Mountain Village Massacre, Train Murder Case Chapter 26
As the train moved slowly, Xu Lang and his party finally arrived in S city after more than thirty hours of riding.
When the train approached Province H, Xiao Yueyue, who had been in a low mood, finally became lively and became that lively and youthful little girl again.
After Xiao Yueyue got up from sleeping on the berth all night, she sat with Xu Lang on the aisle seat and looked at the slowly receding scenery outside the window. Beihu Province is located in the south of China. It is said to be the south, but in fact it is
It is already very close to the north. When Xu Langgang brought Xiao Yueyue to Beihu Province, he could still see snowflakes falling in the sky in winter. However, as time went by, although it was not winter,
It will still snow, but the snow is no longer as heavy as when Xu Lang and the others first arrived in Zhuxi County.
At that time, when it snowed, it was the first time that Xiao Yueyue saw snow. However, Xiao Yueyue was still young at that time, so she probably didn’t remember it, and it was also the first time for Xu Lang to see such a big snow.
Snow, for Xu Lang, who has lived in a coastal city since he was a child, he has never seen snow before he went to Beihu Province.
Before Xu Lang and the others left, there were several light snowfalls in Zhuxi County. The snowfall was not heavy and basically turned into rainwater when it hit the ground. Occasionally, a trace of snowy white would fall on some eaves.
Proving that they had been here before, as the train got closer and closer to the south, the temperature gradually increased, and Xu Lang and the others never saw traces of snow again.
Xiao Yueyue was lying by the window at this moment, opening her beautiful big eyes and looking outside with interest.
The train has slowly entered the station, and the speed has finally slowed down. Xu Lang and Lu Xing have taken out the luggage placed under the bed and are ready to get off.
When Xu Lang was picking up his luggage, he glanced at the man who had been sleeping soundly in the box. The man had already sat up. He packed his luggage slowly and turned a blind eye to Xu Lang and the others coming in and out, while the young woman
But Xu Lang was not in the box. What surprised Xu Lang the most was that the woman sleeping on the upper bunk had not moved since Xu Lang and the others got on the bus until now. She had neither turned over nor gotten off to go to the toilet.
Or eating, as if he were dead. When Xu Lang took Xiao Yueyue and the others away, he took a deep look at the sleeping woman.
The train entered the station and the door opened. Xu Lang carried the suitcase in one hand and held Xiao Yueyue, who was looking around, with the other hand, and walked towards the exit, while Lu Xing followed the two of them.
.
Lu Xing took a long breath after getting off the car. Obviously, he still preferred the familiar S city to Beihu Province.
The three people passed the exit smoothly. When they walked out of the exit, they saw Ning Yanran waiting for them outside.
Xu Lang was not surprised by Ning Yanran's appearance. When Lu Xing set out from Zhuxi County, he told Ning Yanran the news when he returned to S City. Naturally, he also knew that Xu Lang and the others had arrived in S City.
time.
When Xu Lang and the others arrived, it was already evening and the lanterns were starting to go on.
After the four people met, they exchanged polite greetings. Ning Yanran took a deep look at Xu Lang and led them to a black Audi car parked outside. Xu Lang opened the trunk and put the suitcase in the trunk.
Xiao Yueyue and Lu Xing opened the rear door and got in.
Xu Lang originally planned to sit in the back seat, but Lu Xing closed the door after getting in the car, while Ning Yanran sat in the driver's seat and looked at Xu Lang without saying anything, so Xu Lang had no choice but to sit in the back seat.
He touched his nose, opened the passenger door, and got in.
After everyone was seated, Ning Yanran slowly started the car and left the train station.
Not long after Xu Lang and the others left the train station, the train on which Xu Lang and the others were riding emitted a pitiful scream from the conductor. After a few dozen minutes, two police cars with sirens sounding came to the train.
Station and entered the box where Xu Lang and the others had stayed.
————
The Audi car was driving on the street. Pedestrians on the street were walking in a hurry, people were laughing and talking, but the atmosphere inside the car was a bit solemn.
Ning Yanran drove the car seriously while looking at Xu Lang out of the corner of her eye. Ever since she got in the car, she had been looking sideways at Xu Lang outside the window. Neither of them spoke.
After Xiao Yueyue got in the car, she lay beside the car window and looked curiously at this steel city, which was extremely unfamiliar to her, while Lu Xing looked at the silent couple in front.
"Has the journey been smooth?" In the end, Ning Yanran was the first to speak.
"It went pretty smoothly." Lu Xing saw that Xu Lang had no intention of talking, so he had no choice but to answer.
"Send you and Xiao Yueyue home first?" Ning Yanran stopped at an intersection and turned to look at Xu Lang and asked.
Xu Lang finally turned around, glanced at Ning Yanran, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
When the light turned green, Ning Yanran turned left and drove the car onto another road. There was still silence along the way, and the atmosphere in the car was still extremely solemn.
Xu Lang didn't want to talk, not because he didn't want to see Ning Yanran, but because he hadn't returned to this city for a long time. Seeing the city that had changed a lot, Xu Lang felt a sense of strangeness and distance.
Especially when he thought that he would get into trouble again when he came back this time, Xu Lang was not in a very good mood, and naturally he didn't
He had the desire to talk. As for what Ning Yanran and Lu Xing thought, Xu Lang didn't care.
The Audi car drove into the community where the community used to live in silence.
After the car parked, Xu Lang got out of the car first, went to the back of the car, opened the trunk, took out the suitcase, and walked into the unit building holding Xiao Yueyue's hand, while Ning Yanran and Lu Xing followed
behind him.
A group of four people came to the door of Xu Lang's house. Xu Lang took out the key and opened the door.
When the door opened, a musty smell that had not been lived in for a long time and had no ventilation hit his face. Xu Lang had no expression. Instead, Xiao Yueyue wrinkled her cute little face and stretched out a
He covered his nose with his little hand.
After the door opened, Xu Lang carried his suitcase and walked in. He found the light switch in the dark room with familiarity. With a snap, Xu Lang pressed the switch and the originally dark room suddenly became brighter.
What the four people saw was that all the furniture was covered with cloth. The white cloth was covered with dust. It looked like no one had cleaned it for a long time.
Xu Lang casually placed the suitcase in the living room and began to lift the white cloths, while Lu Xing and Ning Yanran helped pack it away. For a moment, the room was filled with dust and looked particularly embarrassed, but Xiao Yueyue did not
He stood there watching the show, but very sensible and followed to help.
Xu Lang and the others arrived at S City at six o'clock in the afternoon, and it was half past six when they got home. After packing up everything at home, it was already around nine o'clock and almost ten o'clock. With the help of Lu Xing and Ning Yanran, Xu Lang and the others could
It is only temporarily clearing out the living room and bedroom. Other places, such as the dining room and kitchen, cannot be cleaned up in a short time.
After all this work, the four of them were exhausted and sweating profusely, and several of them were covered in dust, looking particularly embarrassed.
After Ning Yanran came out of the bathroom, she looked at her home, which was still decent for the time being, and said to Xu Lang, "It's impossible to cook at home. Let's go out to eat."
Xu Lang originally wanted to refuse, but at this moment, Xiao Yueyue's stomach made an untimely sound.
"Cuckoo"
Obviously, Xiao Yueyue was starving for a long time. After seeing this scene, Xu Lang had no choice but to nod in agreement. So, the four of them walked out of the house together and ordered a few in a restaurant not far from Xu Lang's house.
The four of us sat around and ate together.
While eating, Ning Yanran basically didn't move her chopsticks. She just kept picking up food for Xiao Yueyue, and then looked at Xu Lang, unable to speak.
Ning Yanran had a lot of things she wanted to say to Xu Lang, but with Lu Xing and Xiao Yueyue around, there were some things Ning Yanran couldn't say. Moreover, Xu Lang's mood was not very high, so Ning Yanran had no choice but to remain silent.
Lu Xing didn't seem to notice Xu Lang and Ning Yanran's abnormal reactions. He still had to eat and drink, waving his chopsticks to pick up vegetables, while Xiao Yueyue raised her little head while picking up the rice.
His eyes glanced back and forth on the faces of Xu Lang and Ning Yanran.
After Xu Lang saw this scene, he stretched out his chopsticks and gently tapped Xiao Yueyue's bowl and said, "Eat well."
"oh."
Xiao Yueyue immediately concentrated on eating and turning over it.
Just when Xu Lang and the others were almost finished eating, a siren suddenly sounded outside the restaurant, followed by two police cars parked outside the restaurant. Xu Lang and others were immediately attracted by the sound of the siren.
Except for Xiao Yueyue who was still lowering her head to eat, Xu Lang and the other three people put down their chopsticks and looked at the door, wondering if something happened outside.
At this time, only Xu Lang and his group were eating in the restaurant. After hearing the siren and seeing the police car, the boss and a waiter all raised their heads from the counter and looked towards the door.
Just when Xu Lang and the others were wondering how the police car got here, two men in police uniforms walked into the restaurant. After they entered the door, they looked at Xu Lang and the others who were sitting there eating, and headed straight towards Xu Lang.
When they came, they didn't look like they were here to eat.
The two policemen were led by a middle-aged man in his thirties who was about the same age as Xu Lang, and next to him was a young policeman who was only in his mid-twenties. When the two of them came in front of Xu Lang and the others,
, the middle-aged man glanced around everyone's face, his eyes lingered on Ning Yanran for a moment, then he looked at Xu Lang and the others, and asked: "Which of you is Xu Lang? Who is
Lu Xing? Who is Xu Yueyue?"
Xu Lang and the others did not speak immediately, but looked at each other, feeling very confused in their hearts. Xu Lang was even more surprised. He had only arrived in S City in the evening, and he had not even gotten off the train.
Six hours later, someone came to the door. Xu Lang narrowed his eyes subconsciously, then raised his head and looked at the middle-aged policeman and said, "Excuse me..."
Xu Lang glanced at the police title on the man's shoulder and said, "Comrade director, I am Xu Lang. Do you have anything to do with us?"
"Are you Xu Lang?" After hearing Xu Lang say his position, the middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, then raised his voice and said with a drawl.
"I am Xu Lang."
"What about Lu Xing and Xu Yueyue?"
Lu Xing raised his head at this time and said, "I am Lu Xing."
Xu Lang pointed at Xiao Yueyue who was still feasting and said, "She is Xu Yueyue."
"Oh, so you are all here."
The middle-aged man glanced at Xiao Yueyue, then turned his attention to Xu Lang and said, "Since you are all here, please come with me to the police station. There are some things I need to find out from you."
Hearing that the other party asked a few of them to go to the police station, Xu Lang suddenly frowned, and so did Ning Yanran. She cast an inquiring look at Xu Lang, meaning what was going on, but Xu Lang himself
He didn't know what was going on, and he was very puzzled, so he stood up, looked at the middle-aged policeman and asked, "What is your name?"
"My surname is Ding, and my name is Ding Yan. I am the director of the railway station police station. This is a colleague from our station named Deng Zijun." The middle-aged man said.
"I wonder what Director Ding wants us to do?" Xu Lang said neither humble nor overbearing.
Ding Yan squinted his eyes again. He looked at Xu Lang with a puzzled expression in his eyes. He thought to himself, where did these people come from? How could they be so calm in the face of the police? Could it be that they were on the train?
The deceased person found had nothing to do with them? However, they were riding in the same box, and the person died in the box. How could it be possible that they said it had nothing to do with them?
Although Ding Yan was very confused and puzzled, he still asked: "Are you taking the GXX flight train from Eyan City to S City?"
Xu Lang nodded and said, "Yes."
"Did you buy the sleeper berth in box three of carriage six?"
"Yes."
"That's right, please come with us."
Hearing what Ding Yan said, Xu Lang became more and more confused. Then he thought of the woman sleeping on the upper bunk of the berth when he got off the car. Something must have happened. Otherwise, the police would not
They will be found. Thinking of this, Xu Lang asked: "Did something happen in the box?"
Ding Yan did not answer Xu Lang this time, but frowned and said, "Why are you asking so many questions? Just come with us."
At this moment, Lu Xing finally couldn't help but stood up and asked: "Director Ding, what happened on the train? Even if you want us to go to the police station with you, you have to explain the situation, right? It's for no reason.
We were taken away by you, and those who don’t know thought we had committed some crime.”
Ding Yan moved his gaze away from Xu Lang's face and turned to Lu Xing who was speaking. His frowned brows furrowed again and he said slowly: "We found two bodies, one male and one female, in the carriage.
Corpse, I suspect that you are related to this murder case. I came to see you this time because I want to understand the situation with you."
"Corpse? Murder case?" Lu Xing repeated subconsciously, and then looked at Ding Yan in surprise.
Xu Lang subconsciously touched his chin and frowned. After pondering for a moment, he raised his head, looked at Ding Yan and asked: "Did the female deceased be found on the upper bunk on the left side of the box?"
Ding Yan's pupils shrank suddenly. He stared at Xu Lang's cheek, then nodded and said, "That's right."
"The male deceased was found in the lower bunk on the right side of the box?" Xu Lang asked again.
"How do you know this? Did you kill the person?"
Before Ding Yan could speak, Deng Zijun, the young policeman who had been standing next to Ding Yan, spoke first.
"We didn't kill people." Xu Lang glanced at Deng Zijun and said slowly.
"You said you didn't kill the person, so you didn't kill the person? When they were arrested, every murderer said they didn't kill anyone. Did they really not kill anyone?" Deng Zijun looked at Xu Lang warily and said.
Xu Lang glanced at Deng Zijun again, and then said: "Oh, so you are sure that I am the murderer?"
Deng Zijun said without thinking: "So what if it's confirmed? Come back with us and explain the problem, otherwise..."
"What else?" Xu Lang glanced at Deng Zijun with interest, then turned his head and glanced meaningfully at Ning Yanran, who had been silent.
"otherwise......"
But before Deng Zijun could continue, Ding Yan finally interrupted Deng Zijun's words. He frowned and looked at Xu Lang, and said meaningfully: "Xu Lang, I don't care who you are. Since a murder has occurred now,
As the murder case is related to you, I hope you can go back with us to cooperate with the investigation and don't make it difficult for us."
Xu Lang did not look at Deng Zijun again, but looked at Ding Yan, nodded and said, "That's natural."
After saying this, Xu Lang asked Xiao Yueyue, who was still eating while Xu Lang and Ding Yan were talking, "Are you full?"
Xiao Yueyue put down her chopsticks, picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea. Then she burped comfortably, rubbed her slightly bulging belly, raised her head, and said in a milky voice: "I'm full.
"
Hearing Xiao Yueyue say that he was full, Xu Lang raised his head and said to Ning Yanran: "Please pay the bill and I'll go with them."
Ning Yanran originally wanted to reveal her identity directly, but when Xu Lang's eyes stopped her, she chose not to do that. Instead, she got up and went to check out, while Xu Lang and the others followed Ding Yan and Deng Zijun.
Walked out of the restaurant,
Xu Lang and Xiao Yueyue sat in Ding Yan's police car, while Lu Xing sat in Deng Zijun's police car. After the three people got in the car, the two people drove the police car away.
