Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Dusty Past

It's not a thing to wait for an old man's anger to disappear like this, after all, time is money, Xiao Fan can't be spent here all the time, he still has a lot to do in his life, and there are still many ways to go. The reason I came here was just to investigate some of the knots that were stuck in my heart.

So Xiao Fan went to visit the village chief with Xin Xiaoqi again.

The village chief was a middle-aged man, fat and fat, wearing a white shirt and trousers underneath, and the exposed belt looked like it was about to collapse.

Xiao Fan originally thought that the village chief was a respected old man, but it seems that he has indeed watched a lot of costume dramas, this is a modern and contemporary village. Most of the village chiefs look like this.

However, the village chief did not keep silent, but was stunned and said that he didn't know. In the end, they learned that the village chief had been transferred here in the early years, and that he was not from his own village, but from the town.

It's another trip for nothing.

"What now?" Xiao Fan said to Xin Xiaoqi, "Is there anyone else you can ask?" ”

"Of course there is," Xin Xiaoqi said, "go and ask my aunt, she's a good person, I think I should be able to find out something from there." ”

Xin Xiaoqi is not very sure, all because of her second grandfather's strange reaction, she knows that her second grandfather is not such a person, so she feels foggy when she sees things now.

Xin Xiaoqi brought a bag of fresh fruit to her aunt, and then came to visit. Xiao Fan felt that these were his own affairs, and he felt a little embarrassed, so he forced Xin Xiaoqi to give 100 yuan, but Xin Xiaoqi was stunned and didn't ask for it.

"She's my aunt, it's my business, you don't have to be embarrassed. Really, no! ”

Xin Xiaoqi's attitude was resolute, and Xiao Fan was no longer reluctant.

"Hello Auntie." Xiao Fan said politely.

Skipping some of the shy cold greetings of the meeting, Xin Xiaoqi went straight to the topic. Her aunt sat in her chair and listened.

Xiao Fan said the names one by one, and then mentioned their elders who didn't know their names. Her aunt listened all the time. This made Xiao Fan feel that there was a play.

Sure enough, after Xiao Fan's statement was finished, my aunt began to open her mouth. At this time, it was time for Xiao Fan to listen carefully.

"I've heard of these people's names, and as for their elders, I probably can't remember the names, but I know that there are these people, and they did move their families after that, and I don't know where they moved to. After all, it's not my family. "My aunt spoke very clearly.

"Then why did they move suddenly?" This is what Xiao Fan wants to focus on.

"This ......," the aunt seemed to stop talking. Xiao Fan thought, sure enough, there is something secret.

"Auntie, I'll make it clear." Xiao Fan simply told the truth, "Of the few people I said, several of them have been killed. ”

Xin Xiaoqi and her aunt both opened their mouths wide.

"It's really ......"

"So, Auntie, you might as well tell it, I know there must be something hidden in this, right? After all these years, there is nothing left to hide. Because I don't want things to go in a worse direction. I hope you understand. ”

After a conversation with Aunt Xin Xiaoqi, Xiao Fanfang knew that there was really a secret hidden in it.

Here's a rough summary of what happened:

Twelve years ago, there was an incident in Zhoujia Village, a regrettable thing.

It is said that in a family surnamed Chu, the wife suddenly hanged herself under a tree with a crooked neck overnight, leaving her husband and a teenage daughter. Within a few days, the husband sent his only daughter to a relative's house in the city, and the husband died suddenly. Not long after, a total of several families moved out of the village. This is probably what happened to the village back then. Xin Xiaoqi's aunt said it very clearly, but the details are still ambiguous.

Xiao Fan now knows why under the old tree with his neck crooked, the little boy said strange things to himself, why did he suddenly run away. It turns out that there is indeed a terrible past under the old tree. Xiao Fan seemed to think of that scene in an instant, a woman in white pajamas, tied a rope to a thick branch, the rope sleeve around her neck, she kicked a few times, the slippers fell to the ground, and a miserable white face was reflected in the miserable white moonlight.

"What are the causes of their deaths? Have the police been here? Xiao Fan still asked the most critical question.

Moreover, Xiao Fan faintly felt that the relocation of Rufeng and their families was related to these things, it couldn't be so coincidental, right!?

At this time, my aunt's expression seemed to freeze instantly, but immediately she said: "I don't know about this, the police have come, it should be." That's all I know, after all, I wasn't there at the time of the incident, and I was just hearsay. ”

Xiao Fan knew that his aunt would not speak again, he knew that there must be some taboo in this, it must be related to the cause of death. In this case, Xiao Fan didn't want to waste too much time.

"Thank you another day! Let's go first. ”

Leaving her aunt's house, Xin Xiaoqi asked Xiao Fan, "Why is it in such a hurry?" ”

"I've found a law, no matter who it is, as long as it's this village, they seem to be silent about these few things, and it's impossible for me to continue to hear anything from them."

"Are you saying my aunt knew, but didn't tell you the truth?"

Xiao Fan nodded.

"How can you be sure?"

"I don't know, but my gut feeling is so."

"Intuition is a woman's specialty."

Xiao Fan was noncommittal, "Men can also be very emotional, it has nothing to do with gender!" ”

"Why don't I have this intuition?"

"You're not sentimental, maybe."

After listening to his answer, Xin Xiaoqi also slightly agreed. She is indeed not such an emotional person, but a spontaneous and standard doer.

"But then again, I only found out today that such a terrible thing had happened in this village! By the way, do you have eyebrows now? What's the connection with your friend being killed? ”

"I don't know the essentials for the time being, I have to go to the police station."

"What? Police station? The town's police station? Xin Xiaoqi was surprised.

"Yes." Xiao Fan's eyes did not hesitate.

"What are you going to do?"

"If the police had been here, they must have had a criminal record. Or it's called a dossier, as soon as we get that thing, the truth is immediately revealed. ”

"But will they show you? It's that kind of thing after all. Although Xin Xiaoqi didn't understand this, she felt that the police would not give these things to an ordinary person so easily.

"So we've got to figure something out." Xiao Fan said.
