Chapter 209: Tattoo (Child)
Jiang Chengzhi listened to my words, and obviously realized that behind his back, maybe like those who committed suicide, there had been some changes, the look on his face flashed a trace of panic, but he shook his head again, and said: "No, I have never had a tattoo, and I don't know why other suicides have tattoos." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info I wondered, is this the reason why I survived?"
Having said that, Jiang Chengzhi still took off his shirt and turned his back to us. Xiao Yang on his side let out an exclamation the moment his clothes left his body, and we all saw that on the upper part of the center of Jiang Chengzhi's back, there was a blue-gray mark the size of a few coins, which was very similar to the tattoo of the suicide on the Cao team's photo, but it was a little blurry, and it seemed that it was only a difference in depth and graphics.
Our reaction, Jiang Chengzhi with his back on his back, can also feel it. He sighed and said to himself: "Impossible, impossible, no one has tattooed me, I can be sure of that, Cao Ju, what kind of pattern do you think it is?"
Team Cao and I almost put our faces on his back, but the cyan mark was very dim, as if it had faded due to time, and it was difficult to tell what it was for a while. But almost at the same time, I could conclude that the mark was not a tattoo.
"Team Cao, tattoos are pierced into the skin with fine needles, and then the pigment is infiltrated into it, and after the surface of the skin is healed, the pigment remains in the skin to ensure that the tattoo will not fade or be washed off. But you see, there is not a single pinhole in this pattern, the surface of the skin is very smooth, and the color is like a human birthmark, not like the color that seeps in from the outside. ”
Team Cao listened to my words and nodded, "Lao Chang, you're right, it's not like a tattoo, it's like a birthmark, but have you ever seen anyone whose birthmark can look so regular and symmetrical?"
Team Cao said it well, the imprint on Jiang Chengzhi's back is completely symmetrical on the left and right, although we can't see what this is for a while, but at first glance, it is definitely an artificially designed obvious pattern symbol.
Team Cao took out the camera in the bag and took a few photos, I saw Jiang Chengzhi with his head down, panting, obviously very nervous, and hurriedly enlightened him: "Xiao Jiang, you don't have to have any psychological burden, this imprint is already very shallow, and it seems to be slowly fading over time." It's hard to tell what it is, but you shouldn't be in any danger, and the traces behind those who committed suicide are much clearer, which only means that you have passed the most dangerous time. ”
Team Cao took out a pen and paper from his bag, wrote his phone number on it, handed it to Jiang Chengzhi, and said: "I am always right, you are safe, if you feel any threat, call me directly, or find Cao Xiangdong." We'll have to go back and study it, and we'll keep you informed of any progress, and thank you for your cooperation with our work. ”
On the way back to Ji'an from Changchun, Team Cao handed over the car to Xiao Yang Kai, and he sat in the back seat, talking on the phone with Xiao Lei and Lao Yan for half an hour. But Team Cao kept listening, didn't interject much, hung up the phone, and was stunned for a long time before throwing the phone on the back seat, and began to speak slowly while pressing his temples with both hands.
"Xiao Lei has checked, and there are no pinholes on the tattoo of the suicide, it seems that it is really not a tattoo, but it is even more unlikely to be a birthmark, what is this? How did it appear?
"Uncle Cao, our local old people in Ji'an said that before liberation, there was a shamanic spell called a shamanic spell called a word seal. In the past, if there was something unclean in the house, and the shaman couldn't handle it, he would do a ritual, and the ghost fox would turn their request into a word and print it on the back of the person concerned, and if the wizard was high, he would be able to disassemble the word, figure out the meaning of the ghost fox, and try to meet its requirements, and the person concerned would be safe. Xiao Yang said to us as she drove the car, and the breeze passing through the window blew her shoulder-length hair loose.
"After liberation, feudal superstitions were broken, and those shamans no longer dared to do these things, and after a long time, gradually no one knew the word seal. But Uncle Cao, Uncle Chang, you said that the thing on the back of the suicide is not a tattoo, so could it be a one-word seal? Is it a mark made by a shaman?" After Xiao Yang finished speaking, he glanced at me sitting in the passenger seat, turned his head again, and drove intently.
"Xiao Yang, the shamanism you mentioned originated in the ancient Buyeo Kingdom and the Sushen Kingdom, and we always thought of shamanism as a primitive religion in the past, worshipping animism. But Liao Huansheng's view is actually very important, the Central Plains culture has influenced the nomadic people of Northeast China for thousands of years, including religion and even worldview. If there is a relationship between the four techniques of Buyeo and the secret art of the Mo family, I think we have to change the angle and look at the four techniques of Buyeo to drive the shadow and transmit the message, it may have another meaning. The shadow of the exorcism is not necessarily the shadow of a person, and the letter that is transmitted is not necessarily a letter. Maybe the word seal you are talking about comes from the four techniques of Buyeo, which has been passed down from one to the other, and has been demonized, and no one understands the technical components in it, but it has become a witchcraft of divination. "Xiao Yang doesn't seem to understand my words, but her character has a very subtle side, she can't figure it out, and she won't break the casserole to ask to the end, anyway, we figure it out, and we'll tell her sooner or later.
"Chang, there are two bad news and one good news, which one are you going to listen to first?" Team Cao, who had been quiet for a while, leaned back on the back seat and asked me.
"Good news, I guess I don't need me to do it, you have already fooled Zhou Cheng to the Northeast. The bad news, it is estimated that Xiao Lei has a problem retaking the tattoo photos in Beijing, of course, now we all know that it is not a tattoo. Is it that the tattoo can't be filmed anymore? There's also bad news I can't guess, Team Cao, you can say it. As I spoke, I lit a cigarette, and at this time, the sun was setting in the distant mountains, the trees on both sides of the road were gilded with a layer of gold, and the smoke of the small village not far away was curling, and everything was quiet and leisurely. Looking out the window, my nerves slowly relaxed.
Team Cao didn't seem to have my leisure intentions, and continued to mumble in the back seat. "Chang, sometimes I think it's my luck that we investigate the case together, but sometimes I think it's my biggest misfortune. It's not fun for you to guess anything, and your own thoughts are still hidden, and it's boring to use our failures to set off your profundity. ”
"It's been 20 years, you feel very bored, and your reaction is too slow, isn't it time for us to retire? Drink tea, watch the play, winter hot pot and summer noodles, how good is this kind of life?" I still looked out the car window, my eyes did not leave the sun, but Team Cao seemed thoughtful and did not answer immediately.
"Uncle Chang, you are good at everything, good at learning, good in mind, good in personality, sister-in-law should be a very happy woman. But you, you always like to solve all the problems by yourself, and you take a lot of things very seriously, so aren't you very tired?" Xiao Yang answered on the side, causing me to laugh, but Xiao Yang should not be able to hear the bitterness in my laughter.
"Xiao Yang, most of your evaluations are correct, but there is one thing wrong, you will know later. But I know what your Uncle Chang will answer you, it must be: sometimes the less people know, the happier they are. Team Cao snorted in the back, and then continued: "Lao Chang, tell you, and you don't know the bad news, Huansheng called just now, the mine disaster, they thoroughly investigated it today, Xiao Yang and his father reported the problem of the mine to the leaders of the mine." On a branch road of the mine, they opened up a huge underground space, and there was an underground fortification built by the Japanese below, which contained a lot of military supplies and ammunition. According to the investigation of the accident inside the mine, someone should have accidentally ignited the ammunition inside, causing an explosion. It seems that the Buyeo technique of the Mo family to move mountains and drive the sea is not correct, and the clue to the mining disaster may be broken. ”
"But if the Japanese arsenal exploded, why did the mine invite Tang Binwen and Xiao Fan to go down to the mine to check it out? This doesn't make sense at all?" Xiao Yang replied without thinking, I have to admire women's intuition can often understand the essence of things.
"Xiao Yang is right, Team Cao, we don't know about Huansheng yet, I have a problem, I don't understand the situation, I won't draw conclusions, I think you can still get a call from him in a while. "As I spoke, it was completely dark outside.
At the request of Team Cao, we stopped on the side of the road, and Team Cao let Xiao Yang go to the back row and drive by himself, and it was still too hard for the lesbians to drive at night. Before Team Cao could restart the car, his cell phone rang as promised.
Team Cao pressed the speakerphone on the phone, and I guessed correctly, Liao Huansheng's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Team Cao, most of the written materials of the year can not be found, and there is only a small part of the archives in the mine, and an old comrade in the mine office has just taken us to the warehouse to rummage through it again and found useful things. Two months before the mining disaster, the miners found the underground arsenal of the Japanese army, but there was a locked iron gate inside, and after the miners smashed open the iron door, they found that it was full of large bluestone tablets more than one zhang high, there were more than a dozen pieces, and there were some symbols and patterns that no one recognized, perhaps primitive hieroglyphs, but the leaders of the mine believed that the Japanese hid these stone tablets in the warehouse and locked them, but the stacked munitions were not locked, at least it proved that these stone tablets were very important, and it was best to ask the city cultural relics bureau to take a look. ”
"But in those years, not long after the Gang of Four was smashed, the city was busy with production and construction, and did not attach much importance to cultural matters, but asked Ji'an County to transfer people to go down and check it out. All the matters of the monument were handed over to Tang Binwen and Xiao Fan, but they did not expect that the monument had not been expanded, and there was a mining disaster. But I'm afraid that more clues are gone, where have you been? Lao Feng and I will visit the old people in the mine again, as well as the families of the victims, and we will inform you at any time if we find anything. ”
"Huansheng, thank you for your hard work, I and Lao Chang have also gained, it is estimated that we will arrive in Ji'an in two hours, and we will meet at the hotel." ”
