Chapter 138 The Old Man's Clue

The old man witnessed the entire suicide process, but he didn't know why the little girl Wang Peirong committed suicide. He just saw her crying while hugging the tombstone, and seemed to be whispering something, but the old man couldn't hear it clearly because it was too far away.

Weeping before dying, holding his father's tombstone, and then committing suicide with a sickle for sweeping the grave...

Hearing what the old man said, Liu Mang and Lin Yu became even more certain that there must be grievances for the little girl's suicide.

Otherwise, how could it be possible to cry at the grave before death.

"Old man, you have witnessed all this, why didn't you come out and tell us just now? Instead, you have to wait for the others to leave?" Liu Mang frowned, thinking that it might not be that simple for the old man to say it now!

The old man gave a wry smile.

Glancing at the people around him, he knew Liu Lin and Liu Xun, but not Liu Mang. Seeing that Liu Mang was very familiar with the police officer Lin Yu, he let go of his worries.

But before speaking, he still glanced in all directions, as if he was afraid of being seen by the people in the village. He didn't dare to speak until he confirmed that everyone in the village was gone: "If I stood up and said it just now, I would definitely cause a lot of trouble. What do the people in the village think?" It's not that you don't know that one thing more is worse than one thing less, don't cause trouble if you have nothing to do."

"There were a bunch of village ruffians here just now, and some of them are the grandfathers of village ruffians. Everyone is either neighbors or from the same village. If I say something nasty, after they hear it, they will definitely blame me and trouble me every day."

"I'm just a widowed old man. I'm old and rely on government subsidies to live. I don't have children, so how can I fight against these ruffians."

He was a little sad because he had a good relationship with Wang Peirong's grandparents.Every time Wang Peirong went to school and passed by his house, she saw that he couldn't move the firewood, so she helped to move it.

What the old man said was the truth. Lin Yu was born in a town, and he also understood the thoughts of rural people: "When you saw the deceased commit suicide, did you notice that there was someone sweeping the grave here? Then, after the deceased committed suicide, did anyone quietly left?"

He is a criminal policeman who specializes in solving murder cases.

When I was in the urban area, I was in charge of some weird and confusing cases. Many people committed suicide, but behind the suicide, there were many interests involved, or they had been humiliated, ravaged, threatened, etc...

These people are the source and culprits who forced the dead to commit suicide.

So these people need to be caught.

The old man is caught in the memory...

Liu Mang, Lin Yu and other policemen did not bother.

But in the end, he still didn't remember.

At this time, Liu Mang looked at the graves around them, and found that there were two graves on the left and right sides of them, less than ten meters apart.

Both graves were sprinkled with paper money and incense candles, and there were traces of firecrackers on the scene.

But the one on the left is quite perfunctory. There is still a pile of weeds on the grave and around it, which have not been removed at all.It's just that incense candles are sprinkled and paper money is sprinkled.

"Who does this tomb belong to? When did you come to worship?"

Liu Mang pointed to the grave on the left and asked the old man.

"Let me think about it!" The old man frowned, and Liu Mang glanced at his grandfather. Grandpa Liu Lin understood his grandson's intentions, walked up to the old man, took out a cigarette, and handed him a cigarette.
After smoking half a cigarette, the old man finally remembered, "I remember who this grave is, but I can't remember the name for a while. It was a young man who came to worship, about the same age as you..."

He looked at Liu Mang, and continued, "He worshiped very quickly. As soon as he came, he lit candles, burned incense, and scattered paper money... In less than 3 minutes, he lit firecrackers, and he didn't even remove the weeds on the grave..."

The village is full of folks from the countryside. When visiting the tomb, they often nod and say hello to each other when they meet, or pass a cigarette to chat.

But this young man is very unique.

When I came, I didn't ask them when I saw them, and I didn't go to walk around. I left after the worship, as if I was very anxious.

But as far as he knew, the young man had been home for a while, and it was said that he was only working and staying at home.Unlike other people who work in the city, they rush back to visit the grave, and then rush back to work in the city.

"Oh! When he left, did Yang Li's family come? Did the deceased Wang Peirong come?" Liu Mang asked.

"I seem to have just arrived, and when I left, I seemed to have a glance at Wang Peirong..." The old man's tone was a little uncertain.

After all, he just glanced at it casually at that time, and didn't watch it carefully.

"Old man, leave an address."

Lin Yu winked at his colleague and asked him to register the old man's address.

"I can't read." The old man shook his head, "I live in the only adobe house at the foot of the mountain. If you want to find me, you can go directly to my house to find me."

"By the way, I hope you don't talk nonsense about what I just said. If other villagers know about it, I will be in trouble. I don't want to help you, but I will cause trouble." He finished smoking the cigarette Finally, throw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamp it out.

"Don't worry, we are the police, we won't talk nonsense, and we won't cause trouble for you, the old man." Lin Yu said solemnly.

After seeing off the old man, it was almost five o'clock.Although the sky is not yet dark, it is already getting hazy, and the afterglow is gradually disappearing into the sky.

Lin Yu glanced at Liu Mang, Liu Xun, and Liu Lin, and his eyes fell on the pool of blood in front of the grave, "This matter will soon spread throughout the country. The death of a little girl in junior high school will cause a lot of trouble. There was a lot of shock, I guess it will be on the news tomorrow, and it will cause an uproar on the Internet. At that time, there will be a lot of pressure on the police station. After the family of the deceased wakes up..."

He seemed to have seen the sad and desperate look of Yang Li, the family member of the deceased, after waking up.

If Yang Li couldn't think about it and committed suicide directly, the consequences would be very dire. If this matter cannot be covered up, it will definitely be spread on the Internet, and it will soon spread throughout the country, and everyone will know about it.

"Intuition tells me that there must be a reason behind the deceased's suicide." Lin Yu looked at Liu Mang with a serious expression on his face, "Before the forensic autopsy report comes out, I hope you can help me to investigate secretly."

This is Wang Village. It was getting late at this time. Wang Village is adjacent to Green Mountain Village.Lin Yu lived in the town, and it was very difficult to investigate the cause of suicide, but it was easier for Liu Mang.

Because Liu Mang lives in the next village, and Liu Mang's grandfather Liu Lin is a mage, and he is very familiar with people from all over the world.With Liu Mang's help, it would be much more convenient than asking him directly.

Although he doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, every place has its own customs, and mages are already a profession in the countryside.As long as they can help solve the case, it doesn't matter what the other party's occupation is, the key is to solve the case.

"It's too late, and you can't find anything in the country. You can come back tomorrow, go back first! What is the relationship between us? Besides, you don't know what I do. I will definitely help when I wake up tomorrow morning." .” Liu Mang patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, telling him to go back first.

It was already late at this time, and today was the Double Ninth Festival. Everyone in the village went to sweep graves and pay respects to their ancestors. They must be very tired after a long day of trekking. Come.

Because the villagers are tired all day, they are busy eating and resting.

"Okay, then I'll go back first." Lin Yu nodded, his eyes fell on Liu Xun and Liu Lin: "Uncle, Grandpa Liu, I'll go back first, and I'll visit you tomorrow."
