Chapter 49: Homicide
People always fall into calm after impulse, and a conflict ends in such a way that the child's mother has fainted from crying and has been sent home, and the child's father cannot accept the blow and collapses in bed.
And what happened is indeed like this: Ma Lao Er has a son who is five and a half years old this year, named Ma Wenjun, and in the afternoon, there was no one at home, and Ma Lao Er and his wife went to work in the fields.
Hongcun is not big, this child is quite sensible except for the naughtiness unique to that age, as usual, when he left the house, Xiaojun was still driving the train with a small bench in the yard.
There is a courtyard in the Ma family, the railing is slightly higher than Xiaojun, and standing there and looking down is the roof of the City Hall.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the proprietress of the commissary also met Xiaojun, and the child took change and came to buy candied fruit.
His next-door neighbor also saw the child picking chestnuts in the oak forest at two o'clock, and he politely called someone "grandma"
。
Ma Lao Er finished work at half past four, and when he returned home, the yard door was open, and the child was not there, so he shouted a few times in the yard and did not see a response.
At first, I didn't take it seriously, thinking that the child was going to play somewhere, and the Ma family's dinner was fine at five o'clock, usually at this time Xiaojun was already clamoring for his own small bowl, but the child still didn't appear.
Mao's second daughter-in-law also lost her temper, saying that she would teach the child a good lesson when she came back, and she didn't know how to come back so late.
At around a quarter past five, Ma Lao Er looked around his home for a few laps and didn't see anyone, so he went next door to ask, Xiaojun had a few playmates in Hong Village, and they were of the same age.
Mao Lao Er thought that it would be to go to someone else's house to play and be left to eat, the husband and wife began to go out separately, and they didn't see their son after looking for it, one of the children said that they saw Xiaojun on the wooden bridge in front of his house at three o'clock, and Ma Lao Er hurried this time to be afraid that his son had fallen into the river.
At six o'clock, many people in the village knew the news of Ma Wenjun's disappearance and began to help find him, while Ma Lao and his wife walked downstream along the river.
Almost before and after Cha Wenbin woke up, someone found a sachet on the side wall of the Great Hall, and after the identification of the Ma family, the sachet was sewn for him by Ma Wenjun's grandmother, with his name on it, and it was usually tied to his waist.
There was a fire in the Great Hall a few years ago, when it was a village-run collective broom factory.
In addition to the pile of brooms, half of the roof and one of the walls with the most raw materials were burned.
Later, the roof was renovated and the wall was repainted with lime.
Two years ago, a crack appeared on the left side near the end of the Great Hall, and several bricks crumbled inside, revealing a hole just the size of a five- or six-year-old child.
Because the hole was small, and the Great Hall had been abandoned for many years, the village didn't care to repair it, and the big guys thought that the kid had just wiped the sachet off his waist because he had gotten into the hole.
Someone was lying at the entrance of the cave and shouted but there was no response, and Ma Lao Er and his wife also hurried over, because this hall had just been used by the Kong family, and the keys were still in the hands of Kong Boss, so after a while, someone looked for Kong Boss to open the door.
As soon as I heard that people and children might have gotten in, they rushed over without eating, and it was said that the place where the coffin was parked should not be easily disturbed, but Boss Kong thought that it was important to save people, and this time he really didn't shirk half a point.
As soon as the door was opened, the first person to enter the house was Ma Laoer's daughter-in-law, who only listened to her "whoa"
I had to howl and fell down at that time.
What happened?
Ma Wenjun was hung in the middle of the Great Hall, where there was a wooden five-pointed star overhead, and one of the coffins of the second elder of the Kong family that contained his father had fallen to the ground, and the coffin board also rolled to the side, and the bones inside were scattered all over the ground.
At this time, Boss Kong was dumbfounded, and knelt down with a plop, that was his own father, how could he go back and explain to his brothers and sisters.
He cried and cried, and someone immediately borrowed a ladder to relieve Ma Wenjun, the child's body was already hard, cold, and unusually shriveled, and the cheeks on his cheeks were stuck in.
The child's hands and feet were wrapped twice with hemp rope, and the rope beaters used a very strange technique, and the villagers tried to solve it but found that they had no way to do it, so they had to cut it with knives.
In addition to these, what is even more strange is that the child has a copper coin hanging on his feet, tied with red thread and hung between his feet, but the child's original clothes have been stripped naked, and he has been replaced with a shroud that was originally placed in the grave of Boss Kong and his father...... Soon it was discovered that the rope that hung the child was used to carry the coffin of Boss Kong's father, and it was precisely because of the lack of this rope that the coffin fell to the ground.
This door is well locked, the key is only available to Boss Kong, everyone knows that he is at home today, and only this child can get into the small hole outside.
Because his father was inside, Boss Kong specially closed the windows around him the night before and pasted a layer of newspapers, and all the entrances and exits were sealed.
Without any excuses, the first thing that comes to people's minds is that this is a paranormal event!
The night before, Mr. Kong held a banquet and invited two mages to open the altar.
More than half of the villagers present today watched the whole process at the Kong family yesterday, and there were originally many people who did not believe in evil last night, since there are really "ghosts" in this world
, Then the conclusion is about to come out, it must be that this kid naughtily got in and was killed by the ghost of the second elder of the Kong family, poor Ma Wenjun died like that, and he was still a twisted child and became a substitute ghost.
If it weren't for the bright brain of Old Kong, who thought that this matter would be spread on his head, and used the excuse of going back and calling someone to run first, it is estimated that he would have been beaten to death in the Great Hall on the spot.
No, after the accident, Boss Kong immediately asked his nephew to ask Cha Wenbin to come back, but he was already surrounded at home and begged God to tell his master.
It is estimated that if they hadn't arrived, the Kong family would have been captured in a few minutes, and then it would really not be a trivial matter of horse artillery shedding some blood, and Boss Kong would be forced to death if he was not killed today.
After learning what happened, Cha Wenbin's first reaction was that this was a murder case, so he immediately asked the village to call the police station first; Second, all other irrelevant people go home, and the more people there are, the easier it is to disturb the clues; Third, the village sent people to live in the Ma family and the Kong family respectively to prevent the situation from expanding; Fourthly, no one is allowed to enter the General Assembly Hall until the police arrive, and the militia is guarded by gunmen.
Such an arrangement is both reasonable and reasonable, and many people can't help but secretly give this young man a thumbs up again, but he is not flustered at a young age, and he can not only control the scene but also come up with a way, and the village party secretary immediately stated that he would implement these articles.
Xia Laoliu, as the old pole in the village, was ordered to take care of the Great Hall in danger.
At that time, the police were not as high-tech as they are now, and the nearest police station to Hongcun was in the town, and it was more than an hour's journey to get here.
At eight o'clock, the two sides of the river in the City Hall were full of people, and a jeep with police lights and a three-wheeled crotch entered the scene one after the other.
Leading the team is Wan Yongqiang, the criminal investigation captain of the county public security brigade with rich experience, who was a comrade-in-arms with Xia Laoliu before, and both retired from the Korean battlefield.
Xia Laoliu was stubborn and unwilling to eat public meals before returning to the village to be a farmer, he likes to be comfortable.
As soon as the two looked at each other, Captain Nawan called Lao Liu to ask about the general situation, and when he heard that many people had entered the scene and the child had been released, Lao Wan frowned.
Sure enough, when he wore shoe covers, gloves and a flashlight, he cautiously entered the house and saw that the shoe prints all over the ground and the handprints on the pillars on the wall were even more messy, and he couldn't extract any valuable clues at all.
After inspecting the general scene, Lao Wan withdrew first, and the remaining group of policemen continued to search for clues inside, and Lao Wan, who pulled Xia Lao Liu, took him to a place where there were few people, and asked: "I heard that this house is a bit evil, right?" ”
Xia Lao Liu patted the epaulettes on his shoulder and said, "Do you still believe this, the captain of the criminal investigation team?" ”
Lao Wan scattered a cigarette for Lao Xia, lit one himself, sighed, and said: "I'm old, I'm going to retire in a few years, I've handled a lot of cases over the years, and I've seen a lot of weird ones." There are still several headless cases hanging in my hand, and I heard from the driver before I left today that there had been an accident in this hall before. By the way, he is from your Hongcun Village, and he is also a soldier, and after he retires from the army, he will be assigned to the public security bureau as a driver. To be honest, in my experience, this child's case is not easy to solve, the scene is too badly damaged, and there is a lack of eyewitnesses, so it is more likely to be temporarily classified as a vendetta. ”
"Vendetta?"
Xia Lao Liu thought about it for a while, if this was a vendetta, wouldn't it be done by someone from his own village?
But who has such a big enmity with Ma Lao'er's family, so he has to use that kind of bad means to attack a child?
After smoking, Lao Wan put away his waist bag and said: "Okay, I won't leave tonight, it is estimated that this work will have to be carried out for several days, and I will sleep at your house in a while, and our comrades-in-arms will have a few drinks at night if we don't see each other for a few years." ”
It was busy until the early hours of the morning, when the police bureau decided to send the child's body back first, saying that they wanted to ask a forensic doctor to find out the cause of death.
As soon as these words came out, the Ma family stopped doing it, and Ma's second daughter-in-law rushed down from the bed barefoot and hugged her son, saying that if anyone wanted to take him away tonight, he would take him away with himself, and whoever dared to move would die to show him, and the scene suddenly froze there......
