"Do you suspect Hao Zhiqiang?"

Walking out of Brother Liu's house, I suddenly asked Li Meng.

Li Meng didn't answer my question directly, she kept pondering, and said slowly: "Hao Zhiqiang was the first person to find out that Tao Yunshu's family was killed, he said that he was going to deliver Zisha tea sets, but Brother Liu only saw a box. ”

"You mean, Hao Zhiqiang is suspicious? He deliberately took Brother Liu to discover the scene of the crime and clear his suspicions? I frowned and asked her seriously,

Li Meng nodded slightly, and continued: "That brown purple sand tea set box is just right to put a kitchen knife. ”

But will Hao Zhiqiang really go to Tao Yunshu's house at one o'clock in the morning? But met Chen Xuechun who got up at night in the yard? I thought about it, felt that something was wrong, and said lightly.

"That's why I have to ask if this Hao Zhiqiang and Chen Xuechun have any other relationship." Li Meng said quietly.

"It's just that we didn't get any valuable clues from Brother Liu." I took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Let's wait for everyone to come back from their own investigations and make a clue collection." ”

"I think it's necessary for us to investigate Hao Zhiqiang." Li Meng spoke slowly, letting out a very firm voice.

I looked at my watch, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still plenty of time.

Xiao Ligong, a criminal police officer from the Zichuan County Public Security Bureau, told us about the details of the case, including Hao Zhiqiang's residence.

His family also lives in Liujiapu Village, on the front street of Tao Yun's house, the penultimate home in the west of the village.

Li Meng and I followed the memory, step by step into this Liujiabao village that we had never been to, and the deeper we went, the more strange we became.

Front Street, west of the village, the penultimate house.

This seems to be a very precise coordinate, but it gives us some headaches.

Because we can find the west of the village, but we can't tell which one is the first one in the west of the village.

The sunlight in the village is very dazzling, hitting the yellow earth, showing the barrenness of the land, the roughness, a gust of wind can roll up a layer of sand.

Li Meng and I walked around the west end of the village, and finally met a villager, and learned through the villagers that Hao Zhiqiang's home was behind us.

Walking into Hao Zhiqiang's home, we felt a strong sense of depression.

The yard is not big, but it feels very messy. But if you look closely, you can't tell where the mess is, maybe it's just the weeds on the ground and the firewood piled up in the corner.

Hao Zhiqiang's home was not closed, but just hidden, and when he walked into his home, there was a sound of "popping" mud in his ears.

Smelling the sounds, we came to a spacious, bright, but equally chaotic studio.

Hao Zhiqiang is sitting at the table, hand-making a purple clay pot.

The main method of forming the purple sand ware is to knead it by hand, first pinch the body, then dig the foot, open the surface, and finally add the handle, mouth, cover, etc.

A purple clay pot has to go through ten to dozens of complex molding processes: mud punching, mud rubbing, mud scratching, body tube, body tube, grease mud and so on. To complete these processes, one is to rely on the artist's production skills, and the other is to rely on a variety of production tools, both of which are indispensable.

Hao Zhiqiang is a professional purple sand craftsman, with a teacher, and the purple sand utensils made are very exquisite. On the bookshelf behind him, there are many finished products, each of which is a treasure.

We came very coincidentally, Hao Zhiqiang has just made a purple clay pot, and then just wait for the purple clay pot to dry naturally and then enter the kiln to fire.

"Hello, we are the criminal police of the Ningzhou Public Security Bureau." I looked at him and said earnestly as I showed my ID.

Hao Zhiqiang naturally knew what we were coming for, he looked at us and invited us to sit down.

Hao Zhiqiang was the first person to discover the scene of the crime, and his information and records were kept in the township.

Hao Zhiqiang is 40 years old this year, his children have married and live in other places, and his daughter-in-law also works outside all the year round, making Hao Zhiqiang a "lonely person".

Many people in the village said that Hao Zhiqiang's wife had run away with someone else, but Hao Zhiqiang has always denied it.

"Are you the first person to find out that something happened to Tao Yunshu's family?" I steadied myself and asked.

Hao Zhiqiang looked at us in a daze and nodded: "Yes, I went to deliver a tea set to Tao Yunshu that day, and I found that something happened to their family." ”

"How did you find out that something happened to Tao Yunshu's family?" I asked earnestly.

"At that time, it was already dark, Tao Yunshu's house did not turn on the lights, I tapped on the door, there was no movement in the house, I called, Tao Yunshu's mobile phone was still ringing in the room." Hao Zhiqiang said in a deep voice.

"So you suspect that something happened to Tao Yunshu's family? What if the three of them went to the store at the time? I smiled faintly.

"I didn't feel it at the time, but I just felt that something was wrong, and then I hurriedly went to my neighbor Lao Liu, and asked him if he knew where Tao Yunshu's family went? At that time, Lao Liu also felt that something was wrong, he said that he didn't see Tao Yunshu's son go to school, so we went together, and later found out that something was wrong, so he called the police. Hao Zhiqiang's tone was very flat, and he told us what happened unhurriedly.

"Tao Yunshu asked you to make a set of purple clay pot tea sets?" Li Meng suddenly asked.

Hao Zhiqiang nodded and admitted directly: "Yes, Tao Yunshu's father-in-law is going to celebrate his birthday, and he asked me to make a set of purple clay pot tea sets, and he asked me to order it a month ago." ”

"Where is the purple clay pot tea set? Can I take a look? Li Meng smiled and said lightly.

Hao Zhiqiang's expression was still very calm, he looked at us and pointed to the windowsill behind him: "There." ”

We turned around together, and sure enough, we saw a brown purple sand tea set gift box on the windowsill.

It seems that this gift box should be the one that Brother Liu saw.

Li Meng stretched out his hands and slowly held the lid of the gift box, and with a slight lift, the purple sand tea set gift box was opened.

This is a complete set of purple sand tea sets, tea cups, fair cups, covered bowls, teapots, tea washes, etc.

This is not just a set of tea sets, it is simply a set of technical products.

Hao Zhiqiang is worthy of being a master of purple sand craftsmanship, this workmanship really has nothing to say, even I am a layman, I can feel that the purple sand tea set in this gift box is many times stronger than the ones sold in the store outside.

Li Meng is obviously very interested in this set of tea sets, but what she is interested in is definitely not the exquisite purple sand tea set inside, but this gift box.

Because, the depth of this gift box, these tea sets are obviously far from reaching.

Li Meng kept observing the gift box from all angles.

She gently pushed the bottom of the gift box, and a mezzanine suddenly appeared......
