Hinami Village.

Gao Cheng's figure stopped in front of the village chief's mansion.

He had already run around, and no matter whether it was the village chief or ordinary villagers, everyone denied the existence of the person in charge of the department store, and they didn't even admit that they had ever seen the female tenant of the hotel's crane room.

The innkeeper also insisted that the female tenant had left the room early and that her identity was unknown.

However, after all aspects of exchanges and contact, it seems that because the time is too short, not all the villagers have a unified voice, and only the village cadres and a group of people who promote the special wine project are completely consistent.

Apparently the same people who were in charge of the reception yesterday.

Last night, the village chief's house definitely had a banquet to entertain the "person in charge".

The basis is the smell of alcohol on the woman's body when she returns to the hotel from outside at about 8 o'clock in the evening, and there is also the light of the village chief's house late at night, and he watched TV after returning to his room from the bar last night, until the wine rises and goes to bed, about 10 o'clock, the village chief's house is lit.

It stands to reason that the banquet will not last that long, after all, the protagonists of the banquet have already left.

If you think about it this way, it may be the second meeting, and the woman goes to the village chief's house again for some reason.

Gao Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and returned to the hotel under the vague attention of the villagers.

If he was right, the woman had not simply disappeared and had probably been killed.

If the motive is concerned, maybe the woman pretended to be the person in charge of the department store and caused something......

The village is not too big, but it is not easy to find the whereabouts of the woman, especially when the whole village is inmated.

Gao Cheng stood on the balcony and looked.

Ordinary villagers should not be able to hide the corpse, and the village chief's house is more suspicious, but these people will definitely not let the corpse stay there.

The best place to dispose of corpses......

The pond in front of the village catches Gao Cheng's eye.

After all, it was just a rural village, and the easiest way to dispose of the corpse was, of course, to sink it into a pond.

If he hadn't been here, there wouldn't have been any problems at all, and even if the police tracked him down, they wouldn't have thought too much.

After all, all traces of the existence of the murdered woman have been erased.

……

"What? Nagano Prefectural Police? ”

"yes, it's on the other side of the pond now!"

At the village office, several cadres ran out of the village in a panic, and when they saw several police cars by the pond, their minds went blank.

Some police have noticed the abnormality and quickly recovered the body wrapped in a black plastic bag and brought it ashore.

"Come up!"

"It's a woman!"

The old cadres who were watching from the shore trembled in their hands and feet, and their whole body seemed to have been drained of their strength, and their faces turned pale.

I don't know what's going on at all, but I heard the innkeeper say that the detective was about to go back to Tokyo, and at this time, the police came to recover the body.

Why?

Why are the police coming?

Why did it know that the body was in the pond?

Wrong...... Who the hell called the police?!

At the village chief's house, Gao Cheng once again found the old man.

The old man who is respected by the villagers does have a unique leadership charm, and Rao is face still can't see much change at this time, just his eyes are closed, and his eyebrows look very tired.

"When I heard that there was a famous detective, I felt that I might not be able to hide it," the old man said flatly, "I know you, a ghost detective who solves the case 100%, but I didn't expect it to end so soon...... What went wrong? ”

"All the villagers, including the village cadres, are very nervous, and they want to protect something from the bottom of their hearts," Gao Cheng sat under the eaves with the old man, "The only person in this village who deserves to be treated like this by the villagers is you, the old man, right?" ”

"That's right."

The old man sighed, took the wine bottle and two wine glasses, and poured the wine.

"In the end, I caused trouble for everyone, killed someone, and was originally going to end it by myself with a rope...... Have a drink, the wine made in the village, this is ten years old. ”

"I don't drink." Gao Cheng didn't take the glass.

"Oh, I almost forgot your age."

The old man suddenly didn't force it anymore, and drank alone and looked at the familiar village in front of him.

"It was my idea to cooperate with a department store in Tokyo, and everyone pooled their money and invested 15 million yuan...... If I can't get the money back, I don't have to worry about it, but the village can't bear the charge of bribery, so I drew my sword, and I killed the person. ”

Gao Cheng glanced at the old man who confessed his guilt: "Tokyo's money to private companies is not considered bribery, there is no bribery, you can sue the other party, and there is a great chance of getting the money back." ”

The old man's face was stunned, and after a while, he shook his head as if he were a few years old.

"Forget it, this is fate, right? That woman is right, 15 million is useless, you can't sign a contract at all, and it is impossible for the department store to cooperate with us......"

"It's too early to say this, I'm afraid that there will be no sales for such a good wine?"

Gao Cheng knew it was a good wine just by smelling the fragrance, and he also tasted the sweet wine in the village yesterday, so there was no problem signing a contract with a department store.

"There is a saying that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

"If only I had met you earlier."

The old man was stunned.

The words of the villagers...... Will they also be guilty? ”

"There should be," Gao Cheng met the old man's concerned gaze, "There is still a ...... to deal with the corpse and conceal it"

"No, they want to help me too...... Can you save them? The people in the village can't have anything to do, in exchange, I will turn myself in and confess, please! The old man asked anxiously.

"I just notified the police to go to the pond to recover the body," Gao Cheng said when he saw a Nagano prefectural police officer approaching him, "If the people in the village can use this solidarity to help you in the right place, the village will be able to recover sooner or later." ”

It is not surprising that such a small mountain village would decline under the bloodsucking of Tokyo, and there are almost no young people to be seen, but it does not mean that the village is hopeless.

"Really?"

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile on his old face, and watched Gao Cheng go to meet the police.

"I hope there will be a day when the village will get better."

"Mr. Guan!" The old brewer hurriedly ran over and choked up excitedly, "News from Tokyo that the contract has been established!" ”

"What?"

"It's said that a big man specifically asked our Hina Noyu, and we succeeded!"

The old man was not too excited, and nodded to the winemaker in silent thought: "It's hard work, go tell everyone." ”

It's ironic, you should have believed in the sake you brewed.

At noon, the Hinami Village incident ended when the village chief left the village in a police car, and Takasei resumed his return journey and drove back to Tokyo.

According to the police investigation, the scene of the crime was indeed the village chief's house, and the murder weapon was an enshrined Japanese sword.

The time is almost after he returns to his room from the bar, Kaoru Kusakabe, who was found to be a fake identity, receives a phone call and goes to the village chief's house for the second time, and the light he sees is also the light of the last moments of Kusakabe's life.

Open the system light curtain, and a new card has been drawn after the settlement is successful.

It is a "sake brewing" card.
