More terrifying than finding a corpse is finding a corpse buried alive, then, more terrifying than finding a corpse buried alive is finding a second one.
Lin Chen stood beside Xing Conglian and felt that everyone looked at him with a strange look.
Under the banyan tree, the painter's body had been put into a bag, and the black zipper was gently closed to cover the last trace of his face.
The sun clearly rose higher, but the lake wind cooled down.
Lin Chen gathered up his clothes, walked to the edge of the mound, and looked in.
In the deep pit, under the place where Li Sa lay before, there is a girl, a very young and beautiful girl.
The girl was wearing a long white dress, with long black hair and a quiet face, like a well-behaved rag doll. Although the dress was dirty and her face was covered with traces of soil, her expression was warm and content, as if she was sitting Drink a hot cup of hot cocoa in a dessert shop on a winter street.
Thinking of this, Lin Chen's eyes moved up along the girl's arm.
Sure enough, the girl's hands were also folded on her chest, and the originally fair and delicate hands were also chapped and wrapped in dried mud and blood.
"How do you know that there are people down there?"
There was a cold questioning voice behind him, Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and looked back.
Mr. Forensic was standing at a distance from him, clenching his fists, apparently trying to keep his cool.
"Because, I used to be a student here."
"You are a student here, and it has nothing to do with you knowing that there is a corpse underneath!"
"No, because I'm a student here, I know a lot of things in this school." Lin Chen paused, looking for a more suitable wording to explain his unpredictable prophet, "This banyan tree has a very The rustic name, it is called the Lover Tree, there are always many strange legends circulating in the university, so the legend about this banyan tree is like this, two people who love each other, as long as they lie under the tree hand in hand and make a wish, You can grow old until you die, and you won't be separated until you die."
Most of the legends are absurd and bizarre. When Lin Chen heard this story for the first time, he just thought it was strange. After all, they were all students who had received formal university education.
But it wasn't until one day that the old man took his hand and mysteriously told him the legend of the lover tree, that he realized that this kind of legend was of course made up by the older generation to deceive young people.
But according to the current situation, it seems that someone has turned the legend into reality.
"So, you think there is a corpse underneath, just because of a campus legend, what is the relationship between this girl and the painter, a lover?" The forensic doctor asked hesitantly, even he didn't believe it himself, like a fairy Little girl, why do you want to fall in love with an extremely ordinary painter, but love never seems to make sense.
"I'm not an immortal, how can I know so much." The question was too much, and he really couldn't answer.
"Oh! So you think there's someone down there, you guessed it?" Jiang Chao took the forensic doctor carelessly, drove the person back, and asked in person.
"It's not wrong to say that. After all, I didn't bury people, so I can only guess." He was a little helpless, but he found that if he didn't explain this problem clearly now, he would really be regarded as a magician, so he Taking two steps back, he left the vicinity of the pit, looked at the soil under the banyan tree, and said, "First of all, this is the burial, and the burial is on the campus of the university, which means that no matter who buried Li Sa, he did not intend to hide it, then , this place itself is very meaningful.”
"Makes sense, continue."
"Although the same place has different meanings to different people, the most famous meaning of this banyan tree is what I said just now. Of course, the legend of lovers holding hands until they die, just makes me think. , Could this be a case of a couple dying of love..." He said, looking at the ground under his feet, "However, under the banyan tree, only the soil near Li Sa's body shows signs of being turned over. People who do not know how to do it will subconsciously come to the conclusion that there is only one corpse here."
"Yes, so tell me, why do you think there is another body buried under one body! There is a thick layer of soil between the two bodies. You didn't tell me to turn it over, we couldn't find it at all. There are people."
"Because of Li Sa's hand."
"What happened to Li Sashou?"
"Li Sa's hands are very worn, which shows that he dug this tomb by himself. I guess the reason why he dug this tomb by himself is probably to bury his lover."
Lin Chen's voice was a little low, and in the end, it was almost inaudible.
The policeman beside the tree silently put down the shovel in his hand; Jiang Chao looked at the girl with more sympathy. The people beside the tree were silent, no one spoke, or in other words, he didn't know how to speak.
At this moment, a crisp sound broke the quiet and low atmosphere.
Someone was applauding, and the applause was repeated at a very low frequency.
Lin Chen turned his head and saw two people walking slowly towards them through the sparse trees.
The man at the head was full of white hair, wearing a very close-fitting black suit, with a bow tie around his neck, and a dark red handkerchief in the front of the front. He had a noble and elegant temperament, and he was a housekeeper.
"As expected of us, Yongchuan University, the most famous psychology graduate in the past ten years, it's really a set of stories to make up stories." The man's tone was condescending and rude.
Lin Chen looked at him, almost feeling his luck again.
Although Jing Xing Conglian reminded him that he also knew that he had to be careful when stepping into Yongchuan. After all, this is the Chen family's territory, but he did not expect that he would meet the Chen family housekeeper again in this way in Yongchuan University. .
It's so fast that it's unpredictable...
"Hello, butler." He bowed slightly, said hello, then raised his head, bowed to the man on Chen Ping's left, bowed again, and said, "Vice President Xu, long time no see."
Chen Ping lowered his eyes and looked down at the young man in front of him.
Previously, his subordinates reported to him that Lin Chen set foot in Yongchuan University again, and he rushed to the school immediately, but when he arrived, he actually heard that there was a murder in the school, which made him furious!
In layman's terms: Lin Chen, you fucking did it on purpose, no matter what happens, there will be you!
Although he was in a very irritable mood, Chen Ping had to maintain the pride that a housekeeper of a big family should have, so when he saw Lin Chen, he could only taunt him with restraint.
But what about Lin Chen? Lin Chen is still polite and disciplined, neither humble nor arrogant. In fact, every time he drives Lin Chen and drives this young man to a lower job, the response to him is the same calmness and bowing.
Many times, Chen Ping felt that Lin Chen didn't care about the dilemma that he was expelled by the North and South family, let alone whether he slept in a small bungalow or a basement today. The key problem was that he felt that Lin Chen, deep down, didn't care about them at all.
Why doesn't he care, why doesn't he care!
The more Chen Ping thought about it, the more angry he became. He angrily said to the police officers at the scene: "I have a fatal case in Yongchuan University. Is this how you investigated it!"
Jiang Chao looked at the menacing old man, and was stunned by the yelling.
"Mr. Butler, do you have any comments on the police investigation?"
It was still a lazy tone and a slightly smiling ending. Chen Ping always wondered where he had heard this voice. He followed the reputation and saw the policeman who was protecting Lin Chen in Hongjing Experimental Primary School again. .
"If you have any opinions, you can go to the bureau to raise them, but this is the scene of the crime after all. If you go in and out like this, it will still cause trouble for our police to collect evidence." Vice Captain Jiang, who was still in a state of shock in Xing Conglian, said this. Say.
Jiang Chao recovered in an instant, turned his head and stared at the uninvited two people, and shouted: "Who are you, just enter the crime scene... Xiao Chen Xiao Chen, invite me out!"
Chen Ping sneered: "This is Yongchuan University. This is the vice president of Yongchuan University. What do you mean, when such a big thing happened in the school, the police did not allow our school to understand the situation?"
"There is no problem with understanding the situation, but it is true that idle people and others are not allowed to enter the scene of the crime at will, please forgive me." Xing Conglian said.
"Yongchuan, it doesn't seem to be the jurisdiction of Captain Xing, and he, isn't he waiting?" Chen Ping said, pointing to Lin Chen.
"But I'm a policeman, and Mr. Lin Chen, unfortunately, is a consultant of our Hongjing Brigade. Of course, compared with you, we are still a little more qualified to stand here." Xing Conglian He spoke very politely, with a smile on his face, but the meaning in his words was very disrespectful.
Looking at the young man's smiling face, Chen Ping realized that he was being led into a ditch...
"Very good... Very good!" Chen Ping sneered twice, took out his mobile phone, and dialed a set of numbers, "Is that Liu Bureau, I'm Chen Ping, I'm in Yongchuan University... Yes, something happened in our school, To trouble you..."
"Something happened at the scene." Chen Ping's eyes swept across the faces of Lin Chen, Xing Conglian, and the policeman who had just invited him out. Then he turned around and walked out of the woods. Very slowly, as if deliberately trying to let everyone present hear his words: "Someone found a second body that is absolutely impossible to find. We suspect that that person is suspected of committing a major crime... But your subordinates seem to be protecting each other... I want to ask you, what is going on here?"
The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say, Chen Ping calmed down: "Okay, then I'll trouble you..."
After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone and stood still outside the cordon, looking at the people inside.
Jiang Chao looked around, only to feel that the old man's cold voice still echoed in the woods: "Is this a complaint to our director?" He asked Xing Conglian.
"It seems so?" Xing Conglian smiled helplessly.
Almost the next second, Jiang Chao's cell phone rang.
The other end of the phone was a scolding, and even Xing Cong could hear the irritable voice coming from the microphone from a distance.
Jiang Chao hung up the phone and looked up at Xing Conglian, like an eggplant beaten by frost, with a very embarrassed expression on his face.
Xing Conglian knew it very well. He patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder and asked, "Why, do you need us to assist in the investigation?"
Jiang Chao nodded heavily, then leaned into Xing Conglian's ear and said softly, "Hey, it's okay, our boss is probably pretending to show the old man a show." Noisily.
After he finished speaking, he regained his embarrassed expression, raised his voice, and didn't know who to tell him: "Old Xing, I'm really sorry, I have to work hard for you and Mr. Lin, and come back with us later!"
The police officers at the scene were displeased when they heard this.
"What are you doing? Have you finished collecting evidence? Have you finished the corpse experience? Hurry up and work!" Jiang Chao shouted.
Because of Jiang Chao's urging, the police at the scene told the operation again.
Because the pit under the banyan tree was too deep, two police officers, under the command of the forensic doctor, tried to remove the girl's body from the pit.
Lin Chen and Xing Conglian came together, seeing Lin Chen frowning slightly, he couldn't help but comforted in a low voice: "It's not your fault."
The girl's body was slowly taken out.
Suddenly, there was something under the corpse and in the soil layer, which once again attracted the attention of the forensic doctor.
He carefully knelt on the edge of the pit, and gently pushed aside the layer of soil with his hands, and a piece of bright red cloth was suddenly exposed!
"It seems... it seems that there is another person below..." He raised his head and shouted at the two who were talking not far away.
Hearing that sentence, Xing Conglian finally showed a shocked expression on his face.
"My suspicions seem to be cleared up?" Lin Chen looked at Xing Conglian with the same shocked expression, and muttered.
