snow corpse

A few glutinous rice cakes stuffed with sesame candy, I don’t know if you like it or not.I look at the mouth, is it broken? "

"It's okay, it's not very hot." Li Dabao waved his hand carelessly, then lowered his head and blew and took another bite.The sweet sugar mixed with the aroma of sesame seeds penetrated between his lips and teeth, making Li Dabao shiver with happiness, "It's delicious! I haven't eaten sesame cakes for a long time, and I still ate them when I was a child."

"It's good to eat..." Zhang Haiying also smiled when she saw Li Dabao eating happily.

"By the way, Aunt Zhang." Li Dabao took a sip of the porridge, "Is the house Master Han and Fang Mu went to far away from ours?"

"It's not far. It takes about an hour to go back and forth, and it looks like I should be home soon. Before leaving, Lao Han said that he would come back for dinner."

Just as they were talking, Lin Tao and Qin Ming entered the lobby one after the other, and Zhang Haiying hurriedly called them back and forth to sit down and eat.

"Where's Fang Mu?" Lin Tao scanned around but saw no one.

"I went to the lumberjack's house in the village with Master Han." Li Dabao finished eating one sesame cake and went to pick up the second. "Should be back soon."

"So early?" Lin Tao was surprised, and at the same time reached out to take the full bowl of porridge Zhang Haiying handed over, and thanked him.

"That's right." Zhang Haiying handed another bowl to Qin Ming, "When my old man woke up this morning, he saw Police Officer Fang standing outside, and then the two of them went out. The police officer Fang is really active, he just came yesterday. Today I ran back and forth, and I said it’s not in a hurry, it’s the same after breakfast.”

Qin Ming sneered in his heart.

Fang Mu only had three days, and now one night has passed in vain, six or seven hours, how could he not be in a hurry?

Qin Ming stroked the wall of the bowl with his slender index finger, and the scalding temperature quickly stained his fingertips, causing him to panic slightly under the stinging pain.

Although the winning ticket was in his hands, Qin Ming suddenly felt a little uncomfortable when he recalled Fang Mu's calm and clear eyes.

While speaking, there was a sudden sound of unlocking the gate in the yard.

"Hey, isn't it that Lao Han and Police Officer Fang are back?" Zhang Haiying said in his mouth, wiped his hands on the apron habitually, and then walked towards the door, just in time to meet his wife, and said happily, " Hey, we were just talking!"

"What are you talking about?" Han Ningye rubbed the mud on his shoes on the steps at the door.The snow in the mountains has begun to melt, but it has not completely melted. Some places are still thick with ice, but some places have exposed mud, and the snow and mud are muddy together.

"Hey, don't you mean when will you and Police Officer Fang come back?" Zhang Haiying led Fang Mu into the house and served him and Han Ningye a bowl of rice porridge, "Come here, Police Officer Fang, hurry up and drink some porridge, as the saying goes, it's snowing Don’t turn the snow into cold, hurry up and warm up!”

4.2

Fang Mu and Li Dabao and Lin Tao greeted each other and responded.At the Eight Immortals table, Li Dabao and Lin Tao sat on one side, Han Ningye and Zhang Haiying sat on the other side, Qin Ming occupied a bench by himself, and the other side was vacant, which seemed to be reserved for Han Yifeng.

Fang Mu hesitated for a moment, walked to the table and took a corner and sat down.It was the stool that Qin Ming was sitting on.Li Dabao and Lin Tao looked at each other, and looked up at Qin Ming at the same time. After seeing the man's seemingly inadvertent glance at Fang Mu, they snickered and continued to eat with their heads down.Fang Mu didn't feel so unhappy, he calmly held the porridge bowl to warm up.His frozen fingers flinched when they touched the hot bowl, and there was a faint pain in his index finger, which made him frown involuntarily.

"What was found?"

Fang Mu pressed the burnt place with his thumb, and quietly disappeared, "No."

"No?" Qin Ming was made very uncomfortable by his flat tone, and even spoke with a stick in his arms, "Then you woke up early in the morning and busy yourself, wouldn't it be in vain?"

Fang Mu ignored his barbed words, but raised his head and said to Li Dabao and Lin Tao, "This morning, I went to the director of the forest farm in the village with Mr. Han. The person in charge is Han Wei, 46 years old. I asked him some questions. Things are basically answered relatively clearly, except for the lumberjacks, some... how to put it, hesitating."

"What? Is it a deliberate concealment or..."

"It looks like he really doesn't know." Fang Mu said, "It seems that he doesn't know much about the lumberjacks. After the wages were paid, they all dispersed.”

"What's the background of this Han Wei?"

"Well... Speaking of which, everyone in the village knows about Han Wei." Han Ningye drank the porridge and said, "He is an orphan, and he was picked up by Han Qi from the forest——Han Qi was the original person in charge of the forest farm, and later recognized him He made Han Qi his godfather.

"You picked it up?" Lin Tao asked in surprise, "Why didn't you take him to the police station to find the child's relatives?"

"I found it!" Han Ningye seemed a little sympathetic when recalling this incident, "It was the police station where I accompanied Han Qi at that time. After searching for several days, there was no news, so the child temporarily stayed with Han Qi. Later, the police station According to people, this child is probably from a black family, and he couldn't find his parents, so he had no choice but to send him to the local orphanage."

Lin Tao said, "That's right, that's the only way to go..."

"Hey, but the local orphanage is too far away from us! And I heard people say that it's like a prison, and many children go to prison after they come out from there!" Han Ningye smacked his lips, put down his chopsticks, and every smile on his face There seemed to be deep hatred engraved in the wrinkles, "Although Han Qi is not very good, he still has a conscience!"

"He thought about it for several days after the police came, and finally told me that he wanted to adopt this child. I was a little disapproving at the time, after all, considering that he was a poor bachelor, wouldn't bringing another child add to the chaos? "Han Ningye sighed, "But when I think about this good doll, if he enters the orphanage, he will be a criminal when he comes out... Later, I agreed to let this child follow Han Qi, and it might not be a big success. , at least eat enough and dress warmly!"

"Han Qi is also a dickhead. He likes to gamble, and he often takes his baby to the casino. Do you think this good baby can follow his ass and not learn bad things?! But fortunately, this Han Qi is confused. He was confused, but he did his best for the forest in the hills. So Han Wei, just follow his old man, the good ones didn’t learn, and the bad ones learned faster than anyone else! Later, Han Qi owed usury and was arrested. After killing him, Han Wei started to take care of the forest farm honestly, and he hasn't made any troubles in these years."

"Then according to what you say..." Li Dabao hesitated for a while, "This Han Wei can be regarded as inheriting his father's business. Then he followed Han Qi to the casino when he was young, so he didn't have any gambling addiction?"

"Didn't I just say that, if Han Qi hadn't been hacked to death for the word 'gambling', he, Han Wei, might still be sitting at the gambling table right now!"

"Isn't it!" Zhang Haiying patted his chest with lingering fear, "Everyone in the village saw Han Qi's death on the road at the entrance of the village, surrounded by three people, and one person was in charge of the wind, hacking him to death alive Yes! Han Wei watched helplessly as his father was hacked to death, and finally he had to help his father collect his body... Hey, I feel miserable when I think about it! The bloodstains have been left at the village gate, and every time I pass by there I felt hairy... Later, it rained heavily for several days before your blood stains were washed away."

Lin Tao took a dried radish in his mouth, and chewed it while listening, "Then this shadow is not small. This Han Wei... How old was he then?"

Han Ningye pondered for a while, "At that time... he was probably in his teens!"

"Yeah, I remember... I remember that such a thing happened in the village not long after my daughter was born... At that time, my daughter only sat down!" Zhang Haiying seemed to think of something, and her eyes suddenly changed. It was flushed, and the corners of the eyes were moist.

"What are you talking about?!" To everyone's perplexity, Han Ningye, who has always been good-tempered, got angry. He slapped the thick Eight Immortals table, which shocked Li Dabao and the others. Don't bother! The police officer is asking about Han Wei, why mention her!"

"This is me, old man! This is not..."

"What are you not?!"

Han Ningye's eyes were as wide as bells, and he looked fierce and scary, "Why do you mention her after the past few decades?! The past is over! Don't be stuck in that memory and can't get out! "

"Hey!——" Zhang Haiying responded quickly, and tears flowed into the wrinkles on her face. She lowered her head and wiped her apron carelessly a few times, then raised her head and smiled at Dabao, "I'm laughing, I'm laughing... ..."

Li Dabao waved his hands in embarrassment and said it was all right.

"Then how Han Qi's body was disposed of afterwards, do you know?"

Han Ningye glanced at Qin Ming, and the previous anger dissipated a lot, "I went to the back mountain when those people came to the door, or the village sent someone to call me back, when I hurried back to the village Han Qi already..." Han Ningye seemed to be at a loss for words when he recalled the scene at that time. He rubbed his purple, red and swollen fingers that had been cracked by frostbite, "Han Wei was kneeling on the ground, and he was so scared! It’s time to call him. I’m afraid that he’ll feel uncomfortable looking at the corpse again, so I asked him to go to my house and ask his mother for a snakeskin bag so that I can put all the corpses in. I’ll show him where I am. He complied, and stumbled away."

"At that time, Han Wei stood in front of the iron gate of my house covered in blood and shouted that I opened it.
