At the entrance of Hongchang Hutong, Jin Erzi and Huang Tian were already waiting for Li Guolou in the tea shop. After the two sides exchanged a few words, Li Guolou went home to pick up his luggage. All his subordinates already knew about Li Guolou's affair.
When Jin Erzi saw Chen Xiangfang, he hurriedly called out: "Sister-in-law!"
Li Guolou said anxiously: "Er Jin, please stop yelling and call me Miss Chen."
Chen Xiangfang said softly: "Jin Erzi, it doesn't matter, any name is fine."
Li Guolou shook his head and ran away. Everyone here looked familiar. If you make such a joke, don't hang out here again.
When Li Guolou returned to the yard, he did not dare to close the door, fearing that others would misunderstand that he and Chen Xiangfang were having sex in the room. He had a leather box and a rattan box. He had been independent since he was a child, and he was very familiar with packing his luggage.
Chen Xiangfang saw that Li Guolou had to bring so many things with him after two days out, and said dissatisfiedly: "Xiaolou, you are too picky. You, a big man, just lie down and sleep wherever you go."
Li Guolou argued: "I don't ask for anything, Xiaofang, I will buy you a complete set from now on."
Chen Xiangfang shook her head and said: "Xiaolou, the more I look at you, the more you look like my little husband. No wonder you don't have a girlfriend yet."
Li Guolou was packing his luggage and said: "Xiaofang, there are so many people saying this, I've long been used to it. I have many other famous names that I can rely on."
The more Chen Xiangfang looked at Li Guolou, the more she felt that he was cute and playful. He was never angry and could get along well with everyone around him. Love filled her heart and she folded a few clothes neatly.
Li Guolou took Western ink and a quill pen. Chen Xiangfang looked awkward and asked, "Xiaolou, why don't you use a quill pen."
Li Guolou said: "I want to take notes at night. The quill pen is fast for writing and suitable for carrying with me."
Chen Xiangfang sighed: "Today I am your mother-in-law. What are you thinking in your mind, Xiaolou? Why are you different from others?"
Li Guolou looked at Chen Xiangfang and said, "That's why I'm suitable to be a detective, as I can analyze problems most thoroughly."
After the two boxes were packed, Li Guolou held them in his hand and said, "Xiaofang, I'm leaving."
Chen Xiangfang put on the black scarf for Li Guolou. The two of them could smell each other's breath and stared at each other silently, with thousands of knots in their hearts.
Chen Xiangfang said softly: "It's windy outside the city. Don't catch a cold. Come to me first when you come back. Only a fool like you is willing to investigate this kind of unsolved case."
Li Guolou felt warm in his heart and nodded slightly: "Don't worry, I just went to see the scene of the crime. This kind of case cannot be solved. Either he was abducted or he was dead. But when I saw the bloody handprint, I couldn't help but think
By seeking justice, maybe I can find the living girl. Tell Lingling and I will bring the gift box to her."
Chen Xiangfang took a box from Li Guolou. They each carried a box and walked out of the yard, making everyone look at them. It really looked like a family going on a long trip together. Qian Shui, who greeted him in the yard, was determined.
Determined to flatter Chen Xiangfang from now on.
The biting north wind could not extinguish the fire in Li Guolou's heart. He waved goodbye to Chen Xiangfang, hoping that next time he goes on a business trip, he would have such a beautiful parting scene.
The roads in the capital are all straight, well-maintained, flat and solid. The carriages go west and out of the city gate. The fields are desolate and desolate. In the early winter, there are only a few pedestrians. When people on the road see the carriages passing by, there are always people who wave and want a free ride.
.The last woman with a child in her arms gave her an advantage.
While chatting with Huang Tian, Li Guolou learned some things about Huang Village, including the family of the missing girl. Huang Tian's family was already their second family. A year ago, there was a little girl who disappeared. As for why no arrests were made.
The case that Huang Tianshi solved was identified by Huang Kaohao, the village leader of Huangcun. This was because after the incident, Huang Kaohao wanted to bribe her with fifty taels of silver.
Li Guolou was thinking in his heart, either Muramasa Huang Kaohao was a kind person and wanted to help the helpless widow Huang Tian, and did the wrong thing at the wrong time, causing Huang Tian to misunderstand. Or Huang Kaohao really did it.
The little girl Huang Yinyin sold it to
He was a human trafficker, and he felt ashamed to return the money he got to the Huang Tian family, but the possibility was too small. There is another reasonable explanation. Muramasa Huang Kaohao took a fancy to the widow Huang Tian family, and wanted to help the Huang Tian family when they were in danger.
she.
Li Guolou glanced at Huang Tian for a few times. She was dressed like a country girl. She was less than forty years old, with a dark complexion and fine tail lines at the corners of her eyes. She still had the appearance of a village girl, but as for that? A
A large village with nearly a thousand people would take a fancy to this kind of village girl.
Li Guolou never thought that others thought of him the same way, and that he was attracted to a young widow with an oil bottle.
The woman with the child in her arms was named Liu and lived in Gucun, which is next to Huangcun. Liu recognized the Huangtian family because the case had become a hot topic here. Jin Erzi had experience as a police officer and started chatting with Liu.
After chatting for a while, Jin Erzi asked: "Ms. Liu, is there anyone missing in your village?"
A five-year-old boy was already being held in Li Guolou's hands, and the two were playing the jigsaw puzzle together. This is Li Guolou's favorite toy since he was a child, and he always carries it with him when he goes out. This time it happened to be
Can be put to use.
Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Huang Tian and sighed: "It's okay where we are. This kind of thing has never happened."
Several people started playing with the children and were not very interested in talking about the case.
After a while, Mrs. Liu suddenly said: "Captain Jin, I remembered that there was a rape and murder case in our village two years ago. A little girl was raped and murdered. The case has not been solved yet."
Li Guolou asked anxiously: "Are there any suspects?"
Mrs. Liu said angrily: "It must have been done by the second leper in our village, but he refused to admit it. He was beaten forty times and refused to admit it. Anyway, he was imprisoned for half a year and was released. Now everyone in our village is
I’m leaving it open to the two leprechauns.”
"Oh!" Li Guolou said, "I will visit your village when I have time."
Mrs. Liu looked up and down at Li Guolou's weird dress and asked suspiciously, "Who are you?"
Jin Erzi said anxiously: "Ms. Liu, this is my chief. He has been abroad, so his dress is a little different from ours."
Ms. Liu looked at Li Guolou carefully again and put her face close to Li Guolou's, which made the second son Jin laugh.
Ms. Liu sighed: "Oh! They are really different from us, a bit like Japanese devils."
Li Guolou said angrily: "Ms. Liu, what do you think of me? Am I that short?"
This time Huang Tian also laughed out loud. The sadness will eventually pass, and there will be laughter while you are alive.
Li Guolou gave the jigsaw puzzle to the child. On the side road, Mrs. Liu held the child and said goodbye to Li Guolou. She was getting closer and closer to Huangcun. It was almost dusk. There were a few farmhouses around, and some children came to see them.
The people on the carriage had not yet reached the village, but there were already a group of children surrounding the carriage.
Li Guolou asked: "Huang Tianshi, why are they following us?"
Huang Tian smiled, stroked the hair on his forehead, and said, "Captain Li, they want to ask you for candy. You look like you are rich, so they want to get rewarded."
Li Guolou understood that when he came to the village, he had to pay for traveling expenses, which was just a few cents of candy money.
Li Guolou raised his head, and Jin Erzi understood the idea and took out a handful of copper coins and threw them on the roadside.
"Oh..." More than a dozen children all jumped over at once to pick up the copper coins that fell on the ground.
The carriage was traveling through the East Village entrance of Huangcun. Farmhouses were scattered on both sides of the road, and a small river was clearly visible flowing by the roadside. Li Guolou jumped off the carriage and looked at the crowds around him. It was a harmonious place, filled with smoke.
, the smell of the food made Li Guolou feel hungry.
Huang Tian led Li Guolou and Jin Erzi to the home of Baozheng and Huang Bing first. Baozheng was the official who maintained public security in the village. The accommodation for Li Guolou and Jin Erzi at night should be arranged by Baozheng and Huang Bing. It was not suitable for these two grown men to live there.
The Huangtian family's house, besides, the Huangtian family's house is a bit rundown and not suitable for officials to live in.
There is a village office in the village, which is where the village office is located. There is also a place for the chiefs who come to the village to inspect and handle affairs. But this is not the best place to stay in Huangcun. The best house is the big house that the village leader Huang has passed the examination.
Huang Bing asked Li Guolou if he had any taboos? Where would he live?
Li Guolou glanced at the Huang Tian family next to him and said: "Huang Baozheng, we are here to stay as guests. You can arrange all the food and lodging for the night. Now let's go take a look at Huang Tian's home and the crime scene first.
We’ll be back for dinner later. We don’t drink, so we don’t want to have a banquet. Do you understand?”
Huang Bing didn't dare to offend the chief who came from the capital. He nodded repeatedly and asked his men to arrange accommodation and dinner. He followed Li Guolou and walked towards Huang Tian's house.
As the sun set, there were loud voices all around calling their children to go home for dinner, but many children were still running around outside, playing on the road despite the cold wind. A dozen children were even following Li Guo.
Lou, pointing furtively, as if they were the Nian Army and wanted to wipe them out in the sea of people.
The harder the place, the more it can train people. People in the village are not afraid of the cold. Most of the villagers do not wear cotton-padded jackets. The faces of the villagers cutting ravines are different from those in the city.
It's different for rich people. Huang Bing, Baozheng, was wearing a dog-skin hat with his neck hunched, his hands intertwined in his sleeves, as if he was afraid of the cold.
Li Guolou looked awkward and said casually: "Huang Baozheng, you look like a coward. How can you defend your hometown when bandits come? Please stretch out your hands, straighten your waist, and walk well."
I am not a Manchu and I don’t need slaves.”
Jin Erzi kicked Li Guolou to tell him to understand and stop talking nonsense. The people here are stupid people. If they accuse Li Guolou of treason, it will not be a big joke.
Huang Bing was obedient and no longer bowed down. It seems that this person has a flexible and flexible character and can return to his true character as a villager.
The village is quite big. Li Guolou walked for more than 20 minutes before arriving at Huang Tian's home. The villagers' courtyards are all very large, with chickens, ducks, and a stray dog inside. He was excited to see his owner back.
Jumping and jumping. This is to the west of Huangcun, almost at the end of the village. Going further west, the farmhouses become loosely distributed and are no longer located in the village.
Li Guolou and Jin Erzi walked around Huang Tian's house. Jin Erzi carefully began to draw the layout of Huang Tian's home at the dinner table. This is a required course for police officers, because many times the chief does not come to the scene of the crime.
, they all know what the crime scene looks like by seeing the map drawn by the police officer who arrived at the scene.
Li Guolou lowered his head and watched Jin Erzi's drawings for a while. They were all in good shape, and every straight line seemed to be drawn with a ruler. This skill was even greater than his own, and Li Guolou had a better impression of Jin Erzi in his heart.
Li Guolou turned around and asked: "Huang Baozheng, do you have the household registration information and detailed map of Huang Village?"
Huang Bing nodded and said: "Yes! Mr. Li, don't worry, there is nothing wrong. You have to ask the village official for your household registration, but I don't have it. Hehehehehe!"
Huang Bing laughed a few times and then stopped laughing, because no one supported him. He looked at Li Guolou and felt that Li Guolou was different from other officials. He looked like a rich and powerful person.
Why did he come here to check the crime scene? Huang Bingnao didn't understand. There was nothing to investigate in a case that had no beginning and no end.
