folk detective

Chapter 356
Once people are free, they often cannot get rid of the lazy behavior, especially those who have a little money and have business at home.

When I am free, I will find places for entertainment, playing mahjong, visiting, shopping and so on, to pass the day.

Those with a little knowledge and pursuit may also want to travel.

People like Zhang Yunxia, ​​who got fat into balls after getting married, definitely didn’t come from traveling, but from being idle at home, playing mahjong and being lazy.

Liu Mang was born in the countryside, and even his hometown has mahjong, so there must be a mahjong parlor in the town.

After dinner, Liu Mang asked Xiao Doubi to drive Lu's father's tram to the town to check out the mahjong parlor, but he chatted with Xu Wu.

Judging from the conversation with Zhang Tianqiang, although Xu Wu didn't know much, he still knew some bits and pieces of information.

"Tell me! Tell me everything you know about Zhang Yunxia." Liu Mang looked at Xu Wu intently.

The deceased Zhang Yunxia.

Cause of death: Allergy to seafood.

The cause of death is unknown.

It is unknown whether the deceased had any enemies or not.

Under the current situation, if you want to know Zhang Yunxia, ​​it is impossible to start with Zhang Tianqiang. You can only ask Xu Wu, who had a relationship with Zhang Yunxia.

But when Xu Wu was in high school, he fell in love with Zhang Yunxia. Now both of them are in their 30s. It has been more than ten years, and even Xu Wu can't remember the details of the past.

All I know is that even though Zhang Yunxia had a domineering and arrogant personality back then, she had a good figure and was not infected with lazy behavior.

But as time goes by, people will change, and Xu Wu is not sure if Zhang Yunxia has changed.

After all, more than ten years have passed, and people's thinking will change with time and life.

"The Zhang Yunxia in my memory, although she doesn't like to work, and has a domineering personality, but she is not a person with corrupt character." Xu Wu said in a deep voice.

No one is willing to discredit their first love.

First love is beautiful.

It is throbbing, and it is the first love that sprouts deep in my heart.

Deep in Xu Wu's heart, he cherishes this first love.

Otherwise, Liu Mang would not be asked to help investigate the case because of Zhang Yunxia's death.

"Hey!"

In fact, Liu Mang has always been very repulsed by one sentence: poor people come out of poor mountains and bad waters.

But this sentence is sometimes a good interpretation.

The education received in the mountain and in the town is not high. Some people, even if they have a family and start a business, are still immature in thought, and live a life of idleness every day.

I don't know how to work hard, I don't know how to think about the future, I don't know the power of knowledge.

Especially some full-time idlers, who have nothing to do, go to play mahjong, spend their days as a pastime, and waste their lives.

Half an hour later, Xiaodoubi came back, and said with a somewhat unsightly expression: "Brother, there are three mahjong parlors and a billiard parlor in the town... However, they have been sealed off and are currently being rectified."

"The reason!" There must be a reason for the seizure. Liu Mang guessed in his heart that it might have something to do with Zhang Yunxia.

"Suspected of gambling, illegal business operations, failed fire control, and no registered business license." Xiao Doubi finished in one breath.

The supervision in the town is not as good as that in the urban area, so some private mahjong parlors operate without a license. Once they are found out, they will of course be shut down and even fined.

"Where's the person?" Liu Mang frowned.

"Administrative detention, fine! He is still being held at the police station, and it is said that he may be sentenced." Xiao Doubi smiled wryly.

As soon as Zhang Yunxia died, the police found out that she was still playing mahjong in the mahjong parlor the day before her death, so they went to the mahjong parlor to investigate clues.

After this investigation, it was found that the mahjong parlor was operating illegally, without a certificate, and was suspected of gambling. Although it was only 20 yuan a round, it was illegal, so I was arrested.

There is no tolerance for illegal things.

As a result, there was a wave of strict investigations in the town, and it was bound to rectify or seal up all the illegal shops in the town until they became legal.

"Even if you find the boss, it's probably useless."

The person was arrested and taken to the police station, and the police asked all the questions that should be asked.

Judging from the current situation, the owner of the mahjong parlor who was arrested and taken to the police station probably doesn't know the situation.

Otherwise, some things will definitely be explained, and the police can follow the clues to lock down the suspect, but there is no one at present, which means that the owner of the mahjong parlor is only responsible for collecting money.

Not much is known about Zhang Yunxia.

"Go to some villagers or business owners and ask who are Zhang Yunxia's mahjong friends. Let's visit them." Liu Mang said in a low voice.

"I'll go too!" Xu Wu said.

Liu Mang didn't take his money, but still helped him.

To be honest, Xu Wu was very moved, so when he saw Xiao Doubi going to work, he thought that he was idle, so why not help Liu Mang and investigate this case together.

"never mind."

Liu Mang shook his head and said: "Although you can help with this kind of thing, if there is a murderer, I am afraid that if you ask about it, you will startle the snake, so let my people go. If you are idle and bored, go home first." ! If I have any clues here, I will tell you."

As an out-and-out farmer, it is already spring now.

Xu Wu must be very busy. His family needs to grow rice and cultivate land for other crops.

Otherwise, what will he eat at the end of the year!
What can I use to pay back the money and read to my children.

"Then I..."

When Xu Wu thought of his family's farmland and his wife plowing the land, he felt a little sad
"You go back first, don't worry, I actually promised to help you, and I will definitely do my best." Liu Mang patted Xu Wu's shoulder and said with a smile: "You are not from our field, even if you stay, you may not be able to How much you have helped us, you have already told us what you know, go back!"

Xu Wu is an honest man. Although he didn't achieve much in his life, Liu Mang felt that his character was far better than some accomplished people.

"Thank you! Mr. Liu."

Xu Wu is not that kind of hypocritical person, he even has farm work to do at home, so there is no delay, but Liu Mang actually asked him to go back, of course he cannot delay.

After bidding farewell to Liu Mang, Xu Wu stopped a bus on the side of the road to return to his hometown.

After three hours, it was getting dark, and Xiao Doubi came back out of breath, stopped the tram, and said roughly, "Brother, you have lived up to your expectations, and finally found two people."

Ah!
It is already very good to find two people within three hours. Liu Mang, who was sitting in the lobby drinking tea, immediately poured a cup of tea for Xiao Doubi: "Sit down and talk."

Opened his mouth and drank a cup of tea, Xiao Doubi took a long breath and said: "Since Zhang Yunxia's accident, the nearby mahjong parlor has been closed, and there are fewer people going to play mahjong. Some mahjong friends saw that the boss was arrested and fined. Keep silent like a cicada, not daring to play mahjong, for fear of hurting myself."

"So many people don't dare to play anymore. Even if they play, they just ask casually at home, and dare not go to the mahjong parlor to gamble. I found a lot of people, and only then did I find out about the mahjong friends who often have a table with Zhang Yunxia."

After finishing speaking in one breath, Xiao Doubi sat down.

"However, these two people are also terrified now. The police found them and asked them. So far, they are so frightened that they panic when they see someone asking about Zhang Yunxia." He continued.

"All right!"

No matter how frightened the bird is, no matter what, these two people must get in touch.

"I'll stay here tonight, and we'll go to them tomorrow." Liu Mang said in a low voice, "Let's go out for a stroll at night. The night view of the town is quite beautiful."

A week ago, Liu Mang sent Lu Hui's family back and went out for a stroll at night. He knew that the night scene in the town was not bad. It was almost the same as the urban area, and there would be barbecue stalls on the roadside.

Put a few tables and stools, and the villagers in the town will gather in front of the barbecue stalls to eat and chat about life.

Speaking of which, Xiao Doubi has really never appreciated the night view of the town.

"Don't go out tonight."

Father Lu did not know when he appeared in front of the door. He seemed to have heard the conversation between Liu Mang and Xiao Doubi, and walked into the hall: "Since Zhang Yunxia passed away, the body has not been buried. It has been placed in the shop on the first floor of my house, and it is open at night. The door, the mourning hall is lighted, white lanterns are burning, and the white candles look particularly oozing."

At night, many shops in the town are closed, but the shop of Zhang Tianqiang's family is still burning the mourning hall...

The bustling and prosperous stage of the town's market is only that big. It just so happens that Zhang Tianqiang's home is in the most prosperous area of ​​the town's market.

All day long, the mourning hall is lit up, and the boss who usually comes out to set up a barbecue stall at night, how dare he come out.

Even if the owner of the barbecue stand dared to come out, the villagers in the town would not dare to come out.

Seeing Zhang Yunxia's mourning hall, the freezer where her body was frozen, and the photos of her remains, she was so frightened that she lost her wits.

Especially, today is the first seven.

Rural people are superstitious, and they are extremely taboo about life and death, especially when someone dies and the body has not been buried, who dares to set up a stall within a hundred meters of the dead.

Too bad.

Not only the shops feel unlucky, but even the villagers who go shopping feel bad.

Liu Mang came from the countryside, and his grandfather was an old mage, so he knew very well the villagers' fear of life and death.

"In this way, we are going even more."

Liu Mang is not necessarily afraid of things that others are afraid of, because he knows whether it is bad or not, it depends on how he sees it.

A person's life, from birth, has to face death.

So afraid, nothing to mend.

"what!"

Father Lu was taken aback by Liu Mang's words: "Xiao Liu, what are you doing! Today is the first seven."

When people encounter matters of life and death, they are particularly confused and ignorant.

Father Lu is no exception.

"Uncle, your grandfather is an old sorcerer. He practiced deeds for the dead, and he has practiced for the dead all his life. Do you think I will be afraid of the dead?"

When he was young, his grandfather intended to train him to be the heir.

It's a pity that Liu Mang is not interested in the industry of the village's old mage, but it doesn't mean he doesn't understand the industry of "white rice".

When a person dies, he is dead, and there are no taboos or taboos.

Otherwise, the undertaker who made up the dead in the funeral parlor would be unlucky enough to die, and even his family members would be killed.

There are also those, as long as the murder case involves a complicated case, an autopsy will be performed on the corpse at every turn. If the luck is unlucky, the forensic doctor will have been unlucky.

Who will work in this industry.

"Humans are not much different from animals. They are dead when they die, and there are no such things as hauntings. Do you think that if you put them in the mourning hall and don't bury them, you will scare people to death?"

"No, everyone will only think you are very pitiful."

After so many days, according to human nature, people should be buried in the ground after death, but Zhang Yunxia was delayed by her father because she wanted to fight for the custody of her grandson.

The purpose is to use Zhang Yunxia's body to fight against Yao Jin, so as to arouse the vigilance of the world and let the world speak for him.

However, Zhang Tianqiang didn't know that what he did not only failed to win the sympathy of the world, but aroused disgust.

"But……"

Liu Mang's grandfather, Lu's father also naturally knew about it.

During the Chinese New Year, at Liu Mang's house, I had a chat with Liu Mang's grandfather about performing rituals for the dead.

In fact, when he learned that Liu Mang's grandfather was mainly in his hometown, doing things for the villagers in ten miles and eight towns, he was also stunned, unable to realize that Liu Mang would have such a grandfather.

"Nothing but."

Liu Mang shook his head lightly: "If Zhang Tianqiang doesn't bury Zhang Yunxia for a long time and put it in the mourning hall at home, it will definitely arouse the collective resentment of the villagers in the town after a while. When the time comes, the relevant departments will definitely go down. Use coercive measures to make Zhang Tianqiang bury the body."

This is the town, there is a dead body in the mourning hall at home, even though it is frozen in the freezer, but...

Indecent, bad influence.

"Forget it, be careful yourself."

Unable to persuade Liu Mang, Father Lu didn't want to say any more: "At night, Zhang Yunxia's mother may cry in front of the mourning hall, don't be frightened."

"Cry and cry!"

For some reason, Liu Mang didn't feel any sympathy when he heard this.

It stands to reason that after the death of his daughter, the mother weeping in front of the corpse in the mourning hall should be sympathetic and painful to hear, but when he came to Zhang Yunxia, ​​he didn't feel this way at all.

After dinner, since spring has just entered, it is still early spring, the weather is still cold, and it gets dark early, when Liu Mang and Xiao Doubi went out, the sky was pitch black.

Looking from the direction of the market in the distance, you can only see the lights of a building, which looks a little popular in the dark night.

With the flashlight on, Liu Mang and Xiao Doubi walked straight to the market.

When Liu Mang came here last time, the night was still lively, but now...

The busiest part of the market in the town is as deserted as a mountain village and wild land. It is not popular at all, and there is not even a barbecue stand in sight.

However, a little further away from Zhang Tianqiang's house, some restaurants and barbecue stalls were open with lights on.

It's just that the most prosperous area was completely deserted because of Zhang Yunxia's death.

The desolate weeping sounded from the mourning hall, which sounded particularly penetrating.

Liu Mang and Xiao Doubi came out from a distance, hearing the sound, their brows gradually raised.

The crying sound was too desolate and penetrating, not to mention frightening people who were about to go out to visit the night market, even his neighbors on the left and right would probably be scared to death.

Xiao Doubi was also frightened by the crying and got goosebumps, and a layer of cold sweat broke out all over his body: "Brother, let's go back! It's too scary, as if passing by a new grave at night, and my heart is shaking."

Liu Mang also had this feeling of fear when he was young.

However, as he grows older and has seen his grandfather do things when he was a child, he actually has no fear in his heart at this sad scene of remembering the death of his relatives, even if he cries bleakly.

Walking to the mourning hall again, Liu Mang found that Zhang Tianqiang was no longer there, and there was only an old woman sitting on a chair by the door crying.

The cry was miserable, heartbreaking and goosebumps.

"Auntie, is it interesting for you to do this!" Standing in front of the old woman, Liu Mang couldn't help sighing.
