Chapter 153: At the Celebration Banquet

Soon the celebration of the Fan family began, and Officer Zhang and a few of them also came here.

Officer Zhang, they were opposed by many people in the clan this time, after all, it was the first time that someone from outside appeared at the festival in their clan.

Fanli respected these policemen very much, arranged a banquet for them, and found someone to toast, but these policemen could not drink, so they politely refused. After being busy for a while, he hurried over and sat next to Officer Zhang.

He asked Officer Zhang why he had only come here at this time, and the two previous officers had already arrived.

Of course, Officer Zhang politely replied that he had only recently been transferred, and that the case here might need more people to help, and he also wanted to speed up the process of this case. At this time, both people are interested in getting closer to each other, because they both have their own goals.

And then after Fanli finished drinking, he said that he would go over there to deal with some things first, let Officer Zhang sit here first, and then Fanli left quickly.

Officer Zhang only saw him and a housekeeper bowing their heads and talking something, and looked in his direction from time to time. Then Officer Zhang was there thinking about eating alone.

And it didn't take long for a girl to come here, this girl was the granddaughter of an elder in the Fan family, she sat quietly next to Officer Zhang, and then turned to Officer Zhang and asked him what he wanted to drink.

The girl with the ponytail suddenly laughed when she looked at Officer Zhang's indifferent attitude. She said that Officer Zhang was lucky to be able to catch the five-year-old Fan Family Festival, during which everyone in the Fan family would receive certain favors and ceremonies.

Officer Zhang didn't care about what the girl said, but the next thing the girl said surprised him a little, she said that it was a holiday that started 40 years ago.

And at that time, it was determined by the previous generation of rulers, that is, the father of the current rulers.

And since he made it, the clan has been following this rule, and a festival is held every five years, and the person in charge of the house who arrives at home personally leads several elders of the clan to the sacrificial platform on the mountain to hold a big pilgrimage in front of him.

This custom has been delayed for 40 years, and no one knows why. The girl was talking to Officer Zhang absently while holding the wine in her hand, and she seemed to have a very cheerful personality.

She said that the police were just too restrained to come here and not be able to drink freely, and besides, these are rice wines, so it's okay to drink a little.

As he spoke, he handed Officer Zhang a small cup, and the girl poured a little rice wine for Officer Zhang, Officer Zhang looked at the glass of rice wine in front of him, and then looked at the table as guests, thinking that it would be a bit rude if he didn't drink it.

Officer Zhang made an exception and drank a little, but as soon as he drank it, there was a hot feeling in his throat, and Officer Zhang was choked all of a sudden. The girl held a wine glass, sipping and laughing, saying that Officer Zhang was too unscrupulous, and she was choked on this little wine.

Of course, Officer Zhang also responded embarrassedly that it was indeed his own alcohol consumption, and he kept saying: Sorry, sorry.

After that, the girl didn't embarrass him, but just said it, and if she couldn't drink it, don't drink it.

Officer Zhang didn't even have the heart to eat at this time, because he had been thinking about the relationship between his case and the Fan family, whether those white bones were really related to the Fan family?

While drinking hot water, Officer Zhang cautiously looked around, he saw the elders of the highest position in the clan sitting at a table, and when he saw these elders, Officer Zhang seemed to have a little joy in his heart.

Since they are clan elders, they must know some of the things about the big war back then, and maybe they can really get something out of their mouths.

But Officer Zhang sat there and thought about it later, these elders of the Fan family must not be vegetarians, and he needed to think of a way to deal with these old guys.

Officer Zhang wanted to let those old guys tell him about the big war back then, and let them help him solve the case in front of him.

The idea does seem a bit incredible, and it's also very difficult. Of course, this is the best strategy at hand, but it requires a lot of effort from him, Officer Song, and Officer Li.

Officer Zhang finally found Officer Song and Officer Li and told them what he thought, he first asked Officer Song and Officer Li to go and talk to the elders first, and then let them go over with wine glasses.

said that he was going to toast several elders of the clan, and there have been many inconveniences to disturb them recently.

When the elders of the junior high school saw these two police officers coming, although they were not too enthusiastic, at least they did not lose their basic etiquette.

They still have more respect for the two of them, they understand what the two policemen mean, the place where the police are solving the case now is very close to the ancestral grave of the Fan family.

If this is an outsider, these old guys will never let others go easily, that place is the ancestral grave of the family, and it is the foundation of the prosperous family. Of course, a few elders also politely told them that it didn't matter, and it was an honor to be able to cooperate with the police to solve the case.

Besides, if such a large stone pit was found not far from the ancestral grave, they would not know what to do if there was no police investigation.

This is a gray-haired, bearded elder asking Officer Zhang how the recent situation of the case is going. When Officer Zhang saw the elder in front of him, he said thoughtfully, okay, everything was going relatively smoothly. If I could, I think the case would be solved soon.

Officer Song and Officer Li next to them knew what Officer Zhang meant by saying these words, and they knew that Officer Zhang was not telling the truth, but they didn't understand why Officer Zhang wanted to lie to these elders.

The two officers just felt that Officer Zhang must have his own thoughts, so the two of them didn't ask anything more.

Officer Song and Officer Li reminded Officer Zhang that it was not too early and that it was time for them to go back, otherwise it would be difficult for them to go back when it was dark.

And Fanli also told them that they could stay at Fan's house tonight, of course, a few of them saw that this was just polite words.

After a few people excused themselves, they prepared to go back, and Officer Zhang looked at the girl who was sitting with him just now. The girl wore a high ponytail, drank rice wine in her hand, and kept her eyes in the direction of her.

Officer Zhang didn't know why, but he had a different feeling when he looked at this girl.
