When we were about to burn the corpse, suddenly there was a loud noise from the top of the big banyan tree, and all four of us were frightened, and then we looked up at the source of the sound, and it turned out that a tree had smashed into the banyan tree, and through the light from the dark clouds, we could see that there were pulleys and chains on this tree, which had fallen from the cave on the cliff wall. At first, we all thought it was struck by lightning, but the sharp-eyed ghost noticed that the fracture of the tree had obvious marks of being cut by an axe, which indicated that it was man-made, and it seemed that someone wanted to warn us not to pursue it further......

After returning to Dachang Town, we went straight to the police station, but we didn't see the officer guard in the office, and through the comrades in the bureau, we learned that the officer guard had gone out to do errands, and after coming to the address, we immediately rushed to the office.

According to the address given by the comrades in the bureau, we inquired all the way, and finally came to an old house, the house is in the style of ethnic minorities, but it is very old, it has been simple and unbearable, after pushing the door in, I saw Officer Wei Zheng talking with a gray-haired old man.

The four of us stepped into the bluestone bricks, and their conversation was alarmed, and the officer Wei was surprised to see us, "You...... How did you find this? ”

"It's a long story, the Health Bureau, we have a new clue but we need your help, let's go!" With that, I pulled the officer and prepared to leave.

The officer guard stopped me, "Wu Nian, you wait!" I also have new clues on my side, so I'll finish it first. After finishing speaking, I continued to sit back across from the old man, and then I further observed the old man in front of me, the old man was already in his last years, and his wrinkles and pursed mouth had revealed that he was no less than sixty years old, but the old man's eyes were obviously dull and slightly dull.

"Old comrade! Think about what else you've revealed? The officer asked the old man anxiously.

The old man looked at the officer guard blankly, slurred his speech, and said, "Guo Feng is an accomplice of the hydropower station, and I am responsible for investigating him." ”

This sentence immediately surprised me, the fat man, Lan Xin and the ghost, and at the same time understood that the old man in front of him should be a retired old policeman.

In the face of the old man's words, Officer Wei Budan did not show surprise, but said a little anxiously, "Old comrade, you have already said this a few times just now, think about it again, is there anything else?" ”

The old man suddenly waved his hand a little excitedly, "Don't say it, don't say it!" The water is deep, the water is deep! You go and read my report yourself, I tell you, the report I put in the bureau's archives, read it yourself, read it yourself......" The old man muttered sluggishly and repeated the latter words.

"Old comrade! You've said this three times, think again! "The officer was in a hurry.

And the old man just didn't have anything to do, and continued to murmur unhurriedly, "I am the old policeman in charge of the hydropower station, you see that I have a certificate, I am a real old policeman......" Before the old man finished speaking, he was stopped by the officer to get the certificate, and said, "Old comrade, I have read your certificate three times." ”

The old man squinted his neck, "Huh!?" He pouted, then pursed his lips and said, "You don't believe it?" Wait! I'll show you. ”

A discerning person can see that the old man has a slight Alzheimer's disease, so the officer has no choice but to give up the inquiry.

On the way back to the bureau, all of us probably knew that the old man just now should have something to do with the incident of the hydropower station back then, or I couldn't help it first, and opened my mouth, "Health Bureau, the old man just now was the ...... back then"

"That's right! The police officer in charge of the hydropower station. The officer said to make amends, "Get in the car and talk about it." ”

The officer in the car told him the ins and outs, only to hear him say, "I know from the old comrade that the original investment in the hydropower station was to make a laboratory, and Guo Feng was among the partners!" Officer Wei said this, his eyes narrowed, gritted his teeth, patted his thigh, expressed anger, and then said, "I said how can a Franken like Guo Feng be willing, Qu Cai came to Dachang Town to be a town mayor, it turned out to be just a shield, his actual identity is an underground scientific researcher, he produced technology and Deng Gang contributed money, and developed something together, as for what they are developing, I don't know where the laboratory is." ”

"Why don't you know?" The fat man asked

"Didn't you see it just now, the old comrade is already delirious," the officer said with a sigh of regret.

The ghost reminded: "Didn't that old comrade just say that the report he wrote back then is in the bureau? If you look through it, you'll find out. ”

Officer Wei waved his hand: "It's useless!" I flipped through it, and the bureau's archives were in the basement, just next to the river, and the archives were flooded by a flood two years ago, and most of the archives were handwritten, including the old comrade's report. ”

Lan Xin, who had been listening quietly and not saying a word, glanced at each other unintentionally, it seemed that Lan Xin also thought of something, and Lan Xin also saw that I had made a discovery, so he asked, "Wu Nian, did you think of something?" ”

"What about you?" I asked rhetorically

"You speak first." Lan Xin back.

"I'm guessing they're doing experiments that bring people back to life or immortality, and it's clear from the manuscripts in the cave and the corpses we found, including the lab coats and the special hoops." After I finished speaking, looking at Lan Xin's reaction, Lan Xin frowned and nodded, "I think the same as you." And I also concluded that Guo Feng should be a member of the Ke organization. ”

"Hmm!" Officer Wei nodded thoughtfully after hearing this, "I think it is very likely, Deng Gang is the president of the Yunchuan Guimin Business Association on the surface, but in fact, his real identity is the leader of the Asian region of the Ke organization, and Guo Feng is with him, as the so-called Tao is different, it is very likely that Guo Feng is the Ke organization." ”

After the officer finished speaking, he asked me as if he had suddenly remembered something, "That's right!" What is the matter with you coming to me in a hurry? ”

"Him!" The ghost pointed at me and said, "Wang! It seems that the murderer is already known. ”

I hurriedly said, "When will I say that I know who the murderer is!" I'm just saying that Hal is suspicious. ”

Officer Wei couldn't help but say, "It's not important, you quickly tell me what Ha'er's identity is." ”

"I guess he should be Mayor Guo's identity." As soon as I finished speaking, the officer was taken aback, "How is it possible, didn't he die two years ago?" ”

"Guard! Don't get excited, listen to Wu Nian. Lan Xin said a little impatiently, and then said to me, "Tell me what you think." ”

"Actually, the ghost also said this unintentionally before, and I thought it was unlikely at the time, but after a few days of investigation, I found that there are indeed a few points that can be explained.

"First of all, if you think about it, the time of Ha'er's appearance coincides with the time of Mayor Guo's death, and the reason why Ha'er was disfigured was also because of the fire, which shows that he may be Mayor Guo."

"Second, the last time I went to collect medicine for you, I found that someone lived in the cave where the hanging coffin was put in the bandit ditch, and I checked, the furniture in that place was only slightly covered with a thin layer of dust, it was obvious that someone had used it not long ago, far more than that, the fat man and I also found that someone in the cave had some hyenas, didn't the Guard Bureau say that Mayor Guo's biology department was particularly good, and he also had the habit of raising animals to study, and there were those manuscripts, although some of them were old, it can be seen that there are certain years, but there are also some new, recent works, with esoteric mathematical formulas on them, and it is precisely that Mayor Guo is a mathematical genius. ”

"The most important point is that after we opened the coffin just now, we found that the hanging coffin was not the body of Mayor Guo and his family of three." When I said this, the officer was surprised and asked, "Whose is that?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the two corpses should be the relatives of the Guo family back then, and it just so happened that I also found a small incense tripod in the middle of the two hanging coffins, I checked it, the incense ash inside is new, and there are traces of black mud on the cliff wall" Speaking of this, I couldn't help but glance at the ghost, and then continued, "The black mud Lao Wang knows very well, it is on the edge of the ice lake of the hydropower station, and in those days, I and Dachangtong and Ha'er's shoes were stained with black mud, does that mean that someone went back to worship the corpses in the hanging coffin?" From the above points, I judged that Ha'er might be Mayor Guo. ”

Officer Wei pushed his eyes thoughtfully, and said, "If that's the case, then Aren't Ha'er pretending to be crazy and stupid, just arrest him back and torture him." ”

"No, no, no!" I hurriedly repudiated Officer Wei's method, "It's just my speculation now, there is no conclusive evidence, and there are still many doubts that have not been solved, so I can't be arbitrary, otherwise it will only startle the snake." ”

The fat man was in a hurry, clapped his hands with his backhand and said, "Wang, what are you hesitating about, is this already obvious, and the motive for killing is also sufficient." Then the fat man described it to us vividly, "Think about it, Mayor Guo's family was poisoned by investors, and the fire only burned Ha'er, that is, Mayor Guo's face, after Mayor Guo survived, he planned a seamless revenge plan, he first disposed of the burned corpse at that time, so that everyone thought he was really dead, and then incognito, pretending to be a low-IQ Har, and then planned to assassinate those investors one by one, so that he could hide from the world." ”

After the fat man finished speaking, I shook my head and continued, "On the surface, what you said is reasonable, but there are also many doubts in it, everyone think about it, if Mayor Guo really wants to take revenge, why wait two years, and more!" That's why did he kill the assassins? He is not an investor, not to mention that after he killed the assassin, why did he soak the corpse in the ice lake and then hang it again, he could directly destroy the corpse and destroy the traces. ”

"Anyway, it's up to you to say everything, it's you who says that Ha'er is Mayor Guo, and it's you who says that there are many contradictions, aren't you uncomfortable with yourself." The fat man shook his head as he spoke, then lit a cigarette and said, "What else do you want?" ”

I said, "It's better to wait until all the suspicions are sorted out and the evidence is conclusive, and it is not too late for us to bring Ha'er to justice." ”

Lan Xin agreed with my idea, and she said calmly, "I think it is also, when the doubts are not fully solved, all speculations are just speculations and cannot be used as evidence." ”

After everyone agreed, I took out the specimens I had collected from the female and male corpses from my backpack and gave them to the officer, saying, "Health Bureau, I have to ask you to help take this for DNA identification to see who these two corpses are?" ”

The officer looked at the specimens I had collected, then accepted them and said, "This may not be the day after tomorrow to get the results, we don't have these devices in the town, and when we go back to the bureau, we will have someone take them to the city tomorrow for identification." When the results come out, I'll WeChat you. ”

Out of politeness, I politely said, "Everything is in trouble for you." ”

"Look at what you said, this should be my business, it should be my thank you to be true, like you just said about these coffin opening things, our police are not as good as you Captain of the Underworld, fortunately with your help, otherwise I am afraid that there will be a few more police orders." Officer Wei said, pushing his eyes, and then said, "And!" I've already asked the bureau to investigate your friend's disappearance, and we should know the outcome soon, so you may have to wait. ”

After we finished talking, Lan Xin, who had already wanted to speak, spoke, "Old Guard! Is it possible to use the camera at the ferry? ”

"Absolutely! What's wrong? Officer Wei asked.

Lan Xin said, "I have seen the time when we were attacked in the rattan net, it was around 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and we set off to open the coffin at about 7 o'clock in the morning, and we had to go to the hydropower station first, and there was only one ferry to the hydropower station, so I wanted to go to your place to monitor and see who had been to the hydropower station during this time." ”

Then our group went straight to the bureau, and the results were seen from the monitoring on the ferry that there were a lot of boats out of that period, including Ha'er and Dachangtong, Dachang Town is surrounded by rivers on all sides, and the location of the hydropower station has a direction to go out of the town, but unfortunately the location of the camera shooting is just in the bifurcation of the river, so there is no way to determine which of these boats are out of town, and those are going to the hydropower station, but when Lanxin insisted on going back and forth, a suspicious place was found, and it can be seen from the monitoring that Dachangtong and Ha'er are successively out of the boat, The two of them seemed to have taken something when they got on the boat, and it can be clearly seen from the enlarged photo of the screenshot that it was an axe.

When the officer saw it, he muttered to himself, "The fox's tail is finally out," and then said to the officer*," "What are you waiting for?" Why don't you go and catch someone back? "But I stopped the police officers who were about to leave in time, on the grounds that if I went to arrest them and interrogate them now, I would definitely not be able to ask anything, but would only startle them, and it would be even more difficult to find some clues at that time.

The officer frowned, and said with a sense of disagreement with me: "That's how we handle the case!" Could it be that you have a better way? ”

I said, "Guard! If it's a small case in the usual way, I also think it's okay, but this time the murderer you can also feel that he is not an ordinary person, then his psychological quality, including thinking, must be beyond ordinary people, then we will definitely not be able to catch his tail according to common sense, so in my opinion, we might as well pretend to be stupid and investigate secretly, such a grasp may be a little bigger. As he spoke, I glanced at everyone, "What do you think?" ”

"I think it's okay, special means are used in special circumstances." Lanxin agreed with me.

The officer was silent for a moment and asked, "Then is there a detailed battle plan now?" ”

Lan Xin said, "Everyone has their weakest shortcomings, some people are for money and some are for profit, I think this person called Dachangtong is usually a good person, but he is polite to Wu Nian, I think I can start from him and see what weaknesses he has." ”

Lan Xin's words made Officer Wei seem to remember something, only to hear him say, "He really has a weakness, last time Lan Police * asked me to check the information of Dachangtong, I found that this kid had worked in Wushan County for a few years before, because he was good at drinking and gambling, his family was defeated, and he owed some loan sharks, so he ran back to this Dachang Town." This kid is a drunken gambler, especially if he drinks this wine, he can't control his mouth. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but say excitedly, "That's easy, it's about to be dinner time, I, the fat man and the ghost come forward to set up a Hongmen banquet, and see if I can get some clues out of his mouth." ”
