The jeep slowly stopped, Yuan Qi walked out of the car, stood on the side of the car, and looked at Zhao Deqing in the jeep. Zhao Deqing poked his head out of the car window and said, "Master, I'll go first." ”

Yuan Qi, who was standing next to the jeep, just nodded and said, "You go, don't forget, we will meet at the Hongyun Hotel." ”

"Got it," Yuan Qi stood still, looking at the jeep. Zhao Deqing drove away in a jeep and disappeared around the bend of the road. Yuan Qi walked like a dense bamboo forest. Zhao Deqing drove a jeep into the courtyard of a farmer and slowly stopped in the courtyard. A middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen with a child, standing at the door stupidly looking at the uninvited guest who entered her yard, with a warm smile on her face from time to time, and a little curious, but I didn't know who the visitor was? The child next to him looked at the middle-aged woman standing in front of him and said, "Mom, who is she?" ”

Looking at the middle-aged woman's facial expression, her eyes were a little wooden, and she said with dull eyes: "You don't understand the affairs of adults, go out and play." ”

"Oh, go out and play," the child ran happily.

Zhao Deqing slowly walked out of the jeep, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the little head of the child who was about to run out, stepped forward to look at the middle-aged woman, and said, "I don't know what this eldest sister is called?" ”

"My surname is Wang," the middle-aged woman still stood in place, and smiled very enthusiastically: "Are you looking for that?" ”

"Sister Wang, hello, my surname is Zhao, you can call me Xiao Zhao," then took out his ID and said, "I'm a policeman." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be a policeman," and then walked into the main hall, took out a chair and went to the courtyard, and said, "Xiao Zhao, come here and please take a seat." ”

"Thank you, Sister Wang," Zhao Deqing stepped forward and sat on the chair. Sister Wang turned around and ran towards the kitchen, Zhao Deqing turned around and stopped Sister Wang, and said, "Sister Wang, what are you doing here?" ”

"You see it's almost noon, I'll make you some afternoon tea."

Zhao Deqing smiled and said, "Sister Wang, no need, I'll just ask a few things and leave." ”

"Look, it's almost noon, what will you ask after lunch."

"No, I still have some things, so don't be busy with Sister Wang."

Sister Wang walked over, stood aside, and said, "If you ask, I will try my best to cooperate with you." ”

"Please call all your neighbors."

"Okay," Sister Wang paused for a moment and walked towards the family next to her, and in a short time, Sister Wang called four or five women her age. Sister Wang stood in the middle of them and faced these people, and said, "This is a policeman, asking us something. When these women heard Sister Wang's words, they were very surprised and asked, "Is there anyone in our village who has committed any crime?" At this time, Sister Wang calmed down a lot and said, "First of all, I have to listen to what he asks, I don't know." After that, Sister Wang walked into the main hall and took out a few chairs, and said, "You guys sit down." Four or five people sat on either side, and one of them said, "Is there someone in our village who has committed some crime?" ”

"This eldest sister, no one in the village has committed a crime, so there is no need to worry about this matter," Zhao Deqing sat in the middle of them, looked at Sister Wang who was standing next to him, and said, "Sister Wang, you can also sit down." ”

"No need, I'm used to standing like this."

"Eldest sister, you're welcome, the police and the people are a family." After hearing this, several women next to him nodded and said, "You can talk a lot." Then he faced Sister Wang, who was standing next to her, and said, "Wang Chunhua, the police have spoken, you can sit down." ”

"Okay then," Sister Wang moved a stool and sat beside them, "just ask, we will cooperate with you." ”

"Please wait a minute." Zhao Deqing stood up and walked towards the car parked in the courtyard, took out a notebook and a pen from the car, stepped forward and sat down to open the notebook, and said, "You can tell me about Zhao Xichuan's past affairs, including his behavior and conversation." ”

"Did Zhao Xichuan commit the crime?"

"It's just that he has an indirect relationship with another case, and there is no direct relationship."

"Oh, let me tell you, this child has not been treated very well since he was a child, and he often destroys it, my family's Lingling is bullied by him from time to time, and he often brings some indiscriminate people to surround the school gate to collect protection money," an eldest sister next to him said, "I heard that he also joined the underworld." ”

"Yes, he's also in the underworld," another woman said, "and he's also used drugs." ”

Zhao Deqing raised his head and said, "You can tell me in detail about his drug use." ”

"It's all heard." Another woman said: "Didn't I hear about it, I also saw it with my own eyes, I saw Cui Fen take him to a drug rehabilitation center for drug rehabilitation, didn't he go to Yunnan to work before?" Yang Yang of my family went to Yunnan with him, and when he came back from the Chinese New Year, he heard Yang Yang say that he was taking drugs and was addicted to drugs. Cui Fen is bitter, in order to help him get rid of drugs, she sold the house she just bought in the city, and begged people everywhere, some of her relatives ignored it, and it was still the money that one of our villages helped her make. ”

"Oh, yes, it's the money we helped her make, and besides, this child is quite pitiful, and he has a lot of rules when he grows up, and he is very enthusiastic about us, but what I didn't expect was that he died of illness, you say this is not strange."

"What disease does he have?"

"We don't know about this?"

"Thank you for being so honest, thank you," and closed the notebook in his hand.

Yuan Qi walked through the muddy path and stood on top of the mountain, where the green trees were lush and the cypress trees next to the road stood straight along the mountain road. Yuan Qiyan walked down this mountain road, and there was a very simple adobe house in front of him. After Yuan Qi walked into the courtyard, he looked around, and the peach trees in the courtyard were not as lush as before, but a little desolate, and there were few green buds when the single branch stretched out. An older woman walked out and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Hello, I'm a friend of Zhao Xichuan in Chengdu," Yuan Qi said, turning to face the older woman.

"It's a friend of Kikawa," a woman came out of the house and said, "Sister, who is he?" ”

"It's a friend of Kikawa," the woman then stepped forward and asked, "What's your name?" ”

"Yuan Qi."

"Yuan Qi, come in and sit," Yuan Qi walked into the room and sat down, the woman held a plate of melon seeds, and said, "Yuan Qi, eat melon seeds." ”

"Thank you."

"Why haven't I heard Xichuan mention you, and I haven't seen you?"

"Does Yoshikawa often bring his friends home?" Yuan Qi raised his head and asked.

"yes, sun."

"I'm a colleague of Zhao Xichuan in Chengdu, Xichuan didn't say goodbye, so I came to see, we usually don't talk about everything, why don't you even tell me when you leave? So I'm here to visit," Yuan Qi looked around, was silent for a long time, and said, "Why don't you see Xichuan?" ”

When the older woman heard this, she sat down and wept bitterly, while the younger woman sat beside her and comforted: "Sister, people can't be resurrected after death, so mourn." ”

"What's wrong with Himagawa?" Yuan Qi asked in surprise when he heard this.

"Himikawa, he died."

"When did this happen?"

"Probably on August 14th, he came back from Chengdu, that night he said that he was uncomfortable, fell asleep on the bed, we didn't pay attention, until the next day the sun did not see him get up, so he walked into the bedroom to see, found that he was lying motionless on the bed, no matter how to push there was no movement, the breathing sound was also very weak, even unable to speak, we were also in a hurry, called the emergency center, and died on the first night of being sent to the hospital, that is, on the day of August 15."

"Which hospital is it?"

"Chengzhong People's Hospital, I'll take you to see him."

"Okay," the young woman took Yuan Qi to Zhao Xichuan's grave. The young woman stood in front of Zhao Xichuan's grave and said, "Xichuan, Yuan Qi has come to see you." ”

Yuan Qi stepped forward to face Zhao Xichuan's grave, arched his hands in front of him, bowed and saluted, and then turned to face the young woman and said, "Sister, I have left beforehand." ”

"What's so anxious, it's not too late to stay and leave tomorrow."

"I have a friend over there, so it's not convenient to stay long."

"Call that friend of yours and ask him to come over and have lunch with him, and it's never too late to leave."

"I'm here to visit my friend, it's not appropriate for him to come, and he and Zhao Xichuan are not so familiar."

"Okay, I often come over to play when I'm fine, I'm over there in Pixian County, Chengdu."

"I'm going to come to visit when there's time," Yuan Qi turned around and took a few steps back, saluted and turned to leave, the young woman stood still looking at Yuan Qi's departing back, and then went down the mountain. Yuan Qi slowly crossed the mountain, stood in a bamboo forest, opened his arms and closed his eyes, looked up at it and took a deep breath, the air here is the freshest, maybe at this time he is thinking, Zhao Xichuan's death is really a mystery, only tomorrow after going to the People's Hospital can this mystery be solved. Suddenly opened his eyes and walked out of this bamboo forest. Just as a black jeep passed from behind him and stopped in front of him. Zhao Deqing poked his head out and said, "Master, get in the car." Then he pushed the door open.

After Yuan Qi got into the car, he looked at Zhao Deqing next to him and said, "Deqing, how is the investigation about Zhao Xichuan?" ”

"Everything is clear, Master, what about you?"

"I'm also clear here, let's go back to the Hongyun Hotel first."

"Okay," Zhao Deqing started the car and walked through the village into the town. The town is not as lively today as it was this morning, it is much deserted as dusk draws away, and there are far fewer people loitering in the streets. Yuan Qi and they walked all the way, drove into the Hongyun Hotel, stopped and walked out. Yuan Qi and Zhao Deqing walked into the hall, stood in front of the counter, and asked, "Hello, is there still a room?" ”
