"What happened?" I also became nervous.
"That's it..." The village chief was too embarrassed to speak.
"That's what you said." I was anxious.
"It was the fish pond in the village, and two people drowned one after another." The village chief sighed and told the truth.
"Why is this happening? Are you from the village?" I quickly walked around the tea table and sat next to the village chief.
"Over the years, outsiders still occasionally come to the village. Now the village no longer digs for treasures. Instead, we have some farmhouse entertainment. We usually go fishing and so on. City people like it very much, but people drowned..." the village chief said. Started wiping tears again.
"I'll go take a look with you. Don't worry, I'll help you solve it." I said and got up and took out the phone. Why hasn't this guy come back yet?
"Haha, junior brother, have you missed me?" Before I dialed the number, a voice came from outside the store, and Dahei stood up and wagged his tail.
This can only mean that Heizi is back.
This kid held a small freezer in his arms and placed it directly in the corner.
I turned around and went out again, and then brought in two more plastic buckets. The plastic buckets were full of liquid. I knew what they were as soon as I thought about them.
After going out again, three more black suitcases came in. Looking at the boxes, you can tell that the things inside are not simple.
"Hey, village chief, why are you here?" Heizi then saw the village chief.
"Stop talking nonsense, something happened in the village, we have to go." I said and turned around to pack my things.
"Heizi, Xiaotian, I'll go back first, please hold on tight." The village chief said in a sad tone.
"I'll give it to you." Heizi said and put down his things.
"It's okay, I drove here." The village chief smiled and patted Heizi.
That's right, our village is no longer the poor place it used to be. It seems that our village has become rich since I left.
As soon as the village chief left, Heizi rushed over and closed the store door, and pulled me to the table.
"Why are you so crazy? Something happened in the village. Leave quickly." I threw away my hand impatiently.
"A sharpening knife never wastes time cutting firewood. After yesterday's lack of ammunition, I thought about it all night..." Heizi said and opened a suitcase in front of him.
"Damn it, you want to be arrested?" I was so frightened that I took a step back.
Because this guy had two pistols in his suitcase.
"It's fake, water gun, I've never seen the world..." Heizi looked at me proudly.
"You came to the city just to buy this? What are you using it for?" I couldn't laugh or cry.
"Water gun, as the name suggests, the bullets need to be soaked in water. If I soak the bullets in a child's urine, wouldn't the effect be a thousand times better than that of a water gun?" Heizi proudly picked up one and handed it to me.
"It seems like this. The range is longer, the accuracy is higher, and the ammunition is easier to carry." I said, playing with the water gun in my hand.
"Hey, you also know about guns?" Heizi asked with a smile.
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly." I urged again.
"Wait while I load the ammunition." Heizi said, squatting down and opening a plastic bucket.
The crystal clear inside is already filled with water bombs, no, urine bombs.
"Where did you get the boy's urine this time?" I asked, pinching my nose.
"Liujiacun, ask Asheng to call his friends, and you can have as many as you want." Heizi looked at me proudly.
"Yours is in another box." Heizi said.
Actually I like these things, and all men like them.
It's just that my childhood was different from others. I said no, but opened the box honestly.
Heizi also thoughtfully prepared a gun belt so that he could hang the two urine bomb guns under his ribs. Once the coat was on, nothing could be seen.
But don't let me do anything like loading urine bombs.
Watching Heizi fishing around in the urine bucket with plastic gloves on, I felt sick for a while.
I didn't expect that the contents of his small refrigerator were all bags of urine. I was really convinced.
"It is good to have advanced technology. This is a combination of Taoism and technology. This is called progress, do you understand?" Heizi stood up and said.
"Strange tricks, wicked ways..." I couldn't help complaining.
"Hmph, you'll know when the time comes. Let's go." Heizi put on his magazine, packed his equipment, and opened the store door.
I also brought the cloth bag left by my master. This time I learned from my experience and brought everything I should bring.
On the road back to the village, it has been six years since I set foot on this road again, and I don’t even recognize it anymore.
The narrow dirt road disappeared, and in front of us was a wide and flat asphalt road.
I try not to think about the past, but I still can't forget that my grandfather died on this road.
Dahei seemed to understand my thoughts and licked me from the back row.
"This time we have the equipment and the three brothers are here to help. No matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem." Heizi drove the car proudly.
"Don't be too arrogant. Things may not be simple this time. Two people drowned in the fish pond in the village. If they were water ghosts, it would be a bit more difficult." I said and looked out the window.
"What? Then my guy here is useless? How can I fight in the water?" Heizi was suddenly discouraged.
"I'm not sure, I'll wait and see what happens." I said and closed my eyes.
I'm not sleeping. I'm recalling how my master told me about similar situations and how they were handled.
Heizi was more familiar with the roads in the village than I was. He drove the car directly to the village chief's house. Normally, this kind of matter would only be handled at the village chief's house.
The village has changed a lot. The village chief's house is no longer the small flat-story building it used to be. A three-story small foreign-style building can be seen inside the snow-white courtyard wall.
There were already crowds of people outside the courtyard wall, most of them familiar faces. Looking at everything familiar but unfamiliar in front of me, I didn’t have the courage to get out of the car for a moment.
"Let's go, you'll have to face it sooner or later. After everything is over, you should go and pay homage to your family." Heizi noticed my embarrassment and comforted me softly.
"Kuroko.."
"Is this...Xiaotian?"
"Xiaotian is back?"
When I got out of the car, the villagers immediately gathered around me, and many of them recognized me at a glance.
"Uncle, aunt, uncle, aunt..." I had to laugh and greet each other.
After shouting in a circle, everyone told me that my family was short-lived. The reality was warmer than I imagined, and everyone cared more about me.
Several grandparents even pulled me to wipe my tears.
"Xiaotian..." Heizi interrupted the greetings between me and the villagers with a low shout.
I looked in the direction Heizi pointed and saw a police car parked behind the crowd.
Following Heizi through the crowd, there were two bodies covered with white cloth in the open space outside the wall of the village chief's home.
I frowned, walked straight over, squatted next to the body and raised my hand to uncover the white cloth.
The faces of the two corpses were blue-gray, and their eyes were wide and bloodshot. Their fists were clenched, and their entire bodies were stretched straight.
Judging from the appearance of the corpse, I had an idea.
"What are you doing?" When I was about to further examine the body, a smart female voice interrupted me.
I looked up and saw a cold and charming policewoman standing in front of the village chief's house, looking at me angrily.
"This is a member of our village, Xiaotian, come into the house..." Fortunately, the village chief rushed out in time.
I raised my hand to cover the body, stood up and greeted the villagers with a smile. Amidst everyone's whispers, I pulled Heizi into the courtyard of the village chief's house.
In fact, I believe that the villagers must have heard about my experiences over the years. Everyone should have more or less guessed that I suddenly appeared after six years of absence.
The village chief waited for us to enter the courtyard, and immediately turned around and closed the courtyard door, blocking out the villagers' discussions outside.
There was also a policeman sitting at the Eight Immortals Table in the courtyard. He looked to be in his forties, with a calm and upright expression on his face, and he was not angry just sitting there.
"Xiaotian, Heizi, this is police officer Wang Shiqing." The village chief introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Officer Wang." Heizi and I nodded to the man and said hello.
"Hello." Officer Wang smiled very kindly.
"This is Officer Zhou Jiaonan." The village chief turned to the policewoman who had just scolded me.
"Hello, Officer Zhou." Heizi and I greeted politely.
"Who are you? How can you mess around with corpses? If evidence is destroyed, can you bear the responsibility?" The police officer was still angry this week, but he didn't look kindly on us, especially me.
"Officer Zhou, to be honest, I invited them." The village chief smiled awkwardly, and his voice gradually lost confidence.
"Village Chief, professional matters should be left to professionals. It's okay for this second-rate detective to look for kittens and puppies, but what we have to deal with now is a criminal case." Officer Zhou rolled his eyes at me as he said this.
If it weren't for her handsomeness, I would have really wanted to criticize her. Did the co-author treat us as second-rate detectives?
