Krane opened a convenience store, mainly for the doorstep business, and his neighbors were his biggest customers.
Every day he greeted his neighbours warmly, met Mr. Verber today, and incidentally cared about how his children were doing.
A woman from the convenience store came in, she was Verber's wife, she looked particularly haggard today, with scars on her face.
Krane inquired about the situation with concern, and Mrs. Verbet was a little reluctant to mention it, vaguely explaining that there were too many toys at home, and she was tripped by the toys and fell.
Krane's wife came to the convenience store and had another fight with the Krane gossip Verbers again last night.
The neighbors didn't think much of Mr. Verber, thinking he was always messing around outside, and Krane thought that since he couldn't get over it, why not get a divorce? Krane's wife thought maybe it was for the sake of the children.
Krane doesn't want to worry too much about the neighbor's business, and his wife says that Verber will beat her to the hospital sooner or later.
Krane came home from work, the phone rang in the hallway, and he rushed to answer the phone, only to crash into the stroller of the Verber family in the hallway, causing him to scream in pain.
The call was for Mr. Verber, and Mrs. Verber came out and answered the phone. He asked Mrs. Verber to remove the stroller, and Mrs. Verber said lightly that she couldn't move up and down every day.
Krane wanted to hear what the caller was going to do, but Mrs. Verber looked at him unfriendlyly, and he had to open the door and enter the house.
The gossipy soul of his wife was burning again, and she wondered if Mr. Verber had come home half an hour earlier, so why didn't he answer the phone? I also asked if the husband was a man or a woman who had called Mr. Verber.
The couple were gossiping about their neighbors when they suddenly heard the noise of the Verber family upstairs, and Mrs. Krane lifted a stool and put it in the bathtub, pulling her head out of the window to eavesdrop on the neighbor's quarrel.
She told her husband that Mr. Verber was threatening his wife's physical safety and beating her, most likely killing her.
The husband thinks that someone is naturally aggressive, thinks that the wife is too fussy, and the husband and wife fight at the head of the bed and the end of the bed, don't be too surprised.
The next day, Verber appeared at the convenience store as usual, and it seemed that it was really a false alarm. Mrs. Verber wants to buy candy, and Krane asks if she wants to buy the kind of sugar that Mr. Verber often buys for her, and Mrs. Verber is stunned and says yes.
She saw the leftover cardboard boxes in the convenience store and offered to ask for one to hold the toys for the children of the family, Krane cheerfully agreed, and offered to help her carry the boxes upstairs, Mrs. Verber was pleased, praising him as a good man.
After work in the evening, Krane delivered the box to Mrs. Verber. At this time, the phone rang again, and it was Krane's wife who answered it, and it was Mr. Verber again.
Mrs. Verber said she was taking a shower and asked Krane to leave the box at the door, and then told the caller to call later.
Krane agreed, and when he was gone, Mrs. Verber's hand was stretched out from inside the room and the box was pulled into the room.
The wife told Brane that it was Mr. Verber's company owner who had called, that Verber was not at work today, and that she wondered where Verber had gone
The wife asks Brane what he was doing upstairs, and Brane explains that he was sending Mrs. Verner a cardboard box for the children's toys.
In the evening, a guest came to the house, who said he was from the health bureau, to check the hygiene of the building.
The guest behaved strangely, checked the hygiene, but opened the window to look around.
Krane felt something was wrong and wanted to check the stranger's PAPERS, he pulled Krane into the bathroom, revealing his identity, it turned out that he was a police officer, because he received a report that Verber on the second floor had been beaten by his wife, so he came to investigate, and it turned out that Mr. Verber was missing.
Brane said that the couple often fought, and Mr. Verber disappeared after the fight the day before yesterday, but such a big person, even if he died, Mrs. Vetber alone would certainly not be able to move. Where exactly will it be hidden? He suddenly remembered the large box that Mrs. Verber had asked for.
Mrs. Krane noticed mrs. Verber was out of the house and told Brane and the officer that they had sneaked into Berber's house.
They looked around and found the box behind the couch, but when they opened it, there were only toys inside.
A few days later, at dinner, the wife began to talk about Verber again, and she said that verber's boss called again and confirmed that Verber had not been to work for a week.
Mr. Brane said impatiently that Verber was not dead, and the neighbor Mrs. Gloritsky told him that Mr. Verber had gone to his parents in Queens and that his wife would take care of herself.
Her wife's gossip spirit was not easily extinguished when it was burned, and she actually called her Verber parents in Queens, telling Krane that Verber had not gone to her parents' house at all.
Convinced that Verber was killed by his wife, the wife told Brane that if he didn't call the police, she would call the police herself.
Mrs. Verber goes to the store again to buy candy, Brane asks if she wants to buy some milk for the children, Mrs. Verber says that the children have gone to the grandparents' house, and Verber has gone.
After listening to Mrs. Verber's words and thinking about what her wife had said, he realized that Mrs. Verber was lying and immediately called the police.
The officer heard the news, and they were puzzled that Mrs. Verber had not been out for a week, and the body must still be in the building. The house was also searched and found, so where would she move the body?
Brane suddenly thought of the basement, and there were stairs in the building, and Mrs. Verber had probably moved the body to the basement.
When they reached the basement, they began to search for old boxes.
While the search was being made, Brane's wife also came, and she was frightened, brane went over to comfort his wife, and suddenly his foot slammed into a stroller, and he cried out in pain. Suddenly, he remembered something.
Yes, every time I answered the phone before, I would hit the stroller, but I haven't hit it in the past few days, and I didn't even find that it was no longer in its original position. Brane suddenly felt a chill coming from behind him.
The police lifted the stroller and sure enough, they found Verber's body. The wife fell into her husband's arms and cried out: I know, I know he is dead.
Verber's wife slowly walked down the stairs, she muttered to herself, Verber kept cheating, even wanted to go abroad with Xiaosan but did not care about the children, for a woman, even did not care about her own flesh and blood, this is why she killed her husband.
Suddenly, she looked at Krane's wife with hatred and cried out in a hoarse voice: "The one who should kill you the most is you, and you are going to take him away from me."
She rushed forward and grabbed Brane's wife's neck deadly.
Krane watched all this, and he suddenly understood why his wife was so interested in the things at the Verber family, and why she didn't even know how long Mr. Verber had been home...
