Chapter 1004 Something's fishy about this.
"Hey……"
Shen Qing tried to call out to one of them to ask, but everyone seemed to ignore her and hurriedly left.
She looked puzzled. What was going on?
Could there be something going on here?
No, she had to find out the truth; she couldn't let Yan Bei continue to be entangled in trouble.
Shen Qing stood downstairs at Li Hua's house.
She was waiting for someone. She would ask anyone who came over, and someone would surely tell her the situation.
She stood there for a moment, when suddenly an elderly man passed by.
Shen Qing immediately spoke up, "Hello, ma'am, I'd like to ask if the person in apartment 402 of this building is...?"
Before she could finish speaking, the old woman quickly waved her hand, "Don't ask me, I don't know anything."
"Auntie, could you tell me?"
"Girl, you should leave! Don't ask about such things."
"aunt……"
Shen Qing was about to say something more when the old woman hurriedly walked away.
She frowned slightly; everyone seemed to know something, but no one seemed willing to say it.
Does Li Hua's family have some secrets that people don't want to talk about?
How strange.
Why doesn't anyone say anything?
She thought about it and realized that standing here wasn't a solution.
Even if she sees people, no one is willing to tell her.
Shen Qing thought for a moment, then turned and went upstairs.
This is an old residential area, so there are no access restrictions and you can go directly upstairs.
Shen Qing climbed the stairs step by step.
Li Hua's home is in room 402.
She stopped at the door of room 402.
The door is still the old-fashioned kind. It seems like most other houses have replaced their doors with modern ones.
It seems that Li Hua's family is not well-off.
Shen Qing stood at the door, observing the situation.
Suddenly I saw a note in the innermost gap of the security door.
Shen Qing inserted two fingers and slowly pulled them out.
Open it and take a look.
There are several large characters on it that read "Pay back your debts".
Shen Qing was taken aback. Was this note addressed to their family? Or had someone accidentally dropped it here?
If Li Hua's family really is in debt, then it makes sense that Li Hua's mother and brother are so eager to compensate them.
But what was the cause of Li Hua's death? It couldn't have been simply from working overtime a few times that her health suffered such severe damage. And it wasn't due to excessive overtime.
Shen Qing was about to put the note back in my hand.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps coming from downstairs.
She tried to climb up little by little, not wanting anyone to know that she had come for room 402.
She climbed the steps like a passerby.
Suddenly she stopped walking and turned around to see that the person had stopped at the door of room 402.
I saw Li Hua's brother and mother sneaking in through the door.
Shen Qing quickly climbed a few steps, shifting her body slightly to avoid being discovered.
Then, after hearing the door slam shut, Shen Qing went downstairs.
what happened?
These two people just came back from outside.
They seem to be in a hurry.
What is this for?
Shen Qing had no choice but to walk to the foot of another building. If she continued to stand under Li Hua's building, others would become suspicious.
She had just walked to the foot of another building when suddenly a ball rolled towards her feet.
Shen Qing glanced down and then a little girl of about eight or nine years old walked over.
"Is this your ball?" Shen Qing asked.
"Mmm." The little girl nodded.
Shen Qing bent down, picked up the ball, and handed it to the little girl in front of her.
"for you."
"Thank you auntie."
The little girl was about to turn and leave with the ball when Shen Qing called out to her.
"Wait a minute, kid."
"Auntie, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I'd like to ask if anything happened in that building over there in this neighborhood?"
The little girl lowered her eyes and whispered, "Auntie, I heard Grandma say that someone died in that building."
"Do you know how you died?"
The little girl shook her head. "I guess his family beat him to death."
Shen Qing frowned. "Why do you say that?"
"Because I often saw that older brother being beaten by his family."
"Is this happening?"
"Yes!"
"Do you know anything else?"
"Auntie, I don't know. My grandma is here, so I have to go now."
The little girl turned and ran away.
Shen Qing was even more puzzled.
Even this little girl didn't want to say anything more.
And the little girl just said that the person was often beaten. Could she be referring to Li Hua, who is often beaten by his brother and mother?
What exactly happened?
At this time her phone rang.
It was Yan Bei who called.
"Hey."
"Honey, how are things on your end?"
“I’ve discovered that Li Hua’s family is definitely hiding something. Even the residents in this neighborhood are reluctant to talk about their family. There must be something going on,” Shen Qing said.
"Honey, it's getting late. Why don't you come back? We can think of another way."
"Wait a minute, let me observe a bit more. By the way, I just saw Li Hua's mother and brother sneaking back, like they were up to no good."
You mean they're at home now?
"Yes. But they didn't spot me."
"Okay, call me if anything happens. I've also arranged for people to protect you in the vicinity, so you don't need to be afraid."
"I understand, I'll hang up now!" Then Shen Qing hung up the phone.
The sky was getting a little darker.
There are fewer and fewer people in the neighborhood.
It seems impossible for her to get any answers from people.
It was a bit chilly. She put her hands in the pockets of her coat.
Suddenly, he found the note he had just discovered on Li Hua's door.
There was an address on the back of the note.
No. 210 Meihua Road!
What kind of address is this? Could it be the creditor's address?
Shen Qing raised her wrist and glanced at the time.
It's really getting late.
She might go to that address to inquire, but she doesn't know who the person is, and she's afraid there might be some danger.
She wanted to take out her phone and talk to Yan Bei about it, or ask Yan Bei to go with her.
But then she paused.
Yan Bei was already quite busy, and she didn't want to trouble him any further with this investigation.
Moreover, Yan Bei just said that he sent people to protect her secretly, so there must be some of Yan Bei's people nearby, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Shen Qing planned to go to that address alone to inquire about it.
Then she took out her phone and navigated to the map.
That place isn't too far from here; it should be about a 15 to 20-minute drive.
Shen Qing didn't think much of it. In order to find out, she drove directly to No. 210 Meihua Road.
This is a hutong (alleyway).
The alleyways are lined with single-story houses.
She found number 210.
He glanced around, hesitated for a moment, and then knocked on the door.
After knocking a few times, an impatient voice could be heard from inside.
"Who?"
Shen Qing did not respond and continued knocking on the door.
Then they heard someone inside ask again, "Who is it? Is it mute?" The voice was very rude.
Shen Qing was a little scared.
But she still thought that since she was already there, she should definitely ask her questions.
She forced herself to speak and said, "I'm here to see someone. Could you please open the door?"
After a while, the door was opened.
