At this time, someone called the village head, and the fortune-teller grabbed his belongings and ran away.

   I was afraid that I would be arrested if I was too late, and be sent to parade on the grounds of deceiving the public.

  After everyone dispersed, Li Qiao returned to sit in his yard, and the neighbors dropped by to play, all talking about fortune-telling. He also reminded Qin Jin: "Why didn't Ah Jin ask the fortune teller to help you resolve it just now? It's all right now, he ran away."

  Old lady Qin: "Resolve what? It's a scam."

  Li Qiao smiled and said, "Grandma is still transparent."

   "Didn't they ask for money? And the matter of Jinhua, the calculation is accurate. I even know that I lost a baby."

Mrs. Qin: "You will ask for money when you ask a question. Maybe the fortune teller came to the village after inquiring about Li Jinhua's matter from another place. I wanted to charge a settlement fee, but before I could resolve it, I was dismissed." The village chief interrupted."

"Jinhua doesn't need to resolve it. It is still possible to give birth to a girl, but people like Qiao Qiao who will have a formal job in the future, they will not be allowed to have more children, right? If you only have one daughter, the land and the house in your family will not matter. Is it from the neighbors?"

  The old lady Qin said calmly: "The house and the land are collective. If there is no one else, they belong to the village. How come they become neighbors? If I give them to them, do they dare to accept it?"

   "That's true."

   But even if others don’t dare to ask for it, it’s better to have a son and marry someone else’s daughter in the future.

  One more person.

  And if Li Qiao gave birth to a girl, she will not be allowed to give birth in the future. No matter how big Qin Jin's factory is and how much money he makes, everything will belong to others in the future.

   His brothers seem to have given birth to sons, right? No matter which family the daughter marries, Qin Jin counts as earning money for other families.

   But it's hard for them to say these words.

   lest people get angry.

   At noon, Li Qiao just drank half a bowl of pork rib soup cooked by Mrs. Qin, and Xun Dong came to the door with a gift.

Li Qiao was both surprised and delighted: "Director Xun, you came to see me, and you brought something, you are too polite." She remembered that Xun Dong was very stingy, and the things he gave to others were basically useless, or ready to throw.

   Xie Dong smiled: "I just had lunch, I came here to find you something."

  Li Qiao: "."

   "It's like this." Xie Dong explained the reason.

   On the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month, the family members of the victim reported that their daughter was missing. Two days later, they received a report from the masses that they found tissues similar to the human body. After identification, they were human internal organs.

  Police recovered hands and legs nearby.

  Determine the time of death through laboratory tests.

   It is the fifteenth.

  They connected the victim and the informant, and identified each other. Through the birthmark on the back of the foot, the person was sure that the victim was their own daughter.

  The old lady Qin was terrified when she heard it: "Small pieces? What kind of hatred is this? Could it be the in-law's doing it?"

  Li Qiao was sad for the girl, Yu Feng yelled all day long for his son to chop up Peng Chunhua, this kind of thing is really possible.

"I don't have a husband's family yet. She is a little girl in high school. She has both good character and academics. It happened to be a holiday that day. Her parents said that she has never had any quarrels with her neighbors, and she gets along well with her co-workers. I can't think of anyone who can do such a thing." Xun Dong said.

  Li Qiao: "Is the girl handsome?"

   "Huh? Looking at the photos at home, it's quite handsome. Because the body is incomplete, we also wondered if we were insulted. But even if we were really insulted, there is no need to spend a lot of time dismembering people, right?"

Li Qiao pondered: "Could it be because of superstition?" She remembered reading it in a supernatural book, saying that after a person dies, he will come back to visit his family in seven days and give them dreams, but if the body is incomplete, there will be no Way to come back and ask.

Young people in their twenties in the village do not believe in evil spirits. For those over thirty or forty years old, if something goes wrong at home, either because of their ancestral graves or because of evil spirits, they will invite some witches to sing and dance at home, but the village chief will catch them. people.

  So everyone came secretly.

  Just like today, when the village chief heard that there was a fortune teller, he immediately came to stop it.

  Li Qiao told Xun Dong what he was thinking.

  Xion Dong nodded slightly: "There is some truth to it."

  Li Qiao said again: "Tell me about this matter carefully, and I will go over it."

  Xion Dong retells from beginning to end.

  The girl did not come back on the 15th night. The family searched for the whole night and reported the crime the next day. According to the deceased’s classmates, they walked along the way after school and then separated. No special person appeared around the deceased.

During the investigation, an eyewitness said that the deceased helped a pregnant woman to cross the road before she disappeared, and they also found the pregnant woman: "The woman said that the little girl walked west after helping her home. But the west is not the direction of the girl's house." .”

  Li Qiao then asked: "Did anyone see you when you were separated from the pregnant woman?"

   "The woman's house is a bit out of the way, and everyone around her is at work again, saying that no one saw it."

Li Qiao: "The holiday is at noon, right? After Laba is the New Year, this time is the busiest, even if there are few people on the road during the day, it is impossible not to be alone. The house we live in the city is also quite remote, but as long as there is life When people pass by, someone can always see it. Could it be related to pregnant women?"

   "What can a pregnant woman do to a girl?"

   "Pregnant women can't, what about pregnant men?"

  Old lady Qin listened from the sidelines: "How can a woman cheat a little girl for her man?"

Li Qiao: "I can't tell. People are the most complicated animals, and everyone's thoughts are different. I think it's possible. After all, what the pregnant woman said makes people feel confused. Look it up." She suggested going to the pregnant woman's house, Let's see if I can find a clue, and I hope her assumption is wrong.

   Xun Dong frowned, and after thinking about it, he agreed: "Together?"

  Li Qiao nodded his head, he was bored at home, so he might as well go out and do something meaningful.

  Qin Jin is not happy, his wife is pregnant now, what if he stumbles and falls while walking in the streets? "Investigate the New Year's Eve."

  Xian Dong: "I'm sorry, I'll treat you to dinner tomorrow when I'm free."

  Qin Jin complained secretly: My daughter-in-law goes to work at your place every time she is on vacation. How many times have you hired her? "I must follow."

   "Let's go! Save it and I'll send it back later."

  “.”

   Entering other people's homes to search requires formalities.

  Xi Dong went to the unit first, got the relevant approval slip, called a colleague on duty next door, and went to the pregnant woman's house together to find clues.

  Four people came to the door.

  The pregnant woman looked visibly panicked. "You, why are you here again?"

   "Who is outside?"

   "The criminal police team is investigating the case." After calming down, the pregnant woman shouted towards the door.

   A few seconds later, a man came out of the house to look at a few people, his eyes finally fell on Li Qiao, staring at her: "There is also a female police officer."

   Xun Dong has never suspected a pregnant woman before, but Li Qiao reminded him that when he looked at the other person now, it was extremely wretched. "The female policeman will still handle the case."

   There were other people in the room, in their twenties.

   Should not be relatives.

  According to the pregnant woman herself, her husband is a worker in a brick factory. Are these people co-workers?

   Xie Dong secretly speculated, and then said: "Please avoid it."

   "Avoid, where to avoid?" said the pregnant woman.

  Xion Dong: "Of course it's going out."

   "This is our own home, even if it's the police, they can't break into private houses, right?" the man said.

  Ask for tickets~
