I don't know why, seeing the appearance of this strange corpse, in addition to feeling fear, there is also a special feeling, and I feel a little faintly uncomfortable in my heart.

I also wondered, why do I feel so uncomfortable?

As for what was found next to the corpse, I remember hearing Master Bragu say that it was probably an ancient form of cursing, as if it was called a "soul suppression spell", which was used to suppress the souls of those who had died unjustly.

Although I was only a college student, I was also a real atheist, and I just heard it at the time.

This person died a really miserable death, and he was wronged, he was skinned and thrown into the river, and at the same time he used such a vicious "soul suppression spell", but then again, the body was inadvertently fished up after more than ten years, which can be regarded as a little luck among all kinds of misfortune.

A cordon was drawn around the corpse, and several middle-aged men with unshaven beards and dirty bodies stood on the side, looking at us with twinkling eyes.

Liu Liwei was thoughtful and asked Liu Xili in a low voice: "Those are the shipowners?" ”

"Yes!"

"From the local police station, have you asked?"

"I asked!" As he spoke, he turned and shouted at the other uniformed ones.

The men hurriedly ran over.

"What's the situation?" Liu Liwei asked straight to the point.

"Liu, that's the case, after we received the report, we rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and after understanding the situation, we asked the brothers from the fire department to help......"

Liu Liwei frowned: "Just order, it's useless to talk less!" ”

The uniformed man on the opposite side bowed his head and nodded: "After the first boat capsized, three corpses were fished up, there is no problem, this one was capsized in the early hours of this morning, and the result is ...... As a result, when the body was recovered, an additional body was found. ”

"Did the owner admit it?"

"I have confessed, several other bodies are on their ship, only this one they don't know, we guess it should be accidentally caught during salvage."

"Guess?" Liu Liwei glared at him and shouted, "Can this matter be guessed?" ”

Frightened, a few uniformed people on the other side laughed and apologized.

Only then did I see what it means to be an official, it is really an official who crushes people to death!

Liu Liwei asked them to call the owners of the two capsized boats to make a confession in person, and in his words, if the body had been thrown into the Yellow River more than ten years ago, it would have been submerged in the sediment of the Yellow River long ago, or it would have been discovered long ago.

In other words, the two bodies were most likely on one of the two ships, and if so, the matter is complicated and serious.

Half an hour later, both groups of people had gathered.

"The first ship was yours?"

"Yes!"

"What kind of ship?"

"Pull the goods!"

"What?"

"Agricultural products - but this time it's an empty ship, and there are only some utensils on board."

"Who is drowning?"

"Our employees are actually relatives."

"There's nothing else on board?"

"I didn't ...... Gone! ”

"Are you sure? Sure there are no skinned corpses on board? ”

"What? Corpse! No...... Nope! What do you mean, I don't understand! ”

Liu Liwei stopped talking, and his eyes swept over the faces of several people. The moment I noticed his words, several people on the other side suddenly turned pale with fright, widened their eyes, and opened their mouths wide.

"Alright, Xiaohu, let them sign and leave!"

A second group of people was called.

Almost asked the same question, and the other party's reaction was similar to that of a few people just now, and after they left, Liu Liwei's face turned pale.

The head of the local police station called the village party secretaries of two nearby villages and asked some questions.

It's nothing more than that in the past ten years, in the vicinity, mainly on the edge of the Yellow River, have there been any strange things happening, and have you noticed strange people.

The two village party secretaries are both old men in their fifties, and their temperament types are similar to those of Lao Secretary Wang, and they are both rural old men with a strong rural atmosphere.

The two of them talked a lot, and we were in a fog.

"Alright! Let's go back first! I'll contact you if there's something. Liu Liwei's brows were wrinkled into flesh bumps.

As soon as the two village party secretaries walked out less than ten meters, the Zhou Shu village party secretary of Donghu Village stopped again and turned around: "That's right! I do remember one thing, I don't know if it's useful. ”

Liu Liwei nodded: "Say it!" ”

"More than a decade ago...... I don't remember the specific year, but the old Song family in our village had a river sacrifice ceremony near here, and it was ...... At that time, it was for the drowning of his aunt. The language of the secretary of Zhoucun is not very neat, Liu Liwei and they don't seem to understand, but when they hear the words "old Song family", I am excited.

Without waiting for Liu Liwei to reply, I asked rhetorically: "Which old Song family are you talking about?" ”

"It's the old Song family in our village, Song Weiqiang's family!"

I suddenly had an indescribable feeling that Song Jianmin was my uncle! Uncle Dear, I just haven't been in touch for several years.

Speaking of my grandmother's house, the first thing I felt was a chill.

It is said that when my parents got married, my grandmother's whole family objected, but my mother finally married my father, and broke off relations with my mother's family for this reason.

For as long as I can remember, my mother told me that my grandfather had passed away a long time ago, and I didn't have an uncle, until I was six years old, and a few people suddenly came to the house, and I remember very well at that time, my mother saw them enter the house, and cried all of a sudden, listening to their conversation, I heard it ignorantly, and the people who came were my grandma, grandpa and two uncles.

It was also at this time that I learned that my grandmother's house was Donghu Village, Dongji Town, surnamed Song, and it was still a big gateway in their village.

Later, my father suddenly disappeared, and I went to my grandmother's house a few times.

One of the most impressive was going to the river to attend my grandmother's funeral.

It was a cloudy evening, and my mother cried and went to my neighbor's house to find me, and then rode her bicycle for a long time, and when I got off the bike, it was already dark, and I saw a lot of people gathered around the river, some in white coats with a wooden stick in their hands.

At that time, I knew that this was "related to old age", and it must be a dead person, and then I saw my uncle in a white filial piety shirt, and I realized what was wrong.

My mother asked for a white filial piety hat for me to bring, and handed me a wooden stick, and when I touched my hand, I saw that it was a willow wooden stick, and asked me to follow the crowd and call grandma......

Childhood memories are flashing in the air, is this the river where my mother brought me back then?

Zhou Laohan, the village party secretary of Donghu Village, stumbled and talked about his grandmother's sacrifice to the river more than ten years ago.

Listening to his narration and looking back on the past ten years ago, the events of that year gradually became clear in my mind.

It turned out that my mother was in a hurry and brought me to the Yellow River to participate in the ordinary "old man", but the two uncles gave the drowning grandmother a river sacrifice ceremony.

As far as I know, in addition to the river sacrifice ceremony held by the two uncles because of their grandmother's drowning more than ten years ago, there was also a great drought before the flood in 98 years, the widows of Hewang Village and several nearby villages also spontaneously gathered to pray for rain by the river.

After listening to Zhou Laohan's narration, Liu Liwei's solemn expression did not stretch in the slightest.

He pursed his lips and said coldly: "What do you say have to do with the case?" ”

Zhou Laohan was stunned for a moment, and his neck stiffened: "Yes!" ”

"Just do it! If you have anything to say, you can finish it in one breath. ”

"When we sacrifice to the river in this area, we can't afford to sacrifice life!"

"Birth sacrifice? Is it killing pigs and slaughtering sheep? ”

"This must be indispensable...... But...... But ......"

"But what?" Obviously, Liu Liwei was a little impatient.

"I heard the old people in the village say that the most spiritual sacrifice to the river is still human sacrifice?"

"What? Human sacrifice! Is it possible to dare to use human sacrifices? ”

Old Man Zhou smiled and shook his head: "I didn't mean that, it's just that this old Song family brother is not simple...... I just said it casually! ”

After speaking, without waiting for Liu Liwei to reply, he turned around and dragged his crotch and strode towards the village.

Liu Liwei's expression became more solemn, and he walked to the skinless corpse again.

"Healy, what clues can you see from the corpse?"

"At present, it is only a preliminary autopsy, and it is determined that the deceased was skinned after death, and from the perspective of the technique, the technique is sophisticated, and the whole skin is peeled off in one go, which shows that the murderer has an extremely good understanding of the human body structure, and the knife technique is mature...... I think it could be an old hot doctor or an experienced butcher! ”

When I heard the word "butcher", my scalp was numb...... Is this a coincidence?

Liu Xili pointed to a few objects on the side of the corpse: "I am not familiar with this thing, it should have nothing to do with the cause of death of the deceased, but put it in the body bag and throw it into the river together, there must be some purpose...... Maybe it really has something to do with some kind of sacrifice. ”

Hearing this, I finally couldn't help but speak: "Viagra, Xi Ligo, I should have seen the sacrificial river that Zhou Laohan said......"

relied on his memory to tell the events of that year, and attracted several nearby criminal policemen to come over.

"What? It was your grandmother's family who held the river sacrifice back then? ”

I nodded: "Actually, that's not the point, the point is my two uncles!" ”

"What's wrong with your uncle?"

"Although I haven't seen them a few times since I was a child, I heard my mother say that my uncle is a well-known Mr. Yin and Yang nearby, and my second uncle has been killing pigs and cattle since he was a teenager, and he has been doing it for more than 30 years......"

I said it very clearly, and judging from the reactions of several people, they also understood.

"Your eldest uncle is Mr. Yin and Yang, and your second uncle is a butcher?" After Liu Liwei finished speaking, he glanced at the body bag on the ground and the strange object on the side, and frowned tightly.

There are many coincidences in the world, but it will never be so coincidental, Liu Xili just judged that the corpse may be related to the butcher and some kind of sacrifice, and my two uncles happen to be a butcher with more than 30 years of experience, and the other is Mr. Yin and Yang, and it is even more coincidental that they happened to hold a river sacrifice ceremony here more than ten years ago.

After holding back for a minute, Liu Liwei said coldly: "Let's go back and do a detailed autopsy first, and at the same time include the family surnamed Song in Donghu Village as the subject of the investigation!" ”

Sitting on the way back to the district, I couldn't tell my inner feelings, touching my heart and asking myself, there was no emotion for the so-called grandma's family, they didn't let me feel the slightest family affection, and even after my mother died, the second uncle asked the neighbors to go to his house to deliver letters, but until the funeral was over, their family didn't even come alone.

I remember that on the day of the funeral, heavy snow fell from the sky, and the north wind was howling so that people could not open their eyes.

I knelt in the snow and carried my mother's urn, and to this day I still remember the cold that day.

After being sick for several days and lying down for several days, Nirvana was reborn, and since then there has been no grandmother's house.

Years have passed, and during these years, I have endured a lot of hardships and sins, and I have been under tremendous pressure, both mentally and physically.

When I was in college, my classmates from good families ate better and dressed better than me, and I asked my friends out to have a meal every once in a while.

What about me! Living expenses basically rely on work-study, plus frugality, three years of junior college, I never dared to be invited to go out to eat with my classmates, anyway, I found all kinds of reasons for this, especially in the face of ignorant youth, there were also girls who liked and liked me, but when I thought of my own conditions, I had to bow my head and pull my waist to the side.

This legendary grandmother's house is a strange place to me.

I didn't say a word on the way, but when I arrived at the police station, Liu Liwei reminded me that I could arrange for a DNA test, and I came back to my senses.

In fact, along the way, while thinking about these things, I don't know why, the appearance of the corpse always appeared in my mind, and an uncomfortable feeling that is difficult to describe in words came out.

When I got out of the car, I subconsciously asked myself: how can I feel this way? Do you know this man? Thinking about it, it is absolutely impossible, more than ten years ago, I was only a teenager, and besides, the corpse had been skinned, and Kenben couldn't see the appearance clearly.

It must be an illusion, maybe it has something to do with the bizarre experience during this time!

After Liu Xili learned about me, he said that he would give me an appraisal first.

I thought it would be complicated, but I didn't expect him to poke a few times in my mouth with a cotton swab, and then nodded to indicate that it was okay.

After tossing all afternoon, I was already physically and mentally exhausted, and when I got out of the office building, I just wanted to call Wu Jinghan, but I saw her on the phone, so I had to sit aside and wait, which was half an hour.

"Let's go, Lu Dong!"

After deducting the phone, Wu Jinghan smiled embarrassedly at me.

My sleepiness was instantly banished.

"Whose phone? So long! ”

It's not that I'm jealous, I'm just curious, Wu Jinghan doesn't have any relatives like me, who made the call?

"It's Mr. Wu! When I waited for you, I remembered to call him and tell him that I was safe! Wu Jinghan walked over very gently and took my arm, "Of course, I also listened to him analyze the underground space and the cracks. ”

"Oh? Could it be that there is something new to say?"

"The teacher analyzed that the civilization of the two layers of underground space has both similarities and differences, and it should be one civilization imitating the other."

I nodded, in fact, I also thought of this, a book also wrote that before the humans living today, the earth has experienced five mass extinctions, maybe there were humans who lived in the cracks of the underground in the previous civilization!

Maybe humans lived underground before that.
