"How old is he?" Qin Qi hurriedly asked.

"It's more than thirty." The royal father said.

"More than thirty..."That's not right!

Seeing Qin Li furrowing his brows, Corot asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qin Li ignored Ke Luo, looked at Wang Yuanwen, and asked, "Did Teacher Qu disappear in Neishan?" ”

Wang Yuanwen shook his head, "I don't know, I didn't know until the day after he disappeared." ”

"Then does he usually go to Uchiyama?" Qin Bai asked again.

"It should be, he often goes to the mountains with Wang Li and them, it is said that Mr. Qu likes to take pictures, I think they should have been to the inner mountain." Wang Yuanwen thought for a while and said.

"Been there!"

The royal father suddenly interjected.

Everyone looked back at him, and through the smoke of smoke, the royal father's face looked solemn and deep.

"The reason why I went to Neishan was that the day before Mr. Qu disappeared, I saw him going up the mountain alone, and he was going in the direction of Neishan, so after he disappeared, I thought about going to Wang Siliang to look for him. At that time, when we walked by head-on, he also greeted me and called me uncle..."At this point, the royal father paused, and took a few more puffs of his cigarette.

The smoke grew thicker, and finally the royal father's face was hidden behind it.

"Did you find any clues?" Holding back the discomfort of the smell of smoke, Qin Li moved closer to the royal father slightly.

"No, he's still smirking at me, just like that night,!" As he spoke, the royal father suddenly cursed a swear word, and his voice became more and more hoarse.

"Smirk..."

The appearance of that person became clearer and clearer in Qin Li's mind.

"Does he look a little older, like a middle-aged man, or even older than you?" Qin Li looked at the royal father and asked.

"That's right! Have you seen it? The royal father snuffed out the cigarette butt and looked at Qin Li.

"Maybe you've seen it, can you take us to Uchiyama in a while?" Qin Qi asked.

"You suspect it's him, too?" The royal father stared at Qin Li.

"Just check it out." Qin Bai said.

"I'll go too!" Wang Yuanwen suddenly shouted.

"Where are you going, no more classes?" The royal father scolded.

Wang Yuanwen pursed his lips and continued to eat again, but the chewing sound became louder and louder, as if he was angry.

Seeing Wang Yuanwen eating with his cheeks puffed out, Co Luo couldn't help laughing, raised his hand and touched his head, "Don't you still want to take the Yunnan University exam, how can you skip class?" ”

"Mmmm, I don't skip school, but you have to be careful, that guy is not a good stubble." Wang Yuanwen looked at everyone with some concern.

Corot nodded, looked at the royal father, and asked, "Has Wang Siliang ever acted violent before?" ”

"Nope." The royal father shook his head.

"Even if there is, it will be hidden, just like Xiaowen's incident!" The Queen Mother said indignantly.

"Because here, everybody is kind." Qin Li tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled a little sarcastically.

After hearing this, the people did not speak again, but buried their heads and continued to eat.

This meal, I ate for more than an hour.

When checking out, the royal father and Corot both rushed to pay, and Qin Li couldn't stand it anymore, so he took out his wallet from his pocket, touched two Grandpa Mao, and handed them to the boss.

"No need to look for it, thank you."

"Uh..."

Corot and the royal father paused, then smiled and let go of each other's hands.

After leaving the restaurant, the royal father took Qin Li and Ke Luo to Ningxiang Township, while Wang Yuanwen followed the queen mother home to get her schoolbag and prepare to go to school.

After seeing the backs of the three of them leaving for a while, Wang Yuanwen followed the queen mother and returned home.

In the afternoon, Wang Yuanwen was a little distracted, although he was staring at the blackboard, his mind had already drifted to Ningxiang Town...

"He's not home in the afternoon, is he?"

On the way, Corot asked about Wang Siliang's situation.

"No, during the day he will go hunting, and then take the bacon he made to the town to sell, and then buy some daily necessities and come back." The royal father said.

"Has he lived alone all these years?" Corot asked.

"Well, who wants to live with a fool, besides, there are more men and fewer women here, and normal men can't get a wife, let alone a fool!" The royal father said.

"I also found that there are more men and fewer women here, is it because of the environment?" Corot asked again.

The royal father smiled and said, "I don't know, anyway, there are more boys than girls in us." ”

Corot also wanted to ask what to do with a man who couldn't find a wife, but later found that it was getting farther and farther away, so he pulled the topic back to Wang Siliang.

"In addition to liking hunting, does Wang Siliang have any other hobbies? Do you get close to the rest of the town? ”

The royal father thought for a moment and said, "It seems... He doesn't have any other hobbies, he usually runs to the mountains, or to the town, or stays at home to make bacon. He didn't get close to the people in the town, so everyone knew almost nothing about him except that he was a fool. ”

"It's even more unclear whether there is evil intentions hidden under his stupid appearance." Qin Qi said lightly.

"Well, if it weren't for Xiaowen's incident, I wouldn't have been suspicious of him." The royal father nodded.

"Then there are so many children who have disappeared over the years, haven't you ever suspected anyone?" Corot wondered.

"It's not that there is no suspicion, but we don't dare to doubt it, our people here are simple, not to mention killing people and setting fires, and there is not even any such thing as stealing chickens and touching dogs." The royal father said.

"Besides, if you live in the mountains, it's not impossible to be attacked by wild beasts." Qin Li added.

"Hmm... Therefore, if the child is lost, he can only consider himself unlucky. Ay! With that, the royal father sighed heavily.

"How much tea is produced in your tea plantation?" Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more solemn, Corot hurriedly changed the topic and chatted with the royal father about the business of the tea garden.

An hour later, the three of them arrived at Uchiyama.

As the name suggests, the inner mountain is actually the central location of the mountain, and although it is the same mountain, the inner mountain is obviously much more shaded and quiet.

The royal father said that there were often fierce beasts in the inner mountain, so everyone built tea plantations in the outer mountain, and only a few residents lived in the inner mountain.

Probably because of the sparse flow of people, the trees in the inner mountains are more luxuriant, towering into the clouds, obscuring the clouds.

The grass on the ground was knee-high, making it difficult to walk.

"It's good to wear a lot of clothes this winter, but if it's summer, walking here barefoot, I'm afraid that even if you don't get bitten by mosquitoes, you will have to be cut by weeds." Corot said.

"Well, but it's rare to be here in the winter, especially after those disappearances." The royal father said.

"Didn't you find a single child? Not even bones? Qin Bai asked.

The royal father shook his head, pursed his mouth again, and sighed: "Hey, if there were bones, these disappearances would not have been so weird by the villagers." ”

"Here. . . Is there really no mountain beard? Corot asked, craned his neck.

The farther he walked into the inner mountain, the more he felt the wind gusting in the clouds.

"Smack!"

The royal father slapped Corot's back with a palm and said with a smile: "Young man, how can you be a detective if you are so feudal and superstitious?" ”

"Huh." Corot laughed awkwardly twice, and turned his head to glance at Qin Li.

Qin Qi met Corot's eyes and blinked, as if asking: What are you looking at me?

Scold!

Looking at Qin Li's innocent appearance, Corot sneered in his heart.

"Here we are."

The royal father suddenly grabbed Corot and whispered.

Not far ahead, there is a small courtyard built with a fence, which is not large and surrounded by large trees, which is particularly closed.

The fence is made of a variety of messy wood, which looks a little messy, but it complements the haphazard wooden houses.

It is a house made of logs and turns, but mainly logs, with a linoleum tile roof covered with moss, and the gate is made of a few wooden doors, which are neatly tied to the fence.

There is no window on this side facing the courtyard, but there is a black linoleum cloth hanging on the original window hole as a shield, which is considered a window.

There were a few clothes hanging in the yard to dry, and in the corner there was a simple pigsty with three pigs, all of them thin and looking malnourished.

The pig trough was piled with leftover feed, but there was still some crimson flesh and bone in between, looming in between.

There are a few chickens running around in the yard, is all over the ground, some are newly pulled, and some are already dry, and when the wind blows, the sour smell of is flying in the wind and drifting freely.

"Ou! It stinks worse than my baba. Corot covered his nose, and the whole person was not good.

"Whew... It's so unhygienic, these are almost fossilized. "The royal father can't stand it anymore.

"It tastes weird." Qin Li frowned and slowly walked towards the courtyard.

"It's very strange, the smell of and the smell from the pigsty, sour and pungent, only this one, it's rare to meet after expiration!" Corot pinched his nose and said angrily.

Qin Li ignored him, stepped on the ground cautiously, dodged the trap, and walked towards the pigsty.

"There's no one in the house, right?" Corot pointed to the room and asked the king's father.

The royal father shook his head, "No one, our movement is so big, if he was here, he would have run out a long time ago." ”

"If he comes back and runs into us, he won't do anything with us, right?" Corot asked.

"Probably not, probably smirking. Except for the time when he attacked Xiaowen, showing a terrifying expression that flashed by, other times, he saw that everyone was smirking, and he didn't know what he was laughing at. The royal father said.

"In the world of fools, when you see normal people, I'm afraid most of you are thinking, look at that big stupid hat!" Corot quipped.

"Haha!" The royal father laughed when he heard this.

"Hand me the stick."

Qin Li stood in front of the pig trough and turned to Corot and said.

"This one?" Corot gestured to a wooden stick standing next to the fence.

"I'll do it."

The royal father walked over, took the wooden stick, tiptoed to avoid the, walked towards the pigsty, and reached out to hand the wooden stick to Qin Li.

"Thank you."

Qin Li took the wooden stick, took the thick end, and stretched the narrow end into the pig trough for a while.

"Old Qin, what are you turning over? You won't even let go of what the pig eats? Corot craned his neck and looked at the pigsty.

"Brother Wang, do you still feed pigs with raw meat?" Qin Li turned his head and looked at the royal father.

"Not usually, what's wrong?"

The royal father stood beside the pig trough and looked down at the crimson flesh and bones that had been gouged out by Qin Qi with a wooden stick.

"What is this?" The royal father was a little puzzled.

Qin Li poked the piece of flesh and bones that were still glowing red with a wooden stick, and said, "The strange smell comes from these flesh and bones. ”

The royal father lowered his head and sniffed vigorously, "It's quite fishy, it looks like a pig's bone." ”

"Well, it's also possible that it's human bones." Qin Qi frowned, and stared at the piece of flesh and bone.

"What?"

Corot and the royal father were shocked at the same time.
