Chapter 30 Silly Qing, Your Mom is Dead

The next day, Zhou Shi met Xu Yiqing, who had a stiff neck.

"You don't look very well."

"You... aren't that strong."

Xu Yiqing took a look at Zhou Shi. She was very beautiful, so she only wore light makeup on weekdays and didn't rely on rouge and powder to package herself. She had a kind of cool and natural beauty.

But today, even if she applied a little more foundation, it couldn't cover her dark circles.

Zhou Shi yawned: "I thought about it for half the night last night and felt that things were not that simple."

"How to say?"

"Yesterday I told Boss Du that Liu Zhuhua might be suspected of insurance fraud, but after going back home at night and analyzing it for a long time, I felt that the cause of Liu Zhuhua's death might not be what she wanted."

The sentence "it may not be what you want" has a profound meaning.

Zhou Shi said: "From the fact that Liu Zhuhua was covered by the insurance, it seems that she really wanted to die... but she didn't want to freeze to death."

Xu Yiqing also nodded: "The police said that Liu Zhuhua had a grudge against the village chief Li Cheng. It's too coincidental that she died in her enemy's house."

Zhou Shi suddenly asked: "You found that your enemy was about to die in front of you, what would you do?"

Xu Yiqing was stunned and said subconsciously: "Call 120."

Zhou Shi was also stunned. It was obvious that she wanted to use the "substitution method" to guide Xu Yiqing to think about the relationship between Liu Zhuhua and the village chief Li Cheng, but she didn't expect this to be the answer.

She realized it later, smiled and shook her head gently: "Just pretend I didn't ask. Your answer has no reference value."

Xu Yiqing also reacted. What Zhou Shi meant was that the hatred between Liu Zhuhua and Li Cheng would make them go to war against each other, rather than taking the action of bringing their enemy home to keep her warm when they saw her almost freezing to death outside.

The two of them had a perfect understanding, and with just a glance, Zhou Shi knew that Xu Yiqing understood what he meant.

So she added softly: "So we still need to understand how big the hatred between Liu Zhuhua and Li Cheng's family is... Is it so big that Liu Zhuhua wants to burn Li Cheng's entire family to death, and Li Cheng can't wait to kill Liu Zhuhua."
-
Just after seven in the morning, Zhou Shi drove Xu Yiqing to Baxia Village.

What was different from yesterday was that as soon as they entered the village, they saw a faint figure in the dilapidated house standing next to the village.

People in the countryside get up very early, especially the elderly. At this moment, as soon as it gets light, there are crowds of elderly people at the entrance of the village who have finished breakfast and come out to bask in the sun.

A few energetic children called their friends and enjoyed every minute of the New Year holiday.

"Silly Qing, your mother is dead!"

Before they had even taken two steps after stopping the car, Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi were both stunned.

Is it true that the villages around Jiangcheng no longer follow the custom of not swearing during the first month of the lunar year?
Why are you cursing so early in the morning?
The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw several teenagers using plastic garbage bags as projectiles and throwing them into the dilapidated house.

The garbage bag fell to the ground, and there was a crisp sound of glass bottles and cans colliding, rolling all over the ground.

There was a slovenly man who looked like a homeless person hiding behind the wall in the room and yelling at them.

The roar was completely without words, like a very primitive expression of anger.

Seeing someone looking at them, the children lowered their heads and ran away.

While the two were puzzled, Du Yu came out of the village to pick them up. He had already arrived at Baxia Village before dawn to replace his colleague who was on night shift.

Xu Yiqing asked: "Are you really asleep?"

"Just a little while." Du Yu waved his hand: "It's a common occurrence... By the way, that, that's Liu Zhuhua's son."

He pointed in the direction of the dilapidated house.

Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi were both shocked.

"He is Liu Zhuhua's son?"

"Is that house habitable?"

Du Yu sighed: "It's a long story...but you should have seen that he has intellectual disabilities."

The field police were very efficient. By the second half of the night, Du Yu had already fully understood the situation of Liu Zhuhua and her son... After all, humans are social animals and must rely on social relationships to survive.

Homeless people are no exception.

Xu Yiqing looked at the house across the dirt road. The wooden beams were rotten and half of the wall was collapsed. It was obviously not habitable.

Liu Zhuhua's son was unkempt and his face was dirty. It was impossible to tell his age or appearance. He was afraid of people in a corner and didn't dare to come out.

Xu Yiqing suddenly felt choked and didn't know what to say.

Zhou Shi was already frowning as he looked at the villagers who were watching the fun nearby: "There are still people living in that house, so you're just throwing garbage there?"

When they first arrived at Baxia Village yesterday, they found that the area around the dilapidated houses was full of garbage, and it seemed that the villagers had used it as a garbage dump.

At first they thought it was an abandoned house and didn't think much about it.

The villagers looked at each other. It is human nature to subconsciously avoid responsibility.

So some people waved their hands and said, "It's not us, it's the village chief. The village chief moved the garbage dump over there. It was originally at the west end of the village! Look, there's a stone pier there. The village chief built it himself."

Next to the dilapidated house, if you look closely, you can see a low wall made of stone bricks, which is used to store garbage. However, there is too much garbage now, which has far exceeded the prescribed range, making the surroundings of the house full of garbage.

One villager said with disdain: "Shaqing is not there most of the time. I don't know where he goes. We only go there occasionally to sleep at night, but we can't stink him. Besides, his mother is like that..."

So the crowd began to gossip in low voices. In the countryside, Liu Zhuhua's profession was not only disgraceful, but also attracted a lot of gossip.

Du Yu looked at the two of them helplessly, meaning that he had already understood the situation and that Liu Zhuhua indeed had a bad reputation in the village.

"Auntie, I have a question." Du Yu began to change the subject.

In addition to picking up Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi, he also wanted to visit some elderly people who went to bed early last night. They like to gather together in the evening and can be called the village's intelligence station.

When the villagers saw Du Yu wearing a police uniform, they became very obedient, showing a respect for the government that is unique to the elderly.

"Did you hear any noise last night, or see any suspicious people?" Du Yu pointed to the village chief's house that was on fire: "Over there."

The old people all fell into reminiscence.

I don’t know if there was really nothing special that happened last night or if the elderly just have bad memories, but everyone shook their heads.

Du Yu was a little disappointed.

Suddenly an old man seemed to remember something and looked excited.

Du Yu's shattered hope also rekindled.

"I heard Li Cheng quarreling with his wife again last night!" the old man said excitedly.

Then everyone started to sway like fence-sitters, gossiping about the village chief's family affairs: "That's right, he has been displeased with his wife for a long time!"

"If Wang Xiaocui's family wasn't rich."

"Look at Wang Xiaocui, that rascal... She's as fat as a pig standing up."

Du Yu became lost again and sighed heavily.

He had already heard about this kind of family affairs from Wang Xiaocui, and it was worthless.

Can an argument lead to someone’s death?

Then he would have been hanged to death by his tongue by those who were dissatisfied with his law enforcement.

The three of them walked to the fire scene. The dark homestead and ruins looked miserable in the morning mist.

There are more people here today than yesterday, and they are chattering non-stop, giving the three members of the task force quite a headache.

Wang Xiaocui came back from the hospital. Her voice was hoarse from crying and her eyelids were swollen. She sat at the door of her house holding some belongings that the firefighters had rescued for her.

Some other unfamiliar faces were also crying. Du Yu explained that they were all family members of the deceased... they were considered to be the same clan as the Wang family. Some of them were families of Li Cheng's friends and also villagers.

"Officer, when can we see my husband?"

"Is my uncle really dead?"

"My poor father!"

They also knew that Du Yu was a leader and his words were effective, so they surrounded him immediately.

One person's crying led to many others crying, and the situation was about to get out of control.

Du Yu had a headache, but he understood the feelings of the deceased's family, so he stood up to comfort everyone.

"Wang Xiaocui, I want to ask you some questions about last night." After finally stabilizing the situation, Du Yu quickly pulled Wang Xiaocui aside to take notes: "What time did you leave home last night?"

Wang Xiaocui cried, "It was around seven o'clock. After dinner, I was thinking of watching a short drama and going to sleep, but I didn't expect that the damned guy couldn't hold back after receiving a phone call and insisted on asking people to come for a drink... They are all like this, drinking as soon as they are asked to drink by a phone call! No one's wife can talk to you!"

From her words, everyone could hear Wang Xiaocui's hatred for her husband Li Cheng's alcoholism.

Unfortunately, the person is dead now. No matter how much she hates him, she can't hate him anymore when she thinks of the past.

Zhou Shi patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Du Yu asked again: "What did you argue about with Li Cheng last night? Is it possible that he did something extreme after drinking?"

To everyone's surprise, Wang Xiaocui was slightly stunned and said, "I didn't quarrel with him."

"No quarrel?" Du Yu was stunned: "Someone heard you and your husband quarreling last night... Wasn't it because of drinking?"

Wang Xiaocui quickly shook her head: "How could that be? It's New Year's Day, who would quarrel? Quarreling is unlucky... So even if I was angry, I just endured it. He knew this about me, so he was so unscrupulous!"

At this point, Zhou Shi and Xu Yiqing both showed solemn expressions.

Among them, Zhou Shi had the quickest thinking and she quickly smelled the clue.

"Since someone said that they heard Li Cheng arguing with you, and you said that you didn't, this means that the woman was not you."

Wang Xiaocui waved her hands repeatedly and was particularly serious when it came to women's dignity.

"How is it possible? How could there be a woman? I went to my mother's house and realized I didn't bring my phone. He didn't answer the phone, so I went back to get it! I saw him drunk and standing at the door. I didn't know what he was doing. I was really suspicious and searched the house inside and out. But there was no one there, just my uncles and his few bastard friends!"

Zhou Shi had been observing Wang Xiaocui's micro-expressions and giving winks to everyone else.

She didn't lie.

Xu Yiqing and Du Yu looked at each other.

"If Li Cheng did have a big fight with a woman, and passers-by heard it, and that person was not you..."

"At the same time, if you are sure that there are no outsiders in the house..."

The two men went around the side of the burned house, near a wooded area.

After walking around the house, I found two faint tire tracks.

"Do you have a car at home?" Du Yu asked.

Wang Xiaocui shook her head firmly.
