No wonder the sky here is exceptionally bright, it turned out that last night experienced a baptism of heavy rain, with the blue sky like a wash, white clouds, mild sunlight slowly emerged from behind the clouds, like a broken golden light, through the gaps in the clouds sprinkled to the mountains and rivers of Hongshi Village and more than 80 houses in the four bay groups within a radius of 100 miles, but also shrouded in the mountains that were like blood-stained stones, so Hongshi Village got its name.

When I got off the bus, the fresh mountain breath mixed with the smell of earth came to my nose, which made people feel comfortable physically and mentally, as if inhaling a large amount of unpolluted air, and suddenly felt that the journey of more than ten hours was not tired, and the spirit was shocked.

When we arrived at Hongshi Village, it happened to be one o'clock at noon, and Li Tao, the head of the criminal police stationed in the village to investigate the case, and Gao Ping, the village party secretary who was about 50 years old, personally received us.

"Come on, come on, we don't have anything good to entertain in this mountain village, don't dislike it. But to be honest, the crucian carp in this fish soup is raised in the fish pond contracted by our village, the chickens are also raised at home, and this egg is all native eggs, which taste very fragrant. There is also pot porridge cooked in the kitchen, you are from the city, it is rare to eat once, don't be polite to us. "The village chief's wife Xu Lanxian has always been smiling, politely so that we don't know what to say, fortunately, Sheng Muhua is also a person who has experienced large and small scenes, and always represents all of us to deal with it, and finally waited for Xu Lanxian to go out, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, we are not the protagonists, so we only say that we are Sheng Muhua's friends, and our profession is a reporter, so we happened to come over for an interview with us, and by the way, we brought back some exclusive interview materials.

Of course, whether these materials should be published in the newspaper in the later period, no one should investigate them, but I am at ease, Ling Kai has always been silent, and he has never said half a sentence from beginning to end, and everyone is used to his indifference, almost no one takes the initiative to talk to him, and he is happy to be quiet.

Gao Ping, the village head, is a man who doesn't talk much, with dark skin, probably because of years of farming, with thick eyebrows and wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, which should be caused by overwork. He is not tall, he is thin, although he doesn't say much, but he can get to the point in every sentence, and he should have practiced it when he often reported to work.

During the dinner, inevitably talking about the murders, I immediately diverted my attention from the excitement of enjoying the mountain food and listened intently to their conversation.

"Even if Mrs. Gao didn't die of natural causes, it wasn't murdered by her daughter-in-law, we have a folk custom here, if the old man is not too late, you can also take some necessary means," the village chief Gao Ping's words surprised us a little, and we all put down the dishes and chopsticks, and all eyes were focused on him.

Noticing that our eyes were all shifted, Gao Ping also put down the chopsticks in his hand, his eyes swept over our faces one by one, and said in a deep voice, "Maybe in your opinion, this is an immoral act, but for those old people who want to go but can't go, it is not a relief." Mrs. Gao was worried about her youngest daughter's delay, so she stopped at home for five days and refused to close her eyes, but the village doctor at the health center said that her heartbeat had almost stopped, and many organs in her body had failed and stopped working. ”

So her family will carry out the trial privately and send her on her last ride? Although such a question floated in my heart, it was not a public security officer after all, so I didn't dare to ask without permission, but looking at the reactions of Li Tao and the two young police officers next to him, Guo Fan and Zeng Haoran, it seemed that it was not surprising, obviously I was used to seeing such things, and I was not surprised.

I could only turn my gaze to Sheng Muhua, he was expressionless, his eyes did not have any waves, and I don't know if he was surprised or if he had experienced many years of battlefield, and he had the super ability to deal with things without being surprised.

Wordlessly, I lowered my head, looked at the food on the table, and suddenly lost my appetite.

"Then you mean that even if Mrs. Gao was artificially killed by her daughter-in-law Wu Yuzhi, she would not choose to hang herself because of guilt, right?" At the originally peaceful scene, Ling Kai's question suddenly popped up, hitting the nail on the head and pointing to the point.

We suddenly turned our head to look at Ling Kai beside me, he was sitting upright and straight, his expression was solemn, and his eyes were sharp, which made the atmosphere in the room instantly condense, and the strength of his aura was staggering.

Everyone didn't seem to expect Ling Kai, who had not said a word, to suddenly come out with such a sentence, and his expression was a little stunned, especially the village chief Gao Ping, whose mouth was slightly open, his expression was stagnant, and he replied after a while, "It can be said that this is the case, even if Wu Yuzhi used a spoonful of sugar to press down Mrs. Gao's only tongue to make her completely close her eyes, but this situation is not uncommon, she doesn't need to feel guilty to hang herself." ”

"So, Wu Yuzhi was murdered?" Ling Kai continued to ask, and locked his gaze on Gao Ping, which made people feel like two cold lights, forcing a layer of fine beads of sweat to quickly appear on the corners of the other party's forehead.

"This, I'm not sure about this, and it still needs to be investigated by the police, right?" Taking a deep breath, Gao Ping squeezed out a reluctant smile on his face, and deliberately turned his gaze to Li Tao, presumably to relieve the strong pressure that Ling Kai brought him.

I looked at the smile piled up on his face, and I felt a little anxious for him, after all, there were few people who could withstand Ling Kai's gaze attack, it was really as sharp as a knife, if it was going to cut people's hearts!

Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene was a little wrong, Sheng Muhua coughed lightly, turned his head to look at Ling Kai, and chuckled, "We just came, don't be in a hurry, things have to be understood slowly, it's better to go to the scene after eating and then discuss the case." ”

Ling Kai didn't say anything, but finally withdrew his gaze from the village chief, and ate the dish slowly and methodically. His hands are as slender as jade, and his movements are as elegant as embroidery, if it weren't for the fact that his temperament was too cold, he must be very attractive to girls, right?

I somehow remembered the proud Ding Shuyuan in my mind, she thought that only she was worthy of Ling Kai, but she didn't understand how many thousands of miles of difference in the hearts between them was, it was really ridiculous.

Seeing that I was smiling for some reason, Sheng Muhua eased the atmosphere and deliberately asked me, "Xiaoya, how is it?" This scoop is blockbuster enough, right? What do you think? ”

I turned my head past Ling Kai to look at him, and saw that he winked at me, knowing that he wanted to dissolve the slight coercion brought by Ling Kai, and hurriedly cooperated, "It's indeed very newsworthy, but to be honest, out of humanitarianism, I don't quite approve of Wu Yuzhi's approach, but we can't deny that many things still need to be dealt with by extraordinary means, so from this point of view, I don't make a right or wrong evaluation, only analyze from this matter, if Wu Yuzhi did not commit suicide in fear of crime, then she was murdered, And her sister-in-law Gao Juan only stood up after her death and mentioned that Mrs. Gao was artificially killed by her sister-in-law, the purpose does not seem to be pure, she is covering up the truth about Wu Yuzhi's suicide, then, she is very suspicious! ”

After saying this sentence in one breath, I felt everyone's eyes projecting towards me, and my heart suddenly chuckled, thinking that it couldn't be something wrong, right? After all, I'm not a professional, and such arbitrary reasoning is easy to mislead the police in adjudicating the case.
