1226. Chapter 22 A Wharf Outside the Back Door Old Chen Tou elaborated on the situation
There is also a small gate at the back of the courtyard of the ancient family, after walking out of the small door, a stone road winds among the woods and bamboo forests, and more than 100 meters away from the back door, is the wharf of the ancient Li Rao's house. Walking down the five stone steps, below is a springboard about two meters long and about eighty centimeters wide, which is made of eight pieces of wood with a diameter of about 10 centimeters. There are three brackets under the springboard.
The springboard of Gu Lirao's house is much wider than that of ordinary people.
Not far from the left and right sides of the Gujia Wharf, there is a wharf on each side, which is the wharf of the two neighbors on the left and right of the Gujia Wharf. The distance between it and Gujia Wharf is about 20 meters.
When everyone walked to the dock, Lao Chen came panting, and after a while, Rong Pingshan also came in a hurry. Both were open-minded. Lao Chen Tou held a three-tile hat in his hand and fanned the sweat on his head vigorously. Old Chen Tou is about 70 years old. With a thin face and a thin body, he looks very old. But he is in good spirits and his body is also very strong.
At a distance of five or six meters from the pier, the aquatic grass is very dense and very thick.
There are dense and thick aquatic plants in the vicinity of each wharf.
Standing on the gangplank, you can clearly see the bottom of the pond, and the depth of the water in front of the pier and on the left and right sides is about 80 or 90 centimeters, which is exactly the same as the pier in front of the school.
Old Chen pointed to a piece of aquatic grass directly in front of the gangplank, and said, "We found Mochizuki's corpse under that aquatic grass." โ
"Where is Gu Mochizuki squatting to wash things?"
Gu Lirao walked to the gangplank, he was facing west, and then squatted down: "That's how Mochizuki squats." Her mother was not at ease, and came to see her at the dock, and she said that she would be fine soon. Her mother regretted her stomach, and she said that she shouldn't have let Mochizuki come to the docks. The child was so diligent that as soon as she came back, she would do the laundry for her motherโin fact, she didn't need to do any of these things. Over the years, we have been very careful. Gu Lirao, like Xianglin's sister-in-law, said a lot to herself.
"What was Komochizuki doing at the time?"
"Washing clothes, her mother is sick, so she will help her mother wash her clothes."
"Was it slippery on the springboard?" Liu Dayu said as he rubbed his shoes back and forth on the springboard a few times, and there was a little thin ice on the springboard.
"In the morning, there was a bit of ice on the springboard โ more ice than it is now, a little slippery. Her mother didn't let her wash her clothes, but she was very stubborn and insisted on coming here to wash her clothes. She was wearing cloth shoes on her feet, and until now, there is still one cloth shoe that has not been found. โ
"Yes! We searched for a long time in the aquatic plants, but we couldn't find them, and it stands to reason that the cloth shoes should be floating on the water. Lao Zhangtou said.
"I guess the shoes are still in the weeds." Rong Pingshan said, "I have touched that piece of water and grass several times, but I haven't touched it." โ
"It stands to reason that we should find Mochizuki in that piece of aquatic grass." Old Chen pointed to a water grass road to the west of the springboard. Old Chen Tou had something to say, he thought that if Gu Wangyue drowned, her body could not be in the aquatic grass south of the springboard.
Lao Zhangtou's doubts were exactly what Liu Dayu was puzzled about.
"Isn't it? Even if Mochizuki slipped down from here, it would be impossible to get into that piece of aquatic weed. Rong Pingshan said as he used a bamboo pole to reach into the water.
The depth of the water is about one meter.
Immediately afterwards, Rong Pingshan moved the bamboo pole more than one meter to the south, and the depth of the water was one meter and two or three. This point is only two or three meters away from the aquatic plants.
