Chapter 56: Skinny Monkey
Tianjia Village, which had been peaceful for several years, was in chaos again, and more than 100 villagers gathered in front of the village chief's house to make noise, starting from the door of the house, crowding the small courtyard in front of the door, and the village road was also occupied by most of it. The villagers held pots and pans, knocked loudly, and shouted slogans indistinctly.
The village chief was an old man over half a hundred years old, on crutches, and his gray beard was messed up by the wind, just like his mood at the moment. At this age, it is the joy of family to be able to lie on the Taishi chair, drink tea, and tease the grandson, and it is best not to bother him with any trouble, who would have thought that trouble is not only coming, but also a big trouble.
Knock knock!
The village chief slammed his cane on the ground and wanted to say a few words, but the excited voices of the crowd could not allow him to happen. The village chief felt very aggrieved, didn't these people just come to make a decision to speak? Now he wants to speak, why don't you let him speak? What's the use of fooling yourself here?
Seeing this, the village chief's family had no choice but to come forward to maintain order. Xu was tired of shouting, and these people who were making noise finally stopped. The village chief cleared his throat and cursed in his heart: a group of foolish people. But he said, "Everyone, everyone, please be quiet. I'm on the same page as you in this matter, so I hope you can listen to me carefully. ”
"Good! Good! We listen to the village chief, then ask the village chief to talk about what to do now! ”
The village chief glanced at the man who was chained to the corner, shook his head, and said, "This matter should not be handled by us, I have already called the police, and the police will come and solve everything." ”
"What else are you looking for the police? Don't even think about it, it must be this madman! It must have been him, who killed his brother and his nephew. He's a madman, and if you leave him here, we're all in danger! ”
"That's right! Get rid of him! ”
"Rectify the Fa on the spot!"
"Silence, silence!" The village chief slammed his crutches and shouted angrily, "Now is a society governed by the rule of law!" Do you still think it's the feudal era of the last century? If you say you will rush, you will kill if you say kill? I said, the police will solve it, we just have to wait for the police to come. I'm watching this madman, and if you're afraid, don't go out of the house! Meeting! The village chief was really angry, and scolded the people who came, and it was difficult to reason with this group of uncivilized villagers.
The village chief brushed his sleeves away, leaving the confused villagers behind. They were full of anger, but they didn't know where to sprinkle it, and they didn't know why, so they left scolding, and before leaving, they threw everything they could at the man who was cowering in the corner.
After a while, the courtyard and the village road were empty, and only the yellow dust was blown up by the wind from time to time, and it swirled in the air and fell to the ground. A man and a woman walked on the village road, and their faces were covered in dust by the dust.
Zhang Yue looked at those who were far away and sighed: "It seems that this village is not peaceful!" ”
Zhou Qianying frowned slightly: "What are you doing here?" ”
"Keeping the peace."
"Huh?"
Zhang Yue took out a document from her chest pocket and looked at it, then walked towards the village chief's house with her head held high, and Zhou Qianying, who was following behind, suddenly felt that Zhang Yue had changed into a different person, and her originally thin figure suddenly became taller, which made people feel inexplicably relieved. Such Zhang Yue seems to be a little handsome.
Zhang Yue knocked on the door of the village chief's courtyard and came to greet a man who looked like a monkey, his eyes rolling slightly. Zhang Yue doesn't like such people very much, and she is too shrewd. Thinking like this in her heart, Zhang Yue still politely took out her documents, her face was cold and hard, and she looked at him condescendingly.
When the man saw the documents, he hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Eh, comrade police, please inside, please inside." ”
Zhou Qianying followed behind, a little dazed, and looked at Zhang Yue with inquiring eyes. The two looked at each other and quickly looked away.
"What's the situation, you're a police officer?"
"Shhhh Go back and explain. ”
One look, both know each other.
Passing through the small courtyard, there is the living room of the village chief's house. The village chief hurried out of the living room on crutches, and almost fell because he didn't pay attention to the threshold. Zhang Yue was in no mood to pay attention to these, and the moment he walked in the door, his eyes were attracted by the man who was huddled in the corner and chained.
"Comrade policeman, comrade policeman, finally waiting for you to come. Yes, are they two? The village chief walked quickly to Zhang Yue, the wrinkles on the old face stretched out one by one, and the people who didn't know the courteous appearance thought that he was greeting the chairman, and they couldn't wait to squeeze out a few tears to show their excitement.
Zhang Yue nodded, but his eyes didn't want to take his eyes off the man in the corner, he lowered his voice and said in a deep voice: "What's the matter with that person?" Why is it chained? ”
The village chief sighed: "Comrade, you don't know. He's a madman. This time the incident was caused by their family. ”
"Oh? Tell me more about it. ”
"This madman's name is Tian Qingzhu, he has an elder brother named Tian Yulan, and a nephew named Tian Song." The village chief said.
Zhang Yue and Zhou Qianying sighed in their hearts, they were a little surprised, they didn't expect to hear a familiar name when they came here, but they didn't know if this Tian Song was the Tian Song they knew.
The village chief continued: "This madman has the energy to hurt people before, and the villagers have to drive their family to the top of the mountain in order to protect themselves, and when you look up, behind the stone wall is their home. I know it's a bit unkind, but there's no way, no one dares to let this madman run out and hurt people. It's just that I didn't expect that this madman would actually kill his brother and nephew! ”
Zhang Yue's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and her gaze was slightly condensed, falling on the man, as if she wanted to peel off everything about him and see the deepest soul. This look frightened the village chief shut up suddenly. After a long time, Zhang Yue slowly retracted her gaze and said, "Take me to his house to see." ”
"Uh...... That, comrade policeman, what to do with this madman? It can't be left in our house, if he ......," said the village chief.
Zhang Yue glanced at him, "Don't worry, I will live in the village during this time, and I will take care of him." ”
"Uh...... But this ......"
"Questions?"
"No, no."
The village chief was inconvenient to go up the mountain because of his old age, so he had to call the monkey-like man: "Comrade, this is my son, you can call him a thin monkey, the old man is inconvenient for his legs and feet, so he won't accompany you." ”
Zhang Yue nodded, said no more, and followed the thin monkey up the mountain.
After nearly half an hour of trekking, the three of them finally came to the towering stone wall. Zhang Yue has been trained, and his physical fitness is naturally different from ordinary people, and he walks very easily on this road. But the other two are different.
The thin monkey panted slightly, beads of sweat were already hanging on his face, Zhou Qianying was even more unbearable, and when he was halfway there, his feet in high heels were already shaking, and now he was lying on Zhang Yue's back, his face flushed.
"Can you come down?" Zhang Yue asked softly.
Zhou Qianying said: "I've wanted to come down for a long time, you've been carrying it for so long, you're very tired, do you want to rest for a while?" ”
Zhang Yue shook her head, moved her shoulders, and said, "I don't feel anything, you should eat more." ”
Zhou Qianying puffed out her cheeks and pointed to her face, "Am I fat?" You see my face is round. ”
Zhang Yue sighed, "The fat place is not fat, and it is useless." ”
Zhou Qianying looked down at her chest aggrievedly, "Blame me?" ”
The thin monkey coughed a few times with embarrassment, "Ahem, cough, two, what, the door is open, are you still going in?" ”
"Eh, come in."
Pushing open the heavy iron door, Zhang Yue imagined the life of three men in this family in her mind. They certainly don't like to go out, after all, the village road is so difficult, long, steep, dusty, and potholed, that if you are not careful, you will end up with a sprained ankle.
So what will they do here? Zhang Yue couldn't think of two houses, one was obviously used for the madman, and the other was supposed to be lived by Tian Yulan's father and son, but there was only one bed, a few tables and chairs, and a TV. Zhang Yue tried to turn on the TV, but found that the TV was simply broken.
The kitchen was not large, and it was full of firewood, some of which were still very new, probably freshly chopped, and the knives were thrown haphazardly into the pyre, and there were some notches in the blades. Such a wood knife chops firewood, relying not on the blade but on the strength of the person holding the knife.
The stove is not a common gas stove, but a wood stove, and a large pot, a spatula, a cutting board, and a kitchen knife on the stove are all the kitchen utensils. Zhang Yue's cooking skills are not bad, but with these few tools, he doesn't think he can make many good dishes.
"Can I ask? Why don't you take Tian Qingzhu to the hospital? Zhang Yue asked.
The thin monkey said with some disdain: "Tian Yulan, that old man is unwilling to live or die, he doesn't admit that his younger brother is a madman, and insists that he is just relatively simple or something, let his bullshit go, what simple people talk and still talk nonsense." His sons are more self-aware than he is. Since he didn't want to live or die, he had to throw them here! Comrade, don't look at the simplicity here, they have a family of three, and it is still no problem to make a living, in the countryside, it is all like this. ”
Zhang Yue didn't listen, and walked straight to another room.
"Their bodies are ......" When pushing the door, Zhang Yue asked casually, who knew that as soon as the door opened, there was a pungent stench.
Zhou Qianying smelled the smell, her face changed slightly, and the steps she had just taken out were retracted.
In the room, two corpses were lying in a pool of blood, the red and black blood had coagulated, and the two people seemed to be stuck to the floor by the blood.
Zhang Yue turned her head and looked at the thin monkey, "When did you call the police?" ”
"Today, today! Aren't you a police officer? How could you not know ......"
"Shut up! The scene is well maintained, give me out, don't come in without my password, is there a problem? ”
"No, no ......"
