    The sky was clear all morning and it was a little foggy at noon. Song Wen and Lu Siyu came out of the depressing small yard. The streets in the village are narrower than those in the city. This mosquito-head village is famous for growing tea. There is a tea garden in the mountains and forests in the distance, all of which are half-human-high tea trees, and birds fly in circles from time to time in the air.

    Lu Siyu said: "I brought food here, why don't we find a place to heat it?"

    Song Wen nodded. It was mealtime, and the village was quiet, with the occasional dog barking. He raised his head and did the chest expansion exercise: "Don't say, the air in this place is really good, much better than in the city, it is very suitable for a tourist attraction or a farmhouse."

    Lu Siyu was still thinking about things, so he lowered his head and hummed.

    Song Wen added: "This case doesn't feel too complicated. There are only so many people in the village, and fewer qualified ones. If you investigate one by one, the murderer will definitely be found in a day or two, so you can take a vacation and breathe. Get some fresh air."

    The two walked along the road in the village and walked a few hundred meters forward. Song Wen suddenly pointed to the mountain road on the side: "There is someone in this place who thinks the same as me, there really is a small resort."

    Lu Siyu was interrupted by him, and following his fingers, he saw an advertising sign on the side of the road with the words "Welcome to Mosquito Head Village Resort", and the following lines of small words, "Three thousand Wanping natural oxygen bar, detached villa four-star hotel, modern hot spring bath.”

    The slogan was quite bluffing. Their eyes looked up the mountain and walked up a tree-lined road. Not far away, there were a few particularly tall trees with luxuriant canopies. A few small villas can be seen in the distance.

    Lu Siyu had been worried about the accommodation environment for a long time. When he saw this resort, his eyes lit up. The two walked in along the trail. Although this resort is not big, it is very cleverly designed. Several villas pass through a The closed corridors are connected together, and the summer scenery is very pleasing to the eye. There is a small artificial lake outside the cloister, which must be used as a hot spring, but it has not been built yet.

    The front desk is the little girl in the village, and told them that the boss used to be a tea farmer in the village. Later, when he made a fortune, he rented land with the village and built these small villas. Increase employment opportunities, develop tourism resources, and give back the kindness of parenting to the hometown.

    Lu Siyu turned his head and looked at the lake with his eyes. The shimmering water moved with the wind, reflecting his pupils, like a broken diamond.

    Song Wen looked at the scenery and then looked back at the beauty, jokingly said: "The scenery here is good, and it is considered a high-end lake view room, so you are satisfied."

    Lu Siyu's pointed lower jaw lightly tapped, and he was no longer picky.

    This resort caters for elderly tour groups. The price is cheap and the facilities are good. didn't expect it to be in short supply. Recently, a group went to Xiqiao to transfer the base of this resort. The people were not here, but the room was not returned, and the luggage was also put away. Here. In the end there were only two vacancies left. One standard room, one queen bed.

    Song Wen took three room cards and turned to look at Lu Siyu, "What are you going to do tonight?"

    Lu Siyu lowered his head and whispered, "I sleep lightly at night."

    Song Wen generously handed the big bed room card to Lu Siyu and said, "Then I slept with Lao Lin at night, you have a good rest."

    After they checked in at the resort, Lu Siyu asked the front desk to help warm the food they brought, and then the two found a farmhouse outside.

    In this restaurant between the mountains and fields, the tables, chairs and dishes are quite simple, but the ingredients are very fresh. And that freshness is the kind that no amount of seasonings or superb techniques can make.

    The loofah is tender, soft and sweet, and it feels like it has just been picked from the vine. The chicken soup has been skimmed off the oil, not so greasy. The color of the soup is golden and the chicken is firm. When you put it in a bowl, you will smell the aroma. You can taste the same as the chickens in the chicken farm after taking a sip of the soup. Not a breed. There are also fresh bamboo shoots and various mushrooms picked after the rain on the mountain, stir-fried with fresh pork that has just been killed, all kinds of delicious aromas of the countryside are mixed, and the superposition erupts, which can almost lose the tongue. The boss heard that it was the police who came to handle the case, and he also gave a plate of white cut meat. I don't know what the gravy was made of. It was a little spicy, but it was fragrant.

    The level of farmhouse entertainment was far beyond the expectations of the two of them. Lu Siyu couldn't help but move his chopsticks this time. Song Wen also made an appointment with the boss to come back in the evening.

    After eating, Song Wen couldn't help but go to the village for a walk to inquire about news. When Lu Siyu came over in the morning, he was a little dizzy by the winding mountain road. Instead of following Song Wen, he went to lie down in his room for a while.

    In the afternoon, Song Wen came back with the news.

    This village is a medium-sized village. Everyone knows each other. Every day they look down and don’t look up to see each other. If there is a little trouble, it only takes half a day to spread the word.

    Song Wen went around the village, and many people provided information. After he came back, he told Lu Siyu the news that he thought was valuable.

    First of all, around ten o'clock last night, someone saw a man in a raincoat wandering around. At that time, the rain had stopped, and wearing a raincoat was a bit dazzling. But because it was dark, no one could see who it was, only a tall and thin man.

    And recently, there is a piece of land in the village to build a modern farm, and the boss in the city gave a good price for the land that the secretary in the village came forward to collect. As for the land, dozens of acres are needed. If you plan from the west, you will be the Wang family's land. If you plan from the east, it will be the Zhou family. Therefore, this week's family and Wang's family were not very happy, and they had a fight not long ago. The village committee has been coordinating the matter.

    The third is the previous incident where the Zhou family's children drowned. The child went out with his father Zhou Chuguo at noon. According to Zhou Chuguo, he looked down at the phone for a while, then looked up and the child disappeared. Immediately, he went to the village party secretary and Zhang Dahai, and the whole village went out to help him find the child. It was not until the evening that he found it in the lower reaches of the creek.

    Children in the village often play with water in the pond. The child would have been drinking water, but he drowned for no reason. Moreover, there are people and shops along the creek. If the child shouted for help, someone would definitely hear it. . Some people in the village said that the child was hooked by a water ghost, covering his mouth and nose, so he couldn't cry out, and some people said that at night, he could hear cries by the stream, as if it was haunted...

    Song Wen said this over and over again: "I don't know if it's my illusion. People in this village always hesitate to mention the Zhou family's children."

    After hearing this, Lu Siyu frowned slightly: "The man in the raincoat is probably the murderer, and the characteristics and time are very suitable. As for the land fight, that fight might be the origin of Zhou Chuguo's injuries. As for the ghost , certainly does not exist, I always feel that the child's death is a bit strange."

    Song Wen nodded and said, "I heard just now that Zhang Dahai also went to Wang's house after eating. Let's go there to check the situation first."

    Lu Siyu followed Song Wen to take a shortcut from the back of the resort and went down the mountain. As soon as he walked near the Wang's house, he saw a group of people noisily watching the excitement at the door.

    The two walked to the door of the farmhouse, and saw the little policeman below Zhang Dahai blocking the door, trying to close it, but a group of melon-eating people gathered outside the door. There are male and female voices, intertwined, and it is as lively as a big opera.

    Song Wen separated the crowd and saw Zhang Dahai standing in the yard, handcuffing a middle-aged man in his forties, and was about to go out. The man was pierced and dark-skinned. There was also a middle-aged woman in the yard holding on to Zhang Dahai's trousers without letting go. The three were in a stalemate for a while, and no one could move the other. Zhang Dahai shouted: "You are going against the sky, and you dare not listen to what the police say." The man shouted: "Zhang Tou, I didn't kill anyone! Why arrest me!" The woman also shouted. : "Who judges and judges, what kind of world is this, the police have wronged people!"

    Song Wen hurried over to ask Zhang Dahai's situation: "Didn't I ask you to investigate the suspects? What's going on?"

    Zhang Dahai said: "Officer Song, I have checked the time for lunch just now in the village. This man is called Wang Yu, and his height is suitable. He used to be quite familiar with the Zhou family, and he is also an electrician in this village. Tian had a conflict with the Zhou family. He just had a fight with Zhou Chuguo and threatened to give each other some color. After the rain last night, he was away from home for a while. Who else is there? Go back and find out if you go back earlier."

    Song Wen also heard from the villagers that there was a dispute between the Wang family and the Zhou family, but that was not the way he asked. Handcuffs? Hurry up and untangle the person!" He turned his head and pulled the woman away again: "We're working on a case, just ask your man to find out the situation." After hearing this, the woman let go of her hands crying.

    Zhang Dahai untied the handcuffs with an unhappy expression on his face. The out-of-control scene was finally brought under control. With the help of Lu Siyu, the little policeman Xiao Meng also closed the door and dispersed the crowd who were watching the excitement.

    Song Wen turned around and said, "There are too many people outside, so don't go to the police station, just ask here, you and your wife come in together."

    Song Wen didn't look fierce, but he was very serious. He was straight, and his thoughts were clear. .

    They entered the door and sat down facing each other. Song Wen's eyes swept across the man's face. This man had the appearance of an ordinary countryman, with thick eyebrows, a round face and dark skin.

    I don't know if it was his illusion. After entering the room, Song Wen smelled a faint aroma, but he couldn't identify what was coming from it.

    Since he had to clean up the mess, Song Wen didn't come in order, and asked the man straight to the point: "Is your name Wang Yu? Did you fight with Zhou Chuguo before?"

    The one called Wang Yu got excited, and murmured a local dialect, but Song Wen didn't hear a few words clearly, and said coldly, "Speak Mandarin."

    The man snorted, gritted his teeth and said, "That kid is not authentic, the land acquisition was settled two months ago, and it was originally my turn. He took advantage of the village chief before he took office. I went to the village party secretary and went to the boss who was going to come here, and I insisted on changing it."

    Song Wen: "You never thought of taking revenge on their family for the land acquisition?"

    Wang Yudao: "The result of the land acquisition was reported, and then there was no more. To be honest, if the result came out and they chose their house, then I would go to hell with him, but now that the result has not come down, I have no reason to go. "

    Zhang Dahai on the side sneered and interjected: "You clearly threatened Zhou Chuguo when you were fighting, saying that you would show their family's color."

    Wang Yudao: "This... fight, who doesn't say a few harsh words? Besides, I won that fight. This time their whole family died, and it was retribution, but I really didn't kill the police officer. I want to The land of my family was expropriated for money, and I killed people and got no money."

    Song Wen asked again, "When did you fight that fight?"

    "It was probably at noon last Wednesday, before I ate." Wang Yu recalled, "He made the first move. Many people in this village can testify that he knocked out a tooth from me, and he didn't ask for it. How cheap is it, I was beaten up by me."

    The Wang family in this village is a big family, and all the witnesses are his relatives. What else can they prove? Song Wen put the topic aside and continued to ask, "Are you an electrician in this village?"

    Wang Yu nodded: "I have learned the craft from the master for two years. We built a house in our village, and I connected 80% of the electricity."

    "Did you know that Zhou Chuguo's family was electrocuted?" Song Wen asked.

    Wang Yu scratched his head, "I slept until after nine o'clock in the morning, and then I heard about it after I woke up, but it's even more unlikely that I did it. First of all, when I followed the master, the master taught me that I should not joke about electricity. , This is the same as a serious unlocker and not a thief, you think, I eat this bowl of rice, and there are only a few people in our village, so this electrocution can't be the first time to suspect me?"

    Speaking of this, Zhang Dahai laughed aside, "You kid has a lot of rhetoric, but you still want to deny it?"

    Song Wen stretched out a hand, stopped Zhang Dahai, and continued to ask, "Where were you after 8 o'clock last night?"

    "I... I went to the village activity room to play cards." The man stammered slightly.

    "Nonsense, those few poker players helped you cover at the beginning, and then I frightened them and they all told the truth. You didn't go at all yesterday." Zhang Dahai exposed his lie, in order to show that he did not catch the wrong person , and added, "If you didn't pick up the wires last night, why are you panicking now?"

    "Yeah, what did the police ask you about? You said you went to play cards at 8 o'clock last night, and went out for more than two hours before returning. Where did you go then?" The woman reacted at this time and looked at her house. Man, start to dismantle his stand.

    "I originally wanted to play cards, but then I went around and saw that I had no place and came back. They probably didn't see me, and then I walked around the village." At this time, the man lost his arrogance and arrogance Calmly, he reached out his hand and touched his nose, but added, "I haven't broken the law, can you control where I go? You police officers have to show some evidence that I did it, so you can't slander me for no reason. ?"

    For a while, there was a fight in the room again. When Song Wen asked questions just now, Lu Siyu had been standing by the side coldly. He leaned against the door, biting his fingernails, silently watching the farce in the room, as if Everything has nothing to do with him. But after hearing Wang Yu's words, he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and blinked.

    Then Lu Siyu got up and looked at the footprints left in the yard just now. Some of those footprints belonged to Zhang Dahai, as well as those left by Wang Yu and her wife. Lu Siyu thought for a while, and then looked at Wang Yu's. The trousers were stained with some bright yellow powder, and he shook his head and whispered: "It shouldn't be him."

    There was a lot of noise in the room. Lu Siyu's voice was not too loud, but it suddenly attracted Song Wen's attention. He was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Lu Siyu to make a judgment so quickly.

    Lu Siyu turned his head and asked the woman, "How long was your husband out last night?"

    The woman thought for a while: "Two hours."

    Lu Siyu turned to Wang Yu again and stretched out a plain white hand: "Can you give me your mobile phone to cooperate with the investigation?"

    Wang Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and squinted his phone tightly, his expression seemed to kill him: "I'm just cooperating with your questions, why are you checking my phone?"

    Lu Siyu withdrew his hand. Just now, he was just testing, and he was not prepared for Wang Yu to be able to hand over his mobile phone. Then he turned to look at the woman again, and whispered, "Recently, you should ask about the family's accounts."

    The woman heard this and saw Wang Yu's actions at this time, she suddenly became suspicious, squinted her eyes at Wang Yu, and asked him, "You... have you met someone in this village? I'm here, and you won't tell the police where you went for the past two hours last night!?"

    Seeing that the husband and wife were going to fight again, Song Wen felt that there was no need to continue the trial. He got up and asked Zhang Dahai, "Apart from this suspect, is there any other candidate?"

    Zhang Dahai was a little flustered, feeling that Wang Yu's situation had lost his face, and said while holding the woman's hand: "Ah, looking at my memory, I thought there was no suspect, but after careful investigation, Half of the village has grievances and grievances, I will make the list later for you to ask slowly."

    Here they were talking, Lu Siyu got up and made a gesture to Song Wen, and walked straight out. Song Wen didn't care about Zhang Dahai, and hurried a few steps to keep up. He didn't understand what happened just now. , chasing after Lu Siyu and asking, "How did you see it?"

    Lu Siyu, the instigator of the war, pretended to be innocent: "I didn't see anything. As a criminal police officer, I have to give evidence, but I can't talk nonsense." Then he whispered, "That was his wife's misunderstanding, I don't even think so. He's cheating."

    Song Wen has long been accustomed to his black belly: "I'm still curious, what did you see?"
