"What do you think?"

Leaving the police station, Xiao Fan asked Xin Xiaoqi as he walked.

"What?" Xin Xiaoqi didn't understand what he meant.

"The matter of this case. What do you think is wrong? ”

Xin Xiaoqi pondered for a moment, and then replied, "It's indeed a little suspicious. It's not like a police case. ”

"Hmm."

As I walked, my stomach couldn't help but growl. Xiao Fan said: "There should be food in this town, right?" Let's find a place to eat. ”

They walked and walked around the secluded streets for a while, and finally walked towards a northern dumpling restaurant.

"Boss, two dumplings." Xiao Fan looked at Xin Xiaoqi and asked, "How many taels do you want?" ”

At this moment, the boss approached and asked, "What do you want?" ”

"What's stuffed?" Xiao Fan asked.

The boss pointed to the menu baffle on his head and said, "Fresh meat with celery, fresh meat with mushrooms, fresh meat with shepherd's cabbage, and beef stuffing with sauce, you can see for yourself, and there are other side dishes." ”

Xiao Fan glanced at it for a few moments, and then said, "Come to two taels of fresh mushroom meat, come again...... A plate of thousands of sheets, a plate of sauce-flavored pig's trotters," Xiao Fan looked at Xin Xiaoqi and asked, "Do you want to eat this?" ”

"There's no problem, it's okay, well, bring me two taels of cabbage and fresh meat dumplings!"

After ordering the menu, Xiao Fan got up and took two bottles of soda in the freezer.

"Give!"

"Thank you!"

"What do you do?" Xiao Fan only asked now.

Xin Xiaoqi took a straw in his mouth, took a sip, then let go, and said, "Singing." Don't you see like me? ”

Xiao Fan smiled, "No, no!" Like, I didn't say it's not. ”

Xin Xiaoqi also smiled: "Okay, just kidding." I'm a half-ass, where did you see that? ”

"Forehead ......"

Xin Xiaoqi looked at Xiao Fan's embarrassed appearance, and felt more and more that this person was funny. So he told him: "It's just fun, but then again, I really like it to sing." ”

Xiao Fan said: "Of course I know this. There's no one who doesn't like to sing it. Even if you don't like to sing and sing, I'm afraid you won't be able to last a lifetime. ”

"For a lifetime?"

"Well, for a lifetime."

"I think I'm that kind of person, although I like it, but I can't last a lifetime. We are in a very real world, although the dream is too attractive, but there is still the strength to say, I still have self-knowledge. So I don't force it. ”

"Hmm. There is some truth to that. Then you won't sing anymore? ”

"Sing still to sing, if you have the chance. It's just that my path is not on this one. ”

"What are you going to do? Figured it out? ”

"Nope." When Xin Xiaoqi said this, there was a little sadness in his eyes, a trace of helplessness and loneliness, "I will probably become an ordinary planning clerk in the cubicle, or maybe I will become a trader who pursues life and works hard to turn around." In short, I don't know what the future holds. ”

Xiao Fan nodded in agreement.

"Yes."

"What about you?" Xin Xiaoqi suddenly raised his head, replaced it with a smile, and asked a question that had nothing to do with him.

"A small clerk in a construction company. There's nothing to say, I've been living diligently! ”

"That's already remarkable, for a lot of people. Or I think it is. ”

……

After returning to the village, Xiao Fan decided to temporarily change the investigation plan, and he decided to find out the life history of the murdered Chu family first. Although he knows it's hard. He didn't know if the villagers would flicker again.

But fortunately, Xiao Fan finally asked the right person, and the subject of the interview was an old woman.

"You say this family, oh, I remember." The old woman began to talk eloquently, and Xiao Fan also listened carefully.

"There are three members of the Chu family, and they have a common daughter. However, Chu Hualong is also a poor child, his father and mother died early, so his daughter has not seen her grandparents. Oh, by the way, their daughter's name is Chu Mengdie, and Hua Long's wife is called Bai Xue.

You say it's probably fate, it's really miserable. This family doesn't deserve to end up like this, it really shouldn't be.

This Hua Long and his wife Bai Xue met through singing, what is it called, Kunqu Opera! Hualong's wife Bai Xue was originally not from this village or town, but a girl from the city, who came to the countryside to sing. It just so happened that Hualong could also sing, and one of them sang the male role, and the other sang the female role. sang quite well, and after that, they got acquainted like this, probably because they fell in love. Soon they began to get along, and the girl Bai Xue often went to the countryside to visit Hualong.

Later, they got married, and Bai Xue was willing to marry in the village. What a good girl. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Fan couldn't help but be stunned.

"What do you say? Did they meet by singing Kunqu Opera? Xiao Fan seemed to be in disbelief.

"yes, what's the problem?"

“…… Not. ”

Xiao Fan felt that this matter was getting more and more strange, because, that day, he fell asleep under the old tree with a crooked neck, and he had dreamed of two people, a pair of men and women, they were wearing costumes and eyeshadow, and they sang Kunqu Opera! And now that he heard the old woman say this, he felt as if they were the scene in his dream!

It's really, really, so weird.

Is this really a dream?

It just so happened that Bai Xue was hanged from a tree with a crooked neck, and all this will not ......

The more Xiao Fan thought about it, the more he felt confused and uneasy, and he was a little crazy.

"Please go on." Xiao Fan said to the old woman.

In short, they were very affectionate later, and Bai Xue did not dislike the poor and loved the rich, and was able to endure the life in the countryside. From time to time, they also perform Kunqu opera in neighboring villages, and their lives are also stable. Until that thing! ”

At this point, the old woman also felt sorrow.

"Snow hanged herself! No one knows why. Just committed suicide for no reason. ended his young life. At the time, we all felt sorry for her. ”

"After so many years of incident, I still don't know the reason?" Xiao Fan interjected.

"I don't know. But ......"

"Just say, it's okay, so many years have passed."

"Then her husband also died."

"I know this, how did you die?" Xiao Fan asked.

"Someone killed you!"

"By whom?"

"It's hard to say."

"Isn't it the families who moved away?!" Xiao Fan said it boldly.

The old woman was also shocked, "Don't guess! It's not that simple, after all, no one has seen it with their own eyes. ”

Sure enough, the villagers' confessions were indeed suspected of misleading the police. If Xiao Fan's guess is correct, this may be a crime that everyone is suspected of covering up!

The darkness of things may be shocking.
