After dinner, Xiao Bing said that he wanted to go out for a walk. Du Xiaoyu originally advised Xiao Bing not to go out, lest he met the Zhang family and something unexpected happened. But Xiao Bing insisted on going out. She thought that Xiao Bing had been cooped up at home for several days. Although the village was really not big, it was not so easy to meet the Zhang family, so she did not persuade him.
They waited until it was very late, about two hours later. Seeing that Xiao Bing had not come back, Du Xiaoyu and her grandfather began to worry. The two were chatting together and ready to go out to look for him. But Xiao Bing came back from outside.
Seeing Xiao Bing coming in from outside, Du Xiaoyu, who was standing in the yard, breathed a sigh of relief. When she was about to speak, she saw that there was a young man behind Xiao Bing. He seemed to be of the same age as Xiao Bing, but he followed Xiao Bing in respectfully.
Xiao Bing looked at Du Xiaoyu and her grandfather and said with a smile, "Why are you standing here?"
Du Xiaoyu said, "I … I was going to find you. Who is this brother? "
"Oh, he is my friend. He specializes in criminal investigation. He is very experienced. Where is Du Chunsheng's grave? Take us to see it."
Du Xiaoyu said, "But … it is in the county cemetery."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. We can drive there. I just asked. It only takes more than 40 minutes from here to the county."
Du Xiaoyu was surprised and said, "Drive?"
"Yes, my friend drove here. Grandpa, you can come with us. "
Du Xiaoyu's grandfather answered blankly. They walked out of the yard, but saw nothing outside. Du Xiaoyu asked curiously, "Brother Xiao, where is the car?"
"We are afraid of attracting too much attention, so we parked it in a secluded place outside the village. The current situation is that we can't let the Zhang family notice our movements, otherwise it will be inconvenient for us to solve the case. Let's go, lock the door and go out. "
"Okay, Brother Xiao."
Du Xiaoyu's house was a very dilapidated bungalow with a wooden door on the outside and a bumpy dirt road outside the yard. There were more than two hundred families in the entire Du Family Village, which was equivalent to seven or eight hundred people. At this time, the sky was dark and the surroundings were pitch black. There wasn't even a streetlight, so they did not attract anyone's attention as they walked on the dirt road.
Du Xiaoyu was very curious about the man next to Xiao Bing. Although she did not know much about famous brands, she could tell that this man had an extraordinary temperament. His clothes and leather shoes should be expensive, and he was also wearing a gold watch on his wrist. What she was most curious about was who Xiao Bing was. They said that they were friends, but why was this man so respectful to Xiao Bing?
The man followed Xiao Bing and said in a low voice, "Chief Xiao, you just need to say the word and I will catch them and interrogate them directly. Why is it so troublesome?"
Xiao Bing said lightly, "I just want to be more down to earth this time. Can't I?"
"No, I dare not." The man quickly smiled apologetically and said, "Chief Xiao asked me to come here to listen to your orders. I will definitely follow your lead. What's more, I used to be your hardcore fan. Really, I have always admired you."
Xiao Bing said with a smile, "Well, let's take a photo later."
The man's eyes lit up. Sure enough, he looked like a fan who had seen his idol.
Xiao Bing asked, "Does anyone know that you came here?"
"Chief Xiao said that no one else can know about this."
"Okay, remember to keep it a secret."
After Xiao Bing whispered to him in private, they left the village and then found a black car in the grass. The man opened the door and said, "Chief Xiao …"
Xiao Bing coughed and said, "Just call me by my name."
"Ah?" The man was shocked, "How can I do that?"
"Then call me Brother Bing."
"Oh, that's fine. Brother Bing, come in quickly."
"Okay." Xiao Bing sat directly in the passenger seat and then said to Du Xiaoyu and Grandpa, "Grandpa, Xiaoyu, you sit in the back row."
"Okay!" Du Xiaoyu looked at the car curiously. Although she didn't know the brand of the car, she could tell that it must be very valuable. She couldn't help but touch the body of the car. Then, she opened the door and let her grandfather get in first. Only then did she get in.
"Wow, where are the leather seats?" Du Xiaoyu asked, "Is this car very expensive?"
"Not expensive, more than 700,000 yuan." The man said casually.
Du Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "More than 700,000 yuan? That's more expensive than the Zhang family's car. Are all the criminal investigators so rich? "
The man coughed twice and said, "Well … not all of us are rich. Maybe the treatment and salary in our department are better."
Xiao Bing had reminded him before not to reveal his true identity, so he could not say too much.
Xiao Bing said in time, "Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Du Xiaoyu, and this is Grandpa Du."
The man hurriedly greeted them. As long as it was someone related to Xiao Bing, he did not dare to neglect them.
Xiao Bing said, "This is my friend, who works in criminal investigation. Her name is Mount Good."
Du Xiaoyu said, "Brother Zhan."
"Don't … You are Brother Bing's friends. Just call me Little Zhan."
Xiao Bing wanted to keep a low profile. Seeing that Mount Good was always very respectful to him, he could not help but roll his eyes and said, "My friend's character is like this. He is relatively polite. You will get used to it."
Du Xiaoyu was not a silly girl. She was actually very smart. She immediately realized that this Brother Zhan was not being polite at all. It was clear that he had a kind of reverence for Brother Xiao Bing from the bottom of his heart. But now she also saw that Brother Xiao Bing's identity must be very great, and he did not want her to know, so she did not point it out. She also had a lot of confidence in Xiao Bing. Maybe Xiao Bing really had the hope to tie them up and get out of the current desperate situation?
The car drove out. Du Xiaoyu was very excited at first sitting in the back. She had never taken such a good car, and she had never even taken a private car. But soon she calmed down and asked, "Brother Xiao, why are we going to Grandpa Du Chunsheng?"
"Of course, to open the coffin and examine the corpse."
"Ah?" Du Xiaoyu opened her mouth wide.
At this time, Du Xiaoyu's grandfather also looked shocked and angry and said, "Nonsense! How can this work? This can't work. The dead should be respected and buried in peace. Don't you young people even understand this? Even the dead have to be disturbed. This is retribution! "
Xiao Bing shook his head and said, "Grandpa, if we don't find a way to investigate it, it is called disrespect for the dead. As long as there is a slight possibility that they were killed, we should find out clearly, so that their souls in heaven can rest in peace."
"But they are dead people. I have never heard of digging up the graves of the dead. How immoral it is."
Xiao Bing looked at Du Xiaoyu's grandfather who was out of breath and said with a wry smile, "Grandpa, I know what you are thinking in your heart."
Du Xiaoyu hurriedly patted her grandfather on the back. While patting, she said, "Brother Xiao, this matter is indeed a little inappropriate. Not to mention whether it is immoral or not, if we do this kind of thing in private and the Zhang family knows it, they will sue us. I am afraid we will be punished by the law."
The War Pet, who was driving, said disapprovingly, "Miss, I am a criminal investigator. I have this right. No matter what the final result is, he can't sue us."
"That won't work!" Du Xiaoyu's grandfather said angrily, "That old man Du Chunsheng was a good man all his life. When he died, it was unclear. Now that he is dead, he should be buried in peace. What's more, he has been dead for so many years. Aren't you disturbing his peace by doing this kind of thing?"
Xiao Bing sighed and said, "Grandpa, since you know that his death is unclear, you should know that only by investigating his death, he can be at peace in the underworld. What's more, if he was really killed, then it's very likely that his daughter was also killed. Grandpa, let me ask you, if your granddaughter was killed, what would your greatest wish be? "
"Of course it is revenge." Grandpa said exasperatedly, "If anyone kills my granddaughter, I will not let him go even if I become a ghost."
"Then if one day you are gone, is your biggest wish that one day someone can help you investigate it and give justice to your granddaughter?"
Grandpa nodded and sighed. "I understand. You're right … Forget it. I know I'm an antique and old-fashioned man. I won't stop you. Maybe what you young people are doing is reasonable."
Du Xiaoyu said with a smile, "Grandpa, you are very wise this time. Brother Xiao is indeed reasonable. He is not only doing this for us, but also to let a good man like Grandpa Du Chunsheng rest in peace in the underworld!"
Grandpa sighed and said, "Although everyone says so, I still hope that Big Brother Du Chunsheng was not killed by someone. He is really a good person. He once helped me, alas!"
The car slowly drove to the cemetery and finally stopped outside. When they got off the car and walked in, there was no one watching outside, so they directly swaggered in.
There were many cemeteries inside. Xiao Bing randomly found a shovel at the door and then asked, "Grandpa, do you know where it is?"
"I remember. Because he did me a favor, I come here every year to pay my respects. Come with me."
So they all followed Grandpa Du to the cemetery. One tombstone after another was erected here. Because it was night, it was dark, giving people a gloomy feeling. Du Xiaoyu involuntarily pulled Xiao Bing's arm and shrank her neck.
