Chapter 20: Into the Well

"...... Grandmother? ”

"I told you to go back to the city in the morning, but you just didn't listen, and now you're trapped here!"

"It's okay grandma, Officer Zhang said that it would be dug up in three or four days, and it just so happened that I stayed to attend the wedding of my eldest sister. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Don't believe that policeman, he's here to take revenge in the village, don't be deceived by him."

"Do you mean Officer Zhang? I already know his identity, don't worry, Officer Zhang is not the murderer. ”

"That's not good, you will follow the old village chief from tomorrow, and no one else will believe it, remember."

Xu Tianmu sent his grandmother's curved back away, although the screen window has been sewn, but it has not been installed, it is indeed very hot not to open the window in the hot summer, just as Xu Tian was about to open the window and install the screen, suddenly a thought flashed through Xu Tian's mind.

On the night of Xu Fugui's death, after Xu Tian was woken up by the girl's humming, the room was not so dark at that time, and the black shadow that flashed outside could be seen very clearly.

Xu Tian couldn't help but think in his heart, there seemed to be something missing in this room, but everything seemed very natural, and Xu Tian couldn't figure out what was awkward in his heart.

Knock knock knock......

Vanilla stood outside the window and knocked on the glass a few times, Xu Tian wanted to go out, but Vanilla made a gesture to Xu Tian, signaling Xu Tian not to move.

"Why are you here?"

"I'll send you a walkie-talkie, it's easier for us to talk, it's a headache that there is no signal in the village."

"That's a good thing, do you still have it? Give Officer Zhang one too. ”

"Do you think I'm a rich woman? This one is worth thousands of yuan, if it weren't for the convenience of handling the case, I wouldn't be willing to give it to you. ”

"You came just in time, let me ask you, the night Xu Fugui died, did you see Xu Fugui jump into the well? Didn't you see anyone else near the well? ”

"I'm not sure who jumped into the well, but I really didn't see anyone else."

"There is another question, when Hongmei died twenty years ago, did you see Xu Fugui not entering Hongmei's house?"

"I'm pretty sure how I could have forgotten such an important day."

"What did you do after Xu Fugui ran away? Continuing to stare at the house or doing something else? ”

"How can I remember this clearly, just pick and ask what you want to ask."

"I imagined before on the small bridge that there should be a person hiding in Hongmei's house at that time, but now I think that is unrealistic, if Xu Fugui saw Hongmei being killed by others, then why didn't Xu Fugui point out who did it at that time? Since Xu Fugui didn't enter Hongmei's house, it means that no matter what purpose Xu Fugui had at that time to find Hongmei, he didn't achieve it, so Xu Fugui didn't have any handle to fall into the house, Xu Fugui didn't need to hide who was the murderer, but if the murderer chased him out at that time, Xu Fugui should feel that he couldn't protect himself, let alone say that Xu Fugui didn't need to hide who was the murderer. ”

"What the hell do you mean? Was there no one else in my aunt's house at the time? ”

"No, there must have been someone in the house at that time, Hongmei did not hesitate to fake her death to support the old village chief, there must be her reason, but I can't confirm it now, and I can't confirm my reasoning until the mountain road is dug up and I go to the town."

"You don't have to hide the case from me, I'm on your side."

"Actually, I also deduced according to logic, there is no evidence to show that my inference is correct, and to solve a case, you have to use evidence to speak, and it is not a good detective to infer out of thin air, so you should wait for me to confirm it before telling you."

"What kind of mystery is it, in order to find you to uncover the truth twenty years ago, do you know how much I suffered? I hurried back to the village after delivering the courier to you, and it cost me three months' salary to buy this walkie-talkie, and now you don't believe me, it's really disappointing to me. ”

Vanilla turned her head and ran in the direction of her neighbor's house, and by the time Xu Tian chased her out, Vanilla was already climbing the ten-meter-high courtyard wall.

Xu Tian was amazed that in less than thirty seconds, vanilla could run so fast.

At this moment, Xu Tian suddenly felt that something was wrong, on the night of Xu Fugui's death, the door of his grandmother's house seemed to be pulled outside, Xu Tian remembered very clearly at that time, just a light touch, and the door opened.

But today is different, it is more difficult to open the door, Xu Tian carefully checked the door, and found nothing special, not even a trace.

was already about to fall asleep, but after such a toss of vanilla, Xu Tian's sleepiness was reduced a lot.

Xu Tian stood at the position of the dummy in the courtyard that day, looked around again, and found that the position of the dummy was very clever, Xu Tian faced his room, and the position corresponded to the first window on the side, which was the position where Xu Tian looked outside that day.

Then Xu Tian faced the neighbor's house, and visually, the position of the dummy and the neighbor's well were a vertical line.

Xu Tian trotted over to the neighbor's house, and then pressed the walkie-talkie.

"Vanilla vanilla, please reply when you hear it."

Zizi ......

"What?"

"Can you see me now by leaning on the wall of your house and looking in the direction of the well?"

After about half a minute, there was a call from Vanilla's side.

"Yes, what are you doing at the scene of the crime in the middle of the night? Did you find anything? ”

"I want to go to the bottom of the well now, can you come and help me?"

"What? You are crazy? ”

"I just want to confirm that you just have to watch from above, I'm afraid someone will come and wreak havoc."

"Then you wait for me!"

Vanilla put the walkie-talkie on her waist and scurried down very vigorously, and Vanilla's rock climbing skills really gave Xu Tian a jump.

"Fortunately, the rope is still there, if the rope is accidentally broken, you can quickly call someone to save me, if there are outsiders who come to sabotage, you will go directly to call Officer Zhang and the old village chief."

"Don't worry! With me, no one in this village should be able to wreak havoc. ”

Xu Tian tied the remaining rope on the ground around his waist, tied the other end to the raised stone next to the well, supported his body on all fours, put the walkie-talkie in his jacket pocket, and walked down the well with a flashlight in his mouth.

The inside of the well had not yet been trimmed with cement, and the uneven walls were easy to climb, and it didn't take long for Xu Tian to descend to the bottom of the well.

Xu Tian shone the flashlight towards the bottom of the well, and found that there was a large pool of blackened blood at the bottom of the well, Xu Tian walked down a few steps, and at this time a few stones fell from above, Xu Tian shone the flashlight to the wall, and found that there were many rocks around, and it turned out that most of the underground in the village were hard rocks, no wonder there was a shortage of water.

Standing in the well, Xu Tian took out the walkie-talkie.

"Vanilla Vanilla ......"

Suddenly, Xu Tian felt so light on his body, and then the long rope fell down from it, all of which smashed on Xu Tian's body, Xu Tian was dumbfounded, and the herbs on it were gone, leaving only a walkie-talkie next to the well that kept making Xu Tian's calls.
