Before Yang Xiaobao could speak, he asked again: "Do you know anything? You knocked on our door this afternoon, are you?"
"It's us." Yang Xiaobao said, "we wanted to stay here at that time."
"Does my father's death have something to do with you?" The middle-aged man, who was forty, stared at Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma with fierce eyes.
Cao Deyong hurriedly said, "Haitao, don't talk nonsense, they have nothing to do with this matter."
"Village Chief, my father died for no reason, and they suddenly appeared in our village today. Who are they?"
Yang Xiaobao sighed and said, "When did your father die?"
The middle-aged man in his forties was stunned for a moment and said, "At around eleven o'clock, I heard my father get up to go to the bathroom."
"At that time, they were still sleeping at my house and wouldn't have appeared in your yard at all."
Yang Xiaobao looked at the man named Haitao and said, "Then how did you know it was past eleven o'clock?"
"I'm playing with my phone in the quilt." Haitao said.
"Then have you heard anything?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
"Two screams." Cao Haitao said.
Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma looked at each other.
It seems that the scream I heard just now should be made by Cao Haitao's father.
"What's next?"
"When I come out, my father is already lying in the yard." Cao Haitao said.
Yang Xiaobao frowned.
He took a step forward.
Cao Haitao immediately reached out to stop him.
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to check the body of the deceased, is that OK?" Yang Xiaobao asked.
"Why? Who are you? What are you doing?"
It is certainly doubtful that strangers like them who rashly ask to examine the dead body.
"I have to prove our innocence, right?" Yang Xiaobao said with a wry smile.
"My father has no wounds."
Cao Haitao said this, but he still gave up a way and asked Yang Xiaobao to check it out.
As Cao Haitao said, there were no wounds or traces of bleeding on his father's body.
"Do your father have heart disease?"
"No." Cao Haitao said, "I have lived with me in the city in the past two years. I have checked the physical examination activities in the community, and there are no major problems."
Yang Xiaobao nodded.
"You said, does this matter have anything to do with you?" Cao Haitao asked again.
Lao Ma said with his neck stammering, "What do you mean by saying this? How does this have something to do with us?"
"Hmph, huh, you suddenly entered our village and even talked to my father. It has nothing to do with you, who believes it?"
At this time, Cao Deyong stood up: "Haitao, this matter should have nothing to do with them, I can guarantee it."
"Village Chief, do you trust them so much?"
At this moment, another sound came from the yard.
"Haitao, what's wrong? What's wrong?"
Then they heard a mess of footsteps.
Then they saw two people walking in from the yard.
When they saw the dead man lying in the room, both of them took a breath.
"Haitao, what's going on, what's going on, uncle?"
A man who was about the same age as Cao Haitao asked in surprise.
Another person in his thirties was dressed up quickly and said, "Yes, I saw him this morning, wouldn't it be fine?"
As soon as they spoke, a smell of alcohol came out.
"Oh..." Cao Haitao sighed long, not knowing what to say.
Cao Deyong asked, "Forward, Changsheng, why are you here?"
The man in his forties with messy hair said, "Changsheng and I were drinking at home, and I heard someone shouting, come out to see what happened, who knows?"
"What are they?" The man who was in his thirties and dressed up quickly and was supposed to be Changsheng, pointed at Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma and asked.
"They came to our place to climb the mountain. If they had no place to live, they lived in my house." Cao Deyong said.
"oh……"
Both of them looked at Yang Xiaobao and Lao Ma suspiciously.
"Brother Xiaobao, Brother Lao Ma, you have nothing to do here, you can go back." Cao Deyong said to the two of them.
Yang Xiaobao knew that staying here at this time would be a little ignorant of the times.
He winked at Lao Ma.
Lao Ma knew what Yang Xiaobao meant, nodded and followed Yang Xiaobao out of the room.
When he arrived outside the yard, Lao Ma asked, "Xiaobao, have you discovered anything?"
"It was killed by a ghost." Yang Xiaobao said.
"How did you see it?" Lao Ma asked in surprise.
Yang Xiaobao sighed and said, "I guessed."
As the two of them walked back, they heard footsteps coming from behind.
"Brother Xiaobao, brother Laoma, wait a minute."
Both of them heard that it was Cao Deyong's voice, and they both stopped.
Cao Deyong rushed up and asked, "Two brothers, what do you think about this matter today?"
"Village Chief, what do you mean?" Yang Xiaobao did not answer his words positively, but asked back.
Cao Deyong smiled and said, "Two, if I'm not mistaken, you probably didn't come here to climb the mountain, right?"
"What do you think we are not here to climb the mountain? What are we doing if we are not climbing the mountain?"
"Haha, you probably came to find someone, right?"
Yang Xiaobao smiled and said, "Village Chief, how do you see that we are here to find someone?"
"Haha, no matter what, I have been the village chief before and have been outside for so many years. Your every move cannot escape my eyes."
Yang Xiaobao nodded: "Yes, you're right, we're here to find someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"An old man named Shi Ran, there may be others." Yang Xiaobao replied honestly.
Cao Deyong was silent for a while and nodded: "I understand."
Then he said, "There have never been these people in our village."
"Village Chief, how do you know that there have never been these people in the village?" Lao Ma asked.
"Because after I came back, I had never seen any outsiders."
Yang Xiaobao asked back, "What if they entered the village quietly? What if they were hiding somewhere now?"
Cao Deyong became silent after Yang Xiaobao asked this.
"What are you looking for him?" Cao Deyong asked, "Is Haitao's father's death related to you or the person you are looking for?"
Yang Xiaobao was silent for a while and said, "We can't answer you with certainty, but I have a question to ask you, village chief, have you also discovered that your village is different from before?"
After Yang Xiaobao asked this, the village chief Cao Deyong stopped talking.
After a long time, he nodded and said, "You are right. Since I returned to the village, I feel that the village is different from before."
"What's different?" Lao Ma asked immediately. This chapter has been completed!
