Chapter 43: Three Graves 06
Places like universities will not change much in the past 100 years.
Actually, Lin Chen didn't have too deep a college plot, but when he passed by the school gate, he felt sorry if he didn't go in to have a look.
In the early morning, the mist has not lifted, and the campus is quiet, except for the sound of birdsong.
Lin Chen led the congregation to walk on the ancient brick and stone road, along a path, and walked towards the depths of the campus.
At the end of the path, you can vaguely see an old-fashioned Republic of China building, and the roadside trees are abundant, covering most of the scenery in the distance.
"Your headmaster must not be a businessman." The torturer put his hands in his pockets, walked in the alley, and suddenly spoke.
"Huh?" The spring breeze was very soft, and Lin Chen was blown a little confused, and he didn't understand the meaning of Xing Conglian's words for a while.
"This kind of place doesn't charge 20 yuan a ticket, it's a pity."
Lin Chen thought it was funny: "It's not so exaggerated." โ
"Of course it's good to be able to teach you a place."
Lin Chen looked up at him.
The torturer's eyes were lowered, and his eyelashes fluttered gently by the wind, making his eyes gentle and sincere.
Lin Chen sighed, this person has a very powerful ability, that is, he can say very sensual words frankly, so that the people who listen to it feel that it should be so, so at this time, there seems to be no better way than sighing.
He stood still, trying to speak, when suddenly a siren sounded in the distance, piercing through the dense forest.
The voice was urgent, and it seemed to be moving, so it could be judged that it was a police car moving at high speed.
The two looked at each other.
Lin Chen preemptively said: "It's not my fault, you said you came first." โ
The convict laughed helplessly.
Following the sound of the siren, the two soon came to the lake.
Far away, you can see that outside the small forest by the lake, there is a bright yellow police belt, and police officers in navy blue uniforms are busy entering and exiting it.
And at the end of the woods, under the banyan tree, there seems to be a forensic doctor in a white robe squatting.
Not far away, cooking began in the cafeteria, and the smell of fragrant rice filled the air.
Occasionally, students pass by the cordon, looking at the frequent entry and exit of the police, with strange and curious looks on their faces, and the security guards stand on the outermost side of the cordon, driving away the students who want to watch.
Lin Chen glanced at the torture conglian, and the two of them quickened their pace.
Coincidentally, when he walked to the edge of the woods, the criminal cong company found that the person who led the team to the police was the deputy captain of the Yongchuan criminal police team, and it was the one he was going to hand over the new information on Yang Dianfeng's case.
The two looked at each other, and they were surprised by each other.
"Old Torture, why are you here!" The deputy captain's surname is Jiang, and he is a very arrogant man.
The criminal conglian patted Lin Chen's shoulder and introduced to the other party: "Lin Chen, the new consultant of our bureau, graduated from Yongchuan University, it's not early today, let's go to the school first, since you are here, I will go to the car and bring you the information of the case." The convict said very politely, but did not ask what was going on in the grove.
"The one who did the 'candy thief' with you?" Deputy Captain Jiang glared in surprise and whispered a stab at the Torture Company.
Seeing that Jiang Chao's reaction was so mysterious, Xing Conglian glanced at Lin Chen and said with a smile: "Yes, what?" โ
"Awesome, benefactor!" Jiang Chao took Lin Chen's hand and shook it twice, "Come in, come in." โ
Lin Chen saw more than too many cautious policemen, and suddenly met a person as enthusiastic as Jiang Chao, but he was a little unaccustomed: "At the scene of the crime, let's go in, isn't it convenient?" โ
"What so many rules!" Jiang Chao waved his hand, lifted the cordon, and pulled Lin Chen inside.
The convict patted him on the shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered, "Fang Zhiming's former comrade-in-arms." โ
Lin Chen nodded, as if he understood something.
โโโ
On the inside of the woods, near the lake, is a lush banyan tree, with a verdant and lush canopy, which gently sways when the lake breeze blows.
Lin Chen stood under the tree, a little surprised.
This banyan tree is one of the most beautiful scenery in the minds of all Yongchuan students.
He remembers that when he was in college, many of his classmates liked to read books or fall in love under this tree, because it was not too cold or too hot, and he could blow the water breeze and read a few pages of a book, or take his lover's hand and say a few whispers. And because the trunk of this banyan tree is thick and the shade is thick, so that every qiฤ under the tree will appear quiet and peaceful, even including the person lying in the soil pit under the trunk.
It was a young man, his skin was a little dark, his clothes were so dirty that he couldn't see his original color because he had been buried in the soil for too long, his legs were straight, his hands were folded โกโก his chest, he looked very ordinary, his eyebrows were very thick, his lips were a little thick, almost the kind of face that no one would notice when he came to him, but everyone present couldn't help but keep their eyes on his face for a long time when they saw him at first sight.
Lin Chen stared silently at the man lying in the dirt.
The expression on that face was so comfortable and comfortable, as if the place where he was lying was not a cold and hard pit, but the warmest bed in the house, and at this moment, he seemed to be just pillowing on a feather pillow, having a good dream without waking up.
"The deceased's name is Li Sa, and he is a worker in the logistics department of your school." Jiang Chao was in Lin Chen's ear and said.
As he spoke, he walked over to the edge of the pit, where the medical examiner was crouching on the ground doing a preliminary autopsy.
"How?" Jiang Chao asked.
"It's weird, it's very weird." The medical examiner frowned and withdrew his hand from the back of the deceased's neck, "No external injuries have been found for the time being, and it doesn't look like poisoning." โ
"Oh!" Jiang Chao's eyes lit up, "It's good if it's not a murder!" โ
The forensic doctor glanced at him: "What do you want?" โ
"There are no external injuries, and it's not a homicide, it's probably an ordinary case of throwing a corpse." Jiang Chao said as he looked up at the sky, as if he was making a wish.
"Hehe, may I ask Team Jiang, if he can still breathe when he is buried, can he also throw his body?" The forensic doctor said coldly.
Hearing this, Jiang Chao's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe what he heard: "What is the cause of death?" โ
"Preliminary judgment, it is mechanical asphyxiation."
The so-called mechanical asphyxia refers to a physiological dysfunction that obstructs the human body from breathing due to external force, resulting in the death of the human body due to lack of oxygen.
In layman's terms, it was suffocated.
Jiang Chao looked depressed, but the forensic doctor still didn't let him go: "The deceased's neck has no external injuries, which means that he has not been hanged or strangled, I have examined his mouth and nose, and there are no obvious surface abrasions and subcutaneous intradermal bleeding, that is to say, he was not suffocated to death, so ......"
"It's buried alive." Lin Chen said lightly.
Jiang Chao gasped.
The forensic doctor turned back sharply: "Who are you!" โ
The torturer took two steps and stood beside Lin Chen: "We are from the Hongjing Brigade." โ
"Oh, peers." The forensic doctor squatted on the ground, looked at Lin Chen with great interest, and asked, "What do you think?" โ
"Can you ask about the time of death?" Lin Chen's gaze fell on the hands on the deceased's chest.
"Around 3:00 a.m. on the 12th." The medical examiner answered.
"Since it is buried alive, then there are two possibilities." Lin Chen paused, and then said, "First, he was buried in the soil after he fell into a coma, and second, he lay down in this tomb when he was alive. โ
"Which do you think is the most likely?"
"If it's the first one, then he should be able to detect the components of a large dose of sleeping drugs in his body, and if it's the second ......"
"What about the second one?"
"It's impossible for a person to do it perfectly, dig a pit, lie down in it, and then bury yourself, so on the spot, are there shovels and other tools?" Lin Chen's tone became cold.
"I didn't ...... No. Jiang Chao subconsciously answered his question.
Lin Chen lowered his head slightly, pondered for a moment, and asked the forensic doctor, "Can I see his hand?" โ
At this point, the gaze in the forensic doctor's eyes has changed from sexual flavor to appreciation.
He stood up, took out a pair of rubber gloves from his pocket, handed them to Lin Chen, and then took two steps back to give up his position.
Lin Chen squatted down, put his hand into the dirt pit, and gently held the deceased's wrist.
Compared with the comfortable and calm face, the hands of the deceased looked extremely hideous and terrifying.
His fingernails were shattered, his hands were covered in wounds, brown blood mixed with dirt, and solidified on his hands.
"How?" The forensic doctor stood beside Lin Chen and asked.
"I have an idea." Lin Chen put down the deceased's hands and took off his gloves, his gaze still fixed on the dirt pit on that side.
"Don't sell it."
"This grave was dug up by himself."
He spoke very slowly, almost word by word, and said something that made everyone present tremble.
There was silence.
The medical examiner took a deep breath and said, "Young man, you really dare to think about it." โ
"Can you dig some more?" Lin Chen interrupted him, turned his head, raised his hand, and compared the approximate height.
"Isn't the pit big enough?" The medical examiner asked.
"I mean, take out the dead and dig some down."
โโโ
Shovel after shovel of dirt was quickly shoveled out.
Torture Conglian and Lin Chen stood by the lake, looking at the trees from afar.
"Didn't I just transgress too much?" Lin Chen thought about it and asked.
After all, the criminal conglian had already reminded him that in the Chen family's territory, he still had to be careful in everything.
Hearing him say this, the torturer Lian smiled dumbly: "No, Lao Jiang doesn't care about these people, but you, why are you so nervous?" โ
"The situation may not be good." Lin Chen said.
Under the banyan tree, when the excavated soil had piled up to knee height, the police officer in charge of digging suddenly stopped.
He held the shovel in one hand and turned his head stiffly, seeing this, Jiang Chao hurriedly came over, and a broken banyan root ran through the deep pit, but other than that, there seemed to be nothing abnormal.
"There's something down there." The officer threw down the shovel, lay down on the edge of the pit, and used his hands to remove the thin layer of soil, and a piece of bright red cloth was suddenly exposed.
The original shout broke the communication between the criminal conglian and Lin Chen, and a policeman with dirty hands rushed to the two of them, his teeth trembling.
"Bottom...... Underneath, there's one more person! โ
