After traveling to a country where women are king, I abandoned my husband and children

Zhang Junjie was wearing a melon-shaped hat, a gray jacket, and cloth shoes. His dark face was covered with beard, and it seemed that he hadn't shaved for about a month.

Although this person has always been unsophisticated, he has never been so dirty before.

If you don’t know him, you might think he is a man in his 40s or 50s.

"Wearing this will make you the least noticeable in the alleys, and it will be easy to blend in with the old men and get information." After saying that, Zhang Junjie glanced at him and said with some disdain: "General, this outfit of yours is too eye-catching."

"Stop joking and tell me where Jiang Yongjie is." Lu Yao frowned.

"You come with me."

Zhang Junjie took Lu Yao and walked left and right in the narrow alley.

"This kind of alley is like this, it's easy for outsiders to get lost." Zhang Junjie whispered, "Bajiao Hutong is actually an area waiting to be demolished. The houses are basically rented to outsiders, and only some old men and women live locally. We lost Jiang Yongjie near the airport at the beginning, and I checked it out, and I think Bajiao Hutong should be the most likely place for him to come. After all, there are all kinds of people here, and the appearance of a stranger will not attract anyone's attention at all." Of course, this is just a guess, and the accuracy rate is only 50-50.

But they are short of manpower and cannot get help from Hengyang for the time being, so they can only use this stupid method.

And this speculation is based on the fact that Jiang Yongjie has no connections in Hengyang. If this is not the case, then they are all working in vain.

"I have been making secret visits for some time, and I just got something today. There is an old man named Jiang. His wife has passed away, and he doesn't get along well with his children, so he lives alone in Bajiao Hutong. His family has a two-story small building and a small courtyard. He lives on the first floor of the small building, and rents out the courtyard and the second floor of the small building. I asked about it. On August 8, he had a new tenant. She was a middle-aged woman with a hunchback and a short stature. Her voice was very hoarse. She said she was sick. After she came, she stayed in the house all the time, and asked him to help her buy things. But once when he was delivering something to her, he heard him talking on the phone at the door. He spoke in a manly voice and called himself Jiang Dapao. Isn't Jiang Yongjie's nickname Jiang Dapao? He really likes to call himself Jiang Dapao when he speaks."

Lu Yao was suspicious after hearing this, "How come Mr. Jiang didn't call the police for such a long time? And he told the police as soon as you asked him when you came to his house?" Why did he feel something was wrong?

"Jiang Yongjie paid twice the rent, and he didn't just tell me when asked." Zhang Junjie said with a painful look on his face: "He had a strange expression at the time, so I gave him 500 yuan, and then he told me the truth."

This is even more wrong!

"Here in Yaojing, even in a place like Bajiao Hutong, the rent must be over a thousand, right? If Jiang Yongjie really pays double the rent, would the landlord sell him out for 500 yuan?" Lu Yao asked back.

This……

"Then...will this guy be arrested or not?" Zhang Junjie felt unsure.

"Let's go and take a look first." Regardless of whether the tenant was Jiang Yongjie or not, Lu Yao felt that this matter was related to Jiang Yongjie.

Soon, the two arrived in front of a small, mottled and old building. Zhang Junjie went forward and knocked on the door. The door was opened from the inside. An old man poked his head out from inside. When he saw Zhang Junjie, he was immediately happy, "Brother, you are finally here. I did as you said and kept listening to the movements on the other side to make sure the person is still there."

Zhang Junjie looked at Mr. Jiang for a long time, but couldn't find any flaws in his expression.

"Brother?" Uncle Jiang rubbed his hands and said in a flattering and eager tone, "We agreed on this before."

Zhang Junjie gritted his teeth, took out his phone and said, "I'll transfer you."

Uncle Jiang quickly showed the payment code.

Lu Yao stretched out his hand to cover Zhang Junjie's mobile phone camera, "Wait."

He looked at Uncle Jiang and said, "Give me the money after we meet the person."

Hearing this, Uncle Jiang was a little disappointed, but not angry.

Lu Yao lowered his eyes. Could it be that this person was not lying?

The two followed Uncle Jiang and came to the small courtyard opposite the small building. This small courtyard was really small. It looked like there were two rooms, but one was only half the size of the other, and it was obviously only used as a storage room. The yard was also filled with some old things such as sofas and mattresses, and the cobblestone path in the middle was almost submerged by weeds.

It's obvious that no one has lived in this small courtyard for a long time.

When Uncle Jiang went to knock on the door, Lu Yao went around to the back of the house.

There was no response to Mr. Jiang's knock on the door, so Lu Yao broke in through the window without hesitation.

"You...you...who are you?" As soon as he landed on the bed, a terrified voice came from the bed.

This voice...although hoarse, it is clearly a woman's!

The moment the lights came on, Zhang Junjie also broke in.

"You actually lied to me!" He grabbed Uncle Jiang's neck and lifted him up.

Uncle Jiang's face flushed red, his whole body was half hanging in the air, his mouth was open but he couldn't utter a word.

"Put the man down if you don't want anyone to die." Lu Yao frowned.

He looked at Uncle Jiang. He was obviously very scared and his pupils were trembling.

Zhang Junjie snorted and put the man down. Uncle Jiang coughed violently and it took him a long time to calm down.

"Okay, tell me, who taught you to lie?" At this point, Lu Yao no longer expected to catch Jiang Yongjie this time.

"If you don't tell me, don't blame me for being rude!" Zhang Junjie threatened him.

In fact, Uncle Jiang had no intention of hiding anything, but after being exposed, he told everything.

They then learned that the old lady who looked like she couldn't breathe had been abandoned by her children because she had lung disease, so she rented the courtyard from Uncle Jiang. The courtyard had fallen into disrepair and was no longer available for rent, but because the old lady had no money, he rented it to her.

The old lady originally wanted to find a place where she could rest in peace. Uncle Jiang knew this. He sympathized with the old lady and thought that the courtyard would be demolished soon, so even if someone died in it, it would not affect anything. In the case of the old lady, he would not be needed to collect the body. The government would contact her children, and if they could not contact them, they would cover the loss.

But after all, she was a living person, and Uncle Jiang couldn't bear to see her starve to death under his nose, so he would send her extra food from time to time, and that's how the old lady survived.

"Two days later, a new tenant came to the small building. He was a man in his thirties or forties, and he was very friendly. He helped me with anything that was inconvenient to do in my room. He taught me those lies to you," Uncle Jiang explained.

"What about others?" Zhang Junjie asked excitedly.

Lu Yao shook his head in his heart. Is there any need to ask? He must have run away long ago.
