One hundred and nine
In the midst of the aunt's very fierce scolding, Xie Jingchen and Sun Wu watched Liu Liping come back on three wheels.
Reluctantly, the uncle deleted the photos on his mobile phone by pulling his ears, and stared at Xie Jingchen very sadly.
Xie Jingchen pretended not to see it, and Sun Wu threw the remaining half pack of cigarettes on the small wooden table, and shouted, "Auntie, let's go!"
The aunt replied, "Hey, if you want to find a partner, remember to contact me!"
Liu Liping, who parked the tricycle in her yard, also saw Sun Wu and Xie Jingchen coming out of the opposite house.
The two tall young men who had never seen each other did not attract Liu Liping's attention until they approached.
"May I ask if you are Liu Liping?" Sun Wu stepped forward to ask.
Liu Liping is only one meter and five meters tall, coupled with long-term work and the pressure of the years, her back is bent a lot. In front of Sun Wu and Xie Jingchen, she looked very short, and she could only reach Xie Jingchen's waist and abdomen.
Liu Liping took off the mud-stained gloves on her hands and threw them in the body of the electric tricycle before stepping forward to answer.
"Yes, I'm Liu Liping. What are you looking for me?"
Looking at this gray-haired, wrinkled, chapped and calloused woman, who was actually in her fifties, but looked like a working woman in her sixties and seventies, Xie Jingchen didn't know how to speak for a while.
Directly saying "Your daughter may be dead", is it a bit too cruel to let the old man send the white-haired person to the black-haired person.
When he wasn't smiling, Xie Jingchen looked a little indifferent. The appearance gives him an advantage in deterrence and interrogation, but there are pros and cons, and he is basically not needed in this kind of affinity time.
Asking Sun Wu to visit Liujia Village with him also has this consideration.
Sun Wu and Xie Jingchen are about the same height, but their faces are more amiable. He has a square and round face, and the corners of his mouth are naturally raised when he is not smiling, a bit of Maitreya Buddha's feeling, and when he is put together with Xie Jingchen, the contrast is obvious.
After making eye contacts, Sun Wu stepped forward with a smile.
"Auntie, has Liu Hong been home recently?"
"Oh...... Looking for Liu Hong."
I heard that she was looking for Liu Hong, but the aunt didn't have any special performance, as if she had nothing to do with Liu Hong.
The aunt looked at the sun and took out the key to open the door.
With her back to Sun Wu and Xie Jingchen, Aunt Liu didn't have any intention of entertaining guests, and added, "Looking for Liu Hong...... You shouldn't be looking for me. I don't have anything to do with her, and I basically don't have any contact."
Nothing matters? Basically not in touch?
Sun Wu asked, "Auntie? Aren't you Liu Hong's mother? How could there be no contact?"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Liu Liping, who opened the door, waved her hand again and again, and there seemed to be some resentment in her words, "I can't give birth to such a girl!"
As if this had angered her, she entered the house, slammed the door, and left the last words spoken to them.
"Find Sun Liang's two and ask!"
Sun Liang's two sons are the parents of the suspected deceased Sun Guiying.
Sun Wu and Xie Jingchen glanced at each other, and they had to wait in vain in the morning.
Originally, he was also going to Sun Guiying's house, and in addition, the informant Liu Zhi's house was also going to go.
After discussion, Sun Wu and Xie Jingchen decided to act separately, Sun Wu went to Liu Zhi's house, and Xie Jingchen went to Sun Guiying's house.
After inquiring with the villagers, I learned that Liu Zhi's family and Sun Guiying's family were not all in Liujia Village.
Sun Guiying's family and Liu Hong's family were located at the east and west ends of the village, while Liu Zhi's family moved to the town.
In a village like this, where the new rural transformation has not yet been carried out, most of the houses in the village are self-built. In the past, there was no property right certificate, and the documents and other documents were only reissued in recent years.
Generally speaking, the houses of people who are closer to each other are also built relatively close, and there are many brothers and sisters in the village who build houses next to each other to facilitate communication.
Liu Zhi's family moved to the town, which can also be explained because the family conditions are better, like Sun Guiying and Liu Hong's family
is located at the east and west ends respectively, and it is basically a disagreement between the two families.
Because he was going to the town, Sun Wu drove away, saying that he would pick up Xie Jingchen when he came back later, and asked him to ask other houses in the village after going to Sun Guiying's house.
The village is not small, and Xie Jingchen walked for more than half an hour before finding Sun Guiying's house.
Sun Guiying's house did not lock the door, and after Xie Jingchen shouted "Is anyone at home?", Sun Guiying's mother Liu Lirong went out.
Liu Lirong and Liu Liping look very similar, if they stand together, people can see at a glance that they are sisters.
If you want to talk about the difference, Liu Lirong looks younger and better than her sister Liu Liping.
"I'm Liu Lirong, do you have anything to do with me?" Liu Lirong, who was cooking, went out of the gate with a spatula and saw a young and handsome young man, and greeted him with a smile very warmly.
"It's windy outside, so let's talk about something!"
Xie Jingchen entered the door as he wished.
If you judge people by their appearance, Xie Jingchen will feel that the contradiction between Liu Lirong and Liu Liping's family should be the more gloomy Liu Liping's problem.
However, Xie Jingchen is still more fair and tries not to be biased.
Liu Liping took Xie Jingchen into the hall and sat down, and asked all the way, "Have you eaten?" Would you like to take a bite by the way?"
After Xie Jingchen politely refused, he sat in the hall and waited for Liu Liping to finish cooking before questioning.
The old stove burning in the countryside is not like the gas stove that can be turned off when it is said to be off, and if no one is watching, it is easy to paste the pot.
After Liu Liping finished cooking and simmered the food in the pot to keep warm, she brought tea to entertain Xie Jingchen.
Tea is made of ordinary tea leaves, which has a fragrance and tastes a little astringent.
After serving the tea to Xie Jingchen, Liu Lirong wiped her hands with an apron and sat down. "I don't have any good tea at home, so let's drink it."
She looked a little embarrassed, and after a pause, she asked Xie Jingchen, "What are you looking for me?" You...... Not my unsuccessful daughter's ex-boyfriend, right?"
"No, Auntie." Xie Jingchen saw that she was a little embarrassed, and squeezed out some smiles to appease.
"Oh...... No......" Liu Lirong also smiled, her face a little red because she was embarrassed. "My daughter said she went to the city to live with her ex-boyfriend, and she used to tell me that her ex-boyfriend was tall and handsome, so ...... Don't mind."
"It's okay, I don't mind."
Xie Jingchen said, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
According to the autopsy, Liu Hong and Sun Guiying have been dead for five years, and there has been no contact for five years, why do people in the village think that they are living a good life in the city?
Didn't Liu Zhi, who reported the case, tell others that Liu Hong and Sun Guiying were missing?
