Chapter 18: Networking
Xu Tian took the flashlight and walked in front, bringing the old village chief and Huang Quan into the village committee, and at this time Officer Zhang was still sitting on the steps in front of the village committee. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Officer Zhang saw Xu Tian and them walking in, he hurriedly greeted them as if he had seen relatives, and said, "You guys are finally here." ”
Xu Tian glanced around and said, "No one has been here today, right?" ”
"No, this coffin is like a barricade, who dares to come! I'm panicking here. ”
"Now we're going to study who came to the village committee last night to play the tape, and go in and talk."
Xu Tian checked the tape recorder, looked at the doors and windows of the village committee, and said to the old village chief:
"The village committee didn't keep anyone last night, right? Who has the keys? ”
"I've got it."
"Is it possible that someone else copied the key?"
"It's impossible to say, I don't come often when I'm fine, our village committee is just a decoration, and there is nothing important in ordinary times, and several village cadres are also titled, and almost no one comes."
"Do you have all your keys with you?"
"Sometimes I keep it at home, so I don't know for sure, maybe someone stole my keys."
"Did you have the keys with you yesterday?"
"Bring it, when we came to the village committee, I subconsciously touched the key, in my pocket."
Xu Tian checked the door lock of the village committee and found that it was the old-fashioned ring door lock.
"Let's talk about the little girl who hums the ballad, who is that?"
When the old village chief heard Xu Tian ask the little girl, his shoulders couldn't help but tremble, Xu Tian saw it clearly, and the old village chief's eyes trembled slightly.
"That'...... The little girl was the younger sister of Dashuang, who fell seriously ill and died seven years ago. ”
"Big Shuang's sister? He's dead? ”
"It's also an infectious disease, and the flu was very prevalent in the last few years."
"Was the little girl brought back from the city by her mother, or was she born in the village?"
"They were brought back from the city, and when they came back, the little girl looked like she was two or three years old."
"Do little girls often hum ballads?"
"It's often sung, but it's not a ballad, it's a minor key written by Dashuang's mother, which incorporates elements of opera, so it sounds a little infiltrating, and it's like a ballad you said."
"But the ballad has no lyrics, only a tune, has the little girl ever sung the lyrics?"
"There shouldn't be, every time I saw the child in those years, she was humming and chirping endlessly, it was okay during the day, and at night if Dashuang took her sister to walk at night, if she ran into them, everyone was afraid, just like a ghost tune, by the way, especially Hua Gu, she was very afraid of that tune."
"I'm going to ask Aunt Hua later, before that, everyone do me a favor and carry the coffin containing Xu Sanye at the door to my second master's house."
"What are you going to do?"
"The scene is repeated, and I want to confirm Officer Zhang's testimony."
The four of them worked together to carry the coffin to the courtyard of the second master's house, and Xu Tian lit all the lights that were on yesterday, and it looked no different from last night.
"Yesterday was supposed to be the village where Officer Zhang returned first, can you tell me more about the scene when you saw me kneeling in front of the coffin?"
"Yesterday I just glanced inadvertently when I passed by, I had already walked over, but I felt that your back was a little different from you, so I took two steps back and looked again, at this time I felt as if someone was walking this way behind me, so I quickly slipped away, after all, I was sent by you to follow Xu Sanye A little weak-hearted, I am afraid of being bumped into."
"Do you remember what lights were on?"
"There are two white lanterns outside the gate, and the courtyard is pitch black."
The old village chief also agreed: "Yes, I also remember that this is the case, when I walked over, I was still thinking, isn't this kid Xu Tian afraid?" There are no lights in the courtyard. ”
"Do you remember exactly when you passed by here?" Xu Tian stared at Officer Zhang and asked.
"It must have been after midnight, almost not a little."
"Do you remember?" Xu Tian turned his gaze to the old village chief again.
"I was about one o'clock, and when I got home, it wasn't yet 1:20, because the road was too dark, and I walked slowly."
Xu Tian leaned his back against the coffin, staring at the old village chief and Officer Zhang with vacant eyes.
"Did you think of anything? Isn't that back I saw really you? Officer Zhang asked.
"I still can't say this yet, but I seem to know how Hua Gu got into the coffin, and where my second master's body went."
"Tell me, where did Xu Laoer's body go?" The old village chief asked excitedly.
Xu Tian turned around and turned his back to the old village chief and Officer Zhang, and his tone was much slower than just now. "Do you need to talk about that? It must have been buried in the soil by a landslide, this murderer hates my second master very much, and I have a very important idea now, I need to go back to Dashuang's house again, the old village chief, you go and call Hua Gu, it doesn't matter if you scare her properly, Officer Zhang accompanied me to find Dashuang, Brother Huangquan bothered you to stay here and help us guard the coffin. ”
The four of them acted separately, at the gate, Xu Tian and Officer Zhang walked briskly towards the big double house, the old village chief went in the opposite direction to find Hua Gu, and Huang Quan, who stayed in the second master's house, felt a little scared, squatting in the corner and watching the coffin.
Xu Tian and Officer Zhang walked quickly, the flashlights shook and flickered, and the road in the village was very bumpy, and a small crater appeared every now and then.
"What the hell are you thinking? It wasn't you who I saw yesterday? ”
"Don't ask, the situation is very serious, I have to figure out one thing, and now the network of the whole case is almost opened."
"What the hell did you find in the Big Twin Family? Does it have anything to do with Hongmei's case twenty years ago? ”
"It's not just related, I've figured out the cause of Hongmei's death back then, do you remember Hongmei's niece back then? When you made a transcript of the people related to the Hongmei case, you omitted an important witness, and you didn't ask the little girl under what circumstances she recorded it, don't you think it's strange? A little girl who grew up in the mountains for eight years, where did she get a tape recorder? And who helped her record that tape? ”
"Are you talking about vanilla? At that time, when the transcript was made, the vanilla happened to have a fever, and we did not disturb the child's recuperation out of humanity, is this wrong? ”
"You are still lying, and I can't see why Vanilla is so protective of you that she took the risk of being discovered by me to replace the courier you sent me? Your relationship with Vanilla is absolutely extraordinary, although I can't confirm it yet, but I know that Vanilla is not Hongmei's niece at all, and you know that, right? ”
Xu Tian and Officer Zhang stopped one after another, and the two fell into an embarrassing situation.
