Chapter 177

Cheng Mo has seen the old couple earlier, is considered a familiar face, in exchange for outsiders, big night, the old couple that is absolutely not open the door.

The old man surnamed Zhou, ancestor is Shaoxing master, that is, now the lawyer, but the old man did not do the lawyer this line.

Rather, his ancestors had accumulated a lot of family business, and at a young age, he became a chartered house owner, and later gave birth to a son and three daughters.

The son went abroad to study, stayed overseas, three daughters, one married to Suzhou, a not far away, every now and then will come back to see them, there is another they do not mention, Cheng Mo estimates that it is likely that the West withdrew.

There is this family relationship, now more obscure, are not willing to mention, so as not to lead to unnecessary trouble.

Moreover, Cheng Mo is not over to check people’s landlord’s account, but mainly rushed to Nojiri Taro and Keiko’s family of three.

Old people have their own traditional values, they don’t like to chew the cud behind their backs, even if there is something not so good, they won’t talk nonsense.

After all, they are their own tenants, the relationship is not bad, signed a contract, the old couple even if there is any dissatisfaction in their hearts, it is not good to kick out people during the contract period.

This can also be seen, the old couple usually treat people, has always been to the harmony of neighbors.

Both of them had some savings and could still collect rents, and their expenses were not too big, so apart from visiting the doctor, they were able to obtain a trace of peace in the rented area.

Of course, such peace would not last long.

Regarding domestic violence, neither of the old couple had mentioned a word about it before; it was a matter between a husband and wife, and it was not good for outsiders to get involved.

Now, the husband was killed, the old couple in Cheng Mo’s plea, opened up a lot of things they know.

Domestic violence, indeed exists, and there is some discrepancy with what Xia Ran said, it was Nojiri Taro who domestically abused Keiko, who was often beaten, and the child as well.

Xia Ran lives above them, she should be able to know who was doing the domestic violence to whom, so why did she lie and say that it was Keiko who was bullying Nojiri Taro? She’s a third party, there’s no need for her to hide it for Nojiri Taro, or maybe, she’s an abusive personality herself? On that detail, she lied.

However, the old couple also told Cheng Mo a situation, although the one who made the first move was Nojiri Taro, Keiko didn’t seem to be weak, the old lady witnessed Keiko kicking Nojiri Taro out of the room.

Keiko’s strength was not small, and she was not as soft as she appeared to be.

Of course, there was a difference between human potential and explosive power and the power that could be exerted under normal circumstances, and an occasional outburst didn’t mean anything.

Keiko was very good at cooking and could cook Chinese dishes, and had once invited the old couple to eat at their home, which was very delicious.

The old man mentioned Keiko’s knife skills.

This detail allowed Cheng Mo to instantly catch on that Huizi’s knife skills were very good, no better than the cooks of many big restaurants.

Huizi could use a knife.

One more point of suspicion.

Keiko was usually at home, but occasionally she would go out, leaving her children at home, and the old couple would help look after them during the day, and wait for Nojiri Taro to return at night.

In other words, Keiko went out and stayed out at night, and Nojiri Taro, as her husband, knew about it.

A married woman who goes out and stays out at night, it’s hard not to wonder if she has someone else.

If she has someone else, why does she keep such a close eye on her husband? Wouldn’t it be nice for everyone to go their own way and stay out of each other’s way?

Unless it was that Keiko’s going out didn’t involve personal feelings, but something else. These circumstances, before were not able to grasp, Cheng Mo’s suspicion of Huizi deeper and deeper, if Inoue Nishiaki wants to kill to kill, the person who carries out this task, Huizi is more than suitable, a heart is not on their own man, kill is also killed.

If it is really Keiko’s hand, then she is by no means an ordinary Japanese woman, the problem is, there is no way to check her past.

Keiko went out this afternoon, the child was alone at home, and only came back when it was dark, and when she came back, she didn’t cook, probably bought some food from outside, and less than seven o’clock, the light in the room went out.

“Moncler, ma’am, that means Keiko hasn’t been out of the house since she came back?”

“No, anyway, I didn’t see it, I have this door open all the time, we were right at the door, and halfway through, we went to take a shower, however, the two of us went alternately, and the door didn’t leave the doorway, if she had gone out, we would definitely have been able to see it.” Master Zhou said, “Our old two eyes are not blind, and our ears are not deaf.”

“Hehe, I believe both of you.” Cheng Mo got up to take his leave, “It’s getting late, so I won’t bother the two old men to rest.”

“We are old and have little sleep, it’s early, we can’t sleep, so we might as well sit for a while longer.” Elder Zhou said, “It’s more than I can ask for for Inspector Cheng to come over and chat with us.”

“I have to go back too, my daughter-in-law is still waiting for me at home.”

“Inspector Cheng got married?”

“Tied the knot, not too long ago.” Cheng Mo hemmed and hawed, “I forgot to bring wedding candies to the two old men, I’ll make it up to you two later.”

He suddenly remembered the matter of renting a house, this yard is not very good, the car can be parked directly in, small second floor, he and Su Moer also enough to live.

Downstairs can let Tang Tao also move over.

He is his own assistant, with their own rental housing together, there is nothing wrong, here from him and Su Moer work place are almost far, north is four roads, do not need to drive, walk over is not very far.

After such a matter, Huizi mother and son are definitely going to move out.

“Grandpa, ma’am, I’d like to discuss a matter with you two, how about renting this house to me if it’s empty?”

“Inspector Cheng wants to rent my house?”

“No?”

“Yes, but my house is rented for a long period of time, I don’t do short term rentals, and Mrs. Keiko’s lease is for three years, so unless she doesn’t want to rent it anymore, I won’t be able to kick anyone out.” Master Zhou said.

“After this incident, this mother and son probably won’t rent it anymore, anyway, you keep this allotment for me, no can rent the upstairs to me first, when they mother and son move out, I’ll come back to rent the downstairs, what do you think?” Cheng Mo said.

“OK ah, but I am curious, you such a detective, also lack of house to live?”

“I’m not lacking, but the place I live is slightly far from where my wife and I work, it’s inconvenient, so I’d like to rent one that’s closer.” Cheng Mo explained.

Elder Zhou nodded, this reason was practical.

“Okay, the rent will be according to the line price, I’ll also start renting for three years, we’ll be neighbors in the future.” Cheng Mo laughed.

“Good grin, Inspector Cheng looks up to the old man, how could the old man not agree.” Elder Zhou is also a straightforward person, this rents the house to the inspector of the police station, not to say how much light can be dipped, at least the safety is also guaranteed.

Doing a case, but also solved the matter of the house, but also he did not expect, however, this old man Zhou this house is really good, convenient transportation, complete living facilities.
