Detective Files II

Chapter 119 Emergencies
"Village Chief Niu," Lu Xiangdong called to Niu Fufu who was walking in front, "Apart from the seven college students including Li Weiming, are there any other outsiders who have been to Yunding Village recently?"

"No!" Niu Fu immediately replied without thinking: "There are not many strangers in our village all year round. If they come, how can we not know! We have seen them a long time ago! No! There are only seven of them."

"Are there any relatives and friends from other places in the village who come to visit?"

"No." Niu Fufu still shook his head: "If it's summer, occasionally there will be people who don't mind the journey, come here for two days, eat some farm food, this winter, it's freezing, nothing, nothing People want to come."

"If there is, will you know about it? You don't need to confirm it again?" Tian Mi felt that Niu Fufu's attitude was a bit rash after hearing his answer so firmly.

Niu Fufu narrowed his eyes, and waved his hand in the direction where the villagers live together: "It's not that I take myself too seriously, you can see for yourself, how many households we have here! We can't compare with those big villages here, and what What kind of brigade is it divided into? Niuwei Village existed long ago when everyone got together to live together. It has been so old for so many years, and there have been no major changes. Everyone knows everyone. If someone comes to relatives or strangers, Everyone knows about it, and besides, I'm also a village chief, so it's impossible for anyone who doesn't know that I don't know!"

Well, no wonder the reaction was so intense, it touched people's sensitive nerves!It insulted Niu Fu's pride and status as the village head.

Tian Mi didn't continue to ask, and stuck out her tongue quietly to the side.

"The old farmer who lived behind the slope, do you still have any memories of that young son?" Lu Xiangdong glanced at Tian Mi who was secretly making faces beside him, and then changed the subject and asked Niu Fu about another matter.

Niu Fufu's train of thought couldn't keep up with Lu Xiangdong's speed, he was stunned for a while before he said, "Maybe I can remember."

"Can you describe it?"

"It's been so many years..." Niu Fu touched his chin, and scratched the sparse stubble on his chin with his fingers: "At that time, the little boy in the old dealer was not very old, he was twelve or thirteen years old? It was about that! He was not tall. Too tall, like a little black potato, active, not at all like his wimpy dad! When not going to school, he used a slingshot to shoot birds everywhere in the village, or climbed trees to dig out eggs, and went into the water Fishing or something."

"If he comes back now, will you still recognize him?"

"It's hard to say," Niu Fu shook his head: "At first glance, I probably won't recognize it, unless the child has never changed in appearance, but I think that if I look carefully, I can almost recognize it."

"What about other people in the village? For example, the little friends who played with him back then."

Niu Fu was amused, half helpless and half ridiculous: "I missed a word just now, the little boy from the old farmer, although he is very good at work, has a very anxious personality and a big temper. It is probably because the family is being bullied by his father. My mother and sister are used to it. They always fight with other children in the village, and roll all over the floor when they can't say a word. In addition, they moved here later, so adults don't like to let their children fight with them. Come on, that kid is on his own most of the time."

"You mean, the young people in the village are unlikely to recognize the youngest son of the dealer?" Although Tian Mi didn't quite understand why Lu Xiangdong was suddenly so interested in the kid from the dealer back then, she also believed that he was always good at things. Doing meaningless things, I was very cooperative and asked: "What's the name of the child, you must remember this?"

"This... I really have to think about it... I remember that the names of the two children from the old Zhuang family seem to be quite similar, there is only one word difference..." Niu Fu scratched the back of his head: "What is the name of his girl... ..."

"Zhuang Jinyun." Lu Xiangdong answered the question for him.

Niu Fu looked at Lu Xiangdong in astonishment. He was a little surprised that he knew the answer to this question. He was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Yes, yes, it is Zhuang Jinyun! Her brother should be called Jin Yang! Zhuang Jinyang!"

Tian Mi memorized the name silently, and planned to ask Lu Xiangdong privately when she was free and convenient, but Tian Yang was also at the side with a dazed face, probably even if he didn't make time to ask, he would not be able to hold back Live to find out.

"Why do you suddenly ask about the two children of the old dealer? The boss of the dealer has been dead for so many years, and the second child doesn't know and hasn't heard from him for so many years. He doesn't even know whether he is dead or alive, what? Could it be that they and the dead Does it matter?" Niu Fu asked in surprise.

"Village Chief Niu, you don't need to inquire about it." Tian Yang put Niu Fufu on his shoulder and half pushed him forward: "I know this is the first time you have encountered an accident in the village, so you must be quite surprised. Yes, but don’t be so nervous, the police are human too, and it’s impossible for every word they say during the investigation to be related to the case, don’t you think? We are also curious, and occasionally gossip, that’s normal!”

The effect of his smoke bomb is still very obvious. Niu Fu looked at Tian Yang suspiciously, and couldn't tell anything from his smiling face. After thinking about it, he felt that what he said was more or less reasonable. No one is a robot. It is impossible not to gossip and chat with the whole grains, so I feel relieved and don't ask any more questions.

Seeing that he was about to reach Niu's house, Niu Fufu stopped again, turned around and looked at the three young men behind him with a serious face: "There is something I think I should tell you, but I'm afraid that if I say it, you will think I want to protect you." .”

"It's okay, if you have anything you want to tell us, just say it, we will consider it carefully." Tian Yang helped Niu Fu feel relieved.

"Although I am the head of this village, if there is a murderer in the village, I will definitely not cover it!" Niu Fu first stated his position, and then changed the subject: "However, I still think that the murderer in our village People don't know how to do this kind of thing, think about it, these seven students came suddenly, they didn't know anyone in the village, and they had no grudges, who would kill a stranger who didn't know each other! I also listened to those few A young man said, that Li Weiming doesn’t have much money, so it’s even more impossible for him to be from our village, and you have to look for it among those six people, don’t you think?”

"Don't worry about that, we won't pin the responsibility on the villagers just because the murder happened in Yunding Village, and the conviction must be based on evidence." Tian Mi can understand that Niu Fu, as the head of a village, protects the villagers. Psychology, but the investigation should be based on facts, and personal feelings are meaningless: "But you don't have to treat those six students like snakes and scorpions. They are not familiar with the environment in Yunding Village, so you can't make a conclusion too early."

"That's not necessarily the case! It's just that big, sturdy guy, what's his name?" Niu Fu patted himself on the head: "Oh, Hao Peng! This kid loves to inquire! Ever since he came here, he always asks if he has nothing to do. Asking here and there, what's going on in the village, whether it's relevant or not, he loves to inquire!"

"Okay, then we will pay attention to this matter, don't worry!" Tian Mi was a little helpless towards Niu Fufu's paranoia, and she didn't want to contradict him too much, so she could only answer consolingly.

When several people came home, the old cow woman was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen. When she saw Niu Fu came back, she immediately ran over angrily to complain.

"Those young people, it's only been a few days to serve them, and it's like before!" She said to Niu Fu angrily: "This one said he didn't want to eat, that one said he wanted to eat later at night, and there are two little girls who want to eat Send it to the room to eat! Tell me, the police finally arrived at the house, they are willing to eat on time, and now it’s like this again! How many servings do I have to make! Isn’t this a tossing!”

"Okay, okay! You don't have to do anything except cook every day, so stop nagging!" Niu Fufu was so upset that there were no homicides in the village, so he couldn't care less about the complaints of the old woman. , and went back to the house by himself with his hands behind his back.

The old cow woman was not happy about being choked up by her wife's few words, and she had nothing to do, so she snorted, twisted her body and went back to the kitchen.

"I'll go back to the room first, and I'll look for you two later!" Tian Mi greeted Tian Yang and Lu Xiangdong, and went back to the room.

The moment Tian Mi pushed open the door, she heard voices coming from inside the room, but when she walked in, the voices stopped abruptly. Miao Xiao and Qin Lijuan sat on the bed, neither of them spoke, silently staring at the person who had just entered the door. Tian Mi and Pilan were sitting alone on Tian Mi's folding bed, holding a horror story magazine in their hands, reading it quietly by themselves, when they heard the door knocking, they looked up at Tian Mi, then lowered their heads, and continued to read own magazine.

"Miao Xiao is here too!" Tian Mi saw that everyone was silent after she entered the door, so she took the initiative to open up the atmosphere: "I didn't bother you, did I?"

"If I say bother you, are you willing to leave?" Qin Lijuan asked Tian Mi with a gloomy face and very impolitely.

Tian Mi didn't expect her kind words to get such an answer, she was stunned for a moment, Miao Xiao pushed Qin Lijuan in embarrassment, but didn't say anything.

At this time, something unexpected happened. Pilan, who had been silent and even a little bit annoyed, suddenly stood up from the folding bed, threw the magazine in his hand towards Qin Lijuan, and slammed it heavily on Qin Lijuan.

"Ouch!" Qin Lijuan yelled out in pain, and after realizing what was going on, she couldn't help being angry, and waited for her round eyes to yell at Piran: "Piran, you are going to die! Are you ready?!"

"Shut up!" Pilan shouted at Qin Lijuan hoarsely with a livid face, clenched his fists with his hands at his sides, trembling slightly, stared at Qin Lijuan, and said through gritted teeth, "If you say another word, I promise to tear you apart." your mouth!"
