Chapter 83: No Daylight 12 Just Be Patient and It Will Pass
Chapter 12
“Why don’t you reply to my message?”
"Why can't you remember that you are not allowed to talk to other men? Why can't you remember?"
The man grabbed the woman's neck fiercely and said, "Why can't you be more honest? I shouldn't have agreed to let you go out to work in the first place."
When the woman was about to die, he let go of her hand and gently stroked her face, "As long as you listen to me, how could I hurt you?"
"brute--"
The man kissed the woman and whispered in her ear, "If I had known I would not have been sterilized. We would have had a lot of babies, one a year, and you would not have known other men."
"Pervert." The woman cursed.
The man chuckled: "You forced me to do this. Have I been bad to you? Why do you always want to have an affair?"

"Has Zhou Qian never called the police again since then?" Lu Changfeng asked.
The other party nodded: "Yes, the rape accusation was the last time Zhou Qian called the police."
"Where is Zhou Qian now?"
"We are already on our way back. We should be here this afternoon or evening."
Lu Changfeng said "oh" and turned to look at Yue Fanglin: "What does Captain Yue think?"
Yue Fanglin said: "We can only determine the cause of Chu Yang's death after the autopsy report comes out."
"Have you seen the surveillance footage brought back from Chu Yang's neighborhood?"
"It's too late." The police officer who went to retrieve the surveillance video said: "There is a lot of content. It looks like it may take some time."
"Let's divide it up later and watch it together." Yue Fanglin looked at the other party.
Tao Zheng looked at the policeman sitting at the end: "Xiao Du, have you found any suspicious persons during your investigation in the community?"
Xiao Du said, "No, their community is a high-end community. Owners need to scan their faces or fingerprints to enter and exit. When the delivery guy outside enters the community, the owner needs to help open the door for confirmation. The express delivery is in the express cabinet in the unit building. If a stranger wants to enter the community, he must leave his contact information, name and the floor he wants to visit. I have taken a photo of the registration list and printed it out, and I am planning to check with the owners one by one."
"Did any of the neighbors hear anything?"
Xiao Du still shook his head: "The sound insulation in their community is very good. The neighbors said they didn't hear any noise at all."
"What do the neighbors think of the couple?"
"Neighbors on the same floor said they were not familiar with them, and they were rarely seen talking in the property management group. The family was very low-key in the building, and if we occasionally met in the elevator, they would just nod to each other."
"Zhou Qian called the police several times. With so much noise, how could they not know anything at all?" Lu Changfeng found it strange. Zhou Qian called the police at night when most people were at home. How could the neighbors be completely unaware of the police car arriving in the community?
Xiao Du explained: "The family owns more than one house in Yicheng. The house they live in now is a new one, which was delivered at the end of the year before last. This community is deeply connected with the kindergarten next door. It is a school district house. The kindergarten next door is bilingual education and is the best kindergarten in Yicheng. Many people are scrambling to send their children to this school. The tuition alone is 80,000 yuan a year."
"So expensive?" Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue were both surprised.
Others were also more or less surprised, but as locals, they knew what the situation was with this kindergarten.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue are both ordinary people from ordinary families, earning ordinary salaries. They received compulsory education until junior high school, and their tuition for high school was less than a few thousand yuan a year. The tuition for the police academy in college was free, and they only had to pay for tuition, accommodation, and living expenses.
"Do these two people have a high income level?" he asked.
"Middle income." Xiao Du said: "Zhou Qian works in finance and earns about 80,000 yuan a year, and Chu Yang earns 150,000 yuan a year."
"The two of them together earn more than 200,000 yuan a year, which is pretty good."
Xiao Du shook his head: "The monthly mortgage for the house they live in is 8,000. The water, electricity and living expenses add up to 5,000 a month at least."
"How much is his house per square meter? It's so expensive."
"35,000 per square meter. Their house is 120 square meters."
Lu Changfeng: “…”
Jing Jue calculated and was very confused: "Chu Yang's salary is only enough for the mortgage and living expenses, and Zhou Qian's salary is all used to pay for her son's tuition. This is still very difficult. Where do they get the spare money to help Zhou Qian's mother's family?"
"They don't have money, but Chu Yang's parents do. Their combined pensions are more than 10,000 yuan a month. They also bought commercial pension insurance. Their combined commercial pensions are about 10,000 yuan a month. The old couple owns four houses in Yicheng. When they bought them, they cost more than 1,000 yuan per square meter. Now those houses are resold for at least 10,000 yuan per square meter. They are all school district houses."
"It would be a shame if these old couple didn't go into business with their brains." Even people like Yue Fanglin, who grew up in Yancheng, where every inch of land is worth a lot of money, think that these old couple are amazing.
Those who dared to hoard houses more than ten or twenty years ago, and bought houses in school districts, were simply very skilled and daring.
"These old couple are really amazing. When land in the town was still tradeable, they bought land and built a villa in the town for their retirement." Xiao Du said: "Now the land in the town is not allowed to be traded."
"Which house did Zhou Qian and her husband live in before?" Lu Changfeng asked.
"The Garden Community." Xiao Du said, "The schools there are also very good. The kindergartens, elementary schools, and middle schools are all the best schools in Yicheng. Every year, parents really try their best to get their children into the school."
Lu Changfeng wrote it down, "Okay, then let's go to the Garden Community and do a field visit to see if the people in the community have any influence on their family."
Yue Fanglin said: "I won't go. Zhou Yu and I will stay to help watch the surveillance."
"good."
The information Xiao Du found was relatively detailed, so Tao Zheng assigned him to be Lu Changfeng's driver and took Lu Changfeng and others on the investigation.
The elderly people living in some of the local old communities can't speak Mandarin very well, and outsiders like Lu Changfeng can't understand the local dialect at all, so they need Xiao Du to act as an interpreter for them.
The Yicheng dialect can be said to be one of the most difficult dialects to understand. There are slight differences in the dialect between villages, and it is completely different between people in a town.
The community security guard wanted to register their information. As soon as he opened his mouth, Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue were both confused and could not understand what the other person was saying at all.
Fortunately, Xiao Du understood and showed his police officer ID. The security guard let him pass and found the community management office, where he found out the apartment building where they originally lived.
Xiao Du led them to inquire from house to house. There is one advantage to having many elderly people in the community, which is that gossip spreads very quickly.
A group of old men and women gathered downstairs playing cards and eating sunflower seeds. When they heard that they were here to investigate the case, they came over quickly and patted their chests, saying that there was nothing they didn't know.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue didn't understand a word they were saying.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue said, "If I had known, I wouldn't have come. It's useless to come. I can't understand a word you say."
An old lady was holding Jing Jue's hand and talking about something incoherently. Jing Jue looked for help at Xiao Du who was standing beside the old lady to understand the situation. Xiao Du took the time to translate for Jing Jue: "The old lady asked if you are in a relationship, how old you are, and who is in your family. She knows a lot of beautiful girls. If you don't have a partner, she can introduce you to one."
Xiao Du told the old lady that these were all people from other places and she couldn't understand what they were saying.
Grandma told Xiao Du a lot of things.
Xiao Du told the two people: "Grandma said that you are tall and handsome, so the betrothal gift can be reduced."
"Thank grandma for me, and tell her I'm married."
Xiao Du conveyed the message to grandma.
Jing Jue blinked at Lu Changfeng.
The old lady pointed at Lu Changfeng and asked Xiao Du.
Lu Changfeng roughly guessed it and said to Xiao Du: "Tell her that my child is in elementary school."
When you are away from home, your identity is given by yourself.
After Xiao Du finished speaking, the old lady instantly lost interest in them and sat down to continue eating melon seeds.
Xiao Du showed them a photo of the family of three.
After watching it, these old ladies started to provide clues one after another. They were so enthusiastic.
Xiao Du soon figured out the situation. Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue stood together with their arms folded, unable to help at all.
Xiao Du relayed the story to the two people: "The grandmas said that Chu Yang has a bad temper. He keeps a close eye on his wife and never lets her chat with strange men. He also quarrels and fights with Zhou Qian and throws things from time to time."
"But Zhou Qian only called the police three times."
Xiao Du said, "That's because these three incidents were too serious, almost fatal, and Zhou Qian called the police herself. The people upstairs and downstairs were just there to watch the fun, and no one wanted to get into trouble. After all, Chu Yang looked like a madman."
Lu Changfeng: “…”
"The old lady said that their children were often frightened and cried loudly. Zhou Qian has few friends and rarely gets close to people in the community. She spends most of her time taking care of the children, buying groceries and cooking. She never chats with these old ladies."
There are many differences between what these old ladies said and what Chu Yang's parents said.
But the similarity is that Chu Yang has a very strong desire for control. He doesn't like Zhou Qian to have contact with strange men, and he even doesn't want Zhou Qian to have contact with strangers. It's not like what they say that he is completely reluctant to fight with Zhou Qian. In a place where her parents can't see, Zhou Qian has no idea how many beatings and kicks she has endured.
"Why doesn't Zhou Qian get a divorce?"
After the old lady answered, Xiao Du relayed it to Lu Changfeng, "They say that women don't all go through this, just bear with it and it will pass. Every couple has fights when they are young."
Lu Changfeng: “…”
"Zhou Qian was beaten unilaterally, and she didn't fight with Chu Yang."
She was the one who was injured when calling the police several times. The fact that she had a concussion showed that he did not use light blows.
After Xiao Du relayed the story, one of the old ladies finished speaking and Xiao Du fell silent.
Lu Changfeng could also hear some clues from the other party's tone.
"My grandmother said that if you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; if you marry a dog, you follow the dog. Divorce is too shameful."
Lu Changfeng: "Ask her, what if it was her daughter who was beaten?"
After Xiao Du asked, the old lady stopped talking.
Lu Changfeng sighed helplessly.
If someone else's daughter is subjected to domestic violence, they will divorce and be ashamed. But if your own daughter is subjected to domestic violence, that is absolutely unacceptable.
It is natural for a son to beat his wife, but it is a capital crime for a son-in-law to beat his daughter. It is considered a joke if someone else beats his daughter-in-law.
Everyone has such double standards. How can this society become better?
After leaving the community, Lu Changfeng asked Xiao Du: "Do you know where Zhou Qian's home is?"
Xiao Du said: "I live in town."
"It's still early. Take us to her parents' home to find out more about the situation."
