On the way to Xiaoye Village, Du Ling carried a large bag of tools, all of which were bought by Changde, and muttered that it was not suitable, it was better to do it himself, and looked at Cheng Zhaofeng from time to time, wanting him to go to Qifengzhuang to get some tools he shared, but Cheng Zhaofeng didn't hear anything.

According to Cheng Zhaofeng's memory, the three of them searched for a long time, and finally found a piece of ruins in the weeds. Barren, gloomy, and infested with small beasts from time to time.

"Xiaoye Village?" Du Ling looked at the ruins and asked blankly.

"It should be." Cheng Zhaofeng looked around and replied.

Li Songran had already walked into the ruins, leaned over to inspect and said, "Here, there are traces of fire. He looked up and asked Cheng Zhaofeng: "At that time, you set fire to the village?" ”

"Yes." Cheng Zhaofeng also walked to Li Songran's side and looked at the roof beams of black carbon.

Du Ling jumped under the roof beam and began to look through it: "According to that story, should there be a dead person down here?" Then he straightened up and said to the other two, "Be careful when you walk, and don't step on it." ”

As soon as he said this, both of them became cautious. Instead, it is Du Ling, jumping between the ruins, sometimes moving bricks, tiles, and sometimes digging deeper. I was busy for more than two hours, but there was no result. Cheng Zhaofeng had already held his waist and found a broken wall to sit and rest. Du Ling wiped the sweat on his face, and he lost the strength to jump around at the beginning. Li Songran has always searched carefully in a small area.

"Little Doctor Du." Li Songran shouted softly. "There seems to be a discovery here."

Cheng Zhaofeng and Du Ling ran over almost at the same time. Li Songran had already found four or five bones, and he was holding a long bone in his hand. Du Ling took the bones and examined them carefully, squatted and studied the bones on the ground piece by piece, and after a long time, threw two pieces: "Dog bones." Pointing to the rest, he said, "There is a knife wound on this bone." He frowned and thought for a while, "It seems to be two people, one of whom is a child." Uncle Cheng, help wrap these in a white cloth, and we'll take them back. ”

"Huh?" Cheng Zhaofeng looked at Du Ling: "Why do you want to bring it back?" ”

"Nangong Jin said that he wanted to find evidence, and I had to take a closer look at these bones. There should still be something to be seen. He turned his head and asked Li Songran: "All found here?" ”

"Yes, I think it's supposed to be a bedroom. The last time it was said that the massacre was in the early hours of the morning, and everyone was still sleeping. I think I might find out where the bedroom is. ”

"Makes sense." Cheng Zhaofeng packed up the bones. "Okay, let's look for it again."

Since the discovery, more and more bones have been found. It was getting late, and Cheng Zhaofeng finally couldn't help asking, "It's almost, right?" ”

Du Ling didn't raise his head: "Look again." ”

Li Songran had already withdrawn his hand, and he didn't know what he was thinking when he stood aside. Cheng Zhaofeng stepped forward, "You want to take a look again?" It's dark, what else are you looking at? ”

"No, Uncle Cheng." Li Songran said a little embarrassed: "I was thinking, if Ah Jin is here, he will definitely find more things." ”

Cheng Zhaofeng looked at him strangely: "We have found so many human bones, is it not enough?" Don't think of that kid like that, he's used to talking nonsense. ”

"Dr. Xiao Du said that there are about twenty or thirty people here, and finding these can only mean that twenty or thirty people died, and what Ah Jin is looking for is evidence of the slaughter of the village."

"No, you're trying to find all those hundreds?" Cheng Zhaofeng was taken aback.

Li Songran lowered his head silently, as if he was still thinking about what to do. It may be really dark, Du Ling looked for a while, and then came over and asked, "Are there torches?" ”

Cheng Zhaofeng said helplessly: "Are you planning to spend the night here?" ”

"Not really." Du Ling said, looked at Li Songran again, and wanted him to say a few words for himself.

Li Songran lowered his head and said thoughtlessly: "I think the evidence we are looking for should be more than these remains." ”

"It's more than that, at least the burned village itself is proof." Cheng Zhaofeng said affirmatively.

"But the government said that the village was destroyed by fire." Du Ling looked at Cheng Zhaofeng and felt that according to the government's statement, this was not evidence.

"It's true that there was a fire, but ...... the skyfire?" Li Songran said while thinking: "We have to prove that the government's statement is wrong, if it is not a heavenly fire, then it is arson, can we find evidence to prove that it is arson?" ”

Cheng Zhaofeng and Du Ling glanced at each other, and Cheng Zhaofeng said: "If you want to set fire to this place, I'm afraid there will be a lot of fire." If it is a natural fire, there should not be many fire points. However, it is difficult to find a fire here. ”

Li Songran nodded: "I think, it is generally a place where it is easy to ignite such as the firewood room." Looking at the darkening ruins again, "Could it be fueled by oil or something?" Then he asked himself, "What is the purpose of arson?" ”

"Didn't you say that it was for the sake of destroying corpses?" Du Ling's expression seemed to say, 'This statement is also what you said'.

"If it's a corpse, it's a fire that is set when a person dies." Li Songran looked at Du Ling and asked, "Those bones, can you prove it?" ”

Du Ling thought for a while and said, "I want to separate those people one by one, and then find out the cause of death of these remains." However, the bones are not complete, and the three of us have to dig and test the ......" with a look of embarrassment.

"Ah Jin said that Yang Wentian didn't have so many people who could use it at that time, if there weren't so many people, how could he not let go of one person?" Li Songran continued to ask.

"In the wee hours of the morning, everyone is sleeping." Cheng Zhaofeng made a murderous gesture.

"I think, first, there are three or four hundred people in Xiaoye Village, but there should only be a few dozen households." Li Songran looked around, "The villagers don't live scattered. If I were Yang Wentian, I brought dozens of people and entered the village in the early morning, where did I start killing? ”

Cheng Zhaofeng asked incomprehensibly: "Do you want to do it?" Don't learn from Nangong Jin's nonsense and make up stories. ”

As long as someone says that Nangong Jin is not good, Du Ling is always very happy to agree: "Yes, yes, yes, he talks nonsense and scolds." ”

Li Songran smiled bitterly: "If Ah Jin was here, maybe the problem would have been discovered earlier." ”

Hearing him say this, Du Ling was disgusted.

Li Songran continued: "I want to try to restore the situation of that day, maybe I can find something. ”

Cheng Zhaofeng may not necessarily agree with his opinion, but also analyzed: "When you enter the village, the first one starts to kill." ”

Li Songran thought for a while and shook his head: "No, there are not so many people." After the killing, the villagers were woken up and fled in all directions, and it was easy to escape. But Xiaoye Village is dead, isn't it? Uncle Cheng. ”

Cheng Zhaofeng nodded: "Then how do you say to kill?" ”

"Shall we draw a picture first and draw the entire Xiaoye Village?" Li Songran suggested.

"Hey, it's okay. I will, and I've painted the West Courtyard. Du Ling looked at the ruins and was embarrassed: "However, how to draw here?" It's all in ruins. ”

Li Songran continued to suggest: "Do you draw the boundary first?" Then there is the road in and out of the village ......".

"Wait." Cheng Zhaofeng interrupted Li Songran, "Why do you draw that?" ”

"More human bones can be found, and they should be buried anyway." Li Songran said sincerely.

"That's it?" Cheng Zhaofeng felt that it was unnecessary.

Li Songran looked around again, it was darker, and said while thinking, "I wonder if it will be like this that day." Yang Wentian must have planned it before he came. Therefore, after entering the village, he should start killing from the periphery and inward. Some of them guarded the main road and killed those who escaped. The other part of the people, entering the house, a family of two or three killers can kill all the sleeping villagers, and the first group of people to die may not have resisted. Then go inside, at this time someone should notice the movement, and some villagers will run out. Then, the killer who guarded the main road outside. More villagers living in the center of the village woke up at this time, and the scene was chaotic, and people continued to run outside, just hitting the knife edge. This kind of killing method will not take much time, and finally see if there is anything missing. After that, set fire to the village. ”

Cheng Zhaofeng looked at him with some surprise, he couldn't imagine that this child, who seemed to be quite honest and kind, would also come up with such a story of killing people and setting fires.

Li Songran paused and said, "There are many things that can be marked on the map, such as where the villagers died roughly?" Uncle Cheng is right, if it is arson, there must be more than one fire, where are those fires? I don't know how to prove that these things are related to Yang Wentian and Hong Jipeng...... Do this, ask Ah Jin, he should know. ”

"Okay, okay, you're right. However, if I were Nangong Jin, I would have said at this time, it's late, go home and sleep. Cheng Zhaofeng patted Li Songran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Continue tomorrow." ”
