Lu Qing's words resonated with several other people. The group continued to walk a few hundred meters and saw a large group of people standing at the entrance of the village. Qian Weiguo, the village head, organized the villagers to greet the government officials at the door early. This time, we must serve these ancestors well! Once the government project is approved and the funding is granted, it will be much easier for the villagers to travel in the future, and the village will be able to improve its poor and backward appearance. Of course, not only that, but as the village head, he can also quietly make a fortune from it, and when he thought of this, Qian Weiguo's old face smiled.

When Lu Qing and his party walked to the entrance of the village, Qian Weiguo was the first to greet them. "Welcome, welcome! Comrades of the government, hard work! I am Qian Weiguo, the head of Izumo Village, and I would like to thank the government for their help on behalf of Izumo Village! Lu Qing responded with a smile: "Where, this is what we should do." This time, on behalf of the government, my colleagues and I came to the village to inspect the terrain and make some planning. When we go back and submit the report, the government will send more people to the village to carry out the road opening project. Hang Guang echoed: "With the highway, it will be much easier for the villagers to go to the town." ”

After hearing the words of Lu Qing and others, the other villagers seemed to see the hope of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, and they were all excited. At this moment, Lu Qing and the others are simply shining living bodhisattvas in their eyes!

"Come on, come on, let's not stand and talk. Several comrades came to my house to have a meal, drink saliva and rest. Our village is relatively simple, comrades, don't mind! Qian Weiguo said as he led everyone towards his house. Lu Qing and the others observed the situation in the village as they walked: Izumo Village was indeed very backward, and most of the people still lived in rough tile houses, which looked dilapidated. The slightly wealthier ones don't look much better, except for a few chickens in the yard. They don't know that this is already very good in the village, and most families are usually reluctant to eat eggs.

The village chief's house was built on the riverside at the end of the village, and although it was also a tiled house, it was much larger than the homes of other villagers, and it looked neat and quaint. The structure of his house is in the form of a "hui", with guest rooms on the east and west sides, and a hall on the north side. There is an old tree in the middle of the house, and there is an ancient well under the tree. Because the shade of the trees is towering, it makes the village chief's house very cool.

However, when Lu Qing stepped into the threshold of the village chief's house, a cold and terrifying feeling struck his heart. Not only Lu Qing, but several other people also felt this aura. This feeling...... It's similar to the precursor to the appearance of a ghost! "What's wrong? Are you too tired from the journey? Why are the faces of several comrades suddenly so ugly? Qian Weiguo turned his head and couldn't help but be a little puzzled when he saw Lu Qing and the others not coming in at the door.

"Oh, it's okay, village chief, can you get us some water? Everyone should have trekked hard under the scorching sun, and now they are suffering from heat stroke. Lu Qing reacted quickly. Of course it's no problem, come on, everyone comes into the house and sits, and they all stand outside the door and politely. Lu Qingqing and everyone nodded, and they were the first to walk into the village chief's house. Seeing this, the others followed. After entering the village chief's house, the cold aura quickly disappeared.

Although Qian Weiguo felt that there was something wrong with the few people in front of him, he thought about it and thought that it might be a civil servant in a big city who had never suffered hardship, so he didn't take it to heart. He turned around and shouted into the house, "Mother-in-law, the government is coming to our house!" Is the meal ready? "Come on! You let the comrades rest for a while! Smelling the smell of food coming from the house, everyone didn't have any appetite, their minds were on the terrifying breath just now.

"Comrades sit down first, I'll pour water." After Qian Weiguo left, Hang Guang asked Lu Qing nervously: "Brother Qing, how did you feel just now...... Is it a ghost? Li Wenqiao patted his proud chest with palpitations: "It's really scared to death." Is there a ghost in this house? Yang Ting also nodded in agreement: "Brother Qing, it seems that the village chief's family has clues!" ”

Lu Qing: "That's right, this should be a hint." It seems that the bride's death is inseparable from the village chief's family. We can start our investigation here. Now don't act rashly and act on the opportunity. "Because it was the first mission, the two newcomers listened carefully to the analysis of others on the side, and did not interject." The meal is ready! Let's eat! Li Su beckoned everyone to the living room with the dishes.

It can be seen that the village chief has put a lot of thought into greeting everyone. There are more than a dozen dishes on the table, including meat and vegetarian dishes, fish and meat. In order to satisfy everyone's food, Qian Weiguo was ruthless and killed all the expensive old hens in the family to stew soup.

You must know this, many people in the village can't even eat such a sumptuous dish for the New Year: scrambled eggs with leeks, smoked bacon, home-cooked tofu, steamed sea bass, stir-fried fragrant dried meat, hen soup...... Although they are all ordinary dishes of the farmhouse, the advantage is that the ingredients are fresh and clean, coupled with Li Su's cooking skills, everyone eats them with gusto. "Aunt Li, your skills are really good!" Yang Ting drank the soup and couldn't help but praise.

"Hahahaha, don't dislike it. Makeshift eating, makeshift eating! Li Su waved his hand modestly. Seriously, Auntie, your cooking is so delicious! Fan Huan also chimed in. Qian Weiguo said with a smile: "My mother-in-law, I worked in a big hotel in the town when I was young, and my skills are quite passable." Comrades, just get used to eating! Lu Qing smiled and said to the village chief: "You are too polite, don't call us comrades, my name is Lu Qing, these are my colleagues......" After that, he introduced the names of the others. After the meal, the village chief enthusiastically arranged accommodation for everyone. Although everyone still had lingering feelings about the cold atmosphere of the village chief's house, at Lu Qing's insistence, they still lived in the village chief's house. Of course, the houses of other villagers could not accommodate them.

Qian Weiguo and Li Su lived in the east room, and the two rooms in the west were divided between Lu Qing and others. Li Wenqiao, Yang Ting, and Tang Shiyu live in one room, and four men, Lu Qing, Fan Huan, Hang Guang, and Wei Mian, live in one room. Lu Qing told the village chief that he and his colleagues were a little tired from the early days and the long trek and wanted to take a nap. The village chief understood and promised not to disturb their rest.

Inside the room, everyone gathered around and whispered a discussion. "Captain, did you think the body was hidden in the village chief's house?" Yang Ting spoke first.

"I don't think eight or nine are far from ten! Such an obvious hint that the village chief's family has a great relationship with Miao Yuxue's death! Fan Huan continued. Hang Guang: "I agree with Brother Fan's statement!" Li Wenqiao also nodded in agreement. Tang Shiyu and her husband Wei Mian did not say a word and remained silent.

After listening to everyone's analysis, Lu Qing spoke: "You can't talk to death yet. After we came to the village, we only came into contact with the village chief's house, and other places are still to be investigated. But you're right, the village chief must have nothing to do with this mission. Wei Mian, Tang Shiyu, do you have anything to say? "Lu Qing was helped by Xu Zhen in the first mission, and he also understood that it was necessary to train newcomers and not make them rely too much on the elderly.

Hearing Lu Qing's words, the two were a little surprised. Wei Mian paused for a moment, and didn't know what to say.

"I think the captain is right. Although the village chief is the main suspect, we should start the investigation with other villagers. Tang Shiyu opened his mouth to break the silence.

Lu Qing nodded: "Shiyu is right. But as outsiders, if we go straight to the point from the beginning, it will inevitably be a bit abrupt and may arouse the suspicion of the villagers! So next, we need to try to get in touch with the villagers as much as possible and try to get useful information. I'll group it first: I, Tang Shiyu, and Wei Mian in a group. Fan Huan, Hang Guang, Yang Ting, Li Wenqiao group. Remember: time is pressing, but safety comes first! Two boys, protect the women in the team. If something is wrong, be sure to evacuate quickly! ”

Lu Qing's grouping is very fair, and the others have no opinions. The two newcomers are grateful for the results of this grouping. Lu Qing is undoubtedly the most secure in the team.

Li Wenqiao was a little unhappy because Lu Qing did not assign himself to his group. She was the first to stand up and stretch, and accidentally glanced out the window, only to find a pair of eyes that had been watching them in the room!
