ghost in the office
Chapter 20
After sending someone to find out about Sun Yuan, Yuan Yi asked a question: "The village chief asked the family members of the three old people, and no one knows what they said, but now I think of another question."
"what is the problem?"
"According to the police records in this city at that time, the village head told them that Sun Yuan had indeed returned to her natal home, but what Cao Cao found out was that Sun Yuan should not have gone back. The disappearance of the three elderly people has nothing to do with Sun Yuan. Did the village chief tell the truth about the incident?"
Dai Ran paused for a few seconds, and decided not to notify Li You. If the police came to the island suddenly, and they called twice, it might cause panic. Now that they are on the island, they should investigate first.
Cao Cao said that he had already contacted the police station in Sun Yuan's hometown and asked them to go to Sun Yuan's house to find out if Sun Yuan had been back in recent years. The results should be available tomorrow morning.
The hour hand of the clock hanging on the wall had already pointed to nine, and they didn't feel sleepy at all. They got some information from Uncle Lu, but it was of little help to find out the whereabouts of the old people.
"Actually, I'm a little strange." Melon washed his face after eating, and resumed his usual attire. "What did the village chief say when he went to those households? After all, it was his elders who disappeared. Why didn't he call the police?" Cooperate, don't they want their old man to go back?"
The other four looked at each other a few times. It is true that the village chief created some problems in the process of finding the old people for what purpose they did not know, but why did the family members of those old people cooperate so much?
Yuan Yi contacted the incident before and after, and proposed a possibility: "Is it possible that if they cooperate with the police, the consequences will be more serious than not being able to find their family members?"
This is a bit of a mouthful, but it is actually easy to understand. For example, the consequence of not being able to find the elderly is A, but if they cooperate with the police in the investigation, the severity of the consequence will become A+n.
But what could be more serious than the disappearance of a loved one?
Dai Ran clapped his hands lightly to signal that everyone who was immersed in his own thoughts would look at him: "Well, since Sun Yuan's matter has come to us, let's investigate first. The five of us are divided into two groups, Yuan Yi and I... "
"咚咚咚" three extremely light knocking sounds accurately drilled into their ears, Dai Ran immediately stopped talking, and the room immediately fell into silence.
After waiting for a few seconds, three knocking sounds of "dong dong dong" came again. Listen carefully, it seems to be the sound from the window.
Dai Ran put his hand on his waist, and he took out the gun and pointed it at the window. Melon also made a similar movement, and gave Cao Cao a wink. Cao Cao took off his shoes and moved quietly to the window, putting his right hand on the window. He closed the handle on the window, and stood against the wall.
Raising his left hand, Dai Ran put away his fingers one by one - 3, 2, 1, Cao Cao suddenly opened the window to the right, a person's face appeared by the window, Dai Ran rushed over with a big stride, The barrel of the gun was directly attached to the forehead of that face and whispered: "Don't move."
Congee Congee and Yuan Yi planned to handcuff this man first. The window could be pulled back and forth, and it was more than enough for an adult to climb in.
The two walked to the window and were stunned together with the other three.
The people outside the window were blocked by Dai Ran's gun barrel, but they didn't feel scared at all. They got up from the window in a hurry and wiped off the dust on their clothes. They pushed their hair back and smiled at everyone: "Hello everyone!" ,meet again."
At this time, this person with a handsome face and clear eyes was actually Sandanzi who was arrested by them for running around with a knife yesterday afternoon and sent to the village committee.
Dai Ran was as surprised as the others, but it didn't show on his face, the barrel of the gun was still pointed at him, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Three Danzi, fellow policemen." Sandanzi said jokingly, then straightened his expression, and became serious, "My name is Gu Chen, and Sandanzi is my nickname."
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Chen: "Report the crime."
Dai Ran motioned Dai Ran to search Gu Chen, except for the old clothes he was wearing, Gu Chen didn't have anything on him, Dai Ran and Meigua put away the guns and asked Gu Chen to sit down.
In late autumn, the temperature was low at night, and it was very cold at night because of the proximity to the sea. Yuan Yuan saw that Gu Chen's mouth was bruised from the cold, so he poured him a cup of hot water.
"Thank you." Gu Chen didn't look like he was crazy during the day yesterday, but was very polite. He held the hot water cup in his hands and took a big sip. He took a deep breath and felt much warmer.
"Why don't you go to the police station to report the crime?" Dai Ran's eyes fell on Gu Chen's wrist, and he was getting close at this moment, the two marks looked obvious, judging from the appearance of the scar, the wound must have been quite deep at that time.
Gu Chen lowered his head, his voice was bitter and trembling: "If reporting the crime is useful, I won't wait until today."
"Let's talk about what's going on first." Dai Ran stared at Gu Chen carefully, suddenly feeling very strange, why are there so many things happening on such a small island?
Gu Chen raised his head and said seriously: "A few years ago, a woman died on this island. I saw it with my own eyes."
Sun Yuan's name appeared in everyone's minds for no reason. Yuan Yi looked into Gu Chen's eyes and asked him, "What's her name? Who killed her?"
"That person's name is Sun Yuan, and the one who killed her was——people from the entire island."
Sun Yuan's cause of death
As soon as Gu Chen said this, everyone was taken aback. No one could move their eyes away from his face. Because Cao Cao was too surprised, his mouth was wide open, and the eyes he looked at Gu Chen were no less than when he suddenly saw him stand upside down. locomotive.
Gu Chen laughed, he was still holding the cup of hot water, although the water in it was no longer warm: "Why, don't you believe me?"
Everyone is still staring at him, they don't know whether to believe it or not, because they have never considered this possibility before.
"I know you won't believe it, and that's one of the reasons why I won't report it, because no one will believe it." Gu Chen still had a smile on his face, but it was so bitter that it made people uncomfortable.
Dai Ran was the first to realize that he had been a policeman for many years, especially after the establishment of the special department of the Office, he had experienced many things that seemed unimaginable to others but actually happened.
"Can you be specific?"
Gu Chen put the cup on the table, put his hands flat on his lap, his eyes looked straight ahead, as if lost in memory.
"Five years ago, I was shortly after graduating from university. I didn't find a suitable job, so I came back to rest for a while. I had no relatives since I was a child. I was raised by one family in the village. I thought that no matter what So, I will repay them in the future, but I can't even support myself, so I was a bit frustrated during that time, wandering around the village all day long."
"I wandered here until that day." Gu Chen pointed to the land under his feet, indicating that it was here, "I saw a very young girl drying clothes in the yard, so I asked Uncle Wen if this was his relative. He said she was his son's daughter-in-law."
"But I thought Uncle Wen was lying to me..."
Yuan Yi waved his hand, indicating that he had doubts: "Why do you think so?"
"Because that girl looked at me while drying the clothes, she seemed very sad. Seeing her like that, she must have cried, her eyes were swollen, and she didn't have the joy of being married at all." Gu Chen asked the porridge pair, "Can I have another cup of hot water?"
The hot water was handed over again, and Gu Chen held the cup tightly, as if he wanted to gain some warmth from the thin heat inside the cup wall: "I sat there for a while, and after Wen Jianguo came out of it, I heard him call that girl Sun Yuan , Sun Yuan said that she was going to the canteen to buy some things, and Aunt Wen was washing vegetables by the well, but when she heard this, she immediately put down those things and said she would go with her."
"Afterwards I left. On the way back, I ran into Sun Yuan and Aunt Wen. I wanted to say hello to Aunt Wen and leave. It happened that Aunt Wen met a villager and stood aside for a few words. I never When Sun Yuan walked in front of her, she quickly stuffed something into my hand. I just stopped to ask, when Aunt Wen came over and asked me nervously what was wrong. Sun Yuan looked very nervous at that time , I turned my head and said it was nothing, just as I was about to go home, Aunt Wen immediately took Sun Yuan home, and even grabbed Sun Yuan's hand."
Gu Chen’s narration reminded them at the same time of Luo Wu’s story about meeting Sun Yuan at Wen’s house. Sun Yuan sent them a message for help by delivering food to them, so would the things she gave to Gu Chen be similar? ?
Sure enough, Gu Chen's words later immediately verified their guess: "I'll look at it when I go back, it's a small note, comrade policeman, guess what's written on it?"
Instead, they played tricks, but Yuan Yi and the others obviously didn't intend to play guessing games with Gu Chen at this time: "Help?"
This time it was Gu Chen's turn to be surprised: "You all know this?"
Of course they wouldn't tell Gu Chen about Luo Wu, they just let Gu Chen continue.
"The next thing is actually very simple. Later, I went to Wen's house a few times. The first two times, Sun Yuan was still there. The last time she went, Sun Yuan was not there. Aunt Wen said that her daughter-in-law had gone back to her mother's house."
Dai Ran didn't know what Gu Chen wanted to express by saying this, why he said that the people on the entire island killed Sun Yuan, and looked at Gu Chen with a more serious look.
"Comrade policeman, don't look at me like that. There is a reason why I said that. There is a small courtyard on this small island, which is used for conferences on the island. You may not have noticed it, and it is usually nothing."
Five people looked at me and I watched you for a round. Not only did they know this small courtyard, but they had entered it several times.
"About a week later, I went home from Fa Xiao's house after dinner. At that time, people on the island went to bed very early, and there were no people on the road, but when I passed by that small courtyard, I saw that there was light inside, no? The light is a bit like a flashlight, I looked outside, and the lock was indeed unlocked, and I heard someone talking inside, so I hid at the door and listened, guess what I heard?"
Dairan is a little impatient now, he is talking about something very important now, what is there to guess?Although the reason why Gu Chen said this might just be to enliven the atmosphere.
"The village chief said that Sun Yuan was also burned after she died. If anyone asks her in the future, they will say that she has returned to her mother's house." Gu Chen imitated the village chief's tone, and his speech became low and slow, matching his words, which sounded very gloomy .
Yuan Yi: "Do you remember what date that day was?"
Gu Chen rolled his eyes and recalled it carefully: "I returned to the island in September, that day was probably at the end of October, and I can't remember the exact date."
Yuan Yi quickly searched in his mind for the time that Luo Wu said at that time, it should also be at the end of October and the beginning of November.
When Dai Ran received Yuan Yi's hand, he immediately understood that the time Gu Chen said coincided with the time provided by Luo Wu, that is to say, the two people's words could be corroborated by each other, provided that the two hadn't communicated in advance.
However, "Even if the village chief said this, why would you say that the entire island killed Sun Yuan?"
Gu Chen pointed to his eyes and said very seriously: "My eyes tell me."
"..."
Dai Ran was really speechless, Gu Chen's thoughts were very clear, but it seemed a little abnormal.
"Later, I pretended to be casual and asked many people, including Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, the village chief, the village director, and other villagers. You know, everyone on the island knows who holds a wedding in such a small place. , but everyone I asked said that Sun Yuan had returned to her natal family, and Sun Yuan has not come back to this day." Gu Chen pointed to his eyes again, "Every time I ask people in the village, their expressions Tell me they're lying."
"What does this have to do with your pretending to be crazy?" Yuan Yi asked him suddenly. He felt that the words "pretending to be crazy" were inappropriate, but Gu Chen didn't care at all. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Who wants to be treated as a fool?" Be a lunatic, but if I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll be killed.”
"Why is this again?"
"Later, the village chief came to me and said that since what happened to Sun Yuan happened, no one would believe me even if I went to the police."
Now Dai Ran was genuinely surprised but couldn't help but wonder: "It means that the village chief knows that you suspect the cause of Sun Yuan's death?"
Gu Chen nodded: "I don't know how he knew, maybe someone saw me when I was eavesdropping outside the small courtyard that day, or maybe I was suspected later when I asked this and that, and the village chief didn't tell me, Just say that because I am a native of the island, I will not do anything to me, just let me keep my mouth shut."
"Then you pretended to be crazy to dispel their suspicions?" Congee felt that this plot was even more dramatic than the TV dramas she watched every day, and also more terrifying.
"I'm not so stupid. I pretended to be stupid for no reason. One day after I went to the city, I deliberately bumped into a car. After the village sent people to pick me up from the hospital, I pretended to be stupid by the car. They shouldn't have much doubt. Me, because I broke my leg that time, I was raised for more than half a year before I could go to the ground."
Yuan Yi thought of the knife in Gu Chen's hand: "You keep holding the knife in your hand, are you worried that someone will harm you?"
Gu Chen let out a "hmm".
Dai Ran asked blankly: "Since you've been pretending for so long and think it's useless to call the police, why did you find us here?"
Indeed, they were just a one-sided relationship.
Gu Chen raised his head, his eyes were firm: "Yesterday, after you sent me to the village committee, I heard the village head talking quietly to the director, and even looked at me a few times. I was worried that something bad would happen to me. No matter what, I will tell you the matter first, even if I encounter an accident, you can continue to investigate."
Dai Ran frowned, if what Gu Chen said was true, there would be no law at all here, and the village chief had the final say on everything, even if it was human life.
"If you need it, we can provide protection until it is determined that there is no danger."
Gu Chen shook his head: "No need, people in the village will be more suspicious if someone protects me. At worst, I'll pretend to be more crazy and stupid."
Melon and porridge looked at Gu Chen with pity. For five years, a young man in his prime had been pretending to be crazy, being hated and feared by others, just because of a stranger who had only met a few times and died unexpectedly.
Yuan Yi and Dai Ran looked at each other, and Dai Ran asked Gu Chen if there was anything else he wanted to tell them.
Gu Chen stood up and walked to the window, and quickly climbed up the window sill: "I only know so much, it's getting late, go back first, I hope you don't tell anyone that I have been here."
A leap into the darkness, and soon disappeared.
With the window closed, several people stood in the room without moving for a while, Congee sighed: "Gu Chen looks very smart, but he is very pitiful."
Luo Wu told them with certainty that Sun Yuan was dead, and Gu Chen said that he had heard the village chief say that Sun Yuan was dead and burned. However, Gu Chen's visit completely strengthened his determination to investigate the two cases together.
"Cao Cao, chase after Sun Yuan's hometown police station tomorrow morning to confirm whether Sun Yuan has been back in the past few years." Dai Ran thought for a while, and decided to determine Sun Yuan's whereabouts first, although they all felt that Sun Yuan should is gone.
"Yuan Yi and I continue to pursue the case of the disappearance of the old man. Porridge Melon and Cao Cao investigate the matter of Sun Yuan. Remember, quietly." Dai Ran looked at everyone seriously, "If you find any clues, don't startle the snake. Let's decide."
"But head, how should we proceed?" Porridge and Melon seemed very troubled, except for what Luo Wu and Gu Chen said, they couldn't find any point to investigate.
Yuan Yi smiled: "There is someone who can help us."
After a few seconds of silence, Melon also smiled: "Indeed, and just right, there are very good reasons for us to go to him again."
Cao Cao didn't respond: "Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle Lu drank a lot today, so I'm going to see him tomorrow to make sure he's okay." Yuan Yi made a suggestion, "Uncle Lu has lived on the island for so many years, how can he know something?"
Melon also agreed with this method: "Tomorrow, Yiyi and I will continue to act as a couple." While talking, he held Yuanyi's arm, and the little bird was like a human being, "See if we are compatible."
Yuan Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Okay, it's too late, go to bed." Dairan suddenly pulled Yuan Yi's arm out of Melon's hand and issued a eviction order, "Go back to the house."
Melon picked up her things dissatisfied and prepared to leave, and muttered in her mouth: "You are so stingy, one by one is not your boyfriend."
Dai Ran and Yuan Yi were startled at the same time, glanced at each other at the same time, and immediately looked away at the same time.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep.
In a basement, three old men were tied together, seemingly fainted, motionless, with clear bloodstains on their wrists.
"I don't want to treat you like this, but I can't help it. If you are not strict with your mouth, I will be the one who is unlucky."
village head
Early the next morning, Yuan Yi specifically asked Uncle Wen, and went to the big vegetable market on the island to buy fish and meat, as well as a bottle of good wine, intending to bring these things to see Uncle Lu.
Dai Ran stood aside with arms folded and watched the two of them pack up and go out, and said calmly, "I'll go too."
Melon looked at Dairan curiously: "You want to go too?"
"Yeah." Dai Ran helped Yuan Yi get things, while explaining, "I'll go and see what Uncle Lu said, and see how to carry out the work later."
This reason is quite reasonable. When relaying, it is always impossible to vividly express the expression of the person involved.
"Then what identity do you use?"
"Just say it's your elder brother, and thank him for saving you."
Half an hour later, Uncle Lu was brushing his teeth in the courtyard. The courtyard door was wide open. Someone stood at the door and tapped on the iron gate a few times: "Good morning, Uncle Lu."
Turning around, it was the young couple from yesterday.
Uncle Lu fell asleep in the dark. Not long after he woke up, he vomited once in the night and drank water. When he left the room in the morning, he saw the half bottle of Moutai left by the two of them and the neatly tidied kitchen and yard. Neighbors When he came to see him, he gave some money back, saying that it was the food money left by the two young people yesterday, so Uncle Lu had a very good impression of these two young people, and felt that they were educated and good at life, and now the two will come again , put on a smiling face all of a sudden: "Oh, you are here, come in quickly and sit down, I just got up, I drank too much yesterday."
The three entered the yard unceremoniously and closed the door. Yuan put the fish and wine brought over on the stone table. Now he put on the pair of black-rimmed glasses and smiled very politely: "Did you drink yesterday?" Too many, we didn't say hello when we left, and I came to see you specially today."
As he spoke, he introduced Dai Ran who was standing by the side to Uncle Lu, "This is my girlfriend's eldest brother. I came here to thank you specially. He also bought these things specially for you."
Uncle Lu is not interested in anything, but the bottle of white wine made his eyes disappear from laughter: "Oh, oh, you are really... so polite."
While Uncle Lu was touching the wine bottle, the three of them looked at each other, um, the plan should have worked out.
The four of them sat around the stone table. Seeing that Uncle Lu hadn't eaten breakfast, Melon took the initiative to go to the kitchen to make porridge for him, and asked Dai Ran to chat with Yuan Yi.
After breaking up a few words casually, Dai Ran said nonchalantly: "We are currently staying at Uncle Wen's and Aunt Wen's house. The two of you are really nice, but I think they work very hard and are busy all day long."
Yuan Yi answered immediately: "Yes, yes, Aunt Wen said that their son is doing business in the city, and they are the only ones at home, and there is no one to help them."
Uncle Lu, who was carefully studying the writing on the wine bottle, shook his head when he heard the words: "Their son was married before, and that girl is still very hardworking. If she is still there, the family might get rich."
"Oh? Is the girl gone?" Dai Ran asked curiously, his eyes were very blank.
Uncle Lu immediately lowered his voice: "I'm gone, I'm going back to my mother's house, everyone in the village knows about it."
"Everyone in the village knows about Uncle Wen's family getting married?"
"That's not true. In a small place like ours, when there is a wedding, the whole village will go to drink. When the Wen family asked Lao Peng to help cook, Lao Peng didn't go. Because of this, the Lao Wen family is now Look down on the Peng family."
Suddenly hearing Uncle Lu mention Lao Peng, Dai Ran and Yuan Yi were a little confused. It is certain that the Wen family has something to do with Sun Yuan's matter, so why is it related to the Peng family?
"Old Peng, is that Uncle Peng who runs the restaurant?"
Uncle Lu kept nodding: "It's him. Except for Lao Peng, Lao Zhou and Lao Liu also didn't go. On the day of the wedding, I heard the son of the Wen family scolding the three of them."
Yuan Yi's heart immediately jumped wildly. Except for Uncle Peng, the old Zhou Lao Liu he mentioned seemed to have the same surname as the missing old man he mentioned yesterday after drinking too much. Is it such a coincidence?
How to confirm that this old Zhou Lao Liu is the two old people he said were missing yesterday?
Uncle Lu said with a deep sigh of regret: "Hey, Lao Zhou and Lao Liu are good people. They are gone now, and I don't know if something happened."
Well, I can be sure, it's not a coincidence, it's those two people.
After the melon was boiled, the porridge was filled into a large bowl, and some pickles were put on it, and brought out to Uncle Lu, put it on the stone table, and told Uncle Lu to eat quickly.
Uncle Lu immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "Oh, it's a pity that my son has been married a long time ago, and even has a grandson. You are a nice girl."
Melon-like covering her face shyly: "You have won the prize."
Yuan Yi was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to Melon, while Dai Ran had goose bumps all over his body. Melon usually speaks louder than a trumpet. Although she is thin, she has great strength and high force value. He looked at this kind of shy look Very inconsistent.
Uncle Lu not only drank quickly, but also ate quickly. A large bowl of porridge was drained quickly, and he casually wiped it on his mouth. Melon quickly took the bowl and chopsticks and washed it in the sink inside.
"Hey, I'm not afraid to tell you that back then, I wasn't too happy to go to the wedding, but Lao Wen came to my house two or three times, and I was embarrassed to push it away, so I went." His wives are all in the city, so he is not very happy to let him go there, the people there are unfamiliar, and the most important thing is that it is not so convenient to drink there. Right now, he thinks that these young people are still hits.
Dai Ran rolled his eyes, and quietly turned on the recording function of the phone: "Master, how do you say that?"
Uncle Lu shook his head quickly, signaling that he should not say much, and only said: "I just don't think it's appropriate, hey, don't talk about it, you young people, why don't you have dinner at my house at noon? Look, what do you bring with you?" With so many dishes coming, even a bad old man like me can’t finish them.”
Now that it's up to this point, Uncle Lu probably won't continue to talk in depth. They don't want to chase after him, so they had a few polite words with Uncle Lu, saying that they will come to see him again in the future and then leave.
During the day, the island was crowded with people. The three planned to discuss it on the road, but they were so crowded that it was difficult for them to walk. When they returned to their place of residence, one of the pins in Melon’s hair was squeezed out.
"My God, it's crazy, there are more tourists on this small island than the Great Wall." Melon complained to Porridge, and Cao Cao came to tell them that there was news from Sun Yuan's hometown, and the brothers there visited the neighbors and childhood friends Some students said that since they said they would go to the south to work a few years ago, they never went back, and they never contacted them.
This result was within everyone's expectations. Although it was said that Sun Yuan had returned to her natal family, there was a high possibility that Sun Yuan would encounter an accident.
Uncle Lu's inadvertent words made Yuan Yi feel that there might be some internal connection between the two things they are facing now. The three missing old people were precisely the three who did not attend the wedding when Wen Jianguo and Sun Yuan got married. .
What can be the connection?
What was the reason why Uncle Peng was unwilling to be invited by the Wen family to cook?There are some clues in Uncle Lu's words, "inappropriate", what does it mean inappropriate?
From the time they went to the island until now, everyone they met, Sandanzi, Luo Wu, and Uncle Lu, said different things, but they all mentioned a person, a person who should be regarded as a key person.
San Danzi said that he had warned him that Sun Yuan had been burned as if he did not know that Sun Yuan was dead, and that Sun Yuan had returned to her natal home;
Luo Wu said that she knew from that person that Sun Yuan had returned to her mother's house, which was the same as Uncle Wen's and Aunt Wen's words;
Uncle Lu said that this person had approached the family members of the three missing elderly people, but he did not know what he said.
village head.
No matter what the story is, the role of the village chief in these matters cannot be ignored. Whether it is a positive role or a negative role, they probably have to contact the village chief.
Dai Ran obviously thought the same way. They had close contact with the village chief before, so it was impossible to contact the village chief in disguise. Moreover, from the statements of those people, it can be seen that the village chief is not like Uncle Lu. A character who is very close and can be clichéd.
Therefore, Dai Ran decided to use his real identity. The original purpose of their coming to the island was to investigate the case. Now that there are a few clues, the village chief needs to connect the clues together.
The door was kept wide open when they were talking, Uncle Wen walked towards their room slowly, Dai Ran gave Congee a wink, Congee rushed out to greet him: "Uncle Wen, what are you doing?"
Uncle Wen smiled and looked in a good mood: "That's right, there is a girl looking for you outside, I can't let her in directly, I will ask you first."
Congee Congee was curious: "Looking for us? Did she say her name?"
"It is said that the surname is Luo, but the name is not mentioned."
The girl surnamed Luo, could it be Luo Wu?
Congee looked back at Dai Ran, Dairan nodded and walked to the door, motioned Congee to go out and take a look, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one for Uncle Wen: "Uncle Wen seems to be in a good mood, is something good going on?" ?”
Uncle Wen took two deep puffs of the cigarette, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Where is that, my son called in the morning to say that he will come home to visit us this weekend and he will bring a girlfriend. If there is no accident, he will be married next year. "
Dai Ran also lit one for herself, and her smile remained unchanged: "This is a great joy, congratulations to Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen first."
"Thank you, thank you, I'm an old man who wants to hold a grandson like crazy." Uncle Wen's eyes glowed, as if the big fat grandson was about to be held in his hands.
"However." Dai Ran's smile became more obvious, looking very harmless and kind, "Last time I heard you said that there was a daughter-in-law in your family before, who didn't give birth to a grandson for you two?"
The smile stopped abruptly, and Uncle Wen lost his smile with a cigarette between his fingers: "That girl ran back to her mother's house and didn't come back, what a fart, huh."
Uncle Wen didn't want to continue chatting with Dai Ran, so he went back to work in the front yard with a cigarette in his mouth.
Looking back at the three people watching the whole process in the room, everyone knew that Uncle Wen was sure that Sun Yuan would not come back.
A few seconds later, Congee Congee came in from the door, followed by a girl, upon closer inspection it was indeed Luo Wu, but today she was wearing a pair of large sunglasses, covering most of her face.
After entering the room and taking a seat, Luo Wu took off his sunglasses to cover his hair, poured water for himself, and smiled at Yuan Yi.
Dai Ran didn't know why he just didn't like this girl, so he didn't intend to be polite, and asked straight to the point: "What are you doing here?"
Luo Wu didn't know why this policeman always had red eyebrows and green eyes towards her. She shouldn't have offended him in any way. Of course, she just didn't like him.
"Don't worry about it, I'm not here on business today, and I'm not looking for you." Luo Wu's tone was obviously very rude, "I'm here to look for Yuan Yi."
Suddenly being named, Yuan Yi was at a loss: "Looking for me?"
"Yes, it's you. Are you free this afternoon? Can you go out with me for a while." Luo Wu only stared at Yuan Yi, and asked directly.
"Uh……"
"He's not free." Dai Ran stood in front of Luo Wu. He was already much taller than Luo Wu. At this moment Luo Wu was sitting, and the way he looked down at her was rather condescending.
a kiss
These words set Luo Wu on fire. She immediately stood up with her hips on her hips. Although she was still much shorter than Dairan, she was not weak. She raised her head and stared fiercely at Dairan: "I didn't ask you."
Dai Ran lowered his head to look at Luo Wu with a half-smile, although he didn't say it clearly, but his eyes showed full of ridicule: "Now Yuan Yi is in my charge during the mission."
"That..." Yuan Yi tried to say a few words, he is also the central figure of this topic, so it is necessary to talk about his own thoughts.
"He's not the same thing, he's a person, what do you mean?" Luo Wu stared straight at Dai Ran, apparently not intending to let the person involved express his point of view.
Congee Congee and Melon Cao Cao were very close to Dai Ran, but now they have retreated to the corner. Although no one knows what happened, the two of them are at war for no reason, but they don't want to be affected by the innocent.
Dai Ran kept his movements unchanged. After all, with his height, he looked down on Luo Wu with disdain. The overwhelming advantage was obvious: "We're here on business, it's inappropriate for you to call my team members out casually."
The trio of onlookers nodded in unison. Indeed, they came here to investigate the case, a serious business.
Obviously, Luo Wu was not so easily persuaded, she still rolled her eyes at Dai Ran desperately with her hands on her hips: "I didn't delay your business, I just wanted Yuan Yi to go out with me for a few minutes."
The three of them thought for a while, then nodded in unison again. This made sense, and Yuan Yi would not delay anything if he went out with her for a few minutes.
Dai Ran felt that standing like this was a bit tiring, and he was suspected of bullying girls with his height, so he sat down on the chair, stretched his long legs and crossed them, tilted his head to look at Luo Wu, with a smile on his lips.
Yuan Yi felt that this scene was really weird, Luo Wu came to call him for some unknown purpose, if it was only for a few minutes, it would be fine for him to go out for a while, maybe there are some new clues.
But Dai Ran rejected it without even thinking about it, and even confronted Luo Wu tit for tat.
From entering this department, Dai Ran gave him the feeling that he was more like a friend he could talk to, and rarely gave him a sense of oppression from his superiors. Dai Ran also told him that the members of the team only had superior and inferior in their files and resumes. Differentiate, although he usually schedules a lot of work, the big guys are more like a family, each with their own strengths, and only by working together can they successfully complete each investigation.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Luo Wu's visit to Yuan Yi today was a trivial matter. She originally planned to ask Yuan Yi's opinion yesterday, but was dragged away by Dai Ran. She came here on purpose today.
Dai Ran suddenly put away his smile, his expressionless face was still very bluffing, especially for unfamiliar people, his eyes stared straight at the person, making people panic like being seen through, Luo Wu subconsciously went to Take a step back.
"Okay, I won't laugh, as you wish." Dai Ran nodded, "What are you looking for Yuan Yi for? I will approve him to go out with you if there is a legitimate reason."
"Uh..." Yuan Yi suddenly thought of a story he had read a long time ago. It seemed that two warriors met for a duel in order to ask the same high-class girl out.
This idea just popped up, Yuan Yi was startled, these are completely different things, the situation and nature are completely different, how can there be such an abnormal association?
The trio who were watching also stared at Luo Wu curiously. They also wanted to know why this girl was always interested in Yuan Yi.
Is it...
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the light of excitement in each other's eyes, knowing that the other two wanted to go with themselves.
The six eyes moved to Yuan Yi at the same time. Since he came to the office, they haven't looked at him so carefully.
Yuan Yi seems to be a few centimeters shorter than Dai Ran, but he is considered tall among the general public. The most important thing is that his body proportions are excellent, with smooth and graceful shoulder and neck lines, which naturally extend into the clothes from under the jawbone. The legs are long and straight, which determines that he is a natural clothes hanger, that is to say, a piece of linen cloth on him will have a sense of instant fashion icon.
Looking at the facial features, I can't tell what is outstanding just by looking at each one, but it may be that the face shape is good and the eyes are special. The combination is very suitable so that this picture
"what is the problem?"
"According to the police records in this city at that time, the village head told them that Sun Yuan had indeed returned to her natal home, but what Cao Cao found out was that Sun Yuan should not have gone back. The disappearance of the three elderly people has nothing to do with Sun Yuan. Did the village chief tell the truth about the incident?"
Dai Ran paused for a few seconds, and decided not to notify Li You. If the police came to the island suddenly, and they called twice, it might cause panic. Now that they are on the island, they should investigate first.
Cao Cao said that he had already contacted the police station in Sun Yuan's hometown and asked them to go to Sun Yuan's house to find out if Sun Yuan had been back in recent years. The results should be available tomorrow morning.
The hour hand of the clock hanging on the wall had already pointed to nine, and they didn't feel sleepy at all. They got some information from Uncle Lu, but it was of little help to find out the whereabouts of the old people.
"Actually, I'm a little strange." Melon washed his face after eating, and resumed his usual attire. "What did the village chief say when he went to those households? After all, it was his elders who disappeared. Why didn't he call the police?" Cooperate, don't they want their old man to go back?"
The other four looked at each other a few times. It is true that the village chief created some problems in the process of finding the old people for what purpose they did not know, but why did the family members of those old people cooperate so much?
Yuan Yi contacted the incident before and after, and proposed a possibility: "Is it possible that if they cooperate with the police, the consequences will be more serious than not being able to find their family members?"
This is a bit of a mouthful, but it is actually easy to understand. For example, the consequence of not being able to find the elderly is A, but if they cooperate with the police in the investigation, the severity of the consequence will become A+n.
But what could be more serious than the disappearance of a loved one?
Dai Ran clapped his hands lightly to signal that everyone who was immersed in his own thoughts would look at him: "Well, since Sun Yuan's matter has come to us, let's investigate first. The five of us are divided into two groups, Yuan Yi and I... "
"咚咚咚" three extremely light knocking sounds accurately drilled into their ears, Dai Ran immediately stopped talking, and the room immediately fell into silence.
After waiting for a few seconds, three knocking sounds of "dong dong dong" came again. Listen carefully, it seems to be the sound from the window.
Dai Ran put his hand on his waist, and he took out the gun and pointed it at the window. Melon also made a similar movement, and gave Cao Cao a wink. Cao Cao took off his shoes and moved quietly to the window, putting his right hand on the window. He closed the handle on the window, and stood against the wall.
Raising his left hand, Dai Ran put away his fingers one by one - 3, 2, 1, Cao Cao suddenly opened the window to the right, a person's face appeared by the window, Dai Ran rushed over with a big stride, The barrel of the gun was directly attached to the forehead of that face and whispered: "Don't move."
Congee Congee and Yuan Yi planned to handcuff this man first. The window could be pulled back and forth, and it was more than enough for an adult to climb in.
The two walked to the window and were stunned together with the other three.
The people outside the window were blocked by Dai Ran's gun barrel, but they didn't feel scared at all. They got up from the window in a hurry and wiped off the dust on their clothes. They pushed their hair back and smiled at everyone: "Hello everyone!" ,meet again."
At this time, this person with a handsome face and clear eyes was actually Sandanzi who was arrested by them for running around with a knife yesterday afternoon and sent to the village committee.
Dai Ran was as surprised as the others, but it didn't show on his face, the barrel of the gun was still pointed at him, and he asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
"Three Danzi, fellow policemen." Sandanzi said jokingly, then straightened his expression, and became serious, "My name is Gu Chen, and Sandanzi is my nickname."
"What are you doing here?"
Gu Chen: "Report the crime."
Dai Ran motioned Dai Ran to search Gu Chen, except for the old clothes he was wearing, Gu Chen didn't have anything on him, Dai Ran and Meigua put away the guns and asked Gu Chen to sit down.
In late autumn, the temperature was low at night, and it was very cold at night because of the proximity to the sea. Yuan Yuan saw that Gu Chen's mouth was bruised from the cold, so he poured him a cup of hot water.
"Thank you." Gu Chen didn't look like he was crazy during the day yesterday, but was very polite. He held the hot water cup in his hands and took a big sip. He took a deep breath and felt much warmer.
"Why don't you go to the police station to report the crime?" Dai Ran's eyes fell on Gu Chen's wrist, and he was getting close at this moment, the two marks looked obvious, judging from the appearance of the scar, the wound must have been quite deep at that time.
Gu Chen lowered his head, his voice was bitter and trembling: "If reporting the crime is useful, I won't wait until today."
"Let's talk about what's going on first." Dai Ran stared at Gu Chen carefully, suddenly feeling very strange, why are there so many things happening on such a small island?
Gu Chen raised his head and said seriously: "A few years ago, a woman died on this island. I saw it with my own eyes."
Sun Yuan's name appeared in everyone's minds for no reason. Yuan Yi looked into Gu Chen's eyes and asked him, "What's her name? Who killed her?"
"That person's name is Sun Yuan, and the one who killed her was——people from the entire island."
Sun Yuan's cause of death
As soon as Gu Chen said this, everyone was taken aback. No one could move their eyes away from his face. Because Cao Cao was too surprised, his mouth was wide open, and the eyes he looked at Gu Chen were no less than when he suddenly saw him stand upside down. locomotive.
Gu Chen laughed, he was still holding the cup of hot water, although the water in it was no longer warm: "Why, don't you believe me?"
Everyone is still staring at him, they don't know whether to believe it or not, because they have never considered this possibility before.
"I know you won't believe it, and that's one of the reasons why I won't report it, because no one will believe it." Gu Chen still had a smile on his face, but it was so bitter that it made people uncomfortable.
Dai Ran was the first to realize that he had been a policeman for many years, especially after the establishment of the special department of the Office, he had experienced many things that seemed unimaginable to others but actually happened.
"Can you be specific?"
Gu Chen put the cup on the table, put his hands flat on his lap, his eyes looked straight ahead, as if lost in memory.
"Five years ago, I was shortly after graduating from university. I didn't find a suitable job, so I came back to rest for a while. I had no relatives since I was a child. I was raised by one family in the village. I thought that no matter what So, I will repay them in the future, but I can't even support myself, so I was a bit frustrated during that time, wandering around the village all day long."
"I wandered here until that day." Gu Chen pointed to the land under his feet, indicating that it was here, "I saw a very young girl drying clothes in the yard, so I asked Uncle Wen if this was his relative. He said she was his son's daughter-in-law."
"But I thought Uncle Wen was lying to me..."
Yuan Yi waved his hand, indicating that he had doubts: "Why do you think so?"
"Because that girl looked at me while drying the clothes, she seemed very sad. Seeing her like that, she must have cried, her eyes were swollen, and she didn't have the joy of being married at all." Gu Chen asked the porridge pair, "Can I have another cup of hot water?"
The hot water was handed over again, and Gu Chen held the cup tightly, as if he wanted to gain some warmth from the thin heat inside the cup wall: "I sat there for a while, and after Wen Jianguo came out of it, I heard him call that girl Sun Yuan , Sun Yuan said that she was going to the canteen to buy some things, and Aunt Wen was washing vegetables by the well, but when she heard this, she immediately put down those things and said she would go with her."
"Afterwards I left. On the way back, I ran into Sun Yuan and Aunt Wen. I wanted to say hello to Aunt Wen and leave. It happened that Aunt Wen met a villager and stood aside for a few words. I never When Sun Yuan walked in front of her, she quickly stuffed something into my hand. I just stopped to ask, when Aunt Wen came over and asked me nervously what was wrong. Sun Yuan looked very nervous at that time , I turned my head and said it was nothing, just as I was about to go home, Aunt Wen immediately took Sun Yuan home, and even grabbed Sun Yuan's hand."
Gu Chen’s narration reminded them at the same time of Luo Wu’s story about meeting Sun Yuan at Wen’s house. Sun Yuan sent them a message for help by delivering food to them, so would the things she gave to Gu Chen be similar? ?
Sure enough, Gu Chen's words later immediately verified their guess: "I'll look at it when I go back, it's a small note, comrade policeman, guess what's written on it?"
Instead, they played tricks, but Yuan Yi and the others obviously didn't intend to play guessing games with Gu Chen at this time: "Help?"
This time it was Gu Chen's turn to be surprised: "You all know this?"
Of course they wouldn't tell Gu Chen about Luo Wu, they just let Gu Chen continue.
"The next thing is actually very simple. Later, I went to Wen's house a few times. The first two times, Sun Yuan was still there. The last time she went, Sun Yuan was not there. Aunt Wen said that her daughter-in-law had gone back to her mother's house."
Dai Ran didn't know what Gu Chen wanted to express by saying this, why he said that the people on the entire island killed Sun Yuan, and looked at Gu Chen with a more serious look.
"Comrade policeman, don't look at me like that. There is a reason why I said that. There is a small courtyard on this small island, which is used for conferences on the island. You may not have noticed it, and it is usually nothing."
Five people looked at me and I watched you for a round. Not only did they know this small courtyard, but they had entered it several times.
"About a week later, I went home from Fa Xiao's house after dinner. At that time, people on the island went to bed very early, and there were no people on the road, but when I passed by that small courtyard, I saw that there was light inside, no? The light is a bit like a flashlight, I looked outside, and the lock was indeed unlocked, and I heard someone talking inside, so I hid at the door and listened, guess what I heard?"
Dairan is a little impatient now, he is talking about something very important now, what is there to guess?Although the reason why Gu Chen said this might just be to enliven the atmosphere.
"The village chief said that Sun Yuan was also burned after she died. If anyone asks her in the future, they will say that she has returned to her mother's house." Gu Chen imitated the village chief's tone, and his speech became low and slow, matching his words, which sounded very gloomy .
Yuan Yi: "Do you remember what date that day was?"
Gu Chen rolled his eyes and recalled it carefully: "I returned to the island in September, that day was probably at the end of October, and I can't remember the exact date."
Yuan Yi quickly searched in his mind for the time that Luo Wu said at that time, it should also be at the end of October and the beginning of November.
When Dai Ran received Yuan Yi's hand, he immediately understood that the time Gu Chen said coincided with the time provided by Luo Wu, that is to say, the two people's words could be corroborated by each other, provided that the two hadn't communicated in advance.
However, "Even if the village chief said this, why would you say that the entire island killed Sun Yuan?"
Gu Chen pointed to his eyes and said very seriously: "My eyes tell me."
"..."
Dai Ran was really speechless, Gu Chen's thoughts were very clear, but it seemed a little abnormal.
"Later, I pretended to be casual and asked many people, including Uncle Wen, Aunt Wen, the village chief, the village director, and other villagers. You know, everyone on the island knows who holds a wedding in such a small place. , but everyone I asked said that Sun Yuan had returned to her natal family, and Sun Yuan has not come back to this day." Gu Chen pointed to his eyes again, "Every time I ask people in the village, their expressions Tell me they're lying."
"What does this have to do with your pretending to be crazy?" Yuan Yi asked him suddenly. He felt that the words "pretending to be crazy" were inappropriate, but Gu Chen didn't care at all. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "Who wants to be treated as a fool?" Be a lunatic, but if I don’t, I’m afraid I’ll be killed.”
"Why is this again?"
"Later, the village chief came to me and said that since what happened to Sun Yuan happened, no one would believe me even if I went to the police."
Now Dai Ran was genuinely surprised but couldn't help but wonder: "It means that the village chief knows that you suspect the cause of Sun Yuan's death?"
Gu Chen nodded: "I don't know how he knew, maybe someone saw me when I was eavesdropping outside the small courtyard that day, or maybe I was suspected later when I asked this and that, and the village chief didn't tell me, Just say that because I am a native of the island, I will not do anything to me, just let me keep my mouth shut."
"Then you pretended to be crazy to dispel their suspicions?" Congee felt that this plot was even more dramatic than the TV dramas she watched every day, and also more terrifying.
"I'm not so stupid. I pretended to be stupid for no reason. One day after I went to the city, I deliberately bumped into a car. After the village sent people to pick me up from the hospital, I pretended to be stupid by the car. They shouldn't have much doubt. Me, because I broke my leg that time, I was raised for more than half a year before I could go to the ground."
Yuan Yi thought of the knife in Gu Chen's hand: "You keep holding the knife in your hand, are you worried that someone will harm you?"
Gu Chen let out a "hmm".
Dai Ran asked blankly: "Since you've been pretending for so long and think it's useless to call the police, why did you find us here?"
Indeed, they were just a one-sided relationship.
Gu Chen raised his head, his eyes were firm: "Yesterday, after you sent me to the village committee, I heard the village head talking quietly to the director, and even looked at me a few times. I was worried that something bad would happen to me. No matter what, I will tell you the matter first, even if I encounter an accident, you can continue to investigate."
Dai Ran frowned, if what Gu Chen said was true, there would be no law at all here, and the village chief had the final say on everything, even if it was human life.
"If you need it, we can provide protection until it is determined that there is no danger."
Gu Chen shook his head: "No need, people in the village will be more suspicious if someone protects me. At worst, I'll pretend to be more crazy and stupid."
Melon and porridge looked at Gu Chen with pity. For five years, a young man in his prime had been pretending to be crazy, being hated and feared by others, just because of a stranger who had only met a few times and died unexpectedly.
Yuan Yi and Dai Ran looked at each other, and Dai Ran asked Gu Chen if there was anything else he wanted to tell them.
Gu Chen stood up and walked to the window, and quickly climbed up the window sill: "I only know so much, it's getting late, go back first, I hope you don't tell anyone that I have been here."
A leap into the darkness, and soon disappeared.
With the window closed, several people stood in the room without moving for a while, Congee sighed: "Gu Chen looks very smart, but he is very pitiful."
Luo Wu told them with certainty that Sun Yuan was dead, and Gu Chen said that he had heard the village chief say that Sun Yuan was dead and burned. However, Gu Chen's visit completely strengthened his determination to investigate the two cases together.
"Cao Cao, chase after Sun Yuan's hometown police station tomorrow morning to confirm whether Sun Yuan has been back in the past few years." Dai Ran thought for a while, and decided to determine Sun Yuan's whereabouts first, although they all felt that Sun Yuan should is gone.
"Yuan Yi and I continue to pursue the case of the disappearance of the old man. Porridge Melon and Cao Cao investigate the matter of Sun Yuan. Remember, quietly." Dai Ran looked at everyone seriously, "If you find any clues, don't startle the snake. Let's decide."
"But head, how should we proceed?" Porridge and Melon seemed very troubled, except for what Luo Wu and Gu Chen said, they couldn't find any point to investigate.
Yuan Yi smiled: "There is someone who can help us."
After a few seconds of silence, Melon also smiled: "Indeed, and just right, there are very good reasons for us to go to him again."
Cao Cao didn't respond: "Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle Lu drank a lot today, so I'm going to see him tomorrow to make sure he's okay." Yuan Yi made a suggestion, "Uncle Lu has lived on the island for so many years, how can he know something?"
Melon also agreed with this method: "Tomorrow, Yiyi and I will continue to act as a couple." While talking, he held Yuanyi's arm, and the little bird was like a human being, "See if we are compatible."
Yuan Yi couldn't laugh or cry.
"Okay, it's too late, go to bed." Dairan suddenly pulled Yuan Yi's arm out of Melon's hand and issued a eviction order, "Go back to the house."
Melon picked up her things dissatisfied and prepared to leave, and muttered in her mouth: "You are so stingy, one by one is not your boyfriend."
Dai Ran and Yuan Yi were startled at the same time, glanced at each other at the same time, and immediately looked away at the same time.
It was late at night and everyone was asleep.
In a basement, three old men were tied together, seemingly fainted, motionless, with clear bloodstains on their wrists.
"I don't want to treat you like this, but I can't help it. If you are not strict with your mouth, I will be the one who is unlucky."
village head
Early the next morning, Yuan Yi specifically asked Uncle Wen, and went to the big vegetable market on the island to buy fish and meat, as well as a bottle of good wine, intending to bring these things to see Uncle Lu.
Dai Ran stood aside with arms folded and watched the two of them pack up and go out, and said calmly, "I'll go too."
Melon looked at Dairan curiously: "You want to go too?"
"Yeah." Dai Ran helped Yuan Yi get things, while explaining, "I'll go and see what Uncle Lu said, and see how to carry out the work later."
This reason is quite reasonable. When relaying, it is always impossible to vividly express the expression of the person involved.
"Then what identity do you use?"
"Just say it's your elder brother, and thank him for saving you."
Half an hour later, Uncle Lu was brushing his teeth in the courtyard. The courtyard door was wide open. Someone stood at the door and tapped on the iron gate a few times: "Good morning, Uncle Lu."
Turning around, it was the young couple from yesterday.
Uncle Lu fell asleep in the dark. Not long after he woke up, he vomited once in the night and drank water. When he left the room in the morning, he saw the half bottle of Moutai left by the two of them and the neatly tidied kitchen and yard. Neighbors When he came to see him, he gave some money back, saying that it was the food money left by the two young people yesterday, so Uncle Lu had a very good impression of these two young people, and felt that they were educated and good at life, and now the two will come again , put on a smiling face all of a sudden: "Oh, you are here, come in quickly and sit down, I just got up, I drank too much yesterday."
The three entered the yard unceremoniously and closed the door. Yuan put the fish and wine brought over on the stone table. Now he put on the pair of black-rimmed glasses and smiled very politely: "Did you drink yesterday?" Too many, we didn't say hello when we left, and I came to see you specially today."
As he spoke, he introduced Dai Ran who was standing by the side to Uncle Lu, "This is my girlfriend's eldest brother. I came here to thank you specially. He also bought these things specially for you."
Uncle Lu is not interested in anything, but the bottle of white wine made his eyes disappear from laughter: "Oh, oh, you are really... so polite."
While Uncle Lu was touching the wine bottle, the three of them looked at each other, um, the plan should have worked out.
The four of them sat around the stone table. Seeing that Uncle Lu hadn't eaten breakfast, Melon took the initiative to go to the kitchen to make porridge for him, and asked Dai Ran to chat with Yuan Yi.
After breaking up a few words casually, Dai Ran said nonchalantly: "We are currently staying at Uncle Wen's and Aunt Wen's house. The two of you are really nice, but I think they work very hard and are busy all day long."
Yuan Yi answered immediately: "Yes, yes, Aunt Wen said that their son is doing business in the city, and they are the only ones at home, and there is no one to help them."
Uncle Lu, who was carefully studying the writing on the wine bottle, shook his head when he heard the words: "Their son was married before, and that girl is still very hardworking. If she is still there, the family might get rich."
"Oh? Is the girl gone?" Dai Ran asked curiously, his eyes were very blank.
Uncle Lu immediately lowered his voice: "I'm gone, I'm going back to my mother's house, everyone in the village knows about it."
"Everyone in the village knows about Uncle Wen's family getting married?"
"That's not true. In a small place like ours, when there is a wedding, the whole village will go to drink. When the Wen family asked Lao Peng to help cook, Lao Peng didn't go. Because of this, the Lao Wen family is now Look down on the Peng family."
Suddenly hearing Uncle Lu mention Lao Peng, Dai Ran and Yuan Yi were a little confused. It is certain that the Wen family has something to do with Sun Yuan's matter, so why is it related to the Peng family?
"Old Peng, is that Uncle Peng who runs the restaurant?"
Uncle Lu kept nodding: "It's him. Except for Lao Peng, Lao Zhou and Lao Liu also didn't go. On the day of the wedding, I heard the son of the Wen family scolding the three of them."
Yuan Yi's heart immediately jumped wildly. Except for Uncle Peng, the old Zhou Lao Liu he mentioned seemed to have the same surname as the missing old man he mentioned yesterday after drinking too much. Is it such a coincidence?
How to confirm that this old Zhou Lao Liu is the two old people he said were missing yesterday?
Uncle Lu said with a deep sigh of regret: "Hey, Lao Zhou and Lao Liu are good people. They are gone now, and I don't know if something happened."
Well, I can be sure, it's not a coincidence, it's those two people.
After the melon was boiled, the porridge was filled into a large bowl, and some pickles were put on it, and brought out to Uncle Lu, put it on the stone table, and told Uncle Lu to eat quickly.
Uncle Lu immediately opened his eyes and smiled: "Oh, it's a pity that my son has been married a long time ago, and even has a grandson. You are a nice girl."
Melon-like covering her face shyly: "You have won the prize."
Yuan Yi was thinking about something and didn't pay attention to Melon, while Dai Ran had goose bumps all over his body. Melon usually speaks louder than a trumpet. Although she is thin, she has great strength and high force value. He looked at this kind of shy look Very inconsistent.
Uncle Lu not only drank quickly, but also ate quickly. A large bowl of porridge was drained quickly, and he casually wiped it on his mouth. Melon quickly took the bowl and chopsticks and washed it in the sink inside.
"Hey, I'm not afraid to tell you that back then, I wasn't too happy to go to the wedding, but Lao Wen came to my house two or three times, and I was embarrassed to push it away, so I went." His wives are all in the city, so he is not very happy to let him go there, the people there are unfamiliar, and the most important thing is that it is not so convenient to drink there. Right now, he thinks that these young people are still hits.
Dai Ran rolled his eyes, and quietly turned on the recording function of the phone: "Master, how do you say that?"
Uncle Lu shook his head quickly, signaling that he should not say much, and only said: "I just don't think it's appropriate, hey, don't talk about it, you young people, why don't you have dinner at my house at noon? Look, what do you bring with you?" With so many dishes coming, even a bad old man like me can’t finish them.”
Now that it's up to this point, Uncle Lu probably won't continue to talk in depth. They don't want to chase after him, so they had a few polite words with Uncle Lu, saying that they will come to see him again in the future and then leave.
During the day, the island was crowded with people. The three planned to discuss it on the road, but they were so crowded that it was difficult for them to walk. When they returned to their place of residence, one of the pins in Melon’s hair was squeezed out.
"My God, it's crazy, there are more tourists on this small island than the Great Wall." Melon complained to Porridge, and Cao Cao came to tell them that there was news from Sun Yuan's hometown, and the brothers there visited the neighbors and childhood friends Some students said that since they said they would go to the south to work a few years ago, they never went back, and they never contacted them.
This result was within everyone's expectations. Although it was said that Sun Yuan had returned to her natal family, there was a high possibility that Sun Yuan would encounter an accident.
Uncle Lu's inadvertent words made Yuan Yi feel that there might be some internal connection between the two things they are facing now. The three missing old people were precisely the three who did not attend the wedding when Wen Jianguo and Sun Yuan got married. .
What can be the connection?
What was the reason why Uncle Peng was unwilling to be invited by the Wen family to cook?There are some clues in Uncle Lu's words, "inappropriate", what does it mean inappropriate?
From the time they went to the island until now, everyone they met, Sandanzi, Luo Wu, and Uncle Lu, said different things, but they all mentioned a person, a person who should be regarded as a key person.
San Danzi said that he had warned him that Sun Yuan had been burned as if he did not know that Sun Yuan was dead, and that Sun Yuan had returned to her natal home;
Luo Wu said that she knew from that person that Sun Yuan had returned to her mother's house, which was the same as Uncle Wen's and Aunt Wen's words;
Uncle Lu said that this person had approached the family members of the three missing elderly people, but he did not know what he said.
village head.
No matter what the story is, the role of the village chief in these matters cannot be ignored. Whether it is a positive role or a negative role, they probably have to contact the village chief.
Dai Ran obviously thought the same way. They had close contact with the village chief before, so it was impossible to contact the village chief in disguise. Moreover, from the statements of those people, it can be seen that the village chief is not like Uncle Lu. A character who is very close and can be clichéd.
Therefore, Dai Ran decided to use his real identity. The original purpose of their coming to the island was to investigate the case. Now that there are a few clues, the village chief needs to connect the clues together.
The door was kept wide open when they were talking, Uncle Wen walked towards their room slowly, Dai Ran gave Congee a wink, Congee rushed out to greet him: "Uncle Wen, what are you doing?"
Uncle Wen smiled and looked in a good mood: "That's right, there is a girl looking for you outside, I can't let her in directly, I will ask you first."
Congee Congee was curious: "Looking for us? Did she say her name?"
"It is said that the surname is Luo, but the name is not mentioned."
The girl surnamed Luo, could it be Luo Wu?
Congee looked back at Dai Ran, Dairan nodded and walked to the door, motioned Congee to go out and take a look, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and lit one for Uncle Wen: "Uncle Wen seems to be in a good mood, is something good going on?" ?”
Uncle Wen took two deep puffs of the cigarette, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Where is that, my son called in the morning to say that he will come home to visit us this weekend and he will bring a girlfriend. If there is no accident, he will be married next year. "
Dai Ran also lit one for herself, and her smile remained unchanged: "This is a great joy, congratulations to Uncle Wen and Aunt Wen first."
"Thank you, thank you, I'm an old man who wants to hold a grandson like crazy." Uncle Wen's eyes glowed, as if the big fat grandson was about to be held in his hands.
"However." Dai Ran's smile became more obvious, looking very harmless and kind, "Last time I heard you said that there was a daughter-in-law in your family before, who didn't give birth to a grandson for you two?"
The smile stopped abruptly, and Uncle Wen lost his smile with a cigarette between his fingers: "That girl ran back to her mother's house and didn't come back, what a fart, huh."
Uncle Wen didn't want to continue chatting with Dai Ran, so he went back to work in the front yard with a cigarette in his mouth.
Looking back at the three people watching the whole process in the room, everyone knew that Uncle Wen was sure that Sun Yuan would not come back.
A few seconds later, Congee Congee came in from the door, followed by a girl, upon closer inspection it was indeed Luo Wu, but today she was wearing a pair of large sunglasses, covering most of her face.
After entering the room and taking a seat, Luo Wu took off his sunglasses to cover his hair, poured water for himself, and smiled at Yuan Yi.
Dai Ran didn't know why he just didn't like this girl, so he didn't intend to be polite, and asked straight to the point: "What are you doing here?"
Luo Wu didn't know why this policeman always had red eyebrows and green eyes towards her. She shouldn't have offended him in any way. Of course, she just didn't like him.
"Don't worry about it, I'm not here on business today, and I'm not looking for you." Luo Wu's tone was obviously very rude, "I'm here to look for Yuan Yi."
Suddenly being named, Yuan Yi was at a loss: "Looking for me?"
"Yes, it's you. Are you free this afternoon? Can you go out with me for a while." Luo Wu only stared at Yuan Yi, and asked directly.
"Uh……"
"He's not free." Dai Ran stood in front of Luo Wu. He was already much taller than Luo Wu. At this moment Luo Wu was sitting, and the way he looked down at her was rather condescending.
a kiss
These words set Luo Wu on fire. She immediately stood up with her hips on her hips. Although she was still much shorter than Dairan, she was not weak. She raised her head and stared fiercely at Dairan: "I didn't ask you."
Dai Ran lowered his head to look at Luo Wu with a half-smile, although he didn't say it clearly, but his eyes showed full of ridicule: "Now Yuan Yi is in my charge during the mission."
"That..." Yuan Yi tried to say a few words, he is also the central figure of this topic, so it is necessary to talk about his own thoughts.
"He's not the same thing, he's a person, what do you mean?" Luo Wu stared straight at Dai Ran, apparently not intending to let the person involved express his point of view.
Congee Congee and Melon Cao Cao were very close to Dai Ran, but now they have retreated to the corner. Although no one knows what happened, the two of them are at war for no reason, but they don't want to be affected by the innocent.
Dai Ran kept his movements unchanged. After all, with his height, he looked down on Luo Wu with disdain. The overwhelming advantage was obvious: "We're here on business, it's inappropriate for you to call my team members out casually."
The trio of onlookers nodded in unison. Indeed, they came here to investigate the case, a serious business.
Obviously, Luo Wu was not so easily persuaded, she still rolled her eyes at Dai Ran desperately with her hands on her hips: "I didn't delay your business, I just wanted Yuan Yi to go out with me for a few minutes."
The three of them thought for a while, then nodded in unison again. This made sense, and Yuan Yi would not delay anything if he went out with her for a few minutes.
Dai Ran felt that standing like this was a bit tiring, and he was suspected of bullying girls with his height, so he sat down on the chair, stretched his long legs and crossed them, tilted his head to look at Luo Wu, with a smile on his lips.
Yuan Yi felt that this scene was really weird, Luo Wu came to call him for some unknown purpose, if it was only for a few minutes, it would be fine for him to go out for a while, maybe there are some new clues.
But Dai Ran rejected it without even thinking about it, and even confronted Luo Wu tit for tat.
From entering this department, Dai Ran gave him the feeling that he was more like a friend he could talk to, and rarely gave him a sense of oppression from his superiors. Dai Ran also told him that the members of the team only had superior and inferior in their files and resumes. Differentiate, although he usually schedules a lot of work, the big guys are more like a family, each with their own strengths, and only by working together can they successfully complete each investigation.
"Hey, what are you laughing at?" Luo Wu's visit to Yuan Yi today was a trivial matter. She originally planned to ask Yuan Yi's opinion yesterday, but was dragged away by Dai Ran. She came here on purpose today.
Dai Ran suddenly put away his smile, his expressionless face was still very bluffing, especially for unfamiliar people, his eyes stared straight at the person, making people panic like being seen through, Luo Wu subconsciously went to Take a step back.
"Okay, I won't laugh, as you wish." Dai Ran nodded, "What are you looking for Yuan Yi for? I will approve him to go out with you if there is a legitimate reason."
"Uh..." Yuan Yi suddenly thought of a story he had read a long time ago. It seemed that two warriors met for a duel in order to ask the same high-class girl out.
This idea just popped up, Yuan Yi was startled, these are completely different things, the situation and nature are completely different, how can there be such an abnormal association?
The trio who were watching also stared at Luo Wu curiously. They also wanted to know why this girl was always interested in Yuan Yi.
Is it...
The three of them looked at each other, and they all saw the light of excitement in each other's eyes, knowing that the other two wanted to go with themselves.
The six eyes moved to Yuan Yi at the same time. Since he came to the office, they haven't looked at him so carefully.
Yuan Yi seems to be a few centimeters shorter than Dai Ran, but he is considered tall among the general public. The most important thing is that his body proportions are excellent, with smooth and graceful shoulder and neck lines, which naturally extend into the clothes from under the jawbone. The legs are long and straight, which determines that he is a natural clothes hanger, that is to say, a piece of linen cloth on him will have a sense of instant fashion icon.
Looking at the facial features, I can't tell what is outstanding just by looking at each one, but it may be that the face shape is good and the eyes are special. The combination is very suitable so that this picture
