On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, several guests from afar received red envelopes for the New Year, and everyone smiled and accepted them happily, which was undoubtedly a surprise.

When Qiu Xi woke up, he smelled a faint fragrance, he was startled, turned over and jumped up, and immediately realized that this should be Li Tian's room.

He was a little flustered, and hurriedly pushed the door out, but fortunately Li Tian was not nearby, and he didn't see his embarrassment, so he relaxed a little.

At this time, it was already a little late, and Li Tian, who came to deliver hot water, smiled when he saw this: "Rice wine has a lot of energy, you drank so much, you actually woke up?"

Qiuxi scratched his head shyly, and he said, "It's getting dark all of a sudden, it's really troublesome for you......"

Li Tian smiled slightly: "You're welcome." She paused, "Your amount of alcohol is not bad, I really don't see it, my family's wine, almost ten years, ordinary people drink a pound, and they may not wake up tomorrow." ”

She gave a playful thumbs up and said to the nunu in Li Yiting's house: "Look at them, they're all down!"

Before the words fell, a deep voice sounded next to him: "Who said that?"

The two turned back in surprise, and a figure stood in the dim light in front of the foyer, smoking a cigarette leisurely.

Chen Tianyu continued: "Didn't disturb your chat?"

Li Tian pouted mischievously: "Knowingly asking! A few catties of wine didn't make you enjoy it...... Okay, you talk. She returned to the kitchen with water.

Qiu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, it was not that he didn't have feelings for Li Tian, but he was still too unfamiliar now.

Chen Tianyu didn't mind interrupting their conversation, he felt the need to have an in-depth conversation with Qiu Xi, there was only one law enforcer in the entire Luoshui Village.

And in his heart, there are not only thefts but also murders in Luoshui Village, but the state of Yiting makes him worried, the more drunk he is, the more sober Yiting is, and when he arrives at home, he is really drunk.

So he had to be sober and in dire need of a helper.

Qiu Xi had also calmed down, and he could see that the person in front of him was obviously looking for him.

"Uh......" he didn't know what to call it.

Chen Tianyu smiled slightly: "My name is Chen Tianyu, and they all call me Fourth Brother." ”

Qiuxi nodded: "Fourth brother, hello." ”

Chen Tianyu got straight to the point: "I used to be a criminal policeman...... If you need some help, you can come to me. ”

Qiu Xi was surprised: "Really? It's really disrespectful...... I mean, how do you feel like you're not ordinary? ”

"I have changed careers for several years, and the business has long been rusty, so it's okay to help you analyze and analyze. Chen Tianyu tried to keep it as much as possible.

"I'm just starting out in the industry, I don't know too much, this time I came to Luoshui Village, it can be regarded as a workout...... Fourth brother, please give me more advice. Qiuxi said politely, this is obviously a senior.

Chen Tianyu hit the nail on the head and said, "Don't you have a clue about the members of the theft gang?"

Qiu Xi bowed: "In fact, there are several key suspects, but there are too many people to lock the suspect." Almost everyone in Falling Water Village is a gambler, and everyone looks suspicious......"

Chen Tianyu reminded: "Have you ever thought that the theft itself may not be difficult to detect. ”

Qiuxi didn't quite understand: "What do you mean?"

"If it's just a theft, look for a means of transportation, check all kinds of microtraces, and then investigate the dynamics of the antique market, and you can quickly detect it, after all, the Buddha statue is a big object, and there will always be clue......s," he continued, "As for the gang, things gather people in groups, and gangs always have to meet, no matter how you say it, it's just a rabble of people who want to see money, they still have to share the spoils after all, and it is still clear who suddenly has money." ”

Qiuxi suddenly realized: "That's right, as long as I find the gambling den and investigate it casually, the situation will be clear." ”

Chen Tianyu waved his hand: "What I'm worried about is that a big conspiracy may be brewing in Luoshui Village, and it's not as simple as a theft. ”

"How can you see that?" Qiuxi said in surprise with wide eyes.

Chen Tianyu said: "Do you know that the temple of Guanyin Temple is dead?"

Qiuxi nodded: "I know this, people are terrible, Li Miaozhu died of depression, this is what his eldest brother told me...... I am also a person from half of the Fallen Water Village, and I know the lethality of gossip. ”

"Li Miaozhu actually committed suicide by taking poison. Chen Tianyu told Qiuxi the ins and outs of the whole matter, and finally said, "According to my analysis, Li Miaozhu should have been murdered, and the murder method was very professional." ”

"According to what you said, it's really suspicious, should I notify my colleagues from the criminal police team to investigate?" Qiuxi's expression was solemn, and he also felt that things seemed to be getting more and more complicated.

Chen Tianyu sighed: "It's just a suspicion, can the criminal police team be dispatched? Besides, Li Miaozhu has already been buried in the ground, and all traces have disappeared together. ”

Qiuxi's heart suddenly moved: "Why didn't you report the case earlier?"

"That's what I wonder the most. Chen Tianyu analyzed, "There is no doubt that the perpetrator's methods are professional, but the indifference of the villagers to Li Miaozhu's death is what interests me the most." ”

Qiu Xi understood: "You want me to investigate the background of Falling Water Village?"

Chen Tianyu's gaze fell into the distance.

"I have a gut feeling that there is a group of people in Falling Water Village who are ready to move, and it is not terrible to come to the stage, what is terrible is those who are waiting for an opportunity in the back, and the case in Falling Water Village is far from over!"

His tone was suddenly a little eerie, which made the young Qiuxi shiver involuntarily.

"This ...... If there really is another conspiracy......" Qiuxi plucked up his courage and said, "Can you help me?" ”

Chen Tianyu came back to his senses, he suddenly thought of the haunting on the day of the funeral, this was the most incomprehensible thing for him, he believed in Yiting's judgment of death, but the haunting in the coffin was also a personal experience, how can this be explained? Everything cannot be without a reason.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best to help you get things out of the way...... I'm a very curious person. ”

Qiuxi felt a surge of blood in his heart, the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the fear has long disappeared.

"Fourth brother, I will leave you my mobile phone number, if there is anything in the future, just ask. "Qiuxi is categorical.

The two chatted a few more words, then waved goodbye, Qiuxi has to return to Taicun, the time is a little late, tomorrow is still the first day of the new year.

There are still basic rules to follow.

Chen Tianyu looked at the back of Qiuxi leaving, thoughtfully, he seemed to see himself who had accidentally embarked on the road of criminal investigation back then.

Isn't it ignorance, fearlessness, blood, and stumbling?!

Today, how much professional knowledge is available, how many cases are coincidental, how many are solved by courage, and how many truths are waiting for those who are curious.

Qiuxi, who seems to be lazy Buddha nature, obviously hides a small universe in his heart, but he hasn't found a chance to explode yet!

Chen Tianyu is willing to be a leader.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Luoshui Village was full of joy, the villagers who farmed the land picked up their hoes, first went to the fields to go around, and then lit three incense sticks to express their awe for their own work and gratitude to the gods; the children picked up their books, read aloud the texts, looking forward to knowledge to change their fate, and waited for the parents to go home, before putting down the books.

Then, they will bathe and change their clothes, and go to the most sacred place - Guanyin Temple together, to pay New Year's greetings to Guanyin Bodhisattva!

For most of the villagers, it doesn't matter whether the idol on the offering table is old or new. After Luo Ming opened the light to the new temple owner, he wore a red coat and a golden light, and he was still the god that everyone worshipped!

At the end of the day, it's the psychological needs that are met that counts.

The only unsatisfactory is that the words on the red are written crookedly, slightly unsightly, Luo Ming looked at his dog-like calligraphy, it was inevitable that his face was dull, fortunately, with the smoke of the incense burner in the middle, everything ugly is no longer ugly.

Li Qihuai led a family, as well as a group of people from Beiting, who came to pay New Year's greetings, he knelt on the futon for a long time, thinking a lot, he was not so relieved of the death of his third brother.

Although the third brother has lived a bad life in this life, he is still a responsible person, and he has a good relationship with himself, so he left miserably, with tears in his eyes, and quietly wiped it when he got up.

Li Yiting saw that his father's expression was a little depressed, and after arranging for everyone to burn incense and kneel down, he set off a string of firecrackers that were not too long, and beckoned everyone to return.

The father's touching scene is certainly experienced by the son.

When I got home, my mother brought me the rock sugar water that had been prepared and drank it sweetly. In Luoshui Village, women are not allowed to enter the temple on the first day of the New Year (they can go to the temple on weekdays), and they cannot enter the ancestral shrine, which has long been customary.

Liu Zichen and Shen Mingyue followed the customs of the countryside and did not go, but Shen Mingyue still had some bad feelings in her heart. Men are inferior to women, and she is really not used to being a Northeasterner.

Bear with me!

At noon, I ate a special food from Luoshui Village - rice cake. Southerners should be more familiar with it, the japonica rice is steamed, licked, steamed again, repeatedly beaten until the taste is Q bomb, and those who are not allergic will also add some freshly picked wormwood to beat together, the kueh skin is grass green, fragrant and fragrant; after flattening, wrap fresh winter bamboo shoots, local pork, sour mustard greens, tofu, radish dice, people with craftsmanship will also make some strange fillings, such as oil residue, purple blue cabbage, etc., and finally look like a thick-skinned dumpling several times larger, which makes people's appetite move.

In some places, rice kueh is called "gold and silver", but it is actually the same thing.

One bite down, the mouth is full of oil, there are not only soft and elastic kueh skin, but also crisp, tender, sour, fresh, fragrant taste, folk delicacies are not inferior to any kind of food.

Just when everyone was eating and feasting, Li Fuyu, the son of the fifth uncle, walked into the house with a gloomy face, and everyone beckoned him to eat something, but Li Fuyu shook his head and sat on the bench to smoke.

Other people didn't know him well, so they didn't care about him, and Li Qihuai didn't care too much about this pampered and eccentric nephew, so he didn't care about it anymore after shouting twice.

Li Yiting was cousins with him, hurriedly filled his stomach, and came over with a glass of water, Li Fuyu looked up at him, and said hoarsely: "Second brother......"

"What's wrong with you?" Li Yiting swallowed the last bite of rice cake and asked suspiciously.

"Uh......" Li Fuyu suddenly hesitated and said in a hesitant manner, "I want to tell you something alone......

Li Yiting thought for a while and said, "You wait outside the door, I'll wash my hands and come." ”

"Okay. Li Fuyu stood up and didn't say hello to anyone, he walked out of the living room and stood in front of the door in a daze.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Li Fuyu spoke for a long time: "Brother, I didn't expect you to come back......" He wanted to speak and stopped.

Li Yiting actually didn't know much about this cousin, but he probably heard that he was a little unprofessional, and even a little loser.

He only came out out of politeness, and rubbed his hands when he saw this and said, "If there is anything difficult, just say it, I'll see if I can come up with an idea." ”

The weather during the Spring Festival is still a little cold, but fortunately the sun is out, but the mountain wind is not small, and Li Fuyu is shivering.

Li Yiting was a little strange, although Fuyu was a white-faced scholar, he was not so weak.

After waiting for a long time, Li Fuyu didn't speak, and Li Yiting couldn't help but say, "Are you looking for me for something?"

"Uh...... Yes. Li Fuyu simply squatted down, clasped his hands, and said with trembling lips, "My dad is gone!"

Li Yiting frowned, and said angrily: "Three days and two disappearances, what kind of ghost is your family doing?" He remembered that a few days ago, Li Fuyu had searched all over the mountains and fields.

Li Fuyuzi pursed his lips and defended: "My dad is impatient and has a big temperament......"

Li Yiting said helplessly: "When did the fifth uncle leave home?"

Li Fuyu drooped his head: "It's been a few days...... Oh, it's the day the third uncle came out of the mountain. ”

Li Yiting remembered this incident, at that time he also participated in the discussion of reshaping Guanyin, and knew that this task was entrusted to the fifth uncle.

"The statue of Guanyin has been completed, why doesn't the fifth uncle go home?" Li Yiting was also a little strange.

Li Fuyu said anxiously: "Yes, no one has provoked him recently, and he won't be so angry that he won't come back Chinese New Year's Eve, in my memory, even if my dad is not home for 364 days a year, Chinese New Year's Eve is always there at night......"

Li Yiting interrupted him: "How are you so sure?"

Li Fuyu said: "I have a hobby, I will collect the red envelopes I receive every year, and then write the year, who else will give it, except this year"

"You still receive New Year's money at such an old age?......" Li Yiting was choked and didn't know what to say.

Li Fuyu was calm: "My mother said that if you are not married, you are a child." ”

"Okay. Li Yiting was helpless, "Then your father didn't come back last night, you are so calm?

Li Fuyu sighed: "My mother said that there is no need to look for it, she will definitely come back, it should be hiding in which uncle's house to bet on the treasure, and if you lose, you will naturally come back...... Then I waited and waited, and then I fell asleep. When I woke up this morning, I found that my dad hadn't come back yet, so I ran to the mountain factory to look for him, but he wasn't there! I went to the house of a few uncles who frequented me and asked, and they also said that I hadn't seen my dad for a few days...... "This morning, my leg was about to break." ”

"No, it's really no way, I just came to you, brother, ......" Li Fuyu finished talking about the grievances in his heart, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, he was in awe of Li Yiting since he was a child, and he usually didn't dare to come to the door, but he knew that the second brother was very capable.

Li Yiting thought for a while before he said, "That's it, you eat something at my place first, and then I'll call a few friends to help you find it together." If you don't go home on the first day of the new year, it's not safe in the mountains, maybe something really happened, don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case, let's find someone and talk about ......"

"I, I can't eat. Li Fuyu suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Yiting's arm, "Brother, I still have something to tell you...... Can you keep it a secret for me?"

Li Yiting stopped and said suspiciously: "Oh, what's the matter? ”

Li Fuyu stood up and seemed to have made up his mind: "Brother, you just came back, you may not know." That bullshit Xunzi in our village...... It's the Xun Yuanchun who tells the fortune in the east of the village, and he always comes to my house to find my dad every three or five times, and it's very mysterious, every time he talks, he carries me and my mother behind his back, which is weird. ”

Li Yiting frowned and said, "When did this happen?"

"For more than half a year, since this old guy came to the door, my dad always disappeared from time to time for a while, and then came back inexplicably. He paused, "It's been several times." ”

Li Yiting was surprised: "For such a long time, your father hasn't mentioned to you what he is doing?"

Li Fuyu shook his head decisively: "Every time my mother and I ask him, he asks us not to ask so much, anyway, the future will be better, and he will naturally tell us the truth." ”

Li Yiting suddenly said: "So, your father has found a big deal...... By the way, how long will he be out?"

"Uh......" Li Fuyu really thought about it, "the short is three to five days, and the long is half a month." ”

Li Yiting sighed: "You guys have really big hearts, aren't you afraid that your father will break the law or something to make money?"

Li Fuyu shook his head quite firmly: "My dad has been honest all his life, relying on a craft, and he will never break the law." ”

"I hope so. Li Yiting stretched out his hand and patted Li Fuyu's shoulder, and said authentically, "I hope you can also inherit the mantle of the fifth uncle." ”

Li Fuyu scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm really not this material, my father has said it many times, and I also accept my fate." ”

Li Yiting nodded: "Okay, everything is as it is." ”
