Everyone's eyes followed my slowly raised hand, and my finger was pointed at the murderer of the camel, and everyone's eyes were on him. Under the gray hair, his eyes are full of vicissitudes, and his face is engraved with the traces of time. Every wrinkle is the mark of the stormy years.

He is Xiao Lao.

Although everyone has already speculated, but there are few people who guess that it is Xiao Lao, and when the direction I pointed to fell on Xiao Lao, the hall of the Xiao family suddenly exploded. I can understand everyone's thoughts, because of this kind of thought, I have also had: Xiao Lao does not often go out of the Xiao family's compound, and the camel rarely comes back except for bringing outsiders into the village, so he and Xiao Lao have little chance to contact.

Moreover. Camel Zi is an ordinary poor family in the past or now, he is not only afraid of the Xiao family, afraid of Xiao Lao, but also impossible to have anything to do with Xiao Lao. The fact that Xiao Lao pretended to be stupid has been recognized by me, as long as he is a normal person, he will not kill a person who has nothing to do with him, has no disputes, and can even be said to be a complete stranger.

Except for the old god stick and Xiao Lao who were still calm, the faces of the old Chinese medicine doctor and Da Zhuang changed. The three of them, Old Chinese Medicine Doctor, Da Zhuang and Old Shengang, said to each other that the other party had taken Xiao Yingfeng, so Old Chinese Medicine Doctor and Da Zhuang must have been suspicious of each other within the scope of these three people, and how could they think that Xiao Lao had killed someone.

I put my hand down, and my tone was as calm as water: "Elder Xiao, do you admit it?" ”

Xiao Lao didn't hesitate and nodded. He replied in his hoarse voice, almost speechless, "Indeed, I killed the man." How do you know, though. Thank you!

I walked up to Xiao Lao and pointed my finger at a few holes in Xiao Lao's clothes. Xiao Lao was very dirty. It had obviously been a long time since he had showered and changed his clothes, but his clothes, apart from those few holes, were no longer damaged. Da Zhuang has taken care of Xiao Lao for so many years, in order to get money and not attract the attention of others, Da Zhuang must occasionally help Xiao Lao clean his body and change his clothes.

Xiao Lao doesn't live in the wilderness, so his clothes are dirty at best, not tattered.

So those holes. Somewhat suspicious. When I saw Xiao Lao a few times ago, it was too dark in the house. I didn't notice the hole in Xiao Lao's clothes at all, and yesterday, I finally noticed. The traces of those holes are still relatively new, apparently they have just been opened, and the edges of the holes are sparsely twined, which means that these holes have not been cut or cut by sharp objects.

The holes in this feature seem to have been worn by something coarse. And the location of those holes is right in the abdomen, and something will be put on the abdomen and wear out Xiao Lao's clothes. The contact hole was left recently, and I immediately thought of the big rocks that killed the camel.

Xiao Lao is already old, he doesn't have much strength, he moves a few big stones, it is very difficult, the stones are sharp and angular, and under the struggle, he moves several big stones in a row, and his clothes may indeed be worn out. Moreover, it is almost human instinct to move the stone to the position of the abdomen.

The well was built by Xiao's family, and Xiao Lao would not know how deep the well was, and a few stones fell, and that height might not make a person die. The bottom of the well was dark again, and Xiao Lao couldn't see where the head of the camel was. Therefore, in order to kill the camel as soon as possible, Xiao Lao would try his best to make the height of the stone fall higher.

So he lifted the stone to the place on his abdomen, as for why he didn't lift it a little higher, it was because Xiao Lao's strength was limited, so he could only lift it to his abdomen.

The shape and characteristics of the hole, the degree of newness and the location, let me preliminarily deduce these, I was still a little unsure, but when I was about to ask Xiao Lao, I ended the inquiry without asking a word, at that time, I observed Xiao Lao's expression very carefully with the corner of my eye.

Surprise, disappointment, these emotions, he had. This made me sure that Xiao was always pretending to be stupid, and it was unlikely that a person who was already demented would have such a complicated expression. Xiao Lao pretended to be demented, I didn't ask him questions, he felt disappointed, which means that he really wanted me to ask him questions, that is, he had a message to express to me.

Xiao Lao is a victim of the Xiao family's nightmare, he survived, but he pretended to be stupid and stayed in the Xiao family's compound for more than ten years, which is absolutely abnormal: Xiao Lao also has his purpose. As for what the purpose is, it is easy to speculate that his family members were all killed, and as long as he is a normal person, he will want to find the murderer.

Therefore, I immediately thought that the purpose of Xiao Lao staying in the Xiao family's compound was to find the murderer who killed the Xiao family. Xiao Lao may have really listened to the old god's words about the curse at first, but later, maybe before the Xiao family died, or maybe after the Xiao family died, Xiao Lao sensed that something was wrong.

Xiao Lao finally didn't believe in the curse, so he wanted to find out the real culprit.

"Old Xiao, is my analysis correct?" I asked.

Xiao Lao confirmed my inference, and he let out a long sigh and looked at his old friend: the old god stick.

Xiao Lao said that he also thought that it was the old god stick or Xiao Yingfeng who killed him at first, because the curse came from the old god stick's mouth, and Xiao Yingfeng escaped on that day, and the two of them were the most suspicious. But not long after the tragedy of the Xiao family, another outsider died, at that time, the old god stick was comforting Xiao Lao in the Xiao family compound, and Xiao Yingfeng was not in the village, so Xiao Lao excluded these two people.

In order to find the real murderer, Xiao Lao took the opportunity of grieving for the Xiao family and began a long period of pretending to be crazy and stupid.

"Old Xiao, you are also a cultural person, why didn't you call the police?"

Without waiting for Xiao Lao to answer, I spoke: "It's not that Xiao Lao doesn't want to call the police, but Xiao Lao can't call the police." I paused: "As for the reason, it should be the treasure of the Xiao family." ”

According to previous speculation, the Xiao family was a household name when they first came to the village, but it was only after more than 20 years that they built a mansion and became famous, which is probably because the Xiao family was not so wealthy in the first place, but made a windfall. Looking at Xiao Lao's expression, it seems that this speculation is correct.

This money does not belong to the Xiao family, and it is even said that it is illegally gained.

Sure enough, Xiao Lao told the origin of the money. The Xiao family originally lived in a certain city in Yun Province, and at that time, their family conditions could only be regarded as average, and after listening to the old god's words, the Xiao family moved to this village. More than 20 years after arriving in the village, the Xiao family dug up several large boxes of gold in the mountains behind the village.

The year name engraved on the gold was in the dynasty a long time ago, and Xiao Lao was educated, and he knew at a glance that the treasure belonged to cultural relics. However, Xiao Lao was greedy for a while and kept the gold. Xiao Lao sold some gold and built a compound, and the rest, Xiao Lao hid in that well, Xiao Lao wanted to pass on the money from generation to generation.

In that era, Xiao Lao's practice was to be sentenced to a very serious crime, and Xiao Lao experienced a special era, in that era, as long as Xiao Lao committed a crime, no matter how tragic his family died, the public security organs would not care. Even more than ten years ago, Xiao Lao's thinking was still under the background of that special era.

As soon as the public security organs intervened, the matter of the treasure would definitely be found out, so Xiao Lao could not call the police at all.

So, Xiao Lao began his own investigation of the murderer who wiped out the Xiao family, pretending to be stupid just to let the murderer relax his vigilance, the Xiao family, only he survived, he didn't think the murderer would be so merciful, but because he was lucky and escaped, so he thought the murderer would come to kill him again.

But he waited for a long time, and the murderer did not appear. Just when he was about to give up, Da Zhuang entered the Xiao family's compound. Xiao Lao suspected that Da Zhuang did it, but not long after, Da Zhuang began to talk to Xiao Lao. In Da Zhuang's eyes, Xiao Lao is a fool, and when people are extremely excited, they often talk to animals or people who can't understand their own words.

So, Xiao Lao knew that Da Zhuang entered the courtyard just to find treasures, and he didn't kill people.

After a very long period of searching, the real culprit still failed to show up. Xiao Lao even thought that the murderer had left the village, but the outsiders who had stayed in the village for more than three days died one by one......
