Chapter 41 Chapter Four Seeing the Dragon in the Field

Just when I was confused about why Gao Hao, the deceased, wandered in the litchi garden, a man who was about forty years old sneered: "Maybe the third child brought her here!" As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone's eyes fell on him, and Gao Qiang glared at him angrily: "Fourth, what are you talking about! Is there anyone who talks like you?" "What can I say is not good! I said so what if the third child brings her, maybe the two of them will bring you next time!" The man called "the fourth child" snorted coldly, posing With a tense posture, it seems that he is ready to fight Gao Qiang.There were already enough problems in front of me, and I didn't want them to make trouble for me, so I quickly stood between the two, separated them, and said seriously: "Calm down, arguing won't solve the problem!"

"Fourth" snorted again, stepped aside and stopped talking, while Gao Qiang glared at him indignantly.I took Gao Qiang aside and asked him who this "fourth child" was.He said angrily: "His name is Gao Cai, he is my fourth brother, he opened a copycat company outside and made a few bad money and then he is self-righteous, and he doesn't pay attention to me as a brother at all." Afterwards, He also endlessly recounted to me the "evil deeds" of his fourth brother—— This stinky boy was known for being mischievous since he was a child. When he was studying, the school teachers came to complain to his parents every three days, either skipping class or fighting with classmates, and his father was almost mad at him.It got better later on, he didn't even read books at all, and came out to fool around before he graduated from elementary school.

I thought he would cause less trouble if he didn't study, but I didn't expect him to idle around all day and cause more trouble. One day he stole Aunt Zhang's chicken, and the next day he killed Uncle Li's seedlings. Anyway, our family has never been peaceful.In the end, we really couldn't stand him, and at that time many brothers from the same village went out to work, so we asked a distant cousin to take him to the provincial capital.Once he is gone, our family will be at peace. Later, he made some money in the provincial capital, and even opened a fake company, which seemed to make clothes or something.When he became the boss, he thought he was great. Every time he came back, he was amazing. He only opposed me. If I said a word casually, he could say four or five words to me.Just like holding a funeral for my mother this time, he has opinions on what I want to do, and he always sings against me...

From Gao Qiang's narration, it can be seen that his relationship with Gao Cai is very bad, but this is just a family dispute between their brothers, and it doesn't seem to have much to do with the case.So after I baffled him a few words, I brought the topic into my concern: "Does Gao Cai's 'oldest son' refer to Gao Xian who died a week ago?" "Well, Gao Xian is my third younger brother, and he teaches in the elementary school in the village." He nodded, his tone a little calmer than before. I asked again: "Then why did he say that Gao Xian brought the dead?"

He suddenly gritted his teeth again: "He is a dog who can't grow ivory, and can say all kinds of dirty words. He wants us all to die, so that he can monopolize what dad left behind!" I casually asked, "What did your father leave behind?" I was just asking casually, but I didn't expect his reaction to be quite big. He immediately became nervous, but then he pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just this lychee garden. When Dad was still there, the garden The production of lychees here is not bad, but our brothers are busy in their own ways, and my mother is getting older, so after my father left, there will be no one to take care of it.”

He is obviously lying. Although I am not very familiar with this place, it is located in a remote place. Even if the output of this lychee garden is very high, it should not make much money after deducting the transportation cost.Perhaps, for local farmers, it can still be regarded as a good income.But for Gao Cai who already owns a small company in the provincial capital, if he is given this lychee orchard, he will probably just wait for the fruit to ripen and bring a group of friends to play for a day or two. Although Gao Qiang's words made me feel suspicious, it was their family business after all.As an outsider, as long as it is irrelevant to the case, it is better for me not to meddle in my own business.The most urgent thing at the moment is to find out the situation of the two deceased. I already know about Gao Hao's situation, so I asked Gao Qiang about Gao Xian's situation and where the corpse was parked.

"The body of the third child has been cremated." He had a disturbed look on his face. "What? Cremated the body so soon before the murderer was found?" I was very puzzled, called Zidie over, and asked her why she cremated the dead body before the case was investigated. "It's the family members who insist on cremation immediately, and I can't help it!" Zidie looked helpless. I asked Gao Qiang why he hastily cremated Gao Xian's body without waiting for further investigation by the police?He replied with a look of embarrassment: "The third child died so horribly that the villagers thought he was killed by his mother, and they were afraid that he would cheat his body. So regardless of the traditional customs, he was cremated the next day after his accident. .”

"You are so..." I wanted to say that he was ignorant, but when I was about to say it, I swallowed it back.Because judging from the current situation, they can't be blamed for doing this. After all, the fourth wife cheated the corpse in full view, and the deceased was probably killed by the fourth wife. Who can guarantee that the deceased will not cheat like the fourth wife? What about the corpse? Just when I felt helpless because of this, Gao Qiang showed a hesitant expression, and I asked him what was the matter, and he said in embarrassment: "Second sister's body..." Although he didn't say the whole thing, But I know he wants to cremate Gao Hao's body as soon as possible.Although doing so has a certain impact on the investigation, it is the wishes of the family after all, and it is inconvenient for me as a criminal police officer to obstruct it, so I have to let him handle it by himself.

He smiled immediately, as if it wasn't his sister who had just died, but an irrelevant stranger.He walked up to Chen Lu, the husband of the deceased in three steps at a time. The two exchanged a few words, and Chen Lu nodded helplessly.Immediately, he loudly instructed several security guards present to carry the deceased to an open space outside the lychee garden and cremate him on the spot. Those security guards were of course unwilling to obey this order, after all, no one would be willing to move the corpse, and it was a corpse that could be fraudulent at any time.But Gao Qiang is also the head of the village, so if he doesn't obey his orders, he may lose his job immediately.So, after they pushed and shoved for a while, finally under Gao Qiang's scolding, they lifted the dead together and moved them to the open space outside the litchi garden.

After the corpse was moved to the open space, Gao Qiang asked them to find more firewood nearby and prepare to cremate the corpse.Because this place is not as dark as the Lychee Garden, so while they were looking for firewood, I planned to use the moonlight to inspect the dead body again to see if there would be any new discoveries.However, when I approached the corpse, a young girl's voice suddenly came from behind: "Uncle, auntie..." I looked back and found a young girl with a fit body standing beside Gao Qiang looking at the dead body in front of me, covering her mouth with her hands, showing panic.After a while, the girl came over crying, knelt down in front of the corpse and wept bitterly.

"Feifei, your aunt has already gone. It won't help if you cry any more. You'd better go back to your mother-in-law's house to watch the spirit!" There are no descendants of Shou Ling, so what kind of dignity is there!" "Auntie, it's all Feifei's fault. If I had insisted on accompanying you home just now, nothing would have happened to you..." The girl named Feifei held the hand of the deceased, tears dripping down like a rainstorm. I walked up to Gao Qiang and asked who this girl was, and he replied, "She's called Shi Feifei, and she's the daughter of my fifth younger sister. My fifth younger sister needs to be hospitalized because of her poor health, so I asked her to come over to help take care of my mother." funeral." I asked again: "Is she on good terms with the deceased?" "It doesn't matter if it's okay or not. She's staying at the second sister's house this time, maybe she has more contact with her at ordinary times..." He thought for a while and said, "She was left at her mother's house by the fifth sister when she was a child, and she lived for five years. , Six years ago, she seemed to often go to the second sister's house for a walk at that time." At this time, the security guards had picked up a lot of firewood, and Gao Qiang stepped forward to pull Feifei up, but Feifei held the dead man's hand and refused to let go.After tugging for a while, the two suddenly stopped together and stood together. When I went up to ask them what happened, Gao Qiang immediately replied: "It's okay, it's okay!" But Feifei pointed to the dead man's clenched right hand and said, "Auntie has a note in her hand." When I heard the words, I immediately stepped forward, and Zidie moved faster than me, and she was already ahead of me with one stride.She didn't know where to find a pair of gloves, and after putting them on, she tried hard to break the dead man's fist.Because the corpse was already showing rigor at this time, it took her a lot of effort to break her fist apart. There was a small piece of paper in the deceased’s hand, and Zidie handed it to me. With the help of the flashlight, I could clearly see that there were only four words written on it—seeing the dragon in the field. The deceased held the note tightly before death, so her death or the reason why she came to the Lychee Garden should be related to the content on the note, but I don’t understand what mystery these four words contain, but see Zidie looked thoughtful and asked her if she thought of something.Her answer was really surprising: "I think of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon." "What? I heard it right, what does this have to do with the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon?" I really can't imagine that an ordinary village woman has anything to do with the magical powers in martial arts novels. However, Zidie said seriously: "Seeing the Dragon in the Field is the third palm of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon." I think like Zhen Zhen, she was harmed by martial arts novels, so she said angrily: "Do you think the deceased is Hong Qigong or Guo Jing's apprentice?" I thought I could stop her by saying this, but Feifei interrupted and said, "Before my third uncle had an accident, he seemed to have talked about Qianlong or something." "Don't use Qianlong! The fifth palm of the Eighteen Palms of Subduing the Dragon." Zidie suddenly got excited. Feifei suddenly realized and said: "Yes, just don't use Qianlong!" Longevity God!What kind of case is this? First, the fourth wife cheated the corpse, and then somehow got involved with the Eighteen Palms of the Dragon.Now my head is like flour on the left and water on the right, and when I think about it, my head becomes mushy.Just when my thoughts were in chaos, Gao Qiang said to Feifei impatiently: "Don't talk so much, kid, go back to your mother-in-law's house to watch the spirit." body, ready to be cremated on the spot. When I wanted to ask Feifei about Gao Xian again, Gao Qiang actually said to me in front of her: "If you have any questions, just ask me directly, this girl is still young and ignorant, she will talk nonsense. "Then urged Feifei to leave. I feel more and more that something is wrong with Gao Qiang, he seems to be deliberately hiding something.Moreover, in just half a month, three of his mother, younger brother and sister passed away successively, and the last two died in an unexplained manner.However, he didn't show the sadness he should have, as if the dead were just strangers who had nothing to do with him, which made me doubt him even more. Although I think he is very suspicious, it is inconvenient to ask Feifei about the situation at this moment, because with him present, Feifei will be a little bit scrupulous about speaking, which will not only fail to obtain the information I want, but will make him suspicious.So, I pretended to be nonchalant and beckoned to Zidie, and then said to him: "We have nothing to do here, so let's go first." He seemed to want us to leave immediately, and he nodded and waved to us quickly, just like Zidie had just arrived.I think if it wasn't for my presence, he would have been trying to keep Zidie back, hoping that she could find the murderer as soon as possible. He must have a dark secret! When Zidie and Zidie returned to the police car, she asked me suspiciously: "Don't you think we should ask Feifei for more information? She seems to know a lot of things, things that Gao Qiang didn't tell us." I didn't answer her question right away, but opened the car door for her and made a gesture of "please sit down".After getting into the car, she showed a slightly displeased look: "Shall we go back now?" I yawned and replied: "Ha... Before I knew it, it was past one o'clock in the morning. Where should I sleep tonight?" "How did I know you were going to sleep there!" She showed a slightly angry look, and turned her head out of the window. I smiled and said, "I'll sleep in your dormitory tonight." "You have a good idea, I won't let you sleep with me..." She paused for a moment, then said, "Are you lost, this is not the way to go back to the dormitory." "You really want to sleep with me!" I laughed out loud. "No way!" She glared at me angrily. I said with a hippie smile: "Otherwise, why are you going back in such a hurry?" "This..." She was speechless for a while, but then changed the subject: "Why are you going this way?" "Isn't the answer just ahead?" I pointed forward.There was a girl walking alone in the dark ahead, maybe the lights of the police car caught her attention, she turned her head to look.When the headlights shone on her pretty face, which was still stained with tears, Zidie called out, "Isn't she Feifei?" I slowed down the speed and drove slowly towards Feifei's position, and said, "Maybe, before we go back to the dormitory, we can go to the fourth wife's house."
