Chapter 4: The Busy Times
When Liu Qiaoyan's son Cai Huaiyu returned home, he saw his mother with her feet upside down in the tank.
He didn't react immediately, and thought that his mother was stuck in the tank to clean the inner wall.
Hurriedly put down the package and walked over: "Mom, what are you doing?"
Liu Qiaoyan didn't react at all.
Cai Huaiyu touched Liu Qiaoyan's leg again, but Liu Qiaoyan spun in a circle in the tank.
Cai Huaiyu was stunned and shouted, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
He reached out to hug Liu Qiaoyan's legs and wanted to pull her out of the tank, but found that Liu Qiaoyan's legs were stiff and stiff, and she couldn't bend them.
And because the water tank is thin at both ends and thick in the middle, people will be stuck in it, and they can only be pulled out by going straight up and down.
"Help! Someone's coming!" Cai Huaiyu hurriedly went out and shouted.
Neighbors, as well as Cai Dongliang, who was working in a nearby field, hurried over.
Everyone dragged Liu Qiaoyan out of the tank, only to find that Liu Qiaoyan had been dead for a long time.
Liu Qiaoyan's death is very rare in rural areas, but it is occasionally heard of.
This large water tank is more than one meter high, and Liu Qiaoyan is only more than one meter and a half.
If the soles of her feet slip while scooping water, she may fall headlong into the tank.
Due to the slippery inner wall of the tank, and the fact that she was too nervous, it was possible to drown alive.
But by the same token, if Liu Qiaoyan was scooping water in front of the tank, Cai Dongliang came over and hugged her legs with both hands, and when she let go gently, she would fall directly into the water tank, and no matter how much strength she had, she would not be able to break free.
But the problem is that when Liu Qiaoyan was drowned, Cai Dongliang was working in the field, and his neighbors had always seen him in the field next to him.
Therefore, when Qin Yongmei and the others came to investigate, they could only ask Cai Dongliang as an ordinary witness, and they didn't even have a reason to detain him.
Qin Yongmei sighed: "Maybe it's really a coincidence, God punished them for their adultererous man**?"
Lao Luo said on the side: "But this is too coincidental, it is estimated that there is only a 1 in 100 million possibility." ”
Lao Hu smiled bitterly: "It would be nice if it was really a coincidence, otherwise this criminal would simply be a genius." ”
"Yes," Qin Yongmei said, "Originally, I was still thinking about collecting fingerprints and footprints. But if you think about it, these things don't make sense to this case at all. ”
Lao Hu nodded: "Yes, Cai Dongliang and the deceased are a family, and the deceased has Cai Dongliang's fingerprints on his body, or there are Cai Dongliang's footprints in the house, which is normal, and there is no need to collect them at all." ”
"But after I came into contact with Cai Dongliang a few times, I feel that he is indeed not simple, he is definitely the kind of person who can carefully prepare for ten or twenty years in order to kill someone. Of course, this is just my female intuition. ”
Lao Hu and Lao Luo both laughed.
"Sometimes women's intuition is the key to solving a crime. ”
Qin Yongmei was a little embarrassed: "It may also be misleading, and the key is to look at the human and material evidence." ”
Lao Hu nodded: "If we have time these days, let's go to Qidingshan Village to visit the villagers." ”
"Okay, I'll schedule a time. ”
********************
Before the second brother Bai Bin went to college, Bai Ke still had a sense of superiority, and felt that his middle school education level was slightly higher than that of the second brother.
But after the second brother went to college for a year, Bai Ke came into contact with him again, and he obviously felt that the little foundation in his previous life was completely crushed by him.
And since 1980, the middle school in the county has changed from a four-year system to a five-year system.
By 1982, both primary and secondary schools in the county would be changed to a six-year system.
It can really be said that there are tigers and wolves in front and chasing soldiers in the back.
Bai Ke wanted to take time to cram for the middle school curriculum, but he had to sit in the classroom every day, listen to the lessons that were already ripe, and watch the precious time slip away from him.
He doesn't have much time outside of school.
Because Bai Zong was busy with the business of the photo studio, the business of engineering and Chinese medicinal materials could only be found by Bai Ke himself.
After the eldest cousin Feng Yan got married, she could no longer live in the office.
Besides, she is about to give birth and can't come to work anymore.
Second cousin Feng Jun is still a little unsafe to live alone in the office, although Kan Mingxi comes to accompany her from time to time, but it is not a long-term solution.
After the summer vacation, Bai Ke called his third cousin Fengqin over and asked her to live with Fengjun.
Among the three sisters, Feng Yan is a chronic son and has a bit of ink.
Feng Jun is quick with his hands and feet and works seriously.
Fengqin is a bit like a tomboy, in a hurry, and loves to run around.
It just so happened that Bai Ke asked her to run errands for herself, passing messages back and forth or something.
At present, the construction team led by Lao Kan is fighting all over the county.
After the completion of the open-air cinema, the Children's Palace and the Zhongchang cold storage are also nearing completion.
In addition, four or five other projects are still being carried out with great fanfare.
What Baike is most looking forward to is the medium and long cold storage.
On the one hand, after the medium and long cold storage is repaired, white customers can sit and collect small money.
On the other hand, with this large cold storage, you can eat all kinds of fresh vegetables in winter.
Vegetables such as garlic, leeks, cauliflower, and beans can be stored from autumn until the beginning of spring.
By the 80s there were these benefits.
Before the 80s, you had no way to buy good things if you had money.
After the 80s, as long as you have money, you can eat better than others.
The whole family is not only Bai Zong, but Bai Ke is so busy that he doesn't raise his head and don't open his eyes.
Bai Ce also adjusted the courseware and prepared the curriculum every day because of the four-year system to the five-year system.
Qin Yongmei lies on the kang every day after dinner to study the case.
Even Bai Ning, who was lazy all day, was busy.
During the summer vacation, Dolma's arrival obviously stimulated her.
Zhuoma is one year younger than Bai Ning, her height is already one meter six, and Bai Ning is only a little more than one meter five, can you not be in a hurry?
Every evening, Bai Ning pulled up the monkey skin band in the yard and kept jumping and jumping.
Jumping rubber bands is no longer a sport for her age.
But it's the only sport she enjoys.
And both Bai Ce and Bai Ke said that this stretching exercise could help her grow taller.
Bai Ke likes to watch girls dance rubber bands, and feels that it is the same as dancing, full of rhythm and rhythm.
He moved a small stool and sat on the side and watched for a while, and when he turned around, he found that his grandfather was also watching with a smile.
suddenly remembered that the whole family was enjoying life only with grandpa, and the others could only be regarded as not dead.
To put it mildly, they are all advancing towards the tomb, and they don't have time to enjoy the scenery along the way.
Bai Ke couldn't help but be a little confused.
When he returned from rebirth, his original intention was to let his family enjoy life and enjoy the joy of family life between relatives.
Unexpectedly, it backfired.
Right now, his father, Bai Ce, is busy preparing for class in Bai Bin's room.
Bai Ning struggled to grow taller in the yard.
The mother nested on the kang in the house to check the file.
The older brother was busy developing film in the darkroom.
Bai Ke watched his sister jump the rubber band for a while, and then got up and walked towards the house.
Mom and Dad's big room actually has a writing desk and a chair suitable for office.
But when Qin Yongmei is working at home, she likes to kneel on the kang, spread the dossier materials on the front and back of her body, and pick up this one and that one for a while.
One moment he lowered his head to mark, and the other looked up and pondered.
Seeing Bai Ke coming in, Qin Yongmei made a straight face: "Don't look at this, children." ”
"It's okay, I've seen '405 Murder' and 'Black Triangle'. What's so scary about this?"
"It's a movie, it's different in life. ”
"Look, won't I help you see Jiang Xixiang's case?"
As he spoke, Bai Ke reached out and picked up the information.
