River Breeze Night Sparrow

Chapter 95 Marguerite Grier

Outside the window of the B&B inn, you can also see the vast and gray green mountains. In winter, the mountains are covered with a thick layer of gauze, which has lost a bit of vigor and vitality.

Inside the house, the heating and air-conditioning made people's faces blush and skin a little dry, but the few people discussing around the table had no time to care about it.

"Peng Wang has been transporting between Lushan County and Jingdong City in the past two years, from the beginning of the muck truck to express delivery and logistics. After May last year, because he felt that the pressure of industry competition was too great, it was nothing. Future, no longer continue to work. Afterwards, he worked in a souvenir shop near Ding'anguan in Jingdong City, selling at the counter, and helping to collect goods. One of the reasons why I want to go to fortune-telling. This souvenir shop also has a business in Luqi Ancient Town, and Peng Wang often delivers goods. The day I met Chen Ruyu happened to be the day he delivered goods. So there was a future .”

Ye Yuan, who had been circling around Zhou Mingxue for the past two days, went directly to Green Mountain to meet up with the main force. Hearing this, he nodded, indicating that he had kept up with the progress.

Jiang Yi's face was solemn, and said: "Now, what we want to find is his connection with Wang Ruyi."

A few days ago on New Year's Eve, an accidental homicide occurred in Jingdong City.In the process of the police investigating the identity of the victim, more doubts surfaced.

What is the purpose of these photos of the girls in the camera, are they really for the "Looking at Spring" project?So why did Peng Wang have that camera with the picture of the girl?And under the guidance of many evidences, Wang Ruyi's fall from the cliff may not be an accident, but was silenced after witnessing some crimes.

All of these seem to be somehow connected. Although the police have not grasped the link, the dawn seems to be approaching.

"During the two days when Wang Ruyi was in Lushan, we knew that Peng Wang's car also drove to Lushan through the high-speed through the monitoring and surveillance."

Lin Lin paused, and continued: "Wang Ruyi lived in this inn directly after she came to Green Mountain, so the place where they meet will not be too far from here. The time of contact is close, that is, around 1 pm on January 13."

Sun Xiaoqu nodded: "The cloud shows that she took the photo and uploaded it at 1:13 pm on January 3."

"It's a pity that Wang Pingan did not suspect the cause of Wang Ruyi's death and did not perform an autopsy. Now that Wang Ruyi has been cremated, more than half a month has passed, and the traces at the scene must have been destroyed. We can only try to find out now. .”

Jiang Yi didn't show much frustration.No matter how hard or small the job is, making progress requires action.

"Later, there will be police support from Lushan County. Lao Lin, Yuan Er, some comrades will take you to the place where Wang Ruyi's body was found. Wang Ruyi's body is likely to be dumped. A Jin will take us there later. The place in the photo is very likely to be the scene of the first crime. The monkey will go and see with me."

Ah Jin is the owner of this inn. He is a very simple country man, about 40 years old, with a row of teeth when he smiles.He said that his mental development was slow when he was a child, but he was lucky enough to run an inn because he was down-to-earth and willing to work.

Speaking of Wang Ruyi, Ah Jin was very impressed.

"She is tall, thin, wearing glasses, and carrying a camera. I thought she was a reporter! I also asked her to do more publicity for me. During the meal, I gave her an extra dish, but She has a small appetite, so I didn't ask for it. I told her that I was tired from going up the mountain, so I should eat more and brought her some biscuits."

He picked up a pack of kraft paper bags, took out a short biscuit from it, and said, "This is the biscuit! We made it at home and added flowers. It's delicious, and it's not sold anywhere else! Comrade policeman, I just made it today." A batch, I will pack a few bags for you, thank you for serving the people! Go back to the city and help us publicize it!"

Although Ah Jin said that he was stupid and honest, he became a businessman in the past half of his life, and he never forgot to talk about his own products with Sun Xiaoqu and Jiang Yi.But after Ah Jin said this, he seemed really stupid again.

Sun Xiaoqu smiled politely and declined Ah Jin's kindness.

Ajin was still very sorry when he mentioned Wang Ruyi's death. "She is a cultural person at first glance. She said that she was tired in the city and she wanted to return to nature and feel the breath and pulse of the mountains. He has won many awards. He seems to have lost his family before he got married. What a pity!"

Ajin sighed all the way, and finally stopped on a hillside.He pulled the handbrake and said: "The place in the photo is in front. But the car can't pass, you can only walk on the mountain road."

So Jiang Yi and Sun Xiaoqu got off Ah Jin's Changan Auchan SUV and followed Ah Jin into the woods.

"There are a few families living in it. They are all very poor. I have a primary school classmate, A Juan, who married here. She used to have good grades, but her family was poor and she married early. Her husband died early. , only her and a girl are left. She lives here far away, so there are few people walking around." He touched his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say that, although I'm an old classmate, I I haven't contacted her for a long time, but I heard that her life is really hard. Oh, by the way, her girl is quite up to date, and she will take the high school entrance examination soon, and she should be able to enter high school."

It’s nothing to say here that there are deep mountains and old forests. Even relatives probably don’t want to run here.With such a traffic jam, it is indeed even more difficult to improve our lives.Just listening to the three words "really bitter" in A Jin's mouth, one can feel the hardships of life.

"Ajuan's daughter? Is this the one in the photo?" Jiang Yi's nerves were very sharp.

A Jin rubbed the back of his head and said, "Comrade policeman, I haven't actually seen what that child looks like when he grows up." He looked at the photo again, frowned and said, "I can only say that the age should match .”

Jiang Yi and Sun Xiaoqu looked at each other and quickened their pace.

I saw a few detours, and arrived at a trestle bridge in Lufeng Mountain. The other end of the trestle bridge is the tourist mountain road, and the steps are polished wide and flat; while the other end is all narrow dirt roads, with a few pieces in the middle that look rather rough. For dangerous short rocks.

A Jin didn't change his face, turned slightly sideways, without putting his hands on the mountain, moved a few steps, and crossed a narrow road.Sun Xiaoqu's body is skinny, although it's not a problem to walk this narrow road, but he can't help feeling a little nervous.

He looked up and saw that Jiang Yi had already crossed in three steps and two steps, looked at the mountain road in front of him, thoughtfully, looked at A Jin and said: "Ten years ago, this road was even more difficult. "

A Jin nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Yes. Although there are few people living in the mountains, they used to go up the mountains to collect firewood and pigweed. Now most places have built stone steps, and it is still easy to walk. The road at that time was difficult. However, if it is difficult, you have to go, and you can only learn after going through dangerous mountains."

Jiang Yi nodded upon hearing this.

They walked for about three or four minutes, and saw that the mountain road gradually widened and reached a flat land halfway up the mountain.I saw an earthen house that looked empty, weakly put together, as if several sides of hard soil were loosely piled together, and it seemed that it could barely shelter from the wind and rain.There is still a fence around the outside, but it is all dead wood, useless.

"Ajuan's home is here." Ajin turned around and smiled at them flatteringly.

"Is anyone home? Ajuan! Ajuan!" He yelled a few times, only to hear some movement in the house, it should be someone.

Although Sun Xiaoqu is thin, she doesn't lose weight because she has nothing to eat.He knew that the economic level of Lushan County was not high, and poverty alleviation work had always been very difficult, but when he came to A Juan's house, he was still surprised by the cold poverty before him.

He was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether he should reach out to touch the crumbling fence, and sighed softly: "I never thought that there would be such a poor family in Jingdong now. Can this house be sheltered from the wind and rain..."

But the real world is like this, with unimaginable wealth and unbelievable poverty.

I saw Jiang Yi's expression was as usual, he just nodded with a frown, and approached the dilapidated earthen house.

There was only a creak, and a thin middle-aged woman popped her head.Her hair is a bit disheveled, with a few strands of obvious whiteness, her face is haggard, and only a pair of eyes are full of suffering but are still clear.

"You are……?"

"Ajuan, I'm Liu Yongjin, Ajin, your elementary school classmate, do you remember me? I came here even when you got married and had children." Ajin smiled honestly, and introduced sideways: "This The two are police officers from the city, passing by here to chat with you."

Seeing Ah Jin, Ah Juan seemed to think of him, but her eyes were still timid, she looked at the ID presented by Sun Xiaoqu, and let them enter the house sideways.

The furnishings in the house are very simple.Next to the wall was a bed with cold quilts, and beside it was a dilapidated small table with a few exercise books on it, and a brown paper bag next to it, which seemed to contain dry food.There were several clothes folded in the closet, which was empty.Going further in, the roof becomes shorter, and there is a small stove inside, and a few bowls are placed in the cupboard next to it.In the dustpan on the ground there were some vegetables recovered from the field, covered with mud.At the back door, some firewood can be seen vaguely piled up.

A Juan was a little embarrassed, and she didn't know where to put her hands and feet. "There is nothing at home to entertain the two comrades, let me go and pour some water for you!"

Sun Xiaoqu hurriedly said: "No need!" But Ajuan did not stop, but went to the cabinet next to the stove to get three bowls, poured some hot water from the paint-off tea bottle, and brought them to the table .

She looked around, was stunned for a few seconds, walked quickly to the back door, carried a long bench over, pulled a rag from one side and wiped it twice, with a humble smile in her smile: "Two comrades, there is no room in the house. There is no place to sit, and Xinfeng and I sit directly beside the bed. Sorry, sorry."

She wanted to go back and get a stool for Ah Jin, but Ah Jin quickly waved his hand and said, "I don't need it! Just rest!"

Only then did A Juan slowly sit by the bed and looked at Jiang Yi with fear and anxiety in her eyes.

This man was tall and seemed to be in charge. As soon as he entered the door, A Juan felt a sense of majesty and righteousness.He looked around the room, his eyes fell on A Juan, he nodded, and said: "Hello." A Juan shook her body and nodded.

"Is your daughter home?"

"Xinfeng has gone to school. It's cold at home, so let her go back to the school dormitory early."

"When did you go back?"

"Just the day before yesterday. She is about to take the high school entrance examination, and school started early."

"How is your daughter recently?"

"It's fine." She moved her body and said, "Everything is fine. Whether it's study or health."

"Have you met this person recently?"

Sun Xiaoqu showed A Juan Wang Ruyi's photo, A Juan looked at it twice and shook her head. "I haven't seen it. We are in the deep mountains and old forests, and tourists generally don't come here."

Sun Xiaoqu glanced back at Jiang Yi, then turned around and continued to ask, "Have you heard any noise nearby? For example, cries for help."

Ajuan shook her head. "without."

"Then has anyone been here recently? Whether you know it or not."

A Juan still just shook her head.

A Jin thought that A Juan was timid, and encouraged her: "These are noble people from the city. Speak well, don't be afraid!"

But Ajuan remained silent, as if she was a stone in the deep mountain, she didn't care about it, she seemed to be just waiting to fend for herself in the cold wind and rain.

Sun Xiaoqu frowned, and was about to show Ajuan the last photo taken by Wang Ruyi, but was stopped by Jiang Yi.

He looked at A Juan and said, "Actually, this time we are also here to condolences to the grassroots and investigate the poverty alleviation work in Green Mountain." He said seriously, glanced at A Jin, and said: "A Jin, help me Let me make an arrangement. It's so cold. I'll help take Ajuan down the mountain first, and stay in the inn for the time being, and just charge it to my account. I plan to report her situation and see if I can apply for some subsidies for her. In addition, I also plan to Give her a little personal help."

Ah Jin didn't expect his former classmate to live such a hard life, so he naturally felt that it was a good thing, so he hurriedly agreed.A Juan was still very hesitant, and A Jin quickly pulled her aside to persuade her.

Jiang Yi and Sun Xiaoqu got up and went out, and walked around the firewood shed in the small shed next to A Juan's house.

Sun Xiaoqu sighed: "There is still nothing to gain." He looked inside and asked in a low voice: "Captain Jiang, why didn't you show Ajuan the photo just now?"

Jiang Yi looked at the dilapidated and leaky firewood room, picked up a piece of firewood, and waved his hand twice, as if he was practicing the movement of drilling wood to make fire.

"Because I don't trust her."

"Ah? Team Jiang found something?" Sun Xiaoqu was a little surprised.

Jiang Yi didn't answer, but continued to fiddle with the wood in his hand, frowning: "Ah Juan looks a little sick?"

Sun Xiaoqu: "It's true that your physical strength is not very good."

Jiang Yi's eyes darkened a little, and he said, "After Ajuan comes down the mountain with us, I'll go to Lushan Junior High School to have a look. Take good care of her and talk to her more."

"What are you talking about?"

There was a wisp of green smoke from the wood in Jiang Yi's hand, and there was a soft crackling sound, but no flames were born because of the severe cold.Jiang Yi stared down, his stern peach eyes deepened.

"Let's talk about Wang Ruyi."
