Chapter 539: Not the Murderer but Holding the Murderer's Script
Wang Tiezhu is a hunter who lives alone. He is twenty this year and lives halfway up the mountain behind Guihua Village.
Because my family does not farm, my usual schedule is to go hunting in the mountains every morning and return home in the evening. When there are prey, I eat the prey. When there is no prey, I just pull some wild vegetables from the road.
In short, I will definitely not be in the Air Force!
And this was also the reason why Xu Shuo felt so hungry.
After all, Wang Tiezhu hadn't eaten all day.
Hunting in the mountains was a lot of exercise, so he only had a hotcake to fill his stomach at noon.
Unfortunately, today's harvest was not very good. Wang Tiezhu went all the way and only caught one hare. He was so hungry that he went home and cooked a pot of chowder.
Xu Shuo didn't know if previous players had eaten this hodgepodge, but he didn't want to eat it anyway.
At this time, after hearing Xu Shuo's inquiry, the young man who was drinking his third bowl of porridge said awkwardly:
"Some people said that they saw the murderer escaping through the window of Lao Li's house. Looking at the back, he was a strong young man with a weapon in his hand. You are the only one in our village who often goes hunting, so you must be strong... and that
The knife is also like the hatchet you used."
There is a hatchet hanging on the wall of the kitchen.
It was still stained with some grass juice and sawdust. Wang Tiezhu didn't have many tools at home, so he used this knife to clear the way when he went into the mountains.
The young man glanced at the knife, and then said: "Then you must not have done this now. You were cooking just now, and this knife is normal. You definitely don't have time to kill people!"
But this logic is too perfunctory.
Xu Shuo said calmly: "My family is not the only one in the village who has this kind of hatchet, and I am not the only one who is strong and healthy."
Therefore, everyone just wanted to find a scapegoat and end the matter quickly.
Or perhaps, because he felt that Wang Tiezhu was alone and weak, he simply poured all the dirty water on him.
The villagers had a perfunctory and evasive attitude towards this murder.
The young man actually knew it well. He only ran up to see if Tie Zhu was at home after being ordered by the village chief. At this time, he didn't know what to say, so he just laughed and continued to drink porridge.
Although the scene is a bit embarrassing, I still have to continue drinking the porridge with meat.
At this moment, a few footsteps sounded again outside the yard.
The leader was an old man of about seventy years old, wearing gray clothes. Although he was very old, his mental condition seemed to be quite good, and his eyes that were covered by turbidity occasionally flashed with light.
There were two middle-aged men following him, helping the old man into the yard.
"Tie Zhu is cooking at home."
When he saw the people in the kitchen, a kind and kind smile appeared on the old man's wrinkled face.
When the young man saw the old man, he hurriedly shouted: "Village chief, you are here!"
Xu Shuo looked at the village chief's steps, then nodded and said: "Not long after I came back, I just cooked two pots of porridge. Village chief, do you want to drink porridge? There is half a rabbit meat in it."
The village chief sat down on the bench at the door of the kitchen, waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm not here to eat."
However, Xu Shuo had already packed a bowl of chowder porridge with rabbit meat for him, walked over and handed it to him, and said with sincerity in his eyes: "This is the fresh rabbit I shot today, village chief, please try it."
When the young man saw this, he quickly helped: "Yes, yes, village chief, this rabbit meat is so tender!"
village head:"……"
The village chief tried to push it back twice, but when he saw that he couldn't push it away, he took the bowl and took a sip.
Then his expression became slightly stiff.
Gudong.
Under the expectant gazes of the two young people, the village chief swallowed the porridge with a kind smile.
He calmly put down the bowl and said with a smile: "This meat is quite delicious. Hey, Ergou, please go back first. I want to talk to Tie Zhu about something serious."
Although the young man named Ergou still wanted to continue drinking porridge, he could only reluctantly put down the bowl, lowered his head and quickly left the yard.
The village chief then waved to the two accompanying people: "You go and guard outside, I'll talk to Tie Zhu alone."
The two middle-aged men backed away without any objection.
Xu Shuo silently observed the relationship between them, and then turned his attention to the village chief.
The village chief smiled warmly: "Your porridge seems tasteless. If you don't have enough salt at home, you can go to my house to get some. I still have a lot of it."
The village chief had a smile on his face and felt mmp in his heart.
Is there anyone who grabs an old man and tosses him like this? Is this guy deliberately testing him?
Hearing this, Xu Shuo raised his hand and scratched his hair with an honest look: "Yes, I don't have enough salt at home, but it's not good to always take your salt. I'll give you the remaining half of the rabbit."
.”
The village chief's face was full of kindness: "No, no, no, how can I take your child's things? When I see you, I feel like I'm seeing my grandson. Just keep the things I gave you and keep them!"
Xu Shuo's face was full of gratitude: "That's just right, I don't have much rice at home, the sweet potatoes are gone, and there are still few vegetables."
The village chief was stunned: "..."
Then Xu Shuo expertly changed the subject: "Village chief, what do you want to say to me?"
Just tease this little cutie a little bit.
The village chief suddenly reacted and said seriously: "Tie Zhu, do you know that someone died at the foot of the mountain today?"
Xu Shuo nodded: "Er Gou just came over to talk."
The village chief continued: "Then you know, the villagers said you were the one who killed the person, and they wanted to carry you out to take the blame. But I blocked them and asked Ergou to come up first to see if you were there."
Xu Shuo nodded again: "What then?"
Village Chief: "I know the murderer is definitely not you. They just didn't want to cause trouble to find the murderer, so they just pushed you out. But only by finding the real murderer can you be completely cleared of suspicion."
Xu Shuo looked at him with some surprise, surprised by his outspokenness and why he trusted Wang Tiezhu so much.
If he hadn't known that Wang Tiezhu was from a branch of the Wang family, he would have thought he was the village chief's grandson.
more importantly--
At present, he has guessed that the village chief is the player.
So the village chief came so hard to find him to blame the murderer. Could it be that the other party's mission was related to the murderer?
Xu Shuo thought about it and felt like he had caught something.
He suddenly wondered: "But I was not at the scene and I don't know what happened at the scene. How can I find the murderer?"
The village chief looked outside the yard: "I guess the murderer will not only commit the murder once. Then we only need to catch him on the spot, and the two uncles outside will also help you."
Xu Shuo nodded: "So, do you already know the common characteristics of the deceased?"
The village chief was stunned: "I don't know yet."
Xu Shuo nodded again when he heard this - then what are you talking about?
What he says is clear and logical, but actually if you ask carefully, it doesn't have any connotation. It's just nonsense and pursuit of evil.
However, Xu Shuo breathed a sigh of relief and pulled himself out of the murderer's whirlpool.
If Wang Tiezhu is really the murderer, and the main mission of the player in front of him is indeed to chase the murderer, then he should not be so sure that Wang Tiezhu has no suspicion at all.
