CHAPTER XXII
It wasn't late at night, and I told him that the ghosts would only come out at midnight. The kid relented a bit, and told me in all seriousness that he wasn't afraid. I'm just afraid I'm bored.
Without further ado, my memory is pretty good, and I didn't find any mistakes. When you find a dry river, you see the rows of willow trees. It's just that there are so many that I really forgot which one it was for a while. And there are some dead animals here, and I don't know what bastard threw them, and they stink terribly.
"Brother Chen, what now? Why don't you go back and dream again? Shen Hao gave me this sentence without a clue.
I gave him a blank look and said, "Li Na is no longer in my dream, what are you dreaming about now?" ”
Shen Hao took a flashlight and shone a few willow trees in front of him, and replied, "Then you don't mean to let me dig them one by one, right?" ”
This, I really don't need to. I seemed to see something on one of the trees that he had just shaken by his flashlight. Before I could answer him, I hurriedly used my flashlight to look in the direction he had just looked, and sure enough, I knew which one it was.
"Mouse, do you see? It's the willow tree with two branches at the bottom. I pointed and told him.
Shen Hao asked me with some doubts: "Sticking branches?" You said that this is probably related to the murderer, could it be a deliberate mark made by the murderer? ”
"If you don't believe it, you can bet that you will dig under that willow tree. How about a hundred bucks? I told him with a smile.
Shen Hao tilted his head and thought about it, and turned his face sideways. Said: "Bet! I don't believe you're really that god, as long as it's not what you remember. I'm still afraid that you won't make it? ”
"I've never seen a willow tree like this in my dreams." I answered with my hands outstretched.
"Okay, just do it!" Shen Hao rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to start digging.
I took turns digging with him, and the resting one was in charge of lighting. It's not hard to dig at all, and the soil is a little loose, as if someone has dug it up beforehand. The more Shen Hao digs into his heart, the more unsound he becomes, but he can't get over his face, and it's not easy to take back what he says.
About half an hour or so, Shen Hao looked at it in a daze when he saw something wrapped in yellow cloth in the pit. I smiled and threw a look, threw away the shovel, and picked up the package.
"What could it be?" Shen Hao looked at me and asked.
I opened it with certainty and replied, "Li Na's head." ”
The yellow cloth was opened, Shen Hao screamed, and sat on the ground again. I guessed right, it was indeed Li Na's head. I wrapped my head in a yellow cloth again, took out my mobile phone and called Liu Yiyi, telling her about the situation here.
"Brother Chen, you ...... How the hell did you know it was this willow tree? And it will be Li Na's head buried inside? After resting for a while, Shen Hao also eased up. He pulled out a hundred dollars and handed it to me, asking.
I took the money between my fingers, shook it in front of his eyes, and said, "Thank you." ”
"Don't sell it, tell me quickly." Shen Hao was a little unconvinced. "Don't tell me you're just guessing."
I took two branches that we had uprooted, one of peach and one of willow. I told him that it was called the Peach Bow Willow Sword. It can suppress ghosts to a certain extent, and although the willow tree is a kind of yin wood, it is different with peach wood, which is a very powerful natural evil suppression weapon.
This murderer seems to know a little about this, but it is not too surprising, because many people in the countryside know about this. For example, the willow branch fights the ghost, and hits the three inches shorter.
The murderer was probably worried that Li Na's ghost would seek revenge on him, so after burying her head, he suppressed it with a peach bow and willow sword. Li Na didn't dare to approach here, and to a certain extent, it would also cause Li Na to fear him in her heart and dare not take revenge.
So when I saw this, I guessed it would be here. Needless to say, the rest will be said.
"Brother Chen, I really admire you. You say that you're a professor, and you still know a lot about this. Use Taoism to assist reasoning, strong. After hearing this, Shen Hao no longer felt sorry for his hundred yuan.
I laughed and said it was just a hobby, and I didn't expect it to help with that. After chatting for a long time, Liu Yiyi arrived, and it came quite quickly. But when I got out of the car, I glared at Shen Hao, and I asked her to give me a pair of gloves and work first.
Liu Yiyi handed me the gloves and asked me if I wanted to take them back first. I shook my head, some questions are better to check clearly on the spot, if you take it with you, I don't know what will happen halfway.
In addition to the blood on the neck, the head has the most blood on the lips. I gently pulled her mouth open, frowned, and said, "Mouse, you'd better look again, I suspect there's something in the pit." ”
"Oh, good." Shen Hao agreed, and took the flashlight to find it again in the pit.
Liu Yiyi asked me what it was, and I asked her to come and see. The rest of the skull is intact, except for the missing front teeth.
She said a word to help, and got up to find it in the pit with Shen Hao. Holding the skull, I carefully examined the gum position of the front tooth on the left, and I was sure that the tooth had not been lost for a long time, and that it was due to some external force, similar to a hard object, and the gum was still rotten.
Why on earth did the killer knock out one of her teeth? Is it related to the method of killing her?
Unfortunately, it took Liu Yiyi and them several hours to dig through the soil we had dug up earlier, but they couldn't find the knocked out tooth. We had to send the skull back for a deeper examination.
Although it was night, our three flashlights were bright, and even if there was blood, a white tooth was not so easy to ignore. Not being able to find it only means that the killer disposed of the tooth.
The person in charge of the inspection was Wang Da'an, and this kid did the inspection very carefully inside and out. The end result was that Li Na's head had indeed been hit hard in the mouth after it was cut off. This caused her front teeth to fall out and residual fibers were found on the teeth next to the front teeth.
Fibre? Everything in my mind about this case suddenly became a mess, and I couldn't figure it out. My head hurt and I held my head and roared.
"Xiaofeng, what's wrong with you?" Liu Yiyi squatted down next to the chair and looked at me with concern and asked.
"It can't be cursed by Li Na, right?" Shen Hao said with palpitations.
Liu Yiyi scolded angrily and shut your stinky mouth, I held my head and told her: "It's okay, it's just that there are some things that I need to think about clearly." ”
Maybe my behavior is indeed a little scary, and Wang Daan also looked at me in surprise. I told her it was okay, give me some time and I could figure it out. Then I asked for the confessions and investigation results of Ma Yingtai's others, and called Shen Hao to go back to the dormitory together.
Shen Hao has been complaining about Liu Yiyi because I lost my temper with him, and I didn't have the heart to care about this. When he got to the dormitory, he went to sleep. I've been playing backgammon with my phone in hand.
This is a quirk from childhood to adulthood, when there is something unclear, I like to play small games, such as puzzles, Rubik's cubes or something. Now I can only use backgammon instead, this thing is not difficult, it takes a little skill to win, and it can effectively temporarily sober me up from the chaos and concentrate.
