Chapter 50: Panic among the Whole People
The village chief brought people to Li's house and found Li Zongguo drowned in a bucket, and everyone was afraid and wondered how a big living person could drown in such a bucket? Is it time to be placed here, these are not what they should think about now, now they want to see how Zhang Shufen is. A few people thought about it and walked into the house quickly, and looked around the house but there was no shadow of Zhang Shufen, Zhang Shufen was not in the house.
The village chief brought people to the courtyard again, he lit a cigarette, he was also thinking about what to do about this matter, this is the third life, to say that the death of the cuckoo is suicide, and the identity of the cuckoo cannot be exposed, they dealt with it themselves, but now two more villagers have died, and these two people are not ordinary people, if Zhang Shufen has another accident, don't look at the closure of this village, but this kind of thing is not something that he can afford by a small village chief. What should I do now?
After the village chief smoked, he made up his mind, he gathered some people to come to Li's house, this time he did not touch Li Zongguo's body, and first sent a group of people to find Zhang Shufen, regardless of life or death. After that, he sent two more people to the township to find the contact person above, and told the messenger that no matter what instructions were given above, he couldn't bear this matter, and told the messenger to go directly to the police station in the township after contacting. After all the arrangements were made, the village chief felt that he couldn't stay anymore, and he also took a few people to look for Zhang Shufen.
When he was about to leave, the village chief looked at Wang Qinglian, who was already scared, and the village chief felt uncomfortable, he stepped forward to help Wang Qinglian, Wang Qinglian desperately threw herself into the arms of the village chief, and said: "Zhang Gui, I'm afraid, don't leave me······" Everyone knows the relationship between Wang Qinglian and the village chief, and even the village chief's wife turns a blind eye, and they don't dare to mess with the Li family. But on the bright side, the two still deliberately kept some distance, and the village chief accompanied her at Wang Qinglian's house these days.
But now that Wang Qinglian doesn't care about anything, she is really frightened. Seeing this, the others were not surprised, and they all stood there with their heads bowed and waited for the village chief's next order. The village chief pulled Wang Qinglian and told several people present that he would send Wang Qinglian back first, and then they would search for Zhang Shufen together.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, several teams of people who searched in the village came back, and they searched the village but did not find Zhang Shufen. Xu Dafu said to the village chief, can Zhang Shufen enter the tunnel because she is afraid? The village chief also nodded after hearing this, this is possible. Xu Dafu signaled again, don't you need to go down the tunnel to find it? The village chief hurriedly shook his head, he understood that if Zhang Shufen really entered the tunnel, even if she died inside, she would not be able to go down, because their fear of the tunnel was now far greater than the fear of the "revenant" cuckoo.
At this time, Niu Erfen, who led people to search outside the village, hurriedly ran back, and he found Zhang Shufen. And the location where Zhang Shufen was found was the place where the cuckoo was buried.
The village chief brought him here, and because of the heavy rain overnight, the ground here was muddy, and everyone lay down on the muddy ground, and they saw a person kneeling there in the distance. Everyone came here to take a closer look, this person was Zhang Shufen, she was kneeling there, her head bowed and motionless, her posture was very similar to Li Zongguo. Although everyone didn't step forward to shake her, it felt that Zhang Shufen should be dead. This is also something that everyone expected. At one o'clock in the afternoon, two police cars roared into the village.
It was Huang Guangping, the director of the township police station, who came to Li's house with the village chief who came to greet him, and the villagers knew that the police station was coming, so they all came out to see, and Wufu in the crowd saw at a glance that the policeman who followed Director Huang was the policeman who was connected with the second brother in the township supply and marketing cooperatives that day, of course, Wufu didn't know that this person was called Wang Jianguo.
The group was divided into three groups, one group went to Li's house, one group went to the empty house where Dahua's body was parked, and one group went to the mass grave behind the village where Zhang Shufen died. The police were busy for most of the day, investigating the scene, conducting a simple autopsy, and symbolically finding a few arranged villagers to inquire about the case. At about seven o'clock in the evening, Director Huang returned with the police and left Baihu Village in a hurry.
After sending the police away, the village chief returned to the village committee, where several village leaders were still waiting for the village chief. The village chief told them to bury the three members of the Li family tomorrow morning, and they could bury them in the back of the village, and the matter was characterized as accidental death, and they didn't have to worry about the rest.
After listening to this, several people also exclaimed that the "above" was really capable, and this matter was suppressed like this, and Niu Erqi on the side asked the village chief what to do with the "business" in the future?
After hearing this, the village chief glared at him and scolded in his mouth: "I don't know what is dead or alive, I still think about business, don't die!" ”
In fact, Niu Eryan also said a big voice, although this incident scared everyone enough, but they were lucky to think that the culprit was the Li family, they were accomplices at best, and now that the culprit is dead, if such a tempting "business" is not done at the moment, they are really unwilling.
This is the village chief who also saw everyone's reaction, and he said again: "The above explained, the period of the year before the first stopped, and when this matter passed, the year after the year began, but it was also explained, no one is allowed to leave Baihu Village during this time." ”
After the explanation, the village chief said to everyone that although the Li family is dead, everyone can't just watch it like this, and they have to handle the aftermath.
There was nothing to do overnight, and the next day the village chief and Wang Qinglian handled the funeral of the Li family, and the village chief and Wang Qinglian first turned out a cloth bag in the Li family, which contained 40,000 yuan, which was the money that the Li family had earned by "business" over the years, and now that the Li family has no one, what should be done with the money? Now the only relative of the Li family is Wang Qinglian, Wang Qinglian looked at the money, and couldn't help but be greedy, and finally Wang Qinglian said that the money would be silent, and gave the village chief 10,000, and the remaining 30,000 yuan was left here by Wang Qinglian first, and the village chief had no opinion, at least his 10,000 yuan for nothing. At this time, they found a few photos of the Li family below. These photos were taken at the photo studio in the town before, when the Li family was in their prime.
Wang Qinglian put the cloth bag containing the money on the kang on the side, and took out these photos, and the village chief also came up to look at these photos, but the more the two looked at these photos, the more they felt cold in their hearts, and they always felt that the people in the photos were so infiltrating. At this time, both of them smelled a smell of smoke coming up, and the two looked back to see that the cloth bag that had been placed on the kang to hold the money had been burned, and the village chief hurriedly wanted to extinguish the fire with his hands, but the flames had risen rapidly, and as soon as the village chief stretched out his hand, his hand was also on fire for some reason, and he screamed in pain. Seeing this, Wang Qinglian hurriedly picked up the quilt on the kang and hurriedly covered it on the cloth bag, and took another quilt to cover the village chief's hand.
The fires on both sides were extinguished, the village chief's painful sweat beads crackled down, one of his hands had been scorched, Wang Qinglian hurriedly lifted the quilt covering the money, and then looked at the charred black piece below, she took a burden, and only a few hundred yuan of 40,000 yuan were left that were not burned. When she looked back, the village chief's hand was burned to reveal white bones.
Wang Qinglian hurriedly went out to call someone, and when the people came, they hurriedly drove a farm truck to send the village chief to the township health center. But the village chief's hand is gone.
Three days later, Wang Qinglian invited Mr. Yin and Yang to hold a funeral for the Li family, and the funeral was extremely simple, and then the Li family was hastily buried. Wang Qinglian has nothing unusual in the past few days, but it's a pity that the 40,000 yuan makes her feel distressed.
The villagers, including Wang Qinglian, felt that this matter had come to an end because of the Li family's annihilation, but what they didn't expect was that this long torture had quietly begun.
Two months later, has entered the cold winter, this year's winter is particularly cold, the coldest time can reach more than 10 degrees below zero, this day some people in the village want to go to the town to catch the market, more than 10 people on the farm truck just out of the village for a while, the farm car suddenly failed, and when it was discovered, these people have fallen on the snow, 12 people have not survived, this is another accident. Since then, accidents in the village have begun to occur one after another.
