Detective Files II

Chapter 108 Saw

"Being busy this early in the morning?" Hao Peng turned his head to look at Niu Fufu, then at Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong: "I thought you would wait for Brother Mo to come back. What is there to do in this remote place? Huh? I'm curious what you've been busy with these two days?"

In fact, Tian Mi was quite disgusted with Hao Peng's blunt way of speaking, but it was hard to show it, so she smiled and said half-truth to him: "If I tell you everything, how can I have any?" Professional mystery!"

I don't know if I didn't hear Tian Mi's subtext or just thought she was joking with him, Hao Peng grinned and laughed: "It makes sense! Mystery is the most attractive thing! Keep it up, police sister!"

"Yo? Did you call me sister?" Xiao Yiran bumped into Hao Peng at the side, winking his eyes pretending to be ambiguous: "You kid is weird! People say that you call me sister first, then me, and you come and go. ...what's going on?"

"Fuck you, don't mess around, I just hit it off with Tian Mi and we can chat!" Hao Peng jokingly joked with Xiao Yiran.

Of course Tian Mi was not in the mood to mingle with them, so she simply pretended not to hear, and followed Niu Fufu out of the main house with Lu Xiangdong.

When going back to the room to get the coat, Tian Mi was really taken aback by the old cow woman. She didn't expect someone to be in the room, so she pushed the door and walked in. As soon as she walked in, she saw a black shadow rubbing against the bed Jump up, thanks to the distance, otherwise Tian Mi would have to react instinctively and hurt the old cow woman.

"Aunt Niu, what are you doing?" Tian Mi was so frightened by the old cow woman's sudden heartbeat that her heart beat fast. After seeing the other party's identity, she went to the folding bed to get her coat while stroking her chest.

The old cow woman stood beside Qin Lijuan and Piran's bed, her face flushed, a little flustered, she grinned in embarrassment and said nothing.

Before Tian Mi put on her coat, she didn't hear the old cow woman speak, but she turned her head and took a look, and immediately understood.

On the old cow woman's reddened to purple face, there were still white marks that were not evenly applied, which looked like some kind of whitening cosmetics containing foundation ingredients.

"Aunt Niu, isn't this good?" She thought about what Piran had said to herself before, about Qin Lijuan's suspicion of the old cow woman when she lost something, and shook her head, expressing her disapproval of the old cow woman's behavior just now.

Although this does not prove that the old cow woman really stole her things as Qin Lijuan suspected, this behavior itself will only increase the suspicion.

"Well," the old cow woman rubbed her hands in embarrassment, looking at the ground for a while, and then quickly glanced at Tian Mi: "I'm just curious, nothing else. Really! I just look at those little girls. The faces are all white and thin, so I want to see if there is any difference in the things used by other college students..."

"Don't be like this in the future. If you are so curious, you should say hello to him first."

"It's not that you haven't seen that little girl's eyes and face every time she looks at people! I told her, she might hurt me in some way!" The old cow pouted, just about to show contempt When he thought about his behavior, his expression immediately became awkward again: "I said, Xiao Tianer, about this, can you..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell her." Tian Mi knew what she was worrying about, nodded, and told the old cow woman to be at ease: "But you'd better promise me not to do this again in the future."

"Okay! No problem! If I do this again, you will take me away as a thief!" The old cow woman nodded her head resolutely, and answered very simply.

I just don't know if it can be done.

Tian Mi didn't have time to deal with the old cow woman on this matter right now, so she put on her coat and walked over to pat the old cow woman: "Then let's go, Aunt Niu, we're going out with Village Chief Niu to do something, you go and accompany A few college students sit down."

"They won't talk to me when I go, what should I do!" The old cow woman didn't understand what Tian Mi meant.

Tian Mi had no choice but to speak clearly: "Then you can go and do other things. I'm going out. There's no one in this room. The melon field and Li Xia..."

"Ah, look at my brain!" The old cow woman finally understood, and slapped her thigh: "Hey, then I'll go and see how those young people are eating!"

"Slow down," the old cow woman was about to leave, but was held back by Tian Mi, who reached out and wiped the uneven makeup on her cheeks with the back of her hand: "It's done this time!"

The old cow woman grinned at Tianmi in embarrassment, and hurriedly left the room before her and went to the main house.

When Tian Mi came to the yard, Niu Fufu and Lu Xiangdong were already standing there waiting for her.

"Why so slow." Lu Xiangdong asked her.

Niu Fufu answered Tian Mi's question from the side. He looked at Lu Xiangdong and said, "This young man hasn't married yet, right? I don't think so. Otherwise, you wouldn't be asking this question. Women! It’s troublesome, even if you don’t put on makeup, if you want to ask her to go out, you have to take a long time, half a beat slower than men.”

"Sorry, I'm sorry, I was delayed for a while, so let's go!" Tian Mi didn't argue with Niu Fu, and greeted them with a smile, and walked in the front. Heizi, who was still chained to the side when passing by the middle of the yard, almost stumbled. It wasn't that the big dog wanted to attack her, the fact was on the contrary, Heizi was looking for her to act like a baby.

"This dog looks so fierce, why is it so clingy after getting acquainted?" After finally calming Heizi's emotions, Tian Mi patted the dust on his clothes, and was amazed at the contrast between Heizi's behavior when he first met him and after that. .

"It! It's a foodie!" Niu Fufu also had no choice but to shake his head when talking about his dog: "I heard people say that this breed of wolfdog is very fierce, so I thought about buying one to take care of the nursing home. , who knew that this guy would admit to eating after he grows up! No matter who it is, come here more often, give him something to eat, and immediately stop biting and wag his tail violently!"

Walking out of Niu Fufu's house, the three of them walked for a certain distance along the small road at the door. Niu Fufu stopped and asked cautiously: "You said that you want me to accompany you to find the murder weapon, but I don't know what you are looking for. What kind of murder weapon? I was at home just now, so I didn’t want to ask too much, I’m afraid I’ll tell those young people to listen.”

Unexpectedly, Niu Fufu was quite clever in this matter, and Tian Mi looked at the old village chief with admiration.

"What we are looking for is actually a saw." She told Niu Fu.

"Saw?" Niu Fu thought that what the police were looking for must be a knife or something, but he didn't expect that the opening of his mouth was far beyond his expectations: "You mean the kind used to pull wood?"

"Yes, that's the kind," Tian Mi felt helpless at his reaction and tone: "I know what a saw is."

Niu Fu laughed dryly. It seemed that he really thought that Tian Mi, a little girl from the city, had said the wrong name because she didn't know tools.

"Village Chief Niu, you should know the situation of the villagers in Yunding Village very well, right?" Tian Mi asked.

"Isn't that right! In our village, our ancestors have lived here for generations, not to mention people, I can count how many lice are in anyone's house for you!"

"Counting lice is such an interesting thing, let's not use it for the time being," Tian Mi was amused by his statement: "Then who in your village has a saw, do you know?"

After hearing this, Niu Fufu sized up Tian Mi with strange eyes, Tian Mi lost his mind when he saw it, and turned to look at Lu Xiangdong, who also had a smile that was not a smile.

"Did I say something wrong?" Tian Mi was a little unsure seeing that the two of them looked like this.

"There's nothing wrong with being wrong, it's just that you, a girl, have never stayed in the countryside!" Niu Fu waved his hand: "You know what kind of family in the countryside will make others feel that your life will be difficult. Is it gone?"

"I don't know, is the house particularly dilapidated?"

"No." Niu Fufu shook his head in a rare and serious way, and corrected Tian Mi's statement: "The quality of the house does not explain the problem. There are ways to live poorly when you are poor, and there are ways to live rich when you are rich. In our rural areas , if someone needs some tools at home and doesn’t have any tools, and some basic daily tools have to be borrowed from others, that will make people feel that your family can’t live on, so it’s so messy!”

"You mean, almost every household in Yunding Village has saws?" Tian Mi understood.

"That's what it means. That thing is too common, like a kitchen knife. Who doesn't have one or two! If you meet a carpenter at home, there will be more saws in the house. What kind of They have everything!" Niu Fu asked again, "Then what kind of saw are you looking for?"

In fact, Tian Mi couldn't tell what kind of saw it was. For comparison, Mo Dou only told her that the saw blades were not too big, and I believe they are not too big saw blades. In addition, considering the environmental problems of Yunding Village, large chainsaws can also be ruled out. A class of things that are bulky, expensive, and noisy.

According to the information relayed by Mo Dou, several possibilities can be ruled out, but even a young girl like Tian Mi, who doesn't know much about tools, understands that except for large saws, the types of saws that meet the requirements are still different. There are many.

However, what Niu Fufu said just now gave Tian Mi a very timely reminder, and instantly lit a light in her mind.

"By the way, Village Chief Niu, is there a carpenter in Yunding Village?" Tian Mi asked.

Niu Fufu was still waiting for her to answer what kind of saw he was looking for, but before he got the answer, he was asked another question, and he was taken aback before saying, "There really is a carpenter."

"Come on, let's go to the carpenter's house!"
