Chapter 359: Sure enough, there is a secret
The fact that Duan Ning went to live with Aunt Tian was itself quite strange.
For example, Lu Nanshen came to Meitang Village earlier than them. He was also alone, but was well arranged by Aunt Tian Guan and did not have to stay in any villager's house. The houses in the village were all old, and the one they lived in had been empty. Why couldn't they arrange for Duan Ning at that time?
Nian Baixiao roasted the fire for a while, and said thoughtfully, "Duan Ning happened to have an accident when Tian Dayu had an accident, but the people in the village didn't know that Tian Dayu was gone. People like Xu Yan and Xu's wife probably really didn't know about it."
Others agreed with him.
Then Nian Baixiao asked a crucial question, "Where is Tian Dayu's body?"
It must be in Meitang Village. It’s impossible that there is another fake son out there and then the body of the real son is left alone.
Lu Nan thought deeply, "Perhaps the rumors outside are not groundless."
Rumors outside?
Hang Si tilted his head to look at Lu Nanshen, "Funeral ceremony in Meitang Village?"
Lu Nan nodded deeply.
"We can't possibly go looking for Tian Dayu's grave, can we?" After Fang Sheng said this, he thought of the mountain village in the horror movie, with graves everywhere. Not to mention people being among them, just thinking about it made him feel creepy.
Lu Nan frowned in thought, "I'm afraid I won't be able to find the grave even if I want to."
Fang Sheng was stunned when he heard this, and blurted out, "What do you mean..."
Chen Yezhou understood Lu Nanshen's hesitation. "The more closed the village is, the more traditional their funeral ceremonies are. They all believe in returning to their roots, so generally people are buried after death. Meitang Village is surrounded by mountains, so conditions permit, but we can't see a single grave at the foot of the mountain as far as we can see. This is very strange."
Hang Si didn't want to believe the bizarre and strange rumors out there, so she said, "Could it be in the mountains? They all have the surname Tian, so there should be a large group of ancestral graves, so they can't be exposed in the open."
This possibility is not without.
But Chen Yezhou is experienced in handling cases and is well-informed. He said, "I have also come into contact with some old villages before. Those whose ancestral graves are far away will basically set up tablets at home. Those with better conditions will have ancestral halls where ancestral tablets are placed. Meitang Village is a place that attaches great importance to tradition. It follows the old rituals and is isolated from the world. It would not be without tablets and ancestral halls."
Everyone was deep in thought.
For a while, the main house was very quiet, with only the slight crackling of the fire in their ears. The aroma of roasted sweet potatoes and the heat of the hot pot made the winter night warm, and also made them unable to get impatient even if their thoughts had reached a dead end. They just followed the snowflakes outside the window and slowly sorted out the chaos in their minds.
Nian Baixiao suddenly remembered something and took out his cell phone from his pocket, "Listen to it."
There is a video on my phone, which shows an old plum tree. When the wind blows, the snow on the flower buds falls off. The video is nearly two minutes long, and it was shot towards the plum tree, but it didn't find the right angle, so the video was crooked and there was no dubbing or subtitles.
Others would not understand what this video means, and might even think that Nian Baixiao is just being idle. However, when Lu Nanshen opened the video, he heard the rustling sound of snow falling in the wind. He looked up at Nian Baixiao and asked, "Was this filmed at Aunt Tian's house?"
Nian Baixiao nodded.
Lu Nanshen didn't say anything else and just let the video play. No one else could hear any sound in the video, not even Hang Si. Only he was listening attentively.
His expression was calm while he was listening, until the last ten seconds, when his brows slightly furrowed, showing a bit of solemnity.
Nian Baixiao knew something was wrong and said hurriedly, "Is my recording not in vain?" Lu Nanshen nodded, "It's a very important clue."
The others looked on anxiously, especially Chen Yezhou, who took Nian Baixiao's phone and looked at it for a long time but didn't catch any movement, so he asked them what was going on.
Nian Baixiao told them about his and Fang Sheng's visit to Auntie Tian's house. Just when they were about to leave, Wu Lao came to their house. Wu Lao was very polite to them. After a few pleasantries, he repeatedly emphasized to them that they must not go out during the two days of the annual sacrifice. He said earnestly that this was a major event in Meitang Village and they must respect it.
Of course Nian Baixiao agreed repeatedly.
"Old Wu deliberately avoided us. It was obvious that he had something shameful to do." He concluded firmly, "I stayed behind to take pictures of the plum blossoms at the door, but I couldn't take pictures for too long."
While he was recording the video, Mr. Wu looked outside through the window, and only stopped when he saw him taking pictures of plum blossoms.
"Did Mr. Wu say anything to Aunt Tian?" Hang Si asked softly.
It seems that Aunt Tian’s house is indeed the breakthrough point for Lu Nanshen’s hearing ability.
The firelight shone into his pupils, making his eyes unusually bright. "There was nothing much in the beginning of the video, just Elder Wu greeting Auntie Tian, but at the end of the video they mentioned us."
Lu Nanshen frowned when he heard the last part. He just heard Auntie Tian and Wu Lao saying, "Will the Questioning of Heaven go smoothly tomorrow night?" I think they seem to know something. What if they destroy the Questioning of Heaven and make Dayu uneasy?
I heard from Wu Lao that with Aunt Tian Guan watching, they wouldn't have a chance to get close to the scene. No matter what, we will take precautions.
Chen Yezhou slapped his thigh after hearing this, "It's obvious, they are indeed hiding a secret."
"The word 'not at peace' is also very clear." Hang Si grasped the key point, "So, at least Wu Lao and Aunt Tian knew that Duan Ning was impersonating Tian Dayu, and they condoned it."
Lu Nan nodded deeply.
Nian Baixiao sneered, "I thought Aunt Tian Guan was a nice person, but I didn't expect she was a stalker."
"And it's not just Aunt Tian Guan." Fang Sheng curled his lips.
These things were nothing to Chen Yezhou. As a person with a background in criminal investigation, it was easy for him to find out how many people were following him. The difficulty lay in how to escape under other people's noses.
Lu Nanshen was silent for a long time, then he said, "It's impossible to carry out a coordinated operation. Tomorrow you guys will provide cover, and I will personally monitor the Tianwen site."
"No." Everyone else said in unison, especially Hang Si, with a serious expression.
Lu Nanshen smiled and told them to relax. Hang Si was quite determined, "If you go, I will go too. It's too dangerous for you to go alone."
Nian Baixiao objected, "Then I should go with you. The girls should stay."
Chen Yezhou's attitude was even tougher. He planned to go alone and asked them to stay to disturb others. Lu Nanshen said, "I am the best at sneaking people under our noses. Can they be as good as gossip reporters?"
The important thing is, if there is no magnetic field interference at the scene where Tian Wen asked, then Lu Nanshen would be the most suitable person to go there. He said to Chen Yezhou, "We need you here, don't forget, you still have to take care of your men, Nian Baixiao can help."
It is not convenient to release flares. This is the conclusion they came to after entering Meitang Village. The people here are too closed, and releasing flares will cause great alert, so Chen Yezhou used the most traditional marking method. In this way, whether his men can successfully enter Meitang Village depends on luck.
