Chapter Forty-Eight: The Girl in Red
I nodded, thinking that this must be the Yellow River evil cult doing the trick, if it weren't for the formation left by the senior brother, it is estimated that the village would have suffered a long time ago!
While chatting, the group returned to the village.
Let them carry the ancient bell to the courtyard of the village branch first, and wait for the next river sacrifice ceremony tomorrow, I thought about the gorgeous, and trotted to her house.
"Gorgeous! Gorgeous! I am back! "As soon as I got to the gate, I shouted.
At that time, I was full of anticipation, thinking about giving Yanli a big hug.
When I arrived at the door of the house, I didn't hear Yanli agree.
Isn't she at home? But the door is open! I muttered to myself and pushed the door.
The door was closed, and it was closed from the inside.
That's not right! It's not like Yanli is joking with me! Probably not! She hadn't seen me for so long, she must have thought about it to death, and besides, she wasn't that kind of character!
Thinking so, I subconsciously bent down and looked in through the glass of the door.
I only took one look, and I was so shocked that my soul flew!
I shouted that there was a person hanging in the room, and look closely! No way! This person is gorgeous!
At that time, I was also in a hurry, and I just kicked it and used up all my strength.
The door slammed open, and I saw a red rope hanging from the beam, and Yanli hung from the rope with her feet off the ground.
OMG! I rushed up in a hurry, holding her legs, trying to pull her off the rope, but after several attempts, I couldn't do it.
At that time, my heart was also confused, my brain was buzzing, and there was only one thought in my heart, and that was that I couldn't let go anymore.
If you don't let go, you can't cut the rope, so you have no choice but to shout loudly.
"Help! Come and save people! ”
I tried my best to make these sounds, although a little hoarse, but I believe that half of the old temple village can hear them.
Soon, Uncle Li and Aunt Li next door ran in and helped cut the rope with the stool, and then Wang Jiliang and the others also arrived one after another.
"What's going on?"
Wang Jiliang asked.
Seeing the gorgeous appearance, he also gasped, and hurriedly shouted to the people who came in behind him, "Hurry up and call the police, hurry up and call the police......"
Originally, I had imagined how excited Yanli would be to see me, and even what I said and did in advance, but now I saw a stiffened corpse.
I can't take it anyway.
After the gorgeous corpse was laid flat on the ground, I also tried to use the Taoist skills I mastered to wake her up, didn't I play "Resurrection from the Dead" in the TV series! However, all the Dao spells flashed through his mind, and none of them were suitable.
Why did Yanli hang herself? It's impossible!
Seeing that Yanli could no longer be saved, I suddenly thought of this problem.
The onlookers also sighed.
One said: "This child's life is suffering, how long has it been!" Father and daughter both died. ”
"Yes! I've been in a good mood to see her for a while, she just came out of the shadow of Li Gui's death, why did she hang herself!" Another muttered.
Aunt Li in the neighborhood has been supporting Yanli, she has watched Yanli grow up, and this sudden change has also caused her to cry.
"What a child! Yesterday was fine, what's going on! ”
As he spoke, he touched his gorgeous face.
"Don't ...... Don't move, Aunt Li! ”
I listened to their words, and gradually woke up from my trance, and I saw Aunt Li wanting to touch her gorgeous face.
At this glance, I could see that something was wrong, Yanli was wearing heavy makeup, especially on her mouth, and she also wore a thick layer of lipstick.
After this period of time with Yanli, I should know her very well.
Yanli hates makeup, especially when other women wear lipstick, she always says that it is like eating dead children's flesh, and more importantly, Yanli has very sensitive skin and is allergic to cosmetics.
I also bought her a set before, and she gave it to a girlfriend in the backstreet.
Now I see the showy but wear heavy makeup, how is this possible?
……
Looking at the makeup on the gorgeous face, it is actually very rough, and it looks like it is done hastily, which is even more wrong!
As soon as I shouted, the room fell silent.
Aunt Li first glanced at me, then turned her head to look at Yanli.
"Hey! Isn't this dress flamboyant? I haven't seen her wear it before! And...... And it's obviously not the right size! ”
As soon as Aunt Li shouted like this, I noticed that Yanli was wearing a red floral cloth coat, which was the kind of clothes often worn by rural women, and it was not suitable for Yanli, and it was obviously a size smaller.
At that moment, my head buzzed, and I unconsciously thought silently: Could it be that Yanli was killed by someone......
More than half an hour later, accompanied by a burst of sirens from far and near, Zhang Kailong led several policemen and forensic doctors to squeeze in.
Seeing the beauty of Aunt Li's support, she was also stunned.
"Everyone retreat outside the courtyard first, don't spoil the scene!"
Zhang Kailong shouted at the onlookers, and then glanced at Wang Jiliang.
Wang Ji understood his conscience and quickly coaxed the neighbors out of the gate.
I know the two female forensic doctors! Once raw and twice ripe! They squatted on the ground very skillfully and performed an autopsy on Yanli, and several policemen who followed Zhang Kailong also dispersed and went around collecting evidence.
"Lao Wang, our old temple village is really evil! How many people have died in months! ”
Zhang Kailong pinched his waist, pursed his lips, and sighed when he saw Wang Jiliang walking in.
"Who's to say it isn't! Captain Zhang, everyone is panicking now......"
Wang Jiliang replied with a sad face.
"Who was the first to arrive at the scene?" Zhang Kailong asked.
"It's Xiao Zhen, he just came back from out of town...... Wang Jiliang replied.
In order not to interfere with the work of the police and forensic doctors, Zhang Kailong called me and Wang Jiliang to the courtyard and questioned them in detail.
At that time, my mind was full of sadness, but since I knew that there was something wrong with Yanli's death, I cheered up and cooperated with Zhang Kailong's questioning.
I recounted the scene I just saw, and Wang Jiliang and Zhang Kailong only slurred.
"The door is closed? How is this possible? ”
Wang Jiliang muttered.
I understand what he meant, if Yanli was killed, then the murderer must have fled, and naturally the door of the house could not be closed from the inside.
"Check if the windows are open!"
After all, Zhang Kailong has a lot of experience, and immediately ordered a few policemen to inspect a few windows, maybe the murderer wanted to deliberately create a mystery, locked the door from the room, and then escaped through the window.
In less than two minutes, several police officers reported to Mr. Zhang that the windows were closed from the inside, and that there were no broken glass or other holes for people to enter and exit.
"This is evil! Could it be that this girl committed suicide? ”
Zhang Kailong muttered to himself with a solemn face.
"Impossible! Yanli can't be a suicide!"
As soon as I heard Zhang Kailong say that Yanli might have committed suicide, I was in a hurry and hurriedly shouted.
"Oh! I'm just assuming that, judging from the situation at the scene, it is indeed inclined to suicide! But how he died will have to wait for my colleagues to look at it before we can draw conclusions. ”
Zhang Kailong asked me again what I thought, and I briefly talked about the glamorous makeup and wearing the unfamiliar small floral cloth clothes.
The expression on Zhang Kailong's face became more solemn.
"Team Zhang! The deceased died between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m., suffocation, with no other injuries found on his body, except ......"
The big-breasted forensic doctor reported to Zhang Kailong.
"Just what? There are no outsiders here, just say it!"
Zhang Kailong replied with a frown.
"It's just that the deceased didn't show the slightest sign of struggling, and theoretically it couldn't be! Unless she was transferred after her death, but she did die of suffocation, and there were no other scars on her body. ”
"It's inconsistent!"
Zhang Kailong's face changed, and he realized that this was another tricky case.
According to common sense, whether active or passive, a person will struggle in the condition of launching when he cannot breathe, but they have carefully examined the gorgeous corpse, and there is no trace of struggle, but the cause of death is determined to be suffocation caused by the rope......
"No injuries on your body? Are there any other anomalies? ”
Zhang Kailong said in a deep voice.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! ”
It may be that these two female forensic doctors have just graduated, they are not experienced enough, and they are not calm enough, and they just reported an opening, and after being interrupted by Zhang Kailong, they forgot about the back. Zhang Kailong reminded him of this, and then remembered.
"There was a needle eye in the center of the deceased's eyebrows, and the preliminary examination was very deep, but there was not a drop of blood coming out of it, which should be ...... It should have been stabbed after death! In addition, we found an Arabic numeral painted with lipstick on the back of the deceased......"
"What number?"
Zhang Kailong and I shouted almost at the same time.
"6 is 6."
Maybe the big-breasted forensic doctor himself felt a little crazy, and his voice trembled a little at the end of the words.
I followed Zhang Kailong a few steps into the house, and saw that Yanli's body had been covered with a white cloth, and I knew that the forensic autopsy would do this after the autopsy was completed.
Zhang Kailong gently uncovered the corner of the white cloth, slowly pulled it open, and I was amazed to see a red "6" on the gorgeous back, which was drawn casually with lipstick.
At that time, a few of us were stunned, this can't be painted by ourselves, and people's arms won't change seventy-two!
"Sure enough, he killed ......"
Zhang Kailong didn't know what to say for a while.
Several police officers also quickly completed the investigation of the scene, and from experience, they were almost certain that the scene had been carefully cleaned, in addition to finding a lot of red wax oil next to the gorgeous corpse, and there was burned incense in the southwest corner......
Other than that, nothing else has been discovered.
"It's a candle and an incense burner, so it looks like some kind of ritual was held!"
Wang Jiliang stood behind me and muttered quietly.
He just said it unintentionally, but after listening to it, I was stunned, and suddenly thought of the first time that Director Yang Guoshan led me, Wang Jiliang, and Antique Li to Linxian to see the ancient clock, and it seemed that he had also found burned incense ashes in the corner.
I had read in a few books left by Master that it was a kind of Taoist technique that could capture people's souls......
