Chapter 20: Corpses
The place where he met Xiao Liu from the police station was Xiaoya Village at the foot of the mountain, Murong Fei found that this village was actually the only way to the top of the world, and he drove by here yesterday, but he didn't pay attention to it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Murong Fei got out of the car and found that Xiao Liu was already waiting there, and he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart, Xiao Liu looked slippery, and he didn't meet the general standards of the criminal department at all, but he was not sloppy in his work.
When Xiao Liu saw that Murong Fei and them were coming, he smiled and said, "It's this old man." ”
Only then did Murong Fei notice that there was a slightly chubby old man standing next to Xiao Liu, his hair was as white as snow, but he had a smooth and delicate face, and he suddenly thought of a word, called Tong Yan Hefa, maybe it couldn't be more appropriate.
"Hello, I'm from the Criminal Division."
"Anyway, they're all policemen, listen to me, I'm over eighty years old this year, and I can't even dream of being able to help you police do something." The old man smiled, and his voice was as loud as a bell.
"Do you really know there is a secret way?"
"Yes, this is when I was young, my grandfather told me, it was all told as a story, saying that there was a demon girl living under the end of the world, and the demon girl would come out from time to time to catch disobedient children, so in that year, if someone disappeared or something, they would blame the demon girl, so this Tianya became a terrifying place, and we didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool since we were young."
Su Yi couldn't help but ask, "What happened later?" How did you know there was a secret way? ”
"When I was a child, it was before liberation, by chance, I found that my dog was holding a very smelly piece of meat, I was afraid that it would eat and get sick, so I went to chase it, but it held the meat in its mouth, and kept running towards the foot of the deep mountain, I chased and chased, I didn't expect to chase until I reached a flat land, I looked up, the top of my head is out of reach to look at the end of the world, there was no name at that time, I don't know which master later gave it a name, only to become famous, from time to time some young people visit, I don't know how this uncanny valley suddenly became an auspicious and auspicious place to look at the world. ”
Su Yi continued to ask: "What did you find when you chased in?" ”
"I found a carrion corpse, it must be a human corpse, it didn't frighten me at the beginning, I looked for my dog again, but the dog didn't know where it went, so I tried my best to go back, only to find that there was a road to the bottom of this cliff in our village, but it must be an ancient road, as for why there is such a road, I don't know."
Su Yi opened his mouth wide: "Then did you tell others later?" ”
"No, I didn't dare to tell anyone that there was a corpse there, I was young at the time, I didn't know what to expect, so this secret has been sealed until now, yesterday I heard that you police want to go down to investigate the case, I made up my mind to uncover this secret."
Murong Fei asked with concern, "Then do you remember the entrance to that road?" ”
"This intersection is actually in my backyard, only I can enter, no one else can enter, so this secret can be kept forever."
Shen Hai said: "That's great, wait for me to record all the way, if we really solve the big case, you will be our first-class hero." ”
"Don't dare to be a hero, as long as my old bones can show you a way, I will be satisfied."
Xiao Liu flattered and said: "The four of them don't seem to be very old, but they have solved many murder cases in our Bay State." ”
"The future is terrifying, young man, there is a future."
"Shall we go, then?" Xiao Liu gestured to the old man.
"Okay, you come with me, I haven't been on this road for sixty or seventy years, it may be a little unfamiliar, don't be in a hurry after a while, we will definitely be able to reach the end of the road."
Murong Fei comforted: "It's okay, you are old, we will take care of you, don't worry." ”
A group of six people entered the old man's house and went around to the backyard, Murong Fei saw that some vegetables were planted in the backyard, the vegetables were growing very vigorously, and the vegetable leaves were so green that people wanted to pick one when they saw it.
Murong chatted: "You are alone in your family, can you eat so many vegetables?" ”
"Yes, I can't finish eating, our dishes are all organic vegetables, there is no pollution, you people in the city like it, some people passing by, when they see this dish, they will ask to buy it, and I will sell some of it."
Murong Fei said: "Oh, now some people like local vegetables, and when life is good, they demand quality." ”
As he was talking, Murong Fei saw a door on the side of the vegetable garden in the backyard, and the door was open, so he walked over and found that through this door, he could lead to the roadside outside, he frowned and asked, "Don't you usually lock this door?" ”
"There are few rules in our village, what else is locked in this door? Besides, there are only a few vegetables in this garden, do you still think I'm afraid that people will steal them? ”
"Oh, I didn't mean that, just asking."
Murong Fei followed the old man out of another door in the backyard, and sure enough, he found that there was a narrow gravel road in front of him, and the weeds and thorns next to it were dense and squeezed in the middle of the road, but it did not affect slow walking.
Chi Ming followed the old man closely, staring intently at the road ahead, on the way to him, Murong Fei had already told him that this trip was not only a way to find, but also a process of investigation.
He knew that the old man said that he had not entered this road for sixty or seventy years, but according to his professional thinking habits, the old man said that he had not entered it, it did not mean that he had really not entered it, and even if the old man had not entered it, it could not be ruled out that other people had not entered it.
The group continued to go deep into the depth of the road, Chi Ming did not find any obvious abnormalities, occasionally found some broken blades of grass, but the broken blades of grass have withered yellow, it is impossible to judge whether it is artificially broken, or some small animals in the mountain forest, but Chi Ming still asked Shen Hai to shoot down these broken traces one by one, which is also the habit of the work of the criminal department, for the most primitive discoveries, it is useless to shoot first, no one knows, some small discoveries that are inconspicuous at the beginning, in the end, Maybe that's the key to solving the case.
Turning around, the old man didn't look tired at all, but Shen Hai was already angry, Chi Ming scolded: "Such a weak body, it's not as good as someone's eighty-year-old grandfather, why are you embarrassed to wear this police uniform?" ”
Shen Hai was a little embarrassed, but he was not convinced: "Another day, let's go to the swimming pool to try and see my true skills." ”
Su Yi said: "It turns out that our Shenhai is an aquatic animal, which is not suitable for roaming in this mountain forest. ”
Shen Hai hurriedly said, "Yes, you see that Su Yi will always understand me so much." ”
The old man suddenly said, "It seems to be the end." ”
When Murong Fei heard this, he looked ahead, and at the end of the road was a rocky lawn, with some weeds growing in the irregularly cracked stone crevices.
In a trance, Murong Fei found that there seemed to be something lying there behind this rock lawn, and he was stunned, could it be the corpse?
