Chapter 332: Lighting the Sky Lantern
Zhang Jinming rushed to the front of Zhang Zhang in a few arrow steps and intercepted Zhang Li.
"I won't stop you when you go, but you remember it for me, you don't have anything to do without you, you don't have to talk more, this is not Qingzhou, you don't need to be able to do it here, don't embarrass me!"
"Dad, what are you doing here? Brother is a policeman, and there is a reason not to investigate the case when encountered, do you know that you are obstructing law enforcement? Zhang Dan was a little unhappy.
Usually other things can be left to her father, and she will never be ambiguous in the face of right and wrong.
Zhang Jinming said with a dark face: "You only know, what if this matter has something to do with the people in our village?" If your brother finds out something, he will definitely offend people, so for a while, you talk less, don't meddle, and if you see something, you don't know how many capable people there are in our community now, and some of them are backers, take the children of the old Zhou family at the head of the village, a few days ago, someone saw him eating with the big leaders in the city, if you offend you, you don't want to live, right? Your brother is just a little policeman, and people will rip off your brother's clothes with a word, and you, the reporter doesn't want to do it? ”
"Have you said enough?" Zhang Zhang couldn't help it, he has listened to this set of rhetoric for decades, Zhang Jinming likes to brag and talk big in his life, and he is more cowardly than anyone else when he encounters things, and he always likes to instill his so-called life philosophy into Zhang Zhang and Zhang Dan.
In his words, it's called the golden mean.
If you don't be a person first, you don't see it when you encounter something, and if you don't do anything, you say it's for self-preservation, but in fact, it's just mixing and cowardice.
"I didn't say enough, you all have to listen to me today, either don't go, let's just don't see it, or don't do anything when you go, just be a spectator."
Zhang Zhang didn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Jinming, put aside Zhang Jinming and strode away, and Zhang Dan also followed quickly.
This Zhang Jin jumped to his feet angrily, and while cursing these two people for being ignorant, something would happen sooner or later if they went on like this, and at the same time, he couldn't rest assured that he would follow.
The cold wind swept across his cheeks like a knife, and he walked faster and faster.
Zhang Dan hesitated for a moment and said, "Brother, if this time it is someone you know again, will you kill your relatives in righteousness?" ”
"Yes!"
Zhang Li did not hesitate.
Zhang Dan smiled with satisfaction, "That's right, you are a policeman, you have to stick to your principles, you can't let feelings influence your judgment, our editor-in-chief said, no matter who your target is, it's just your news material, and it has nothing to do with its quality or badness, as a media person, you only need to explain objective facts, don't talk about right or wrong, let alone express any opinions." ”
"Yes, I'm really happy that you have such an awareness, let's go."
The scene of the crime was on the river beach a few hundred meters away from Zhang's house.
At this moment, there were many people on the river beach, and several excavators had stopped working, and one of the excavators had half a bucket of dirt in its bucket, and in the dirt lay a somewhat gray primate skull.
The hollow eye sockets were facing everyone, and the driver was a rough man, smoking a cigarette, leaning on the edge of the excavator and chatting and laughing.
People who work on construction sites see this kind of thing a lot, and it's not uncommon to dig up bones or something.
"Look, the boss of the old Zhang family is back."
Someone spotted the tension, and a screeching sound immediately came from the scene.
"It's really Boss Zhang, who doesn't recognize his six relatives, police, it's really amazing."
Ignoring everyone's criticism, Zhang Li walked quickly to the front of the excavator, and he recognized it as an adult's skull at a glance.
"Here you go."
Zhang Dan handed over a pair of gloves, and Zhang Zhang put on the gloves and squatted down to carefully observe the skull.
At this time, he found a small circular hole in the upper left side of the skull, the size of the head of chopsticks, and his heart couldn't help but be shocked.
Bullet holes!
If it was a bullet hole, then the person was shot, and he was either lying down or kneeling when he was shot. No such hole is left by any surgery, and even a wound that is not a bullet hole can cause serious head damage or even death.
There is an obvious crack on the right side of the skull, about five centimeters long, inclined, from the face to the jaw, and there is one less tooth in the lower jaw.
The murderer slashed the deceased in the face with such force that the blade was embedded in the cheek bone and even knocked his teeth off.
Suspected gunshot wound, obvious knife wound, this is not natural death, this is murder!
Moreover, there was only one skull at the scene, and it is possible that the deceased was dismembered.
"Sky lantern, he has a hole in his head, he has been lit by someone to light the sky lantern!"
Granny Ye suddenly pointed at her skull and shouted, and the frightened people retreated one after another.
Lighting a sky lantern, as the name suggests, is to open a hole in the top of a person's head, and then pour vegetable oil into it, and the tortured person is often alive when he is cranioped, and after lighting it, he will scream and run around, like a walking sky lantern.
The scene is extremely tragic and terrifying, and it is a kind of lynching that is widely popular among the people, in ancient times, men and women committed adultery, women were immersed in pig cages, and men were either beaten to death with sticks, or they lit sky lanterns.
"He must be an adulterer, only an adulterer will light a sky lantern, after being caught, he opened a hole in his head, poured kerosene and burned him alive, this kind of person has three souls and will never be reborn, his ghost will not be dispersed for hundreds of years, whoever disturbs him will find whom, Amitabha, immeasurable Tianzun, no wonder." Saying that, Granny Ye also folded her hands and kept praying.
The others were scared enough to hear Granny Ye say this.
In the community, Granny Ye is a well-known goddess, she chatters all day long, she was a living fairy when she was young, and she was dealt with by the public security a few years ago.
Seeing this, Zhang Dan hurriedly stood up to refute the rumors.
"Don't panic, everyone, what ghosts are not going away is fake, there are no gods and ghosts in this world now, the police will give you an answer, everyone retreat, don't destroy the scene."
Granny Ye glared at Zhang Dan viciously, and said in a weird manner: "What I said is all false, is what the murderer's daughter said true?" ”
"How?" Zhang Jinming immediately retorted, "Do you have any evidence to say that our Dandan's father is a murderer?" If not, it's defamation, and I'm going to sue you! ”
Granny Ye muttered a few words and stopped talking.
In the hearts of these people, Zhang Dan is the daughter of a murderer, and any explanation is superfluous, and it is also for this reason that Zhang Dan has always been excluded and ridiculed, and it is difficult for her to support herself until now without strong beliefs.
It didn't take long for Wen Zhengming and several community cadres to arrive at the scene, and after just a brief glance, he immediately organized people to isolate the masses, protected the scene, and arranged for his subordinates to go to another section of the river to continue their work.
"What's the situation?" Wen Zhengming stepped forward to greet Zhang Dan.
"I don't know, a skull was found, don't worry."
"That's good, I'll take my parents back first."
Wen Zhengming walked to the side to further drive the crowd away, and then sent Zhang Jinming and his wife home, and then he returned to the office, he closed the curtains of the office, locked the door, opened the drawer and took out an old mobile phone.
Trembling, he dialed a number and put his phone to his ear.
The phone rang like an alarm bell in Wen Zhengming's mind.
The phone went through.
"Hey."
There was a strange voice on the other side of the phone, very sharp, obviously using a voice changer.
Wen Zhengming didn't respond immediately, he kept holding his mobile phone, and the other party was not in a hurry, both sides were waiting for the other party to speak.
After a long time, Wen Zhengming spoke first.
"See you at the old place in the evening, twelve o'clock."
Wen Zhengming hung up the phone, quickly deleted the call record, put the phone off the drawer, and he collapsed on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
The smoke flashed in Chinese Zhengming's mind again the scene he had just seen, the skull, the huge scar.
It's been eight years, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it to be over, he still couldn't escape, he came back again.
Looking at the room full of golden trophies and awards, Wen Zhengming's eyes slowly revealed a fierce look, all of this was his hard work, these honors were earned by his sweat, he would never allow anyone to touch them, no one can!
