Yumei went to the corridor of the garden alone and called her son, who was still humming and listening to her lecture, and she walked back half an hour later.When she was about to walk to the door of the apartment, she saw two strange figures entangled in front of the door next door.

Sui Yumei was startled, she came to the front lightly, took a closer look, it was the couple living together next door, they were kissing there.The man was groping around the woman, the woman had already untied the man's belt, and put her hand into the man's crotch... Sui Yumei couldn't stand it anymore, although it was late at night, after all, this corridor is a public place, right? ?Sui Yumei deliberately coughed twice, attracting the couple's attention, the woman quickly retracted her hand from her boyfriend's crotch.The man smiled sheepishly.Sui Yumei walked quickly past the couple who were about to open the door and go back to the apartment, and said, "It's outrageous!

Playing hooligans in the corridor..." The man was displeased when he heard it, blushing and said to Sui Yumei's back: "Old lady, don't look at what you shouldn't, be careful! The woman dragged her boyfriend to the door, asking him not to argue. But this Sui Yumei is not a vegetarian. When she was young, she was nicknamed "Sui Yuzui" in her workplace. Sui Yumei muttered: "Now even The old man dares to be so arrogant, it's really a declining world..."

Maybe he was poked at a sore spot, the man was very angry, but he calmed down immediately, looked at Sui Yumei mockingly and said, "I thought you were so capable! You can afford this house because you gnawed on your son? What's so great about an old woman who gnaws on her son?"

Sui Yumei wanted to fight back, but unexpectedly the couple closed the apartment door with a bang. "I eat and drink my son in return for raising my son. Are you ashamed to say such a thing as a young man?"

Reluctantly, she could only say this to herself, and Sui Yumei returned home angrily.People nowadays, their hearts are broken.This morning, Sui Yumei got up as early as usual, and she came to the restaurant downstairs to have breakfast.

The nanny laid out the morning newspaper for her on the table, and went back to tidy up the kitchen.The radio is broadcasting the weather forecast, "Today the weather will turn from sunny to heavy rain, friends who go out, please be prepared for protection..."

Sui Yumei glanced out the window, it was sunny at this time: "I don't know if the weather forecast is accurate." But she still decided to go home as soon as possible after the morning exercise.

After breakfast, Sui Yumei changed into the dressing gown that the nanny prepared for her. The shoulders of the dress were thickened. This is what she heard from her old partner who lived in the mansion next door—"When you get old, you should take care of yourself. Shoulders, knees, etc., otherwise, if you catch a cold, you will have a big mess..."

Sui Yumei met her old friends outside the mansion, and a few old ladies walked towards the lake with strides that looked stiff but were actually a little bit brave.Several old men have already practiced Tai Chi under the trees by the lake.Sui Yumei was considered young among these old people, but whenever she heard her old partner mention her grandchildren, she would think of the fact that her son was not married yet, and feel upset for a while.

After practicing Baduanjin on the platform by the lake, Sui Yumei followed her old partner towards home.Walking on the wooden plank road leading to the garden, looking in the direction of the lake, the second phase of the Tangning Mansion is under construction on the side, and the construction site has started one after another.

A dark cloud like an island in the sea had already appeared in the blue sky, and it was drifting towards Tang Ning's mansion.It looks like it's going to rain!Sui Yumei couldn't help speeding up her pace.

Back at the mansion, there was a female cleaner in the lobby with a rag carefully wiping the dust off the walls.Sui Yumei stepped on the thin red carpet and walked towards the elevator. Although the whole building only has three floors, it is not low in height, and the ring-shaped marble steps surround it. It looks quite gorgeous, but it really makes it difficult It takes some work for older people to walk up the stairs.

However, Sui Yumei didn't want to go upstairs on foot, not because she couldn't climb the stairs anymore, the property fee here was astonishingly high, and she didn't want the property company to make money for nothing.

As soon as the elevator reached the second floor, she heard the sound of music. When the elevator door opened, the music was very loud.

Sui Yumei came to the corridor to look for the source of the music: "Who's family started making noise early in the morning? It's too immoral!" Sui Yumei came to the door of the woman next door, and the huge music poured out from the door, booming .

Sui Yumei didn't understand, the sound of the stereo was so loud, why didn't anyone come out to take care of it?At this time, the couple next door opened the door and looked at Sui Yumei sleepily, probably thinking that someone was going to deal with the irritating noise, so they closed the door.

Sui Yumei rolled her eyes at the couple, and slapped hard on the door of the apartment, trying to get the woman's attention.But as soon as she clapped her hand twice, the door was opened by her.

Sui Yumei didn't expect that a few minutes later, her screams would be drowned out by the loud speakers, and she crawled out of the apartment door into the corridor in horror, until someone found her almost fainted...
