"He smokes a different cigarette than others."

"How is it different?"

"His cigarettes were thick and long, and the color was not right – the wrapping paper on the outside of the cigarette was gray. We've never seen it. ”

Xiuqin was talking about cigars. People who can afford to smoke cigars may indeed be considered wealthy.

"Chen Hongmei was supposed to live for three or four months -- yes, Chen Hongmei was living in that wing room -- the one where the workers found the dead body. I don't know what the reason is, Hongmei moved out in a hurry after living for less than two months. What's even more strange is that after the man came a few times, he suddenly stopped coming. Aunt Li spoke in a very low voice, and she was careful that the people standing outside heard her voice, so when she was talking, she turned her head sideways and glanced out from time to time, "After that, we haven't seen this person again." ”

"What my aunt said is good, I originally thought that Chen Hongmei was trying to avoid that man, but after Chen Hongmei moved away, that man never came, and until now, we haven't seen him." Xiuqin's words and the information provided by Aunt Li corroborate each other. ”

"Is Chen Hongmei still working in the warehouse now?"

"It's still there."

"Where does she live now?"

"She's married again, and she lives somewhere, I don't know, but I'm referring to a man, and you go to him and ask him—he's sure to know."

"Sister-in-law, please speak."

"Director Tao of the material company. You go to him, he should know the whole thing about Chen Hongmei's situation. ”

"Where does Director Tao live?"

"It's at No. 365 Qixingmen Street, just in the alley to the west of Kelaitang. Director Gu, you just lead them there. ”

"I'll tell you something." Aunt Li frowned.

"Auntie, please speak."

"When Hongmei lived in Impermanence Lane, she was the only one at No. 157."

"How long has Chen Hongmei lived alone at No. 157?"

"I can't say exactly how long, but not long after the man spoke to Hongmei, Sister-in-law Gao moved in, and it was only when she heard that Hongmei was moving out, and Sister-in-law Gao moved in - at that time, Sister-in-law Gao was looking for a house everywhere."

"Who is sister-in-law Gao?"

"It's Mrs. Gao who lives on the east end of Zhonghe Street."

Ouyang Ping unfolded two pieces of paper, and there was a text below Chen Hongmei.

"Ouyang, this is what they are talking about." Liu Dayu pointed to the words on the paper and said.

The note read: "Mrs. Gao, age: about seventy; From July to September 1990, he rented two wings in the east (the second son got married, and the old lady vacated the house she lived in for her son to get married). ”

"Yes, it's this Mrs. Gao, sister-in-law, let's see if it's this person." Ouyang Ping said.

Xiuqin stood up, walked up to Ouyang Ping and looked at it, and then said, "Yes, it's her." ”

The information provided by Che Huating is consistent with the situation provided by Mrs. Li, but there is a difference in time.

"Auntie, you go on." Ouyang Ping felt that Aunt Li still had something to say.

"Hongmei told me before she moved out that she was going to stay for three or four months, why did she move out after only living for less than two months? After Hongmei moved into No. 157, there was another man running to No. 157. ”

"Auntie, what do you mean: Chen Hongmei had an affair with two men at the same time?"

"Whether Hongmei is talking to two men, I dare not say, but the other one later became Hongmei's man."
