In the mass grave on the northern outskirts of Canal County, more than a dozen catchers are cleaning up the weeds in the cemetery, and in the south of the mass grave, there is a crooked neck tree that is some years old, and at this moment, a corpse is hanging from the branch of the crooked neck tree.

Liu Hua looked at the scattered and disorderly graves around him, and couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "I'm sorry, it's not good for this Zhang Jun to choose where to commit suicide, why did he choose to commit suicide in this ghost place?" Could it be that you fall in love with the feng shui here? ”

Tong Zhen and Huang Tianxiao surveyed the scene from the periphery, trying to find some clues, while Liu Hua stared closely at the corpse hanging from the tree, the body was about 20 centimeters above the ground, and there were four or five green bricks scattered on the ground.

These green bricks are all used to press yellow paper on the surrounding graves, seeing that the deceased moved from other graves before committing suicide, Liu Hua stacked the green bricks and examined them, and saw that the green bricks happened to be able to pad the feet of the deceased.

Because the deceased had been hanging from a tree for a day, the neck of the corpse had been strangled, and at this moment, the two eyeballs of the deceased were about to stare out of the sockets, and the mouth of the deceased had already opened, and the tongue in the mouth was strangled because of the throat, so the whole tongue was stretched out of the mouth, hanging outside the mouth, looking very terrifying.

Looking at the corpse in front of him, Liu Hua found a very strange phenomenon, that is, the clothes worn by the deceased were somewhat abnormal, and the deceased was not wearing a fast hunting suit at this time, but a brocade embroidered cloud texture suit.

According to Zhang Wanggu, the commander of Canal County, the deceased had gone to him yesterday morning to report the case, and after reporting the case, the deceased sent someone to the prefect's yamen to report the case of the headless female corpse to Tong Zhen.

Since the deceased went to the county government to run an errand at that time, it means that he was wearing a fast hunting suit, but when the deceased left the county office, why didn't he go to the scene of the murder to wait for Tong Zhen's arrival? But he changed into new clothes, and then ran to this mass grave and hanged himself?

With doubts in mind, Liu Hua untied Zhang Jun's body from the tree, found a clean piece of ground, placed the body on the ground, and then began the on-site autopsy.

Liu Hua first inspected the deceased's mouth, and found no traces of poisoning, and after carefully combing the deceased's hair, he did not find a hidden wound on his head, according to observation, the deceased's face was blue and purple, the corners of his eyes were bleeding, his lips were dark purple, his nose was obviously expanded, and his throat was bulging, and he was characterized by suffocation.

After untying the corpse's clothes, Liu Hua did not find any suspicious items, and there were no other external injuries on the corpse except for the strangulation marks on the neck, and Liu Hua carefully examined the fingernails of the deceased.

It was found that there were no other items in the cracks of the nails except for some pieces of hemp rope, and the pieces of hemp rope in the cracks of the nails of the deceased were consistent with the hemp rope materials used by the deceased to hang himself, and it seemed that the deceased had indeed committed suicide.

Just as Liu Hua was further examining the body, Tong Zhen and Huang Tianxiao came to his side: "How is it?" What did you find? ”

After hearing the inquiry, Liu Hua looked at Huang Tianxiao, then at Tong Zhen, and then sighed and shook his head: "The time of Zhang Jun's death was yesterday morning, and at that time, we should be inspecting the headless female corpse in Gupo Village."

There is nothing abnormal on the corpse, the scene is very consistent with the characteristics of suicide, there is no trace of external intervention, although I don't think things are so simple, but I haven't found anything suspicious for the time being.

Let the brothers transport Zhang Jun's body back to the county government first, after all, he is Zhang County's nephew, go back and let Zhang County's body deal with Zhang Jun's body, and see if it is stored in Yizhuang or transported back to Zhang Jun's hometown? ”

After the order, Liu Hua looked around, and at this moment, Huang Tianxiao said to him and Tong Zhen: "I just discovered a strange thing, that is, three or four miles west from here, there is exactly a river, and below the river is Gupo Village. ”

After hearing this, Liu Hua and Tong Zhen all moved in their hearts, Tong Zhen looked at the surrounding environment, and then hurriedly ordered: "Carefully investigate this place to see if there are any suspicious points?"

If these are the scenes where the murderer threw the body, I think the head of the headless female corpse must be hidden in this place, so that the brothers can seriously investigate it to see if there are any traces of the soil in the vicinity. ”

After Huang Tianxiao heard Liu Hua and Tong Zhen's orders, he divided the arrest at the scene into two groups, one group was responsible for transporting Zhang Jun's body back to the county office, and the rest of the people were with him to find suspicious points from the scene.

During this period, Liu Hua stacked several green bricks at the feet of the deceased, and then sat on it, looking at Zhang Jun's corpse with both eyes, and constantly analyzing the cause of death of the deceased in his mind.

Because the search was fruitless, the catchers gradually became discouraged, and everyone was not as serious as at the beginning, and slowly, everyone chatted about the sky when they were searching, and these people were chatting nonsense.

They talked about their future ideals from their heroic deeds, from the dusty woman to their confidantes, from the casino teahouse to the three religions and nine streams, from the current case to the previous similar cases, from catching fast oil and water to the public security environment in several surrounding counties.

This one said that he knew how much oil and water the catchers in the surrounding counties was, and that said that there was a certain difficult case in other counties, and the other was not to be outdone, telling everyone that the head catcher in a certain county was going to be vacant, so that the hopeful catcher should hurry up and carry out activities.

After hearing the chatting content of these fast catchers, Huang Tianxiao's heart moved, he greeted Tong Zhen, and then came to Liu Hua: "Deputy Chief Catcher, after I heard the chat of the brothers just now, I was suddenly inspired a little.

Although a page of the register in the household registration room has been torn off, so that we cannot know the true identity of the deceased, since we have determined that the deceased is a nun, why don't we look for clues from the nuns in this county?

As the saying goes, the dragon has the dragon road, the tiger has the tiger road, I believe that those nuns must have their own social circle, just like we have our own circle, as long as we find those nuns, and ask them if there is a nun about 30 years old in this county, I think there will be a harvest. ”

"It makes sense, you can do this matter yourself." After saying this, Liu Hua said meaningfully: "Perhaps, I still have to go to the household registration room, and when I heard the brothers discuss those previous cases, I suddenly thought of a question.

Before, because Li Mu was in charge of the household registration house, I asked him if there was a nun about 30 years old in this county? But he said that he had only been in charge of the household registration house for about two years, and he only knew about Lu Dao for less than two years, and he didn't know anything outside of two years.

As you said, the dragon has a dragon road, and the tiger has a tiger road, and our brothers have not experienced some old cases, but because of their work and business, after the incident, the brothers still heard about some old cases.

Li Mu has been managing the household registration house for two years, even if he is not familiar with those things two years ago, but for some sensitive files, he must know some inside information, and it is impossible to be ignorant.

When introducing foreign monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and other religious personnel, Li Mu can be said to be quite familiar with this aspect of business, since he is so familiar with this aspect of business, why is it that when introducing the register of foreign nuns, he claims to only know the information of Lu Tao within two years?

Because I was worried about foreign monks, nuns, Taoist priests, and people from the Heaven and Earth Society in the middle, the information recorded in that register belonged to the key population information.

If Li Mu had managed the household registration house for two years, and he didn't even know how many key personnel there were in the jurisdiction, then he would have been dismissed and returned home a long time ago, how could he do it until now? Looks like he lied to us before. ”
