It was around three o'clock in the afternoon, in front of the house, where the sun was shining, there were old people basking in the sun, and children were having fun.

Gao Luo's house is located in the middle of a row of residential buildings. Unlike many others who rent the first floor to shoe manufacturers and sellers, Gao Luo's house does not have the name of any shoe factory.

In the four-story house, the doors on the first floor were closed, and the lights on the second floor were brightly lit.Through the half-open window, a figure could be faintly seen inside.

"It's a woman." Song Buzhi thought, "It's still a woman of a certain age."

The policeman from the police station gave a "huh" and asked strangely, "Why is there someone in the house?"

Discipline turned his head to look at Song Buzhi, motioning for him to follow.

Song Buzhi rubbed his nose, feeling very suspicious, discipline had already seen something from him.

After all, since he returned to normal, he has often been able to meet the discipline's gaze.

—he was watching him.

This thought clearly appeared in Song Buzhi's mind.

but……

Even if it was observed that there was something wrong with him, so what.

Song Buzhi couldn't help thinking proudly: "I have supernatural powers, you can't guess it no matter how much you try."

Outside the house on the right of Gao Luo's house, there is a grandma basking in the sun.Grandma sat on the stool, leaning against the pillar, half-closed her eyes, enjoying it very much.

Discipline passed, squatting in front of grandma.

Song Buzhi was surprised to find that discipline's expression at this time could be called amiable.

"Grandma, we are the police." Although the two of them were not wearing police uniforms, the police at the police station wore them, and anyone with eyes could see them at a glance, so the discipline simply said, "Next to your house, this is Gao Luo's house ?"

Grandma is getting old, her reaction is slow, and she seems to be a little deaf. She didn't respond to the word "policeman", but reacted to the name "Gao Luo".

"Gao Luo?" Grandma murmured, "Oh, you mean Lao Gao..."

"Yes, Lao Gao." Discipline said, "Did Lao Gao live here before?"

Grandma turned her neck, looked at the closed door next to the house, and said, "Yes, Lao Gao, we used to be neighbors. It's a pity... Lao Gao, we just left..."

Grandma sighed deeply, with a very regretful expression on her face, she said: "Lao Gao is a good person... My son and daughter are not at home all the year round, and sometimes when we encounter difficulties, Lao Gao takes care of me." ...I didn't expect such a good person...to be gone just like that..."

Grandma spoke very slowly, and Discipline listened quietly.After hearing her finish speaking, she continued to ask: "Grandma, do you know who Lao Gao has relatives and friends in the village?"

Grandma probably didn't hear clearly, so she talked about the fire that year: "Back then, it was night, I came back from a walk with Grandma Zhang who was opposite, and we were about to enter the house, and we saw the direction of the shoe factory. , the sky was red and red. Granny Zhang slapped her thigh and said, "It's broken, it's on fire." We hurried over and saw, hey, it really caught fire!"

"Other people nearby were also attracted by the fire... The fire was really big, and Grandma Zhang and I were far away, and we felt scorching hot... Lao Gao stayed in it for so long, how hot it must be …After the fire engine arrived, it took a whole hour to put it out…The shoe factory is gone, and Lao Gao is gone too…”

"Young man," Grandma raised her hand and patted Discipline on the shoulder, "you have to be careful in the future, this fire is really terrible... It burned a person alive... It's okay now, the village Fire safety is emphasized every day, and every household that makes shoes and rents out checks..."

Even the word "fire safety" was uttered by an old man in his seventies and eighties, which shows that Xiali Village is really investigating the fire safety now and publicizing it widely.

Discipline responded with "yes" a few times, and asked again: "Grandma, do you know if Lao Gao has any acquaintances?"

Grandma seemed to understand clearly this time, but what she said was a bit strange.I only heard her say: "When Lao Gao came to our village, he was in his twenties, not even in his thirties. He was a very handsome young man. Although he brought a son alone, there are many young girls in our village. I still fell in love with him, and among them was the village flower of our village at that time... But it's strange, Lao Gao didn't even look down on the village flower, and I didn't see him getting close to any girl's family... There was one The relationship is quite good. I used to see them eating and drinking together...here, he is the owner of the shoe factory where he works, is he released from prison now? What's his name..."

Both Discipline and Song Buzhi were taken aback. When I went to Zhenmei shoe factory just now, I didn't hear Mr. Li mention this news.

The former owner of a large shoe factory had a good relationship with Gao Luo?

How good is it?

Discipline asked again: "Grandma, is there anyone living in Gao's house now?"

"Lao Gao has a son, he is white and tender, and he looks great." Grandma fell into memories, "I remember that when he was young, he was often sick, so he was nicknamed 'Sick Lady'. It's really a bastard, every time I see someone, I call it that. This is also because Binbin has a good temper, and whoever has a bad temper will beat him up."

"Will Gao Bin come back now?" Discipline changed the question.

"Binbin is in a big city now, right? When Lao Gao was still there, I heard him say that their family Binbin is very promising. He has been admitted to university and studied medicine. He will be a great doctor in the future. So is Binbin. What a good boy, Lao Gao has passed away for so many years, this house is still kept, not for sale, and someone is hired to clean it regularly." Granny raised her head, pointed to the upstairs, "It's the Chinese New Year, isn't it? Binbin hired someone to clean again..."

Song Buzhi looked up, and the room on the second floor was still brightly lit.From this angle, it is impossible to tell whether there is anyone in the room.

Discipline thanked Grandma, stood up, and walked towards Gao's house.

Discipline first knocked on the door, but there was no response from the room.

Song Buzhi said: "Hey, Team Ji, you're on the second floor, you might not hear the knock on the door, why don't you yell louder?"

Discipline glanced at him and gave him the seat in front of the door: "You come."

Song Buzhi had question marks all over his face: "Huh?"

At this moment, the policeman from the police station said: "Hey, no, Officer Ji, this is not very good. The owner is not here, so we just go in like this. Isn't it equivalent to trespassing on a private house? In case of complaints, I don't want to... "

The policeman scratched his head with a troubled expression on his face.

Discipline also glanced at him, but this time, it was much colder.

"Six years ago, there was a problem with the case of a fire in a shoe factory." Disciplinary said.

The policeman let out an "ah" and said blankly, "Problem? What's the problem? Hey, Officer Ji, isn't this just an accident where the shoe factory caught fire due to inadequate fire protection? Can this still be a criminal case?"

Discipline twitched the corner of his mouth: "What do you think?"

The police looked at him cautiously, and thought about it: "Didn't all the accidents happen in the city and provinces at that time, and the experts sent by the above also came to the conclusion of the accident..."

Discipline sneered, and without saying a word, he glanced at Song Buzhi again.

Song Buzhi pointed to himself: "Me? Oh, I also think Team Ji is right."

——Although I don’t know how Team Ji felt that there was a problem with the fire that year.

However, Song Buzhi did think there was something wrong with the fire that year, first of all the gold watch on Mr. Li's wrist.

Song Buzhi lowered his eyes to hide certain emotions, and when he raised his head again, he smiled at Discipline, then stretched out his hand, knocked heavily on the door, and shouted, "Is anyone there? Police!"

Song Buzhi's voice was louder than Discipline's. The cleaner upstairs obviously heard it, and a vague voice could be heard from inside the room.

After a while, hurried footsteps came from behind the door, and then the door was opened.

An aunt dressed as a part-time worker appeared in front of them.

"You are..." Auntie Cleaning looked suspiciously between the three of them, and when she saw the police uniforms worn by the police from the police station, she was startled, "Police?"

The policeman at the police station had no choice but to show his ID, then coughed lightly and said, "Hi, is it convenient for us to go in and talk?"

Although the workers were still working in the afternoon, there were quite a few old people, children and housewives staying at home. They stood outside for a long time, and they had already attracted the attention of others.The police at the police station felt that there was no need to make a big fuss about discipline, so they didn't want to "shame others" outside.

Aunt Cleaning invited them in hesitantly.

The first floor didn't seem to have been cleaned. At first glance, the concrete floor was dusty, and the cabinet next to the wall was also covered with a layer of dust.

After a few questions, they already had a general understanding of the situation of the cleaning lady.She was invited by Gao Bin to clean the house once a month for five years.

"Comrade policeman," Aunt Baojie said anxiously, "I didn't do anything wrong, did I? Did something happen to my family or friends?"

Disciplinary said "It's okay", and then asked: "Every time you come to clean, Gao Bin is not there?"

The cleaning aunt shook her head: "Not here. Mr. Gao left a key in our company, so he doesn't have to come here in person."

Song Buzhi smiled and said jokingly: "Isn't he afraid that his things will be stolen?"

The cleaning aunt was taken aback, and then anxiously argued: "We are a regular company, and we are all qualified people. How could we do such a sneaky thing?! Comrade police, you can't talk nonsense!"

Song Buzhi: "Just kidding, kidding, sister, don't be angry."

Aunt Baojie was old enough to be Song Buzhi's mother. At this time, she was called "sister" by him, and Aunt Baojie couldn't get angry immediately, and her face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Discipline threw a sharp eye at Song Buzhi, and then asked the cleaning aunt: "Is it convenient for us to go up and take a look around?"

"This..." Aunt Baojie hesitated, "Mr. Gao is not at home after all..."

Song Buzhi quickly put on a serious face, and said, "Sister, Mr. Gao Luo's death was suspicious. We are here to re-investigate."

"Didn't he be burned to death?" Aunt Baojie was startled, "Is there any hidden secret?"

Discipline didn't say anything, and the police at the police station didn't know what to say, so Song Buzhi gave a vague "hmm".

"Sister, how about this, let's go up, and you will watch from the side, we promise to just take a look and not do anything else, okay?" Song Buzhi said again.

Finally, the cleaning aunt agreed and took them upstairs.

"This room is Mr. Gao's former bedroom." The room on the south side of the second floor is the room that Auntie Cleaning was cleaning before she came down.

"Just take a look, don't move things around." Aunt Cleaning explained worriedly.

"Sister, we know." Song Buzhi replied with a smile.

The bedroom is an ordinary bedroom. A 1.8-meter bed is placed in the middle of the room. There are no sheets, quilts and other items on the bed. There is an old lamp on the bedside table.Opposite the bed is a TV cabinet, on which there is an old TV.The TV cabinet was opened, but there was nothing inside.There was also nothing in the closet next to the bed.

The room on the north side of the second floor is even more empty, except for a three-seater wooden sofa, there is a cold marble floor.

They went to the third floor.

The room on the south side of the third floor is Gao Bin's previous room.
