Chapter 125: Analysis and Response

Li Tianchou noticed that there was no Li Desheng in the shed, and felt that something was wrong in his heart, so he hurriedly asked Erkun.

Er Kun scratched his head and looked at the door for a long time, dumbfounded. He muttered, just now he saw Li Desheng coming out of the room and squatting and bragging with a few people outside, and one of them disappeared without paying attention.

Li Tianchou nodded, patted Erkun's shoulder to signal that it was okay, and then went to the room with three foam box lunches. These three meals are still the money that is strictly paid, and even the old winter melon and his daughter-in-law have brought it.

The old winter melon is no longer lying down, and he is sweating profusely with his daughter-in-law, looking like he is cleaning up his things. Finding that Li Tianchou walked in, the old winter melon was obviously taken aback, he hurriedly took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his trouser pocket, hiding his nervous expression, "Come brother......?" Sit, sit, that...... Smoke. ”

Li Tianchou noticed that the old winter melon's hand holding the cigarette was trembling slightly, but his daughter-in-law was quite direct, her expression was not disguised, her fierce eyes were staring, and she was full of hostility and vigilance towards Li Tianchou.

Li Tianchou smiled slightly, pretended not to see it, and generously reached out to take the cigarette, "You haven't eaten it yet, Uncle Fa asked me to bring it to you." As he spoke, he shook the plastic bag in his hand.

The old winter melon swallowed and foamed, and smiled dryly, "Hehe, Yan Tou still remembers me, thank you." Oh, you see, even my daughter-in-law's has it, how much does it cost?" As soon as he finished speaking, his stomach gurgled and he seemed to be hungry.

What are you doing in such a hurry to pack up your stuff, you can't even take care of eating? Li Tianchou's question flashed in his mind, but he remained silent on the surface, "Three portions of twenty-one pieces, recorded in the old and strict accounts." He grinned and put the cigarette to his ear, "Eat first, then smoke." Come on, eat together. ”

"Look...... This place, uh...... "The old winter melon looked left and right, looking embarrassed, and didn't seem to want to keep guests.

"It's okay, just squat on the ground. When have we ever paid attention to it? Li Tianchou ignored the expression of the old winter melon, opened the plastic bag and took out the lunch box and distributed it.

Seeing that Li Tianchou had already squatted down first, the old winter melon was really out of temper, and he was indeed hungry, so he took the lunch box and opened the lid to eat, and took several bites before turning his head and shouting at his mother-in-law, "What are you stunned, eat." ”

The mute girl with a wary face nodded hurriedly in response, and also squatted on the ground to eat. Li Tianchou peeked at the burden behind the old winter melon, although it had been covered by his body relatively tightly, he could still see through a corner that it was a daily necessities such as bedding.

"Old winter melon, how does this meal taste?" The atmosphere was a little dull, and Li Tianchou provoked the conversation.

"Uh-huh...... Delicious. The old winter melon was full of food, and nodded busily.

"Hehe, I think it's average, it's a little bit hot compared to your craftsmanship. Li Tianchou's grinning words had a hint of ridicule.

The old winter melon just nodded and chopped the rice, a little unrelenting, Li Tianchou guessed the strangeness, but he was not sure. He thought for a moment, "I heard that you and Uncle Defa are relatives, so you should live in the same village, right?"

This sentence seemed to be asking a family routine, but it was a little abrupt for the old winter melon at this time, his face suddenly changed, and the convenient chopsticks in his hand also stopped, looking at Li Tianchou's expression that seemed to be smiling, he couldn't figure out if the other party had guessed anything.

"Hehe, it's not easy to go out to work, it's better to be at home. Li Tianchou deliberately ignored the change in the expression of the old winter melon, sighed to himself, and shook his head very helplessly.

In this way, the old winter melon was even more mushy, but he also realized his gaffe, and nodded busily and vaguely.

"I have a fellow who works outside, because he didn't dare to go home because of the accident, and now he can only drift around, and his family doesn't know what he looks like now, which is uncomfortable to say. Li Tianchou was talking about himself, and as soon as the words blurted out, his heart was also gloomy.

But the old winter melon was taken aback when he heard this, choked on a mouthful of rice, his old face turned red, and he kept coughing. I haven't slowed down for a long time.

Until this time, Li Tianchou had already guessed eight or nine. He finished eating quietly, and saw that the old winter melon was still silent, and he didn't want to communicate. It seemed that he couldn't press too hard, Li Tianchou lit a cigarette and left.

Li Tianchou called out Erkun in the shed, asked him to keep an eye on the room, and went straight to Yan Defa's hut. I don't know what Li Desheng bewitched, it seems that the old winter melon is going to run away tonight. Now that Li Desheng is temporarily gone, he basically concludes that the so-called food poisoning is inseparable from Li Desheng, and it is not easy to say whether the old winter melon is involved.

Yan Defa listened to Li Tianchou's analysis and judgment, his face was very ugly, he really couldn't believe that the old winter melon would have the idea of running away, since he was a relative, and he had been with him for so long, this kind of betrayal was obviously uncomfortable. If Li Tianchou hadn't stopped him, Lao Yan would have immediately called someone to tie up the old winter melon.

"Then what should we do now?" Yan Defa was upset, and he had no idea for a while.

"Keep an eye on him, catch him at night, so that he can easily tell the truth. And let's catch it, don't let others know, it's good for everyone, after all, whether the old winter melon has anything to do with this matter is still to be said. Li Tianchou was more thoughtful.

To keep the old winter melon a secret is to take care of his own face, and Yan Defa naturally nodded again and again. I secretly praised Li Tianchou in my heart for being thoughtful and sophisticated.

"Also, the key person is Li Desheng, when did he come to the construction site?" Li Tianchou suddenly thought of something, and regretted his carelessness, obviously underestimating this person,

"I've been with my boss since my last boss and I've been here all the way. He and I are fellow villagers, but not from the same village. I really didn't expect this bastard to be so vicious, why do you say he is doing this?"

When Li Tianchou heard this, he felt that something was wrong, he thought that according to Li Desheng's character and popularity, he should have little to do with the people here, and it was reasonable to slip away after doing bad things. But I didn't expect that he was also a fellow of Lao Yan, so it was different from his original idea. He thought about it in his head, and couldn't help shouting, "Ahh ”

Yan Defa was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

"We can't do that tonight. Li Tianchou frowned, as if he couldn't make up his mind.

"What the hell is it? Tell me, isn't this an urgent person?"

"Uncle Defa, I think we have to take a risk. Let the old winter melon run away first, don't stop him, I feel that this Li Desheng will come back again. Li Tianchou's tone was hesitant, not too sure, and Yan Defa was even more confused when he heard it.

"What does this mean?" Yan Defa pondered for a long time, but still couldn't get the point.

"I think so, first of all, it is unlikely that the old winter melon will be poisoned, he is a cook himself, can he still do such a thing that is obviously suspected? And take 10,000 steps back and say, no matter whether the old winter melon is poisoned or not, if he runs away overnight, what impression will he leave on everyone?

"Is the old winter melon really that stupid? But he chose to run away, which means that he must have listened to someone and was frightened. Li Tianchou was very sure of this, and the analysis was relatively clear, Lao Yan nodded again and again.

"If the old winter melon really runs away, who is in good hands? It must be the person who really poisoned him, and only this person will scare the old winter melon, which is tantamount to finding someone to give him a top bag. If this person is Li Desheng, then he is basically right. ”

"I don't understand. Yan Defa shook his head like a rattle.

"When we come back in the afternoon, do you remember that the two seasoning jars were gone?" Li Tianchou prompted.

Yan Defa nodded, "This thing is a bit weird. ”

"There are two possibilities, one is that the mute girl threw the jar away with a thief's heart, and the second possibility is that the person who really poisoned me has found out that I have been to the gang. So I stole the jar while everyone was watching the excitement. I think the latter is very likely. Li Tianchou was suddenly a little excited.

The intention of this trick is obvious, it is to scare the old winter melon, and even clearly tell the old winter melon that someone on the construction site has begun to check him. After the accident, you tied him up without saying a word, and I suddenly looked for him in the afternoon, and repeatedly told him not to tell anyone about our conversation. What would you think if you were an old winter melon?"

Yan Defa seemed to understand a little, and blurted out, "The catastrophe is coming, and I can't stay anymore." ”

"That's right!" Li Tianchou slapped his face.

"My God, looking at Li Desheng's cowardice, does he have so many twists and turns?" Yan Defa was surprised, but he still couldn't figure it out.

"Not necessarily, if someone behind him taught him to do this, it would make sense. Li Tianchou further explained, "And I understand one thing now, everyone eats the same meal at noon, why some workers are deeply poisoned, some people are shallowly poisoned, and even run to the toilet twice and it's fine." ”

"Oh? Yan Defa was more and more surprised by Li Tianchou's brain, how did he come up with this?

"Because the problem is probably the water in the room. I asked the old winter melon, and the same bucket of water was used to wash vegetables and make soup, which Li Desheng helped him carry. So the people who drink the soup at noon are deeply poisoned, and the people who don't drink the soup are shallowly poisoned, and the two seasoning jars should not be poisoned, and the bucket is the key. Li Tianchou finished his analysis in one breath, and his tone became more and more affirmative.

Yan Defa was silent, although he understood what Li Tianchou said, there was still some confusion in his head, and he said slowly after half a sound: "I probably understand, if Li Desheng knew that the old winter melon ran smoothly, then he would come back; ”

Li Tianchou nodded, "That's what it means." Let's catch Li Desheng and dig out the people behind him. ”
