Director Zhou drove the old police car to Xinxiu Village.

Shen Zhou looked at the BMW across from the police station and said with a smile,"You have quite a lot of BMWs here."

Director Zhou smiled awkwardly. Could it be that this guy saw him get off the car?

He said,"In the past two years, the nearby villages have started to engage in tourism and farmhouses. The development is not bad, and everyone's life is better."

"What's going on with Xinxiu Village?" Si Miaomiao suddenly asked."I think only their two mountains are not open to the public?"

Director Zhou sighed."They are quite conservative, but the higher-ups have sent people to negotiate with them. I guess in two years these mountains will be able to develop tourism...."

Shen Zhou and Si Miaomiao looked at each other.

All along the way, Director Zhou had been giving Shen Zhou and Si Miaomiao psychological support, saying that this village is very xenophobic and that they should not mind offending the leaders.

However, the two did not expect that there were people guarding the entrance to the village and that the police station’s cars were not allowed in.

The three people looked very unhappy after getting off the car.

Director Zhou looked at the two middle-aged men who blocked the road,"Huang Da, Huang Er, what’s wrong with you? The leaders from above are here to do business." The middle-aged man holding the carrying pole was obviously not afraid of Director Zhou,"It is the rule of our village that outsiders cannot enter casually. What’s the matter?"

Shen Zhou’s face was slightly cold. What was the difference between this and the old way of occupying the mountain as king?

He glanced at the two middle-aged men and said,"We are here to investigate the death of Huang Ming's family. We need to see your village chief."

The two middle-aged men probably saw that they were young and looked very impatient."No, what is there to investigate? Isn't it just that the whole family died?"

Si Miaomiao said coldly,"We can arrest you directly for obstructing justice."

The shorter Huang Er immediately frowned when he heard it."Hey, you policemen should not wrongly accuse people. You bully us because we have no education, right?"

Director Zhou hurriedly came up to smooth things over."You go find the village chief. These are all leaders from the city!"

After saying that, he winked at the two men.

The two men were still obviously dissatisfied. At this time, a man in his thirties or forties walked out from not far behind them.

""Oh, Director Zhou, you're here!" The man walked forward with a smile.

Hearing the man's voice, the expressions of the two middle-aged men eased a little and turned around and called out,"Village Chief."

Shen Zhou didn't expect their village chief to be so young.

Looking at the village chief who was staring at them with a smile in front of him, Shen Zhou didn't feel at ease.

The village chief Huang's eyes stayed on Si Miaomiao and Shen Zhou for a while,"Who are these two?"

Director Zhou hurriedly introduced,"These two are leaders from Jianghai, mainly to understand the case of Huang Ming's family."

When hearing about Huang Ming's case, Village Chief Huang showed an appropriate expression of regret on his face,"We just heard about this yesterday."

If they hadn't remembered what Sister Meng said about how indifferent the attitudes of the people in this village were, Shen Zhou and Si Miaomiao might have believed the expression on the village chief's face.

Si Miaomiao's face was full of impatience,"Are you the village chief? We have something to ask, can we go in and talk?"

Village Chief Huang looked at her and saw that her face was full of impatience. He glanced at Director Zhou again and said,"Okay, you two have come all the way here, come to my house and sit down." The two men guarding the village gate didn't say anything this time.

Director Zhou's expression eased a little, and he said to Shen Zhou and the others with a smile,"Let's go, leaders."

Si Miaomiao followed first, still looking impatient.

Shen Zhou persuaded in a low voice,"Leaders, we can leave after you ask questions."

The eyes of the village chief Huang in front flashed when he heard this. He didn't expect Jiang Hai to send someone here, and he was so young.

If nothing happened in the next two days, he might not have let these two people in. Now he just hopes that they can leave after asking questions quickly.

This village is not the same as they imagined. They thought it would be relatively backward. After all, Huang Zhong joked that the"Peach Blossom Spring" was self-sufficient.

But Shen Zhou, who was walking on the cement road, found that it was actually no different from an ordinary village. There were two or three-story self-built houses. Some houses even had a small yard in front of the door, raising some poultry.

However, Shen Zhou found that every household here had someone at home. When they saw Shen Zhou and the others passing by, many people looked at them from the window or directly in the yard.

Village Chief Huang smiled as if he knew what they were looking at and said,"Are you two curious about our village, hahaha? Many people make our village sound too magical."

Village Chief Huang stopped in front of a three-story self-built building with a small courtyard and pushed the door open.

A middle-aged woman in the yard was feeding chickens. When she heard the door open, she looked over and was stunned to see Village Chief Huang coming with people,"Why did you bring people in?"

Village Chief Huang smiled and said,"Leaders from the city, go make some tea."

Shen Zhou did not miss the surprise and vigilance on the middle-aged woman's face.

But when she heard what Village Chief Huang said, she quickly lowered her head and went into the house.

Village Chief Huang smiled apologetically at them,"My family is a rough man and doesn't know any manners."

Shen Zhou smiled,"It's okay, we are just here for routine questioning and will leave after asking."

Village Chief Huang took them into the house, and the woman quickly made a pot of tea. After pouring the tea, she glanced at Si Miaomiao and went out.

Si Miaomiao played the image of a person who was forced to work overtime to the core,"Tell me, why did you call Huang Xiuli half a month ago?"

There was no foreshadowing at all.

Village Chief Huang, who was drinking tea, paused,"Ah? I didn't look for Huang Xiuli?"

"It's like this," Shen Zhou smiled,"We checked the call records here and found that a call was made from your house to Huang Xiuli about half a month ago, so I came to ask."

Village Chief Huang was silent for a moment,"That might be my wife who called. She and Huang Xiuli are cousins."

As he said that, he shouted to the outside of the door,"Ahua, come in."

The woman named Ahua quickly walked in, wiping her hands,"What's wrong?"

""Did you call Huang Xiuli half a month ago?" asked Village Chief Huang.

Ah Hua was silent for a while, then secretly looked up at Shen Zhou and the others,"What's wrong?"

"What did you tell her over the phone?"Si Miaomiao asked directly

"What can we talk about? It's just chatting."Ahua licked his lips and said,"Just a normal chat."

"You have a good relationship with Huang Xiuli?" Shen Zhou asked

"It's OK. I lived in her house for a while when I was a kid." Ah Hua rubbed his clothes.

"Did you know that Huang Ming would beat Huang Xiuli?" Si Miaomiao frowned and asked

"I know, there are many cases of men beating women, and there are many in our village...."Ah Hua's voice was a little low,"I have nothing to do with her death. I just made a phone call."

Shen Zhou looked at the woman in front of him with a gleam in her eyes. She was lying.

The death of Huang Xiuli's family was indeed not simple.
