Chapter 247: A Strange Case Encountered by Chance
Mu Keer retreated the car to a place dozens of meters away from the congested section, and Shu Lei and Ghost Foot Qi got out of the car and squeezed into the crowd. One by one, they appeared invisible, trying to find out the cause of the congestion there. Because it is close to the farmers' market and it is noon, the flow of people is relatively dense. Many people stopped to watch, wondering why a cordon was set up in this small street? That street is an urban village, which is said to have been a prosperous place in the past, and those two-story small western-style buildings and red brick and blue tile courtyard houses used to be very enviable.
Later, with the development of the city, most of the old residents here bought new houses and moved away, and these old houses have not been demolished. Many people will renovate their houses and rent them out. Over time, almost all of them have been renters, and there are very few original owners, and if they do, most of them are old and sick.
Within that cordon, there were five police cars and three ambulances, and a few police officers seemed to be surveying something outside a broken yard. A little later, a few more people came out of the courtyard.
In the front are two policewomen with police dogs, and in the back are in pairs, each carrying a long black plastic bag, which looks very heavy. The crowd watching from the periphery of the cordon was in an uproar.
Next, two people took out the seals they had prepared in advance from the police car and pasted them on the door of the house.
Two other policemen walked to the side of the cordon, presumably preparing to dismantle the cordon. The crowd of onlookers suddenly became more intense, and several lively aunts actually asked the police directly.
"What happened, young man?"
One of the aunts looked at the young policeman who came over and asked curiously.
"Oh, I said Auntie! Once you've bought your groceries, go home and cook. ”
The young policeman looked very tired, and changed the subject, avoiding answering the grocery aunt's question head-on. This made the onlookers a little unhappy, and one next to her squeezed forward and said, "Young man, we are just curious to inquire, otherwise, it won't be delicious to go back and cook!" ”
The young policeman shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Three southerners died, aged between twenty-five and thirty-five. The police will announce the details in the media. If you know the relevant clues, you can take the initiative to cooperate with us. ”
The police told what happened there, and now it is estimated that those aunts will not be able to eat when they go back, and they will not stop talking! The police began to dismantle the cordon, and orderly alienated the crowd of onlookers, Devil's Foot Seven and Shu Lei, who were mixed in the crowd, but they had no intention of leaving. Ghost Foot Seven took advantage of the chaos and shook his body a few times, and quickly disappeared from his figure.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Ghost Foot Seven proposed, Shu Lei nodded immediately.
The two ghosts crept over to the courtyard, how could a paper seal be difficult to defeat them? The two ghosts easily stepped through the door. That yard is not very big, only two houses. There are about three or four rooms in the north room, and the east room is even smaller, judging from the oil stains and dirt on the doors and windows, it should be the kitchen. Judging by the broken bricks on the roof and the broken glass and window frames on the windows, the house must have been some years old.
In the corner of the yard there are two electric cars, not very new, and there is some white ash on them. In the corridor in front of the north house, a clothesline hangs horizontally, and each end is tied to the wall at each end of the corridor. Three pieces of clothing were drying on the rope, two of which were supposed to be matching, and the other was just a pair of pants. The three clothes are all blue and green camouflage, and the material is also very average. There were ice beads on the hem of the clothes, which looked like they were washed by hand, so they were not dehydrated and dried.
Ghost Foot Seven, who was born in the countryside, is more familiar with such clothes, which are generally worn by migrant workers when they are children, one of the reasons: they are cheap, and they are available on the stalls in the morning and night markets. Reason 2: Dirt-resistant, stained with a little dust or something, generally not visible.
"That's right! Dust! There was dust on the electric car, and the two brothers were probably doing heavy work on the construction site. ”
Ghost Foot Seven analyzed.
"Well, that makes sense. So why did they die? Tired of being alive? ”
The little ghost head Shu Lei nodded first, and then shook his head to express doubt.
"Go! How do you know they're committing suicide? ”
Ghost Foot Seven said with some doubts.
"Intuition! Because I just looked through the plastic bag carried by the police, and the bodies of several people in it were intact and there were no injuries at all. ”
The little ghost head Shu Lei said with certainty.
Indeed, he took advantage of the fact that Ghost Feet Seven was not paying attention before, and used the perspective ability to spy on the basic situation of those corpses alone.
"You clever little devil! Let's go, go in and see if there's any other evidence? ”
Devilfoot Seven said, leading the way into the north house.
The house was very simple from decoration to furnishings, the walls were only painted with a layer of white, and when you looked up, you could still see old-fashioned wooden beams and purlins, and an incandescent light bulb hanging down from the beams. The house was partitioned and a small door was left. Outside, the room seemed to be larger, with an old table and a dilapidated wooden bed. The bed was messy with futons and some clothes. On the floor next to the head of the bed is an electric fan, more than a meter high.
In the corner of the wall near the back of the door, there is a water pipe and a simple washbasin, and the faucet is not closed and leaking "tick-tock". The furnishings of the outer room are like this, and it is even easier to see the furnishings of the inner room through the door. There was a narrow single bed, which was similarly messy.
"TMD, what kind of place is this? Broken yards, broken houses. It's gloomy at first glance, that is, two big men, and those who drag their families won't rent here. ”
After scanning the situation in the room, the little ghost head Shu Lei sighed like an adult. Devilfoot Seven couldn't help but laugh as he looked at his pretended mature expression. In an instant, though, he smiled back.
"What did you just say? There are two big men living here? But...... Obviously carried out three corpses? ”
Ghost Foot Seven suddenly thought of this strangeness, so he asked Shu Lei for advice.
"If you think about it, there are only two beds in the house and only two electric cars in the yard, what does that mean? A fool can guess that there are two people living here. ”
Shu Lei turned out to be reasonable, and after thinking about it, Ghost Foot Seven felt very reasonable. It's just three corpses, and it's really a little inexplicable, I'm afraid the police will have such doubts. In order to figure out why, Devilfoot Seven decides to take a closer look at the house and yard.
"Seventh brother, seventh brother, come here!"
The little ghost head Shu Lei suddenly called out loudly to the ghost foot seven.
"You little devil! In terms of age and ghost age, you should call me uncle. ”
Ghost Foot Seven complained while looking in the direction of Shu Lei's finger.
The little ghost head Shu Lei pointed to the single bed, and there was actually a flower in the middle of the messy clothes and bedding, with pure white stamens and pale yellow. Shu Lei picked up the flower curiously, and the moment he looked at it directly, a strong fragrance came to his nose.
"The flower on the other side of the Lechuan River!"
The two ghosts said in surprise.
"How did this flower end up here?"
The little ghost head Shu Lei asked suspiciously.
"I don't know! Let's go back and report to Lin Yulan and them, they must have a way to find out the truth. ”
Ghost Foot Seven turned around and was about to leave, and the little ghost head Shu Lei followed closely with the other side flower.
