Chapter 21: Haunted House No. 31 (Part 2)
The boss said that the Russian seemed to be called Antonlie or something, but the name was very difficult to pronounce, and the girl's surname was Wang, and she was named Wang Luoxia.
As for how the two met, no one knew. Some people said that Wang Luoxia was a wandering, and some people said that she was once a performer.
The boss talked about the fragmented and incomplete things he knew, but was interrupted by Tang Qianlin: Boss, I want to know why it is called a haunted house?
The boss said: The Russian and Wang Luoxia both died there, and the Russian's original wife and his two children died together, a total of five people.
Yi Mochen asked: How did he die?
The boss shook his head: I don’t know this, but the case caused a sensation at that time. Later, the house was haunted every night. Everyone heard people quarrel with us in Russian, including men, women, and children crying.
Tang Qianlin asked: Are you still haunted now?
The boss said: I will come every now and then, and I don’t dare to listen carefully. It’s so scary.
Yi Mochen thought for a while and said: You said this case caused a sensation at that time. I am a local, why don’t I know?
The boss said: It happened in any year or month, and you and I were not born.
Tang Qianlin said: Thank you, boss.
After saying that, Tang Qianlin turned around and left, Yi Mochen also thanked him and left, and the boss was still asking when he would place an order.
Back in front of the haunted house No. 31, Tang Qianlin said to Yi Mochen: Do you still remember how she answered when I asked Xia Shuang’s surname before?
Yi Mochen recalled: She said that her surname was Li and her husband's surname was Wang.
Tang Qianlin said: Yes, but the person living here is Russian. The boss said that the woman was named Wang Luoxia.
Yi Mochen looked at Tang Qianlin: Old Tang, don’t you really think Xia Shuang is a ghost, right?
Tang Qianlin shook his head: I have said it many times. I never believe this, but there must be something wrong with it. Go and call Li Yunfan, ask him to come over, take us to the police station, and check the old files left behind in the past. Maybe you can find something.
After Li Yunfan received the call, he rushed over quickly. After the two of them told him the matter briefly, Li Yunfan didn't comment on anything and just led them to the police station.
When he arrived at the police station, Li Yunfan directly showed his ID, and things went much smoother afterwards. In addition, Li Yunfan knew the director of the police station, and the director nodded directly and asked a policeman to take them to the old archives room.
The one who took them to was an old policeman, who judging by age should have retired long ago.
The old policeman opened the lock for a long time, but couldn't open it, so he had to smash it with one hammer: I haven't opened the door of this archive room for many years, and the locks are rusted like this. Hey, what are you looking for?
Tang Qianlin asked: We want to find files about the murder case at No. 31 Kolov Street.
When the old policeman heard this, he looked up at Tang Qianlin: How do you know it was a murder?
Tang Qianlin asked back: What does it mean?
The old policeman said: This case is a mystery, it has never been solved. Why do you know it is a murder?
Tang Qianlin smiled and said: Senior, since someone died, what is it not a murder?
The old policeman pushed the door open: Coincidentally, my master was investigating this case back then. He told me that it was a murder case, but no one believed him at that time.
Li Yunfan walked into the archives: What does it mean?
The old policeman walked into the archives room and began to search on the dusty shelf, and was choked and coughed.
After coughing for a long time, the old policeman found the file and handed it to Li Yunfan: The file is here. I used to look at it. I thought I was older, but I was smarter. Maybe I could know what was going on. Who knows that no matter how many years I have passed, I still can't figure it out.
Li Yunfan didn't look at it, and gave the file to Tang Qianlin. Tang Qianlin found a corner to sit down, opened the file and started to check it.
Yi Mochen asked the old policeman: Why is that a mystery?
Why? It's simple. Five people died. The house was clean. When the body was found, it smelled. Five rotten and swelling corpses were placed in the center of the hall. Are you weird? The old policeman shook his head and sighed. Moreover, the way to death was different. The old Russian broke his neck and died of death. The original wife of the Russian was poisoned. Two children, one was hit in the head, and the other was cut into the neck and died of excessive blood loss. As for the one named Li Luoxia, she was
At this moment, Tang Qianlin suddenly stood up and looked at the file and asked: Senior, isn’t her name Wang Luoxia? Why does the file record that her name is Li Luoxia?
The old policeman said: This is what we found out later. This woman married at the age of 16 and married a man named Wang. The man was not a gambler and the woman ran away. Later, she called her surname Wang and Wang Luoxia. So those who knew her at that time thought that her surname was Wang, but in fact, her surname was Li, Li Luoxia.
After the old policeman finished speaking, Yi Mochen's scalp became numb and he subconsciously looked at Tang Qianlin. At this time, his first reaction was that Xia Shuang was really possessed by a ghost.
If she hadn't been possessed by a ghost, why would she know this thing that no one in the people knows?
Tang Qianlin handed the file to the old policeman: Thank you.
After thanking him, Tang Qianlin walked straight out, and Yi Mochen and Li Yunfan hurriedly chased after him.
Chasing to the corridor, Li Yunfan asked: Lao Tang, what did you see? Why did you leave without saying a word?
Tang Qianlin said: It's nothing, I just don't want to spend time on that mystery anymore.
Yi Mochen wondered: How could he know what Xia Shuang was going on without spending time?
Tang Qianlin said: Let me say that, one thing I can be sure of is that no matter what happened to Xia Shuang, the people who arranged all this behind the scenes were to get us into a dead end and deviate from the direction of our investigation.
Li Yunfan and Yi Mochen looked at each other, and Li Yunfan asked: Why do you do this?
Tang Qianlin said: That was a mystery. It has been decades since we checked it, but we still couldn't figure it out. Even if we find out, can it explain why Xia Shuang became like that? It's impossible. Besides, this is actually not a mystery, there is a reasonable explanation.
Yi Mochen hurriedly asked: What is the explanation?
Tang Qianlin said as he walked: Let’s talk about the cause of death first. The male owner died of a broken neck. In a place like that at home, the most likely place to break the neck is on the stairs. The hostess died of poisoning. Two children, one of them was hit hard on the head and the other was cut off by someone. The technique was cruel.
Yi Mochen asked: By the way, Wang Luoxia, no, what is the cause of Li Luoxia's death?
Tang Qianlin said: This is what I think is the key point. The archive records that Li Luoxia was beaten unrecognizable and was vaguely bloody, and there was no part of her body that was good.
When Li Yunfan heard this, he stopped and said: I have a guess.
Tang Qianlin said: Let’s talk about it and see if we think of it together.
Li Yunfan began to tell his speculation: I think it was the hostess who came to Harbin and found Li Luoxia, but the male protagonist refused to break up with Li Luoxia. Only then did Li Luoxia realize that the male protagonist was married and had children. The three of them had a dispute, but the hostess refused to leave. Li Luoxia was so angry that she killed the two children at night.
Yi Mochen interrupted him: Wait, this is wrong. Why did one child die of severe attack and the other have his neck cut? Why did Li Luoxia replace different weapons to kill two children?
Li Yunfan said: Maybe the two children were in different rooms, and Li Luoxia should use the materials locally.
Tang Qianlin did not make any comments, but just said: You continue.
Li Yunfan continued: After the child died, he was discovered by the male and female hostess, and attacked Li Luoxia in order to avenge the child. During this process, Li Luoxia pushed the male host down the stairs and broke her neck, but she was eventually beaten unrecognizable by the angry mistress. After Li Luoxia died, the mistress could not survive, so she moved the body to the hall and committed suicide by taking poison. Is this reasonable thing to my guess?
Tang Qianlin shook his head: It's close.
Li Yunfan frowned: What does it mean?
I think you are right. The mistress you mentioned before found that the male hostess was hidden in the golden house, and Li Luoxia found that the male host had children. I agree with it, but what happened later should be that Li Luoxia first poisoned the female host to death, and then was discovered by the male host. The male host was angry and asked Li Luoxia for revenge. Who knew that Li Luoxia was pushed down the stairs and broke her neck. After Tang Qianlin finished speaking, he continued to walk forward and waited for the two to ask questions, because he knew that there were still two people who did not understand in his previous speculation.
Li Yunfan asked: All the Russians are so powerful. Li Luoxia is a weak woman. How could she push the male owner downstairs?
Tang Qianlin explained: So, there was another person present, this person who accidentally pushed the male owner downstairs.
Yi Mochen said at this time: I understand, it was Li Luoxia's man before, right?
Tang Qianlin shook his head: It's unreasonable. First of all, if Li Luoxia can work together with this man to do such a thing, it means that they have feelings. Why do she still run away if they have feelings? In addition, if they really work together to do such a thing, then they will definitely have better plans to kill the Russian family at one time without such trouble.
Li Yunfan nodded: It makes sense, you continue.
Tang Qianlin said again: The sixth person is not a man, but a woman.
Yi Mochen wondered: Woman? Why is it a woman? Are you saying that Russian raised two young ones?
Tang Qianlin shook his head: No, if he raised two young men, these two could live in peace, how could they have the will to kill the hostess? I think this woman is a maid invited by the Russians.
Li Yunfan and Yi Mochen said in unison: Maid?
