Dig, dig with what?

By hand?

Still in the middle of the night.

Are you kidding!

"Can't you wait until dawn?"

"With such a question stuck in my head, I can't sleep until I figure it out."

"You're pregnant, dear!"

Jing Sa had broken thoughts in the back, but he didn't hear it.

In a hurry, the three of them came to the camphor tree in the backyard of the Du family.

It was dark at night, in this uninhabited house, and it was a corpse pit-like storage zài, and all kinds of strange thoughts rushed to Jing Sa.

It's already crazy during the day, let alone this big night.

"If you're afraid, stand aside and help me with the flashlight!"

Seeing that Wan Wan insisted on doing it, Jing Sa immediately pointed the finger at Cao Zhen, "Senior brother, don't stand stupidly, speak, help me persuade Wan Wan." ”

"Then I also have the ability to persuade her, she is the consultant of our bureau, and in terms of position, she is older than me."

Jing Sadun had a feeling that he had taken his senior brother badly.

Cao Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong, he admired Yingwan's reasoning very much, because she had never made a mistake, and now the case has entered a bottleneck again, and what she needs most is her kind of flash of inspiration.

"Where are you going to start digging from?" This tree grows so thick and has many roots that it's really hard to dig up.

"There." She pointed somewhere, "It looks like the soil is soft." ”

"Okay!"

Jing Sa reluctantly shouted, "What are you doing?" How do you dig without tools? ”

Cao Zhen smiled, "When I came in the morning, I found that there was a gardener's room in the backyard, and there should be shovels. "The Du family has planted a lot of plants, and they must have tools to shovel soil.

The two of you have a sentence, and I have obviously united the front and directly ignored Jing Sa.

Jing Sa didn't dare to go back alone, holding a flashlight and shining on the roots, it didn't look like a good place to bury the corpse.

"Why, there are corpses that are also hidden in the secret room, what's the benefit of burying them here?"

The secret room of the Du family is so hidden, it is the best place to hide the corpse, such a good place is not hidden, you have to bury it under the tree, isn't this asking for a dead end, in case there are wild dogs and wild cats smell the smell and dig it out, won't it be exposed?

"I'm not looking for a corpse that was used to donate organs."

Jing Sa glared, "You're starting to say things I don't understand again." ”

"Rest easy! When I dig it, I'll tell you more about it, maybe I guessed wrong. ”

Cao Zhen found two shovels in the gardener's room, took one for himself, and gave the other to Jing Sa.

"What are you doing for me?" It's not like she's going to dig it.

"Duanmu is pregnant, are you embarrassed to let the dry body live?"

Jing Sa was speechless and glanced at Cao Zhen, "Those who usually shout at me don't pity me, and they are gentlemen to Wanwan, favoring one over the other!" ”

"Yes, you are my subordinate, she is my commander, can it be the same?"

"Cut!" Jing Sa reluctantly picked up the shovel, "Let's talk about it first, just dig for half an hour, and if we can't dig it, we'll go back, this big night is really scary." ”

It's not that she's timid, it's that the atmosphere is terrifying.

Cao Zhen stretched out his hand and pushed her, "You girl is really going back more and more, if you have time to talk nonsense, don't dig it up quickly!" ”

Jing Sa stuck the shovel into the soil, puffed up his cheeks and said, "Yes, yes, yes, this is digging, unscrupulous leader." ”

The two of them, under the command of the camphor tree, dug up the soil under the camphor tree.

Such a large tree must have intertwined roots underneath, and when a shovel goes down, half of it is soil and half of it is roots, and it is very laborious to dig it up.

While the two were digging, the light of the flashlight shone on the trunk of the tree, and the handwriting was deeply engraved, even after decades of wind and sun, it was still clearly legible.

As the excavated soil gradually piled up, the roots of the tree were slowly revealed, Jing Sa was reluctant, and he still worked very hard, and after a while, he was sweating profusely, and he slammed a shovel down, bumped into something, and his hand immediately shook and numb.

"What's it, so hard?" She let go of the shovel and blew on the redness of her palm.

Cao Zhen hurriedly came over, "Got it?" ”

She shook her head, "I don't know, it's too dark to see clearly!" ”

She pointed the flashlight at the place where she was digging, the thick roots of the tree were long and long, and they had been deeply rooted, sucking the soil like a living snake, and the halo moved slowly at the roots, and the roots of the trees were black, and some insects living in the dirt were stimulated by the light, squirming their fat bodies, and desperately burrowing into the soil.

The roots of the tree are thin and thick, most of the thick ones are outside, and the thin ones are inside, when Jing Sa digs, he shovels off a few thin roots, and they are scattered on the soil, and the broken roots are vaguely entangled in something, wrapping the thing tightly in a circle and circle.

She shone her flashlight, revealing her bones in the light.

"Sure enough!"

Jing Sa had a black line on his face, "Oh, my mother!" "I've really dug up something I shouldn't have dug up.

It was a human skull.

It was tightly wrapped around the roots of the tree, like it was wrapped in Medusa's hair, and it lay there weakly, silently.

"Who is so unlucky, dead and buried here as nutrients for trees, it's just inhumane."

"Compared to the specimens in the secret room, it's good that I'm buried in this place, at least in the ground."

The fallen leaves return to the roots, and the soil is not settled.

"Cao Zhen, let's see if you can take out the bones."

Cao Zhen pulled out the roots of the tree wrapped around the skull with his bare hands, "It's very tightly wound, I can't take it out without special tools, if I force it, I'm afraid of destroying the evidence." ”

It was clearly a human skeleton, and being buried under a tree meant it was a murder.

Since it is a murder case, it is better to leave it as it is and wait for the forensic doctor to identify and compare

It is better to wait for a forensic doctor to identify it.

She came closer, and with the help of a flashlight, she shone deep into the roots of the tree, which were so tight that there were faint other bones in them, but they were buried deeply, not sure if they were complete, and it should have been the roots of the tree that separated the torso from the skull when they were growing.

"Duanmu, do you think this is a man or a woman?"

Although there is only one skull, that is, a skull, it is not broken and very complete, and it is not difficult to identify whether it is male or female.

The skull is also very important in the process of gender determination, because the personal and gender characteristics of a person's face are more obvious, and these characteristics are mainly determined by the characteristics of the skull.

Before sexual maturity, the sex difference in the skull is smaller, and by puberty, the sex difference begins to gradually increase, and in adulthood, the sex difference is very significant.

She is not a forensic doctor, but the basics of forensic medicine are still clear.

"LOOKING AT THE SHAPE, THE SKULL IS LARGER, THE VOLUME SHOULD BE ABOUT 1450ML, THE FACE IS NARROW AND LONG, THE FOREHEAD IS SLANTED, THE EYEBROW ARCH IS PROMINENT, THE EYE SOCKET IS LOW, SLIGHTLY SQUARE, THE UPPER EDGE OF THE ORBIT IS BLUNT, THE MANDIBULAR ANGLE IS APPROXIMATELY RIGHT ANGLE, AND THE MANDIBLE ALVEOLAR IS PROMINENT, IT SHOULD BE A MAN."

Cao Zhen and Jing Sa, as criminal policemen, often deal with forensic doctors, and they are also very familiar with the forensic doctor's identification methods, and they both nodded at Yingwan's judgment.

Jing Sa squatted down and added: "The eye sockets are prominent, the face is narrow but the chin is slightly shorter, it should be Asian." ”

"That's right, and according to the seam of the skull, it has not completely healed, which proves that the deceased is very young, should be 17-25 years old, but this is only a preliminary judgment, if you can see the grinding teeth, you should be able to judge more correctly."

Each tooth of a human being has its own laws of development, and this process has a relatively stable time range, which can be used as a basis for judging age, in addition, the teeth will be worn out in the course of life, and this wear and tear can also be used to infer the age of the tooth owner.

However, it is indeed easy and fast for experienced people to judge gender and age through visual observation, but due to the large subjectivity, it is inevitable that there will be misjudgment, so it is still necessary to wait for a professional forensic doctor to identify it.

Because the forensic doctor will make a characteristic judgment from many different places, such as the sternum, sacrum, pelvis, etc.

If the skull can be taken out, it can be further inferred from the gap between the teeth, the posterior transverse seam, and the middle palatal seam.

Although it has not yet been officially determined by the medical examiner, she has already made her own determination.

"If I'm not mistaken, this man should be Yang Xiao."

Cao Zhen looked at her in surprise, "You said this is Yang Xiao?" But isn't he missing? The same is true of the information found by Li Shangong.

"Disappearances and death are only literal, and only those who find them know what they actually do, and it is clear that we are not finding a living person, but a person who has been dead for a long time."

According to the age of this skeleton, if he is really Yang Xiao, then he has been dead for almost forty years.

"How could Yang Xiao die in the Du family, didn't he have a holiday with Du Fu, and Du Fu also kicked and injured him."

"What if he and Douff are lovers?"

"Huh?"

The answer was so unexpected.

She said again: "Ah Jing, do you remember what Huang Zhaodi said about when Du Fu asked her to borrow money?" ”

"I remember, it was two months before Duf's parents died, that is, after the Spring Festival......"

She nodded and looked at Cao Zhen, "When did Yang Xiao disappear?" ”

"It's ...... after the Spring Festival," Cao Zhen suddenly thought of it.

The time of Yang Xiao's disappearance and the time when Du Fu borrowed money happened to be the same period of time, and Yang Xiao also stole all the money of the students in the same dormitory before he disappeared.

"Wait, that's not right, didn't you say that Du Fu had an affair with the painting teacher, why did he become Yang Xiao again."

"According to Huang Zhaodi's statement, I did think so at the beginning, but this is not the case, Du Fu and Yang Xiao should be a couple, but they hid it from everyone, I think Du Fu kicked him, there should be another hidden reason, if the two do not have such a relationship, Yang Xiao's bones cannot appear under this tree engraved with Du Fu's name."

In a sense, this tree represents Douff, or her dowry, which means a lot, if it weren't for the person in his heart, how could he be buried here.

"What's the matter with the painting teacher?"

"Trick, I guess every time Du Fu goes to learn to paint, he actually goes to see Yang Xiao secretly, but in school, the two have never had any contact."

Huang Zhaodi didn't know what Du Fu did after she went to the painting class, so it was not surprising that she didn't know, which also led to the misunderstanding at the beginning.

"Duanmu, if it's just like you said, wouldn't it be very contradictory for Du Fu to kick and hurt Yang Xiao?"

"No, it's not a contradiction, let's assume that the two are in love, so what kind of thing do you think will make Du Fu ruthlessly kick his beloved, then there is only one possibility, Du Fu is protecting him, in order to keep him away from him."

"Are you saying that Yang Xiao may know about the Du family's organ trafficking?"

"Ten of you!"

Cao Zhen was silent, this is indeed a very logical statement.

Because after that, Yang Xiao did change schools and left Huangjiatang, and his various stubbornness and truancy at school were also explained, and he was trying to go back to Du Fu in every possible way.

In the end, the two may meet successfully, and then make an appointment to elope together.

In this way, borrowing money and stealing money are also well explained.

But is that really the case?

Wouldn't it be too mysterious?

She knew that they would find it unbelievable to say that suddenly, but it was already the most logical possibility she thought.

"Again, this is just my personal judgment, and the final conclusion will have to wait for the forensic doctor to identify the skeleton and the clues on the other side of the painting classroom." Jing Sa was not as calm as her, and asked: "If this is really Yang Xiao, and as you said, he and Du Fu are a couple, then who killed him?" It can't be Douff himself. ”

"Of course it can't be Douff."

"Who else?"

Yang Xiao died in the Du family, if it wasn't Du Fu who killed him, then who else?

It would only be Douff's father or mother.
