ICS Homicide Tracking

Yan Ran wandered outside the village for a while, seeing that the villagers guarding the gate were indeed different from yesterday, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, they are organized and disciplined."

Before he approached, the villagers at the door had noticed him and kept staring at him.

Yan Ran took out the notes and map prepared in advance, and slowly approached the village.

"Hey! Stop!" Immediately someone stopped Yanran who was about to approach, he looked up and down at the stranger in front of him, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Yan Ran took out his student ID card, showed the notebook and map in his hand, and said, "I am a student of University A. The buildings in your village are quite unique, so I want to do a simple interview and photo shoot. .”

As he spoke, he looked left and right at the villagers at the door, and then asked, "Can't you enter the village?"

The villager who asked the question looked at Yanran suspiciously, lowered his head and began to check his student ID card. The major written on it was obviously not an ancient building, so he asked, "You said you came to see the building?"

Yan Ran immediately explained: "Brother, I am a student of the Astronomy Department of University A and a member of the ancient cultural club. Our school has a club recruiting new students, so I have to take advantage of this summer vacation to collect some materials."

As he said that, he pointed to the few houses he could see and said, "Most of the old houses in City Jia have been demolished. I also searched for a long time before I found your place."

When it came to the demolition, the faces of the few people present were not good. The man in charge of the question scolded very directly: "Isn't it the fault of those who forget their origins? The things left by the ancestors are said to be abandoned. Just give up."

After all, he looked at Yanran and saw that he was indeed a student at his age, although he couldn't understand what was drawn in this notebook, but it seemed to be all architectural things, so there should be no problem , So he said: "You stand at the door for a while, I will go in and ask our village chief."

Yan Ran nodded immediately, and said very politely, "Brother, please!"

Seeing the man walking into the village, Yan Ran made another note in his mind. If there is discipline in this village, then the village head should be the one who manages the discipline.

Yan Ran didn't wait too long, a middle-aged man who looked forty or fifty came out, and the first thing he said was to let him leave, "Young man, I don't care what your purpose is here, our village doesn't accept you. Outsiders, if you want to see some ancient buildings, look elsewhere."

As the village chief said, he returned Yanran's ID notebook to him? He turned his head and warned the gatekeeper to keep an eye on Yanran and leave.

"Village chief, can't you be more accommodating?" Yan Ran asked again, looking into the village enthusiastically.

There was a commotion at the gate of the village, and people from the village came to watch the commotion, but what they said the most was to make Yan Ran leave quickly.

Yan Ran pursed her lips and did not back down.Before he came, he guessed that this method might not work, so he prepared a second plan, but the second plan was a bit risky, so it was not necessary. He really didn't want to use it.

"Village head!" Yan Ran yelled to stop the village head who was about to leave, and he hushed everyone who was making noise.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yan Ran clenched his teeth and asked loudly, "Village Chief, I'm not here to interview. I'm here to find relatives. Her name is Sun Ting. May I ask if she is here?"

As soon as Yan Ran finished speaking, the villagers were in an uproar. Everyone, including the village chief, looked at a woman in the crowd.

Sun Ting's neck tightened when her name was called, she immediately turned her head to look at her husband, and quickly explained: "Brother Ping, I don't know him?!"

Why is this person talking nonsense for no reason? Living in Yuanjia Village is hard enough for her, but she can no longer have relationships with people outside the village.

So Sun Ting asked loudly: "Who are you? I really don't know you!"

She was remarried to Yuanjia Village. Because she is a widow, people in the village have never looked at her seriously. If gossip is spread again, will she still be alive?

Yan Ran took out a watch from his pocket and said, "I'm Ren Yong's nephew, I'm here to visit you!"

Sun Ting's eyes widened in disbelief, and she strode towards Yan Ran, took the watch from his hand, and caressed it tremblingly. This was indeed the watch that Ren Yongsheng had been wearing all the time. The watch was bought by her for Ren Yong when the two of them got married.

"Why is this watch with you?" Sun Ting looked at Yan Ran nervously. She didn't know much about her ex-husband. She didn't even see Ren Yong's last face. She only knew about him. It was to save people from dying.

Yan Ran didn't say anything, but looked at the surrounding villagers and asked in a low voice, "Isn't it inconvenient for us to talk here?"

Sun Ting turned to look at her husband, gritted her teeth, and said, "This? This is my natal family."

Then, regardless of other people's eyes, she brought Yanran into Yuanjia Village, and even pushed her husband away who came to stop him.

"Usually you say what you say, but this time listen to me!"

Yuan Ping saw that his usually honest wife suddenly lost her temper and flirted with him in front of so many people. He was dissatisfied and cursed at the people watching: "What are you looking at? Your family is no better than mine. Good service!"

After scolding, he walked home with a very ugly face, he wanted to see what the origin of this little boy is today.

After Sun Ting brought him home, she cautiously pulled Yan Ran into the kitchen, and reminded her in a low voice: "I think you are also a smart kid, don't mention that you are from Ren Yong's family."

Yan Ran nodded knowingly, "Then what should I call my aunt?"

Sun Ting thought for a while and said, "Call me auntie! I already told you that you are from my mother's family."

After finishing speaking, she then asked, "What's your relationship with Ren Yong?"

Just as Yan Ran was about to speak, he saw a figure flash past outside the kitchen. His first instinct was that the villagers followed him, and he immediately shut up and stopped talking.

Sun Ting also had a bad premonition? She walked lightly to the door and said in a low voice, "Who's outside?"

Yan Ran recalled that his acting skills at the gate of the village were not very good, but he couldn't be exposed immediately. The villagers outside found him so soon?

Thinking about it, Yan Ran looked at the kitchen knife on the table, thinking about him? If he was really exposed, a weapon in his hand would rush out after a while.

He? Was thinking about the hand holding the kitchen knife? He stopped suddenly, "No, if you hurt someone with this, Shihan will definitely be in trouble."

Thinking, he switched to a rolling pin for self-defense, and slowly approached the door.

Sun Ting is not as cautious as Yan Ran. If she is really targeted by the villagers, she will be in trouble, and she will just wait to be splashed with dirty water by them?

She strode out of the kitchen, there was no one else outside the door, but a little girl squatting in the corner choosing vegetables.

Sun Ting walked towards the girl very unhappy, and asked, "You were at the door just now?"

The girl nodded, pointed at the dish in front of her and whispered, "Make lunch."

The girl's voice was very low, as if she didn't dare to speak loudly in front of Sun Ting.

Sun Ting gave her a hard look, and warned: "You didn't hear anything we said just now, do you know?"

The girl nodded timidly, and shrank even tighter, holding the green vegetables in her hand tightly, not daring to move.

Seeing that there was only a little girl outside the door, Yan Ran quickly put down the rolling pin and walked out, stopped between Sun Ting and the girl, smoothed things over and said: "The little girl is still young, auntie, don't scare her."

Due to the presence of outsiders, Sun Ting only said a few words about her daughter without swearing at anyone. Hearing Yan Ran's words, Sun Ting looked away with disdain and led him to the living room.

Before leaving, Yan Ran secretly turned around and said to the little girl, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person."

But the girl didn't listen to what she said at all, and backed away even more frightened, and fled into the kitchen in a hurry. When she passed the threshold, she accidentally fell to the ground, and the skin on her little hands was scratched.

Yan Ran originally wanted to check the wound, but the girl seemed very afraid of him, so she got up and closed the kitchen door, not letting him approach.

"What's going on?" Yan Ran pondered. He didn't look so vicious, so why is the child so afraid of him?

Sun Ting walked for a while, but seeing that Yan Ran didn't keep up, when she turned back, she saw her daughter falling down, and said, "She is my little daughter, she is afraid of being born?"

Yan Ran hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry, I scared her."

But his heart is full of doubts, no, it's not like this, the girl's eyes are not the panic of being afraid of making a face, but real fear.

Could it be that something about him stimulated her?

Sun Ting said indifferently: "The wild children in the country are very rough, and they will be fine in two days."

As she spoke, she asked again: "You still haven't told me what the relationship between you and Ren Yong is. I've never heard Ren Yong talk about him? And a nephew?"

Yanran suddenly remembered that he didn't finish what he said before, and immediately explained: "My mother said that my grandfather's family was not rich, so she was sent to foster care. It's just that my grandfather passed away some time ago. As a daughter, my mother still went back to worship. In the mourning hall I didn’t see my uncle, but I found out after asking about it that my uncle had passed away.”

As he spoke, he sighed regretfully, "After all, you used to be my aunt, so I came to see you."

"This? How..." No matter what Sun Ting said, she was older than Yan Ran. After eating a few more years of salt, and staying in this village for a long time, she was fascinated by it, and she became more vigilant, so she asked a few more questions. , "Yeah, after all, she was also the daughter-in-law of the Ren family, so I still have to go back to worship when I have time. Where is your grandfather buried? It should be near his hometown!"

Yan Ran's mind turned quickly, and he immediately realized that this was Sun Ting's temptation, and replied: "It's in my hometown, on the hillside of Qingyang Town, where the Ren family's ancestral grave is located."

Ren Yong's hometown, Sun Ting, knew about it, so she immediately replied after seeing Yan Yan, and asked again: "Aside from your mother, who else has been fostered?"

Yan Ran shook his head, "Before my mother was fostered, there was only my uncle in the family. After being fostered, I didn't know about it. There were quite a few people at the funeral, and after so many years of separation, I couldn't recognize any relatives."

Yan Ran's answers were fluent, as if these things were all from his own experience, which made Sun Ting lose her doubts for the time being.

"Now you've seen me too. If there's nothing else, I'll send you out!" Sun Ting really didn't doubt Yan Ran, but? The village doesn't like outsiders coming in, and now there might be a bunch of people standing outside, Just waiting to drive Yanran out.

Yan Ran rubbed his belly in embarrassment, and said, "Auntie, can I stay for a meal? Your place is too remote, I searched for a long time before I found it, and there is no convenience store nearby, so I haven't eaten for a long time."

He must stay in this place. Sun Ting just said that the little girl who fell was the youngest daughter, so she is Yuan Xiaoxiao, who has been abused.

The author has something to say: Neighbor's child: My mother said, you are a weirdo!

Xiao Yanran: I'm not!

Neighbor's Kid: Not a weirdo?Then how can you see unclean things, we can't see them, you are a weirdo!

Xiao Yanran: I'm not a weirdo!I can only see elves, my mother said, being kind or not has nothing to do with whether my eyes can see or not!

Neighbor's child: Return the elf!What you see is a ghost!The ghost that a person turns into after death will come to you to claim your life!My mother said, playing with you, sooner or later you will be haunted by evil spirits!

Xiao Yanran: They are not bad people!

(Xiao Yanran was so anxious that he wanted to cry, and suddenly covered his eyes with one hand. Xiaohan stood behind Xiao Yanran, preventing him from seeing these non-speaking children.)

Xiaohan (looking at the neighbor's child very unhappy): Xiaoran is right, kindness has nothing to do with eyes, but has something to do with mouth, you don't learn what you should say, and you say more than anyone else when you shouldn't say it , also taught by aunt?

(Because of his good studies, Xiaohan has a high status among the children in the neighborhood)

Neighbor's child: Brother Shihan, I'm sorry, I was wrong!

Xiao Han: You are sorry for Xiao Ran, so apologize to him.

Neighbor's kid (reluctantly): Yan Ran, I'm sorry!
