Tan Xiao didn't let others into the house, and the village party secretary and security director naturally couldn't ask for it. Tan Xiao did not touch the deceased, and the specific examination needs to be done by professionals. After a cursory look, they all died of excessive blood loss, and there was a river of blood on the ground, their characteristics were completely consistent, and there was no need to check again, but I don't know what they experienced before they died, and both of them had that expression.

Seeing that Tan Xiao was just looking at the two dead bodies on the ground, Zhao Daodao, who was outside the door, whispered by the door to remind Tan Xiao, "Officer, there is another one in the water tank." The voice was not loud, as if he was afraid of disturbing the two on the ground.

"Water tank?" Tan Xiao didn't know what he was talking about, this was the first time she had heard of this word.

"That's it. Zhao Daodao pointed to the door of the inner room.

Tan Xiao looked in the direction of his finger, there was a ceramic cylinder more than one meter high and seventy or eighty centimeters thick behind the door, and a wooden lid stood on the ground next to it. There seemed to be something in the tank, Tan Xiao walked in and took a look, and screamed "Mom" in fright.

"What's wrong?"

Hearing Tan Xiao scream, Ye Shu hurriedly entered the house and helped Tan Xiao, who was obviously frightened. When he looked into the water tank, he also trembled in his heart, only to see a child floating in the water tank, there was not a single cloth on his body, his skin was soaked and bloodless, and his shoulders were swollen, which looked scary and disgusting. No wonder Tan Xiaodu's expression, the child's appearance is indeed a bit unacceptable, but fortunately, Ye Shu has seen more disgusting ones in the "Songzhu Hall", and he has the ability to bear it, otherwise it will not work.

Tan smiled and walked out of the room, took a deep breath of fresh air, felt that he was alive again, then looked at the village party secretary and the security director, and asked, "Who found out first?"

The security director trembled and said: "I, I was the first to find out, I came to borrow something from the third child in the morning, and the result was ......" For him, the scene in the house was too exciting, and he was scared when he mentioned it.

"Who else has been in there?" Tan Xiao then asked.

"Secretary Li and Ding Feng have gone in, they are all found by me, and the others have not even let the courtyard in. ”

"Oh. Tan Xiao nodded, these two village cadres didn't lie, the scene was not badly preserved, but this family offended someone, and they were so vicious, they didn't leave a living mouth at all, and they were tortured and killed.

"Tan Xiao, come here. Ye Shu called Tan Xiao into the house, although the others were scared, they also followed, Ye Shu pointed to the two dead people on the ground and said: "You see, Geng San and his family are both flushing tanks, their eyes are full of panic and despair, someone must have tied them here and let them witness the whole process of their children being drowned, they are angry, desperate, but there is nothing they can do." ”

Tan Xiao looked at the dead on the ground, and then at the water tank, indeed as Ye Shu said, the dead man was staring at the water tank, even if he died, the expression on his face did not diminish in the slightest.

"Who is so cruel?" Tan Xiao turned around and asked the village party secretary and security director at the door: "How is the relationship between this family and their neighbors?

Li Qiang groaned for a while, grinned and said: "Xiao San'er and his daughter-in-law are ordinary croppers, and a little awkwardness with the neighbors is also a trivial matter, and they can't kill the whole family." ”

"Have you asked the neighbors of this house? Didn't you hear any sound last night?" Tan Xiao has also learned a little about the countryside these days, there is no nightlife at night, it is very quiet, this happened here, it is impossible that there is no movement.

Li Qiang and Ding Feng both looked at Zhao Daodao, the director of public security, and he should answer this question, because his house is next door, and his family hears it most clearly.

Zhao Daodao recalled for a moment and shook his head, "It was cold at night for the past two days, and when I went to sleep, I closed the doors and windows, and I didn't hear any movement." By the way, I heard his little handsome crying for a while at ten o'clock last night, usually his children are very naughty, thinking that they were in trouble again, but they didn't take it seriously, and they didn't hear the voice of adults. ”

Tan Xiao and Ye Shu glanced at each other, did not speak, and probably determined that the time of the crime was about ten o'clock last night, the child was crying, it should have been thrown into the water tank, and the two adults were stuffed with something in their mouths, how could they make a sound. Ye Shu wanted to ask why Zhao Daodao didn't come to take a look, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say anything. It's human nature that more things are better than less, and I really can't say anything about him.

Tan Xiao looked at the house, three houses, open to the east, the easternmost one is the kitchen and storage room, and the middle and west two are bedrooms. The conditions of this house are average, the house is very dilapidated, and it is a little dirty, and the things in the house are not even as good as Ye Shu's family, which has been unmanned all year round, but when he saw the child floating in the water tank, he still asked, "What are the conditions of his family?" ”

"Possibly. Li Qiang replied very quickly, and followed Tan Xiao's words, "They are close to the head of the village, there may be fugitives passing by or robbers who go directly to his house, and they don't give him money, but they are all poisoned, and the murderer runs away when he sees that things are not good." It must be such a situation, this must be a gang, and they came to his house when they entered the village, and they didn't find out what the conditions of his family were, so they restrained their whole family at once, otherwise the two of them would not ask for help......"

Hearing Li Qiang's words, not only Ye Shu grinned, but Tan Xiao also frowned, he was too capable of, and directly characterized the case without saying anything, but also directly said that the murderer was not from this village, and also injustice their village.

Tan Xiao didn't listen to Li Qiang's more and more outrageous words, went to the door to look, the door lock was intact, and the door had no traces of external impact, and went to the windows of each room to look, the windows of Geng San's house were closed, and when he returned to the house to look, the windows were all tethered, and the weather was cold last night, and his house didn't open the windows at all, and they were also not damaged.

"How did the murderer get in?" Tan Xiao muttered in his heart.

"Tan Xiao, you come here to take a look. Ye Shu greeted Tan Xiao in the middle room. The others also followed, the quilts on the kang were still spread, only the quilt on the side was slightly messy, the murderer moved his hand before the victim slept into the quilt, there were several pairs of shoes on the ground, all of which belonged to the victim, they had just been pulled down on the kang and tied to the kitchen.

"Isn't it really a person?" Tan Xiao also somewhat believed in the words of the village party secretary, and was able to control three people, two of whom were still in the prime of life, it seemed that it was really a gang, and it was difficult for one person to do it.

"Huh?" Ye Shu found an empty liquor bottle on the cabinet on the north side of the room.

Zhao Daodao saw that Ye Shu had been looking at the wine bottle, thinking that he was pretending to be following the charge, and said, "Is there a problem with this bottle? ”

"Oh. "Zhao Daodao is Ding Feng's brother-in-law and Ye Shu's elder, Ye Shu can't talk back. He didn't speak, but he just felt strange that someone was okay and left an empty wine bottle.

I went to the West House to take a look, maybe Geng San'er's daughter-in-law is not very diligent, the furniture in the house is all dirty, I don't know how long it hasn't been cleaned, it's just dirty, and nothing else has been found. Back in the kitchen, it was like going to hell, and the dead were still "staring" at it. There is nothing else in the kitchen, except for those sundries are pig feed and some firewood, maybe the rain has been in the past two days, and his firewood has been prepared a lot, but the firewood has not been rained, but now it is soaked in blood.

Back in the courtyard, Ding Feng handed each person a cigarette, Tan Xiao also asked for one, the smell of blood in the house was too strong, and she also had to watch the smell of smoke press.

Everyone was silent for a while, and the fifth child couldn't hold back his cigarette, "What's wrong with their old Geng family? Two days ago, Geng's second daughter-in-law hanged herself, and now Geng San's family was carried by the whole family, what's the matter? His ancestral grave is buried in the wrong place?"

After Li Qiang glanced at Tan Xiao, he glared at Lao Wu, "Where did you get so much nonsense? Geng's second daughter-in-law can't think about hanging, Geng's third family has met a villain, how can you pull someone's ancestral grave." ”

Lao Wu stuck out his tongue and didn't dare to stiffen his mouth, and asked again with a smile: "Secretary, Geng's second daughter-in-law can't think about it, because why can't she think about it?"

Li Qiang threw the cigarette butt on the ground and glared at Lao Wu fiercely, "What are you asking about? If you don't learn well, you will ask blindly all day long, and you will go around pulling your wife's tongue." ”

"Where...... old five smiled, and wanted to inquire, but Li Qiang didn't look at him squarely.

"What's going on?" This matter also attracted Tan Xiao's attention, whether it had anything to do with this homicide case or not, she couldn't let it go easily.

Li Qiang didn't speak, but Zhao Daodao smiled on the side, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that Geng's second daughter-in-law fell two days ago and injured her bones, plus she has other problems, taking advantage of Xiaolei's absence, she can't think about it for a while, so she hangs ......"

"That's right!"

Tan Xiao and Ye Shu glanced at each other, and finally knew why she couldn't think of hanging, it turned out that she didn't want to burden the child, but when she left, Xiao Lei became an orphan, so how could he live as a half-grown child, and the two of them sighed in their hearts.

There was a car noise outside the courtyard gate, and the car stopped outside the courtyard gate.

Li Qiang glanced out and greeted him, "Xiao Li, you're here, where is Zhang?"

Seeing two police cars outside the door, Ye Shu's face turned cold, he knew the policeman who came down first, it was from the township police station, but when he looked back, there were also two people, a man and a woman, in the other car, holding a toolbox in their hands, they seemed to be professionals, but they didn't see the person he hated.

"Secretary Li, Director Zhang's daughter-in-law is hospitalized, and he has been in the county for the past few days. Let me introduce to you, these two are Captain Wang and Forensic Doctor Chen of the Criminal Police Team of the County Public Security Bureau. ”

"Hello, hello, thank you for your hard work......" Li Qiang and the two politely said.

Tan Xiao found that Ye Shu's face became ugly after the police came, and gently pulled Ye Shu, Ye Shu shook his head slightly, and when he heard that the person surnamed Zhang from the police station did not come, his face softened a little.

The three policemen entered the courtyard, and when they saw that there were still so many people in the courtyard, Captain Wang's face sank, and he said very unhappily: "There are so many people at such a scene?"

Li Qiang smiled flatteringly and introduced to Captain Wang: "This lady is also a policeman, and she happened to come to our village to play, so we asked her to come over and help maintain the scene." ”

Tan Xiao didn't shake hands with the man, and directly took out his documents, "I'm Tan Xiao, the deputy captain of the Second Criminal Investigation Team of the Yanjing ** Branch." Tan Xiao came with Ye Shu this time, but she brought everything she thought was useful, and she cleaned the soil, including her ID card, household registration book, and work permit.

Seeing that the other party was indeed his peer, Captain Wang nodded slightly, although Tan Xiao was higher than his own level, he was old, and this was his own territory.

"What did you find?" asked Captain Wang as he walked.

"There were three deceased people at the scene, one died by drowning, two had their radial artery cut, and died of excessive blood loss......"

It didn't take Tan Xiao to introduce more, Captain Wang and Forensic Doctor Chen had already seen the situation at the scene, and the two of them took a breath at the same time, this scene was a bit beyond their imagination.
