Chapter 38: When we met for the first time
"This ancestral hall is really a product of recent years, and it doesn't matter if there is no dust in the urn inside, even the shelves that carry the urn are not a little dusty." Xu Tian said.
"What else is false? It's best to tell us about it now, otherwise the tragedy is likely to continue. Teacher Jin said.
"Nothing else." Lao Gao said.
"No, there is another more important thing, yesterday in the backyard of the ancestral hall Lao Ma told us about his grandmother, if the ancestral hall was built in recent years, then the story of Lao Ma's grandmother may be false, why didn't you tell us about it yesterday?" Xu Tian asked.
"No, no, no! The matter of the grandmother of the old horse is true, this matter is indeed true, since the ancestral hall was built, the old horse began to sing in the backyard of the ancestral hall to the old lady, in fact, the old horse should have been driven out, but everyone read in the old horse's filial piety, did not come forward to stop it, anyway, the old lady just sat in the backyard of the ancestral hall every day to listen to the old horse humming a tune tune, and they did not make a fuss in the ancestral hall, so they simply went with them. Lao Gao said.
"Is that so! That's fine, but are you sure there's nothing else to fool us? Xu Tian asked.
"Nope! Absolutely not, I can swear, there is nothing else to fool you. Lao Gao said.
"Oh well! I'll leave the rest to us! Xu Tian said.
After sending Lao Gao away, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin walked out of the ancestral hall, and the two walked to the village together.
"Since this morning, Lao Gao has also become honest, which is quite unexpected." Xu Tian said.
"After all, there are too many people who have died, and there have been five deaths here before, so Lao Gao has become scared." Teacher Jin said.
"But I think things seem to have become transparent, the current suspicions have been clearer, and all kinds of events can be connected, but I think there are still a few problems here, and I'm sure you think so, right?" Xu Tian asked Teacher Jin.
"First of all, Lao Ma's grandmother, what is the situation with this old lady? The old lady we saw in the forest was almost certainly Lao Ma's grandmother, but I think it was strange when we last saw the old lady in the forest, the old lady seemed to be jumping in the snow, which was a bit out of reality, no different from the dog god appearing on the streets of Lijia Village. Teacher Jin said.
"Then there is Yingfeng's father and daughter, and the dark fairy tale that Yingfeng told us, I originally wanted to find a chance to ask Chen Fan, but before we could free up our hands to go back to Caogang Village to find Chen Fan, Chen Fan died on the suspicious grave in the forest, as if the murderer could judge our movements, and before we could act, Chen Fan was solved." Xu Tian said.
"This is indeed an important clue, I also found that as long as the people who have a lot to do with the case will soon face death, Yingfeng's father and daughter are, so is Chen Fan, and those people in Caogang Village and Lijia Village before, I think the cases that happened in these three places still have a lot in common." Teacher Jin said.
"That's right, every time we follow the clues to find a suspicious person, then soon that person will die, this is really incredible, this is definitely not a coincidence, and I'm sure that since we landed on the island, we have been targeted, as well as Lijia Village, Caogang Village, plus the cases that happened in this small village are all a routine, as long as the people we have met, they must have died one after another." Xu Tian said.
"But the time in Caogang Village still makes me wonder through, you told me when you were in the ancestral hall, you think Sitong is Danxin, right? At the time, your tone was as if you were saying that I was also an accomplice. Teacher Jin said.
"I'm just saying that to be sure of one thing, and don't be surprised, after all, anyone deserves to be doubted these days." Xu Tian said.
"Are you testing whether I'm a real Teacher Jin or a fake Teacher Jin?" Teacher Jin said.
"There's no need to test this, I remember saying a long time ago that Teacher Jin doesn't need to be suspected, because the fake Teacher Jin has long disappeared from my side, right?" Xu Tian said.
"You have more things hidden in your heart than I do, and if you weren't a member of the police, then you would be a terrible criminal." Teacher Jin said.
"Does Mr. Jin believe in the word hunch?" Xu Tian asked.
"Don't say that you had a premonition from the beginning, now, I only look at the evidence, and I have a hunch that no matter how effective this kind of thing is, it will not be put on the table when the case is solved." Teacher Jin said.
"When the time comes, I will naturally explain everything clearly, this murderer is really going around in a big circle, but I don't know what the murderer's purpose is now, does it really make sense to be so complicated?" Xu Tian seemed to be talking to himself.
"Crime is sometimes difficult to explain, even the analysis of psychological experts is controversial, don't think about this, honestly find out the murderer is the right thing, everything else is nonsense." Teacher Jin said.
"But there's one more thing I don't understand." Xu Tian said.
"Someday you'll understand." Teacher Jin said.
"So Mr. Jin knows what I'm going to say?" Xu Tian said.
"Do you need to know? Your kid is pretending to be these things in his heart now, anyway, it is related to the whole case, and you will never tell me anything other than the case. Teacher Jin said.
"It seems that Mr. Jin still knows me better, but what I said this time is something other than the case." Xu Tian said.
"Then I don't know about you, but I'm kind of curious to know what you're talking about right now." Teacher Jin asked.
"Regarding Lao Chen, do you think there is a problem with Lao Chen?" Xu Tian asked.
"Is this something other than the case?" Teacher Jin said suspiciously.
"I'm not saying whether Lao Chen has any problems in the case, I'm saying that Lao Chen is the first time to ...... No, to be precise, it should be when Lao Chen and I met you for the first time, Lao Chen looked at your documents, and Lao Chen was very surprised at that time, and what did he say? It's like saying, 'It's you!' That's what you say, right? Xu Tian asked.
"I don't remember anything so long ago." Teacher Jin said.
"It's only been a few months since it happened, does Mr. Jin think it's been a long time?" Xu Tian asked.
"I don't remember this, what do you want to express?" Teacher Jin asked.
