◎Chapter 48 Raising Little Ghosts

In addition to poverty, ignorance and ignorance are also the root causes of superstition.

Southern Sichuan lottery player Zhou Yuande was superstitious about "killing people to win the lottery" and hacked his mother, brother and sister-in-law to death.

Song Ling, a woman from Northeast China, listened to the belief in "drinking blood to cure diseases", brutally killed a nine-year-old child to drink blood, and was arrested after absconding for 14 years.

The lame Taoist priest had an ancient Maoshan book in thread, which he said was given to him by a strange man with a bag and a hat. It records evil techniques such as raising ghosts, lowering heads, and lowering Gu. This hand-copied thread-bound book with a brush says that raising little ghosts is a kind of spiritual control technique, and because it is too yin and damaged, it hurts merit, so few people practice. Raising a little ghost must be driven by a child soul who died unjustly, and once the child soul is detained, it cannot be reincarnated. There are two sources of imps, one is a young child who died young, and the other is a child who was murdered. Among them, the strongest ability is the boy who wore red clothes at the time of murder, and can be refined into a powerful ghost. Each faction has its own ghost refining spells, some go to the scene of murder or disaster, dip the blood of children with dark paper, and then practice the method to gather souls, and become fierce in 7749 days; Some open the coffin to take the corpse of a child from the belly of a pregnant woman who died in childbirth to practice, or rob the tomb to dig up the corpse of a child who died of murder, carve a small coffin out of wood, use a candle to grill the chin of the child corpse, and the small coffin receives the corpse oil, and then refines the ghost.

Su Mei searched for "raising ghosts" on the Internet, and you can see many rumors of celebrities raising ghosts, which are ridiculous and difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

The lame Taoist priest confessed to stealing the corpse of a child and refining ghosts, but refused to admit to the murder.

He said that the child's father invited him to do practical things, and after learning about the child's birthday, he felt that this boy who was hanged in red was very suitable for refining ghosts, so he drew a soul charm and pasted it on the wall, dug up the grave at night, and raised the little ghost according to the method on the line-bound book. It's strange to say, since he raised a little ghost and devoured it, the lame Taoist priest will win every time he gambles, and he simply doesn't go to the temple fair to set up a stall to tell the hexagram, and makes a living from gambling. Many gamblers suspect that he is out of the thousands, but they cannot find evidence.

The police used some special methods, including polygraphs, but there were no contradictions or loopholes in the lame Taoist's confession, and he successfully passed the polygraph. He claimed to have no knowledge of Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi's deaths, and that the disappearance of the bodies of the two children had nothing to do with him. Because they could not find a third party to testify and could not find any other sufficient evidence, the police had no choice but to detain him and take him to prison.

The case reached a dead end, and Bao Chu privately went to consult the barefoot Taoist priest, hoping that he could give directions, but was refused.

The barefoot Taoist priest said: In this world, no one actually dies, because everyone will die.

Bao Shu said: What about you?

The barefoot Taoist priest said, "Cultivators like us are no longer in this world, in other words, I am already dead."

All the investigative clues were interrupted, and the case reached a dead end. The bodies of Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi are missing, and the police can only file a case for investigation by stealing the corpses. Although each member of the special case team believes that the two children died in homicide, there are no bodies, and neither the police nor the judge can do anything about it.

For red

The death of the boy, a medical examiner who insisted on the view of suicide, said at the case analysis conference:

It's a simple suicide case, similar to some of the sexual asphyxiation deaths I've encountered with transvestite sexual perverts. Some people also feel pleasure when they are suspended in the air or suffocated. The red dress is supposed to be collected by the child himself, and most transvestite patients have a few pieces of clothing of the opposite sex in their collection. In addition, how many children in the countryside can't tie the cow knot? The knots are professionally tied and the number of laps tied doesn't necessarily mean a deep meaning. Wooden beams are also common in farmhouses, and the weighing stones may be used to enhance pleasure. I think children have been masturbating like this for at least a while, but their parents are busy with part-time jobs and don't know about it.

It is impossible for the special case team to always spend time on this case, because some cases cannot be solved after several years or even more than ten years, and every public security bureau has a large backlog of cases. The four members of the special case team deliberated and decided to leave the mountain city three days later and withdraw from the case.

This means that for the first time since its establishment, the special case group has failed.

However, Professor Liang announced a fake news: the special case team will be stationed in the mountain city for a long time, and if the case is not solved, he will not give up!

Su Mei was puzzled, and she asked: Uncle Liang, why are we lying?

Professor Liang said: Xiaomei, this is not a lie, this is my last strategy.

Hualong said: If the case is not solved, we really have to stay here for a few months, or even years?

Professor Liang said: "In three days, we will leave.

Su Mei said: I still don't understand, what's the use of lying like this.

Bao said: It may be possible to force the murderer to take further action.

Drawing the dragon said: What if it is useless?

Professor Liang asked rhetorically: Even if it is useless, is there anything to lose for us?

Su Mei said: The reputation of the special case team.

Professor Leung said: Is our reputation more important or the lives of our two children? This is the last ray of hope.

The next day, Professor Liang announced in a high-profile manner that the special case team would be stationed in Shancheng for a long time. That night, a fire broke out in the staff dormitory of Dongyang Primary School, and the teacher Mao, who was also the head teacher of Cai Mingliang and Cai Xiaoxi, was burned to death.

After the investigation of the fire scene and related technical identification, the police obtained clues such as the presence of accelerants in the combustion residue, and also found other clues of intentional arson. Although there was some camouflage at the scene of the fire, it was determined that this was a criminal case of intentional arson by another person.

The police found the corpse of a Fǔ Bài child sealed in a plastic bag in the closet of Teacher Mao's house, which was none other than the deceased Cai Mingming. Because the fire was extinguished in time, the child's corpse was not burned. The police opened the plastic bag and found that the child's body was missing a hand.

After Professor Liang heard the news, his eyes lit up, and he said: It seems that this Teacher Mao is the breakthrough in this case.

Hualong said: We had contact with this teacher Mao during the investigation, but we didn't find anything suspicious.

Su Mei said: The murderer really couldn't hold his breath.

Package chopping

said: Teacher Mao is either an insider or an accomplice, and he will definitely not be the real murderer.

Professor Liang said: Obviously, someone framed him!

Bao Shu said: I was a little suspicious of that Assistant Tang, but now I can rule out his suspicion.

Professor Liang said: Yes, if the police were the murderers, they would not have resorted to such a clumsy framing method.

On the night when the special case team was stationed at the forest police station, a mysterious person used his carrion hand to leave a palm print on the door to intimidate them, which showed that this person knew the whereabouts of the special case team. The leaders of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, the local government, and the Education Commission all called Assistant Tang to inquire about the case, and they knew the whereabouts of the special case team. The special case team has always suspected that the murderer is hiding inside, but these people are in high positions of power, and they cannot open an investigation without evidence, so they can only let the case run aground.

Professor Leung bluffed, turned the passive into the active, and forced the murderer to jump over the wall to take further action.

Bao Chop conducted a live simulation, and the arsonist should be two or more people, and he should know Mr. Mao.

Bao Chop's analysis believes that Mr. Mao has just graduated from Normal University, is not married, and lives alone, and the murderer knocked on the door with a cardboard box and entered his residence, falsely claiming to give him a TV set, or found other excuses, and Mr. Mao did not know that the cardboard box contained a dead child. The murderer used some way to subdue Mr. Mao, took out the corpse of the child in the cardboard box, placed it in the closet, and then poured gasoline on Mr. Mao and burned it, the carton was also burned, and the police found some fragments at the scene.

The terrifying story that a teacher killed two elementary school students began to circulate in the society, and for a while, the city was full of wind and rain.

The special case team strictly adhered to the facts of the case, remained quiet, and carried out a detailed investigation into Mr. Mao's social background and interpersonal relationships. Ms. Mao is a local and her parents are both retired teachers. His interpersonal relationship is very simple, his daily life is the dormitory and school, two points and one line, and he likes to play basketball in his spare time.

Bao Chu and Su Mei went to Dongyang Primary School where Teacher Mao was located to investigate, and there was a locked drawer on his desk, and when he opened it, he found that there was a passbook in it, and there was a full 100,000 yuan in the account. Underneath the passbook was a blank piece of paper with a line of strange handwritten numbers.

100,000 yuan is also a lot of money for a young teacher who has just graduated from a normal school for a few years.

Mao's parents don't know where the money came from and can't explain where it came from.

According to the analysis of the special case team, Mr. Mao is an accomplice, the money is a gratuity, and the strange number on the paper should be a string of passwords, which must contain deep meaning. Mr. Mao realized that he might be killed, but he was not sure, but he had a faint worry, so he left a line of digital prompts for the police in case of accidents. If he dies, he can hint to the police in this way who is his killer.

This strange line of numbers written by Mr. Mao is:

[23/1/14/7] [10/21] [26/8/1/14/7] [19/8/1] [23/15]
