When the villain Zhong Zhuowen came to Nanxi in the morning, she not only carried a big backpack, but also brought a thick stack of names and contact information.

They were all witnesses who had been collected by the police back then.

Ling Li was still worried about how to find her neighbors and friends back then, but Nan Zhiyi had already found a solution.

Naturally, it takes the least effort to get it from the police.

Ling Li originally thought that Nan Zhiyi proposed to expand the scope of the investigation on a whim, but who knew that he had already prepared, and it was likely that he would start preparing before he set off.

After persuading Ling Li to stay in Nanxi, he notified Zhong Zhuowen, another beautiful girl related to this case, to come, saying that their investigation needed to find a villain as a witness, but in fact, they also helped him bring the list information over so that he would not run errands.

In addition, there is also the meaning of disliking Ling Li's lack of brightness in his head and needing fresh blood to bring new brains.

Listening to the discussion between the two of them, Ling Li sighed that the beef tongue and beef brisket were so delicious, and at the same time tried to keep up with the rapidly changing ideas between their conversations.

"The people who have been there today are basically the neighbors on the same street as Fan Mei back then, but they all seem to have indifferent memories of what happened eight years ago. The only thing that is certain is that they are quite impressed by the ability of the pink girl's mother. Nan Zhiyi said.

"Yes, praising in unison that a woman will be in charge of everything and will take care of all the big and small things, which shows that Aunt Zhang was really powerful back then." Zhong Zhuowen nodded in agreement, and then looked suspicious, "And why did Uncle Ling buy liquor for Aunt Zhang to buy, but I only bought rat poison and went by myself, I don't really figure this out." Does any rat have to buy his own medicine? ”

Ling Li couldn't help but interject: "I said that my mother is very capable, and there are no rats in the house, so there will be no rat infestation in my house." ”

One big and one small glared at her at the same time, almost in unison: "Not for the mouse, but for what?" ”

Ling Li moved her lips, and she couldn't find a reason for a long time.

Buying rat poison is not to poison rats, it can only poison other creatures.

For example, people.

Obviously, Nan Zhiyi and Zhong Zhuowen did not go in this direction, they always believed that if a doctor wanted to poison, there were other good ways, and there was no need to bother to do anything at all*.

Do something that can be done with white phosphorus colchicine, and you don't need to ask someone to make rat poison.

Their argument is still based on the basic thesis that rat poison is meant to poison rats.

And the question raised by Zhong Zhuowen happened to be something that Ling Li couldn't figure out, she couldn't answer, so she had to be speechless and continued to lower her head to solve the food on the plate.

When she finished eating, the two people in front of her were already silent, looking at each other with serious expressions.

"What's wrong?" She was stunned for a few seconds and asked.

"It may be a bit of a clue," Nan Zhiyi touched his chin thoughtfully, "We just speculated on a possibility. ”

Before Ling Li could ask him what he was, Zhong Zhuowen pulled her out of the notebook and pointed to her the names of the people: "Sister Ling, you hook out the three aunts and six women who are more fond of spreading rumors and rumors." ”

She paused, then added, "There is also that kind of careful and well-informed bag inquiry." ”

Ling Li followed her request, carefully recalled for a while, and selected three or five names from them, Zhong Zhuowen's eyes lit up, and she went out to make a phone call with her notebook.

A few minutes later, she came back with a high spirit: "I asked, there are several possibilities that we speculated, and they will be sent to my phone after a while." Also, it was determined that there was a flood that year, and there were also dead and wounded. It's just that the accidental death rate near Ling'an Town that year was not different from previous years, and the number of deaths did not fluctuate much. ”

This headless and endless remark made Ling Li scratch her head, plus she was a little slow to react when she was too full, but when she looked up and saw Nan Zhiyi with a smile on the corner of her mouth, she seemed to have figured it out.

She looked at him expectantly.

At the critical moment, Nan Zhiyi didn't sell it, and bluntly stated his speculation: "I confirmed with you that the day of the crime was neither your grandparents' birthday, nor was it the Mid-Autumn Festival of the Middle Yuan, let alone the Qingming Festival." Your father was very sick and depressed at that time, and he usually didn't go out for ten days and half a month, but he went to the cemetery with a wine bottle for the first time, why is this? ”

Ling Li shook her head in a daze.

Naturally, going to the cemetery is to worship the ancestors, but Nan Zhiyi got to the point, it's not a New Year's festival and there is no special day, why did her father choose that day?

If you want to say that her father, an atheist who can't be beaten by iron, except for the meaning when he should go to the grave, he usually educates his sisters and brothers not to blame the power and confusion, and naturally there is no bad habit of asking the common people about ghosts and gods.

She was still thinking nonsense, but Nan Zhiyi seemed to have a direction, and her eyes were burning: "No matter what, I can basically be sure that there must be a connection between your father's behavior of buying * and later when he went to the grave with a wine bottle, as for what the connection is......"

Ling Li opened her eyes wide and pricked up her ears, for fear of missing a word.

Unexpectedly, he hummed and laughed twice, looked at Zhong Zhuowen and smiled, and then sold Guan Zi generously: "...... Let's listen to the next breakdown. ”

Because he had eaten Ling Li's hammer in half of his words, Nan Zhiyi still did not repent, and resolutely did not say what his conclusion was.

Zhong Zhuowen was not afraid of Ling Li's threat, and resolutely fought on a front with Nanzhiyi, just symbolically comforting Ling Li after dawn.

Seeing that one big and one small couldn't get anything out of their mouths, Ling Li was angry and sulky, and she was still angry until she returned to the park, and when she got out of the car, the car door shook the sky, and Zhong Zhuowen couldn't help but feel sorry for Nanzhiyi's million-dollar luxury car.

Returning to the accommodation area with a black face, Ling Li didn't want to say goodbye to the two people who deliberately lost her appetite, and went back to the room, and wanted to slam the door again if she didn't agree.

Nan Zhiyi stopped her from closing the door one step ahead of her, so frightened that Ling Li hurriedly held on to the door that was about to be closed.

If she had thrown it a little faster, would she have to break this nasty ghost's hand?

"What?" Startled, she was a little angry.

"Sleep well," he whispered, "I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight and check the information all over the country, obediently, you can sleep peacefully, there are already professionals helping us investigate, maybe there will be an answer tomorrow." ”

His eyes were bright, and the fluorescent lamp above his head made his hair turn cold and white, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was warm.

And behind him, the epiphany that spreads and grows in the night.

Such a picture made Ling Li's heart soften all of a sudden.

Just believe him, why are you worrying so much?

The tense expression finally relaxed slowly, she nodded, and replied softly, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Set off early the next morning, Nan Zhiyi really did not break his promise.

He explained to Ling Li while driving: "Your father is a doctor, bought rat poison, went to the cemetery, and there was a flood that year. I'm afraid of misleading you, so I'll just tell you so much, let's look for clues again today, and wait for the news from the capital by the way, if the two can correspond, then basically this question will have an answer. ”

Ling Li nodded, silently reciting doctors, rat poison, graveyards, and floods over and over again along the way.

The first person to visit was Granny Yu, who Ling Li thought was the most broken mouth in the town back then.

Granny Yu lived on the same street as her family back then, but the Yu family was on the street, and her house was in the middle of the street, almost more than 100 meters apart.

Granny Yu is seventy-three this year, and the reason why she has such a deep impression in Ling Li's heart is because Granny Yu was known as the "good name" of artificial satellites back then.

It is said that she began to visit the house every day after breakfast, but whenever she got new news, she must go from the street to the end of the street, going door to door and saying that as long as there is a woman in the house, she will not escape one of her mouths.

She has a bit of a talkative work ethic, after talking about gossip, you can talk to a few words, if you don't want to, she doesn't get angry, pat her ass and go to the next house.

The big waves sweep the sand, cast a wide net, and you can always find a hexagram friend who can get together.

Naturally, this net was also frequently sprinkled on Zhang Shouyu's head.

And Zhang Shouyu has always been silent and listened to her with a smile, and then brought a bowl of tea to Granny Yu. Granny Yu also understood what this meant, and left after drinking tea quickly, and thanked her politely before leaving, as if she regarded the Ling family as a transit rest stop for her gossip.

Although Ling Li thinks she loves gossip too much, she doesn't feel annoying. It was during that time that she and Ling Ling hid in the house and listened to a lot of wall roots.

For example, the third sister-in-law next door was unmarried and pregnant and got married, for example, the cousin of Mr. Huang, who taught the third grade of primary school next door, was the cousin of the mayor's junior in the next room, and for example, the thunderous year, month, and day when the earth was going to perish, etc., often made Ling Li and the two sisters laugh so much that they almost rolled on the floor.

Later, Ling Li lived in high school, but from time to time she would miss the news of Granny Yu who reported on time every day.

Ling Li was very curious, I don't know if Granny Yu's expertise can still be brought into play today, when the central government has repeatedly ordered that rumors are not believed or spread? Could it have been sued for defamation or had their meters checked for making inappropriate remarks?

But obviously she is too worried, Granny Yu is fine, and she is still active in the gossip market with her residual heat, but the field she is good at seems to have changed.

According to the address provided by the police station, they went to a relocation community on the outskirts of Nanxi where Granny Yu lived. This kind of housing project is usually not too high-quality, the community environment is not good, not too bad, there are parking lots, green belts and fitness facilities,

Ling Li and the others knocked on the door according to the address, but no one answered, and when they wandered around the community aimlessly to find someone to ask, Ling Li seemed to hear the familiar loud voice in his memory.

When she was found, Granny Yu was patting her thighs and discussing celebrity gossip with a group of fifty or sixty-year-old aunts, spitting all over the place.

"Hey, I said that Tang Chu is pretending, what a mother's treasure man, he is afraid of female celebrities tying up and hype, but now it's good, a girlfriend who has been dating for many years popped up all of a sudden, and said that he was going to get married soon, and everyone was deceived by him!"
