Chapter 086: Ruined Courtyard
The passage of time has washed away too many memories that I don't want to face. Fuyu Village is not as written in Mu Qing's article, shrouded in fear and sorrow, on the contrary, in the wave of reform and development, it is full of unprecedented vitality.
The car stopped along the smooth village road to a place at the east end of the village.
It was a dilapidated courtyard overgrown with waist-deep weeds, three crumbling old houses, and even the roof was occupied by weeds, which seemed out of place with everything around it.
"This is Lei Fumin's home. After getting out of the car, Shang Yong introduced.
"Why didn't it sell?"
"It should be that no one dares to buy it, and if such a big thing happens, the countryside is still very superstitious and feels unlucky. Shang Yong pointed to the neighbor next to him, and on the small window facing this side, there was a small mirror hanging with a yellow paper charm to suppress evil spirits.
Shang Yong led the way, and the group stepped on the weeds and walked in, and there was a big rotten hole in the wooden door, and with a gentle push, it almost fell down.
The house was filled with the smell of dust, which made people's noses very uncomfortable, and one police officer couldn't help but sneeze, but a puff of dust rushed up and covered his body.
Entering the house was a living room, with a round table and a kitchen inside, a stove inlaid with tiles, pots and pans that had long since been rusted, and even a rat hole in the corner.
The police took pictures, and then Fang Chaoyang and Shang Yong came to the East House, and the smell of musty was blowing in their noses, a large wooden bed, and the bedding on it had rotted black.
"Dayong, what can you find here?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"Learn about Lei Fumin's living habits, he confesses easily and does not cry out for injustice, which is too abnormal. ”
There were traces of mirror frames on the wall, and Shang Yong called for someone to bring wet wipes and gently wipe them, revealing a colorful wedding photo in a mosaic glass frame. Lei Fumin and his wife above are very young, close together, with happy smiles on their faces.
"A happy home, just gone. Shang Yong sighed.
"Give me a wet wipe, too. Fang Chaoyang said.
Taking the wet wipes handed over by Shang Yong, Fang Chaoyang gently wiped another place on the wall, judging from the traces, it seemed that there was a painting pasted here.
As I kept wiping it, a plastic painting was revealed, a picture of a man, wearing a yellow silk practice uniform, his eyes slightly closed, and a golden halo made of special effects on the back of his head.
There is a line on each side of the man: Joy is reaped by giving, and suffering leads to heaven.
"Dayong, this is very demagogic. Fang Chaoyang frowned.
"I know this person, a big god back then, I don't know how much money I defrauded, and I have long fled abroad. At that time, similar sticks emerged one after another, and the state also organized a crackdown for this purpose. Shang Yong said.
"What does he preach?" Fang Chaoyang asked.
"What else, give him all the money, and believe in him and you can go to heaven. The city bureau confiscated a lot of books on this subject that year, if you are interested, I will go back and find a few for you to see. ”
"Okay, it's necessary to dig deeper, I think Lei Fumin may have been bewitched and willing to die. Fang Chaoyang pointed to the line "Suffering leads to heaven".
"Makes sense!"
After taking pictures of all parts of the house, everyone walked out in disgrace, worried about whether the house would suddenly collapse.
There is a figure flickering in the window of the neighbor's house, curiosity is haunted, and the neighbor is secretly watching here.
"Let's go to the neighbors and ask about the situation. Shang Yong said.
Everyone left the dilapidated house, and then knocked on the door of the neighbor's house, and it took a long time for a middle-aged man in his forties to open the door, looking very nervous, and on the steps behind, there was a middle-aged woman with a more nervous look.
"Excuse me, what's your name?" Shang Yong asked.
"My name is Anxihai, officer, and I didn't do anything bad. ”
"I didn't say that you broke the law, we just came here to ask about Lei Fumin's situation back then. Shang Yong said.
An Xihai was relieved, and hurriedly opened the door, let the police enter the house and sit down, and asked his wife to make a pot of jasmine, Shang Yong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
Sitting down in the living room, Shang Yong took the initiative to hand An Xihai a cigarette, and the atmosphere gradually eased.
"You've always been a neighbor of Lei Fumin?" Shang Yong asked.
"Alas, you shouldn't have bought this house, Lei Fumin is very weird, and his eyes are very scary. However, I heard that he was not responsible for that case. Anxihai said tentatively.
"It's still inconclusive, let's talk about it, what's strange about him?" Shang Yong waved his hand.
"It was normal at first, sometimes we had a little drink together, and the kids used to play together. Later, when he went to the city, his whole person changed, he didn't talk much, and he rarely interacted with people. In the early years of the village, who didn't keep a dog to take care of the home, but he said that my dog was too noisy, and he looked for it a few times, and there was a conflict. An Xihai recalled.
"And then, he killed your dog?" Shang Yong said.
"Yes, he tricked my dog into his yard with a bone, and slashed it with a kitchen knife, alas, the dog's screaming still seems to be in my ears, it was an old dog, with me for eight years, just like the rest of the family. When An Xihai said this, his voice choked.
"You've seen the whole thing, haven't you?" Shang Yong continued.
"I saw it in the small window on the east side, and I was frightened, and I was hacked to death, and I was given a good time to the old dog, but Lei Fumin was really ruthless, completely crazy. Later, he threw the dog's corpse at my doorstep, and the blood flowed all over the ground, and my old father was scared and sick, and everyone in the village knew about it. ”
"Why didn't you call the police?"
"I live in the neighborhood, and I am afraid that he will retaliate, so I endure it, and everyone is afraid of death. ”
"I heard that the first villager to find the site of the corpse was frightened, and he personally sent it to the hospital. Shang Yong said again.
"It's Jiang Gangzhu, and I have the best relationship with him. "Anzai Kaido.
"You just said that he doesn't associate with anyone, why is he good with Jiang Gangzhu?" Shang Yong continued to ask.
"They all believe in that, it's some kind of immortal Buddha, they can't say their names, and sometimes they pray together. ”
"What about Jiang Gangzhu?"
"I was frightened, and then I sold the house and moved away, I don't know where I went, and I haven't heard of following contact. "Anzai Kaido.
"Last question, do you know where Lei Fumin's son went?" Shang Yong asked.
"Xiaomin, that kid is quite sensible, and he has a good time with my girl. After Lei Fumin was shot, his daughter-in-law died soon after, and I heard that Xiaomin was taken away by his aunt and never came back, the village chief should know!"
"I'm sorry for your trouble. Shang Yong stood up and said.
"Yes, it is an obligation to cooperate with the police investigation. After the case, the police came many times, and I never hid it. "Anzai Kaido.
