From yesterday's bumpy afternoon to a busy night at night, the overworked people slept directly until 12 o'clock at noon, until Lao Zhang and his wife came to call for lunch, they got up from the bed sleepily.

Lao Zhang and his wife didn't think so, only thinking that the children in the city were more pampered, and if they were in the countryside, how could there be young people like them, eating, drinking, and having fun all day long, and sleeping until noon.

It's just that these thoughts are only put in my heart, after all, this group of people have very good personalities, and they are generous, plus they have good cigarettes and good wine, Lao Zhang has no opinion on them, and he smiled and suggested that they go for a walk around the neighborhood during dinner.

Everyone went out and went straight to the west of the village where yesterday's accident occurred.

Due to the fact that there are not many outsiders in Dongping Village, their appearance naturally attracted the attention of the villagers. In addition, there is such an American as Dominic, and along the way, everywhere they passed, many people ran out to see the excitement.

"Huo, this foreign devil has so green eyes, just like a cat!"

"Be quiet, don't be heard......"

"It's okay, foreign devils can't understand our rural dialect, what are you afraid of!"

Listening to the whispers of the villagers behind him, Dominic's heart couldn't cry or laugh. And Dai Shikai and the others also felt that it was too flamboyant to go on like this, so after walking for a while, they stopped in front of an open crop field.

"Golden Retriever, you also saw it, now you are like a big star, and you are the focus wherever you go." Dai Shikai said to him.

Wang Yichen and the others couldn't help but feel very funny when they saw Dominic's cramped face: "No way, this is a rural area after all, and it is estimated that many people have lived for most of their lives, and they have never seen a living foreigner." ”

Dominic pinched his eyebrows with a little headache: "I'll follow you again, it's too eye-catching." I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to go to the west of the village to investigate and collect evidence...... Why don't you do it, and I'll leave the investigation to you, as for me...... Just walk around the village, and if you're lucky, you might find new clues. ”

"That's fine, it's really inconvenient to have too many people. For the sake of safety, little fat man, you should also follow him, and contact him at any time if you have something. Dai Shikai pointed to Chu Shuguang and said.

After everyone reached an agreement, they split up and took action.

Taking advantage of Dominic's attention to attract the attention of the villagers, Dai Shikai and two others walked through the farmland and made a long detour, and after making sure that there were no people, they sneaked to the west of the village.

"This is probably the sorghum field where the body was found." Wang Yichen pointed to a piece of farmland not far away, where crops had been trampled on a large scale compared to other places.

As they had thought, there were no valuable clues to the scene of the corpse except for a crooked crop.

And this is less than three hundred meters away from the Li family's house, Xu Qing and Wang Yichen are still looking for clues in the crops, but Ayina noticed that Dai Shikai is already looking around.

When he looked somewhere, he quickly locked his gaze there.

It was a small abandoned farm yard with stacks of wheat straw stacked on the low wall.

"Go there and have a look." Dai Shikai's eyes lit up, and he immediately beckoned everyone to act with him. Although Wang Yichen didn't know what the other party was thinking, out of belief in him, he also walked over.

This deserted small courtyard is not far from the Li family, because of the disrepair, the gate of the yard has been dilapidated, it seems that as long as you gently tug, this gate can be directly removed.

Wang Yichen walked to the gate of the courtyard and was just about to push the door, but he heard Dai Shikai behind him say lightly: "Wrong." ”

"Huh? Isn't the clue in this room? He was a little surprised.

"What I want to check is here." Dai Shikai pointed to the low wall, and following his line of sight, Wang Yichen also noticed that something was wrong.

The wheat straw that had been neatly piled up was made a mess by someone, and there were many miscellaneous ears scattered on the ground, among which the pile near the ladder was the most damaged, and half of the haystack was dented.

"I see!" Xu Qing couldn't help but light up when he saw such a scene.

He looked at Dai Shikai excitedly and pulled up the photos taken last night from his mobile phone.

"Well, that's what it means." Dai Shikai nodded, while the other two were confused.

Seeing that they were puzzled, Xu Qing opened his mouth to explain: "Look at the abrasions on the thighs of the corpse, and the marks on this haystack...... If you guessed correctly, the child should have climbed the ladder to the wall and jumped off it again. The abrasions on his thighs only come out when a man sits on a wall and jumps down with all his might. ”

Ayina remembered her experience of climbing over the wall last night, and suddenly realized: "Indeed, the width of this wall and the length of the wound are completely consistent, imagine it boldly...... He must have seen something, jumped out in a panic, and fled all the way to the crops, but was unfortunately killed. ”

"You're right." Wang Yichen said, picking up a broken telescope from the ground in the corner of the wall: "This child should have climbed to the wall alone last night and saw something with the telescope." ”

"No, you're wrong about one thing." Dai Shikai pointed to the ground and corrected Wang Yichen's speculation: "It's two." On the night of the incident, the child had a companion. ”

On the ground near the ladder in the corner, some shallow footprints can be faintly seen. The footprints are about the same size, but judging by the pattern, they should be two pairs of shoes.

"Are there two of them? But in the morning, only one body was found......" Xu Qing held his chin and pondered: "Either that child has also been killed, but the body has not been found yet." ”

"But in the countryside, if a child doesn't return all night, the parents and other villagers won't sit idly by. We walked all the way this afternoon and did not see anyone looking for the missing child. Wang Yichen said: "So, another eyewitness is very likely to be alive!" ”

"Find a way to find that kid, before the ghost does it." Dai Shikai pushed his glasses and looked at the Li family not far away.

In a small farmhouse somewhere, a woman in her early thirties was half-crouching behind the kitchen stove fanning her fan, watching the fire carefully. The pot was gurgling, and the air was filled with a bitter smell of medicine, and the woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, estimating that the time was almost up, and walked to the stove and put the yellow-brown potion in the pot into the bowl.

She took the bowl and entered the room, looking at the child lying on the bed, the woman frowned, and shouted softly: "Huazi, wake up, come and drink medicine." ”

The woman didn't notice that as she pushed the door into the room, a pair of small feet in embroidered shoes followed her into the room.
