I usually rarely stare at people, but now Li Huaishan really made me angry.
When I stared at him, my eyelids that had been falling for the past year were completely opened.
In the past, Li Huaishan was a completely obedient donkey who would take advantage of others but not others.
But now he and I looked at each other and shrank several times in a row without daring to say a word.
Seeing his look like this, I couldn't bear to let out all my anger.
I lowered my eyes and said to him: "We have already failed a case in Kunming, and I don't want to ruin the case at hand. " Li Huaishan just nodded silently.
I didn't say anything else.
I looked at the things on the altar table and found nothing unusual.
Then I left the living room and walked to a room on the west side.
When I saw the door on the west wall, I felt helpless again.
When I entered the house just now, I shouldn't have checked the altar first.
I should have checked in every room first.
After making sure there were no problems, I would then start investigating the details.
Too careless Hindsight, this is hindsight.
Fortunately, there must be no one in the house, otherwise, we still don't know what happened now.
I really hate this feeling.
There are some things that I can think of early in the morning, but because the string in my mind is not tight enough, I ignore things that shouldn't be ignored.
Just when I was upset, Li Huaishan suddenly said: "You looked like you were going to explode just now."
I turned my head and glanced at him: "What's going to explode?"
Li Huaishan let out a long breath: "When you glared at me just now, I felt like all the hair on your body was standing up.
Damn it, it was like a time bomb.
I was even afraid that I would be killed by you.
Exploded to death."
I frowned hard and pointed to the door on the south wall of the living room: "Don't talk nonsense, go check out the south house and pay attention, there might be someone hiding in it."
After saying that, I ignored Li Huaishan's reaction and quickly entered the West Room.
There were no windows in this room, so no sunlight could come in.
It was very dark.
I touched the wall twice before I found the light cord.
After turning on the light, I realized that it was an empty room with nothing.
Because the local dust is relatively heavy, Widow Wang has been away for so many days, and no one has taken care of the house.
There is a thin layer of dust accumulated in many places, but the floor of this house has been kept very clean, and there is almost nothing on the ground.
Reflective.
When I saw the wet clothes in the yard, I knew that someone had come back recently, but the question was, why didn't the other person clean up other places, not even the rotten fruits in the living room, but why did they clean up this seemingly empty room?
The house is so neat and tidy.
There must be something wrong here.
I guessed that this room might be like the kitchen of Old Man Chen's house, with a secret passage underground or something like that.
So I walked around the room carefully, but I lay on the ground and looked at the cement-painted floor over and over again, but I didn't find any problems.
After the cement was applied, the floor in the house became a complete piece without any gaps.
Not long after, Li Huaishan's voice came from the south room: "If it's not, come and see what this is."
Are you shouting so loudly, are you afraid that the neighbors will not know that someone has entered Widow Wang's house?
I frowned helplessly and followed Li Huaishan's voice to the south room.
There is only an empty small room to the west of the living room, and behind the south wall of the living room is a short corridor with a room on each side of the corridor.
Speaking of which, Widow Wang, whose husband has been dead for many years, should be considered a wealthy person in the village.
Her house is not only large and complex in structure, but also has a complete set of things.
Before entering the corridor, I glanced at the south wall.

There is a wall-mounted color TV and a silver-gray video player on the TV cabinet.
In 2007, wall-mounted flat-screen TVs seemed not yet popular, so it was a bit unexpected to see one in such a remote place.
Maybe I wouldn't be so surprised to see such a thing hanging in other people's homes.
After all, only women and children live in the village, while the men make money outside.
But as for Widow Wang, the main labor force in their family has passed away for many years, and she herself And he never leaves the village all year round, where does the money come from?
At this time, I remembered what Old Man Chen said again.
Chen Dabang transported a dozen women from other places to the village.
These people never went out after entering Widow Wang's house.
Whenever Chen Dabang took women back to the village, a car from other places would park near Baozi.
When I heard these words, I guessed that Chen Dabang and Widow Wang were a pair of human traffickers.
I think there should be a secret passage from Widow Wang’s house that leads directly to the fort.
After Chen Dabang gets those innocent girls to Widow Wang, the two of them will use this secret passage to transport people to the fort and sit there.
The person in the car should be the buyer.
Maybe the buyer is a different person every time, and only the driver remains the same.
Maybe all the girls are sold to the same person.
But there is a fatal flaw in this speculation.
Why didn't Chen Dabang directly transport the people to the fort?
Instead of going to the village first, wouldn't it be more eye-catching?
The situation in Widow Wang's family also seems to prove to me that she is a person who can make money from outside.
After all, the village is too poor.
If you want to be rich, you can only make money from outside.
But how this foreign wealth was obtained has not yet been determined.
As soon as I entered the corridor, Li Huaishan rushed out of the room on the east side of the corridor.
When he came out, he still had a white stone in his hand and shouted for me to see it.
I found that the door on the west side of the corridor was not open.
I ignored Li Huaishan, immediately reached out, pushed the door open, and glanced inside a few times.
To the west of the corridor is the kitchen.
Widow Wang’s home uses a gas stove, but there is no wood-burning earth stove, and there is no place to hide people.
It's just that this place is obviously a kitchen, but it smells like washing powder, and there are large areas of water on the floor that haven't had time to dry out.
On the surface, someone had washed clothes here not long ago, and the wet clothes hanging out in the yard seemed to prove this.
But I could smell it.
The smell of laundry detergent that filled the kitchen was a little stale, which meant that people often washed things here.
There was a pool in the yard.
When I came in, I also noticed a piece of rubbish that had been rubbed down on the edges when I came in. clothes board, and a completely dry soap dish.
Widow Wang usually washes clothes in the yard.
What she washes in the kitchen is probably not clothes, but other things.
In addition to the smell of washing powder and oil smoke, I can also vaguely smell a very light rust smell.
Because the other two smells are too strong, this smell is almost safely covered.
Li Huaishan poked my shoulder from behind: "If not, look at this thing."
I then turned towards him and looked at the white stone in his hand.
When he came out of the house just now, I didn't look carefully.
I thought the thing he was holding was a piece of polished white marble.
After looking carefully, I saw clearly that it was an ordinary stone painted with white lime.
Under the light, every pit on the surface of the stone casts a shadow.
These shadows are as if they were painted with black watercolor pens.

They are black to the end without any variegation.
Li Huaishan pointed to a few small black figures among them and said to me: "Look at what these are."
When I looked at the small area of his finger, several black shadows came together to outline a baby's face.
The outline of the baby's face is not clear, but it can be seen that it is a very weird smiling face.
"Look carefully, the stone is covered with these things."
Li Huaishan said while turning the stone in his hand.
Under the light, baby faces outlined by shadows flashed before my eyes.
Each face, regardless of size or expression, seemed to be carved out of the same mold, exactly the same.
Li Huaishan turned the stone and said, "Do you think there is something wrong with Widow Wang's brain?
Does she feel panicked when she puts such a bunch of things in the house?"
I took the stone from Li Huaishan's hand, and the white lime immediately covered my palm.
It can be seen that the powder used by Widow Wang is not very good, and her craftsmanship is not very good.
The powder is thick in some places and very thin in other places.
Only the baby's face has only a very thin layer.
If you use a fingernail to apply powder, you can see the original color of the stone.
I asked Li Huaishan: "What did you just say, a bunch of things?"
Li Huaishan moved two steps and asked me to go into the house and take a look.
It was full of such stones.
I immediately entered the room and saw a very wide double bed directly opposite the door, with a dressing table next to the bed.
These two pieces of furniture were the only things in the house that were not filled with stones.
Apart from them, all the cabinets, kitchen cabinets, and even the small dish next to the bed were filled with stones.
Some stones were painted with powder, but some had not had time to be painted.
The lime powder on many stones fell on the ground, making the ground pale.
In addition, I found that except for the area next to the bed, large areas of cement were exposed on all four walls of the house, and the white paint used to paint the walls was all scratched into shape.
I picked up a stone from the ground and compared it with the one in my hand.
Apart from the difference in size, the shapes of the two stones are almost identical.
Looking at the other stones on the ground, there is only a difference in size.
There is no difference in the edges, corners, and pits with the naked eye.
Li Huaishan asked from the side: "What is the use of Widow Wang collecting so many stones?
Are they antiques?
Can they be sold for money?"
I put down the two stones in my hand and patted the lime powder stuck to my hand: "All the stones were unearthed two hundred years ago.
These things cannot be sold for money, but they can kill people."
Li Huaishan was a little surprised: "What does it mean to die?"
I sighed and asked him: "During the confinement period, were you focusing on Qian Yanan?
There are so many classics in the West Hall, have you not read any of them?"
Li Huaishan spread his hands: "Stop making trouble, brother, only you and your family can see those things.
Even if I want to see them, I can't get them."
Too.
I pointed to the stones on the ground and said to him: "This thing is called a karma stone.
Every stone is an IOU
