Chapter 11: Walking the Earth Gate

Zhang Tianyi returned to the police station after sending Lin Fan back to the hospital, and when he returned, Da Kui and Ye Zi were interrogating the suspect.

Zhang Tianyi poured a glass of water and walked over to Lin Keren and asked, "Has the suspect confessed?" Lin Keren pointed to the big screen in front of him and said: "Da Kui and Ye Zi have been interrogated for nearly an hour, but they still haven't asked any useful clues, but the suspect has said that he was wronged, and said that we arrested the wrong person." ”

"Call them all out, and I'll go in and have a look." Zhang Tianyi decided to interrogate himself alone. Then he turned back and asked, "By the way, what's his name?" ”

Lin Keren handed the suspect's information to Zhang Tianyi and said: "The suspect's name is Wang Youcai, and he belongs to the same Sanli Coffin Town as the first three victims. Although he has not yet confessed, we have preliminary evidence, and there is still a dispute of interest between him and the two deceased today. ”

"Did they have financial dealings?" Zhang Tianyi asked. Lin Keren nodded and said, "According to our investigation, the deceased borrowed a sum of money to the suspect before his death. The evidence that Lin Keren said should be the controlled knives that Lin Fan said before, but Zhang Tianyi didn't know about the interests.

After Da Kui Yezi came out, he said hello to Zhang Tianyi and said: "Boss, this kid doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he keeps babbling about saying that the murderer is not a person, and what nonsense such as the curse of the white fox." ”

Zhang Tian nodded and said that he knew, and then walked into the interrogation room. As soon as Zhang Tianyi entered, he heard Wang Youcai shouting a little out of control: "Officer, I am really innocent, all this was done by the white fox, I want to go back, this is a curse, this is a curse!" ”

"Don't get excited, we'll let you go back after we understand. However, you have to work with us. Zhang Tian lit two cigarettes, one for himself and one for Wang Youcai.

Wang Youcai trembled his fingers, took the cigarette and slowly calmed down and said, "Okay, okay, I'll cooperate, I'll cooperate......"

"Name?"

"The king has wealth."

"Where?"

"A native of Sanli Coffin Town."

"Why kill people?"

After Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, his eyes locked on Wang Youcai's expression.

Wang Youcai was stunned and lost control of his emotions again: "I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill anyone!" Wang Youcai stood up and walked around the interrogation room with his head down, and said with some anxiety: "The person was killed by the white fox, I saw it, I really saw it......"

Zhang Tianyi slapped the table and said, "Okay! Since you said that people were killed by white foxes, why did you say that white foxes killed people? Zhang Tianyi guided Wang Youcai, when he went to Sanli Coffin Town before, he felt that the people in the town were hiding something, but no one wanted to say it, and Wang Youcai was also from Sanli Coffin Town, Zhang Tianyi wanted to be able to get something out of his mouth.

Although Wang Youcai's mood was not very stable, he was not surrounded by Zhang Tianyi, holding his head and saying, "I don't know!" I don't know anything! ”

"You don't have garlic for me!" Zhang Tianyi raised his voice and continued: "We have all investigated, you owe money to the deceased, and someone saw you at the scene of the crime before the crime, and you yourself also bought a knife in a hardware store." So you kill them that night, and then you start to break up the corpses, and disguise the scene as the scene when the previous murderer committed the crime, so that not only do you not have to pay them back, but you also blame the previous murderer, you kid is quite smart. ”

"It's not me! I really didn't kill anyone! Wang Youcai's last psychological defense line was defeated by Zhang Tianyi. Zhang Tianyi knew that Wang Youcai was going to confess, so he pretended to say: "Then let's talk about what happened that night." ”

Wang Youcai asked Zhang Tianyi for a cigarette and said: "I was sleeping at home the night before the crime, and when I went out to go to the toilet at night, I found a white shadow running behind me. At first I thought it was a rabbit and thought I could catch it and open it, so I chased after it. It was very dark at the time, and I followed the white shadow all the way to the scene of the crime, but when I passed, I found that the white shadow was gone, so I searched everywhere and found a wooden sign. ”

"Wooden signs?" Zhang Tianyi muttered and asked, "What wooden card?" Then I saw Wang Youcai take it out of his pocket and say, "That's it, I didn't know what it was at that time, so I went back in my pocket." ”

Zhang Tianyi took the wooden plaque and found that it was exactly the same as the wooden plaque found at the scene of the crime in the previous cases. Zhang Tianyi felt that the clues were slowly becoming clear, so he urged Wang Youcai to hurry up.

Wang Youcai recalled: "The next day I went to the market hardware store and bought a knife, which I wanted to use to slaughter rabbits, because I thought it would definitely come." I wasn't at home on the day of the crime, I just squatted where it took me last night, and who knew that it actually came after a while! ”

Speaking of this, Wang Youcai's expression gradually distorted. His eyes were hollow, his body trembled like a sieve, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I first saw the white shadow, and just as I thought about it, I heard the voice of the deceased, because I owed them money and didn't dare to go out rashly at that time, and hid in the grass nearby." But then I found out that the white shadow was not a rabbit, it was a fox, a snow-white fox! The fox suddenly jumped on the body of the deceased and bit off their major artery, and I was so frightened that I covered my mouth and did not dare to breathe, but who knew that the fox actually looked back at me with its mouth full of blood, as if it was still laughing. Right! It's just laughing! It smiled at me! ”

"And then? What happened to the limbs of the deceased? Zhang Tianyi asked. And Wang Youcai didn't seem to hear his words, and kept shaking his head and saying, "I don't know!" I really don't know! I seemed to be frightened, and in my dream I saw the fox coming towards me! It's a curse! The curse of the white fox! ”

After that, no matter what Zhang Tianyi said, Wang Youcai kept repeating these words. Zhang Tianyi sighed and beckoned to the monitor, and Lin Keren and the others quickly rushed in.

Zhang Tianyi originally wanted to ask about the curse of the Sanli coffin, but judging from the current situation, I am afraid that he can't ask anything. But fortunately, I got some clues from Wang Youcai's mouth, but these clues are the same as if they are not, and you can't submit what Wang Youcai said to your superiors that the murderer is a fox, right?

Zhang Tianyi was thinking about how to deal with this when Lin Fan suddenly called, and Lin Fan said on the phone that the totem had news and asked him to go to him quickly.

As soon as Zhang Tian took his coat and was about to go over, Lin Keren asked behind him: "Boss, how to deal with the suspect?" Zhang Tian said without replying: "You must take care of it, and wait for me to come back." After that, Zhang Tian rushed over as soon as he stepped on the accelerator.

Lin Fan's hospital is not far from the police station, and it takes a few minutes to drive down the mountain. When Zhang Tianyi passed, Lin Fan was staring at the computer searching for something, and when he heard movement behind him, he realized that Zhang Tianyi had come.

Lin Fan beckoned Zhang Tianyi to come over, then pointed to the computer screen and said, "I checked the Internet according to your meaning, and found that this totem had been unearthed in a tomb in Bashu." ”

"What tomb?" Zhang Tianyi searched in his head, and he didn't remember any large-scale mausoleums unearthed in Bashu.

"A small group of tombs, there is nothing of research value in it, mainly because the identity of the people in the tombs is somewhat special, and archaeologists did not figure out which period they were at that time." Lin Fan said and clicked on a picture for Zhang Tianyi to see. The picture should be an archaeological site, there are very few things unearthed in the tomb group, and the only clay pots and clay pots are also broken, but the ancient corpses in the coffins are well preserved without any traces of decay.

"You go on." Lin Fan clicked on the next picture and said, "Look at the clothes on these ancient corpses, each of them has a totem on it. Although the depiction of the spiritual position is not a complete totem, it can still be seen that the two are nearly 90% similar. ”

Zhang Tian enlarged the picture a little bit, and the complete totem couldn't tell what kind of animal it was, like a fox and a wolf, black all over, without a tail, cross-legged and folded hands, a bit like the appearance of a white fox worshipping the moon.

"Have you figured out the history of the tomb complex?" Now that the complete totem has come out, the next thing to do is to know who is buried in the tomb.

Lin Fan held his chin and said: "After the tomb group was discovered, some top historians in China held a symposium, and finally deduced from the cultural relics unearthed in the tomb and the clothing on the ancient corpse that this tomb group should be the ancestral hall of a primitive tribe, our modern name is the ancestral tomb, and the name of this primitive tribe is "Walking Tumen". ”

"Any other information? Didn't you find the text? Zhang Tianyi then asked. Lin Fan shook his head and said: "The word "Tumen" is basically not a related topic on the Internet, only that it is a primitive tribe in BC. There were no clues about the text, but I copied it and sent it to a professor in the Chinese department at the university, maybe he might know him. ”

"Oh yes, I found an image on a forum online." Lin Fan said as he coded a string of links on the computer, and then clicked search.

Only the computer screen was lit in the room, and Zhang Tianyi carefully studied the picture in front of him.

This picture is very blurry, the location is a bit like a tropical rainforest, and the picture shows a group of people holding hands in a circle, which looks a bit like a bonfire party for the Miao people in China. But among them they could faintly see a stone altar, on which lay a man, and on that person's face seemed to lie a black thing, and in each of the four corners of the altar was a man kneeling with his hands folded.

"Can you zoom in?" Zhang Tianyi asked. Just looking at the photo feels very weird, but the black thing on the stone altar aroused Zhang Tianyi's curiosity.

"I guess I can, you try." After Lin Fan finished speaking, Zhang Tianyi tried to enlarge the picture. Maybe it's because of the pixels, although the picture is enlarged, I still can't see the black thing clearly. However, Zhang Tianyi found the same text on the stone altar as the bottom of the spiritual seat.

Zhang Tianyi put down the mouse and said, "They seem to be holding some kind of ritual." After hearing this, Lin Fan nodded and said, "It's a ceremony, but specifically it should be a sacrifice." ”

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he saw Zhang Tianyi looking at him, so he waved his hand and continued: "You don't have to look at me, I know so much." It is not clear what the sacrifice was, but it seems ancient and mysterious. I think they should all be people who walk through the dirt gate. ”

"Can you contact the uploader?" Zhang Tianyi thinks that the photographer should know a lot. Originally, it was just a criminal case, but now it involves so many things, and now it seems to be connected with the Tumen, Zhang Tianyi feels that the case is getting more and more tricky.

Lin Fan looked at the picture and said: "The upload date of this picture is 2002, three years have passed since now, I should be able to contact it if I try." ”
