Chapter 14 Interrogation
Gao Da and Wang Jiaqi and I hurriedly returned to the well and re-covered up the charms of the five elements seals that had been dug up.
Then, we sat on the stone slab next to the well, pretending not to know anything, and waited for Gao Bao and the villagers to come back.
"From now on, we have to assume that Gao Bao is in the same group as those villagers." I explained to the two of them, "There's a good chance they're going to quietly kill the three of us and bury us." In this deep mountain and old forest, then we will be inexplicably missing. ”
Gundam nodded solemnly.
Wang Jiaqi said excitedly: "Then let's have a battle of wits and courage with them, now we are the three heroes of the wind and dust, we want to eliminate harm for the people, eliminate violence and peace!" ”
Gouda pointed to the hand that was still raised high under the stone ridge, but did not speak.
His meaning is obvious, you don't want to be unrelenting, but end up like that person.
Wang Jiaqi looked back and couldn't help but shudder.
Gao Gao said lightly: "There is a price to be paid for eliminating violence and peace, and justice is sometimes to be maintained with your life. ”
Wang Jiaqi straightened his waist and said, "I'm not afraid!" ”
It was at this time that Gao Bao returned.
Behind him, there were more than a dozen villagers, the fourth was also among them, but the third uncle was not there.
At the same time, they also carried a door panel, presumably used to carry corpses.
After Gao Bao greeted us, he instructed the villagers to start demolishing the rocks.
We also walked over and stood by and watched.
There are many people, and there is great power. After about half an hour, a large gap was made in the stone ridge.
It turned out that under the stone ridge, there was a big bluestone.
There is a groove in the middle of the big bluestone, just enough to put a person.
That little jade's body was placed in that groove.
That Xiaoyu was wearing red short-sleeved clothes, and her face was peaceful, as if there was no pain at all, as if she was asleep at all.
The strangest thing is that her body has been soaked in water all the time, but there is no sign of decay at all. Looking at her like that, it was as if she felt that it was too hot to ride this day, so she was lying in the water to refresh herself.
Next to Xiaoyu's body, there is also an altar.
It was an ordinary clay pottery jar, the kind used in the countryside to hold kimchi sour peppers, but it was much smaller, and the mouth of the jar was sealed with plastic sheet, so that it did not leak.
If my guess is correct, this small jar is used to hold the souls of the villagers.
After being locked up in this small jar for a year, I really don't know what those villagers feel like.
Wang Jiaqi probably thought of it too, and his two fists clenched "click" loudly, trying to suppress his anger.
Gao Bao instructed the villagers to carry Xiaoyu's body to the door panel, looked at the altar and thought for a while, then looked at the fourth child and said, "This altar looks so evil, you throw it into the dung pit." ”
Gundam wanted to say something, but I quietly pulled him from behind, and Gundam held back.
The fourth child seemed to want Gao Bao to say this, and ran away with the jar, and when he arrived at the pit where Wang Jiaqi had scooped dung just now, he threw the jar into it with a "poof", and then spat hatefully.
This trick is indeed very vicious.
In such a filthy and filthy dung pit, if those souls were still in it, it would definitely be dark and difficult to turn over, and it would stink like this.
Obviously, Gao Bao and the fourth child both knew what was originally in this jar.
Wang Jiaqi's eyes seemed to be about to erupt with fire.
"Shall we go back to the village first?" Gao Bao looked at Gundam and said, although it seemed to ask Gundam's opinion, his tone was unquestionable.
"Okay." Gundam said with a smile.
So, the group went back along the same road we had come from last night, climbed over the pine tree-covered mountain, and returned to Shangtang Village again.
Along the way, no one said a word.
I thought that the villagers might lie in ambush in the pine forest, and when we passed by, they would suddenly jump out and kill us.
Gundam may have thought the same way, and he was nervous as he passed through the pine forest.
However, we still thought too much, and we climbed the mountain safely, and nothing happened.
I can't help but wonder, what does this Gao Bao think? What exactly is his purpose?
Gao Bao walked in front and took us all the way back to the courtyard of Wang Jiaqi and the third uncle.
The villagers placed the door panel in the middle of the courtyard and then stood by and waited for Gao Bao's orders.
Wang Jiaqi wanted to go back to his room.
"Wait a minute......" Gao Bao called out to her.
Wang Jiaqi turned around, looked at Gao Bao and said, "I'm just going to change my clothes, are you still afraid that I will fly?" ”
Gao Bao looked at Wang Jiaqi indifferently, then looked back at me, and said expressionlessly: "You two are also suspicious of this girl's death, so neither of you can walk away." ”
Wang Jiaqi said angrily: "What suspicion do we have? Which eye did you see us killing? What evidence do you have? ”
Gao Bao said coldly: "If I have evidence, I will arrest you now." It's because there is no evidence that you have to ask. ”
Wang Jiaqi also wanted to say, I gave her a look, and she held back and went back to the room to change her clothes.
"Where are the others?" Gundam asked Takaho and said.
Gao Bao didn't answer Gundam directly, but instead glanced at the fourth child next to him.
The fourth child immediately ran over and went directly to push the door of the third uncle's hall.
"Tss
With a soft sound, the door of the hall was pushed open.
More than a hundred people came out one after another, and stood in a few rows at the bottom of the line.
The fourth child also obediently came out of the hall with a bench, put it on the steps in front of the hall door, and motioned to Gao Bao with a smile on his face to sit there and interrogate, don't be tired.
Gao Bao didn't greet Gundam either, and walked up the steps himself.
At this time, Wang Jiaqi also changed his clothes and came out and stood next to me.
This time, she changed into black pants and wore a gray short-sleeved shirt, looking lifeless.
"You should buy something a little brighter." Gundam said on the other side of me.
"You have to take care of it." Wang Jiaqi didn't appreciate it at all.
"He's right, young girls should dress brightly." I said too.
"Okay, you can help me choose when the time comes." Wang Jiaqi said with a smile.
I was about to speak, but I saw Gao Bao's eyes look at me indifferently, so I stopped talking.
I've already made up my mind, no matter what Gao Bao says, I'll be perfunctory first, and wait for Zhu'er to take the ecstasy incense.
Gao Bao began to ask: "You two, when did you get to that well?" ”
"That's not a very scientific question." I said, "You ask the two of us, which one do you want to answer?" Even a teacher in an elementary school classroom knows who to ask for the answers to the questions. ”
"Yes." Wang Jiaqi agreed, with a look of disdain.
Gundam's schadenfreude look, so clearly he said, "He has a point." ”
Gao Bao's face turned white suddenly, and he said indignantly: "Okay, Chen Xiaodao, then let me ask you, when did you and Wang Jiaqi get there?" ”
"That's right." I said, "I don't know when you got there, and it's useless for you to ask that question." ”
"Chen Xiaodao, you give me a little serious!" Gao Bao shouted angrily, "I'm asking you again, you're a murder suspect!" ”
"Murder suspects?" I looked at Gundam next to me and said, "I really don't know much about this, shouldn't the interrogation of the murder suspect be carried out at the place where you work?" Like this...... Doesn't seem serious enough, does it? ”
Gundam said with a smile, "It stands to reason that this is the case, but it is also appropriate to ask for a confession at the scene first." ”
"Oh, I see, thanks for the advice." I say.
That Gao Bao was already up and his head was lit up.
I said, "I don't really know when I got there." You know, there's no electricity here, there's no time, and my phone is out of power. I only remember that I couldn't sleep for a long time, and then I got up and chatted with Wang Jiaqi in the yard for a while, and then talked about catching fish in Houba. Then we went, and when we went, we sat and talked a little more on the mountain, and as for when we got to the well, who could say? In short, after dark, before dawn. ”
