Chapter 240: How old am I?
A middle-aged policeman walked out of the depths of the grove, did not speak, and kept looking at him with strange eyes, and only after a long time did he frown and wave his hand behind him: "Handcuffed." ”
"Cuffed, what's the situation?"
Ling Tian shouted and was unceremoniously handcuffed by several policemen.
"Wait." Seeing that Ling Tian was being tortured, the middle-aged policeman took a few steps forward and came to Ling Tian's side.
The policemen tacitly got out of the way, and Ling Tian, who wanted to explode, fell silent directly, and in the pit that was dug, a familiar corpse appeared, which was the young man he thought was leaving.
"It only took an hour to die, and you were the only one at that time. Please assist in the investigation. ”
The words of the middle-aged policeman were with a politeness and heaviness that had never been before.
Ling Tian also surprisingly didn't refute, his mind was full of the words more than an hour now.
Now it had occurred to him that if he had been a little more careful, maybe the pair of young men would not have died.
The guilt made him in a trance, and it wasn't until he arrived at the police station that he was slightly sober.
"I didn't do it?"
Faced with questioning, Ling Tian tried to prove his innocence.
"Now it needs to be investigated, rest assured, although I understand that this matter is weird, but believe me, I will not be wronged by good people. And there was more than one corpse there. ”
Ling Tian nodded, of course he knew that there was more than one corpse.
It's just that the middle-aged policeman didn't mean to explain, and walked out after finishing speaking.
The middle-aged policeman greeted him, and the policemen generously asked him to wait in the hall for questioning.
Ling Tian thanked him politely, but his heart was turning over the river, and it was difficult to reassure him.
Time passed little by little, until the evening, and the middle-aged policeman returned to the police station with a tired face.
After arranging everything, the middle-aged policeman hesitated for a moment before coming to Ling Tian.
Looking at his shocked eyes, Ling Tian suddenly chuckled in his heart: "What's wrong?" ”
"It's a big deal, we've dug up the entire grove, we've found 27 bodies on four floors, and now the temporarily transferred excavator is still working."
"Four floors? What do you mean? Ling Tian, who was surprised by the death toll and asked the point directly.
Under the explanation of the middle-aged policeman, Ling Tiancai understood, after digging out the young man from last night, the middle-aged policeman was about to call it a day, but suddenly thought of the trouble that Ling Tian said, and his heart moved, and let his subordinates continue to dig down.
It didn't matter if it was dug up, just half a meter below the discovery of the body, another body was found, and then every half a meter a corpse appeared, like a hamburger sandwiched together.
In this way, a full four layers were dug directly, and this does not seem to be the end.
With so many bodies discovered, the matter has exceeded the authority of the middle-aged policeman, and Ling Tian, who is the object of suspicion, will also be temporarily detained.
In the middle-aged policeman's apologetic expression, Ling Tian was sent to the detention center, just like the middle-aged policeman said, things are big, and Ling Tian was isolated alone.
Although the middle-aged policeman repeatedly assured that he would investigate clearly, Ling Tian's heart still swelled with a wave of unhappiness.
The police were not ghosts, it was impossible for Ling Tian to punch them over, and it was even more impossible for the ghosts to help.
Sitting on the bed in the detention center, Ling Tian did not feel a trace of sleep.
The horrific scenario of being identified as a murderer is constantly imagining in my mind.
It must be a more terrifying scene than hitting a ghost.
One day, two days, three days, this was the third day of Ling Tian's detention.
In the past three days, the middle-aged policeman would come to the detention center every day, chatting with Ling Tian to relieve his mood, and at the same time asking him some words.
Although the middle-aged policeman told him that there were so many corpses, the focus of suspicion was no longer on Ling Tian.
But Ling Tian found a hint of something wrong in his countenance, which was getting haggard day by day.
At this moment, he was at a loss, indeed, he was more capable than most people, and even this seemingly well-guarded detention center was only slightly troublesome.
But will he be able to go?
He never dared to underestimate the state apparatus.
The middle-aged policeman, who had only come in the morning, rubbed his temples again and walked into Ling Tian's room, although he tried his best to show a calm smile on his face, but the bloodshot eyes and the trace of reluctance at the corners of his mouth were exposed.
"Won't you think I'm a murderer?"
Ling Tian spoke for the first time, and his words were devoid of the dissatisfaction and anger of the previous days, as if he was saying something irrelevant.
The middle-aged policeman's heart tightened, and the smile on his face became more obvious: "What do you think, I'm going to clear your suspicion soon, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Ma Xiao." ”
"yes, that's what you've been saying these days, and you look like you've been transferred."
The smile on his face stiffened, and Ma Xiao's composure couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Ling Tian continued: "You don't have to test me, it doesn't matter if you can't get out, but I want to know the progress. ”
Ling Tian's face was still very flat, without a trace of ups and downs, as if the hysteria of the past few days had exhausted his vitality.
Ma Xiao put away his smile and rubbed his temples, and waited for several minutes before Ma Xiao opened his mouth to explain.
As the excavation of the grove continues, more than 170 corpses have appeared, the earliest part of which is more than 20 years old, and it is precisely because of this that he has been given so much time to relieve.
Even so, it's still a horrific thing. Especially after this incident was reported, rumors spread for a while.
The pressure from the upper echelons and public opinion plunged the entire city into an inexplicable atmosphere.
And as the first person in charge, he simply stood at the center of the storm. Just yesterday, Ma Xiao, who was ineffective in his work, was given a clear order by the leader.
Take a break from work and take a vacation.
"You did your best."
After listening, Ling Tian didn't blame Ma Xiao, he didn't expect that there would be so many corpses buried under the grove, and now no matter the age of these corpses, the police station must give an explanation to the people.
The murderer is a ghost, what are you kidding, such an answer is not to say whether the upper echelons believe it or not, there is no way to announce it at all.
As the only suspect, Ling Tian already had the image of himself sitting through the prison in his mind.
"Ling Tian, listen to my ......."
"Listen to what?" Ling Tian interrupted Ma Xiao's words: "Can you still find a murderer?" 20 years, hehe, I was only a few years old at that time. ”
Ma Xiao was silent, Ling Tian also closed his mouth, and the room was quiet for a while.
Neither of them is an idiot, Ma Xiao is in the system, he knows even more things than Ling Tian, he can't tell lies, and he doesn't dare to tell lies.
After a long time, Ma Xiao slapped the table and stood up, as if the fighting spirit suddenly returned to him: "We can't wronged a good person, and we can't let a bad person go, give me another four days." ”
"There are no bad people in this matter, not even people."
Ma Xiao paused and repeated: "Four days." ”
Ling Tian nodded, turned his head to the narrow window, and from here, the vast sky was only the size of a palm, but fortunately, there was still light.
