Nan Tang Village was located on the outskirts of the southern district of the city.
At three o 'clock in the afternoon, Han Bin and his men arrived at Nan Tang Village.
Nan Tang Village had a large population flow. There were many migrant workers living in the city. There were many public buses and transportation was relatively convenient.
Before Han Bin arrived, he had contacted the village chief, Tang Wenjie.
Tang Wenjie was about fifty years old. He wore a long black down jacket and a Longines watch on his wrist.
When they met, Han Bin took the initiative to greet him, "Hello, Village Chief Tang."
"Judging from your voice, you must be Captain Han. You're so young that I can't even recognize you." Tang Wenjie walked up and shook hands with Han Bin.
"Village Chief Tang, I'm sorry to trouble you today."
"Captain Han, you're being too polite. Although I'm not a high-ranking village chief, I'm still a party member. It's my duty to assist the public security department." Tang Wenjie made an inviting gesture. "Captain Han, our village committee has a heater. Let's warm up inside."
"No need. We have a heater in the car. It's not cold. Let's go straight to Jiang Suli's house."
"No problem. I'll lead the way."
Then, Tang Wenjie got into the police car and led the way for Han Bin and the others.
Han Bin asked, "Village Chief Tang, do you know anything about Jiang Suli's family?"
"I do. Jiang Suli's husband is Tang Wenyao. He's from the same generation as me, so we're related. Tang Jiefu's father is also from the same generation as us. He's an ancestor of our family. Look at how things have turned out. Even I'm embarrassed because of this. "
"Is there anyone living in Tang Wenyao's house now?"
"Who would dare to live there after such a thing happened? His family moved to the city a long time ago. The house can't be rented out, so it's empty. " Tang Wenjie sighed and continued, "I just called him. He said that he left a key at a neighbor's house. We'll go get the key and go straight in."
Han Bin nodded. Li Qin had also contacted Tang Wenyao. According to Tang Wenyao, he had been hospitalized recently and could not go to the police station to make a statement.
Soon, the car arrived near Tang Wenyao's house. It was an alley, and it was not easy for the car to turn around, so it stopped outside.
Han Bin and the others got out of the car and walked into the alley.
Tang Wenjie walked to the entrance of the alley and pointed at the third house. "That's Tang Wenyao's house. He left the key at the house in front. I'll go get it."
Han Bin said, "Village Chief Tang, I'll go with you. I can ask some questions."
"Sure." Tang Wenjie walked to the door of the first house and knocked on the door. "Dong dong."
After a while, no one responded.
Tang Wenjie knocked on the door again.
"Who is it?" This time a loud voice came from the room. It sounded like an old man.
"Uncle Wu, it's me."
A moment later, the door opened with a creak.
A 70-year-old white-haired old man stood at the door. "Yo, the village chief is here. What a rare guest. Please come in. "
"Uncle Wu, you can just call me by my name."
"Wenjie, you are a busy man. What's the matter?"
"Do you have the key to Tang Wenyao's house?"
"What did you say? Speak louder. My ears are not working well."
Tang Wenjie repeated aloud.
"Yes, he left the key at my house when he left. What's the matter?"
Tang Wenjie pointed at Han Bin. "This is a comrade from the Municipal Public Security Bureau. They are here to investigate Wenjie's wife's case."
"Aiyo, it's been more than two years. What's the use of investigating now?"
Han Bin said, "Uncle, there's a new clue in the case. We are here to understand the situation."
The old man smiled. "The leader who came to investigate the case last time looked like he was in his forties, but he couldn't understand the case. You're only in your twenties. Can you do it? "
"Uncle Wu, you don't understand. The last case was investigated by the South City Branch. This Captain Han is from the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
The old man was a little surprised. He looked at Han Bin from head to toe. "Oh, it's a leader from the city. No wonder. I'll go get the key."
After a while, the old man walked over with the key. "Let's go. I'll open it for you. The lock is not very good. It's not easy to open it."
"Uncle, how many people are there in his family?"
"Jiang Suli is dead. Now there are three of them. Tang Wenyao has two children."
"How long has it been since Tang Wenyao and his family came back?"
The old man thought for a while. "About a year."
As they were talking, the group arrived at Tang Wenyao's house. The old man took the key and went to open the door.
Han Bin looked around. Tang Wenyao's house door was green. It looked like it had been used for many years. There were a lot of damage on the door. It looked like it was smashed by stones.
"Creak …" The old man pushed the door open and pointed inside. "Go in. The yard is a little messy."
Han Bin entered the yard. It was a mess. There was a lot of junk. There were many stones scattered on the ground and a few windows were smashed.
Han Bin saw the damage on the door. He thought that the children were messing around. But looking at the situation in the yard, there might be other reasons. "Uncle, who smashed this window?"
"Heh, this … it's hard to say."
Han Bin guessed, "Is it related to Tang Jiefu?"
The old man waved his hand. "No, no. It has nothing to do with that child's family. That child has a hard life. I heard that he can't even walk properly. It's a pity."
"Then who smashed it?"
"It's Jiang Suli's son."
Tang Wenjie was a little surprised. "Tang Dingyuan? Why would he smash his own house? Is he stupid?"
"It's not Tang Wenyao's son. It's Jiang Suli and her ex-husband's son."
"Oh, it's that kid. No wonder." Tang Wenjie had a look of realization.
Han Bin asked, "Village Chief Tang, do you know what's going on here?"
"This is Tang Wenyao and Jiang Suli's second marriage. Both of them were married before and have a son. However, Jiang Suli's son has been with her ex-husband. Tang Wenyao and Jiang Suli had another daughter after they got married. "
Han Bin asked, "What's the name of Jiang Suli's son? Why did he smash Tang Wenyao's house? "
"His name is Cui Shaohai. As for why he smashed his house, I do know a little. " Tang Wenjie organized his words and continued, "Our village is going to be demolished soon. Tang Wenjie's family has a total of two plots of land. According to our village's plan, they can have three houses for demolition. Cui Shaohai wanted one but Tang Wenyao didn't agree. Both of them came to me, so I have a deep impression of Cui Shaohai."
Han Bin was a little surprised. He really didn't know about this. "When is your village going to be demolished?"
"It's been going on for many years. Originally, it was planned to be measured at the beginning of this year. In the end, it was delayed until the second half of the year because of the epidemic. Now, the west side of the village has started to be demolished.
It's a good thing you came early. If you came next year, Tang Wenyao's house might have been demolished and you wouldn't be able to see the scene even if you wanted to. "
Han Bin thought for a while and asked, "Village Chief Tang, according to the village's policy, can Cui Shaohai get a house?"
"What for? He's not even from our village and his residence isn't in our village. To put it bluntly, his mother is already dead. What does he have to do with our village? If I were to give him a house, not only would Tang Wenyao not agree, the other villagers wouldn't agree either. This is the welfare of our Nan Tang Village. What does it have to do with an outsider like him? "
