Chang Wen asked: "Aunt Wang, is the boatman sick?"
"He didn't look like he was sick, but he seemed to have something on his mind. I saw that he had been frowning and gloomy for the past two days."
Chang Wen asked, "Aunt Wang, have you ever talked to the boatman?"
Aunt Wang replied, "I asked the boatman, why can't you have a meal? Is my meal not good for you? The boatman gave a wry smile and said, "elder sister, your cooking is very good, but I've been upset recently."
"Aunt Wang, do you think the boatman is upset?"
"No, I asked a boatman. The boatman said that our boss is in good health. When he was on the boat, he had to eat a kilo of rice every meal, which was more than our young lads."
Obviously, the boatman must have an idea, which is Caixia.
Does the boatman know Caixia?
Aunt Wang also chatted with the boatman, but the boatman often nodded or shook her head, unwilling to say more.
Chang Wen didn't get any valuable information from Aunt Wang. However, considering all kinds of factors, there is a certain relationship between the shipowner and the dead Caixia.
What's the relationship between them?
Chang Wen came to Shijia village for more than a week and got nothing.
Caixia's body was not found; The cause of Caixia's death has not been found out; The two ghosts never showed up, not even a trace.
Chang Wen felt at a loss, so he called Wang Xiaoman.
Wang Xiaoman asked with concern: "little brother, are you ok? How's the investigation going? "
"Sister Wang, don't mention it. It can be said that I have no clue. I almost lost my life and almost fell into a trap."
Chang Wen puts the old boatman into a sack and sinks him into the river. He almost falls into a trap and is told that the hostess of the restaurant has fallen asleep.
Wang Xiaoman worried and said: "little brother, I have already said that you are going to be more or less dangerous. I think you'd better stop and come back."
"Sister Wang, you know my temper. Since I've made a military order, I won't take my troops back to the court until I find out."
"Little brother, you should put personal safety first. In those remote places, many people don't have the concept of legal system. Murders and pirated goods happen from time to time. Don't let this kind of bad luck happen."
"Sister Wang, you can rest assured that if there are four investigators to protect me, it will be safe and sound, but now I am at a loss and feel that I can't start."
"Little brother, I think: you should do the investigation more carefully and don't rush for success."
"Sister Wang, I'm calling you today just to hear your advice."
"Little brother, Shi Xiaogu has been married three times. His first two wives must know the situation of the Shi family like the back of their hands. You might as well go to know about it. In addition, Caixia's mother's family also has to go. I think: if you want to solve this case, you have to take out embroidery skills."
"Sister Wang, you're right. I'm a little eager for success. If I want to be quick, I can't. I'll follow your path and do the investigation more carefully."
"Little brother, I hope to hear your good news, and I hope you can come back as soon as possible."
"Sister Wang, there will be a day."
Chang Wen hung up Wang Xiaoman's phone, he immediately went to find Shi Xiaogu, asked: "uncle, I think: this case of haunted, maybe with your first two wives, I want to check, please give a detailed description of the first two wives."
Shi Xiaogu sighed and said, "my first wife is silly girl. She lives in zhoujiatunzi fifty miles away..."
Shi Xiaogu told Chang Wen the addresses of the first two wives' families. He sighed and said, "the first two wives didn't have children. My father thinks that they are old hens who can't lay eggs. They should get divorced quickly. Otherwise, we'll cut off the fireworks in Shi's family. I listened to my father's advice and divorced them in the fourth year of marriage. In fact, I still have feelings with them, but nothing is more important. "
Chang Wen asked: "uncle, did you go to the hospital to have a physical examination?"
Shi Xiaogu shook his head and explained: "when the second wife was not pregnant, someone also advised me to go to the hospital to have a physical examination, but my father said that our men have been in good health for generations, and there can be no problem, so I didn't go to have a physical examination."
"Uncle, I suggest: you'd better have a physical examination."
"Let's talk about it later. Recently, Caixia has just died. People in the village have been talking about it. They all say that my wife, who is willing to marry me at this time?"
"Uncle, everything is a gust of wind. If it blows, it will be all right. Maybe after a year and a half, these discussions will disappear."
Shi Xiaogu sighed and said, "let's talk about it then."
Early the next morning, Chang Wen and Zhang Guihua went to zhoujiatunzi to find Shi Xiaogu's first wife, silly girl, to find out.
From shijiacun to zhoujiatunzi, there are all paths, only walking.
Chang Wen and Zhang Guihua walked for most of the day, and finally arrived at zhoujiatunzi at more than four o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhoujiatunzi is a big village with more than 100 families.
Under the big tree at Tuen Tzu Kou, there are several old ladies sitting, chatting and chatting while taking in the soles of their shoes.
Zhang Guihua went over and asked one of them: "excuse me: where does silly girl live?"
The old lady asked back, "who are you from? What are you looking for? "
"I'm from the village of silly girl's mother-in-law. I used to be good friends with silly girl. I've come to see her."
The old lady sighed and said, "silly girl works in a restaurant in the town. She only comes back once a week. This woman is so pitiful. She is divorced by her mother-in-law's family. When she comes back to her mother's home, her brother and sister-in-law don't like to see her. They don't even let her in. When people in the village see him pitifully, they help her build a shelter, just like a beggar. Silly girl doesn't have any land in the village. Eating and drinking are all problems. When the village head sees her pitiful, he finds her a job in a restaurant in the town. "
"How far is the town from here?" asked Zhang Guihua
"It's not far. It's only four li away. If you want to find a silly girl, hurry to the town. It's getting dark. Go faster. There's a hotel in the town."
Chang Wen and Zhang Guihua went to a small town under the guidance of the old lady.
This small town is not big. However, it is close to a small river. There is a wharf by the river. Many boats pass by here. The boat union goes ashore to buy something. Therefore, people come and go.
There's only one hotel in town. It's a quadrangle.
The owner of the hotel was a little old man with a gloomy face and asked, "do you have your ID card?"
Chang Wen and Zhang Guihua took out their ID cards and handed them to the little old man.
The little old man looked at his ID card carefully, looked up and down at Chang Wen and Zhang Guihua, and asked, "are you husband and wife?"
