33. The mystery in the clue-6
I asked, "What about later?" ”
"Later, the coffin was stolen and I couldn't find out who made it, but a few days later, one of the coffins was found in a village," Fan said. ”
I asked, "Did the people from this village steal the coffin?" ”
Team Fan said: "I don't know, because later this case was closed and taken over by the above, and then how it was handled is unknown." But that village, you know. ”
I "chuckled" in my heart and asked, "Where?" ”
Team Fan said: "It is the village where there is only one bungalow left, and the coffin that appeared at that time appeared in front of this bungalow, and you should have noticed that this bungalow is a very old-fashioned bungalow." ”
I said, "Yes, but ......."
I just think that there is a subtle connection between them, behind every strange event, there is always a strange connection with some places I know, even places that I think are very ordinary. It was also at this time that I felt that this ordinary village seemed to have become unusual, and I asked: "It turns out that this incident happened to us here, so seventeen years ago, you served in our team?" ”
Team Fan came back to me and said, "Yes. ”
I took a deep breath and felt that there was a question that was already in my throat, and I was about to ask it but forcibly pressed it back, and finally it became another question: "Then why was this village destroyed in the end, and only this bungalow remained?" ”
"I don't know the details very well, it is said that it was a renovation, so the whole village was relocated, and then demolished, but in the end, I don't know why it was abandoned again, and it became what you see now, only the bungalow still exists." ”
I asked, "When did the renovation begin?" ”
Team Fan said: "About seven or eight years ago, it has been abandoned until now. ”
With so many details, it's impossible for me to find the most important connection here, these coffins definitely ended up in that mysterious mountain village, and the destroyed village obviously has a more mysterious connection with that mountain village, but what are these coffins used for?
All the questions went back to the original question, and I asked Team Fan, "Then what do you mean by saying that these coffins are used to hold living people?" ”
"This case can be said to be the first such strange case I have encountered in my life, so I have been looking for the truth of this matter since then, and then I have found some clues in a relatively primitive village," Fan said. ”
I asked, "What clue?" ”
"The old people in that village told me that when they put empty coffins in their houses, they don't use them to hold the dead, but to hold the living, and they have a custom that every year after dark on the second day of the third lunar month, everyone will get into the coffin and will not come out of it until the next day," Fan said. ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
"Their statement is very complicated, and I think it is because every year on that day, someone in this village disappears, and they think that this thing is ghostly, so they came up with this method, and practice has proved that the people who got into the coffin are indeed safe, and no one is missing." ”
I grabbed a couple of keywords, missing, dodging!
I said, "Isn't it ......?"
Team Fan told this matter little by little, in fact, two problems have been solved, first, why are there so many coffins here, and second, why are there dead people upstairs.
I said, "That is to say, the seven coffins here show that there are seven people in this building who are not missing, and the missing people we see in various houses seem to have disappeared out of thin air, and the situation here is the same as you are in that village, so some people know to use this method to escape, but although these people are not missing, they still die in the end, and they are the seven corpses on the upper floor, which are the traces of the seven corpses we see now." ”
Team Fan said: "He Yang, you reacted quickly, I just said a related incident, and you immediately found the answer to your question." Yes, I think so, I think what's happening here is the same thing I knew before. ”
I looked at Zhang Ziang on the side, and he listened to us talk about all this, and I felt that the problem came back to the most important person, and I said, "So that little girl is not one of the seven, so what's the matter with her?" ”
"So that's where we're going to find out, whether the murderer used something to commit the murder, or what caused the murderer to do it," Fan said. ”
Now, I finally understand the meaning of the existence of this special investigation team of the Fan team, it turns out that there are really so many unbelievable things happening around us, even I didn't know anything about it before.
I asked Team Fan: "Team Fan, do you already have any eyebrows, about this case?" ”
Team Fan shook his head, he said, "Have you ever heard a word?" ”
I asked, "What words?" ”
"The more you know, the more ignorant you become. I think this is the case now, the more clues I know, the more I feel like I don't know anything, because these clues are intertwined, like a group of threads without logic, you can't connect these clues completely, and each clue and each clue will even be connected incorrectly, misleading us to think and find in the wrong place, in reality, the result is very time-consuming and laborious, often more than ten or twenty years can not complete the tracking of a clue. ”
I have already experienced what Team Fan said, when there are too many clues, it makes me like a headless fly, and I can't figure out which direction to go at all.
But when I thought of this, I suddenly remembered what Bai Chong said to me in the park, he said that the whole case is like a spider web, but when the spider web is weaving, there are actually two webs, that is, when the last web appears, the first web has been eaten by spiders, so does it mean that the clues of this case all point to the last spider web, but the most basic, skeleton-like original web has disappeared, Is that why we can't find our way all the way?
But now that it's gone, where can you find these clues?
I didn't expect the hint that the master gave me at that time, and I didn't understand it until now, so what was the deeper intention of the master when he said these words to me, so that I could find these clues, or remind me that I was going in the wrong direction?
When I thought of this, I suddenly said, "I think we should find my master Bai Chong." ”
He must know something, plus he asked me to meet here, the more I think about it now, the more I feel that there is a deep meaning in this, and what is even more suspicious is that when I was tracking down the case of the disappearance of the little girl, it was always me who acted with him, if I really came here, saw this little girl, and came up to the building, it is impossible for Master Bai Chong not to know, so what role did he play in this matter?
What's more, if that's the case, then the last time he asked me to meet here, it seemed to have another meaning.
Team Fan said: "I'm afraid it's not easy to see him again." ”
I asked, "Why?" ”
Team Fan said: "If he is really involved here, and now you affirm this, then it means that when he contacted you before, he has given you enough reminders and hints, so you will only find out about his existence after inference now." But since he has given you so many clues and hints, it shows that he knows that you will always figure out what is going on, so when you realize that you are looking for him, you may not be able to find it, unless, he is waiting for you to understand this layer, waiting for you to find him, but which one do you think is more likely? ”
I felt my heart sink for a moment, and I said, "Obviously, the first one is more likely." ”
