Chapter 183 Clues
"Brothers and sisters, do you accept seafood?"
"My fish is well dried. Not only is it big, it is also very delicious and nutritious!"< br>
“There’s me, there’s me, brothers and sisters, look at these sea cucumbers and abalones. They’re huge. I heard eating them is good for your health!”
The little guys met. People stopped and chose to wait and see. They suddenly smiled and started introducing their seafood.
Experiencing this situation for the first time, Zhang Ze touched his nose, covered his mouth and asked softly, "What's going on in the fishing village here? Can it be so blatantly..."
Sell Buy or speculate?
After all, this matter is quite serious, and there are all half-grown children around. Therefore, Zhang Ze's vague words made him look around subconsciously.
“I don’t know, maybe it’s too remote?”
The oldest children surrounding them are no more than ten years old. Their skin is tanned and red, and their necks are thin and their heads are big and their bodies are large. Not a few taels of meat.
"How do you change these?"
"My big backpack only costs one yuan and fifty cents!"
"Ning Ning, someone is here."
He touched her Zhang Ze glanced directly behind her as if to remind her.
The person who came was finally an adult. His face, in his fifties, had deep nasolabial lines that looked like knife carvings. His back was slightly hunched, and the sleeve of one hand was empty. As he walked, he was The sea breeze blows up and down.
"What are you doing, little bastards."
"Grandpa, captain."
"Grandpa~"
Seeing the little guys in front of him Unconsciously, he felt a little scared and took a step back.
“I’ll let the adults of your families give you a good meal later, and you won’t leave.”
You look at me, I look at you, everyone just obediently took two steps back, but they were unwilling to leave just like that.
He sighed silently. As the captain, could he still know what they were thinking?
The fishing village is not short of seafood, but it is very short of staple food. The food distributed to each household is not enough even if you count it.
It is rare that the sea goods salvaged together when going to sea are also collective, and must be exchanged for various daily necessities. Only those children pick up from the sea are considered their own.
But no one is willing to eat this good food. It is understandable that they want to exchange these for money and tickets to subsidize their family, but who said that the authorities will not allow it now.
If the dealer comes to collect the goods in private, then he must be led by someone who knows the details. What's wrong with catching outsiders and swarming them like this? I want to eat free peanuts!
No matter what you say, why don’t you listen, but you have to go against the wind and commit the crime!
The expression on the old captain's face became a little more stern when he thought of it, "Why, what I said didn't work?"
"No, no..."
Maximum The leading child sniffed and winked at the others, who all bowed their heads and retreated reluctantly like frost-beaten vegetable leaves.
"I'm sorry, two comrades. The boys in the village were playing around. Didn't they scare you?"
"No."
It doesn't seem like they would do it if they had a kind face and clear eyes. The old captain calmed down and said, "That's good, that's good."
"Wait."
As if thinking of something, Suning He suddenly called out to the person who turned his back and was about to leave.
Not to mention the old captain, Zhang Ze was surprised for a moment, but he managed his facial expression very well so that no one could notice.
"Old captain, can we exchange for some overseas goods?"
......
It took some hard work to dispel the old captain's concerns. Suning did not bargain and used all the Everyone was very happy that they had successfully exchanged a lot of good sea goods for a large price.
With this pleasant transaction, the two parties have become much closer. From this title, it can be seen that if not completely, at least half of the defenses have been eliminated.
"Xiao Su Xiao Zhang, do you want to go to grandpa's house to cash it in?"
"Unfortunately, grandpa, I still want to ask you something..."
"Oh? What do you mean? , I can tell you everything I know.”
Because of the arrival of the two of them, and her large-scale transaction, everyone in the small fishing village was very happy to have made so much money before the year, and it was rare to light a bonfire. There was singing and dancing in the village center to celebrate.
The blazing flames illuminated her little face, and the bright spots in her eyes also jumped.
After listening to her words and falling into memories, Shi Datian slowly raised his head, "If you ask me anything else, I may not really remember it, but I do have an impression of what you said. "
"Really?"
"Yes, if I remember correctly, you should be talking about September 30th, thirteen years ago?" . ”
“No, no, it’s the end of September, but it should be the 27th.”
Because that was the day his son returned from the army due to illness, how could he not remember clearly?
It was because his son had lost both legs that he went to the beach and the cliff because of the pain and sadness in his heart.
There are usually no people there, so it’s the perfect place to hide and cry quietly.
Of course there is no need to say these words to them. Shi Datian nodded affirmatively, "It was September 27th."
"At that time, Grandpa, you..."
“Someone did go to that cliff at that time, but it was not one person, but a couple and a young man. They did not scatter any ashes but threw a big sack down.”
Tight. Clenching his fists, Suning stared into those wise and aged eyes, "Grandpa Shi, can you still remember the appearance of those three people? That sack...can you tell what it is by how big it is?"
"Appearance..."
Crushing the gravel in his hand, Shi Datian shook his head with some uncertainty. How could he still remember it so clearly after more than ten years.
Due to distance and angle issues, he couldn't see everything about the person, so he could only describe it roughly from memory.
"As for the sack, it is about the same size as what we have seen. The bulging shape inside is strange and the seal is closed. I don't know what it is."
After hearing what he said, Suning and Zhang Ze looked at each other.
According to this description, Xu Zixin is not among the three.
He really didn’t scatter his ashes here, or maybe he wasn’t cremated at all?
Will that sack contain... mother and younger brother?
There is still time, and the time is not right.
"Oh, by the way, the older man has a big mole in the lower right corner of his mouth and a thick black hair on it."
I almost forgot that this is the most important thing. With facial features, Shi Datian quickly added. After speaking, he couldn’t help but patted his head and sighed that he was really old!
"Thank you, thank you, Grandpa Shi."
"It's nothing, you've just got the right point to ask. If there's anything else, I might not be able to help."
With this information, the possibility of finding someone has undoubtedly increased a lot.
Suning is very grateful for the information provided by the old man. Today, he not only exchanged a lot of rich seafood for his money, but also got important clues, which is not a loss at all.
"Grandpa Shi, do you know how many small fishing villages there are in this sea area? According to your experience, where are the sacks thrown from there most likely to float?"
"Then But there are more. As for where it drifts, it is possible in several nearby villages on the other side of the bay."
Seeing her look and her question, Shi Datian had some kind of guess in his heart. A sudden change occurred: Could it be that the sack at that time was actually a person?
However, even if he is a living person, he will be seriously injured if he is thrown from the cliff. The sack is still tied tightly and sealed. If it sinks, it will float back to the shore...
His fingers couldn't help but tremble. Shi Datian tried his best to think back. It seemed that he hadn't heard of a corpse being found in any village in so many years. It was impossible that such a big thing had not spread some rumors.
Could it be? So it was a coincidence that a passing fishing boat picked it up when it was thrown down in front?
It shouldn’t be...
“Grandpa Shi, I have a photo that I want to show you. See if you have seen the person above.”
"Ah, um, okay, let me take a look."
A small black and white photo of Xu Zixin and Su Jinglei when they were young.
Handsome men and beautiful women can make people stunning and memorable with just one glance.
"No, I haven't seen it."
......
With two big bags full of seafood, Zhang Ze returned to the guest house in the county with her.
After putting the things away, Zhang Ze couldn't sit still. Since he knew about this matter, the sooner he investigated, the better. "Ning Ning, wait for me here. I'll go to the black market here."
Finding someone has to be left to professionals.
Having heard about this situation from Xiao Qiao, Suning did not raise any questions and nodded obediently, "Okay, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting here."
“I’ll go back as soon as possible.”
It seemed that they would have to stay here for two more days. Zhang Ze got up, opened the door and strode away.
