After trying hard to finally appease Li Erya and Zhang Yicheng, Zhang Guozhong got into Liu Dongsheng's car with a hippie smile under the angry eyes of his wife and children. Liu Dongsheng also found that the atmosphere was not quite right, and symbolically smiled at Li Erya and Zhang Yicheng, and slipped away with one foot on the accelerator.

After arriving at the Hongqiao Branch, Zhang Guozhong's identity was introduced as an expert in paleographies, and under the leadership of Liu Dongsheng, he went to the dissection room, at this moment the forensic doctor of the Hexi Branch has gone back with the sample, the forensic doctor in charge of the Hongqiao side is surnamed Wei, according to the Wei forensic doctor, these bones were found in the garbage bin in the residential area of Dahongqiao in the morning, and the police are currently investigating, according to the test, the blood type of the bone is exactly the same as that of the victim of the deboning case, and the height is also consistent, but after bone splicing, It was found that the pelvic width of these bones was somewhat different from that of the boneless remains, so it is not ruled out that there were other victims until the DNA test results are available.

"The knife skills are better than mine..."Looking at the bones on the dissecting table, Forensic Doctor Wei is also a strong tooth flower, "There is no meat left, and I don't know what he is going to do!" ”

Putting on rubber gloves, Zhang Guozhong gently picked up a leg bone, looked carefully at it through the light, and found that there was a string of indentations on the bones, about a millimeter deep, arranged in a spiral around the bones, and the ups and downs were a bit like an electrocardiogram for hospital diagnosis. The edges of the grooves are so neat that they look like they were carved with some kind of power tool, such as a small electric drill used by a dentist to sharpen his teeth.

"Coiled keel?" Zhang Guozhong frowned, in the records of the Pavilion and the Sutu Sect, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, there was such a popular method of town tombs, which was generally a burial ground formation that could not afford to build a "Chisel Dragon Array" and had no way to engage in the "Eighteen Veins" (after the Tang Dynasty, the Eighteen Veins were banned by the Eighteen Pavilions in later generations, although the cost of this formation was relatively low, but if there was no way to find those apostasy who were greedy for money, even if the money was enough, it would be in vain), the name of the formation was "Coiled Dragon Bone", and "Chisel Dragon Array". "Unlike the "eighteen veins", this formation does not need to open the mountain and chisel the stone, let alone kill the innocent, only two bones of the immortal animal carved with the "coiled dragon pattern" inserted in the coffin head and tail, the legend that the effective distance of this method depends on the ability of the immortal beast to be different, if it is the "coiled keel" made of the bones of the animal at stake, the theoretical effective range can also reach a hundred zhang square, the closer the two bones gather, the greater the power. Because most of the comrades who used this method to town the tomb had limited economic ability, and the tomb was not like the tomb of the deceased to accompany the funeral goods, so in later generations, these animal bones were directly distributed in the coffin, which strengthened the protection of the coffin of the tomb owner, and was less likely to be destroyed.

In fact, the history of this kind of formation is much earlier than the "chisel dragon array" and "eighteen veins", the legend of the Han Dynasty has been, at that time, this is a high-level formation dedicated to dignitaries, but in later generations there are more beneficial formations were eliminated to the folk (everything has a germination and heyday, Taoist formations are no exception, not the earlier the more powerful, take Maoshan as an example, the embryonic period in the Han Dynasty, after the painstaking study of the previous dynasties, to the early Ming Dynasty to reach its peak, although there are also many things lost, But there are more new inventions), about the content of the "coiling dragon pattern", there are also many differences between the various sects, some say it is the "soul attraction spell", and some say that it is yang and yin*, but because this formation became extinct after the Song Dynasty (the ruling class of the Yuan Dynasty preferred to use the technique to suppress the tomb), so there is no accurate record in the books of any sect. Therefore, after Zhang Guozhong saw these engraved human bones, his first reaction was "coiled keel".

"That's not right..."Zhang Guozhong held the bone and frowned vigorously, "If it is a coiled keel, it should be carved into the body of the animal, how did you start using human bones...?" Standing in place, Zhang Guozhong opened his eyes once, but he still didn't see anything special about this bone.

"What? Expert Zhang, what do you see? At this moment, Forensic Doctor Wei was also more curious, and said in his heart, what kind of expert is this, holding human bones and closing his eyes?

"Oh... This... I'm afraid it's not words..."Zhang Guozhong didn't dare to tell the truth, so he could only prevaricate first, if he really explained the so-called "coiled keel" with this Wei forensic doctor, I am afraid that he would have to start with the five elements of yin and yang at the entry level, believe it or not, he couldn't afford it with kung fu alone...

"Oh..."After listening to Zhang Guozhong's opinion, Forensic Doctor Wei nodded in sweat, and said in his heart The level of this expert... It looks like it's about the same as myself...

"How? What exactly did you find? Liu Dongsheng is not a fool, after leaving the Hongqiao Branch with Zhang Guozhong, he directly found a small restaurant and asked for two dishes, "Look at what you seem to have discovered?" ”

"It's a discovery... But I'm not sure..."Zhang Guozhong told Liu Dongsheng the details of the "coiled keel", "I can only say that it looks like a coiled keel... Because there are three things that can't be determined..."Zhang Guozhong said, "First, this kind of thing has been lost for nearly a thousand years, if that thing is really a coiled keel, why does it appear today; Second, the real coiled keel should be engraved on animal bones, why does it appear on human bones? Third, the keel is a thing in the town tomb, inserted in the coffin, and now the family funeral, especially in the north, most of them are cremated, just an urn, even if there are burials, most of them are rural, there is no funeral, there is no point in getting that thing! So all I can say is that it looks like a keel, but it's hard to say..."

"You mean... This thing is... Tomb anti-theft? Liu Dongsheng couldn't understand that in his impression, most of the anti-theft measures in the ancient tombs were traps, when would two bones be inserted to prevent theft?

"Brother Liu, to tell you the truth, these anti-theft methods are much more powerful than those secret channels in the short term! The validity period is also much longer, don't underestimate it! I don't know how powerful this keel is, but if it is really like the book recorded, even the royal family of the Han Dynasty has used it, it must not be a good stubble! ”

Hearing Zhang Guozhong say this, Liu Dongsheng was also stunned, although he didn't want to be led into a misunderstanding, but at the moment, this kind of boning behavior is not sure of the motive for the crime! If it is really as Zhang Guozhong said, this thing may be something used in ancient tombs, then what does the criminal want to do? What do you want to hide? "By the way, Lao Zhang, I heard that the ancients used what messy methods to dispose of the corpse, which can make the corpse lifelike, just like just dead, do you say that the bone is not ancient?" At this moment, Liu Dongsheng remembered the situation of Liangzi at that time, he had been dead for seven days, but even the forensic doctor thought that the time of death was less than twelve hours, in case this bone was really an ancient corpse that had been treated with some yin qi, it would also save the missing person from checking the missing person like a needle in a haystack...

"Impossible..."Zhang Guozhong was categorical.

"For... Why? Liu Dongsheng didn't expect Zhang Guozhong to deny it so happily.

"Because there are flies!" Zhang Guozhong smiled slightly, "I found a fly flying in the corridor outside the autopsy room!" If it is really an ancient corpse, if it can be preserved like that, then there must be a large amount of yin qi in its bones, and there can be no mosquitoes within a hundred steps! And if it's really an ancient corpse, there will definitely be a smell (i.e., the smell of yin qi,)..., I don't smell it! ”

"That..."Liu Dongsheng had nothing to say, "Don't say it, don't say it!" Eat first! What do you say about that stuff when you eat? ”

……

A week later.

Zhang Guozhong drove Li Erya and Zhang Yicheng back to Tianjin from Beidaihe, and found a police car parked in front of his house from a long distance. Originally, the family thought that Liu Dongsheng was hot and sticky again, but when they drove closely, the police car didn't seem to be the one Liu Dongsheng usually drove, and the policeman standing under the car smoking didn't seem to be Liu Dongsheng, at least he was much shorter than Liu Dongsheng.

"Uncle Zhu?" Zhang Yicheng frowned, and it was none other than Xiao Zhu standing at the door of the house.

Seeing Zhang Guozhong's car arrive, Xiao Zhu hurriedly threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and trotted up to meet him, "Ouch! Brother Zhang! You're back! Waited for me all night! ”

"Huh? Xiao Zhu, why are you? What about your captain? Zhang Guozhong pulled the handbrake, opened the door and got out of the car.

"Ouch! Brother Zhang..."I saw Xiao Zhu's anxious face, similar to having diarrhea and not being able to find a toilet, "Come, say here..."Looking at Li Erya and Zhang Yicheng in the car, Xiao Zhu simply pulled Zhang Guozhong aside, "Something is wrong!" You're going to have to help anyway this time! Otherwise, Team Liu will really confess! ”

"Don't worry, don't worry! If you have something to say, speak slowly! Zhang Guozhong handed over a cigarette, "What's wrong with Lao Liu?" ”

"What a fucking rush!" Xiao Zhu lit a cigarette and began to speak.

It turned out that two days ago, a thief was caught red-handed by the plainclothes on duty when he was carrying a bag on the bus, but later failed to find the owner. After DNA testing, it was proved that the blood on the clothes belonged to the victim of the deboning case, and in addition to the blood stains, the clothes were also printed with the words "Jinan No. 8 Reducer Factory in Shandong Province", which seemed to be a work clothes. Because it was uncertain whether the owner of the clothes was the victim or the murderer, Liu Dongsheng, as the person in charge of the task force, had to personally take someone to Shandong.

After arriving in Shandong, after verification, the eighth reducer factory did fire a worker named Zhou Wenqiang for theft not long ago, but this person's photo is not at all like the reconstruction of the appearance of the victim of the deboning case, the task force then suspected that this person has a certain suspicion of committing a crime, and after inquiry, it was learned that this person is from the village of Changqing County, and the task force then went to investigate under the leadership of the local public security organ, but it doesn't matter if this is not investigated, an investigation has an accident...
