Mysterious country

Chapter 56 Investigation



It took almost an afternoon for Xia Qi and Lengyue to visit the entire Hulu Village and become familiar with every villager.

But strictly speaking, this familiarity has almost nothing to do with Xia Qi. To put it bluntly, it depends on Leng Yue's incredible good looks and his gentlemanly and elegant conversation.

In Xia Qi's words, a cold bitch would just spit phlegm all over the floor, and just urinate everywhere.

The first thing people in the village said when they saw Leng Yue, regardless of gender or age, was that Xiao Ni was so handsome. Everyone was full of praise for his "beauty" and his elegant temperament, so much so that his own appearance and temperament were completely ignored and turned into nothing.

"Xiao Ni is quite handsome. Yueyue, why are you so beautiful? Come and make me smile."

Along the way to Mr. Chen's house, Xia Qi kept teasing Leng Yue sourly, but Leng Yue ignored him at all and didn't even bother to look at him.

"Hey, why are you so boring? Don't let me tell you whether talk shows are good or not."

Seeing that Leng Yue couldn't listen to these useless words, Xia Tian Qi rolled his eyes and changed the topic again:

"This afternoon is not in vain. At least I learned some people and things in this village, which will be convenient for our subsequent investigation."

After listening to Xia Qi's talk about the incident, Leng Yue finally spoke:

"If we go back now, will we have to wait until tomorrow to find those people we inquired about this afternoon?"

"Hey, my dear Yueyue, are you finally willing to speak? Come here Xiao Nier and give me a smile. I will tell you after you smile."

"I think it's time to dissolve the agreement we reached before."

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore, let's get serious."

Xia Tianqi didn't want to lose Leng Yue as his bodyguard, so he got back to the topic:

"Let's go back to Mr. Chen's place first to see how his silly son is doing, and then go out to find those people to understand the situation. We definitely won't be able to wait until tomorrow. After all, our time is limited, and we have to talk to that woman now. The ghost is racing against time, otherwise we will be finished when it starts killing."

In the afternoon, they visited door to door as ZF staff. The reason for the visit was that the authorities wanted to increase the construction of Hulucun Village by providing electricity, roads, and trains, so they were sent to investigate first. Listen to the needs of the villagers.

Hearing that they were here to invest in construction, the villagers were very enthusiastic in welcoming them. Therefore, most of their inquiries were answered without hesitation. It was rare that they were unwilling to pay attention to them, or they were secretive and did not want to answer.

Putting aside the construction requirements put forward by the villagers, just talking about what they learned, the situation in Hulu Village is very complicated.

First of all, there is a single family in Hulu Village. This family is Mr. Chen’s family, and this is where they live now.

Mr. Chen spent many years outside when he was young and did not come back until he was almost middle-aged. Not long after that, he took over the position of village chief and began to carry out "monopoly reform."

First, the land and fishing boats from the villagers were purchased at a seemingly higher price, and then they were subleased back at a higher price and returned to the villagers for use.

Those who did not agree were naturally forced by Mr. Chen to deliberately cause trouble. Therefore, within a short time, some of the "hard-core households" also compromised. Over the past few decades, they have become accustomed to this rent-to-work lifestyle.

However, in recent years, it may be that Mr. Chen is getting older, or he wants to leave something good for his silly son, so the rental prices of both land and fishing boats have become very low. There is no doubt that his This approach also changed the villagers' image of him as a "bandit" in the past.

When he heard that Boss Chen was so awesome in Hulu Village, Xia Qi was also secretly surprised. He didn't expect that the black old man was actually a ruthless person.

But what concerned him the most was the fact that Boss Chen told Chen Cong about his wife.

Chen Cong is already in his 20s this year. According to the custom of Hulu Village, men usually get married when they are 20 years old, while girls get married earlier. According to what the villagers said, Mr. Chen didn't want to find a wife for Chen Cong, but due to the pressure from his wife, he was noisy and noisy every day, so he started asking matchmakers everywhere in the hope of finding a daughter-in-law in the village.

But what kind of person Chen Cong is, everyone who lives in their village knows it. When adults talk about children, they will take Chen Cong as an example, saying that they should not be like that fool Chen Cong, who can’t speak and can’t speak. Sensible.

All in all, Chen Cong is equivalent to a negative teaching material in the village, the object of ridicule by the villagers, and the only balance point between them and Boss Chen and his family.

It was precisely because the villagers knew everything about his stupid son that no villager was willing to marry his daughter to him. Even if there were villagers with other intentions who were willing, their daughters would not agree even if they killed him.

Although Boss Chen is old, he is not confused at all, so he can naturally understand what the villagers mean. At the beginning of the period, the villagers were very worried, fearing that Mr. Chen would be eager to find a daughter-in-law and would resort to coercion and inducement to marry him as he did in the past. However, to their surprise, Mr. Chen gave up asking for matchmaking in the village.

Not long after, he married Chen Cong a wife from outside the village.

Because Mr. Chen, the daughter-in-law, rarely sees her coming out, few people have had contact with her. They only know her as Xiaoli. She was married in from outside, and she is quite good-looking.

As for why she married to this remote Hulu Village, why she married a fool, and even why she committed suicide, the villagers did not agree on these key clues.

Some people say that Xiaoli was sold to Hulu Village, others say that Boss Chen picked her up, and some even say that Xiaoli is actually a fool.

However, the villagers agreed that Chen Cong's family was not kind to Xiaoli, because when passing by his house, one could always hear a woman crying, as well as Chen Cong's silly laughter and curses.

It can be seen that Chen Cong still has the habit of hitting Xiaoli, and it is not an occasional act.

In addition, he heard many villagers mention that Boss Chen had an affair with Xiaoli, and that he always quarreled with his wife because of Xiaoli, so he was quite protective of Xiaoli.

This afternoon, there was only so much information that they felt was useful. Apart from that, it was just a few confidants who were usually close to Boss Chen.

They may know some secrets that outsiders don't know.
