Chapter 2320: Villa No. 19 (Part 1)

Modu, Jiangbei District, Wen'an Road, Fuxing Community.

It was getting late and the air was cold. Cui Lizhu held her mobile phone, checked the information on the mobile phone, and observed the house in front of her.

No. 19 was written on the house number, which was the address given to him by the owner of the watch shop.

strangeness……

Cui Lizhu muttered, didn't she mean that this villa has already been burned? how……

Indeed, the three-story villa in front of me is exquisite, elegant and unique, and it does not look like it has been caught in a fire at all.

That's right...

Cui Lizhu thought to herself, after all, the fire happened 30 years ago, so many years have passed, the house must have been renovated, and I don't know if the people living in the house are related to the case she wants to investigate.

Thinking of this, Cui Lizhu rang the doorbell of the villa.

However, after waiting for a long time, there was no response.

She pressed the doorbell several times in succession. After the doorbell was pressed, she couldn't hear any movement, so she wondered if the doorbell was broken?

So, she patted on the door vigorously again, but after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement inside.

oh……

It seems that there is really no one in the house...

Cui Lizhu looked inside through the crack of the door, and saw that there were various kinds of flowers planted in the courtyard of the villa, which seemed to be full of vitality, and there must be people living there.

The villa is built in European style, exuding an exotic flavor, but the window grilles on the windows and the red lanterns hanging on the porch show a strong local flavor.

well……

Cui Lizhu looked at the phone again, complaining why Zeng Ke hadn't found the information until now.

So far, she only knows that this Fuxing community is a relatively famous community in Shanghai, because the single-family villas here are all characteristic buildings left before liberation, so they are preserved by the local area as a protection project and have not been planned. demolition.

Since it is located in the center of the magic city,

From the beginning to the end, this place has always been a luxury house among luxury houses. The current price of each house is basically over 100 million yuan. Those who can live here are naturally either rich or expensive.

However, because the community was built too early, there are no underground parking facilities here, and the owners' cars can only pass through the community and park in their yards, or on the street outside their yards.

No, when Cui Lizhu was waiting for Zeng Ke's call, a brand new BMW X7 just happened to stop slowly in front of Xiao Cui, and parked at the door of another villa opposite No. 19.

Soon, a young couple got out of the car, and the wife was holding a baby in her arms.

The husband took out two large bags of vegetables and food from the trunk, and the two opened the door and entered the villa opposite.

Yes!

Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and close neighbors are not as good as the opposite door.

Cui Lizhu hurried over and shouted to the couple, "Excuse me, can I ask you a few questions?"

Hearing Cui Lizhu's call, the couple immediately stopped and looked back.

Cui Lizhu quickly showed her ID and said:

"I'm a police officer and I'm investigating a case. I hope...you can provide us with some information!"

"Us?" The man was taken aback, slightly nervous, "What can we do for you?"

"Oh, don't be nervous," Cui Lizhu hurriedly motioned, then pointed to Villa No. 19 and said, "It's about the opposite door of your house!"

"The opposite door?" The man glanced at his wife and muttered, "So it's that Japanese?"

"Ah?" Cui Lizhu was taken aback, "Japanese?"

"Well, yes!" At this time, the woman came to the front with the child in her arms, nodded and said, "Officer, there is a Japanese across the door from our house. What do you want him for?"

Cui Lizhu was a little confused, so she quickly gathered her thoughts and asked again: "How long has this Japanese lived here? What I want to ask is about the fire at the door opposite your house!"

"What? On fire?" The two looked at Villa No. 19 in unison, and the woman wondered, "Didn't you hear that his house was on fire? Are you okay?"

"No, what I said is..." Cui Lizhu hurriedly said, "It was the fire 30 years ago!"

"Wow..." The man was surprised, "I'm only 27 this year... What are you trying to investigate?"

"Oh... yes..." Who knows, the woman suddenly remembered something, "I heard from my mother that the door across the street was indeed on fire, and I still remember it!"

"Are you kidding me!" the man laughed, "Are you a year younger than me?"

"No, no," the woman hurriedly said, "Of course I don't remember the fire, but when I was young, I often went to the villa opposite the door to play with my friends...

"I can still remember that there was a piece of burnt ruins, and we still made rumors that it was a haunted house or something..."

"No way?" The man was surprised again, "Are you...so courageous?"

"I forgot," the woman recalled. "Maybe, I was bold when I was a child, right? It seems... It seems that after I went to elementary school, the opposite side was renovated. At first, the house was rented out to many people, until 10 years ago, a Japanese talent bought the house..."

"Officer," the man asked Cui Lizhu, "you seem to have the wrong person? What does the fire 30 years ago have to do with us?"

It wasn't until this time that Cui Lizhu realized that this was the woman's home, and the man might be a son-in-law or a married couple.

"We suspect that the fire was related to an important case we have come into contact with now," Cui Lizhu said to the woman directly, ignoring the man, "So, I hope you can provide some information about the fire that year!"

"Oh, no problem, no problem..." The woman hurriedly said, "Please come in! My parents should be able to help you. When I was young, I heard them talk about the fire at the opposite door!"

"Oh...then your parents..." Cui Lizhu was about to ask where the woman's parents are now, but he saw the villa's anti-theft door open, and an elderly aunt came out from inside.

"Xiao Huang, is this Sanin? (Who is this)" the aunt spoke in the authentic dialect of Modu.

"Mom, this is a police officer," the woman hurriedly introduced, "She wants to ask you about the fire at the opposite door!"

"Oh, it's time to pass the time (it's been a long time)..." The aunt then spoke a lot of local dialect, and Cui Lizhu was overwhelmed.

"Come on, police officer! Let's go inside and talk..." Seeing this, the woman invited Cui Lizhu into the room.

After they put down their things and settled down their children, the woman acted as an interpreter, allowing the aunt who knew the details to tell the story of the fire that year.

"Yes," the aunt said, "30 years ago, when my eldest was born, I was still in confinement! There was a fire just across the door, and the fire burned the couple and their children to death!

"The fire started in the middle of the night and burned very quickly," recalled the aunt, "after we found out, there was no way to rush in to save people!

"Waiting for the fire brigade to arrive, the fire has almost burned out. There are four members of the family, and none of them survived. It's really miserable..."
