"My rice noodles haven't been eaten yet."

"Hurry up, hurry up, catch the train."

The kind local accent made Zhao Xiangwan laugh and pushed his aunt: "Auntie, you go and cook the noodles first, and cook a few bowls for the four of us, we are all hungry." ”

Zhao Dacui saw that Ji Zhao was also coming, and smiled: "Ah, Ji Zhao is here, sit down quickly." ”

glanced at Zhu Kang and Zhou Rulan again, "It's Xiang Wan's colleague, right?" It's been a long job, find a table to sit down, and I'll send it over right away. ”

She turned her head again and shouted, "Zhongwu, come out quickly, the third sister is here." ”

Zhao Zhongwu is now the chef of the rice noodle shop, in charge of the fried rice noodle yards. The hot oil is on an open fire, and the stir-fry is loud, and I don't notice the movement outside at all. Hearing Zhao Dacui's voice, he turned his head, sweated all over his face, raised his hand to wipe the sweat with a towel hanging around his neck, and shouted at the earliest: "Alas, my third sister is back, sit down quickly." ”

As soon as she returned to the familiar environment, Zhao Xiangwan was a little more lively, and she also replied loudly: "Second brother, stir-fried meat with green peppers, four bowls." ”

Zhao Zhongwu responded: "Okay! "The movements of the hands did not stop for a moment.

Zhao Zhongwu and Zhao Dacui cooperated tacitly, one boiled noodles and collected money, and the other fried yards, put bowls, and put them on the countertop, allowing customers to take them away by themselves.

Even if they were so busy, the two of them took the time to bring Zhao Xiangwan four bowls of big rice noodles to them.

The steaming rice noodles, the soup is fragrant, the color of the soup base is very clear, the rice noodles are crystal clear, the noodles are poured with a large spoonful of local chili fried meat, the oil is meaty and fragrant, the green peppers are crisp and slightly spicy, and then sprinkled with shallots, it really makes people have a great appetite.

Zhao Dacui used a small bowl to hold the mustard, cabbage, capers, and dried radishes made by himself at home, and put them in front of the four of them, with a kind smile: "The children are here to work, right?" It's hard work, hurry up and eat some. ”

Seeing the jeep parked at the door, Zhao Dacui knew that Zhao Xiangwan was not visiting relatives or taking a vacation this time, and he was definitely coming to Luo County to carry out a mission with two righteous young people.

Smelling the familiar aroma of Luoxian rice noodle soup, Zhu Kang didn't move his chopsticks for a long time.

Zhou Rulan took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed: "Xiang Wan, the rice noodles cooked by your aunt are so delicious!" Turning his head and seeing that Zhu Kang didn't move his chopsticks, he urged, "What's wrong?" Eat it. ”

Zhu Kang's voice was nasal: "I ate this kind of rice noodles when I was a child. Our village is not far from the county seat, and when my parents take my sister and me into the city, they will go to the rice noodle stall to buy rice noodles to eat. However, it used to be cheap, and a bowl of sauerkraut without meat only cost a dime and a penny. If you put the meat, you have to pay two cents. ”

Zhao Xiangwan knew that he remembered the past again, and comforted: "If you like to eat, eat more." ”

Zhou Rulan said softly: "After twenty years, many things are different. ”

Zhao Zhongwu happened to come over to wipe the table and clean up the dishes and chopsticks, he was a self-cooked, and slapped Zhu Kang: "Hey, you eat quickly, if the yard is not enough, I will add a little more to you." ”

Zhu Kang took two bites with his head stuffy, the rice noodles were very fragrant and delicious, but he felt uncomfortable, he really had no appetite, and it was a little difficult to eat.

Zhao Zhongwu looked at it and frowned, and asked Zhao Xiangwan: "What's wrong with your colleague?" Rice noodles don't taste good? Still can't get used to eating something? ”

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Zhao Zhongwu and diverted the topic: "Why didn't the second sister-in-law come to the store?" "Usually, the second sister-in-law collects money and cleans up the table, but today Zhao Zhongwu took the time to come over to wipe the table and collect the dishes, which is rare.

Now Zhao Zhongwu has become a family, and he has become diligent after washing the frivolity of last year's youth. He grinned, laughing so much that more than a dozen teeth were exposed: "Your sister-in-law is pregnant!" She couldn't smell the lard, so she let her rest at home. ”

Zhao Xiangwan congratulated him repeatedly, I really didn't expect that in Zhao Chenyang's eyes, Zhao Zhongwu, who was useless and entered the bureau because of gambling in his previous life, will now honestly guard this rice noodle shop, cooperate with his aunt diligently, and open a store and start a businessman? Now that I am married, have a family, and am about to become a father, it is really gratifying.

After Zhao Zhongwu left, Zhao Xiangwan said softly: "Life and death, life and death are endless." Zhu Kang, if your sister is alive, maybe she will also open a rice noodle shop and become the proprietress, right? It's better to let go of your sadness and live happily, just like this bowl of rice noodles, which your sister cooked for you, okay? ”

Zhao Xiangwan's words were clear and soft, but with an inexplicable sense of power.

Zhu Kang raised his head and glanced at Zhao Xiangwan, with a hint of brilliance in his eyes: "Yes, my sister also loves to eat rice noodles, every time she comes to the county seat, she always has to eat a bowl, if she is alive, maybe she will really open a rice noodle shop like your second brother." ”

After speaking, Zhu Kang lowered his head and concentrated on eating powder.

The atmosphere at the dinner table became better, and Zhou Rulan quietly gave Zhao Xiangwan a thumbs up. Zhao Xiangwan smiled slightly and looked at Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao ate quietly, he was exquisitely dressed, beautiful in appearance, noble in temperament, and elegant in action, even if he sat in this greasy little shop, it was like sitting in a luxury hotel.

Zhao Xiangwan deliberately asked him: "Is it enough?" Do you want to add some chili sauce? ”

[Don't!] 】

Ji Zhao raised his head violently, and there was a hint of nervousness in his eyes.

Although he is from Hunan Province, Ji Zhao is not very spicy, and at most he can only bear the spiciness. He knew too well what the chili sauce Zhao Xiangwan was talking about, Zhao Dacui prepared a lot of chili sauce for her every year, and she was sweating just by smelling it.

Before Zhao Xiangwan could speak, Zhu Kang and Zhou Rulan spoke at the same time: "Yes!" Some chili sauce. ”

Well, these two are not spicy or happy.

After eating rice noodles, Zhu Kang took the initiative to help.

Zhu Kang is a diligent person, careful, and has work in his eyes, helping to wipe the table, tidy up the dishes and chopsticks, and take the bowls to the kitchen faucet to help wash them.

The more Zhao Dacui looked at it, the more she liked it, looking at Ji Zhao and Zhou Rulan who were sitting quietly at the table, and whispered to Zhao Xiangwan, who was standing beside her to help with the cloth bowls: "Those two are Miss Jiao and Guigongzi, just you and this young man, they are the ones who work." ”

Zhao Xiangwan: "Everyone's life is different. ”

Zhao Dacui said: "Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run, you can do it yourself, it is better than anything, our family will do everything late, and your life is the best." ”

Zhao Xiangwan smiled and didn't say anything.

In fact, Ji Zhao is the one who cooks at home, but he is only at home, only cooking for Xiang Wan, and somewhere else, he doesn't want him to move a finger.

As for Zhou Rulan, it is better to understand. Although she often helped her mother share the work of taking care of her younger siblings when she was a child, she was also the eldest lady from the provincial capital, and she was also a nanny at home, so how could she take the initiative to help in the rice noodle shop?

Only Zhu Kang, who was born as a bitter child and experienced the pain of bereavement, Zhao Xiangwan just said that if his sister was still alive, maybe he would also open a rice noodle shop.

At about two o'clock, there were many fewer customers in the store, Zhao Dacui forcibly pushed Zhu Kang, who was still washing dishes in Ledian, to the side and sat down, and then boiled ginger and salt tea for them, and put fried sesame seeds and beans in the tea: "You sit and rest for a while." ”

Ginger salt tea is a specialty of Luo County.

Ginger is minced with ginger bowls, boiled water, tea leaves and salt, and it is a bowl of ginger salt tea that is drunk every day. When a guest comes, put sesame seeds and soybeans on top. Those who are used to eating think it is delicious; People who can't get used to eating it will find it weird.

- Salt in tea? Be all abroad.

- Are there sesame seeds and soybeans in the water? Are you sure it's tea? Not vegetable soup?

Zhou Rulan was obviously not used to it, so she put down the tea bowl after only taking a sip.

Ji Zhao is not picky, but he doesn't like it very much, so he drinks slowly.

Zhu Kang was so happy that he seemed to see the delicious food in the world, and drank while blowing, and finally even ate the tea leaves with minced ginger, sesame seeds, and beans into his stomach, and asked Zhao Dacui unsatisfied: "Aunt, is there anything else?" ”

Zhao Dacui's favorite junior who can eat happily picked up the tile tea can: "Yes, yes, enough!" ”

Zhu Kang picked up the tea bowl again, took a big sip, and said to Zhao Dacui: "Gu, I am from Luo County, I grew up in Jiuwan Village, Caiqi Township when I was a child, and my grandmother is the best at frying ginger and salt tea, but at that time, the family was poor, and I was reluctant to put sesame seeds until the New Year, and the beans were counted and put in, not as proud as you." ”

Zhao Dacui chuckled: "You kid." When I was a child, which family was not poor? You can still put soybeans in your house, that's already willing. I know the Caiqi Township you are talking about, and now it has long been changed to a town, and the three villages of Jiuwan Village, Houwan Village, and Xiaowan Village have all been demolished and rebuilt into a bay because they are close to the bus station, and they have become Sancun Bay. ”

Mimura Bay, it turns out that this is the origin.

Zhu Kang suddenly looked at Zhao Xiangwan: "No wonder after I arrived at Sancun Bay, I always felt that everything in front of me was so familiar, it turned out that the villagers here were all moved from those villages, and the houses built and the vegetable fields were more or less with the style of the original village." ”

Zhao Xiangwan said: "Zhu Feipeng is in charge of interrogating Gong Changshui, I read the transcript, he tried a lot of cases of pornography, gambling, drugs, and human trafficking in Sancun Bay, but he didn't ask about the origin of the village. Now that I think about it, the name Gong Changshui has the same surname as Gong Sichun, maybe it's the same village as you, maybe it's a relative? ”

Zhu Kang stood up: "Yes, how can you forget such an important clue?" ”

Zhao Xiangwan said: "It's okay, it's too late to ask now." We have already arrived in Luo County anyway, and Sancun Bay is so close that we can ask at any time. ”

Zhu Kang sat down slowly, looking lonely, and muttered, "It's all demolished?" That...... My old house is gone, right? I still remember that there is a large floor in front of my house, and there are many trees planted on both sides of the floor, and there is a mountain bag behind the house, in which bamboo is planted. ”

Zhao Dacui likes Zhu Kang very much, and said gently: "If it is demolished, it will be demolished, how far it used to be from the village to the county seat, and it took more than ten miles to walk." How good it is now, it is in the county, the transportation is convenient, and it is convenient for children to go to school. When the village was demolished and rebuilt, the villagers did not know how happy they were. ”

Zhu Kang felt that it was not good to dismantle it. Originally, I thought that although the people were gone, the old house was still there, but who knew that these had been demolished. All the memories of childhood have become clouds of the past, and it is difficult to find the slightest trace, this feeling...... It's really uncomfortable.

Zhao Xiangwan couldn't bear to see him continue to be sad, so he led the topic to work: "Auntie, are you familiar with the old man over there in Sancun Bay?" The case we are going to investigate is related to the old case in Jiuwan Village. ”

When Zhao Dacui heard this, he immediately became interested: "The old case in Jiuwan Village is not the murder case of the ghost twenty years ago?" Your aunt has heard this happen, it's really scary. ”

Zhao Xiangwan looked at her: "You know? I haven't heard you mention it before. ”

Zhao Dacui said: "When that happened, you were only a little old, and you were not sensible at all. Your eldest cousin and second cousin must have heard of it, when they were so frightened that they were so frightened that they would not sleep until they hugged me every day. As long as there is thunder and rain at night, the whole village does not dare to go out, so we close the door, light the lights all night, and send a young strong man to keep vigil. ”

Zhu Kang sorted out his mood, turned his grief and anger into strength, took out his notebook, and began to ask: "Aunt, what did you know about the situation at that time?" ”

Zhao Dacui: "Alas, let me tell you, the family in Jiuwan Village is really pitiful, the family of six is neat, all of them were killed, and the blood ...... Shed all over the place. ”

Zhao Xiangwan glanced at her and reminded: "Auntie, if you know anything, just say it, don't exaggerate too much." ”

Zhao Dacui's old face turned red and stopped brain processing.

"After a long time, some details have been forgotten. However, I heard that the family that had the accident was in good condition and had money, so it attracted thieves, broke into the door, and hacked everyone from the old man to the child, and no one was missed. ”

"It rained heavily all night, and the blood flowed out of the house before it was discovered. Forehead...... I didn't see it with my own eyes, it was said by the villagers. ”

Although the public security bureau in the county town was not very concerned at that time, after all, six people died, and the county still attached great importance to it. It's just a pity that there are no clues. ”

"It's like a few thieves flying in the sky and running away after killing someone."

Compared with what Ah Qiang said, Zhao Xiangwan was also sad in his heart when he heard it.

Who would have thought that this sensational tragedy was actually committed by three sixteen-year-old boys?

A Gong Sichun, and Gong Yong are real cousins, but because they were rejected for borrowing money, they actually held a grudge and took the opportunity to destroy Gong Dazhuang's family. It is conceivable that as soon as Gong Dazhuang dies, his family's house, vegetable field, and property will definitely belong to Gong Sichun's family.

Lu Shangwu, like Lu Fuqiang, is from Xiaowan Village, not far from Jiuwan Village, and adults and children from the two villages often come and go. It's just that because of his youth and arrogance, and under the influence of the spirit of the rivers and lakes, the whole Three Knives Society, tattoos on his arms, and shouting for murder.

Ignorant and shameless!

Lu Fuqiang suffered from sleepwalking syndrome after the murder, and he was able to sleep peacefully for a day.

But I don't know if the initiator, Gong Sichun, who has set the goal of killing, and Lu Shangwu, who is clamoring to kill people and preach the Tao, will their conscience hurt?

Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang glanced at each other, and they both understood the anger in each other's hearts.

These two men must be found and let them be punished by the law and judged by conscience!

Chapter 114 Household Registration

◎Family register documents piled up like a mountain◎

After settling down, Zhao Xiangwan and Zhu Kang couldn't stay idle at all, and they couldn't wait to go to Sancun Bay to investigate.

However, because of Gong Changshui's confession about the pickling of Sancun Bay, because the case is still under investigation, Gao Guangqiang instructed them not to startle the snake, so as not to let go of the relevant people.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xiangwan and the four of them came to the bus station Hongyu non-staple food store, ready to talk to the proprietress Qiao Hongyu.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the bus station was very lively.

Gray and white minibuses, the windows of which are covered with dust, a paper shell in front of the cab, on which are written with a brush to arrive at the station, and there are solicitors holding signs and shouting loudly.

"Star City, Star City, go now!"

"Zhu City, Zhu City, have you ever gone to Zhu City?"

"There are only three left, and when the three are full, the bus will go."

The red jade grocery store on the corner is still full of people.
