When Ren Xiaosu learned that the old man was here to investigate the disappearance of Officer Li, he immediately became vigilant, but he didn't show anything on the surface.
Ren Xiaosu sat next to the campfire, and the student next to him handed him a roasted chicken leg.
The old man smiled at Ren Xiaosu while eating: "Young people nowadays don't pay much attention to their intestines and stomach. When you are my age, you will understand that it is a blessing to be able to eat."
p>"You're right," Ren Xiaosu glanced at the other party. It must be unreasonable to have diarrhea for six hours. Before, he was praising Chen Wudi in his heart for his adaptability. Now that he thought about it, it was actually his own thought. That’s a lot.
Chen Wudi said that he had diarrhea for six hours, which meant that the old man had been here for six hours.
However, the old man did not ask where he had gone. He just followed the reason of diarrhea, as if he had no intention of going into details.
Ren Xiaosu did not believe that a person responsible for investigating a case could ignore such a simple common sense issue. The other party was pretending to be confused.
"You came to investigate the case this time. Do you have any clues?" Ren Xiaosu said nonchalantly.
"I said I came here to investigate, but what does the disappearance of Li's people have to do with me?" the old man said with a smile: "I am so old and you are still allowed to go out in this weather. Work, do you think this is what people do?"
Ren Xiaosu looked at the other person's appearance: "How old are you this year?"
"You are seventy-three this year. ," the old man said with a smile: "I haven't introduced myself properly yet, hello everyone, my name is Hu Hua."
Everyone looked at each other, the name sounded so weird, but what Ren Xiaosu was more concerned about was that the other person didn't have a last name. plum.
In this place, people with the surname Li are worthy of Ren Xiaosu’s attention. So far, except for Li Qingzheng, the Wolf King of Kunshan, all the people with the surname Li that Ren Xiaosu has met are basically mid-level and high-level officers in the consortium army. .
"Why did you take this case?" Ren Xiaosu asked curiously.
“I don’t want to take it either,” Hu Huan scratched his scalp with his little finger and said with a smile, “But Mrs. Li gave me an order saying that if I don’t come to investigate the case, I won’t be paid. I just came here to take care of the errands. But I didn’t expect that I would be able to eat so much game when I arrived at your post. I made a profit.”
Ren Xiaosu felt that this matter was not as simple as the other party said. A seventy-three-year-old man came here. How could he be an ordinary person?
And there must be a reason why Li asked the other party to come out when there was a problem.
However, at this moment, Hu Huan stood up and patted the dust on his pants: "Okay, eat and drink enough."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked: "You How many outposts have you visited today?"
Hu said with a smile: "You are the only one."
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu felt that the other party might have discovered some clues., so I came directly to them. For a moment, Ren Xiaosu began to hesitate whether to leave the other party.
Hu Nu suddenly said: "Um...which room should I stay in?"
This stopped everyone in their tracks. Ren Xiaosu was still thinking about keeping the other party. But I didn't expect that the other party actually planned to live here directly.
Li Qing was standing next to him and said with a smile: "We will clean out a room for you right now."
There are 7 bungalows in the outpost, and one of them was originally empty. There were not many things in the sundries storage room. Now that Hu said he wanted to stay overnight, Li Qingzheng, as the squad leader of the combat team, was also willing to have a relationship with such an old man who was suspected of being a big shot.
Most refugees have an instinct. Everyone thinks that having a relationship with a big shot in the barrier will make life easier. They are superstitious about this relationship.
However, this put Ren Xiaosu in a bit of a dilemma. He decided to wait and see for the time being, and wait until he was sure what the old man's purpose was before deciding what to do.
Ren Xiaosu felt that this nonsense had clearly found a clue, but he couldn't understand why the other party had the confidence to stay here?
However, something happened that made Ren Xiaosu even more surprised. This nonsense was not about staying here for one night, but... not leaving!
Early the next morning, the Wolf King delivered a large number of pheasants as promised, and these pheasants were piled at the gate of the post.
But this strange scene did not arouse Wu's questioning. The other party seemed as if nothing happened, and just praised that this is indeed a good place to eat meat.
Ren Xiaosu observed the other party's expression. Everyone knew that this was not normal, but he was talking nonsense without asking. Wu Zizi started Tai Chi at the gate of the outpost, and after that, he asked Li Qingzheng and the others to cook. Said he still wanted to eat meat.
As a result, everyone started eating barbecue since early in the morning. Ren Xiaosu felt that his whole body was filled with the smell of barbecue.
“Don’t you ask where this prey comes from?” Ren Xiaosu asked while eating meat.
Hu Hua said with a smile: "As long as you have something to eat, you don't care where the food comes from? It couldn't have come from a wolf."
Ren Xiaosu was speechless for a moment. It becomes increasingly unclear what the purpose of this nonsense is.
In the early morning of the third day, Hu Huo woke up as usual and practiced Tai Chi. After finishing the exercise, he invited everyone to cook.
The only difference is that another truck came down the mountain today, but the soldiers who came this time were a little special. They actually brought daily necessities such as bedding and teapots, and packed them again for Hu Hu. After looking around the room...
Ren Xiaosu was shocked to find that this nonsense guy was planning to stay here for a long time.
While the soldiers were cleaning up the house, Ren Xiaosu was carefully observing whether Hu Huan told the soldiers anything strange, such as hinting that the other party would bring heavy troops to encircle and suppress the outpost, but the result was that there was no such thing.
On the other hand, when the soldiers reported things to Hu Shuo, Hu Shuo did not shy away from Ren Xiaosu and the others.The story is also related to Ren Xiaosu: the outpost on another hilltop was attacked by wolves, and wolf blood and wolf hair were found there. The army has attached great importance to this matter and plans to send troops to clear out the wolves in the mountain.
Ren Xiaosu observed Hu Hua's reaction, but Hu Hua just smiled and said: "The wolves have nothing to do with our case, don't get involved in this kind of trivial matter."
From beginning to end, The other party seemed not to have thought of anything from the pheasant at the gate of the post.
But Ren Xiaosu knew very well that the other party was just pretending to understand.
At this moment, Li Qingzheng whispered to Ren Xiaosu: "The officer who gave this old man something is a senior colonel!"
Ren Xiaosu was stunned for a moment. What kind of level does a person of this level have within the Li family?
No one came to the outpost after that, and Hu said that he would only stay here for a week. Ren Xiaosu suddenly felt that the other party might be planning to spend the Spring Festival with them...
