The next-door neighbor opened the door and looked at them through the gate. She saw Song Zhi standing at the entrance and Zhu knocking on the door. After looking at them carefully for a few seconds and confirming that they were not thugs, she opened her gate. She reached her head out and asked. "Who are you looking for?"
Zhu's hand froze in mid-air. When he saw the neighbor open the door, he stopped and asked courteously. "We are looking for the family living here, but no one is answering the door."
The neighbor enquired quizzically. "Who are you? Don't you know the Huo family has moved?"
Zhu responded back in surprise. "Have they moved already?"
"Uh huh. They moved away last year." The neighbor nodded before adding. "Stop knocking. No one is living in the unit."
The moment she finished her sentence, she closed her door.
