Chapter 208: Fallen Leaves Return to Their Roots
The tree is 1,000 feet high, and the fallen leaves return to the roots.
Qi Zihuan still remembers that there was a book that said before that people in this world are roughly divided into two categories.
Nomads are horses, and they have always longed for the sky and the earth to gallop freely.
As long as there is even a trace of water in the land, they would rather have yellow branches and leaves and work hard to support them, rather than pull out the roots and leave their hometowns.
This concept is rooted in the blood, even if you explain what happened after you die before you are in danger, you must not forget to say the last sentence "Take me home and bury me somewhere".
Just like Qi Zihuan's hometown in the western part of Hunan Province, there is an extremely famous folklore.
Chase out the corpses.
The corpse is also known as the transfer of spirits, belongs to the Miao Gu art, is a part of the Chu Wu culture, and is also said to be related to the Maoshan Shu Zhu Youke, originated in the four counties of Yuanling, Luxi, Chenxi and Lipu in Guchen Prefecture. When it was still in the Qing Dynasty, the local rumor of "corpse chasers" in Xiangxi was widely spread, that is, corpse chasers used "secret techniques" to bring the corpses of people who died in foreign lands back to their hometowns and let them be buried in peace.
Qi Zihuan has actually never seen such things with his own eyes, but no matter how evil and mysterious the legend is, in the final analysis, it is still two words - homecoming.
Where home is, where I am, even in death.
Qi Zihuan was thinking about it right now.
Two days have passed since the discovery of the hidden corpse, and the time for the DNA identification results to come out is getting closer and closer, Qi Zihuan inevitably felt some nervousness.
He remembered the previous grave digging, if it was really his father buried inside, should he move the bones back to his hometown in Hunan Province?
If he is allowed to be buried in this unfamiliar place, there will not even be a person who burns paper during the New Year's holidays.
Not to mention it, he became a lonely ghost, but it was too bleak.
But the problem is that my father did not leave his will, and he had just dug a grave in order to verify his identity, so if he moved the grave with great fanfare, would it affect the peace of the ancestors too much, but it would backfire?
There is another very important problem, when the grandfather died, he was only buried under the old locust tree in the backyard of the old house according to the wishes of the old man, and there was not even a serious cemetery. If the father's bones are brought back, where is it appropriate to bury them?
I was struggling when I heard the sound of the door opening in the living room outside the suite.
He shook his head, put his father's grave behind him for the time being, and went out to the living room to meet Han-tae, who had just returned from the police station.
It turned out that he had nothing to do in the past two days, so Han Tae-kook went to his police friend to have tea and hang out for some news by the way.
"Mr. Qi, this hotel is a bit evil." After Han Taok entered the door, he changed his slippers and said a little mysteriously, "To be honest, if you weren't here, I guess I would have moved out immediately." ”
Looking at him like that, he should have set up some dry goods in the bureau today.
"Don't sell it, just say it." Qi Ziheng's curiosity was also aroused, and he asked with a smile.
"The identity of the female corpse in the wall has not yet been determined, and the point is that she has been dead for nearly three years, just as we suspected, just as we suspected."
Qi Zihuan asked suspiciously: "It's been three years?" This doesn't match the level of decay you inquired about before. ”
"The murderer put a lot of special antiseptic drugs and desiccants in the plastic film that wrapped the corpse and the sandwich space, which caused the corpse to decompose much faster. In order to find out the time of death, the medical examiner took a lot of effort. And the specific composition of that antiseptic drug has not been thoroughly analyzed until now. Hankook sighed a little.
"Then it wasn't improvised, it seems to have been premeditated."
"Not only premeditated, but the hatred between the murderer and the woman is estimated to be quite deep, because the female corpse should have been alive when it was sealed in the wall, and she was trapped in that narrow and dark mezzanine by life, and finally died in despair."
"Still alive at the time? How did you find out about this? Qi Ziheng was a little surprised.
"The forensic report only said that it was suspicious, but since it was written like this, it is basically the truth." Han Tae has been a private detective for so many years, and he has heard of many murder cases, but the death method in this case still makes him a little embarrassed, "First of all, the victim was suffocated, but there were no corresponding injuries on the neck, mouth and nose, and it can be ruled out that it was suffocated by external forces." Secondly, some masonry dust was found in her remaining respiratory tract and lung tissues, as well as the embalming drug just mentioned, presumably inhaled during her lifetime. So the only explanation is that the female corpse was still alive when she entered the wall. ”
Qi Zihuan was silent, he remembered the female ghost he met in the last Yin Marriage incident, who was also enclosed alive in such a small space as the coffin, and the instinct to survive made her nails fall off when she buckled the coffin wall.
This female corpse was even worse, according to the details that Han Taok heard yesterday, her whole body was tightly wrapped in plastic film, and only her nostrils were exposed to breathe.
It was dark, suffocating, and I couldn't move my whole body at all, and I couldn't even struggle and scream.
What kind of fear is this?
"can do things to such a point, the murderer and this woman don't know what kind of deep enmity they have." Hankook lit a cigarette and sighed in a low voice as he looked at the drifting smoke.
"Since the police have preliminarily determined that it is at this point in time during the construction of the hotel, there should be a suspect, right?"
Han Tai slowly shook his head and said, "It's being investigated, and the person in charge of the construction company that won the bid at that time, the relevant personnel of the hotel and the decoration company have been called to cooperate with the investigation." However, the construction company has a deep background and often wins bids, and then breaks down the project and subcontracts it. It is said that the work of this hotel has been subcontracted to nearly 10 companies or construction teams, and some have been subcontracted again, and the renovation work is similar. Therefore, there are so many people involved, and some workers have long since left the local area, so it will be difficult to make a breakthrough on this line for a while. ”
In the past few years, this kind of illegal subcontracting and subcontracting in bidding and bidding was quite common, and many greedy mouths were fattened from top to bottom. This was the social atmosphere at the beginning, and it was also the national situation, and there was no solution.
"In this way, the boyfriend of the woman with the dog has nothing to do with it, it seems that he really thinks that the feng shui of that room is good, but he didn't expect to spend a good night with the female corpse in the wall every time."
Qi Zihuan had been speculating about whether the case was related to the man, but since it was a case that had not yet been completed, it could basically be ruled out.
Unexpectedly, Han Tai frowned and smiled bitterly.
"Speaking of women with dogs...... She is now suspected to be missing. ”
