Sweet love in military marriage, the educated youth who traveled through the book was spoiled by the

Just as Ruan Yu sent the Liu family away, Xie Beichen also met Du Qingshan again who was cleaning the yard at home.

Du Qingshan was obviously a little surprised to see Xie Beichen, but he was not too flustered. Instead, he nodded and smiled at him politely across the bamboo fence as a greeting.

He originally thought that Xie Beichen would turn around and leave like before, but he didn't expect Xie Beichen to walk straight over, stand by the courtyard wall and say to him: "Can I ask you something?"

"Okay." Du Qingshan was startled by Xie Beichen's question, but he quickly came to his senses, nodded at him calmly, came over, opened the gate, and invited Xie Beichen in.

"I came here this time because I want to know something. I believe you also know about the extremely heinous murder case that just happened in our commune, right?"

Xie Beichen did not exchange pleasantries with Du Qingshan. He walked in and explained his purpose directly.

"I know." Du Qingshan nodded, but he didn't evade the question and answered in a cooperative manner: "However, the Linshui Brigade where the case happened is quite far from us. Isn't it too far for you to come here to investigate?"

After saying this, Du Qingshan seemed to think that his response was a bit too much, and hurriedly added: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious and want to say something more.

Don't worry, I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you in advance."

Xie Beichen smiled and looked at Du Qingshan who seemed to be willing to cooperate actively, but he did not continue the topic. Instead, he changed the subject and suddenly shifted the topic to somewhere else.

"You just got discharged from the army, right?"

Xie Beichen spread out the soft-cover notebook on his knees and unscrewed the pen cap but did not rush to write. Instead, he looked up at Du Qingshan and smiled slightly with a gentle tone.

"Yeah." Although Du Qingshan didn't know why Xie Beichen suddenly asked this question, he still nodded honestly: "I just came back not long ago."

"Are you used to the local life now?"

The pen slowly turned a circle on Xie Beichen's fingertips, and his tone was a bit nonchalant, as if he was talking to an old friend he had known for a long time.

But Du Qingshan was obviously not careless with Xie Beichen, and he still cooperated very well, but his attitude in answering was very cautious: "It's okay, before going to the army, I was used to doing these things."

"I heard that before you joined the army, you were also a famous hunter in this area?"

Xie Beichen nodded, but didn't ask any further questions. He changed the subject and moved on to another place.

"I've only been into the mountains with the old man a few times before, so I can't say I'm an expert, but if I'm lucky, I can still catch some mountain products to improve the family's food."

Xie Beichen's question obviously made Du Qingshan a little confused. He endured for a long time, and then answered the question with some doubts and said, "Aren't you here today to investigate the previous family extermination incident?"

“Yeah, I’m just learning about it.”

Xie Beichen smiled, picked up the notebook on his knees and shook it towards Du Qingshan, and then continued: "I heard that on the day of the incident, you entered the mountain from the side of the Hongling Brigade in the afternoon?"

"I had nothing to do that day, so I wanted to go into the mountains and try my luck."

Du Qingshan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "It's just that it may be because I haven't been into the mountains for a long time. My luck is not good, and I came up empty-handed again."

"Isn't this the first time?" Xie Beichen smiled at Du Qingshan, and this time he asked in depth about the topic: "I heard that in just less than a month, you went into the mountains almost every other day to try your luck.

Isn't your luck too bad? You can't go in empty-handed and leave empty-handed every time you go in the afternoon, right?"

"Maybe it's just bad luck."

Du Qingshan's expression remained unchanged. He looked at Xie Beichen and said self-deprecatingly, "Maybe I have done too many bad things. This is God's retribution?"

"Do you believe in retribution?"

Facing Du Qingshan's obviously over-the-top response, Xie Beichen did not start to scold him as he expected. Instead, he followed his words and asked back from a particularly tricky angle.

"I didn't believe it before, but now looking back, there are some things that are better to believe than not to believe."

Du Qingshan's fingers hanging by his side moved slightly, and he looked at Xie Beichen: "Comrade Xie, do you have anything else to ask? If you have any, please do it as soon as possible. After all, you see, this yard is a mess, and I have to continue to clean it up."

"Where were you around ten o'clock on the night of the incident?"

Xie Beichen didn't waste any more words. He changed the subject and asked Du Qingshan in a very serious tone.

"I was at home that day."

Du Qingshan answered very straightforwardly without any hesitation: "I have the habit of going to bed early, so I usually go to bed before nine o'clock in the evening.

If you don’t believe me, Comrade Xie, you can ask my family.”

"This yard is in great condition, why do we need to re-turn the soil?" Xie Beichen glanced at the ground and slowly stepped on it. It was obvious that the yard had just been renovated.

"I haven't been back for a few years, and the ground in this yard is not smooth. I think Comrade Xie also knows that my current wife is used to walking on the concrete floor. She fell twice in just two days after returning to this yard.

In fact, if we are adults, we will be more careful once we get used to it. But my child is still young, and he fell several times, which made me, as a father, feel really distressed.

It just so happens that the drainage in our yard also needs to be renovated, so since there is nothing to do at home this day, we renovated the ground and drainage ditch in the yard. "

Du Qingshan's answer was very reasonable and well-founded, and could be said to be flawless.

Xie Beichen lowered his head and finished writing in his notebook. When he heard that he didn't continue to explain, he continued to ask, "When did you renovate this yard?

What day did the Song family have trouble with?"

"I don't really remember that." Du Qingshan didn't look at Xie Beichen, but continued to explain in his own way: "After all, for this kind of thing, my parents said that we still have to wait and see.

About two days ago, they said it was a suitable day to break ground.

Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so I agreed to their request and started the construction that day."

At this point, Du Qingshan seemed to have thought of something, and quickly added, "By the way, because our family is not good at doing this kind of thing, we also asked Brother Wang and others from the village to come and help. Comrade Xie can also go and ask."
