I hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's okay, don't ask Officer Lu. I don't know, I don't know anything. ”

I also didn't like the difficulty of being strong, so I didn't ask any more.

When I left, Xiaokang couldn't help but complain to me: "Isn't it just a gust of wind? Look at the way he was scared just now, just like that. ”

After they got together with Zheng Li, she told me what she had heard: "According to the people in the village, the people who died were not any good people in the village, they were all full of evil, and they did all kinds of evil in the village on weekdays. ”

Xiao Liu hurriedly corrected: "No, one of them is not like that, and he does not do all evil. I just like to speak ill of people behind my back, and then I die. That's the woman. ”

After hearing this, I immediately felt that it was really because of the curse that they had died.

But I quickly dismissed the idea.

The murderer kills people, and he must want us to think in this direction.

And since the girl's body was not found back then, she shouldn't have disappeared from the world like that! So I think it's still very possible for a middle-aged woman to kill her!

Out of curiosity, I sent a message back and asked Ni Jiaxin to help me investigate the woman back then.

Meanwhile, we're continuing to investigate the puppets. And I saw for myself the puppet coffin used to hold the corpse.

It was a large puppet, and unlike many puppets, it was hollowed out.

Functionally, I feel like he really is like a coffin, somewhat similar to the coffin of an Egyptian pharaoh.

"Whose hand is this one?" I asked the village chief.

I only heard the village chief say: "I don't know, this is when I came to bring the corpse, I didn't bring it." Because the forensic doctor has examined this thing, it turns out that there are no fingerprints on this thing. This thing was too heavy, so this one was left behind. But it must have come from the hands of a murderer, right? ”

When listening to him, I subconsciously looked at Xiao Liu, who was looking at him on the other side.

At this time, Xiao Liu was holding ultraviolet rays on it, as if he wanted to irradiate it to see if there were any fingerprints. He also raised his eyes and asked, "No one should have touched the coffin with their hands before, right?" ”

"No, no." The village chief denied it, "Only you dare to get so close." The people here all felt that this was a bad thing, so they didn't come to touch it. ”

I looked at the relief patterns and the cloth on it, then I turned my head to the village chief and asked, "What do you think of the workmanship of this large puppet?" ”

I only heard the village chief say ashamedly: "Actually, I have always been a scholar, and I have had relatively little contact with this ancestral craft. So I'm really not an expert at that. Well, I don't know anything! So Officer Lu, you asked me to watch all aspects of the puppet's workmanship, and I really can't see it. ”

"So who in the village can tell the difference?"

"It's Master Zhao! That's what their family ancestral tradition does, so let him take a look at this, and he should be able to see this puppet level. ”

So we went and invited Master Zhao and asked him to see the level of this puppet.

At first, he was quite reluctant, but the village chief called him over.

After coming over, he took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, really very carefully. The eyes are almost attached.

The village chief secretly said to me: "There are signs, it seems that this thing is not a defective product." If it's that kind of thing, Master Zhao has seen it at a glance and doesn't want to look at it. ”

After Master Zhao looked at it carefully, he turned his head and said affirmatively: "This is from the hands of a master!" ”

"How tall?" I asked.

Master Zhao turned his head to look at the puppet again and said, "Aside from this bold design and appearance, the craftsmanship of this craftsman is simply original." This craftsmanship, I can assure, is not even comparable to me. In terms of craftsmanship alone, my grandfather is still alive, and I am afraid that he can still fight with him. So if this person hadn't studied for twenty or thirty years, he wouldn't have been able to make such a treasure. And you have to be very talented. ”

Hearing this, I felt that the range suddenly narrowed by a large circle.

After thinking about it for a while, I directly took Master Zhao's hand and took a look. I found that there were a lot of calluses on Master Zhao's palms.

In other words, that person's hands must also be rough.

So I started looking for these craftsmen in the nearby villages and towns, and asked Master Zhao to help me see their "works". However, there are many of their works that Master Zhao is unwilling to read.

Except for the work of an old grandmother.

A small doll made by the old grandmother attracted the attention of Master Zhao.

"It's him, it must be him." Master Zhao said to me firmly, "That puppet must have been made by him." ”

It was also after we came here that we learned that the person was an old woman.

The old grandmother denied it at first, saying that she didn't do it, until Master Zhao said jargon such as closing the edge, and she couldn't deny it anymore.

But she still didn't admit it. So the case was at an impasse for a while.

After I came back, I re-discussed it with Zheng Li and the three of them: "Do you think that old woman is almost eighty years old and may commit a crime?" ”

Xiaokang said: "Looking at her like that, it seems that she is more than eighty." ”

"That's not the point, the point is that she has the ability to commit crimes? She didn't, did she? "Or Zheng Li seems more reasonable," she didn't even admit that she did it at first. And she has no children under her knees. ”

After Xiao Liu pondered for a while, he said, "Could it be that she wants to cover up her buyer?" ”

"It's a possibility!" I say.

The next day, I took Zheng Li and Xiao Liu to my grandmother's place, wanting to investigate who the murderer was through methods such as visiting the thatched house three times, grinding soft and hard bubbles, etc.

Unexpectedly, before we even went in, we smelled a foul smell.

This smell, which I am all too familiar with, is the smell of corpses.

Xiao Liu smelled it as soon as he heard it, so he and I both entered the door.

When we came in, we saw the corpse of the old grandmother, which was erected under the measurement!

Yes, she hanged herself!

Through her cloudy pupils, etc., it can be seen that her death time will not exceed six hours. So she hanged herself in the middle of the night last night!

She has no children and no daughters, so we can only have the relevant authorities dispose of her body and cremation her body and dispose of her inheritance.
