The village chief's body was unexpectedly "complete."

The so-called "integrity" means that unlike the death methods of Guo Jianping and Yang Cheng, when the village chief died, there were no corpses of broken snakes in the house.

He seemed to have lost his breath suddenly. This method of death gave rise to speculation that he might be suddenly killed. At that time, the village head's wife who first discovered that the village head had lost his breath also had such an idea. However, she did not wait for her to cry. Then the village chief's body began to rot and rot at the speed seen by the naked eye, with a rotting stench. A slender, reddish snake slowly crawled out of the village chief's mouth.

After Song Ji made a statement that the body is still relatively complete, He Mingde, who was about to spit out, covered his mouth and said, "You call this complete?"

Lu Chu and Li Jiapeng are also uncomfortable.

Song Guidao: "At least it hasn't turned into blood."

Everyone was silent, remembering the tragic death of Yang Cheng, and he felt even heavier.

The village chief's daughter-in-law saw several members of Song Ji, who was about to kick them out. He was blocked by Song Ji's phrase, "I don't want more people to cooperate." Wang Po's words at that time were vividly remembered, saying that the dead were inevitable, maybe a village could not escape such a miserable end.

What if she is one ...

So despite her unwillingness, she chose to listen to Wang Po and let these people look at it. I just remembered the dead husband, and the tears still kept falling. Although the couple usually quarreled or even started directly because of various things, it was good to live together for most of their lives. After that, they were completely old, and the children did not care about them. It's not that their two old things are dependent on each other, look after each other, and then go early to enjoy the blessing, and stay and continue to miss the years in memory.

Although the village chief's body was unexpectedly "complete", several people still don't know how to look at the body, or there is no clue on the severely festering body.

For now, clues can only be found in photos.

The village chief's body did not move anymore, and the rest was given to his family. Soon, someone carried a wooden coffin and packed the village chief's body in. According to local customs, after a person dies, he will not be buried first. He must be buried in the main hall of Bulingtang, an empty coffin, and buried three days later. The deceased was large, and most people hoped that he would be safe.

Song Gui, holding the villager's daughter-in-law's resentful eyes, calmly took out a photo and asked, "Please be sad, we will find the killer as soon as possible, no matter whether it is a person or a ghost. In addition, may I ask, have you seen this on the photo? Girl? "

The village chief's daughter-in-law was unwilling to take the picture and looked at it for a while, then paused: "This ... Isn't this the teacher Guo Lin's first daughter-in-law, Lin Lin?"

This is in line with the speculation of Lu Chu and Song Gui, and by the way let them know the name of Lin Jian, Guo Jianping's ex-wife.

So Song Gui took another photo and asked, "What about this person?"

This time, the village head and daughter-in-law thought for a long time, and looked suspiciously at the crowd: "This is also our village. At that time, Mr. Guo was married shortly and started to continue to lecture in the village. She belongs to the group of people who listened to the class ... … Why, she also took a photo with Teacher Guo? "

Lu Chu heard pensive thoughts.

Song Gui raised an eyebrow: "Where is this girl now?"

The village head's daughter-in-law recalled a moment and said, "I moved out of our village twenty years ago. She is still a distant relative in my family ..."

Speaking of the village chief, she choked a little bit again: "What the **** has this done ..."

Lu Chu and Song Gui looked at each other. Lu Chu said, "Sister-in-law, don't be sad, we must give you a word. Can you tell us the girl's name, and when did she move out?"

The village chief's wife said: "The name ... I do n’t remember the name. There are more juniors in the village, but I and her are not serious relatives. I remember that they are called Cui Meier ... These days, it was not long before Lin Lin ran away, and Guo Jianping had not married Wei Rong. "

"Thank you," Song Ji continued. "Then we'll check elsewhere and bother."

The village chief's daughter-in-law said nothing, wiped the corner of her eyes and went to the main hall, kneeling beside the coffin.

——————

It was almost late at night, and several people returned to Lu's house. In order to avoid accidents, they cancelled their plans to go out again.

The people gathered in the partial room and sat down around the wooden table on the bed.

Song Gui asked: "Everyone, what do you think?"

Lu Chudao: "Guo Jianping has problems."

Qi Li took a deep look at Lu Chu and said, "A second opinion."

After Li Jiapeng rubbed his hair and messed it up, he said, "I feel like I'm mentally out of order now. Don't say anything, I just think I'm dreaming, or a dream that I can't wake up ! "

"Hey--" He Mingde sighed. "I'm a bit confused, too. Brother Lu, let me have some guesses."

Lu Chu took out the two photos, sorted out his thoughts, and slowly said, "I found this photo from the book Guo Jianping used to teach on the podium. I have heard my grandma tell the story of that time before you , I heard that his first wife looks good, and although the man and woman in the photo did not do intimate moves, they have an ambiguous meaning that is unclear and unclear; plus a man will take a photo with a woman It ’s a problem to carry it in the most commonly used books. Therefore, I was guessing whether this would be Guo Jianping ’s first wife. Now it seems my guess is wrong, but I believe my instinct The ambiguous atmosphere of these two men is not false, which means that Guo Jianping did not have a deep affection for his first wife as the legend said. "

Song Gui nodded: "I think so."

"And," Lu Chu continued, "Wei Rong didn't respond to seeing the picture of 'Cui Meier'. It was reasonable, after all, they might not have met before, but she didn't quite react to seeing 'Lin Lin'. . "

"No?" Li Jiapeng said, "Is there anything wrong ... I remember she was yelling."

"It's totally wrong." Lu Chudao, "In the version we heard of, 'Lin Lin' left the village 20 years ago. It is said that he ran away with the rich, so Wei Rong was able to take the position. If so, Even if Wei Rong is crazy, she should be jealous, disdainful, and even jealous when she sees the photos. "

Song Ji touched his chin, then said to Lu Chu: "But she didn't. Although she yelled, she not only did not have jealousy, but more extreme fear and fear."

"Maybe there is something unclear about pity." Lu Chu said lightly.

"Pity?" He Mingde asked, "Why?"

"I don't know." Lu Chu shook his head. "The problem now is that what happened 20 years ago is not like what others have told us, but what is the fact and where is the person who knows the fact? Things. "

Li Jiapeng slumped on the bed, covering his eyes with his arms, and said dumbly, "I want to go home now."

He Mingde was silent.

Song Guidao said: "We will go to Wei Rong tomorrow. If we can't catch someone in the village, we will ask, and we can always ask for something."

Lu Chu glanced at him and shook his head and said, "If you catch someone, you can only ask if there is no way to go. After all, we don't have that much time to persuade everyone to cooperate with us. Now the villagers may be hiding like a plague We now know that Lin Lin's family moved out of the village after she ran away with the rich, and it was hard to find. Wei Rong's parents passed away, and other relatives only sent her meals every day. Maybe they could Ask some news. In fact, what I want to know most now is, does anyone know where the Cui Meier is going now? "

He Mingde frowned: "She? I feel hanging ..."

"Why do you want to know?" Li Jiapeng asked. "Why do I think the news from Wei Rong is more important."

"Because I have a guess," Lu Chu said, "Remember that in the story that others told us, after the marriage of Guo Jianping and Wei Rong, it was okay at first, but then he started to run to the city. Then everyone rumored that he was See 'Lin Lin who ran and returned with rich people'? According to the timeline of 'Cui Meier' 'moving out of the village with the two, I suspect that if he went to see people, he might not see Lin Lin, but' Cui Meier '. "

Song Gui nodded: "What you said makes sense, but we have no evidence yet."

"So I said it was just a guess. Everything will have to wait until tomorrow."

Song Gui sighed: "Then let go, let's talk tomorrow."

"I ... I have something to say ..." Li Jiapeng stammered as soon as he heard it.

He Mingde said: "Say something straight."

"I dare not sleep alone." Li Jiapeng was really frightened, dragging He Mingde's clothes, his voice was a little shaking, "Don't dare to sleep with anyone, just in case ... I mean in case, and I slept together as a 'ghost' ... "

"Then what do you want to do?"

"Otherwise, let's four plus Lu Chu, sleep in a room ..." After he said, he quickly said, "I can hit the floor!"

Song Ji pondered for a moment and said: "I think it's okay. At present, we are relatively safe together. Based on my experience of watching horror movies for many years, acting alone is equivalent to getting a lunch."

Li Jiapeng smiled bitterly: "Can you stop making horror movies at this time? It's not funny at all."

So they lived in a room.

Lu Chu asked Grandma Lu. There was a folding single bed in the utility room at the same height as the old sofa. The sofa and the folding bed were put together, and barely two adult men could lie down. The beds in the village are large, and three adults can lie on the beds. In this way, five people will not need to make a floor.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Song Ji, He Mingde, and Li Jiapeng were squeezed on the big bed, and Lu Chu and Qi Li were squeezed on the sofa and the single bed.
