I leaned on the side of the police car and had nothing to do, and took out my mobile phone in my trouser pocket only to find that there were 20 missed calls.

My mother's phone call was from early morning to noon, and I didn't answer any of them, and she must have been worried that it was over.

I hurriedly dialed back, and as soon as the phone rang, I heard her roaring voice: "Yancheng! Where are you going crazy in the morning!! ”

"Mother, Brother Lu and I are here in Tieshi Village, there is a case, it will be over immediately, and I will be back soon."

"What's the case? Whose chicken is lost or the pig is gone, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the first hexagram whip has not been released. ”

"Homicide, the old Zhao family here in Tieshi Village, do you recognize it?"

"The old Zhao family in the west of the village or in the east of the village?" When my mother heard that it was a homicide, her anger subsided a little.

"I don't know, it's Zhao Baojun, his daughter-in-law's name is Zhang Hong."

"Oh, I know, my sister died, it's not easy to be a widow for five years, it's their family, okay~~ That mother knows, you and Officer Lu pay attention to safety over there, don't let your mother worry."

With my mother's understanding, the stone hanging in my heart fell to the ground, and as soon as I put down the phone, I heard another miserable howl on the Prince River in the distance.

Zhao Baojun peeled off the white cloth covering the corpse that sank in the water, and cried bitterly: "Juan~~ Juanzi, why are you lying here?" You reply to my brother, what are you doing!! ”

The police officers present were a little confused by this scene.

One is Zhao Baojun's daughter-in-law, and the other is his sister.

I jumped down from the river embankment and ran to Lu Lingyun's side, grabbed his arm and asked, "Is it really Zhao Baojuan?" ”

He frowned and nodded in a low voice.

"Holy! Who did the old Zhao family offend during the New Year? ”

"Marine! Captain Fang asked me to come over and ask if you need to go to Tieshi Village together? A small police officer from the Chunyang City Public Security Bureau came over and asked.

"Go, definitely go!" I didn't wait for Lu Lingyun to answer, and hurriedly said.

This case is so strange that I began to waver as a non-believer, especially when I recalled that I heard her at my aunt's house yesterday, and I felt even more inconceivable.

She said: Zhao Baojuan is coming back soon, but she is not going the right way. Although it was not fully clarified, it was salvaged from the water when I looked at it today.

Evil, too evil.

Lu Lingyun and I took the police car of the Chunyang City Bureau to Tieshi Village, and when there was no one around, I asked in a low voice: "Brother Lu, do you also think this case is strange?" ”

Lu Lingyun stretched out his hand and patted the top of my head, and replied: "Xiaoyan has been exposed to few cases, it is normal to feel strange, I have been doing criminal investigation work for more than ten years, and I encounter one or two cases that are difficult to explain every year. As long as the evidence is clear, no matter how bizarre it is, it is still the truth. We can't find out if there is a mystery behind these things, we just do what we have to do. ”

"What should we do?"

Lu Lingyun took out a cigarette case from his coat pocket as he walked, held the only remaining one to his lips, lit it and said, "Well, justice is still given to the deceased." ”

I listened quietly and took note of his words.

Along the village road we found Zhao Baojuan's home, the house is a little dilapidated, half of the iron door fell to the ground and could not be pushed open, the door was hung with rusty iron chains, and the lock did not know if it could be opened.

Officers from several technical sections had already begun to tear down the broken half of the door, and soon we were in the depressed and dilapidated yard.

Red bricks and green tiles, wooden windows are sealed with plastic sheeting in two layers, a gust of wind blows, and the plastic 'rustles'.

"This kind of house is rarely seen in the village now, you see that our house is plastered with white porcelain wall tiles, windproof and warm, that is five years ago my father specially asked workers to build, so it seems that Zhao Baojuan's house is really difficult." I explained behind Lu Lingyun.

He doesn't know much about us, so it's easier for him to sort out the case with me.

Opened the door and entered the house, the stove and kitchen utensils were in this small hall of less than five square meters, the pitch-black oil stains covered the roof, and there was a room next to it, Lu Lingyun lowered his head and barely passed.

The kang is covered with embroidered quilts, an old-fashioned pineapple cabinet is placed on one side of the kang, there is no decent furniture, and on the wall hangs a three-year-old wall calendar and glass picture frames.

The photos are in color and black and white, a family of three, and a child standing alone by the Prince River.

I saw Lu Lingyun pick up a piece of paper from the table in the corner, and he carefully read the words on it.

I leaned over and watched along.

Elder brother:

I'm gone, I haven't been back in town for a long time this time, you don't have to worry about me. There is time to help me call the cub, it is not easy for him to be outside alone.

You also drink less, play cards less, and pay attention to your body.

Juanzi

"This is..."

Lu Lingyun handed me the paper and shook his head, he may be the same as I thought.

This is not a simple parting letter, but more like a suicide note.

Lu Lingyun opened the cabinet on the kang and pulled out a black suitcase from inside, in addition to a few commonly used clothes, a medical certificate and receipts were also found in the dark compartment of the box.

Zhao Baojuan was diagnosed with syphilis, with a few pages in the middle of her receipt documenting what had happened to her over the years.

Five years ago, her husband died in an accident, and she couldn't repay the medical expenses and car loans, she told her that the earth and the earth should not be ineffective, she borrowed 20,000 yuan from her brother, thinking that she could hide it from her sister-in-law Zhang Hong, but she still found out.

Zhang Hong persuaded her to work in the city, saying that the money over there would come quickly, and the 20,000 yuan plus interest would be earned back in a few years. But that job was not a serious job at all, I started drinking with people and finally slept with people.

Zhao Baojuan can't go back to the past, and what's even more terrifying is that no matter how much money she makes, she can't pay off the money she owes Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong threatened her again and again, and if she didn't return it, she would tell her about sitting on the stage, so that her brother would be embarrassed, and the old Zhao family would not be able to raise their heads in the village.

One woman forced another woman to a dead end, and finally Zhao Baojuan chose to jump from the icy Prince River, her body was sealed in the river and did not flow far away, perhaps it was her unwillingness to take away the people who hurt her.

"It's not a thing! This Zhang Hong, deserve! I deserve to die! "I angrily put the paper on the table that revealed the truth.

Lu Lingyun has just seen it, he is still calm, but his face is not very good.

"Brother Lu, you said this case, you are angry with me."

"Life is like this sometimes, you feel helpless about some things, so the bottom line is very important, you have to remember that no matter what situation you come in, some things you can't do are just can't be done." Lu Lingyun comforted me.

"There's a saying that says, 'If you don't believe it, look up, and the heavens will bypass whom.'" Zhang Hong: This is retribution. Pity the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family, who were deceived by her. ”

Lu Lingyun nodded, looked at me and said, "The case is over, we should go back." ”

"Well, Brother Lu, let's go back."

"Okay."

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the country road, and I didn't feel a trace of cold because of the winter wind, as long as I was around this man, it always seemed to be full of warmth.
