"You stood high, saw him and heard his wailing, didn't you?"

Zhong Tianzheng stretched out his hand and said, "are you sure you didn't see anyone else in this process?"

"No one else."

Grandpa still shook his head with great certainty and denied it.

"All right."

Zhong Tian just nodded, but Chong Ah Xiang shrugged.

"Are you curious how I heard his voice?"

Grandpa seemed to see Zhong Tianzheng's doubts, so he took the initiative to say, "I tell you, in fact, I have felt it for a long time these days. Someone in our village is going to have an accident, but I don't know who it is."

"What do you say?"

Zhong Tianzheng talked to him.

"I'm not old. I can't sleep for a few hours all day. I fall asleep at 90 o'clock at night and can't sleep at three or four o'clock, so I always go out for a walk and go around the fields behind. Several times I see Lao Zhang walking in the distance, but I ask him not to return to me." Grandpa wrapped his cigarette, looked at Zhong Tianzheng, pretended to be deep and continued: "so ah, I guess it's not Lao Zhang's own body."

"Ah."

Zhong Tianzheng made a ha ha and frowned.

Grandpa, this is getting more and more ridiculous now.

The old man is getting older and more or less suspicious. It is estimated that according to his meaning, he saw the illusion of Lao Zhang walking outside.

That's bullshit.

Science heard him say that Zhong Tianzheng looked aside subconsciously.

"OK, let's go first and talk about it next time."

Zhong Tianzheng certainly didn't want to believe what he said. It didn't make any sense to go on, so he left directly.

Many friends in the countryside may know such a thing.

I must have seen it when I was young.

In the old-fashioned house of my grandparents, there must be a coffin upstairs, which they prepared for themselves. Even when I was a child playing hide and seek, some brave people would drill into it and hide, so that other children could not find you, because everyone dared not go.

They came out of Grandpa's house one by one and went to the open space outside.

Zhong Tianzheng also lit a cigarette for himself. By the way, he stroked what grandpa had just said and told Ah Xiang the general conversation between the two.

"Grandpa, this is feudal superstition."

Ah Xiang also disagrees with Grandpa's point of view: "he can't hear us talking to him clearly, let alone hear a voice from the next upstairs."

This kind of earthen house, the bricks are very thick and big, and the sound insulation effect must be unspeakable.

How could he hear the voice upstairs next door.

"Yes."

Zhong Tianzheng flicked the ash on his hand and turned his eyes to the row of old houses.

The house next to Grandpa's is the old house before Lao Zhang. Standing here, you can see the dry straw exposed upstairs. It should be used to store sundries.

The door of the house will be open.

It is estimated that after Zhang's death, Zhang Yifei sent someone here to move the coffin upstairs.

"Let's go to the scene again."

Zhong Tianzheng put out the cigarette end in his hand and led Ah Xiang to the back.

……

Hunan Province.

The southeast and West are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the middle and North are low and flat, forming a horseshoe basin opening to the north, accounting for about half of the total area of mountains in the territory.

Plains, basins, hills and water surface account for about half.

Zhong Tianzheng belongs to that kind of hilly area.

In Pengjia village, the houses built by each family are also built along the terrain.

Walking back more than ten meters from the residential area is the state of gradual rise of the terrain.

Large and small paddy fields are distributed high and low, similar to the terraces in your province, but they are not so neat.

Most of the rice here is only in the middle season, so in winter, the paddy field is basically dry. After the rice is harvested on site and the millet is beaten down, the remaining straw is bundled together and directly stacked together to form a haystack.

They used to walk on the main road leading to it.

In the field.

Everywhere is a piece of white, covering the surrounding area with a vast expanse of white.

"Here it is."

After walking about 15 meters up, Zhong Tianzheng came to a straw field according to the information given by the villagers.

In this place, there are many deep and shallow footprints in the snow. It should be that after old Zhang was found, everyone rushed to trample here.

"Hoo."

Zhong Tianzheng stretched out his hand to the palm and began to look at the haystack.

The height of the haystack is about 1.5 meters, and the snow covered on it is very uniform, indicating that no one has moved.

Next to the edge of the haystack, there is a very shallow place, which should be the place where Zhang fell to the ground at that time.

"How to survey the scene at this time?"

When Zhong Tian was looking at the scene, he didn't forget to look at Ah Xiang and began to test her: "Comrade Ah Xiang, please answer, how will you start?"

“……”

Ah Xiang immediately threw a deep white eye.

Field investigation is Ah Xiang's weakness, especially in this kind of snow. There are only a few times of snow in Shangnan City, and the snow is very shallow, let alone let her investigate the snow.

"Tell me!"

Zhong Tianzheng casually lit a cigarette again and began to look at the surrounding terrain.

This position.

The perspective is a little strange.

Looking directly from this position, the front is blocked by a house built next to the road in front. The house is in a semi completed state and should be empty. Only by turning 45 degrees to the right can the line of sight become broad.

In other words.

This place is very hidden. If you look at the village this way, you can't see the situation of this place at all.

Unless someone looks this way from the high place behind, they can see here, but no one will go to the high field above during the Chinese New Year.

Zhang always commits suicide.

How did he choose such a hidden place for himself?

Inadvertently?
