On May 26th, it rained heavily, and God seemed to have something unhappy. First, it rained heavily for dozens of minutes, and then it rained non-stop. The sky and the earth were dark. The rainwater filled all the places that could be filled, the sewers were filled with rainwater, the bridge holes were full of water, and vehicles could not pass through.
The same is true for Zhili Village located in the most northwest corner of Dongxing City. Although Zhili Village belongs to Dongxing City, it is far away from the city center of Dongxing City. Compared with Dongxing City, it is farther away from other cities. closer. As a result, this place has basically become a zone of no-things, and the speed of development is slower than other places.
The heavy rain washed the dirt roads in the village to the point of mud, and in this kind of weather, all the villagers had no way to go out, so they could only stay at home and play mahjong and chess. At seven o'clock in the evening, five-year-old Gu Hui hadn't returned home. The villagers searched the village for most of the night in the rain, but they couldn't find any trace of Gu Hui.
The children in the village are used to being wild, and they usually run around in the village when they are free, and the family members are not worried. After all, the village is not big, and everyone in the village knows each other, and no outsiders usually come. Although the children in the village were wild, they went home after shouting twice, but Gu Hui never went back.
The family members don't know when Gu Hui went out, or who Gu Hui went to play with. But I asked the rest of the children, and they all said that they didn't go out to play with Gu Hui in the afternoon. It was raining all the time that day, and most of the children didn't go out to play, or their families didn't care when the children went out.
After a night of searching failed, the family called the police the next day. After filing a case, they began to search for Gu Hui. However, a lot of manpower searched for a long time in the village and even in the mountains, but there was still no clue. There was no surveillance in the village, and the family didn't even know when Gu Hui went out, and no one saw Gu Hui that afternoon.
Some people suspected that they were abducted, but the road was muddy that day, and there was no way for cars to enter Zhili Village. They parked their cars outside the asphalt road and walked into Zhili Village. It takes two hours to walk into Zhili Village from the road.
On May 27th, I arrived at Zhili Village, but I couldn't find any clues about Gu Hui. As the sky was getting dark, I decided to go back first. Just when everyone was about to leave, on the muddy path, in a water-logged hollow, a sharp-eyed eye found some black silky things on the surface of the water.
At that time, it was raining lightly in the sky, and the raindrops fell into the small pool, rippling out circles of ripples, and the black silky thing flowed with the ripples. Everyone walked to the side of the small pool to have a look, only to find that this thing turned out to be strands of black hair.
Who would throw these strands of hair into this puddle? The young man squatted down and used his hands to scoop up the hair in the water, wanting to fish it up and have a look. But when the young man reached out to fish it, he found that the hair couldn't be pulled out, as if it was pressed under the water by something.
The young man pulled it hard twice, but the hair was tight, as if it had grown in the pool.
At this time, the young man's curiosity arose, and he stretched his hand down along the hair, but the next moment, he yelled and backed away, falling on his back on the muddy road, the mud covered his whole body, all over his skin. Everyone could see the fear on the young man's face, and he didn't speak for a long while.
After a long time, the young man stammered and said: "In this puddle, there is a face in this puddle..."
Everyone was stunned, everyone was staring at the rippling water patterns, what happened in this circular puddle with a radius of less than 50 centimeters, under the calm water surface , What did the young man touch
Some people guessed something, but none of the crowd spoke. The light rain was pattering down, and the drops of rain fell directly into the depths of people's hearts.
It was an old man who spoke first. He told all the children watching the fun to leave, and then asked the surrounding villagers to find water ladles, hoes and other tools. At this time, smart people already knew what happened. He brought a ladle, and he slowly scooped out the rainwater in the puddle. After only two scoops of water, a lot of hair appeared in front of everyone.
To be precise, hair doesn't grow in puddles, it grows on a human head. Everyone looked down condescendingly, and could see a dark human head in the hole. When there is water, the hair on this human head floats. After scooping out the water, the hair was wet and stuck to the face of the human head. From the gaps in the hair, it looks like a child, but when you peel off the hair, it's a little girl.
Gu Hui was found in this way.
Continuing to look down, this is not just a human head, the neck is connected to the bottom of the head, and no blood is seen. Judging from the current situation, the situation under the girl's neck cannot be seen, and there is still rainwater in the cave. At this moment, the water scoop can't go deep into the narrow cave, and everyone must drain all the rainwater in the cave to see what's inside. Happening.
But everyone can be sure of one thing, that is, Gu Hui is dead.
Gu Hui's entire face was soaked in rainwater for too long, her face was swollen badly, and her face was covered with wrinkles, white as snow in winter, her eyes were swollen like copper bells, and For a corpse to become like this, it means that it has been immersed in water for a long time.
Someone immediately said: "Dig with a hoe, I guess I accidentally stepped on it and fell into the pit. This pit is deeper than her height, and the space is very narrow. When this girl falls in, even if she wants to Struggling, and there is no place to use strength to climb up, so I can only do nothing in this hole."
After a pause, she spoke again: "Besides, it was raining heavily that day, and there was basically no one on the road. She couldn't call for help, and she couldn't speak in the water. So this little girl drowned to death in such a state."
A young villager said, "Since she fell, why dig her out? Why don't we just pull her out?"
The man said: "The corpse has been soaked for too long, and it has become rotten and bloated. Now it is not an easy task to pull the corpse out of the pit. Dig it and see what's going on."
Because he was afraid of destroying the corpse, Cha was very careful when he lowered the hoe, and dug the corpse out of the pit after a full two hours. And the moment everyone dug out the body, everyone was stunned. This corpse is no longer human-like. The corpse of a five-year-old girl looks extremely huge. If the family members don't distinguish carefully and look at the clothes, they may not be able to recognize their girl at a glance.
Gu Hui's parents were working out of town and hadn't come back at the time, while Gu Hui's grandmother collapsed to the ground the moment she saw the body, and never woke up again.
There were no conditions for an autopsy in the village, so the corpse was carried in a sack and sent back to the funeral home that night.
On May 28, the autopsy results showed that the little girl had fluid in her lungs, and the cause of death was drowning. No other wounds were found on the body of the corpse, and there were no signs of tears on the clothes. From this point of view, the deceased should have had no disputes with anyone before his death.
Through multi-directional observation of the puddle, it was found that the radius of the puddle was more than 30 centimeters. It was an irregular shape, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and the narrowest place could only accommodate an adult's thigh. Gu Hui stumbled and fell into the hole. In the narrow space, her arms couldn't even move, she couldn't even turn around, let alone crawl out
After various investigations and evidence collection, it is preliminarily inferred that the death should be accidental, but the investigation and evidence collection is not over yet, and no one knows what the final result will be like. However, it was initially determined to be an accidental death, so very few people were mobilized.
On May 30th, there was still no progress. Gu Hui's father, Gu Zhi, believes that his daughter must have been murdered, rather than falling into the puddle by some mistake. Moreover, Gu Zhi also has his own doubts, but Gu Zhi does not have the slightest evidence, so naturally he does not accept such groundless suspicions.
At this time, Gu Zhi thought of his cousin Gu Chen, so he hoped that Gu Chen could come to investigate and find out the real truth. Gu Chen has quit now, but still agrees. When they were young, Gu Chen and Gu Zhi grew up wearing a pair of pants.
It's just that later Gu Chen was admitted to university, while Gu Zhi stayed in the countryside to get married and have children early.
It's just that Gu Chen's talent for solving crimes is far less than arresting people, so Gu Chen thought of me. But I don't know if it is possible for me to come out to help him under Zhao Mingkun's abduction.
So I found out what the whole thing was about.
I told Gu Chen on the phone that I can go, but Zhao Mingkun has some secrets, and I have to come back later. And Zhao Mingkun also had his own business, and he just took advantage of the time they were apart to do it. After I finish investigating this matter and join her, she will investigate Wu Zui's matter during this time.
So Gu Chen drove me to Zhili Village.
In the car, I finally saw Gu Chen again. From Gu Chen's frown and gloomy expression, it could be seen that Gu Chen attached great importance to this matter, after all, the little girl who died was his relative.
The light rain began to fall again, and it seemed that this rain would last for a long time.
