Chapter 29: Carbon Fire
Barking......
The puppy stuck out his tongue and rubbed Mr. Jin's ankle, Mr. Jin grabbed the lower part of the puppy's neck with both hands and lifted it up, and after a closer look, this puppy looked very much like a not-so-pure Bichon Frise.
"Is this the Chen family's puppy? I don't think I've seen it. Teacher Jin said.
"It's a bit like a puppy in Lijia Village, and Lijia Village is full of this kind of miscellaneous dogs." Dongzi said.
At this time, the temperature in the room was a little cold, and Dongzi realized that it was time to go to the boiler room to add coal.
It was still Xu Tian who followed Dongzi to fill the coal blocks, and when he entered the boiler room, the flames were about to be extinguished.
"It shouldn't have been extinguished so quickly! It's been less than an hour. Toko complained.
Xu Tian always felt that there was a strange smell in the boiler room, a kind of barbecue smell? It's not quite like that, the moment Dongzi opened the boiler, a black pitch human head that had been loose rolled out of the boiler and smashed between Dongzi's feet.
Dongzi's whole body was stunned, Xu Tianyi pushed Dongzi away, and quickly picked up the hook in the corner to hook out the corpse in the boiler.
The corpse was completely scorched, but Xu Tian could still distinguish the gender of the corpse, and it could be judged from the hip bone that the corpse was female, and the height was between 1.68 and 1.7 meters, which was exactly the height ratio of Siyan.
Xu Tian couldn't believe all this in front of him, especially the neck that was blackened by the charcoal fire, like a sparrow that had been burned, and the neck had been baked.
"This is not Siyan! This is not Siyan! Xu Tian muttered in his heart.
"How...... What to do? Dongzi stammered in fright.
Xu Tian took out his mobile phone to take photos of the scene, and then returned to the study with Dongzi.
After everyone learned all this, their faces changed, and the murders happened one after another, and at this time everyone had realized the fear, and even the calm Chen Po began to pace around in the study.
"The corpse looks undressed, which clearly conceals the identity of the corpse, so you don't have to worry too much." Teacher Jin comforted Xu Tiandao.
"Yes! I don't believe that this is Siyan's corpse either, but judging from the current signs, this should be Siyan's corpse Undoubtedly, the only clue that can judge the truth of this corpse now is at the severed head. You see, there are some tear marks on the neck of this corpse, which looks like the whole corpse was scorched and the head fell to break it, but I think we can also think of the body part of this corpse as Li Nana's body. Xu Tian said.
"It's a possibility, but it's clear from the photos you took that the head of the body almost matched the fracture, and you should know where the body was in the boiler at the time." Teacher Jin said.
"The corpse was on top of a pile of coal ash, and the head should be close to the lid of the boiler, so when Dongzi opened the lid of the boiler, the head fell outward, which was the head fracture at that time, but because the speed of the fracture was too fast, I didn't see clearly whether the head was broken from the corpse at that time, or the head was not connected to the corpse in the first place." Xu Tian said.
"The body is indeed a woman, but we don't have a doctor here, we can't tell the age of the body, and I have a question, why was this body stuffed into the boiler? There is also the decapitation, Li Nana's body that disappeared before, these can only show one problem, the murderer is hiding Siyan's identity. Teacher Jin said.
"We can only hope that this corpse is not Siyan's, but no matter what, there is a charred corpse in front of us now, even if this corpse is not Siyan's, it is a dead person, who is this person? If it's not Siyan, then this victim is someone other than the Chen family, which is a bit unreasonable! Why are outsiders involved? Xu Tian said suspiciously.
"You didn't fill the boiler with coal, did you?" Xiao Ai asked.
"How can you do it in this case, if Xiao Ai feels very cold, we can change places, anyway, this study is also very unsafe, if the murderer is an outsider, we are equivalent to being trapped in the study." Xu Tian said.
"Where is the Chen family warmer? It's only 6:20 p.m., and we're still 12 hours before dawn! If we stay in this cold study all the time, we will definitely not be able to bear it. Xiao Ai complained.
"Come with me!" Chen Po opened the door and said.
Under the leadership of Chen Po, the rest of the people came to the guest room, where every room is an ancient building, and there is a fire kang in the guest room, only if the fire kang is burned, it will be very warm.
But Xu Tian felt that there were not too many people in the guest room, and when it was late at night, someone would definitely be sleepy, and everyone would definitely go to rest in separate rooms at that time, and then the murderer would have another chance.
"If everyone has no opinion, it is better for us to squeeze into the same room all night today, and if someone raises an objection, it means that that person has a ghost in his heart." Xu Tian said.
"You're right, but what if you want to go to the bathroom? Isn't it a little too inhumane? Xiao Ai complained.
"Very treated in extraordinary times, isn't there a trash can in the room! Go to the toilet and solve it in the room, just endure it for twelve hours, this is also for everyone's safety, after all, the case that happened in the Chen family has not been solved yet. Xu Tian said.
"Whatever you want! I'm going to take a nap anyway, and if you're going to stay in your room, I won't have to worry about being attacked by the killer. Xiao Ai said, and got into the bed.
It sounds simple to have enough firewood to burn for twelve hours in the guest room, but this cold snowstorm night has just begun, and now it's dinner time, and all everyone can do is huddle into a cramped room and watch each other.
Who has the possibility of killing? Xu Tian has always been unable to figure out how the murderer managed to kill people, originally Xu Tian only suspected that Mr. Fang had killed Danxin, but the cases that happened later made Xu Tian retract his initial judgment.
What was the motive for the killing? Especially when Li Nana was killed, Xu Tian knew very well in his heart that except for himself and Dongzi, everyone else seemed to be likely to commit the crime, but Xu Tian believed in Teacher Jin very much, if Teacher Jin was removed, then there would be only a handful of remaining suspects.
Xiao Ai, who was sleeping in the warm bed, Chen Fan, who said very little, Yang Qi, who had just woken up, and Chen Po, who was calm, now only these four people are suspected, but Xu Tian judged by his own feelings that Xiao Ai should not be the murderer.
