"Mauritius is a beautiful island country with sugar and a strong tourism industry. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info"The old man seems to be giving me both a geography lesson.

"You... You know astronomy and geography, you are really a learned person. I said with half admiration and half flattery.

"I'm an old farmer who has grown crops all my life, so how can I talk about erudition. However, I am interested in geography and know a little bit about it. The old man said modestly.

"Uncle, you even know about foreign affairs. The thin monkey said in surprise.

"Haha... It just so happened that my nephew was in Mauritius, and I, after listening to his nonsense, I was now speculating and selling, and now I am ugly. After the old man finished smoking a pot of cigarettes, he knocked the dry tobacco pot on the table leg and said, "I am related to the Liu family, you two should come to my house for dinner." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and beckoned: "Let's go, my house is at the head of the village." ”

"Forget it, uncle, I won't trouble you. We'll just have a bite to eat in town later. I excused myself.

The village is seven or eight miles away from the town, and it is only a 10-minute drive. I thought to myself: In this poor village, I'm afraid every family is not rich.

"Do you think we are poor?" asked the old man unhappily when he saw that we were not going to eat.

"No, we just don't want to bother you. I hastened to explain.

"If you two really don't want to go, I won't force it. However, there is one thing you two have to make clear before leaving. The old man said quietly.

I was stunned and thought to myself: As soon as this old man entered the house, I felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and this premonition was indeed correct.

"What's the matter?" I asked.

"I want to ask: Where is Liu Jian?" asked the old man solemnly.

"As we made clear, he works in Mauritius. I gritted my teeth and said. I thought to myself: since I have already said this, I can't change it, and if I change it, it will cause greater suspicion.

The old man looked at me and said word by word: "It seems that you two are unwilling to tell the truth." ”

"I... We're telling the truth. "My heart was a little empty, and I thought: It's better to tell the truth, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble like in Xiaozao's house. However, I thought about it again, Liu Jian repeatedly explained, don't tell my mother that he is dead. I have promised Liu Jian to keep this secret.

"Come in. The old man shouted outside the house.

As if by juggling, seven or eight able-bodied young men poured in at once, and two young men at the head were holding ropes in their hands.

"These two people are toasting and don't eat and drink, don't blame me for being polite. Come, bind them both. The old man waved the dry smoke pot.

As soon as the old man gave the order, seven or eight young men pounced on me and the skinny monkey like hungry wolves.

"Mom, it hurts to twist my arm. The skinny monkey shouted.

I held back the pain and didn't say a word.

In less than a minute, Skinny Monkey and I were tied up by Wuhuada.

The old man smiled and knocked the thin monkey's head with a dry tobacco pot and said, "Let me ask you: Where is Liu Jian and what are you doing?"

The thin monkey shouted at the top of his voice: "I won't say anything if I am killed!"

"Okay, since you don't say it, then I'm welcome. The old man waved his hand, and the four strong men rushed up, raised their hands and dragged their legs, and carried the thin monkey to a big tree outside the house.

"Hang him up. The old man ordered.

When I saw that the thin monkey was about to be hoisted up a tree, I quickly shouted, "He doesn't know anything, let him go." Ask me something. ”

The old man smiled and said to me, "Then just say: Where is Liu Jian? What are you doing? To be honest, I will let you two go, otherwise, hang them up to the tree together." When to open your mouth to tell the truth, when to put it down. ”

"Uncle, if you let others avoid it, I can only say it to you. "I thought about it, looking at this frame, it is not possible not to tell the truth. However, I hope that the old man will be able to keep what I say secret.

"Okay, you all retreat out of the courtyard. The old man waved the dry smoke pot.

"Uncle, you let them untie the rope, we can't run anyway. "I was tied with rope and my arms were numb.

"Untie them together. The old man ordered.

As soon as the rope was untied, I quickly moved my arm and said angrily: "These guys are so barbaric, they tied us up like brown seeds, strictly speaking, this is a private torture hall, and it is illegal." ”

"Hmph, if you don't give you two a little bit of a taste, can you tell the truth?" said the old man with a blow of his beard and glaring.

I said to the thin monkey, "You can cool off in the yard, and I'll go inside and talk to the old man for a while." ”

Regarding Liu Jian, I don't want the thin monkey to know too much.

As soon as I entered the house, the old man warned me: "Don't play cunning, tell the truth quickly, or the flesh will suffer." ”

I sighed deeply and said, "Liu Jian died more than half a year ago. ”

"Dead?!" the old man staggered.

I hurriedly grabbed the old man and sat him down.

The old man raised his head and asked, "You say it again: What's wrong with Liu Jian?"

"Liu Jian was killed. I repeated.

"How could it be?" the old man still didn't seem to believe it, and muttered, "How could he be killed by someone when he has such a strong body and is so brutal?"

Suddenly, the old man raised his head and asked, "It is impossible for Liu Jian to die, if he was really killed, why didn't the public security department notify the village?"

More than half a year ago, after Liu Jian was killed, his head was cut off, and now, the body is still refrigerated in the morgue of the criminal investigation team of the Public Security Bureau. Because the identity of the body has not yet been clarified, there is no way to notify the family. I explained.

"Since the identity of the corpse has not been clarified, how can we conclude that he is Liu Jian?" asked the old man again.

I looked at the old man, thought for a while, and said: "Recently, the police got a new clue, and preliminarily concluded that the identity of the body was Liu Jian, but they can't draw a conclusion yet. However, I am a friend of Liu Jian, and I know the characteristics of his body, so I went to the morgue to see it myself, and I can say with certainty: that body is Liu Jian. ”

"Did you see the corpse?" the old man's eyes flashed with suspicion.

I nodded and said, "I have a friend who is in the criminal investigation team, and he took me to see it." ”

"Oh. "The old man seems to have taken my word for it.

"Uncle, the reason why I lied that Liu Jian went abroad to work was because I didn't want to irritate my aunt. You also know: it is very sad for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. I explained.

"You said that Liu Jian brought back 100,000 yuan from abroad and wanted to build three tiled houses for his mother, what is going on?" the old man asked.

"I am a friend of Liu Jian, and I heard him say that there are only two broken grass houses in his family, and he has always wanted to save money to build three large tiled houses for his family. Now, the tiled house is unbuilt, but he is dead. As a friend of Liu Jian, I hope to help him realize this wish. ”
