As a police officer, he is very experienced in watching people.
The way Teacher Zhang looked just now was obviously lying.
Her hatred for Zhou Lin was too superficial, and she was a little panicked. Obviously there was something he didn't know about.
Another point is, how could the photos of Teacher Zhang when he was young be handed over to others casually?
These days, taking a photo is very luxurious, let alone more than ten years ago.
However, the police did not alert the suspect. Instead, they returned to the police station and briefly told the director what had happened.
The director nodded, "Since you found that this person is lying, continue the investigation."
"Also, this matter may involve more things than we imagined. To be on the safe side, tell Comrade Lin Xiaoyu not to go out recently and to pay more attention to safety on weekdays."
Compared to the town, Lin Xiaoyu was definitely safer in the village.
Not to mention the presence of Mr. Hu and his gang, secondly, the village is relatively small, and any outsider who comes there will be noticed immediately.
The police agreed and quickly came to the village to find Lin Xiaoyu and told them about today's investigation. This was also the director's instruction.
You can tell Lin Xiaoyu about the investigation process and the information obtained.
This girl is smart. She might be able to spot the problem at some point and help them out.
Hearing the police's description, Lin Xiaoyu nodded, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of my own safety in the near future. As for what you mentioned about Teacher Zhang, I think her relationship with Zhou Lin should be closer."
"Zhou Lin hid this photo beside his bed. There are only two possibilities. First, this teacher Zhang is very important to him, and it is very likely that there is a relationship between a man and a woman."
"Second, that is why he took out this photo, or what he needs the people in this photo to do for him."
The policeman's eyes lit up, "You are right, it is indeed possible. If the two of them know each other, they can't hide it. Please ask Comrade Lin Xiaoyu for me in the village, and I will go to the town to see look."
The police deliberately left photos and then left.
Lin Xiaoyu came to the village chief's house and took out Teacher Zhang's photo.
"Village chief, have you ever seen this woman?"
The village chief took a look and shook his head, "No, I am old now and my memory is not good. Even some people I have met, I can't remember. But you can ask Aunt Li in the village."
"She is very good at recognizing people, but she will definitely never forget anyone she meets. If someone comes to visit a relative who is a distant relative that they have never met before, they will definitely ask her if she has been here before. "
"Our village has avoided being deceived twice because of her."
Lin Xiaoyu recalled carefully and discovered that Aunt Li was not public in the village, and could even be said to be a bit quiet.
On weekdays, I just close the door and live my own life, not caring about other people's affairs.
If it weren't for her ability to recognize people, no one in the village would have much contact with her.
Lin Xiaoyu put the photo aside first. She had more important things to do this afternoon, which was the completion ceremony of the road.
Since ancient times, road construction has been a major event. Whenever the road construction is completed, a ceremony will be held to bless the road for longer use and to pray for good weather.
In addition to the red cloth and paper brought by Zheng Hao, sacrifices, such as meat, are also needed.
For this reason, the village raised funds to buy a whole live pig and killed it on the spot.
Wash the pig's head and put it on a red cloth.
As for the other pork, it will be distributed to those in the village who pay after the sacrificial ceremony is over.
As a sponsor of this road, Lin Xiaoyu naturally had to attend the ceremony.
However, she left everything to the village chief and stayed by to watch the fun and act as a mascot.
The ritual process is not complicated.
The first step is to place the sacrifices first, and then the elders in the village will come forward and say some sacrificial terms.
The young people in the village performed another ritual dance.
Afterwards, the sacrifices were placed on the table.
These tributes need to be placed here for three days, and during these three days, people in the village will watch the good things to prevent them from being stolen.
Lin Xiaoyu can understand the thoughts of the ancients. At that time, technology was not developed, and there was no solution to many problems. The only thing he could do was to pray to God.
How can we expect them not to be ignorant in an age where everything depends on the sky?
By the time the sacrifice was over, the sun had already set.
Everyone was overjoyed, and the road would be officially opened in three days.
By then, every household will come and feel that this is the new road for their village!
After the sacrificial ceremony was over, everyone in the village was given pork, and Lin Xiaoyu also saw the Li family's aunt.
The other party carried a basket, put the pork in it, and walked toward home without saying a word.
"Aunt Li, wait a moment." Lin Xiaoyu opened his mouth and called out to her.
Aunt Li turned her head, her face expressionless, and her eyes showed a little surprise, as if she didn't expect Lin Xiaoyu to call her.
"What's the matter with you?"
Aunt Li has a cold personality, and she doesn't like to get together to chat and gossip like other women.
So of course she became an anomaly in the village, and many people would occasionally say behind her back that she didn't fit in with the crowd.
However, apart from not being communicative, there is nothing else worthy of criticism about Aunt Li.
Lin Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Aunt Li, I came here this time to ask you to help me look at someone to see if you have seen him before."
Aunt Li nodded, "Okay, where is he?"
"It's not a person, it's a photo." After saying that, Lin Xiaoyu took out the photo and said, "Aunt Li, have you seen this person before? He is related to Zhou Lin."
Aunt Li picked up the photo, looked up and down, looked at it again and again, "You have to know that photos are still a little different from people. If they are people I have seen, I will definitely remember them, but as for photos... I can't guarantee it."
"It doesn't matter, Aunt Li, just tell the truth. It's not a big deal."
"Okay, since you said that, let me tell you. Judging from the face in this photo, I should have seen her before, but it was a long time ago."
"In my mind, I may not have seen her for many years. If someone came here, I would definitely be able to remember more."
"Aunt Li, do you still remember what she was doing when you saw her?"
Aunt Li shook her head, "I don't know about that. I only remember people but not things. But I have never been out in the past few years. If I can see this person, it means that she must have been in the village. You can ask again. Others, maybe some of them still remember it.”
