Chumei village.
Gao Cheng stopped in front of the village head's house.
He had already run around. No matter the village head or the ordinary villagers, all of them denied the existence of the person in charge of the department store, and even did not admit that they had seen the female lodgers in the crane room of the hotel.
The owner of the hotel also insisted that the female tenant had checked out very early and the identity was unknown.
However, it seems that due to the short time, not all the villagers have unified their views. Only the village cadres and a group of people who promote the planning of specialty liquor are in complete agreement.
Obviously the people who were in charge of reception yesterday.
Last night, there was a banquet for the "person in charge" at the village head's house.
It's based on the smell of liquor on the woman when she comes back to the hotel from outside at about 8 p.m. and the light of the village head's house at night. He watched TV when he came back from the bar last night, and the light of the village head's house was on at about 10 o'clock before he went to bed.
It's not supposed to last that long. After all, the main characters have left.
If you think so, maybe it's the second party, and the woman goes to the village head's house for some reason.
Gao Cheng slightly squints his eyes and returns to the hotel under the villagers' vague attention.
If he is right, the woman is not simply missing, she may have been killed.
If it's a motive, maybe it's a woman posing as the person in charge of a department store
The village is not very big, but it is not easy to find the whereabouts of women, especially when the whole village is full of prisoners.
Gao Cheng stands by the balcony to check.
Ordinary villagers should not be able to hide the body, but the village head's family is suspicious, but these people will certainly not let the body stay there.
The best place to deal with bodies
The pond in front of the village catches Gao Cheng's eye.
After all, it's just a village in the countryside. The easiest way to deal with a corpse is to sink into a pond.
If he wasn't here, there would be no problem at all, and even if the police tracked him down, they wouldn't think too much about it.
After all, the traces of the victims have been erased.
……
"What? Nagano County police
"Yes, it's over the pond now!"
At the village office, several cadres ran out of the village in panic and saw several police cars by the pond, leaving a blank in their mind.
Police have found the abnormality and quickly brought the body wrapped in black plastic bags to shore.
"Coming up!"
"It's a woman!"
The old cadres on the shore were shaking their hands and feet. They seemed to have been taken away and turned pale.
I don't know what happened at all. The owner of the hotel said that the detective was going back to Tokyo. At this time, the police came to salvage the body.
Why?
Why did the police come?
Why did you know the body was in the pond?
No... who called the police?!
At the village head's house, Gao Cheng finds the old man again.
The old man respected by the villagers really has a unique charisma of leadership. At this time, Rao Shi still can't see much change on his face. He just closes his eyes and looks very tired.
"When I heard about a famous detective, I felt that I couldn't hide it," the old man said plainly. "I know you, the ghost detective who solved the case 100 percent, but I didn't expect that it would end so soon... What's the problem?"
"All the villagers, including the village cadres, are very nervous and want to protect something from their heart," Gao Cheng and the old man sat down under the eaves. "Only the old man in this village is worthy of being treated like this, aren't you?"
"That's right."
The old man sighed, took the bottle and poured two glasses.
"In the end, I'm going to make trouble for everyone. I'm going to kill someone. I'm going to end up with a rope myself... Have a drink. It's made in the village. It's ten years old."
"I don't drink." Gao Cheng didn't take the glass.
"Oh, I almost forgot your age."
Suddenly, the old man didn't ask any more. He drank wine alone and looked at the familiar village in front of him.
"It's my idea to cooperate with the department stores in Tokyo. We've pooled money and invested 15 million yuan... If we can't get the money back, we can't get it back, but the village can't bear the charge of bribery, so I pulled out the sword and I killed the people."
Gao Cheng glanced at the old man who confessed his crime: "Tokyo's giving money to private enterprises is not a bribe. There is no saying of bribery. You can sue the other party completely. There is a great chance of getting the money back."
The old man was stunned. After a while, he shook his head like a few years old.
"Well, that's fate, isn't it? That woman is right. 15 million is useless. It's impossible for department stores to cooperate with us. "
"It's too early to say that. I'm afraid there's no market for such a good wine?"
Gao Cheng knew it was a good wine just by smelling the fragrance. He also tasted the sweet wine from the village yesterday, and there was no problem signing a contract with the department store“ There is a saying that wine is not afraid of deep alley“ I wish I had met you earlier. " The old man was disappointed“ If the villagers... Would they be guilty, too? "“ There should be some, "Gao Cheng met the old man's concerned eyes," there are still hidden corpses... "" no, they want to help me too much... Can you help them? People in the village can't do anything. In exchange, I'll turn myself in and plead guilty. Please The old man asked anxiously“ I just informed the police to go to the pond to salvage the body, "Gao Cheng saw a police officer from Nagano County, got up and said," if the villagers can use the unity to help you in the right place, sooner or later the village will be able to revive. " It's not surprising that this kind of small mountain village will decline with the blood sucking in Tokyo. Few young people are seen, but it doesn't mean that the village has no hope“ Is that right? " The old man breathed a sigh of relief, and finally showed a smile on his old face, watching Gao Cheng join the police“ I hope there will be a day when the village will get better. "“ Mr. hall The old winemaker came in a hurry and choked with excitement, "news from Tokyo, the contract is set up!"“ What? "“ It's said that a big man asked us about our reputation. We made it The old man was not too excited. He nodded to the winemaker and said, "it's hard. Go and tell everyone." It's ironic. I should have believed in my own wine. At noon, the incident in chumeicun came to an end as the village head got on the police car and left the village. Gao Cheng also started his return journey and drove back to Tokyo. According to the police investigation, the scene of the crime is indeed the village head's home, and the murder weapon is a Japanese knife. It was almost the same time that when he came back to his room from the bar, Fumiko, who was found to be fake, went to the village head's house for the second time after receiving the phone call. The light he saw was also the last light of his life. Open the light screen of the system. After the settlement is successful, a new card has been drawn. It's the wine card.
