This is the first time Zhao Qiming heard Hua Cui talk about his family, the heavy farm work, the loneliness of being far away from home, and the longing for his relatives. Each of them is a scar engraved on the heart of the educated youth.
He feels a little sorry for Huacui like this. Life is already so difficult. Although she likes to be lazy and doesn't want to work, who doesn't covet comfort?
As for gluttony, Zhao Qiming recalled that during the famine when she was a child, she was so greedy that she wanted to take a bite of everything. She was just growing up and just wanted to eat more. What was wrong with her.
Still a child.
Hua Cui didn't know that in Zhao Qiming's mind, she had been excused by saying "she was still a child".
"After the Chinese New Year, the educated youth will have a family leave. I will help you apply for it from my father." Not everyone is eligible for family leave. Hua Cui knew that since he said this, he was planning to open a back door for herself to make something special.
"No, I can't see my grandma anymore."
"My condolences."
It didn't take much thinking to figure out that Zhao Qiming had misunderstood something, so Hua Cui didn't explain much.
"Rather than going home, I want to spend the New Year with Brother Xiao Ming."
It was self-evident what it meant to celebrate the New Year together. Zhao Qiming became silent again. He sent her back to the educated youth point and watched her enter before leaving.
Early the next morning, the news that three teams of educated youths committed suicide by drowning spread throughout the brigade. Hua Cui and Xu Youya, as the first witnesses to the crime scene, were also called for questioning.
But the two of them only found the body while doing laundry and knew nothing else. They didn't know anything about it, and they didn't have any useful clues.
There has been no murder case in this quiet land for a long time. The county sent a total of two police officers, one male and one female. Hua Cui noticed that the expressions of both of them were not relaxed.
"Comrade, have you made any new discoveries?"
The older male police officer glanced at Huacui and said nothing. The female police officer on the side briefly explained the current situation in a low voice.
The deceased educated youth was named Li Lanying. She was usually kind and had a good reputation. The educated youths who were with her said that she had not behaved strangely recently, but when something like this suddenly happened... they found it difficult to accept it for a while.
There were no obvious external injuries on the body, and the cause of death was indeed drowning. However, in addition to abrasions and minor bruises, the autopsy also revealed that she had had sexual intercourse many times recently, and there were no signs of lacerations or injuries on her vagina, suggesting the possibility of being forced or violated. The sex is not big, but other situations cannot be ruled out.
Educated youths who knew her well said that Li Lanying did not even have a close relationship with the opposite sex, let alone have an affair with someone without a matchmaker.
"How could Lan Ying do such a stupid thing? I don't believe it, someone must have harmed her!" Liu Jiahan, an educated youth living with her, couldn't help his eyes turning red. Another female educated youth Miao Li comforted her in a low voice to calm down. .
"How can I be calm? Yesterday, I was such a good person! She smiled and told me before that she wanted to go back to the city to see her parents and sister, to be admitted to the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University, and to find a good job in the city after graduation. She also said she wanted to buy something for her sister. Canned sugar water. Why, just today?" Liu Jiahan's voice choked up and he was speechless.
How could such a person commit suicide by drowning himself in a river?
The female police officer listened silently and asked: "I ask again, has she really done nothing unusual recently?"
Liu Jiahan shook his head and said no, but Miao Li seemed to suddenly remember something. She bit her lip and hesitated, but hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? If there's anything wrong, you can tell us and we'll keep it a secret."
Miao Li hesitated and said: "I have seen her go out several times recently, always at night, when we were sleeping... But she said that she had been feeling unwell these past few days and had a stomachache, so she often went to the toilet, so I had no doubts.”
There are dry toilets in the village, as well as in the educated youth spot where Huacui lives. The dry toilets are some distance away from the room. Every time Huacui gets up to go to the toilet, she has to shamelessly wake up other people, and she needs someone to accompany her before she dares to go.
"But I really don't know if she had a stomachache or something else. I just suddenly remembered this. Other than that, there was nothing else wrong." Miao Li added.
The two policemen looked at each other and secretly remembered these details.
There was something wrong with the whole case, but there was still no progress. Li Lanying was determined and cruel, leaving nothing behind.
If there is no further progress, I am afraid it will end with "suicide by drowning in the river".
"Perhaps we can try to 'snatch the snake' and let the murderer get into trouble and reveal his flaws." Zhou Haiwen suggested.
Hua Cui understood what he meant in an instant. It was not that she had never thought of this method.
"But will the police agree?"
He smiled like a fox: "What does it have to do with the police? We are just enthusiastic people, and they happened to discover the truth."
Hua Cui didn't expect Zhou Haiwen to have such a dark side, and she suddenly opened up new ideas!
Also, since the police don't allow fishing to enforce the law, wouldn't it be better for her, an enthusiastic member of the public, to catch the fish?
Just do it, Huacui and Zhou Haiwen discussed the strategy, and in the afternoon she carried the melon seeds to the Bagua Center at the entrance of the village.
"Hey, Comrade Huacui, I haven't seen you for a long time. Have you eaten?"
"Have eaten. Where are Aunt Li and Uncle Wang?"
"Eat, eat, yo, where are you going?"
"I'm not doing anything, I'm just wandering around. Aunt Li, do you want to eat some melon seeds?"
Hua Cui smiled and handed the melon seeds forward, and she was naturally surrounded by everyone. As they chatted, they inevitably talked about the recent news.
An hour later, Hua Cui retired.
"Have you heard? The educated youth in the third team was killed!"
"What a crime, such a good girl, the person who harmed her is worse than a beast!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. I heard that the police have found clues and will be able to find the murderer soon!"
"What! Who is the murderer?"
"That's right. Stop telling me who the murderer is."
"I also heard about it. I heard that a suicide note was found in an educated youth center. Although the suicide note did not specify who the murderer was, the police have identified several suspects..."
"If he was really killed, the murderer should go to jail! Criticize him!"
"It's easy for him to go to jail, he should be shot!"
"Yes, take the gun!"
"If you ask me, the police should search the educated youth spots again. Maybe they can find some clues."
"..."
During the chattering discussion, some people's expressions gradually became stiff and unnatural, and finally they withdrew from the crowd in fear.
With Hua Cui's efforts, the rumors not only did not disappear, but became more and more true and more like the same thing.
The man with evil intentions was anxious and uneasy for several days, but finally he took advantage of everyone to go to work in the fields and sneaked into the third team of educated youth camps.
He was eager to destroy the evidence, worried that the police would find something, and even more afraid of being shot. As a result, as soon as he broke the lock of the compound and entered, he was caught by Hua Cui, who had been waiting inside the door.
She seemed to have been waiting for a long time and was not surprised when she saw him.
"I've finally waited for you. What, do you want to destroy the evidence?"
Qian Dagui's expression was stiff: "What are you talking about? I, I don't know what you are talking about, destroying evidence. I just saw no one in the educated youth area and wanted to come in and steal something!" "Do you think that if the police have no evidence, Will I ambush here?" Hua Cui sneered. This person is stupid and bad, and his psychological defense is low. He can't help but take advantage of her even if he is deceived by her.
His legs began to tremble and he couldn't stand, cold sweat broke out on his face, and his sophistry looked pale and weak.
"You, don't try to lie to me, I'm just here to steal things! Don't let anyone rely on me!" Qian Dagui yelled with his eyes cracked.
Since Li Lanying's accident, he felt guilty and panicked. He had not slept well for several days and nights, and his neurasthenia was extremely severe.
"You used your power to threaten Li Lanying and told her that if she didn't follow you, you would prevent her from returning to the city for the rest of her life, and you would not give her a place at the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University. Li Lanying was forced to give in, but after it was done, you He regretted it temporarily and instead of voting for her, he used this matter to continue to threaten her. Li Lanying was desperate and finally threw herself into the river to end everything. "
"You are curious about why I know this, are you? The suicide note left by Li Lanying has explained everything."
"Nonsense, nonsense! Bitch!" Qian Dagui became furious, his little sense was covered by fear and anger, and he even wanted to attack Hua Cui on impulse.
"Zhou Haiwen!"
But since Hua Cui dared to appear here, she couldn't put herself in danger with her bare hands. She was in the open and Zhou Haiwen was in the dark. Before Qian Dagui could make a move to her, he was pinned to the ground by Zhou Haiwen and couldn't move.
Zhou Haiwen looks gentle and delicate, but unlike Qian Dagui who can only use brute force, Hua Cui guessed that he may have also practiced martial arts or boxing.
Qian Dagui was vulnerable in his hands.
"I don't believe it. You have no evidence at all. You are all lying to me! Bitch, you can't find peace even if you die!"
Really, hopeless.
"Ah!"
Qian Dagui's wrist was grabbed by Zhou Haiwen and bent back hard. It would not hurt him, but it would make him tremble in pain.
Hua Cui knelt down in front of him, her eyes slightly curved, her voice was soft and gentle: "It is not a pity to die for a rotten person like you."
She leaned a little closer and lowered her voice: "Although all the evidence points to you, and you can't clean it up even if you jump into the Yellow River, I still hope you can resist as much as you want. You only have one chance. What do you think the outcome will be?"
Qian Dagui stared blankly at her devilish smile and couldn't help but start to tremble.
Two policemen investigating the case arrived slowly.
Huacui stood up, not only returned to normal volume, but also suddenly said: "The money is expensive, I lied to you, in fact, we have no evidence at all."
Zhou Haiwen also let go of him.
The two of them were acting like a opera, doing one thing after another, reversing it layer by layer.
Qian Dagui couldn't tell which sentence Hua Cui said was the truth and which sentence was a lie, and he was sweating drop by drop.
The two policemen were a little confused about what was going on, but fortunately they were not stupid, so they remained calm and did not speak.
Qian Dagui was so panicked that he finally remembered Hua Cui's sinister smile, and his lips trembled.
Yes, it must be!
The police must have evidence! She just wanted to kill him, so she deliberately said that there was no evidence. Qian Dagui was not very educated, but he also knew that voluntarily surrendering would definitely open up the door!
"It's me! Officer, it's all me!" Qian Dagui suddenly knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound. He took a few steps forward while kneeling, "I surrender, I admit it! I will say anything!"
< br>
The policewoman secretly clenched her fists, but on the surface she asked calmly: "Are you willing to surrender?"
really! Qian Dagui secretly thought that he was right in his bet, that bitch must have deceived him! She just wanted to harm him on purpose!
He banged his head several times: "I surrender, I surrender!"
