Chapter 9: The Search for the Truth

"Who are you?" Lin Xiao's face was squeezed by the sharp gaze of the Qi team.

Why is a little girl's family so fierce, "I am a villager from Linjia Village." ”

"How do you know he's not committing suicide?" Team Qi came to Lin Xiao and asked.

Looking at the little girl's eyes, Lin Xiao was the object of suspicion. "I don't know, just casually, Sixth Sense." Lin Xiao shrugged.

"If you're full, what kind of mess." Team Qi glanced at Lin Xiao, turned around and shouted, "Take the corpse back for autopsy." Others closed the line. ”

Hey, blame me for being a! Lin Xiao had the urge to slap his big mouth.

Lin Ergou's suicide did not set off a big wave in Linjia Village. has no father, no mother, no relatives and no reason, and is a scoundrel on weekdays, so naturally he can't be pitied.

There is a line in a movie that says that a person dies three times in his life. The first time, when your heart stops beating and your breathing disappears, you are biologically declared dead; The second time, when people attend your funeral, they declare that you cease to exist in this society; The third time is when the last person who remembers you forgets you, and then you are truly dead, and the whole world will no longer be about you.

Lin Ergou belongs to the people who have really died for the first time.

The night in the countryside always comes a little early, just before the smoke curls, and soon everything is silent, only the bright moon in the sky looks down on the earth coldly. Lin Xiao didn't sleep, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Lin Ergou couldn't have committed suicide. With his heartless characteristic, it is his life creed that it is better to die than to live.

Lin Xiao woke up Jabby and prepared to go to Lin Ergou's house to have a look.

"Filial son, do you really want to go? In the middle of the night, what should I do if I run into something that is not clean? Jabby cowered and followed behind Lin Xiao.

"There's me! You're scared of a fart. I'm walking in the world with a gate of heaven, and when the little ghost sees me, he has to call me grandpa. Lin Xiao is full of confidence.

"I still don't think it's reliable."

"Don't talk nonsense, keep up."

The door of Lin Ergou's house was open, like a bloody mouth in the dark night. Lin Xiao turned on the flashlight and walked into the house. The furnishings of Lin Ergou's house are very simple, with a square table, a few benches, and a cupboard. On the beams of the house, the rope was still hanging silently, and when the wind blew, it shook gently, like a dying man, struggling weakly.

"Squeak". The door behind him suddenly shut. The hairs on Lin Xiao's back stood on end, and he jumped up, ", who?" ”

Lin Xiao's movements scared Jabby behind him half to death, and he almost didn't cry: "What are you doing!" What do you hear? ”

"Ahem, ahem, it's okay, it's okay, I'm teasing you." The door turned out to be closed by Jiebi, Lin Xiaolao's face turned red, and he covered up.

There was no trace of a fight in the whole hall, and the tables and chairs were not messy, and it looked like a suicide scene. But Lin Xiao just felt that something was wrong, and he vaguely felt that things must not be so simple. At this moment, a small object on the ground caught his attention.

The door behind "Squeak" was gently pushed open, and a figure appeared on the ground.

Lin Xiao's scalp has exploded, damn, who is it? I don't really want to see it. Jabby was even more frightened and hugged Lin Xiao, his face turned pale.

"Why are you two here?" A familiar figure came from behind him.

It's a team! What are these doing!

Lin Xiao calmed down, what happened today, he almost didn't scare himself half-body.

"Let's just come and see, Lin Ergou is our friend, and when others leave, they feel unhappy, so they come here to remember." Lin Xiao wanted to squeeze out a few tears, but he was still almost hot.

"What about you as my three-year-old? I now suspect that you have come to deliberately destroy the scene of the crime. Would you like to come with me? Team Qi didn't talk nonsense, and directly took out the handcuffs around his waist.

Lin Xiao complained bitterly: "Officer, you seem to be a little overbearing." ”

"Officer, you talk, I'm passing by." Jabby smiled awkwardly and tried to move outside.

"If you don't make it clear today, you won't be able to get out." Team Qi kicked Jabby back.

It seems that today is not avoidable.

"Team Qi, I guess you came here tonight because you didn't think it was a simple suicide. And I think the same as you. Indeed, this is not suicide. Lin Xiao looked at the team and said seriously.

"Proof!"

"I don't have it yet, but I already have a rough inference in my mind. Now I need to be able to tell me about the previous suicides. ”

In this regard, the Qi team did not hide it. The most recent suicides took place not far from Linjia Village. The deceased people are in a similar situation to Lin Ergou, they are all lonely and widowed, they all died of suffocation by hanging, and the results of the autopsy are also consistent with the characteristics of suicide. So the first few cases ended up being suicides.

However, so many suicide incidents still made the Qi team suspicious. Although these people are lonely and widowed, and their lives are relatively difficult, through interviews, we know that most of them are still optimistic and do not want to commit suicide at all. But if you want to say that he killed, there is no evidence to support it, they are all dispensable people in their respective villages, there are no enemies, no lovers, and no money. Who would have nothing to do to kill these marginalized people in society?

"Team, what about the bodies of the first few suicides?" Lin Xiao thought for a while and asked.

"The bodies were returned to their respective villages, and they were buried. Why is this so, you ask? The corpses were all dissected without any problems. Team Qi wondered.

"If there is a problem, you will only know after reading it. Team, are you interested in leading the way and walking together? Perhaps the answer will soon be revealed. Lin Xiao invited.

Jebby's car is right at the entrance of the village. The three of them got into the car and disappeared into the night after a short time.

"Do you really want to dig up? Lin Xiao, you're too perverted. This night, this scene, I don't want to know you. "Jabby's dead heart can fill a basket.

Team Qi frowned, gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better pray that you can find something after digging up, otherwise, you will prepare your wheelchair." ”

Although cremation has always been advocated, the people in Mengshan have always followed the "Zhou Li" "All living beings must die, and death must return to the earth". The trio were going to dig up the grave of a man who had recently committed suicide.

The tomb is new, and so is the earth. It is naturally not difficult to dig up, and the three of them offended and dug up. Soon, a thin-skinned coffin was revealed. Lin Xiao and Jabby jumped out of the pit and lifted the coffin board hard, and suddenly, a foul smell came to the nose, and it directly smoked and vomited Jabby.

Under the illumination of the flashlight, a half-decomposed corpse appeared in front of the three people. It had already become a maggot's paradise, and Jabbie couldn't stand the heavy scene and hid in the car.

"Did you notice anything out of the ordinary?" Lin Xiao asked.

Team Qi carefully observed, "Hey, why is his chest cracked?" It looks like someone cut it open. ”

In the end, it was the art master who was bold, and the team also jumped down from the pit, and she directly pushed away the maggots on the chest of the corpse and stretched it out from the cut chest.

When Lin Xiao saw this, he was also sick to his stomach. "I said, are you a girl or not? Don't be so rude, okay? ”

"The heart is gone." Team Qi's face changed, he pulled out his hand and wiped it directly on Lin Xiao's clothes.

"You ......, do you know how expensive this dress is? How can I put up a cop like you? It's really poured eighteen lifetimes of blood mold. Lin Xiao looked at the corpse liquid on his clothes, and wanted to cry without tears.

"Is this a case of reselling human organs? No, what is the use of the organs of the dead, and they cannot be transplanted. Team Qi didn't pay attention to Lin Xiao at all, and said to himself.

Lin Xiao said angrily: "Of course not. Can you think slowly, and restore the tomb to its original state first, so that it is disrespectful to disturb the deceased, and be careful that he comes to you at night. ”……

Several of the other deceased, without exception, had their hearts removed. It seems that these cases are not suicides at all.

"What do you think? Oh, by the way, I don't know what your name is? My name is Qi Xiangqiu. Qi Xiangqiu said and stretched out his hand.

"I'm Lin Xiao." As soon as the two shook hands, Lin Xiao seemed to remember something, and hurriedly shook it off, Qi Xiangqiu's hand touched the corpse, and Lin Xiao's heart was tired. Qi Xiangqiu didn't care.

"My name is Qian Jie, Qiyu Xuanang, Yushu Linfeng, suave, and I am the one who speaks of me." Jabby interjected, but no one paid attention.

"Team, can I take a look at the photos of the first few crime scenes?" Lin Xiao did not directly answer Qi Xiangqiu's question.

"The photo is in the criminal police team. Qian handsome guy, excuse me, go to the criminal police team. ”

"Gotcha! You two, sit tight! "It's been a blast all the way.

All the photos at the scene of the crime were placed in front of Lin Xiao, and he looked at them carefully one by one.

"How? What did you find? Qi Xiangqiu looked at Lin Xiao and put down the photo and asked urgently.

Lin Xiao didn't speak, and immediately pointed to the photo, motioning for Qi Xiangqiu to take a closer look.

"Bugs? Why are there bugs on all these photos? What does this mean? "Qi Xiangqiu is completely messy.

Jabby also picked up the photo and looked, "These bachelors are already dirty, and some bugs are strange." ”

At this time, Lin Xiao took out something from his pocket and put it on the table, which was the insect in the photo.

Lin Xiao ignored the surprised gazes of the two and said, "This was found at Lin Ergou's house. Team Qi, do you know Gu arts? ”

"Yes, but isn't that legendary?"

"Gu art originated in Xiangxi, and it was recorded as early as in "Zuo Chuan". There are many types of Gu, the common ones are snake Gu, insect Gu, sliced Gu, Yin snake Gu, scorpion Gu, live Gu, etc. Gu art was originally used by people to treat diseases, and people manipulated some insects and beasts into their bodies to get rid of diseases. But later, Gu art was used by some people with unrighteous minds, and they started to make money and kill people, and gradually they were not tolerated by the world. The blows of the past dynasties to the Gu art are very big, and it is difficult to see them in our lives. But that doesn't mean that such an ancient form of witchcraft is gone. Today, what you see is the worm Gu in the Gu technique. ”

Lin Xiao pointed to the insect on the table and continued, "This insect is called the Yin Corpse Worm, it is the brain of a sojourner after being tricked into the human body, and it can control people's behavior, and usually does not see anything unusual. You probably didn't notice it when you dissected it. The first few deceased, including Lin Ergou, were all wormed, and the murderer's purpose was obviously to steal the deceased's heart. And Lin Ergou and these people belong to the marginal characters of society, so they are the best targets. Even if there are more deaths, it is difficult to attract attention. ”

"Is there really a Gu magic in the world? Just thinking about it makes me panic. Wouldn't it be easy for those who knew how to use Gu magic to kill people. Jabby couldn't believe his ears.

Qi Xiangqiu also had no idea at this time, Lin Xiao's words completely subverted her cognition, and it felt like a fantasy. But the facts can't allow her not to believe it, otherwise how can she explain everything that happened.

"What does the murderer want his heart for? What do we do next? Qi Xiangqiu looked at Lin Xiao and asked.

"We wait. Since the murderer needs the heart of a dead man, presumably after Lin Ergou is buried, he will definitely come to patronize. Then we will be able to know the true face of his Lushan. Lin Xiao clenched his fists and said.

For such a fact, Lin Xiao's heart is angry, people, no matter what the purpose, can not innocently deprive others of their lives. Lin Xiao knew that what he was facing next would not be a simple character, and as a human walking man with a gate to heaven, he would usher in his first challenge.
