Temporary partner

As they were talking, a middle-aged woman came out of the house, her eyes were red and swollen, and her eyes were dull. She walked into the kitchen with a pair of firewood in her hand, and squatted on the ground to split it to prepare for the fire.

Village head Ma stood up and scolded: "I don't know how to respond to people coming from home, cook more food." After finishing speaking, he introduced to Ji Yan and the others: "This is from my house, it's just such an idiot, idiot .”

Zu Tianyang walked over: "Sister-in-law Ma, I'm from the Public Security Bureau. I'm here to inquire about the case of Ma Yufen's disappearance. Do you have any clues?"

Mrs. Ma hacked twice and wiped away her tears: "It's all retribution, it's all life!"

Village head Ma stood up and knocked on the cigarette stick in his hand: "What are you talking about! Girls know how to cry. Look at the firewood you got. How can you make a fire in this tide? Hurry up and cook!"

Ji Yan looked at Zu Tianyang, and Zu Tianyang stood up calmly: "Mr. Ma, I want to look at Ma Yufen's things again. Last time I had a question, it was Ma Yufen..."

While talking, he entered the house with Village Chief Ma, and Ji Yan flashed into the kitchen quickly, and saw Mrs. Ma squatting by the stove to light a fire and cook.

Ji Yan said: "Sister-in-law Ma, if you have anything to say, just say it, it is related to Ma Yufen's safety."

Mrs. Ma squatted by the stove and didn't speak, just kept wiping away her tears.

Village head Ma is a smart man, he brought Zu Tianyang into the house but didn't see Ji Yan's figure, he understood seven or eight in his heart, he sighed and said: "Comrade Zu, I'm not afraid of your jokes, my wife, hey Suspicious all the time."

Oh Zu Tianyang?With a sound.

Village head Ma said: "I don't know who I heard from. She always suspects me..."

Zu Tianyang smiled: "Sister-in-law is worrying too much."

Village head Ma said: "That's not true! The loss of a child is always annoying, but she still insists that it's retribution! This old woman!"

Zu Tianyang said: "Sister-in-law said it was retribution, let alone you and Wang Xiaomei's mother..."

Village head Ma's face turned green, and Zu Tianyang immediately said: "Look, I can't speak anymore. Our team leader Ji criticized me for a day yesterday. Women think too much. It's not easy for the widow Wang. To this day widows are always gossiped about.”

Village Chief Ma forced a smile: "Hey, I am the village chief. It's not easy. Don't worry about it. Orphans and widowed mothers can't bear it. The spittle in this village will drown you. Don't worry, the spittle will still drown you." about you."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "What I'm saying is, if you are being talked about here, the two children must feel even more sad."

Village Chief Ma was taken aback, and Zu Tianyang smiled and looked away.

Coming out of Ma Yufen's room, Zu Tianyang saw that Ji Yan was studying the ash poured out by Mrs. Ma.

They did not throw away the plant ash, but collected it in a waste plastic bucket. Zu Tianyang asked the village chief, "What is this for?"

Village head Ma knocked some soot into it: "All the ash burned here is used as fertilizer when farming. You can stay here for lunch at noon."

Ji Yan shook his head: "Let's forget it."

Zu Tianyang said: "By the way, Village Chief Ma, last time we went to Zhao Guitian's house, she was not there. She said she would be back in two days. Have you come back yet?"

Village head Ma narrowed his eyes and said, "She's not here?"

Ji Yan said, "Yes, her mother-in-law said it."

Village head Ma smiled and said: "Oh, I'm afraid I don't want her to see strangers. This Zhao Guitian is not good at thinking, and her man Li Dagui is not a smart person. Thanks to her mother-in-law, she is a powerful person. What do you want her for? Has she anything to do with this?"

Zu Tianyang said: "Oh, we just want to know a little bit about the situation, and it's a little strange to see the door of their house closed. Can you take us there, just to ask a few words."

After hearing Zu Tianyang's words, Village Chief Ma let out an "ah" and said, "Let's go, I'll go with you. But I don't quite understand. Didn't these two dolls get lost in the market? Why are they still involved?" Arrived in the village?"

Ji Yan said: "Zu experts have raised doubts, and now we can't determine the location of the crime. It may be at the bus station at the entrance of the village."

Ma Guangde looked at them blankly: "Impossible, if something happens at the entrance of the village, everyone will know."

Ji Yan said, "It was so dark at the entrance of the village when the last bus arrived, so no one noticed?"

Ma Guangde shook his head: "Impossible, even if someone pulls him away, he still has to take the car. If he leaves the car with the lights on, why won't people notice it? When the child was just lost, I asked the bus driver if there was any I saw a car behind. Besides, there is a car going around the town behind, isn’t it a waste of time to go around this part of the road?”

Zu Tianyang said: "Isn't there another road in the village that leads directly to the provincial road?"

Ma Guangde said: "That's not the right one. It's at the west end of the village. From the east end to the west end, you have to cross such a large field. You can't walk away, let alone two girls. "

Ji Yan had said similar things to him before, and Zu Tianyang nodded. From this point of view, the place where the crime happened was still at the market, but the time is not sure yet. Zu Tianyang followed Village Chief Ma to the direction of Zhao Guitian's house Walking away, I thought that if the location was indeed at the market, it seemed that those who took the last bus home would not need to ask any questions. However, the behavior of this family was evasive, and the village was secretive. Zu Tianyang squinted his eyes and did not come out. Voice.

Zhao Guitian's husband's family name is Li. Mrs. Li reluctantly opened the door when she saw that they didn't want to open the door, but the village head knocked on their door with a cigarette.The Li Dagui I saw last time was sitting on a small stool, playing sheep cane with a little girl, and a thin woman on the side was washing clothes. When she saw someone coming, she raised her head in a daze.

Zu Tianyang stepped forward: "You are Zhao Guitian?"

Zhao Guitian quickly stood up and wiped his hands from the apron: "It's me."

Zhao Guitian was born with delicate features but very thin. She looked at Zu Tianyang and then at Ji Yan: "Comrade police?"

Ji Yan nodded at her, and Zu Tianyang saw Zhao Guitian's mother-in-law, Mrs. Li, curl her lips from the corner of her eye.

Ji Yan took out the notebook and said, "Zhao Guitian, I'm sorry to trouble you for your cooperation, but we'll just ask a few questions."

Zhao Guitian said nervously, "What do you want me to cooperate with?"

The village chief came over, smoked a pipe and said, "Tell me about Ma Yufen and Wang Xiaomei."

Mrs. Li wondered, "What? Why are you asking this?"

Zhao Guitian also looked blank: "I don't know anything."

Zu Tianyang said: "We are just asking casually, don't be nervous, you also went to the market on October [-], right?"

Zhao Guitian nodded in fear: "Yes."

Zu Tianyang said, "Which bus did you take?"

Zhao Guitian said: "I don't go out of the village very often, and I don't know any places. It's late when I go shopping. I asked before when I came back by the last bus."

Zu Tianyang said: "Did you see the two girls on the last train?"

Zhao Guitian shook his head: "I didn't see it, there are many people in the car."

Zu Tianyang said: "Was it dark in the car at that time?"

Zhao Guitian said, "Black."

Zu Tianyang said: "Then you didn't see them or didn't pay attention?"

Zhao Guitian said, "I didn't pay attention to it."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "The station is also dark at night?"

Zhao Guitian said, "Yes."

When Zu Tianyang was asking questions, Ji Yan was recording on the side. He observed the house calmly, and he could see that the situation was average. There are two ropes with a few clothes hanging on them. They are so poor that they are still guarding against them like thieves.Ji Yan turned his head speechlessly. He saw Mrs. Li and Li Dagui staring at him warily. The village chief took a puff of his cigarette and asked Mrs. Li, "Where's the second boy?"

The old lady said: "It's in the house, it's on the kang."

The village chief said, "Take it out and let me see."

The old lady said: "The child is young and cannot see the wind. If you want to see the village chief, go to the house and have a look."

The village chief shook his head: "I won't watch it, I won't watch it."

Zu Tianyang said: "Sister-in-law, don't be afraid, we just want to know something about the situation, do you know these two girls?"

Zhao Guitian said: "Yes, the whole village knows each other, it's an honor, the first one in the village to be admitted to university."

"What about Wang Xiaomei?"

"I know you too."

"Have you ever chatted? Did the two of them talk about anything?"

Zhao Guitian thought for a while: "I haven't seen it a few times, sometimes I come across it while washing clothes, and I heard people say they want to work or something."

"Who said that?"

"Wang Xiaomei said it. She said that the county town is better than the village."

Zu Tianyang nodded: "OK, thank you for the clues you provided."
