The small village, which has always been calm and peaceful, has a big incident today.

The place of the crime was a chicken coop.

When the midsummer solstice arrived, the chicken coop had been fenced off by the villagers.

When everyone saw the midsummer solstice, it was like seeing a great savior, and immediately made way for her. Ms. Liu immediately pulled her inside: "Hurry up and show you Uncle Zhou, what's going on." ”

As soon as I entered the chicken coop in the middle of summer, I was stunned by the tragic situation in front of me:

On the gray concrete floor, lying chicken carcasses.

The chick is a newborn chick this year, tender and yellow, not as big as a palm, lying on the ground horizontally and vertically, with messy feathers, covered with dust, and blood on the ground.

The owner of the chicken coop is surnamed Zhou, and Jiang Han passed by Zhao Baoli's house when he slipped through him and heard him claim that he had bird flu.

His wife is also an acquaintance, and on Midsummer Solstice's birthday, she was the one who stopped her from drinking on Midsummer Solstice.

The two of them suffered from this catastrophe, and their eyes were red in a hurry. Seeing that the midsummer solstice was coming, Uncle Zhou hurriedly confirmed: "It's not chicken plague." ”

Midsummer Solstice looked at the scene and replied, "No." Apparently stimulated, trampling each other to death. ”

The Zhou family and his wife breathed a sigh of relief and muttered: "It's not about making trouble." ”

Their chicken coop is huge, and it's a pity to lose a room of chicks, but they managed to save the lives of the other chickens. In this way, these losses are less hopeless.

Aunt Zhou's mood calmed down a little and asked Midsummer Solstice: "Xiao Xia, what do you think is going on?" ”

The midsummer solstice is not proficient in poultry farming. She thought for a moment and asked, "Was there anything unusual about the chicken coop last night?" ”

Uncle Zhou replied, "No." I'm here at night and there's nothing out of the ordinary. ”

Chickens are a creature that, although they are the hegemons in the village, are actually very sensitive. Strong light, loud noise, and even changes in temperature and humidity can make them stimulated, and even produce stress reactions, which can affect the growth of meat, reduce egg production, and seriously threaten the safety of chickens.

So, chicken farms are usually built in quiet places. The Zhou family is no exception.

The Zhou family's chicken coop is in the most secluded corner of the village, next to the sea, next to the cemetery, walk along the path next to the cemetery for twenty minutes, you can see the test field of the midsummer solstice.

Relying on the geographical advantage, they did not install monitoring, and now that there is an accident, there is nowhere to verify, and the details of the previous night all depend on Uncle Zhou's recollection.

In the spirit of professional people doing professional things, I called Zheng Xiaoman before the midsummer solstice, and when Zheng Xiaoman finally arrived, she was even angrier than the Zhou family and his wife when she saw the house full of chicken corpses.

Just last month, she personally injected more than 300 chicks, and she was so tired that she didn't lift her arm for two days.

Zheng Xiaoman gritted his teeth and swore to the chicken: "I will definitely avenge you!" ”

Midsummer Solstice pulled her aside and asked in a low voice: "Is it done by beasts or the like, can you apply for compensation from the Forestry Bureau?" ”

Zheng Xiaoman shook his head: "I have checked, and there are no traces of scratches and bites on the chicken." Besides, our village doesn't even have a big mountain forest, so there are no wild beasts. ”

Every year, their animal husbandry station and the police station patrol several surrounding villages, telling the villagers what flowers, birds, fish and insects are protected animals, and they have been caught breaking the law. Therefore, Zheng Xiaoman is very clear about what animals live nearby:

"It's not a big animal, a wolf, a leopard or something, we don't have it here. It's not snakes and rats, they can't make such an effect. ”

Zheng Xiaoman pondered: "What is it?" ”

Midsummer Solstice said: "It can also rule out poisoning." Aunt Zhou said that the feed was prepared by herself, and other chickens also ate it, so there was a problem with the chickens in this house. ”

Jiang Han listened to it for a long time and put forward a new idea: "Could it be something in the sea?" ”

Midsummer solstice puzzled: "Nakkai? ”

Jiang Han really wanted to help, but his brain couldn't do it. After thinking for a long time, he confessed to a suspect: "Sea monster, something." ”

Although Midsummer Solstice didn't speak, he scolded the dirtiest words with his face.

The Zhou family and his wife are very popular, and villagers continue to come to comfort them, and some people take the initiative to help clean up.

Zheng Xiaoman saw that no one was paying attention to them, and whispered: "I think it's artificial." ”

Midsummer Zhi was surprised: "You suspect that it was the people in the village who did it." ”

Zheng Xiaoman's voice lowered: "Actually, as soon as I came in just now, I had this feeling.

In the past, in class, the teacher talked about poultry stress response. I remember a video of sleeping chickens being exposed to bright light, creating a stress response, stomping on each other, and eventually suffocating to death.

The scene in the video is almost exactly the same as it is now.

I think someone deliberately tossed Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou, taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention at night, shining a bright light on the chicken coop to scare these chicks to death. ”

Midsummer Solstice looked behind her, everyone had a simple face, and she couldn't think of anyone who would do such a thing.

But Zheng Xiaoman is not a person who talks nonsense.

Midsummer Zhi was very angry, "Let's go, let's go tell Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou." ”

Zheng Xiaoman wanted to hold her, but Jiang Han was already in front of the midsummer solstice.

He asked, "What do you want to say?" ”

Midsummer Solstice is awe-inspiring: "Tell Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou that someone deliberately killed their chickens." ”

Jiang Han asked: "What about the suspect, what about the modus operandi, and what about the evidence." ”

Midsummer Solstice pointed at Zheng Xiaoman, "Xiaoman is a professional, I trust her judgment." We can find the suspect slowly, and it will always show its feet. ”

Jiang Han spoke very politely: "So, you want to treat the whole village as a suspect because of the words of an outsider." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Xiaoman is not an outsider."

Midsummer Solstice pointed to the carcasses of the chicks that had been piled up and ready to be disposed of: "These chicks are their family's living expenses, their children's tuition fees, and their pension and medical expenses."

It costs money to buy chickens, and it costs money to dispose of dead poultry carcasses, and since someone did it on purpose, of course we have to find out this person and lose money.

It is only natural to repay debts. ”

After speaking, she pulled Zheng Xiaoman and had to tell the Zhou family and his wife.

Jiang Han stopped her again and said solemnly:

For the villagers of the small village, Zheng Xiaoman is an outsider, and the villagers will not tear their faces because of Zheng Xiaoman's unfounded words. You confessed to Zheng Xiaoman, saying that Zheng Xiaoman suspected that they were murderers, and you asked her to work in the village in the future.

Don't be bored. ”

Midsummer Solstice had never paid attention to the human exchanges, and she looked at Zheng Xiaoman in dismay, as if she was seeking confirmation with her.

Zheng Xiaoman said: "Actually, when I was examining the carcass of the chick just now, Aunt Zhou asked me a few questions.

After all, they have been raising chickens for more than ten years, and I think they have guessed the cause of the chicken's death. ”

Zheng Xiaoman slapped Jiang Han's hand away, "So, don't listen to him, I don't live in the village, so I don't have to look at the faces of the villagers." Besides, I get a dead salary every month, and they praise me for not getting a commission, and they won't deduct money when they scold me, I don't care.

How about it, do you want to administer justice, I'm with you. ”

Zheng Xiaoman spoke freely, but Midsummer Zhi knew that she didn't like others the most.

"Forget it." Sheng Xia Zhi said: "I'll tell Mother Qi about this." ”

Zheng Xiaoman said: "I'm with you." ”

Jiang Han's words affected the midsummer solstice. She was worried that Ms. Liu had a bad impression of Zheng Xiaoman, so she hurriedly said: "Don't go, I'll go by myself, I said I found it." ”

Waiting for the midsummer solstice to leave, Zheng Xiaoman put away his kind face and said expressionlessly: "You scared her." ”

Jiang Han always put on a stinky face: "You are too indulgent to her."

The same thing, the aunt who has never been to school understands, you who are the same age as her understand, and even those who have no memory understand why she doesn't understand.

It's all because of you around her, who spoiled her. ”

Zheng Xiaoman said coldly: "People's energy is limited. It's already very tiring to do scientific research every day in the middle of summer, and there is no need to worry about being sophisticated.

We know her very well and know that she is a good child, has a pure heart, and will not deliberately hurt anyone, and that is enough. ”

Jiang Han disagreed with her words, and he asked, "What if one day, she leaves."

She went to a strange environment, still with the same temper as she is now, like a child, without a city government, she pours out her heart and lungs to everyone, and has something to say. Will those strangers take advantage of her, will they be as tolerant of him as you are? ”

Zheng Xiaoman was stunned.

She had never thought of such a possibility.

Little did she realize that one day, her friend would leave.

She thought they would live together until they became old ladies.
