215. A new member of the outpost
When Ren Xiaosu learned that the old man was here to investigate the disappearance of the Li officer, he was immediately vigilant, but he didn't show anything on the surface.
Ren Xiaosu sat next to the campfire, and the student next to him handed him a roasted chicken thigh.
The old man smiled at Ren Xiaosu while eating: "Young people nowadays always don't pay much attention to their stomachs, and when you reach my age, you will understand, it is a blessing to be able to eat." ”
"You're right," Ren Xiaosu glanced at the other party, it must be unreasonable to have diarrhea for six hours, and he was still boasting in his heart that he was invincible and flexible, but now that he thinks about it, he actually thinks too much.
Chen Wudi said that he had diarrhea for six hours, which meant that the old man had been here for six hours.
However, the old man didn't ask him where he had gone, but went down with the reason of diarrhea, as if he didn't intend to delve into it at all.
Ren Xiaosu didn't believe that a person in charge of investigating the case could ignore such a simple common sense question, and the other party was pretending to be confused.
"You came to investigate the case this time, do you have any clues?" Ren Xiaosu said casually.
"I said I was here to investigate, but what does it have to do with me that the Li family's people are missing," the old man said with a smile: "I'm so old and still let me work in this weather, do you see if this is a human thing." ”
Ren Xiaosu looked at the other party's appearance: "You have a high life this year?"
"I'm seventy-three years old this year," the old man said with a smile, "I haven't introduced myself yet, hello everyone, my name is nonsense." ”
Everyone looked at each other, this name sounded so strange, but what Ren Xiaosu cared about more was that the other party was not surnamed Li.
In this place, people with the surname Li deserve more attention from Ren Xiaosu, so far, except for Li Qingzheng, the wolf king of Kunshan, all the people surnamed Li that Ren Xiaosu has met are basically middle and high-level officers in the consortium army.
"Why did you take on this case?" Ren Xiaosu said curiously.
"I don't want to take it either," Hu said scratched his scalp with his little thumb and said with a smile: "But the Li family gave me an order, saying that if I don't come to investigate this case, I won't be paid, so I can only come over to deal with the errand." But I didn't expect to be able to eat so much game at your outpost, and I earned it. ”
Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter was probably not as simple as the other party said, a seventy-three-year-old man came here, what kind of ordinary person could he be?
And there must be a reason why the other party is invited to come out if there is a problem on the Li side.
However, at this moment, Hu Xiao stood up and patted the dust on his pants: "Okay, eat and drink enough." ”
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "How many outposts did you walk today?"
Hu Shu smiled: "Just you one." ”
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt that the other party might have discovered some clues, so he came directly to them. In an instant, Ren Xiaosu began to hesitate whether to stay with the other party.
Hu said suddenly: "That...... Which room do I stay in?"
This stopped everyone, Ren Xiaosu still wanted to keep the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party was planning to live here directly.
Li Qingzheng said with a smile next to him: "We'll clean a room for you." ”
There are 7 bungalows in the outpost, and there is originally an empty storage room for miscellaneous goods, but there are not many things, and now it is nonsense that since he said that he wants to stay overnight, then Li Qingzheng, as the squad leader of the combat team, is also willing to have a relationship with this kind of old man who is suspected of being a big man.
Most of the homeless people have an instinct, everyone thinks that they can make life better by getting in touch with the big people in the barrier, and they are superstitious about this relationship.
However, this made Ren Xiaosu a little embarrassed, and he decided to wait and see for the time being, and it was not too late for him to decide what to do when he was sure of the old man's purpose.
Ren Xiaosu felt that this nonsense had clearly found clues, but he couldn't understand what confidence the other party had to stay here?
However, something that made Ren Xiaosu even more surprised happened, this nonsense was not to stay here for one night, but ...... Don't go!
Early the next morning, the wolf king sent a large number of pheasants as promised, and these pheasants were piled up at the gate of the outpost.
But this strange scene did not arouse nonsense, as if nothing had happened, but just praised that this is really a good place to eat meat.
Ren Xiaosu observed the other party's expression, obviously everyone knew that this was not normal, but they didn't ask nonsense, Wu Zi played Tai Chi at the door of the outpost, and after the fight, he asked Li Qingzheng and them to cook, saying that they still wanted to eat meat.
So everyone started to eat barbecue from early in the morning, and Ren Xiaosu felt that he was full of barbecue smell.
"Why don't you ask where this prey came from?" asked Ren Xiaosu as she ate the meat.
Hu Shuo smiled and said: "If you have something to eat, it doesn't matter where this food comes from? ”
Ren Xiaosu was speechless for a while, he was getting more and more unclear about the intention of this nonsense.
In the early morning of the third day, Hu Shuo woke up as usual to play Tai Chi, and after the fight, he beckoned everyone to cook.
It's just that there is a truck at the bottom of the mountain this day, but this time the soldiers who came were a little special, they actually brought daily necessities such as bedding and teapots, and re-cleaned the house for nonsense......
Ren Xiaosu was stunned and found that he was planning to live here for a long time.
When the soldiers were tidying up the house, Ren Xiaosu was carefully observing whether the nonsense had explained some strange things to the soldiers, such as suggesting that the other party had brought heavy troops to encircle and suppress this outpost or something, but it didn't.
However, when the soldiers reported to Hu Xiaosu, Hu Xiao did not shy away from Ren Xiaosu, and the things reported by the soldiers were also related to Ren Xiaosu: the outpost on another hill was attacked by wolves, and wolf blood and wolf hair were found there, and then the army attached great importance to this matter and planned to send troops to clear the wolves in the mountains.
Ren Xiaosu observed Hu Xiao's reaction, but Hu Xiao just smiled and said, "The wolves have nothing to do with our case, don't get involved in this kind of idle matter." ”
From beginning to end, the other party didn't seem to think of anything from the pheasant at the gate of the outpost.
But Ren Xiaosu knew very well that the other party was just pretending to be confused.
At this moment, Li Qingzheng whispered to Ren Xiaosu: "The officer who sent things to this old man has a military rank of colonel!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment, what kind of level can a person of the rank of a colonel be within the Li family?
Since then, no one has come to the outpost, and the nonsense that this stay is a week, Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the other party might be planning to spend the Spring Festival together with them......
