Chapter 124: Abnormal Herb Pickers Around
The affairs of the Fan family are under strong control, and no matter how turbulent their internal personnel are, it will not affect the process of the next police case. So the key factor is how the police find the bones.
It didn't take long for Officer Li and Officer Song to start a larger investigative search of the villagers near Meishan, and these investigations.
Officer Li believes that nothing will be found, and even the fragmented information provided by the villagers may play a very important role in solving the case. As for the interviews with these villagers, Officer Li went in person, leaving Officer Song here to take care of this side.
Soon, Officer Li and a few small policemen came to the nearby villagers, and their policemen acted separately and spread out in all directions.
After a few days, the petty cops did not bring the news that Officer Lee wanted. At this time, Officer Li saw a medicine picker in the mountain, who looked like he was in his old age.
However, the legs and feet can still go up and down the mountain, and the movements are flexible and free, and it seems that they should be active in the mountain all year round. He searched for herbs and developed a strong body, and Officer Li's first reaction when he saw the old man's face was to come up and ask him some questions.
But the old man didn't pay much attention to him, but only responded to his words perfunctorily.
Officer Li's observation and reflexes were extremely sharp, and he saw the old man's expression, and the old man's expression seemed to be deliberately dodging him.
He didn't ask the old man any more questions, but then he launched a full investigation of the old man. Later, I found out that the old man lived in the nearby villagers, and he had lived here for generations?
And Officer Li was thinking that if he could ask something from this old man, the older he was, the more things he would experience.
Officer Lee firmly believed that his thoughts would definitely come out of his mouth or something. In fact, what made Officer Li even more sure was that when he asked him a question that day, his expression had a kind of evasive look, which only stimulated Officer Li's curiosity.
Not long after, Officer Li came to the medicine picker's house alone with a notebook and a pen.
I saw that the house was surrounded by thatched huts made of bamboo. And sometimes if it rains heavily, it will wash away his house. But he didn't pay much attention to it, and after pasting it with dirt, he continued to live there.
Officer Li was thinking about such a house, and it would definitely be very dangerous for people to live in it again. Ask him why he didn't move out again, or why he was looking for another place to live.
Later, I learned that the old man had children, and the children had asked him to move out three times or twice, but the old man never agreed. As for why he disagrees with the specifics, I only heard from people outside that he seems to have feelings for this place.
It's not that Officer Li doesn't believe in feelings, they all have a kind of idea of relocating to a safe land, but in the face of such a dangerous thatched house, this old man should be able to make the right choice between danger and feelings.
The so-called affection is only a situation in which you can choose between the two situations that you can choose to ensure your own safety.
At this time, he no longer had basic life security. If he stays in the house again, his house will still collapse after a relatively heavy rain.
This point was also taken very seriously by Officer Li, and he further walked into the side of the medicine picker. What was he going to say to the old man?
But the herb picker still didn't pay much attention to him. I was weaving a bamboo basket by myself there. It looks like he's very skilled. At this time, Officer Li seemed to have suddenly found a topic.
"Old man, where in the mountains do you have this bead? Why haven't I seen it? After Officer Li finished speaking, he picked up a thin bamboo on the ground.
The herb picker was still carefully weaving his basket, and his left and right hands were churning. He didn't pay much attention to Officer Li's words. Later, he finally finished the work in his hand, and then said to Officer Li:
"I planted these beads in the mountains, and it took many years of growth to grow so tall. Then I split them with a knife. ”
Officer Li touched the material of the bamboo is indeed very good, and it is not easy to see this material of bamboo in the city.
Officer Lee finally remembered the purpose of his visit. He wanted to ask the man to see if he could get any information:
"You've been living in the mountains for so many years, have you noticed anything strange in the recent past?"
The old man suddenly stopped what he was doing, and after slowing down, he gradually looked at Officer Li:
"Strange things, what strange things can be? It's normal for wild monsters in the mountains to bark a lot. There are often some foxes and wolves in this mountain, but there are very few. And at night, the animals will almost come out, there will be more. You see I have that iron hoe on the wall, just to prevent nocturnal animals from coming here. ”
After saying that, Officer Li looked at the few tools erected next to his adobe walls. It seemed that the intensity of those attacks was average, and after some years, Officer Li didn't say anything, but said to himself:
"There are animal voices at night in this mountain."
Officer Li thought to himself and Officer Song that they had been here for so long, and they didn't hear any sound at night. Could it really be that this herb picker is old? Is your ear bad?
After thinking about this, he didn't say anything more, but got up and turned to the flower garden planted by the herb picker. In that flower bed are flowers mixed with Chinese herbs. It seems that these Chinese herbs should have been picked by the old man from the mountains and planted here for him.
Just as Officer Lee walked further. Suddenly, he was stopped by the medicine picker.
It turns out that some of the herbs in these flower beds are poisonous, and some are non-toxic, and the poisonous ones are planted on one side, and the non-toxic ones are planted on the other.
He asked Officer Li to be careful, although the flowers in it looked very bright, they might be more or less poisonous.
After that, Officer Li became more interested, and he walked further. Looking at the flower garden in front of him, he looked back at the medicine picker.
Officer Li was thinking that after so many years, what could be planted in these flower beds must be medicinal herbs that this person thinks are useful and practical.
The most important thing is that the medicinal herbs that are relatively easy to feed will be planted here, and maybe the medicinal herbs in them are also rare and precious.
