In the courtyard of the sailor's house, a group of strangers in tunics and labor suits were chattering endlessly.

Uncle Shi Wa and the sailor's mother stood in front of the eaves of the north room, both with calm faces.

When he saw us enter, a tall and thin man in a tunic immediately greeted us and said to the fairy grandmother, "Old man, please persuade your grandson and let him let him go." ”

The fairy grandmother said, "What the hell is going on?"

The tall and thin man said, "In the morning, after we had inspected the cemetery, one of the team members went to the back of a mound to relieve their hands, and they waited for a long time and did not come out.

"We were in a hurry, so we sent people to look behind the mound, and found that there was no one there at all.

"We searched all the way along the only path behind the mound, and after walking for about half an hour, we still couldn't find it.

"We were just about to turn around and go back when we saw him sneaking down the hill. ”

The tall and thin man said, pointing at Uncle Shiwa.

Uncle Shi Wa said angrily: "What is the sneaky, I just pulled weeds in the wheat field, squatted and pulled for a while, I felt tired, stood up and straightened my waist, and they rushed down the hillside and asked me viciously where I hid people." I haven't met anyone at all. ”

After hearing this, the fairy grandmother said to the tall and thin man: "In the morning, Shiwa did say that she was going to pull weeds in the wheat field, and the hillside you said was indeed our family's land. You people are gone, you should look for them again, how can you just suspect people?"

When the tall and thin man heard this, he raised his voice and said, "He is the one who repeatedly obstructs our work in the morning. When we inspect the grave, he must have held a grudge and deliberately took revenge on us. ”

The fairy grandmother didn't continue to listen to the tall and thin man, walked up to Uncle Shiwa and said, "Shiwa, grandma believes that you are not that kind of person. But I still have to ask, have you ever done that thing? If so, let them go quickly, it's a crime. If you make a big mistake for the sake of momentary emotions, it doesn't matter what you do yourself, how will you let Su Zhen and the sailors live in the future. ”

When Uncle Shiwa heard this, he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "Grandma, since you went to He's house, I went up the mountain to pull weeds in the wheat field, and as soon as I got to the field, I squatted among the wheat seedlings to work, and I didn't see a blind ghost in the middle, how could I hide their people?"

Besides, even if I want to take revenge on them, a living person, how can I easily say that I will hide it?

The tall and thin man suddenly stared at Uncle Shi Wa with his eyes straight and walked towards him.

Walking up to Uncle Shi Wa, he looked Uncle Shi Wa up and down, frowned and said, "Could it be ...... Do you mean that people were killed by you?"

Uncle Shi Wa was so frightened that he took two steps back.

The fairy grandmother said sharply at this time: "You can't spew blood, how can you say it casually when killing someone is such a big thing?"

The tall and thin man said: "Judging from the circumstances at the time, we cannot find a second possible explanation other than that he hid or killed people. ”

The fairy grandmother said, "The missing person may have gone home in the city first." Didn't you go to his house first?"

The tall and thin man said, "That is impossible, we followed the only path behind the mound where he went to relieve his hands, and chased all the way to the stream at the bottom of the mountain in the west, and then ran along the stream all the way to the west end of the village, and then ran to the entrance of the village in the east, but we did not see anyone." There was no way he could run into the city on his own. Even if he wants to go home first, the work is already done by then, and everyone is going back soon, so why should he go around in a big circle and run back to the city?"

The fairy grandmother said, "Then it is possible for him to climb over the hill to the west and go to the canyon behind the mountain." ”

The tall and thin man said, "Then it is even more impossible, I know on the other side of the mountain, it is the ruins left by the steelmaking of the past, it is said that it is often haunted, and no one will run to that side." ”

The fairy grandmother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief at this time, lowered her head and said slowly: "Since this is the case, I am afraid that the suspicion on Shi Wa's body cannot be pushed away." ”

She looked up at Shi Wa again and said, "You just go with them, what you haven't done is what you haven't done, go and make it clear to them, don't be afraid, everything is about evidence, just have suspicions, they can't convict you." ”

At this time, the sailor's mother stepped forward and took the fairy grandmother's arm, crying and said: "Grandma, Shiwa can't go with them, can he come back, if he can't come back, what can I do with the sailor." ”

The fairy grandmother took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears of the soldier's mother, took her hand and said, "Don't worry, Shiwa will come back in a day or two, now is not the society where people ate people in the past, they will give Shiwa a justice." ”

Uncle Shi Wa gritted his teeth and said, "Su Zhen, don't make grandma sad, I'll go with them." Grandma is right, she didn't do anything wrong, and she wasn't afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. I don't believe they've wronged me. ”

Surrounded by the investigation team, Uncle Shi Wa got into the car.

As soon as the car started, the sailor's mother hurriedly ran out of the door, handed a package to Uncle Shiwa, and said, "It contains some dry food for you, as well as two changes of clothes." You've got to come back early. ”

Before the sailor's mother could finish speaking, the car started.

The fairy grandmother looked at the convoy that was gradually moving away, and shouted loudly: "Shiwa, tell me everything you did in the morning, the more detailed the better, the more detailed the better." ”

A burst of dust and smoke became farther and farther away, and three words floated out of the dust: "Know-Dao-!"

After the dust and smoke, at the mouth of the alley in front, Daddy was secretly wiping his tears.

On the way back to Beishan, I asked the fairy grandmother: "Don't you worry about letting Uncle Shiwa take Uncle Shi away like that?"

The fairy grandmother said: "I was a little worried that Shi Wa really did something stupid. If that's the case, no one can save him.

"If he hadn't done it, I wouldn't have been worried at all. Because of the current law, evidence comes first, without evidence, Shiwa will not be convicted, and he will be able to come back in five or six days at most. ”

I said, "Based on Uncle Shiwa's words alone, you believe that he hasn't done it? It seems that you have absolute trust in Uncle Shiwa." I don't believe Uncle Shi Wa would do anything like that. ”

"I don't believe him based on his words alone. "Although I also know Shiwa very well and know that he will not tell lies in front of me, but in this case, I will never draw conclusions based on what he says, because this matter is related to his future." ”

I asked curiously, "Do you know the whereabouts of that man?"

"So to speak. Grandma said casually.

"Huh?!" I was dumbfounded.

The fairy grandmother glanced at me and said half-jokingly, "Not only do I know the whereabouts of that person, but if you use your brain, you will also know it." ”

I felt even more confused.
