The old village chief endured the pain and held back his tears, and Xu Tian handed the mineral water to the old village chief again. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"There is a shortage of water in the village, so keep it for the children! I don't know when someone will come to the rescue. ”

Xu Tian looked at the old village chief's slightly bent sideways, this blow, the old village chief looked much older, and his shrewd and capable body was almost unable to support it.

"Can you tell me about Hongmei's interpersonal relationship?"

"This is a long story, Hongmei's popularity is very good, children of the same age as Hongmei liked her very much, especially Xiao Ai's mother, they are not just classmates, the relationship is very deep, and she cried after Hongmei's death called a grief!"

"What year did Aunt Xu leave the village?"

"I want to think about it...... It seems to be the second year of Hongmei's death, 98 years, and she left just in the spring. ”

"That means that half a year after Hongmei's death, Aunt Xu left the village?"

"That's right, I came back three years ago, the girl walked away, and I brought a girl back, and I couldn't raise my head in the village, so I had to continue to guard the three-third of an acre of land at the entrance of the village."

"Why did my grandmother save Hongmei back then? Do you know why? ”

"It's not because of your dad! I also heard your grandmother tell me in private, after Hongmei's husband died, he left the geological exploration data of our village, your father wants it very much, to be honest, I also want it, as long as we have that information, we can develop land resources by ourselves, your father said so at the time. ”

"So my grandma secretly saved Hongmei, just to get that information?"

"It's not all because of your dad, but later your grandma told me the truth, and I also want your grandma to try her best to get the information, for eight years! Your grandmother and I hid from the villagers to help Hongmei's family, just to ask Hongmei to give me the information, but Hongmei's mouth was too strict, not only did she not pry out a word, but she almost caught up with your father's future. ”

Hearing this, Xu Tian couldn't sit still, and the truth turned out to be related to his family, but in order to find out the truth, Xu Tian had no choice but to continue listening to the old village chief.

"Hongmei has been recuperating in the mountains for eight years, but she has never been idle, and during this period, Hongmei found out the truth about the seventeen lives that were killed."

The old village chief wiped two lines of old tears, and Xu Tian tried to hand the mineral water to the old village chief again, but the old village chief still refused.

"Before Hongmei died, I was called by your grandmother seriously, I heard that Hongmei was dying, so I hurried up the mountain, I didn't know that Huang Wupo and Xu Laosan were following me, I really regretted it, I was too anxious at the time, so I led the villagers over."

The old village chief burst into tears, and cried with self-blame, and the villagers in the distance all walked silently to the village when they saw this, only Vanilla, Huang Quan, and Xiao Ai's mother and son were still looking at the old village chief and Xu Tian.

"That day, Hongmei told me that she was dying, and the two children must let me help her take care of them, especially the boy, Hongmei told me an address, which is a relative of Hongmei's mother's family, and told me to send the boy there, and I did it."

"What about girls? How did Hongmei entrust it? ”

"Before I could say the girl, Hongmei choked her breath, and when I went, I saw that the boy was outside, I quickly took the child away, such a small child, I can't let him watch his own mother leave in front of his eyes......"

"That's not right! Wrong! Since Hongmei was dead before you left, why did she still have a knife wound on her body, as well as a dent on her skull from being hit with a blunt object, isn't this an extra move? ”

Xu Tian suddenly shuddered, as if he remembered something, and suddenly, Xu Tian looked up at the sky and shouted, "I know, I know why Xu Fugui's corpse has set up two roles for us to discover." ”

At this time, Vanilla, Huang Quan, and Xiao Ai's mother and son at the door of the store also ran over when they heard Xu Tian's shout, and everyone seemed to want to know the secret.

"What's going on? Do you know who killed Xu Fugui? The old village chief hurriedly asked.

"I don't know who the murderer is, but I know why the murderer shouted that, and I know all the knife wounds on Hongmei's body and the scars from being hit with a blunt object twenty years ago." Xu Tian was extremely excited, and drank two large sips of mineral water in his hand.

"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" The old village chief tugged at the corner of Xu Tian's clothes and said.

"First of all, twenty years ago, I believe what the old village chief said, when the old village chief left, Hongmei choked her breath, but it was actually Hongmei who was pretending to be dead, because there was a real murderer hidden in the house at that time, Hongmei had to quickly get rid of the old village chief and the children outside, Hongmei has lived in the village for so many years, and the kindness of the old village chief was naturally known by Hongmei, and after the old village chief left, Hongmei released the murderer hidden in the storage box, but Hongmei didn't expect that the murderer actually attacked herself. At that time, the little girl's testimony recorded in the transcript said that the old village chief did not see Xu Fugui until a long time after he left, which shows that Hongmei talked with the murderer in the house for a long time, and it should be that Hongmei had something in her hands and was killed by the murderer. ”

The old village chief's two eyes swept the ground, and then asked, "What happened to Xu Fugui's death?" ”

"Xu Fugui's death is very similar to Hongmei's death back then, have you forgotten the location where Xu Fugui's body was sunk? Water well! ”

"Do you mean ......?"

"Yes, at that time, the murderer should have hid in the well, or followed Xu Fugui into the well, I imagined it this way, the rope on Xu Fugui's waist was tied by himself, because Xu Fugui wanted to go down to the depths of the well, so he tied the dead knot, and when he came up, he cut it with a knife, so the effect of Xu Fugui's dead knot should be to be afraid that the button would loosen. When Xu Fugui went down to the depths of the well, the murderer assassinated Xu Fugui, and then the murderer climbed up from the well, but unfortunately, the murderer saw someone in the yard of my grandmother's house, and the murderer knew that he couldn't go, but he had to leave quickly, what would the murderer do at this time? ”

Huang Quan took Xu Tian's words and said, "Drag Xu Fugui up, and then scream, so that the villagers think that Xu Fugui jumped into the well." ”

"Clever! Next, the murderer casually hid in the dark part of the courtyard, and when the villagers gathered, he could just blend in with the villagers, and then everything would make sense. ”

Xu Tian still didn't tell everyone about the dummy, the murderer who killed Xu Fugui at that time should have seen the dummy in the yard of his grandmother's house next door, because Xu Tian heard the murderer's shouts when he went out, so the person the murderer saw couldn't be Xu Tian, at that time, the murderer had already pulled Xu Fugui up from the well once, and the fifty-meter-deep well couldn't pull the body up so quickly.

Xu Tian observed the reactions of everyone next to him, and at this time, Vanilla's eyes became extremely low.
