Liu Xili didn't look up.

"Judging from the appearance of the corpse, the time of death was no more than five days, but it can be ...... Depending on the degree of decay of the internal organs, at least ...... At least a few years ......"

"Ahh And what's going on? Could it be the reason for the dip in the river? ”

Liu Xili shook his head: "I have considered this factor, although soaking in water will lead to errors in the judgment of the time of death of the deceased, but the error will generally not exceed 12 hours, and definitely not 24 hours." ”

I was a little confused when I heard this, and I wanted to ask Fa Dian, but after glancing around, I found that Fa Dian was also gone.

What is the situation, people?

Strange things have happened in Donghu Village, which has attracted the attention of the superiors, so Hao Minyuan and Liu Xili discussed and decided to stay in the village temporarily, as for the corpse, take pictures first, and then send it back to the district with the autopsy data, and let the colleagues over there take the photos of the deceased and compare the autopsy data with the data in the office, what about here! They continued to check.

At the end of the day, the body was wrapped up in a body bag and temporarily placed in a dilapidated house in the village.

"I think it's imperative to identify the deceased!" Hao Minyuan called Liu Xili and a few of us to the side, which was a small meeting.

Liu Xili shook his head: "I think we first have to determine the time of death of the deceased, so that we can narrow down the scope so that it is easier to determine the identity of the deceased." ”

Hao Minyuan nodded: "Liu Ke is right!" ”

Hao Minyuan asked me to explain the river sacrifice in detail again, and I was interrupted by Hao Minyuan just halfway through my sentence.

"So from the beginning, it was a few old people in the village and the party secretary of Zhou Village who proposed to sacrifice the river?"

I nodded: "I guess so!" ”

"Do you think this has something to do with the sacrifice of the river?" Hao Minyuan asked us in a low voice.

I thought for a moment and replied, "As far as I know, the village also held a large-scale river sacrifice ceremony ten and twenty years ago, as if it ...... It seems that the people in the village don't want to talk about it. ”

The thought of my father's skinned corpse being fished up from the Yellow River immediately made me feel uncomfortable.

Hao Minyuan asked again: "That's right! Where's Master Fa Ying?"

I shook my head: "When the river was sacrificed, he was still there, and after the corpse appeared in the river, I didn't notice where he went!" ”

Zhou Laosan disappeared mysteriously, almost the entire village went out with the whole army, grouped with the village as the center, radiated and searched around, and searched all over the radius of more than ten miles, and did not find Zhou Laohan and Zhou Zhounuo.

We linked the disappearance of Zhou Laohan and the discovery of his body, and agreed that the case would be divided into two parts.

First, colleagues from the forensic department of the district police station searched for information based on the autopsy data and photos of the deceased provided by Liu Xili.

The second is to continue to search for Zhou Laohan's father and daughter, and we vaguely feel that perhaps the moment we find Zhou Laohan is also the time to find out the identity of the deceased.

The two of them seemed to have evaporated from the world.

The people in the village were both puzzled and anxious, but there was one who was even more anxious, and that was Han Jianjian.

A big man, I really can't hold it back, I cry loudly, look at him crying bitterly, I don't know the situation and think my wife is dead!

The local police station also sent a lot of people to help search, until they found the evening, but still did not find Zhou Laohan and Zhou Zhounuo, but found Fa Dian, when he was found, he was covered in yellow mud, lying in the Yellow River beach, still panting.

Lao Dian returned to the village branch in embarrassment, and when he saw us, he just smiled and asked if there was anything to eat.

Several women in the village hurriedly brought the food, and Fa Dian didn't wash his hands as if he hadn't eaten for several days, picking up steamed buns with one hand and chopsticks with the other.

Seeing that he had eaten about the same amount, I quickly poured a glass of water and handed it over: "Lao Dian, you ...... What are you doing today? Why are you so embarrassed! ”

After taking a few sips from the cup, Fa Dian burped: "Go chase that thing, I almost caught up, it's a pity!" ”

After speaking, drink the remaining half glass of water in a few sips.

"You're talking about something hidden in the village, not a ghost or a demon?" I asked in surprise.

Fa Dian nodded: "Yes! There's a secret I can tell you right now! ”

After saying this, he smiled, and hooked his hand to signal me to lean closer to him.

Fa Dian put his mouth to my ear and whispered, "I did something to the new daughter-in-law of the river god!" ”

"Ahh When I heard this, I was startled at first, and then I realized that he was referring to a dummy made of flour by several women in the village.

"What did you do?" I asked quizzically.

"I secretly put in a few spells, and this thing showed its original form!"

I was even more confused by the second monk: "Lao Dian, master! What the hell is that thing you mean? ”

Fa Dian smiled, did not answer, but looked at me and asked softly, "Well! Keep it secret for the time being - do you kid dare to accompany me to catch it again? ”

"Why don't you dare?" I was a little angry and replied.

Fa Dian slapped the food that was sprinkled on his body: "That's okay! Let's leave on time at 12 o'clock tonight! ”

After saying that, he walked towards his bedroom.

I was stunned for a few seconds before I reacted and hurriedly chased two steps: "What? Twelve o'clock tonight...... This point...... What are you going to do now? ”

Fa Dian staggered and walked to the door, and turned around: "My Apple Five is out of battery, I have to charge it!" ”

These words thundered everyone present.

While it's not completely dark yet. Hao Minyuan and Liu Xili asked people to take them to Zhou Laohan's house, wanting to see if they could find some clues, and Han Jianli and I also went with them.

It was supposed to be the time when the lights were on, but Zhou Laohan's house was dark, which made me feel depressed.

Turning on all the lights in the house, Han Jianli pointed to the two doors respectively: "This is Yinuo's bedroom, and the other is Uncle Zhou's ......" Han Jianjian's voice whimpered.

Let's go into Zhou Zhouno's bedroom first.

A typical young girl's boudoir, although not luxurious, it is very clean and tidy.

Several people searched the room and found nothing unusual.

I came to Zhou Laohan's bedroom again, and as soon as I entered the door, I was stunned.

In addition to the bed and table, there is a large urn on one side of Zhou Laohan's bedroom, the lower part is buried in the soil, and the top is a lid made of sorghum stalks.

It looks awkward, although most rural families have this kind of urn, but it is generally placed in the kitchen, and in crowded families, there are also water tanks in the living room.

How can you still put an urn in the bedroom!

Hao Minyuan and Liu Xili searched separately.

Liu Xili was stunned in front of Zhou Laohan's bed, first said "Huh", and then muttered: "It's so strange! ”

Hao Minyuan and two other criminal policemen also came over.

"What did you find? Liu Ke! ”

Liu Xili pointed to the futon on the bed: "This bed seems to have been used by no one for a long time!" ”
