Magic City, Jiangbei District, Wen'an Road, Fuxing Community.

It was almost night and the air was cold. Cui Lizhu held her cell phone and looked at the information on the cell phone while observing the house in front of her.

The door sign reads No. 19, which is the address given to him by the watch shop owner.

strangeness……

Cui Lizhu started to murmur, didn’t she say that this villa had been burned? Why...

Indeed, the three-story villa in front of me was exquisite and elegant, unique, and it was not like a fire.

So...

Cui Lizhu thought to herself, after all, the fire happened 30 years ago, and now that so many years have passed, the house must have been renovated. I wonder if the people living in the house will be related to the case she is going to investigate.

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

However, I waited for a long time but didn't respond.

She rang the doorbell several times in a row. After pressing the doorbell, she couldn't hear any movement. She wondered if it was broken?

So she patted the door hard 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 room...

Cui Lizhu looked inside through the crack in the door, but saw that there were all kinds of flowers planted in the yard of the villa, looking vibrant, and there must be someone living there.

The villa is built in European style and exudes an exotic flavor. However, the window flowers attached to the windows and the red lanterns hanging on the porch also show a strong local atmosphere.

well……

Cui Lizhu looked at her phone again and complained that Zeng Ke had not found the information yet.

So far, she only knew that this Fuxing community is a relatively famous community in the Magic City. Because the single-family villas here are all characteristic buildings left before liberation, they were retained as protection projects by the local area and were not planned to be demolished.

Since this place is located in the center of Magic City, from beginning to end, it 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 will naturally be either rich or noble.

However, because the community was built too early, there were no underground parking facilities here, the owners' cars could only pass through the community, parked to their own yards, or parked on the street outside their yards.

Just now, when Cui Lizhu was waiting for Zeng Ke to call, a brand new BMW x7 happened to slowly stop 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 his 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!

A distant relative is worse than a close neighbor, and a close neighbor is worse than a opposite door.

Choi Lizhu hurried over and shouted at the couple: "I'm sorry to bother me, can you ask you a few questions?"

Hearing Cui Lizhu's shout, the couple immediately stopped and looked back to watch.

Cui Lizhu quickly showed her ID and said:

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

"We?" the man was stunned, a little nervous, "What can we help you?"

"Oh, don't be nervous," Choi Lizhu quickly signaled, then pointed to Villa No. 19 and said, "It's about your doorstep!"

"On the door?" the man looked at his wife and muttered, "So it's that Japanese?"

"Ah?" Cui Lizhu was stunned, "Are you Japanese?"

"Yeah, yes!" At this time, the woman came closer with the child in her arms, nodded and said, "Police Officer, there is a Japanese man opposite our house. What are you doing for him?"

Cui Lizhu was a little confused, so she quickly sorted out her thoughts and asked again: "How long has this Japanese been living? What I want to ask is about the fire in your house's opposite door!"

"What? Fire?" The two of them looked at Villa No. 19 in unison. The woman wondered, "Didn't you hear that his house is on fire? Are you okay?"

"No, I'm saying it..." Choi Lizhu said quickly, "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..." Unexpectedly, the woman suddenly remembered something, "I heard from my mother that the opposite door was indeed too fire, and I still have an impression!"

"What are you kidding!" the man smiled, "Are you one year younger than me?"

"No, no," the woman said quickly, "I certainly don't remember the fire, but when I was a child, I often went to the villa opposite the door with my friends...

"I can still remember that there was a burnt ruin, and we still spread rumors about it, saying it was a haunted house or something..."

"No way?" the man was surprised again, "Are you so brave?"

"I forgot," the woman recalled, "maybe, I was brave when I was a child? It seems...it was only renovated when I went to elementary school. At first, the house was rented out and rented to many people. Until 10 years ago, a Japanese person bought the house..."

"Police Officer," the man asked Choi Lizhu, "You seem to have found the wrong person? What does the fire 30 years ago have to do with us?"

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

"We suspect that the fire is related to an important case we are in contact with now," Choi Lizhu ignored the man and said directly to the woman, "So, I hope you can provide some information about the fire that year!"

"Oh, no problem, no problem..." the woman said quickly, "Please come in! My parents should be able to help you. When I was a child, I heard them talk about the fire on the opposite door!"

"Oh... Then your parents..." Cui Lizhu was about to ask where the woman's parents were now, but as a result, he saw the security door of the villa open and an elderly aunt walked out of it.

"Xiao Huang, is it Saning? (Who is this)" The aunt spoke in the authentic magic city dialect.

"Mom, this is a police officer," the woman quickly introduced, "She wants to ask you about the fire in the opposite door back then!"

"Oh, it's been a long time since the break..." The aunt said a lot of local words, and Cui Lizhu was filled with mist when she heard it.

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

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

"Yes," said the aunt, "30 years ago, when I was born, I was still in the confinement period! A big fire broke out on the opposite door, and the fire burned all the couple and their children to death!

"The fire started late at night, and it burned very quickly," recalled the aunt, "When we found out, we could no longer rush in to save people!
