Chapter 161: First Birthday
Chen Weibin suddenly remembered that Rao Qianjin had said last time that Zhou Yuanliang had been married once in his hometown, and Zhou Yuanliang's wife Zhang Zifen had also given birth to a child named "Mangwa". In this photo, there are three adults and a child, could it be Zhou Yuanliang's parents and Zhang Zifen's mother and son?
Chen Weibin hurriedly put the photo in his handbag, and then walked into the kitchen. There was a cupboard in the corner of the kitchen, Chen Weibin opened the cabinet door and looked at it, there were some dishes and chopsticks in it, which were also very old, about 30 years old.
Then, Chen Weibin entered the bathroom. The floor of the bathroom is installed with the kind of mosaic flooring that used to be very popular, and because of the time, some of them have fallen off, revealing the cement underneath. There was almost nothing in the entire bathroom, only a squatting toilet and a water tank, and the surface was already yellow, which should have been about thirty years old.
After Chen Weibin checked all the rooms, he walked out of the ancestral house of the Zhou family, closed the door, and returned to the village committee along the path.
As soon as Rao Qianjin saw Chen Weibin coming in, he said, "Captain Chen, you're back!" I'll make you a bucket of instant noodles! ”
"Yes! Detachment Chen, I've been busy for so long, you can eat something, Captain Wu and I have eaten. Zhuo Min said.
"Let's have a bit." Wu Zhenjie also said.
"Oh...... Then thank you, Director Rao! Chen Weibin felt really hungry at this time.
After a few minutes, the instant noodles were ready.
While eating noodles, Chen Weibin asked, "Director Rao, there is something I want to ask you." ”
"You're welcome, you say." Rao Qianqian said with a smile.
"I went to see the ancestral house of the Zhou family again just now, and found that the furniture in one room was different from the furniture in several other rooms, and it was obviously much older, do you know what's going on?"
"I know that. About thirty years ago, that is, when Zhou Yuanliang returned to the village to build the Demon Town Tower, except for the rooms of his parents, he changed all the furniture in the hall, kitchen, and Zhang Zifen and Mangwa's rooms. In addition, he dismantled the old pigsty and rebuilt a bathroom. ”
"Oh? When building the Demon Suppression Tower......" Chen Weibin thought for a moment, and then asked, "Then why didn't the furniture in his parents' room be changed?" ”
His parents thought that the furniture in the room could still be used, and they didn't agree to change it, so Zhou Yuanliang had no choice, so he didn't change it. You also know that in those days, rural people were used to being thrifty. Rao Qianqian said with a smile.
"Last time I heard you say that Zhou Yuanliang at that time almost didn't go back to his hometown, why did he suddenly remember to come back to change furniture?" Chen Weibin was very surprised.
"This ...... I don't know. But......" Rao Qianqian said, tilting his head and squinting his eyes, as if thinking something.
"But what?" Chen Weibin asked.
"It was very strange at that time, Zhou Yuanliang moved all the furniture in the rooms that he had changed, as well as the quilts and clothes used by Zhang Zifen and Mangwa, to the dam in front of the door, and then lit a fire, all of which were burned to ashes! Moreover, he also threw away all the pots and pans in the kitchen and replaced them with new ones! ”
"Huh? Burned all the furniture, clothes, and so on? Even the pots and bowls were thrown away? Chen Weibin repeated.
"Yes! At that time, many of our villagers were at the scene, and I took a look, although those things were a little old, but they could still be used, even if they didn't use them at home, they could give them to other people in the village, so why burn them? Rao Qianqian also didn't understand.
"Why do you want to burn it?" Chen Weibin was silent for a while and asked, "At that time...... Zhang Zifen has been dead for many years, right? ”
"Hmm......" Rao Qianqian thought for a moment and said, "It should have been more than ten years." ”
"Mangwa also disappeared at that time." Chen Weibin muttered to himself.
"Yes, what a good boy, it's a pity!" Rao Qianqian said with emotion.
Zhou Yuanliang burned and threw it again, his series of behaviors are really incomprehensible, I feel that the purpose of what he did was to make all the things in the house that had been related to Zhang Zifen's mother and son disappear, is there anything strange in this? Moreover, Zhou Yuanliang also repaired the tower by the Dushan River at the same time, on the surface, he was repairing the town demon tower, but in fact, he was repairing the town grievance tower, what did he mean?
Chen Weibin thought as he put down the instant noodle bucket, took out the old photo from his handbag, handed it to Huan Qianqian, and asked, "Director Rao, take a look, do you know a few people on it?" ”
Rao Qianqian took the photo, looked at it carefully in front of him, and said: "Although this photo is not very clear, I still know the person on it......"
"Really?" Chen Weibin leaned over, and Wu Zhenjie and Zhuo Min next to him also followed.
"This ......" Rao Qianqian pointed to the person holding the child in the middle of the photo and said, "This is Zhou Yuanliang's father, Zhou Yuncai." ”
"Well...... Rao Qianjin pointed to the person to Zhou Yuncai's left and said, "It's Zhou Yuanliang's mother, Fan Shuzhen." ”
"What about this, is it Zhang Zifen?" Chen Weibin pointed to the person to Zhou Yuncai's right and asked.
"Hmm...... It's Zhang Zifen, the one who drowned by the Dushan River! Rao Qianqian said.
"What about that kid, is it a reckless baby?" Chen Weibin asked.
"This kid is too small, I'm not sure......" Rao Qianqian took the photo closer and said, "It seems to be a reckless baby!" ”
"Are you sure?"
"It's a reckless baby! Although the child in this photo is very young, his face has not changed and his demeanor is very similar. By the way, I remembered......" Rao Qianqian patted his thigh and said excitedly, "One morning, I met Zhang Zifen and their family went out, I asked them what they were doing, Zhang Zifen said to go to the photo studio in the county to take pictures, saying that it was to commemorate the first birthday of Mangwa." ”
"Oh. Thank you! Chen Weibin nodded and put the photo back in his handbag.
"Detachment Chen, are you done?" Rao Qianqian asked.
"It's basically done, thank you for your help!" Chen Weibin said sincerely.
"You're welcome! You're welcome! Rao Qianqian waved his hand and said with a smile.
"That's right......" Chen Weibin took out a hundred yuan from the wallet in his handbag, handed it to Rao Qianjian, and continued, "The lock on the gate of the Zhou family's ancestral house was broken by me, please buy a new one for me and lock the door." ”
"That'...... All right. Rao Qianqian took the money and said.
Then, Chen Weibin took Wu Zhenjie and Zhuo Min, packed up his things, said goodbye to Rao Qianqian, and left the village committee and walked towards the entrance of the village below. A car was parked at the entrance of the village, waiting for them. Chen Weibin and his entourage got into the car and rushed straight to the Jingkang County Public Security Bureau.
