Chapter 3: Three Mile Coffin Town

Ye Zi reported on the information collected: "According to the residents, the town of Sanli Coffin is next door to our town. However, it is sparsely populated, and the permanent population of a town is not as large as a tunzi in our town, so few people know about the existence of this town. The name is given because most of the residents of their town make a living by opening coffin shops. It is said that there is a street from the entrance of the town to the end of the town, and this street is three miles long, but the strange thing is that this street does not sell anything, only coffins. ”

Zhang Tianyi always felt that things were not so simple. The male deceased died cleanly, not only because the crime scene was clean, but also because the clothes and even the nails worn by the deceased were deliberately dressed and trimmed. The strange way of death of the deceased at the scene of the crime, the movement of folding his hands and bending his legs, is more like praying. The way the female deceased died was much more casual, except for the inexplicable bite marks and the blood missing from her body, everything else was normal.

Zhang Tianyi lowered his head and rubbed the wooden card, thinking that when the case was solved, he must take the time to go back to his hometown.

"Boss? You okay? ”

But the man called out two sentences.

"Hmm......? Oh...... I'm fine......" Zhang Tianyi then asked, "Has the head of the male deceased been found?" ”

Da Kui and Sen Zi shook their heads helplessly: "We checked the large and small garbage cans and garbage recycling stations in the town, and we didn't find the head and limbs of the male deceased. We also asked a salvage team to help with the river reservoir in the town, but so far nothing has been found. ”

Zhang Tianyi thought about it. It is imperative that the missing head and limbs of the deceased man be found first, and perhaps some new discoveries will be made. But now it's the third day after the crime, and I don't have a clue, and I can't wait. So on the one hand, he asked Da Kui Senzi to step up the salvage, and on the other hand, he asked Keren Ye to inform the residents of the town to check the doors and windows before going to bed and do some preventive work. As for Zhang Tianyi, after the meeting ended, he called Lin Fan to prepare to go to Sanli Coffin Town to see if there were any clues.

Lin Fan was pulled off as soon as he was about to get into the car, and Zhang Tianyi pointed to the motorcycle at the door of the police station and said, "Ride this over." ”

I heard Ye Zi say that Sanli Coffin Town is full of mountain roads, and it is estimated that it is difficult to drive by car, so Zhang Tianyi prepared a motorcycle in advance.

Sanli Coffin Town said that it was next door to Ping'an Town, but in fact, the journey still takes some time.

On the way, Zhang Tianyi was thinking, there is nothing wrong with staying away from the city. Just like now, riding a motorcycle on a mountain road, everywhere you go, insects and birds are singing endlessly, fresh air, looking up at the blue sky, and the distance is full of green, and people are also in a lot of spirit.

But when he thought of the confusing case, Zhang Tianyi's mood instantly fell to the bottom. The cruelty of the murderer's modus operandi is simply outrageous, and even the seniors of the police academy have probably never seen it.

The mountain road is not easy to walk, there are stumbles along the way, and in some places the road is narrow and can only be walked against the mountain. Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan chatted while hurrying, from the case to the previous days in the police academy, before they knew it, it was already noon.

After walking for a while, Zhang Tianfang did not stop until a few wisps of green smoke could be faintly seen, and there was a black coffin standing in front of them.

Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan glanced at each other, and they both saw the incomprehension in each other's eyes.

Lin Fan got out of the car to inspect it, thinking that this coffin was made of cement or carved in stone, but who knew that he knocked on it and found that it was a real coffin.

Lin Fan opened his mouth to say something, but Zhang Tianyi pointed to the other side of the coffin.

Lin Fan looked along and saw that the right side of the coffin was written with the three big characters "Sanli Coffin". Lin Fan suddenly realized, it turned out to be telling pedestrians that Sanli Coffin Town had arrived. However, the names of other towns are usually written on street signs or road monuments, but this town is really strange that the name is actually written on the coffin.

Zhang Tianyi was also deeply puzzled, but when he thought that the people in this town made a living by making and selling coffins, he was not surprised.

Not far in front of Sanli Coffin Town, Zhang Tianyi looked at it and found that the road was full of weeds and thorns and other shrubs, and the motorcycle may not be able to drive in. So he parked the car at the entrance of the town and prepared to walk into the town with Lin Fan.

The road into the town is not easy to walk, and if you are not careful, you will be scratched by thorns, and it seems that there are not many people coming in and out of this town. But this town sells coffins for a living, and the road is so difficult to walk, how can this coffin be transported out? And the road into the town seems to have been untraveled for a long time, and some shrubs have grown, so how do the people in the town solve their daily lives? Zhang Tianyi thought about it for a while, and he had a headache again.

However, when he entered the town, Zhang Tianyi found that all he thought was superfluous. Sanli Coffin Town is said to be a town, but it is not as big as a tunzi in Ping'an Town, after all, it is only three miles from the head of the town to the end of the town. But not everyone in the town sells coffins for a living, although most of them sell some funeral items such as shrouds, incense, candles, and paper figures, but there are still some stores that sell daily necessities.

Zhang Tianyi patted Lin Fan's shoulder and motioned for him to follow, and then walked into a roadside shop. After entering the store, Zhang Tianyi looked at the environment of the store, the store is not big, but the goods sold are quite complete.

The shopkeeper asked suspiciously, "What do you want to buy?" ”

Zhang Tianyi asked the boss to take a pack of cigarettes, opened it and handed it to the boss, and asked with a smile: "Is Wang Fugui from this town?" ”

The boss hesitated, staring at Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan without knowing what they were thinking.

Lin Fan took out his documents and put them on the counter, and said softly: "I am a forensic doctor, he is a police officer, and we came here this time to understand the situation." ”

The boss picked up Lin Fan's forensic certificate and looked at it carefully, and then looked at Zhang Tianyi.

Zhang Tianyi also handed the police officer card to the boss and said, "Now you can talk about it." ”

The boss looked at it for a while, returned the documents to the two, nodded and said, "That's right, it's true that the people in our town are true, and we only found out about Fugui and Xing'er yesterday." ”

The boss then sighed and said, "Alas, the rules set by the ancestors, you can't go out, you can't go out......"

"Can't get out? What do you mean? ”

Zhang Tian asked subconsciously, but no matter how much he asked, the shopkeeper was always unwilling to reveal another word.

Lin Fan shook his head a little helplessly, and Zhang Tianyi always felt that the shopkeeper seemed to know something. However, others didn't want to say more, and it was impossible for them to torture to extract confessions, so they called Lin Fan and went out of the store.

After going out, Zhang Tianyi smoked a few cigarettes in a row, Lin Fan came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you can't be in a hurry to solve the case, the more anxious you are, the easier it is to ignore some subtle clues." ”

Zhang Tianyi rubbed his face and nodded, "Let's go, let's go to the deceased's house." ”

According to the instructions of the villagers, Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan soon arrived at the deceased's house. The deceased's family lived at the end of the town, and there was only one mother in her fifties, and the deceased's father fell to his death when he was young.

Zhang Tianyi knocked on the door, and after a while, there was the sound of a deadbolt inside. It was the deceased's mother who opened the door, but as soon as the door opened, a fishy smell rushed straight to the noses of the two. But fortunately, the two of them have a special job, and they haven't smelled anything after dealing with corpses for so many years, and they will be immune over time.

The old woman held the door with one hand and the crutches with the other and said, "It's a comrade policeman, come in and sit inside." ”

Zhang Tianyi and Lin Fan entered the house to understand where the fishy smell came from. There was a pure wooden coffin in the room that had not yet been painted, and there was a stove next to the coffin to burn this pot of black and slimy liquid, and the fishy smell came from inside, Zhang Tianyi knew that the old woman was boiling asphalt to prepare to color the coffin.

Just now, I saw that the house was quite big from the outside, but when I went in, I found that the small one was pitiful. Zhang Tianyi looked at it and found that the house was divided, only a small piece was where he lived, and the rest of the place was piled with wood and a few coffins.

It was dark in the room, and the old woman fumbled to turn on the light.

Zhang Tianyi held the old woman and asked, "Your eyes ......?"

The old woman turned on the lamp and said, "I was blinded when I boiled asphalt a few years ago." After turning on the light, he beckoned: "Comrade police, you sit, the conditions at home are not very good, and I hope you don't dislike it." ”

"How could it be, you laughed......" Zhang Tianyi said as he glanced around. After looking around, Zhang Tianyi found that there were no chairs or beds in the room, only a vermilion coffin by the window, Zhang Tianyi thought that the old woman wouldn't sleep in it at night, right?

The old woman sat on the edge of the coffin and said, "Have you come to inquire about riches?" ”

Zhang Tian nodded, and suddenly thought that the old woman was blind, so he said: "Yes, I hope you can mourn and change ......."
