Mysterious country

Not only did he know the procedure he usually used to show his work permit, but he also knew what he wanted to find out when he approached the village chief. His style of conduct, including his way of thinking, seemed to be the same as him.

This also made him feel that maybe there really was another version of himself in this world, but this time they happened to meet him.

"Tell me about the village secretary's son and how he died."

Xia Qi suppressed this doubt for the time being and planned to ask Li You about the son of the village secretary first.

"Brother Sui's character is unparalleled. He has been working as the village secretary for twenty years. He has been able to deal with big and small matters in the village regardless of the situation. The development of Xiangfeng Township to what it is now owes a lot to Brother Sui.

But maybe he was too good, or maybe God thought what he did was not good enough, so he gave him a disobedient and unfulfilled son. "

When Li You said this, he probably felt that everyone was already dead. It was too unethical for him to chew the tongues of dead people here, so he looked at Xia Qi with some difficulty and said to him:

"I feel like it's not good for me to say this. After all, old brother Sui treats me well. No matter how good his son Xiaoshu is, he doesn't treat me anymore now."

"Don't put too much burden on yourself. Be realistic. If there is something you say, don't make it up. Even if you don't say it, someone will always say it. But I am looking for you.

In addition, I have connections in the province. If you need it in the future, I will help you. "

Xia Xia Qi deliberately drew a cake for Li You. Li You was really moved after hearing this, but he still found someone at the bottom of the steps and said:

"Hey, I'm not asking for any favors from you. I just feel that it's not good for me to do this. But if you cooperate with the work, I can't tolerate my refusal."

Xia Qi wanted to laugh in his heart when he heard it, but he didn't expose Li You, but he didn't say anything.

Li You took a sip of herbal tea at this time and continued what he was talking about before:

"This child, Xiaoshu, was doted on by Brother Sui and his sister-in-law when he was a child. At that time, the village was in the process of reconstruction. There were too many things to consider and someone needed to carry the burden.

Old Brother Sui was the one who carried the burden and led the people in the village to change Xiangfeng Township little by little. Basically, he went out before dawn during the day and came back in the middle of the night. He spent a lot of time with his sister-in-law and children. limited.

Therefore, there is always a feeling of indebtedness to the children. As for the sister-in-law, she is essentially a person who likes to spoil children and has no temper.

So starting from the age of six or seven, Xiaoshu started to bully the children of the same age in the village, and then always moved out of the old Sui family. When this happened to her sister-in-law, she didn't think anything of it. Instead, she thought her son was very smart and didn't believe that her son would bully other children.

In this way, one of the two people had no time to care, and the other didn't care at all. More than ten years later, after entering adolescence, Xiaoshu became more rebellious and lawless.

Burning down other villagers' houses, taking people to the town to rob money, molesting the girls in the village, getting into fights... the people in the village tolerated Xiaoshu again and again because of old brother Sui.

Old Brother Sui later realized that Xiaoshu was a bit too lawless, but he refused to listen at all. He stopped studying before finishing junior high school. He wandered around the village or went to the town to fool around every day. I didn't go home for a week or two.

Either he was beaten up in town or someone was beaten up, and old Brother Sui had to wipe his butt. I have known about it no less than 20 times over the years, not to mention there are many things I don't know. "

What Li You said was quite interesting, but Xia Qi was not interested in a dead person's past, so he interrupted directly and said:

"Just tell me how people die?"

"It's really hard to say, because some say he hanged himself, some say he was frightened to death. Anyway, it's all possible."

Li You is also not sure about the cause of Sui Shu's death.

"I heard old brother Sui mention it, saying that Xiaoshu died very strangely. It seemed that he was frightened to death before hanging himself. And before he died, he had been working in the town. At that time, everyone in the village thought Xiaoshu is a prodigal son who has turned back, but a few days ago he suddenly returned home in a nervous manner, and then locked himself in the house. No one else said anything and wouldn't open the door. Later, Brother Sui opened the door and found that he had hanged himself."

"Did you die before you hanged yourself?"

Xia Xia Qi asked Li You again uncertainly.

"This is what Old Brother Sui said. I'm not sure if I heard it correctly. After all, it's scary to think about it. How can a person hang himself from the beam after he's dead?"

"Has anything happened to any other family in the village recently?"

Xia Xia Qi didn't ask about Sui Shu anymore, but asked other villagers.

"No, Xiangfeng Township has always been peaceful. If anything happens, it's just old men and old ladies who have reached the age to leave. A situation like Xiaoshu's premature death has not happened in the past ten years."

"Okay, let's understand this first today. I will live in the village for a few days. I will come to see you if anything happens."

Xia Qi felt that this was all he could ask, so he didn't want to stay with Li You any longer.

But on the other hand, Li You didn't want Xia Qi to leave. Instead, he invited Xia Qi very sincerely:

"You can only stay at Wang Laosan's small hotel in the village. If that doesn't work, you can stay here. Later, my wife and I will go to my son's house. The young couple is going on a trip, so you can stay in our house."

"That's so troublesome. The key is, I have to go out soon. I don't know what time I will be back."

Xia Qi did not agree to Li You, nor did he reject him. In fact, his original plan was to live in the village secretary's house.

"It's okay. Anyway, the village is very peaceful. We don't lock the door at night. You can come back at any time. We will keep the house for you."

Li You was very enthusiastic about letting Xia Xia Qi stay with him temporarily. Seeing that the other party said so, Xia Xia Qi couldn't shirk anything anymore and had to thank him for agreeing.

As soon as he came out of Li You's house, Xia Qi received a call from Wang Sangyu. He couldn't help but feel a bad feeling in his heart. After answering, he asked:

"What happened?"

"Well, one person died." Wang Sangyu didn't dare to hide it and said matter-of-factly.

"How did you die? How long have you been dead?"

"It took about 10 minutes. It's still unclear how he died because we searched the hotel but couldn't find the man's body.

The person who knows the most about this matter is An Guo. He is right next to me. I will ask him to tell you now. "

"Senior, I'm sorry, I let you down..." Zhao Anguo started to pretend to be pitiful as soon as he came up. How could Xia Qi have the heart to listen to what he said was useless, and said coldly:

"Say important things."

"Okay, that kid ran out to use the bathroom and was sneaking behind the hotel door. He went out after I found him. I was lazy at the time and thought that a grown man would come back soon after peeing, so there was nothing wrong with it. She stared at him and sat on the wooden chair next to the service desk to wait for him, and then he never came back.

It wasn't until I dialed his communication number and it showed that there was no such number that I knew he was dead. "
