Chapter 33: Clues

It seems that this matter has become Leng Ling's heart disease, originally she also wanted to go with Ye Chen and them, but the teaching work of the school caused her to really can't leave.

In order to make a contribution, she not only promised to help Ye Chen and them, but also promised to help them make up for the missing lessons in the future.

After that, Ye Chen and Qin Muxue returned to the villa.

Qin Muxue was worried that Qin Zhan had an opinion, so she simply lied and directly told Qin Zhan that she wanted to go out for a walk, but Qin Zhan didn't say anything, after all, her granddaughter's happiness was the most important thing, and it didn't hurt to let go of her studies first.

It's just that Qin Zhan asked them to bring two bodyguards with them, which would be safer and easier to walk when there were more people.

Qin Muxue didn't object this time, it didn't matter if she took two people on the road, she could run errands for them or something.

Ye Chen and Qin Muxue sat in the back seat, and this time it was the bodyguard who was driving. This was Qin Muxue's request, and she felt that this time it would definitely consume a lot of energy, so she asked Ye Chen to rest more and prepare for a hard battle.

After a three-hour drive, they finally arrived at a small town.

"Miss. The next road was so narrow that our car couldn't get through. One of the bodyguards got out of the car and probed the way, and came back to report.

Ye Chen and Qin Muxue got out of the car and saw the muddy path in front of them, so they could only decide to go on foot.

After the bodyguard parked the car, he followed them into a village on foot.

The village is very sparsely populated. Many young people have gone to the big cities to work, and no one stays here, but only some old people stationed in the villages.

Ye Chen and the others came to a small western-style building according to the address given by Leng Ling.

This is the only small western-style building in the village, and it still looks quite abrupt.

The other houses in the village were open, but this small western-style building had its doors closed and did not seem to welcome guests.

Ye Chen stepped forward and knocked on the door, but no one answered.

After a long time, just as they wanted to inquire about other residents, the door slowly opened, but only a small part of it opened, and a middle-aged woman poked out of it.

"Who are you looking for?" The middle-aged woman frowned when she saw the two black-clothed men behind Qin Muxue, with a hint of uneasiness on her face.

"May I ask if Su Xiaomei's home is here?" Ye Chen asked politely.

Su Xiaomei is the girl Ye Chen saw in his evening self-study.

"Who are you? What are you looking for Su Xiaomei for? The middle-aged woman's tone suddenly became unpolite, and a nervous look appeared on her face.

"We were her high school classmates, we hadn't seen her in a long time, and we missed her so much that we wanted to come and see her." Qin Muxue said with a smile, her tone was very gentle, she was very worried that this middle-aged woman would directly turn them away.

"You're in the wrong place, we don't have Su Xiaomei here." The middle-aged woman waved her hand, looking very impatient, and closed the door with a "bang".

"What the hell!" Qin Muxue was a little angry, but she didn't expect that what she was worried about really happened.

"What now?" Qin Muxue was the first time to eat closed-door soup, although she was angry, she really couldn't do anything.

"Why don't we force the door." The bodyguard behind her suggested.

"No, don't do this kind of thing, we just want to inquire about the situation, there's no need to be so rude." Ye Chen then vetoed the bodyguard's opinion.

What are you kidding, if you really do what they say, they will be accused of forcibly breaking into people's houses later, and then they will go directly to prison.

Ye Chen sighed, a little speechless about the brain circuit of this bodyguard.

"Let's start with the neighbors, maybe we can get something out of it." Ye Chen said after thinking about it.

After hearing this, Qin Muxue agreed very much, and immediately took action, and ran to the neighbor's house to ask something, but she ignored a question.

Most of those who remained were elderly, and the old people generally spoke dialects, and Mandarin was rarely available in their time. So these people don't speak Mandarin at all.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Qin Muxue to return in disgrace.

"I'm so depressed, no one can understand what I'm saying, is there a mistake, am I coming to Mars?" Qin Muxue stomped her feet in annoyance, and it was difficult to express her grievances in her chest.

"Maybe we should go to the village chief." Ye Chen said after thinking about it.

"Oops, why didn't you say it earlier." Qin Muxue punched him with a powder fist, blamed, paused, and suddenly thought of something, "But where is the village chief's house, and there is no office building or anything." ”

Qin Muxue looked around and didn't find what she was looking for.

Just when a few people were clueless, a middle-aged man suddenly appeared in their field of vision and was walking towards them from not far away.

"I have a feeling that the person should be able to communicate." After Ye Chen finished speaking, he walked over to the middle-aged man.

Qin Muxue and two bodyguards also followed.

"Hello, do you know where the village chief's house is?" Ye Chen stretched out his hand.

The middle-aged man didn't mean to shake hands with Ye Chen, but showed an unwelcoming attitude: "I'm the village chief, what are you looking for the village chief?" ”

Seeing him like this, Ye Chen and Qin Muxue frowned unhappily, how could even the village chief have such an attitude. No wonder this village is so poor.

Qin Muxue just wanted to go crazy, but Ye Chen signaled her not to get excited.

"Village chief, we are Su Xiaomei's classmates, and we want to come and see her, but ......" Ye Chen hadn't finished speaking. was suddenly interrupted by the village chief.

"Hurry up, there's no little sister Su here, you're in the wrong place." The village chief said politely.

"You are talking nonsense, Su Xiaomei lives here, why are you lying!" Qin Muxue could no longer hold back the resentment in her heart. Directly scolded.

"I said no, no, you can't go, if you don't go, I'll let people drive you away!"

As soon as the village chief's words fell, the two bodyguards behind Qin Muxue strode forward and stood directly in front of the village chief. Looking down at the village chief.

The village chief felt the oppression from top to bottom, and suddenly coaxed a lot, and his feet became a little soft, but he still said hard: "You ...... Hurry up, I'll ...... I'm the village chief. Don't mess around. ”

As he spoke, he left quickly, and the direction he left was the direction of the small western-style building.

Ye Chen and Qin Muxue watched him open the door of the small western-style building with the key, and looked at Ye Chen vigilantly as they opened it, and then after the door opened, they quickly drilled in like a loach.

"That village chief ......," Qin Muxue was a little dumbfounded, "it turned out to be a family with that woman." He had been running over in a rage, perhaps because the woman had informed him of our arrival. ”

"Maybe yes, that woman and the village chief are both relatives of Su Xiaomei, but why are they avoiding us so much." Ye Chen looked at the tiled houses around him, and more or less guessed something, maybe it was because of Su Xiaomei's death. Someone wanted to seal their mouths and gave them a sum of money, so their family built a small western-style house.

Ye Chen sighed, human nature is really untestable.

Just as they were about to retreat first and find a place to stay. An old man with gray hair stopped them.

The old man spoke Mandarin, and Ye Chen felt that the old man must know something, so he followed him into the house.

The old man was quite polite, telling them to sit at will, and bringing them tea and water. It was much better than the village chief's attitude just now, which also made Qin Muxue feel a lot more comfortable, and she suddenly felt that there were still good people in this village.

"Where are you from?" The old man, with a dry smoking gun in his hand, also sat down and asked.

"We are from Jiangning City, and we want to come here to see our old classmate Su Xiaomei, do you know where Su Xiaomei lives now?" Ye Chen deliberately asked this in order to dispel the old man's suspicions and show that they did not come with any bad intentions.

The old man didn't shy away from it, and pointed directly in the direction where the small western-style building was located. said: "It's where you knocked on the door just now, and the two people you just met are her parents." ”

Ye Chen and Qin Muxue glanced at each other, and they could read a trace of surprise in each other's eyes, but they didn't expect that it was Su Xiaomei's parents.

"But......" the old man paused, his expression suddenly darkened. The man you are looking for is no longer there. ”

"Gone?" Ye Chen pretended to be a little surprised.

"That's right." The old man nodded, "I passed away two years ago, I heard that he died of illness, I don't know what others think, anyway, I don't think it's that simple." Su Xiaomei grew up watching me, she has been healthy since she was a child, she has no illness or disaster, how can such a healthy person say that she will die of illness?

Not long after Su Xiaomei left, their family began to build a small western-style building. His father is a small village head, and his income is only 10,000 yuan a year, and his mother does some manual work and doesn't earn any money, how can he have money to build a western-style house overnight. ”

"What a good child, she's the only college student in the village, but it's a pity that it's gone." The old man sighed and took a puff of dry cigarette, his face full of regret.

After listening to what the old man said, Ye Chen felt that it made sense, this village didn't seem to be a wealthy village, so there was no such thing as getting rich overnight, it seemed that Ye Chen's guess was also eight or nine, and someone gave Su Xiaomei's parents a sum of money.

"By the way, old man, we want to go and see Su Xiaomei's tomb. Give her a pillar of incense and say goodbye, after all, she is also an old classmate, we don't know that she is no longer there, and we couldn't send her when she left, so I feel very guilty. Do you know where it is? Ye Chen asked.

"You really have a heart, go, I'll take you there, I'm also there on the day of the burial, I know where it is." The old man got up and patted his buttocks, and walked straight out the door.

Ye Chen nodded at Qin Muxue, and secretly said that his hard work really paid off, and then he followed.
