When several people were panicking, they didn't expect a piercing scream to come from their ears, and then there was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"You... Why are you in my house? Li Bing and the others were surprised when they heard this, and when they followed the sound, it turned out that it was Wang Shouyi sitting paralyzed underground.

The policeman Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Wang Shouyi, you kid is pretending to be a ghost and wants to scare us to death?" ”

Wang Shouyi also saw a few people in front of him clearly through the faint light at this time, and he said hatefully: "You still blame me? You suddenly appeared in my house and almost scared me to death. ”

Wang Ming asked with a straight face: "Wang Shouyi, you give me an honest explanation, where did you go just now?" How did it suddenly come out of nowhere? ”

Wang Shouyi was stunned and said, "What? Can't I stay in my own home? What have I done? ”

The assistant policeman shouted: "Wang Shouyi, don't be fierce about you, you kid, we suspect that your father's old Wang Tou was killed by him, you have a major suspicion, and you still don't answer the question honestly?" ”

Wang Shouyi was shocked, and saw that the two assistant policemen had blocked his way one after the other. He hurriedly said: "It's none of my business, my father really died unexpectedly." I was looking for something in the backyard cellar just now. When I came out, I had just turned on the flashlight and came into the house, and suddenly I saw so many people under the lights, I thought it was haunted, and it almost scared me to death. ”

Li Binghu asked suspiciously: "Wang Shouyi, you said you were in the cellar in the afternoon, why are you in the cellar at night?" That doesn't seem normal, does it? ”

Wang Shouyi hurriedly pleaded: "Do you think I want to be in the cellar?" It's not that our family is poor, no, we haven't even scraped together the money for my father's coffin. Although the Lantern Festival has passed, the weather is still unbearable. It's a mountainous area, but it's not as heated as the city, and I can't stand the cold, so I hide in the cellar to keep warm. ”

Wang Ming looked Wang Shouyi up and down, he really looked pitiful, on such a cold day, he was thinly dressed.

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Wang Shouyi, this is understandable. But tell me, how did your father, the old king, die? Why are there scars on the eye sockets? ”

Wang Shouyi sighed and said, "Comrade policeman, I didn't go home that day. My father was alone at home, probably because he was too drunk, and when he went to the backyard to be convenient, he unfortunately hit the scaffolding and injured his eyes and ears. It is estimated that his old man fainted in pain and was frozen to death, which is really sad. ”

Wang Shouyi said, lifted the corpse cloth on his father's old Wang's face, pointed to his ear and said, "I don't believe you, that half of the ear is scratched like this. Poor old father, who died so miserably. ”

Wang Shouyi cried as he spoke, and when everyone saw him like this, they immediately lost most of their impression of Wang Shouyi's ferocity, and they all began to sympathize with him.

Wang Ming was not very scared at this time, he carefully looked at the wound of the old king, and thought: "These two wounds don't seem to be fatal wounds, it's just that you should call the criminal police team to take a look." ”

Half an hour later, several policemen from the county criminal police team drove two police cars to the bottom of the hill, and because the car had no way to go, they had to walk to the door of Lao Wangtou's house.

After a busy time, the medical examiner reported that the autopsy was unusual, and that the old man had no injuries on his body except for injuries to his eyes and ears. The two wounds were not fatal, and the body showed no signs of poisoning, and it was indeed frozen to death.

Shi Liya nervously told the criminal police that the corpse of the old king had just been defrauded. The criminal policemen stared at Shi Liya suspiciously, and when Wang Ming saw this, he also hurriedly testified, saying that everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

After listening to Wang Ming's description, the forensic doctor smiled faintly and said disdainfully: "This is not a corpse, it is a situation that occurs after a person dies, some functions of the body are not completely dead, and after being stimulated by the outside world or himself." ”

When the policeman Wang Ming heard about it, he suddenly became a lot more courageous, and scolded Wang Shouyi and said: "Wang Shouyi, your father is dead, and you didn't report it to the town." By the way, I advise you not to think about what coffin to buy for the old king, and respond to the call of the country to cremate the old king's head and not allow burial. ”

Wang Shouyi was furious when he heard this, and quarreled with Wang Ming. A deputy captain of the criminal police who led the team coldly stopped the two of them and said, "The funeral matter is not our responsibility." But Wang Shouyi, you have to understand that illegal burials are subject to punishment. You have to bury the old king's head for a few days, we can't control this, but we will never allow it to be buried. ”

Wang Shouyi didn't dare to speak out again, and a team of policemen left, and Li Bing and the others also left the old Wangtou's house.

When the five of them were discussing in the small hotel, Zhao Wan'er suddenly said: "No, I don't think this Wang Shouyi looks like a good person, with a sideways face." Didn't Brother Zhang also say it? There was still a layer of death on his face. I suspect there's something odd about this. ”

Li Bing said: "Wan'er, the police and forensic doctors have investigated, and there is nothing suspicious." ”

Zhao Wan'er shook her head and said, "No, didn't you see him keep drilling into the cellar?" Do you really believe he's here for warmth? I see what secret is hidden in that cellar. ”

Li Bing said puzzledly: "Wan'er, think about it, if there is any ulterior secret hidden in his cellar, he will tell us that there are still policemen, did he come out of the cellar?" Isn't he afraid that the police will search the cellar? ”

Zhao Wan'er couldn't help but nod, but she always felt that Wang Shouyi and the cellar were very suspicious.

Qian Yiduo, who rarely spoke, suddenly said: "Miss Zhao's suspicions are not unreasonable. ”

Several people were surprised, and Zhang Yuanshan asked impatiently: "Brother Qian, why do you say that?" Did you find anything? ”

Qian Yiduo said slowly: "In my opinion, this dead old king is not an ordinary honest mountain man. ”

"Why?" Zhang Yuanshan was even more surprised.

Qian Yiduo said: "I saw the old king's hand, with a thick layer of calluses on his fingers, which is not like the calluses left by ordinary mountain people cutting wood and doing work, but should be the marks left by tomb robbers." If you don't believe me, look at my hands, they are basically the same as the old king's head. ”

Qian Yiduo stretched out his two hands, and several people looked at them carefully, and sure enough, they felt that the position of the calluses left by the peasants in their impressions was not quite the same.

Qian Yiduo continued: "I found something in the corner of the old Wangtou's house, and I quietly stuffed it into my pocket, you see, what is this?" ”

Qian Yiduo took out a small black iron block with a curved hook from his pocket, and the four of them looked at it for a while, and they all shook their heads, they had never seen this thing.

Qian Yiduo smiled, didn't say a word, turned around and took out something from his closet and put it in front of everyone.

Li Bing looked at it for a while and exclaimed: "I understand, the iron block of the old Wangtou's house is almost exactly the same as the elbow on the Luoyang shovel used by Brother Qian to rob the tomb." ”

Qian Yiduo said: "Brother Li Bing is right. Although we used a military shovel in Yan's tomb last time, after all, it was used by sappers in the army, not for tomb robbery. This time, I brought my own Luoyang shovel, a semi-circular elbow that not only digs up the soil, but even better is that it can dig a round hole in an almost vertical way. In this way, without damaging the surrounding environment, it is possible to analyze the soil quality of the excavated layer from the excavated soil and determine whether there are ancient tombs underground. ”

Qian Yiduo said a little proudly: "From these two points, I can see that Lao Wang was a master of tomb robbing during his lifetime. A person like him should have dug up valuable cultural relics, and he would never have lived such a miserable life. When I heard Miss Zhao talk about his cellar just now, I guessed that maybe the old king was burying the cultural relics he dug up in the cellar. ”

Li Bing said thoughtfully: "From this point of view, Wang Shouyi is in the cellar, and he must be looking for the cultural relics buried by the old Wang Shou before his death." But he would say it so openly that he proved that he had gained nothing. Could it be that this old king is really a master, with more eyes than others, and has set up two cellars, one bright and one dark? ”

A few people thought about it for a while, and they all felt that it was not unreasonable.

Qian Yiduo continued: "You didn't look carefully at that Wang Shouyi, in my opinion, he is also a tomb robber. But grave robbers don't usually do it together as a father and son. Therefore, it is very likely that Wang Shouyi, who also robbed the tomb, discovered a secret that the old king had hidden for a long time and coveted the treasure. ”

Zhao Wan'er was terrified when she heard this: "The hearts of people in this world are really more terrible than ghosts. If Brother Qian's conjecture is true, it will definitely fulfill what Brother Zhang said, the unjust soul of the old king will come back to take revenge on the night of the first seven souls. Then, Wang Shouyi, who has already shown his dead face, will also kill himself unjustly. ”
