Sparrow God Reborn

Hao Meng stared at the framed candy paper and couldn't recover.

"Don't you want to drink water?" Someone asked him behind him, Hao Meng turned around, Yan Ze had already dried her hair and came out, she said she had dried her hair, but in fact it was not too dry, half dry and not wet.Hao Meng really wanted to ask him about this candy wrapper, but felt unable to ask, so she held back and changed the subject.

He asked, "What happened to the two witnesses you mentioned yesterday?"

Yan Ze took out the baked bread from the bread machine and buttoned his shirt with one hand, which seemed inconvenient. Hao Meng walked over, and Yan Ze waved the bread in his hand to him.

Hao Meng thought for a while, then lowered her head to Yan Ze's hand and took a bite of his bread.

Yan Ze paused for a moment with a cheerful expression, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Didn't you let me taste your breakfast?" Hao Meng said, "It's delicious."

Yan Ze looked at the bread in his hand, stuffed the bread into Hao Meng's mouth, and said, "Eat well."

Hao Meng held the bread in her mouth, watched Yan Ze lower her head to fasten the buttons, and then realized that Yan Ze wanted him to help carry it.Ah, it's really obsessive-compulsive disorder, can't you hold it by yourself?

He swallowed the bread in his mouth and couldn't wait to ask: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Yan Ze picked up a piece of bread again, sat down on the sofa while eating, and said, "Those two people, one was not from the local area, but was a part-time worker in Haiqiao City, and left when the temporary contract expired. Haiqiao City has no A friend who is very close to him, so I don’t know where he is now. There is another person who is a local, but died of terminal liver cancer half a year ago.” He poured a glass of milk for Hao Meng: “What are you going to do now? ?”

"Which of the two people is missing? Which one is dead?"

Yanze seemed a little surprised that Hao Meng would ask such a question. After thinking about it, he said, "The missing one was called Li Wei, and he delivered food to someone in a restaurant in Haiqiao City a year ago. The dead one was called Gao Yongfu, an electrician, and Tian Qingfu On the day of the murder, Gao Yongfu was repairing Tian Qingfu's electrical circuit downstairs." Yan Ze asked Hao Meng, "What happened the day Tian Qingfu died?"

what is the problem?

Now that Hao Meng recalled what happened that day, she felt that it was unreal.

At that time, just after the new year, Mao Yihu's funeral was also handled cleanly. He planned to leave the professional circle after playing the last game. Anyway, he has not signed with any team for the time being, and his status is still very free. .

It was getting dark very early that night, Tian Qingfu called him, he didn't want to answer it at first, Tian Qingfu saw that he would not deal with it anyway, but thought that it was the last game anyway, and everyone would not see each other in the future, speaking of it, Tian Qingfu Although the medals are very old-fashioned, it is quite interesting to study carefully.

Thinking about it now, he should have felt something was wrong back then.

Tian Qingfu didn't speak to him in a distasteful tone that day, he only said that he had an important matter to tell him, and asked Ding Yuan to go to his house, and he wanted to talk to Ding Yuan.

After thinking about it, Hao Meng agreed.It's just that when he arrived at Tian Qingfu's house, he found that the gate of Tian Qingfu's house was ajar. When he entered, he saw Tian Qingfu lying in a pool of blood in the bedroom.

He didn't quite understand what happened afterwards. Before he had time to call an ambulance, someone pushed in the door again... Then, he was accused of murdering Tian Qingfu out of nowhere.

Among the two witnesses, one was a food delivery man, saying that he saw Ding Yuan enter Tian Qingfu's apartment building with a grumpy expression, and the electrician named Gao Yongfu even said that he heard Ding Yuan and Tian Qingfu's dispute.

How is this possible?Hao Meng knew that this person must have lied.But why he lied, why he was framed, and who was behind the scenes, he didn't know anything.This passive situation was very embarrassing, and all the evidence was against him.

In fact, even if he hadn't died in prison at that time, it is still unknown whether the truth of this case will be revealed in the end.

"Your complexion is not very good." Yan Ze reminded him, "What happened?"

"I...I just thought about my senior brother, and I'm not in a good mood." Hao Meng said, "Can you believe me, those two witnesses are lying. When my senior brother went in, Lao Que Sheng had already been killed."

Yan Ze nodded.

"Do you really believe me?" Hao Meng asked.

"There is no news from Li Wei's side. Gao Yongfu is a local, so it's relatively easy to check. I found out a very interesting thing."

Hao Meng's heart was lifted tightly, and he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Gao Yongfu's family conditions are not very good. He has a daughter who is a single mother with a child. The child had a disease before and the family has no money for surgery. The news I inquired is that the child has died. Healed up, the operation was performed half a year ago, to be precise, the operation was performed not long after Gao Yongfu died."

"Although it looks the same as before, the life of the Gao family is much better now than before." He looked at Hao Meng: "Do you know what I mean?"

"Someone gave the Gao family a sum of money after Gao Yongfu's death?" Hao Meng asked.

"You can think about it a bit more. Gao Yongfu raised a sum of money for his family before he died. The price for getting this money is to testify against Ding Yuan in court."

Hao Meng stood up abruptly.

He asked: "Does Gao Yongfu know that he is sick?"

"The Gao family doesn't know, but Gao Yongfu must know." Yan Ze said: "Because Gao Yongfu has already started to arrange the affairs of the funeral a long time ago."

He clearly understands that he has not much time left, and originally wanted to hide it from his wife and daughter, but an opportunity suddenly appeared in front of him, as long as he told a lie, one lie, what he got would temporarily solve the embarrassing situation of his wife and daughter after his death.

What will Gao Yongfu do?

People always have to think about themselves and their families.

Hao Meng recalled Gao Yongfu's appearance, he was probably wearing a washed-up whitish blue overalls, with chapped skin on his hands, looking at the hardships of life.He rubbed his hands embarrassingly, and said those words that were unfavorable to Ding Yuan.It is the image of such an honest person that makes the words more credible.

At that time, Gao Yongfu already knew that he was going to die?Before dying, simply fulfill one last wish, even if it is against conscience?It's ridiculous and sad.

Yan Ze opened the coffee table drawer and took out a black leather notebook. He opened the notebook, took out a note, handed it to Ding Yuan, and said, "The current address of the Gao family."

Hao Meng took it over, collected herself, read the note carefully twice, thought for a while, and said, "I want to go and have a look."

Yan Ze was not at all surprised when he said that, and nodded: "Go."

"You go with me."

Yan Ze was inexplicable: "Why should I go?"

Hao Meng racked her brains and couldn't think of a reason why Yanze had to go. Suddenly, she thought of Yanyang's cold joke, and said, "Because I'm so cute."

Yan Ze looked at him for a while, then got up and went to the bedroom, without saying yes or no, Hao Meng chased after him and asked, "Are you going or not?"

"I overestimated your self-esteem." Yan Yang took out his coat from the closet and said while putting it on, "You're acting like a spoiled child, go."

"Did I act like a spoiled child?" Hao Meng was puzzled. He heard the sound of something falling outside. When he went out to see, Mao Nika jumped down from the sofa and took the food bowl that had fallen to one side. Dog food was spilled everywhere.

"Who recruited you? Why are you always like this." Hao Meng whispered, squatting down to straighten the food bowl, while picking up dog biscuits scattered on the ground.Cat Nika glanced at him, pouted her buttocks, and walked away.

After Yan Ze packed up and came out, Hao Meng drank a few sips of milk indiscriminately, and he finished his breakfast at Yan Ze's place, and the two went out together.

Gao Yongfu's wife is Cai Guifang, who lives in an old-fashioned community near the suburbs.Dou Zongming lived in an old community, but it was clean and tidy. Cai Guifang lived in a vegetable market downstairs. There was garbage everywhere on the ground, and the smell was quite strong.

Hao Meng doesn't care, he has stayed in places that are dirtier and messier than this, but Yan Ze has a cleanliness habit, I heard from Yan Yang that he is quite picky, afraid that Yan Ze will feel uncomfortable, but when he saw Yan Ze, his expression was nothing In a special place, I don't know whether it is really forbearing or special.

After walking to the gate of the community, I saw a few women sitting in the reception room and warming up around the stove. The older ones asked Hao Meng and Yan Ze, "Who are you looking for?"

Hao Meng said, "Cai Guifang from the second unit."

The woman showed a ambiguous smile on her face, and said: "Let's find Xiaojuan, go and go."

Hao Meng felt that their eyes were a bit strange, and Yan Ze frowned too. When he arrived at Cai Guifang's room, he saw a rusty iron door with a broken couplet pasted on it.

Hao Meng knocked on the door. After waiting for a long time, someone came to open the door. The person who opened the door was a young woman holding a child. She was very pretty, but her face was very haggard.She seemed very timid, she was startled when she saw the two of Hao Meng, and asked timidly, "Who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Cai Guifang's home?" Hao Meng asked.

The young woman holding the child was taken aback, but before she could speak, another voice came from the room, saying, "Xiaojuan, who is it?" An old woman in a black padded coat came out.

Seeing Hao Meng and Yan Ze, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "You..."

"Are you Mr. Gao Yongfu's wife?" Hao Meng smiled: "We are here to see Mr. Gao."

Cai Guifang poured water for Hao Meng and Yan Ze.

Their family is indeed in a difficult situation, and the rim of the cup for hospitality is also broken. It seems that there is no tea, and white water is poured.Cai Guifang asked, "What are you here to inquire about?"

"I was taken care of by Mr. Gao before," Hao Meng said with a smile, "I wanted to visit Mr. Gao when I came back this time, but I didn't expect him to pass away, so I came to see you."

According to Yan Ze, when Gao Yongfu was an electrician, he got along well with his colleagues and was always willing to help others. He was a very kind and honest person.

Hearing this, Cai Guifang's expression eased, and she said: "You guys are determined, Lao Gao is in a hurry..."

"Didn't you know Mr. Gao's condition before?" Hao Meng asked.

Cai Guifang shook her head: "I don't know. Lao Gao used to be in good health. He didn't have these problems. We didn't know he just left."

Looking at Cai Guifang's expression, it didn't look like she was cheating. Hao Meng paused for a moment before saying, "Please forgive me. Although Mr. Gao is gone, you still need to take care of yourself. I heard that Mr. Gao was involved in a case before. A witness in Lao Que Sheng's murder?"

Cai Guifang was taken aback for a moment, and said, "How do you know?" Then she laughed at herself: "It's just me being confused. It's normal for you to know that this case is so big."

Hao Meng's heart moved, and she asked, "Do you know why Mr. Gao wanted to testify in court? Mr. Gao really heard the dispute between Ding Yuan and Tian Qingfu?"

"Why do you ask this?" Cai Guifang was a little strange, but she still answered Hao Meng's words: "Lao Gao is a warm-hearted person, and it's okay to help people carry things and suffer a little bit, but it's a big deal to involve witnesses in the case." Yes. I knew about it at the time, and I persuaded him not to get involved in these things, what to do if he offended someone, but he just refused to listen, and secretly became a witness without telling me. , I also had a fight with him, and I felt uneasy every day when I went to sleep, because I was afraid of accidents. Fortunately," she breathed a sigh of relief, "no problem happened in the end."

It seems that Cai Guifang didn't know the inside story, or Gao Yongfu never mentioned the truth to her at all.Hao Meng asked again: "I heard that your grandson is not in good health, but now..."

"The operation has already been performed." Cai Guifang said: "This child will suffer a lot if he follows us."

"Didn't it mean that the operation fee is not enough?" Hao Meng asked, "I was thinking that I could help a little."

"Thank you for saying that," Cai Guifang said with a smile, "Lao Gao left a sum of money for our mother and daughter before he left, which was just enough for the child's surgery fee. He said it was the coffin book he had worked so hard to save for so many years. The grandson’s body is like this, he took it out, and he too..." As he spoke, he seemed to feel sad, and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve.

Hao Meng and Yan Ze looked at each other, it seems that the so-called "coffin book" should be the reward for being a witness.

After saying a few more words, Hao Meng and Yan Ze got up and said goodbye to Cai Guifang because they couldn't ask anything.Cai Guifang is now working in a housekeeping company to subsidize her family. It seems that Gao Xiaojuan's health is not very good, and she can't live without people around her children.Hao Meng and Yan Ze said they were Gao Yongfu's friends, and they left some money for them before leaving.

After leaving Gao's house, Hao Meng felt a little heavy.

Gao Yongfu didn't mention this matter to his family at all. In other words, he knew how serious this matter was. If Cai Guifang and Gao Xiaojuan knew about it, it would cause trouble instead.It's better to take care of it all by yourself. Even if something happens one day, Cai Guifang and Gao Xiaojuan will not know about it at all, so they don't have to bear any responsibility.

Gao Yongfu should have considered all aspects of his family. In Cai Guifang's heart, her husband is also an honest man who has done good deeds all his life. If they were told that Gao Yongfu gave false testimony for money, they would not believe it.

Strangely, Hao Meng couldn't bear any resentment towards Gao Yongfu, probably because Gao Yongfu was raising money for his grandson's surgery, which reminded him of himself playing games to raise money for Mao Hu's surgery, and Gao Yongfu is dead now, and even his closest wife and daughter have not let out a word. Now it seems that the clues seem to be interrupted.

Hao Meng asked: "Can you find out about Li Wei?" One is dead, and the other is missing. I don't know if he is dead or alive, but there is still a glimmer of hope.

Yan Ze said: "It will take some time." He didn't directly say that he couldn't find it, Hao Meng's eyes lit up immediately, and he quickly said: "It doesn't matter, you can wait as long as you want!"

"I'll tell you if I have any news, but," he asked Hao Meng, "Who is going to frame Ding Yuan, do you have any doubts?"

Hao Meng thought about it carefully, then shook his head: "As you said, there are many people in the professional circle who don't like senior brother, but there shouldn't be any deep hatred, I can't think of it. , who would harm him like this."

Yan Ze thought thoughtfully, "Where's Tian Qingfu? Has Tian Qingfu had any grudges?"

"He and my senior brother should be mutual. Such an old-fashioned person must have offended others, but it should not be to a fatal level." Hao Meng actually didn't understand. What is in the way of others?Pursuing the road to winnings?Not so.

I always feel that whether it is the motive or the result, the whole thing seems to be covered with a layer of veil, and I can't see clearly.

"But you don't seem to have doubted what I said." Hao Meng said as she went down the stairs: "If you say that, you believe what I say?"

"I don't think I've ever said that I don't believe you." Yan Ze replied lazily.

"I thought you were talking politely, but you just said it casually and didn't take it seriously. I didn't expect you to really trust me so much." Hao Meng chased after her.

When he didn't know Yan Ze, he felt that Yan Ze was a rich and sinister little boy. Now, although he can't say that he understood him, he seemed to understand Yan Ze better than before.He is still a rich and sinister boy, but he has changed from an annoying boy to a very good boy at some point.

So Yanze is actually poisonous, right?

Thinking like this, Hao Meng climbed onto Yan Ze's shoulder and said, "What are you doing now?"

Yan Ze took his hand off and said, "Go back, what else can I do."

"It's still early." Hao Meng said, "The weather is not bad."

Yan Ze was helpless: "You were upset about Ding Yuan just now, why are you in a good mood now?"

Hao Meng stretched her waist: "Ah, I can't keep worrying about things that I can't finish. Besides, I don't get upset when I see you." He flattered subconsciously: "Yanyang said it's okay to go on a date with you. You have to hold the number plate of love, and you need to make an appointment, I got the number early today, No.1, let's go, let's go on a date, I'll treat you to dinner." He also talked nonsense like Yan Yang, in fact, he just felt that Yan Yang After Ze had a common secret, the relationship between the two of them became much closer. Even among their own people, they were also very special ones.

Yan Ze smiled: "No appointment."

"Didn't you just praise me for being so cute, why did you turn your back on me?" Hao Meng asked.

"When did I praise you?"

"When you called me by my name! Good! Cute! Like this. Full of compliments."

Yan Ze put his hands in his pockets and walked forward unhurriedly: "I think it's suitable for you to change your name."

"what name?"

"Hao Fan."
