Chapter 26: Happiness Village 13

Chapter 26: Happiness Village 13

    There is a dilapidated house at the end of the village. The yellow thatch is on the roof, and the loess-pasted walls have cracks. People can't help but worry about how long this house can last.

    This is Stone's home, and he has been waiting for a long time.

    Stone saw the streamers coming, and shyly moved the debris on the ground: "There are too many things...too late to clean up."

    "It's fine."

    Stone's home can be said to be a family with four walls. Although the village chief's family is not rich, it is still much more luxurious than the stone's home.

    The interior walls of the stone house are covered with yellowed newspapers, and there is only a wooden bed and wooden chairs in the narrow and depressed room. Everything was piled up on the ground, even the drinking glasses were placed on the ground beside the bed. It seems that Shishi moved here alone after Li Shuangshuang left, and his whole person has really changed a lot.

    But the latest thing in the room is a black and white photo, stoned carefully against a newspaper on the wall. The photo shows a young man and a woman sitting side by side, a bit like the ID photo on a marriage certificate.

    The boys in the photo have thick eyebrows and big eyes, while the girls are delicate and youthful. Although they are still immature, their facial features are excellent, just like big stars. No wonder the boys in the village like her...

    The corners of the two people's mouths are raised upwards, which makes people feel happy. Although it is black and white, but from their eyes, you can see the light of happiness and anticipation.

    Seeing that Lin Mutao had been staring at the photo for a long time, Shitou walked over and said, "Isn't it nice? This is the photo that Shuangshuang and I went to the town photo studio to take before. "

    Stone stopped talking and turned his head away.

    Lin Mutao smiled, "It's beautiful."

    If Li Shuangshuang hadn't gone to town and had not conceived a child, then now she must have a husband who loves her and a happy family.

    Lin Mutao felt a little embarrassed, she picked up the jade pendant in Yu Ye's hand, handed it to the stone, and said, "Then we will return to the original owner. Where is the key to Shuangshuang's house? We will definitely try to give you the truth."

    "I'm afraid I'll lose it, so I keep it here." Stone picked up the pillow on the bed and took out a brass key from the pillowcase.

    Lin Mutao took it, put it in her pocket, and asked casually, "By the way, do you know Er Zhuang? Are you familiar with him?"

    When Er Zhuang died today, Lin Mutao clearly heard a villager say something behind her, "Er Zhuang didn't pay... Li Shuangshuang was watching him!".

    Unfortunately, there is only half a sentence, and it is impossible to know what the relationship between Er Zhuang and Li Shuangshuang is.

    Stone is alone at the end of the village, and I don't know the news of Er Zhuang's death today. He thought for a while and said, "Er Zhuang is about the same age as us. We both went to school together before. But he couldn't read, so he stopped reading and played in the village."

    "Er Zhuang is a very uneducated person, and he was chasing Shuangshuang at that time. Shuangshuang also told me that Er Zhuang has been pestering her or something."

     "Afterwards, Shuangshuang and I were about to get engaged, and Er Zhuang also begged for A Ling, and this happened."

    Lin Mutao nodded, sure enough, Er Zhuang once liked Li Shuangshuang.

    She then asked: "Then do you know that A Ling and Wang He's daughter-in-law Qiao Niang are sisters?"

    Stone replied: "Of course I know. In the past, Shuangshuang played with A Ling and Qiao Niang. She also called Qiao Niang and Qiao Sister!"

    "It's just that Qiao Niang is a little older than us. She got married first and married Wang He. Wang He is this person..." Shitou sighed, and he probably also felt sorry for Wang He's various behaviors. Not too used to it, he continued: "Anyway, because of Wang He, Qiao Niang and Shuangshuang became less close. Later, A Ling married Er Zhuang, who had a good relationship with Wang He, but became Once they are married, the relationship between the two families will be even better."

    "Shuangshuang was crying at the time, saying that now Qiao Niang and A Ling are not playing with her anymore, she can only chat with me."

    It has been several years, but Shi still remembers it clearly. Speaking of those things about Li Shuangshuang, Shi Shi rambled, and finally there was some light in his dull eyes.

    Yu Ye and Shi Shi, who were standing aside, were busy writing down what the stone said. This is a character relationship diagram! I just didn't expect that Li Shuangshuang and Qiao Niang A Ling were actually best friends.

    After the stone finished speaking, he asked: "This... Is the matter of Shuangshuang related to Erzhuang Wanghe?"

    Lin Mutao: "It's not clear yet, let's go to Li Shuangshuang's house to check first."

    Stone nodded and looked at them with confidence: "Okay, Shuangshuang gave me the key before, and I haven't been in. It should be a lot of dust, hard work, comrades."

    On the way from the end of the village to Li Shuangshuang's house, Chen Yinuo asked, "What do you mean by asking about those things in the stone? Do you think Li Shuangshuang's death was caused by Er Zhuang? Last night Er Zhuang died. Li Shuangshuang is here for revenge?"

    Lin Mutao nodded and said, "I think it's not just Er Zhuang, there are many people."

    "What do you mean?"

    "As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. Even if Er Zhuang was killed by Li Shuangshuang, so what? But why are the people in the village so afraid? Explain They must have done something wrong."

    Recalling how scared the villagers looked at that time, everyone nodded in agreement.

    Lin Mutao raised the corner of her mouth and continued, "And, I guess Wang He will come to us soon."

    Du Ziteng asked, "Why? Shouldn't Wang He be very afraid of us?" He still remembered that when Lin Mutao used props to prank the men in undershirts yesterday, Wang He was called a witch by Wang He.

    Before Lin Mutao could answer, Yu Ye continued: "Because he is more afraid of Li Shuangshuang than us. He has seen Er Zhuang's death today, so he is afraid of Li Shuangshuang. The next person to look for is him. And Wang He saw us fighting with Li Shuangshuang last night, so he will definitely come to us to exorcise the ghosts."

    When everyone was talking, they had already walked to the courtyard of Li Shuangshuang's house.

    Pushing open the fence gate of the yard, the boys were also surprised by the living water well flowing in the yard. Insert the brass key into the door hole, turn it, and the door opens. The smell of dust came from the nostrils, which made people cough uncontrollably.

    It seems that no one has been here for a long time.

    "Let's find clues separately."

    Three people looked for Li Shuangshuang's room, and three people looked for Li's father's room.

    Lin Mutao walked into Father Li's room, opened the cabinet, and there were all kinds of small things and some messy papers in the cabinet.

    Lin Mutao took out the papers and flipped through them one by one, and found that it was Father Li's account book, which wrote down how much money was spent each month and how much money was earned.

    Lin Mutao sorted these papers according to time, but found that there was a month of running water very strange, that month, the Li family made more than 10,000! She calculated the time, and it was exactly a year and a half ago, when Li Shuangshuang went to town. According to Shi Shi, Li Shuangshuang broke up with him on the evening of March 15 last year, and she disappeared on March 16.

    There must be something wrong this month!

    Lin Mutao shouted: "Do you guys see if there are other things in the room, marking the events of this month?"

     Shi Shi flipped through Father Li's empty clothes and pulled out a stack of leaflets. The list was folded into two pages and was a little old. Shi Shi quickly looked at these lists. What were the sales of houses, wine, supermarket promotions, and surrogacy on the flyers.

    What? Surrogacy?

    Shi Shi took out the leaflet from the surrogacy agency, handed it to Lin Mutao, and said, "Xiao Tao, look at this? Why is there this thing in Father Li's cabinet?"

    This flyer for a surrogacy agency says it recruits young and healthy women, with a good working environment and a good employer attitude. For each successful order, you can get a reward of 10,000 yuan. The 10,000 yuan was heavily marked with a red pen.

    The deadline for recruitment was March 20 last year.

    The time and amount are correct…

    Yu Ye also came over, looked at the flyer in Lin Mutao's hand, and guessed: "So... Father Li, for the reward of 10,000 yuan, sent Li Shuangshuang to the town for surrogacy. Institutional surrogacy?"

    Lin Mutao didn't say anything, just crumpled the leaflet in her hand and threw it on the ground. It's all pretty obvious, isn't it?

    At this time, Du Ziteng, Fang Dong and Chen Yinuo who were searching for Li Shuangshuang's room also came over.

    Yu Ye: "Did you find anything?"

    "Well...Li Shuangshuang didn't have any clues in her room, but found a lot of pictures of stones and love letters written by stones under her bedding. It seems that Li Shuangshuang likes stones very much, then Why did you break up with him then?"

    Chen Yinuo stopped talking, looked at the three people in front of him and asked, "What's wrong with you? Why are your faces so ugly?"

    Lin Mutao pursed her dry lips and replied, "Because we already know the reason why Li Shuangshuang went to town at that time, she was tricked by Li's father."

    The six anchors were silent after reading the surrogacy leaflet. Obviously the truth has advanced a lot, but the mood is inexplicably not good.

    Fang Dong comforted: "It's okay, when we find out the cause of Li Shuangshuang's death, we should be able to stop the broadcast."

    "Hmmm..."

    Everyone walked out of Li Shuangshuang's yard in silence, and Wang He walked over.

    He patted his thigh and shouted: "How dare you come to Li Shuangshuang's house! I tell you! I'm dying! Please save me! Save the whole village! !"

    In the end, Wang He even knelt down in the street, snot and tears.

    Du Ziteng asked, "What's wrong?"

    Wang He cried, trembling and crying like an animal:

    "I found a **** knife in my room! It must be Li Shuangshuang! She must have come to imply that I am going to die tonight!"

    "I apologize to you! I did something wrong to you before!"

    "You will hunt ghosts, please don't remember the villains, save our village!"
