did not meet tonight

Early in the morning, when it was just dawn, a hasty knock on the door broke the silence. The door is an old-fashioned stainless steel structure, and it makes a loud noise when pushed. Yu Yuanyuan was the first to get up, and was boiling water in the kitchen. When he heard the noise, he poked his head and looked around.Ye Jian was walking down the stairs, seeing that he was about to open the door, Yu Yuanyuan held him back and asked, "Could it be that Aunt Ye came to the door again?"

"It's okay, we still have two bodyguards upstairs!" Ye Jian said confidently.

"I think it's because Brother Xiao is here." Yu Yuanyuan's words pierced his mind.

"It's called leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade." Ye Jian didn't refute, but raised his eyebrows proudly, with a natural expression.The knock on the door continued, and as soon as he walked over to open it, a figure bumped in and asked anxiously, "Does Officer Xiao live here?"

The visitor was slightly fat, with a pair of silver-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his head was covered with sweat, as if he had come from a long distance. Yu Yuanyuan recognized him as Zhang Sheng, the liaison officer of the village committee, and asked: "Is there any news about Zheng Anmin and his wife?"

"Yes, I thought Police Officer Xiao and the others lived at Aunt Ye's house, and they were scolded when they went to find someone just now." Zhang Sheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said pantingly, "His cell phone has not been connected. I found this place after asking other people in the village, is he still here?"

"Yes, he's upstairs, I'll call him!" Yu Yuanyuan turned around and was about to go upstairs. Xiao Yu and Gao Zhishang had already come down when they heard the noise. Zhang Sheng saw them immediately go up and said anxiously: "Officer Xiao, Zheng Anmin is dead! Someone found his body in the mountains!"

Zheng Anmin's body was found in a plum grove. The person who reported the case was Wang Xinggui, the owner of the plum grove. He got up early to pick plums and wanted to sell them for a good price. Up under the tree, he thought it was a plum thief at the time, picked up a wooden stick and ran over, yelling loudly.

It was still dark at that time, and the mountains were blocked by trees, and it was dark everywhere. When he approached, he found that the man was hanging from the tree trunk by a rope, his feet were drooping on the ground, and there were two potholes. His eyes were protruding, his tongue was exposed, his face was blue and gray, and he was extremely terrifying under the half-bright sky.Wang Xinggui was so frightened that he fell to the ground on the spot, scrambling and rushing down the hill, shouting "Killer! Killer!" all the way.Zhang Sheng didn't believe it at first. In this small village, there are at most trivial incidents happening in the neighborhood. How could there be a murder case!He led several villagers up the mountain to check. He was so frightened by the situation in front of him that his hands and feet were weak. When he was about to call the police, he suddenly remembered that there were two policemen in the village, and then ran to him.

Most of the people in the village know Zheng Anmin. He is a reseller of mountain goods. Every season, he will drive a small truck to the village to collect the goods. Can earn a lot of money every year.The day before the accident, I had made an appointment with Wang Xinggui to collect plums at his home today, but I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen just one night later.

When Xiao Yu and the others arrived, there were already many watching villagers around the scene. Fortunately, Zhang Sheng confessed before leaving that no one destroyed the scene.Yang Cuilian was also crowded in the crowd, and when she saw Ye Jian, she said in a strange way: "Some people are born with bad luck. When they didn't come back, nothing happened in the village. When they came back, people died. It's really bad luck!"

"You mean that little doll from Zhu's family?" asked a middle-aged woman in her 40s next to her.

"There's such a little nemesis at the Zhujia stall. He drank cold water all these years and stuck his teeth between his teeth. Although he didn't fall on us, he felt that he should be shocked when he saw it?" Yang Cuilian glanced at Ye Jian and deliberately raised her voice. "It's good now, the village In a blink of an eye, another broom star came, and if the misfortune continues, can we have a good life?"

The villagers followed her gaze in unison, and their curious or wary eyes fell on Ye Jian, and someone muttered: "Isn't this the son of the Ye family? When did you come back?"

"Even my parents were killed, why do you think he came back!" said the person next to him, rolling his eyes.

Their voices were not loud enough for the people nearby to hear them clearly. Ye Jian's footsteps stopped, and his face became paler in the morning light.Xiao Yu stopped, and his sharp eyes swept across the crowd. Everyone who came into contact with their eyes lowered their heads. Yang Cuilian was not convinced, but still wanted to say something. As soon as she opened her mouth, she saw Xiao Yu's cold face. Those words I was stuck in my throat and couldn't speak anymore.

Gao Zhishang was examining the corpse. It was obviously a man-made murder. The deceased had struggled violently before his death, and his hands and feet had contusions of varying degrees.He extracted suspected skin tissue and hair from the fingers of the corpse, carefully packed them into a ziplock bag, and while waiting for the police from the Heming Town Police Station, he first asked Wang Xinggui about the situation.

"Is he the one who adopted Huaxi?" Ye Jian asked, the body had been untied from the tree, covered with a piece of clothing, hands and feet were exposed, and obvious corpse spots could be seen.

"Well, his wife is Huaxi's aunt." Xiao Yu checked and found that the wallet and mobile phone were missing from the corpse.

"How did Huaxi's parents die?" Ye Jian asked hesitantly.

"Car accident." Perhaps it was because of this that Huaxi couldn't forgive Zhou Feng and the others for what they had done.Ye Jian took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.Zhang Sheng was still in shock, walked over tremblingly and said, "Officer Xiao, this Zheng Anmin went to the mountain with his wife to receive the goods. I made several calls just now, but I couldn't get in touch with his wife. Could it be? Is something wrong?"

"When will the people from the police station come?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I have asked people to wait at the entrance of the village. It is far away from the town. It may take an hour." Zhang Sheng did not dare to approach the corpse, and stood beside the corpse cautiously.

"You are familiar with the situation here, first organize a few villagers to go into the mountain to look for it, and contact us immediately if there is any situation." Xiao Yu looked at the time and said.

"Well, although our place is big, there are only a few roads. They are driving, and they must be near the main road. I will take someone to look for it first." Zhang Sheng nodded, and searched for four or five on the spot. Personally, lead them away.The remaining few women felt that there was no excitement to watch, so they all turned around and were about to leave, when an older sister in a striped shirt suddenly yelled, "Oh! Look, what's on the ground!"

Most of the mountain is still a dirt road, and you can clearly see two lines of footprints on the ground, one deep and one shallow, and a line of small pits on the shallow side, as if someone walked through here with a cane.Someone said: "Could it be Tieguai Li? Why is he here on this mountain?"

"Hey, I remembered! He asked me for Brother Zheng's phone number earlier, saying that he had some dry goods at home that he wanted to sell. Could it be that the business didn't work out, and he killed him in a fit of anger?" Big Sister guessed.

"Maybe it's true. Brother Zheng has kept the price down so low this year. No one is happy. We are good hands and feet. It doesn't matter if we earn less. Their family is different. This little money may be life-saving money! "Someone agreed.

"Brother Zheng just sees Qian Qian's eyes open. He didn't mean to screw us to death. It's good that he got himself into it first." It was like seeing it with my own eyes.Gao Zhishang had just finished understanding the general situation with Wang Xinggui, and when he heard their conversation, he asked in confusion, "Who are they talking about Tieguai Li?"

"The man's surname is Zhu, not Li. He accidentally broke his leg last year and has been on crutches. I don't know who started it, so everyone started calling him that." Wang Xinggui said, "Their family is miserable. I don’t know what stimulated my wife in the past two years, and she suddenly went crazy, and my son seems to be only seven or eight years old. I often see him digging wild vegetables with a basket on his back, which is pitiful.”

"Has he had any grudges with the deceased?" Gao Zhishang asked.

"I don't know much about this. The Zhu family usually doesn't even go out, so it shouldn't be possible." Wang Xinggui shook his head and said, "But Zheng Anmin is very snobbish. He only recognizes money but not people. He gave us cigarettes with a smile on his face, waited for a lot of things to be collected, and put on airs indifferently, and often pressed the payment for the goods and refused to pay them. If it wasn't for the sake of business, everyone really didn't want to see him."

Gao Zhishang looked back at Xiao Yu questioningly. Xiao Yu heard all the conversations clearly. The skin of the corpse turned black, indicating that the blood had gradually coagulated. According to the preliminary judgment, the time of death should be between four and six hours. And the footprints that appeared in Li Zilin were indeed suspicious.Xiao Yu said: "Stay here and wait for the people from the police station to come. I will go to the family to inquire about the situation."

Gao Zhishang was going to ask Wang Xinggui to lead the way, Wang Xinggui seemed to guess what he was going to say, and quickly said: "Officer, if there is nothing else, I will go to pick the fruit first, you see these are ripe, if you don't pick them, they will rot It's at the top of the tree!"

The meaning in his words was obvious, he just didn't want to contact the Zhu family, Ye Jian said: "Let me lead the way, I know where their family is."

Xiao Yu nodded, and Yang Cuilian rolled her eyes and snorted when she saw them leaving, and cursed: "This bastard, he won't come back sooner or later, but it's really bad luck to come back at this time!"
