When Zidie told me about the strange case in Qianwen Village, her cell phone suddenly rang. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. People who would still look for her at such a late hour would definitely not just want to chat with her. !
"Hey, hello, I'm Hua Zidie..." As soon as Zidie introduced herself, she showed a serious expression and listened carefully without saying a word.
There was a loud noise from the handset. Although I couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying, judging from the tone, the other party seemed to be very panicked. Moreover, during the answering process, Zi Die frowned more and more tightly, obviously the other party didn't tell her any good news. Sure enough, after she dropped the phone, she said to me with a serious face: "There is another murder in Qianwen Village, and the villagers all suspect that the murderer is the fourth wife."
"Again? Has there been a murder before?" I asked.
She nodded: "Well, I haven't finished talking just now. On the night of the fourth mother's first seven days, her four children were so frightened when they saw her appearing outside the window. When he returned home, only Shi Feifei was left to watch the spirit in the house of the fourth wife, but that night, Gao Xian did not return to his home. The next day, the villagers found his body lying in the lychee garden outside the village. "
"Gao Xian is the third son of the fourth woman, right? How can the villagers suspect that the fourth woman killed her son?" There is a saying that the tiger's poison is not eaten. Although the fourth woman may have cheated the corpse, it may not killed his own son.
As she walked out, she said to me: "This matter can't be explained clearly in a few words, let's talk while walking!"
I quickly followed and asked, "Who is it that happened this time?"
"It's Gao Hao, the second daughter of the fourth wife." Her short answer made my thoughts chaotic.
We drove to Qianwen Village where there were consecutive murders, and on the way, Zidie continued to tell me about the case—
There are all kinds of murders happening almost every day in big cities, so for you, murders can be said to be commonplace. But for the small county of Xingyang County, the murder case is a big thing, not to mention that there are only two or three hundred people in Qianwen Village, and someone suddenly died inexplicably, of course, it would make people panic. So when I learned about this case, I immediately asked the director to let me investigate.
As far as I know, the fourth wife is a local, and she has never left Xingyang County in her life, and the furthest is to the neighboring village. Among her five children, the eldest son, Gao Qiang, is the head of Qianwen Village; the second daughter, Gao, is unemployed, but her husband, Chen Lu, is the deputy head of Qianwen Village; the third son, Gao Xian, is a teacher in the village's Tuanjie Primary School; The fourth son, Gao Cai, went to work in the provincial capital when he was young and is now the owner of a clothing company; the fifth daughter, Gao Shun, also went out to work in the provincial capital when she was young. The mother-in-law held the funeral, but only asked her daughter, Sphifi, to do it for her.
In the early years, the fourth mother and her husband ran a lychee garden. It is said that they made a lot of money when they were young, and they were considered a relatively wealthy family in the local area. But later, for some reason, her family was at a disadvantage, so her fourth son and fifth daughter went to the provincial capital to make a living...
Although Zidie is now the deputy director, she can tell from her description of the case that her ability to handle the case needs to be improved. All she collected was basic information, which was not directly related to the case. She did not mention some key issues, such as how Gao Xian died. So I asked, "When Gao Xian's body was found, did he have any obvious fatal injuries, and did the autopsy report come out?"
She replied angrily: "You thought this was the provincial capital! I'll find a professional forensic doctor for him. It would be good to find a barefoot doctor willing to do an autopsy."
"You can ask the director to find someone for help! It's not difficult to ask the superior to dispatch a forensic doctor." I asked in confusion.
Her charming face showed a little anger: "That old ghost always has to get by with things. It's harder than getting to the sky to ask him to help."
Alas, it would have been nice to have pulled the fleeting year over, but he might not be willing to come over. Complaining alone will not solve the problem. Although there is no forensic examination of the body, as long as careful investigation can always find some clues, I will ask Zidie again about the deceased. She shuddered suddenly: "Gao Xian's death is quite terrifying, and from the surface, he has only one fatal injury, that is, there is a wound on his left chest that seems to be poked by a finger. Pierced the heart..."
"What? Pierce the heart with a finger?" I was confused by what she said. Can a finger pierce the muscle in the chest and pierce the heart
"It's unbelievable. I was surprised when I saw Gao Xian's body. That's why everyone suspected that the fourth woman was the murderer. It's impossible for a normal person to pierce someone's heart with their fingers, but if it's a zombie or a monster... ' She had a cold look on her face, obviously terrified.
A monster that can kill with a finger is indeed creepy, but the question is whether Gao Xian's strange death is just a coincidence. I said the doubts in my heart, Zi Die sighed and said: "I don't think so, because Gao Hao's situation is similar, and they were all killed by finger poking. Perhaps, her death will be more terrifying."
At this point, we have come to the front of a lychee garden. This lychee garden covers an area of about two acres. The dozens of lychee trees in the garden are all lush and should be several decades old. Because of the lush trees and leaves in the garden, the light is very dim. Even if the place is not big, it is impossible to see the situation inside clearly, only the light and shadow are shaking, and there should be many people inside.
I parked the police car outside the park, and as soon as I got out of the car, I saw a young man in a police uniform trot over. When he ran in front of us, Zidie said to him, "Xiaojun, how is the situation?"
This security guard named Xiaojun looked horrified, and said with a trembling voice: "I don't know what to say, Mr. Hua, you should come and see for yourself!" After that, he led us into the lychee garden.
We came to the center of the lychee garden together. There were about a dozen people around, and three of them were wearing the uniforms of the security team, all of them old guys in their early fifties. A man in his fifties and a fat brain came over when he saw us, and said to Zi Die worriedly: "Director Hua, something happened again, you have to send a few more people to protect me!"
Zi Die glanced at him and responded impatiently: "I'll talk to the director and see if I can arrange it." After that, she ignored him and walked to the place where everyone was watching.
When everyone saw Zidie approaching, they all spread out consciously, and I followed her to check. There was a female body lying on the ground covered with dead branches and leaves. Because of the dim light, I couldn't see the wounds on her body clearly. Fortunately, Zidie asked Xiaojun for a flashlight for me, otherwise the body would have to be moved to a bright place.
With the help of the dim light of the flashlight, I carefully observed the situation of the corpse, and of course the first thing I looked at was her chest. However, no lethal wounds, not even bloodstains, were found on her chest. Xiaojun seemed to be aware of my intentions and reminded me in a low voice, "Her wound is on her head."
I moved the flashlight up, and after the beam passed over the neck of the corpse, a stunned face appeared in front of me. The deceased may have encountered some unexpected things before he was killed. Move the flashlight up again, and a terrible scene will appear. On the sun of the dead, there was a terrible blood hole, the size of which was similar to that of a finger, which seemed to be poked with a finger as Zidie said. There was still blood coming out of the blood hole. I checked the body temperature with my hand on the neck of the deceased, and found that the body was not cold, and the time of death should be within two hours.
On the surface, the deceased looks like he was stabbed to death with a finger, but is it possible? Before Zi Die said that the first deceased was pierced by a finger in the heart, it was incredible enough, and now the deceased in front of him was pierced by the sun with a finger. Although the sun is the thinnest and most vulnerable part of the skull plate, it still has the protection of the skull. Even the master heroes in martial arts novels may not be able to directly leave such a terrible wound on other people's sun with their fingers. . Unless the murderer is not a normal person, but the legendary body has been stiff like steel... Zombie!
Could it be that the fourth woman really cheated and came back to kill her own children
Although this speculation is inconceivable, according to the information obtained in front of us, it is indeed possible. However, the handling of the case cannot be so hasty, and every detail must be understood in detail. Therefore, I asked everyone present who was the last to see the deceased before her death, and who was the first to discover her body.
"Who is he?" The fat-hearted man pointed at me and asked Zi Die, listening to his tone, he didn't seem to be kind to me.
Zi Die glanced at him impatiently, then walked up to me and introduced my identity to everyone: "This is Mu Shenyu, the number one detective of the Criminal Investigation Bureau, known as the 'New King of Criminal Investigation'. I specially invited him from the provincial capital to help me with this case.” She really knows how to play it, and she also brought out my name that no one remembered for a long time, probably from the last investigation of the Longdong Village case. The sudden appearance of an urbanite in such a backcountry will be more or less deified, which will be of great help to subsequent investigations. What I can't figure out, though, is how does she know I have this title
Zi Die's first move, the effect seems to be quite good, the "intestinal fat brain full" who was not very friendly to me immediately stepped up to shake hands with me, and introduced himself: "My name is Gao Qiang, the village head of Qianwen Village. , also..." He glanced at the corpse on the ground, "It's also her brother. I hope Police Officer Mu will take care of him and deal with it as soon as possible, so that the villagers don't worry about it every day."
His words were also very high-sounding. His two younger brothers and sisters died so mysteriously, I am afraid it is him who is worried every day, not the villagers he talks about. However, this didn't affect me much. On the contrary, the more afraid he was, the more he would take the initiative to provide me with information. So, I started to understand the situation of the deceased from him, and my first question, of course, was the situation of the deceased before the accident.
"Tonight is my mother's 27th. According to the custom, we will go to my mother's house to worship her and clean up the old things in the house..." Gao Qiang handed me a cigarette, and then impatiently lit it for himself. After taking a breath, he began to talk about what happened not long ago—
According to the customs of our village, on the fourteenth day after a person's death, "Two Seventh" is to be done. In addition to things like burning incense, candles, and coins, the main purpose is to clean up the old things in the house. In this way, even if the mother comes back and sees that all the things she used before her death are thrown away, she will no longer be attached to the world, and she will go on the road with peace of mind.
According to the custom, the clean-up work is done by married women, and the male family members are responsible for burning the coins and paper products. Because the fifth sister was not in good health, she did not come back in person to hold the funeral for her mother, but asked her daughter Feifei to come back, so she and the second sister did the cleaning work, while the fourth sister and I burned ghost coins at the door.
Everything was normal, I didn't find anything wrong, but around ten o'clock, the second sister suddenly said that she had to go home for something. According to the custom, we had to stay at my mother's house all night, and no one could leave until dawn. And at that time, before the things were cleaned up, she suddenly said that she was going to go home and of course I was a little unhappy. She said a few words to her casually, but she got angry and left after arguing with me for a while.
When she left, she said that she was just going home and would be here soon, and her home was not far away, so she could walk back and forth in a few minutes. However, we waited almost half an hour and didn't see her coming back, so we called her home. At that time, Lao Chen answered the phone. He said that the second sister hadn't gone back all night. (He pointed to a middle-aged man wearing glasses and told me that the other party was Chen Lu, the husband of the deceased.) Because the third child had an accident a week ago, we were very afraid that she would also have an accident, so I immediately called the police. The guys in the team helped and went to find her together, but I didn't expect that something really happened to her...
"When did you discover the deceased? Who discovered her first?" After listening to Gao Qiang's narration, I directly asked these two more critical questions.
"We found her together, the time is probably..." Gao Qiang thought for a while and continued: "It's probably around eleven o'clock!"
"We found out that she called Director Hua." Xiaojun said.
According to the situation at the scene, especially the blood on the ground near the body, this should be the first scene of the murder. Moreover, there was only an hour between the time the deceased left the public's sight and the body was found, so the murderer should have no time to move the body. But the question is why did the dead come here
I expressed my doubts, Gao Qiang shook his head and said he didn't know, I looked at Chen Lu again, and he also shook his head. Just when I was puzzled as to why the deceased would walk in this place where there was no one in the middle of the night, a handsome and well-dressed man in his forties sneered: "Maybe it was the third child who brought her here. !"
