Chapter 30 Silly Qing, your mother is dead
The next day, Zhou Shi picked up Xu Yiqing, who was a little stiff.
"You don't look in good spirits."
"You...are not that strong."
Xu Yiqing looked at Zhou Shi. She was very beautiful, so she only wore light makeup on weekdays and didn't rely on rouge or gouache to cover herself up. She had a cool and natural beauty.
But today, even if she applied a few more foundations, she couldn't cover up the dark circles under her eyes.
Zhou Shi yawned: "I thought about it for half the night last night and felt that things were not that simple."
"How to say?"
"Yesterday I told Mr. Du that Liu Zhuhua might be suspected of cheating on insurance policies, but after analyzing it for a long time after going back in the evening, I felt that the cause of Liu Zhuhua's death may not be what I wanted."
The phrase "it may not be what you want" has a profound meaning.
Zhou Shi said: "Judging from Liu Zhuhua's participation in insurance, she does want to die...but she shouldn't freeze to death."
Xu Yiqing also nodded: "The police visited and said that Liu Zhuhua had a grudge against the village chief Li Cheng. It would be too coincidental to die in the enemy's home."
Zhou Shi suddenly asked: "You find that your enemy is about to die in front of you. What will you do?"
Xu Yiqing was stunned and subconsciously said: "Call 120."
Zhou Shi was also stunned. It was obvious that she wanted to use the "substitution method" to guide Xu Yiqing to think about the relationship between Liu Zhuhua and the village chief Li Cheng, but she did not expect this answer.
After realizing it, she smiled and shook her head slightly: "As if I didn't ask, your answer has no reference value."
Xu Yiqing also realized that what Zhou Shi meant was that the hatred between Liu Zhuhua and Li Cheng would make them fight each other, instead of taking their enemy home to keep warm when they saw her enemy freezing to death outside.
The two of them had a perfect understanding, and with just one glance, Zhou Shi knew that Xu Yiqing understood what she meant.
So she added softly: "So we still need to understand how big the hatred between Liu Zhuhua and Li Cheng's family is... is it so big that Liu Zhuhua wants to burn Li Cheng's family to death, and Li Cheng is eager to kill Liu Zhuhua. ”
——
Just after seven o'clock in the morning, Zhou Shi drove Xu Yiqing to Basia Village.
The difference from yesterday was that as soon as they entered the village, they saw a vague figure in the dilapidated house standing next to the village.
Rural people get up very early, especially the elderly. At dawn, there are already a gathering of elderly people at the entrance of the village who have had breakfast and come out to bask in the sun.
Several energetic children gathered with their friends and enjoyed every minute and every second of the first month holiday.
"Shaqing, your mother is dead!"
Before they could even take two steps after stopping the car, Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi were both stunned.
Now the villages around Jiangcheng no longer pay attention to the custom of not using swear words in the first month?
Why do you start cursing so early in the morning?
The two of them looked around and saw several teenagers, using plastic garbage bags in their hands as throwing objects and throwing them into the dilapidated house.
The garbage bag fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of the collision of glass bottles and cans, rolling all over the floor.
There was a man in the room who looked like a slovenly homeless man hiding behind the wall and yelling at them.
The roar was completely speechless, like a primitive expression of anger.
Seeing someone looking over, the children shrunk their heads and ran away.
When the two were confused, Du Yu came out from the village to pick them up. He had already gone to Basia Village to replace his colleagues on the night shift before dawn.
Xu Yiqing asked: "Did you really sleep?"
"Just a little while." Du Yu waved his hand: "It's commonplace... By the way, that is Liu Zhuhua's son."
He pointed in the direction of the ruined house.
Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi were both shocked.
"Is he Liu Zhuhua's son?"
"Can people live in that house?"
Du Yu sighed: "It's a long story...but you should also be able to see that he has an intellectual disability."
The field police were very efficient. In the middle of the night, Du Yu had fully understood the situation of Liu Zhuhua and her son... After all, people are social animals and must rely on social relationships to survive.
Homeless people are no exception.
Xu Yiqing looked at the house across the dirt road. The wooden beams were rotten and half of the walls had collapsed. It looked like it was not habitable.
Liu Zhuhua's son was disheveled and could not tell his age or appearance. He was afraid of people in the corner and did not dare to come out.
Xu Yiqing suddenly felt like she was choking and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Shi frowned and looked at the villagers watching the excitement: "There are still people living in that house, do you just throw garbage there?"
When they arrived at Basia Village for the first time yesterday, they discovered that there was garbage all around the dilapidated house, as if it had been regarded as a garbage dump by the villagers.
At the beginning of the period, they thought it was an abandoned house and didn't think much about it.
Villagers, look at me and I look at you. It is human nature to subconsciously evade responsibility.
So some people waved their hands repeatedly: "It's not us, it's the village chief. The village chief moved the garbage dump there. It was originally at the west end of the village! Look, there is a stone block built there, and the village chief himself built it."
Next to the broken house, if you look carefully, you can see a low wall made of stone bricks, which is used to pile up garbage. But now there is too much garbage, which has far exceeded the prescribed limit, making the surroundings of the cabin full of garbage.
Some villagers sounded disdainful: "Si Qing is not there on weekdays. I don't know where to go to the wild. I occasionally go over to sleep at night, but I can't smell him. Besides, his mother is like that..."
So the crowd began to whisper. Liu Zhuhua's career in the countryside was not only disgraceful, but also attracted a lot of gossip.
Du Yu looked at the two of them helplessly, which meant that he had already understood the situation. Liu Zhuhua's reputation in the village was indeed not very good.
"Mom, let me ask a question." Du Yu began to change the subject.
When he came out of the village, in addition to picking up Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi, he also wanted to visit some old people who went to bed early last night. They like to get together in the evening and can be called the village's intelligence station.
When the villagers saw the police uniform Du Yu was wearing, they were still very obedient and respected the government uniquely to the elderly.
"Did you hear anything or see anyone suspicious last night?" Du Yu pointed to the village chief's house that was on fire: "It's over there."
The old people fell into memories one after another.
Not sure if it was because there was really nothing special last night, or because the elderly have bad memories, everyone shook their heads.
Du Yu was a little disappointed.
Suddenly an old man seemed to remember something and looked excited.
Du Yu's dashed hopes were also rekindled.
"I heard Li Cheng and his wife arguing again last night!" the old man said excitedly.
Then everyone started to sway like grass on the wall, gossiping about the village chief's family affairs: "No, he doesn't like his wife for a long time!"
"If Wang Xiaocui's family hadn't been rich."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Look at Wang Xiaocui's naughty look... as fat as a pig standing up."
Du Yu became disappointed again and sighed heavily.
He had already heard about this kind of family matter from Wang Xiaocui, and it was worthless.
Can a quarrel cost lives?
Then he had long been hanged by his tongue by those who were dissatisfied with his law enforcement.
The three people walked to the scene of the fire. The dark homestead and ruins revealed the misery in the early morning fog.
There are many more people here today than yesterday, and they are chattering non-stop, giving the three members of the task force a headache.
Wang Xiaocui came back from the hospital. Her voice was hoarse from crying and her eyelids were swollen. She was sitting at the door of her home holding some belongings that the firefighters had rescued for her.
Some other strangers were also crying, and Du Yu explained that they were all family members of the deceased... They were considered members of the Wang family, and some of them were family members of Li Cheng's friends and villagers.
"Officer, when can we meet my husband?"
"Is my uncle really dead?"
"My miserable father!"
They also knew that Du Yu was the leader and could speak well, so they immediately surrounded him.
When one person cries, many people cry, and the situation will soon get out of control.
Du Yu had a headache, but he understood the feelings of the family members of the deceased, so he stood up to comfort everyone.
"Wang Xiaocui, I want to ask you some questions about last night." After finally stabilizing the scene, Du Yu quickly pulled Wang Xiaocui aside to take notes: "What time did you leave home last night?"
Wang Xiaocui cried and cried: "Come on seven o'clock. After eating, I thought I would watch a short drama and then go to bed. But I didn't expect that damn guy couldn't hold me down after answering the phone. He insisted on asking someone to come over for a drink... They With this kind of behavior, you can just drink if you call me! No one’s wife can talk easily!”
From her words, everyone could hear Wang Xiaocui's hatred for her husband Li Cheng's alcoholism.
It's a pity that the person is dead now. No matter how much she hates him, she can't hate him anymore when she thinks of the past.
Zhou Shi patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Du Yu asked again: "What did you argue with Li Cheng last night? Is it possible that he did something drastic after drinking?"
To everyone's surprise, Wang Xiaocui looked slightly startled, "I didn't quarrel with him."
"No quarrel?" Du Yu was stunned: "Someone said they heard you and your husband quarreling last night... wasn't it because of drinking?"
Wang Xiaocui shook his head quickly: "How could it be possible? Who would quarrel during the Chinese New Year? Quarrels are unlucky... So even if I get angry again, I will endure it. He knows this about me, so he is so unscrupulous!"
< br>
Speaking of this, both Zhou Shi and Xu Yiqing showed solemn expressions.
Among them, Zhou Shi was the most agile in thinking, and she quickly smelled the clues.
"Since someone said they heard Li Cheng quarreling with you, and you said no, it means that the woman is not you."
Wang Xiaocui waved her hands repeatedly, being extremely serious when it came to a woman's dignity.
"How is it possible? How could there be a woman? When I walked to my mother's house, I realized that I didn't bring my cell phone with me. He didn't answer the call. I went back to get my cell phone! I saw him drunk at the door and didn't know what he was doing. I I was really suspicious and searched the house inside and out, but no one was there, just my uncles and a few of his dog meat friends!”
Zhou Shi has been observing Wang Xiaocui's micro-expressions and winking at everyone.
She didn't lie.
Xu Yiqing and Du Yu looked at each other.
"If Li Cheng did have a big argument with a certain woman, and the passers-by outside heard it, and that person was not you..."
"At the same time, if you are sure that there are no outsiders at home..."
The two walked around to the side of the burned house, near a wooded area.
After walking around the house, I found two less obvious ruts.
"Do you have a car at home?" Du Yu asked.
Wang Xiaocui shook her head firmly.
