Chapter Twenty-Seven: Dead
"At night, you can sleep in this room, there should be five people in it, me and my parents in one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Zhang Hu pointed to the relatively large room and said to us.
"Okay, Brother Huzi." I took a look at the room, although there was only one bed in it, when Mo Xin and Lin Xiyu slept on the bed~, the three of us men could just sleep on the ground, no problem.
The rest of the group nodded as well.
"Su Wu, why don't we go and barbecue?" Zhang Hu winked at me.
"You can still eat barbecue, where? Let's go. Tension's eyes shone brightly.
I explained to them that our barbecue here is actually to pick some vegetables from the vegetable field by yourself, and then make a fire on the spot and roast them to eat, and the stolen vegetables are the most fragrant. said that everyone was looking forward to it, and even Mo Xin and Lin Xiyu were eager to try. Just move, Zhang Hu's family actually didn't grow any vegetables. And Aunt Zhang's house next door to him grows a lot of potatoes, sweet potatoes, and raises a lot of chickens and ducks.
A few of us picked up some wood for the fire, and quietly came to a sheltered earthen bag not far from Aunt Zhang's house. I dug up a few more potatoes in the ground.
"Shall we go to the whole chicken? That's the real roast chicken, right? Zhang Zhang said excitedly.
"Okay, the monkey spirit and I will go, let's go to Aunt Zhang's house to buy a chicken." I'm also quite happy.
"Deller, let's go." The monkey spirit followed, leaving the four of them behind, and baked the potatoes first.
In the countryside, if you take a few potatoes and vegetables from others, they won't say anything, but if you want to steal chickens and dogs, that's a big problem. Illuminated by the light of his mobile phone, he walked along the dirt road to Aunt Zhang's courtyard, and walked zigzag for nearly six minutes.
The monkey spirit and I went to the fence in Aunt Zhang's courtyard, and at the edge of the fence inside, there were a few chickens napping in their cages. I shouted to the courtyard: "Aunt Zhang, I'm Su Wu, can I buy you a chicken?" ”
The door of the adobe house in the courtyard opened, and Aunt Zhang's crutches walked to the door and directly refused: "Don't sell it, don't sell it, you want to buy it from another house." He slammed the door shut.
...... this, I thought to myself that maybe she wasn't in a good mood today! I had to walk back with the monkey spirit dejectedly, just halfway through.
"I'll go again, I'll go get the chickens and put the money where the chickens sleep." The monkey spirit said suddenly.
Before I could speak, the monkey spirit rushed back according to the light of the mobile phone, and I thought to myself, too, so as not to spoil everyone's interest. I went back to the place where everyone started the fire alone.
"Brother Su, have you bought the chicken?" Mo Xin ran over to me and asked, despite the fact that her feet were covered with mud from the field.
"In the back, the monkey spirit will bring it over immediately." I pulled her and squatted in front of the fire ~ to make the flames.
After about ten minutes, the monkey spirit ran back with a grin in his arms. "Ouch, I'll go, scare the hell out of me. I caught the chicken, put 100 yuan on it, and ran back without seeing the road. The monkey spirit gasped and said, as soon as the words fell, he touched his pocket and said, "Oops, my phone." It must have landed in a chicken coop. ”
Zhang Zhang and the others all laughed.
"I'll accompany you to find it." I smiled and said to the monkey spirit.
The two of us returned to the fence of Aunt Zhang's house, and I took the light of my mobile phone to the place where the chicken coop was located, and I didn't see the monkey spirit's mobile phone around, but I saw 100 yuan pressed by a stone next to the chicken coop. It was supposed to be around here, so I looked for it again, but I still didn't find it.
"Monkey spirit, you go and ask Aunt Zhang if she has seen the phone, and I will help you find it around here." I'm wondering if Aunt Zhang picked it up.
"Okay, you find it first, I'll ask." The monkey spirit said and walked to Aunt Zhang's adobe house, knocked on the door, and asked, "Is Aunt Zhang there?" ”
didn't hear Aunt Zhang's response, but the door "creaked" and was knocked open by the monkey spirit.
From a distance, I saw the monkey spirit standing in front of the door, as if at a loss. I felt something was wrong and quickly asked, "Monkey spirit, what's wrong?" ”
"It's dead, Aunt Zhang is dead." The monkey spirit responded mechanically.
"What?" I exclaimed, I straightened up, and ran towards the monkey spirit. Before he could get closer, a man came out from the other side of the fence. Through the dim light coming from the adobe house, I could see clearly that it was Uncle Zhang.
Before I had time to think about it, I looked into my room. Aunt Zhang's legs were lying on the ground in the direction of the door, there was a big stone on her chest, almost sinking into Aunt Zhang's body, looking up, Aunt Zhang's expression was a little hideous, her eyes were wide, and her right hand pointed to something, I fixed my eyes and saw that the ground was actually the mobile phone of the monkey spirit!
I forced my composure to look around the room. Everything seemed to be in order, even the crutches were still standing quietly at the head of the bed, and there was no trace of struggle and fighting.
I stepped forward to probe Aunt Zhang's snort, and she was already out of breath!
Uncle Zhang walked to the door and looked inside, he was also startled, and said to the monkey spirit in a little panic: "This is what you did?" As he spoke, he took out his mobile phone and called the police. I'm afraid it will take half an hour for the police to get here.
"No, Uncle Zhang, I just came over like this." The monkey spirit waved his hand and tried to explain, bending down and picking up the phone as he spoke, and looked at it to see if there was nothing unusual.
I hurriedly stopped the monkey spirit, but I didn't hold him, and said to him: "Monkey spirit, let's not move the scene first, and see what clues can be found." The monkey spirit heard my words and put the phone back in its place.
"Is this still your phone? Say, why kill Aunt Zhang! Uncle Zhang saw the monkey spirit picking up the mobile phone, walked over and grabbed the monkey spirit's hand and asked.
Monkey Spirit explained the process of us coming over to buy chickens from Aunt Zhang.
I thought about it, how is it possible for the monkey spirit to kill Aunt Zhang? The first time he and Aunt Zhang met, they had no chance or hatred, and it was impossible to kill the killer in order to buy a chicken, but judging from the situation at the scene, the monkey spirit was the most suspicious. If it's not a monkey spirit, then there must be someone else. Ten minutes ago, Aunt Zhang was still standing in front of me, it must have been within this time, Aunt Zhang didn't know what she encountered and lost her life, and the real criminal must not have gone far.
While thinking about it, Zhang Li, Mo Xin and others heard the quarrel and all rushed over.
I explained to them what happened here. When Zhang Hu saw Aunt Zhang lying on the ground, he ran over and knelt on the ground, trying to pull up the stone that had sunk into his chest. I grabbed him and said to him, "Don't spoil the scene, the police will be there in a while." ”
"It's only been ten minutes since I was done. The culprit must have been near, not far away, and it was impossible for him to escape from the front, when you were lighting a fire in that direction, and someone passed by and you would find it," I pointed to where we were baking potatoes.
