Chapter 474: Pear God
"In such a remote place, there will inevitably be wild dogs. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info In the cemetery, wild dogs will dig graves and eat the dead. If there are buried corpses in this forest, they can't hide from our noses, and they can't hide from the noses of wild dogs. Dingoes don't come out to do this during the day, so we just need to look for a place after dark where there are wild dogs. Mu Sen explained to Meng Xiaotian.
But Meng Xiaotian felt that Mu Sen's method was not very scientific, and it could not be said that all wild dogs had that kind of hobby. Isn't it a bit too resigned to fate to bet on the location of the corpse like this?
However, Meng Xiaotian didn't immediately refute Mu Sen, only to see Mu Sen turn around and face the village at this time and analyze: "Look, the largest pear orchards are all here, if you want to drag a person away from the village, it will definitely not work in the location where the houses are concentrated." It has to be a little off, that is, ......" Mu Sen looked left and right at the village in the distance, and finally confirmed: "See?" It's that corner of the granary. There are relatively few houses in the villagers, and a few large pear trees occupy the space. If I were the murderer in this village, I would choose to start there, and then trick the victim to the edge of the woods and forcibly abduct her. Because there are many people in other places, it is the quietest place, and there is no one at night. ”
Meng Xiaotian reacted and said, "Then do we have to go in that direction?" See if there is any evidence left along the way. ”
"Yes, let's go." After Mu Sen finished speaking decisively, he walked in the direction of the granary.
They used the flashlights on their mobile phones as lighting, carefully inspecting the ground under their feet step by step. Even if it was a long drag mark, Mu Sen had to squat down and examine it very carefully.
The cool breeze of the night blows through the forest paths, the leaves rattle, the branches sway, and the occasional strange chirp of crows or other birds. Such a night is indeed a bit terrifying.
Meng Xiaotian's sense of fear came up again. He approached Mu Sen, wanted to divert his attention, and asked, "Brother Sen...... Do you often appear in this kind of place when you usually solve cases with Brother Yan? Do you often look for something that is very hard to find? ”
Mu Sen still lowered his head and observed the ground under his feet, and replied without raising his head: "That's not it." ”
"Ah, look at ...... I'll just say it! Who wouldn't feel panicked in a place like this? ”
"He and I often go to cemeteries, mass graves, morgues, autopsy rooms and things like that, because there are cases of dismemberment and dumping. One person was dismantled in pieces, then put into a few bags and scattered in mass graves. In that case, we'd have to find the whole body and piece it together as a whole person. There were animal carcasses in that place, human carcasses, and animals eating human carcasses...... In short, it's much harder to find. Mu Sen said lightly, but he didn't notice that Meng Xiaotian's face was getting whiter and paler.
As if to match Meng Xiaotian's mood, there were several more dog barks in the distance. The sound was different from the usual family dog. The terrible sound was like a howl.
Meng Xiaotian's face was ugly, and he tugged at the corner of Mu Sen's clothes and said, "Brother Sen...... Listen to it! Is this a dog or a wolf? How do I feel like a wolf howling? ”
"There are a lot of people in this place, where did the wolves come from? Besides, dogs are changed from wolves, and wolves are the ancestors of dogs, and they occasionally bark the same, is there anything strange about that? Be quiet, don't alarm the dogs, you'll have to count on them to locate the corpse in a moment! Mu Sen glanced at Meng Xiaotian. I really can't stand his surprise problem.
Whenever this happens, Mu Sen misses Mo Zitong very much. Don't know if he's safe now? Are there any dangers? Where and what did you find...... Will it be targeted by L......
As soon as I think of these questions. Mu Sen felt an indescribable discomfort in his heart. I still blame myself, I should have been more meticulous in Yan Yuting's matter at the beginning, and the current situation would not have become like this.
Meng Xiaotian saw that Mu Sen's pace slowed down, and he looked full of concern, so he asked, "Brother Sen, what's wrong with you?" What ...... was discovered? Still is...... Remembering Brother Yan? ”
Mu Sen smiled bitterly and said, "Yes." If I don't have him by my side, it's always hard for me to be fully engaged and calm. And now I am not safe with him, and the hostile eyes of many sides are staring at us. I'm afraid he'll have an accident by himself, anyway......" Mu Sen didn't know what else to say, so he only sighed.
"You didn't mean that. Brother Yan, did he choose to plan because he wanted to find out the truth about Chu Tianshu and them? As long as he doesn't misunderstand you and isn't angry with you, that's fine! Meng Xiaotian's fear was successfully transferred, and he comforted Mu Sen bitterly at this time.
Mu Sen smiled: "If he hadn't been angry, he wouldn't have investigated this matter in such a necessary way." As he was talking, Mu Sen suddenly bent down and said, "What is this?!" ”
Meng Xiaotian hurriedly got closer, raised his mobile phone to help Mu Sen shine, Mu Sen had a shiny thing in his hand, that is, because it was quite bright, so it was noticed by Mu Sen under the light.
"What is this...... Diamonds? Meng Xiaotian looked at the dirty thing in Mu Sen's hand and said.
"This ...... It should be diamonds on a girl's clothes, shoes, or jewelry. fake, but it played a decorative effect. Mu Sen looked at it carefully.
Meng Xiaotian looked at the front and back, and then exclaimed: "This place is in the middle of the pear orchard!" Could it be that someone who came to travel before dropped it? They're going to go here, right? ”
Mu Sen shook his head and said, "I can't be sure yet. But if I look at the weeds and trees around here, there should be very few people coming to this area. Did you read the place near the village? It will be the most visited place. After the sting, the snakes and insects in the field came out, and no one wanted to meet them in this place. Therefore, even if you enjoy the flowers, everyone chooses a place with more people. With that, Mu Sen walked a few quick steps and said, "Let's see, if there is anything else around here." ”
Under the careful rummaging of Mu Sen and Meng Xiaotian, they picked up another hairpin from the flowers on the side.
Mu Sen compared the small diamond ornament in his hand with the hairpin, just right!
Mu Sen glanced at Meng Xiaotian and said, "This thing has been broken, if it just fell to the ground, it shouldn't have become what it is now." There must have been a fierce struggle around here, perhaps the victim dropped the hairpin and smashed it in the process of desperately struggling. Let's go deeper along this path. Let's see if there's any place inside that is convenient for committing crimes. ”
The two of them walked towards the depths of the pear orchard, and along the way they would find overpowered weeds and deep drag marks.
Mussen said that the area where the weeds were overwhelmed looked like a human being dragged over, and the drag marks on the ground were like two heels of a person. The killer should have made the victim face the sky on his back. It's been dragged upside down.
"In this place, rape, abuse, murder, and corpse dumping in broad daylight are not possible even in a forest, right? If you think about it, these pear trees are all cared for. It's not like no one is passing by. Meng Xiaotian reminded Mu Sen.
Mu Sen nodded and replied, "Yes, the murderer needs a place to commit crimes." And this place is probably in this pear orchard. What would that be? ”
Following the trail of the overwhelmed weeds, Mussen walked all the way to a deep place. Until near a huge pear tree, the weeds disappeared and the traces disappeared.
Meng Xiaotian turned around twice and said in surprise, "Hey?!" That's weird! Nothing. How did it disappear out of thin air? Could it be that the man could still be eaten by the pear tree? After speaking, Meng Xiaotian raised his head and glanced at the pear tree in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Oh my God...... I've never seen a pear tree that big! Doesn't that have to be hundreds? ”
Mu Sen also raised his head to look at this special pear tree, the huge crown and thick body of the tree showed that this pear tree was indeed old. And judging from the strips of red cloth hanging from the canopy of the tree, it is possible that the villagers have a superstitious worship of this tree. The strips of red cloth on the branches, some of which have turned white, some of which are very new, proves that people often come here to hang such things.
"Brother Sen. What are these red stripes? Meng Xiaotian asked curiously.
"I guess I pray that this pear tree will bless the whole village with good weather and good crops...... After all, the village lives on pears, and they worship an old pear tree. It's not that it's incomprehensible Moessen said.
"Then why did a trace we finally find disappear in front of this pear tree like this!!" Meng Xiaotian was a little anxious, because this supernatural phenomenon made him a little confused and overwhelmed.
Mu Sen circled around the big pear tree twice and said, "This tree is growing well, it should be a hundred years old." What would it mean that the traces are gone? ”
"It won't be...... This pear tree has become a fine tree! Meng Xiaotian said with the light of his mobile phone shining on his face.
"Well, let's go back first. Ask the village chief about the tree tomorrow. Then see if you can go up and see if there are any clues. People will not disappear suddenly, and it is even more impossible to go to heaven and earth, and the murderer and the corpse must be around here. As he spoke, a pair of glowing eyes approached from far to near in front of them!
Especially under the irradiation of the mobile phone flashlight, it is even more scary!
Meng Xiaotian was stunned for a moment when he saw those eyes. Then he immediately jumped behind Mu Sen and asked in a low voice, "Sen, Brother Sen...... Haunted! It's really haunted! If it weren't for the fact that this pear tree had become a spirit, it would have been the appearance of a dead soul!! "Ever since Meng Xiaotian experienced the case in his own family, he has always been suspicious. He was already timid, but he was stimulated by that incident, and he was even more a little bit of a snake.
Mu Sen stared at those eyes for a while, then lowered his voice and said to Meng Xiaotian, "That's a wild dog, let's go." I think it's coming to this pear tree! ”
"You said there was a corpse near this pear tree?!" Meng Xiaotian forgot his fear.
"Let's go......" Mu Sen pushed Meng Xiaotian and left the big pear tree as lightly as possible.
After they left, the shadow slowly moved to the edge of a row of pear trees not far from the big pear tree, and soon the sound of paws plowing the ground sounded.
Mu Sen glanced at Meng Xiaotian silently, and then signaled him not to make any moves, and went directly back to the village chief's house.
The village chief gave them absolute freedom to come and go as they pleased. After coming back in the middle of the night, in order to avoid disturbing the village chief, Mu Sen and Meng Xiaotian didn't discuss too much, and went back to their rooms to sleep.
Until the next morning, Mu Sen got up early and went to the courtyard to wait for the village chief. As soon as the village chief came out of the house, he asked with a smile, "Why did you get up so early?" Are you still used to sleeping here? ”
"That's good, I'm sorry for you." Mu Sen said politely.
"You came back late last night, didn't you? How's it going, have you found anything? "The village chief is more concerned about the results of their investigation.
Mu Sen nodded and said, "There is a result, the suspect who committed the crime is from this village." ”
"What?!" When the village chief heard this, the white beard stood up! He glared at Mu Sen in disbelief, and then said again and again: "Impossible! No way! How could the people in our village harm our own people?! When pigs fly! ”
"I have a way of knowing who it is, but only if I want to ask, is there anything about the big pear tree in the pear orchard? Can we go around there and look for clues? Mussen asked.
"How?" The village chief's face became a little wary.
Mu Sen replied simply: "Dig." ”
As soon as he heard this word, the village chief immediately shook his head and said resolutely: "No! Absolutely not! That's our pear god! The reason why the pear trees in our village are vigorous and the fruits are so sweet is that it is all thanks to the blessing of the pear god! You want to dig a pit around there, absolutely not! ”
This reaction was expected by Mu Sen. He knew that the tree must be very noble. In this village, where people would rather take a detour and not cut down a tree, the hundred-year-old pear tree must have a higher status than the village chief. If you want to move that tree, it's absolutely impossible.
But the problem is that now the clues they found have disappeared near the pear tree, which proves that the problem near the pear tree is very big. If you don't move the soil, how can you know if there is a corpse underneath? If you are not sure of the corpse, how can you know the modus operandi of the criminal? If you don't know the method, how can you reason about the suspect's profile and determine who the suspect is?
These questions were spinning quickly in Mu Sen's mind, but on the surface, he didn't want to directly disobey the village chief's intentions, so he only smiled and said to the village chief: "Okay, then I know." ”
The village chief asked very incomprehensibly: "What does it have to do with those pear trees?" If we are not allowed to be feudal and superstitious, you will never think that the pear tree eats people, right? ”
The village chief's unintentional words spread throughout Liyuan Village within half a day. (To be continued.) )
