The next morning, we set off directly. The Soviet army looked very tired. It is estimated that he did not have a good rest last night, and the two policemen who were with him last night simply did not show up.
Along the way, the Soviet army seemed very silent, not knowing what they were thinking. When they arrived at the place, they just told the police to follow him to find Shi Xiaodie's body.
It seems that the experience of last night left a deep impression on the Soviet army, and almost did not go wrong, and the Soviet army found the place directly.
The police who went to the village to inquire about the news had already set off.
"Captain Su, we got it."
I had just finished a cigarette when a policeman came to report.
Su Jun didn't answer, but turned to look at me.
I nodded and said, "Let's go there."
The Soviet army took the lead and walked over.
The first thing to be dug out was a black coffin, and beside the coffin, there were policemen digging up the bones of teacher Xiaodie.
The Soviet army took a deep breath before the coffin was opened.
Without any accident, it was Zheng Chen lying in the coffin.
Zheng Chen's face was still as thin as skin and bones, even his eyeballs were shriveled, and his whole body was like a mummified corpse, without any moisture in his body.
And on Zheng Chen's face, there was still a weird smile.
Su Jun waved lightly: "Take it away."
Several forensic doctors in full body protection immediately went down to prepare to lift the corpse. At this moment, I saw something reflected in the sunlight behind Zheng Chen's head.
"Wait, what's behind Zheng Chen's head?"
Several forensic doctors glanced at me, and then all looked at the Soviet army without any action.
Su Jun looked at me suspiciously and said, "Check it out."
Several forensic doctors squatted down, looked carefully and said, "It seems to be a fragment of something."
This time, without my order, Su Jun directly asked the forensic doctor to sort out the debris first.
The fragments piled up little by little. I put on the gloves handed over by the forensic doctor and slowly put the pieces together.
"It's the three-legged golden toad." Old man Zhang shouted.
I nodded. Although I only spelled out a small part, I can already see that this is a sculpture of a three-legged golden toad, but I haven't seen the material yet.
Su Jun squatted beside me and asked, "This is useful."
I nodded, and then the Soviet army called a policeman to put him away.
Everything seemed to be going well, but after digging for a long time, Shi Xiaodie's body was not found at the place where Shi Xiaodie should be.
A policeman wiped his sweat and said, "Captain Su, are you still digging?"
Su Jun looked directly at me, and I shook my head as I looked at this big pit that was as tall as a man.
"No."
The Soviet army pulled me aside: "Why is Shi Xiaodie's body missing again?"
"The illusion last night belonged to Zheng Chen, which means that Zheng Chen did indeed bury Shi Xiaodie here, but now that it is gone, Zheng Chen probably doesn't know."
"But they were buried together last night." Su Jun looked at the excavated soil and said, "The soil is so solid, it doesn't look like it was just dug up."
I shook my head, there seemed to be another person behind the whole incident, and this person, not to mention that we haven't discovered it now, probably even Zheng Chen doesn't know, but who could this person be.
I moved my gaze to the dug up soil.
"Hey, what's that?"
"What."
I pointed to a small piece of wood in the soil, and a forensic doctor who was about to climb out picked it up and looked at it: "It looks like bamboo strips for weaving mats."
Mat, Su Jun and I looked at each other, only to hear Su Jun say, "Come and ask someone in the village where the woman surnamed Zhang was buried."
Old man Zhang came over and said, "Master, why did Zheng Chen exchange the graves of the woman surnamed Zhang and Shi Xiaodie? Is there any special reason?"
"There must be, but we haven't found it yet."
Things seem to be blocked by a layer of fog, so that we can only see a little shadow vaguely, and we can't connect everything in the fog at all.
The Soviet army was busy, and I took old man Zhang to start researching the differences between the two cemeteries. The biggest possibility is that the burial place has something special about it, for example, it is more yin and suitable for raising corpses. of.
After a lap, the old man Zhang and I didn't find anything, not all of them. At most, Shi Xiaodie's cemetery had better geomantic omen, while the cemetery of the woman surnamed Zhang had almost no geomantic omen to speak of. The place.
I haven't studied Feng Shui, but I heard from old man Zhang that this difference basically has no impact.
"Great, master, the Soviet team invites you to come over." A policeman was sent by the Soviet army to call us.
I walked over with Zhang Laotou.
At this time, Su Jun was sitting on the side smoking with an ugly face. When he saw us passing by, he threw the cigarette butt and said, "I got a little information, but my colleague said that the people in the village probably passed the gas and were very uncooperative."
"Tell me what you know first."
The Soviet army nodded, and then told us bit by bit.
Shi Xiaodie and Zheng Chen were classmates in junior high school and high school, but later Zheng Chen was admitted to university, while Shi Xiaodie went to other places to work, but the contact between the two has not been broken during this period.
Almost everyone in the village thought that the two would be a couple.
When Zheng Chen came back to celebrate the New Year in his junior year, he happened to meet Shi Xiaodie. For some reason, the two seemed to have a falling out. Before the year was over, Zheng Chen went back to school directly.
However, Shi Xiaodie didn't leave, she didn't leave until after a long time, but she didn't come back after leaving.
And Zheng Chen got married after graduating from university, and his wife is Zhou Yan from the same village.
It seems that Zheng Chen and Shi Xiaodie have no contact, but according to a villager, he saw Shi Xiaodie and Zheng Chen quarreling in the back mountain just before Zheng Chen got married. And soon Shi Xiaodie died of illness on the way back.
He had already returned, so how could he have died of illness on the way back? Could it be that the one who came back was a ghost.
Sure enough, I only got a little information, I looked at Su Jun speechless, Su Jun smiled embarrassedly, and glared at the policeman who inquired about the news.
"Could it be that Zheng Chen killed Shi Xiaodie?"
"Is the time right?"
The policeman shook his head and said, "Basically, no one in the village can tell the time, which is very strange. Logically speaking, getting married is not a trivial matter. How come no one remembers the exact time."
Things were getting weirder and weirder, I couldn't think of a clue at all, so I just put aside and asked, "What about the woman surnamed Zhang?"
"There is even less information about that woman. All I know is that she was bought to be a wife. Later, she was disliked and begged in the village. She seems to have sex with many men. Well, I can't ask for more information."
"Where is the man who bought her?"
Su Jun said with a depressed face: "I'm looking for it. I said I went out to work. There is no news yet."
I couldn't help rubbing my temples, but I still didn't have any clues.
