After saying goodbye to these villagers, He Sui followed their guidance and found the fat baby's father's house first.Sure enough, as the elder sister said, the fat boy's father always had a pipe and pot in his mouth, and He Sui recognized it immediately.

According to the elder sister in the village, this uncle is not yet 50 years old, but his face is full of wrinkles, and he looks much older than his actual age.He was planing wood with a carpenter's plane at the moment. There were shavings all over the ground, and there were a few pieces of flattened wood beside him.

He Sui stood outside the gate to observe, and then he smiled and shouted: "Uncle, can I drink some water?"

The fat boy's father looked up at him, got up and went back to the house. After a while, he brought out a ladle with clear water in it.

He Sui walked into the yard, took it with a smile, thanked him, and drank a few big mouthfuls.He returned the ladle to the uncle, and asked the carpenter: "Uncle, what are you doing? These wooden rolls on the ground are really interesting, what are they for?"

The uncle came into the house to deliver the ladle, and came out and said: "You don't understand, this is called shavings, it's useless, it's used to light the fire."

In fact, He Sui also knew a little bit about carpenters, and deliberately pretended not to understand anything, in order to attract the uncle to say a few more words, and when people talk about things they like to do, they will always be less guarded.

He Sui: "I don't know, uncle, just you do the carpentry work by yourself, didn't you bring an apprentice or something?"

Most of the occupations in this kind of village are passed down from generation to generation, so it is not an exaggeration for He Sui to ask.

If the uncle is willing to say a few more words about his son Fat Baby, then He Sui's purpose of coming here will be achieved.

Unexpectedly, the uncle said: "My wife left early and left no children behind. I live alone. I don't have enough trouble to ask for an apprentice."

He Sui: "..."

He was also a little surprised in his heart. The elder sister in the village also said before that Fat Boy's father had a stubborn temper, and he never said anything different, so after he severed the father-son relationship with Fat Boy, he didn't talk when they met. I really didn't ask.No wonder now, to an outsider like He Sui, he can directly say that he has no son.

To use an inappropriate idiom, a person like him can be regarded as a promise.

After thinking for a while, He Sui said again: "Uncle, in fact, you are getting old, you should teach an apprentice so that you can take care of yourself in the future."

The uncle said: "Why are you raising old people? When I am really old and useless, I will jump down from the mountain. I don't even need to collect the corpse. I clean myself and others clean."

His words made He Sui instantly feel strong sympathy, and at the same time condemned the murderer who killed the fat boy. If the fat boy didn't die, his father would not be so pessimistic.In such a village, even if the biological father and son do not communicate, they are much better than strangers.

But then again, if you jump off the mountain, you will probably fall into mud, so why clean yourself and others?

He used this to persuade the uncle, but the uncle said: "A few years ago, there was a man who fell from the mountain and his body was not found. There are many wild animals on the mountain, and [-]% of them were eaten by wolves. This is not bad."

He buried his head in planing wood again, and He Sui looked beside him for a while, then suddenly asked him, "Uncle, to tell you the truth, I came here to inquire about Fat Boy. Fat Boy's fatal wound was on the head. He was killed Killed, I want to find out the real culprit."

The movement of the uncle's hands paused, he didn't look up, he thought for a while, but he didn't say anything, and continued to plan wood.

He Sui said: "I want to ask about Fat Boy and Widow Hao, why did he marry such a widow?"

Uncle: "I don't know the person you mentioned, let's go."

He opened his mouth to issue an order to evict the guest, but He Sui had no choice but to leave without giving He Sui a chance to mention Fat Baby again.

Originally, He Sui wanted to ask other people again, but he didn't expect him to make up his mind, and saw Director Xie waiting for him.

He Sui was very curious about whether the Widow Hao had spoken, and hurriedly asked, "Has she spoken yet?"

Director Xie didn't say a word, but only took a deep look at He Sui.

He Sui: "Or don't say anything?"

Director Xie is a director who works behind the scenes as an actor. He is also a mature man with a dignified appearance. Widow Hao is not a young girl, and she can resist the charm of an old man, which is amazing.Thinking of those elder sisters proudly boasting about how their husbands resisted Widow Hao's seduction, He Sui wanted to laugh. On the condition of Mr. Xie, he could be tens of thousands of miles away from the group of pretentious losers in the village. That's it. Widow Hao ignored it.It can be seen how false it is for the village to say that she is promiscuous and seduces men all day long.

The beauty trick failed, Director Xie smiled wryly first, and then suddenly said: "Actually, she said something, she told me to stay away from her in the future."

This... is more shocking than saying nothing, right?

The two looked at each other for a while, and He Sui suddenly thought of a question: "Director Xie, why can't we just ask Widow Hao if she killed Fat Baby?"

Director Xie was taken aback by the question, thought for a while, and then said: "Maybe we subconsciously think that Widow Hao is not the murderer?"

Indeed, the thin and taciturn Widow Hao did not seem like a murderer who could kill a fat baby. Maybe they subconsciously ruled out that Widow Hao was the murderer, and only wanted to find clues about the case through Widow Hao.

He Sui began to search the methods and steps of Lin Yuan's handling of the case in his memory. After discovering the deceased, he first locked down the suspects, and then eliminated them one by one to find the real culprit.

So their method was wrong at the beginning. After knowing that the fat baby died of a blunt instrument blow, they should lock the suspect identity of Widow Hao, and then proceed to the next step, find evidence, and whether they can rule out the suspicion of Widow Hao.

He Sui said: "If we can find out that Widow Hao didn't stay with Fat Baby voluntarily, then Widow Hao will have a motive to kill."

Director Xie still couldn't believe it, "Wait, she might really be the murderer?"

"Whether it is or not, let's ask again!"

He Sui took the lead in walking towards Widow Hao's house, and they knocked on Widow Hao's door again.Widow Hao was still dressed as before, with a thick veil covering her face, only revealing a pair of big eyes, staring at the two of them.

He Sui coughed lightly, and asked straight to the point: "From Hao Er's family, how did the man you buried today die? Did you kill him?"

Widow Hao looked straight at He Sui, and suddenly she moved her arm and was about to close the door.

He Sui stretched out his hand, blocked the door, and asked, "Why didn't you speak? If you killed it, you have to go to the police station with us. If it wasn't you, who was the murderer?"

Widow Hao couldn't close the door, but she still refused to say it. She simply swung He Sui's arm that was stuck on the door and closed it abruptly, but she didn't expect He Sui's feet to be on the bottom.

This time, she seemed to be really angry. She opened the door, threw it down, and turned her head into the yard.

Of course it was impossible for He Sui not to follow.

Widow Hao's yard is neat and tidy, which looks very similar to her, neat and tidy.He Sui's affection for her continued to rise, and he became less and less convinced that she would be the murderer, but he didn't say this, so as not to slap her in the face later.

He looked around the yard and found a few pieces of relatively smooth gravel in a corner, the size of which was larger than a fist. He didn't know if it was a murder weapon.

It would be great if Lin Yuan was here, and the bloodstain identification would be handed over to them, and the results could be easily identified.

He Sui bent down and looked at the stones. These stones were barely stained with soil, which was really unreasonable.Unless they are washed in water after use.

He was watching carefully, but he heard Director Xie suddenly say: "Gui Xiang, tell me if you have any grievances?"

He Sui was taken aback by the name Guixiang, and then thought that it might be Widow Hao's boudoir name.But how did Director Xie know that Widow Hao's name is Guixiang?

Apparently, Widow Hao also had this question. He Sui looked over and saw her come out of the room, eyes wide open, watching Director Xie silent.

Director Xie smiled and said, "I guessed right? I saw that the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in your yard is growing very well, so I guess your name may be Guixiang."

Gui Xiang frowned, but asked him, "Why isn't it called Osmanthus fragrans?"

Indeed, sweet-scented osmanthus is also the name of many girls.

Director Xie said, "Osmanthus fragrans is a bit vulgar, not as fragrant as cinnamon."

He Sui was embarrassed when he heard that, what is Director Xie doing?Flirting?They are chasing the murderer, okay?

Unexpectedly, Widow Hao seemed to like this very much.She hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How do you know I read the book?"

When she said this, He Sui suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. No wonder Gui Xiang was different from the others, but she had read the book.But isn't this village isolated from the rest of the world?

Guixiang said: "When my father was around, he was a teacher. I learned from him. I don't know much."

Director Xie nodded, "You are great."

Seeing that Guixiang became a little more cautious, Daocai Xie said again: "Can you tell me what wronged you in this case? I don't believe that you killed someone."

This is what He Sui wanted to know, he didn't dare to move, for fear that any movement would arouse Gui Xiang's resistance again.

After waiting for a while, Guixiang shook her head and said, "It's fine if people die, don't do anything unnecessary. I didn't kill people, and I have a clear conscience."

After another moment of silence, Director Xie said, "Then can you tell me, after Fat Baby's death, will your tragic fate come to an end?"

This question is also a bit difficult to answer, Gui Xiang hesitated for a long time, but when He Sui thought she would not speak, she shook her head slightly.

During the heartbeat, He Sui understood what she meant, that is to say, if someone wants to marry her, then someone will die next!

He just turned his gaze to Director Xie, but unexpectedly, Director Xie said to Gui Xiang: "In this case, then I will marry you."
