Chapter 18: The Wanderer Returns Home

Liujiapu Village is located in a mountain col south of Chenglin Town.

In the early years, the nearby villages and towns all made a living by cutting down trees and selling timber, but with the popularization of the concept of environmental protection, the forest was no longer allowed to be cut down, and the villagers of Liujiapu Village lost their biggest source of income.

Even with the implementation of various policies and the targeted development of transportation, the village has gradually moved out of poverty.

But if you go back to 30 years ago, it was one of the biggest lows in the village in recent years.

The police honked their sirens and continued to drive towards Liujiapu Village, and about 20 minutes later, Lu Ke saw a police car parked at the entrance of the village.

"Team Lu, this is Liujiapu Village, I just confirmed with the villagers, about half an hour ago, a silver-gray sedan entered the village, the villagers did not remember the license plate number, but said that the car's logo was four circles."

Su Simon stood by Lu Ke's car window, reporting to him the latest situation.

Lu Ke nodded and asked lightly: "Have you found the location of Bian Yongshun's house?" ”

Su Simeng said seriously: "I have asked clearly, it is in the west of the village." ”

"Okay, now for the past." Lu Ke replied and started the car again.

Su Simeng also returned to his car and took the lead in driving the police car into the village, with Lu Ke driving closely behind.

Liujiapu Village is not small, with about 300 households, but today, there are less than 100 people left in the village.

With the progress of society and the development of urbanization, more and more young people choose to go out of the village and develop in the city. As young people settle in the cities, older generations also choose to leave the village and settle in the cities with their children.

At present, most of the people living in the village are empty nesters and left-behind children.

Two police cars circled around the village and finally arrived at Bian Yongshun's doorstep.

The gate of the courtyard was not locked, the police car was parked outside the courtyard, and Su Simeng was the first to walk into the courtyard.

The floor of the yard is paved with red bricks, which has broken several pieces and is very uneven.

Su Simeng had just stepped into the yard with his front feet, and suddenly found a long rut mark on the ground of the yard.

The rut prints are very obvious on the red brick and sandstone, and even the pattern of the tires is clearly visible. And the ruts are printed with traces of covering, one in and one out of two.

This indicates that in a short period of time, a car drove into the yard and left the yard again.

Hearing that Su Simon had made a new discovery, Lu Ke hurriedly got out of the car and walked into the yard to check, according to the tire width and pattern comparison, it was most likely the silver-gray Audi sedan driven by Bian Yongshun.

It seems that Bian Yongshun has really gone home.

Before he had time to think about it, Lu Ke stepped forward quickly, came to the door of the brick house, and reached out and tugged on the doorknob.

The door was locked, and looking through the window, there was no one inside.

Su Simeng took a step forward, walked to Lu Ke's side, and said: "I have inquired with the villagers, this house has always been lived in by Bian Yongshun's parents, and Bian Yongshun also has a younger brother and a younger sister, one goes to school outside, and the other works outside, that is, he only comes back during the Spring Festival." ”

Su Simeng paused, and added: "By the way, the villagers also said that during the Chinese New Year last year, Bian Yongshun came back with his daughter-in-law, and it was said that he found a rich woman. ”

Lu Ke smiled faintly, ignored it, and continued to look into the room through the window.

Mo Yufei was in the yard, took pictures of the rut marks, and also came to the window to check: "Did Bian Yongshun go home and pick up his parents?" ”

Lu Ke was a little puzzled: "A murderer, on the way home, saved the person who fell into the water, and now he is still picking up his parents and running away, it feels a little wrong." ”

Su Simeng felt that something was wrong, and said worriedly: "He is a person who even killed his own son, so he won't take his parents away as hostages, right?!" ”

"Could it be that he wasn't a murderer at all? How could a murderer save people so calmly and go home to see his parents? Mo Yufei said lightly.

"Probably neither." Lu Ke stretched out his hand and tapped the glass window and said, "Look at the things inside." ”

After hearing the voice, Su Simeng and Mo Yufei all came to the glass window and looked inside.

Inside the glass window is the kitchen, and although the windows are full of grease stains, you can still see the furnishings inside.

On the kitchen floor, there are five bags of flour, three bags of rice, six barrels of cooking oil, and various daily necessities.

All kinds of items are neatly arranged, turning the already small kitchen into a warehouse.

"Who would stock up on so many things at home?" Su Simeng said.

Mo Yufei took a deep breath, and her face became a little ugly.

She knew that at this moment, she could no longer convince herself.

Bian Yongshun went home, saw his parents for the last time, and bought a lot of things for his parents. And the things he brought back could not only be these daily necessities in the kitchen, but also include cash, gold and silver jewelry and other valuables.

Two police cars drove into Liujiapu Village, attracting onlookers from the villagers. That's the way it is in the village, nothing new at all, and any wind and grass will be known to everyone in the shortest possible time.

"Why are the police here?"

"I don't know."

"Did Bian Yongshun come back just now?"

"It should be him, I saw a man driving the car."

"Bian Yongshun bought a car? Looks like it's doing well in the city. ”

"What's the matter, my son drives around the city every day."

"You can pull it down, your son is a driver, but he doesn't drive every day."

Seeing villagers coming up from outside the courtyard, Su Simeng hurriedly went up to ask.

"Did you see Bian Yongshun coming back?" Su Simeng asked.

The crowd looked at each other, everyone became distracted, and no one was sure that they had seen Bian Yongshun, but there was indeed a person who was more similar to Bian Yongshun who drove into the village.

Su Simeng continued to ask, "Is that car still in the village?" Do you see that? ”

"I didn't see it, I should have left the village." In the crowd, a man whispered.

From Chenglin Town to Liujiapu Village, there is only this road, not to mention Bian Yongshun's Audi along the way, and I didn't even see a car.

Su Simeng thought about it, and felt more and more that something was wrong, and asked, "Is there any other way to get in and out of the village besides this road?" ”

An old man in the crowd replied, "There is a mountain road behind the village that leads to the village." ”

"Mountain road? Can I walk in the car? Su Simeng was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

The old man smiled: "Of course you can, you can still walk the truck!" In the early years, timber was transported out of the mountains, and it was the same road. ”

Su Simeng hurriedly asked, "Where does that road lead?!" ”

"It's also Chenglin Town, but it's in another direction."
