"Drink rat poison, to say, this Lao Yang can't think about it, it's miserable to have no children and no daughters, but is there still a government? I have already declared a low-income household for him, and there will be a state allowance every month in the future, and the living will not suffocate N to death, he just can't think about it, and we are all very sad." I could see that sadness flowed from the village chief's eyes.

"Why did you drink pesticides in a good way? Did you do an autopsy? It was indeed suicide, wasn't someone deliberately murdered?" Huo Mian didn't believe it, and asked directly about the point.

The village chief was slightly stunned when he heard this, "Murder? That can't be, it must have been suicide." ”

"How can you be so sure?" Qin Chu asked again.

"Because he went to the town to sell pesticides to buy rat poison, the proprietress of the house personally admitted it, and he also said that because there are many rats in the house, so he wants to buy it, how do you know that he drinks it himself, hey......." After speaking, the village chief sighed heavily.

Qin Chu and Huo Mian glanced at each other quite tacitly......

"Then after he died, did his niece come back?" Qin Chu thought of that Uncle Yang and his only relative.

"I informed, but I shouldn't be able to come. ”

"Why?" asked Homien.

"It's not a secret, Uncle Yang went to the south for many years, we thought he was there to support the elderly, but I heard that her niece had a marriage change, her husband cheated, and she has divorced, her niece has no way to take a woman with two female babies, only to remarry, but there is only one requirement for the later arrival, the child can be raised, but the old one is definitely not raised, and I heard that his niece is very strict, and the money is not given to her, she has no travel expenses, what to pay back? Lao Yang's body is now parked in the cold storage of the health center, and I will directly find someone to take it away for cremation early tomorrow morning, and the cost of cremation is still made up by the villagers, which is really pitiful. ”

At this time, Qin Chu and Huo Mian understood, no wonder Uncle Yang suddenly came back from the south.

It turned out that his niece's family had changed and remarried, and he couldn't tolerate him, so Uncle Yang wanted not to delay his niece's remarriage.

I came back to the north alone, but I had no reason to kill myself when I came back?

After coming back, it is not impossible to live, the state treats the lonely and widowed elderly well, and they can maintain their lives.

He had only been back for less than a week, and he actually committed suicide, and Huo Mian always felt a little unreasonable.

"Village chief, has his body been examined?"

"If you do, it's rat poison. ”

"Did the police come to the scene to check, are there any traces of other people? such as footprints, fingerprints, etc. Huo Mian asked again.

"Girl, isn't it funny what you're asking? I'm sure it's a suicide, what are you doing that? Besides, Lao Yang and our people here get along very well, there is no grievance, why should someone want to harm him, and he won't get any benefits, don't you bully me for not reading much, I'm a farmer, but I also pay attention to the motive of killing, isn't it?" The village chief felt that Huo Mian's question was a bit ridiculous.

"I'm sorry, I'm just asking, after all, we can't find Uncle Yang, an old relative, and we don't feel comfortable. ”

"Ah, I can understand you if it's okay, by the way, you must be from the city when you are dressed, right? Where are you from?"

The village chief didn't know if he asked intentionally or unintentionally......

Qin Chu held Huo Mian's hand and hurriedly said, "The two of us are from T City, and we are just doing some small business in the city. ”

"Oh...... Lao Yang is really unlucky, if you come early, if he knows that there are relatives, he will definitely not be able to think about it. The village chief said slowly.

Qin Chu quietly took out his wallet, took out 10,000 yuan and handed it to the village chief, "Village chief, you accept this as the cost of cremation tomorrow, and find a good cemetery for Uncle Yang for the rest, I hope he will be buried in peace." ”

"......?" the village chief seemed to be frightened by the ten thousand yuan.

"Take it, village chief, I'm sorry to trouble you, we still have something to do, I'm afraid it won't be too late for the funeral tomorrow." Qin Chu added.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll do it properly. The village chief took 10,000 yuan tremblingly and promised repeatedly.

When I left the village chief's house, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

The village chief was very enthusiastic and specially asked his daughter-in-law to fry a few side dishes, but Huo Mian and Qin Chu didn't eat them.

After getting into the car, Qin Chu asked, "Wife, how much do you believe the words of this village chief?"

"Half. Huo Mian replied calmly.

"What, do you suspect that there is something wrong with him?" Huo Mian looked at Qin Chu and continued to ask.
