Chapter 9: Emotions are out of control
Ear? I can't help but think of the noodle shop owner at noon today, who only has one ear.
There was a burning sensation from the tattoo on his back, and at this time, the door was suddenly pushed open, and it turned out to be Brother Tiger in a hurry.
Seeing that I was fine, Brother Hu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This hook Chen Xuanyu has reacted, fortunately, nothing happened to you." ”
I recounted what the woman in red said in her dream, and to be honest, I'm not sure if it was a dream or not.
After listening to this, Brother Tiger held his cheeks and thought, "Ears? By saying this, she's reminding you of something. ”
"But what does it have to do with the noodle shop owner?"
In the narrative of Zheng Shaoran and the village chief, the role of the noodle shop owner has never appeared from beginning to end, or is he not the noodle shop owner back then?
In any case, the owner of this noodle shop always has something to do with the woman in red.
When I was awakened by this, I fell asleep, and in two or three hours it was dawn, so I simply sat on the bed and thought quietly.
What role did the noodle shop owner play in this incident? And where is Xiaoli's stepfather now?
With these doubts in mind, I asked the village chief the next day.
"Well, it's appropriate to spend the night at my place, right?" Although the village chief was shaking and smiling at the sight of me, I could see small bloodshot streaks in his pupils, and it was clear that he had not slept well last night.
"Yes." I smiled and didn't tell him about the woman in red.
"But the village chief, I want to ask Xiaoli's stepfather if he is still in the closed door village?"
Hearing my words, the village chief's face stiffened slightly, and his tone was a little stiff and unnatural: "Well, I don't know where Wu Quanqing went after that incident, anyway, he has already left Fengmen Village." ”
"Thank you!"
"Young man, why did you suddenly ask about Xiaoli?" The village chief's seemingly casual questioning made me even more convinced that there was definitely something wrong with them.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm a writer, and I came to Fengnan Village to learn about these things to find material and write a story." I panicked.
The village chief suddenly realized: "Oh, so you are still a writer!" But if it's written as a novel, it shouldn't mention real celebrity names, right? ”
"Don't worry, village chief, I attach great importance to privacy, and the names of famous people will be fictitious." I smiled and made a promise to the village chief.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to your novel."
"Don't worry, the village chief will definitely send you a set when the novel is published."
Originally, the village chief wanted to invite me to have lunch with Brother Hu before leaving, but now that the investigation is important, I shirked with Brother Hu and left here.
Remembering what the female ghost in red said, Brother Tiger and I decided to go to that noodle restaurant again.
When the two of us came to the noodle shop again, the one-eared boss gave us a little more look.
I noticed that the man had a scruffy beard, sunken eyes, and couldn't tell if he was tired or what in his eyes, and he always didn't look good.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Brother Hu and I ordered two ordinary fried noodles exactly like yesterday.
"Brother Tiger, you said that Xiaobao is not wronged, he is working hard, who knew that there was such an accident and he fell from the fourth floor." I made eye contact with Brother Tiger, and he understood what I meant.
"Yes, I heard that people are very miserable, I'm afraid I will have to lie in bed for the rest of my life, I don't know how much the construction site has lost." Brother Tiger was full of embarrassment, and deliberately raised his voice a few points.
Out of the corner of my eye, I glanced at the boss behind the counter, and he didn't seem to react.
I continued: "At least on the best side, Xiaobao at least saved his life, and the so-called catastrophe must have a blessing after not dying." ”
"yes, yes, let's go see him the next day."
"By the way, boss, what's the matter with your ear?" When I glanced at the one-eared boss again and saw that he was focused on the two of us, I pretended to ask him nonchalantly.
The boss glanced at us coldly, pulled away the big smoke throat, and said in a low and unusually low voice: "Check out when you're done." ”
I was not surprised to see that the boss didn't eat this set, so I smiled and said, "I'm sorry boss, I was quick to talk just now, don't take it to heart." ”
The boss will retract his cold eyes and stop looking at us.
One set didn't work, I wasn't discouraged, and sucked noodles on my mouth: "This Nancun, you said that it has been so many years, why haven't you developed it?" ”
Brother Hu took my words and said seriously: "This matter is complicated. ”
"Tell me about it?"
Brother Hu looked mysterious: "I heard that back then, this Nancun was sealed, but because of the demolition, people died!" ”
I was shocked, and I performed extremely seriously with my clumsy acting skills: "Dead people? What's going on? ”
Brother Tiger glanced around, then gestured to me, motioning for me to come closer.
I approached as he prompted, and he kept whispering in my ear, not actually saying anything.
Both of us focused on the one-eared boss.
This time, the boss took the bait.
He looked at the two of us, saw the two of us whispering, couldn't sit still any longer, got up and walked over to us.
"Where did you know about Fengnan Village?" I could tell that the boss, despite his flat tone, was rolling in his Adam's apple and his eyes flashing, deliberately suppressing some emotion.
The fish bites, and Brother Tiger and I both know that now is not the time to exert force.
Brother Hu replied leisurely: "I also learned about this matter from a friend. ”
"What did your friend say?" I noticed that the boss's tone, despite his best efforts to restrain himself, was still a slight tremor.
This person is set to be related to the woman in red! It's not the murderer sent by the big young man of Nahongda Real Estate.
It was he who killed Xiaoli, and then disguised everything as Xiaoli to commit suicide! Of course, these are all deduced from what I have seen so far, and I have not found any actual evidence.
Brother Tiger squinted and said, "Well...... There is nothing to hide, it was the head of Fengnan Village who told my friend, it is said that the incident back then was not as simple as it seemed. ”
"At least, it's definitely not suicide."
Brother Tiger's words were like a depth charge, the boss's face was shocked, his pupils shrank sharply, and he suddenly grabbed Brother Tiger's shoulder and blurted out: "How could he say this to you!" ”
As soon as he blurted out this sentence, the one-eared boss realized that he was a little overemotional, and hurriedly let go of Brother Tiger.
I noticed that the one-eared boss was very angry at this time, as if Brother Tiger's words touched something deep in his heart.
Now I am even more convinced in my heart that this one-eared boss has absolutely nothing to do with Xiaoli's death!
Brother Tiger and I settled the remaining noodles in the bowl after two or three times, paid the money and left the noodle shop.
When the payment was made, the boss kept looking at the two of us, as if he was angry, seemed to be confused, in short, indescribable emotions.
