"Huh?"

Li Jing put down the information in his hand and looked at me funny: "Didn't you notice that the village chief had no intention of killing him at all?" The person who released the letter should also be sent by the village chief, and this so-called conspiracy meeting is simply to drag down all those who intend to harm Peng Wen and create time for Peng Wen to escape, and the village is not safe. Otherwise, in that dangerous situation, how could Peng Wen have fled in the first place? ”

"So the village chief is a good man?" According to Li Jing, it seems that we have wronged the village chief before.

Li Jing shook his head instead: "It's hard to say whether he is a good person or not." There are two possibilities for the village chief to release him at that time, the first possibility is that as we guessed before, the village chief secretly summoned everyone to create an opportunity for Peng Wen's escape in order to protect Peng Wen from harm; There is another possibility. Li Jing said this, and suddenly stopped.

"What else is possible?" I asked anxiously.

Li Jing pondered for a moment, and then said, "There is also a possibility that the village chief deliberately let Peng Wen go to facilitate his future murder plan. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked Li Jing, "You mean the village chief is making alibi for himself?" ”

"That's just one aspect. On the other hand, even if Peng Wen is killed according to the ancient village rules, it is illegal in modern society to use lynching without evidence. What's more, there is no evidence that Peng Wen killed Jia Xiaoyu, all of which is just speculation and unfounded rumors between the names of the village. The village chief must know that if they kill Peng Wen in the village in order to serve the people, they will be held accountable, and they will also be tried and punished. Therefore, they can choose another way to kill Peng Wen outside the village without knowing it, and then even if they don't say it, the police will find out Peng Wen's identity and contact the village. At this time, they can either put Peng Wen to death according to their own ideas, or they can escape the punishment of the law. ”

"How can this be?" I covered my mouth in surprise.

Li Jing leaned back on the sofa behind him: "It is necessary for us to go to that village to find out what kind of idea the village chief holds." ”

Peng Wen's hometown is far away from us, and it takes five hours to fly at the earliest. After that, I had to change to a bus, and I only got to the county seat after getting off the bus, and I had to go further into the mountains to really reach the village where Peng Wen was born. Peng Wen's hometown has a beautiful mountain scene, and every year, a large number of photography enthusiasts make a special trip to the mountains and forests near his hometown to collect wind. Most travelers will choose to find an inn in the county town to rest for a day before entering the mountains. By the way, adjust and make up the equipment for entering the mountain. After discussing with Li Jing, we decided to rest in this county seat now, on the one hand, from yesterday afternoon to catch a plane on the impromptu basis, and then take a bus into the county seat. The two of us really need to take a good rest, on the other hand, we really don't want to expose our identities too early, we are not familiar with life, coupled with Peng Wen's matter, in order not to make trouble for ourselves, or eat closed-door soup, we are ready to find a way to leave again in the county.

Maybe there will be some clues in the county, I thought silently. Li Jing seemed to guess my thoughts and tapped my bowl with chopsticks; "Eat well first. After eating, let's go and inquire if anyone in the county knows about it. ”

I nodded, and was just about to prepare to catch the fish, when I heard a noise from the table behind me: "I said, why are you so stubborn, isn't it just a piece of clothing?" Are you talking about it for a long time, why don't you shoot without that dress? There was obvious impatience in the man's tone.

I glanced back, and sure enough, the man at the table behind me was talking about the girl sitting behind me, the girl had bright dyed hair, and her long orange hair had a pink gradient at the ends, this beautiful but exaggerated hair color must have been someone who worked in the art world like a model. If I dye my hair this color, I'm sure I'll be torn by the dean's hand. I thought silently in my heart for a moment.

The girl wears a sleeveless cropped denim T-shirt. The looming waistline can be seen when the movement is a little bigger, and she is not to be outdone, she replied: "What's the matter?" I had to wear that dress for a photoshoot. The theme of this shoot is growth, and I want to wear the same clothes to take pictures of different feelings. Although the girl's words were a little willful, they still sounded quite reasonable.

The man he was talking to noticed that I was looking at them. Pursed his lips and stopped talking. I hurriedly turned my head back, and the moment I turned my head, I heard him helplessly coax the girl and say, "Is it okay to wear a similar one, didn't we find that your dress was missing when we went back?" It must have been lost somewhere, your coat is the graduation project of an art academy student, I can't buy you the same one, it's too embarrassing for me if you do this again. ”

The girl didn't buy it: "I don't care." I'm going to have to make it all the same, or you'll make me another one, or else. The girl snorted coldly, "Hmph, you can find that dress for me right here." With that, the girl leaned hard against the back of the chair, and the force was so great that I felt that my chair was also moving.

"Can you please stop being so vexatious?" The boy's voice was raised a little more.

As the boy's volume increased, the girl's volume also increased: "Am I being vexatious? That's when I lost that dress when I was taking pictures here, so it's only natural to find it here. Because of that photo, I was selected by Alai to be his model for his show at Fashion Week, which made my later modeling career, am I wrong now to revisit my original intention? I'm going to wear that coat for a photoshoot. Listening to the girl's tone, it seemed that she was already trying to find and torture the man opposite her. But listening to the meaning of the girl's words, she seems to be a pretty famous model.

The man on the other side was speechless, and after a "you", there was no more sound.

On the contrary, Li Jing, who was sitting opposite me, got up and walked to the table behind me, and when I reacted, he was already standing next to the girl behind me with a photo: "Miss, did you lose this coat 5 years ago?" "I caught a glimpse of the photo in Li Jing's hand, which was the photo of the coat with space elements that was collected by the police as physical evidence.

The girl frowned and looked Li Jing up and down, probably thinking that it was strange for someone to suddenly come over and ask him about this photo, but when she moved her eyes to the photo, she let out a big exclamation: "This is it, how do you know." Oops, how did it break? ”

Li Jing put the photo back in his notebook, glanced around, and said, "Can we borrow a step to talk?" ”

When Li Jing was discussing with them, I settled the meal money. When the girl turned around to look at the photo in Li Jing's hand, I recognized her as Ye Ya, the star who has become a mess recently. From an unknown show model to a current film and television star, all kinds of news around her are endless, I really didn't expect to meet her here, let alone that she would have a lot of connections with Peng Wen's case back then.

We sat down in a newly opened teahouse in the county, the owner of this teahouse is a local, and half a photographer, and more and more people have been taking pictures here in recent years, so we set up a teahouse, one is to increase income, and the other is to be able to better communicate with like-minded people. Ye Ya's photographer is a good friend of the owner of the teahouse, so we easily entered the private room in the teahouse.

"Then I can return my coat now, right?" As soon as Ye Ya sat down, he asked Li Jing.

Li Jing shook his head: "Not yet." ”

"Why?" Ye Ya's expression obviously became dissatisfied because of Li Jing's refusal, and the photographer sitting next to her also looked at Li Jing curiously.

Li Jing didn't rush to explain to them: "Miss Ye, can you tell us about the specific situation when you found out that your coat was lost?" ”

Ye Ya glanced at Li Jing: "Why should I sue you?" ”

Li Jing patiently explained to her: "A friend of mine has fallen into some trouble, which may have something to do with Miss Ye's clothes, so I would like to ask you to help me recall what happened when I lost my clothes." ”

"Why should I help you? Ah, I see, your friend must have stolen my clothes and been caught, right? Give me back my clothes. Miss Ye hugged her arms and looked at Li Jing proudly.

For an egotistical maniac who usually crushes others, Ye Ya's arrogant attitude has obviously exhausted Li Jing's rare patience, as I expected, after being treated rudely by Ye Ya repeatedly, Li Jing made a face: "I hope Miss Ye still cooperates, your clothes are related to a murder." This dress is evidence of my friend's murder, so if you don't cooperate with us to talk about the situation at the time, I think the only place we can stop talking is the police station, after all, you are the real owner of this evidence, how can you not be separated from the case, right? I don't think Miss Ye wants to get into trouble either, right? ”

I didn't expect it to be suitable for such a thing, and Ye Ya and her photographer's faces became ugly. His photographer reacted first, and hurriedly smiled: "I think sir, you misunderstood, we just want to get the clothes back, this dress Ye Ya lost it when she took a photo last time, how could she be a little girl, how could it be related to the murder?" ”

Li Jing glanced at the cameraman, and then turned his gaze to Ye Ya, who was sitting opposite with a panicked face: "This is not necessarily, the murder has nothing to do with whether she is a little girl or not." The physical evidence is all there, and if there are any more witnesses, the case will be solved. "I knew Li Jing was scaring her.

Ye Ya was obviously frightened by Li Jing's words, and while shaking his hand, he said in a loud voice: "It has nothing to do with me, it really has nothing to do with me." ”

"Can you remember what happened this time?" Li Jing finally turned back to the topic. (To be continued.) )
