Chen Xiao finished talking to herself.

I took the pen again and wrote the third question on the paper.

"Why did Uncle Wande run?"

This question was written, stemming from a habit that Chen Xiao has developed now.

"That time may have been because of me, so Uncle Wande didn't dare to call the police easily. But after that, why did he choose to go away? ”

Chen Xiao asked, subconsciously looking at Lin Xi.

The latter frowned and thought, and said as he thought, "You can't help yourself, right?" Maybe he wanted to find another chance, but he had too many concerns. ”

Chen Xiao chewed this sentence in his heart, and then nodded: "It is very likely that there is definitely more than one deterrent method of the murderer, so Uncle Wande has not gone to the police." In the end, he couldn't bear it anymore and decided to go away, which just explained Uncle Wande's unusual parting words when he said goodbye to his father at the station. ”

"He said that my dad should keep the house well, and for my dad, his home should be me and my mom except for himself. To protect this home is to protect me and my mother. ”

Chen Xiao said, looking at Lao Chen and his mother again.

Lao Chen didn't speak, and he was silent all of a sudden, as if something called heaviness was suddenly pressed in his heart.

Chen Xiao didn't care about him, and said to Lin Xi: "Xiaoxi, you go to the county bureau with me, or stay at home with your mother?" ”

Lin Xi looked at her mother-in-law's state and said with a smile: "I'm at home with my mother, you guys can go." ”

Chen Xiao nodded and did not dwell on this matter, and walked out of the house and got into the car with Lao Chen.

Lao Chen participated in the placement of the stone lion back then, and Chen Xiao felt that he needed to take him to make a record, and the provincial people were tongue-in-cheek.

After getting into the car, Chen Xiao made a phone call to Li Hui, and he was already taking Chen Ding and Cheng Qing's family members to the township first.

The purpose of going to the township is to save time, otherwise it will be a lot of waste of time to go to the county seat.

Chen Xiao drove to the township police station, and after seeing Li Hui, he said, "I have a proposal, you leave two people." The rest is to take Cheng Qing's family to the Hongshan Branch as soon as possible, and the top priority now is to determine the identity of the skull. ”

Li Hui glanced at Chen Ding and the others in the interrogation room of the police station, and he was a little hesitant.

You must know that Chen Xiao and Chen Ding are related!

Chen Xiao didn't speak, everything was up to Li Hui.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Hui nodded: "Okay, then Chen Ding and the inquiry work of the descendants of the craftsmen will be entrusted to Mr. Chen." ”

"Don't worry, I'll ask the two people you left behind, and I'll watch from the side."

Li Hui was relieved, leaving two guys to follow behind Chen Xiao.

After Chen Xiao explained some of the questions they wanted to ask, he followed him into the inquiry room.

In the room, Chen Ding was very anxious.

When he saw Chen Xiao, Chen Ding seemed to have found the backbone: "Chen Xiao, what do you mean by this, why did you bring me to the police station again?" ”

Chen Xiao looked at him indifferently: "You calm down, you have to come whenever you want a case involving human life." Later, cooperate with the inquiries of these two police officers, and you can go back as long as there are no problems. ”

"Okay."

In desperation, Chen Ding could only sit down.

One of the criminal policemen asked: "First question, when did your father Chen Yuan decide to place a stone lion in front of his house?" Was this his personal idea, or was it the suggestion of someone in your family? ”

Chen Ding was a little puzzled, and replied: "I have explained this question, the stone lion is what my father wants to pose, and he feels atmospheric." Finally, I found a gentleman who understands feng shui, and at the suggestion of that gentleman, I determined the date and direction of the placement. According to my cousin, the date of the stone lion is the day of the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

"In other words, the person who is going to place the stone lion is your father, and there is no one else's advice, right?"

"I really can't guarantee this, at that time, I was running away all the year round, and I didn't have time to take care of my family's affairs." Chen Ding replied, and the policeman who asked changed his question:

"How many of your relatives were at home at the time?"

"My father, my mother, and my second brother and younger brother are all here. The second brother is now locked up in Dongzhou, and the younger brother died in an accident during the summer vacation of the second year. ”

"What accident?"

Chen Ding: "He was admitted to a prestigious school at that time, and his family was happy and held a thank-you banquet for him." At that time, the family watched him grow up, so they allowed him to toast, but he didn't expect that he actually drank alcohol poisoning after coming and going, and the next morning when my dad went to call him, he was already out of gas. ”

Chen Xiao nodded at the police, indicating that this matter was true.

After the policeman understood, he then asked, "In your memory, did your father deliberately mention the pair of stone lions?" I mean, later in life, or did he pay attention to the pair of stone lions from time to time? ”

Chen Ding thought for a while and replied: "I don't remember well whether I mentioned it or not, but my father really cherishes those lions." I will clean it every once in a while, because the material is cement, so he has been well maintained, for fear of being bumped by someone. ”

"I can be sure of this, when I was a child, I was just curious to climb up and be chased by his father all over the village." Chen Xiao said, the inquiring policeman was stunned, and was about to continue, but Chen Xiao asked first:

"Do you know why your pair of lions are made of cement?"

"How do I know this, at that time my dad said to do it, I was busy outside where to worry about this, just ask how much it is and then send the money home."

"How much money did you send back?"

"At that time, I was making money, it should be 10,000 yuan."

"In 1991, we had 10,000 in the countryside, which means that your father was rushing to use good materials at that time. At that time, even if it was granite, the pair of stone lions didn't cost that much money. made of cement, it is estimated that even a fraction of it will not be used. ”

Chen Xiao said, Chen Ding nodded again and again: "Yes, so I think my Lao Tzu deliberately cheated me for money." After all, there are two younger brothers in the family, you are our family, you must know that my dad loves his youngest son the most. ”

"Well, although I don't have much impression of your little brother, I can know it after listening to others for so many years."

Chen Dingtan spread his hands: "In addition to leaving money for my two younger brothers, I thought that I might have been deceived." The gentleman who calculates feng shui, as well as the stone carving factory, is estimated to join forces to make a game for him. He, relying on me to make money for so many years, he doesn't treat money as money, he's stupid! ”

Chen Xiao didn't answer, and silently leaned her back against the wall of the inquiry room.

Seeing this, the two criminal policemen could only continue to ask Chen Ding, and the latter knew everything and answered endlessly.

I don't know how long it has been, Chen Xiao suddenly turned his head and asked, "Chen Ding, why did your father stand under the hanging stone lion that day?" ”

Well?

When Chen Xiao asked this question, both Chen Ding and the two criminal policemen turned their heads at the same time.
