Chapter 839: No Return
After Mei Ji finished saying that compliment, she bowed slightly and said, "It's getting late, the little girl is going back to the room, the playboy please."
Faced with Meggie's repetition, Hanalang had no choice but to ask her to leave.
When Mei Ji left the back garden, the snow was still falling, and it seemed to be much bigger, and Hua Lang stood under the plum tree and looked up, only to see the plum blossoms falling from the tree in the wind, and the petals were mixed with the snow, making it difficult to tell whether it was the plum blossoms or snowflakes that were falling.
The cold wind was miserable, and Hanarang stood under the tree and thought, why does Mei Ji like to stand under the tree and enjoy the plum blossoms?
Is it just because of preference?
Mei is lonely, so is Mei Ji also lonely?
can look at Xiang Yu's appearance, he seems to be very fond of Mei Ji, so how can Mei Ji feel lonely?
Hua Lang didn't know that if two people who don't love each other are together, no matter how good they are to each other, there will be no spiritual entanglement.
It's dusk, and a few sparrows are looking for food in the snow, but the snow is too thick, where can they still find food? Hua Lang looked at the sparrows on the snow, and suddenly felt that not only was life difficult for people to have smooth sailing, but even those free birds that everyone envied had their own troubles.
When he left the back garden, Hua Lang's hair was already full of snowflakes, he went back to the house and knocked it, Wen Meng was not asleep at that time, he saw Hua Lang like this, stared and asked, "Where have you been?" ”
Hanalang didn't dare to say anything about seeing Mei Ji, so he only smiled and said, "Walking around, don't you think it's very poetic to walk in such a snowy day!" ”
Wen Mengke didn't feel any poetry, she smiled: "I only feel cold." ”
It was really cold enough, and after Hua Lang took off his coat, he hurriedly rushed into the bed.
The night is getting deeper, the whole Xiangjiazhuang is silent, the snow is still falling, and the cold wind blows the window lattice, making a whining sound.
I don't know when the snow stopped, and the next day everyone got up, but they saw a white snow.
But at this time, news suddenly came that Xiang Si of Xiangjiazhuang hanged himself.
This news came suddenly, and it made everyone feel overwhelmed, they were investigating the murder of Xiang Dang, why did Xiang Jiazhuang have a murder?
Although they were surprised, since there was a murder, they couldn't ignore it, so everyone hurriedly rushed to Xiang Si's house.
It was a very simple home, in the courtyard full of snow, there were only two small thatched huts, the thatched huts were dilapidated, giving people a feeling of being overwhelmed by the snow, in one of the houses, there were crying voices from time to time, when Bao Zheng took people in, he was a little surprised, because there were not many homes in the thatched huts, and there were not even a few quilts on a bed, so I was afraid that I could not keep out the cold at night.
The deceased has been carried down by his family, and now he is lying flat on the bed, with strangulation marks on the neck of the deceased, and there is a man and a woman kneeling in front of the bed, and the man and woman are crying very much, very sad, thinking that they are the children of the deceased.
At this time, Xiang Yu explained to Bao Zheng: "They are Xiang Fei, the son of Xiang Si, and his daughter-in-law. ”
Bao Zheng bowed slightly, and then asked Hua Lang to go to the autopsy, while he looked at Xiang Fei and his mother-in-law and asked, "Which of you found the body?" ”
Xiang Fei's wife heard Bao Zheng's question, and hurriedly stood up: "Back to my lord, it's me, I called my father-in-law to get up and eat early this morning, but I pushed the door open and came in, only to find that my father-in-law had hanged himself." ”
Bao Zheng frowned slightly, feeling that this matter was so weird, so he asked: "Is it that you husband and wife abused the elderly, so that the old man committed suicide?" ”
Bao Zheng also has a certain reason for asking this, the house is simple and abnormal, and the quilt on the bed can't keep out the cold, no matter who it is, on a snowy day like last night, it will be freezing and shivering, and the idea of leaving this world will be born.
That Xiang Fei listened to Bao Zheng's question, and immediately knelt down and shouted: "Lord Bao is wronged, our husband and wife are very filial to my father, but the family is poor, and there is really no money to sell quilts for my father to keep out the cold. ”
Seeing Xiang Fei say this, Bao Zheng really went to their room to check it, and when Bao Zheng took a look, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart, what Fei said was really right, this family is indeed poor and pitiful, there is really only one quilt on the bed of their husband and wife, and the furniture in the house is also extremely simple, which is the same as Xiang Si's room.
After Bao Zheng came to the scene of the murder again, he looked at Xiang Fei and asked, "What did you hear last night?" ”
"It snowed a lot last night, we went to bed early and didn't hear anything."
"Can you find suspicious footprints in your home this morning?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Your father may have been killed, that's why I asked."
Hearing Bao Zheng say this, Xiang Fei shook his head again and again: "Impossible, my father is very old, and he usually doesn't grudge against people at all, and our family has no property to worry about, who would kill my father!" ”
After Xiang Fei said this, Xiang Fei's wife hurriedly echoed: "I think my father-in-law must have hanged himself, he kept saying that he didn't want to affect us, if it weren't for me and my husband to be strict, my father-in-law would have committed suicide a long time ago." ”
"Oh, what's going on?" After Bao Zheng heard Mrs. Xiang Fei's words, he was very surprised, because he really couldn't understand, how could a person be stupid enough to commit suicide?
At this time, Mrs. Xiang Fei said: "Father-in-law, he is not in good health, and our family is very poor, my father-in-law always thinks that he is dragging us down, otherwise our life can be better, he always said that it is better to die, this morning I found that my father-in-law hanged himself, and we both have such thoughts." ”
After listening to the words of the husband and wife, Bao Zheng pondered for a long time and asked, "Did you find any suspicious footprints this morning?" ”
Xiang Fei and his wife shook their heads: "When I got up early this morning, the whole courtyard was snow-white, and there was nothing on the snow. ”
"The footprints may have been covered in snow." Gongsun Ce reminded on the side.
Bao Zheng bowed slightly, if there was really a murderer, then he must be the one who killed when the snow had not stopped.
And whether there is a murderer or not depends on how well Hanaro examines the body.
Everyone turned their eyes to Hua Lang, and after carefully observing the neck of the deceased, Hua Lang straightened up and said, "Murdered." ”
"Murdered?" Everyone couldn't help but be surprised, and Xiang Fei and his wife couldn't believe that this sentence was true.
And at this time, Hua Lang nodded: "It was indeed murdered." ”
