Chapter 48 Investigation
A dilapidated house, the interior of the house was in a mess, the paper covering the top windows was torn and dusty. The corners of the wall were covered with fragments of spider webs, but the spiders were already shriveled and hanging there. The dust on the bed was as thick as a joint.
"crunch"
The crumbling door was pushed open, and a rickety figure walked in from the outside. Wang Erniu looked at the people who suddenly appeared in the room, and said with a blank expression: "There's someone here again, you can ask whatever you want." Bar."
Lin Fan and Shen Qingli looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Li Lanfang's death would hit Wang Erniu so hard. Moreover, judging from Wang Erniu's expression, many people came to inquire before, but the curse was never broken, which made him feel discouraged and lost hope in life.
Shen Qingli asked: "Uncle Wang, did you notice anything unusual back then?"
"No. Same as usual."
"Then was there anyone suspicious at that time?"
"No, there are only these people in our village. If people from outside come to the village, everyone will know about it."
…………
Shen Qingli asked several questions in succession, and Wang Erniu answered them truthfully. Everything was the same as usual, and the curse seemed to appear suddenly.
"Uncle Wang, I heard that you and your wife found a child back then, right?" Lin Fan interrupted and asked.
A soft expression flashed across Wang Erniu's face, but his tone remained dull, "Yes, the child was by the river at that time. My wife almost froze to death when she brought him back."
While talking, Bai Lang came in carrying a pole from outside. He shouted to everyone: "Dad, I'm back. Are you guests of the village chief's house?"
When Wang Erniu saw his son coming back, a smile appeared on his dry face: "Bai Lang, go and do your work. I'll talk to him."
Bai Lang walked towards his room obediently. When closing the door, he couldn't help but look at Lin Fan and others.
After asking some questions again, Lin Fan and others left Wang Erniu's house.
Walking on the desolate street, Nie Kaixuan complained with a boring look: "You haven't asked anything. The information Wang Erniu said is useless at all. He is either farming or taking care of children. He is no different from ordinary farmers." ah."
Shen Qingli was also puzzled: "Logically speaking, before something like this happens, something special will happen, such as digging for treasures, touching evil objects, etc. However, according to what Wang Erniu said, this Nothing happened in this village for decades.”
Lin Fan didn't say anything and led the two of them towards the other houses.
Li San's family is in the same situation as Wang Erniu's family. They are destitute and crazy. They always mutter: "My child, you died so unjustly! No, you are not my child! You bitch" ! You all must die!!" When he saw Lin Fan and the three of them, he became even more violent and drove several of them out with a series of blows and beatings.
Picking off the vegetable leaves on his forehead, Nie Kaixuan cursed: "This man is a lunatic, damn!"
"Hey, why are you here?" Wang Qiang's voice sounded from behind.
Lin Fan picked up the vegetable leaves on his body, looked back, and saw Wang Qiang standing not far behind him, holding some food in his hand.
"This old man Li has been crazy for many years, and you can't even ask him anything." Wang Qiang walked in and said.
"You have to give it a try. What are these meals of yours?" Lin Fan said with a smile.
"It's for Old Man Li. My father said that Old Man Li has been working hard all his life. It's so pitiful that Old Man Li has to work hard all his life. It's so pitiful that he has no one to take care of him at home. He asked me to bring him some food from time to time. , so as not to starve to death.”
"The village chief is really thoughtful."
"Of course, my father is the best. I won't tell you anymore, I have to deliver food." Wang Qiang said and walked towards Li San's house.
When Li San came out, Lin Fan and others were still waiting at the door, and they couldn't help but ask, "Why haven't you left yet?"
"I'm asking you something, I don't know if it's convenient or not," Lin Fan said.
Wang Qiang frowned, a little reluctantly: "I know you are here to help us break the curse, but it has been so many years, and every time you come, you find nothing. Instead, it makes our village worse and worse. If it weren’t for my father refusing to leave here, I would have gone out a long time ago.”
Lin Fan said very sincerely: "I will try my best!" After saying that, he took out some gold coins from his arms and handed them over quietly.
Wang Qiang's eyes lit up, he pretended to cough a few times, and kicked the gold coins in his arms without leaving any trace. He said happily: "In that case, you can ask."
"When did these women who died tragically die, or when were they discovered?" Lin Fan asked
Wang Qiang was very familiar with these things that he had memorized for a long time, and said without thinking: "I don't know when I died at night, but I always find out when the man at home comes back in the morning."
"Aren't all the men in the village home at night?"
"I can't say for sure, because sometimes there is a lot of work in the fields, and sometimes I am busy until midnight, and it is almost dawn when I get home. But most of the time I am at home."
Lin Fan suddenly changed the subject and asked an irrelevant question: "I saw you guys came back today and carried a wild boar. How did you hunt it?"
Wang Qiang was also stunned, but thinking that this was nothing, he continued: "I didn't like growing crops since I was a child, so I just liked running to the mountains. Then I took a few friends from the village to play in the mountains, and sometimes I caught a mountain Chickens, rabbits, etc., I just figured out some hunting skills by myself."
As he spoke, Wang Qiang rolled up his arm sleeves. There were many scars on them, and he proudly showed off: "Look, this guy scratched this for me when we were hunting a blind bear. He almost pulled my arm off." ; And this one is for catching tigers."
Lin Fan asked in confusion: "How can just a few of you subdue such a huge beast?"
Wang Qiang said displeased: "Why, you don't believe it."
"No, no, I'm just curious about how you subdued them." Lin Fan quickly changed his explanation.
Wang Qiang explained: "Actually, we didn't expect to be able to subdue these guys at the beginning. Although I am stronger and faster, it is useless against these beasts. One time Bai Lang proposed a method, and we followed his method I really caught a blind bear."
Lin Fan wanted to ask something more, but Wang Qiang said first: "You guys, don't waste your efforts. I've almost made it clear to my father. I'm going to leave here this year, so don't waste your efforts here."
Looking at Wang Qiang's leaving figure, Nie Kaixuan said unconvinced: "Master, we are here to help you, okay, what kind of attitude is this?"
"Okay, that's it for today, go offline and have a rest. We'll come back tomorrow." Lin Fan looked at the time and looked at the two of them.
As soon as Nie Kaixuan heard that he could withdraw, he quickly slipped away.
Looking at Shen Qingli who didn't move at all, Lin Fan was puzzled: "Aren't you going to leave?"
A look of excitement flashed across Shen Qingli's face, and she said with a smile: "I feel like police investigating crimes in life, it's very exciting. Do you feel it?"
Lin Fan rolled his eyes and complained quietly: "If there were police officers like you in reality, the murderer would have fled overseas."
"What! Lin Fan, what are you muttering about there!"
"I praise you. If you become a police officer in the future, you will definitely be at the level of a policewoman."
"Really? The shape of your mouth just now was not like this."
"Really! I also said it without conscience!"
"Bah! I am in a good mood today and I won't argue with you."
