Chapter 64 Mother-Daughter Cooperation (23)
The phone was compensated, but Meng Ying herself had no use for it, and it was a new phone, so she felt heartbroken.
But no one cares so much. If you hadn't thrown your phone, how could you have ended up without a phone to use?
But she can't do without her mobile phone, because she has to read the messages in the group, and she also has to keep in touch with the outside world.
Just as Meng Ying was frantically spinning in circles, a man from another household knocked on her door and asked, "I have an old phone that I just replaced. It's fine except for the memory and battery. I'd like to trade it for two packs of instant noodles. Do you want one?"
Of course Meng Ying didn't want it, but her pockets were empty and she didn't even have a replacement phone. So she could only grit her teeth and take out two packs of instant noodles to exchange for the old phone.
Although the phone was old, it still had all the functions it should have. However, the battery that the man mentioned was really not good. This phone needed to be charged almost every two hours, and that was when it was not in use. Once it was in use, it could run out of power at any time. She had just fully charged the phone and did nothing but check the group messages. It automatically turned off in just half an hour.
Meng Ying rolled her eyes in anger, but having a cell phone was better than not having one. She took a deep breath and suppressed her anger. When the mall was open for business as usual, the first thing she would replace was the broken cell phone in her hand.
But as to whether there will be that opportunity, it depends on what Meng Ying can come up with. In short, it is definitely not possible to buy it now.
…
Since the address Meng Ying got was quite far away, she couldn't go to these places without any means of transportation. After that, she and Ren's mother discussed it and finally had no choice but to call the police to resolve the problem.
Ren Xing disappeared from their side, so Meng Ying had to report to the police herself, and then this matter was related to Lan Jin.
Although Meng Ying and Lan Jin were not from the same residential complex, the two communities belonged to the same police station. So, when the police heard Lan Jin's name, almost all of them stopped moving. Why? Lan was a relatively uncommon surname, and two people had died in Building 12, who were more or less related to Lan Jin. So when Meng Ying mentioned it, weren't the police stunned?
At this moment, they also took this matter seriously.
After the police officers took notes, they said, "Okay, we'll check on the situation. You can go back and wait for news."
Meng Ying had no choice but to return home, and not long after, the police came directly to Lan Jin's house.
When the door to the inner floor opened, Lan Jin was surprised to see so many familiar faces. She opened the door and asked, "Hello, police officer. Why are you here again? Is there anything I can help you with?"
As for Lan Jin's calm and composed demeanor, they really didn't see any problem.
After the group sat down on the sofa, the police casually said, "We're here to pay a return visit. We also want to ask you about someone. Do you know Ren Xing?"
At this time, Lan Jin was pouring water for several police officers with cups. It would have been fine if she had not entertained them before because of the water and electricity restrictions at home, but now that there were no restrictions at all, it would have been impolite not to even pour them a glass of water.
Looking at Lan Jin who was busy working, several police officers hurriedly said, "Don't be so polite. We will be leaving soon. No need to greet us."
Lan Jin took the water directly from the refrigerator and poured it in. After she finished pouring it, she came to the police and said as she poured the water, "I know him. He's my ex-husband. But how do you know Ren Xing? I don't think I mentioned his name before."
At this point, Lan Jin pretended to have thought of something and said, "My ex-mother-in-law called me yesterday to ask if Ren Xing had come to see me. Is there something wrong with Ren Xing? Maybe she couldn't contact Ren Xing and thought I was hiding him. I can't hide such a big person."
The police officers didn't directly answer her question, but continued to ask, "Did Ren Xing come to see you?"
"No, and when I moved out, I didn't tell him where I was moving to, so how could he find me? I blocked all her and that mistress's phone numbers, and no one could get through to them." Lan Jin had mentioned her and Ren Xing's situation to the police before, and she had received quite sympathy at the time, so Lan Jin's simple mention reminded the police of this trivial matter.
The ex-husband and his mistress deliberately rented a house opposite his ex-wife. If it were them, they would move out without saying a word. Who would leave an address for these two people? So it is normal that they don't know where Lan Jin lives.
The police thought for a moment and then asked, "Do they know the address of your house?"
Lan Jin replied, "Ren Xing definitely knew. Although I bought the house, I had to go to work, so Ren Xing looked after the renovations. After the house was finished, I asked him to rent it out, but the location was so weird that no one rented it, and then he just left it alone. As for whether Ren Xing told Meng Ying, I don't know."
When Meng Ying reported the case, she provided them with the addresses of three properties, but this address was not mentioned among these three addresses. It seems that Meng Ying really didn't know about this place.
But Lan Jin said that Ren Xing had never been here, so who could testify for him?
The police thought of Lan Jin's child and said, "Don't lock her up in the room. Let her out first. She'll be scared if she stays alone."
Lan Jin's mouth twitched in her heart. When she came to record Ren Siqiao's confession before, she also locked him in the room. These people never said that Ren Siqiao would be afraid of being alone. To put it bluntly, they just wanted to record his confession, but Ren Siqiao's mouth was so tight that he would not say anything he shouldn't say. So she immediately took Ren Siqiao out of the room.
When Ren Siqiao came out, she was still a little confused, but she was never shy about strangers, so she immediately greeted these familiar yet unfamiliar police officers, "Hello, brother, sister."
"Hello, little friend." After saying that, the police officer glanced at Lan Jin and asked Ren Siqiao, "Qiaoqiao, you live alone with your mother, do you miss your father?"
When Ren Siqiao heard this question, he immediately glanced at Lan Jin and replied, "I don't want to."
The police officer asked curiously, "Why not? That's your father. Have you seen him recently?"
Ren Siqiao looked up at the police officer, then shook his head and said, "No, my father beat me. I don't like her, and my aunt doesn't like her either. She scolded me."
Upon hearing this, the police officers became serious. "Your name is Qiao Qiao, right? Are you saying you haven't seen your father recently?"
