Brother Hui thought for a while and whispered,"But don't tell me, their village is weird. Anyway, my parents told us not to go there since we were young. Huang Ming ran away secretly. Maybe he was cursed."

This made it sound weird again. Many uncles and aunts asked,"What's going on? Tell me about it."

Brother Hui looked mysterious,"I don't know much, but their village usually guards two mountains and plants trees. Every year, people come to buy them. But the strange thing is that they don't let young people go out to work. Anyway, Huang Ming's eldest brother went out and didn't come back alive. His family ran away and died. It's weird."

Shen Zhou listened and was quite excited,"So weird?"

This is a bit like the legends of those backward villages he has seen on the border. It has a bit of that flavor, something like being cursed.

But in a more developed city like Jianghai, I have never heard of such a legend.

Si Miaomiao was rarely in the mood to listen to gossip. She thought for a moment and realized that Huang Ming's hometown was not in Jianghai, but in a small village in Yuanjiang City next to Jianghai. It was not far from Jianghai, and it took about four hours to drive there.

"Hey, you are interested in this. Let me tell you, that village usually does not allow strangers to enter. You may not know that Huang Ming's wife has the same surname as him and is from the same village. He doesn't even allow wives from outside to marry. What era is that?..."Brother Hui said with disdain

"Isn't this a close relative marriage?" The younger brother opposite Brother Hui couldn't help but exclaimed

"Who knows? Anyway, they probably can't get too close to each other if they can get married."Brother Hui sighed,"Anyway, the villages around us don't dare to get too close to them, because they will be cursed...."

Brother Hui said a lot of mysterious things afterwards, but Shen Zhou lost interest.

He found an excuse to exchange numbers with Brother Hui and then walked out with Si Miaomiao.

Si Miaomiao asked in confusion:"Why don't you just ask him back to the police station?"

Shen Zhou glanced at her and said,"You don't understand. Usually, when the gangsters go back to the police station, they only answer one question at a time, and they are not very clear. Do you know why?"

Si Miaomiao blinked and shook her head

"First, it's because of rebellious psychology, and second, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make. Who knows what you said will be caught by the police."Shen Zhou reached out and took her hand,"So it's better to listen to his bragging and know more." Si Miaomiao looked at the two people's shaking hands and couldn't help showing a satisfied smile,"You still know more."

"Well, after being a gangster for so many years, I know a little bit."Shen Zhou laughed softly.

"I think we can go to the cursed village to have a look." Shen Zhou glanced at Si Miaomiao and said.

Si Miaomiao was a little hesitant. After all, that place was not under the jurisdiction of Jianghai, and it would be troublesome to go there.

As if knowing what she was thinking, Shen Zhou whispered:"Tomorrow is Saturday, let's go traveling."

Si Miaomiao understood that this person did not intend to go through the procedures at all, but planned to go privately to have a look.

"If we really find something, we can't act rashly."Si Miaomiao said seriously. She heard from Brother Hui that there must be something wrong with the village.

But it has no direct relationship with Huang Ming's case for the time being, and they have no reason to go to someone else's jurisdiction.

Shen Zhou's behavior is obviously trying to scam people. Si Miaomiao, who always abides by the rules, is a little hesitant.

Shen Zhou smiled innocently,"We are just going to travel and see what can we find?"

Si Miaomiao stared at him for a while, and suddenly sighed,"Okay, let's go and see."

In the afternoon, the two of them took the route address sent by Sister Meng and visited Huang Xiuli's usual route one by one.

Sure enough, every day is basically the vegetable market, the daily necessities store, and then the park.

When they arrived at the daily necessities store, the female owner was obviously a little flustered after knowing that they were police.

Si Miaomiao stared at her and asked,"Do you know something?"

"No...no...I don't know anything.……"The female shop owner quickly waved her hands and shook her head.

Shen Zhou glanced at the cockroach poison and rat poison placed in the corner, and he probably knew what the female shop owner was afraid of.

"You know Huang Xiuli, right? Has she ever come to you to buy cockroach poison, rat poison, or something like that?" Shen Zhou didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.

Sure enough, the female shop owner became even more panicked,"No, I...she did buy it, but it has nothing to do with me...I don't know...It's not illegal to sell this stuff, everyone sells it.……"

Hearing the obviously flustered words of the female shopkeeper, Si Miaomiao softened her tone,"Don't be afraid, we are just trying to understand the situation. Do you mean that Huang Xiuli did come to you to buy rat poison or something?" The female shopkeeper nodded fearfully,"She, her whole family didn't die from eating rat poison, did they? Officer, it's none of my business. I didn't know they would eat it. Huang Xiuli said before that there were rats at home, so I asked her to buy it.……"

The female shopkeeper became more and more anxious as she spoke, fearing that the responsibility would be shouldered by herself.

After hearing what she said, Shen Zhou probably knew that Huang Xiuli had bought rat poison from her half a month ago, saying that there were rats at home.

Then when the female shopkeeper heard that there was a murder in Linghua Community yesterday, she had a bad feeling.

Shen Zhou glanced at the female shopkeeper,"Why do you have a bad feeling? Did you know that Huang Xiuli would get into trouble?"

The female shopkeeper sighed and pointed to her head in embarrassment,"Huang Xiuli doesn't seem to be in a good condition. She's weird. I've heard her say several times before that she would kill you sooner or later.……"

She looked up at Shen Zhou and the others in a panic,"But I really didn't know she would die, officer, she didn't really die from eating my rat poison, did she? It doesn't have to be something I bought.……"

Seeing the sweaty female shopkeeper Si Miaomiao trying to explain, she paused with her hand and said,"Don't worry, tell us what impression you have of Huang Xiuli.?"

"Her husband often beats her, and she is not in a good mental state and looks dirty every day."The female shopkeeper frowned,"She also smells bad, but the child is quite clean. But I haven't heard the child speak. I heard that he is also mentally ill.……"

After listening to the female shopkeeper's statement, Shen Zhou and Si Miaomiao had a basic understanding of Huang Xiuli.

The two followed her past routes and asked people who occasionally saw her in the vegetable market and the park.

The comments they got were basically the same.

She looked dirty, smelled bad, and was not in a good mental state.

The most important thing was that they all mentioned that they had never heard her child speak, and they were all discussing whether the child was mute, but Huang Xiuli usually showed that she was very good to the child and took him everywhere.

Shen Zhou couldn't help but think of the neighbors around Huang Ming's house who mentioned that they heard the child crying.

So the rat poison was bought by Huang Xiuli, and she was the one who poisoned it?
