Chi Wei and Liu Qiang both showed angry looks on their faces, but Liu Nanhe calmly followed into the living room and sat on the sofa by himself. He looked around at the furniture and furnishings in the living room, and suddenly said with a smile: "Mr. Shi, the house here is well repaired." I heard that you all lived in the provincial capital before, why did you spend so much money to renovate here?"

Shi Yimu's face changed slightly, then he pretended to get up and pour water, and responded coldly: "Rich and capricious, it's your business." ”

Liu Nanhe was not angry, and said: "It's really none of my business, but your uncle may be very unhappy in his heart, after all, this is a new house built by him and the young girl, but it was lived in by you." ”

Shi Yimu's expression couldn't be concealed this time, and with anger in panic, he slapped the table and stood up and shouted, "What did the old man say to you?"

Liu Nanhe said with a smile: "The elderly talk a lot, and they basically say what they should say." ”

Shi Yimu stood there straight, his face was cloudy, and after a full twenty seconds, he said angrily: "He still has the face to tell outsiders this, I am not married, he is a man in his fifties who married a twenty-year-old girl, and the face of the Shi family has been completely lost by him." ”

Fang Yaya couldn't bear it, and scolded angrily: "It's you who has no face to say, without Uncle Shi, how can your family live such a good life, your father would have been starved to death a long time ago!"

Shi Yimu said with a straight face: "So what? As the eldest brother, shouldn't he do this?"

Fang Yaya said coldly: "I knew that I would have raised a white-eyed wolf like you, so I might as well ignore you at the beginning." So a lonely old man who has to venture up the mountain to take care of your father. ”

Liu Nanhe waved his hand and said, "Shi Yimu, we have no intention of criticizing the problem of personal conduct. I came to you today because we knew that the 'Snow Corpse Case' more than ten years ago was related to you. Xiao Zhao has already gone to the office to get the file, if you have anything to say, let's be honest with us first. Looking at Shi Yimu's angry expression again, Liu Nanhe said: "We don't want to arrest you in front of your son and put you in the police station, you'd better restrain your stinky temper." Once a small deputy section chief, where did you get such a big official frame. ”

As soon as these words came out, Shi Yimu actually fell silent and sat on the sofa honestly. After a while, he asked indifferently, "What do you want to ask, say it." Declare in advance, you don't need to put a trap on me, my aunt's death has nothing to do with me, and I only found out about it afterwards. ”

Liu Nanhe nodded at Fang Yayan and motioned for her to open her mobile phone to record. Shi Yimu seemed disgusted, but he did not protest. Liu Nanhe asked: "Who is the eldest mother's surname, where is she from, and when did you come to Lianhuashan Village?"

Shi Yimu said: "We don't know the specific name, the uncle calls her Zhao Lianhua, and I will call Aunt Hua later." The accent is that of Xinzhong, but I've never seen her mother's family, and I don't know where she's from. The uncle said that Aunt Hua was met when he was working outside, and others bullied her, so he brought her back. Well, it must have been thirteen years ago, when I was just twenty years old. ”

Shi Yimu's face was a little weird, because there were still some words he hadn't said. Although Aunt Hua is not in good spirits, she is very beautiful, and when the uncle brought her back, he suddenly thought of a poem by Xu Zhimo:

"The most is the gentleness of the bowed head,

Like a water lotus flower, it is too shy to cool the breeze,

A word of cherishment, a word of cherishment,

There was a sweet sorrow in that cry - Shayanara. ”

At that time, he thought that this was the daughter-in-law he was looking for, but he didn't expect to be left by the uncle in the end. Because of this incident, Shi Yimu thought that the uncle, who was both a big man and an old man, was not worthy of Aunt Hua, and since then he has forgotten the grace of parenting and held a grudge against Uncle Shi.

Liu Nanhe said: "How long has she lived here, and when did it happen?"

Shi Yi said: "It should be more than two years. After she lived here, my uncle used all his savings to build this house. He used to work as a construction worker, as well as a sanitation worker, and occasionally picked up scrap and sold change, but we didn't expect him to save so much money. ”

Liu Nanhe said: "When did you and your wife meet?

Shi Yimu stood up again: "What do you mean? My wife has been killed, do you suspect that she killed my Aunt Hua?"

Liu Nanhe said expressionlessly: "Answer honestly, don't talk nonsense." ”

Shi Yimu said angrily: "My wife also lives in Lianhuashan Village, and we have known each other since childhood. It's just that we were sure to be together, and it was when I graduated from college. Blind dates are popular here, and we are together after a blind date. She knew about my Aunt Hua, but she probably hadn't seen it before, because she hadn't mentioned it in so many years. ”

Liu Nanhe nodded and said, "Let's talk about the scene when Zhao Lianhua died, you should have seen it with your own eyes." ”

Shi Yimu's face showed a look of pain: "I...... Actually, when Aunt Hua died, I didn't go to the scene to see it at all. Because...... Because the villagers said that her face was scratched and she was stabbed in the body. It's just that the knife is in her own hand, plus she has a little mental problem, so the police said she killed herself. The snowman was also built because it happened to be snowing that day, which covered her. Although we were reluctant to accept this statement, if we asked the police to investigate, they would in turn investigate our human trafficking...... That's it, I don't have a good impression of the police at all...... You're not bad, but ......."

Shi Yimu didn't say any more, which shows what a heavy blow a series of events were to him, a young man in his twenties. Liu Nanhe sighed and said, "Is the corpse also standing?"

Shi Yimu's eyes widened, and he said, "How do you know? My father said that it was the grievance of Aunt Hua's death, and she didn't blink your eyes to death." ”

Liu Nanhe said: "This should be asked to yourself." Your wife, mother-in-law, and your sister, their bodies are all standing, and there are snowmen built outside, don't you really think about it yourself?"

Shi Yimu was shocked: "Could it be that Aunt Hua's ghost came back for revenge? But my mother-in-law's family has no grudge against her, why did she do this?"

Liu Nanhe said: "Okay, Mr. Shi, you are a party member and a former deputy section-level cadre, don't fix those ghosts and monsters." Your uncle specially built a new house and prepared the word 'Xi' for the wedding, which is enough to see how much he attaches importance to Zhao Lianhua. But in his house, we didn't see any pictures of them together. If I'm right, you should put away those photos, right?"

Shi Yimu said resentfully: "This is what the old man told you, right? He wants to take the photo back, is this such a stupid way?"

Liu Nanhe ignored him. Shi Yimu hesitated for a moment, got up and entered the back room. After a while, came out with a few photos. Although the photos are all in color, the color is relatively thin, and the photo paper used is not delicate enough, which is indeed more than ten years ago. But half of the photos remained, and the other half had been cut out.

Shi Yimu drooped his head and sat there silently. There was no need for him to say anything, Liu Nanhe also knew that this was what he did. cut off the photo of the uncle and left a photo of Zhao Lianhua, which shows that this person still has a deep obsession with his Aunt Hua in his heart. But looking at Zhao Lianhua's photo, Liu Nanhe's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and after looking at it carefully for a few minutes, he handed it to Qin Yiyan again. Qin Yiyan let out a "huh" when she got it in her hand, turned her head to Shi Yimu and asked, "Is this Zhao Lianhua related to your wife?"

Shi Yimu shook his head and said, "I also asked, because she and my wife are about seven points similar, but the parents-in-law said that it doesn't matter, and none of the three generations of relatives in the family are like this." ”

Liu Nanhe didn't say anything more, because the murder happened more than ten years ago, and if he wanted to figure out the ins and outs, he had to wait for Zhao Hongyan to get the case file back. However, if there was no file in the police station at that time, they would have had to find another way.

"Let An Ning follow Yaya and Yiyan to rest first, let's go up the mountain and ask your father and uncle for an understanding. Liu Nanhe said.

"What?" Shi Yimu's face became extremely ugly, it seemed that when he had his own family, his relationship with his father and uncle fell to the freezing point.

"On the one hand, to solve the case, and on the other hand, to atone for your sins. Liu Nanhe said coldly, "No matter what, they have the grace of nurturing you, if you treat them like this, aren't you afraid that your son will follow suit in the future?"

Shi Yimu's face changed again, he glanced back at Shi Anning, the little guy was already asleep on Fang Yaya's lap. For fear that he would freeze, Fang Yaya also pulled a piece of clothing to help him cover his back.

"Okay, let's go up the hill. Shi Yimu responded.

Chi Wei stood up and sorted out his buttons and zippers. Walking on the cold snow again, it's a torment to think about. Who knew that he was just about to open the door, Liu Nanhe suddenly shook his head and said, "Weizi, you stay." ”

Chi Wei was stunned and turned his head to look at Qin Yiyan. Qin Yiyan also frowned, but didn't say anything. Liu Nanhe repeated it again, Chi Wei could only nod and agree, and said, "Then you guys be careful, if you have any problems, call me directly." ”

Liu Nanhe looked at his phone, and when it wasn't snowing, the signal really recovered a little. opened the information bar, and there was an extra text message in it, and sure enough, it was sent by Zhu Jianfeng. Looking at the time when the message was sent, it was an hour ago, just when they had just left for Shi Yimu's side.

Open the text message, and inside are the names and mobile phone numbers of two people. Liu Nanhe wanted to call right away, but he gave up after looking at the time on his phone. Liu Qiang took a flashlight, Shi Yimu also found one, Liu Nanhe walked between the two, carrying a long wooden stick in his hand to avoid encountering wolves, and the three of them walked along the rugged path above the village to the mountain.

This kind of trail is different from the mountain road you walk during the day, where there are still stone steps to walk, but there is nothing here, only an open area that is one person wide to show that someone has walked here. Liu Nanhe leaned over and took a look, there was indeed a string of shallow footprints on the mountain road, although it was covered by snowflakes again, but it could be vaguely judged that it was the route that Uncle Shi had taken.
