Chapter 75 The Bride
"Lao Zhu, you are quite courageous."
Zhang Sheng slowly stood up from the messy rear driver's seat, gently rubbing the bridge of his nose and the corners of his sleepy eyes, looking expressionlessly at Cui Yu who was pressing him hard. Live in Lao Zhu.
This pickup truck is quite old, with paint peeling off in many places on the entire outer casing, and the engine is also severely aged. It makes a roaring sound from the wheels on the mountain road.
Lao Zhu insisted on driving this car to track Li Guangzhu.
Cui Yu frowned, his face full of anger.
As the nominal boss of the firm, he really couldn't understand how Zhang Sheng could be so shameless and let him chase the car.
But the situation at that time was quite special. Who would have thought that Lao Zhu, who usually looked so honest, would reveal his true colors on the day of the wedding. He stepped on the accelerator and hit the floor. If he hadn't used the charm in advance, he really wouldn't have been able to catch up with him.
If Lao Zhu really came to Li Guangzhu and caused a scene, their carefully planned secret investigation would be in vain.
Lao Zhu struggled for a while, during which Cui Yu's face looked ugly.
The air conditioner was not turned on, but the cold wind blew in through the cracks in the window. It was quite cold.
Looking at Lao Zhu's dejected look, Zhang Sheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer: "Don't sneeze at me, any of you. I got up after five o'clock, and I'm exhausted from riding all the way. I don't owe you anything." Ah. Lao Zhu, tell me the truth quickly. What kind of personal grudge do you have with that Li Guangzhu?"
The reason why Zhang Sheng dared to speak harshly to Lao Zhu was because he had already heard that this person was interviewing for his own sake. place’s work. Suddenly the company changed its boss, and Lao Zhu secretly asked Hemu about the reason.
As for Cui Yu, you have to take care of the other person's emotions. After all, he is the one who pays his salary, and he is also the creditor.
A bizarre murder occurred early in the morning, and Lao Zhu felt uneasy. He couldn't hide in this small space, so he could only lower his head obediently and confess. He hurriedly pulled out the photos he had kept in the car and handed them to Zhang Sheng in chronological order.
Unexpectedly, Cui Yu glanced at him and said, "Shouldn't you show it to me first? Who is the boss?"
Zhang Sheng secretly made a sound in his heart and cursed: "Don't do it if you don't want to do it. " Come on, I asked you to chase someone and you caught him immediately, and he said it was not a patrol dog...
Cui Yu slowly turned his head, looked at Zhang Sheng with a sinking face, and said in a deep voice: "I can hear you, don't scold me secretly. "
After that, he took the photo from Lao Zhu's hand and looked at it.
Cui Yu frowned: "Isn't this the emcee who died today?"
Different from the poisonous state, the old emcee in the photo has a ruddy face, is wearing a Chinese Tang suit, and is in high spirits.
He seems to be a well-known person in this village. If he were not respected by others, he would definitely not be able to present such a style.
Turning to the second picture, it was the corpse lying under the sedan. The entire abdomen was pierced by an unknown object, the lips were black and blue, the eyes were protruding, and there were many scars on the exposed skin.
"When did you have free time to take photos of the scene? I remember that you had already prepared with your sister, right? Such a perspective..."
Zhang Sheng was very dissatisfied with Cui Yu's mysterious appearance, looking at the photos alone. He grabbed the photos and after looking at them carefully, he felt more and more that these photos could never have been taken by someone like Lao Zhu who was not proficient in photography.
On the contrary, it is more like the evidence collected by a more professional private detective.
Cui Yu pointed at the back of the photo: "There are words behind it."
Zhang Sheng finished yawning slowly, shrugged and smiled: "You can see it, I'm not blind, I'm just curious about why you suddenly have the patience to investigate the case with me. Before Isn't he just responsible for killing? "
In fact, Lao Zhu, like other employees, once thought of resigning after learning that Cui Yu was a candidate for the evil god. He should have expressed himself when the man approached him for the first time. position and attitude.
Zhang Sheng could imagine the conflicts in their hearts. It was like he finally realized at a certain moment that the panic and crisis caused by the frequent crimes in the world were just a game played by the evil god.
The only difference is that they, the exorcists, can choose to set up their own restricted areas like the Crime Department and refuse the evil god's trial, but Cui Yu will never be able to escape his fate.
Cui Yu browsed through the photos, his eyes drifting to the road ahead, and he rolled up the car window to block the air vent: "Because it's boring."
The man's answer was very vague, and Lao Zhu didn't expect it at all.
Zhang Sheng turned the photo over and immediately saw a line of bloody words printed on the back: Medal of the Brave.
"...Huh? I thought it was the shooting date. What does this sentence mean, the... medal of the brave?"
Zhang Sheng recorded while thinking of the diary Zhenzhen left before, and the words in it were the same. The content is vague and it is easy to fall into brainstorming, but what he is least good at is reading comprehension.
Not only that one, but also the photos in Lao Zhu's private collection are all printed with the same words. It can be briefly guessed that these people should be related to each other.
Lao Zhu was silent for a long time, and before the last photo was opened, his lips trembled and he said: "Mr. Cui, I'm sorry I broke my promise."
Lao Zhu continued: "The people in the village have been miserable during the years Li Guangzhu has been in office. , although there is no evidence against him, I have been close to the truth many times... But now I don't know who is hiding the crime for him, and he also came up with a trick to deceive my niece..." "
Today's wedding, Including the wedding banquet, does it have something to do with this Li Guangzhu?"
Seeing that he still asked about the key point, Lao Zhu no longer concealed it, but confessed why he collected these photos, "Master Xun, you also discovered it, then Li Guangzhu's men People are sneaky and cover up the death of the master of ceremonies. This is not the first time I have encountered such a cold case. About half a year ago, when Li Guangzhu’s son Li Li was climbing with a mountaineering team, a man The team members also died from the poison in such a strange way."
Zhang Sheng cursed: "It's useless to say it now. I haven't even seen Li Li. If you had told me earlier, I could have kept an eye on Li Guangzhu in advance. ..."
"It's not too late. Li Li is still alive. Just ask my niece Xiao Ge to find out where the groom is..."
Zhang Sheng stared: "What?
Why does the groom feel like his right eyelid is always twitching ? Lao Zhu was stubborn enough to hold back such a big thing, not to mention imagining that Li Li, who had inherited his father's useless appearance, could find a girlfriend. Just the thought of this kid changing into a suit made the scene funny.
But he didn't believe that the Liu family could agree to this marriage. The adults had their own worries and couldn't deal with each other, so how could they allow Xiao Ge to marry Li Guangzhu's son.
Cui Yu's answer was more direct: "Sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, what do you think?"
Anyone who sees the twenty-year-old Liu Zige and the unemployed Li Li, who is seven or eight years older than her, will feel sad. Zhang Sheng looked at Lao Zhu carefully and asked him the reason.
Lao Zhu: "There is nothing we can do. Xiaoge is obsessed with Li Li. From the time she first joined the mountaineering team to now, Xiaoge has had three ex-boyfriends die. Who's family is not worried? "
Zhang Sheng: ...."
After calming down for a while, he gradually realized that what Lao Zhu was really worried about was not that his niece couldn't get married, but that these missing male team members were inseparable from Li Li.
Li Li was greedy for money and lustful, and had no ability. He relied on his father, Li Guangzhu, to recruit him connections and resources in the village. First, he put on a patrol uniform and patrolled the market town. Later, because he had a bad attitude and liked to take advantage of the villagers, he was arrested. Reported and got another job.
Li Guangzhu gave him some money and let him do business as he pleased, but Li Li wanted to make love with Liu Zige. As long as he could trick this girl into his family, Liu Zige, who had been influenced by the Liu family's business knowledge since childhood, could still Can't you teach him?
Moreover, Liu Zige is beautiful. Anyone who has seen her will comment that you must find a wife like this to take her out in order to have face.
Li Li knew that Liu Zige had a boyfriend, and that she was single-minded and liked to find future husbands in the mountaineering team. This led to the strong men in the village talking about one sentence: If they want to attract Liu Zi If you want to pay attention to the pigeon, you have to sign up for the mountaineering team, preferably to represent the town in the rock climbing competition in Wangcheng City.
Zhang Sheng discovered the problem from Lao Zhu's memories: "Why does your niece like to find boyfriends in the mountaineering team? If an accident happens to the first partner, a normal person should feel alienated and will not enter the next relationship in a short time. , isn't it?"
Lao Zhu responded, paused and said, "My niece is still young, maybe she has some love brain, she said it herself, she said she couldn't control her excitement once she went up the mountain... …My sister has reminded her many times, but it’s useless, she always gets into trouble…”
Zhang Sheng has almost never seen young girls use “love brain” and other reasons to fool others. It’s like Liu Zige is behind everyone’s back. Li Zai was complacent and proud of his state. Even if he was involved in the murder case, he would not notice any clues.
"Do you still remember the name of her ex who died, and where in the village he lived before?"
Lao Zhu shook his head and sighed: "This little girl has a big heart. She always told her mother that the best ending for her ex is to die. "It's strange to say that every time Xiaoge breaks up with her boyfriend, it's always on the eve of a competition. The most recent time was six months ago, when the male team member died on the mountainside, and Li Li was also there at the time.
" No words were spoken, but the sound of slamming the door was a little loud.
He opened the car door and stood on the dirt road to take a look at the road conditions and weather. The rain gradually became smaller as the evil spirit weakened, but the sky was still oppressive and dark.
Cui Yu approached the window and said in Zhang Sheng's ear: "You really want to talk about your ex? I'm reminding you, Li Guangzhu is nowhere to be found, but this road is very strange. If you go further, you may enter an unknown ghost land." , Are you serious about not going back?"
Zhang Sheng lit a cigarette, shook his wrist slightly, glanced sideways behind Cui Yu, and said softly: "Oh, what is this, the law of attraction? No wonder the bracelet reacted violently, tell me what it should be. That's it...you can look back."
Liu Zige, who was only mentioned in Lao Zhu's words, was like a bride wearing gorgeous clothes but always hiding her true face, walking from the slightly lower river bank towards the slope. Stepping slowly along the road, they slowly walked towards their car.
The bride gently holds her hijab upright.
A rough voice sounded, and an old hand placed on Cui Yu's lower back: "Husband, please hold my little girl's hand."
Cui Yu's back tensed, and he quickly opened the car door, pushed the bride into the car and lowered herself. Yin said: "Go and hold him back, he is younger than me."
Zhang Sheng:...?
