327, facing the ghost woman Qiao Lanxiang
It was a north-facing room, dark and damp, with a musty smell of perennial sunlight in the air. 尒^.*説._蔟. An old-fashioned carved wooden bed, a tattered table with two drawers, an old black-and-white television, a stool, a wardrobe that no longer saw its color, an old-fashioned wooden box, and a toilet that smelled of urine.
It's too shabby.
If it weren't for the fact that he had heard so many rumors before seeing her, Li Xu would really only see Qiao Lanxiang as an ordinary old lady, in her nineties, with a wrinkled face, deep and shallow spots on her skin, deep sunken eye sockets, gray and gray hair, thin and hunchbacked, hands like withered branches, because of missing teeth, her mouth was in the shape of a deflated mouth, and she felt a little funny, as if she had a piece of candy.
Chang Kun had hope when he first saw Qiao Lanxiang, thinking that she would say something no matter how the police came, even if she shook her head and nodded, but unfortunately it was too beautiful, Qiao Lanxiang didn't care at all, let you ask questions one after another, she just stared at you sadly, without any reaction. So Chang Kun gradually stopped expecting her, and this time he was even more discouraged, and he was not very willing to look directly at Qiao Lanxiang's dry eyes.
Li Xu understood this, so he didn't plan to hear anything from Qiao Lanxiang's mouth from the beginning. She just wanted to see what a person who died and was resurrected was like, why he suddenly never spoke a word again after being resurrected, why his temperament changed greatly after the resurrection, why he no longer liked to scold and make a lot of noise like before, and why he didn't even have the heavy smoking addiction he used to have after the resurrection. Are these psychological or physiological changes, or are they some mysterious changes that cannot be explained by modern science?
She was really curious, what kind of resurrection from the dead can make a person keep his appearance the same, and everything else is like a different person?
Also, did she suddenly become dumb, or did she not want to speak?
Or is it that you don't dare to speak?
Li Xu always suspected in his heart that the real Qiao Lanxiang was actually dead, and the one in front of him was fake, so he couldn't speak, for fear of revealing flaws. So after Li Xu came out of her room, he called Zhang Hong outside and revealed the suspicions in his heart to her.
As a result, Zhang Hong held his stomach and laughed, saying: "The brains of you people in the city are more complex than those of us rural people, and you can think of this kind of thing." Impossible, I've lived in this house for five years, and I still can't recognize my wife? ”
Li Xu looked at the other party's bulging belly, and was in a trance, confused, the time is not right, the villagers all said that Zhang Hong's husband disappeared shortly after getting married, that is, when he was almost pregnant, so it was only the second half of last year, how could she live in this house for five years?
Zhang Hong saw Li Xu's thoughts, his face was full of shame, and he lowered his head and said embarrassedly: "I got married once before, and I didn't marry well, and that man beat me too hard." I had to run away and join my elementary school classmate, my future husband, who let me stay at home and fought a few fights for me with the man who came to the door. Last year, the man came to divorce me, and I officially got married here, so I have lived in this house for almost five years. ”
It turned out that there was such a reason in it, no wonder the people in the village said that Qiao Lanxiang used to look down on this granddaughter-in-law, and she couldn't make trouble with her at every turn, but then her temperament changed and she suddenly became harmonious, which was very weird.
Zhang Hong experienced all the changes before and after Qiao Lanxiang's resurrection, and Li Xu was a little negligent before.
But even this cannot completely rule out the possibility that Qiao Lanxiang was faked. Li Xu said that she was too naïve at that time to be young and innocent, and never thought that there would really be such a thing as resurrection from the dead in the world, so she thought that she was impersonated by someone. And even the reason is about to come out. It's true. She always felt that something was wrong, why were all people about to die, and these people were still dead and left in the village regardless of their lives, there must be some unusual reason, and the person who pretended to be Qiao Lanxiang came for this reason, she felt that this was the only logical reasoning.
Li Xu got headlong into the horns, and it wasn't until a few days later that she discovered something wrong in the photos, and then completely overturned the idea that she had been so firm that it was almost explosive.
When they left Qiao Lanxiang's house and returned to the office that day, Lao Miao had already returned, and he had come back with a new discovery.
He found two cigarette butts in the courtyard of Chen Qiaobin's house, which were located under the window of his bedroom. This is unusual. Because Chen Qiaobin himself does not smoke, and every evening he cleans his room and yard, making it very clean inside and out, the police observed him and came to the conclusion that he has a habit of cleanliness, so early in the morning under the window outside his bedroom found that the cigarette butt was indeed abnormal.
Lao Miao also carefully inquired about it, and no one had ever come to his house in the past few days, that is to say, there must be someone, for a certain purpose, who climbed over the wall and entered the hospital without Chen Qiaobin being aware of it, and hid under the window of his bedroom to peep at his life.
I can smoke two cigarettes, and the time to peep is not short.
Moreover, this man is really bold and stupid, what if the window is not tightly cracked and the smell of smoke wafts inside? What if Chen Qiaobin hears the sound of a lighter?
Li Xu made a list on the paper, among the villagers, Yu Wei, Yu Guodong, and Yu Suzhou all smoked; In addition to Shi Ling and Lou Mingjiang, all of them in the task force smoked. Recently, even Chang Kun has been pumping, and he is becoming more and more addicted and can't stop.
Qiao Lanxiang used to smoke it, but after she came back from the dead, she stopped smoking it.
The two cigarette butts that Lao Miao picked up were of the same brand, which could not help them target specific people, because since the closure of the village, all the daily food supplies in the village have been purchased by the car of the task force from the mountain, including cigarettes and alcohol, so everyone smokes the same brand.
But Li Xu found that one of the cigarette butts had a small dark brown mark on it, which was obvious, but he couldn't tell what it was. After studying for a long time, I could only ask the driver stationed at the entrance of the village to send both cigarette butts back to the bureau for testing.
Li Xu was faintly judging in his heart at that time, but he didn't say anything, and wanted to wait for the results to come before analyzing them carefully.
Since Shi Ling returned to the task force and had an unobstructed view of Chang Kun's love, there was an inexplicable gap between her and Li Xu, and they couldn't cross it. Li Xu really wanted to tell her that it didn't matter, and if he liked Chang Kun, he would chase him. But it seems that she can't say it. After thinking about it for a long time, the more she thought about it, the more her head hurt, and Li Xu finally realized that she was really not good at dealing with this kind of thing, so she was ruthless and simply left it alone.
The most difficult thing to manage in these years is love, God is willing to let them develop as they want, she can't control it, and she doesn't want to manage it.
Li Xu said that even later, even now, she is still very amateur in love, and she can't figure out how to control the balance and how to cherish the other party, and she is completely confused. When she said this, she smiled bitterly and wanted to light a cigarette again, but as soon as the lighter was turned on, she immediately remembered the chaos before, so she forcibly held back, and it was very hard.
I saw that she was really miserable, so I let her smoke, saying that it was not necessary to smoke a cigarette that would choke all of us in the house. She was biting the cigarette butt with her teeth and looking at me with a smile in her eyes, looking a little mischievous.
She lit a cigarette and said that the embarrassment between her and Shi Ling four years ago was fine, but it was over when she was busy and messy, but it was troublesome at night, they had to sleep in the same room and the same bed every night, so sometimes, the silence when no one spoke suddenly was still very difficult.
That night, both of them were lying on the bed looking at the ceiling, no one spoke, embarrassed to death, Li Xu wanted to go out to breathe.
As soon as she sat up, she was suddenly grabbed by Shi Ling.
Li Xu was startled by her swift and powerful movements, turned his face to look, and saw Shi Ling's face in a hurry, and his eyes revealed hidden fear, and he couldn't help but be startled again, and quickly asked her what was wrong.
Shi Ling said she felt something was wrong with the village.
She said it was too quiet.
She said it was unrealistically quiet.
Li Xu was brought into the mood by her, and pricked up her ears to listen, really, too quietly, except for the occasional muffled cough of Lao Miao who was still in the hall and the sound of someone else turning over the material, there was no other sound.
It's not that there is no other sound in this house, it's that there is no sound in the whole village.
Not even a dog barked.
Only then did they suddenly remember that they had been in the village for several days, and they hadn't even seen a pig, a dog, a chicken, a duck, a goose, or anything.
Is there any rural village like this?
Li Xu turned over and got out of bed, walked to the window, looked up at the ocean-like sky, and was surprised that they had only discovered this now, and all their attention was focused on the case, so they ignored the things next to them. She was now worried that something else would be ignored as well.
She told Shi Ling to sleep well, not to think about anything, and walked into the hall by herself.
Lao Miao and Chang Kun sat there facing each other and smoked, no one spoke, and when they saw Li Xu, they raised their eyes and asked her why she hadn't slept yet.
Li Xu told Shi Ling what he had just discovered, there are no poultry, no livestock, and not even a dog to guard the house in this village, which is too abnormal.
Lao Miao and Chang Kun looked at each other, looking suspicious, obviously never thought about this, once reminded, they all felt wrong, Lao Miao got up and was about to go out to find a villager to come back and ask, before he reached the staircase, he suddenly heard a chaotic noise at the gate downstairs, there were shouts, scolding, women's crying, and then the sound of kicking the door, and then someone knocked down the stool and knocked over the cup, stacked up one by one, where can a few people upstairs stay, all went downstairs.
Li Xu knew that the villagers would explode sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast, and it would be due to Suzhou and Yu Qiaoqiao, the two most honest and introverted people, who were in chaos first.
