Chapter 010: Evil Charm
Mu Yuan pointed to a place more than ten meters away and said, "Right there, at the edge of that lawn, about a meter underground!" ”
Liu Yihang was the first to walk over, first circled around the position Mu Yuan pointed out, and squatted down to look through it carefully, but found nothing.
"Are you sure it's here?" Liu Yihang asked, it's not that he doesn't believe that this is not the place where the body is buried, but he doesn't understand how Mu Yuan saw it, there is no difference between this place and the surroundings, there is no looseness at all, not to mention the traces of excavation.
"Liu Ke, why don't we dig it up first?" Wei Chongyu asked tentatively, but there was a slight urging in his tone.
"Well, okay, you're the captain, listen to you!" Liu Yihang also heard Wei Chongyu's meaning, so he said, but he didn't understand why Wei Chongyu was so confident in Mu Yuan.
Several police officers walked over with tools, and Liu Yihang hurriedly went up to explain some matters, which are basically matters that should be paid attention to in excavation. After some explanation, several police officers finally started the construction, because the ground is relatively hard, the initial excavation is very laborious, after digging the surface, the internal excavation speed is significantly faster.
"Slow!" Makihara suddenly stopped with a loud voice.
Liu Yihang thought that he had dug up the corpse, but he took a look, and found nothing in the pit except for mud or dirt.
"I feel like I'm getting very close, so I'd better be careful below, lest I destroy the corpse!" Makihara explained.
In fact, he suddenly felt a thin, paper-like mass buried in the dirt, clinging to the corpse below. It was the first time for Muyuan to feel this kind of thing, and it exuded a faint cold air, which made Makihara feel a trace of coercion.
"I'm coming!" Liu Yihang put on his gloves as he spoke, took the tool from a police officer next to him and jumped into the pothole.
Liu Yihang is worthy of being an old criminal policeman, he is also digging, but his technique is extremely skillful, and the force is very ingenious, as if he can detect things under the soil under the induction of tools, and can avoid some obstacles very sophisticatedly. Just when Mu Yuan was reminding Liu Yihang to be careful, Liu Yihang seemed to sense something, he threw away the shovel, replaced it with a small shovel, and slowly cleaned it up. This hand, Mu Yuan, who saw it, couldn't help but admire.
"Hey, it's here!" Liu Yihang suddenly shook his hand, and a corner of a dark yellow paper emerged from the soil. Liu Yihang's subordinates were a little more careful, and slowly cleaned up the yellow paper, which turned out to be a talisman.
This talisman is about two inches wide and five inches long, dark yellow in color, although it is buried in the soil, stained with mud and cement, crumpled and dirty, but it is not damaged, and the cinnabar painting marks are still clear and vivid, as if it has just been painted.
"Charm of Calming?" Liu Yihang took the talisman in his hand and looked at it for a while, and muttered.
"You know?" Makihara asked in surprise.
"Acquaintance, it's not the first time I've met!" Liu Yihang said, "This kind of talisman also appeared in the detection of previous cases, but this time it ......."
Liu Yihang, who has been in the industry for more than 20 years, is indeed not the first time to see talismans, especially in the last century, it is even more common, some of these talismans appeared at the scene of the crime, some appeared in the criminal's house, and even found many times on the criminal's body, and the styles are even more varied: exorcism charms, evil charms, exorcism charms, fortune charms, and even aphrodisiac charms. To this end, Liu Yihang also systematically studied the historical origin and form of the talisman. Fu art originated from witchcraft, began to see in the Eastern Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, mostly from Taoism, the main branches are Shangqing, Lingbao, Shenxiao, Qingwei, etc., roughly compound text, cloud seal, spirit rune and rune four categories. The talisman in Liu Yihang's hand belongs to the last type - floating map, that is, a talisman that is integrated by the image of the god and the rune. This kind of talisman has a variety of patterns and different drawing methods, and it has also been found in the excavation of ancient tombs. This talisman is made very formally, the talisman head, the main god and Buddha, the talisman belly, the talisman foot, the talisman gall are all available, the whole pattern seems to be painted and written extremely casually, but it is integrated, one stroke, quite a bit of calligraphy and painting in the sense of charm.
"Can I take a look?" Makihara asked.
"No way!" Liu Yihang shook his head, "This talisman is currently an extremely important piece of evidence, in order to prevent damage, you can't let non-professionals touch it at will until you see it!" ”
Although Liu Yihang's words are the truth, but there is also a bit of shirk, his heart is already very shocked, as a materialist he naturally never believes in ghosts and gods, but when he touches this talisman, there is still a special feeling in his heart, which has never happened before. Moreover, looking at the appearance of this talisman, it should have been buried in this soil for a long time, so why is it not damaged at all? Can this thin piece of paper be insect and antiseptic? Even if it's an iron sheet, buried in this damp underground, it probably has to be embroidered. Could it be that this was just buried? Judging from the soil in the potholes, it won't be right.
At this moment, Liu Yihang was a little confused, and the faith in his heart was almost loosened.
"Lao Liu, let's go on and see what else we find!" Wei Chongyu saw Liu Yihang's thoughts on the side, and hurriedly reminded him.
"Good!" Liu Yihang glanced at the talisman in his hand again, took out a plastic bag from his pocket, carefully packed it, and handed it to the assistant on the side for numbering and archiving, and did not forget to instruct: "Be sure to keep it, this is very important!" ”
Mu Yuan's eyes were always on that talisman, but he was secretly planning in his heart, this talisman was very important to him, and he vaguely felt that he could trace something from this talisman, maybe he could solve his own problems in this way, but how could he keep it for himself? Is it impossible to go through normal means.
Liu Yihang put his mind away and continued the work at hand, as if he was worried that a similar talisman would appear again, and his movements became more cautious, but this time there was no talisman appearing, but a white bone appeared.
"There's a discovery!" Liu Yihang said.
Liu Yihang's shouts woke Mu Yuan from his thoughts, and he turned his head to look at the pit, only to find that Wei Chongyu and Liu Yihang were not paying attention to the bones, but were staring at him. Makihara knew why, they were all stunned by their affirmation of this place, but he couldn't explain it, he just scratched his nose and pretended not to see the eyes of the two, but looked at the skeleton.
As the clean-up began, the bones became clearer.
"The pelvis is wide, fully developed, and the pubic symphysis is high, presumed to be an adult female!" Liu Yihang analyzed, "From the perspective of tooth development, the age of the deceased should be about 20 years old; Whole body skeletal ...... Complete, not missing, no punctures or fragments of the skeleton in the abdominal cavity; Skull...... There were no external injuries, the cause of death is unclear, and further research is needed, so it can only be simply speculated that death is caused by natural death, death by asphyxiation, or disease. ”
"Get evidence as soon as possible, and then transfer the victim's remains!" After obtaining these basic information, Wei Chongyu gave instructions, "This place will remain closed for the time being, leave personnel to maintain, and do not destroy the scene, so as to further collect evidence in the future!" ”
After arranging the next work, Wei Chongyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, from the preliminary point of view of the nameless corpse, it is basically consistent with the missing scene ten years ago, this time Mu Yuan is right again, so next, what surprises will he bring to himself?
