Chapter Fifty-Seven: Grandpa's Strange Death
Xie Pujia returned to Ningli County, and Dong Feng went out to run goods two days later, leaving her to live with Grandma Dong at Dong's house.
Huang Qiaoxiu was also taken around by Huang Zhide, and he couldn't see anyone.
The Xie family next door is a little too quiet, Wang Meihua and Wu Xue have been in the city hospital for a few months and still have no signs of coming back, Xie Pujia can occasionally bump into Xie Dahai, either from the mahjong room, or full of alcohol and Liu Nanfei hooked shoulders and backs, without the staring of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, the days passed in the dark and did whatever they wanted.
After half a month in an orderly manner, Xie Pujia was busy going to school and met Zhou Chunyan twice, Zhou Chunyan was also busy setting up stalls in restaurants, but she made money, and there were more and more smiles on her face.
On Friday, Xie Pujia was doing her homework in the house when she suddenly heard messy footsteps outside the house, and looked up.
It was the county magistrate Dong Ming, and Dong Ming was followed by Zhou Chunyan.
Seeing her mother come suddenly, Xie Pujia was a little surprised, there were only two days left for the weekend, why didn't her mother set up a stall to come to her?
Xie Pujia: "Mom, why are you here?" Don't set up a stall today? ”
Zhou Chunyan stepped forward, touched Xie Pujia's braid, and explained to her daughter.
"In the past two days, the police have been investigating a case more than ten years ago, and the police found out that they had some relationship with the Zhou family and the Xie family, so they found me and asked me if I knew, I didn't marry the Xie family more than ten years ago, what can I know, but I thought it might have something to do with me, so I followed the police back to Ningli County."
After speaking, Zhou Chunyan's gaze shifted from Xie Pujia to Dong Ming, and said: "I just arrived at the Liu family's fruit store, and I met your Uncle Daming, your Uncle Daming is familiar with the police, and after listening to the police's case, he said that his aunt and your grandfather were neighbors, and told the police a few old people who had a good relationship with your grandfather during his lifetime, and then I came back with County Magistrate Dong." ”
It turned out that this was the case, and it was a coincidence that they ran into each other.
Xie Pujia was curious: "What case?" ”
Zhou Chunyan sighed and talked to Xie Pujia about the old man Xie she had never seen.
"Your grandfather was a barefoot doctor, and he often went to underground villages and towns to treat people, fifteen years ago...... He went to the village where I was living to treat people, and then a woman died in the village. ”
At that time, Zhou Chunyan was in her second year of high school and lived in the school, which was more than ten miles away from the village, and she only went home on Friday, and she had to leave after two days, because she didn't know much about the things in the village.
The police told her that 15 years ago, Mr. Xie was practicing medicine everywhere, and he happened to go to the village where the Zhou family was located, and the woman of a very poor family in the village was seriously ill.
As a result, it didn't take long for Old Man Xie to leave the poor family, and the news of the daughter-in-law died of illness came out the next day.
Later, I learned that the poor family was a widower with three older single sons, and the family had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, and this daughter-in-law was abducted from another place by the third of the three brothers.
Two years after the woman's death, the family, who had been looking for her for more than ten years, finally got the news of her through various means, and a family of more than 30 people drove to the village in a dozen cars.
Unfortunately, they only saw a small tombless tomb.
The original village was flooded by half of the village due to a major flood the year before, and it was included in the government project along with several villages next door, and all of them were demolished.
The woman's family was rich and powerful, and soon found a family of four who abducted the woman, and in the following days, the four people died of a "bizarre" serious illness, and suffered inhuman torture before they died, and even people who had something to do with this incident had accidents to varying degrees, with death and injury.
Hearing this, Xie Pujia was puzzled.
"Isn't this case all settled? Why did you ...... with Zhou Bai again? Grandpa and grandfather are involved? ”
The woman's family must have investigated everyone who came into contact with the woman back then, if Zhou Baijin and Old Man Xie were involved, with the power of the woman's family, both of them would definitely have an accident......
Have an accident?
Xie Pujia suddenly remembered something, and her heart suddenly became clear, why didn't something happen?!
The second year after a woman's death, isn't it the year when Zhou Chunyan became pregnant? That year, Mr. Xie braved the rain to go to the village to see a doctor, and died on the way back.
Xie Pujia: "Mom, grandpa, did he kill that woman?" No, wasn't that woman seriously ill at the time, and grandpa could only be regarded as not curing anyone, okay? ”
Zhou Chunyan shook her head: "I don't know, but your grandfather's death back then is indeed strange, and the police have to investigate this matter." ”
Xie Pujia: "That grandfather ...... him"
Zhou Chunyan shook her head again, "I don't know, but your grandfather and them are indeed from the same village, so it shouldn't have anything to do with it, otherwise how could they let your grandfather get away with it for so many years." ”
This is quite disobedient and unfilial.
Dong Ming on the side was listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter while checking Xie Pujia's homework with his eyes.
I was still sighing in my heart that this little girl's handwriting was much better than that of the little rabbit cub at home, so I heard the mother and daughter talking about Zhou Baijin.
Dong Ming thought that Zhou Chunyan was afraid that something would happen to the Zhou family, so he said: "Sister Yanzi, don't worry too much, I asked the police comrade."
Xie Pujia nodded, she didn't have a good impression of people in the gray area, but the woman who was abducted to the village was really regrettable.
Speaking of Zhou Baijin, Dong Ming remembered another thing, and looked away from Xie Pujia's homework book and looked at Zhou Chunyan.
Dong Ming: "Sister Chunyan, the last time Jiajia asked me to investigate, there were some eyebrows, but it is a long time, and there are a lot of people involved, so you have to wait, you ...... It's best to be mentally prepared in advance. ”
What she said made Zhou Chunyan in a fog, her daughter asked Dong Ming to investigate something, why did she make her mentally prepared?
Hearing Dong Ming's words, Xie Pujia understood, it seems that the three of Zhou Baiqian, Qingyou and Qian Xiao really did something that was deeply involved with Zhou Chunyan.
Xie Pujia looked at her mother: "Last time about Qian Qingyou and my grandfather, I asked Uncle Daming to help check it." ”
Dong Ming nodded, hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhou Chunyan with his eyes, and tentatively asked: "Sister Chunyan, if Zhou Baijin does something to be sorry for you, ...... you?"
Zhou Chunyan, who was originally out of the way, turned pale when she heard this.
She always knew that Zhou Baijin didn't like her daughter, and Zhou Baijin had done so many things to treat her harshly over the years, including but not limited to forcibly marrying her to Xie Dahai, sending her to Qian Xiao's bed the day before the Chinese New Year's Eve, and everything before she got married.
Looking at Dong Ming's heavy expression, she really couldn't imagine that Zhou Baijin had anything else to be sorry for her, which could make Dong Ming's tone full of sympathy.
