After returning home, Li Yiting didn't dare to leak these things to the rest of Beiting.

After all, this is a family matter, and the uncle has instructed him not to reveal it to anyone, Li Yiting will not be careless until it is determined that it is related to the case for the sake of safety.

This is Li Yiting's excellence.

Ever since Li Qisi told Li Yiting the secret of the Fish Intestine Sword, he suddenly had a bold idea: Could it be that the murder case that occurred in Li Village was related to the Fish Intestine Sword? Although judging from the clues currently available, the connection is not too great, but it is obvious that it cannot be ruled out that some people with other intentions killed people in order to obtain the Fish Intestine Sword.

He couldn't imagine that if the fish intestine sword entered the black market, it would be worth a lot, and that number would be enough to make most people in the world crazy!

As an old criminal policeman, he will never believe the nonsense that people are good at the beginning.

Just when he was secretly investigating, the people in Beiting were not idle, and they had a tacit understanding to divide their own labor to carry out the investigation work. Among them, Kuangsuo was the most anxious, he wanted to search for physical evidence in Luoshui Village, but he never got anything, and after several hesitations to extend the search scope to the entire Luoshui Village, but in this way, it can be described as difficult, and the workload is completely beyond his imagination: just imagine, to compare the whereabouts and clothing of thousands of people, and these people can not be gathered together to carry out publicly, the difficulty can be imagined, and there is a great element of luck. This naturally pushed him into a desperate situation, but the greater the pressure, the greater the potential, and today he actually found the target, he was simply ecstatic.

But when the man swaggered past him, he couldn't believe his eyes.

Therefore, he could only quietly follow this person to confirm repeatedly, until the other party reacted violently and recognized him instantly.

Hearing Kuangshuo's report, Beiting was shocked!

The button found in the trap could have been his?!

Kuang Suo swore that in the entire Luoshui Village, only this person has the exact same button, and it will not be wrong.

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

The sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the first market of the new year.

Since Li Fuqi became the guardian of the Fish Intestine Sword, he felt a lot of pressure, and all the time he felt that there seemed to be a pair of malicious eyes behind him secretly peeping at him, just waiting for him to be a little negligent, and then waiting for an opportunity to snatch it. This sense of fear followed him, making him extremely haggard, although he was the village party secretary, he really had never experienced such a battle.

Now, his knowledge has become a burden: the real fish intestine sword is converted into a market price, and it can't be guaranteed to be hundreds of millions, thinking of this astronomical amount, he shuddered when he saw some of the world. But could the sword in the ancestral shrine be real? Cultural relics that had been missing for thousands of years could be stored so casually in the small village of Li? It was simply unbelievable! He remembered that the uncle only called it an iris, and the rural people often reversed black and white, treating some valuable artifacts as garbage, but revering some ordinary objects as totems.

Could this be the case with the so-called treasures of towns and villages? Wouldn't an intellectual who is a dignified intellectual fall into the laughing stock of others? Is it worth it to be worried all day long?

He also asked Qiu Xi euphemistically, how to identify the old bronzes in terms of technology, and what kind of process needs to be taken to distinguish the real from the fake, Qiu Xi couldn't say it for a long time, he had no experience at all, but his words reminded Li Fuqi that this kind of thing may only be clear to the older generation who know how to do it.

But let him ask Uncle Li Qisi again, he would never dare to speak.

Several times, he wanted to find someone to confide in his inner anguish, but such a confidential matter could only rot in his stomach, and he had almost no living relatives, which made him feel even more tormented. No, he was walking in the bazaar blankly, and met the second uncle, Li Qihuai.

The desire to talk is even stronger!

From childhood to adulthood, he has the most harmonious relationship with Li Yiting's father, Li Yiting has been away from home for many years, Li Qihuai has treated him as his own son, but whenever there is something difficult, he is always the first to think of him, thinking of these, Li Fuqi can't help but have a sour nose.

He suddenly remembered that in addition to the eldest uncle, Li Cun also had some research on antiques in the second uncle Li Qihuai when he was young. What's more, the eldest uncle and the second uncle are the brothers of the same mother, so it should be okay to inquire about it from the side, and he found the best excuse for his apprehension.

"What's the matter, Fuqi?" Li Qihuai first noticed Li Fuqi's expression in a trance.

"Uh......" Li Fuqi stopped talking, "I'm fine, second uncle." He didn't mean it.

Li Qihuai smiled, how could Li Fuqi's abnormal behavior escape his eyes.

"Is there something you still want to hide from me?" he paused, "Come, eat a baked cake...... He took out a hot baked cake from the vegetable basket in his hand and handed it to Li Fuqi.

Li Fuqi didn't speak, he took it silently, and when he put the fragrant and soft baked cake in his mouth, his eyes involuntarily turned red, and tears almost fell.

"You kid, you have a lot of thoughts. Li Qihuai couldn't help but feel distressed, "Let's go for a walk with the second uncle." ”

"Good. Li Fuqi did not refuse, he followed Li Qihuai and walked forward slowly.

Li Qihuai thought about it, and then led Li Fuqi to the periphery of the market, he wanted to find a secluded place and talk to Fuqi, he knew that Fuqi, as the village party secretary, had so many things happening, and the psychological pressure must be huge, and he was usually just pretending to be calm.

The two of them came to a stone bridge, which was quite far from the bazaar, and there were hardly any idlers walking around, and it was indeed a good place to talk.

The stone bridge is old, it is full of devastation, moss mottled, and the bridge railing is also full of signs of collapse, obviously the quality of the project is not very good, and it is already a dangerous bridge. Under the bridge is the only river in Mutu Village, there is no name, let's call it Mutu River, the Mutu River is not deep, the smoothest part of the water flow is only two or three meters, but like most mountain rivers, the river is rocky, and the water flow is turbulent in many places.

Listening to the rushing water under the bridge, Li Qihuai took out a cigarette and lit it, and he was thinking about how to solve this troubled nephew.

"Second uncle......" Li Fuqi called softly.

"Hmm. Li Qihuai looked into the distance, "With so many things happening in the village, your heart is not easy, right?"

Li Fuqi nodded: "I have just been in office for less than a year, and there have been thefts and homicides in the village one after another, all of which are my responsibility, and I don't know much about Luoshui Village." ”

Seeing that he blamed himself, Li Qihuai turned around and patted his nephew on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Young people don't panic when something happens." Although Luoshui Village is small, it is a mix of fish and dragons, and it is far from being as simple as you think. Do you remember, when you gave up your job in the city and returned to your hometown to serve the service, I reminded you that although the official position of the village party secretary of Luoshui Village is not large, it is a rather difficult job. Over the years, you have lived and studied outside, and it is normal that you do not understand the situation in the village, and you can understand the spirit of youth. ”

"In our village, there are a lot of unhealthy tendencies. Everyone is a gambler, everyone is good at stealing, and everyone is addicted to alcohol. If you really want to abide by the law, I'm afraid you all have to go to the class room. A few years ago, fortunately, there was not much contact with people in the city, and everyone was just a little fight, saying that small gambling entertainment, thieves competing for profits, and small drinks were comfortable. But the years have changed...... Do you think, how much is the value of yew now? How much are the bottles and cans that we usually look down on? I have also heard that those copper coins, gross tickets, and light oceans that are thrown away can all be sold for a good price. Li Qihuai was quite emotional.

Li Fuqi nodded sympathetically: "It's just that I'm too young, I grew up here, I am used to it, and I don't take these things too seriously." ”

"Well, I don't dare to say that. Your child has been affectionate since he was a child, and it is indeed rare, who can take the initiative to return to our village if someone else changes. The second uncle is not old and confused, you are thinking about the people of our village, looking forward to the villagers and having a good situation. This heart is understood!" Li Qihuai is a person from the past, can he not see through it.

Li Fuqi's tears burst out of his eyes, there was no one here, and he didn't want to be reluctant to restrain himself anymore.

He choked up and said, "Second uncle, you are right...... But how many people can understand?"

Li Qihuai sighed and took a hard puff of his cigarette: "Child, don't worry, there will always be someone who understands, don't be discouraged." As the old saying goes, people are doing it, the sky is watching, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end......"

"Actually, there is one thing that I have been holding in my heart......" Li Fuqi quietly wiped the corners of his eyes and regained his usual strength.

"You say, what I know, I won't hide it from you. Li Qihuai said.

Li Fuqi said slowly: "Second uncle, I want to know, how did my parents die?"

Li Qihuai's body was shocked, he couldn't imagine that Fuqi was actually struggling with this matter: "Uh......"

"Well, it's a long story......," he hesitated.

Li Fuqi looked urgent: "I know that things are complicated, but I have been pressing on my heart for so many years, making it difficult for me to sleep and eat, as a child, I should know about it." ”

"Of course...... Of course. Li Qihuai still hesitated, "It's not that we elders deliberately hide it, it's just that you are still young and have some ...... I'm afraid of getting into the tip of the horns. I don't want to tell you about it, but ......"

Li Fuqi resolutely shook his head: "A few days ago, I wouldn't have mentioned this matter, but now it's different, Uncle has made it clear that I will take over as the patriarch, so I need to figure out the cause and effect of this matter." ”

"Ah?!......" Li Qihuai was deeply surprised, "there is such a thing, why did the eldest brother suddenly step down? He couldn't believe it.

"I don't dare to speculate on Uncle's thoughts, but it is true. Li Fuqi did not mention that Li Yiting was present, after all, Li Qihuai was his father.

Li Qihuai was stunned for a moment, and only said for a long time: "Big brother has always been unexpected. ”

He thought for a while: "Fuqi, in fact, your father and mother both died of natural causes, and there is nothing that cannot be said. It's just that...... They, they have a terminal illness that is hard to talk about......"

Li Fuqi interrupted him: "What kind of terminal illness is it, you can't even say it?"

"I just don't know very well...... Li Qihuai wanted to speak and stopped, worried, "We countrymen, how can we know so many strange diseases...... Do you say?"

Li Fuqi said persistently: "Now that medicine is so advanced, even if it is cancer or something, it is not unusual." Your uncles and brothers have been hiding from me since childhood, are there any unsavory secrets?"

"Fuqi, why do you think that?" Li Qihuai was shocked.

Li Fuqi's face suddenly became ugly, and even a little pale, which was similar to the usual judgment.

"I can't think of a better answer, so it's inevitable to speculate. ”

Li Qihuai was stunned, but Li Fuqi continued to say coldly: "For so many years, I have even been wondering if someone was secretly harming them, so you deliberately concealed it from me. ”

"Fucci, this ...... This ......" Li Qihuai's lips trembled, and his words were incoherent.

"Who is listening to this, is there someone chewing the root of their tongue behind their backs and talking nonsense......" Li Qihuai was a little flustered, "These old men and women in the village, it's just nonsense, you can't believe it." ”

"I only believe in the truth. Second uncle, you tell me the truth, I'm not a child anymore. Li Fuqi is extremely persistent.

"Really...... Li Qihuai gasped, but did not make a sound.

The two of them stood by the bridge like this, the atmosphere was very embarrassing, Li Fuqi looked indifferent, but Li Qihuai's head broke out in a cold sweat.

He unconsciously exerted a lot of force in his hand and pushed the bridge pillar, the bridge pillar seemed to be unable to withstand much force, and it shook unexpectedly, but Li Qihuai was unaware.

It just so happened that Li Fuqi urged again: "Second uncle, you are talking!"

Li Qihuai was reflexively startled, and the strength in his hand unconsciously increased a few points, and suddenly, the seemingly solid bridge pillar suddenly fell outward and fell into the river!

And Li Qihuai suddenly lost support, and his body also fell forward, and he was about to fly out of the stone bridge with the bridge pillars.

The incident happened suddenly, and when Li Fuqi reacted, Li Qihuai had already left his feet on the ground, Li Fuqi hurriedly reached out to pull the second uncle, who would have thought that when his hand touched Li Qihuai's back, the force unexpectedly changed from pulling to pushing, which accelerated Li Qihuai's falling speed.

“...... Second Uncle! Second Uncle!" Li Fuqi's eyes cracked, and he shouted loudly, almost crazy.

"Puff" Li Qihuai's body fell into the Mutu River like a kite with a broken string, and was soon swept into the turbulent stream and disappeared.

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

"Li Fuqi?!" Li Yiting couldn't believe his ears.

He muttered, "Impossible, impossible. ”

Kuang Suo's expression was cold and serious: "You can't be wrong, I visited Luoshui Village for three days, until I met Li Fuqi in front of the Guanyin Temple, and I found the same button." I'm afraid I'll be mistaken, so I'll make sure I dare to come back and inform you. ”

"Don't you believe me?" Kuang Suo was a little angry.

Seeing this, Chen Tianyu patted him on the shoulder: "You are a fiery eye, of course you can't be mistaken." He paused, "Yiting just can't accept such an outcome for the time being. ”

He turned his head again to comfort Li Yiting: "Yiting, don't worry, a button can't confirm anything, we have to think about it in the long run." ”

Liu Zichen was also a little unbearable: "Yiting, Tianyu is right, we can't wronged anyone." ”

"How can this be, how can this be?" Li Yiting was unmoved, he knew what the evidence that appeared at the murder scene represented, so he squatted on the ground in pain, "How could it be Fuqi's button, appearing at the murder scene, Fuqi, what did you do?"

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to explain it.

In the end, it was Shen Mingyue who suddenly thought: "I remember that your father said that on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Fuqi once took someone to look for your fifth uncle, could it be that he accidentally dropped it when he was looking for someone?" She herself didn't believe it, but she was always straightforward, so she didn't think so much.

Wan Yongkun echoed: "This possibility cannot be ruled out. ”

"What!" Li Yiting suddenly stood up, a sharp electric light shot out of his eyes, "Don't forget, you are law enforcement officers who eat public food, can you use your brains." ”

Wan Yongkun scratched his head in embarrassment, indeed, this inference doesn't make sense, if Li Fuqi really accidentally dropped the button at the scene, then he must have found the body of the fifth uncle, how could he choose not to say it?

Shen Mingyue looked disappreciative.

"Alright. Li Yiting regained his composure, "The fourth brother is right, a button really can't explain anything, let alone be used as core evidence." ”

He continued, "We're going to go to Forzy now and see what he has to say." ”
