小尤说：“中年男性死者叫吴国庆，是做水果批发生意的，住在本小区85号203房间。那个地下室是他租借来作仓库用的，钥匙只有他一个人有。吴国庆好像朋友不多，亲戚也都在外地。据小区居民讲，和他一起住在203的，还有一个女人，长得很漂亮，应该是他老婆。但据知情人透露，那个女的好像以前曾做过暗娼，跟了吴国庆后，生活逐渐稳定下来。但谁知后来因为赌博，吴国庆经常对她实施家庭暴力。那个女性死者目前正在接受法医尸检，明早会得到报告。我猜测，她应该就是吴国庆的老婆吧。”

Xiao You said: “The middle-aged male victim is named Wu Guoqing. He was a wholesale fruit salesman and lived in room 203 in building 85. He rented the basement and used it for storage; he was the only one with a key to it. It seems that Wu Guoqing had few friends and his relatives also lived far away. According to residents in the compound, there was also a woman who lived with him in room 203. She was very beautiful and was probably his wife. However, according to various tips, she had also practiced prostitution in the past. After she married Wu Guoqing, her life gradually became more stable. But no one could have guessed that later, due to gambling, Wu Guoqing would often abuse her. The forensics team is currently conducting an autopsy on the female victim. We should have a report by tomorrow morning. I would guess that she is Wu Guoqing’s wife."
