Chapter 50
It was rare for Lao Yang to come out for morning exercise, and the old friends in the small park all asked him curiously.
"I haven't seen you out for morning exercise these past few days. What have you been doing? Did you go to your son's place?"
"No, I'm at home." Old Yang didn't go anywhere at home these days. He didn't go out for morning exercise because his curiosity was completely aroused. Every day when he had nothing to do, he would observe the new family behind him. The act of observation is also called peeping. Anyway, the old man couldn't suppress his curiosity.
"Has the guy behind your house really moved in? There have been several renovation company cars coming in and out these past few days."
"Someone has moved in. The villa is being renovated and will be completed in the next two days." Lao Yang has been observing the progress of the renovation of the villa at the back very well over the past few days.
"I saw a police car go in a while ago. What happened?"
This question struck a chord with Old Yang. He had been holding this matter in for a while, and it was too much for him to speak out. "The missing child was found. He was dug out from the yard of the villa. I saw it clearly from my house. That's why the police came."
"Wow, it's been missing for over 10 years, how did you find it? And it's in my own home."
More and more old men and women gathered together, and Old Yang became the focus of the crowd, which made his observations over the past few days worthwhile.
"The person who moved in this time might have some skills. Wasn't the house for sale? He wanted it, so he contacted Xiaohua. That morning, when everyone arrived, I only saw that person pointing, and the others started digging. After a while, they dug something out, and then Xiaohua started crying. It must be the child they dug out. Later, the police came to take pictures and survey the scene."
"Even in this state, that person still wants the house. Come and live here quickly."
"So they must be capable people. Those incompetent people would be so scared that they would still live there. Those were just corpses that were dug up." Old Yang was very sure of this: "The clothes they wore were different from ours. They felt like clothes from ancient times."
Today's society has become much better. People are no longer so gloomy. They pursue more convenient clothes, the more convenient they are. Basically, you won't see those sperm patterns embroidered on clothes, and the styles are not the common shirts and trousers, but earlier styles than long gowns and jackets.
But if you ask me, it doesn't look like it, but it doesn't quite. It's definitely not something you see on the street. The conclusion is that it's handmade and most people don't wear it.
"Speaking of the corpses you mentioned, corpses were also dug up in the civilian area next door yesterday. When I was going to buy groceries, I passed by there and saw a crowd of people gathered there, so I went to see what was going on and heard people talking about it."
"There's a small shop there. The owner is an older bachelor. He has a huge cellar under his bed. Inside are people's clothes, cages, and dead cats in those cages. They dug up a lot of bones from under that cellar, along with dead cats and dogs. I heard there were even human remains. The people next door were terrified. They'd buy spices and other things from that shop."
"Is this true? Why didn't we hear any movement here?"
"You never leave the house, how could you possibly hear anything? It's pretty scary anyway. That boss must be a pervert."
Lao Yang's halo as the protagonist was snatched away by the aunt next to him, but he didn't care. Instead, he was enjoying listening to the performance together. He couldn't help shaking his head and marveling at the different kinds of people in this world.
Lao Yang then went off topic to the excavation site next door, and some people paid more attention to what he had said before.
Morning exercises in Jinshuize Community basically end with all kinds of gossip. Lao Yang staggered to leave. After exchanging information with each other, he wanted to take some new information home and tell his wife.
"Lao Yang, Lao Yang, wait a moment."
Just as he was about to reach home, he heard someone calling him from behind. Lao Yang Tianxia stopped and turned to look.
"Old Zhao, what's wrong? What's the matter?" He and Old Zhao lived in the same residential complex, but they were not very familiar with each other. They had only chatted a few words during morning exercises, and they were not even friends. If he came to see him at this time, there must be something wrong.
"Is the family you mentioned really capable?"
Old Yang was startled. It looked like something was wrong. "That person must be really capable. Just think about it. How long has Xiaohua's child been missing? He just came and pointed out the child's location. Unless he is the criminal who committed the murder and buried the body, who else could have such a talent?"
"If he really was the culprit, he wouldn't have chosen to live in that house and pointed out the location of the body. The police are here, and nothing has happened. It definitely wasn't him. It must have been someone with great skills who figured it out with just a few calculations."
What Lao Yang said was so mysterious that Lao Zhao didn't quite believe it, but he also hoped that what he said was true.
Old Yang also noticed his hesitation and couldn't help asking curiously, "What happened to you? You need to find someone in this field."
In fact, everyone's attitude towards these talented people is to avoid them, with the feeling that they can neither afford to offend nor avoid them. Although they are curious, it is impossible to really let them deal with them, unless they encounter a problem that must be solved by finding such people.
After all, after the war, the suppression of people in this area was also very severe. In that era, all kinds of monsters and demons, whether real or fake, came out. In order to stabilize the society as soon as possible, they were all labeled as liars and support the development of social sciences.
Now, some people believe in it, and some don't. There is really no way to prove it except through science. Even if people are curious, they will try to avoid it if possible.
"There's just a little thing." Old Zhao hesitated and didn't directly answer Old Yang's question. Old Zhao's family situation was a bit complicated. His family was a small businessman, but his son was very ambitious and insisted on joining the army when he was a teenager. No matter how they tried to persuade him, he couldn't stop.
He went to military school while in the army and met his daughter-in-law at the military school. From the time they fell in love to the time they got married, it was a very natural process and did not cause any worries for Mr. and Mrs. Zhao.
It was only when they got married that they realized that their daughter-in-law's family was not an ordinary family. All the family members were in politics and military and held high positions. The Zhao family did not ask for anything, so they did not have many concerns when getting along with them.
They are just ordinary in-laws, and the relationship between the two families is quite close. The one who got into trouble was the daughter-in-law's eldest brother.
His eldest brother's unit number is kept secret. Anyway, he has only seen it once since his son got married. No one knows what mission he went on. Now he is waiting to die at home. Military hospitals, national hospitals, and traditional Chinese medicine seem to be unable to help. There are no wounds on his body, he just lost weight for no reason. He is a 1.88 meter tall man who used to be as strong as an ox, but now there is only skin and bones.
I also secretly sought help from temples or folk masters, but my son said there was no improvement at all. At this time, I had really given up and was waiting to die at home.
He also heard Lao Yang talk about it today. He thought about it and felt that it was possible, so he came over quietly to inquire. After all, it is better for the identity of the in-laws not to be related to metaphysics.
