Chapter 90: Clues
"The motives behind serial disappearances include, in part, to torture victims for amusement and to keep souvenirs," Chen Zhenzhu said as she walked alongside them. "Like the case in Baiyin, the killer collected more than ten items belonging to the victims. Others target wealthy people for economic gain; the 'King of Thieves' in Hong Kong in the 1990s was one example. Yet another type is motivated by revenge against society, resulting in indiscriminate attacks, provoking the police, and causing social unrest."
After learning about Fang Chengkai's case, Zhao Qiqi developed a great interest in criminal psychology and asked, "What are the characteristics of this type of murderer?"
Lu Ye said, "I know a little bit about it; it's convenient to move around without attracting attention."
“That’s right.” Chen Zhenzhu glanced at the bus stop sign and said, “The primary reason is occupational convenience, such as taxi drivers having easy access to strangers. Others are familiar with their area, such as security guards or local residents. According to the latest ‘criminal comfort zone theory’ proposed abroad, first-time crimes usually occur within five kilometers of the residence or workplace, and as they become more proficient, they gradually expand to areas around transportation hubs, such as train stations, long-distance bus stations, and nearby hotels and guesthouses. Someone capable of causing 25 people to go missing must have a certain ability to disguise themselves. When screening suspects, we prioritize those with dynamic crime types, such as those with poor life stability, high mobility, living in areas with weak social control, and residing in urban-rural fringe areas or rural areas.”
Shen Zhenzhu originally intended to go back and analyze the data, but time waits for no one. She took notes as she walked, so that when she returned, they could combine the data with their own thoughts and conduct in-depth analysis.
Upon arriving at the dormitory of the Hongmei Sorghum Wine Factory No. 3, following the directions of the old man at the gate, we found the address of the wife of the second victim in Hongmei County.
Before going upstairs, Chen Zhenzhu told them, "Wu Jinzhong, male, 37 years old, married but childless. He went out to buy groceries in the early 1990s and hasn't been seen since. The last place he was seen was at the bus stop downstairs. His wife works at the same company, and this is a welfare housing unit of the sorghum distillery."
"I'll go." Lu Ye walked ahead, went up to the third floor, and knocked on the door.
Two sets of footsteps soon came from inside. An elderly woman opened the door, holding a girl of about two years old in her arms. When she saw Lu Ye in plain clothes, she was so frightened that she cried out "Ah!" and quickly tried to close the door.
Lu Ye was tall and burly, with a menacing aura. Usually, the uprightness of his olive-colored uniform didn't show, but when he changed into his own clothes, with his buzz cut and dark face, it was already a miracle he didn't scare the children to tears.
Shen Zhenzhu quickly pulled out her ID and said, "The criminal investigation team is here to find out about Wu Jinzhong's situation before his disappearance."
The old woman couldn't read, and the little girl in her arms kept calling out, "Mama, Mama!"
"Hello." A woman who was still cooking in the kitchen came out. She had a gentle appearance, and a wedding photo of her remarriage was hanging on the wall behind her.
"Mom, take Yan Yan inside. I want to talk to them."
The old man carried the child into the house, and as he walked to the door, he turned back and muttered, "It's been so many years since I left, why do people still come and ask me if my son is doing well?"
After the old man left, the woman invited Chen Zhenzhu and the others to sit down and poured them some water.
Chen Zhenzhu felt good and took out her notebook to take notes, but then she heard the woman say, "I don't want to talk about him anymore. Please leave after you finish your water."
Lu Ye picked up his water glass, about to drink, but then put it down again: "Don't you want us to solve the case?"
The woman sighed and said, "My relationship with him was just so-so before. He was a playboy. He's been missing for so long, and we've already got his death certificate. I've even remarried and had children. I want to erase these unpleasant memories and don't want to talk about them anymore."
Shen Zhenzhu looked directly into her eyes, and the woman instinctively looked away. Shen Zhenzhu stroked her teacup, closed her notebook, and said, "I can forgo a formal statement, but I want to ask a question: what is the real reason you're not pursuing this?"
The woman was taken aback. She had assumed Lu Ye was the leader. Unexpectedly, after the young female police officer closed her notebook, the two slightly older male police officers also closed theirs, making it clear who truly held the reins.
"I...I have nothing to say." The woman paused for a few seconds, then said with exasperation, "It's all just gossip."
"Can you tell me?" Shen Zhenzhu looked at her sincerely and advised, "You and Wu Jinzhong have been married for eight years, so you must have some feelings for each other. Even if you're starting a new life, can you tell me what you know? Don't let Wu Jinzhong disappear without a trace, okay?"
The woman suddenly blushed, stood up, walked to the balcony, took off her padded jacket, turned around, and said awkwardly, "How could he disappear without a trace? He often gets involved with married women. Maybe his husband found out and killed him to cover it up."
Shen Zhenzhu and Lu Ye exchanged a glance and received a message.
The woman, still resentful, said about her previous marriage, "If I had known he would cheat on me after we got married, I wouldn't have married him. I'm very happy now. My husband is a good family man, and my daughter is adorable. I don't want to talk about that dirty stuff anymore. You should all leave now."
Chen Zhenzhu stood up and asked, "Does he have any other relatives?"
Since communication was no longer possible, Chen Zhenzhu had no choice but to try other approaches.
“They’re all dead,” the woman said. “His father died of a stroke when he was 18, and he took over the business at the sorghum distillery. His mother drank pesticide and died three months after he disappeared.”
She gripped the hem of her dress tightly, angrily saying, "His mother even scolded me for not being able to keep my man! Is that something a good mother-in-law should say?!"
......
"At least we know that Wu Jinzhong has entanglements with married women." Zhao Qiqi was driving in front, while Xiaobai called to inform the headquarters that a new batch of victim information had been sent over, and Shen Zhenzhu and the others went back overnight to process it.
Chen Zhenzhu rested her chin on her hand, pondering whether this piece of private information was actually useful.
The venue for the "Grand Competition" was still brightly lit.
As she walked inside, Chen Zhenzhu saw Xiao Bai sitting at table number 1 in the distance. Xiao Bai, with his round and chubby face, was eating a roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) with great relish. He was so happy that he swung his legs around happily.
"Sister Pearl!" In just one day, Xiao Bai was already calling her that fluently, only using the affectionate term "Sister Pearl."
Seeing that Lu Ye and Zhao Qiqi had also returned, she puffed out her cheeks and said, "Thank you for your hard work, seniors. I'm on duty tonight, so feel free to contact me anytime."
"You've worked hard too." Looking at Xiaobai, Lu Ye recalled the scene when Chen Zhenzhu first joined the fourth team and ate steamed buns in her sleep. Just as soft and fluffy, just as fond of food.
Seeing the stack of new materials on the table, neatly categorized and organized, Chen Zhenzhu asked Xiaobai, "Did you organize all of this?"
Xiao Bai puffed out his chest and said, "Yes! Anyway, I'm just killing time, so I'll try to help my seniors with some simple tasks. Oh, by the way, there are boxed lunches over there. Seniors, wait a moment, I'll go get them for you. They have four-happiness meatballs in them, they're so delicious!"
“No wonder we clicked,” Chen Zhenzhu said with a smile. “This is the mutual appreciation between foodies.”
Lu Ye sighed, "Look at these younger generation members! Unlike our fourth team, where we finally got a female comrade who's always hitting people with a small hammer. And now that we have a male comrade, he devours our food in no time if we're not careful. They all have no respect for the elderly or the young."
These words were so arrogant and condescending that both Shen Zhenzhu and Zhao Qiqi wanted to teach him a lesson.
Ring ring—
Ring ring.
The cell phone suddenly rang. After answering the phone, Shen Zhenzhu covered the receiver and said, "It's Sixth Sister. There's something going on at home. You guys eat first."
Lu Ye waved his hand: "Come over quickly, it won't be good if it gets cold."
Chen Zhenzhu rubbed her furrowed brow, walked to a corner of the venue, leaned against the wall, and called out enthusiastically, "Mom!"
Shen Liuhe was at the No. 1 branch, opposite Wu Fuwang, Li Lili, and Shen Yuyuan who were having a meeting.
Upon hearing Chen Zhenzhu's voice, she first asked, "Are you busy? Mom has something she wants to discuss with you. If you're busy, I'll call you back later."
"Go ahead and say it, it's lunchtime." Shen Zhenzhu watched as Xiaobai carried a stack of lunchboxes over, snatched a few oranges from a classmate halfway there, placed them all in front of Lu Ye and Zhao Qiqi, and then picked up two oranges and proudly waved them at herself.
Shen Liuhe then pressed the speakerphone button and said into the landline, "May I ask for your opinion, you busy man, if you have five minutes to spare? Should our family register a trademark to prevent counterfeit shops and products? I didn't want to call you, but someone told me that someone surnamed Hu wants to register the 'Sixth Sister' brand and feels it's very urgent."
Hu Xianfeng?
Shen Zhenzhu was instantly furious. Why was this person so persistent?
Shen Zhenzhu suddenly remembered that Shen Yuyuan had mentioned the trademark on New Year's Eve, and she wholeheartedly agreed: "Great! If we have our own trademark, we won't be afraid of others registering it as the 'Sixth Sister' brand first. Then we'll be extorted for money if we use 'Sixth Sister'."
"Are we really going to get ripped off?" Shen Liuhe had heard Li Lili mention it before, and now that Shen Zhenzhu said it, she felt like she was in a real crisis: "We have to get it done quickly. I heard that you have to register a company before you can apply for a trademark."
"Then you can be the general manager. Our family owns a storefront, so it shouldn't be difficult," Shen Zhenzhu said with a grin. "I'll be a rich second-generation heir from now on."
Shen Liuhe knew nothing about this, but fortunately, there were a group of younger girls helping her.
"Oh right, let's register 'One Two Three Four Five Seven Eight Sister' too." Chen Zhenzhu said without finding it troublesome, "It would be best to register 'One Two Three... Seven Eight Sister' as well, so that Hu Xianfeng won't imitate it."
Li Lili slapped her thigh and said to Shen Yuyuan, "It's all thanks to my elder sister's foresight. How come I didn't think of that?"
Wu Fuwang quickly wrote it down in the "Meeting Minutes Book" and took it seriously.
Chen Zhenzhu was embarrassed by the praise, which wasn't really "far-sighted"; it was just that there were too many similar incidents later on. As soon as a brand becomes famous, similar names spring up like mushrooms after rain.
Putting aside other things, recently, since "Sprite" became popular, she bought a counterfeit "Leibi"! These kinds of counterfeit products are truly impossible to guard against. Market supervision will take many more years to perfect.
"Then register all of these, so that the Hu family won't have a chance." After finishing her business, Shen Liuhe picked up the microphone again and instructed, "I heard your voice is hoarse. Did you drink the jujube water I brought you? If you didn't finish it, that's fine. Just drink some cool boiled water so you don't get a sore throat. Otherwise, you'll get big pimples on your face, and even if people don't remember your name, they'll all call you 'Big Pimple'."
Shen Zhenzhu was amused by Shen Liuhe, realizing that Shen Liuhe knew she must be under a lot of pressure to come to the competition. She had never seen her sixth sister tease her like this before.
"Okay, I've shared the lotus leaf chicken and red bean buns I brought with everyone today." Chen Zhenzhu said, "Take good care of yourselves. I won't be home for another month, so don't lose weight. If you have any questions, consult a lawyer. Make sure it's a reputable one. If all else fails, I'll ask Brother Zheng to recommend a reliable lawyer for us."
"Alright, alright, we know. You should hurry up and get back to work." Shen Yuyuan said into the microphone, "Don't worry about things at home, we're all here."
"Here I am!"
Don't worry~
"Sister Pearl, don't worry."
Hearing the series of sounds, Shen Zhenzhu was naturally worried. She hung up the phone and ran back to her seat.
When Xiaobai handed her the chopsticks, Chen Zhenzhu took a big bite of the four-happiness meatballs and felt her agitated mood instantly calm down. It turns out that the power of care can turn sorrow into gentle comfort.
The new documents are Shen Zhenzhu's personal work file and social relationship records, which she applied for during the day. Considering that the victim's family members should have been admitted to give multiple statements, if there is still no breakthrough in this area, we can only start from another angle.
Here you can see the life stories of each victim; the vast majority of them have been missing for more than two years and have been confirmed dead. Their social connections were brought to the "grand competition" site after a thorough search.
It was already the early morning of the second day of the "Grand Competition".
Shen Zhenzhu felt like she was being covered by an ocean of materials, and at this moment she had to thank the provincial department for arranging for Xiaobai, an excellent police academy student, to assist her.
As dawn broke outside the window, Xiao Hongjun arrived ahead of time: "Xiaobai, go and rest, I'll take over."
Xiao Bai glanced at Chen Zhenzhu, who hadn't looked up all night, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm not sleepy yet, I'll stay a little longer."
Xiao Hongjun muttered, "They don't even give us any extra credits. I heard that the team from Case No. 9 went to Liancheng with more than 10 people to conduct fingerprint investigation. They're going to use a human wave tactic. But here, we can't even muster a human wave."
Xiao Bai forced a smile, got up, brewed the coffee she had brought, and served it to Chen Zhenzhu and the others.
Xiao Hongjun saw it and curled her lip.
Unable to hear anything else, Shen Zhenzhu constantly used her brain to distinguish between useful information that needed to be investigated and which was useless information that could be set aside from the vast amount of trivial materials about the victims' lives.
The aroma of hot coffee drew her attention back to the surface. She rubbed her eyes, and then a steaming hot, damp towel was placed in front of her.
Shen Zhenzhu looked up and saw that Xiaobai also looked haggard. Alas, poor child.
Xiao Bai whispered, "Sister Pearl, please don't mind. This is my own towel, and I scalded it with boiling water."
The steaming towel still smelled of baby face. Chen Zhenzhu took the towel and wiped her face carefully, smiling as she said, "I'm glad you don't mind."
After wiping her face with a hot towel, Chen Zhenzhu felt much more comfortable and thought to herself, "It's so good to be a girl."
Seeing that Shen Zhenzhu was receiving "special treatment," Lu Ye yawned and exclaimed, "Where's mine?"
Shen Zhenzhu handed the towel to Xiaobai and pointed to the coffee in front of him, saying, "There's no towel, but you can have the coffee. It's on you, Xiaobai."
Lu Ye laughed and said, "Look at you, so stingy, you're already protecting her."
"No, no." Xiao Bai immediately patted his pocket and said, "I brought a lot of instant coffee. Seniors, please have plenty! It's not from some small shop outside; my mom and I bought a brand-name one from a big department store!"
Lu Ye smiled and said in a good mood, "I can't let you pay out of your own pocket. After the case is solved, I'll treat you to a meal."
Xiao Bai was immediately delighted and said excitedly, "Great! There are so many delicious restaurants in Shen City! I'll take you there!"
The rich aroma of coffee washes away the weariness of the night, followed closely by a wave of fatigue.
Zhao Qiqi found nothing and said dejectedly, "I'll go back and take a shower to refresh myself before coming back."
Lu Ye downed his coffee in one gulp, surveyed the venue, and returned to say, "We've found new clues for Case No. 5, and secured a point ahead of schedule."
Chen Zhenzhu, still holding her coffee, continued flipping through the materials, saying without looking up, "It's still early."
Lu Ye laughed: "Yes, it's still early."
He didn't notice it last night either, having gone through the exhaustion of meticulously examining seemingly insignificant events, until his eyes were blurry from exhaustion.
“Brother Aqi, go back and get two or three hours of sleep. You need to drive during the day to visit other victims’ families. Brother Aye and I will catch up on sleep in the car.” Chen Zhenzhu finished her coffee and looked at Xiaobai apologetically: “Another cup, please.”
Xiao Bai enthusiastically took the cup containing the pearl to make coffee, and Lu Ye exclaimed upon seeing this, "This child is teachable."
Knowing he had a heavy responsibility as a driver, Zhao Qiqi nodded and said, "I'll come over in two hours. We'll have dinner and then leave."
Xiao Bai brought over some new coffee and thoughtfully added some creamer.
Shen Zhenzhu took a sip and smiled at Xiaobai.
About an hour later, Xiao Hongjun quietly took out a form and handed it to Shen Zhenzhu, saying, "Zhen, Sister Zhenzhu, here are the contact details I found based on the materials you've gathered. I found them through the Yellow Pages, but I'm not sure if they're correct..."
"Wow, this is a huge project. You're pretty fast!" Despite being exhausted herself, Shen Zhenzhu still tried to give everyone positive feedback.
This was the first time Xiao Hongjun had received praise from Shen Zhenzhu, and a smile finally appeared on her face.
In the sinking city seat, two police academy students were constantly making and receiving phone calls, seemingly having made a new discovery.
"Did this accountant lose the company's deposit slips before disappearing?" Shen Zhenzhu suddenly sat up straight, leaned towards Lu Ye, and pointed to the information in the record, saying, "It records here that a case was reported, but it was later closed. Can you ask the local police station for details?"
Lu Ye didn't know where Shen Zhenzhu had found this information. He flipped through the records, found the police station that handled the case, and quickly called them.
"It's not time for work yet." Lu Ye glanced at the large clock on the wall: "There's still half an hour."
Chen Zhenzhu pinched her aching nose. After a whole night of intense investigation, the documents on the table were taller than she was sitting. The case closure notice was only mentioned in a single sentence in the family's statement: "...the factory even said that public funds were missing and demanded compensation, so I called the police immediately..."
There's a saying among older generations about criminal cases: "Those who commit crimes are either after money or sex." While this is a rather general statement, it does reflect the reality of most criminal offenses.
Shen Zhenzhu kept in mind the eight-character mantra that Director Tu said: "The scene must be investigated and the clues must be followed." She paid special attention to disputes involving "money" and "sex."
She noticed this piece of information in the statements that had been overlooked by investigators in several rounds of interviews.
"Maybe, maybe..." Lu Ye had a wild intuition. He stood up and paced back and forth in front of his seat, anxiously waiting for the police station to start work.
Little Bai was so sleepy that she fell asleep on the table. She was woken up by his footsteps and said with teary eyes, "Have you found anything?"
As an assistant, this statement was a bit overstepping her bounds, but no matter how difficult the case was, Shen Zhenzhu had no reason to vent her anger on her subordinates. She calmly said, "We still need to ask around."
Xiao Bai immediately perked up. It was only the second day, and the "zero clues" streak was about to be broken?
After she understood the situation, her round face was full of confusion.
Is there a direct link between reporting a lost deposit certificate and a person going missing?
"The call went through!" Lu Ye covered the microphone and stood in front of Shen Zhenzhu to introduce himself.
The police station was unaware of the "grand competition," but upon Lu Ye's introduction, they realized the situation was urgent and quickly called the station chief to answer the phone.
"Yes, a report has been filed." The police chief recalled for a while, then hung up the phone and searched through the police report book from three years ago, looking for each report one by one. Finally, more than an hour later, he called back.
Lu Ye pressed the speakerphone button, and several people gathered around the landline to listen.
"The story goes like this: An elderly farmer in his sixties found a deposit slip and tried to withdraw it fraudulently. He was arrested on the spot at the savings bank. Later, when they found out that he had found it, they searched his home but found nothing else, so they released him."
Shen Zhenzhu hurriedly asked, "Was the person who reported the case named Ma Xiaoyan?"
"No, it was his wife who made a scene at the savings bank, saying he was trying to embezzle collective property." The other branch manager paused for a few seconds, looked at the registrant in the police report book, and said, "After he was arrested, the person who filed the report found the deposit slip and closed the case. I heard it was related to a missing person case, but no one came to investigate afterward, so we put it away."
Shen Zhenzhu asked, "Could you please provide me with the identity information of the person who fraudulently claimed the identity?"
The other director gave the address and then said, "His name is Zhao Tianshan, from Tuanjie Village, Hongmei County. Leader, will this affect our unit's annual performance evaluation?"
Lu Ye said, "You're too kind. It won't bother us. We're just here to investigate the missing persons case and get some information. If you have any more clues, you can call us anytime."
"Oh, okay, thank you for your hard work, leaders." Knowing that it wouldn't affect the performance evaluation, the phone call from the provincial capital wasn't so scary anymore.
After hanging up the phone, Xiaobai had already brought over breakfast: "Old Four Seasons pulled noodles and smoked chicken frames, as well as oven-baked flatbread and beef fritters. We arrived early, so we got everything!"
The beef fritters are similar to small sesame cakes, crispy on the outside and filled with minced beef. Xiao Bai said that the ones at the provincial department were made by chefs from Tieling, which made Chen Zhenzhu and the others eat two more.
“Let’s go to Tuanjie Village first and find Zhao Tianshan, who fraudulently claimed the deposit certificate.” Chen Zhenzhu rubbed her hands together, her eyes shining: “What kind of good person would someone who fraudulently claims a missing person’s deposit certificate be?”
"He might be the murderer!" Zhao Qiqi's timing was perfect. After finishing his hamburger and with a big fried dough stick in his mouth, he was about to open the Cherokee door when Chen Zhenzhu quickly stopped him: "Wipe your hands before touching the car!"
Zhao Qiqi took the tissue and wiped her face, then said with a smile, "I almost forgot, this car belongs to the boss's wife."
Lu Ye was still in good spirits after breakfast. He got into the car and said, "It's already good enough that we were able to get out of here. Please be careful."
Chen Zhenzhu was sitting in the back seat. Zhao Qiqi saw her in the rearview mirror and asked, "Aren't you going to sit in the front passenger seat?"
Shen Zhenzhu said, "The back is spacious, so we can sit next to each other and talk for a while."
Zhao Qiqi believed her and said, "Okay, let's go!"
It takes an hour and a half to get from Shenyang to Hongmei County, and about twenty minutes to get from Hongmei County to Tuanjie Village. The distance isn't actually far, but the roads are muddy. About halfway through the journey, spring rain started, and stones emerged from the mud, leaving deep ruts.
The Cherokee slowed down as it drove along a country road, and saw slogans along the roadside that read "Welcome the Peach Blossom Festival" and "Build a United Village Together".
"Looks like things are developing well. A village can even hold a peach blossom festival." Lu Ye dozed off for a while, then woke up as the vehicle swayed. He turned his head and saw Chen Zhenzhu staring wide-eyed out the window. He had to admire her energy; she seemed to have a tireless engine.
Although I'm exhausted from working on this project, I feel I can manage this time, having learned from my previous 48-hour workday. Considering the long-term nature of things, I can go back to the guesthouse and get a good night's sleep after today.
They had called the Tuanjie Village Committee beforehand, and a middle-aged cadre named Sun Suisui stood at the village entrance to greet them. She waved vigorously at them, with a basket of wild vegetables hanging on her wrist.
The village committee has its own way of receiving leaders from the city. They've definitely had enough of the big meals, so they prepare some wild vegetables and game, which is sure to be praised.
Whether they come to inspect, conduct checks, or handle cases, treat everyone equally to save money.
Chen Zhenzhu opened the car door and invited her to get in: "Sister Sun, thank you for waiting outside in the rain."
Sun Suisui took off her raincoat, crumpled it up, and stuffed it under her feet, saying in a simple and honest manner, "It's nothing. You must be tired from your journey. Come to my house for dinner first. I've prepared a welcome feast for everyone, as well as peach blossom wine, a specialty of our Tuanjie Village."
Lu Ye declined, saying, "We're here to investigate a case, so we can't drink alcohol. We're mainly here to gather information before heading back to the provincial capital."
Sun Suisui said, "I know you're handling cases, but Zhao Tianshan is dead, what's the point of knowing anything about the situation?"
Shen Zhenzhu, Lu Ye, and Zhao Qiqi exclaimed in unison, "Dead!?"
“What’s so strange about that?” Sun Suisui thought the city cadres were making a fuss over nothing. She pointed to the road ahead and said, “We have a saying here, ‘The 63rd year of the Tai Sui’, which is a life-threatening hurdle. If Zhao Tianshan hadn’t made it, he would have died. If he had, he would have lived to 72 without any problem. ‘At 72 and 84, the King of Hell doesn’t need to invite you, but you’ll go on your own’ are two more hurdles. If you can get past those, you can live to be 100.”
"Is there anyone else in his family?" Chen Zhenzhu wasn't interested in these questions and went straight to the point: "His wife? His children?"
Sun Suisui said, "Yes, my daughter-in-law, son, and daughter-in-law all live next door to me."
She looked troubled and said, "His son and daughter-in-law are very filial, but the old woman has a lot of faults. She's always cursing and swearing, and the things she says are as nasty as can be."
Shen Zhenzhu asked, "Are you aware of Zhao Tianshan's fraudulent withdrawal of the deposit slips?"
Sun Suisui said, "Yes, I know. It's all over the village. People are saying that his wife stood up for her family and didn't bring shame to Tuanjie Village. The village committee even gave them a reward of thirty yuan, but they refused it. If you know their family is so poor, no one would say anything even if they accepted it."
Shen Zhenzhu asked, "How did Zhao Tianshan die?"
“Turn left ahead and my house is there.” Sun Suisui pointed out the way, then turned her head and saw Chen Zhenzhu. While admiring her youth, she replied, “She died of anger. The villagers pointed at him and didn’t like him. The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he died of anger on his kang (a heated brick bed).
