dead person

The road in Shizi Village cost a lot of the town's budget.It's approaching the end of the year, so I have to make a note and report it.

Early in the morning, the mayor entered the village with a camera and several people from the police station.

A group of people crossed the newly built road, and the mayor went through all the drafts he had memorized by heart, and then walked around the village with the camera team contentedly.

The only fly in the ointment is that the village seems a little deserted, and the villagers don't like to join in the fun.

After walking for a while, Liu Ming, who was originally sent by the police station to make up the number of people, gradually frowned.There are few families in this village, why are there three with white flags hanging at the door?

And judging from the fineness of the white banner, it was obvious that it was hung only recently.The elder brother who was carrying the camera also felt panicked after hearing the faint cry, and his hands couldn't help shaking.

This Shizi Village shouldn't be here.He thought silently in his heart, every time there was a white flag hanging at the door, he would walk two steps faster and want to skip past.

But Liu Ming quietly touched in front of him, and whispered to him: "Brother Zheng, you will record a few more of these people with white banners in a while, and cut it for me when you go back."

"I..." Zheng Heng's face was full of embarrassment, and the refusal in his mouth quickly changed his words after Liu Ming stuffed the pack of cigarettes, "Isn't this just a matter of my convenience, look at you, see me outside Already."

Liu Ming smiled, pointed to those courtyard walls and walked to the end of the line alone.

Du Guoquan leaned on the crutch in his hand, wobbled from the small attic and waited on the side of the road, waiting for those people to come to him.

Sure enough, the mayor almost walked all over the village, and finally saw a figure, and quickly rushed towards the figure with a large army.

"Old man, are you from this village?"

Du Guoquan turned his eyes around the group of people, and stared blankly at the black thing coming towards him.

The mayor quickly explained with a smile: "Old man, don't be afraid, we are from the town. I am the mayor of this town. Didn't your Shizi Village suddenly collapsed a while ago? Isn't this thinking of serving the people? For the sake of welfare, hurry up and fix the road for you before the year."

Du Guoquan still looked at the camera without saying a word, and Zheng Heng turned the camera to the hands they were holding in embarrassment to avoid his gaze.

"Old man?" Seeing that he didn't speak, the mayor raised his voice a little bit, and the smile on his face was a little stiff.This... he is still recording video, this guy is too...

If you don't know the four words of current affairs, you can't say it.Even if I think about it in my heart, I can only skip it like a superficial, without leaving the slightest trace in front of the camera.

"Mayor... How is the mayor..." Du Guoquan let go of his hand, said such a sentence without thinking, and then closed his mouth again.

Zheng Heng quickly turned off the camera, leaned into the mayor's ear and said, "Mayor, I heard people say that people in Shizi Village are not quite right. Just withdraw."

Zheng Heng's proposal hit the mayor's heart, he glanced at the old man in front of him, the two put on a big smile side by side, and clicked a photo.

In the photo, Du Guoquan still had a straight face, looking at the front with a serious face.The mayor looked at the photo and then at Du Guoquan's appearance, he clicked his tongue and didn't bother to bother.

The camera crew followed the mayor further and further away, but Liu Ming stayed where he was.Ever since he saw Du Guoquan just now, he never took his eyes off him.

He carefully looked at each of his expressions, and waited until the mayor and the others walked away before pulling a smiling face and approaching.

"Uncle, I want to ask you about someone." He thought carefully about the name of the young man he helped to check at the police station before. "Du Changyuan is also from your village. Have you heard of it?"

Du Guoquan's expression froze, and he turned to look at Liu Ming's uniform: "Who are you?"

"Me? Uncle, just call me Xiao Liu. I'm the little policeman at the police station in this town. It's not easy to meet someone who is about my age in such a place, and I just want to chat with him for a while."

Du Guoquan lowered his eyes, and tapped his index finger twice on the crutch in his hand: "He, he left after a few days after he came back. It seems that he is talking about work, and I am an old man who doesn't understand."

"Oh..." Liu Ming did not expect to hear such an answer.Generally, those who return home from other places have to wait until the new year to go out no matter how urgent the work is.

He's only been back for a few days.

"Then where is his house? They left something there when they went to the police station last time. I took it with me when I came this time, and said it happened to be returned."

The young man in front of him had clean facial features and a sincere tone. Du Guoquan was a little at a loss for a while. No matter how young the policeman was, he couldn't bring the policeman to the house of a dead family.

"Why bother you to make this trip, you give me the things, and I'll hand them over to them later."

As if Liu Ming didn't understand his refusal, he grinned and showed two small canine teeth and smiled: "Uncle, what did you say, we do this to serve the people, it's not a trouble, you just Show me the way and I'll go there myself."

Du Guoquan, who couldn't get rid of it, sighed, lowered his head and wiped away the tears that didn't exist in the corner of his eyes: "It's a long story about their family. When I came back a few days ago, there was a lot of excitement in the village." God. I don’t know why, the day he left, his mother committed suicide by taking medicine.”

"what?"

"After that, our village encountered a landslide. In order to clear the road, his father must have been in a trance after being hit. He slipped and fell off the cliff beside the road..."

"This..." Liu Ming was a little dazed, this is too coincidental.It just so happened that his parents died as soon as he came back.

"Then, does Du Changyuan know about this?"

Du Guoquan shook his head: "I probably don't know. He has been living outside these years, and we can't contact him."

"When I entered the village just now, I saw several houses with white flags hanging. What are they?"

"They?" Du Guoquan raised his head and looked back at the village, "Hey, you young people don't know that the most sad thing for us elderly people is the end of the new year."

He stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction of the door of Du Changsheng's house: "That family died of a sudden illness."

He pointed to his pierced ears again: "Did you hear that cry too? That family also quarreled with his wife a few days ago and wanted to run away from home. The road at the entrance of the village is not easy to walk. When it fell on a rock, it disappeared on the spot..."

Liu Ming's heart was quite broken, it would be too easy without two words.

He licked the corner of his lips and asked Du Guoquan, "Uncle, how many people are left in your village?"

"Sixteen." This number was almost blurted out, causing Liu Ming to look at him again.

"Uncle, what is the location of Chang Yuan's family? At least we met once, I want to pay my respects..."

Du Guoquan pointed in the direction of Changhong's house, and saw the little policeman thank the mayor and chase after them.

He squinted his eyes at the mayor who was walking at the front of the line, and said silently, "Hello, mayor...

By the time Liu Ming caught up with the large army, the mayor had already finished his tour of the village and was about to bring the large army back to town.After entering the village for so long, no one came out to say hello to them, and he also found it strange and boring.

Why can't he, the mayor of the town, knock on the door and come over.

Liu Ming tugged on Zheng Heng's sleeve, and then called out Brother Zheng twice, until Zheng Heng's goosebumps all over his body.

Zheng Hengman reluctantly got out of the car: "What are you doing again?"

"Thank you Brother Zheng, Brother Zheng, you are so kind. I just wanted to go to a friend's house to take a look and shoot a short video, and I will treat you to dinner later."

Zheng Heng said helplessly to the mayor, and watched the car drive out of the village helplessly. He forgot Liu Ming powerlessly: "Let's go, let's go back early."

"Come on! Brother Zheng, don't be afraid. I'll take you with my beloved motorcycle and take you home in person."

Zheng Heng gave him a blank look, but didn't answer, and walked behind him with a dead camera.

The word "unhappy" was written on his face, and Liu Ming couldn't help touching the tip of his nose with some guilt, and walked beside him: "Brother Zheng, guess how many houses there are in this village?" personal?"

Zheng Heng sighed lightly: "27 houses, no matter what, there must be thirty or forty people."

"Building 27? Brother Zheng, you are really good. You only know so much after walking around the village, but I can tell you that I have received reliable information. There are only sixteen people in this village now."

"Sixteen?"

Liu Ming pretended to be mysterious and nodded to divert Zheng Heng's attention.Zheng Heng is notoriously timid in the town, and he would not dare to ask him to enter such a yard.

Sure enough, Zheng Heng didn't even look at the white flag hanging at the gate of the courtyard, and followed him into the courtyard. After walking into the courtyard, he didn't forget to add: "Is it true that everyone in this village has gone to other places to work?" ah……"

"Who knows. Brother Zheng, we are here, turn on the phone and help me record the whole yard for me, don't miss any details."

"Hearing what you said, why do I think what you did was the same as a murder scene?" Zheng Heng kept his mouth open, and his hands didn't stop at all.As far as this camera work is concerned, he is the leader in their town.

He walked along the courtyard wall with the camera in his arms, pushed the courtyard door and closed it, took pictures of the scratches and iron chains on the back of the door lock, and took pictures of every part of the courtyard, including the dark mark on the door.

Finally, he followed Liu Ming into those unlocked rooms.

"No, didn't you say this is your friend's house? They don't even lock the door?" Zheng Heng pushed open the door in front of him with his index finger, and saw Liu Ming rummaging through things in the room with his head buried.

"Ahem..." He coughed twice, then turned his back quickly, "Xiao Liu, your friend is not at home, it's against the law for you to rummage things like this."

Liu Ming threw down the useless things in his hands, his eyes were clear: "Don't worry, brother, all of them are dead, and the only one left may not come back in a short time."
