"That woman is probably not dead. Don't be fooled."
After the old lady finished speaking, she carefully looked through the peephole to make sure no one was there, "No, I shouldn't say that I'm not dead. How should I say it?"
"Mother-in-law, don't be anxious. Speak slowly and I'll get you a glass of water." Ma Sitong said softly.
"I have a water glass." The old lady picked up the water glass on the coffee table. "I told my son that he thought I had Alzheimer's disease and asked me not to think nonsense, but I didn't think nonsense."
"Say." Ji Baichen also smiled.
The old lady looked at Ji Baichen. "This kid is so handsome, like a star."
Ma Sitong smiled slightly and brought the topic back, "Mother-in-law, you said Zhang Ping is not dead, what's going on?"
"There are two Zhang Pings. They look almost identical. One Zhang Ping goes out and the other Zhang Ping stays at home."
"Why did you say that?" Ji Baichen asked suspiciously, thinking, could it be Zhang Ping's daughter? "I am old and my memory is often bad. When I came back from shopping for groceries, I met Zhang Ping at the elevator entrance.
Ping, I even said hello to her, but when I walked to her door, I saw the wallet that had fallen on the ground, and I knocked on her door. Zhang Ping actually opened the door and took the wallet back. I didn’t relax at that time.
I came to my senses, and the more I thought about it when I got home, the stranger it became, why did I meet a Zhang Ping at the elevator entrance and another Zhang Ping at home? I even suspected that I had Alzheimer's disease. The more I thought about it, the weirder I felt. Then, the second time I
Early in the morning, I bought vegetables and made dumplings. I kept watching through the cat's eye. I was sure that one of them had gone out, so I took the wontons and knocked on the door. Sure enough, there was something inside.
One of them came out and brought the dumplings in." The old lady said furtively.
"I have a question. As far as I know, Zhang Ping lives in school. Do you often see her? Do they two look the same in age?" Ji Baichen asked. "Mr. Zhang
She is a music teacher at the school. She has a dormitory in the school, but she is at home on Saturdays and Sundays and will come back on Wednesday afternoon. They are exactly the same and the same age, so I am not sure whether it is Zhang Ping who died.
, she is still the same woman as Zhang Ping." The mother-in-law said suspiciously.
"Mother-in-law, why don't you tell the police and let them investigate?" Ma Sitong said in a good voice.
"My son won't let me." The mother-in-law waved her hand, "He said that would cause trouble. What if Zhang Ping comes back to seek revenge on me? I am usually the only old lady at home, and I am in great danger."
"Then why did you tell us?" Ji Baichen asked confused.
The old lady raised a smile and said, "I really can't hold it in anymore. You guys look like children. By the way, why are you asking about Zhang Ping? Are you also suspicious of her?"
"We are her students." Ji Baichen said. "Mother-in-law, except for those two identical women, have you ever seen anyone about the same age as us?" The old lady shook her head, "That's not true, Zhang.
Pingren is quite nice. She often sends snacks made by her to our neighbors. She also works as a tutor on weekends and is polite to others. How could she be killed? Will she be like her?
It was related to a woman who looked exactly the same. He was killed by that woman and the blame was put on someone else?"
The more the old lady spoke, the more frightened she became. She shook her head and said, "Don't ever tell me that I'm telling you this. I'm afraid of being retaliated against. So I didn't dare to tell the police. But I was afraid that it would be too uncomfortable to hold it in and carry it into the coffin."
Already."

Okay, I’ve talked so much, do you drink tea? There are chrysanthemum tea, Pu’er tea, and Tieguanyin tea. By the way, Roselle tea, suitable for girls.
Drink, my son bought it for me." The old lady said with a smile.
Ma Sitong could feel that the old lady was very warm and hospitable. Maybe it was because not many people came to her place, so she had a strong desire to talk.
"I want to drink roselle tea." Ma Sitong said with a smile and looked at Ji Baichen. "You still have many important things to do. I'll chat with the old lady for a while. Just call me when you leave."
Ji Baichen raised his eyebrows slightly. This fat girl has a good heart. "But, have you lost a lot of weight recently? Have you eaten?"
Ma Sitong was a little embarrassed, "I deliberately lost weight. I am going to perform in this artistic performance. I don't want to look too ugly. Girls all love to look beautiful."
"Take it easy, health is the most important thing. I think you are quite cute even if you are fat." Ji Baichen said, stood up and patted Ma Sitong on the shoulder. "I'll call you when I leave."
The old lady came out with a cup of Roselle tea and a cup of Tieguanyin to see that Ji Baichen was not there. "Is your boyfriend gone?"
Ma Sitong did not explain that Ji Baichen was not her boyfriend. After all, there was little chance of meeting her grandma again. "He still has something to do. I'm fine. I'll chat with grandma for a while."
"You're such a nice girl." The old lady sighed. She hadn't had anyone to chat with her for a long time. She told Ma Sitong everything about her family, including her son's occupation, salary, and surrounding gossip.
Ma Sitong had a good temper and listened patiently.
Two hours later, Ji Baichen called her. "Come out, I'm downstairs."
"Yes." Ma Sitong hung up the phone, "Mother-in-law, I have to leave. I will see you another day."
"You must come, please wait." The mother-in-law went to her room and held a hand full of candies, "I'll give you this to eat on the way."
"Thank you, mother-in-law." Ma Sitong opened the bag and asked the old lady to put the candies inside.
"Come back another day and my mother-in-law will make dumplings for you."
"Okay." Ma Sitong thought, buying some fruit in a few days and visiting her mother-in-law again.
She went downstairs and said to Ji Baichen: "I heard a lot of gossip from my mother-in-law. I wonder if it will be useful in solving this case?" "Tell me, I just went to the police station and gave the commissioner a task.
, and got some information." Ji Baichen said, looking at her face, "But before I say this, I have something else to tell you, your mother Yin
Well, she has been released on bail. Do you want to go see her?"
Ma Sitong was very calm, "When I went to the detention center to see her, she didn't see me. She has a lot of things going on recently, and she may not have figured out how to face me yet. There is always a chance in the future."
Ji Baichen found that Ma Sitong was really emotionally stable. When something happened to Yin Ruo, she didn't seem so anxious. She wasn't so sad when she was refused a visit. Even when she saw Cheng Shun's body last time, she didn't make a fuss. "That's okay.
I have asked the lawyer. With the testimony of the eyewitnesses, the possibility of her being convicted is very small. You can rest assured. What did you want to say to me just now?" Ji Baichen got back to business.
