Chapter 701 Zhang Hu’s Home!
Chapter 701 Zhang Hu’s Home!
The police from Xinjiekou Police Station led Jia Dongming and others into the yard and soon came to the back house in the front yard and shouted into the house: "Zhang Hu's wife! Zhang Hu's wife, are you home?"
"I'm here! Who's looking for me?" As soon as the police officer's voice fell, a woman's questioning voice was heard from inside the room.
Soon the curtain of the door was lifted, and a middle-aged woman came out. She was obviously stunned when she saw Jia Dongming and others standing at her door. She then asked the police officer who was shouting, "Comrade Qian Jin! How come you have time to come to my house today? Did my husband commit a crime outside again?"
Qian Jintong, a police officer from Xinjiekou Police Station, heard the middle-aged woman's question. Thinking of the situation at her home, he showed sympathy on his face and said to her, "Mrs. Zhang Hu, these people are from our Municipal Bureau. They came here mainly to find out some information from you, but this is not a place to talk. I wonder if we can go inside to talk."
When Zhang Hu's wife heard Qian Jin's words and saw his sympathetic expression, she was still shocked even though she had been fully prepared. She called out to Jia Dongming and the others, "Comrade Qian Jin! Public security comrades, please come in."
Just as Zhang Hu's wife invited Jia Dongming and others into the house, the original residents saw this scene and started whispering to each other.
"Auntie Wang! Why did the police suddenly bring so many people to Zhang Hu's house? Did Zhang Hu commit a crime again outside?" One of the middle-aged ladies saw the police walk into Zhang Hu's house, and immediately asked the aunt who was sewing shoe soles outside the yard.
When Aunt Wang heard the middle-aged woman's question, she thought of the actual situation of Zhang Hu's family and said to the middle-aged woman with sympathy, "Xiujuan is such a good girl, how could she have run into a bastard like Wang Hu? With so many police officers coming to her house, that bastard must have committed some crime outside, and I think the crime he committed must be quite serious."
Jia Dongming followed Qian Jin into Zhang Hu's house and saw two children, about eight or nine years old, with patched clothes on, sitting on the kang and pasting matchboxes.
Seeing this scene, Jia Dongming thought of the fact that Zhang Hu was already dead, and said to Zhang Hu's wife with a serious expression: "Comrade Guo Xiujuan! We came to your house this time mainly because we have some unfortunate news to inform you. I wonder if you can arrange for the two children to step aside for now."
When Guo Xiujuan saw Jia Dongming and the others, she had an ominous thought in her heart. Now when she heard Jia Dongming's request for her two children to leave, Guo Xiujuan's heart sank to the bottom. She quickly told the two children who were looking at Jia Dongming and the others with timid faces: "Fangfang! Take your brother out to play for a while. My mother will call you back later."
When the two children saw the police coming to their house, although they didn't know what was going on, they still followed Guo Xiujuan's instructions, put on their shoes and quickly walked out of the house.
After watching the two children walk out of the house, Jia Dongming introduced them to Guo Xiujuan in a serious tone, "Guo Xiujuan! The situation is like this. Zhang Hu was killed the night before yesterday in Hanjia Hutong."
"Crack!" Although Guo Xiujuan had been mentally prepared, when she heard the news of Zhang Hu's death, she still took a few steps back involuntarily, tripping over the stool behind her. She muttered to herself with lifeless eyes, "I knew he was hanging out outside every day, and sooner or later something would happen to him. Why didn't he listen to me?"
When Jia Dongming heard Guo Xiujuan's mumblings and saw her sad expression, and thought about what Zhang Hu had done outside, he really felt sorry for the woman in front of him.
"Comrade Guo Xiujuan! Actually, there is no need for you to feel sad about Zhang Hu's death, because he died in his lover's home. There is no need for you to feel sad for such a person." After all, Wang Bin had just started working not long ago. When he saw Guo Xiujuan feeling sad about Zhang Hu's death, he thought of what Zhang Hu had done and couldn't help but tell Guo Xiujuan the news that Zhang Hu had a lover outside.
Guo Xiujuan was naturally aware that Zhang Hu had a lover outside, but she was a very traditional woman. Due to the influence of the older generation's thinking, she had already tacitly accepted that her man had a lover outside. When she heard Wang Bin's persuasion, she couldn't help but look up, looked at Jia Dongming and others, and asked them: "Comrade Public Security! Where is the body of our man? Can I go and take a last look at him?"
When Jia Dongming heard Guo Xiujuan's question, he was not surprised at all that Guo Xiujuan ignored the fact that Zhang Hu had someone outside. He introduced to Guo Xiujuan in a serious manner: "Comrade Guo Xiujuan! Zhang Hu's body is at the FT District Public Security Bureau. You can go and see him anytime you want."
"The main reason we came here this time is to find out from you. Besides being close to Ghost Old Seven, who else does Zhang Hu have a good relationship with on a daily basis?"
When Guo Xiujuan heard Jia Dongming mention Ghost Old Seven, she was visibly stunned and immediately asked Jia Dongming, "Comrade Public Security! Is Ghost Old Seven related to my husband's death?"
Jia Dongming didn't expect that he just mentioned Ghost Old Seven, and Guo Xiujuan actually guessed that Zhang Hu's death was related to Ghost Old Seven. This really surprised him. Then he nodded and asked Guo Xiujuan seriously: "Guo Xiujuan! How do you know that your man's death is related to Ghost Old Seven?"
When Guo Xiujuan heard Jia Dongming's question, she thought of the scene a few days ago when Gui Laoqi came to my house to look for Zhang Hu, and immediately introduced to Jia Dongming: "Comrade Public Security! The day before yesterday evening, Gui Laoqi suddenly brought some pork heads and wine to my house to look for my husband. I happened to be pasting matchboxes in the inner room at the time, and I vaguely heard Gui Laoqi asking my husband to find two people and three hands to help him do something, and said that after the task was completed, he would give my husband a reward of 100 yuan."
"Then the two of them drank until about seven in the evening, and then they left home together. You just mentioned Ghost Old Seven, so I suspected that it was Ghost Old Seven who harmed my man."
After hearing what Guo Xiujuan said, Jia Dongming was more certain that the murderer who killed Liu Jiangping and Zhang Hu was Gui Laoqi. He then asked Guo Xiujuan, "Guo Xiujuan! Do you know how Zhang Hu makes a living? Also, do you know who else Zhang Hu is close to besides Gui Laoqi?"
