Chapter 8: The Scorched Corpse Reappears
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after the owner of the ghost market cleared Mu Qingming's suspicions, he told Mu Qingming an important clue, that is, the person who bought the human brain porridge home remedies was the one who got the immortal Dao 'guidance and maze', and he was also a lame middle-aged man. Afterwards, Mu Qingming informed Zhao Liang of the clues that the corpse might not be gallant, and that the murderer might be a pig cutter and a lame leg. I never thought that Zhao Liang searched for a day, but he failed to find a pig man from Kunming City who matched the clues. Drawing out the Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Liang and Mu Qingxi's family got together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but before the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was finished, the police had already come to the door to inform Zhao Liang that there were charred corpses in the city. When they were shocked, Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang went straight to the scene, and saw that the newly discovered charred corpse was exactly the same as the one found in Bada He, and they were also gone. 】
Mu Qingming didn't squeak, and after being stunned, he handed over several couplets with dried ink to Mei Xiang and asked her to send them to Miaojue, before turning his head to look at Zhao Liang, frowning and questioning, "Shouldn't it?" ”。
"yes, I don't think it's possible. After all, the charred corpse has no guts, and taking the guts is the pigman's method, and you and I have the right information. Zhao Liang stretched out his hand and scratched the back of his head vigorously: "It stands to reason that you have your way, I have my way, this way of investigating the case is different, there will be something that doesn't match, but once the information is right, it will definitely be able to lock the real murderer." But this time it's really evil, and if you can match the clues, you can't lock the murderer. ”。
Mu Qingming pondered for a moment, and after quickly thinking about the clues and detection directions he knew so far, he didn't find any clues or mistakes, so he said: "I think this matter has to go back to the starting point, and it is necessary for us to start all over again." ”。
"There is one thing you have to do as soon as possible, that is, the identity of the charred corpse has to be confirmed by you." After a pause, Mu Qingming added.
Before the words landed, Mei Xiang, the bear child, lit a cannon battle in the courtyard, and the explosion made a loud "bang", which frightened Zhao Liang, who was listening attentively.
"Your kid is too skinny." Zhao Liang exclaimed in fright, and stroked his chest a few times before he came to his senses; Mu Qingming, who was not frightened, said with a light smile: "Remember to check the case from the beginning tomorrow, and then check the identity of the charred corpse." ”......
In the afternoon, two sticks of high incense were lit outside the gate of the small courtyard of the Mu family, one on the left and one on the left and one on the left; In the hall, the fragrance is overflowing.
The table was filled with all sorts of delicacies; Since it is in Kunming for the New Year, Mu Qingming also follows the local customs, and makes Mo Han cook Yunnan cuisine.
On the table, in addition to the Yunnan-style cooking pot with the main dish, there is also a cold chicken with yellow skin and white flesh, which is tender and delicious. Refreshing and delicious, fragrant but not greasy cold preserved eggs. The skin is thin and the filling is more, and the Kunming people call it the egg dumplings of gold ingots. The crispy and tender crispy meat, the pine-fragrant and soft glutinous fried lotus root balls, and the fat and thin are just right to match the thousand pieces of meat. There is also the tamales that are tender but not minced, the rice noodles are oily, and the five flavors are rich. As well as glutinous rice bean paste, longan red dates and other ingredients, and so symbolizes reunion, auspicious and safe eight-treasure rice.
As for the fresh fish brought by Zhao Liang, it was also seasoned with shiitake mushrooms and winter bamboo shoots by the ingenious Mo Han, and seasoned with chicken broth to become a smooth, fragrant and delicious steamed fish.
Looking at this table of deliciousness, Zhao Liang couldn't help but swallow his saliva while moving his index finger, but after all, this was in the Mu family. Even if he has an appetite, he can't eat first.
It wasn't until Mu Qingming finished setting off the firecrackers, drove away the "year" and evil spirits, and then took the wonderful, facing the statue of the ancient emperor emperor hanging on the wall, and sat back on the table after three knocks and nine bows to the incense, and then began to move the chopsticks.
"Let's eat a piece of fish." Mu Qingming hugged Mei Xiang, took a piece of fish meat with fish bones removed with chopsticks, and put it to Mei Xiang's mouth: "There is more than every year." ”。
Xiao Meixiang immediately opened her mouth to bite the fish.
"Why are you so exquisite?" Zhao Liang, whose mouth was stuffed with delicious food, said vaguely while chewing on the fragrant meal: "Eat a set of fish." ”。
"The rules set by our ancestors are for future generations." After Mu Qingming finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Miao Jue and said, "For the sake of Inspector Zhao's food money, go and get the jar wine to give Inspector Zhao two sips." ”。
Miao Jue put down his chopsticks and got up and went to the kitchen.
After a while, Zhao Liang brought a jar of herb wine and an ancient rattan cup carved from a century-old vine.
"I didn't expect you, a person who doesn't drink a drop of wine, to still have wine hidden at home." After opening the seal, there was a fragrant and mellow aroma wafting out of it, Zhao Liang took a deep breath, closed his eyes slightly, and his face was comfortable.
"You weren't born when I drank." Mu Qingming smiled and said casually, and sandwiched some dishes for Mo Han and Miaojue.
Zhao Liang, who was pouring wine for himself, thought he was joking, and didn't take it seriously, so he said with a smile: "The entire Kunming Dam can really blow, you just continue to blow, I'll drink my wine." After taking a sip of wine, smash it and smash it.
The rest of the herb wine was in the ancient rattan cup, and the aroma increased greatly.
"Uncle Mu, Brother Miao Jue bought me a lot of artillery and weather, can I go to the door to put a few after eating?" Mei Xiang, who was sitting on Mu Qingming's lap, listened to the sound of artillery outside the door, and asked with big eyes.
"Okay, I'll put a few after dinner." Mu Qing nodded without thinking about it, and said with a smile: "I haven't played this thing for many years." ”。
A few people talked and laughed while eating, and a meal lasted for three hours, until the sun set in the west mountain, and after nightfall, it was regarded as three rounds of wine and five flavors of food.
Brilliant fireworks of all kinds reflect the sky over Kunming into a colorful color.
Zhao Liang, who was so drunk that his ears and cheeks were already red, leaned back against the back of the chair and ripped open the first opening of his clothes, opened his mouth and gave a long wine burp, and gave Mo Han a thumbs up with a little envy, and said with a little big tongue: "Sister-in-law's cooking is delicious, Brother Mu is really blessed." ”。
"If you like to eat, love to eat, you are welcome in our family." Mo Han smiled and whispered, "As long as you pay the food fee, you can eat every day in the future." ”。
As he spoke, there was a sharp knock at the door.
Mu Qing listened carefully, and after making sure that the voice was indeed coming from outside the door of the small courtyard, he gave Miao Jue a look and asked him to open the door to take a look.
Miao Jue went in response, walked to the back of the gate and opened the door gate, slowly opened the gate, through the light of the fire in the lanterns on both sides of the door, saw that there was a sweaty and anxious little policeman standing outside the door, and instinctively asked: "Who are you looking for?" ”。
This little policeman's surname is Wang, and his name is brother, and he is the little policeman who was sent by Zhao Liang to Leshan to investigate Muqing's underworld, and he is also Zhao Liang's apprentice; I just came back from Leshan yesterday.
"Wishing you prosperity, great fortune." The little policeman Wang Lige put away his anxiety first, and waved his hand to Miaojue, and then said: "I looked for Inspector Zhao, and my colleagues in the hall said that he came here." ”。
"Come with me." After smiling back, she turned sideways and welcomed Brother Wang in.
When he came to the main hall, without waiting for Miao Jue to move a chair for him, Brother Wang stood beside Zhao Liang and bent down to mumble something in the other party's ear.
"Tell me directly, there are no outsiders in this house; What are you doing in my ear? Zhao Liang, who was a little impatient, didn't finish listening to his words, so he shouted loudly.
"Yes!" Brother Wang hurriedly stood up straight and said loudly: "Someone burned the body on Yuantong Mountain. ”。
"What?" Suddenly, Zhao Liang, who had woken up a lot, got up, but he was stunned in place and stared at Brother Wang in front of him with an incredible gaze......
Mu Qingming didn't want to go out, but he was still called out by Zhao Liang, and followed Brother Wang towards Yuantong Mountain.
The Yuantong Mountain, which is long from east to west and narrow from north to south, is shaped like a willow leaf. During the Republic of China, there was no zoo, and in addition to cherry blossoms, begonias and wild grasses, there were only some towering rocks on the steep mountains.
The three of them came to the northern foot of Yuantong Mountain, close to the small vegetable garden, and saw a lot of policemen and ordinary people around the foot of the mountain.
Zhao Liang walked over and smelled a strong smell of kerosene in the air, and when he looked at the crowd, he saw that at the foot of the mountain behind the policemen, there were two charred black stones, and a scorched corpse was still smoking in the crack in the middle of the stone.
The body was charred with black corpses, the skin and flesh were already scorched, and the facial features could not see anything clearly.
Liu Yang, a forensic doctor from the provincial department, also arrived at the scene and was directing two or three policemen to move away the boulder, intending to move the charred corpse out of the crack in the stone for a preliminary investigation.
Mu Qingming stood on the periphery, looking around at the terrain without saying a word. Near here, not far from the east of Yuantong Mountain, there is a small village of dozens of people, and the rest of the place is a field of Qianmo.
And the Yuantong Mountain behind is also full of trees and weeds. Such a place is inaccessible at night and the best place to commit murder.
A thought flashed through Mu Qingming's mind: Could it be that someone knew about the cremation case by the Bada River a few days ago, and then used the method of burning corpses to cover people's eyes and ears after killing people again.
And Zhao Liang saw that it was a charred corpse again, and the corpse was still emitting green smoke, presumably it was still burning, so he immediately frowned, turned to the policeman next to him and asked, "Who found it?" ”。
"I found it." Before the police could speak, a middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and said reluctantly: "I thought about taking my children to this neighborhood to set off fireworks, and I saw that there was a fire here, and I thought that someone was burning paper money for my ancestors." But thinking that there is a big mountain behind this, and the weather is dry, don't light Yuantong Mountain with this fire, just come and have a look. ”。
At this point, the man couldn't say any more, and his hands kept shaking. Seeing the cremation site with his own eyes, it was not normal for him not to be afraid.
"Did you see who burned the corpse here?" Mu Qingming stepped forward and asked.
The middle-aged man shook his head blankly, and then trembled again.
At this moment, forensic doctor Liu Yang stood up, walked to Mu Qingming and Zhao Liang, glanced around at the two, and after letting the discoverer leave, he whispered to Zhao Liang and Mu Qingming: "It's the same as what was found by the Bada River, but I can't find the skull and brain. The rest of the details will have to be carefully examined after I go back. ”。
Why is this charred corpse brainless again? Is it related to human brain porridge? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
