Walking on the road without clearing the snow, Zhou Ze and the others walked very hard every step. When they came to Seven Villages this time, they didn't make much preparation. They walked in the snow that was about to reach their knees. They didn't wear boots, and the trousers of the shoes under their feet were already wet by the snow.

Zhou Ze's feet were frozen and numb, and they almost lost consciousness. They still walked hard. The gap between a group of people is widening.

Obviously it didn't take long, but I walked abruptly for more than an hour. Zhou Ze, who has such a good physical strength, was also panting from exhaustion: "Why don't we take a break first, I think everyone's shoes and pants are already wet, and going on like this is no way, let the legs relax first."

They jumped onto the steps of a house, which was slightly smoother. After kicking off the surrounding snow, they sat down directly regardless of the dampness of the ground. The group of people kept breathing heavily.

Zhou Ze thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Zhou Xiaoyu who was doing an autopsy at the police station in the town: "Xiaoyu, we need some help here. You ask Zhang Yan to buy some pants and some more pairs. Bring the boots here. The snow here is too thick. Our 28 shoes and pants have been soaked. If this continues, the body may collapse before the case is detected."

"Brother Zhou, there is a lot of snow in the town, and there may not necessarily be shops open. Moreover, even if you buy it, there will be ice and snow everywhere on the road. It’s very dangerous to just pass by. Why don’t you ask? Can other villagers lend it to you."

After a pause, Zhou Ze felt that Zhou Xiaoyu’s words made sense. He only thought of the people around him. He didn’t expect that the road from the town to Qicun was also very dangerous: "I didn’t think about it well. You don’t have to talk to Zhang Yan anymore. Speaking of this, I will ask the village chief later... By the way, is there an update on the autopsy?"

"Yes, actually I just wanted to call you." Zhou Xiaoyu said: "We have checked out that the cause of death of the deceased Qian Jianji was pesticide poisoning, and the name of the pesticide is Wanwuku. This pesticide is very toxic. Unless it is a serious insect disaster, under normal circumstances, no villagers would choose to use this pesticide to kill insects."

"I previously asked experts in this area. They said that when this medicine was first launched, it damaged a lot of crops. Therefore, this medicine has been discontinued and is rarely seen in the market. Brother Zhou, I think you can use this Start with a pesticide."

"Okay, I see." Zhou Ze said: "Have you checked it out, when did the deceased die?"

"According to my inference, the deceased should have died two days ago."

"Two days ago?" Zhou Ze was a little surprised. According to the current time, the deceased was from Qicun who left three days ago and went to the town. If he died two days ago, there is still one day left, Qian Jianjidu What are you doing? Who did Qian Jianji stay with during that day?

Zhou Ze guessed that no matter who that person is, first of all, it must be someone Qian Jianji trusts.

He still remembered that although it had started to snow three days ago, it was not very snowy at that time, and there was not a lot of snow on the ground. If Qian Jianji wants to go back to Seven Villages, he can definitely come back.

He must have been delayed by something, or by someone else. In any case, they are the people around Qian Jianji.

After resting for more than ten minutes, their legs and feet eased a little, so they continued to the home of Old Man Li in the neighboring village.

Twenty minutes later, the group of them finally came to Old Man Li's house. It was a middle-aged woman who opened the door for Zhou Ze. Seeing them all standing at the door, she was a little surprised: "Comrade police, who are you looking for?"

"Is old man Li at home?" Zhou Ze said: "Let's come to old man Li to get some information."

After a pause, the woman sighed, "Is it because of Qian Jianji's death? Yesterday I heard about it, and I knew that there would be a policeman coming...you come in, oops, this heavy snowfall. Oh my god, you guys are walking here on foot. These shoes and pants are all wet. Are they cold? Go to the fire and warm yourself up."

This woman should be the wife of Old Man Li. She guessed the purpose of their coming. Not only was she not afraid, but she was also very enthusiastic towards them. Is this self-confidence?

Old man Li’s wife worried for them, and went back to the house to find a few stalls for them: "You should change your wet clothes, but our family is a man, Li Man, there is really not much clothes, and the size is not suitable. , I'd better take a few stalls and cover it for you to keep warm."

Zhou Ze was warm in his heart, and he had a good impression of Old Man Li’s wife in front of him.

"Auntie, is old man Li at home?"

"Of course at home, I'll call him for you..."

"Who's here?" Old man Li's voice came before his wife called. He has a loud voice, a harsh tone, and sounds bad-tempered.

Soon, Old Man Li appeared in front of them: "I guessed it was your group of policemen who came. I tell you, I have nothing to do with Qian Jianji’s death. You can’t ask anything, hurry up. Let's go."

"Huh." Old man Li's wife hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Comrade policeman just came to understand the situation and didn't think about what to do. Don't speak so aggressively. If you offend the police, what good can we do?"

Old man Li snorted coldly: "I knew Qian Jianji was dead. I must have been pushing a bunch of people on my head. I was just not angry. Qian Jianji died well, within seconds. If you find the murderer, I will definitely go and thank him for avenging me!"

"Okay, stop talking!" Old man Li's wife looked anxious: "In front of the police, can you die if you talk less?"

Zhou Ze took a closer look at Old Man Li. Before he came, Zhou Ze thought that Old Man Li was not too young, but at the moment, he is about the same age as Qian Jianji, and his hair is still black and dense.

Zhou Ze couldn't help asking: "I think you are very young, why do other people call you old man Li?"

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Old Man Li said, "Because of my name, I am called Old Man Li."

Zhou Ze choked, he was a little embarrassed. Although the name was given by his parents, Zhou Ze still couldn't understand such a name.

He thought that Old Man Li was at best a nickname, but he knew it was his real name.

Old man Li's wife sighed and pulled Old Man Li to sit down. When Old Man Li moved his steps forward, Zhou Ze clearly saw that his legs and feet were indeed not good, and he walked two steps with jolts.

As soon as he sat down, Old Man Li couldn't help but said, "Comrade police, I know you may hear more than one person saying that I have an enemy with Qian Jianji. What they said is correct. I do have an enemy with him. His legs are evidence!".
