Chapter 7: Homicide
"Hao Ren, Hao Huai."
Hao Ren had just finished playing 120 when a noisy sound came from the corner of the path outside the ancestral hall.
Immediately afterwards, a group of people came over with flashlights, led by Hao Ren's father, Hao Guofeng.
"Hao Ren, are you alright?"
Hao Guofeng saw the two people at the door of the ancestral hall, and hurriedly walked up and asked with a concerned face.
"Dad, I'm fine." Hao Ren shook his head and asked, "Dad, what's going on in the village?" ”
"That's it, Uncle Hao, it's an ambulance in the middle of the night, and it's a police car, and it's a thief?"
Hao Huai handed over a Huazi, and smoked cigarettes to a group of fellow village elders behind Hao Guofeng one by one.
An uncle took the Huazi handed over by Hao Huai, washed it beautifully after ordering it, and said with a pout: "Where is the thief, it's murder!" ”
"It's all dead, Guo Feng can't rest assured that you dolls are a few of you." The other middle-aged man shook his head and explained after pointing at Hua Zi in the same way.
The middle-aged man looked into the ancestral hall and asked, "Where is that kid in my family?" ”
It's just that because there are only two permanent lamps in the ancestral hall emitting faint candle flames, I can't see clearly, I can only see two figures lying in the corner of the wall next to the altar.
Hao Huai looked back at the two people in the ancestral hall who were stunned by him, and said with a bitter face: "That, Uncle Ping, Hao Shuai just ...... Well, you're going to hear me explain. ”
"I said that I would let the adults come to guard the spirit, you two have to stay, the brazier is about to go out, and you don't know how to burn the paper."
Suddenly, Hao Guofeng's somewhat stern voice sounded, startling the two of them.
After speaking, Hao Guofeng directly picked up the two of them, rushed into the ancestral hall, and threw a handful of dark paper into the brazier.
Suddenly, a tongue of fire burst out, illuminating the entire ancestral hall.
"What's wrong with the two boys?"
After adding the paper, Hao Guofeng saw the two young people lying in the corner at a glance.
"Lele ......" Uncle Ping exclaimed, thinking that his precious son had also been killed, and hurriedly rushed into the ancestral hall.
Hao Huai hurriedly followed, and kept explaining: "That, Uncle Ping, you have to listen to my explanation!" It's not what you think, you can't blame me for this, they have to open the coffin......"
Hao Ren turned around and looked at the noise in the ancestral hall, a little speechless.
Then he looked at his father, who was still adding paper to the brazier, and his heart was a little sour.
He studied all the way and is still studying further, while Hao Huai, who is the same age, has already mixed up his personal appearance, built a villa and bought a car......
Sometimes, he wonders if he really took the wrong path!
"Dad......"
Hao Ren silently shouted in his heart, Hao Guofeng looked back at Hao Ren with loving eyes as if he had sensed something.
"How so!"
Looking at his father's eyes full of kindness, as well as his body that was already a little rickety, Hao Ren's heart was turbulent.
Under the light of the tongue of fire in the brazier, his father Hao Guofeng had no shadow!
"Why is this happening?"
Hao Ren, who grew up in the countryside, naturally has to accept the influence of ghost stories, and there is a law in every ghost story:
Ghosts, there are no shadows!
"I must have seen it wrong."
Hao Ren comforted himself in his heart.
His father is a ghost, who can accept this.
Outside the ancestral hall, a middle-aged man with a flashlight glanced at Hao Ren thoughtfully, and then talked and laughed with his companions beside him.
"Hao Ren, what's wrong with you? Uncomfortable? ”
Hao Guofeng added dark paper to the brazier, just glanced at the two unconscious young people in the corner, stood up and walked straight out.
"Dad, it's okay."
Hao Ren tried his best to control the expression on his face, but the shock and fear could not be concealed.
"If you're tired, go back and rest."
It's just that Hao Guofeng didn't seem to see the look on Hao Ren's face, and he was still full of love and care.
"Hmm."
Hao Ren nodded, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by an angry voice.
"You baby is too ruthless, if Lele has any three long and two short, Lao Tzu and you are not finished."
It was Uncle Ping who walked out with Hao Huai's ear.
Fortunately, the two of them just looked at the blood on their faces and were a little scary, and the injuries were not serious.
"Hao Ren, tell me quickly, if they suddenly go crazy and want to open the coffin of the second uncle."
Hao Huai looked at Hao Ren at the door for help, not daring to move.
Hao Ren opened his mouth to explain for Hao Huai: "Uncle Ping, what Hao Huai said is true, there was no way at that time, it is more important to send Lele and them to the hospital as soon as possible." ”
"Hmph, if Hao Ren didn't lie, Lao Tzu wouldn't have spared you."
Uncle Ping let go of Hao Huai's ears, looked at Hao Ren and asked, "Lele wants to open the coffin of the second uncle?" ”
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Well, I don't know why?" ”
"Uncle Ping, don't you know, it was really a slap in time at that time, if it weren't for ......"
Hao Huai, who was released, began to repeat the situation again, and by the way, described his forty-four-yard foot as the light of justice.
"Okay, okay, Guo Feng and I are watching here, waiting for the ambulance to come."
Uncle Ping took the Huazi handed over by Hao Huai and waved his hand to let the two go back.
"There was a death in the village, the police came, and they said it was murder, so you should pay attention to safety."
Uncle Ping explained again, and then turned around and went back to the ancestral hall.
"Let's go back first, don't run around tonight, the murderer hasn't been found yet."
Hao Guofeng also confessed, turned around and walked into the ancestral hall.
"Let's go, we'll send you back."
Outside the ancestral hall, a few villagers with flashlights spoke up and motioned for Hao Ren to go back together.
Hao's house.
The cement road leading to the head of the village from the ancestral hall at the end of the village, a group of people walked slowly with flashlights.
"Zhuzi, is there really a murder in the village?"
Hao Huai took out Huazi, gave one to several people in his companionship, and asked casually.
A sturdy young man nodded at Huazi and shook his head and said, "How can there be, the police came and pulled up the cordon, and there was no movement, saying that the murder was guessed by Uncle Ping." ”
"Then why did Uncle Ping say it was murder?" Hao Ren asked again with some doubts: "Who is in trouble?" ”
Zhuzi took a sip of Huazi, spit out a smoke ring and said, "It seems that something happened to Wang's sister-in-law, and it was his son-in-law who called the police." ”
"Sister-in-law?"
Hao Ren was a little puzzled, what sister-in-law?
"Is it Wang Cuicui, who remarried and died the year before last?" Hao Huai asked at the right time.
"Who else but him?"
Zhuzi pursed his lips and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Sister-in-law Wang and his son-in-law have an improper relationship, and some people in the village say that her son-in-law killed Sister-in-law Wang." ”
"And what's going on?"
Hao Huai's gossip heart was ignited, he has been working hard outside in the past few years, and he doesn't know more about the affairs of the village than Hao Ren.
"You haven't heard of that."
The pillar deliberately slowed down, and the three of them fell to the back and whispered.
"I heard that Sister-in-law Wang is too powerful, her son-in-law is a little unbearable, and even a little nervous, and says that he wants to leave every day, but Sister-in-law Wang won't let him leave the village."
Call......
The cigarette passed through his lungs, and the pillar exhaled a big puff of smoke and continued: "Some people say that this time it is Wang's sister-in-law, and her son-in-law is really unbearable, so she simply clicks on Wang's sister-in-law without doing anything." ”
"No, it won't!"
Hao Huai's eyes widened, this script is a bit explosive!
"Hell knows! That's what everyone in the village says anyway. ”
The pillar shook his head indifferently and quickened his pace to follow.
"Let's go, we're almost home."
Hao Ren also smiled, only thinking that the countrymen just like to chase after the wind.
"You don't believe it!"
Hao Huai suddenly stopped and looked at Hao Ren with a serious face.
Hao Ren looked at Hao Huai a little strangely and said, "What's wrong with you?" Shocked. ”
"Forget it, be careful yourself, I always feel that the village is a little unpeaceful."
After speaking, Hao Huai suddenly laughed, patted Hao Ren's shoulder and said, "I'm home, be careful yourself." ”
"Hmmm......"
Hao Ren nodded, watched Hao Huai walk into the self-built villa on the side of the cement road, shook his head and continued to walk towards the village.
In the distance, several police cars could be seen parked in the open space at the entrance of the village with their sirens flashing, and a young man in ragged clothes squatted on the side of the police car shivering......
