Chapter 1327 Everyone insists on their own opinions
"She lay in the crack of the door and saw, under the light of the fire, many monsters rushing into the village and killing everyone they saw, whether they were adults or children."
"A monster kicked open the door of her house and wanted to eat her. As a result, her mother hugged her and ran away from the back door." The boy continued, "But from now on, no matter where they escaped, the monster would eventually
Chase them in the dark. They won't be able to stay in any place for long."
He Lingchuan asked: "What do those monsters look like?"
"They have strange shapes and will glow brightly under the flames. Many of them have horns on their heads, and the horns look different. They can make sharp laughter, roaring sounds, and even talk."
"Why are the monsters chasing them?"
"I also asked, and Xiao An said she wanted to know too. They had been running away for a long time and were very tired." The boy peeled off a candy and ate it. "She also said that her father was very fierce and scary. Animals and people saw him.
They would scream in fear. Sometimes, he would cut them into pieces without mercy."
"I don't believe it. Xiao An said that he used to live in the mountains and lived in a big house."
Chen's wife interrupted: "You kill people and cut up animals. You sound like a butcher! That crazy woman said that her second husband was a salesman. How could a salesman do this? The little girl is dishonest and lies to scare my son."
The boy also said: "We scolded her for being as crazy as her mother. She said she was telling the truth, and then ran back to the thatched cottage to find her crazy mother."
The truth? But there is a discrepancy between Xiao An’s account and the past events her mother told when she was sober. Which version is correct?
"It's not surprising that a crazy woman gave birth to a little lunatic." Chen's wife looked at Yinzi eagerly, "What else do you want to ask, gentlemen?"
"Besides Chenjiazhuang, where was their last stop?"
"I don't know." Chen's wife asked her son to go back to the house.
Dong Rui turned the money on the table: "How do you know that Chen Fuang went to have an affair with her?"
"On the third day after that little slut came to Chenjiazhuang, Sister-in-law Wu saw Chen Fu'ang sneaking out of the shabby thatched hut while fastening his belt!" Chen's wife gritted her teeth, "I scolded him, but he denied it and said he was playing tricks on a crazy woman.
It's those cousins, he just watches from the side."
"Did the mother and daughter leave anything behind?"
"I don't know, at least I don't have one here."
After asking all the questions, He Lingchuan nodded, stood up, left the money and left.
After leaving the house, Old Man Chen asked him: "Have you said hello to me, sir?"
"No, take me to Sister-in-law Wu."
On the way to Aunt Wu's house, He Lingchuan also heard a few words from other villagers' homes. Most of them were chatting about trivial things at home, and occasionally they were quarreling, stumbling, and beating and scolding children.
There is also a pair of brothers who are scolding Green Villa for monopolizing the lumber business in nearby counties.
"What are you afraid of? We in Chenjiazhuang are not easy to bully."
"Last time a batch of wood came out of Zhuangzi, and the newly opened coffin shop in Baishui Town came to buy it, and the price was good. As a result, within three days, the Wuma family came over and had a long discussion with the clan leader."
Hearing the name "Green Villa", He Lingchuan's heart moved, but he did not stop and continued to move forward.
Aunt Wu's house is much larger than Chen Fuang's house, and it doesn't have that unpleasant musty smell. It can be seen that the family is better off, and it did not suffer any damage in the previous monster attack. All the furniture is still there.
Sister-in-law Wu is thin and skinny. She looks to be in her fifties, but is actually in her early thirties. She is recognized as a good person in Chenjiazhuang.
Chen's wife had just said that Sister-in-law Wu's temperament was like pouring beans out of a bamboo tube, and she was quick to do things and speak. But when He Lingchuan found her, and mentioned the word "crazy woman", Sister-in-law Wu's eyes wandered a little: "I'll just give it to her." After delivering meals twice, she was confused and we didn't talk much."
He Lingchuan suddenly said: "Have you talked to her daughter Xiaoan?"
"No, no."
He Lingchuan glanced at Lieutenant Li, who immediately said: "But Chen Fuang's wife has seen it and said that you gave her two bowls of sweet potato water."
Sister-in-law Wu opened her mouth to argue, but Lieutenant Li's face was stern: "If you dare to give false testimony and delay the case, I will ask you to go back to the county and serve a month in jail!"
His words sounded illogical to Dong Rui, but Mrs. Wu was so frightened that she trembled all over and subconsciously glanced out the window.
"It's useless to look at anyone." Li County Lieutenant is not good at anything else, but he is very clear about the psychology of the villagers and knows how to scare people most effectively. "This case must be handled by Liu County! Think about it, this involves a hundred people." This is a major case involving multiple lives. Even you, Patriarch Chen, cannot bear the responsibility. How dare you, a prostitute, take the responsibility? Do you really not want your life?"
Sister-in-law Wu was about to speak but stopped.
Li County Lieutenant saw that there was something going on and kept up his efforts: "If you refuse to recruit me truthfully, you will be arrested immediately as an accomplice who is hiding clues! Once the key criminal in a major case like this is arrested, he will first take off his pants and beat him when he returns to the county. The 30 major boards and P shares have all been smashed by you, and this is just a show of force. Your family can’t visit and deliver medicine, and the case is only halfway through, so you will probably die in jail!”
Sister-in-law Wu clenched and opened her hands, going back and forth several times. She even walked to the door and looked twice before whispering: "Let me tell you first, this matter has nothing to do with me."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, just say it." Lieutenant Li turned around and comforted her, "If you tell the truth honestly, then nothing will happen."
Sister-in-law Wu couldn't sit down either, so she stood and said, "The convoy brought back the mother and daughter from outside. Chen Fu'ang and his brothers went to the clan leader to intercede and let the crazy woman Ah Hui take care of the cowshed. In fact, they wanted her to have sex. How pretty. When I went to deliver food to Ah Hui, I saw these men coming out of the thatched hut. Anyway, she was already half crazy and she was from outside. The people in Chenjiazhuang didn't bother to care about it, so they felt free to be bold..."
He Lingchuan interjected: "There are five of them in total, right?"
"Ah, yes."
"Chen Fuang's wife said that the mother and daughter also disappeared inexplicably the night the monster attacked Chenjiazhuang."
Sister-in-law Wu rubbed her palms on her trouser legs several times with a hesitant look on her face.
County Lieutenant Li was unhappy: "What time has it been? Why don't you hurry up and make a move?"
"Actually, I don't know when they disappeared." Sister-in-law Wu whispered, "I went to deliver food at noon that day, but I heard Ah Hui shouting in the thatched hut, 'If you dare to sell my daughter, I will follow you. Fight,' and then there was a burst of banging sounds, and the voices of Chen Fuang and others, 'Hold her down, she will go crazy even more'. I was too embarrassed to listen anymore, so I went home."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "When I went back in the afternoon, the thatched cottage was actually locked. I looked through the crack in the door and saw that it was empty and no one was there anymore."
He Lingchuan said at the right time: "Where is her daughter?"
Sister-in-law Wu shook her head: "I don't know. I asked Chen Fu'ang what happened, and he said Ah Hui ran away with his daughter. I wanted to ask a few more questions, but Chen Fu'ang was very impatient and called me a talkative woman and drove me away.
out."
He Lingchuan nodded: "Tell me about that girl Xiao An."
"Ah Hui's daughter is also a bit weird. She is too talkative and can't play with the other children. The children all laugh at her as a crazy child born to a crazy woman." Sister-in-law Wu thought for a while, "Xiao An kept telling me,
She wants to go home, but her mother doesn't want to. Mother and daughter often quarrel over this matter."
He Lingchuan raised the suspicion: "Xiao An said that her home is in Xingyun Village; but her mother said that they are from Maodun?"
"That's right." Sister-in-law Wu said immediately, "I also felt strange. Then I thought about it, is her mother from Maodun and married to Xingyun Village?"
"Do you know these two places?"
"I've never heard of it." She had never left within a fifty-mile radius of Chenjiazhuang in her life.
The last question: "Did the mother and daughter leave anything behind?"
Sister-in-law Wu’s head shook like a wave drum: “Nothing!”
After the questioning, He Lingchuan stood up and was about to leave, but Aunt Wu remembered something: "Yes, yes, there is another weird thing: Xiao An mentioned to me that her father is very scary."
"Her father?" He had just heard it from Chen's wife, but Lieutenant Li didn't take it seriously, "Are you talking about Ah Hui's dead husband?"
"I thought so too, but Xiao An said that she lived with her father for a while and ran away a while ago."
A while ago, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui looked at each other, and Li County Lieutenant asked: "Ah Hui's second husband died not long ago. Did Xiao An think that she escaped?"
The child does not know what "death" is. Seeing that his father no longer appears and his mother takes him away, he may think that he has escaped.
"I don't know either."
He Lingchuan suddenly asked: "What kind of terrible method does her father have?"
"She discovered privately that her father would lock animals and people in stone houses or cages and make them scream in pain. Xiao An heard that kind of scream more than once, and every time she wanted to cover her ears," Aunt Wu said.
, "It sounds like her father is a butcher. She also told me that his father always locked them in a cave. There are two big stones at the door of the cave, one is very white, and the other is..."
She tried to remember for a long time: "Oh, it's red!"
"Very good." He Lingchuan encouraged her, "Is there anything else?"
"Oh, yes, I remembered it." Aunt Wu added, "Xiao An said that her father could help her drive away monsters, even if it was only for a short time. Her father was also very good to her. If it weren't for her wanting to go home so much, she would probably
I will always stay with my father."
"Father"? He Lingchuan pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "Thank you Aunt Wu, you are fine."
After the questioning, Aunt Wu let out a long sigh of relief and everyone left the room.
At night, the lights in Chenjiazhuang were only sparsely lit. He Lingchuan passed by a house and could sense someone peeking through the crack in the door.
This Zhuangzi is not friendly to them either.
Lieutenant Li County also entered the state: "Where to go to the next place?"
"Thatched cottage."
If there are any clues, they may be hidden in the thatched cottage where the mother and daughter lived for many days.
While walking in the village, Dong Rui suddenly remembered something and took out a small bagpipe and played it hard.
There was no flute sound, he seemed to be performing a mime.
But just twenty breaths later, the nearby trees rustled and something jumped over:
