Nancuo Village, a fishing village in the south of Chunyang City. Xiao Mo remembered that when he first came to Chunyang City, he searched almost every corner of Chunyang City, just to find Zhu Zhong.

Zhu Zhong's last appearance was in Nancuo Village, when he was married to a local girl under the pseudonym Liu Qing, and had two children, the eldest was already in junior high school in his teens, and the younger was also in elementary school.

At that time, Nancuo Village was a very remote fishing village by the sea.

Bus No. 9 starts from the railway station in the city center and passes through several stations all the way to Nancuo Village.

At that time, the No. 9 buses were all dilapidated small minibuses, and it took half a day to run one, and a puff of smoke came out of the buttocks as soon as the accelerator was hit, and there was an indescribable feeling of desolation.

Xiao Mo remembered that when he got on the No. 9 bus that year, there were many fishermen along the way who picked up fish and shrimp to sell on the bus.

After leaving the city, a long section of the road is the same kind of gravel road.

At that time, Nancuo Village, a group of low-rise buildings, densely placed next to each other, and the intricate lanes followed up the maze when you walked in.

At that time, Xiao Mo got off at the No. 9 bus terminal at the entrance of the village, entered the village and didn't know how many turns, and finally found the Yuyuan Sichuan restaurant opened by Zhu Zhong on the edge of the ancestral hall of the village.

But when he arrived, all he saw was a small, blackened two-story building.

The fire was in the middle of the night before, and by the time someone found out, the fire was out of control.

The terrain in the village made it impossible for fire trucks to enter, and by the time the villagers put out the fire with pots, Zhu Zhong's family of four living on the second floor had been burned beyond recognition.

According to local villagers, Liu Qing, also known as Zhu Zhong incognito, came to Nancuo Village many years ago and was hired by Huang Ashan, a fisherman in the village, to go to sea to fish.

Zhu Zhong was at his age, and he was also a spiritual guy back then.

Later, Huang Li, the second girl of Huang Ashan, fell in love with Zhu Zhong, and the two became a family, and followed her father-in-law to the sea to make some money, and later built a two-story bungalow on the Huang family's homestead.

Zhu Zhong learned to cook with the banquet master for a few days in his hometown, and after the second-floor bungalow was built, Zhu Zhong opened a Sichuan restaurant in the façade room on the first floor.

According to Huang Li's father, Huang Ashan, when his daughter Huang Li and Zhu Zhong got along, the whole family was against it.

A poor boy from the mainland has nothing, who gave him the courage to marry the young and beautiful Huang Li?

Huang Ah Zhi sighed at the time, saying that the woman was not left, and Huang Li would not marry Zhu Zhong if she wanted to die or live.

Most parents in the world are like this, with a heart that loves their children, it is always the parents who compromise.

The biggest reason why Huang Ajiao accepted Zhu Zhong was that Zhu Zhong said that he had no relatives in his hometown, and he was willing to stay in Nancuo Village for the rest of his life for Huang Li and be half of the Huang family's son.

Huang Ah Shan took out some money for his daughter, which was regarded as his daughter's dowry, and Zhu Zhong also saved some money in those years, built a two-story bungalow next to the Huang family's small building, and lived a small life separately.

Although Zhu Zhong is five big and three thick, he is not a young man who grew up by the sea, he gets seasick as soon as he goes to sea, and every time he goes to sea, it is like losing half his life.

Fortunately, he has a craft, and opened a Sichuan restaurant downstairs in his house, his cooking skills are good, and there are not many restaurants in the village, so the business of the restaurant is very prosperous as soon as it opens. E-book house

Seeing that the days are getting more and more prosperous, who knows that overnight, none of the family will survive.

Later, after investigation, the fire was caused by the kitchen of the restaurant on the first floor, and the fire was very fast as soon as it started, and soon spread to the second floor.

When the two liquefier bottles were found in the kitchen, all the pipes connected to the gas stove had been burned, and the on/off valve of one of the gas canisters was still open.

The kitchen was a mess, sanitation was worrisome, and a charred rat carcass was found next to the gas canister.

The official conclusion was that rats bit off the gas pipe, causing the fire.

Xiao Mo is skeptical about this conclusion.

Why did his family of four die in the fire when he had just determined that the restaurant owner Liu Qing was Zhu Zhong, who had been on the run?

Is it a coincidence or is there something else?

But the scene of the fire was in shambles, and it was almost impossible to find other clues.

Xiao Mo questioned, would Zhu Zhong be killed by him? And what was the reason for his killing?

After visiting and investigating the village for a long time, it seems that no suspicious points have been found. Before the fire, Zhu Zhong's daily life had not changed, getting up early every morning to go to the wholesale market to buy vegetables, and returning to prepare for the day's work.

During that time, he did not interact with suspicious people, which does not seem to confirm the possibility that Xiao Mo thought that someone had killed someone.

Huang said that the restaurant opened by his son-in-law makes money, but it also makes hard money, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs every day. There was no time to do anything else, and before the accident, the daughter and son-in-law also discussed buying a house in the city so that the younger daughter could go to a good school.

Before Zhu Zhong fled, in the eyes of his old family, he was an unobtrusive gangster, the kind of person who was ruthless and didn't recognize his six relatives.

But the villagers of Nancuo Village don't think so, everyone says that Zhu Zhong has a bold and easy-going temperament, and his mouth can speak well.

Although he is a foreign son-in-law, Zhu Zhong has a very good relationship with the people in the village, he is still a warm-hearted person, the restaurant business is prosperous, he does not owe anyone money, and he has not had any disputes with others. If it is said that he killed, no one will believe it.

Someone asked if it could be a burglary? This possibility was also ruled out, although the first and second floors were almost burned to ashes by the fire, but the iron safe placed in the bedroom was still there, and Zhu Zhong, as a local tyrant, was lying in the ashes at the head of the bed with a large gold chain. After Huang Ashan's identification, this big gold chain belonged to Zhu Zhong.

Later, the police from his hometown Miancheng also came to Chunyang City to investigate with the local police, and carefully investigated all the people who were related to Zhu Zhong at that time.

Especially the staff in the restaurant.

A vegetable washing aunt in the kitchen, three apprentices led by Zhu Zhong, and three waiters in the front hall.

First of all, the dishwasher aunt and the three waiters in the front hall are excluded, and the general restaurant is full of food and accommodation. The area of the second floor of Zhu Zhong's house is not large, there are three rooms on the second floor, the eldest daughter is important in middle school, there is a separate room, and the husband and wife and the youngest daughter have one room.

The first small room was used as a storehouse for the dining room, and spices were placed. So there is no extra room for employees to stay.

Huang Ah Shan cleaned up the utility room on the first floor of his house and gave it to the female employees of his son-in-law's restaurant.

That night, the three waiters and the kitchen aunt returned to their residence after work, assuming that the fire was man-made and had nothing to do with them.
