Chapter 8: Because It's a Man
The officer led a dozen soldiers to chase them to the lake along the road that Dai Zi and the three men had walked before, but no one was found. But! Only to find fresh footprints and wolf droppings. They searched around and returned without finding any other clues.
"People didn't go! Should go back! The officer carefully analyzed it and felt that it was possible that he had rescued the man from the lake and then returned.
So! Hurry back and ask Zhuangzi and Song Rongzi.
"Uncle!" The officer was polite, arched his hand towards Zhuangzi, and asked, "You said that a middle-aged man and a teenager lived here and heard the cry of a baby by the lake, right?" ”
"Yes!" Zhuangzi nodded innocently.
"What about them?"
"Did they go to the lake to see how it was going?" Zhuangzi said.
"But there's no one by the lake?"
"You're looking around the lake? Are they hiding somewhere? Isn't it? What did you find? Zhuangzi reminded.
In fact, it is not a reminder, but a distraction and change of the other person's attention, disrupting your thinking pattern and thinking direction. Plainly! It's just a fork! And they will fool you!
"They? You just said! That middle-aged man is the father of a teenager? The officer took out the identity document from his bosom and handed it to Zhuangzi.
Zhuangzi took it and looked at it seriously, and then handed it to Song Rongzi for Song Rongzi to see.
While saying to the officer, "The boy looks very similar to this man, so I suspect that they are father and son!" ”
"That? And what about the other middle-aged man? The officer believed what Zhuangzi said and asked eagerly.
He was very suspicious: Peng Zhou's punished father might be hiding here during the day. Other than that! And the teenager who lied about drowning should also hide here.
"The boy called him uncle! It should be the boy's uncle! The two also look somewhat similar! Isn't it normal for a nephew to look a little like an uncle? Zhuangzi said quietly.
"It should be my uncle!" Song Rongzi responded to the road on the side.
"How can they live here?" The officer asked, pretending to be puzzled.
"Hehehe!" Song Rongzi smiled: "Isn't that the case? They don't want to do military service, so they hide in this uninhabited place! Isn't it? If you don't search it, will you find it? Isn't it? Look at the chimney on the stove, don't you? It's covered with such thick reeds? Isn't it? Cooking smoke can't float up to the sky, and people from the outside world can't see it! ”
The officer looked over to the stove on the side, and it was really like that!
