After Shen Panzhe entered the village, he began to inquire about the whereabouts of the murderer Zhao Jinding, and he was going to ask some villagers whose father's age was, after all, it had been twenty years, and the young ones should not know him.

Fortunately, when he was in high school, there was a roommate from Tashan Village, who often spoke out of his hometown dialect in the dormitory.

I didn't expect it to come in handy today.

Seeing that he asked a few pedestrians, the answers he got were quite disappointing, all of them said that they had never heard of Zhao Jinding, could it be that the information given by "Eagle" was wrong?

Probably not, they are not so boring, Shen Panzhe thought to himself, maybe Zhao Jinding is not popular, so he doesn't have much contact with others.

After a while, Shen Panzhe walked under a big old banyan tree, which seemed to have a long history.

In the summer, the big banyan tree must be a good place for the villagers to cool off, but now that the winter solstice is approaching, its leaves have withered and fallen.

At this time, there was an aunt sitting under the banyan tree, looking about fifty years old, wearing a simple and thick sweater and a brown scarf around her neck.

Shen Panzhe stepped forward, greeted politely, and asked softly, "Hello Auntie, I'm from out of town, and I'm going to ask you about someone." ”

"You say." The aunt replied politely.

"I don't know if you know Zhao Jinding?"

Hearing the words "Zhao Jinding", the aunt's eyes instantly widened, revealing a suspicious face, it seemed that she knew the existence of this person.

Then, she asked, "Son, are you looking for this person, what is his relationship with you?" ”

"That's right, he borrowed a sum of money from my dad a long time ago, and he happened to pass by here today to see if he could help my dad get it back." Shen Panzhe said calmly.

After hearing this, the aunt nodded.

"So Auntie, do you know where he is?"

"Child, I'm afraid you won't get this money back." Aunt whispered.

Shen Panzhe naturally sat next to her, began to be polite, and asked curiously, "What do you say?" ”

"This guy is lazy and lazy, doesn't do his job, and often goes to other people's houses to eat and drink, it's really not ashamed, I'll tell you secretly." The aunt lowered her voice, looked around, and said, "He has also taken poison!" ”

"Poison?!" Shen Panzhe was shocked.

"Shhhh......h ”

"Of course it's confirmed, can this still be fake, this guy used to steal our dustpans, brooms, chickens and ducks to sell them for money in exchange for drug pins." Aunt said affirmatively.

"Then he sucks." Shen Panzhe scolded angrily, indignant for his aunt.

"Not really."

"Auntie, do you know who he bought his poison pin from?" Shen Panzhe asked cautiously.

When the aunt heard this, she cast a puzzled look at him.

"Kid, what do you want to do, you must not touch that kind of thing, it's very addictive, and if you don't do it, you'll die." Aunt kindly reminded.

Suddenly, Shen Panzhe laughed lightly, a warm current flowed in his heart, and explained, "Auntie, I don't want to touch that kind of thing, I want to see if I can find that guy through drug dealers." ”

"Oh, I see, you kid scare me by talking." The aunt smiled reassuringly and replied, "Then I really don't know who sold the drug pin to him, after all, this is not a joke, if you catch it, you will go to jail, and if it is serious, you will be shot." ”

"That's right, it seems that this money will not come back." Shen Panzhe pretended to sigh, and then asked, "By the way, auntie, what about his parents, wife, son and daughter?" ”

"His parents went to work in the city after he was born, but they never came back, he grew up on his grandmother's and urine, and his elderly grandmother could only pick up garbage for money to make ends meet, and the village people often took care of them and brought them some food."

"But this guy is ungrateful, he doesn't know that he feels sorry for his grandmother, and often steals her money to gamble, it's so unconscionable, when his grandmother left, this animal actually ignored it, and finally let us neighbors come to help, and then buried the old man."

"So a guy with no conscience like him, the mud can't support the wall, which woman is willing to marry him?"

The aunt said disdainfully, her eyes full of disgust.

"That's right." Shen Panzhe nodded.

"But ......"

The aunt said again, "Twenty years ago, I don't know if there is now, he hasn't come back for twenty years, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead." ”

"Auntie, are you saying that he never came back after leaving Tashan Village twenty years ago?"

Shen Panzhe asked carefully, if he left for a few years and didn't come back in the past, but he didn't come back for twenty years, then there are two possibilities, either he hates this place very much, or he is no longer alive.

Seeing that the aunt shook her head, she said with certainty, "Every time I pass by his house to buy vegetables, I don't see a single figure except cockroaches and mice." ”

Shen Panzhe nodded, looking depressed.

This is the place where the murderer was born and raised, doesn't he really have a trace of nostalgia, even if he is spurned by all the neighbors, but the love of his homeland is engraved in his bones, and it is impossible to easily get rid of it.

Has he already ......

"No, maybe there are other possibilities!"

Shen Panzhe comforted himself, and secretly swore that he would see people in life and corpses in death, and if Zhao Jinding was really dead, he would dig out his body by digging three feet into the ground!

Let him kneel before his mother's grave and be judged!

Finally learned from the aunt that the address of Zhao Jinding's house, Shen Panzhe got up and went, and after a while, he came to the door of a tiled house, which was backed by a pond, and the road section was remote, surrounded by wild grass.

The old wooden door was unlocked, and when he saw Shen Panzhe touch it lightly, it opened, accompanied by a babbling sound.

At a glance, the four walls of the house are unobstructed.

The bridge has been eaten by insects and ants, and it is in danger of collapsing at any moment, and the roof tiles are covered with cobwebs, and dust is everywhere, and if you blow lightly, you will be dusty all around.

Seeing that Shen Panzhe took out the prepared mask and disposable gloves, put them on and started to act, since Zhao Jinding has not come back, then look for other clues, or evidence of his poisoning.

Corners, doors and windows, stoves, tables, chairs, counters, and everything else he carefully inspected.

About half an hour later, Shen Panzhe took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight, shone under the bed board, and finally found that there was a small hole in the wall at the head of the bed board.

He lifted the bed, stepped over the support stick, and picked up his phone to illuminate the hole, which contained some white powder.

"Could it be that this is Bai Fen?!"

Shen Panzhe exclaimed, seeing that he pinched out a little with his fingers, put it in a small white bag, and after making sure that there was no missing place, he closed the door and left.
