Chapter 14

  Chapter 13

  Lin Qiang and Xiao Tang switched cars, because the road was unfamiliar and it was night, and the winding mountain road was not easy to walk, so they arrived in Longpan Mountain area the next morning.

  Shen Mo took two motion sickness pills before going out, and slept groggyly all night. Naturally, Jiang Xiaosi wouldn't take such a good deal and didn't use his pillow. At first, he quietly leaned on his shoulder, and then he directly covered his coat with his lap as a pillow, sleeping soundly.

  The next day she woke up before Shen Mo woke up, so she obediently straightened up and sat far away from Shen Mo, for fear of being discovered.

  The road became more and more difficult to walk, and it was impossible to drive any longer. The four of them got out of the car and rode into the village in a mighty ox cart carrying dry firewood.

  Jiang Xiaosi was very excited as if he was out for an outing. Because Shen Mo sat in the car all night, his complexion was not very good, and he kept his face cold and did not speak. Lin Qiang was also smoking in silence, when he heard Jiang Xiaosi and Xiao Tang chattering there.

  The village I went to was called Longtou Village, with more than 100 families living in it, and it was quite large. Further into the mountains, there were some sporadic villages like Longxu Village and Longzhao Village, some of which only lived in a dozen households.

  They inquired all the way and found Yang Yan's wife Long Wanqiu's grandfather's old house, but the house was locked from the outside, and Long Wanqiu didn't live here. I inquired with the neighbors next door, and said that they moved to the mountains, and occasionally went down the mountains to the village to buy things every half a month.

   "Is she alone? Is there a man with her?" Xiao Tang asked.

  The villagers shook their heads and said they had never seen it before, so the four had no choice but to continue walking into the mountains.

   "I guess Yang Yan and her wife are probably hiding in this mountain." The surrounding vegetation is lush, and Xiao Tang said while crawling out of breath.

"You said that if he killed Ye Miao for the sake of family harmony, reputation, etc., but he fled in fear of crime and hid in this remote mountain where birds don't shit, what's the trouble? The gain outweighs the loss." Jiang Xiaosi sincerely Can't figure out these men.

  Shen Mo said: "Maybe he wanted to avoid the limelight and go back after the case subsides, or maybe he didn't kill him."

   "But Ye Miao himself said..."

"Yang Yan took Ye Miao to beat the child with medicine, but Ye Miao died of gas poisoning. He was in a coma at the time. When he woke up, he didn't see the criminal with his own eyes. It was taken for granted that it was Yang Yan who had quarreled with her in the room. , turned on the gas as she left, in order to make it look like she died in an accident."

  Xiao Tang scratched his head: "But the door was locked, the telephone line was cut, and it was an obvious murder. If Yang Yan was a little rational at the time, he shouldn't be so stupid. There are many ways to kill Ye Miao."

  Lin Qiang opened the way ahead, still smoking one after another: "So his wife is also very suspicious."

   "'The married wife found out that her husband was cheating, and murdered her mistress in anger'? Haha, it's written like this in the news, and it's also shown on TV. It's very likely." Jiang Xiaosi nodded vigorously.

   "Have you found anything about Yang Yan's wife?" Shen Mo asked.

  Xiao Tang said: "Yang Yan is an ordinary engineer, and Long Wanqiu is engaged in garden design. It has been more than half a year since she resigned. The neighbors commented that she is a very good and virtuous person, and her colleagues have a good relationship with her."

   "How long have they been married? No kids?"

   "Fourteen years, Yang Yan is forty this year, and has no children. It seems that Long Wanqiu is barren."

   "No wonder Yang Yan cheated." Families without children are usually very fragile. There is no reason for the husband and wife to further compromise and tolerate each other, and the relationship is easily broken.

   "God is really unfair. Those who want children don't have the right to have children, but those who don't want children have them." Jiang Xiaosi thought of Li Yueyi and sighed softly.

  Shen Mo looked at her and paused, thinking that she was feeling sorry for her life experience and didn't know what to do with the child in her stomach, so she couldn't help but also frowned.

   It wasn't until the evening that they arrived at Long Banqiu's house in the middle of the mountain.

  At first, they also discussed how to prevent Yang Yan from escaping down the mountain, but unexpectedly, they saw a woman watering flowers at the door, and a large area of ​​evening primrose bloomed extremely brightly.

   "Long Wanqiu?" Lin Qiang took out his ID from his pocket and flashed it, "It's from the Public Security Bureau."

   "I am, what's the matter?" The woman in front of her looks ordinary, but has a very gentle temperament, her skin is a little pale, she is wearing a cotton dress, and she is clean.

   "There is a murder case that requires you and your husband to go back to assist in the investigation, where is Yang Yan?"

  Long Wanqiu put down the watering can, washed his hands under the spring that came from him, frowned slightly, and there was a trace of sadness in his eyes.

   "I don't know, did he do something wrong?"

  Lin Qiang threw the cigarette **** on the ground and stamped it out: "How long have you been here."

   "Two or three months."

   "Didn't you go back halfway?"

"No."

   "What are you doing here alone in the mountains?"

   "The air here is good, come here to recuperate. This house was left by my grandfather. He used to go hunting in the mountains. There is another set in the village."

   "Has Yang Yan ever been here with you?"

   "We used to stay together for a while during the holidays every year, but we haven't in the past two years. What did he do?"

   "A high school girl named Ye Miao died of gas poisoning. I think you should know him?" Lin Qiang looked at her with sharp eyes.

  Long Wanqiu clenched his hands slightly, then slowly let go, his expression still calm.

   "Yes, I know. Although Yang Yan hides it very well, I am not stupid. She... died?"

   "Yes, your husband is very suspicious. Has he not come to you or contacted you this month?"

   "No, we seldom contact, because of Ye Miao, we have some relationship problems, which is why I came here alone, I want to calm down... It's getting dark, do you want to come in and have a sit?"

  Four people walked into the house, surrounded by very simple furnishings, Long Banqiu poured tea for them.

  Jiang Xiaosi was thirsty after climbing the mountain for a long time, and he was not too hot, so he drank half a cup in one gulp: "It smells so good!"

  Long Wanqiu smiled softly: "If you like the tea made from jasmine flowers that you grow yourself, you can take some back to drink." Although he didn't say anything, he still looked curiously at Jiang Xiaosi. How can the police bring a little girl to handle the case?

   "The person at the canteen in Longtou Village said that you bought toothbrushes and daily necessities for two people."

   "Well, buy it back and keep it ready, maybe if one day he misses me, he will come to pick me up." Long Wanqiu looked out the window with sad eyes.

  Jiang Xiaosi's heart skipped a beat, he left just to be retained, this is also a poor woman trapped by love, she doesn't even have the consciousness to compete with Xiaosan upright. That Yang Yan is really hateful, he is not satisfied with such a nice woman in his family.

   "Yang Yan is really not with you?" Lin Qiang looked around, and there was indeed no trace of another person living here.

   "If you are worried, you can search around."

So Xiao Tang looked around. The simple wooden house was divided into four small rooms such as the kitchen and the bedroom with wooden boards. There was no place to hide at all. Come out and shake your head with Lin Qiang.

   "But we may still have to ask you to come back with us for an investigation."

  Long Wanqiu nodded: "Okay, I'll go back with you tomorrow. It's getting dark and it's not convenient to go down the mountain. You can stay here today. This little girl can sleep on the sofa. For the others, I'll make a floor for you in the living room?"

  So the few people stayed, Long Wanqiu went to the vegetable field to pick vegetables for them to cook for them, and the few people checked the house again to see if it was leaking.

   "Could it be that Yang Yan knew we were coming and had already run away?" Xiao Tang asked dejectedly.

   "No, he must be here." Jiang Xiaosi said firmly, she felt that besides them, there was another person around, no, it was the breath of other people. The zombie's nose has always been very sharp, but unfortunately there are too many flowers and plants around, and she can't find the specific direction.

   "Why are you so sure?" Lin Qiang glanced at her.

   "Intuition, a woman's intuition." She couldn't say that she smelled it through her nose.

Shen Mo tapped the table lightly with his fingers: "Yang Yan should still be here, that woman is too calm, she doesn't seem surprised at Ye Miao's killing, although she loves Yang Yan, she doesn't seem to care where he is at the moment , how about it. So even if Yang Yan is not hiding here, she must know her whereabouts."

  Jiang Xiaosi propped his chin: "A woman's hobbies are blind. Even if she knows that the other party has killed someone, she would rather ignore the law and protect her lover. Long Wanqiu is actually quite pitiful."

  Shen Mo shook his head: "If it is said that Ye Miao was really killed by Yang Yan, it's hard to say that she didn't know about it. Have you seen the scar on her wrist?"

  Jiang Xiaosi was startled: "Has she committed suicide by cutting her wrist?"

   "No matter what the reason for her suicide is, this woman is not as docile and open-minded as she appears on the surface. If she really loves Yang Yan, the blow of betrayal may be fatal."

  Xiao Tang looked surprised: "Maybe she used this method to force her husband to kill Ye Miao and return to her?"

Shen Mo shook his head and said: "The scar is too light, it looks like it has been there for many years, but this possibility cannot be ruled out, if she is really as indifferent as she looks on the outside, then the love for Yang Yan may prompt her to take action. Some passive coercive methods forced Yang Yan to turn back."

   Lin Qiang frowned, and went to take out a cigarette again, but Shen Mo stretched out his hand and pressed it back. Everyone thought that he thought it was impolite to smoke in other people's homes, but Shen Mo suddenly remembered that Lin Qiang had been smoking all the time, and the smell of smoke might have a bad effect on the fetus.

  Lin Qiang withdrew his hand resentfully: "If Yang Yanzhen is hiding nearby, there are only caves around and there may be cellars underground. Xiaotang and I will search the surrounding area before going down the mountain at dawn tomorrow."

  Long Wanqiu came back, and the few of them went to bed early after dinner because they were tired all day.

In the middle of the night, Jiang Xiaosi woke up suddenly, and the bustling mountains and forests during the day were completely silent at this time. Amid Lin Qiang's soft snoring and Xiao Tang's dreaming, she vaguely heard another breathing sound, which seemed to be absent, intermittent, intermittent, and repeated for a while. I can't hear you. Can't help turning over and sitting up, Yang Yan is really hiding under the ground, and it's directly below them.
