When Jiang Sheng, Xiao Wu and Zhao Dahai came out of the bathhouse, it was already dark, and we were playing all the way, and when we arrived at Sanlitun, it was already moonlight.

My mother stood at the door with an anxious expression, and when she saw me and Jiang Sheng coming back, she straightened up and asked why we came back so late.

"Mom, Xiao Wu and Zhao Dahai and I went to the bathhouse to take a bath, and my sister was waiting for me at the door." Jiang Sheng told the truth.

The mother frowned and said, "Children can't go to the bathhouse in the future, and your father will be unhappy if he knows. ”

Jiang Sheng nodded and said, "I won't go after that." ”

Only then did the mother soften her tone and ask, "Who is the leader of the family today?" ”

Jiang Sheng said, "It's Aunt Lan Ying. ”

The mother hummed and said, "I'll go to him after dinner, and say, the children in this tun have just been weaned, so how can she rest assured that she will leave it alone." ”

Jiang Sheng said: "Aunt Lan Ying is fine, I gave everyone a maltose in the classroom today. ”

"Well, your Aunt Lan Ying is good, I'm not good." Mother said.

Jiang Sheng hurriedly changed his words and said, "Mom is the best." ”

Seeing Jiang Sheng's serious appearance, the mother couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, hurry up and go into the house to eat, the food should be cold in a while." ”

Jiang Sheng and I washed our hands and sat down at the table with my mother to eat together, and my mother said that my father would come back late these days, so let's go to bed after eating and playing for a while.

The moon was particularly bright that night, and when my mother was washing the dishes in the yard, Zhao Dahai suddenly ran into the yard and asked breathlessly, "Auntie, is my mother at your house?" ”

Liu Lanying has a very good relationship with her mother, and she will visit each other when she has nothing to do on weekdays, Liu Lanying likes to dress up and often gives her mother some rouge gouache, but her mother has always used it sparingly, even if she uses it, she doesn't go out, and she washes it off after a while for her father and me to look at it.

The mother said, "Your mother didn't come to our house today, is it because she hasn't come back from the town meeting?" ”

"I don't know, I'll look for it again." Zhao Dahai's voice was aggrieved, and he looked crying.

"The sea hasn't eaten yet, the porridge we boiled is still hot, and the steamed buns that have just been steamed tonight, you eat them first, my aunt will help you find them, your mother loves to play, and I am familiar with the places she often goes." Mother pulled Zhao Dahai into the house. "Jiang Sheng, beckoning the sea to eat."

Jiang Sheng agreed, helped Zhao Dahai serve porridge, and picked up two steamed buns from the pot, his mother was secretly happy in her eyes, and then turned around and went out.

Half an hour later, my mother came back from outside, and Zhao Dahai, who was playing with us, hurriedly asked my mother if she had found Liu Lanying.

The mother hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't found it yet, I guess it's a relative, you go home first and wait, maybe she will call back, nothing will happen to such a big person, you don't have to worry." ”

"Yes." Zhao Dahai nodded, said goodbye to us and walked home.

At that time, Zhao Fugui had just come home from outside, and as a landlord, he naturally would not cook by himself, and the whole family was waiting for Liu Lanying to come home. Liu Lanying is a slutty bitch in the eyes of the young people in Sanlitun, and some elderly laborers will unconsciously look at her ass when they see Liu Lanying, but Liu Lanying will definitely not go home at night, according to the usual, she should have gone home today.

At present, the soldiers are in chaos, and the city of Beiping looks peaceful on the surface, but in fact, there are many people missing and injured in the city every day, especially beautiful women who can't go out at will.

Zhao Fugui was in a hurry at home, so he had to knock on the door door to ask, and when he knocked on Xiao Wu's house, Xiao Wu heard Zhao Fugui's voice, and then remembered the letter that Liu Lanying asked him to hand over to Ma Aiguo during the day, so he touched his clothes pocket, and found that the pocket was empty.

And when Zhao Fugui led Zhao Dahai to my house again, my father had already returned from the town.

My father had already heard my mother tell me about Liu Lanying's disappearance when I was eating before, and when I saw Zhao Fugui looking for me, he asked: "When I came back, I didn't see Dahai's mother on the road, is it like Xiumei, who lives in the inn in the town quietly?" ”

Zhao Fugui frowned and said: "No, even if she lives in the town, she should make a call home, she can cook in this family, and she doesn't know." ”

The father said: "Maybe you are playing cards with a few card friends in the town, you can call someone you know in the town and ask, and I will drink porridge and go with you to find it." ”

"Okay." Zhao Fugui nodded, hurriedly went home and called his friends in the town, and then rode a girder car to the town with his father.

When it was close to the early hours of the morning, Zhao Fugui and his father came back from the town, Zhao Fugui's expression was a little depressed, and he said: "This blind girl has no score for doing things!" ”

The father looked at his mother and whispered: "I have found several inns to stay in, and a few friends who know Fugui have said that they have not been there." ”

At that time, Xiao Wu's family had already fallen asleep, and when he heard the knock on the door, Niu Aihua's high-pitched voice of scolding came out, followed by Xiao Wu's aggrieved cry, he shouted: "Mom, you want to scare me to death!" ”

Sanlitun went door-to-door to help find Liu Lanying, the night was dark and the wind was high, and there were few flashlights in Sanlitun at that time, so they could only carry mutton fat lamps to light them around. Most of the villagers went to the nearby ravines and ditches to look for someone who had fallen into the ditch and drowned a few years ago.

Even Zhang Guangzhu heard the movement, and he carried a mutton fat lamp and followed everyone to find someone.

I looked at Zhang Guangzhu's obscene appearance, and I couldn't help but think of what I saw that day when I was lying on the crack of the door.

Xiao Wu put on his clothes and walked out of the house sleepily, while Zhao Dahai stood beside us with a blank face and was at a loss.

And standing beside Jiang Sheng, I kept holding the letter with blurred handwriting in my hand, and I clearly remembered that it was written, see you 100 meters west of Shiqiao, Liu Lanying.

"Brother, let's go to the big stone bridge and have a look." I whispered to Jiang Sheng.

Jiang Sheng said: "There must be adults looking for it at the big stone bridge, if there are people, then they will be found." ”

I hesitated for a moment, stuffed the letter paper in my hand to Jiang Sheng, Jiang Sheng was strange, turned his back and looked at the handwriting on the letter by the moonlight, and then quietly tore up the letter paper and stuffed it in his pocket, Jiang Sheng pretended that nothing had happened, and said to Zhao Dahai and Xiao Wu: "Let's go look for it too?" ”

Zhao Dahai and Xiao Wu both nodded, and followed Jiang Sheng sleepily, Jiang Sheng held my hand all the way to the big stone bridge.

Xiao Wu and Zhao Dahai shouted a few times on the stone bridge, Liu Lanying did not get a response, and not far away, adults from Sanlitun were walking with mutton oil lamps.

Jiang Sheng glanced at me, and I knew that he was going to take a look at the place mentioned in the letter, so he whispered, "Brother, I'm afraid." ”

"It's fine." Jiang Sheng also whispered, holding my hand and walking into the darkness.

The big stone bridge is surrounded by endless wheat fields, the head of the wheat field is the potholed river, when digging the river to water the ground, digging a lot of uneven steps, the weather will collapse after a long time, forming an open-air hollow the size of a house, a group of us play hide and seek when occasionally run far away will hide in these shelters.

"Auntie, are you here?" Jiang Sheng looked at the dark void in front of him and asked, this place is just about a hundred meters away from the big stone bridge, and through the moonlight, you can faintly see a black shadow in the cavity of the collapse.

"What are you guys doing here, go home!"

A villager with a sheep oil lamp came up, and while blaming us, he shone into the hollow in front of us, and was so frightened that he almost threw the oil lamp on the ground.

On the empty steps, Liu Lanying was lying on it in a mess, her clothes were torn, the blood on her lower body was dripping all over the ground, and her eyes were staring ahead, dead and blind.

Zhao Dahai was so frightened that he cried, Xiao Wu's face was also pale, his eyes were red, the villager asked us not to look, and hurriedly shouted for the villagers of Sanlitun to come over.

After a while, the villagers of Sanlitun gathered, and when Zhao Fugui saw Liu Lanying's death, he patted his thigh and cried: "What kind of evil have I done!" ”

A person who was fine during the day was gone at night, and everyone could see that Liu Lanying was killed.

And the first murderer I thought of was Zhang Guangzhu in Tunzi.

"It must be Zhang Guang, that beast still follows Dahai Mother during the day!" A villager said.

"I also saw it, this beast ran to the store of the rich family when he had nothing to do, and he used to see the big girl outside the village who was not honest, and he really gave it to the dog with a conscience!" Another villager said.

Zhang Guangzhu thought that he was doing it unconsciously, during the day he rushed back to Tunzi and happened to see Liu Lanying, so he followed all the way, and when he arrived at the mouth of Tunzi, Zhang Guangzhu talked to Liu Lanying in a hairy manner, Liu Lanying ignored it, scolded Zhang Guangzhu a few words, Zhang Guangzhu was not good at attacking, so he had to go home in a huff, and in the evening he saw Liu Lanying walking towards the big stone bridge behind Tunzi in the yard, so he quietly followed behind.

Zhang Guangzhuo's family happened to live opposite Zhao Zhuang's house, and Zhao Zhuang's father happened to see this scene in the courtyard at that time.

Zhao Zhuang's father hesitated for a moment and said, "I also saw Zhang Guangshan in the evening, and he followed Dahai Ma to the back of Tunzi.

Zhang Guangzhu, who was standing on the wheat field in the dark night, heard the discussion of the villagers, the oil lamp in his hand fell on the field with a snap, and then turned around and ran.

Zhang Guangzhu didn't run away, and was blocked in the alley when he jumped into the tunzi, and he wanted to pack up his belongings and run away at this juncture.

A group of young people pressed Zhang Guangzhu to the ground and beat him for more than 10 minutes, his nose and eyes were swollen and his head was bleeding; in those days, raping women was a very serious crime, and when the world was in turmoil, some villagers would tie the criminals to the wind stakes at the head of the village and burn them alive, or drag them to the vegetable market and behead them on the street.

When the village chief and Zhao Fugui arrived at Zhang Guang's house, Zhang Guangzhu kept shouting, and he shouted: "Wronged, village chief, you have to call the shots for me, I really didn't do anything to hurt heaven and reason!" ”

The village chief snorted and said, "Everyone is dead, you say you are wronged, what are you running away from the people who didn't hurt you?" ”

Zhang Guangzhu said: "I just went over and heard you talking about the person I harmed, I was afraid of course I ran away, otherwise I can't say it clearly, isn't it?" ”

"Can you tell me now?" The village chief said, looking at the young men and said, "Go and search this beast's house to see if you can find anything, and it is not a good thing to sneak around all day long." ”

Several young people immediately entered Zhang Guang's house, and after a while, they pulled out a red belly pocket, and a group of village women scolded when they saw this thing, and even the young man holding the belly pocket blushed so much that he couldn't hang it.

Zhang Guangzhu was half frightened to death when he saw the belly pocket, and said: "It's not true, I stole it, I'm a beast, but this belly pocket has nothing to do with Liu Lanying!" ”

Another young man came out of the hall of Zhang Guang's house and whispered a few words in the ear of the village chief, who looked at Zhao Fugui and patted him on the shoulder and motioned to go in together.

The young man lifted the blanket of the bachelor's bed, and a pair of bloody trousers were pressed under the blanket.

"My day your grandma, which goddamn dog mongrel harms Lao Tzu! This is sincerely asking for Lao Tzu's life! Zhang Guangshan was so anxious that he cried when he saw the dirty pants under the bed.

When Liu Lanying died, the profane pants on his lower body were missing, and now his profane pants were found under the bed of Zhang Guangshan's house.

Zhang Guangzhu was stripped of his clothes and tied to the wind stake at the mouth of Tunzikou, crying all night, shouting all night of injustice, until the next day when the town police took him away, they were still crying out for injustice.

There is no need to investigate this case, the human and material evidence is complete, as long as he goes through a layer of execution procedures, Zhang Guangzhu will definitely die.
