I originally thought that if I stayed at home, the police would not know so many secrets.

But when Gu Chen's team found him again, they even knew the color of his underwear, which was a bit embarrassing.

But when faced with the inquiries from Gu Chen and others, the old village chief strongly denied it.

Lu Qiang laughed twice and couldn't help but said: "I said, old village chief, when is it? The person who attacked Lao Mu was not someone else."

"Like those people before, they are all in the mountains, busy killing each other, and have no time to care about the troubles in Hemu Village."

"And Lao Mumu was attacked, even to the point of death. He also knew the situation of the residents in Hemu Village very well, and he also knew what happened in the kitchen and cellar."

"You can guess with your toes that it was done by people in your village. The only person who knows about the treasure at Centennial Peak is your old village chief. Who else could it be but you?"

When Lu Qiang said this, the old village chief immediately became anxious.

But at this moment, I feel powerless to refute.

Lu Weiwei quickly reminded: "Does Lao Mu know something? Or, do you know what he knows?"

"That's right." I feel there is no need to hide it, because no matter how hard you hide it, the police can find out who it is by using elimination methods.

In fact, from the beginning, the old village chief knew clearly that the police suspect was him, otherwise the two police officers who stayed at home would not have appeared here.

Being able to become the village chief of Hemu Village, the old village chief is not stupid enough to not be able to see this.

Therefore, now that it was clear that he had colluded with outsiders to search for the treasure of Centennial Peak, the old village chief felt that there was no need to hide it anymore, so he took the initiative to explain:

"That old piece of wood is actually not sick at all."

Hearing what the old village chief said, Gu Chen and others looked at each other.

Although everyone knew about this matter before, in order to handle the case, everyone still chose to hide it.

But when the old village chief said this, it seemed that he also knew the inside story of this matter.

Officer Wang raised his right hand: "Tell me, what's going on?"

"Actually, I have known about this for a long time." With a heavy sigh, the old village chief shook his head helplessly:

"Because I know Lao Mumu very well, and the timing of his sudden onset of illness is somewhat special."

"Why did you say that?" Gu Chen also felt strange and couldn't help but ask more.

The old village chief quickly explained: "That day, I was discussing things with Scar and his gang, but later on, I accidentally discovered Lao Mu."

"He heard that there was a car accident outside that day, so he later returned to Hemu Village after being hospitalized."

"But because we met unexpectedly at a hotel in the city, we didn't pay attention at the time. I don't know if he heard the topics we talked about."

"But at that time, Lao Mumu's mind seemed to be a little unclear."

"Can you be more specific?" Lu Weiwei reminded her again and again.

The old village chief continued to nod: "Generally speaking, after Lao Mumu got into a car accident, he stopped talking. His family also felt strange, but they don't know what the reason was? It feels like it should be the sequelae of the car accident."

"But that day, he ran out from the hospital alone and went to a restaurant for dinner, but he accidentally bumped into us."

"At that time, I was approached by Scar Man and the others to discuss going into the mountain, and I didn't notice that the old wooden person sitting next to us was there."

When he said this, the old village chief also sighed heavily and said helplessly:

"I really didn't expect that we would meet him in the hotel, and I was shocked."

"But the look in his eyes was irrelevant. It seemed like there was something wrong with his brain."

"Later I found out that he ran away from the hospital, and it seemed that he stopped talking after the car accident. Later, I heard from his family that he seemed to have been brain damaged."

"From then on, he started to become a little dazed. If you talk to him, unless you have to speak loudly, you have to repeat it several times before he may have some reaction."

"No matter who in the village talks to him, he will always be the same. It is for this reason that everyone started calling him Old Wood. He seems to have gradually adapted to his role."

With a faint sigh, the old village chief continued to explain: "After that, I have been observing this old wood to see if there is really something wrong with his brain."

"Or is it all just an act? After all, that day in the hotel, I was chatting with Scar Man and his gang, and he seemed to have heard me."

"But when you were chatting, wouldn't you choose to go to a secret box?" Lu Qiang was also baffled, feeling that these people would be so careless when discussing such an important matter.

But the old village chief said helplessly: "I was caught by the scarred man and taken to a nearby restaurant. The restaurant was quite noisy at the time."

"Moreover, what we say is also relatively quiet, and everyone tries to ensure that only we can hear it."

"At that time, the people around us were talking and laughing and talking very loudly, which gave us a good cover."

When he said this, the old village chief sighed heavily and continued to explain:

"But just when we were checking out and preparing to leave, we discovered that Lao Mumu suddenly sat behind us."

"This was unexpected for all of us. Later, Scar Man and the others discovered that I actually knew him."

"So I was asked to test Lao Mu, but I found that he seemed to have some brain problems."

Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, the old village chief also looked innocent:

"I really don't know why that guy showed up here that day?"

"Since then, although I knew that there was something wrong with Lao Mumu's brain, I always had a feeling that he was just faking it, but I couldn't be sure."

"So, I usually pretend to believe that there is something wrong with his brain, and I still talk to him in a joking tone like everyone else."

"But secretly, I kept guarding against him until that day when the swallow, which had not been back for seven or eight years, came back from outside."

"I found that he could communicate very well with Yanzi, which made me have serious doubts about him, because he, a person with a brain problem who I haven't seen for seven or eight years, could talk to her very casually.

comminicate."

Sighing softly, the old village chief continued to explain: "Although, he seemed to have some difficulty communicating with Yanzi, but this still revealed that he has a brain problem, and he may be faking it."

"You are observing very carefully." Lu Qiang couldn't help but explain after listening to the old village chief's explanation.

But the old village chief talked eloquently: "Actually, it's nothing. I was just thinking, if Lao Mu, even Yanzi, who I haven't seen since leaving Hemu Village for seven or eight years, can randomly chat with her."

"Then, it should be a matter of course that he remembers the things I chatted with the scarred man that day."

"So I felt that things were not that simple, so I continued to observe secretly these days."

"I found that when there was no one around, Lao Mumu's expression and body movements were normal, just like he did under normal circumstances."

"But when you meet other people, you behave in two completely different situations."

"He would instantly become stunned and in a daze, and he would never be able to hear clearly what others were saying."

"This confirms to me that he must be faking his illness."

"But since it's just a pretense, then he should also be very aware of what happened between me and the scarred man."

When he said this, the old village chief couldn't bear it anymore and said slowly: "So I have no choice. If I want to keep this secret, then I must get rid of this trouble."

"Especially when the police from Jiangnan City came to our Hemu Village in Tai City, I already realized that the situation seems to be no longer that simple."

After hearing the old village chief's explanation, Lu Weiwei continued to ask: "But why did you secretly take away Yanzi and Yuan Shasha's luggage?"

"If you want to take it away, you should actually take it away before we arrive, instead of waiting until we have discovered the luggage."

"I know." Feeling that he needed to explain, the old village chief also said slowly:

"Actually, I took the luggage just to put the blame on Lao Mu."

"Because if I get rid of the old wood, and you still find his hiding place."

"Then you will definitely identify the suspect as Lao Mu. You can't find Lao Mu anyway. In this way, you can divert the pressure."

"It was based on this that I began to make up my mind to get rid of the old wood to avoid leaving behind problems and causing unnecessary trouble to myself."

"You are really cruel." When Lu Qiang heard this, he suddenly realized and finally figured out why Lao Mu was attacked?

The old village chief had long seen through his acting skills.

It's just that the old village chief played a trick and wanted to take advantage of Lao Mu's disappearance to shift the police's suspicion onto him.

In this way, as long as the old wood cannot be found, the old wood will always be suspected.

By doing this, you can indeed clear yourself of suspicion.

But the old village chief still missed a move. He never thought that Gu Chen would be able to find the hiding place of Old Mu based on some small clues.

At the moment when Lao Mumu was rescued, the old village chief was already listed as a suspect by Gu Chen and others.

It was only from that time that the old village chief had a vague feeling that the police had sent two police officers to protect him in name, but in fact, they were putting him under house arrest.

Thinking of this, the old village chief became much more relieved.

"Comrade police." Looking up at Gu Chen and the others, the old village chief also choked up and said:

"I admit that I was too greedy before. I just wanted to get the wealth left by our ancestors. This is not wrong at all."

"What's wrong is that I want to keep that wealth for myself, and I don't want to share it with the villagers."

"Because there are no more people who know this secret. After so many years of historical changes, Hemu Village has long changed."

"I just want money, I have no other intention."

"But you are still killing yourself now." As soon as the old village chief finished speaking, Officer Wang retorted sternly.

The old village chief sighed and said with a smile: "I admit, I was really a little bit superior at the time. I felt that Old Wood was threatening me, so I had to get rid of him."
