weird smile

Li Jiji asked: "Are the people who died that day from your village?"

The man said: "Yesterday they brought the photos and I looked at them. They are not young people from our place."

Li Jiji said, "Could it be from Xiao Zhu Village in the back?"

The man said: "No, there are many people here, and there is no one in the front and back villages that I don't know. Even if it's a child, I can't name it, but I know whose family it is."

Li Jiji handed him another cigarette and said, "Do you know any of the people in Hu's Restaurant?"

The man took the cigarette and said, "That Hu's restaurant?"

Li Jiji stood up and pointed in the direction of Hu's Hotel and said, "That's over there, a small two-story building, the one next to the national highway. There is a row of sycamore trees at the door."

The man said: "Where are you talking about? It turned out that it was a car repairer and tire repairer. It was opened by my cousin. After the Chinese New Year this year, he was not in good health. Later, he sold the shop. Later, that person was also a car repairer. Yes, but it closed in a few days, and it didn’t last long after changing several groups of people. I passed by there not long ago, and it seemed to be a restaurant. I went in and saw that it was opened by two girls.”

Li Jiji said: "You mean that many people didn't open it after changing?"

The man said: "Yes, as long as you go to the store, you will get sick no matter what you do, and you will be haunted at night. I have asked someone to check it, but it doesn't work."

Li Jiji and Er Qiang glanced at each other, Li Jiji murmured, "No wonder there's no evening market."

The man said, "Anyway, it won't be open for a few days."

Li International asked: "Why?"

The man pointed to the word "demolition" on the wall and said, "There is a company that wants to buy our land, saying that it will be developed, and wants to demolish our house."

Li International said, "Isn't this a good thing?"

The man threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it hard a few times and said, "What a fart, you don't know, I'll give me 500 yuan per square meter for the demolition, isn't that enough money to buy bricks? You said we lived We have been here for hundreds of years, all relying on farming, and after demolition, what do we eat and where do we live!"

Er Qiang asked: "Where did you get the unscrupulous company?"

The man said: "What is the Xiao Group? They demolished our ancestral graves over there in the spring. The pastors of our two villages fought them desperately and beat them away in a desperate manner. Even the excavator was destroyed by us. Buckle it down."

Li Jiji said: "Did they stop coming? Did they stop doing it?"

The man said: "I came here a few times later, but we drove them away. Later I heard that their boss was ill, so I stopped coming here for the time being."

Li Jiji said: "They are indeed too bad. When they came up, they demolished other people's ancestral graves. If he is not sick, who will be sick? It seems that you are really blessed by your ancestors!"

The man said: "It turned out that everyone still agreed to demolition because of lack of money. After this incident, the villagers all felt that our place is a treasured land of geomantic omen and protected by our ancestors. They all agreed that no amount of money would be given to demolish the house. Last month they again A wave of people came to talk to us, and they were directly beaten away by us."

Li Jiji asked: "Master, do you usually have outsiders here?"

The man said: "All the young people here have gone out to work, and there are very few strangers here."

Li Jiji lowered his head and thought about it, Er Qiang handed him another cigarette and said with a smile, "Master, it's a pity that you have demolished such a good place, don't let them demolish it, so you are also the blood of the royal family."

The man also smiled and said, "You two young men are not bad."

Li Jiji stood up and said to the man, "Master, let's look around and see if there are any clues."

The man said, "You should hurry up and solve the case? Otherwise, the people here will be too scared to go out."

Li Jiji asked again: "Master, are there any wild animals near us?"

The man said: "Ten years ago I could catch pheasants, hares and so on in the wild. In recent years, if we talk about wild animals, there are only a lot of rats. There are no other wild animals." The man continued, "I I heard that there are people outside who kill people and sell their offal. I think those people must have been killed and sold off. It can’t be a beast. If it is a beast, why would it only eat offal?” God seems to have become Sherlock Holmes .

Li Jiji said, "How do you know the internal organs are gone?"

The man said: "I passed by there that day and saw those people in white coats vomited. They said that their internal organs were gone. I heard it. Really."

Li Jiji said: "Master, you can talk nonsense, be careful of those who come to you."

The old man touched his stomach and said, "Is there no one who wants me, an old man?"

Li Jiji said: "Master, during this period of time, have there been any strange things here, such as some things that cannot be explained clearly?"

The uncle thought for a while and said: "There is nothing special, if there is anything."

Li International asked: "What is it?"

The man said: "Since our Zhu family's ancestral grave was pushed away by those gangsters, there was a period of time when the poultry disappeared inexplicably in our village, and I felt that there were people there, but there was no one there several times. Maybe our ancestors blamed us, we burned the paper money a few times and there was no money, or maybe it was the people from the Xiao Group who came to make trouble."

Li Jiji said, "Do you mean that there is someone at your ancestral grave?"

The man said: "During the summer harvest this year, because I was very busy, I often took them to work late. I often saw people over there, and some people said there were people talking over there, but because it was a cemetery, no one went to see it."

Li International said, "Then can I go and see?"

The man said, "What's so interesting about that? They're all grave bags."

Li Jiji probably said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that those who steal the internal organs are hiding there, so don't come looking for you at night."

Li International stood up and said to Er Qiang, "Let's go!"

Erqiang turned back to the man and said, "Thank you, sir!"

Where is the uncle in a daze.

Er Qiang asked, "Brother, where are we going?"

Li Jiji said, "Go to the construction site over there."

Erqiang asked: "Brother, where is the construction site?"

Li Jiji said, "It's the place the old man said. Didn't it mean that the excavator is still there?"

Er Qiang said, "Where should I go to see what?"

Li Jiji said: "Xiao Feng came to me this morning and wanted me to help him demolish this place, so I have to see what's going on here before agreeing to him!"

Er Qiang said: "He will give you good things!"

Li International said with a smile: "I have never encountered good things, especially when I was doing things with you."

Er Qiang said: "Brother, do you have any money to make? Will you promise him?"

Li Jiji just walked forward, ignoring the second strong man, who followed behind and chattered.

The second strong man kept chasing after him, but he seemed to be unable to catch up, until Li International came to an open space. These tombstones were scattered on the open space, probably because they were very old and no one cared about them.It used to be a hill, and this cemetery was on top of the hill. It seemed that they wanted to dig up the hill, which was stopped by the villagers as Uncle Zhu said.
