Chapter Ninety-Two: The Tunnel
Yu Yiqing and Shi Chong were both stunned by Hua Yan's assertion.
Fortunately, Lin Ying seems to be able to adapt, probably Shen Yu often played cards out of common sense before, she is used to it.
Lin Ying walked to the bluestone slab, she tentatively stepped on the slate with her foot, and looked at the ground around her.
I understood what she meant, because the ground around the bluestone slab had a layer of smooth moss, which was integrated with the surroundings, and the slate was hard and would not shake when stepped on, so it didn't look like it had been pried open at all.
"Dig it, it's down there." Hua Fei swung her legs on the branches, her hands on the pergola and looked down, and she still carried the bottle in her other hand, and kept raising it to drink.
"What are you drinking?" I walked under the tree and asked, a little worriedly. After all, she has just come to the world, and she thinks that everything in the world is delicious, and I am afraid that she will spoil her stomach by eating and drinking.
"It's nothing, it's just that I took out the bottle of cooking wine from our kitchen in the morning, and now I can satisfy my cravings."
"I've bought twenty bottles of cooking wine in the past two days - is it okay for you to leave a bottle for cooking, didn't you buy you beer and two pots?"
"But I still think it's delicious." Hua Hu said to me with the cooking wine.
The three policemen below were already dumbfounded, Lin Ying looked back at me and said, "I remember that Mr. Shen doesn't drink." β
"Alasβshe said she was hit by a car, and she was afraid of injuring her internal organs, and that drinking and drinking alcohol could disinfect it...... "I didn't even know what I was talking about."
"Teacher Shen is really too zombie...... Shi Chong also ran over and said, "Won't drinking cooking wine poison?" β
"It's not like being poisoned, I'm afraid of drinking too much and talking nonsense." Xiao Yu also began to help.
"So, are you sure the place she's pointing to is real? In the case of her drinking? Lin Ying turned to me and asked again.
"It should ...... OK. I said with some hesitation.
"Shi Chong, see if there are any tools like shovels, dig them."
"Okay!" Shi Chong said yes and ran out, and after a while he ran back with a few shovels and pickaxes.
"I borrowed it from the folks." He said.
Lin Ying took a shovel, and a few of us also took a handful.
"Don't be stunned, dig it." She said.
So Hua Jian sat on the branch of the tree and swayed his legs leisurely, watching the drama and drinking a little wine, and the four of us sweated like rain under the tree and dug the bluestone slab.
Half an hour later, the bluestone slab was pried up, and a few of us lifted it up and turned it over, but there was still hard dirt underneath.
"There's nothing down there." Shi Chong said breathlessly.
"That's not right." Lin Ying also squatted down, she picked at the soil underneath, and then spread it in her palm and watched. I saw patches of white stuff in the dirt, mixed with fine grains of sand.
"It's Sanhetu." "It's not natural soil," she said. β
"Yes, buddy has changed his career to be a civil dog." Shi Chong said with a wave of his pickaxe.
A few of us dug down about two feet deeper, only to hear the sound of "dang", and it was obvious that Shi Chong's pickaxe had chiseled something. He squatted down and pulled the floating soil with his hands, only to see another stone slab underneath.
"Boss, I can't dig anymore, let's call more people."
Lin Ying hurriedly dialed the phone, and after a while, the people from the Yuntang Police Station also rushed over, and the police also organized a few strong men from the surrounding streets to help. Everyone pried open the stone slab below with all their might, and suddenly a choking smell of blood came to their faces.
There was obviously a space under the slate, which looked like a cellar, into which we descended by a rope.
The cellar was cold and gloomy, and there was a hidden passage that led faintly into the distance, and in the open part of the cellar, we found a few pieces of clothing soaked in blood, as well as a large patch of blood that had not dried, and a large and small knife and saw stained with blood.
I almost vomited again. Lin Ying wore white gloves, squatted down and pulled her clothes to take a look, and then stood up.
"Luo Dagang described Shang Weimin's clothes when he reported the crime, and the clothes found here are very similar. At first glance, it is likely that this is the scene of his dismemberment. β
Lin Ying was right.
The clothes found in the cellar of the Kui family's old house were indeed Shang Weimin's, and the blood type of the blood stains at the scene was also the same as Shang Weimin's. Thrown in the cellar were knives large and small, as well as a carpenter's saw, all stained with blood and scraps of flesh, apparently the tools used by the killer to dissect Shang Weimin's body.
And this cellar is not simple, no, it is not accurate to say that it is a cellar, it should be an underground passage. One end connected to the easternmost room of the Kui family, which had been sealed off at some point, and the other end stretched from the ground to the gate of the abandoned ditch on the outskirts of the town.
In addition, there is a branch line in the tunnel that leads to the bottom of the woodpile in the yard, and from the traces in the tunnel, the murderer entered and exited from the woodpile.
What's even more weird is that the people in the entire Yuntang Town don't know that there is such a tunnel in the Kui family's house. They only knew that the stone gate on the other side of the ditch was built in the Ming Dynasty, and then the canal dried up, and everyone went to the gate to dump domestic garbage, and buried the stone gate back and forth, and the passage exit in the Kui family's house was also sealed by the stone bricks in the house, so everyone didn't realize that there would be a secret passage from outside the village to the village.
That afternoon, Hua and I stood in the courtyard of Kui's house, watching the men and forensic doctors of the criminal investigation team go in and out, collecting clues from the excavated cellar. She seemed tired of watching and yawned one after the other.
"I found a place to chop up the corpse, so loudly tossing around, as for it." She said lazily.
"What is a toss, this is a necessary step to solve the case, to collect evidence."
"What kind of evidence are you collecting," Hua Hu stared at the empty cooking wine bottle, and said wistfully, "In the Shura Realm, as long as I say who is the murderer, everyone will rush up and arrest him, simple, efficient, refreshing, how good." β
"And what if you're wrong?" I asked.
"How could I be wrong?" She asked me rhetorically.
"Won't you make mistakes? For example, in addition to solving the case, have you not done anything wrong in other aspects? I asked.
"Nope."
"Who says no, you smashed someone's hospital's monitor to slag with one punch last time, I swiped my credit card to buy one for someone, and now I pay in installments - it's not wrong?"
"It seems that you are wrong in the world, and on our side, it is not wrong for me to collapse the main hall." She said a little resentfully.
"Okay, you're a princess, you have a point." I shook my head and said with a wry smile.
Lin Ying squeezed out of a group of policemen, and she saw the two of us sitting far away in the shade, and walked quickly towards this side.
"Teacher Shen, although you are a person who doesn't like to explain too much, but in the matter of the Kui family's old house, you have to explain to me clearly how you reasoned and how you found it here."
