Inexplicably, I thought about this question.

Xu Zhonghua was stunned, as if he didn't react to why I asked such a question, he was stunned a little, but he was at a loss, "What color?" At that time, the cat swept too fast, and the surroundings were too dark, and I didn't see what color the cat was, I just felt that it was black......"

Dark?

Hearing Xu Zhonghua say this, my heart suddenly chuckled, something flashed through my mind, I seemed to grasp something, but I didn't catch anything.

"And then?" The thought flashed so quickly that I didn't have time to grasp it, so I could only continue to ask.

"Then, and then I fled back......" When he said these words, Xu Zhonghua didn't seem to feel how embarrassing it was for a big man to run back when he saw Nan Nan smiling, but his voice trembled slightly, as if he felt gasp when he mentioned it now.

I wondered, "Didn't you catch up?" Didn't do anything else? ”

Since Nan Nan is so weird, but she happened to be bumped into by Xu Zhonghua, it seems that she should do something like killing her mouth, but Xu Zhonghua shook her head, her voice was still slightly cold, "No, after I ran upstairs, she stood in the courtyard and watched for a while, and then went back to her room." ”

That's how it ended?

I touched what Xu Zhonghua said again, and I always felt that there seemed to be something missing in the whole thing, but if I think about it carefully, I don't know what is missing, after all, this incident is Xu Zhonghua's personal experience, and the narrative is also complete, I inferred so out of thin air, naturally I can't deduce what he said to me.

"Little brother, you've been asking me for so long, and I haven't asked you yet, after you go down, you'll die? You haven't touched anything? Just as I was contemplating and thinking, Xu Zhonghua suddenly spoke, and regained his usual calm.

Without waiting for me to answer, Xu Zhonghua took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, then lit a cigarette with a lighter, inhaled hard, and then spewed out a mouth.

Inside the room, there was soon a smell of smoke, which made the atmosphere in the room even more solemn.

"That's right, when I went down, Nan Nan died, and her body was cold." I briefly told me how I went down and touched the corpse, "If you really found something, it was that after we went to the Westinghouse to check it out, when we went to the main house again, there seemed to be a shadow of something flashing in the Westinghouse." It's just that I don't see what that thing is. ”

Xu Zhonghua held a cigarette between his slender fingers, and then repeated my words with a frown, "A shadow flashed? What shadow would that be? Could it be that the disappearance of Nannan's body has something to do with that shadow? ”

I smiled wryly, I have no way to answer this question.

However, after the conversation just now, except for a few doubts about my narration process of Xu Zhonghua, the atmosphere between us seems to have eased a lot from the tense moment just now.

"Who's going to do it?" Xu Zhonghua had completely forgotten that he was still smoking, and let the cigarette butt quickly burn in the direction of his fingers, and his voice was endlessly melancholy, "Just do it to Nannan, now even her body has been taken away, where can we go to find the body of the boss lady?" ”

After Xu Zhonghua said this, there was a rush of footsteps in the courtyard, listening to the footsteps, it seemed like two people. Xu Zhonghua and I glanced at each other, walked out of the house together, and looked into the courtyard from the second floor.

The proprietress walked into the yard with a man of her age, and the proprietress still looked anxious, and rushed back to the yard with hurried steps like a gust of wind. The man followed closely behind the proprietress and called the proprietress several times in succession, and said anxiously: "Shumei, don't get angry, you must be fine if you are such a big person......

Hearing this voice, we instantly understood that this man was the mistress of the boss. Such a big thing happened in the hostess's house, he would definitely come out.

We also know that from the still anxious expression of the proprietress that she should have found nothing after looking for such a large circle, and found nothing.

This is to be expected.

It's just that we were a little surprised by the appearance of this man. So, ever since I found out who this man was, I have been keeping an eye on that man to see what he really looks like.

When the man got closer, I took a closer look at the man's face, and I saw that he was of medium height and stature, and he was quite modest for his age, but there was always an uncomfortable light in his eyes. Especially when he looked up at us, those eyes were purring, and he didn't look like a person of duty.

I don't think I think of their lingering last night, I know that a woman like the boss, who has been widowed for many years, is easily seduced by this kind of man, and it is not surprising.

It's just that after seeing this man, I suddenly wondered, does the murder and disappearance of Nan Nan have anything to do with this man? After all, listening to the meaning of the proprietress and this man, Nan Nan seems to be against their relationship, which is indeed the biggest obstacle for this man.

Could it be that the proprietress still has something at home that this man covets, so he wants it wholeheartedly?

As I thought about this, the man had already seen us, whispered a few words to the hostess, and then looked at us several times.

I originally thought that this man would definitely take the opportunity to push the matter of Nannan's disappearance on us, but what I didn't expect was that after this man sent the emotional proprietress back to the main house, he actually came to the second floor and politely thanked us, "I heard Shumei say, after Nannan's disappearance, it was all the two of you who helped to find it, and she is now in a hurry, her eyes are all daughters, and she can't take care of anything, I thank you two on behalf of Shumei." ”

Xu Zhonghua and I glanced at each other, and when I looked at this man's face, I knew that this man could definitely speak, but I didn't expect him to speak tightly, everything that should have been said was said, and it didn't fall at all, and even the inconsiderate things done by the boss lady were mentioned, which made me secretly impressed with him.

"This big brother, you came here to find us, not only to thank us, but also to say something, right?" After waiting for the man to finish speaking, I also made a polite gesture, then stared closely at the man's eyes, and asked with a serious face: "I guess, what I want to say at this time must have something to do with Nannan." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, and then he gave me a thumbs up and praised: "Little brother has good eyesight, you can see at a glance that I have something to say to you." That's right, I have something to say, and it has something to do with Nannan...... I'll tell you the truth, I expected her to go missing. ”

It really stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, Xu Zhonghua and I couldn't help but glance at each other, and we both saw surprise and surprise in each other's eyes - this man came to us enough to surprise us, I didn't expect this man to come up with such an earth-shattering sentence!

"You expected her to go missing?" I tried to contain my surprise and asked the man kindly, "Big brother, can you tell me what's going on?" What happened to make you think you might be missing? ”

When I asked this, I immediately disrupted all my previous speculations, and was mentally prepared to accept all the shocking things that this man had said:

Unexpectedly, the man just opened his mouth to speak, and as if he suddenly reacted to something, he quickly walked to the door, closed the door of Xu Zhonghua's room, and then sat back in his seat, looked at us and said, "This matter is going to start from ten days ago." ”

Ten days ago?

"Okay, don't worry, you speak slowly, we listen slowly." For fear of disturbing the man's train of thought, I tried to keep my voice as soft as possible, and encouraged the man to continue with my eyes.

"You should also know that the beautiful man died more than ten years ago. Shumei will go to the grave every once in a while, which can be regarded as a kind of longing for her man. The man continued: "Ten days ago, a man in the village went down to the field and came back to tell Shumei that it had rained a few days ago, and a big hole had collapsed in Shumei's grave, and asked her to go over and see if she needed to repair it. As soon as she heard about this, Shumei didn't say anything about it, but Nan Nan was the first to run to her father's grave with a hoe, saying that she would repair her father's grave. This kind of thing, Shumei definitely couldn't let Nan Nan go alone, so she hurried over. ”

At this, the man paused slightly, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Xu Zhonghua and I both expected that the cause of the incident was probably the collapsed grave, and we also knew that the main event was coming, so we didn't urge, so we just waited for the man to continue to talk.

Sure enough, the man paused slightly, and then continued: "I also heard about this at the time, and knew that Shumei would definitely not repair such a thing as a woman's family, so I also took a shovel or something and followed her to her cemetery, thinking that if they couldn't reach out, I would help again, firstly, to help Shumei, and secondly, to ask for a favor in front of this child, so that things between me and Shumei may be better in the future." I'm fine with Shumei when I'm young, I haven't married a daughter-in-law for so many years, but I'm still worried about Shumei...... Ahem, ahem, it's far away, let's move on. ”

I didn't expect this, this man and the boss lady are actually childhood sweethearts, and for the boss lady to be so old and not marry a daughter-in-law, it's really infatuated. This is very different from what I saw from his face for the first time.

Could it be that I'm blind?

While I was stumbling around, the man had already begun to talk again, "We just talked about going to the graveyard to repair the grave, so let's continue with this. At that time, they rushed to the cemetery one after the other, and I rushed to the cemetery with their mothers and sons. But you don't know that when I arrived at the cemetery, something terrible happened! ”

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhonghua and I couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't you just say that the grave of the beautiful man collapsed, and when I arrived, the two of them actually fell into the graveyard!" At this point, the man's face finally showed doubt and fear, and a pair of eyes swept towards us, "You say, the ground around is good, and the collapsed place is so big, why did they fall?" ”
