"What happened?"
Du Yongxiao just wanted to resolve such a trivial matter quickly. He was focused on reporting to the London Police Department in the afternoon. I don’t know what the training will be like or where I will be assigned to practice.
Soon, everyone was talking about what happened again.
"Ahem, let me be fair -" Du Yongxiao pretended to be a policeman handling the case, "Any proof requires evidence! Peter, you said Jim is related to the disappearance of your civet cat, do you have any evidence?"
"This-" Peter was speechless.
Seeing Peter's hesitation, Du Yongxiao planned to strike while the iron was hot and end the case - a civet cat deserved such labor and effort.
"We all live in this village, and we can't see each other without looking up. It's understandable that we occasionally have conflicts over small things, but we can't accuse people unfairly!" Du Yongxiao said righteously, "So if there is no real evidence for this matter, let's forget it. Let’s shake hands and make peace, okay?”
"This gentleman is right, you can't frame others without evidence!"
"Yes, everything must be based on evidence!"
When Jim heard this, a smile finally appeared on his dull face.
Peter's face was tangled, he grabbed his hair suddenly, his eyes were bloodshot and he said, "I have evidence!"
"Uh, what?"
Everyone was surprised and looked at him.
Du Yongxiao said calmly: "What evidence?"
"He was seen secretly burying the body!" Peter pointed at Jim, "Just an hour ago!"
Jim was anxious and waved his hands in a hurry: "Don't say this nonsense! Who saw it?!"
"Huh, you still want to cheat?" Peter risked his life. "Just now, the beekeeper brought whiskey and drank with me. He drank too much and told me! He also told me the place where you buried the civet cat!"
"You, you, you, you are talking nonsense!" Jim blushed.
"Originally, the beekeeper didn't let me tell him, but now - it's you who forced me!"
Du Yongxiao had a headache. He wanted to end this farce quickly and go back, but he didn't expect another beemaker to be involved.
Everyone in the village knows this beekeeper. He wanders back and forth in the suburbs of London all year round, raising peaks wherever the rapeseed flowers are blooming. This village is where he often stays.
Especially in May and June every year, the rapeseed flowers around the village are blooming brilliantly. Beekeepers like to stay here. While raising bees and collecting honey, they help people do some small jobs. As soon as they come and go, they become familiar with the villagers here, especially with them. Peter got along very well, and the two often drank together until dawn until they were extremely drunk.
Du Yongxiao took out his handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth, pretending to be calm and calm: "Now that the beekeeper has seen it, is he willing to come out and testify?"
"I do!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a brown-haired man stood up with his hand raised, "I am willing to testify that I personally saw Jim secretly burying a body nearby an hour ago - a very small one, probably the civet cat's!"
Du Yongxiao waved his handkerchief impatiently: "Since you said so, let's go and see together! What the truth is, it will be clear soon! By the way, grab the shovel!"
…
Phew!
Phew!
The shovel dug into the dirt next to the toilet.
The soil was very soft, and it looked like it had just been churned.
The villagers didn't mind the smell of the toilet, and they all gathered around to watch.
Du Yongxiao covered his nose with a handkerchief, hoping to close the case quickly. His lofty ideal was to return to Hong Kong after training, not to solve these trivial matters.
Jim looked obviously nervous.
Peter also looked nervous and looked at the beekeeper from time to time.
The beekeeper looked confident and pointed at the tunnel: "Dig hard, it must be inside, I saw it with my own eyes!"
Another three iron shovels went down.
"Come out! Come out!"
A small thing appeared in the pit, wrapped in black burlap clothes. It looked like a big civet cat.
"Civet, that's my civet!" Peter lamented, "This bastard must have killed my civet and buried it here!"
Du Yongxiao frowned, "Open it and take a look!"
A strong white man squatted down and tore off the tattered clothes with his hands——
suddenly--
"Son!"
The moment the clothes were torn off, a woman in the crowd was seen lying on the ground, crying loudly: "Why are you here? God, who killed you?"
Look, what was wrapped in the clothes was not the corpse of a civet cat at all, but a lifeless child with an ashen face!
…
"how so?"
"If it's not a civet cat, how can it be a child?"
"Anna, stop crying! What happened?"
"Yeah, why is little Mike here?"
The child's mother, Anna, was still crying.
The beekeeper pointed at Jim's nose: "It must be you! You are the murderer! You killed this child!"
Jim was stunned and waved his hands hurriedly: "No, I didn't! I really didn't!"
There was a commotion at the scene.
There was a murder and someone started calling the police.
Peter was also stunned, where is my cat? Where is the body?
"Catch the murderer! Don't let this nigger escape!" Several white people roared.
"catch him!"
Jim was frightened and wanted to escape, but was controlled by someone.
"Want to escape? It's not that easy!"
"Damn nigga, you kill someone and you want to get away?"
Two white men pushed Jim to the ground.
The people around him were filled with indignation and shouted at Jim to kill him.
Jim screamed that he was wronged, but no one would listen to him.
"Please, God, save me!" Jim knelt on the ground and could only place his last hope on Du Yongxiao. He looked at Du Yongxiao eagerly and begged him for help.
Du Yongxiao wanted to leave, but when he saw this, he said: "Wait!"
Everyone looked at him.
The beekeeper and the woman Anna also looked at him.
Du Yongxiao looked at the child's body with his hands behind his back, and then walked around the body twice.
The white butler followed him, bewildered.
As an excellent housekeeper, although he was responsible for serving Du Yongxiao, he did not think that Du Yongxiao was very good. To be precise, he only cared about money. Seeing Du Yongxiao "playing tricks" at this moment, he couldn't help but shake his head.
"Who is the murderer? Let me ask the child myself!"
"Huh? What does that mean?"
"Ask the dead?"
"interesting!"
Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao curiously.
The white housekeeper shook his head. A policeman investigating a case wants to interrogate a dead person? How ridiculous!
In full view-——
Du Yongxiao squatted down gently and put his face close to the child's mouth——
A magical scene happened.
The child's mouth is actually moving!
"Is he talking?"
"Oh, God!"
Everyone was stunned by this strange scene.
The child's mother, Anna, was so shocked that she collapsed to the ground and stared at the child.
The beekeeper's face also changed greatly, and he looked at everything in front of him.
The scene was eerily quiet.
Everyone looked at Du Yongxiao.
After Du Yongxiao listened to the child's speech, he raised his head, glanced at the crowd, and said, "He said, the murderer is -"
Du Yongxiao pointed at the beemaker: "He!"
