Chapter 41
While chatting, the hostess Liao Shuhong went home.
At around nine o'clock this morning, the eldest son came home suddenly. He didn't prepare anything at home, so the mother got on an electric tricycle and went to the next town to catch the market and buy things.
Originally, Ma Siyu bought some things and brought them back, but the mother felt that she had to stew a river fish because the eldest son said that he would not be back for the New Year this year, so it would be a New Year's Eve dinner in advance.
Ma Siyu originally wanted to drive his mother to go shopping, but soon there were guests at home and he couldn't get out. He drove such a nice car because he wanted his parents to enjoy it, but neither of his parents got in the car even once.
There was meat and other things at home, so Liao Shuhong bought a big fish. She went into the kitchen and took off her coat and various warm protective gear. When she saw Lu Ling, she asked her husband: "A guest is coming to the house? Are you not early?"
Say, I’ll buy more.”
There are enough things, but saying it this way makes it seem more important.
"It's okay. You cook first, and I'll have a chat with the police officer." After Ma Teng said this, he motioned Lu Ling to go to the living room.
So the two of them walked through the bedroom and into the living room. It was a bit cold here, so Lu Ling put on his coat.
"It's not that I'm uncooperative in the case in the village. You also know that I'm not in good health. My wife went to take notes twice. I don't know if you read it or not." Ma Teng looked at the door on the other side to make sure it was open.
It's closed.
"What's her name?"
"Liao Shuhong."
"Are there many people named Liao in your village?"
"She's the only one."
"Then I just read it. I remember that one of the people who took the transcript was named Liao, but I can't remember exactly what was said." Lu Ling's memory is not bad.
"Our family doesn't know much, so she didn't say anything." Ma Teng shook his head.
"This has been going on for so long, what should you think?" Lu Ling asked.
"Do you know what the villagers say about this matter? They say Zhang Tao killed Wang Shoufa and ran away." Ma Teng said, his expression still a little tense.
"What does the doctor say about your illness?" Lu Ling looked at Ma Teng and saw that something was wrong.
"With surgery, I might be able to hold on for a while longer. Without surgery, it would probably be a year." After saying this, Ma Teng still looked a little disappointed.
"Um..."
If Lu Ling didn't point it out, Ma Teng's liver cancer was at an advanced stage and had already begun to hurt. Without treatment, it would usually last only three months, but it was rare for more than half a year to occur. Since Ma Teng had seen a doctor, he wouldn't have known this.
In this case, Ma Teng told Lu Ling this way because he didn't want Lu Ling to think that he was asking his eldest son to come back early because he was about to die. The old accountant was a shameless person, and he didn't want Lu Ling to pity him because he was sick.
"The one you mentioned, the conjecture that Zhang Tao killed Wang Shoufa, I know, this is also one of the investigation ideas at present." Lu Ling nodded, he wanted to hear "but".
"This village may be a little more complicated than you think, but in fact everyone is quite simple and selfish." Ma Teng looked at Lu Ling: "More than thirty years ago, when the village was engaged in contracting, Liu Zhongmin and Liu Zhonglian were
The one with the strongest connections got the best place, and they made a lot of money. Unfortunately, the two brothers made money by eating, drinking, gambling, and didn't save anything. The person in charge of the village at the time was even more shady, but he has passed away.
I won’t say more. To this day, the relationships and conflicts between many people in the village are still related to those thirty years ago.”
"Are there any conflicts that have existed thirty years ago? You mean, Wang Shoufa's death and Zhang Tao's disappearance are all related to conflicts that existed many years ago?"
"This village was in chaos 30 years ago. The causes planted 30 years ago have normal results now. Causes and effects reincarnate."
Lu Ling didn't expect that this old accountant was really a man of culture, but it really didn't make much sense to use words like this. He didn't provide any useful evidence. But looking at Ma Teng's look, Lu Ling still didn't say anything.
He originally thought that Ma Teng would tell him an ancient story in the village. Who would have thought that the old accountant would change the topic: "The car and boat shop's legs and teeth should be killed even if they are not guilty!"
Thirty years ago, Dongpo Village was quite prosperous. Around 1985, independent land contracting began. For some unknown reason, all the land in the village was contracted by Liu Zhongmin and Liu Zhonglian, and they made a profit in one year.
Tens of thousands.
At first, no one knew how to make money in this way. After learning about it, many people started to quarrel with the village committee, and several group fights even broke out. After that, the villagers began to be allocated their own land one after another, and each household had one.
In this way, the Liu brothers would not be able to make a lot of money, but they still kept the best place, and they could live well after all.
The village has been peaceful for a few years. The two of them have spent all their money, traveled to many places, and learned a lot about the outside world. Later, they owed some debts and were chased into the village.
At that time, everyone laughed at them, and those who thought it was unfair before did not say anything.
But the two of them were really lucky. A few years later, they actually found a mine in the mountains - a boron mine.
The output of boron mines in Liaodong has always been large, and the management was not strict at that time. The two of them dug and sold them secretly. Although the output of this boron mine was not large and the abundance was not high, they could only hold it for two people. Soon,
The two brothers had everything, even driving a car.
In the mid-1990s, it was not an ordinary family to have a car, especially in rural areas. At this time, the matchmaker for these two families had crossed the threshold.
Originally, Wang Fenglai wanted to marry Zhang Tao, but Wang Fenglai's mother didn't agree and forced her to be married to Liu Zhongmin. And Liu Zhonglian also married a beautiful daughter-in-law, Liu Ying.
More than a year later, the boron mine was dug too deep and collapsed, killing two workers. In order to prevent the matter from getting worse, the Liu brothers lost a lot of money. Most of the money they earned before went into it. Although they still had cars,
But it's never the same again.
So, these two people started racing cars outside again, and after all, they lived better than ordinary people.
Over the years, I don’t know how many people have gloated over the misfortune and hoped that the Liu brothers would be finished. However, after many ups and downs, they are still doing well in the village and have bought houses in the county.
...
Lu Ling had read some of the history Ma Teng told in case reports, but it was far from what he felt when told by someone who had personally experienced it.
...
There is an old saying that even if someone is innocent, they should be killed.
In ancient times, due to the lack of communication and the imperfect laws, traveling was a very dangerous thing. Cartmen and boatmen often did things that seek wealth and harm lives. Shopkeepers who opened inns easily harmed their guests, porters often misappropriated their guests' property, and teeth
Some population intermediaries.
From the current point of view, only a similar profession like Yabo is heinous, and the others are serious manual jobs, but these are actually due to the soundness of the law and the advancement of science and technology.
Take "Water Margin" as an example. Wang Ying, the coachman, solicits customers just to make money, robs and kills; Zhang Heng, the boatman, almost killed Song Jiang in the middle of the river; needless to say, Sun Erniang, who opened the shop, there are "black shops" in many film and television works
” setting...
"You said the porter and tooth from the carriage shop. The carriage and boat are easy to understand. You are talking about the Liu brothers and the porter is Zhang Tao. Who is the shop and tooth?" Lu Ling felt that the old accountant did know some unknown stories in the village.
