"Officer Zhang, if you really want me to successfully solve the cause of Hongmei's death twenty years ago, you shouldn't hide anything from me, and now I urgently need your help. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"I didn't hide anything from you, even I don't know what you're guessing about me now, I only know that Vanilla is Hongmei's niece, I really don't know anything else, just now you said that Vanilla replaced my courier, I was also surprised."
"Okay, now let's go to Dashuang's house to see the photos of Hongmei, you have to identify it carefully."
Xu Tian and Officer Zhang came to the door of Dashuang's house, this time Xu Tian knocked on the door for a long time before he heard an answer inside, and Dashuang opened the door with some disheveled clothes, as if he had just gotten up.
"Did you disturb your rest?"
"It's okay, I thought it was nothing, I was just about to go to sleep, you guys have something to do when you come back?"
"We'd like to take a closer look at the photos on the wall, okay?"
"Come in!"
Dashuang was still very polite, and when Xu Tian went in, he found Huang Wupo still curled up in the corner, looking very scared, and her eyes were very frightened.
"What's wrong with Grandma Huang? Still scared? ”
"Oh! It's an old problem, my grandmother has been like this since a few years ago, she is often scared, and she always talks nonsense, don't be surprised. ”
As soon as Dashuang's words fell, Huang Wupo wrapped the quilt tightly and shouted at Officer Zhang.
"There are ghosts...... There's a ghost out there...... The police quickly helped me get rid of the ghost, I didn't dare to sleep, and when I opened my eyes, she stuck to the glass and looked at me, and the little slut came back...... Help me! ”
"Grandma!" Dashuang climbed onto the kang and hugged Huang Wupo tightly. "Don't talk nonsense, people are guests, you will scare people like this."
"I didn't talk nonsense, the village chief was here just now, I didn't dare to speak, he would say that I was superstitious, but I knew that there were really ghosts in our house, and they would come out every night, just ...... Just outside, Hongmei was staring at us against the glass...... Look! ”
Huang Wupo pointed to the glass window without curtains, Xu Tian and Officer Zhang subconsciously turned their heads to look, but there was no ghost at all, it was just pitch black.
"If you want to see the photos, you can see them, don't mind my grandma, I won't make trouble around her."
Xu Tian pointed the flashlight at the photo of the five people on the photo frame on the wall, "Can you tell which one is the red girl?" ”
"Is this ......," Officer Zhang carefully examined the photo, "is it because I am clumsy?" I think the five people look very similar, no, it's similar figures, and the photo is too small for me to see clearly. ”
"Can't even recognize which one is the red girl?"
"I can't recognize it, I can't see my face clearly, and the five girls in the photo are all wearing makeup, so it's even harder to distinguish."
"Any other single photos?" Xu Tian asked Dashuang while looking for it on the wall.
"All the photos are there, there is something, there is nothing."
"It seems that there is no more, let's go Officer Zhang, it's really troublesome for you, Dashuang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest!"
After walking out of the courtyard, Xu Tian turned off the flashlight and pulled Officer Zhang to the base of the wall of Dashuang's house.
"What are you doing here? Why do you turn off the flashlight? ”
"I have something to ask you, you must tell me the truth, what kind of occupation did Hongmei do before she came to the village?"
"Hongmei is from the art troupe of other counties, why are you asking this?"
"So, Hongmei can sing?"
"It's not just that she can sing, but Hongmei was a famous actor in the county back then."
"Hahaha......" Xu Tian leaned against the wall, "Hahahaha......"
"Don't scare me, why are you laughing so loudly?"
"Last question, do you know how long it takes for a landslide to be dug through?"
"It was dug in three or four days, and now it's not like before, the county has all the machines."
"That's good, let's wait in the village for three or four days, and by the way, we will attend the wedding of the big pair, and you can take me to the town after drinking the wedding wine."
"What kind of medicine do you kid sell in the gourd? I was stunned. ”
"You'll know then, okay, now that the coffin of the village committee has been removed, you go back to rest, and I'll go see the old village chief and Hua Gu."
When Xu Tian returned to the second master's house, the old village chief had already brought Hua Gu, and under the majesty and intimidation of the old village chief, Hua Gu hugged herself and shrank in the corner without saying a word, looking much more well-behaved.
"Old village chief, Hua Gu wasn't frightened by you, was she?"
"This girl is afraid of me, and others really can't cure her."
"Hua Gu." Xu Tian stretched out his hand and pulled up the flower girl who was squatting in the corner.
"I ...... I don't want to go into the coffin...... Whining...... I don't want to die ......"
"Don't cry!" The old village chief shouted at Hua Gu.
Hua Gu sobbed and was frightened by the old village chief.
"Aunt Hua, I'll ask you a few questions, if you answer truthfully, I'll buy you something delicious, and if you lie, let the old village chief take you home."
"I ...... I want something delicious...... Don't go home with Grandpa Paper ......"
"I ask you, who is Honghong?"
"Red Red ...... Hee-hee-hee-hee...... Her name is my sister, and I call her little sister. ”
"How many children does Honghong have?"
"En......" Hua Gu counted with her fingers, "one...... Two...... Kindness...... Two...... Hee-hee-hee-hee......"
"Did you see Honghong last night?"
"See!" Hua Gu said excitedly, "Honghong said to give me the wedding dress, I waited for a long time, and Honghong finally came back to give me the wedding dress......"
The old village chief and Huang Quan on the side were already shocked by Hua Gu's answer.
"What did Honghong say to you yesterday? Don't lie a word. ”
"Well...... Honghong said...... Hua Gu has grown up, but Honghong is so scary, she doesn't like Hua Gu as much as she used to, ......"
"Did Honghong roar at Hua Gu?"
Hua Gu nodded aggrievedly.
"What else does Honghong say?"
"Honghong won't let me eat delicious food, huh...... Red red is bad, Hua Gu doesn't want a wedding dress, Hua Gu wants something delicious, woo wow......"
As she spoke, Hua Gu began to cry, and the old village chief next to her couldn't stand Hua Gu's crying.
"I think, let's send Hua Gu back quickly! What are you asking, she can't say anything. ”
"Alright! Then please send Hua Gu back! Brother Huangquan also worked hard, and I went back to my grandmother's house to sleep. ”
Grandma's house is a few steps away, when Xu Tian returned to his grandmother's house, it was already late at night, since he came to the village, Xu Tian had not slept a peaceful night, and his tired body began to be unable to bear it, lying on the kang, Xu Tian closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Suddenly, Xu Tian thought of his grandmother, the movement of his return just now was not small, why didn't grandma react at all?
Xu Tian dragged his tired body off the kang, and pulled the drawstring of the light bulb with his hand, and an old face suddenly appeared in the dim room.
"You're back!"
It turned out that grandma was in the room all the time.
