Chapter Thirty-Nine: The Skeleton Speaks

Bao Chu has always been attentive and composed, and he is sure that he will not be mistaken—there is no one in the attic.

This greeting from the attic made him startled, and his face changed. The dragon also heard the voice, which felt very strange, not like a human voice. Su Mei shuddered and trembled, what she thought of was - when the special case team came, there was a ghost hitchhiker on the highway**, the small truck overturned, and the ghost may have gotten into the car of the special case team, followed them all the way, and came to the Lin family's house.

At that time, the driver of the pickup truck also heard a voice from behind: Hello.

The driver was so frightened by this sentence that he fell out of the driver's seat, and the car also rolled into the trench under the bridge.

Bao Chop, Hualong, and Su Mei went up to the attic again, because of the rain leakage, the ground was very wet, and there were no footprints.

Su Mei took a picture, and the moment the flash was turned on, he seemed to see a figure standing in the corner, but there was only a pot of iron trees there.

The ceramic flower pot has cracked, it is old, it has lost its original luster, I don't know how long it has been placed in the attic, and the mouth of the pot is strangled with iron wire to prevent it from breaking. Bao Chop stepped forward to inspect it, and when he moved the iron tree, the flower pot cracked and fell to the ground.

Everyone saw that the roots of the iron tree were wrapped in a spherical object, and when the soil was removed, they found that the white root system was densely wrapped around a skull!

The three of them couldn't help but shudder, the skull's mouth open, and the "hello" they had just heard seemed to come from the skull's mouth.

After returning to the Wuning Road Police Station, the old criminal police interrogated the five teenagers who killed Matt one by one, they just went to the haunted mansion to explore and seek excitement, and they didn't know anything about the bloody case in the building. The police station asked them to leave their contact information, and they were let go after criticizing and educating them.

Professor Liang looked at the skull and was silent in thought.

The skull was wrapped in mud and dull in color, and it was judged by visual inspection that it had been buried in the soil for many years.

In 1983, there was a homicide case in the Lin family's house, and the head of the deceased was not found at that time, and the murderer was a psychopath, probably buried the head in a flower pot, but he forgot about it.

Is that headless murder from many years ago related to the current bloodbath?

Is the "hello" they hear really a greeting from another world?

Professor Liang said: Xiaobao, painting dragon, Xiaomei, can you still remember that voice?

Bao Chu said: I can't forget.

The dragon said: Yes, that voice is too weird.

Su Mei said: I'm still scared now, I heard someone behind me say hello, but I couldn't see anyone when I turned around.

Professor Liang said: It's the dead of night now, tomorrow, I want the reporter's recording, you listen carefully, whether the reporter and the attic sound are similar.

The old criminal police officer said: The informant was not found, he dialed the 110 police number from a public phone booth.

The little criminal police officer said: I have been to the phone booth, and there is no monitoring around.

Public phone booths were left out in the cold, and with the spread of mobile phones, fewer and fewer people are now using them. The phone booth was located on the side of a backcountry street with an Internet café and a computer repair shop nearby, and perhaps it was the last public phone booth in the city, which is still in use now, but will be demolished in a while and replaced by a newsstand.

Phone booths are generally idle, the microphone is silent, the display is damaged, and the keys are dented.

Public phone booths on the street now serve only two purposes: first, to post advertisements for psoriasis; 2. Shelter from the rain and become the beginning of a relationship.

In addition to this devouring, there is another use that few people know about: alarming.

Calling 110 is free, and this IC card public phone does not need to be plugged in, and you can dial 110 by picking up the microphone.

That night, someone called the police on a pay phone, claiming that he had killed someone, and then left the address of the Lin family's old house.

This mysterious person is supposed to be the one in the know.

Professor Liang said: "The phone booth, including the human head found in the attic, is not the focus of our investigation.

Bao Chu said: The focus is still on finding the body, as well as the four members of the Lin family.

The old criminal policeman said: The head of the house is called Lin Zhonghua, who is engaged in the business of cordyceps, ginseng, bird's nest and other precious medicinal materials, his ancestral home is Hebei, and he travels to Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland all the year round, and has many properties.

Hualong said: The Lin family's old house has not been rented for a long time.

Su Mei said: The medical examiner believes that there were at least six people who died, but only four people's DNA was detected, who are the other two?

The little criminal policeman said: I have a hunch that the four people in the Lin family's household registration book are likely to be killed, which is why we can't find them. The other two people may have been murderers, and the murderers were also killed, maybe by ghosts, and that building was too evil.

The old criminal policeman said: What do you know, the special case team is here, you dare to guess, it's really a hatchet. When the special case team cracked the big case, you were still nursing in your mother's arms, and you were still a ghost, a god, and you were the one who was trembling with fear, which was really embarrassing to the police.

Everyone laughed, the electronic clock on the wall of the police station pointed to 1 o'clock in the evening, and the old detective yawned and went to sleep. There were only four people left in the special case team in the room, and the little detective seemed to be hesitating about something, behaving a little abnormally, and refused to leave, and in the end, he made up his mind and knelt down!

The special case team was very surprised, Su Mei said: Hey, hey, what is the little brother, why did you kneel down when you scared me?

The little detective said excitedly to Professor Liang: I want to apprentice, I want to worship you as a teacher, Professor Liang, please accept me.

Bao Chu said: Don't you have a master?

Hualong said: This must be regarded as a betrayal of the master, and besides, Uncle Liang already has an apprentice, and Xiaobao is.

The little criminal policeman began to beg Professor Liang to take him as an apprentice, calling Bao Chu a senior brother, and Bao Chu and Professor Liang couldn't cry or laugh.

Su Mei smiled and said to Professor Liang: Uncle Liang, you can accept him, I think this little brother is very sincere, but he is a little timid.

Professor Liang took out a photo and said casually: If you want me to take you as an apprentice, you can, you go and bring this round stool.

The photo was taken by Su Mei, and the round stool in the photo is the old furniture of the Lin family's house, and a young man who killed Matt once held this round stool for self-defense. The little detective was afraid, he was already very timid, and now he wanted him to go to the haunted old mansion again to get this round stool alone, and he was reluctant to do so, but he knew that this was Professor Liang's test for him, and he wanted him to retreat. He gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage and said, "I'll go." After finishing speaking, the little criminal policeman regretted it, and retreated in his heart, and went to the ghostly old mansion in the middle of the night, which was really a fatal thing.

Su Mei scared him: Little brother, there are ghosts in that building, don't go.

The little criminal policeman had just joined the work, and the bureau would not equip him with a gun, so he silently hung batons, flashlights, handcuffs, etc. on his body, and there was a lot of thunder outside, and he walked into the rain in order to worship Professor Liang as a teacher.

An hour later, the little detective returned.

He rushed into the police station, I don't know if he was tired or scared, he was particularly embarrassed, it seemed that he ran all the way back, and fell a few times.

He put the round stool he had brought back on the ground, panted and said, "I...... I've got a ghost again!

In order to apprentice, the little criminal policeman had the courage to come to the Lin family's old house again. When he went upstairs, he walked into the room where the old furniture was kept, and all he wanted was to grab a stool and hurry away. However, in the empty room, there was a faint sound,

The little detective listened attentively, and there was a sound of curtains being drawn in the room, but the curtains did not move. The little detective turned pale with fright, picked up the round stool and ran, kicked a pair of shoes at the door, fell when he went downstairs, and rolled down the stairs.

The little detective was frightened and simply said something haunted, and everyone didn't care, and the timid often hallucinated.

The little detective shouted to Professor Liang Master, and wanted to kneel down again.

Professor Liang said modestly: Actually, I can't teach you anything, the special case team is a team, and I am just a member of it.

The little detective said anxiously: Master, I brought all the stools, you can't talk and don't talk.

Professor Liang smiled and said, "Are you willing to be a teacher of the special case team?"

The little detective was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: Great.

Drawing Dragon said: This little brother reminds me of the little pudding in the Rose Killer case.

The little detective said: Master Painted Dragon, I want to learn Sanda from you.

Su Mei said: Good boy, are you interested in computer technology? I can train you to be a master hacker.

The little detective said: I, I, I want to solve a big case and catch the murderer with my own hands.

The special case team is famous in the police world, and the little criminal police have four more masters, and they are very happy. Professor Liang looked at the round stool, he didn't just want to test the courage of the little criminal policeman, but felt that this round stool contained some information. This three-legged wooden round stool, which is rare now, is a style that was popular many years ago, and the room is full of old-fashioned furniture. This old house, because of a homicide many years ago, has been unoccupied for a long time, and a lot of old furniture has been left in the house.

Bao Chu suddenly thought of something and asked the little detective: You kicked a pair of shoes at the door?

The little detective said: Yes, Master Bao, there are a pair of shoes at the door.

Professor Liang picked up the photo, and the photos of the crime scene taken by Su Mei were very professional, the images were clear, and the entire scene environment was included in the picture. In the photo, there are no shoes at the door. The shoes were supposed to be placed behind the curtains, but after the task force left, the shoes appeared at the door for some reason.

Obviously, something strange had happened in that old mansion.

The police on duty at the Wuning Road Police Station were all urgently assembled, drew a dragon to lead the team, and set off immediately. The little detective's fear disappeared, and he was excited and felt that he had done a great job. The group went to the Lin family's murder house again, and the police arrested a person on the spot in the Lin family's house, the person was rummaging for something, and the dragon recognized that he was one of the five teenagers who killed Matt: the falling kite.

The old criminal police interrogated the five teenagers who killed Matt, and they just went to the Lin family's murderous mansion to explore, so they let them go.

After the five teenagers who killed Matt left the police station, Luo Kite did not go home, but went to the Lin family's murder house alone.

The special case team, as well as the old and junior detectives, interrogated Luo Kite, and the bright light shone on his face, and he looked panicked.

The old detective said: Why don't you go home, what attracts you in that building?

Falling Kite sat on the interrogation chair, did not dare to look directly at the crowd, lowered his head and did not speak.

The dragon slapped the table and asked, "Bear child, what are you looking for there?"

The kite was startled, sweating profusely, and said: Uncle policeman, I ......

Su Mei said: You are so bold, you dare to go alone.

Bao Chu said: You have lived in the Lin family's house, haven't you?

The kite said, "No, no."

Professor Liang picked up the skull found in the flower pot of the Lin family house and put it on the table, and asked, "Are you looking for this?"

Falling Kite glanced at the skull, and his eyes were very strange, full of apprehension and cringe. He lowered his head and suddenly burst into tears.
