The man was a man in his thirties. Wearing a blue overalls, which is the only one's work clothes for a weaving mill in town, and a pair of black pants underneath, it is immediately obvious that they were bought at the market.

He stumbled into the house and shouted, "Dead, dead." "I was very nervous and couldn't answer my questions.

I calmed him down as much as I could, and called the director again, saying that there was a murder and that he should send two people to assist me.

For the police station in the small town, a murder case is enough to make the nerves of every police officer in the station tense. Director Zhang Yi also knew the stakes, and after asking about the situation, except for the three female comrades who did not inform them, the other six people in the institute were all taken out by him in the bed.

Soon, Lu Tao in the station rushed to the police station on a bicycle and asked me what was going on.

I called the director and said that Lu Tao had arrived, and the two of us would go to the scene first.

Director Zhao simply agreed. And let's not act rashly, just go and protect the scene. He's already on his way.

Lu Tao is a local, thirty-two years old, flat-headed, and very capable. When they saw me, they asked, "What about the informant?" ”。

I said, "In the house, Uncle Wang is watching." The shock was too much, and I can't ask anything yet. I only know that the deceased was a woman, and it was found in the graveyard of the Li family's tuozi. The rest is nothing to say. Zhao asked you and me to go to the scene first, and he was rushing here."

Lu Tao nodded and said, "Then without further ado, let's hurry over." There are wild dogs, foxes and so on in the night, don't give the dead .....," he said, and did not continue.

I didn't say much, "You go get the flashlight, I'll drive".

With that, he ran to the only jeep in the house. Although this car is shabby, it is very passable, and it is definitely better than many BMW Mercedes-Benz sedans.

On fire, Lu Tao also rushed out of the house with a flashlight. As soon as I got into the car, I kicked the accelerator and rushed out.

To be honest, this is the first time I have seen such a big case since I graduated, and I don't know whether I am excited or scared. But it's definitely not calm.

The road leading to Lijiatuozi is a dirt road in the mountains, and the road is full of potholes and difficult to walk. It's also a jeep, and if you change to a Santana, you will definitely lie on this dirt road.

Just now, Wang Dehai, the old guy, told me that this road is evil, but I didn't expect to see this road tonight. Somehow, my heart started to get nervous.

Fortunately, Lu Tao is here. I turned my head and saw Lu Tao smoking a cigarette, looking at the potholed mountain road in front of me with his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

I muttered, "Why is this road so hard?" ”。

Lu Tao said: "Who knows. You click on it carefully. ”。

I clenched my left hand again, and the brief but piercing pain in my little finger calmed me down.

Night.

Late at night.

The north wind howls in the middle of the night in the cold winter, and the sound of "wooing" can still be heard through the car window.

When the headlights shine on the road, you can see the dust blown up by the wind and the artemisia that sweeps the road. The headlights shine like a small figure hiding in the fog and passing quickly in front of the car, which is very weird.

The sound of tires running over the dirt, the roar of the engine, and the strange "creaking" sound of the chassis of the car can be clearly heard.

Fortunately, although the car is worn, it can be well insulated from the biting cold outside.

Even so, we could still see the white breath exhaled by the two of us in the car. This is enough to show that the temperature in the car has also reached below zero. After a while, a layer of frost slowly formed on the windshield. I pulled out that old-fashioned tape and scratched it.

After scraping the front windshield, I scraped the window glass on my side, although it is impossible to say that there is no overtaking behind on such a mountain road, but the rearview mirror should still be clear. It's a habit as a driver.

"Scrape the windows over there." I handed the tape to Lu Tao and said.

Lu Tao stretched out his hand to take the tape, and after finishing the glass, the cigarette in his mouth had burned out, so he naturally rolled down the window and wanted to throw the cigarette butt out of the car.

At this moment there was a mound of dirt in front of me, almost in the middle of the road, and I had to slow down and carefully walk around the mound.

Suddenly, a biting chill swept through my body, as if I had fallen directly into an ice cellar in the past three or nine days, and I shivered. I don't know if it's a delusion, but I also heard a floating laughter coming from outside. It's small, but it's almost impossible for you to have that kind of 'Did you hear it wrong?' 'Doubts.

"What's that?" I shouted, a little loud.

Lu Tao was also taken aback, and quickly rolled up the window again. He looked back at me with a pale face and said, "It's really windy outside."

Wind? The feeling just now is not something that the cold wind can bring. I was suspicious in my heart, and I saw that Lu Tao's face was no longer that pale.

However, I am also a police officer after all, and I still have the ability to observe. I noticed that Lu Tao was constantly looking at the road ahead, his eyes like electricity.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Lu Tao shook his head, did not speak, and motioned for me to continue driving.

The car continued to drive. In this boundless darkness, it is like a flat boat in a black ocean.

"It's also strange why the mound of dirt didn't shovel it, and it was in the way on the road." My voice like a muttering voice sounded in the car.

Lu Tao smiled and said, "That's not a mound."

"Huh? What is that? "I questioned.

Lu Tao lit another cigarette, took a deep breath and said, "That's a grave."

My heart trembled for no apparent reason. Oh, yes! It was a grave, a grave overgrown with withered grass. A grave in the middle of the road.

I forced a smile, not knowing what to say. Here and now, it's really not appropriate to continue on that topic.

Time passed minute by minute, very slowly. I took out my phone and looked at it, and found that we had been walking for almost an hour since we set off.

Is it that far?

I don't quite remember how long it took me to go to Lijiatuozi for the first time, but I'm sure it wasn't short.

I don't know if I feel like I've increased my speed.

"How far is it?" I asked Lu Tao.

He said, "Don't you think it's strange? ”。

I shook my head, puzzled.

Lu Tao said: "You have gone back." ”。

I grass! What does that mean? Is the ghost hitting the wall?

I slammed the brakes and the car froze.

"Brother Lu. No kidding. "I'm a police officer, so I'm still able to stay calm.

Lu Tao saw me stop the car and said anxiously, "Turn around and drive quickly." Keep going, don't stop. ”。

He spoke again and again, his voice full of eagerness. I had no choice but to move forward again.

He regained that ability and said, "Xiao Yang." Don't stop when this happens. Something bad will happen when you stop. ”

"What's the matter?" I forced my composure and turned on the alarm lights. Damn, I knew I was here with a talisman.

"Duh... Beep". Police lights flashed, and horns mounted on the car honked a shrill siren.

"I don't know. I've heard from others, too, that this might be a ghost hitting a wall. What do you do with your police lights? ”。 Lu Tao asked.

"Be courageous," I replied.

He smiled and didn't say anything.

Although I was a little scared in my heart, I was still able to calm down with such a big living person as Lu Tao by my side. Perhaps this is the nature of social animals.

I clenched my left hand and gave me two extra feet under my foot to throttle. The jeep whistled and shot out.

After a while, dozens of mounds of dirt appeared on the side of the road ahead. Somehow, I had a sense of intimacy.

It's finally here. I sighed in my heart.

"Brother Lu. What do you think? ”。

Lu Tao's eyes were shining at this time, as if he had seen a leopard with sheep. said: "The place where the informant said is here?" ”。

I nodded and said, "That's it."

Lu Tao said: "Take a look around there." ”。

It's a mountainous area, but the fields are fairly flat, and it's not a problem for jeeps to pass through.

I drove around the dozens of graves and finally pulled over to the side of the road and found no dead at all.

"Let's go, go down and have a look," Lu Tao said, handing me a flashlight.

I got out of the car with him. The biting cold wind blew mercilessly, and my face hurt. I tightened my coat and followed Lu Tao towards the cemetery.

According to the informant, the deceased was found on the edge of the grave near the road. We first searched for the body on the outer grave.

If I were writing a novel, I would be focusing on the horror here, but I'm not. In my eyes, the weedy graves were just mounds of dirt. That's not the point, the point is the body we're looking for here.

For a case officer, the corpse can speak. The sooner it is found, the more the body can 'say'.

"Here," Lu Tao called out to me as he stood next to a grave.

Somehow, I had an inexplicable excitement. It's the kind of excitement that the investigators have found clues.

I ran over with my flashlight and wondered what the dead would look like, horror or serenity. Is it suicide, or is it homicide? Was it an accident, or was it a murder? My mind is full of questions.

But when I went over, I didn't find anything, only a trail of footprints on the ground.

At this time, Lu Tao also frowned at the traces of the footprints, and I didn't feel good in my heart.

What about corpses? Can't you run away?

Lu Tao turned around, held a red comb in his hand, and handed me a small mirror, and said, "Only these two things."

I took it and saw that it wasn't wooden, but a red plastic comb. The mirror is very small, and it is the kind of small makeup mirror that girls in the city like to carry in their bags the most. My appearance is printed in the mirror, and my usual handsomeness looks a little terrifying in this dark night graveyard.

"The footprints were towards the center of the cemetery. It should be the one who reported the crime. Lu Tao said.

I stopped looking at the mirror and crouched down to take a closer look at the only clue so far.

"It's not!" I say for sure.

Looking at the footprints, I always felt that something was wrong, the footprints were only the size of my palm, and they should not be male, but they were by no means what made me feel wrong.

Where?

I looked closely, and suddenly my heart exploded, and my scalp also cooled. I found something that seemed strange to me.

These footprints are pure footprints at all, and there are no footprints like shoes.

And, what scared me even more was that there was an even smaller footprint in the middle of the footprint. This footprint is definitely not an adult's, it is the size of a newborn baby.

I didn't look back and told Lu Tao what I found, but to my surprise, this kid didn't answer.

Strange, what's going on with this kid? I looked back and looked, oh my God! Where is Lu Tao's figure.
