Xu Haonan and Shen Zhizhu took Xiaonian and other police officers and walked towards the place they guessed, but the road was a bit difficult to walk on.
He carefully pulled Shen Zhizhu to prevent him from falling.
Xiaonian knew why his master asked him to follow, so he brought up the topic intentionally or unintentionally, hoping to find some clues from the conversation.
"Comrade Xu Haonan, you just said that you often come to the mountains to hunt and are familiar with the conditions there. How come you didn't know that there might be an accident where Shen Aiqiu and the other two asked you to park the tractor?"
Xu Haonan also has a good temper and always answers questions.
"The mountain is huge, and I haven't been to every part of it. Also, there was nothing wrong with where the tractor was parked. It was Du Manjun who lost control of the tractor and pushed it backwards down the mountain. The mountain road was curved, and he lost control of the steering wheel, so it slid toward the cliff."
Xiaonian scratched the back of his head pretending to be embarrassed and replied with a silly smile.
"Look at my brain. It's always misremembering things."
Then he took two quick steps forward, put some distance between himself and the police officers behind him, and asked in a low voice with a hint of gossip in his voice.
"They said they might still be alive, but from your description, they were halfway up the mountain, which is not low, and they fell down with the tractor, so the chances of survival are slim. They caused you a lot of trouble before, so if they are really dead, you two should be very happy."
Shen Zhizhu found it amusing to see his eyes darting around like a mischievous boy, so he pretended not to notice that he was trying to trick him.
"I'm not too happy. We'll be going to Beijing soon. The world will be vast in the future. I don't know if we'll be able to see each other again in this life. My husband and I just want to spend this year in peace and wait for the spring."
As she spoke, she looked up at the sky and sighed slightly.
"But who could have thought that they would be so intolerant of us? But I can understand. Their parents were taken to the police station because I called the police. It's reasonable for them to blame me."
Shen Zhizhu felt that sometimes Shen Aiqiu's method was really effective. Just saying a few words could save a lot of effort.
Xiaonian is also a kind-hearted person. When he heard Shen Zhizhu say this, he was instantly filled with a sense of justice.
"Don't say that. They deserved it. There's no right or wrong in that. I've dealt with a lot of your issues with my master. I know exactly what kind of people they are. You're a victim. You don't need to sympathize with them."
After all, she is still a young person, and was easily led astray by Shen Zhizhu, and the balance in her heart is tilted towards them.
Shen Zhizhu thought about it and said again.
"The grudges between our three families have become deeply intertwined without us noticing. Now that they have had an accident, it is normal for you and your master to suspect us. If you have any questions, just ask directly. My husband and I will definitely cooperate."
Xiaonian didn't expect that Shen Zhizhu saw through his intention to trick him, and he didn't feel embarrassed.
"So you found us. I personally doubted you. The villagers said you two were innocent and even wanted to save them. They hurt you so much, but you still have such a broad mind. It's rare."
"Just follow your heart,"
Xiaonian has another question to ask.
"Since you have so many problems, don't you feel something is wrong when they invite you to the mountain?"
Xu Haonan stopped, looked around, then looked up. After confirming the general direction, he continued walking.
"Of course I did. My husband and I don't lack firewood at home, but Du Manjun used the elders in the village to pressure us. I thought if we didn't go, there might be chaos in the days ahead. There were so many people around, and I thought they wouldn't do anything too extreme. I just didn't expect..."
Even if Shen Zhizhu didn't finish the following words, Xiaonian could understand them. He didn't know what to say for a moment and walked in silence for a rare period of time.
"Look, isn't that the color of a tractor?"
Xiaonian found a large object in front of him and shouted. Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan also looked over.
"Yes, this is the tractor that the village bought. The tractor is here, so I guess they are nearby. Officer Xiaonian, please send someone to notify Officer Pei."
Xiaonian let out an "ah", turned around and gave instructions to one of them, while he himself searched the area nearby.
Sure enough, near the tractor, Shen Ai Qiu and Du Manjun were seen with their bodies twisted and twisted. Some bones were sticking out of the flesh, which looked shocking.
Before Shen Zhizhu could see clearly, Xu Haonan covered his eyes.
"Don't look at it, it's a bit bloody."
Xu Haonan did not follow Xiaonian in. He knew that they could not disrupt the scene, so he just stood far away from Shen Zhizhu.
Moreover, the condition of those two people was more than bloody. He stood by with Shen Zhizhu, waiting for Officer Pei to arrive.
After a while, Officer Pei arrived, followed by a large group of people. They quickly set up a cordon and isolated the villagers outside.
Everyone craned their necks to look inside, but there were police officers blocking the cordon, so people could only see vaguely from a distance.
"Looking at this situation, there's no way to save both of them. Oh, what a sin."
Some people are concerned about the condition of Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan.
"You two should have seen it, tell everyone what happened. Also, I heard from the person who went to call the police with you that Officer Pei was suspicious of you?"
"What is there to doubt? We all heard the conversation between Shen Aiqiu and Du Manjun. They were the ones who wanted to kill Shen Zhizhu and Xu Haonan. I say we should close the case and bring the bodies back as soon as possible. Neither of their families is capable of taking care of the matter, and we have to pay for the burial. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. It's really unlucky."
"The tractor I bought was scrapped before I used it twice. Who will pay for the loss? Both of their parents are still in prison."
This is also their headache.
"Don't worry, everyone. These things should be resolved after Officer Pei is done. Let's wait patiently. Otherwise, let's go back first. It will be dark soon."
"That won't work. Originally, this matter involved you. If we weren't here, what would they do if they pushed the blame onto you? We'll stay with them and wait for the outcome."
Some people thought what Shen Zhizhu said made sense. It gets dark quickly in winter, and it is always scary to be in the mountains at night, even in winter. After saying hello, they went back.
Most of those who went up the mountain together chose to stay, not only to accompany Shen Zhizhu, but also to find out how to resolve the compensation for the tractor.
