Chapter 129: Rough Immortal (6000-character chapter)(1/2)
The small buildings on the riverside cover a large area, which made Chen Chong walk for a long time to find the specific location even if he knew the direction of Building 10.
This is a single-family villa with three stories high with a private garden.
Chen Chong stood at the entrance of the garden, and a surveillance camera in the upper right corner of the door faced him.
It is not surprising that every household in high-end villas is basically equipped with surveillance. Of course, this does not mean that the community is not safe, but its function is to play a psychological deterrent effect.
However, what is speechless is that Coach Qiao's villa has too many surveillance cameras, right?
There is one at the door and two gardens. In addition, there are probably even an invisible back garden on the roof and side of the villa!
"Is there any gold and silver hidden in his home? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?" Chen Chong curled his lips and thought to himself that the rich man's ideas were indeed unusual.
Dingdong.
When the doorbell was ringing, no one responded inside, but the surveillance camera on his head shrank. It was estimated that the owner was checking who was outside the door.
"Who are you looking for?" A plastic box hung under the doorbell, and a woman's voice sounded inside.
Although the sound is slightly electrophone, it can still tell the speaker that he is quite old and should be middle-aged.
Chen Chong guessed that he might be a nanny, so he pressed the 'call' button on the plastic box and replied, "Hello, I'll look for Coach Qiao."
"What's the matter with him?"
"I am a private detective and want to find out about Rosie with Coach Qiao." This was the remark I had thought of before coming, and Chen Chong replied without changing his expression.
After the words fell, the other end did not speak for a long time. After nearly half a minute, the woman's voice continued to come, "Sorry, he doesn't want to talk about the things he had done back now, so please go back."
"I just want to ask a few simple questions that won't waste much time." Chen Chong came over from afar, so naturally it was impossible for him to give up easily.
"Sorry, please go back." The other party's tone was unquestionable.
"I"
"If you don't leave, I will notify the security guard." Before Chen Chong could continue speaking, the other party gave an ultimatum directly.
The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.
Chen Chong narrowed his eyes. The more he did this, the more he gave people a feeling of deliberately avoidance. Does Coach Qiao want to know what he wanted to ask for? That is the student he is most satisfied with!
It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense at all!
Chen Chong took two steps and turned back, continued to press the call button, and whispered: "What if Rosie didn't die unexpectedly?"
This sentence is a bit risky. If Coach Qiao is one of the two black shadows, it may put him in danger.
But there is no way to do this.
Sizzle
A slight noise of electric current came from the other end, as if the woman pressed the button but did not make a sound for a long time.
Click.
"Come in."
Suddenly, the door lock on the door popped open automatically, and a slightly tired man's voice came from the speaker.
Chen Chong carefully pushed the garden door and saw the specific layout inside at a glance. There were rockery and pools, and many dead leaves fell on the lawns on both sides, looking unattended.
The doorway lights are on at the villa's entrance, guiding the direction for those entering the garden.
He stepped into it and closed the door with his backhand, and he was scrupulous, so as not to escape later if an unexpected situation occurred, and he became a turtle in a jar.
Meow.
A cat moaned in the darkness on the right. Unpredictable, Chen Chong was startled and turned around and saw a cat standing on the lawn and staring at him vigilantly, motionless.
"Black Cat?" With the faint moonlight, Chen Chong could see the cat's fur clearly. Unlike his lazy cat who was strong outside and fucked at the same time, the black cat's eyes were not only vigilant, but could not see much extraordinary spirituality. It should be an ordinary black cat, not an extremely rare and mysterious cat that can shock evil spirits.
The reason why I am so sure is mainly because the color of Xuanmao's fur is not pure black, but black and brown, like a thin layer of Jinsha.
Meow.
As if he knew that Chen Chong was not easy to mess with, the black cat screamed and ran away quickly.
The closer he got to the villa, the more serious Chen Chong felt. He saw two broad-mouthed copper lions on both sides of the door, and a gossip mirror was hung in the center of the door. The places where Spring Festival couplets were supposed to be pasted on both sides were replaced with something like Taoist talismans. What's even more strange is that the color of the entire door was dark red and exuded a depressing smell.
In addition, the water in the pool next to it was turbid, a fish scale fell off the water surface, the fish belly was bloated, and the dead koi smelled badly.
Click.
The door was half opened, revealing the middle-aged woman with black eyes behind the door. Her hair was very messy and she felt deeply tired.
Chen Chong thought she was a villa nanny, but when he saw the precious bracelet on the wrist and a half-palm jade plaque hanging around his neck, he denied this speculation.
A nanny doesn't work with such expensive items.
"The nanny is not here recently, so no one takes care of the garden, so I laughed." The middle-aged woman forced a polite smile and made a gesture of inviting her to enter.
"Where are there." Chen Chong nodded without a smile, thinking that this reason was too far-fetched. Even without a nanny, he could not let the dead fish float on the water without caring, right?
When entering the villa, Chen Chong touched the dark red door without any trace, and was shocked. The whole door was clearly coated with cinnabar!
There are too many things to drive away evil spirits, black cats, copper lions, Taoist talismans, Bagua mirrors, and various things that drive away evil spirits? He thought.
Walking out of the entrance, a middle-aged man with gray hair and haggard hair was sitting on the sofa in the living room. It was obviously Coach Qiao.
His figure has gone apart. He is only about fifty years old, but he looks like he hasn't slept for days and nights and has heavy bags in his eyes.
Clang.
The sound of closing the door came from behind. Chen Chong turned around and saw the middle-aged woman secretly glanced into the cat's eyes after closing the door before turning around and walked over, then said, "You chat" at the stairs, and then went up in a panic look.
"Come and sit here." Coach Qiao pointed to the sofa on the other side. When Chen Chong sat on it, he pushed a cup of hot tea on the coffee table over.
"Thanks."
Chen Chong held the teacup in his hand and did not drink it. All kinds of strange phenomena made him feel excited in his heart, alert to the dangers that might occur at any time.
"In the past, many people came to me, students, journalists, sports people, and even so-called Rosie fans, etc. The most they asked about was Rosie's death." Coach Qiao spoke first, "and you were the first person to suggest that Rosie was not dead by an accident."
"I'm just guessing," Chen Chong shrugged his shoulders and said silly. Without identifying the other party's reality, any affirmative answer will only increase his own risk factor.
"It's not easy to guess." Coach Qiao smiled bitterly, "So, why do you have such a guess?"
"I'm just curious, will a person who is so good at swimming really die in the swimming pool due to a cramp in the calf?" Chen Chong stared at the former, as if he wanted to see some subtle changes, such as flashing eyes, nervous expressions, etc.
However, nothing is there.
"Yes, they are already medalists, how could they die like this?" Coach Qiao repeated to himself, with a wry smile on his face, "If it were me, I could struggle to the shore with both hands."
Chen Chong's pupils shrank slightly. He didn't seem to believe that Rosie died unexpectedly. The only uncertain thing is whether his view comes from intuition or for other reasons, such as when he was at the scene at that time?
"Have you tried?" he asked back.
"No." Coach Qiao shook his head, his dispersed eyes condensed for a moment, "But she was brought out by me, and I know her strength and physical strength limits very well! Cramps may be afraid of ordinary people, but for her, it is not irresistible, let alone how big the swimming pool can be? She can't find cramps and go in the opposite direction, right?"
Chen Chong understood the meaning of the other party's words. Although it was mixed with personal paranoia, he was indeed not wrong.
Just imagine, Rosie was in a hurry to go into the water and would not swim too far. After finding her calf cramps, she would definitely choose the nearest route to dock, so she was stepped into the water.
"Since you're so sure, why didn't you question it?"
"I mentioned it!" Coach Qiao punched the coffee table, and his mood finally changed. "But what's the use? There are no scars, no poisoning, and no suspicious things. All investigation results show that Rosie was drowned unexpectedly!"
The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and both of them fell silent.
"Do you still remember the trainer at that time?" After a long time, Chen Chong continued to speak, but his tone became much softer.
Judging from the simple conversation before, the old coach with gray hair in front of him is indeed exactly what Zhang Weiwei said. He completely treats Rosie as hard work to cultivate it, which really makes people unable to associate it with the word "killer".
"Searcher" Coach Qiao frowned and thought, "I can't remember it, it's been more than five years."
Chen Chong sighed. To be honest, if he hadn't seen the illusion, it would be hard to believe that this was a human-caused death.
‘Look at what you did!’
‘I don’t know if this will happen.’
‘Stop talking, can I still not know your thoughts if you didn’t touch her, would she be able to force her to dive?
‘How did I know she would cramp in the water’
'Do you know how scared she was at that time? Once a person is nervous, his body will be nervous and cramped. You should know better than me'
‘What should I do now? I didn’t mean to do it.’
'She seems to be angry'
…
Chen Chong recalled the conversation he heard in the illusion. Although the tone and tone of the two had no characteristics, just like a robot, from the analysis of the order of front and back, we can know that it is not the same person who forced Rosie to dive and step on Rosie into the water. In other words, it is obvious that the person in front made a mistake, but the person in the back made a desperate move.
Then the relationship between these two people is worth pondering.
"Young man, although I don't know why you think Rosie didn't die accidentally, so what? Do you know the truth?" Coach Qiao sneered.
"What about you?" Chen Chong asked, "Don't you also don't believe that she died of an accident? What about your basis? Just believing that she can overcome the cramps? This is too far-fetched."
"I" coach Qiao said silly, then he looked up the direction upstairs without any trace and murmured: "Some things are not traceable."
Chen Chong frowned, not understanding what the other party was saying at all. When he was about to ask about other things, an extremely sharp scream suddenly came from the upper floor, followed by a chaotic and heavy footsteps.
