At half past six in the morning, before dawn, Bai Song got up. Because most of the food and drink yesterday were vomited, when he woke up, Bai Song didn't feel like a hangover, and at this time Team Zhou had woken up and didn't know where he went.

Bai Song put on his clothes, packed his things, and arrived in the courtyard, when the sky had begun to shine.

Team Zhou was sitting at the door, holding a bowl of porridge, chatting with the owner, and it was really early enough to get up.

Seeing Bai Song coming, Team Zhou got up, served Bai Song rice porridge for the night, and said with concern: "I drank a lot yesterday, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. Bai Song took the rice porridge handed over by Team Zhou with both hands: "Thank you, Team Zhou." ”

"Well, if you wash up, go to the river, and you go here and there to get water. Team Zhou pointed to the bright distance.

"Good. Bai Song, still a little confused, put the porridge on the wooden table, said goodbye, and walked to the river with a backpack containing toiletries.

The tents are gone. There is really nothing to pay attention to in this village, and the absence of the tent is really conspicuous.

At this time, the sky has not completely lit up, that is to say, these two people have already set out of camp when it is still dark, and this thing exudes a bit of an abnormal atmosphere.

After washing, the river is still so clear. The people in the village have been drinking and using water in this river for generations, but because there are too few people and there are no chemicals, the pollution of the river is basically negligible.

Back at the residence, the landlord had already left, Master Wei and Xu Tao also got up, and the four of them discussed together.

Here's the thing, Li is the eldest daughter of this family, and she has been studying well since she was a child, but because she has two younger brothers at home, the family has always disagreed with her to go to school. In the early 90s, which happened to be a critical period for the promotion of compulsory education and the eradication of illiteracy, the family agreed to let her go to school with the support of the H County Education Committee in the village.

Until junior high school, Li's academic performance has been very good, she wanted to continue high school, but the family did not allow it, at that time high school still needed a sum of money, and the family took it upon themselves to give Li Xu to a family in a village next door.

Li ran away.

During this time outside, Li went to high school, but he didn't finish it, so he started to work part-time. This matter is very embarrassing for this family, but no one can find Li, so they can only give up.

A few years ago, the family received a remittance of 500 yuan from Li. 500 yuan around 2005 is basically half a year's income of a family here, but the parents of this family still look down on Li.

Later, Li sent more and more money, until almost three years ago, she thought that she had paid off the debt she owed to her parents when she ran away, so she came back with a few people.

When he came back this time, Li brought 10,000 yuan in cash and a lot of valuable things, but his rigid father only wanted to keep her to fulfill the marriage contract ten years ago.

Even if the man is married, he has to give Li to the younger brother of that family. This kind of thing seemed unreasonable to Li and a few of her friends, so the two sides fought.

There were many people on Li's father's side, and in the end, Li escaped with the help of a few friends and cash.

Since then, there have been more rumors in the village, all saying that Li is doing unclean work outside.

In fact, the residents of the village are not to blame for this matter, it is purely that Li's parents have a problem, and when they take their daughter's money, they spend it more directly than anyone else, and they oppress their children to do this kind of thing for the so-called rules. It's not rigid at all, it's that the brain isn't quite right.

And the most important thing is that the fact that the work that Li is doing outside is not clean came out of the mouth of Li's mother, and it is no wonder that the villagers are talking about it.

In fact, the possibility that Li is engaged in special services has long been considered by the task force, after all, it is indeed suspicious that a girl with no education and no background income is too considerable, but the task force did not find any clues in this investigation.

The four of them discussed for almost 20 minutes while eating, basically just these clues, considering that the deceased's parents called Li "Fang", the pseudonym of the remittance slip should be the deceased himself.

Not long after eating, it was already dawn, and Ma Zhiyuan also came, he slept in another villager's house yesterday. It can be seen that Ma Zhiyuan drinks a lot of alcohol, he drank a lot yesterday, there is no prohibition on horseback riding after drinking, and the young men drink well.

Several people packed up their things together, and went to Li's house by the way, if there was no gain, they were ready to withdraw.

It stands to reason that Li's relatives should go to collect the body, but if they are clearly informed, they will not go, and the government will have other ways to deal with it.

Packing up his things, Bai Song chatted a few words about the two travelers who lived in the tent, and when he talked about this, he heard Ma Zhiyuan say that when the owner of the house he stayed in last night went back from drinking with him at night, he saw the tent and said, these two men are a bit like the people Dafang brought when he came back.

Ma Zhiyuan's words were fluttering, but as soon as the four of them heard it, it was like a bomb sounded in their ears, and Team Zhou was about to go out immediately, but Bai Song stopped Team Zhou and told him that the two people had left half an hour ago.

This fuss made Ma Zhiyuan a little embarrassed, he was not a policeman, so he didn't take this matter seriously.

Of course, Ma Zhiyuan can't be blamed for this matter, Team Zhou still thanked him, and several people discussed what to do next.

"There are several ways that people can walk outside this village, but there are only three roads that horses can walk, one is the road into the village, one is the road to the tea mountain, and the other is the road to another village. Ma Zhiyuan gestured.

"Okay, I suggest, take a gamble, go, go to the third way, and see if you can catch up. "Team Zhou didn't hesitate.

"Brother Ma, how many roads are there in the village you mentioned, where can you go?Is there a road to the county or town from the place you said?" Bai Song hurriedly asked.

"There are three or four roads in that village, and I don't know how many of them go, but I am sure that this road here is the only way to the town. Ma Zhiyuan said affirmatively.

"Hmm. When Team Zhou heard this, he also hesitated: "What do you think?"

"Team Zhou, let's chase it like this, there are too many forks in the road, it's easy to chase and lose, I think we might as well wait here and wait for them to come back. Bai Song said.

"What if they come back a long time later?" asked Xu Tao.

"Bai Song has a point. Master Wei said: "We sent someone to the town to report the situation to the detachment leader, we have to be prepared to stay here for a long time, and we also have to buy some daily necessities." The rest are waiting here. “
