Chapter 17 Chapter 17

The case of Chen Yun, the manager of the Mawangzhuang Salt Industry Company, and his wife being hired to murder was solved and praised by the county.But there was a disagreement between Ma Chong and the director Mo Haisheng on the advanced individual nomination list, and the disagreement was naturally on Mo Yu.Ma Chong insisted that even if there was no Mo Yu in this case, someone else would have found this clue, and the suspects were not involved in the follow-up, investigation, and arrest of Mo Yu. If he counted, others might not accept it.Mo Haisheng insisted that this key clue belonged to Mo Yu. After all, he had screened the scene seven times. If others could find out, it wouldn't take so long to solve the case.Debates are debates, and Mo Yu still appears in the list of advanced individuals.

Ma Chong couldn't see Mo Yu these two days, and Mo Yu could only keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid Ma Chong's sight.Even so, he used his superficial composure to suppress his inner joy, and if he advanced again, he would be able to apply for a job transfer.It's just that the last few days have been peaceful, and he thought of Su Liyang again. He didn't want to go, but compared to seeing Ma Chong's face, he still left early the next morning.

Su Yougen's house was a little later in the village, and Mo Yu returned to the entrance of the village as soon as he walked halfway.Put the motorcycle at Su Xingwang's house and walked there.To get to Su Yougen’s house, you have to go through a long ditch. The ditch is not deep, it’s about one and a half tall, and there are weeds on the side and in the ditch. This made Mo Yu very frustrated, but luckily he wore rubber shoes.In fact, except for the few houses at the entrance of the village, which are relatively neatly built, most of the houses in the village are built in bulk, and there are always large and small pits nearby. The villagers said that they dug the pits to build the houses, but no one put them in after the houses were built. It is ridiculous to think about it if it is filled in, but it is regarded as a natural garbage dump.

When we arrived at Su Yougen's house, the wooden door outside was unlocked.Walking into the yard, I saw Su Yougen's daughter-in-law Niu Ping sitting on the threshold of his house dozing off.The afternoon sun was just right, and a high earth slope towered behind Su Yougen's house.Looking at the sleepy Niu Ping behind her, she was about to wake up.But Niu Ping woke up, wiped the drool from her mouth with her fat hands, and looked sideways at Mo Yu.Last time I said that the police came to the village, and I went to join in the fun, so I still remember Mo Yu, but I still patted my butt angrily and stood up, twisting my inflexible body and walking to the back room, where Su Yougen seemed to be I was sleeping, and I heard humming inside.

Niu Ping called Mo Yu to come in, and Mo Yu rubbed his feet outside before walking into the house.In the main room, there are cabinets with peeling paint, a brand new TV set on it, and a wooden sofa with a lame leg full of clothes.When Niu Ping brought over a chipped glass with black stains on the rim, Mo Yu refused.Niu Ping didn't mind at all, and started drinking by herself.After drinking, he wiped his mouth and said: "He is sleeping in the house, you can ask me if you have anything."

Immediately Niu Ping yawned, and Mo Yu knew where the sour smell in the room came from.He rubbed his nose with his hands, did not rush outside, and asked, "A child was lost in Xiejialou 22 years ago..."

"Hey, it's this matter again. I haven't married yet. The village is arguing about this matter every day. Why don't you ask other people?"

Mo Yu held back his temper, and continued, "I'm not talking about this child. I heard that there is another child in your village named Su Xun, who disappeared after that, do you know?"

Niu Ping blinked her eyes twice, pointed inside, "You can ask him when he wakes up later, he has slept for three or four hours, and it will be about half an hour later."

Holding his breath, he walked outside. Mo Yu checked the time and it was only one o'clock in the afternoon, so he went around to the dirt slope behind.Stepping on the dirt slope, the village can be seen at a glance. This village is like the barren bridge on the road when we came here. It is difficult to poke your head among a pile of weeds.But at a glance, it was still the two adobe houses at the end of the village that were attracted.Mo Yu decided to go for a walk.

There was a little uneasiness in my heart, but I knocked a few times and no one answered, I turned to leave, but the door creaked open.The old lady had gray hair, neatly tied back, wearing a gray cotton coat, and a pair of brand new cotton shoes on her feet.Whether it is from the body shape or the heart, it gives people a feeling of vicissitudes, but this feeling reveals a calmness, just like the fallen leaves in May, which makes people infinitely trance, as if they have come to the bleak autumn, but the sun hits the fallen leaves It also makes people feel at ease.

Mo Yu greeted her and showed her identity. The corner of the old lady's mouth seemed to rise, and she turned and entered the door. Mo Yu followed behind and walked along a gravel road to the earthen house.There is only one bed, a stove with a teapot, a cupboard and a low table and stool next to it. Although it is an earthen house, it is clean and tidy. Compared with the house just now, it is simple but looks much more comfortable.

Mo Yu said: "Grandma, where is your hometown?"

There was no response, and Mo Yu continued to ask: "I heard from the villagers that you don't go out, so how do you take care of your daily life?"

I don't know if I didn't hear it, but the old lady didn't answer, she just sat on the side of the bed and held on to her crutches in silence.

Mo Yu had no place to sit, and stood awkwardly. He turned his head and looked outside, but found that in addition to the gravel road leading from the earthen house to the outside, there was also a road from the earthen house to the yard. The basin was upside down in the middle, and the road trampled by footprints also stopped abruptly at the wooden basin. Mo Yu turned and looked back at the old lady. chill.

Mo Yu wanted to ask some questions about the old lady's life experience, but the questions he asked were like nothing. Mo Yu had no choice but to close the notebook and prepare to leave. The old lady said faintly:

"The village sent me some food for a month, most of which were delivered by Li Quanyou, who put it in the cellar for me."

Following the old lady's gaze, Mo Yu understood that the basement of the tub should be a cellar.The old lady turned her head and looked at him fixedly, but Mo Yu didn't understand the deep meaning of it. He walked out of the house and opened the wooden basin. There was a step down inside. There were actually two pots of pork in the cellar. He turned his head Looking at the old lady leaning against the door and looking at him, the expression on her face made him unpredictable.Mo Yu closed the wooden basin and still came back. The old lady sighed, but she hesitated to say what she wanted to say, and she turned around and sat down.

Before Mo Yu could ask about the missing child, the old lady spoke first:

"I have never seen anything, I don't know anything, and I can't do anything. People have to live. I take care of others' homes and homes so that others can feed me."

Mo Yu was baffled by what he heard, but it was far beyond his expectation anyway, at least the old lady would be more organized than Uncle Su on the embankment, even though he couldn't understand what they were saying.But the former always gives people a kind of hope. I can't understand it now, but I may have a chance to understand it in the future.The latter is completely a floating cloud under the strong wind, and it has been blown away without a trace before you even understand the shape.

There was another silence. Mo Yu decided to change his thinking on the question. After thinking for a while, he asked, "You obviously saw the child, why didn't you tell the police at that time?"

This sentence obviously caught the old lady's question, and Mo Yu was secretly beating drums in his heart at the moment. This was just something he made up to test the old lady.

"The dead are still alive, and the living are already dead," the old lady murmured.

Mo Yu knew that there was something in the old lady's words, but no matter how he asked, the old lady didn't speak again, so Mo Yu had to leave.The old lady stood up, Mo Yu thought she was here to see him off?Unexpectedly, the old lady went to pick up the kettle. Mo Yu scratched his head in embarrassment, but saw a piece of orange debris flying out from under the old lady's shoe. Although it was not far away, it was so dirty that it was hard to tell whether it was what.

After leaving the door, Mo Yu turned around and saw the old lady lying at the door: "My name is Li Chenhe"

"Ah?" When Mo Yu asked again, the old lady had already closed the door.

Mo Yu came to Su Yougen's house. At this moment, Su Yougen was sitting in the place his wife had taken, and Niu Ping was leaning on the door frame.

Mo Yu asked Su Yougen directly about Su Xun

Su Yougen nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I said it"

"How do you know this kid?"

"He and his father came to my village to escape, but who would have thought that after coming for two years, he met a father in Beijing and was taken away?"

"How come there are two fathers?"

"Then who knows, you can ask that lunatic on the embankment, he is Su Liyang's father"

"Have you seen the one in Beijing?" Mo Yu asked

"He hasn't been here again, how did we see each other?"

"Then how do you know he was taken to Beijing?"

"What the old people in the village said"

"Then you show me to see"

"Everyone who knows is dead"

Mo Yu couldn't help raising his head. People in this place really don't live long, but saying it suddenly makes people feel uncomfortable.

Mo Yu took out a photo of Xie Jiaqi and handed it to Su Yougen.

Su Yougen took the photo and thought it was Su Xun. Although he had seen it before, he had long forgotten his appearance. After all, it had been more than 20 years, and he didn't often play with him. He was thinking about how to answer when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Su Xingwang at the door. He shook his head, stood up, walked to the door, and pulled Su Xingwang: "Come here, Xingwang, take a look, see if it's your old cousin"

Su Xingwang broke away from Su Yougen's hand, turned around and walked back instead of looking at the photo.

Su Yougen shouted loudly: "Why don't you watch it? Didn't you two play together every day when you were young? Weren't you there at that time?"

Su Xingwang turned around and was about to reason, but was persuaded by Mo Yu.He took the photo in Su Yougen's hand and handed it to Su Xingwang. Su Xingwang was a little guilty at first. He looked down and saw that this was not Su Xun at all. He is big".

Mo Yu asked Su Xingwang to confirm again, Su Xingwang insisted that this was not Su Xun, and said excitedly that Su Xun had a mole on his face.Su Yougen also remembered that Su Xun did have a mole, so he hurried to help Su Xingwang testify together.

Mo Yu put away the photos, he realized that he should go.He has always regarded Su Liyang as a self-proposed essay. He was eager to fill the content and hand in the paper in a hurry, but found that some truth seemed to be surfacing under this proposition.Instead of flashy content, he might as well start another article and write a new article.

On the road, Su Xingwang talked about the quarrel between Su Yougen and Li Ye, and even described every line vividly. He was not stating a fact, but purely as a talking point, and shook his head: "It's all up to me." We are not as good as a year."

Mo Yu felt that the whole village could not get around Li Quanyou, and he suddenly felt that he had never known this well-known person before.Mo Yu decided to hand over the beginning of the new chapter to Li Quanyou.
