Zhou Niannian walked out of the Investigation Bureau, and she couldn't open her eyes in the warm spring sun.

She subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands, only to feel that the feeling of depression that had just been generated in it had dissipated a lot under the warm sunlight.

"Finished talking?"

Zhou Niannian turned his head and saw Xiang Wei and Xiang Jingshan standing under the willow tree next to them.

She nodded, "Let's go." ”

Xiang Wei and Xiang Jingshan hurriedly walked over and asked Xiang Jingshan puzzledly: "Where are we going?" Lawyer Xiao Zhou, are you going to collect evidence?"

Xiang Wei's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Really? I can't wait to show my skills." ”

Zhou Niannian is in vain, it is rare that he shows his skills this time, and this idiom is used quite well.

"Have you thought about it? have you really decided to take charge of this case with me?" she thought for a moment and asked seriously, "Even if Director Gao doesn't agree with us taking this case?"

Xiang Wei sneered, "What else are you thinking about? I had already thought about it when I came out with Lawyer Xiao Zhou." ”

"And me, and me, I must also follow Lawyer Xiao Zhou," Xiang Jingshan took a step forward, patted his chest, and looked a little honest, "I feel that I will definitely learn a lot of things with Lawyer Xiao Zhou." ”

Zhou Niannian tilted his head and looked at his uncle and nephew, "Aren't you afraid that after I leave, Director Gao can't let you two turn positive?"

Xiang Jingshan smiled and scratched his head, "My third uncle said, there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, as long as we stick to our hearts, we can always ....."

Xiang Wei couldn't help but answer: "There is always another village." ”

Zhou Niannian was amused, although the quote of this poem is not appropriate, it will not make people laugh.

"Well, since you have thought it through, then let's work together and try to restore the truth of the matter. Zhou Niannian stretched out his hand and looked at his uncle and nephew with a smile.

Xiang Wei smiled, and immediately stretched out his hand to shake next Zhou Niannian's hand, "Happy cooperation, lawyer Xiao Zhou." ”

The three of them walked out as they spoke, and asked Jingshan puzzledly: "Lawyer Xiao Zhou, do you believe that Zhang Peilan did not kill anyone?"

Although Zhou Niannian intuitively felt that Zhang Peilan did not lie to her, she still told Xiang Jingshan seriously, "As lawyers, we should only believe in the evidence, not whether we believe Zhang Peilan or not, but whether we can find a complete chain of evidence to prove that she did not kill anyone." ”

Xiang Jingshan was stunned, scratching his head, as if he was trying to digest Zhou Niannian's words.

"Mr. Zhou is really clever and very good. Xiang Wei applauded, "Then where are we going next?"

The corners of Zhou Niannian's mouth twitched, knowing that Xiang Wei used idioms indiscriminately, and he didn't bother to correct him, so he thought Xiang Wei was praising him.

"Let's go to Mengjiang Village first. ”

On the way to Mengjiang Village, Zhou Niannian relayed what Zhang Peilan said to the two people, "..... We will now go to Mengjiang Village to investigate the scene again to confirm whether what Zhang Peilan said is correct or not, and to see if we can find new evidence. ”

Xiang Jingshan nodded thoughtfully, and recorded it in the notebook he carried with him while listening.

Xiang Wei never spoke.

When the three of them arrived at Mengjiang Village, Zhou Niannian took people directly to Meng Sanqiu's house, indicating that he wanted to go to Zhang Peilan's place to investigate, and showed Meng Sanqiu the entrustment application written by Zhang Peilan.

In order to facilitate the investigation and not to destroy the evidence, the Investigation Bureau asked Meng Laosan to hand over the key to Meng Sanqiu, the village head, for safekeeping.

"I asked several layers of relatives, and finally brought her a word, but I didn't expect her to really listen, I hope you can really help her. Meng Sanqiu took a puff of dry tobacco with emotion, and then took out a bunch of keys from his waist, "Let's go, I'll take you over." ”

When she went out from Meng Sanqiu's house, Meng Sanqiu's mother-in-law led Xiaoxin back from outside, and she was still holding a small handful of pig's tail grass in her hand, which should have followed Meng Sanqiu's mother-in-law to fight pigweed.

Meng Sanqiu put the basket on his back on the ground, and greeted Nian Nian with a smile, "Nian Nian is here." ”

Zhou Niannian responded, feeling that her pants were being ripped off, she lowered her head and met Xiao Xin's dark deer-like eyes.

Xiao Xin's face was a little pale, and her expression looked wilted, only a pair of eyes looked at Zhou Niannian with bright eyes.

She couldn't help but squat down, touched Xiao Xin's hair, and asked softly, "Did Xiao Xin go to hunt pigweed?"

Xiao Xin nodded, and said softly: "Well, feed the pigs, eat, and wait for Mom." ”

Zhou Niannian didn't understand the logical relationship of this sentence, and looked at Meng Sanqiu's mother-in-law in confusion.

Meng Sanqiu's mother-in-law sighed and picked up Xiaoxin with pity, "This child misses her mother, hides in the bed at night and cries secretly, she gets sick, and she doesn't like to eat, your Uncle Meng will let her follow me out to hunt pigweed, tell her to beat pigweed, feed the pigs, and when the pigs grow up, her mother will come back." ”

Zhou Niannian's eyes were a little sour.

"Auntie, Mom.... Can you come back?" Xiao Xin looked at Zhou Niannian with a very worried expression.

Zhou Niannian bent her lips, held her hand stained with grass juice, and said affirmatively: "Xiao Xin eats well, mother will definitely be able to come out, and when mother comes out, let her see a white and chubby, beautiful Xiao Xin, okay?"

Xiao Xin's eyes lit up, and she nodded eagerly, "Xiao Xin eats, eats." ”

"Xiao Xin is so good!" Zhou Niannian patted her little hand, seeing such a sensible child, she felt a little uncomfortable, and she was more determined to collect evidence as soon as possible.

"Uncle Meng, let's go. ”

Since the murder of Zhang Peilan's place, the villagers are a little frightened, and they rarely pass by here, but in half a month, the area around the house seems a little desolate.

Pushing open the far gate, there are already a lot of green grass buds around the yard, and it is conceivable that if no one lives in it, this yard will soon be barren and dilapidated.

Meng Sanqiu sat down on the pier at the gate, "You go in and see, I'll wait for you here." ”

"Well," Zhou Niannian nodded, his eyes fell on the door, glanced at the lock on it, and frowned, "Uncle Meng, the heart lock on this door was newly changed by you?"

A brand new lock hangs from the door.

Meng Sanqiu nodded, "When the accident happened that day, the lock of the gate was broken and it couldn't be locked, so I replaced it with a new lock." ”

"What about the original lock?" Xiang Wei asked excitedly.

Meng Sanqiu didn't understand what he was excited about, but he still answered his words, "Here, I'll put it away, in my house." ”

Xiang Wei and Zhou Niannian glanced at each other, Zhou Niannian nodded, Xiang Wei is really a careful person, and he is also good at scrutinizing details.

Zhou Niannian suddenly felt that with the pair of Xiang's uncle and nephew, she should not be too difficult in this case.
