Everyone knew that Chen Aiyang was probably in serious danger, and the wooden house was burned to a pile of ashes.

Chen Ergou pretended to shout, but a villager next to him said bitterly: "Stop shouting. If Chen Aiyang were alive, we wouldn't have to search for such a big fire. Wouldn't he cherish his only property?"

"There is only one possibility now, and that is that Chen Aiyang was in the wooden house when the fire broke out and was burned to death together."

Everyone sighed for a while.

Because Chen Dahu was also among the people fighting the fire, there were some things that it was not convenient for others to say.

It's just that this speculation is like weeds, sprouting and growing in the hearts of other villagers.

This fire is probably not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.

Just when everyone was thinking, a buffalo suddenly rushed out from the darkness around the wooden house. It looked at Chen Dahu in the crowd and rushed over. With lightning speed, it put its horns on Chen Dahu's waist and picked Chen Dahu out four or five times. meters high.

A miserable cry filled the air.

"what."

Before Chen Dahu landed, the buffalo did not stop and continued to rush forward. Unexpectedly, the force of the push was not well controlled. Chen Dahu's body flew over the hillside and landed on the [-]-degree slope next to it.

Finally, it rolled down the slope, and Chen Dahu's screams kept coming from below.

Everyone at the scene suddenly started shouting.

Someone shouted: "It's over, this cow is crazy, why is it going to top people?"

Someone also shouted: "Come down there and see if Chen Dahu is okay."

The people at the scene suddenly dispersed.

Only an old buffalo was left standing on the slope, panting heavily with red eyes.

Around 11 o'clock at night, Chenjiadun became lively again. The horns of ambulances and police cars were honking. Villagers who had been enjoying the cold at home once again gathered in front of the Chen brothers' house.

Chen Dahu's waist ribs were directly pierced by the horns, and the blood flowed out like it was free. Several people used the door panels to quickly put Chen Dahu into the ambulance, and watched the ambulance disappear into the night amid a beep beep sound. .

While the crowd was panicking, Chen Ergou found an excuse to go home and make a phone call. He hid in his bedroom alone and called his son who was working far away in the town.

Chen Ergou's son is called Chen Sanyang. He works in the Zheng W compound in the town. He is a chef who is responsible for cooking for the leaders.

Chen Ergou urged on the phone: "Do you know? Something big happened in the village?"

"What could happen?"

"Now you go to several hotels in the town overnight to look for people. Find two young people, a man and a woman, who have returned from Hong Kong Island. See if they are in the town. When you find them, you will say that Chen Aiyang in the village has been raped. Burn them to death, tell them to come back quickly, and don’t say anything else.”

"What if they're not in town?"

"Then you go to the county. There are only a few three-star hotels in the county. They are rich people and they will definitely not stay in those small hotels. You go there at dawn tomorrow. Before you go, ask the leader for leave. This Things are important.”

Chen Sanyang had gone to bed long ago, and he immediately complained when he was woken up by the phone. This was obviously a hard job.

"Dad, I have to make breakfast for the leader tomorrow morning."

Chen Ergou scolded: "What the hell, do you know? Chen Aiyang was probably killed by someone. The two young men I asked you to find are the descendants of Chen Jianguo. Do you think they will take revenge? As long as they will If the Chen brothers are involved or killed, I can also take over the coal mine in the neighboring village. Then you will still be the chef?"

"Don't know your priorities, just do what I say."

Chen Sanyang's breathing became rapid as expected, "Will those two young people do what we say?"

Chen Ergou laughed on the phone and said, "Then it depends on your father's ability."

“What if the county seat can’t be found?”

"Just go and look for him over at Hehuadang. Chen Jianguo's apprentice asked me about the Liu family before, and he seems to be very interested in Chumaxian. People in the city have never seen these things, and he is a young man. He definitely wants to get to the bottom of it. I I guess they will definitely go to Hehuadang to have a look."

"Dad, that place at Lotus Dang is very dangerous. Do you want me to go?"

"Idiot, I asked you to find someone, but I didn't ask you to go down there to fish? Wouldn't you stay further down there?"

"Now go to the town to find someone, and then go to the county tomorrow morning. This matter must be done well."

Chen Ergou hung up the phone in anger.

Chapter 255

The sky was slightly bright, and there were a few people standing vaguely on the hillside at the end of Chenjiadun Village.

The first person burst into tears. This person was Chen Ai'e. Next to her was a serious-looking middle-aged man, Chen Ai'e's husband Cai Biandan.

A native of Caijiawan, a neighboring village.

Cai Biandan's original name was Cai Zhangcheng. He was named because his father's surname was Cai and his mother's surname was Zhang. Rural people were not very educated, so a name that included both parents' surnames felt very meaningful.

Chen Ai'e and Cai Zhangcheng are mainly engaged in farming. They have a child who is at primary school age and is not financially well-off. Cai Biandan usually carries a load and walks around the streets doing small businesses, such as selling scissors, kitchen knives, shampoo in small bags, etc. Braiding long hair and the like.

Hence the nickname.

In recent years, Cai Biandan has changed from a gun to a gun. Instead of driving Route 11, he switched to a bicycle.

Jilin Province has obvious differences in landforms.

The terrain slopes from southeast to northwest, showing the characteristics of being high in the southeast and low in the northwest.

Bounded by the Daheishan Mountains in the central part, it can be divided into two major landforms: the eastern mountains and the central and western plains.The eastern mountainous area is divided into mid-mountain low mountainous areas and low mountainous hilly areas in the Changbai Mountains. The central and western plains are divided into the central platform plain area and the western meadow, lake, wetland, and sandy area. It spans the Tumen River, Yalu River, Liaohe River, Suifen River, and Songhua River. Water system.

Among the three northeastern provinces, Liao Province is close to the Bohai Bay, has an outlet to the sea, and has the richest economy. Black Province is located in the northernmost part. Although the weather is cold, it has the second largest black soil in the world and is fertile.

It can also engage in cross-border trade and tourism with Damao.

Only Ji Province has the lowest sense of existence and is caught in the middle.

In fact, the main reason for the low sense of existence is still one word - poverty.

In addition to farming, ordinary people can only make a living by working in coal mines. This is why they do not prohibit coal mines even though they know there are safety hazards and environmental pollution.

The surrounding private coal mine is located near Chenjiadun, within the jurisdiction of Caijiawan. The contractor boss this time is from Caijiawan, specifically Caijiawan Shuji's brother-in-law.

Why doesn't Cai Biandan go to work in the coal mine?

It's not that he doesn't want to, but that others don't want him, mainly because the Chen brothers don't want him, because he is Chen Ai'e's husband, and Chen Ai'e is from the old Chen family.

"Little Goose, stop crying."

Cai Biandan looked around cautiously. Behind him stood several county police officers who were investigating at the scene. These police officers had interviewed two people just now.

Chen Ai'e said with tears in her eyes: "Third uncle must have been killed by someone. I came to see him yesterday. He was fine at the time and showed no signs of illness. Why did he disappear overnight?"

Cai Biandan didn't want to cause trouble, and hoped that big things would be reduced to trivial matters. He liked to think of the bright side in everything. He whispered: "There is no electricity on the hillside. It is only illuminated by candles and kerosene lamps. With the strong wind, maybe there was a fire?"

Chen Ai'e rolled her eyes at him painfully, and retorted firmly: "Even if there is a fire, the third uncle's legs and feet are fine and he doesn't know how to run out?"

"When will the soldier come back?"

"I don't know. I just called him in the morning. I'll wait for the soldier to come back later. Don't say that our third uncle was killed by someone, just that he accidentally caught fire."

Chen Ai'e is worried that Chen Aibing has an impatient personality and will soon admit death and go to the Chen brothers to fight for his life. Then it will be Chen Aibing who suffers.

The voice and smile of Chen Aiyang when she taught Chen Aibing yesterday are still in front of her. Chen Ai'e is a standard rural woman and doesn't know much about the principles, but she still believes in Chen Aiyang's words.

She made a bold guess: Could it be that Chen Aiyang angered the Chen brothers and their family that night, and received secret revenge from them?

If this was the case, she would not dare to speak out, especially because she did not want Chen Aibing to know.

Chen Ai'e couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.

A few meters away from them, several police officers accompanied two forensic personnel to investigate and collect evidence. Chen Ergou was also among the crowd.

Su Hao's old acquaintance Captain Jiang was also there.

The first people who came over last night were from the town police station and the county emergency department. Captain Jiang didn't know the news until the morning. Before arriving, he had already sent people to the county hospital to find Chen Dahu to collect evidence. The premise was that the operation went well and he could wake up in time. come over.

This time I came to Chenjiadun to investigate two things.

Chen Aiyang's death and Chen Dahu's injury.

The former is full of doubts. It would be best if Chen Aiyang accidentally caught fire and was burned to death, so that the case could be closed directly.

If he was killed by someone, the fun would be great. Murder plus arson would be an absolutely major case.

Captain Jiang is very familiar with this old case of Chen Jiadun decades ago.

On the way here, the first thing he thought of was homicide. If it was homicide, then the Chen brothers would be the most suspect. Then he learned that Chen Dahu was hit in the ribs by a buffalo and had a hole. He was now being rescued at the county hospital. Can he survive? It’s still unknown.

Then I learned that Chen Xiaohu went to the coal mine overnight after dinner last night. Judging from the timing of the villagers discovering the fire, there was a gap of 2-3 hours between Chen Xiaohu leaving home and discovering the fire.

Ordinarily, Chen Xiaohu had no time to commit the crime.

But Captain Jiang is an old criminal policeman after all. He just feels that there seems to be some relationship or causal connection between Chen Xiaohu's temporary departure, Chen Dahu's accidental injury and the fire.

It's just that no concrete evidence has been obtained yet.

The evidence can be found slowly.

Compared with Chen Aiyang's death, Chen Dahu's accidental injury seemed a bit strange and bizarre. He was actually hit by a buffalo. There were so many people on the hillside who came to put out the fire. Why did an old buffalo have trouble with Chen Dahu?

Is there some hidden secret in this?

Could it be that this old buffalo kept in captivity by Chen Aiyang learned that the relationship between the Chen brothers and their master was not good, and deliberately looked for an opportunity to take revenge?

Or maybe the old buffalo secretly glimpsed some secrets that no one else knew, and went crazy this time to avenge Chen Aiyang?

Captain Jiang thought of a proverb circulating in the countryside - a dog can survive for eight years and a chicken can survive for six years.

This is an old folk saying, which means that the chickens, dogs, and livestock raised at home cannot last too long, because once they are allowed to survive in human society for too long, they will gradually understand human nature, and they will surely become masters sooner or later. Demon, do some evil things that endanger and harm the world.

This sentence sounds nonsense at first, too absurd and bizarre.

But this is Ji Province, one of the three eastern provinces, and there has been a tradition of sending horses and immortals since ancient times.

Captain Jiang rubbed his forehead and his expression became extremely cautious.

Whether it is a strange case or man-made revenge, there will definitely be clues left behind, and these cannot be hidden from anyone.

At present, it seems that the two cases can be investigated into one.

Chen Ai'e's attitude, which he had just inquired about, seemed a bit complicated. She hoped that her third uncle's death was an accident, but she also hoped that the Public Security Bureau could investigate the specific cause of death or the truth.

"Where's that old buffalo? Have any of you seen it?"

Captain Jiang asked Chen Ergou next to him.

Someone from their team had already interviewed the people who participated in the fire fighting last night, and he had read the confessions. It was basically certain that Chen Dahu was gored by the horns of the old buffalo.

As the old secretary, Chen Ergou has been staying with them. From last night to now, he slept for a few hours. His expression looked a little tired, and the fatigue was mixed with a hint of inexplicable excitement.

Chen Ergou replied with a clear mind: "Last night everyone was in a panic and ran downhill without noticing where the cows had gone. This morning I walked around specifically and didn't see any buffaloes. There are probably no traces of him running into the mountains."

It would be difficult to find the buffalo if you went into the mountains. Even if you find the buffalo, can you still ask questions?

Chen Ergou observed Captain Jiang's face while replying.

On the other side, several forensic doctors who used instruments to collect evidence at the scene returned to Captain Jiang. The inside of the plastic bucket was dark. These were the burning ashes extracted on the spot and were to be taken back for analysis.

One is to see if there are ingredients such as kerosene or diesel in it, and the other is to see if there are crystals left after the human body has been burned.

As we all know, the human body has many small bones (such as finger bones, toe bones or tiny bones in the ear canal). A small number of bones are burned and recrystallized to produce 'relics' with a crystalline appearance.

The test results are critical to the characterization and detection of this fire case.

Captain Jiang previously learned from Chen Ai'e that Chen Aiyang had no hobbies in his life and did not smoke or drink. How could he be burned alive after the house caught fire?

The normal situation should be to run out after the fire. Even if you die, you should die in the yard or outside the yard, instead of being burned alive in the bedroom without saying a word.

Captain Jiang glanced at the dark pile of ashes in the plastic bucket and signaled the forensic doctors to go back first. There were a few fewer people left at the scene on the hillside.

Chen Ergou is always by Captain Jiang's side.

The latter lit up a cigarette and took a puff. A flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind. He thought of his colleague Su Hao. Everything that happened to Chen Jiadun in the past few days started after Su Hao came back.

Is there any connection between this?

By the way, the purpose of Su Hao's return was to return Chen Jianguo's urn for burial.

Of course, Su Hao had no motive for committing the crime. Captain Jiang just felt that the timing of Su Hao's return was too sensitive. He suddenly asked Chen Ergou: "Old secretary, is Chen Jianguo's tomb buried in the ancestral tomb in Chenjiadun?"

Chen Ergou seemed to have been waiting for Captain Jiang to ask this question. He quickly turned his body to one side and pointed forward: "I happen to know this. I am responsible for entertaining those two young people. Chen Jianguo's grave is not in the ancestral grave in Chenjiadun." Over there, but on the hillside.”

"I'll take you to see it."

Chen Ergou led the way, and soon he came to the mound where Chen Jianguo was buried.

Captain Jiang knelt down and touched the sand beside the mound. He glanced at the incense sticks on the ground and circled the mound twice. He could tell that this was Chen Jianguo's grave.

As for other clues, none have been found yet.
