Chapter 509: Letters
I glanced at the big hurdle again, then closed the window and turned to look around. There were no books in this room at all, in this materially poor area. Very few people have access to education, not to mention Rena's home, even in the entire village of Kuta, there are few books.
Could it be a book that Rena burned? I don't think it's very likely, according to Doha, after Gena's husband died, there were also many villagers who would visit Gena's house, and books were a rarity, and if Gena had one or two copies in her house, the whole village would definitely know about it.
Of course, it is possible for Rena to hide the books, but it is unlikely, and I think that Rena burned a thin page compared to this. If the whole book is burned, it will produce a relatively large flame, and the flame will fall into the garbage heap of Dakan. It is also likely to set the garbage heap on fire.
And in the case of a single page, the fire is extinguished before the ashes fall to the ground. I went through every nook and cranny of Rena's house again, and some of the things we had neglected before were now abnormal in my eyes. I first found a few blank sheets of paper in a drawer at Rena's house, and then a pen in a drawer.
People in the village rarely have the opportunity to be educated, but it is not particularly uncommon for them to be able to write a word or two. This pen and paper had been discovered by us before, but we all thought it was a normal object, so we ignored it. However, I connected the paper with the small paper object that Rena had burned.
What Rena burned is probably an epistle! Note: P-can be watched
I strode out of Rena's house. Adili and the other detectives were standing outside the door, and when they saw me coming out, Adili immediately asked me how the search was, and I didn't bother to answer him, and went around the back of Gena's house. Our move attracted a lot of villagers. They didn't dare to come, but they were all staring at us from a distance.
I searched for a while, and finally found a way down to the big hill behind Rena's house. It was full of garbage and stinking, and when I looked up, I could clearly see the windowsill of Rena's house. I endured the stench and slowly searched through the garbage heap.
There's a lot of garbage in this place. Maybe the villagers in the village have thrown their garbage here. When I was looking, Doha and Adiri were here, and they had no idea what I was looking for, and they didn't get into trouble. Adiri shouted at me from above and asked me what I was looking for.
I took a look at the garbage heap, and on the whole, the place was relatively dry, and there was even a lot of dust on it, which was caused by the sand that had been blown up by the desert and fell on it. In the border provinces, there is very little rainfall, so I naturally did not come here to look for traces that have been burned to ashes, according to my speculation, Rena may have burned letters.
Instead of answering Adiri's question, I asked if it had rained in Doha in the past six months, and Doha thought about it carefully and told me that it had only rained for a few minutes or less than a few minutes.
If it is a letter, it is generally delivered by post, because if it is a letter delivered in close proximity or by hand, it is completely unnecessary to speak clearly directly in person, and using the letter is completely redundant. Distant mailing, there must be envelopes or stamps, and I'm betting to see if I can find something that Zena overlooked.
Generally speaking, the contents of the letter are secret, and the envelope is less confidential, and I hope I can try my luck and see if there are any burned parts. It didn't rain very much, and the paper didn't get drenched.
After getting Doha's confirmation, I searched more closely. It was dirty, but I didn't have time to pay attention to it, and finally, after I had been rummaging through the garbage for dozens of minutes, I found a small thin note, which, when I looked closely, looked like it had been torn from the envelope seal.
I was delighted and immediately continued to look for it, and after a long struggle, I found more and more small notes and confetti, which also looked like they had been torn from the envelope, but only like, and I had no way to prove it 100%, until I finally found a fragment of a postage stamp.
I looked up, and where I found the stamp fragments and the envelope fragments, it was just under the windowsill of Gena's house. Villagers throw garbage, generally standing on the edge of the high ridge and throwing it down, because of this, there is more garbage on the edge of the ridge, and ordinary people will not come down.
Stamp fragments and envelope fragments are so light that they could not have been thrown from the edge of the high hurdle. So, it's more likely that these things were thrown from the windowsill of Gena's house. As you can imagine, after receiving a letter from someone, Gena stood on the windowsill to read it, and she tore open the envelope and threw down the confetti.
This does not reveal the contents of the letter, which is completely human, and the fragments of the stamp may have been accidentally torn off by Zena when she was tearing the envelope. There was no heavy rain in the place, so the debris was still lying quietly in the garbage heap. From these clues, I can basically deduce that Rena burned the letter that someone else wrote to her.
To confirm further, I asked Adiri to go door-to-door in the village and ask if anyone had thrown envelopes into the garbage dump. After Adiri left with the detectives, I was still alone in the garbage heap. But then, my luck seemed to run out, and I couldn't find any further clues.
I put the pieces in the bag and went back to Rena's house. I was stained with the stench of the garbage heap, and I searched for a while at Gena's house, but I found nothing new than the clues I had already gathered. Doha took me to his house for a shower, and we left all our luggage at Doha's house.
Doha worked as a doctor in the city for a few years and accumulated wealth, but her parents were used to life in the village and did not live in the city with Doha, so Doha rebuilt her parents' house, and the houses of other families in the village were only two floors at most, while Doha's house had four floors.
Since Doha found out that I was a friend of Dr. Zhou's attitude, her attitude has obviously changed, and she is also enthusiastic and offers us a room at her house. After taking a bath, Adili came back, because it was just a simple inquiry, and there were not many people in the village, so Adili was very fast.
Adiri told me that the entire village denied throwing garbage into the dump. He also inquired, and in the whole village, only Doha knew how to read, and the others were illiterate at all, so it was impossible to receive and write letters. The village is backward, and Doha is the only one who has stepped out of the village and achieved something.
Others, who have inherited their father's craft or livelihood skills for generations, will not have anyone to send them letters at all.
I'm even more sure that the letter is Gena's.
"Will the postman deliver new arrivals to the village?" I asked Doha and Adili.
Doha knew more than Adili, and she told me that the postman would only deliver letters in the main city, not in the village. Generally speaking, no one will send a letter to the people in the village, and even if someone does, there are relatives or friends who are away from home, in this case, the people in the village know that there may be their own letters.
Villagers who may have letters will go to the post office in Fanshi every once in a while, and if they have their own letters, they will pick them up.
After Rena was widowed, she lived in the village for a long time, so she must have followed the rules of this remote place to receive letters.
"Captain Adili, send another person out to see if the post office has a record of Rena receiving letters." I said to Adili.
Including Adili, there are only four criminal policemen who accompanied me into the village, and one of them has already gone out of the village to deliver bedding, and now, Adili has sent another criminal policeman out of the village. The back and forth is fast, but it takes time for them to do something, so at least tomorrow, they may come back.
The police force is insufficient, and I am also quite helpless.
After explaining everything, Adiri and Doha and I went door to door and ask again.
There are three things to investigate in this village, one is the disappearance of Rena, one is a coffin in the desert, and one is the mysterious death of a deceased who returned home for the first seven nights.
The process of questioning, the question was asked by me, and Adiri and Doha were in charge of paraphrasing and translating. The most ^new ^ chapter ^ section Baidu search --- blue ~ color ~ book ~ bar...
