The Mountain Village Massacre, The Train Murder Case Chapter 20
The fifth day of the first lunar month is also called the Po Wu Festival.
This day carries too many people's hopes and aspirations, so there were many taboos on this day in ancient times. For example, dumplings must be eaten on this day, uncooked rice cannot be used for cooking, and women are not allowed to visit. However, many people now observe it.
This festival has already passed, and not many people remember this festival, even in the small town of Zhuxi County. However, Xu Lang's family remembers it because this day is Xiao Yueyue's birthday.
In fact, Xu Lang himself did not know whether Xiao Yueyue was born on the fifth day of the first lunar month. The reason why he designated that day as Xiao Yueyue's birthday was mainly because Xu Lang met her on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
Xiao Yueyue, this is the first time their father and daughter have met.
Xu Lang gave Xiao Yueyue a simple birthday in his first year in Zhuxi County. Xu Lang had few friends and no one he knew in this strange little county, whether it was Zhang next door.
My sister's family and Wu Liang's family both met later. It was also at that time that they learned about Xiao Yueyue's birthday.
On this day, Xu Lang's house was very lively. Sister Zhang brought her son to Xu Lang's house to celebrate Xiao Yueyue's birthday. Wu Liang also began to take a vacation after solving the case in Sanli Village. He took his wife
Also came to Xu Lang's house, along with several other police officers from the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
For a home that used to have only two people, Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue, today the home seemed a lot more lively.
Today, Xu Lang did not cook. Sister Zhang and Wu Liang's daughter-in-law were busy in the kitchen, while Xu Lang, Wu Liang and others were talking, chatting and playing cards at home, while Xiao Yueyue
Then I was watching TV with Sister Zhang’s son in the living room.
What Xu Lang and Wu Liang talked about the most was about criminal cases. The topic revolved around the homicide case in Sanli Village where three people died and five were injured. Wu Liang and the others were still lamenting that they went on a murder spree just for a few gossips. This
It’s so unreasonable and I feel it’s not worth it.
Xu Lang didn't comment too much on this, because he had seen too many stories behind murder cases and was used to it, or he was numb.
After everyone finished talking about the murder case in Sanli Village, Wu Liang looked at Xu Lang and asked curiously: "Brother Lang, what did you do before?"
Hearing Wu Liang's question, others also turned to look at Xu Lang. They were very curious about this man with long snow-white hair who was alone with his child, especially since he was very experienced in solving crimes.
, with their keen sense of smell, they felt that Xu Lang was not a simple person.
Xu Lang knew what they wanted to know, so he smiled slightly and said, "I didn't do anything. I used to open a detective agency and assisted the local police in solving a few cases."
When other people heard Xu Lang's explanation, they all chose to believe that for ordinary people, the profession of detective might only appear in novels or film and television dramas. At that time, those of them who were police officers knew about this industry.
,Although there are no detectives in Zhuxi County, there are still some in the first-tier cities of China.
Others believed Xu Lang's explanation, but Wu Liang did not believe it. Although he had never seen a real detective, he also knew about the detective industry in movies, TV series and novels. Detectives mostly serve those rich people.
For example, to find out whether the husband is keeping a mistress outside and the wife is keeping a love interest outside, or to find out the details of a rival company and dig into the other party’s
For matters such as privacy, it is the police's job to solve the case. After all, they are the professionals. There is rarely cooperation between the police and detectives. Even if there is, it is not a big case.
However, Xu Lang gave Wu Liang too many surprises in the past five years. Not to mention Xu Lang's smart mind, sharp intuition, and precise judgment, when Xu Lang saw the corpse,
The indifferent attitude of a detective is not that of a detective. In addition, Xu Lang is very understanding and clear about the police's methods of handling cases. Sometimes, Xu Lang will even tell Wu Liang some techniques that he has not learned before, and
These are simply not things a detective should know.
Everyone has strong curiosity. Some people can suppress their curiosity, while others cannot. Wu Liang is the latter. He has investigated Xu Lang's files many times. However, he can
The files he saw were all very simple, without any doubts, which made Wu Liang feel puzzled and at the same time, he became more and more curious.
In the murder case in Sanli Village where three people died and five were injured, Xu Lang actually arrived at the murder scene with Xiao Yueyue, who was not yet six years old, and even took the little girl to touch the body. This made Wu Liang even more shocked.
, especially what Xu Lang said to Wu Liang accidentally at that time.
"This is not the first time Xiao Yueyue has seen a corpse."
It was not the first time, which meant that Xiao Yueyue had seen corpses before. However, Wu Liang clearly remembered that in the past few years since Xu Lang came to Zhuxi County, he had discussed the case many times.
I asked Xu Lang's opinion, but he rarely took Xu Lang to the morgue to see the corpses, and he never took Xiao Yueyue to see the corpses. So, where did Xu Lang take Xiao Yueyue to see the corpses?
Where is the corpse? Wu Liang was puzzled.
Just when Wu Liang wanted to ask Xu Lang something about him, Sister Zhang came out of the kitchen and said to them who were chatting: "It's time to start dinner."
Xu Lang immediately stood up, walked to the dining room, and began to clear the table and prepare to eat. Xiao Yueyue also went from the living room to the kitchen to help serve the dishes.
Others also began to come to the restaurant to sit down. Wu Liang's daughter-in-law saw how sensible Xiao Yueyue was. There was a touch of love and doting in her eyes, and she said to Xu Lang: "Xiao Yueyue is so young, but she is so sensible."
Yes, he will definitely be a filial child when he grows up."
No one likes to hear others praise their children, and Xu Lang does the same. When Wu Liang's wife said this, a proud smile appeared on Xu Lang's face, and he looked at Xiao Yueyue dotingly.
The dishes were served quickly, and a group of people sat around the dining table. Xu Lang placed the cake that had been prepared in front of Xiao Yueyue. Six candles were inserted on the cake, and on the top of the cake was written "Zhu Xiaoyue"
Happy birthday month.
After a group of people sat down, Wu Liang's daughter-in-law said to Xiao Yueyue, who was wearing a little hat: "Little birthday boy, hurry up and make a wish."
Xiao Yueyue immediately put her hands together, closed her eyes, and made a wish on the cake.
Not long after, Xiao Yueyue opened her eyes and looked at everyone, and said in a sweet voice: "The promise is over."
Everyone sang a birthday song when Xiao Yueyue made a wish. After hearing what Xiao Yueyue said, Wu Liang said in surprise: "What kind of wish are you making, so fast?"
Xiao Yueyue rolled her eyes at Wu Liang and said crisply: "You can't say your wishes. Once you say them, they won't work."
"Ha ha..."
After everyone heard it, they immediately
He burst out laughing.
At this time, Sister Zhang said to Xiao Yueyue: "Blow out the candles quickly."
"Yes, yes, yes, blow out the candles, blow out the candles." Wu Liang and others said quickly.
"call......"
Xiao Yueyue puffed up her cheeks and blew out the candle in front of her. Then, she didn't show how happy she was, but sighed arrogantly.
"Why..."
When Wu Liang's daughter-in-law saw Xiao Yueyue like this, she was both amused and curious, so she asked, "What's wrong, Xiao Yueyue, aren't you happy on your birthday?"
"happy."
"Then why are you sighing?"
Xiao Yueyue wrinkled her little face and said bitterly: "My birthday means that I am one year older again, eh..."
"Ha ha......"
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then burst out laughing. Xiao Yueyue's little face wrinkled a little more, and Xu Lang also had a smile in his eyes, and glanced at Xiao Yue helplessly.
Yue, stretched out her hand and rubbed Xiao Yueyue's head without saying anything.
Wu Liang looked at Xiao Yueyue, then turned to look at Xu Lang, with complicated and strange eyes and said: "Brother Lang, Xiao Yueyue is too precocious."
In response to Wu Liang's words, Xu Lang just smiled and said nothing. He just asked everyone to start eating and drinking.
For a moment, the dining table was extremely lively. The men were changing glasses, and the women were picking up food for the two children while chatting. The topic still revolved around Xiao Yueyue.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when everyone was enjoying their meal, suddenly, two people walked in from outside.
This was a pair of young men and women, both of whom were not very old. They were probably about the same age as Xu Lang. After seeing that these two people looked a bit dusty, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and looked at them.
.
They didn't know this couple. They thought they were Xu Lang's friends, especially when they saw the deep affection in the beautiful woman's eyes when she saw Xu Lang, and the look in her eyes when she saw Xu Lang.
The woman's snow-white hair looked sad, and her eyes were filled with tears before she could speak. This made everyone feel very confused and curious, so they all turned their heads to look at Xu Lang.
Xiao Yueyue also put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands at this time, looked at the man and woman who suddenly visited, and then turned to look at Xu Lang. She didn't recognize these two people, and she was very confused.
When Xu Lang saw these two people, his face, which was originally filled with a bright smile, suddenly became gloomy and solemn at this moment. He put down the chopsticks in his hand, raised his head and looked at the two people standing at the door, frowning.
He frowned and asked without any emotion in his tone: "Why are you here?"
When the man and woman heard Xu Lang's words, the man's expression was a little embarrassed. He subconsciously turned his head to look at the woman. After the woman heard Xu Lang's words, there was a hint of sadness in her eyes. However,
She quickly calmed down the emotions on her face, raised her hand and touched the corners of her eyes, then looked at Xu Lang and said, "Xu Lang, long time no see."
"Brother Lang, long time no see." The man also said quickly.
Xu Lang's brows furrowed even more tightly, he looked at the two people and asked, "What are you doing here?"
