Chapter 2 Chapter 1 "The Burial Man"

Because it is the summer vacation, playing basketball has become the best choice for us children in the big courtyard. On the basketball court, we wore military trousers and green canvas rubber shoes, all of us were shirtless, and we were not afraid of heatstroke under the scorching sun.Just as I was about to shoot, there was a burst of bicycle bells, and then Hei Yazi shouted loudly: "Old Tofu was bullied, and the gang from No. 3 High School beat him up and said they wanted to pull out the flag. " Both Hei Yazi and Lao Doufu are descendants of soldiers who lived in that small building.We are a group of people, because our family backgrounds are similar and we go to the same middle school, so we naturally huddled together.Because of our sense of superiority, we were very xenophobic at the time. We always felt that those children from ordinary working families, or even those from small businessmen, were not worthy of talking to us, so we didn’t get along very well with our classmates. is childish.At that time, at the age of fourteen or fifteen, the male hormones in the body had already begun to be secreted, and it was easy to fight over various things.Because we have a large number of people and are relatively close together, once something happens, the compound is the best safe haven, so fighting outside has become commonplace.For a while, our group fought with all kinds of people all day long, from inside and outside the school, and it seemed that we never got tired of it.Of course, our parents and elders seldom know our situation outside the compound.

It's not the first time Lao Doufu has been beaten, not because he has a good personality and is easy to be bullied, but because he likes to "make friends".He has a high vision, and most of the girls he finds are beautiful, and he has more than one sex at the same time.Pretty girls are the most likely to cause group fights among men, especially our half-children.Hearing the news that Lao Doufu was beaten again, everyone didn't take it seriously, and they were used to it for a long time.But our brother was being bullied, we couldn't stand by and watch, so we threw down the basketball and got together.

"Who did it?" The person who asked this question was Chang Jun. His grandfather was the chief of staff of a certain group army. He was the highest-ranking parent in our group. He was the leader of our group. With his physique and black hands, he does have this strength. "Shrimp from No. 3 Middle School. Lao Doufu was beaten until it changed color." Hei Yazi meant that Lao Doufu had been beaten into panda eyes. Although the injury was not serious, it was extremely embarrassing. "Damn it, Xiazi dared to beat our man, damn it, where is he? We beat him up." Chang Jun roared viciously.

"Old Tofu said that he took a dozen people to take pictures with Lili in Huatan Park, shall we go now?" Lili is Lao Tofu's latest girlfriend.We fight outside, more than 60% of the time is because of old tofu.Chang Jun waved his hand and said, "Go back and get your bicycle." At that time, mountain bikes were very popular. We basically owned one. Once we got it, we removed the fenders and made it into a racing car.For the convenience of fighting, we all changed our backpacks into green canvas one-shoulder bags, which can be used to swing people with a brick. More than a dozen of us set off towards Huatan Park in a mighty manner.Along the way, everyone discussed countless ways to fight the enemy. However, after climbing over the wall and entering the park, they ran into the group of people from the No. 3 Middle School head-on. What "detour", "ambush", and "shock" were forgot in an instant clean.Chang Jun yelled: "Hit!" We swung our shoulders and threw at the dozens of people. In an instant, there was a sound of crying father and mother, and those who were in love and strolling around saw the situation, and immediately ran away in fright. open.

Obviously, the other party was just here to play, and they didn't have any weapons in their hands, so they ran away one after another.How can we spare these "enemies who violated me" lightly, and let them go after their own goals.At that time, what I was dealing with was a little fat man who looked not tall but was very stocky.The boy hit me twice on the head, and he was already bleeding. He ran in front, and I chased after him, and soon ran into the most famous scenic spot in Huatan Park—the Purple Bamboo Forest. The purple bamboo forest in Huatan Park is very lush and covers a very large area.There is a rockery in the forest, and there are six realistic stone statues of Yuanmou people in front of the rockery.However, this is a failed artificial landscape.The purple bamboo forest is dense, and it is difficult for sunlight to come in. Even in the summer when the sun is strongest, the forest is dark, and these Yuanmou people with grim expressions, in the depths of the dark forest, give people the impression that they look like ghosts.

The little fat man ran into the purple bamboo forest in a panic, and I chased him in too.When I chased to the rockery scenic spot, I couldn't see his figure, but I knew that this kid must be hiding in a hole in the rockery, or behind a certain rock, so I searched carefully.I first searched the entire stone forest to the south, but I didn't see him, so I can be sure that he ran to the back.I was about to go around, when suddenly, in the hollow of the last stone, I found him tightly huddled there.I saw him with his eyes closed tightly, his hands tightly holding a handful of soil, trembling all over, as if he was extremely nervous.

Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. Just as I was about to speak, the little fat man suddenly opened his eyes and made gestures to silence me repeatedly.What could scare him like this?Don't be this kid trying to use dirty tricks, right? I looked at him carefully for a while and saw that he didn't look like he was pretending. I was a little puzzled and didn't know what he meant.I saw him pointing to the back of the rockery with his hand again, and I immediately understood that there must be something wrong there. For a while, I hesitated.The little fat man tiptoed up and climbed up the rockery.Halfway up the mountain, he looked through the gap between two stones, and then waved to me, his expression seemed to be extremely panicked.Because of my childhood experience, I knew that it was impossible to fake this kind of expression, so I couldn't help but feel tight and climbed up.No matter how high the rockery can be, I reached the side of the little fat man in two steps.He moved a place for me, and through the gap, I suddenly saw a person digging a hole, and beside him lay a dead body...

Unexpectedly, a murder case occurred in broad daylight, and the murderer was so bold that he dared to kill someone in the park and bury him on the spot!Although there are not many people in the purple bamboo forest, there will always be some people, such as me and this little fat man. This shows how courageous the murderer is.In comparison, I am much calmer emotionally, after all, I have seen big scenes.I knew that the best way to face such a daring murderer was to evacuate the scene, so as not to kill him after he found out, so I patted the fat man on the shoulder and signaled him to follow me and leave here first.

When the two of us tiptoed out of the bamboo forest area, the fat man sat down on the ground, sweating like rain, mixed with blood, dripping all over his face, and his body was shaking non-stop. I didn't even pull him a few times pull up.Because we experienced this incident together, the hostility between us has long since disappeared. I took off the vest on my body and wiped the blood on his head. But it's okay.After finishing all this, I took out a pack of "Dujiang" and handed him one, and the two of them sat at the mouth of the bamboo forest and smoked.After a long time, the little fat man took a deep breath and said, "We have to report to the Public Security Bureau immediately."

Looking at the little fat man with blood oozing from his wound, I suddenly felt a little embarrassed, so I said, "He Bing from the North City Military Region. You're being serious, buddy, don't blame me." After that, I stretched out my right hand. "Jia Xiaobing of the third middle school, my mother was killed by shrimps. If I had known, I shouldn't have come this afternoon." Jia Xiaobing's hands were still shaking.Obviously, my calm demeanor irritated him. Although this buddy was terrified in his heart, he tried his best to pretend not to be afraid, but his limbs were not under his control.

The constant flow of people outside the woods gradually eased our tension. Suddenly, Jia Xiaobing, who was smoking a cigarette, suddenly trembled, his hands trembled violently, and the cigarette butt burned a big hole in my pants.I was about to get angry, but I saw him poke me quietly with his hand, and then nodded forward with his nose.I looked in that direction, and my heart beat wildly immediately. About 20 meters in front of us, a young man with a thin figure and disheveled hair walked over. He was in his thirties with a sneaky expression.He was the one who just buried his body in the purple bamboo forest.Apparently he came round from the north, and we hadn't left yet.In a short period of time, the three met for the second time. I tried my best to suppress the panic in my heart and said, "Let's follow and find out where he is." I said this to Jia Xiaobing in a discussing tone, because I was not sure whether he would dare to go, but unexpectedly, he agreed immediately, and it seemed that he would still compete with me again, but there was an extra companion by his side, It's always good to be bold.We got up, and followed the murderer with extreme nervousness on our already limp legs.My hands are tightly clutching the bricks in the army satchel, and my palms are full of sweat. At this moment, our spirits are highly tense, and any slight movement will cause our most violent reaction.However, this tracking operation soon came to an end, because the murderer didn't leave the park at all, but walked to a small bungalow, opened the door, and walked in.We looked from a distance and saw a door sign hanging on the upper left of the door—the Park and Greening Office. This was completely beyond our expectations. We did not expect that the murderer would be a staff member inside the park.This kid is not generally courageous, but extremely courageous. We didn't dare to delay at all, turned around immediately, and ran out of the park.I didn't even pick up my racing car, and went directly to the Heping Road Police Station not far from Huatan Park.I didn't know who to call, but when I saw an office full of people, I rushed in and asked, "Excuse me, who should I call to report the crime?" "Report? What did you find?" A young police officer raised his head and asked me. "Kill someone, I saw someone kill someone." I shouted with a bit of a gaffe. "Go, go, kid, do you know what happens when you make a false report?" An older police officer frowned and scolded us. Here I must explain that in the early 1990s, in order to popularize the methods of reporting crimes, there were even advertisements on TV.But since then, for a period of time, there have been false alarms flying all over the sky, so the police will say this, which has nothing to do with irresponsibility.Especially kids our age love to do such silly pranks.Coupled with the blood mark on Jia Xiaobing's head, neither of us looked like the type of students who reported criminals. "It's a murder! The body was buried in the purple bamboo forest in Huatan Park. The murderer was a staff member of Huatan Park. We saw it with our own eyes." Jia Xiaobing said without hesitation. Seeing that we spoke in a precise manner, the police hesitated.Those who rushed to the police station to make fun of the police were either fools or lunatics.Thinking of this, the younger policeman said: "Brother Wang, otherwise, let's go and have a look. The location is not far anyway, what if something really happens?" The police officer who had just scolded us thought about it and said to us, "You guys go with us. If you are bored during the summer vacation and want to make us happy, you should know the consequences?" "I know. I swear, I'm absolutely not talking nonsense." Jia Xiaobing's expression almost swears. The police station dispatched four policemen, which were basically all combat personnel in the police station at that time.Armed with batons, they followed the two of us and soon reached the park.When we came to the gloomy looking office, our hearts suddenly tightened up again.Through the window, one could clearly see the murderer leisurely crossing his legs, drinking tea and flipping through newspapers.Jia Xiaobing immediately pointed and shouted, "It's him." Several police officers rushed into the house without hesitation.The man looked a little dazed for a moment, then got up and asked, "Do you have anything to do?" The young policeman asked Jia Xiaobing, "Is that him?" "It's him." Jia Xiaobing flinched a bit, but he mustered up the courage to say this, but his voice was much lower. "What's your name?" The policemen asked cautiously, holding their batons at their waists. "No...comrade, do you have some misunderstanding? I didn't do anything wrong." The young man seemed to be very strange about the intrusion of our group of uninvited guests. "Whether you do something bad or not is not up to you to decide. Answer me first, what's your name?" Seeing the serious expressions of the policemen, the young man pondered for a while, and stared at the two of us several times, which made me feel hairy.He seemed to have suddenly realized something, subconsciously nodded slightly: "My name is Huang Ziwen." "Do you know why we came here?" "Know." He was so straightforward, but made several policemen hesitate.After a while, the policeman surnamed Wang said: "Since you know everything, then take us to the scene. Warning, don't try to escape." "Don't worry. After arriving at the scene, everyone will understand what's going on." Seeing him look so confident, I feel a little confused. Could it be that he has already moved the body?Jia Xiaobing is still very persistent. Judging from his expression, although he is very scared, he is supported by a sense of justice to bring the murderer to justice, so he has the courage to follow the murderer. Mindful approach.Finally, the police couldn't take it anymore, and one of them dragged him hard behind him, pointed to where I was, and let him know where he should stand. Our group quickly entered the purple bamboo forest. Huang Ziwen walked unhurriedly, and finally reached the place where he buried the dead.There were still traces of being turned over on the ground. It seemed that he hadn't moved the corpse yet, even leaving the shovel in place. Without further ado, Huang Ziwen picked up the shovel and started digging.Soon, a puppet dressed in a shroud but whose color and shape resembled a real person appeared in front of everyone.Now, it was our turn to be stunned, and Jia Xiaobing's forehead was sweating again. Fortunately, the eyes of the policemen were not harsh when they looked at us, but a little helpless ridicule. Complicated expressions, both feel that we are naive and ridiculous, but also feel that it seems inappropriate to laugh at our sense of justice, so it seems particularly helpless.Only the young policeman, frowning, stared at the humanoid puppet in the pit without saying a word.Huang Ziwen was completely victorious. Although he was talking to the police, he stared at the two of us mockingly and said: "Comrade police, it's not that I'm lazy, but this thing suddenly appeared in the park. It's not good for people to see it, so I buried it on my own initiative. Maybe these two children thought I buried a corpse. Of course, their original intention is good, and I can understand it. It is mine to cause trouble for you. No, you must accept criticism and education.” I don't know why, but I always feel that Huang Ziwen's expression is a bit sly when he speaks, but the police will not convict with his expression, let alone a puppet.Jia Xiaobing and I stood on the spot in disgrace. At this time, the policeman surnamed Wang said to Huang Ziwen: "I'm sorry, we also came to check the situation based on the information provided by the reporter. I hope you can understand our work." "Understood, of course I understand. Isn't the people's police just to keep the people safe? As long as there are clues, you will of course come to investigate. No one is to blame for this, but I am the only one to blame. If you deal with me, I will absolutely Nothing to say." Obviously, Huang Ziwen's good attitude left a good impression on several police comrades. Officer Wang even shook hands with him apologetically, and said, "Thank you for your support and understanding to us, so I won't disturb your work." .However, it’s best not to dispose of this thing casually, I suggest that you should find a suitable place to dispose of it.” With a series of promises from Huang Ziwen, we left the scene.Before I left, I still couldn't help but look back, and saw Huang Ziwen standing there, staring at us motionless, with a distinctly weird and gloomy expression.This expression, no matter how you think about it, is definitely not what a good person should look like.Of course, it is impossible for us to sue him based on his facial expressions. The police don't care about it, so we have nothing to say. "Your attitude is commendable, but the way you deal with the problem is very sloppy. A puppet is regarded as a corpse. If others are serious with you, you will really be in trouble. At this age, you shouldn't be too rash, I asked You guys, when he dug the pit, did you pay attention to whether there was blood on the so-called corpse? You didn’t even notice the most basic situation and came to the police. If it weren’t for the fact that you are half-grown children, you must be dealt with today " Police officer Wang reprimanded us harshly. We both kept our heads down, neither of us dared to speak. "In the future, you should focus on your studies. Don't fix those useless things. You can't care about social affairs." At this time, Officer Wang's tone became serious again.Then, suddenly asked: "What's the matter with the scar on your head?" I was shocked when I heard this, if Jia Xiaobing told about the fight, I would have to wait for the adults to pick him up at the police station today.Thinking of my grandpa with a stern face all day long, my legs began to feel weak involuntarily, and my left hand subconsciously touched the brick in the schoolbag, regretting that I shouldn't have brought it into the police station.Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jia Xiaobing also glanced at me, and I became even more flustered. "When I saw that in the woods, I was terrified. When I ran out, I bumped into a bamboo and was cut open." I didn't realize that Jia Xiaobing was really loyal.Before I could breathe a sigh of relief, Police Officer Wang snorted: "You think I'm a fool? You, that kid, what did I say in your schoolbag?" He actually saw the flaw, which made me suddenly at a loss.At the very moment, a flash of light flashed in my mind: "Uncle policeman, I did bring a brick with me, but it was for self-defense. I thought the other party was a murderer, so I had to defend myself." Obviously, the police comrades knew that this was a lie, but Jia Xiaobing didn’t betray me, so of course he couldn’t convict me. He just confiscated my self-defense weapons and drove us out of the police station. I put my schoolbag on my head, took out another cigarette, and handed him one: "Thank you." "It's okay. It's fate to meet you." Jia Xiaobing's words made me admire him, so we two half-year-old children smoked and wandered aimlessly on the road chatting, They all have a sense of identity that they hate seeing each other later. "Just call your classmates and I'll set up a table. If you don't fight, you don't know each other." I said. "Sure, I'll go back and talk to Xiazi. In fact, he and Lili can't make it, that girl has a bad personality, and they are not the only two boyfriends at all." We also pretended to be old-fashioned and shook hands like adults, and then we parted.When I got to pick up the car, I realized they were all waiting for me. "Where did you go? We've been waiting for you for a long time." Chang Jun asked with his eyes squinted, a cigarette in his mouth. I recounted what happened just now, and they all burst into laughter. Chang Jun pointed at me and said, "Damn it, are you crazy for wanting to be a hero? You don't care about such trivial matters?" Facing their sarcasm and ridicule, I had nothing to say and felt a little ashamed.Not two days after we went back, the other party said that they wanted to settle our grievances with us. They recruited some people from the society to help out, and specified that they would kill Lao Doufu and Chang Jun.I was thinking about what Jia Xiaobing had said, and I wanted peace talks, but Chang Jun didn't intend to compromise at all. He got a few military stabs and a three-edged scraper from somewhere.This time, the last weapon was a knife.I estimate that this matter will not end without a few lives.However, the fight was suppressed before the fight, because Lao Doufu was afraid and leaked the whole plan of the fight to his father who was engaged in intelligence work.Soon, the criminal police team of the city's Public Security Bureau quickly arrested several social people who existed in the rumors. After investigation, they also found out a life lawsuit. Lao Doufu also made a contribution. Every time I think of the stillborn plan to fight, I can't help being afraid.I can be sure that as long as the two sides make a move, people will definitely die, either on our side or their side.Judging from the strength, our side is more likely. After all, there are authentic murderers to help out, so Lao Tofu's choice is absolutely correct.We should actually thank him, but at that time, Lao Doufu was despised by everyone, and soon he drifted out of our circle.Without Lao Doufu, our chances of fighting have been greatly reduced, but also because of his betrayal, a gang of hooligans hidden in our high-level military area was finally exposed. Chang Jun was sent directly to the army by his grandfather, and on condition Very harsh Lanzhou Military Region.On the day before leaving, he acted like a martyr, and said with a tragic expression: "Brothers, when I come back, we will be together again." Without Chang Jun, we are much more honest.All this happened during the two-month summer vacation. When school started, I became a loner, so I had to devote my extra energy to my studies, and my grades skyrocketed.For this reason, my grandma would show off to everyone. In her eyes, my future was bright, and I was developing in the direction of a top student, and the day of going to college was just around the corner. The change of Keren's fate is really just a moment...
