Nightmare Attack

"Did something happen?" Lin Waner asked, her voice was very pleasant.

It seemed that he had been alone for a long time. After the old man said a few more words, he began to lose control of his words.

The gray-haired old man's eyes are no longer bright, but when talking about this matter, the old man's expression can't help but change.

Worried about being disturbed by other people, Jiang Cheng pushed the old man to a relatively secluded location on the side of the road.

There should have been a garden here, but it had not been taken care of for a long time. Now it has long been abandoned, and the flower beds are overgrown with weeds.

"Oh." The old man hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Nearly 20 years have passed since that incident. I was still repairing cars in front of the community at that time. Many people have forgotten it now."

Looking in the direction of the villa, the old man said slowly: "There used to be a family living there. I heard that the male owner was a businessman, and his family conditions are unknown."

"Unlike now, those who could afford such a villa had to have more than just money, they also needed connections."

"That woman." The old man seemed to recall that time again. He turned his head and looked at Jiang Cheng, who was sitting next to him. He paused and said, "I'm not just talking nonsense. That woman is pretty. Compared with your fiancée, she's no worse." ”

"You don't have to choose your appearance or figure."

"When they first moved here, many people were envious of them. Their family was also kind to their neighbors."

"By the way." The old man said, "They also have a child."

"Boy or girl?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Boy, he looks about 1 or 2 years old. He looks very cute."

Something flashed in Jiang Cheng's eyes, as if some of his guesses had failed.

According to the old man's description, this should be a very harmonious family. The man has a successful career, the woman has a gentle personality and has a lovely child.

Jiang Cheng stared at the old man intently, waiting for the next step.

And the twist.

There must be a reason why men and women end up like this.

"But then everyone gradually realized that something was wrong." The old man shook his head and his tone changed. "They moved here in the winter. They wore many clothes at that time and couldn't see anything. But by the turn of spring and summer the next year , I can’t hide it anymore.”

"The woman's arms and legs are all covered with scars." The old man lowered his voice, "Most of them are new wounds, and they look very pitiful."

"Who would have thought that that man, who seemed like a nice guy, could be so ruthless behind his back."

"Later, neighbors nearby also said that in the dead of night, they could hear the sound of beatings, as well as the cries of women and children."

At this point, the old man's face suddenly became angry, "What's even more outrageous is that he actually did it to his own child!"

"The child is also injured?" Jiang Cheng asked with a frown. (っ◔◡◔)っ

"Yeah." The old man nodded, looking very angry.

"Do you know why?"

"What else could be the reason? A woman is too beautiful, and there are a lot of gossips. The man suspects that she is having an affair with someone else outside. He drinks too much, and the more he thinks about it, the angrier he gets. He beats her when he gets home."

This reason is too simple and crude, Jiang Cheng thought.

"Later I heard that the man found a nanny and said he was taking care of the children at home. In fact, when he was not at home, he found someone to stare at the woman to see if she had done anything wrong to him." The old man continued.

"From that time on, women basically didn't leave the house. Men didn't allow her, so the neighbors couldn't see her. But you can still hear beatings and scoldings at night, as well as women's cries."

"If this is the case, won't anyone help call the police?" Lin Wan'er's pleasant voice came, but no matter how you heard it, it was mixed with a chill.

The old man frowned unnaturally and avoided Lin Wan'er's gaze.

It can be seen that the neighbors are just gossiping, and no one wants to offend a rich and powerful person for an unfamiliar woman.

Lin Wan'er smiled and said nothing.

"What happened next?" Now that things have happened, Jiang Cheng is more concerned about the truth.

"Later," the old man swallowed, his voice was very low, "then the boy died."

"died?"

"Yes." The old man said, "It was quite sudden. I was shocked when I heard the news."

"How did you die?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know about this, but not long after, the woman disappeared. Some people whispered that she was sent to a mental hospital by the man."

"Maybe he can't bear such a blow and has gone crazy." The old man took a long breath, his tone full of regret.

It seems that this woman is the woman in Ward 624.

I learned from the old man that the woman’s name was Xiang Nan.

The man’s name is Yin Zhenliang.

The old man couldn't tell clearly what happened next. He only heard that the man named Yin Zhenliang killed Xiang Nan later.

As for how and where he was killed, he didn't know.

This was passed on by neighbors in the same community.

Since then, everyone has stayed away from this villa. Even if they pass by, they will speed up and feel it is unlucky.

As time passed, the place became deserted and became what it is now.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Lin Wan'er seemed to be very interested in the villa and planned to go in and have a look. There might be clues inside.

But it was rejected by Jiang Cheng. This villa looked very gloomy from the outside. If you really wanted to go in, you might not know what would happen.

If the person next to him was not Lin Wan'er, Jiang Cheng might still give it a try.

On the way back, Jiang Cheng looked at the receding scenery outside the window, and an idea emerged in his mind when he contacted the situation mentioned by Blind Zheng.

Get off the car, go back to the hospital, and go upstairs.

After opening the door, Huaiyi and Cao Yang were already waiting in the room.

Judging from their expressions, they have gained a lot.

After sitting down, without any nonsense, Jiang Cheng began to introduce the clues he had obtained. After hearing what happened to Xiang Nan, several women reacted very strongly.

"It seems that this Yin Zhenliang is a guy with a beastly face. He often beats Xiang Nan and even attacks children!" Yu Yu clenched his fists.

To her, this was simply unreasonable.

Compared with her reaction, Huaiyi's expression was slightly calmer, "I'm wondering, what is his purpose for doing this?"

"I don't feel like I'm just venting my dissatisfaction." Huaiyi raised his head and cast his gaze on Jiang Cheng. He had an inexplicable trust in the latter.

Maybe he came to save himself.

"Why do I feel like a threat?" Cao Yang scratched his hair and continued, "Do you still remember what Blind Man Zheng said?"

"He said that the woman's husband fell in love with a particularly high-status woman. The other party couldn't tolerate the woman, so he asked someone to issue an appraisal and defined the woman as having a mental problem."

"Is Yin Zhenliang threatening Xiang Nan to leave him by beating her like this and even attacking the child?"
