Chapter 246: The Case That Happened That Year (M)
The first plum blossoms with a light pink color were very beautiful, and Medusa suddenly remembered the story that had stayed in her memory a long time ago.
The story about her grandfather and grandmother, the pot of good wine made by Medusa's grandmother is the best plum blossom wine.
The plum blossoms in front of Medusa do not have a trace of earthly pollution, and they are the most suitable for making intoxicating plum blossoms.
"Could it be that this is where grandpa and grandma once lived?"
From old books to strange text messages, what Medusa can think of is, of course, the relationship between this place and her home.
And this unknown relationship, after Medusa saw the scattered plum trees in the deserted village, she further reminded her of her own background.
If this was where her great-grandfather and grandmother had lived, then everything Medusa saw would have been easy to explain.
Thinking of this, Medusa did not ignore one thing, her grandmother and her grandmother's daughter had met with an accident where they lived, and then her grandmother died, and her and her grandfather's daughter were also missing.
If this is really the place where Grandpa Medusa once lived, then this is actually a sad place for the Mei family.
But it's been too long, Medusa hasn't experienced those sorrows, and it seems to her that this ghost village is a nice place.
If she had to choose, she would still be happy to stay and live here, why did this become a deserted village?
Thinking of the mess, Medusa went deeper and deeper into the deserted village, where there was nothing in the bricks or grass huts scattered in front of her, except for the birds that flew and rested in front of her.
Soon Medusa passed through six or seven of the more dilapidated houses, and further on, the houses were not so close, and Medusa had to walk some way to see the broken beams and broken tiles hidden in the grass and trees.
"It doesn't look like anyone can live there!"
Medusa wasn't exaggerating, judging by the houses she walked past, those houses really couldn't be inhabited.
And Medusa's father hasn't been seen for a while, and he can't live here completely alone.
Unless someone comes to deliver supplies on a daily basis, but with Medusha's understanding of her father, he has no friends at all in Meichuan, and the only Aunt Yin who may send supplies for him has also had an accident.
Except for Medusa in this world now, probably no one will care about his current situation, except for Uncle Qiao, who is concerned about the progress of the case.
As she had always walked alone in a deserted place, Medusa felt a little scary as she walked, and she would stop from time to time to glance behind her, and also look around.
Medusa couldn't figure out how the other two people who got off the bus could have chosen to get off at the last stop of the bus, could they be travelers who like to explore in the wild?
But why didn't Medusa see them again?
Medusa forced herself to stop thinking about these things, the most important thing for her now was to check out all the houses here as soon as possible, and if there was no sign of her father here, she had better leave as soon as possible!
Medusa walked further past several empty courtyards, where there was no sign of anyone.
In the end, all she saw was a house about five hundred meters away, and it was not as bad as the desolation she had encountered, at least from where Medusa was standing, it was still vaguely inhabitable.
This gave Medusa hope, and she immediately ran quickly towards the house near the foot of the hill.
As she got closer, Medusa confirmed her judgment even more, and the house in front of her knew at a glance that it had been repaired, and it was obvious that it had been inhabited.
This made Medusa wonder, who would live in such a place, could it be a ghost?
No matter what she thought, Medusa had to take a look first before thinking about other things, but before Medusa could lift her feet and walk forward, someone suddenly stopped her behind her.
That voice is familiar with Medusa, it is Uncle Qiao's voice, that's right, it's Uncle Qiao's voice!
It turned out that the people who followed Medusa to the terminal and got off first turned out to be the people sent by Uncle Qiao to spy on Medusa!
After they got off the bus first, they immediately sent a message to Uncle Qiao, who was following the bus, and then the two walked back, waiting for a meeting with Uncle Qiao somewhere.
When Medusa arrived here, Uncle Qiao suddenly had a judgment on where she could go, so after the group arrived near the bus, they first went to interrogate another person on the bus.
But when they couldn't tell the truth from all the information about the man, they asked the bus driver to carry the man and leave first.
The bus driver didn't know what was going on, and he kindly told Uncle Qiao that a little girl had gone to the hill in front of him, and Uncle Qiao said that they would go to the girl and tell the driver to leave quickly, and then the road was blocked by Uncle Qiao and them.
Soon Uncle Qiao took Xiao Liu and a few other people towards the hill where Medusa had walked, their footsteps were faster than Medusa, and it didn't take long for them to see Medusa standing on the top of the mountain.
Uncle Qiao is a veteran after all, and the people who follow him often deal with criminal suspects, and they easily dodged Medusa's lookout, and followed Medusa all the way to the bottom of the valley.
Medusa's attention was all on the ruined houses around her, and although she had looked back behind her, the grass in the valley was so dense that it was easy to hide from a few people.
In this way, Mei Dusha didn't notice Uncle Qiao and Xiao Liu who were following her.
It wasn't until that moment just now that Medusa found out that she was actually being followed, and the person who followed her would actually be Uncle Qiao.
This reminded Medusa of the situation when she met Uncle Qiao in Old Man Sha's studio not long ago, and it turned out that he had been suspicious of Medusa since that time.
Joe ...... Uncle Qiao? How did you end up here? ”
Seeing Uncle Qiao who appeared behind her, Medusa was very nervous, but in the current situation, Medusa had to stabilize her emotions, and she couldn't expose her cowardice in advance.
"What about you? How did a man come to such a desolate place? ”
Uncle Qiao and Xiao Liu had already walked quickly to Medusha's side, and the people who were following Uncle Qiao and Xiao Liu just now had already scattered and moved towards the house in front of Medusa.
Uncle Qiao's question did not carry any emotion, as if Uncle Qiao did it on purpose, but Medusa felt that there was an invisible pressure surrounding her.
Fortunately, she suddenly remembered the old book in her backpack, and she quickly took it out.
"I'm curious about why there is this address in our family heirloom, so I wanted to check it out! Uncle Qiao, what about you? Why are those people so nervous? ”
Medusa took out the old book in her backpack and flipped to the last page and handed it to Uncle Qiao beside her, but her eyes drifted to the people around her who were heading towards the house in front of her.
Uncle Qiao reached out and took the old book from Medusa's hand, and he quickly read out a line on it, including the words that Medusa didn't understand.
However, Uncle Qiao's focus finally fell on the address above.
"Really, it seems that you really didn't come here for nothing, did you? But why are you curious at this time? Du Sha, are you lying to me, since we met that day, no, maybe earlier, what are you hiding, is there your dad hidden in this house in front of you? ”
"Uncle Qiao, what are you talking about, I don't understand!"
Uncle Qiao shook his head, Medusa pretended to calmly withdraw his old booklet from Uncle Qiao's hand, and Xiao Liu on the side showed an expression on his face asking Medusa not to do this again.
But it is absolutely impossible for Medusa to admit that she did lie and hide something, it is absolutely impossible!
"We've been spying on you since the day you left the police station, but we're definitely not violating your privacy, and we're not watching you when you're in Old Man Sha's studio! Looking at the surveillance these days, I know you must be hiding something! Dousha, we are the police, you can ask for our help, if your father really committed a crime, you are covering up his whereabouts, do you understand? ”
Of course, Medusa understood that she was not stupid, that she knew the classification of criminals under modern law, and that she had come here expecting to see her father, but now that she was looking at the situation, she felt that her father would definitely not be here.
Medusa tried to stabilize herself again, she looked into Uncle Qiao's eyes, and said to Uncle Qiao in the tone she should have: "Uncle Qiao, what I said is the truth, I really don't know where my father is, I really came here just because of our family's old booklets!" ”
Uncle Qiao didn't immediately deny Medusa's statement, he pointed to the phone that Medusa was carrying in his pocket.
"Then you take out your phone and let me take a look?"
Medusha's heart chuckled, but in front of Uncle Qiao and Xiao Liu, she couldn't refuse directly, and finally she obediently handed her mobile phone to Uncle Qiao.
Uncle Qiao asked Medusa to turn on the phone first, and then he went straight to the text message and WeChat, but after turning around, he didn't find the information he was looking for on it.
In the end, Uncle Qiao handed the phone to Medusa again, and there was no trace of surprise on Medusa's face, because she knew that Uncle Qiao couldn't see the text message.
While on the bus, Medusa deleted the text message for unknown reasons.
Uncle Qiao didn't see the information he was looking for, and the people who had rushed into the house in front of them also came out one after another, one of them walked to Uncle Qiao's side and said a few words to Uncle Qiao, and Medusa, who was standing on the side, vaguely heard those words, and there was no target in them.
Medusha's heart didn't know why it sank to its lowest, and she didn't know if she was happy or sad at this moment.
"I didn't find your dad inside, do you still want to go in and have a look?"
Uncle Qiao waved his hand to let the group of people just now retreat behind him, and he opened his mouth and said to Medusa, of course Medusa has to go in and take a look by herself, she didn't respond at all, Uncle Qiao walked towards the house in front of him first.
The Medusa who walked into the house didn't see anything like those people, on the one hand, because the house only had one floor, although there were several rooms connected to it, and it looked quite clean.
But there was no sign of anyone coming inside, and Medusa was a little unrelenting, she looked around each room carefully, and when she finally returned to the place, Medusa had to admit that her father had never been here.
And what's going on with that text message? Who would be so bored to send her a text message like that?
Is it just for Medusa to come here and have a look, or is it for the sake of the people behind Medusa?
Medusa suddenly glanced at Uncle Qiao, could it be that the text message was sent by the outlaw boss Kiyono, what was he going to do next, the reason why he was in the name of Medusa Daddy was actually to lure Uncle Qiao away? So what is the purpose?
These shouldn't be the things that Medusa thinks, but Medusa vaguely feels that something is wrong, this place must have something to do with something, and she won't be called here for no reason, but what is it for?
"Medusa, we're leaving, that bus is already back, let's send you back!"
Xiao Liu suddenly stood at the door and shouted at Medusa, and as soon as Medusa heard that the bus was leaving, she immediately ran towards Xiao Liu.
"Really, isn't it time for the last train yet?"
"Uncle Qiao asked us to block the nearby road, you can only follow us back, Uncle Qiao has already left first, come on!"
In desperation, Medusa had to follow Xiao Liu out of where she was standing now.
As she walked to the top of the mountain, Medusa looked back at the beautiful valley in front of her one last time.
Is this really not related to their family?
Medusa really didn't think it would be nice if her grandparents were here, they would be able to tell Medusa if this was where her great-grandparents used to live.
