Located between two mountains, the town of Chengdu-Chongqing is very small on a relatively open small basin, with only two main streets passing through the town, east, west, north and south. Standing at the entrance of the east side of the town, Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan estimated that there were less than 600 households.

It was easy to find the town police station, and after Dao Ming's intentions, he was very lucky to find the police record of the middle-aged couple who died by eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake from the old files kept by the police station.

It turned out that the middle-aged couple did not live in the town, but in a small mountain village called "Luoshipo", more than ten kilometers northwest of the town.

"Director Bai, it's only half past four now, are you bothering to send us over to have a look first?"

"Officer Rong, it's not impossible. It's just that if you want to go now, you can only spend the night in the car. ”

"Why?"

It's less than 30 kilometers back and forth, how could Director Bai of the police station say that?

"Hehe, this is the first time you have come here, right?" Seeing Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan nodding, Director Bai continued: "The road to Luoshipo is very difficult, and it is easy to say during the day, but the driving time per hour will definitely not exceed twenty kilometers. After dark, even we locals don't dare to drive on those roads. ”

Although Rong Liang, who has been a special forces soldier for ten years, disagrees with it, there is a saying that "the guest is as he pleases". Since Director Bai has already said this, it will not look good if he insists on it again. So, I had to nod and promise to go to the rockfall slope early tomorrow morning.

After staying overnight in the only small hotel in the town, early the next morning, Director Bai arranged for Xiao Chen, a young policeman from the police station, to accompany Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan to Luoshipo.

The car had just left the town less than three kilometers and had already driven into a winding mountain road that could not be seen up and down. And under the winding mountain road, there is an abyss that cannot be seen at a glance. After driving for half an hour, Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan glanced at each other, and then they realized that what Director Bai said yesterday evening was by no means alarmist. If you let Rong Liang, who has been a special forces soldier for ten years, drive, not to mention fast or slow, it is one thing to dare to drive or not.

Less than 15 kilometers away, the car walked for nearly 70 minutes. When the car stopped at the head of Luoshipo Village, Xiao Chen was fine, and Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan were already sweating in their palms holding the handrails in the car.

"Hehe, I can't imagine that the road here is so difficult. ”

"You outsiders may all know the phrase 'Shu Dao is difficult to go to the blue sky', but only after you really experience it can you understand how difficult it is. ”

Under the leadership of the policeman Xiao Chen, he first came to the house of the village party secretary.

"Liu Zhishu, haven't you gone to the ground yet?"

"Yo, it's Xiao Chen, sit in the room. ”

"Liu Zhishu, let me introduce to you, these two are Officer Rong and Officer Zhao from other provinces. ”

"Rare guest, rare guest, please sit down in the room and talk. ”

When they came to the house, the woman of Liu Zhishu served tea, and after a few simple greetings, Xiao Chen went straight to the point and said: "Liu Zhishu, Officer Rong and Officer Chen are here this time because of the food poisoning incident that killed two people twelve years ago. ”

"Ah, isn't that a foregone conclusion?"

"Liu Zhishu, we are not here for the dead middle-aged couple, but for their daughter Sakura. ”

"Oh, Sakura?" Liu Zhishu was obviously a little surprised, and asked with the tea, "That girl has long since died, what do you want to do with her?"

"Liu Zhishu, Sakura is dead?"

"Dead, her father died in the fourth year of her death. ”

"How did you die, and how old was Sakura when she died?"

"Should Sakura be seventeen or eighteen that year? Speaking of this, Liu Zhishu's face showed a hint of Qi, and he was silent for a moment and then said: "Alas, that's really a hard-working girl." ”

"Can Liu tell us more about what happened to Sakura?"

"Sakura is not the biological daughter of Liu Fugui and his wife, but the child of a distant cousin of Liu Fugui's woman's mother's family. I helped them collude back then. In order to have a son to inherit the family, the family gave birth to five girls in a row. Sakura is the second.

When Sakura was raised, the baby was less than five years old. Because of the large population and the fact that she is a female baby, the family does not treat her very well, so after coming here, she gets sick from time to time and invites disasters. It didn't make Liu Fugui worry about it a lot.

It's hard to raise to thirteen or fourteen years old, and the girl is also very sensible, although she studies in the middle school in the town, but every time she goes home, she always helps her parents do this and that, and she is diligent. Who would have thought that Liu Fugui and the two died of eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake. Leaving the lonely Sakura, she barely survived with the relief of her uncle and aunt.

Sakura was sixteen or seventeen years old when she ....... ”

At this time, the woman of Liu Zhishu answered: "Seventeen." ”

"When I was seventeen, I just gave her a mother-in-law's house, and the people in the village said that the hard life of the girl was coming to an end. But who would have thought that in the autumn of that year, Sakura accidentally fell off the mountain when she went to the back mountain to collect firewood. By the time the villagers found her, they were already out of breath. ”

"Yes, in the end, it was the people of the village who pooled the money to do the funeral for her. When the woman in Liu Zhishu said this, her eyes turned red involuntarily.

"Liu Zhishu, who of you here has a photo left by Sakura?"

"Yes, we have it in our family. It was taken for her to say that she was kissing. ”

The woman of Liu Zhishu immediately took down a photo frame hanging on the east wall of the house, pointed to one of the slightly yellowed group photos, standing in the front row, the girl wearing a new dress said to Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan: "It's her, this is Sakura." ”

Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan looked at it carefully for a while, and they couldn't help but shake their heads. Sakura in the photo and Li Di Sakura do look a little similar, but they are not a person at all.

"Liu Zhishu, look at this photo. ”

"Hey, how do you have a picture of Sakura?"

Liu Zhishu was shocked as soon as he took out the photo Rong Liang took out in his hand, and his woman pulled it over, only glanced at it and said, "Where is Sakura?"

"Why do I look so similar?"

"It's a bit like it. But this eyebrow is not the same person at all. Age doesn't match. Sakura was only seventeen years when she had an accident, and this girl was in her early twenties. ”

"We're here to figure this out, the girl in this picture is posing as Sakura here. So, I hope that Liu Zhishu can recall that when Sakura stumbled and died, were there any strangers in the village, especially strangers who looked like Sakura?"

"At that time, it seemed that there were really two strangers, but they were two middle-aged men, who said they were here to recruit workers. There is no woman who looks similar to Sakura. ”

"Auntie, can you tell us about those two people?"

"The two men spoke with foreign accents, were about forty years old, and didn't dress like ordinary people. Because they said that they would only recruit young girls, although there were many people around to watch the excitement, no one signed up. ”

"Why?"

"There have been girls in the village who have been deceived before, so no one dares to believe them anymore. ”

"And then?"

The two men wandered around the village for most of the day and left, never to be seen again. ”

"Did Sakura go to see the excitement at that time?"

"Almost all the girls at home in the village have been there, and Sakura shouldn't be able to leave behind. ”

"How many days after Sakura-chan left?"

"Three or five days, I can't remember the specifics. ”

"Do you doubt that Sakura's death was not an accident?"

"Liu Zhishu, it's hard to draw conclusions now. ”

Zhao Zengyuan then asked Liu Zhishu, "How far is Sakura's biological parents' house from here?"

"It's Wanpo Village, Xiao Chen knows the place. ”

"Liu Zhishu, who is in Wanpo Village?"

"Jin Qiyu, I saw him a while ago when I went to the town to run errands. ”

After bidding farewell to Liu Zhishu and leaving Luoshipo, the three of them drove straight to Wanpo Village, and after finding Jin Qiyu and confirming the origin of Xiaoying in Luoshipo, they went around in a big circle and returned to Chengyu Town at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Thanks to Director Bai, Rong Liang and Zhao Zengyuan rushed to Chongqing overnight by long-distance passenger bus.

On the way, Rong Liang called Ling Zhan to briefly report the situation, but heard Ling Zhan say: "Don't go back to General City first, immediately rush to Sishizhu Village in Fuyuan City, the situation here is very complicated." ”

"Yes, Team Ling. We'll be there tomorrow sooner or later. ”
