The village chief brought the two teams to his house. As soon as he entered the door, the smell of the food came out.Zhou Ze suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten anything since last night.The drowsiness filled his mind, so that he even ignored this point.

  The village chief said enthusiastically: "These are common meals, please don't dislike them."

  "How come." Zhou Xiaoyu found a place to sit down and pick up the chopsticks: "I can smell the fragrance from a distance."

  "Yeah." Zhao Guangliang echoed: "Village chief, don't be too busy. We are all rough people and are not that particular about it. You should also sit down and eat with us."

  "Row."

  The group sat down and started to eat.The village head thought for a while, and took this opportunity to say, "I have informed the villagers about the case you want to know before you come, so please rest assured that all the villagers in Lijiagou will unconditionally cooperate with your police investigation. "

  "Village Chief, let's have dinner, so we won't discuss these first." Zhou Ze smiled and said, "We have time to discuss."

  "Good good."

  After dinner, it was getting dark outside.The village chief exhorted: "Comrade police, it's so late, why don't you rest first, our village's lighting facilities are not good, you can't find anything at night, not to mention the villagers go to bed early.".

Chapter 419

  Thinking about it, it seems to be the same.Zhou Ze is really not in a hurry. If he can't finish it in seven days, it's not a bad day.

  Although there are not many houses in the village chief's house, a group of them can still live in a small crowd.After everything was arranged, the village chief was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Ze: "Village chief, have you heard about the case back then?"

  With a light tsk, the village chief's eyebrows were slightly embarrassed: "I'm not from Lijiagou. I was transferred to Lijiagou five years ago as the village chief. I don't know much about the case [-] years ago. But occasionally I will listen to the villagers talk about it after dinner."

  "In the eyes of the villagers in Lijiagou, the death of the Li family's entire family is a supernatural event."

  "Village Chief, can you tell us everything you have learned? You also know that it has been [-] years since the case, and a lot of evidence cannot be found. Now we can only get some useful clues from the villagers.-"

  "Okay." The village chief sat aside and chatted with Zhou Ze--get up.

  The village chief's account was similar to what Zhou Ze read in the document, but there was one detail that was not included in the case.

  Zhou Ze couldn't remember for a while, whether it was not in the archives, or whether he ignored it.

  The village chief said that the Li family died under the same cliff, and there were only seven corpses in the Li family of eight.

  "Seven corpses?" Zhou Ze was very surprised: "Where did the other corpse go? Did it disappear?"

  "The corpse that was not found is a child who just turned one year old. The police searched for a long time and could not find where the child went. The trace of the child has always been a mystery. Later, it was rumored that the child was taken away by the witch to do it. You kid."

  Scratching his head, Zhou Ze felt helpless: "It's the [-]st century now, how can anyone still believe in these legends of bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods. If I say that, that child must be still alive, and the murderer couldn't bear to kill him."

  On the surface, the village chief thinks the same as Zhou Ze, but in fact he is still willing to believe what the ghost said: "It's been so many years, and even if you look for it, you can't find it. Officer Zhou Ze, if he still can't find out the truth, he will How about it?"

  "It's not very good." Zhou Ze shrugged his shoulders: "Go back and be reprimanded at most, it doesn't matter."

  "That's good."

  The village chief didn't say anything, but Zhou Ze could sense that the village chief didn't believe they would find out about the case.

  To be honest, even Zhou Ze has no confidence... Thirty years have passed, and it is unclear whether the murderer is still in Lijiagou...

  The next morning, the two teams woke up early.Seven or eight people were crowded into one room, and no one slept well.

  Zhou Ze sniffed and couldn't help but complain: "I slept through the night and pulled the quilt, causing me to catch a cold."

  "I don't know." Geng Qing also looked tired: "The weather is already cold, and it's even colder in the mountains. I haven't had a good rest these days. I was hoping to get a good night's sleep last night, but people kept pulling the quilt. And snoring, I'm really going crazy."

  "Okay, don't complain." Zhou Xiaoyu rolled his eyes at Geng Qing: "Do you think we girls can sleep well? You broke all my fantasies about men, I don't want to be with men in my life. The roof is down!"

  "It's not necessary." Zhou Ze was ashamed: "It's just that some boys do this."

  Zhou Xiaoyu snorted coldly and said nothing.

  After breakfast, the village chief brought Zhou Ze and his party to the Li family's house.

  Thirty years have passed, and the large yard of the Li family has become a dilapidated building, and many walls have fallen off with the pounding of the years. From the appearance, it is already dilapidated: "Village Chief, thirty years have passed, why Li Is the house still left?"

  "I have thought about this issue before. The villagers told me that the Li family died of a curse, and the house was unclean. As far as I know, the previous village chiefs wanted to renovate the Li family's house, but the house was not clean. The villagers resisted. The villagers all believed that once the Li family house was overthrown, the curse of the goddess would definitely be fulfilled on other villagers.”

  The village chief sighed: "It has been put on hold for so many years. No one dares to go in and move despite the wind and rain."

  Zhou Ze glanced left and right, and found that there was a family next to the Li family's house, with clothes drying at the door: "Who is this family? Why do they dare to live here?"

  The village chief glanced at the situation and said, "It's He Jianjun and the He family. It's not that they're not afraid, it's that they can't do anything about it. The He family is one of the poorest households in our Lijiagou."

  "Comrade police, you should also know from the name of our village. Most of our village is from the Li family. His surname is basically from outsiders, and he has no house or land. The old man of the He family asked his father to ask his grandmother to ask for it. "

  "So it's like this..." Zhou Ze stared at the small house and couldn't help but feel a little curious.Since you are not welcome in Lijiagou, and this happened to the neighbors, why not choose to leave?

  Zhou Ze was so brooding that he couldn't help falling into a trance.

  Geng Qing tapped him on the shoulder: "Brother Zhou, what are you thinking? Let's go in and have a look."

  After a pause, Zhou Ze returned to his senses and nodded: "Okay."

  When pushing the door, Zhou Ze was careful, for fear of accidentally breaking the door.

  On the walls of the house, the old-fashioned loess mud walls have fallen off a lot, and the situation inside the house can be seen from the outside.

........  

  The furniture in the house was untouched, but it was almost out of shape, and some of it was broken.

  The house smelled of mold and rot.Zhou Ze compared it with the junkyard he had been to before and thought that the smell of the junkyard might be even better than this house.

  Zhou Ze thought he could endure it, but it turned out that he couldn't.

  He covered his nose and walked into the inner bedroom. As soon as he entered, he saw traces of black air under the black bed.

  Squinting his eyes, Zhou Ze realized the problem. He hurriedly called someone in: "Do me a favor and get off this bed."

  The bed is a very old one, from the outside, it is solid.Zhou Ze didn't understand why there was black air on the bed. Could it be that the hollow murderer had been hiding inside during the crime?

  The bed, which is at least thirty years old, has not yet lifted its hand when it touches it.Kacha Kacha sound came, and in an instant, the 'joints' of the bed were all broken.

  The moldy and damp wood was scattered on the ground, instantly extinguishing Zhou Ze's fantasy.

  Zhao Guangliang looked aggrieved: "Brother Zhou... We don't want this result, but... anyway, it's been more than [-] years, and it's been long enough."

  The black air on the bed told Zhou Ze that this bed was the evidence.After thinking for a while, he said, "Take all the wood out and see if you can find something to fix it and put the bed back together."

  The village chief was very puzzled: "Why is this? I don't see any problem with this bed."

Chapter 420

  At least everyone in the second team knew that if Zhou Ze said there was a problem, then there must be a problem.

  The group was in a hurry, carefully bringing the wood to the yard.When he was half-packed, Zhou Ze discovered the secret under the bed: "Wait."

  Everyone was stunned, stopped their movements and looked at Zhou Ze.

  Zhou Ze ignored his eyes completely, he stepped forward and stared at the hole on the ground.

  There is a hole under the bed, similar to the entrance of a tunnel. Due to the long time, the depth of the tunnel was buried by soil, but it still has a depth of about half a meter.

  He immediately turned to look at the second team: "Seal this place for me."

  Zhou Ze seemed to understand why the Li family had been hiding at home for a month, but they were still killed.Maybe this hole is a hole in the ground, which can lead to other places, and can also enter Li's house.

  If so, what about the bed?

  Zhou Ze got up and walked out the door: "Hurry up and put this bed together. Even if it can't be put together as it was, at least it should have a rough shape."

  It took about an hour and a half for the group to piece together the general shape.Zhou Ze stared at the seemingly solid cabinet under the bed and said, "It's exactly what I thought..."

  The cabinet under the bed is solid on the surface, but it is actually hollow. The door of the cabinet is just on the surface, and the bottom of it has long been lost. This is the funniest thing.

  He had already figured out that the murderer was very familiar with the Li family, and had come to the Li family to do things.This hole should have been dug at the back, and it was specially chosen when it would not disturb the Li family.

  He chose a place to dig a hole in the ground all the way to Li's house, kill Li's family in the dead of night, and then transport it out from under the bed.

  But the problem came again. Although they were all muddy under their feet, it was not an overnight thing to dig through.

  Zhou Ze put forward two ideas. One is that the murderer lives near Li's house, and it is better to dig if the distance is closer.Another possibility is that the excavation took a long time to complete at a great distance.

  Zhou Ze thought about it carefully and felt that the first possibility was the most likely, because if the distance was long, it would be impossible for no one to find out for such a long time. During the process of digging the tunnel, if you pass by other people, you will definitely be found.

  Zhou Ze expressed his inner thoughts, which was unanimously approved by everyone.Zhou Ze decided to start the search from the residents near the Li family's house.

  As soon as the group left the Li family's house, they heard the village chief hurriedly shouting in the other direction: "Lao He! Lao He! Come here!"

  Looking in the direction, I saw a man with a slightly curvy figure standing stiffly not far away.No matter how the village chief shouted, he didn't want to look back.

  The man was holding a large package in his hands that looked heavy and seemed to be stuffed.Zhou Ze was a little curious, what is in the package, where is this old He going?

  Seeing that Lao He didn't look back, the village chief became anxious and ran forward to hold him: "Lao He, why are you ignoring me? Didn't you hear me calling you so much? I informed you yesterday that the police comrades will meet today. Come to the village to investigate the case. If you don't stay at home, where are you going?"

  Zhou Ze clearly saw that Lao He clenched the package tightly in his hand, and seemed to be very nervous: "I'm going to bring some clothes and quilts to Xiao Zhang's mother, it's going to be cold."

  Zhou Ze stepped forward and deliberately walked around to the front of Lao He.

  Lao He dodged subconsciously, but Zhou Ze could still see it clearly.Lao He's face was full of wrinkles, and he looked like he was about sixty or seventy years old.

  And on top of his head, there are [-] sins, and he is the murderer of the Li family!

  Zhou Ze took out the police officer card and put it in front of Lao He: "Hello, we are members of the Criminal Investigation Team of the Linzhou Police Station. I would like to do some understanding and investigation on the case of the annihilation of the Li family [-] years ago. I wonder if you can cooperate. a bit?"

  "Let's talk when I get back."

  "It won't delay you for a long time." Zhou Ze stopped him firmly. He had a hunch that Lao He must have heard some rumors and chose to leave at this time. His package must not be the clothes he brought to others, but His own clothes, he wants to run away!

  Zhou Ze sighed and pretended to be very helpless: "I'm really sorry, our superiors will give us a week, if we don't find out the case within a week, the superiors will punish us severely. So Please cooperate with us, we will ask you to leave as soon as possible. It's still early, I don't think it will delay you. "

  He pursed his lips, and Lao He was still refusing: "The place I'm going is far away, if I delay, I might not be able to come back in the middle of the night......"

  "It doesn't matter, we have a car." Zhou Ze guessed that he would say this, and he had already thought of the words to deal with it: "I think using a car must be faster than walking, as long as you cooperate with our investigation, we will drive it in person. Go where you want to go and be back in a few hours."

  The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Lao He couldn't do anything for a while: "I...what do you want to ask? I don't know anything about the Li family."

  "Hey, maybe you know what we don't know. After all, your family lives next to Li's house. According to the village chief, you have lived there for many years. In any case, please cooperate with our investigation first."

  Intuition tells Zhou Ze that the Lao He family must have a secret, and as long as he keeps Lao He and enters the Lao He family, he will be able to unlock the secret.

  "Then you can ask directly."

  Zhou Ze pretended to look left and right, slightly embarrassed: "It doesn't seem to be very convenient here, can we go to your house and talk?"
