Bionic Era

Chapter 154 Nightfall

"So, after the house was repaired, he still had a marriage, but it wasn't registered?"

"According to the villagers, this is the case, but..."

"Just what?"

"That relationship didn't last long. After giving birth, the woman left and never came back."

Lu Wen frowned.

There seemed to be an urgent voice in his heart, urging him.

Tell him it's not the truth, there must be something else wrong.

unusual.

"Did the deceased never go out to look for work after that?"

"According to the villagers, yes."

Very abnormal.

The money he earned in those three years, let him use it now?

When most of the manual labor has been replaced by bionics, what does a person without a primary school diploma do to earn so much money?

Lu Wen also knew.

There was a time when opportunities abounded.

If you are lucky and happen to stand on the tuyere, even a pig can blow up and become a millionaire pig.

But that era was not more than ten years ago.

More than ten years ago, despair began to spread at the bottom. Young people tried their best to learn their skills, but they could not see the hope of getting ahead. They drained their own blood and marrow, and used their youth to pave the way for the rich. getting richer.

Evidence is still being collected in the living room.

No executive officers have searched the bedrooms yet, and are understaffed, so take your time.

Lu Wen put on his gloves and searched the two bedrooms in a very short time.

And didn't get any leads.

The only suspicious thing is some contraceptive drugs.

"The production date is very close, and the drug was only released this year."

Lu Wen knew that many remote mountain villages had large and small folk remedies.

What kind of medicine can cure cancer and so on.

But the pill...

He felt he had to go and ask some of the villagers himself.

Get out of this bungalow.

Lu Wen first looked for the one closest to here.

It is also because it is recently, so this one has been asked the most, and it has opened several times tonight.

"Oh, why are you asking again? Didn't you just leave? Young man, aren't you from the same department?" The aunt who opened the door was full of complaints.

After all, it was past nine o'clock in the evening, close to ten o'clock.

It's time to rest at this point.

"Auntie, I just want to ask a few things."

Lu Wen smiled, took out a few hundred yuan bills from his pocket, and stuffed them into the aunt's hand.

The aunt's expression changed immediately.

Lu Wen was welcomed in with a smile on his face.

"How old is the young man? Are you looking for a girlfriend? My aunt is here to talk to you about marriage. If you don't have one, just tell me what you like, and I'll get it for you." The aunt's enthusiasm is a bit overwhelming.

The power of a few hundred dollars is beyond Lu Wen's imagination.

He still tried his best to bring the topic back on track.

"Auntie, are you familiar with the one who died today?"

"Of course I'm familiar with it. The kid from his family often comes to my house to play. In this village, they are more or less related, and everyone has the same surname."

"Then do you know where he worked after he went out more than ten years ago? He can get so much money in three years?"

"Oh, I don't know, I...I also heard from some young men who came back at the end of the year that...they definitely won't make that much money in three years."

Lu Wen saw that the aunt was hesitant, and then took out a few more banknotes from his pocket.

He didn't understand many things more than ten years ago.

There are too many materials, and it is impossible to accurately infer the relevant matters that are too specific in that era.

"Auntie, don't worry, we belong to the executive bureau, just say what you know."

The banknotes are obviously more useful than Lu Wen's dry language.

"They said, that... that... did bad things outside, and the money was stolen."

Aunt's voice was very low.

As he spoke, he took the money from Lu Wen.

"Twelve years ago, after a young man from the next door village came back, he told him at the New Year's Eve dinner that he saw that man begging for food in the city, so he was working part-time."

"How can you get so much money for food? That money must be unclean."

very important information.

As a result, none of the people in the executive bureau who investigated before asked out.

Lu Wen understood why Wei Bo'an said he was tired all day long.

The colleagues in the tenth district executive bureau are indeed a little unreliable.

Even if it is a little more reliable, it will not be the bottom of the comprehensive strength in all regions, and the backlog of various old cases is almost moldy.

"Begging for food... that is homeless, three years..."

Lu Wen lowered his eyes and thought for a long time.

Can't think of any results.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the young man in the next-door village was jealous of the victim and deliberately said that the victim would be begging on the street.

"After going back, look carefully for the cases that have not been solved in the past three years."

Lu Wen raised his head and looked at Auntie.

"Auntie, do you know any other news?"

"This this……"

The money progress bar is stuck.

Lu Wen had to take out a few banknotes again.

Fortunately, Mr. Yin Long left him a large inheritance. An ordinary public official would not be able to afford this.

Even if the money is paid, they will definitely have to ask the executive bureau for reimbursement after they go back.

"His house has been repaired for more than half a year, and then he has nothing to do all day. Let me find him a partner."

"did you find it?"

"Oh, don't mention it. In more than a year, I told him several partners, but none of them succeeded. I thought he was too lazy to do anything."

"So... he found one himself?"

Those medicines, and the idea that has been circling in Lu Wen's mind.

It's getting clearer.

The heavy night fell on this small village, as if it wanted to overwhelm some old events and expose the truth that had been buried long ago to the world.

"That little girl... I only saw her once, and I never saw her again after that."

"Has she never been out?"

"Who knows, it's just such a small one-story house. Who can bear it if I stay in it all the time and don't come out to move around? Or was it nine years ago, when I gave birth to a child, I only met once. The girl was born beautiful. Poor, very thin..."

Grandma's voice is getting lower and lower.

It seemed that every word was spoken with a lot of effort.

She spoke very cryptically.

In fact, not only she knows, but many people in this village know.

There must be something wrong with a young girl who has come to such a remote and poor mountain village and has not gone out.

But... they belong to the same village after all.

all know.

But did not say.

So, ten years have passed.

Possibly the best decade of a teenage girl.

A few minutes later.

Lu Wen walked out of the courtyard.

Those heavy words still weighed on his heart, as if the weight of this heavy night made him unable to lift his head.

Children are not cheated.

But the child's mother...

"What's wrong?"

Wei Boan looked at Lu Wen.

Lu Wen, who came back in the night, looked unhappy.

"try to find!"

He spat out the word lightly.

"Looking for what?"

"This one-story house should have a basement. If not, then search the entire village. There must be something in the cellar in the surrounding mountains."

Lu Wen looked at the rolling low mountains all around.

"Call everyone back. There is no need to visit and investigate. I will search all night tonight. I must find it!"

"That girl... that girl must still be alive!"

Ten years of time.

After having a baby, you're stuck somewhere in the dark.

It may not be as good as a beast.

Lu Wen clenched his fists tightly.

He felt as if something was burning in his chest.

That is a very special emotion, and it seems that I haven't felt it since I turned it on.

A real emotion that a machine shouldn't have.

anger.

...
