I'm on duty in Yinshi

Chapter 176 Prisoner

The next morning.

Goo... Goo

The crowing of the rooster resounded through the village.

The remaining rainwater drips down the tile eaves, and occasionally birds fly by in the foothills not far away.

The wooden door of the coffin shop was pushed open forcefully.

Li Kui stretched his waist across the threshold and took a deep breath. The air after the rain was very fresh.He looked around a few times and guessed that the coffin shop should be at the entrance of the village. After thinking about it, he stood up to a higher place.

Looking far away, part of the road in the whole village is paved with cement, and part is rammed with loess. You can already see many old men and women cleaning up the sewage in front of the door with brooms.

There are two or three cement houses, and the rest are mud tile houses.

Now that he has seen the whole picture of Long'ao Village, Li Kui has a clearer understanding. This is indeed a small and remote mountain village. Because the mountain roads are difficult to navigate, the development speed is very slow, and the Internet and electricity are considered a great improvement.

Nothing worth mentioning at all.

Not long after, Li Kui returned to the coffin shop.

When he returned to the mourning hall, Xu Zhao happened to come down from the stairs with two dark circles under his eyes. His eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't know if he didn't sleep well or didn't sleep at all.

He covered his mouth and yawned:
"You got up so early."

"Well, it happened that the rain stopped, so I went out for a stroll."

Li Kui replied.

"what……"

With a smile on his face, Xu Zhao picked up the teapot on the wooden table and poured a glass of water: "There's nothing to do here, and it's very poor, unlike other villages that can become internet celebrity villages, or rely on beauty The landscape developed, here, there is nothing!"

"You don't like it here."

Li Kui's words hit the nail on the head.

Xu Zhao laughed awkwardly, raised his water glass and drank it down, and was about to say, "By the way, you originally..."

The conversation was interrupted.

"Can you notify the people in the village to come and identify the body?"

Li Kui looked at Yang Chao.

Xu Zhao licked his lips, looked at Li Kui's stern face, hesitated to speak, and swallowed the rest of "What did you plan to do when you went to the mountain?" and replied, "Of course!"

As soon as the words came out, there was a miniature version of Xu Zhao hitting his head in his heart, and his tone was full of hatred.

"What are you doing? Why don't people dare to ask after seeing you!"

at this time.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao."

A call came from outside the door, Li Kui turned his head to look, but saw a naive fat man standing at the door, who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old.

As he said that, the man rushed in stepping on the puddles, but when he saw a stranger in the shop, the intimacy on his expression froze for a moment, and he said with a little embarrassment: "This is..."

"guest."

Xu Zhao said directly.

"Oh."

Fatty looked at Li Kui's tall appearance, couldn't help raising his tone, and immediately shook the insulated box in his hand:

"My mother made something to eat, Brother Zhao, eat it quickly!"

"Okay, Xiaoyi, please help me say thank you to my aunt."

Xu Zhao couldn't help showing a smile on his face. He reached out to take it and opened it on the wooden table. They were all home-cooked dishes: rice porridge, green vegetables, steamed buns, and bacon. He couldn't help but licked his lips. what.

Looking at Li Kui, he hesitated and said, "Why don't you eat something first?"

"But it's disrespectful."

Li Kui laughed.

"But it's unfair, what do you mean?"

the fat man asked curiously.

"It's just that I invite you to dinner. It's a good idea."

As he said that, Xu Zhao brought out an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks. Looking at Xiaopang's appearance, he hated iron and steel, and said, "I asked you to drop out of junior high school, but you don't know what it means to be disrespectful. Read more books."

"Then just say yes, or not, it's so troublesome."

The fat man looked disapproving.

He went to the coffin and put a stick of incense on Xu Mengliang, and immediately wandered around the shop with his hands behind his hands, and he didn't forget to whisper a few words: "You have only graduated from high school, and you are still talking about me."

While speaking, the fat man happened to walk to the side of a coffin, and just between his lowered eyebrows, he saw a pair of dead eyes staring straight at him, and immediately screamed out of fright, staggered and fell to the ground.

This movement caused the two people who were eating to look over immediately.

Xu Zhao moved his cheeks and said vaguely, "Xu Yi, what are you doing?"

"Zhao, Brother Zhao, why is there an extra corpse here?"

Xu Yi stammered.

"Hey, what did I think?" Xu Zhao responded casually, "It's just right, Xiaoyi, you've been staying in the village, do you know her?"

"What? People from the village?"

Xu Yi was startled, and quickly turned over to look into the coffin.But seeing the pale and stiff face of the female corpse, especially the pair of unrepentant eyes was even more frightening, but he wondered: "She doesn't seem to be from the village!"

"What does it mean to be like, if it is, it is, if it is not, it is not, there is no such thing as likeness!"

Xu Zhao swallowed the bacon, frowning.

"I seem to have seen her at the entrance of the village a long time ago. It's been too long, and I can't remember."

Xu Yi scratched his scalp, thinking hard.

"It's been too long, why do you still have the impression?"

Xu Zhaoke was not so easy to be fooled, so he asked again.

"Because she looks white. There is no such white sister in the village. Of course I am deeply impressed."

Xu Yiyi spoke uprightly, and then said with a slightly awkward tone: "Although Bai is a bit abnormal now."

"..."

Xu Zhao immediately gave a blank look.

Followed by.

He seemed to realize the strangeness, but couldn't help frowning.

Although Xu Yi's words were ambiguous, the woman should have really appeared in Long'ao Village, and the body didn't look like she had been dead for a long time. What's going on?

Subconsciously, he looked at Li Kui.

Li Kui swiped his chopsticks, eating delicious food. After a while, he raised his head slightly and said softly, "Please run for a while."

"it is good!"

Xu Zhao glanced at the portrait.

The contents of yesterday's letter flowed from the bottom of my heart, and I immediately got up and said, "Xu Yi, come with me and let the big guys come and identify the corpse."

"what?"

Before Xu Yi could react, Xu Zhao dragged him out.

then.

Li Kui was the only one left in the shop.

"It seems that the young man has a sense of justice in his heart."

Yang Chao's voice came from the black umbrella placed aside.

"However, Old Li looks like..."

"Ok, I know."

Li Kui lowered his eyelids slightly and put down his chopsticks.He ate very clean, not a single grain of porridge or rice was left.

Then he got up and went straight to the side of the coffin, stretched out his hand and opened the sleeves of the female corpse, only to see several blue and black strangle marks appearing on the pale skin, so that the wrist bones were slightly deformed, which obviously could not be caused in a day or two.

He looks towards the door.

His eyes were cold.

……

……

After half an hour.

The coffin shop was crowded with people, and those at the door tiptoed to look inside.

Hearing that someone died, he seemed to be from the village, which made the villagers put down their work immediately and rushed here non-stop.

Xu Mengliang's prestige in Long'ao Village is very high, and because the coffin shop is now a mourning hall, the big guys dare not speak loudly, they just look over with curious eyes.

Who are they wondering who died?

Just a cursory look, everyone in the village seems to be here.
