As the saying goes, horses are not fertile without night grass, and people are not rich without foreign wealth. The ancestors of the Ma family took tomb robbery as a business, and should have accumulated some family funds.

Whether there is meat filling in the dumplings or not, you can't just look at the pleats. From the outside, Ma Dazhu's house is no different from the houses of other families in the village, and the dumplings are all the same from the outside, but the difference in the filling of the dumplings is great.

Thirty-five minutes or so, Ma Dazhu's wife, Aster Ju, came back - she came back alone.

"Aster, where's the big pillar?" The old lady asked.

"Dazhu has left Wang Shiqin's house."

"Where did he go?"

Dazhu didn't tell Wang Shiqin. After playing cotton, he left Wang Shiqin's house. ”

"Didn't you inquire in Xima Village?"

"I inquired. There were few people in the village, and no one saw him - I searched from house to house, but I didn't see the big pillar. ”

It would be inappropriate to wait any longer. Ouyang Ping left Han Lingling and Zuo Xiangdong to continue to wait for Ma Dazhu to come back, and the others immediately launched an investigation in Zouma Village, and there were two contents of the investigation, first, whether anyone had seen No. 1 and No. 2; Second, three months ago, did any outsiders borrow from any family in Zouma Village?

Gu Changhe sent someone to find Ma Baoliang, the leader of the production team, and he led the way to investigate and visit the fields where the villagers worked.

Today, the labor force of Zouma Village is arranged in three places: the first place is the tea plantation, and the people who work in the tea garden are all women; The second place is by the river at the east end of the village, where male laborers are repairing wooden bridges, which have fallen into disrepair for a long time, and some of the wood has been broken or even rotted. Some of the wires have rusted or even broken; The third place is the community, more than a dozen elderly men are responsible for changing the top of the cowshed and horse pen in the community, the cowshed and horse ring have leaked more than two years of rain, and take advantage of the current agricultural leisure time, take the time to repair the cowshed and the horse pen, and after the New Year, there is no time to tinker with these things.

After two hours of investigation, the people of Zouma Village were unable to provide any information related to the case.

So, the three of them went to Xima Village again. Before going to Xima Village, the three of them went to Ma Dazhu's house again, but unfortunately, Ma Dazhu still did not return.

At the entrance of Xima Village, Gu Changhe met Grandma Liu, who was washing clothes by the river, and this Grandma Liu was neighbors with Wang Shiqin's family.

Grandma Liu confirmed that this morning, she did see Ma Dazhu enter the courtyard gate of Wang Shiqin's house, and she also heard the sound of playing cotton, but she did not see Ma Dazhu leave Wang's house. The cotton bounced for half an hour, and after that, the Wang family did not move. At this time, Ma Dazhu should leave the Wang family, the Wang family didn't move at all - but Ma Dazhu was still at Wang Shiqin's house, which - she was a little confused.

Grandma Liu also knew about Ma Dazhu's woman Aster coming to Ma Dazhu, and Aster and Wang Shiqin left the Wang family after saying a few words.

"Didn't Ma Dazhu's wife enter the house?"

"Nope. I wondered, I didn't see Ma Dazhu leave Wang's house - I had been sitting at the gate of the courtyard to wash clothes, but Wang Shiqin said that Ma Dazhu was gone. ”

Ouyang Ping heard something from Grandma Liu's words. From her words, it is obvious that Wang Shiqin is a woman who is not very rude.

"Ma Dazhu is still at Wang Shiqin's house, and he has not walked out of Xima Village." Grandma Liu said.
