Chapter 12 Stealing holes and burying oneself, judging people by things
Wu Ya smiled bitterly and sarcastically said to the captain, causing everyone present to laugh, but before everyone's laughter fell, a young policeman pushed the door in when there was a knock on the door.
"Report!"
"Xiao Huang, why did you come back, say, what's the matter?"
"Report to the king, there was an accident in Yuwang Pavilion, and the hole that was just discovered in the afternoon is gone. ”
"Gone, what's going on, tell me clearly!"
"Report, half an hour ago, that is, at about 5:30, the three of us who stayed behind the Yuwang Pavilion site found that the two-meter-deep thief hole left on the northwest side of the soil slope had disappeared when they routinely inspected the situation at the scene. There was no sign of burial at the scene, and no one entered the cordon during this time, and the robbery hole was like a ...... It's like ......"
"Like what?
"It's like growing up and burying yourself!"
Xiao Huang's last sentence came out, and the entire conference room was silent, and everyone couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the captain who was sitting at the head of the conference table.
"Ahem, what do you all think I'm doing? What I said just now is just conjecture, you don't really think that there is such a thing as a living soil in the world, do you? We are all communists under the guidance of Marxism-Leninism, so how can we believe this kind of superstitious thing. Do you say, the king?"
"Ahh ”
Wang Suo nodded unnaturally, and then turned to look at the young policeman standing at the door: "Xiao Huang, now go and write a report on this matter immediately, and record in detail all the things that the three of you who stayed on guard at the scene did and what you saw." Give it to me in half an hour, understand?"
"Understood!"
Xiao Huang saluted and turned to leave, and Wang Suo then ordered the others: "Yang Yang, go and make a few more copies of the suspect's information and send them to the comrades of the city bureau and other offices, and ask them to help pay close attention." Han Dong, take a few people to the villages and towns below to find people who have been in contact with this Lin Xueqiang, and find out what the other party has done locally. The rest of us go back to work and keep me informed of any progress on the landfill side. It's all gone. ”
At the sound of the king's order, most of the people in the conference room packed up their things and left. A moment later. Only Wang Suo, the captain, Wu Ya, and Lao Yu are still here.
There were fewer people, and the scene was much quieter, Wang Suo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the captain and said, "Team Xu." I'm sorry. The meeting broke up without consulting you. ”
"The king is gracious. If there is anything to say, you say it directly. ”
"Well, that's right. Team Xu, you are a full-time investigator of the theft of the ancient tomb. I've definitely seen a lot of strange things, so I can face them calmly. But we can't do it, how many years have passed, there have been no major incidents in this small city, but in the past two years, there have always been some strange cases, and I can't stand it anymore. This is not a few years ago, the case of the ancient tree hiding the corpse has just been solved, and it turned out to be a World War II mass grave, and the mass grave has not been dug yet, so you are here to investigate the theft of the ancient tomb. One after another, I am afraid that if it continues like this, it will make people panic, and the work will not be carried out well. ”
"Well, Wang, you have a point. ”
"Don't, Team Xu, you don't need to say these kind words, the above requires us to fully cooperate with you in the investigation of the case, and we will definitely not hold back. It's just that this kind of tomb robbery has not happened once in our neighborhood for decades, not to mention the institute, and even the whole city has no special experience. There is only a limit to what we can do, so if you don't see how this works, I'll recommend someone to you and let him accompany you throughout the process, or leave a middleman who is more convenient for us to communicate with each other, how about it?"
"Wangsuo, who do you want to recommend?"
"Wang Jun is a veteran policeman with ten years of work experience, and all cases of this supernatural nature up and down the city are handled by him. For example, the case of the ancient tree spitting out the corpse and the mass grave of World War II were all handled by him, and he recently solved a case of missing children that had been pending for ten years. I'm not afraid of your jokes, we all think that Wang Jun can be psychic, so there are fewer people in the institute who have contact with him, but he should be able to get along with Team Xu and your team. ”
"Well, since it is the person recommended by the king, then we trust it 100%. ”
"Hey, Team Xu, you're polite, we're also the tallest in the house, and we can only find such a person. Wang Jun is still on the side of the mass grave, and I will arrange for someone to replace him and report to you in a while, so let's make up our minds?"
"Okay, no problem. ”
"That's okay, Team Xu, you guys are busy first, and I'll take care of other things. ”
The king said hello and got up and departed.
Waiting for the other party to walk away, Wu Ya pouted and patted the table, frowned and said, "Captain, what do you think this director Wang means." Why is it that people are panicking, and why is it that they are not doing their work well? He doesn't know if he says that we are causing trouble for him? If he finds a psychic person to come over, I think he will treat us as practicing feudal superstition!"
"Ahem, okay, Wu Ya. Different people have different work priorities, we are from the tomb robbery task force, and we can't let a group of criminal investigation and economic investigation colleagues revolve around us all day long. However, I am quite interested in the person Wang Jun he said, and I must have a good chat when we meet. Okay, let's just talk about the three of us now, and I'll continue to talk about the current situation of this case. ”
The captain changed the topic, and Wu Ya and Lao Yu hurriedly sat up straight and concentrated their attention.
"As we said just now, Wu Ya was with me at the time and heard it clearly, and after telling this story, he sent us out. Therefore, I said that Lin Xueqiang contacted us with a purpose, which is definitely true.
In addition, the two of you also heard the situation that Comrade Xiao Huang came to report. The cave disappeared, and although I haven't gone to the scene to observe it yet, I don't think the comrades here will make jokes about this kind of thing, neglect their duties, or falsely report the military situation. So for the time being, it is certain that the thief hole was sealed by itself.
It can be seen that the target person we are looking for, the 'Cross Snake', has also encountered this situation.
The cross snake digs a thief hole and enters the ruins. The length or depth of this hole must also be at least 20 meters or more, why do we see only two meters? At present, the most reasonable explanation is that from the moment this robbery hole was excavated, the soil around its interior was slowly growing and filled, sealing the cave little by little, and by the time we found it, there were only the last two meters left. If it's an hour late, we might not find anything.
Therefore, it is very likely that the cross snake is now under the soil slope of the Yuwang Pavilion ruins, and this is the closest I have ever been to him in all these years!"
"Captain. Wait a minute!" Wu Ya heard this. I couldn't help it, and interrupted the captain's words.
"Captain, you've been talking for a long time, why are you still making assumptions around that non-existent sting. Didn't you say it yourself, it was just a myth?"
"Myths can sometimes actually happen in the real world. I've been doing this for a long time. It can be understood that sometimes myths and stories may also become the key to our research on the psychology of criminals and solving crimes. ”
The captain smiled. Then he turned his head to look at the other person and said, "Old Yu, have you found anything I asked you to check?"
"Found it. Lao Yu nodded and opened the folder in front of him. Turning to one of the pages, he read: "It is mentioned in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas, The Classic of the Sea" that 'the flood is monstrous, and the flood of the emperor's breath is not waiting for the emperor's life. The emperor ordered Zhu Rong to kill Kun in the suburbs of Yu. Kun resurrected Yu, and the emperor ordered Yu to lay soil to determine Kyushu.
This is the earliest account of the story of Kun and Xiyang, which mainly tells that in ancient times, the flood was monstrous, and the people were not able to make a living, and Emperor Yao looked for someone to control the flood, and everyone unanimously recommended Kun to govern. Knowing that he was about to shoulder a heavy responsibility, and he also believed in and thought about the suffering of the people, he first went to Heaven and begged the Emperor to recover the flood and give the people a peaceful life, but it did not work.
Without the permission of the Emperor of Heaven, Kun could only find a way to control the water by himself, and what he thought of as prime minister was to use the method of "blocking" to control the water, pad the soil of the highlands in the low places, and block the rivers.
However, after nine years of flood control, the floods still continue to flood. Just as he was bored, an owl and a turtle passed by and told him that he could steal the Heavenly Treasure, the Rest, to stop the flood.
Kun was well aware of the culpability of this move, but when he saw the people who were suffering, he did not hesitate to overcome all difficulties and steal the "rest of the soil".
Wherever it is scattered, it will form a high mountain to block the flood and automatically increase as the water rises.
The water control was effective, and it was at this time that the Emperor of Heaven knew about the theft. The Emperor of Heaven was furious and sent the fire god Zhu Rong to kill Kun in Yushan, and retrieved the soil, and the flood flooded again.
The Emperor of Heaven was afraid that the Kun would become a monster and make trouble, so he sent Zhu Rong again to take the sharpest "Wu knife" in the world to cut open Kun's stomach to see what was going on.
But a miracle happened, and a person jumped out of Kun's belly, and that was Kun's son Yu.
It was only then that the Emperor of Heaven understood that Kun's death was not blind to his death, not because he cared about his own life and death, but because he was worried that his ideals had not been realized, that the water control had not yet been successful, and that the people were still living in misery.
The Emperor of Heaven was moved by this, so he officially ordered Yu to take the soil to inherit his father's will, donate the soil, and stabilize the land of Kyushu.
After that, it is the story of Dayu's water control.
It's just that Dayu uses the method of 'sparse' to control the water, and has never used the soil, and whether it is the later myths and stories, or the historical records, there is no such thing as the soil.
Therefore, the final whereabouts of Xiyang have always been a mystery. Someone once said that if Dayu did not use the soil to control the water, and did not return the soil to the emperor, wouldn't it mean that the soil has been left in the people from beginning to end.
Combined with the legend of the Yuwang Pavilion site, it is not unreasonable for Lin Xueqiang to tell us that the soil slope was formed by resting soil. ”
After Lao Yu finished speaking, he looked up at the captain, but the captain didn't speak, but looked at Wu Ya first and asked softly, "Wu Ya, have you thought of anything related to the case we want to deal with?"
"Uh...... Captain, this is still a mythical story with no basis in here, what does it matter?"
"Well, it doesn't matter the story itself, but it doesn't matter if someone wants to use the story to achieve a certain appeal. Wu Ya, let me ask you, do people who build temples and temples, burn incense and worship Buddha have some kind of appeal in their hearts and want to achieve it through this form?"
"yes. ”
"Okay, then Lin Xueqiang, who is a monk, eats fasting and recites Buddha, and specializes in repairing the Yuwang Palace, does he have some kind of strong demand, and what is his appeal?"
"Well, I don't know. ”
"Ask for a son, haven't you guessed this? Lin Xueqiang's information is what you went to check, his daughter disappeared in the mainland ten years ago, and he has never had a second child in the past ten years, what do you say he has in mind?
"Like...... It seems that this is the truth. ”
"Well, Lin Xueqiang, I very much hope to have a child of my own, let's put aside any physical problems for the time being, at least there have been changes in psychology. And according to the traditional Chinese thought of 'what mountain to worship what Buddha, what to ask for what immortals', Lin Xueqiang should worship the most is to ask for Guanyin, but he has put so much effort into the palace of King Yu, and the mythical story of Kun and Xiyang is firmly in his heart, why is this?"
"This ......"
"I guess he has determined that he is infertile, and then pinned his hopes on the legend of Kun giving birth to a child by caesarean section! Of course, Lin Xueqiang would not be able to get a child even if he scratched his stomach, and everything he is doing now should be to find his missing daughter. He put himself in the position of Kun.
So let's take a look at the mythical story mentioned earlier, which mentions six characters. Lin Xueqiang is Kun, and Lin Xueqiang's daughter is Yu, so the person who told Lin Xueqiang this mythical story and made him completely convinced of this story is the Emperor of Heaven. And the people who took Lin Xueqiang to find the 'rest of the soil' and let him really pin his hopes on repairing the ruins of Yuwang Pavilion were the mythical owls and turtles.
Who the Emperor of Heaven, the owl and the turtle are, we don't know, so let's not mention it for the time being.
In the end, who is the Zhu Rong who directly killed Kun and helped Kun give birth to Yu, I have already guessed. ”
"Who?"
"Cross snake! The cross snake and Lin Xueqiang have long been connected, we all know this, but there has been no evidence. And this time, the cross snake ran to Lin Xueqiang's territory to make a robbery hole, and it was also in an abandoned site that was not an ancient tomb at all, don't you think it's strange? So, it must have been Lin Xueqiang who invited the cross snake to do all this. ”
"But, captain, Lin Xueqiang has already occupied the ruins of Yuwang Pavilion, why didn't he let the ten-step snake do this?"
"Because the time is not up. In myths, the body of the cang's body does not decay for a few years?"
"Three years. ”
"How long has it been since the Yuwang Palace was repaired?"
"It was repaired in October '05 and has been ...... since now It's exactly three years!"
"Yes, in fact, what we see today, Lin Xueqiang had already planned it three years ago!" (To be continued......)
