Chapter 45 Chapter 45: Shaw's Dark Marriage

Liu Qin has a serious appearance, which is quite likable. I thought she might have discovered that the students put sweet potatoes in the ashes and secretly roasted them here.In the past, some students also did that. The sweet potatoes were dug randomly in the ground.They didn't dare to go home to bake, for fear of being scolded by adults, so they had to borrow the teacher's stove to use it.No, I took a closer look and found that there were no sweet potatoes in the ashes, only a few black-gray lead grains like small stones. I followed and squatted down, picked up something in the fire ash, and realized that it was not lead pellets, but lead bullets!More than a month ago, policeman Li Zhou found lead bullets in Grandpa Wu's body, which had my fingerprints on them, so he called me in for questioning.At first, I thought it was the lead bullets in the aluminum box. When I opened it, I touched them, and it is not surprising that there are fingerprints on them.But later I got the box back, and there were a lot of lead bullets, which made me think that Li Zhou's skills were not good enough, and I made a mistake in the fingerprint comparison.

"Did someone put lead bullets in the ashes of the fire, and when they touched the fire, they would leave fingerprints?" Liu Qin asked suspiciously. I touched the warm lead bullet, nodded and said: "It must be so. This person is treacherous enough to think of such a trick. Thanks to my thinking for so long, it turns out that the fingerprints on the lead bullet were really touched by myself." .” Liu Qin digged into the ashes again, only to find the three lead bullets, the rest were charcoal.The stove is outside the dormitory, anyone can get close to it, I don't know who set the trap.Don't think too much, the buckshot definitely doesn't have the fingerprints of the person who set the trap, and that person's purpose is to harm me.But to design this trap, we must understand the rules of how we make fire and boil water, otherwise the lead bullets are likely to be stained with the fingerprints of other teachers.

"What are you thinking? You must be thinking that it's useless to call the police, because anyone can put things in the ashes, right?" Liu Qin quickly guessed. "I think so." I put away all the lead bullets, and then said, "Let's sort out these scattered evidence first, and hand it over to Li Zhou after a while. Don't look at these evidences are scattered, but the collection If there are too many, it will definitely form a big net, so that those who play tricks behind the scenes will not be able to escape." The discovery of lead bullets can be regarded as another strong evidence after Lin Huo's special identity.Wu Lingchun was very nervous, and spent a long time digging in the ashes of the fire, afraid that, like me, he would unknowingly touch lead bullets and be framed by someone.Fortunately, the ashes of the fire were cleaned up by us, and there were no more lead bullets and other things.Wu Lingchun didn't dare to use the stove anymore, and planned to use the heat to quickly boil water in the dormitory in the future, even if it burned out the dormitory's electrical circuit.

The tossing and tossing in the early morning made me sweat a lot, but the symptoms of the cold did not improve, but my throat became even hoarse.After two consecutive lectures in the morning class, my throat could hardly make a sound, and it turned from itching to dry pain.During the class, Wang Xiaolong still didn't come to class, and always refused to come to class on the grounds that he was unwell.I think, Wang Xiaolong must be ashamed of jumping off the building, he is embarrassed to face me and everyone, and really wants to find a chance to talk to him. After school in the morning, I didn't have lunch and wanted to go to Village Chief Wang's house right away.At this time, Ouyang Xin came to me and said that he saw Xiao Weihai at the village head.Enduring the soreness in my throat, I asked Ouyang Xin if he had read wrongly. Wasn't Xiao Weihai taken away by the police? Why did he come back so soon?Then, the school's broken radio rang, and Principal Zhang's voice came out of the loudspeaker, making the students who were about to leave the school stop.

"Students, there is no class this afternoon. Everyone come to the school to decorate in the afternoon, put the stools on the playground, and show a movie in the evening! Repeat! Students, there is no class this afternoon. Everyone come to the school to decorate in the afternoon, and put the stools on the playground Come on, put on a movie tonight!" Principal Zhang read it in Mandarin, and I was puzzled, why there was no class all of a sudden, and a movie was going to be shown in the evening.Machang Village is so backward, how to play movies?The school does not have a cinema.Ouyang Xin saw that I was confused, so he told me to leave the crowd and go to the door of the dormitory to explain to me.It turned out that Xiao Weihai was getting married today, but it was not a normal marriage, but a ghost marriage.As the name suggests, ghost marriage is to marry someone who has died.

Xiao Weihai didn't kill anyone. The woman who died in Mo's house was actually Xiao Weihai's wife who had never been married.Because he hadn't registered with the civil affairs department, Xiao Weihai was embarrassed to take the woman to the hospital to give birth, so he discussed with Boss Mo whether it was possible for the unmarried woman to hide in their home.Xiao Weihai stuffed the money, and Boss Mo agreed, and asked Lin Shuxiang to take care of her.Unexpectedly, the woman had a miscarriage and died in Mo's house without comprehensive care. Before Boss Mo sent Lin Shuxiang to the county hospital for treatment, Xiao Weihai's woman had been dead for two days. They originally planned to bury it secretly, but then there was a pine fire incident, and the matter has been put on hold until now. case.Although Xiao Weihai knew that his woman was dead, he didn't expect Aunt Liu to find the body. He originally planned to wait for Boss Mo to come back to discuss.After the incident, Xiao Weihai saw that he couldn't hide it anymore, so he took the initiative to reveal the truth to the police.Although this kind of thing is disgraceful, it is not illegal to conceive without marriage, and death due to miscarriage is not considered murder. Xiao Weihai was released the next day.

"Oh! No wonder Lin Shuxiang went to Xiao Weihai's house one night. They were discussing taking care of his woman, right?" I realized. "It's almost like this." Ouyang Xin nodded. "Dare he tell you such a thing?" I couldn't believe it. "Didn't tell me, he told the village chief himself." Ouyang Xin explained, "The woman's body was brought out in front of everyone, and the police also came. Can he keep it a secret? Fortunately, the police don't ask about such things. Xiao Weihai is going to invite everyone to watch a movie at night, and bury his daughter in the cemetery in the afternoon."

"This is ghost marriage? It's so simple?" I snapped, "I read some books say that ghost marriage is very complicated." "It depends on the situation if it is complicated. This is a remote place, can it be complicated? Besides, this is a disgraceful thing. Xiao Weihai probably doesn't want to do it. It's just to keep the villagers from embarrassing him. It was supposed to be a banquet, but it's too late. See Movies are easier." I have never seen a movie in the countryside, and Ouyang Xin told me that Machang Village had shown movies before.The general procedure is to hang a white and black-edged curtain on the teaching building of the primary school, and everyone sits on the playground, and the person who plays the movie projects light and shadow onto the curtain.When there are festive events in the village, some people will invite people to show movies.In fact, the picture of the movie is often distorted, and the projector is very old, but everyone still likes to watch it.

Mountain villages are different cities, and movies are not fixed in movie theaters, and villages often pay them to go to the mountains.In the past, relying on a military horse farm in the mountains, I often paid people to play movies to pass the hard years.The movies shown are nothing more than revolutionary movies, which are not worth seeing in the eyes of young people.Children who have never been exposed to movies think that watching movies is the highest enjoyment.In winter, everyone watches movies outdoors, no matter how cold it is, many people move stools to watch. Xiao's ghost marriage seems to be in a hurry, but it is similar to the seven-day burial custom. It cannot be delayed for too long, and it is usually done as soon as possible.Xiao Weihai himself is unwilling to engage in ghost marriages, but the woman from another place died in Machang Village and was pregnant with Xiao's baby in her womb. I am afraid that resentment will form in the future and Machang Village will lose all crops.For this reason, under pressure, Xiao Weihai engaged in a ghost marriage with that woman, hoping to reduce the woman's violent spirit through the marriage of yin and yang, so as not to embarrass Machang Village.Mountain villages in different places have their own customs, and this kind of matter is very sensitive. The police let Xiao Weihai go back to work quickly this time, and sent someone to bring the body back.

But I always feel that this ghost marriage is full of weirdness, it came too suddenly, and it seems that something bad is about to happen.At this time, Liu Qin and Wu Lingchun pushed through the crowd and asked why we were showing the movie.When Ouyang Xin relayed the words, I saw Principal Zhang also go through the crowd, walked to the school gate, and had a few words with Xiao Weihai who rushed over.Village head Wang and Aunt Liu also came later, and together with Principal Zhang, set the steps for the ghost marriage with Xiao Weihai. Who would have thought that the fate is changeable and the situation is fleeting.Within today, not only will all the mysteries be completely revealed, but a person standing in the school at this time will also die in the most tragic and unexpected way.
