Eunuch Shi (14)
When Luo Yi and the others rushed to Lan Dalong's home, Lan Dalong had been washed, changed, and placed on a wooden door. Lan Dalong's father cried very sadly, and there were two people kneeling beside Lan Dalong. I don’t know who the woman crying in front of the corpse was. The two women cried heartbrokenly. The villagers who came were all helping Lan Dalong with the funeral arrangements. It looked like a mess.
"How can a good person die just as soon as he says he will die?" Li Wenyu looked at Luo Yi in confusion, and saw Luo Yi's brows furrowed. This incident indeed happened too suddenly. He only sent Lan Dalong to the hospital last night. Why do people die when they go home? It's very strange. It's such a coincidence that people died. When they captured Lan Dalong before, Lan Dalong was not injured, and Luo Yi and the others didn't do anything to Lan Dalong. So how did Lan Dalong die? Luo Ao couldn't figure it out, so she found someone to ask. The aunt Luo Ao asked didn't know who she was from Lan Dalong's family. She wiped her tears and replied: "She died in her sleep."
"..." Luo Yi has heard of such cases. People died while sleeping. Some of them were due to sudden cardiovascular bursts. Does Lan Dalong have such a disease? "Auntie, I want to know if Lan Dalong has any disease?"
"Bah! You're the only one who got sick. He was fine before his death. Why did he get sick?" Auntie didn't know who Luo Yi was. Nowadays, death is the most important thing. If you say disrespectful words to the deceased, no wonder you are not welcome. After the aunt turned around to do her work, Wangchuan walked next to Luo Yi and whispered: "People have been dead for a long time, and their souls have gone to the underworld."
"Did anything special happen when you sent him back yesterday?" Luo Yi looked at Wangchuan, because Wangchuan was the last person to see Lan Dalong.
After Wangchuan thought for a moment, he answered firmly: "No."
"This is strange..." Luo Yi's intuition told her that Lan Dalong did not die naturally, because she discovered a very strange thing. If a person dies while sleeping in bed, then his body should be very relaxed. But Lan Dalong's corpse was not like this. Lan Dalong's corpse was slightly bent. It should have maintained this posture before death. After death, because the blood did not flow, this posture did not change, and the corpse became stiff. It can be seen that Lan Dalong's family used a lot of effort to stretch Lan Dalong's body. There is another question, and that is the weather. Even if Lan Dalong died all night, unless he died after Wangchuan sent him home, there would be no way he would have been so stiff for an hour or two. All kinds of questions lingering in Luo Yi's heart.
At this time, Kang Lele took Li Wenyu and walked around Lan Dalong's house. No suspicious person was found. Everyone looked very busy. Some were writing elegiac couplets, some were giving gifts, and some were busy. They were helping to get tables and stools, and others were helping to build tents... Seeing these people busy, Li Wenyu realized that after death, it was quite troublesome. There were funerals, cremations, and so many things to do.
"They're really busy."
"Nonsense." Kang Lele rolled his eyes at Li Wenyu and walked towards Luo Yi. "Master, have you discovered anything?"
"..." Luo Yi shook her head gently. After looking at the situation at the scene, she whispered: "Let's go back first."
"Go back like this?" No matter how stupid Li Wenyu is, he knows that Lan Dalong's death is very strange. It feels like someone is trying to kill someone and silence him. He thought Luo Yi brought them here to investigate, but no one questioned him. Luo Yi said she wanted to leave, but Li Wenyu didn't quite understand.
Wangchuan looked at Li Wenyu coldly and replied in a low voice: "Luo Yi said let's go, just go."
"...Oh..." Li Wenyu looked back unwillingly and followed Luo Yi. Not long after, he heard the sound of sad music playing. The sad music was really on point, with high and low tunes that made everyone excited. People shed tears... Listening to this, even Li Wenyu couldn't help but feel sad, and said to himself: "Why do people die like this? It's so unpredictable..."
Luo Yi turned around and looked at Lan Dalong's home. A white cloth had been hung on the door of Lan Dalong's house. Luo Yi sighed: "We'll talk about it when we get back." Yes, it's not appropriate to stay in that place for a long time now, as it will attract other people's attention. , Fortunately, Lan Dalong died at home, and there was no evidence that it was related to Luo Yi and the others. Otherwise, Luo Yi and the others would have been in trouble. But Luo Yi found it strange. The strange thing was the cause of Lan Dalong's death. Although they said they could get away without having anything to do with them and there would be no trouble, but in this way, their clues were also cut off.
Who killed Lan Dalong? This is a new problem that has arisen at present, and Li Wenyu is puzzled. They obviously came here for the death of Cha Lanwei, and now they are involved in the murder of Lan Dalong. Which one should be solved first? He couldn't hide his confusion in his heart, so he asked: "Do you think Lan Dalong's death is related to Lan Wei's death?"
"Shh..." Luo Yi heard footsteps on the stairs. When she turned around, she saw that it was Lan Guoqiang. Lan Guoqiang, wearing black clothes, walked to Luo Yi's door and said softly: "There is food at home." Yes, you can have something for lunch."
"You want to go out?" Luo Yi stared at Lan Guoqiang.
Lan Guoqiang nodded and sighed: "Although Dalong and I have some differences, he is dead now. After all, we are in the same village, so we should go and help."
"Oh... Then you go about your business and we will take care of it ourselves." Luo Yi nodded. In her opinion, it was reasonable for Lan Guoqiang to go over and help.
After Lan Guoqiang left, Kang Lele thought for a long time before asking: "Master, do you think Lan Guoqiang might be the murderer of Lan Dalong?" Kang Lele didn't care what others thought, she thought Lan Guoqiang was the murderer. Qiang is suspicious. If you think about it, you will know that Lan Dalong and Lan Guoqiang have a grudge against each other for taking away their wives. There is no guarantee that Lan Guoqiang will feel unbalanced and kill Lan Wei after knowing that his son Lan Wei is Lan Dalong's. To kill Lan Dalong again, of course, all this must be based on the fact that the murderer is Lan Guoqiang. At present, only Lan Guoqiang
Guoqiang had this motive, because Lan Dalong was not only Lan Wei's biological father, but also witnessed his affair with Zhao Xiaomei. From this point of view, Lan Guoqiang had enough reasons to kill.
Luo Yi nodded, looked at Kang Lele, and smiled: "You are a bit smart, but Lan Dalong's family did not call the police. This means that they did not find any evidence at the scene of Lan Dalong's death. Lan Dalong died a violent death, and we cannot interfere."
"What the idol said makes sense. We can't talk nonsense without evidence." Li Wenyu supported Luo Yi. He just wanted to know what to do next. "But, idol, does that mean we'll stop here and stop investigating?"
"No..." Although Luo Yi loves money, she loves the truth even more, so even if Lan Guoqiang doesn't give the money, she will find out the real culprit behind the scenes, but she will have to wait until night to act...
After nightfall, the number of people in Lan Dalong's family gradually decreased. Most of the villagers returned to their homes, leaving only one or two tables of people playing mahjong and keeping vigil. Maybe because of the strong wind, there was no one to play mahjong in the middle of the night. Everyone moved to the inner room. The only two people outside were Lan Dalong's father and Lan Guoqiang. Lan Guoqiang was helping to burn paper. Lan Dalong's father was crying. After a while, Lan Guoqiang got up. , persuaded Lan Dalong's father to go back to the house to sleep, so that only Lan Guoqiang was left next to Lan Dalong's body. The corpse was placed on the door panel, wearing a black shroud and black cloth shoes. Lan Dalong's feet were tied. Under the corpse, there was an oil lamp. This is a rural custom. Burning incense and burning Holding the paper, Lan Guoqiang's face turned red from the fire, and his legs were almost numb. Looking at Lan Dalong lying motionless on the door panel, Lan Guoqiang sighed.
"Dalong, Dalong, why did you leave first..." Lan Guoqiang tore up the ghost papers and put them into the brazier one by one. "You have always liked to argue with me since you were a child. We are friends who grew up wearing crotchless pants. We have been fighting for a lifetime. What have you gained? Let it go, Dalong. She is gone, and so are you. In this world, I am the only one left, you are relieved, but I still have to stay in this world and endure it slowly..."
At this time, Luo Yi and the others were hiding not far away and heard what Lan Guoqiang said very clearly. Li Wenyu was a little curious because he felt that Lan Guoqiang's tone sounded like he was talking to his friends, not like an enemy at all. .
"That's weird. They couldn't have been love rivals for so long that they developed feelings..."
"You are a pig. They were friends from the beginning." Kang Lele covered Li Wenyu's mouth, fearing that Li Wenyu's voice would be too loud and his target would be exposed.
Li Wenyu nodded repeatedly, but Kang Lele still didn't let go. Luo Yi and Wangchuan didn't say a word and watched quietly. They saw Lan Guoqiang burning the paper one after another. After a while, Luo Yi saw a drop of paper. Tears fell to the ground. It was obvious that it was Lan Guoqiang who was crying... Luo Yi tilted her head and looked, just enough to see Lan Guoqiang's profile. Unexpectedly, Lan Guoqiang was really crying, and he was crying very sadly.
"Dalong... You have a good journey and you will be reborn into a good family in your next life... Don't go back to Taoyuan Village again..."
When Kang Lele heard what Lan Guoqiang said, he couldn't help it and asked in a low voice: "Master, what does he mean by this?"
"Shh..." Luo Yi made a gesture, frowned, and looked ahead. Lan Guoqiang was still talking to himself...
"Dalong, I owe you this life. Don't blame me. Don't come back here in the next life, and don't let me see you again. We two brothers have been fighting for our whole lives. We are too tired..." Lan Guo Qiang started crying bitterly as he spoke.
Luo Yi made an inference based on Lan Guoqiang's words. She didn't know whether her guess was correct or not. The answer was still in Lan Guoqiang's mouth. Luo Yi, who was hiding in the dark, wanted to hear more from Lan Guoqiang. Duo, at this moment, Lan Dalong's father came out and patted Lan Guoqiang on the shoulder.
"Guoqiang, you are tired too. Go back and rest early."
"Dad..." Lan Guoqiang hugged the old man's legs and started to cry. What he shouted almost scared Kang Lele. If she heard it right, Lan Guoqiang was calling the old man. dad'…..
