Chapter 55: The Mountain Temple is Different! Two
"There are more than 30 households, most of them, only two, one was fled here at the end of the Qing Dynasty, surnamed Yu, and the other is the surname of Tom who settled here earlier than us! Minority. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info", Liu Dalu is very talkative, and he will say it clearly when Zhou Yu asks.
"Oh? How do you know they predate you? Li Zhihai was very curious. Zhou Yu and Liu Dalu carried their things, and he went into battle lightly and followed behind the two.
"We have a genealogy, and it's very clear." , Liu Dalu replied.
Out of the village, Liu Dalu, who was leading the way in front, suddenly half of his thigh fell into the snow, "Two police officers, in this case, it's better for us not to go." Walking to the mountain temple, it is estimated that the sky will be dark. And it's not very safe on the road. ”
, Liu Dalu said worriedly.
"It's okay, Brother Liu, didn't we bring sleeping bags? If we really can't finish it, let's spend the night with the mountain god! Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"Officer Zhou, you are so open-minded!" , Liu Dalu is the first time to encounter such a casual policeman. The group of people who came in front of them all wore strained faces all day long, and everyone looked suspicious.
It's really difficult, only a few hundred meters away, not only Liu Dalu, but even Zhou Yu began to pant slightly, and Li Zhihai, who was stepping on the footprints of the two people behind him, was already sweating on his forehead! The white breath exhaled from his mouth almost confused his glasses.
"Zhou Yu, rest, take a break, right?" , Li Zhihai gasped and said.
"Officer Li, walk a few dozen meters further, do you see that snowdrift in front of you? It was a rock, and there was certainly not much snow, so sit there and rest. Liu Dalu pointed not far in front and said. It's not far from the way up the mountain.
"Two police officers, do you have to go up today? In two days, maybe the snow will melt a little, and then it will be easy to leave. Liu Dalu continued to speak.
"Time waits for no one! Brother Liu, do you see the place in front of you? It's like a forest, but are there big trees under that huge snowball? Zhou Yu suddenly saw snow balls standing in the white sky at the foot of the hill not far away, and asked in surprise.
"That's right! It was a forest, full of cedars. The largest one is called the Phoenix Beauty Tree! According to genealogical records, when our ancestors surnamed Liu fled here, it was what it is now. And what's even more amazing is that its root is embedded in the tree with five ancient characters of unknown age and font. Our ancestors heard from the Thom people that those five ancient characters were called the Phoenix Beauty Tree, so this title has been passed down like this! And this tree is also a famous tree in the nearby Shili Eight Village. Many young people fall in love, and they are all under the tree, let the sacred tree be a witness! My wife and I also made a vow under the sacred tree to marry her home! Hehe", when Liu Dalu thought of his wife later, he laughed happily.
"Oh? Is there such a spirit? Then a must visit once! After listening to Liu Dalu's words, Zhou Yu's heart suddenly beat violently a few times. Some images appeared inexplicably in his mind, as if there was something waiting for him there!
"The sixth sense is back!" , Zhou Yu's eyes froze, and his eyes sparkled staring at the phoenix beauty tree that had turned into a huge snowball in the distance!
Similar to Liu Dalu's prediction, when the three of them arrived at the mountain temple, it was already in the afternoon. It's impossible to rush back at night, and when I came, I told the criminal police on duty, but I wasn't worried about Yiba Enhai and they were in a hurry.
I talked to Tao Ranran on a satellite phone, and Zhou Yu and Li Zhihai were very happy to learn that Professor Tao was starting to improve.
"That's the only good news I've heard in the last few days." , Zhou Yu said with a wry smile.
"Get to work! It's best to finish it today and go back early tomorrow morning. Li Zhihai was tired just now, but as soon as he arrived at the crime scene, he was immediately full of energy!
Liu Dalu just stood under the eaves and did not go in according to Li Zhihai's instructions. Zhou Yu looked around the temple, and although the snow did not completely cover the roots of the wall, he did not find it.
Lifting the windshield, Zhou Yu looked at the clay statue opposite.
A very ordinary statue of the god, clay sculpture, golden body, dressed in bright yellow robes, with a majestic face, is placed on a stone platform. What is somewhat peculiar is that it stands to reason that the words of the mountain god should be a husband and wife, and the main god is an old man with a hoe or a cane. But no matter how you look at this statue, it is a middle-aged man with a strong physique. And it's holding a sword in its right hand, and most of what it's holding in its left hand is missing, and it's faintly visible, it's a rope-like thing.
There are also two lower stone platforms on the left and right, on which something should be placed, but it is also missing!
"It's weird!" , Zhou Yu's mind was churning violently, and the statue opposite made him feel very strange, but he just couldn't think of a problem there! Just across a layer of window paper, there is still an opportunity left!
After a while, Zhou Yu felt that he was about to freeze, and Liu Dalu saw that he didn't move for a long time and pushed him, and then woke up. "What's wrong, Officer Zhou?"
"It's okay, think of something. Can you come in? Zhou Yu smiled at Liu Dalu, looked at Li Zhihai, who was carefully collecting evidence traces, and shouted.
"Put on your case! I don't want your footprints to be in there just yet! Li Zhihai said lightly.
Wearing a protective cover, Zhou Yu crossed a threshold more than ten centimeters high, and walked inside lightly, this time in front of the statue, he felt its strangeness.
"It seems that you can only find out when you go back to the village." , bowed his head and whispered, just in time to see the sacrificial table.
There are three porcelain plates on it, which I think were originally used as tributes. The middle one still has a faint red mark!
"Originally, both heads were placed on a plate in the middle. However, I have seen the records of Forensic Doctor Xu, the first skull, there is no trace in the plate! Not even a trace of blood was left! Li Zhihai saw Zhou Yu staring at the plate and said to him.
"This can only mean one thing, before the murderer put the head on the plate, the blood vessels of the skull were completely frozen!" , Zhou Yu replied.
"And one more point! It won't be too long. I once did an experiment where I put a completely frozen pig's trotter in a freezer at minus 5 degrees Celsius, and after three hours, light water stains began to appear. And the temperature that day, at night, Forensic Doctor Xu said that it was about minus seven degrees! According to the villager who collected the head, there were no water stains on the plate! Li Zhihai looked at Zhou Yu with bright eyes.
"You're saying that the killer didn't put the head in it for more than three hours? But you must know that Liu Laosi's family arrived here at noon. And there is no trace on the road because of the snow at night! Zhou Yu said stunned.
"Even if he is given an extra hour, he will not be able to leave quietly without a trace, unless he will walk in the snow without a trace! So? The corners of Li Zhihai's mouth curled.
