Genshin Impact: Liyue's Strongest Thousand Rock Army

After some inquiries, the staff member nodded and left.

Su Ping watched him leave, and then he left too, going to Liyue Harbor to buy a new water tank. He also remembered that he had closed the shop for another day yesterday, so he should open the stall again, otherwise the customers would be anxious again.

Amid the busyness, the sun flew to the middle of the sky above human beings, and then gradually fell slowly step by step in the opposite direction from which it came.

In the dull and ordinary days, at dusk, Su Ping went to buy a new water jar, paid some more money, and asked for a bullock cart to bring it home.

After that, everything was arranged. After unloading the water tank at the door, Su Ping sent the two guys away, then turned around and looked at the staff member he met again before leaving this morning.

One of the main reasons why he didn't ask anyone to help move the water tank to the back of the house was that this staff member was standing in front of his door with documents in his hand, looking like he was waiting for someone.

Before Su Ping could speak, the staff member who had mentioned his name before took a few steps forward, came to his side, looked solemn, and spoke slowly.

"I'm sorry, but the case I mentioned earlier will need to be postponed because something unexpected happened. I hope you... will continue to cooperate with our investigation."

Su Ping was slightly stunned, then nodded. After all, it was the work of the General Affairs Department, and he had no choice but to cooperate.

"Thank you, my name is Xu Xun." After Xu Xun introduced himself, he turned over the information paper in his hand and said slowly: "The deceased...is the deceased in a new case, a woman, and she only has one brother left in her family.

It was the one I asked about this morning, the one who caused a big scene five years ago. She was stabbed in the abdomen with a knife, and her internal organs were injured and she died. "

Su Ping blinked his eyes. He was not shocked in his heart, but his expression still showed some changes, otherwise it would be too strange.

"She's involved in more than one case." Xu Xun kept talking, "A few days after the Moon Festival this year, two more cases occurred in this village, both of which were related to her!"

Su Ping was startled. He didn't need to pretend this time because he really didn't expect it.

The woman involved in the two cases was the one that Chen Jihua attempted to rape and then reported the body buried in the basement of the textile factory.

In any case, Su Ping really didn't expect it to be this woman. After all, the world is quite big. Although they are all from the same village, sometimes he would not think of people from the same village first.

Xu Xun noticed the change in the boy and said in a gentler voice, "That's all. Next, I need you to go to the scene with me, because the murderer who killed that woman is very likely the same person as the old man who committed suicide behind your house!"

Su Ping's pupils shrank slightly. He had not thought about it carefully just now, but after hearing this, he felt a little terrified when he thought about it carefully.

The three cases seem to have no connection, but there are some factors that are interconnected, such as the woman and Chen Baiwang, a wealthy man in the village.

It really sounded ridiculous, but Su Ping had his own ideas, and he seemed to be able to connect them together one by one.

It was this woman who caused Chen Jihua to be imprisoned, and it was also this woman who forced the textile factory, which had been doing well a few days ago, to close down.

So if the old man was not an old man, but a young man with enough strength, or even a middle-aged man, then it is indeed possible that he killed the woman under the coercion and inducement of Chen Baiwang and then committed suicide in Su Ping's house.

But an old man is an old man, no longer as majestic as he was a few years ago. He was knocked unconscious by Su Ping's punch. How could such a weak person kill someone and then run across half of the village so quickly?

Su Ping was puzzled, but he didn't know where to start. Then he realized that he was getting too obsessed with it. Maybe it wasn't necessarily the case, maybe it just looked a little similar?

After all, even the time of death has not been confirmed. Of course, it is possible that Xu Xun did not tell him, but isn't this also a possibility, a variable?

After having doubts in his mind and putting them aside one after another, the knot hidden deep in Su Ping's heart finally loosened a little. As long as he didn't think about it, he would not be affected.

While Su Ping was thinking, they did not stay where they were, but walked towards one end of the village.

"This is the autopsy report of the deceased, as well as her brother's testimony. You can take a look."

As soon as Xu Xun finished speaking, Su Ping couldn't help but wonder, "I've seen so much, what else can I see?"

“Of course, we will provide all the help we can to those who assist with the case.”

Su Ping nodded, took the paper, and read it as he walked.

"It was very dark at night. I only heard a noise and ran out to check. I saw a figure running away. My sister was in the room next to mine. Someone hacked through the door with a knife and then killed her!"

The simplicity and clarity of these words clearly indicate that they were compiled by the staff of the General Affairs Department. Otherwise, they would not have been able to ponder the truth from a piece of paper covered in scribbles.

As for the autopsy report, the time of death of the woman was very close to that of the old man, or even the same time. However, the cause of death written on it was not stabbing, but excessive blood loss.

After watching this, the two of them walked to the edge of the village, where there was only a lonely house. They opened two doors and entered two rooms respectively.

The place that usually had few people in front of the door was now as busy as a downtown. Fortunately, due to the deterrent power of the Qianyan Army, no one dared to cross the non-existent "line" and go inside to watch the fun.

In front of the house, a man was crying with his face covered. He was crying miserably and heartbreakingly, and he didn't care that he was in front of so many people.

Xu Xun brought Su Ping here, and then passed through the human wall cordon built by the Qianyan Army without being stopped, which caused some people to talk about it, but most people still held a curious mentality of wondering what the little prodigy was doing here.

Su Ping raised his head slightly, looked at Xu Xun who had stopped in front of him, and asked, "Uncle Xu, what do you need me to do?"

They talked quite a bit along the way. Seeing that the man was about the same age as his father, Su Ping called him uncle. After all, he couldn't just call him by his first name.

Xu Xun soothed him, "I asked you to come here mainly because you are involved in all the recent cases, so I want you to take a look at the scene and recall it carefully. Do you have any recommended suspects?"

"You need solid evidence, right?" Su Ping asked without hesitation.

Xu Xun's eyes flashed, and then he said calmly: "Of course evidence is needed. Even with the protection of the General Affairs Department and Qianyan Army, we can't frame someone with empty words.

Or if you can find evidence, Su Ping, then you can tell me what you want."

Su Ping understood the meaning of his words and did not mention it again. He turned to look at the crying man and remained silent.

The man, whose parents have passed away and is left with only his sister, failed to protect his sister. This was a severe trampling and heavy blow to his heart and ability.

Therefore, this man who could have stood up straight and supported his family, now shrunk his neck and bent his back, feeling sorry for himself and hating his own incompetence.

Thinking about the cause of death on the autopsy report again, the woman should not have died immediately, and should have survived for about half an hour, so she could have been rescued. Could this be one of the reasons for the man's pain?

Xu Xun gave an answer at the right time, "If he had been to Liyue Harbor, or had a little more perseverance in life, and had taken him to hospital for emergency treatment immediately, the deceased would still have a chance of survival.

It's just... Alas! Even if we came here because of your report, he had no intention of reporting to the General Affairs Department, and he almost broke the opportunity for the truth to come out! "

Su Ping was confused again. He suddenly felt that the village where he had lived for twelve years was indeed shrouded in a layer of mystery, as if he had never understood it.

"why is that?"

"He felt that since he just glimpsed a figure, there was no way to file a case, so he wanted to bury the deceased directly and let him rest in peace. It was only after we explained it to him that he understood..." Xu Xun said, looking at the man with sympathy and sighing.

Su Ping was speechless. The three things seemed ridiculous, and even in his opinion, they shouldn't have happened like this, but they actually happened.

Why is this? Su Ping asked himself.

Seeing that he was silent, Xu Xun did not disturb him, and the two of them just stood there quietly.

After a while, Su Ping figured it out, because there was mud under his feet instead of large stone slabs, because there were crops planted around him instead of ornamental flowers and plants, and because the houses were at most two-story wooden houses instead of high-rise buildings and busy traffic.

When it comes down to it, it all comes down to two words: "difference".

The differences in economy, knowledge, and common sense are just like the people in their village who have to wipe off the mud on the soles of their shoes before entering the city, for fear of dirtying the stone pavement in the city that is trampled upon by everyone.

Su Ping sighed and looked at the man again. His eyes had changed. It seemed that he was not looking at the brother whose sister had died, but a lonely boy.

The young man was living under someone else's roof and had no idea how big the world was. He also had no idea of ​​the fundamental reason why things always fell down. He even thought it was incredible that people could ride on a flying "big bird" and fly to various places. He thought they were gods.

That young man was Su Ping, who had never left the mountains. If he had encountered the same situation as the man today at that time, he would probably have acted in the same way and gotten the same result.

There were fewer doubts in his heart, but more heaviness, which made it hard for him to breathe, and his spine, which had hardly bent before, seemed to have lowered a little.

"Actually, we are all the same..." Su Ping muttered to himself, "But we are also different..."

They both came from a poor background, but the difference was that he had seen mountains and seas and had experienced life in two lifetimes.

What Su Ping didn't think about was that the woman thought of reporting the case before she died, perhaps because she was influenced by his angry scolding during that incident.
