Detective Files II

Chapter 136
That night, it seemed that none of the people living in Niu's house slept soundly.

The two girls who lived in the same room with Tian Mi, Qin Lijuan tossed and turned on the folding bed all night, making the bed creak, while Piran was the complete opposite, almost lying next to Tian Mi all night without moving. Just imagine, If a person who falls asleep normally, how many people can not change their positions?

Although Piran didn't make any sound, Tian Mi could still guess that she, like herself, was thinking clearly.

After all, before going to bed, when she talked to herself, she was very cautious in both tone and expression, as if she had been trying to observe Tian Mi's attitude.

Not only the three of them, but even Xiao Yiran and Miao Xiao who lived in the opposite room walked out of the room several times in one night, and went to the kitchen to pour water.

After finishing the conversation in the evening, Tian Mi called back to the Public Security Bureau of City C and asked Cheng Feng and the others to investigate Li Weiming's past growth experience, and to learn about the six people's daily performance at the side of the university where these people were studying.

Lu Xiangdong's words inspired her a lot. Although she was familiar with the environment of Yunding Village and the details of hiding and abandoning corpses, Lao Jiu attracted their attention, but before she had a clear direction, she couldn't take anyone lightly.

Cheng Feng also told her on the phone that they should do an investigation as soon as possible. If the suspicion of the villagers of Yunding Village can be ruled out, they should return to City C with six students as soon as possible.

Even if Cheng Feng didn't say it outright, Tian Mi could tell that there was no clear progress in the case during this period, and Li Weiming's parents seemed to put pressure on the bureau.

By the way, Tian Mi also entrusted Cheng Feng to investigate the matter about Zhuang Jinyun. After all, if rape is suspected, the Public Security Bureau may file a case. It should not be difficult to find out the truth of the original incident.

Just like what Lu Xiangdong said, a legend about a female ghost can actually scare Li Weiming to such an extent that he loses his mind and panics all day long. May I ask which school does not have similar ghosts and gods in the process of going to school from childhood to adulthood? Li Weiming When I first arrived in Yunding Village, I didn’t believe in evil so much that even Pilan tried hard to persuade the girl’s temple not to let me go in and play. Why did I immediately get so stimulated when I went to the “haunted house”?

In addition to the psychological hints given to him by others, could there be other reasons?

Tian Mi's guess is bolder. Li Weiming is particularly afraid of the legendary "Haunted House Ghost" Zhuang Jinxia. Zhuang Jinxia happened in City C back then. Could there be a connection between the two?

However, according to age calculations, when Zhuang Jinxia had an accident, Li Weiming should have been only 13 years old. If a 13-year-old boy tried to sexually assault an 18-year-old young woman, the possibility seems not high.

Because of this, Tian Mi did not directly express her guess, but kept it in her heart, planning to slowly deliberate after having further evidence.

Early the next morning, although she only slept for a few hours intermittently, Tian Mi woke up very early because of something on her mind. She got up early to wash up, and chatted with the old woman about the back side of the mountain while she was making breakfast. The old dealer's past.

After all, the old cow woman is a woman, and she is more interested in the neighbors' parents than Niu Fufu. When I first saw Tian Mi coming to chat early in the morning, she was a little timid. You don't need to guess. Niu Fufu must have told you behind her back. , I also know that Li Weiming has been killed, and now his disappearance has been upgraded to murder, so I am even more afraid of saying the wrong thing.

But now it's different, what Tian Mi asks herself is about the old neighbors in the village, and it seems that she has nothing to do with Li Weiming, so the old cow woman naturally has no worries about talking about it.

Speaking of Zhuang Jinyun, the old lady also kept praising the girl for how fresh and handsome she was back then, and how many young men in the village went to the dealer to show their hospitality. In that passage, the old cow woman's attitude was more contempt than sympathy.

"You don't know, the second boy of my family was so foolish that he still fell in love with the eldest girl of the old dealer. Thanks to you, Aunt Niu, I have poisonous eyes, and I can see who is what kind of person at a glance! "The old cow woman threw the sweet potatoes that had been steamed the day before into the cauldron and warmed them up, and said to Tian Mi happily: "Why don't you say that you will suffer if you don't listen to the old man's words? Guangbei! I told our second boy at the beginning that we should not provoke the girl from the old dealer, it would definitely be a source of disaster! She is not a person who can live a life! This woman is too beautiful to die, plus That girl swayed her buttocks from side to side when she walked, and it was clear that she was coquettish in her bones!"

As she said that, the old cow woman still imitated Zhuang Jinyun's way of passing, and walked a few steps twitchingly to show Tian Mi, but it was a pity that her figure was not right, and she was still holding a broken water ladle that dripped water in her hand.

"Aunt Niu, aren't you exaggerating?" Tian Mi held back a smile, and felt that although the old cow woman was not kind, she was not very kind and simple, but she really had a talent for comedy, so she didn't go It's a pity to be a comedian.

"Hey! Not exaggerating! Not exaggerating at all!" Seeing that Tian Mi didn't believe her, the old cow woman hurriedly said with joy in her long voice, "Look, how accurate what I said later! That girl is not down-to-earth. Really looking for a partner in the village, taking good care of my parents to live, insisting on going to some city to work, and saying that I want to make money for my younger brother to study, and then save the money to continue studying by myself! Let me tell you, it’s restless and guarded. I can’t live in the nest! Something happened in the end! I ran home crying and hanged myself, which made the neighbors uneasy. Now our second boy is in the city, and he has a good partner, thanks to my good discipline as a mother ! Otherwise, if no one cares, you might end up like the old nine..."

Speaking of this, the old cow woman suddenly stopped and did not continue talking.

When Tian Mi heard her mention Lao Jiu, of course she wanted to ask clearly. She also knew the personality of the old cow woman, she had a big mouth but she was afraid of getting into trouble. If she deliberately asked, she would shut her mouth as tightly as a clam shell.

"Isn't it good to be like Lao Jiu? Didn't you say before that he is well-known in ten miles and eight villages as a 'half fairy' and makes a lot of money?" Tian Mi circled around with the old cow woman as if nothing had happened: "I I also heard people say that he is still doing a "shady medium" and matching them with some kind of shady marriage. He can earn tens of thousands of yuan once he succeeds! Let's not talk about science and unscientific things. If we only talk about income, your son may not be able to earn as much. More of him!"

Hearing that her son was seen all over the place, the old cow woman was a little unhappy, she curled her mouth, and rolled her big eyes vigorously: "Hmph! Yes, I admit that Lao Jiu earns more than my son, but that's not the case. How is it! My two sons are dating, and they will get married in two or three years, and our grandson will be in our arms in a few years! No matter how much the old nine earns, can these things be bought with money? Back then Like a silly boy, he likes the big girl of the old dealer's house, and he doesn't look at himself. As a result, people don't look at him at all. In the end, he died, and he seemed to have been hit hard. After procrastinating until now, he can't find a wife arrive."

It seems that Lu Xiangdong's judgment was correct again this time. The old nine really had feelings for the dead Zhuang Jinyun. If the old cow woman hadn't exaggerated it, it would seem that the feelings are not shallow. .

After this point was confirmed from the mouth of the old cow woman, Tian Mi stopped focusing on Lao Jiu, fearing that asking too many questions would arouse the old cow woman's suspicion, so she asked again: "Then, is it okay for the old Zhuang family to move away?" How old is it?"

"It hasn't been ten years in a flash, at least eight or nine years old! But, where is the family from!" The old cow woman sighed without sincerity: "First, the girl hanged herself at home, and then the man from the dealer They lit another fire and burned the house, and died inside. Their son was sent to the hospital and there was no news. Everyone said that he was probably dead. Even if he was alive, he might be crippled. Now, only the Zhuang family's daughter-in-law is left!"

"Did she come back after all these years?"

"Come back? Why do you come back? You feel that life is too comfortable, come back to find sadness and sorrow?" La... Oops! Bah, bah, bah! Look at my mouth! It's bad, it's not good, it's good!"

"Then where did she move to?"

"I don't know. I haven't seen it since the dealer caught fire, and no one knows."

"Aunt Niu, do you know the family name of Zhuang Jinyun's nanny?"

"Where would I know this! I haven't gotten to know the dealer's wife that well, and your Aunt Niu and I are not so good at inquiring about other people's affairs!" The old cow woman said seriously.

Tian Mi smiled awkwardly with black lines on her face, and did not comment on her words.

It’s so lively now, Tian Mi secretly thought, the six college students seem to be living in peace on the surface, but in fact, their relationship in private can be regarded as complicated, and they have formed quarrels with Li Weiming, big or small. , Even between lovers, girlfriends, and buddies, there is another kind of thought hidden, which is completely in harmony with each other.

As for the old nine, with the confirmation of the old cow woman, Tian Mi proved that he once had feelings for Zhuang Jinyun, and was hit by Zhuang Jinyun's death. It is very likely that he is still unmarried because of that time.

The person who most actively encouraged the students to visit the haunted house, the person who dragged Li Weiming to go even though he knew he had a congenital heart defect, and everyone who was at the place where the murderer hid the corpse after Li Weiming was killed all pointed to Lao Jiu.

If Li Weiming is indeed related to Zhuang Jinyun, then the suspicion of Lao Jiu will also increase sharply.

As for the others, it was time to reveal the little secrets that had been covered up one by one.
