Chapter 6 Bamboo Forest

Many flowers and plants are planted in the community where Li Manshui lives, among which bamboo is the most, especially next to those single-family villas, there are a lot of bamboo planted.

Xu Jian always felt that he had to go to the bamboo forest where the box was buried. There was no clue at all just by looking at the corpse and the wooden box. child.

Not to mention that this is unrealistic, he will definitely be arrested by the police as a mental patient, and most importantly, does the family who killed the child really live here?

Xu Jian thought about it a lot, and finally decided to find the answer himself.

At around nine in the morning, the rain finally stopped.Xu Jian and Li Manshui greeted each other and hurried out.What happened last night obviously made Li Manshui very low-spirited, so he replied angrily, and fell asleep on the sofa again.

Xu Jian ran to the bamboo forest where the box was buried last night, and searched for it.

After a night of heavy rain, most of the deep pit dug out has been covered by soil, but compared to the surrounding flat land, this pit still looks very abrupt.

Xu Jian thought about it and decided not to move it.

But there is nothing else here except this pit.

Bamboo... Bamboo... Is the clue in the bamboo?

Xu Jian raised his head and looked at the stretches of bamboo forest here, no matter how he looked at it, they were just ordinary bamboos.

There was a small gravel road paved among the bamboo groves, and Xu Jian walked along this road.

At the end are some single-family small villas connected together, Xu Jian walked over one by one, trying to see if he could find any strange places.

There are some very ordinary houses in front of them. In some courtyards, people are watering flowers, drying clothes, teasing dogs, and feeding chickens... until the last family, which is different from the rest. When I woke up, I always felt a little less angry.

There is a large stone tank full of water in the yard, and most people use it to raise fish, but there is nothing in it, only the full moss that has grown up because it has not been taken care of for a long time, and there are still some floating on the water. The dead flying insects are simply a tank of stagnant water.The water tank should have been filled with flowers and plants, but now they are all withered and yellow.If it weren't for the freshly washed clothes hanging on the hangers outside, anyone would have thought it was a long-abandoned villa.

The most important thing is that the bamboo here is dead.Generally, bamboo has a long lifespan and is easy to feed. It is not a problem to survive for half a century or even longer.

This place is weird.

Xu Jian was thinking about what reason he should use to knock on the door and ask questions so as not to appear obtrusive. Would people suspect him if he said he was checking the water meter?

There was a sudden quarrel through the door.

"If it wasn't for you, why would there be no child! Why didn't you listen to the persuasion and insist on going!"

"I didn't... I didn't expect this to happen, it wasn't my fault, it really wasn't my fault! I didn't mean to... No no..."

"roll!"

As soon as Xu Jian heard this, he knew in his heart that what happened to the baby last night was most likely related to this family.

But before she could come up with a reason to knock on the door to ask questions, the neighbor next door opened her mouth.

The aunt next door was at ease feeding the chickens in the yard. After hearing the quarrel, she chatted with Xu Jian: "Oh, why are these young couples quarreling again? Do you want to live your life if you quarrel every day? It's so annoying early in the morning." Hearing this makes me feel bad."

Xu Jian quickly answered and asked: "Yes, but why do they quarrel every day? It sounds like it has something to do with children."

The aunt put on a mysterious look, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the woman has a sister who has been missing since she was a child and came back a few days ago. Naturally, the sisters have been separated for many years and they are going to meet each other." , but since the first meeting, she went to that sister's house almost every day, and she didn't stop when she was pregnant. Her husband didn't like a pregnant woman who didn't take good care of the baby every day, so he advised her to stay at home and go to get together occasionally, but This woman refused to listen! As a result, when she came back halfway, it suddenly rained heavily. She fell on the road and lost her child! Are you talking about committing crimes or not? After that, the couple quarreled every day , can't stop for a moment."

Xu Jian was a little strange, and asked: "Then her sister hasn't been here?"

Auntie frowned and thought for a while before she affirmed: "No! You said that her sister said she wanted to get together, but she just let a pregnant woman run around all day, and she didn't know how to send her back when it rained. I think Hey, he's not a nice guy either!"

Xu Jian thought that having a gossip neighbor would come in handy sometimes, but he just didn't want to have one.

But the information obtained in these few short sentences is still limited after all.

Who is the woman's sister?Why does she keep asking women to come to her house?Since the child fell down because of the rain, how could the body be buried in the soil in the box?And who buried the corpse?

All kinds of doubts lingered in Xu Jian's heart and couldn't go away.

"Li Manshui, Li Manshui! Wake up! Is the pig still asleep?" Xu Jian shook Li Manshui awake as soon as he returned.

"What are you doing, talk well and don't do anything!" Li Manshui was awakened from a sound sleep, and at this moment, he dared not speak out, but a wave of resentment appeared on his face.

Xu Jian described to her the information and questions he had received, and asked, "What do you think?"

Li Manshui nodded: "It seems that the box we dug out last night is not yet sure who buried it. Should we find a way to confirm it first? I always think this is very important."

Xu Jian agreed: "Indeed."

"So have you figured out any way to prove it?" Li Manshui sat slumped on the sofa, as if he was about to fall asleep again.

Xu Jian looked at the time and showed a fox-like smile: "We have dinner and go to work, now let's take a good rest."

Li Manshui fell asleep immediately after hearing her words.

At around six o'clock in the evening, people in the community came out for a walk to digest their food. Li Manshui hid behind the bamboo forest, looked at Xu Jian who ran back, was dumbfounded, and cursed softly: "Are you sick? This is what you think?? Do you want to meet your uncle???"

I can only lament that Xu Jian's brain circuit is really incomprehensible, she actually put the vermilion wooden box containing the fetal corpse directly at the door of someone's house.

Li Manshui felt that if this was discovered, the two of them would go to the police station for tea tonight.

"This method is the most convenient and direct, so watch carefully." Xu Jian snorted, not caring about Li Slowhui cursing beside him.

"Oh, what is this thing, blocking people from walking!" With this familiar voice, Xu Jian sighed in his heart: Auntie, you are such a godly assist!

"Xiao Zhang, is this something that someone gave to your family? Why didn't you take it in at the door? It's because it's blocking the way. The black man couldn't see the danger and made him fall!" The neighbor's aunt shouted loudly, and the villa The door also opened in response.

A pale and haggard woman's face was revealed.

"Does Xiao Zhang belong to your family? Take it in quickly!"

The woman named Xiao Zhang stepped forward to take the wooden box, feeling a little strange, she muttered to herself: "No one has sent me a courier recently, this is..." The next second, she opened the wooden box with her hands. box.

"Ah!!!" The neighbor aunt and the woman screamed at the same time.

"This... this... who is so wicked to give this kind of thing! I'm afraid it will shorten my life!!!" The aunt turned her head and ran away in fright.

Xu Jian rushed out from the bamboo grove, straightened his clothes by the way, pretended that he happened to pass by, and asked, "What's the matter? Oh, why do you make this kind of thing? It's to attract ghosts." Ah!" Xu Jian looked curious and frightened.

After hearing this, the woman's complexion seemed to get worse, and her lips trembled a little. She held the box and burst into tears: "It's my child! This must be my child! I'm the one who's sorry for you!!" Then she passed out on the ground.

The commotion outside was too loud, and the hostess inside also heard it, and what he saw was his wife holding a vermilion wooden box and passed out on the ground. The corpse of the fetus that fell into the wooden box was particularly eye-catching.

Before he could open his mouth to question, Xu Jian said: "People outside have a lot of talk, so can we come in and talk about it?" The man hesitated for a moment, and nodded when he saw that the people walking around seemed to stop and look around agreed.

Xu Jian helped to lift up the fainted woman, looked at the wooden box on the ground and the body of the fetus that fell out, silently took out the handkerchief in his pocket, wrapped it up and put it back in the box.

"The little girl still has a clean freak!"

Auntie, you talk a little too much...Xu Jian didn't respond to her on the surface, but he was actually complaining crazily in his heart.

After several people entered the house, Li Manshui, who was still hiding in the bamboo forest, couldn't help thinking about his life: "What am I doing here today, feeding mosquitoes?"

In the villa, the man put his wife on the sofa and greeted them, "Sit down."

Xu Jian gently placed the wooden box on the table, pointed to the fetal corpse inside, and asked, "Is this really your child?"

The man shook his head when he heard this, and recalled: "Our child... I lost it a few months ago. It's probably a prank... It must be that woman! That woman with a vicious heart! If it weren't for her, how could our child not be there? !” His tone suddenly became surprisingly angry, and his eyes became fierce.

Xu Jian cautiously suggested: "If you need help, I have connections with the police station at home, you can..."

The man interrupted her directly: "It's useless, how can we call the police without evidence."

"If possible, please tell me the ins and outs of the matter, maybe I can help. Look at this thing appearing at your door now, it's hard to say, in case someone deliberately provokes strange things to harm you Human lives. Even if you don’t spare your lives, the neighbors still have to live on.” Xu Jian gave full play to her eloquence and vowed to make the man speak.

"Yeah, this little girl is right!" The neighbor's aunt nodded vigorously in agreement.

The man sighed and compromised: "Back then..."

Back then, when the woman was a little girl, she had a biological elder sister. The two grew up and were inseparable. They had a particularly deep relationship. Whoever had something must share half of it with the other.But on an ordinary afternoon, my sister suddenly disappeared.The little girl waited for her at home for a long time, from dusk to night, but she still couldn't wait for her sister to return. Her parents searched all day long but couldn't find any clues, so they had to give up in the end.

It has been more than [-] years, but my sister came back on a rainy night.

When she heard that her sister was back, the woman was naturally happy, and ran to her house almost every day, even after she became pregnant, she didn't stop until she had a miscarriage on a rainy night.

"Then may I ask, have you ever visited her sister?" Xu Jian was puzzled.

"No, I don't know where she lives at all, and my wife refuses to tell me, saying that she doesn't want me to trouble her." The man scratched his hair irritably.

During the conversation, the woman who had been unconscious woke up. After hearing what she said, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "It's really not my sister's fault. This is our family matter. We will take care of it ourselves. You guys... please go back. I am disturbed today." I'm really sorry to everyone." Although the woman spoke very politely, it was obvious that she meant to chase someone away, even though Xu Jian wanted to ask more questions, she had no choice but to give up and left the villa.

"Some people are really wolf-hearted. Don't drive people away when you are kind enough to help. I don't care about this kind of thing next time!" After the neighbor's aunt came out, she was quite angry, feeling that her kindness had been taken as Nosy.

Xu Jian was in a dead end at the moment, the woman refused to speak, she couldn't find out where her older sister lived, and there was no way to start the matter, should she ask someone for help?

"Bah!" Thinking of this, Xu Jian suddenly spat empty-handedly. Even though she was not exceptionally talented in this area, she was by no means inferior to others. She didn't believe that she couldn't find out and asked that person for help.

Another night, Xu Jian was sitting on the sofa looking up various information about bamboo. She still felt that this matter had something to do with bamboo, but she didn't know how it was related.

"When bamboo blooms, people and animals move; when bamboo blooms, the dead destroy their homes. Bamboo..."

"Oh, it's so noisy!" Before Xu Jian finished reading, he was interrupted by Li Slowshui cursing.

She glanced at Li Manshui with dissatisfaction, and Li Manshui quickly explained: "Ah, go ahead, I didn't mention you, but the crow outside the window, it keeps screaming, it's so noisy!"

It was only then that Xu Jian noticed that there were indeed birds chirping outside, hoarse and shrill, and the sound was endless, it must be a crow.

"There is an old saying that if a crow flies over its head, there will be disasters! Although I used to be a staunch materialist, but now I have experienced these things, I think some old sayings can still be listened to. In order not to let this crow harm Let's think of a way to roast it, so we won't hear the cry." Li Manshui began to come up with bad ideas.

Xu Jian ignored her bunch of weird thoughts, and suggested: "Since crows are said to be an ominous omen, isn't this incident enough to be unknown? Maybe this is God's reminder to us, we have to Good at picking up all the clues. Go, get out."

"I'm afraid I'm going to see a ghost again tonight. If you suggest it, nothing good will happen." Li Manshui followed Xu Jian out with an expression of "you are happy, don't worry about my life or death".
