Ling Hu Yunfei had to admire these tomb robbers, the location of the entrance to the cave was only three or four steps away from the entrance of the tomb road, and with such a small amount of earthwork, I am afraid it would not take about half a month.

Linghu Yunfei returned to the entrance of the cave, and at this time, Zhao Zimeng was lying at the entrance of the cave, and he was also holding a lamp in his hand.

Zhao Zimeng used a lamp to sweep both sides of the ladder and the corpse, and found that there was a blue dress spread out in the middle of the fifty centimeters between the ladder and the corpse.

Ling Hu Yunfei picked up his clothes and observed, this was a blue shirt, the bottom two buttons were off, and there were three buttons left, one of the sleeves - the right sleeve had been torn from the armpit.

Yunfei guessed that the shirt might have been left behind by tomb robbers at the scene—and this was exactly what everyone needed—it was the first remnant of the scene.

If you include blue and white porcelain tiles, bronze mirrors and horse lanterns, this should be the fourth remnant.

Xiao Luhan took out a plastic bag from the criminal investigation box.

Lin Di, who was outside the entrance of the cave, took the clothes from Zhao Zimeng's hand and handed them to Xiao Luhan's hand.

Xiao Luhan took the clothes and put them in a plastic bag.

Except for clothes, Linghu Yunfei didn't find anything else, Yunfei raised his head and shouted towards the entrance of the cave: "Xiaolin, give me the camera, the place below is too small, I'll take pictures." ”

Lin Di took off the camera hanging around his neck and handed it to Yunfei. Taking a picture first, followed by an autopsy, is the most basic procedure, and the original state of the scene is reflected in the photograph.

Sure enough, the corpse had no head.

The deceased was shirtless, and wore a pair of silver-gray trousers - a pair of trousers, a cow belt tied around his waist, the width of the leather was three centimeters, and the head of the belt was copper.

The corpse was lying on its side, with the front facing east and the back facing west.

Linghu Yunfei took more than a dozen photos from all angles.

Because the space under the cave is limited, people can only squat inside. Ling Hu Yunfei had to complete the autopsy and take pictures with difficulty alone.

He squatted on the west side of the corpse, this narrow thief hole, even if it was only Ling Hu Yunfei, was very cramped.

Ling Hu Yunfei took advantage of the light of the lamp to carefully observe the incision on the deceased's neck, which was almost on the level of the shoulder.

Previously, Linghu Yunfei had also been in contact with a headless corpse, when the murderer cut off the head of the deceased, there would generally be a section of the neck, why did the murderer cut off the head on the shoulder level?

Yun Fei secretly analyzed: There are only two possibilities, the first possibility is that the deceased has a very special mark on his neck - either a birthmark or a scar. The second possibility is that the neck of the deceased is much longer than that of the average person, which is also a more prominent physiological feature.

He also noticed that the soil under the neck of the deceased was black, and there were several incisions about one centimeter deep in the black soil. The edges of the incision are not very even, which is supposed to be caused by the murderer's repeated slashes when he cut the neck of the deceased.

Ling Hu Yunfei aimed the light of the lamp at the incision in his neck, and there were two incisions of different depths in the upper incision of the deceased's neck.

The incision left on the neck and the incision left on the ground further proved Ling Hu Yunfei's judgment, and the murderer brutally slashed several times before cutting off the deceased's head.

After learning from Qin Dazhao that the deceased was headless, Ling Hu Yunfei kept thinking: Why did the murderer cut off the deceased's head?

According to past experience, there is only one situation in which the murderer will do this, that is, he is afraid that people will recognize the deceased, and without a head, the identity of the deceased cannot be determined.

The people who engage in this kind of business are generally people from the same family, most of them are sons inheriting their father's business, and they are wandering to commit crimes, and the local people may be smaller, if they are not locals, then what kind of purpose does the murderer have to make his body go to a different place?

Therefore, it is very likely that the deceased was a local, and it is very likely that there was some kind of relationship between the deceased and the murderer.

After the murderer succeeded, he wanted to get out of the way, so he created a headless case, and even if the body of the deceased was found, the police might not be able to find it.

Yun Fei hung the lamp on a bamboo ladder, the beam of light of the lamp was just enough to cover the entire corpse, and he untied the laces of the deceased's leather shoes.

Before Ling Hu Yunfei hung up the lights, he had already carefully examined the surroundings of the corpse.

He saw only twenty cigarette butts at the bottom of the ladder, about thirty centimeters from the corpse's feet—the same kind with a filter, each with only the filter remaining—and the cigarettes were smoked very well and without any waste.

The deceased was small in size and thin, with a height of about one meter six or five - Ling Hu Yunfei also took the deceased's neck into account.

Linghu Yunfei looked at the deceased's hand, there were no calluses on his palms, his nails were relatively short, and the inside of his nails was very clean.

He took off the shoes and socks of the deceased and looked at the deceased's feet, whose heels were clean and clean, and his toenails were as neat and smooth as his fingernails—there are not many people in life who take such care of their toenails.

Obviously, this person's profession is not tomb robbing, if it is a tomb robber, because of the force, the hands are mostly rough, the palms have calluses, and the heels should have old skin.

The deceased's pants were a pair of all-wool trousers, and most of the deceased were decent people before his death, which further proved Ling Hu Yunfei's judgment, how could anyone wear a suit and pants to rob the tomb?

Ling Hu Yunfei slowly straightened the body of the deceased, untied the cow belt, and inside was a pair of high-grade pale yellow full-wool autumn pants with black vertical stripes, and opened the autumn pants, revealing a pair of flower pants inside.

The deceased's shoes were a pair of Emerald Bird leather shoes - the sign was very clear, and they were a pair of shoes that had just been worn. The Emerald Bird brand is quite loud, and it is impossible for tomb robbers to wear such shoes to dig holes and rob tombs.

Seeing this outfit, Yun Fei had an idea: the deceased may be the organizer of the tomb robbery, not the implementer. Towards the end of the tomb robbery and the departure of the people, the deceased was left behind.

Linghu Yunfei stood up and shouted towards the entrance of the cave, "Throw down the body bag." ”

The light in the cave is poor, so the autopsy can only end here. After returning to the criminal investigation team, Zhao Zimeng, Ling Hu Yunfei and Xiao Changsong had to do further examination of the body.

The deceased's head is gone, but there should be some prominent features on the deceased's body.

Xiao Luhan took the body bag from Lu Qian's hand and threw it under the hole.

Ma Jianping pulled the bamboo ladder out of the hole.

Linghu Yunfei put the body into the body bag and closed the zipper.

Xiang Daimo threw down a rope.

Linghu Yunfei grabbed the end of the rope and tied the rope to the body bag.

Xiang Daimo and Ma Jianping grabbed the other end of the rope and pulled the body bag out of the thief hole, and when the body bag was pulled out of the thief hole, there was a noise outside the hole.

After the body was removed from the cave, Linghu Yunfei carefully examined the underside and around the corpse - Yunfei hoped to find the remnants.

There was also some dirt underneath and around the body.

Ling Hu Yunfei brushed aside the clods of soil.

The hard work paid off, and he found a copper button under the soil under the deceased's body: "Button - Team Zhao, look." Linghu Yunfei handed the button to Zhao Zimeng, who was lying at the entrance of the cave.

Zhao Zimeng took it and observed it carefully: this button was buckled from a railway uniform.

This button may have been on the clothes of the tomb robbers - either on the clothes of the deceased or on the clothes of the murderer, and it is difficult to say whether the clothes found at the scene were those of the dead or the tomb robbers.

This button is crucial to the case.

After Linghu Yunfei finished removing all the broken soil, Ma Jianping put the bamboo ladder into the hole, and Zhao Zimeng and Xiang Daimo walked down the bamboo ladder.

Next, Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei planned to go to the tomb along the robbery cave to take a look, according to Zhao Zimeng's experience, there should be several people involved in the tomb robbery, and there may be more than one person who encountered the poison.

"Xiao Luhan, let Professor Le and Professor Nie come down."

At this time, the two professors were anxiously crouching at the entrance of the cave and looking into the cave.

The two professors have been waiting for this moment to come. They were so interested in bronze mirrors and porcelain tiles that they must have been even more interested in burial chambers. After all, people are engaged in this kind of research!

The two professors put on masks and gloves and went up the bamboo ladder with the help of Ma Jianping.

Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng caught the two professors below.

"Xiang Daimo, you also come down - bring another lamp down."

Xiang Daimo took the lamp from Lin Di's hand and slowly descended to the bottom of the cave.

The narrow thief cave suddenly became extremely crowded, Ling Hu Yunfei held the lamp in front, Xiang Daimo followed in the end with the lamp, and everyone walked forward with difficulty in a half-squat.

Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei helped the two professors, they were old, and it was indeed a little difficult for them to squat in the thief cave.

Zhao Zimeng reminded Xiang Daimo to pay attention to the soles of his feet, he hoped to find something under his feet, although this possibility is very small, this group of tomb robbers has spent so much time and so much effort, they will definitely loot the contents of the tomb.

Ling Hu Yunfei moved his steps and used his hands to remove the broken soil under his feet, he didn't want to miss anything.

This is also what the two professors meant, although the burial goods in the tomb have been looted by the tomb robbers, they hope that the tomb robbers will leave something behind in their hurry.

After moving forward about two meters, Ling Hu Yunfei suddenly stopped.

Professor Nie, who was closely behind Zhao Zimeng, saw Ling Hu Yunfei pull out a round jade pendant under the broken earth, located at a right angle below the right wall of the right cave.

The jade pendant is ring-shaped, hollowed, the diameter of the jade pendant is about nine centimeters, the diameter of the ring in the middle is about five centimeters, the color is white and yellowish, some patterns can be vaguely seen on it, and some black soil - or black mud is attached, and only a small part of the pattern is exposed.

Linghu Yunfei gently picked up the jade pendant, looked at the front first, then the back, and then handed it to Professor Nie's hand, and at the same time aimed the light of the lamp at the ring jade.
