Chapter 200: Arrest! Retreat! [Please give me a monthly ticket!]

To be honest, sometimes Xu Hao still admires the old man from Shuangyue Village.

It was freezing cold, but he still managed to dig a hole from the place where he had fished out the body before.

My goodness, the temperature is several degrees below zero. I am fishing in this horrible weather. I am shivering with cold even with my cotton-padded jacket but I don’t give up.

He was somewhat persistent. Xu Hao glanced at the fish catch beside him.

The old man's snot was frozen, so I guess he had been here for quite some time.

But there was not a single catch.

Tsk.

A veteran air force veteran.

The old man noticed Xu Hao's gaze, his face turned red, and he unconsciously walked to the side to block his catch. Then he pretended he knew nothing and looked at the people in front of him.

"Um?"

"Have we met somewhere before?"

"Wang Wei case, have you remembered it?"

Li Jianye spoke.

As he spoke, he took out a notebook and a black pen to record what he was going to say.

"Wang Wei."

The village chief thought for a moment, then suddenly realized, "Oh, this grandson, what's wrong with this grandson?"

Li Jianye:?

Xu Hao:? The two were stunned and looked at each other, and saw the strange look in each other's eyes.

They looked at the village committee members who were accompanying them.

The village committee was also a little embarrassed and whispered:

"Village Chief Zhao is a little forgetful, as if he has Alzheimer's, but not too severely so. He handles ordinary matters very well."

The village committee staff explained patiently.

Xu Hao's expression became more complicated.

Shuangyue Village has some understanding of the matter of electing a village chief.

But it's not a big problem, the other party is just forgetful. Wait, forgetful? Xu Hao paused, looking at the river in front of him where he was fishing, as if he had found some loophole, so he asked tentatively.

"Wang Wei is dead."

"It's a good death!" The village chief was delighted and a happy expression appeared on his face.

"Died in this river."

Xu Hao pointed to the river.

Then, without waiting for the village chief to say anything, he added: "The hole you dug for fishing was originally a hole for fishing out corpses."

"The hole is next to the well. There is a water plant pipeline next to the well. The villagers have been drinking water for several years. Well, there are a lot of fish here, but they are also dead."

The village chief thought about it and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Then he let out a long sigh of relief.

"I was wondering why there were no fish here. It turns out there was a dead body there before, and it's been fished out now!"

"Sure enough, that's what I said. I used to be able to catch fish every day, how could I suddenly not be able to catch any fish? So that's how it is."

Xu Huo: ? Looking at this old man, a '? ' slowly popped up in Xu Huo's mind.

No, it's a question of whether or not you can catch fish. Li Jianye was too lazy to complain, so he brought the subject back to the main topic.

"Tang Hong, do you know this person?"

As he said this, he took out a photo.

The photo shows a fat woman, about 1.6 meters tall and weighing around 140 kilograms.

He doesn't look good, with rough skin, dark complexion, and calluses on his hands.

The eyes were rather cloudy, the hair was rather dry, and the most striking feature was the rather ugly mole at the corner of the eye. It had a good position and shape, but it did not match well with the dark face.

The village chief looked at the photo for a long time, and then he understood.

"Oh~"

Xu Hao asked, "Where does she live?"

"Huh? I don't know her." The village chief shook his head.

Li Jianye:?

Li Jianye had a blank expression on his face. He felt that the village chief was a little naughty.

The people from the village committee couldn't help it and quickly started to remind them.

"She is the little girl from Tang Country."

"Oh, now I remember, little girl Tang Guo, if you ask me who Tang Guo is, I will definitely say I know."

"Who is Tang Guo?"

"Tang Hong's father, didn't you say it just now?" the village chief asked doubtfully.

Xu Hao turned and left.

"Ah, wait, it must be too cold."

The people on the village committee were a little embarrassed. They were young and not as familiar with the villagers as the village chief, so they still had to ask for help from the village chief.

"It's too cold. I think Village Chief Zhao's brain must have been frozen outside."

"Let's go warm ourselves by the fire and check some information at the village committee."

Li Jianye nodded.

The deceased has been dead for half a month. Let's just wait a while. We don't need that little time anyway.

The village chief was taken to the village committee.

These days, people in the countryside rely on roasting coal or coal briquettes for heating. There will be something like an iron box placed in the living room, with charcoal burning inside. It will be very hot if you get close to it.

The village committee has heating supply.

The old man stayed in the heated room for a while, and the cold in his brain gradually melted away.

The wise eyes gradually became clear.

"Huh? Why are you here again?"

In a trance, the village chief looked at Xu Hao and others in shock.

Finally woke up. Xu Huo was too lazy to complain and grabbed Tang Hong's photo again and put it in front of the other person.

"Where is Tang Hong?"

"Also, where is this person Tang Guo?"

Tang Guo is Tang Hong's father. Almost all families will choose to cover up when faced with their children or parents killing someone.

There has been no progress in the case so far. Maybe Tang Guo is covering up the case. If the other party knows the specific information of the case, it would be the same to arrest him.

"Old Tang?"

"What's wrong with him?"

The village chief was quite reliable after he woke up. He grabbed the photo and frowned.

"The police have received a serial murder case and she is suspected to be the murderer."

Li Jianye pointed at Tang Hong, "She's highly suspicious!"

The village chief pondered for a moment, shook his head and sighed:

"Old Tang's family is actually quite miserable."

"Let me tell you about this family first."

As the village chief's voice sounded, the police officers present gradually knew the family's past.

Lao Tang, that is, Tang Guo.

The other person’s surname is Tang, he is fifty years old, and he became a grandfather when he was forty.

That’s right, he was forty years old, and his daughter was raped and became pregnant while she was in school.

He has two daughters, the eldest daughter is pregnant, and Tang Hong is the younger daughter.

In those days, having a child out of wedlock, or even a pregnancy caused by rape, was a serious crime.

It's quite ridiculous that after being killed, the victim not only does not get the answer he deserves, but is also ridiculed and openly accused of being unclean or a slut.

So, the other party is now facing this option.

Either get an abortion, or keep it a secret, find someone to marry quickly, and then get an abortion or give birth to the baby.

Having an abortion directly is definitely not an option. Once that happens, the rumors in the village will overwhelm the eldest daughter. As long as she lives in the village, she will be labeled for the rest of her life.

How easy is it to move to another village? So, they chose the second option.

"Later, the girl married a village bachelor. There was a several dozen years difference between them. Tsk, she wanted to keep it a secret and give birth to the child."

"But even though the bachelor is a little older, he's not stupid. How could he not see that the child would look different once he grew up?"

"Plus the rumors in the village."

The village chief took out a cigarette from the homemade cigarette box in his arms. This was a cigarette he made himself and it was very strong.

As for marriage, during this period of time, most people in the countryside get married first and then get the marriage certificate.

Some people have even been married for five or six years and have children, but they don’t have a marriage certificate.

This is normal. Generally, it is because the marriage age is not high enough. For example, a person may hold a wedding banquet at the age of 17 or 16, but must wait until his or her twenties to get the marriage certificate.

The authorities have no way to deal with this situation. After all, this is related to educational resources. If there is no way to go to school, the only option is to get married, and the educational resources in the countryside are different for different people.

But in general, this phenomenon is gradually disappearing in the previous life, or the age of marriage is gradually increasing.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly.

"So the bachelor ran away."

"The orphan and the widow were left alive, and the matter was exposed like this, which became a scene that we didn't want to face back then."

"There was nothing to do at that time. In their spare time, a few big-mouthed women would gather together to talk. You could hear the sound of their broken gongs without having to get close."

"Then one day, I don't know what happened."

"The eldest daughter committed suicide by jumping into the river, Old Tang became mute, and the youngest daughter stopped going to school and went home to work on the construction site."

Village gossip can kill.

The consequences of having an abortion, calling the police, and giving birth to the baby are not much different.

There were more than one such incidents involving Xu Hao in the last century.

Well, there are even some that destroy your worldview.

How did it ruin your worldview?

Let me put it this way.

After the rapist raped the woman, the victim's family did not dare to call the police. As they watched their belly grow bigger day by day, they had no choice but to marry the rapist.

In the end, the rapist was not sentenced and instead got married.

It's quite funny.

The victim is forced to marry the rapist, transforming from a victim of a single incident to a victim for life.

Otherwise, I can only commit suicide.

Rumors are far more powerful than bullets. Regardless of right or wrong, whether you are a victim or not, they will point at your head and force you to jump off the cliff!

What is presented to you is not sympathy, but more sarcastic and knife-like words.

Either give birth or abort the baby. No matter which you choose, the victim will have to bear the consequences.

This is not a threat, but a lesson learned from many previous cases! This is true for both married and single people.

For example, there was once a middle-aged woman who was raped while helping a man guard a fruit stall. Due to her husband's lack of understanding and rumors around her, she chose to commit suicide eight days after being raped.

Or maybe the 'chilli fried pork with noodles'.

In 2018, a girl was raped, but due to insufficient evidence, the rape victim was only detained for 15 days. After that, the girl went back to school, only to find that the school's malicious intent was greater than she had imagined.

He then transferred to another school, but it was still useless. He eventually committed suicide due to depression in 2019.

Just women?

The same goes for men.

A case occurred at the place where authentic xx noodles were sold.

A 54-year-old man was accused of rape and called the police many times, but the police were helpless and could not arrest the entire village. In the end, he chose to commit suicide by swallowing pesticides.

The bullets of the East are just.

But a great deal of gossip is not regulated by law.

“大闺女叫唐佳，忘了死在什么地方了，我记得是跳河了来着。”

“死了没多久，老唐老婆，也趁着他去买东西，最后上吊死了。”

“老唐回家推开门，就看到妻子上吊的画面”

村长吧唧吧唧嘴，口中那淡淡的苦涩却没说出的话语有味道。

徐嚯沉默了。

他突然回想起，当初自己入梦时看到的那番画面时，曾看到过一女孩被欺负。

他去找过卷宗，但没找到有关她的，连报警电话都没有，再加上王伟也死了，死无对证，便没办法立案，名字也不知道，前往的路更是不认识，死者呈现的画面是跳跃性的，他根本不知道对方住在哪。

谁承想，案子能拖拽出这么一番东西。

“唐宇呢？就是唐佳的孩子怎么样？”李建业又问。

“他？吓傻了，我记得脑子有点问题来着。”

“当年唐佳是要抱着他一块跳的，但在跳河前终究心软了，把孩子放在河岸旁，之后当着孩子面跳了下去。”

“唐红还带着他四处求医来着。”

“跳大神的，道士，和尚，医生，都找了个遍，没有一个好的。”

村长继续开口说着，抽完一根烟又抽一根。

相比这些事情，他还是更喜欢钓鱼。

李建业等人陷入沉思。

稍许，他才缓缓开口：“唐国.现在住在哪？”

村长沉默片刻。

上次，王伟死了他能拍手叫好。

但这次.他思索良久，还是开口道：

“我带你们去吧，估摸着你们自己也找不到路。”

言罢，他便穿上棉袄准备外出。

村委的人贴心的给他准备了一个裘皮帽子，防止脑袋被冻到。

众警察跟了上去。

请...您....收藏_6_9_书_吧（六//九//书//吧）

法律是死板的，却是需要遵守。

当然，这玩意也非一成不变。

每一起沉默人心的案件，都会推动法律进一步修正，为了防止后来人重走此路。

而唐国.唐国的家确实难找。

他不住在村子里。

或者说，他不住在村落人群中，而是住在农地里！农村的农地和居民都是分开的，属于两个地带，唐国在自家农地申请了建造房屋，之后就在那搭了个棚子。

距离居民群最边缘大概两公里的距离，算是荒无人烟了。

更具体一点便是，类似于西瓜地里的瓜棚。

村长没故意带人绕圈子，真的将人带上了门。

“你们.你们自己敲门吧。”

村长看着大门，始终还是落不下手，走到一个隐蔽的角落，蹲在地上抽着卷烟，和一普通老头没什么区别。

“我来吧。”

李建业开口道，随即走上前。

“砰砰砰~！”

他的手敲在红色铁皮门上，发出砰砰的声音。

片刻后，门上一个四四方方的小孔被掀开，一个苍老的脸露在众人面前。

对方看着警察一愣，随即沉默。

接着，大门便被打开，随着缝隙增大，众人也逐渐看清了这人的脸。

一张很符合农民的脸，满脸皱纹，身材干瘦，一双眼睛较为浑浊，鼻子比较大。

他对着李建业比划着什么手势。

“唐国是吧？”

李建业开口询问。

对方依旧比划着什么手势，张着嘴却没发出声音。

李建业眉头一皱，这才想起来，村长说了，对方好像成了哑巴。

哑巴啧，难办啊。

“他在问你们是谁。”

好在村委的人有人能理解唐国的意思，开口解释着。

李建业这才松了口气。

“唐红是你闺女吧。”

“她现在在哪？”

没有过多寒暄，也没有说什么威胁的话，他只是单刀直入，直指话题中央。

唐国沉默，他什么话都没说，只是站在门口，一动不动，就好像一棵老树一般。

一月份的风，甚至周围还下着雪，吹在脸上跟刀刮一样，谁都不好受。

“先进去歇息会吧，不急，这件事不急。”

徐嚯忽的开口，打破了僵硬的氛围。

唐国闻言，连忙侧身，让开一条路，将众人迎了进去。

他的家其实很大。

但，也不过是院子很大罢了，毕竟这里是农地，面积本就很大。

院子里种着很多的桃树，从长势来看，对方被呵护的很好，不难看出，唐国会经常劳动，给桃树修修枝丫。

除此外，还有一片瓜田，不过里面的瓜已经烂掉。

吃不完，又达不到卖掉的数量，便只能烂在地里，不过好在本身就是种着吃的，倒也没亏损多少。

院中还有几只鸡，还有几条狗。

“汪汪汪汪汪汪~！！！”

“汪汪汪！！！”

仿佛是看出警方的来者不善，几条被拴住的狗在笼子里，又或是在树下，疯狂的犬吠着。

直到，唐国将这些狗牵住，警方才得以从那遍地干涸鸡屎的路上走进去。

这里环境不是很干净，内部客厅更是小的可怜，还没一个人的卧室宽敞。

当然，或者说没有客厅。

客厅被一分为二，中间由一个布隔着，两边都有一张床。

“这应该就是唐红的住处了。”

李建业从床上，找出一根头发，随即观察着头发长度开口说道。

徐嚯点了点头，并没说什么。

他反而扭头，看向房屋环境。

人能穷成什么样？

说实话，这取决于一个人的认知。

这世界上穷成什么样的人都有，只不过绝大多数人都是基于自己的认知来想象的，而那些脱离自己认知的更穷的人，他们绝对想不到。

唐国的房子只有这不足十平米的小土房，还是两个或是三个人住。

墙壁不是混凝土。

而是黄土和成泥，在里面掺着稻草，随后和砖头垒落在一起，最终构成了这一面满是干涸裂纹的墙壁。

没有窗户当然，如果说那插着两根钢筋，随后用厚实的塑料封住的东西也算窗户的话，这大概就是窗户了。

脚下则是一高一低，石头垒落的并不平整。

当然，唐国虽然贫穷，但不是最穷的，最起码他能吃饱饭。

“吱~”

李建业拉开抽屉，里面有一份病历单。

他观看着，上面病历单写着‘唐宇’的名字。

和自己等人查到的没什么区别。

“鞋上的泥土很干，虽然有天气的原因，但也正是天气的原因，可以侧方面证明唐红长时间不在家。”

李建业又蹲下身，看了看鞋子。

“外面现在在下雪，只要出门回来，必然会沾染水渍。”

“这泥土印.是在下雪前留下的。”

“初步估计，是在第一个死者死亡之前留下。”

“还有鞋底印记.”

李建业抬头，示意徐嚯看看鞋底。

这也是一双胶鞋，鞋底是波浪状，和案发现场的脚印完全相同，就连鞋码也一模一样。

在冬天，穿着胶鞋脚容易被冻成冰块，稍微碰到什么便是异常疼痛。

但还是那句话。

胶鞋便宜。

“初步判定，凶手就是唐红了。”

李建业起身，刚准备说些什么，却感到自己的胳膊被人拽了拽。

他和徐嚯转头看去。

却见是唐国，此时脸上露出讨好的神色，手里散着几根烟。

不是什么好烟，寻常人家抽的。

他们刚想说些什么，但下一刻.一捆钱出现。

李建业顿住，他看着，对方脸上露出讨好的笑，手上掏出用强皮筋捆起来的钱，偷偷摸摸的往自己怀里塞。

钱不多，里面有一毛的，也有一块的。

应该是唐国全部身家了。

“啊啊啊~”

他又指着自己的嘴，示意自己不会外说。

李建业胸口闷闷的。

“这我们不能要，我们是警察。”

唐国沉默片刻，又撸起袖子，示意自己还有力气，还能赚钱。

“不是钱多钱少的事情。”

徐嚯无奈了，他能体会对方的情绪。

这不是空话，多次代入拉满的他，是真的能体会到情绪，但问题在于罪与错，从来不是一个等号。

而既然不是一个等号，当你想维护一个东西的时候，你就会发现，其实很多东西会违背你的本意。

于是，刑警的抑郁率便逐渐拔高。

“七个人。”

李建业小声开口。

“死了七个人，如果唐宇.那八个，死了八个。”

八个人.过年时间段，八个人！说实话，虽然在行动的是他们。

但案子已经捅到省里了，也就是查案的已经是海云省最豪华的阵容，否则早就被省专案组接管了！

唐国沉默，他没再塞钱，任由警察搜查。

他默默蹲在门口，看着远处，抽着烟。

烟是集市上买的，买的那种烟叶，自己卷，劲很大，但压不住心里事。

唐国没哭，也没闹，就这么蹲在雪地里，看着天上的雪花，看着自己这间破屋，什么情绪都没有。

今天是年后的几天，时间已经偏晚，天色渐黑。

在这里，还能看到村子里在天上绽放的烟花。

很美，很漂亮。

唐国看着，眼神逐渐迷离。

徐嚯和李建业也没逼迫他，就这么一直等。

直到唐国伸出手，手指指着远处。

警察有了目标。

这里是邻村。

当然，也不能说是邻村，而是双月村和隔壁村之间的地方。

It is a desolate wilderness, and is usually the land where villagers grow trees and sell them.

Of course, there are also people who choose to bury their family members here.

But there are not many, at least, there is only one grave mound here.

When the police arrived here.

They found a man or two people.

A bloated woman was sitting on the ground with her eyes closed as if she was asleep.

She also had a rotting corpse in her arms.

This is what a child looks like.

A few pieces of rotten flesh were sewn together with thick black needle and thread, and the rest of the body tissue was like a rag doll, looking extremely absurd.

This is Tang Yu.

This is Tang Hong.

Li Jianye measured his breath.

No breath.

The other person's body had already become extremely stiff, like a cube of ice.

The police stood where they were, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky.

Looking at the fireworks exploding in the distance above my head, I remained silent.

After a long time, a voice was heard.

"Collect the team."
