Lin Yingxue seemed to be very interested in this past incident, and I glanced at her and said, "I don't know what happened after that. In short, my father knew that my friend beat the child and almost beat me to death. Some time ago, I heard that the family moved away and the house was empty until now. This incident left a very deep impression on me. Whenever I recall the past alone, I can’t help but think about it. repent."
Although I don’t know if that child moved away because I didn’t stop Brother Dong and the others last time and was beaten up by Brother Dong and the others in front of so many people, but that’s what I’ve always thought in my heart. Later, my father also explained to me that he only knew the widow’s husband and helped take care of the two of them. He didn’t care if he was misunderstood by the people in the village. As long as he behaved upright, he would be free from those rumors Rumors will naturally dissipate with the passage of time.
Now I think of the scene at that time, surrounded by so many classmates watching the show, watching the child being beaten by Brother Dong and the others. The look in the child's eyes when he was leaving is something I will never forget in my life. In addition, he is from a poor family. No, I feel more and more that I am really nothing. If I could have known in advance that Brother Dong and the others would take action, I would have tried my best to prevent this from happening.
Lin Yingxue and I pushed open the door that was covered with dust and cobwebs and seemed to be about to collapse and walked in. We looked at the weeds and dust on the ground, as well as some small animals taking refuge, and said slowly: "That child is The suspicion of the murderer in this case is not very high, because only a few of our friends and family knew about the copper coins back then. This child would definitely not use this reason to kill people. What's more, after so many years, the village has also There is no news that the child is back. I hope he is safe. After all, this is the only thing I can do. "
The yard was full of weeds, and there were many wild cats and dogs looking at us unkindly. We did not stay any longer, turned around and left the room, and continued walking towards the west to prepare to go back.
As we walked along the road home, the sky gradually darkened, but strangely, I always felt that there seemed to be a gaze staring at me from the direction of the long-abandoned house at the east end of the village behind me. Looking back, I couldn't see clearly in the darkness whether anyone was really staring at me anymore. I wanted to go back and take a look, but when I saw it was getting dark, I didn't do that. I went straight back home to watch TV and chat with my family.
Time flies so fast, and it’s past ten o’clock in the blink of an eye. Today, because there is an extra little fat kid, the way I sleep has to change. Although there is a guest room at home for the little fat kid to live in, I want the fat little kid to sleep alone. I always felt a little uneasy, so I let Lin Yingxue sleep alone in my bedroom, while I went to sleep with Xiaopang. In this way, as long as Xiaopang was not alone, he would be safe. Even if he was the murderer, it would be the best. method.
When Lin Yingxue heard that I was going to sleep with Fatty, she was a little unhappy. At first I thought she was reluctant to let me go, but she quietly said to me: "This Fatty is very dangerous, and he is also one of the suspects." , and even if he is not dangerous, he is the murderer's next target. It is too dangerous for you to sleep with him, so let me go."
I looked at Lin Yingxue in surprise and asked, did you think about it when you said this? How would it be for you, a girl, to sleep with a strange man? Of course, this proposal was rejected by me on the spot, and Lin Yingxue seemed to realize her gaffe, so she pulled out the dagger she had given me in Heishan Village from her waist and handed it to me, saying, "Then you have to be careful. If something happens, call for help immediately and I will rush over."
Seeing how Lin Yingxue cared about me so much, I really thought she had fallen in love with me, but I was still curious, where did she get this dagger from? This question has always troubled me when I was in Heishan Village, but now that there are so many people, I can't ask too many questions. I nodded lightly and went to the guest room to rest with Xiaopang.
While I was in the bathroom, I called the team leader and asked him if he was still monitoring Xiaopang’s family. Although the team leader said he was not happy, he still followed my instructions. They kept complaining to me, saying that it was freezing cold, and that fights would break out at home every once in a while, which made them nervous and did not dare to relax at all. Naturally, I would not let them leave just like that. After all, tonight was the last night. It's a crucial night. If nothing happens tonight, then many things will be solved tomorrow.
After returning to the room, Xiaopang had already begun to snore. I thought to myself that this person is really big-hearted. So many things happened in the past two days, but he was still able to sleep. He lay on the bed and read a novel for a while. During this period, Lin Yingxue gave me I sent several WeChat messages to ask if I had any questions, and after chatting with me for a while, I felt a little sleepy, and before I knew it, I fell asleep completely.
I don’t know how long I slept for. Anyway, when I was woken up by the vibration of my phone, it was still dark. It gets late in the winter, so it should be at least around six o’clock now.
In a daze, I picked up my phone and looked at the caller ID. It was actually the squad leader calling me! The squad leader called me during this time, so I thought he must have made some major discovery.
"Hey, what's wrong?"
The team leader was silent for a moment, and then said: "Come here, leader, something happened."
Vaguely, I seemed to hear a woman's cry on the other end of the phone, which immediately pulled me out of my sleep! I immediately hung up the phone and woke up Xiaopang, got dressed and was about to go out.
As soon as we walked out of the guest room, Lin Yingxue had already put on her clothes and was waiting quietly next to me. It seemed like she didn't sleep much that night, otherwise she could hear the sound in my room so quietly and get up and wait.
"Don't wake up your parents and go to Fatty's house quickly."
Little Fatty didn’t know what happened, and he looked like he hadn’t woken up yet. We forcibly pulled him to his house quickly. From a distance, I saw that the lights in Little Fatty’s house were brightly lit, and there were already Hearing the cry of the little fat mother made my whole heart sink to the bottom of my heart.
When he heard his mother's cry, Xiaopang immediately spread his legs and rushed towards the house. Soon, I heard Xiaopang crying loudly, and I also understood what happened. I'm afraid Something has happened to Xiaopang’s father.
When I walked to the door of the yard, I saw the team leader standing at the door smoking with a depressed look. When he saw me coming, he didn't dare to look into my eyes and immediately lowered his head.
"What's going on?"
I asked the team leader in front of me seriously. At this time, I really wanted to strangle him on the spot and let him look at this. Something happened. What on earth was he doing this night
The team leader said with some frustration: "We have been carefully watching the movements in the room all night. Before ten o'clock, the couple had quarreled three times and had their hands on each other. We were afraid of alerting the enemy, so we did not go in. Later, they may have rested, and as soon as the lights were turned off, there was no movement. But just now, I suddenly heard the wailing voice of the hostess inside, and immediately rushed in with others, and saw the male host inside. Already hanged."
Seeing that the squad leader didn't seem to be lying, I asked again: "Are you sure you didn't hear any suspicious movements or appear any suspicious people?"
"Absolutely not! Our people monitored all the blind spots in the entire yard in several places. No one has ever entered, I swear!"
The team leader said swornly, and suddenly felt guilty: "Leader, I just went in and took a look at the deceased, and he also had the copper coin in his mouth. Do you think it was really the curse that caused the trouble?"
"Nonsense! If there is a curse, how many people will die every day on the earth? Call the forensic doctor immediately and let them release the monkey. Now it seems that the monkey is not the real culprit."
At this time, I was already in a state of confusion, but I still ordered the team leader to deal with the matter as soon as possible, and then Lin Yingxue and I walked towards the house ahead where there was crying.
Why did Xiaopang's father die this time, not Xiaopang? Could it be that the murderer changed his murder target at a critical moment? In other words, the murderer saw Xiaopang staying with me and couldn't do anything, so he chose Xiaopang's father to take his place? But I remember that on Xiaopang’s family’s calendar, the day marked with a red pen was today. Why did they mark today alone? And why did something happen to Xiaopang’s father today? Could it be that Xiaopang’s father knew in advance that today was the day he would die
All these doubts kept spinning back and forth in my brain, so that I didn’t even pay attention to the road ahead, and almost hit the wall. When I walked into the bedroom of Xiaopang’s house, I saw Xiaopang's mother and Xiaopang were lying on the ground crying. If the police hadn't stopped them, they would have taken down Xiaopang's father who was hanging from the beam.
I looked up at the chubby father and saw that he was still wearing the same black cotton jacket and cotton trousers that he wore during the day. He was very calmly hung by a rope around his neck from the beam. Perhaps it was because he had just died. His whole face turned purple-black, which looked very scary. At this time, in the slightly opened mouth of the little fat father, I also found an ancient copper coin lying quietly in his mouth.
Looking at the body of Little Fatty's father, I couldn't help but sigh, and I was ready to ask Little Fatty's mother what happened, but when I turned to look at Little Fatty's mother who was crying on the ground, I didn't know it was because of the light. It was too dark, maybe because I didn't sleep well. I seemed to vaguely see that at that moment, the little fat mother's face, which was covering her face and crying, showed an extremely weird smile!
