Chapter 359: The Boy by the Bridge
As soon as Team Li heard the words of Luo Feng's subordinates, he immediately asked, "What's wrong with that little stone bridge?" Luo Feng's subordinates realized that they were too anxious, and they directly exposed me to ask them about Xiaoshiqiao in front of others, I didn't care, I just shrugged my shoulders.
I wanted to be so vague, but Team Li held on to it, and he kept asking why we were investigating Xiaoshiqiao. There are only two stone bridges in Yuanxi Town, one large and one small, and we all said that they are small stone bridges. Of course, Team Li knows which one it is, and no one cares about the collapse of the small stone bridge so far, so the small stone bridge is worth investigating.
Seeing that I still didn't answer, Team Li began to threaten me again: "Fang Han, you forgot what I said so quickly, I have many ways to get you to leave Yuanxi Town immediately." My brow furrowed, and I told Team Li directly that I hated it most when people negotiated terms with me. I hate others for threatening me.
Team Li is struggling, and I don't want to be a soft persimmon. Team Li saw that my tone was calm, his tone was not as tough as before, but his attitude did not change at all, he smiled and said to me: "Fang Han, it is natural for the masses to cooperate with the police investigation, how can it be said that it is forced?" ”
I knew that Team Li had decided on me, Luo Feng's subordinates stood aside with their heads down, causing trouble, and he didn't dare to talk more. I took a deep breath and took a step back, telling Team Li that Master Mei had stared at the collapsed small stone bridge several times. And once prevented the townspeople of Yuanxi Town from demolishing the small stone bridge.
As for what Luo Feng's subordinates just heard, I didn't say it, because I didn't know it yet. I told Team Lee. I can cooperate with the police investigation, but I don't want them to press too hard, Team Li achieved his goal, smiled at me and nodded, saying that since we can find out, he can too. The ferryman was scared, Yan, and Brother Guan looked at Sister Zhang
This is the truth, Luo Feng's subordinates went to inquire about the residents of Yuanxi Town, which is not a difficult thing for the police, and even if the residents of Yuanxi Town do not say anything to us, they will tell the police that the authority of the police exists everywhere. Finally. Team Lee let us go.
With a gloomy face, I took Luo Feng's men back to the hotel, our mood had been ruined by Team Li, and after returning to the hotel, Luo Feng's men told me about the small stone bridge. They said that after I told them to go out and inquire about Xiaoshiqiao, they questioned the entire town of Yuanxi again.
Most people only know that this stone bridge is specially for the dead. And this statement first came from Master Mei, which I have known for a long time. When the townspeople of Yuanxi Town wanted to demolish the small stone bridge, Master Mei stood up to stop it, saying that the small stone bridge was specially for the dead to walk, and once it was demolished, it would be full of resentment, and Yuanxi Town would inevitably be in great trouble.
So after so many years, the small stone bridge has not been demolished, and no one dares to walk on the small stone bridge again. The history of the small stone bridge has been very long, although it is dilapidated, but if it were not for the sudden heavy rain that washed it away, the small stone bridge would definitely be able to hold out for a while.
Luo Feng's subordinates asked most of Yuanxi Town, and everyone said so. There are many strange legends in Yuanxi Town, and this small stone bridge is also one of them, and some residents are reluctant to mention the small stone bridge at all, just as they are unwilling to mention the Dongshan Xiujia. Those who were willing to speak just wanted to send Luo Feng's subordinates away with just a few words.
Instead of giving up, they continued to go door-to-door to gather information, and after asking for a while to no avail, they became smarter and changed their method of inquiry. They knew that the reason why I would investigate this stone bridge was because Master Mei was always staring at the stone bridge, and because I suspected that the stone bridge might have something to do with the Xiu family, so when they asked me next, they directly related the stone bridge to Master Mei.
The residents are taboo about the Xiu family, and Luo Feng's subordinates don't dare to mention the Xiu family easily, but Master Mei, everyone is not so taboo. Master Mei, who became a corpse chaser without a master, was reluctant to touch him, but there was no hostility or deep taboo towards him. Sure enough, it didn't take long for someone to think about it.
Luo Feng's subordinates asked if Master Mei had anything to do with Shiqiao at the earliest. As we all know, Master Mei left Yuanxi Town when he was a child, and not long after he returned, he became a corpse chaser. After becoming a corpse chaser, Master Mei didn't seem to have any special relationship with Shiqiao, so Luo Feng's subordinates focused on Master Mei before he left Yuanxi Town.
In fact, he didn't ask anything at first, Luo Feng's subordinates asked all the way to the residents who lived near Xiaoshiqiao and the neighborhood of Master Mei's house, and finally inquired. Those people said they remembered that when they were very young, Master Mei would often play by the small stone bridge.
I immediately felt that something was wrong, after so many years, a child liked to play on the edge of the small stone bridge, and not many people will remember it, because it was a very ordinary thing. I asked them if something big had happened when Master Mei was playing on the edge of the small stone bridge, so everyone was impressed.
Sure enough, my speculation was correct. They told me that they had inquired and found out that Master Mei had almost drowned on the edge of the small stone bridge. Back then, because of the fortune teller, Master Mei didn't have a name at all, and everyone called Master Mei Amei like a girl.
At that time, Master Mei was just a child, the Yuan River was not deep, and the water was not turbulent, but for a child, it was still a little dangerous. Everyone still remembers that at that time, there had just been a heavy rain in Yuanxi Town, but it was not as heavy as it had a few days ago.
Yuanxi was full a lot, after the heavy rain stopped, the water in Yuanxi did not recede immediately, Master Mei was playing by Yuanxi at that time, and accidentally fell from the small stone bridge into Yuanxi, and almost died. At that time, the situation was indeed very critical, it had just rained heavily, there was no one near Yuanxi, and only a pregnant woman with a child passed by, but she couldn't swim, and her physical condition was not suitable to go into the water.
She could only scream in fright, Master Mei couldn't swim, and just when he almost drowned in Yuanxi, a person suddenly jumped into Yuanxi and rescued him. That person is also a teenager, and he is only a little older than Master Mei, he can swim, but just after the rainstorm in Yuanxi, there are a lot of debris, and when he went into the water, the young man's body was also cut, injured, and almost died in Yuanxi.
Risking his life, a teenager rescued another teenager, Luo Feng's subordinates inquired about it, this incident, at that time in Yuanxi, became a big story for a while, because the boy who saved Master Mei has a much higher status than Master Mei in the eyes of ordinary people.
My brows furrowed slightly, Luo Feng's subordinates still didn't say who the young man was when they said this, but in my heart, there was a faint speculation. I didn't rush and let Luo Feng's subordinates continue. Luo Feng's subordinates nodded and continued to tell me that from that time, the two teenagers became good friends, and they would often play on the edge of Yuanxi, and their feelings were like brothers.
But not long after, Master Mei was taken away from Yuanxi Town by his family, and he was in a hurry, and he didn't even sell his family's house. Master Mei's family background is not very good, and everyone can't figure out why Master Mei's family is in such a hurry to leave, at least, they have to sell the house for some money, instead of leaving the house idle.
However, later on, everyone didn't think too much, and some people said that Master Mei's family might return to Yuanxi Town.
The tragedy of the Xiu family happened after Master Mei's family left Yuanxi Town, and the time interval between these two events is not too long or short, so there should be no connection. It's not that Luo Feng's subordinates don't tell me the identity of the teenager, but those residents either don't say it, or refer to the teenager's name with titles like "teenager" and "that person".
Everyone says that the small stone bridge has witnessed a long period of time between the two teenagers.
Luo Feng's subordinates inquired about this, and I smiled slightly: "The boy by the bridge, I know who it is." ”
