Lin Ying and Yu Yiqing nodded one after another.

"Found out. Shang Weimin is really an alcoholic. ”

"That wine locker, does it smell old musty when you open it?"

"That's right, it smells earthy."

"Isn't it better to store wine in the cellar?"

"Yes."

"So Shang Weimin used to store that wine in the cellar. Of course, the land cellar in the countryside is not suitable for storing wine, but for Shang Weimin, it can only be hidden in the land cellar. Especially before the demolition, he had been drinking heavily, his family was very poor, he did not have much money, and he did not have the financial resources to renovate the cellar or buy a wine storage cabinet. So, he had to find a way to find a cellar. The smell of mud in the wine cellar is the smell of the cellar.

"Shang Weimin's house in Yuntang Town has been demolished, and I have looked through the information on the demolition of Yuntang before, and the developer has listed the private facilities in the demolished area in great detail, even including things like cellars. In the list, I found two or three words that said 'self-built cellar', but Shang Weimin didn't have a cellar at home.

"If Shang Weimin didn't have a cellar, where did he hide the wine? I then looked at the map before the demolition and found that Shang Weimin's demolished old house was near what is now Yuntang Street, not far from the remaining half of Yuntang Town—did he hide his wine in a neighbor's house?

"But Shang Weimin is a person, and the people in the whole town don't want to see him, and even stay away from him. Judging from the fact that he is very fond of messing around and scheming with others, he is a person who is very careful about his own things, and he is also a person who is not at ease with others. So I initially ruled out the idea that he hid the wine at the neighbor's house, but if he didn't hide it at the neighbor's house, where could he hide it? I decided to find an excuse to go to the remaining half of the original Yuntang Town to find out.

So I pretended to be able to sniff Shang Weimin's whereabouts, and sniffed as I walked. I don't deny my nose, I do remember the smell in the wine cabinet in Shang Weimin's house, and I also try to find some 'inspiration' on Yuntang Street. But until I walked through Yuntang Street, I couldn't find a suitable place.

At this point, I decided not to look down anymore, I looked up and saw that the eaves of a house were covered with weeds. Of course, the family was in a small narrow alley, but it was not far from the demolished house of Shang Weimin, and it had apparently been uninhabited for many years — which was very much in line with Shang Weimin's need to hide wine, neither his own nor his neighbor's house, because the family was no longer occupied.

"That neighbor's house is the old house of the Kui family, so I decided to go and have a look. As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I saw the old locust tree, which seemed to grow a little strangely, and the trunk was slanted towards the north. When you went to the house to look for clues, I climbed up to the old locust tree and wanted to look at the whole yard. ”

"Then I saw two things." Shen Yu continued, "First, this locust tree does grow crookedly, and the reason why the trunk is crooked seems to be because the soil on the north side is a little hollow, and the important thing is that there happens to be a bluestone slab buried in the soil on this side - just ask, would you have nothing to do, put such a large stone slab in the soil of the yard?"

"One of the reasons I immediately thought of was that it was not a stone slab placed randomly on the ground, but a 'ceiling' that was deliberately placed to prevent the space below from collapsing. Therefore, if there is a cellar in the old house of the Kui family, it should be under the stone slab of the locust tree.

"But it was evident that the slate was not the exit from the cellar, and I sat on the branch and looked around the yard, and saw that the place where the woodpile had been turned over—and it would have been reasonable if the exit to the cellar had been under the woodpile. Seeing this, I probably had a number in my heart, and then I looked back at the bluestone slab, and found another situation, that is, on the soil around the bluestone slab, there were many more insects and insects than around.

"We know that many of the sensory functions of animals are many times more magnified than humans. Some insects, in particular, are particularly good at searching for food, and many of the insects that move there are scavenging insects. I suddenly had a hypothesis in my mind - if Shang Weimin's wine cellar was really here, would he be here now?

"And most importantly, he is most likely dead, because then the dirt will reflect the smell of decay. That's why I asked you to come out and dig under the bluestone slab, and sure enough, I found the place where Shang Weimin's body was dismembered......"

Lin Ying didn't know when she had parked the car on the side of the road, and she couldn't stop nodding while listening to Shen Yu's explanation.

"Teacher Shen, as soon as you say that, I understand a lot."

"yes, it's actually quite tiring for me to explain it like this, and it takes a lot of brains."

"But there is one more thing I don't understand, you came up yesterday and said that Shang Weimin's body was dismembered and put into a person's stomach - dare to ask if this is true? How is it deduced? ”

"I speculate, no? Shang Weimin saw the ghost disappear, Luo Laosong also saw the ghost in flowers, and Lu Xianheng may also have something to do with the ghost in flowers, but the bodies of both of them were found, and it was considered an accident. Only Shang Weimin's body could not be found, so I speculated that his body was probably hidden, but in a densely populated place like Yuntang Town, it may not be so easy to hide a corpse, so I thought he might have been dismembered, okay? After all, it's always okay to speculate boldly and verify carefully, so I can find a direction to infer first, right? ”

"It's okay." Lin Ying continued to ask, "There is also the matter of the row of telephone poles on Yuntang Street falling to the ground. ”

"Well, maybe it's a natural phenomenon."

"A natural phenomenon?" Lin Ying got to the bottom of it.

"Yes, ball lightning bolts, for example, they can glide quickly with the wind or air currents near the ground, sometimes along power lines, sometimes silently still. And the damage it causes is also varied and strange. ”

"Doesn't it say that ball lightning only occurs during thunderstorms? But there were no thunderstorms that day......"

"Does a thunderstorm necessarily cause ball lightning? There are thunderstorms every year, how many times have you seen ball lightning? If the appearance of ball lightning is accidental, and it is related to electric current, then what if the power transmission anomaly produces a trace amount of ball lightning, and then it spreads quickly and knocks down a street pole? ”

"It's a possibility — I have one more question......"

"Are you bothered?" Shen Yu interrupted her angrily.

"But ......," Lin Ying said.
