Chapter 40 Chapter 3 Liyuan is gloomy

When Zidie told me about the strange case in Qianwen Village, her mobile phone rang suddenly. It was already eleven o'clock in the evening. Anyone who would look for her at such a late hour would definitely not just want to chat with her. ! "Hi, 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 voice coming from the handset of the mobile phone. Although I couldn't hear what the person on the other end of the phone was saying clearly, judging from the tone of the person, the other party seemed to be very panicked.Moreover, Zidie frowned more and more during the answering process, and the other party obviously didn't want to give her any good news.Sure enough, after she dropped the phone, she said to me with a serious face: "There is another murder case 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 wife's first seven days, her four children were frightened when they saw her appearing outside the window. They didn't dare to stay to watch the spirit. After returning home, only Shi Feifei was left alone in the house of the fourth wife. But that night, Gao Xian did not return to his home, and the next day villagers found his body lying in the lychee garden outside the village. " "Gao Xian is the third son of the fourth wife, right? How could the villagers suspect that the fourth wife killed her own son?" own son killed.

She walked out and said to me: "This matter can't be explained clearly in a few words, let's talk as we walk!" I quickly followed up and asked, "Who was the one who had the accident this time?" "It's Gao Hao, the fourth daughter-in-law's second daughter." Her short answer made my thoughts messy. We drove to Qianwen Village, where a series of homicide cases occurred. On the way, Zidie continued to tell me about the case—— There are various murder cases almost every day in big cities, so for you, murder cases can be said to be commonplace.But for a small county like Xingyang County, a murder case is a big deal, not to mention that there are only two or three hundred people in Qianwen Village, if someone suddenly dies inexplicably, of course it will cause 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 farthest she has been to is the neighboring village.She has five children, the eldest son Gao Qiang is the village head of Qianwen Village; the second daughter Gao Hao is unemployed, but her husband Chen Lu is the deputy village head of Qianwen Village; the third son Gao Xian works as a teacher in the Tuanjie Primary School in the village; Gao Cai went to work in the provincial capital when he was young, and now he is the owner of a clothing company; his fifth daughter, Gao Shun, also went out to work in the provincial capital when he was young. He heard that he had suffered from liver disease in recent years and his health was not good, so he did not come back to take care of his fourth wife. For the funeral, I just let my daughter Shi Feifei do it for me.

The fourth wife and her husband ran a lychee garden in the early years. It is said that they made a lot of money when they were young, and they are considered relatively wealthy in the local area.But later, for some reason, her family’s fortunes fell, so her fourth son and fifth daughter went to the provincial capital to make a living... Although Zidie is now the deputy director, it can be known from her description of the case that her ability to handle cases still 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 discovered, were there any obvious fatal injuries on his body, and was there an autopsy report?"

She replied angrily: "You thought this was the provincial capital! I went there to find a professional forensic doctor. It would be great if I could find a barefoot doctor willing to do an autopsy." "You can ask the director to find someone to help! It's not difficult to ask the superior to send a forensic doctor over here." I asked puzzled. A little anger appeared on her delicate face: "That old ghost always muddle through things, and getting him to help with something is even more difficult than going to heaven." Alas, I wish I had known that I would bring Fleeting Nian over, but he might not be willing to come over.Complaining alone can't solve the problem. Although there is no forensic examination of the corpse, some clues can always be found as long as we investigate carefully, so I asked Zidie about the situation of the deceased again.She suddenly shivered: "Gao Xian's death is quite terrible, and from the appearance alone, he has only one fatal injury, that is, there is a wound on his left chest that looks like he was poked by a finger. pierced through the heart..."

"What? Pierce the heart with your fingers?" I was confused by what she said, can you pierce the muscles in the chest with your fingers and pierce the heart? "It's unbelievable. I was also surprised when I saw Gao Xian's body. This is why everyone suspected that the fourth wife was the murderer. It is impossible for normal people to pierce someone's heart with their fingers, but if it is a zombie or a monster... ..." She had a cold look on her face, obviously deeply afraid of this. A monster that can kill with one finger is indeed creepy, but the question is whether Gao Xian's strange death is just a coincidence.I expressed my doubts, and Zidie sighed and said, "I don't think so, because Gao Hao's situation is similar, she was poked to death with her fingers. Maybe her death will be even more terrifying."

At this point, we have come to a lychee garden.This lychee garden covers an area of ​​about two acres. Dozens of lychee trees in the garden grow very lushly, and they should be several decades old.Because the trees in the garden are lush, the light is very dim. Even though the place is not big, you can't see clearly what's going on inside. You can only see the swaying lights and shadows. 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 the uniform of the security force trotting over.When he ran to us, Zidie said to him: "Xiaojun, how is the situation?"

The security guard named Xiaojun looked terrified, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know what to say, Director Hua, you should come and see for yourself!" After that, he led us into the litchi garden. We came to the center of the Lychee Garden together. There were around a dozen people gathered here, and three of them were wearing the uniform of the Security Force, all of whom were in their early fifties.A man in his fifties with a full stomach and a fat brain came over when he saw us, and said to Zidie worriedly: "Director Hua, something happened again, you need to send a few more people to protect me!"

Zidie 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 dispersed consciously, and I followed her to check.There was a female corpse 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 corpse would have to be moved to a bright place. With the help of the dim light of the flashlight, I carefully observed the condition of the corpse, and the first thing I wanted to see was of course her chest.However, no fatal wound was found on her chest, not even blood.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 upwards, and after the light beam passed over the neck of the corpse, a shocked face appeared in front of my eyes. The deceased may have encountered some unexpected things before being killed.Then move the flashlight up, and a terrible scene appeared.On the temple of the deceased, there was a terrible blood hole, the size of a finger, which seemed to be poked out with a finger just like Zidie said.Blood was still coming out of the blood hole. I checked the body temperature on the neck of the deceased with my hand, and found that the body was not cold, and the time of death should be within two hours. From the surface alone, the deceased did seem to have been stabbed to death with a finger, but is this possible?Before Zi Die said that the heart of the first deceased was pierced with a finger, it was unimaginable enough, but now the deceased in front of him had his temple pierced with a finger.Although the temple is the thinnest and most fragile part of the skull plate, it is still protected by the skull. Even a master hero in martial arts novels may not be able to directly leave such a terrible wound on someone else's temple with his fingers .Unless the murderer is not a normal person, but a legendary zombie whose body is as stiff as steel... Zombie! Could it be that the fourth wife really cheated on the corpse and came back to kill her own children? Although this conjecture is unbelievable, according to the information obtained in front of us, it is indeed possible. However, the case cannot be judged so hastily, and every detail must be understood in detail.I therefore asked all those present who had seen the deceased last before she was alive, and who had first discovered her body. "Who is he?" The fat-bellied man pointed at me and asked Zi Die. Judging from his tone, he didn't seem to be friendly to me. Zidie 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 'King of Criminal Investigation Newcomers', I am investigating your village. I specially invited him from the provincial capital to help me with this case." She really knows how to brag, and she also mentioned my name that no one has remembered for a long time, probably from the experience of investigating the case of Longdong Village last time!A city dweller who suddenly appeared in such a remote area would be more or less deified, which would be of great help to subsequent investigations.However, what I can't figure out is why does she know that I have this title? Zi Die’s head-starting move seems to have a pretty good effect. The "fat stomach and brain full" who was not very friendly to me immediately came up to shake my hand and introduced himself: "My name is Gao Qiang, and I am the village head of Qianwen Village. , also..." He glanced at the corpse on the ground, "It's also her brother. I hope that Officer Mu will take care of him and settle the matter as soon as possible, so that the villagers don't have to worry about it every day." His words were really high-sounding, his two younger brothers and sisters died so mysteriously, I am afraid that it is he who is worried every day, not the villagers he talks about.However, this didn't affect me much. On the contrary, the more he was afraid, the more he would take the initiative to provide me with information.So, I began 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 Erqi. 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 one for himself. After taking a deep breath, he began to talk about what happened not long ago—— According to the customs of our village, the "February 7th" is to be done on the fourteenth day after a person dies. Apart from burning incense, candles and coins, the main thing is to clean up the old things in the house.In this way, even if the mother came back and saw that all the things she used in her lifetime were thrown away, she would no longer miss the world and go on the road with peace of mind. According to the common practice, the cleaning work is done by married women, and the men in the family are responsible for burning Ming coins and paper products.Because the fifth younger sister was in poor health, she didn't come back to do the funeral for her mother in person, but let her daughter Feifei come back, so she and the second younger sister were left to do the cleaning work, while the fourth and I burned Ming coins at the door. Everything was normal at first, and I didn't find anything wrong, but around ten o'clock, the second sister suddenly said that she had something to go home.According to the custom, we have to stay at my mother's house all night, and no one can leave until dawn.And the things hadn't been cleaned up at that time, she suddenly said that she was going home, of course I was a little upset, I said something to her casually, but she lost her temper, quarreled with me for a while and left. When she left, she said she was just going home and would come over soon, and her home was not far away, and she could walk back and forth in a few minutes.However, we waited for almost half an hour and didn't see her come back, so we called her home.At that time, it was Lao Chen who answered the phone. He said that the second sister hadn't returned all night. (He pointed to a middle-aged man wearing glasses and told me that he was the husband of the deceased, Chen Lu.) Because the third child had an accident a week ago, we were very afraid that she would also have an accident, so I immediately asked the police to The guys from the team went to find her together, but I didn't expect that something 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 discovered her together. The time was probably..." Gao Qiang thought for a while and continued, "It was probably around eleven o'clock!" "We found her and called Director Hua," Xiaojun said. According to the situation at the scene, especially the blood stains on the ground near the corpse, this should be the first scene of the murder.Moreover, there was only an hour between the time the deceased left the sight of the public and the discovery of the body, and the murderer probably didn't have 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, and when I looked at Chen Lu again, he also shook his head.Just when I was puzzled as to why the deceased would stroll around this place where there was no one around in the middle of the night, a man about forty years old, handsome and well-dressed sneered: "Maybe the third child brought her here !"
