Chapter 35: Case 2

Du Qianlin immediately said, "I am an orphan."

The corners of Kang Wenwen's mouth twitched.

"I see." The headmaster nodded knowingly, "You are much better than Wen Huai."

"He used to be called Goudan. Now that you know, you are indeed fellow villagers." The principal said with emotion.

"Wen Huai is still the name he gave himself after he became a husband."

Kang Wenwen really wanted to ask.How did Zhou Wenhuai become a dog?Could it be that Gouzi and him are brothers, and the deceased Erhan is an enemy?

"His parents died in a fire ten years ago, and it was even reported in the newspaper. The entire village disappeared overnight." The headmaster gently wiped the corners of his eyes.

"Wen Huai originally planned to study, and wanted to be successful and take his parents to live in a big city. After the accident, he stayed and went back to sweep the grave every month and sit with his parents."

"Hey, didn't you go back to the village first? Didn't you see him? His memorial service should also be at the site of your village before?" The principal was a little puzzled.

Du Qianlin said directly, "I didn't see it. The memorial service should go to the cemetery, I just walked around the entrance of the old village."

The headmaster shook his head and said, "There are no graves."

"No?" Kang Wenwen couldn't help but make a sound? "Why are there no tombs?"

According to what was said just now, Zhou Wenhuai is a dutiful son, how could he not even build a grave for his parents?

The headmaster's cloudy eyes began to turn red gradually.

"Why doesn't he want to build a grave for his parents, but how can he build a grave if the bones are not found?"

Kang Wenwen's mind froze, and he turned to look at Du Qianlin in shock.They still didn't give Kang Wenwen half a look.

But the shock in Du Qianlin's eyes could also be seen.

"Didn't he die in the fire? How could there be no bones?" How can there be death without bones?

Du Qianlin knew that Zhou Wenhuai would go back every month, but he didn't know that his parents' bones were not found.After the fire was extinguished, no one in Yang Village dared to look at it.The village chief first found a master to perform rituals at the entrance of Zhoudi's village to save the dead, and then the villagers went in to have a look.

At that time, Gouzi was only 20 years old. He stood at the entrance of the village and took a look inside. Before he saw anything, he was rushed back by the smell of burnt fat and dared not go in to look.

That day the village chief came out with a child in his arms.He was before the dynasty, when he was only 12 years old, he was just a child, and he couldn't remember anything after he hit his head and woke up, so the village chief left him in the village to raise him.

As for the latter.

I remember that the village chief said to help them put their bones in the coffin, but Brother Gouzi didn't know what happened after that.It's just that since then everyone has panicked about everything in Zhoudi and kept silent.

The headmaster lowered his eyes and shook his head, "I don't know the specifics. When Wen Huai heard the news and rushed back, he had been delayed for several days. Later, he came back and hid in his dormitory without going out or attending classes." He didn’t even eat. I talked to him for a day before he told me that he couldn’t find his parents, but people in the next village said they saw his parents burnt to death.”

"So the purpose of his stay is to find the remains of his parents?" Kang Wenwen asked.

The principal said, "He didn't say anything, he just said he wanted to stay. He said that people from the neighboring village must have set the fire, and he had reported it to the police. But the police station at that time couldn't even handle the affairs of the living. It's a matter of death."

Kang Wenwen looked at Du Qianlin for the third time. This time, Du Qianlin was willing to "communicate" with him, but he took his eyes away when he met Du Qianlin.

Kang Wenwen felt as if he had fallen into a sealed jar, he couldn't breathe in or out, and his chest seemed to be blocked by cotton.

After leaving the school, the two went straight to the worker Ma Gan's house without saying a word.

Ma Gan’s house is a family building allocated by the factory, and Ma Gan’s father is also a worker in this factory, but his rank is much higher than that of Ma Gan.There are two men in the family making money, so Ma Gan's mother cooks and does laundry at home.

As soon as they entered the door, Ma Gan's parents enthusiastically pulled Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen to sit down, made tea and offered sugar, which made Kang Wenwen a little flattered.

"Are you here looking for Ma Gan? He's not at home, he must have gone out with friends." Ma Gan's mother looked old, and the wrinkles on her face were particularly obvious.Kang Wenwen looked at her hands pouring water, obviously there were not many calluses and wrinkles on her hands.

Du Qianlin said, "We are not looking for him, we want to ask your elder brother something."

Of course they knew that Ma Gan was not at home. Of course he was not at home when he went to Yangcun to see his wife and was entangled in a murder case.

"What's the matter? You can ask." Ma Gan's father couldn't help laughing when he saw Du Qianlin's serious face.

Du Qianlin cut to the chase and said, "Ma Gan goes to Yang Village every week, do you know?"

"Boom-"

Something seemed to have fallen on the floor in the kitchen.

Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen tilted their heads to look at the same time.

"Oh, it's all right." Ma Gan's mother smiled and stretched out her head.

Du Qianlin saw Ma Gan's father frowning tightly.

"You don't want Ma Gan to marry that girl?"

Ma Gan's father suddenly shook his head. "ah?"

"Oh, it's not that I don't like that girl, it's just that she..."

Kang Wenwen glanced at Du Qianlin, and thought, "Even Ma Gan's parents don't know that Ma Gan went to see his daughter-in-law and they don't like Ma Gan's daughter-in-law. They know these things, but they haven't told me!"

Du Qianlin was still sitting upright, and he didn't know if he saw Kang Wenwen staring at him.

"By the way, I haven't asked my uncle's last name. It can't be that his last name is Ma, right?" Du Qianlin asked as if joking.

The uncle was stunned and subconsciously said, "Oh, my surname is Zhou."

Kang Wenwen became energetic in an instant, surnamed Zhou?Could it be the week of 'Zhoudi'?

There was no emotion on Du Qianlin's face, he still smiled and said, "Oh, that hemp stick has to be called Zhou Magan."

Kang Wenwen thought that Du Qianlin was chasing after him, so he directly asked them if they belonged to Zhoudi, what they thought of the fire at that time, and whether any relatives died in the fire...

But Du Qianlin continued to chat with his uncle and aunt, causing Kang Wenwen to doze off.

The factory is not far from the family building, but it is still in the suburbs.

Kang Wenwen pouted as he walked behind Du Qianlin.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Kang Wenwen kicked the stone away depressedly.

Du Qianlin didn't stop in his footsteps, as if he didn't hear the question Kang Wenwen asked him.

"Du Qianlin, why didn't you tell me..." Kang Wenwen walked quickly to Du Qianlin's side, and said it again only to find that Du Qianlin didn't hear it, but he just didn't want to talk to him.

Kang Wenwen curled his lips and ignored it.Cheapskate.

"Zhou Wenhuai is called Goudan, and you are called Gouzi. Are you two brothers?" Kang Wenwen originally wanted to ignore Du Qianlin, but it was difficult for him to shut up, so Kang Wenwen changed his policy. He wants to annoy Du Qianlin to death.

"And just now, why didn't you ask Ma Gan's parents if they belonged to Zhou Di?" Kang Wen murmured.

"Ask them if they know what happened 10 years ago."

"Why don't they want Ma Gan to marry that girl?"

"I guess they are from Zhoudi. They know about the fire and hate people from Yangcun. That's why they don't want Ma Gan to marry a girl from Yangcun, right?" Kang Wenwen asked himself.

Du Qianlin glanced at him, but did not answer.

"Hey, you took a look at me, doesn't it prove that I'm right?" But Kang Wenwen caught his just look.

"Is that right?" Kang Wenwen asked.

"Is it right?" Kang Wenwen tilted his head as if asking himself.But his eyes kept quietly aiming at Du Qianlin.

Kang Wenwen scratched his head, "Oh, I don't know if I got all the guesses right, or only some of them, or none of them?"

"Ugh...."

When Kang Wenwen sighed for the nth time, Du Qianlin finally spoke.

"Parents are such a role that they cannot press questions directly. They will conceal the facts, scare the enemy and even disrupt the investigation."

Glancing at Kang Wenwen, "As for your guess, just ask one of his colleagues."

After speaking, the air was quiet again.

Kang Wenwen slightly raised his eyebrows.

I thought, this trick is easy to use, and I will annoy him like this in the future.

There is another gate at the gate of the factory, and there is a gatekeeper inside.

Du Qianlin took a look at the gate. It was covered with iron sheets and the height was at least two and a half to three meters.The iron door is smooth and there is no place to climb, it is almost impossible to climb out.

"Master, are you the security guard here?" Du Qianlin walked to the doorpost and knocked on the door.

The uncle didn't understand what "security guard" meant.

Said, "I'm not a security guard, I just look at the door."

Du Qianlin didn't care about this question, and asked, "Master, were you guarding the door the night before yesterday?"

The uncle laughed and said, "I was here last night, the night before, and the night before the day before yesterday."

Du Qianlin said, "Then what time do you guys close?"

"It's closed when it gets dark," said the uncle.

"Okay, thank you, sir." Du Qianlin smiled and waved his hands, "By the way, sir, do you know Ma Gan?"

The uncle nodded, "I know him, he even gave me some fruit yesterday."

Du Qianlin frowned slightly, "What fruit did he give you?"

"Apple...and oranges." The uncle smiled and picked up the oranges on the table to show Du Qianlin.

Kang Wen asked, "Master, did he bring it to you yesterday?"

Yesterday, I saw Ma Gan yesterday morning at the scene of the crime at the entrance of Yangcun Village. When did he deliver the fruit yesterday?

The uncle thought for a while and said, "Yesterday at noon, I just finished eating at that time. He said that he invited me to eat fruit after dinner. You young people are really serious, and you can still say it is fruit after dinner, hahaha."

Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen wandered around the factory, each thinking about something.

Ma Gan came back yesterday, what did he do in the city?

Among the suspects, apart from him, Zhou Wenhuai was the only one from the city.It made sense to go to the city to investigate Zhou Wenhuai, but at noon...he went straight to the city after checking the timeline with everyone.

Kang Wenwen thought of the "hate" written on Zhou Wenhua's two straw papers.

His parents died in a fire 10 years ago, and his parents haven't found their bones yet...

He hated Yang Village, hated the villagers of Yang Village.
