Chapter 7: The Past of the Year

Xu Tian and Officer Zhang ran back to the scene of the crime, and the smashed wheels were scattered around the well, and most importantly, the rope tied to Xu Fugui's body was also missing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

"What's going on? We've only been out for less than twenty minutes, who did that? Officer Zhang shouted angrily.

There were many people around the scene, and it was the residents who found the messy debris around the well, and then the man shouted in the village with great fanfare, and the villagers who had been frightened yesterday were sleeping, and the villagers were gathered again.

"Did you check it out from the well?" Xu Tian leaned to the wellhead and said.

"This well is fifty meters deep, at least, and it is pitch black, who can see it." The old village chief said with a displeased face.

"Then you have to go down and take a look, a corpse can't disappear out of thin air, I can only think that Xu Fugui was pushed into the well."

Xu Tian insisted on his opinion, and Officer Zhang also felt that he should go down to have a look, so the old village chief had to call someone to go down to salvage.

A group of people waited on the well, and after twenty minutes, the salvaged villagers were dragged up, Xu Tian will never forget that scene in his life, not only Xu Fugui was salvaged by the villagers, but also a wooden man in a coat, which is very similar to the person Xu Tian saw standing in the courtyard of his grandmother's house last night.

At this time, Xu Tian did not show off, but observed everyone present, except for Xiao Ai's mother and daughter, everyone else was there, and the most shocking thing was the few people Xu Tian suspected, especially the old village chief, whose lips trembled very obviously.

Grandma was not as exaggerated as the old village chief, but Grandma's eyes kept staring at the ground, as if she didn't dare to look at the dummy.

Huang Quan wasn't too scared, but he just showed curiosity.

"What's that? Dummies? Officer Zhang walked in and said.

"Don't talk to anyone, they're all gone!" The old village chief scolded the villagers.

The villagers all slipped away in a hurry, as if avoiding suspicion, only Hua Gu sat stupidly next to the dummy.

"Hey, hey, hey...... Brother-in-law ......"

"Let's go." The old village chief shouted at the crazy Hua Gu.

Hua Gu was very afraid of the old village chief, and walked away with the crowd.

Officer Zhang's expression was very solemn, and the old village chief kept shaking his head helplessly.

"Brother, are you still hiding it? This coat is a remnant of the scene where Hongmei was killed, and the crazy flower girl has been screaming at this coat brother-in-law and brother-in-law, haven't you ever doubted it? ā€

"I understand that Hongmei's death had a lot to do with our village, it seems that I can't escape this time, so I'll tell you everything that happened back then! Things have to start from 28 years ago, Hongmei and his man came to our village, saying that it was to do an investigation, we don't understand the crops, only know that Hongmei's man is a cultural person, carrying a bag around the mountains all day long, it didn't take long for them to decide to live in the village, when Hongmei also brought a boy, two or three years old! Later, after half a year, Hongmei's man went back to the city to find more than a dozen experts, saying that there are rare earths in our village, and we want to develop resources, as the village chief, I also understand some of the truths, as long as you can make money, it is a good thing, so the village reported layer by layer, and finally the documents were approved, but when it came to development, an accident took 17 lives, and almost all the old people in the village who were over 60 years old experienced the pain of losing their children, and the matter was very troublesome, and the development work stopped. ā€

"Do we still have this kind of resource in our village? This is a terrible thing, if it is developed, no one in the village will have to suffer from poverty. Xu Tian took over the conversation and said.

"Do you still have to say that? But there were several experts who died at that time, and Hongmei's man was also among them, and this matter had a great impact, and then it was forced to be suspended, but then Hongmei did not move out, and stayed in the village with the boy and the unborn child in the belly, which is now the house of Vanilla and their family, and Hongmei lived there before. ā€

"Vanilla's surname is Wang, but there are only two surnames in our village, Xu and Huang, is Hongmei also surnamed Wang?"

"Hongmei is surnamed Wang, her full name is Wang Yuhong, Vanilla is Hongmei's niece, Vanilla and her mother came to take care of Hongmei's confinement, and after Hongmei's death, the house will naturally belong to the Wang family."

"I heard Officer Zhang say that Hongmei died twenty years ago, but I should have been in the village for twenty years, why haven't I heard of Hongmei?"

"It's hard to put into words! After the accident in the village, followed by a flu, and thirteen children died, from this time on, Hongmei was regarded as a disaster by the villagers, several old people in the village jointly drove away Hongmei, only I and Grandma Xu Tian did not participate, the other seven people behind our backs teamed up to force Hongmei to leave the village, Hongmei has no place to go, and she is pregnant, where can she go? And Huang Wupo was even more excessive, killed her son and grandson, and put all the sins on Hongmei in anger, insulted Hongmei on the spot, and said all the bad things, when I went, Hongmei squatted in the corner with her three-year-old son and didn't say a word, and after I persuaded everyone away, Hongmei hanged herself. ā€

"Isn't Vanilla here?"

"It should be that Hongmei knew that the people in the village were going to blame her, and she took away the vanilla and her mother before the incident, but Hongmei didn't die at that time, she was rescued by your grandmother after being discovered, and then left the village. After the wind and waves were calm, no one knew where Hongmei went, until the summer of twenty years ago, Huang Wupo came back from outside angrily, saying that she found that Hongmei actually lived in the mountains, when your grandmother settled Hongmei in the mountains, the villagers heard that they provoked an incident again, and all the bees went, but when people arrived at Hongmei's residence, Hongmei was already dead, just like Lao Zhang said, no one knew who killed Hongmei. ā€

"Things sound smooth, but there are a lot of unreasonable things in it, didn't the old village chief hide anything?"

"That's all I know, by the way, before the villagers went, I went to Hongmei, and I persuaded her to leave, because the villagers' grievances are too heavy, I, as the village chief, understand, everything can't be blamed on Hongmei, Hongmei is also a hard-working woman, and the backward thinking of the villagers is also excusable, after all, our village has been isolated from the world for decades."

"No, Hongmei was carrying a three-year-old child at the time and was still pregnant, how could she go to death because of the insults of the villagers? This argument is absolutely untenable. ā€

"I didn't believe it at first, but everyone in the village knew about it, and the only people who participated in forcing away the red girl were Huang Wupo and Xu Laosan, you can ask them, especially that Huang Wupo, she provoked the incident."

At this time, the radio horn in the village sounded, the county public security sent someone to come, Xu Tian and Officer Zhang ran out to greet him, and the file that solved the cause of Hongmei's death finally arrived.
