Chapter 42: What the hell
Let's call this the archive room, the archive room is about 30 square meters, in addition to the fluorescent lamps hanging from the ceiling, there are rows of neat iron shelves, and some paper documents are placed on the shelves, specifically it should be file bags.
"Where do we start?" Xin Xiaoqi looked at so many documents, "Is two hours enough?" ”
Indeed, there are a lot of files, and the folders are placed next to each other, as high as one person and as low as ankles. It's really hard to find this dazzling array of documents.
"No matter, let's split up and look at the words on the cover! Find key dates, keywords. Xiao Fan said.
"Okay. Without further ado, let's hurry. Xin Xiaoqi lowered his head and began to look for it along the iron frame.
Time flies by, and there are two figures moving indoors, and the lights pull the figures of the two people and project them on the white wall. The documents were flipped through a little messy.
After some searching, at fifty-three minutes, Xiao Fan finally picked up a notebook and opened it.
"That's right, this is it."
"What's written on it?"
"Let me see." Xiao Fan looked carefully.
After a while, Xiao Fan said: "Bai Xue did hang herself. ”
"Snow?"
"It's the one who hanged himself under an old tree with a crooked neck more than ten years ago."
Xin Xiaoqi listened.
"And why?"
"Not specified."
"......," Xin Xiaoqi said, "how can this be?" Isn't there anything that triggers suicide? ”
"I don't understand."
"What about her husband? Is there any document? ”
Xiao Fan flipped through it, "Her husband's name is Chu Hualong." Died by homicide. ”
Xin Xiaoqi gasped.
"What about the murderer?"
"The murderer has not yet returned." Xiao Fan said.
"Who is the suspect? Confirmed? Xin Xiaoqi asked again.
"According to the villagers, it's a wanderer."
"So it's not from this village?"
"That's what it means."
"Let's see, are there any other records?"
"No more. That's it. ”
Xiao Fan flipped through the notebook, but there was indeed no follow-up record. The two of them immediately felt a little regretful. Is this case dragged on like this? Haven't you found out anything so far?
Death caused by wandering crimes? And his wife had only recently died, how could it be such a coincidence?
"What do you think?"
Leaving the police station, Xiao Fan asked Xin Xiaoqi as he walked.
"What?" Xin Xiaoqi didn't understand what he meant.
"The matter of this case. What do you think is wrong? ”
Xin Xiaoqi pondered for a moment, and then replied, "It's indeed a little suspicious. It's not like a police case. ”
"Hmm."
As I walked, my stomach couldn't help but growl. Xiao Fan said: "There should be food in this town, right?" Let's find a place to eat. ”
They walked and walked around the secluded streets for a while, and finally walked towards a northern dumpling restaurant.
"Boss, two dumplings." Xiao Fan looked at Xin Xiaoqi and asked, "How many taels do you want?" ”
At this moment, the boss approached and asked, "What do you want?" ”
"What's stuffed?" Xiao Fan asked.
The boss pointed to the menu baffle on his head and said, "Fresh meat with celery, fresh meat with mushrooms, fresh meat with shepherd's cabbage, and beef stuffing with sauce, you can see for yourself, and there are other side dishes." ”
Xiao Fan glanced at it for a few moments, and then said, "Come to two taels of fresh mushroom meat, come again...... A plate of thousands of sheets, a plate of sauce-flavored pig's trotters," Xiao Fan looked at Xin Xiaoqi and asked, "Do you want to eat this?" ”
"There's no problem, it's okay, well, bring me two taels of cabbage and fresh meat dumplings!"
After ordering the menu, Xiao Fan got up and took two bottles of soda in the freezer.
"Give!"
"Thank you!"
"What do you do?" Xiao Fan only asked now.
Xin Xiaoqi took a straw in his mouth, took a sip, then let go, and said, "Singing." Don't you see like me? ”
Xiao Fan smiled, "No, no!" Like, I didn't say it's not. ”
Xin Xiaoqi also smiled: "Okay, just kidding." I'm a half-ass, where did you see that? ”
"Forehead ......"
Xin Xiaoqi looked at Xiao Fan's embarrassed appearance, and felt more and more that this person was funny. So he told him: "It's just fun, but then again, I really like it to sing." ”
Xiao Fan said: "Of course I know this. There's no one who doesn't like to sing it. Even if you don't like to sing and sing, I'm afraid you won't be able to last a lifetime. ”
"For a lifetime?"
"Well, for a lifetime."
"I think I'm that kind of person, although I like it, but I can't last a lifetime. We are in a very real world, although the dream is too attractive, but there is still the strength to say, I still have self-knowledge. So I don't force it. ”
"Hmm. There is some truth to that. Then you won't sing anymore? ”
"Sing still to sing, if you have the chance. It's just that my path is not on this one. ”
"What are you going to do? Figured it out? ”
"Nope." When Xin Xiaoqi said this, there was a little sadness in his eyes, a trace of helplessness and loneliness, "I will probably become an ordinary planning clerk in the cubicle, or maybe I will become a trader who pursues life and works hard to turn around." In short, I don't know what the future holds. ”
Xiao Fan nodded in agreement.
"Yes."
"What about you?" Xin Xiaoqi suddenly raised his head, replaced it with a smile, and asked a question that had nothing to do with him.
"A small clerk in a construction company. There's nothing to say, I've been living diligently! ”
"That's already remarkable, for a lot of people. Or I think it is. ”
