Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Strange Gate Tests the Thief
"Xiao Leng." Director Zhang whispered, "Why do I feel that all these villagers are suspicious?" β¦β
The director of the police station in a mountainous county like this has never handled any major cases at all, and lacks experience. It looked decent before, but when I saw that the villagers were all gathered in front of the temple, I thought of coming to the village to find the village chief of Nagushui, but at this moment I showed my face.
"Uncle Zhang." I smiled wryly, "Who would dare to look up if you stared at others like that?" β
"What?" Director Zhang scratched his head, "What's wrong with me?" β
"You look at people's expressions, just like people who have been hungry for several days and suddenly see something delicious, who is not afraid?"
"Is that so? β¦β
At this time, another villager came on the opposite side, carrying a green onion in his hand.
"Fifth grandfather," the man said to the old man.
The old man snorted.
Director Zhang was about to stare at the man again, but he may suddenly think of my words, and straightened his waist with a dry cough. Then, like a thief, he looked at the man. Miss Bai and I glanced at each other, and both of us made expressions of wanting to cry at the same time.
When I came to the temple again, I was both excited and a little apprehensive. I listened to him at the old man's house for most of the day, and it was already dusk. The temple was windowless, black, and a little eerie. I can't help but think of the cemetery we passed by when we came to this village earlier, and it seems that the bodies of all those buried in that cemetery had been laid in this temple for seven days.
There is a small sacrificial table in each of the four corners of the temple, and incense burners are placed on the table. My gaze fell on the empty bed in the middle of the temple where the corpses were parked. This four-sided worship method shows that the object to be worshiped is located in the middle of the temple.
Sure enough, the old man ordered us to move the bed boards. Director Zhang squatted down and pushed hard, pushing the bed board aside. I looked over and saw a blue brick on the ground, which was inlaid there.
Director Zhang took out the knife he was carrying, and it took a lot of effort to warp the brick up, revealing a round hole. We all held our breath and watched intently as Director Zhang put his arm into the hole.
"How... What do you think? The old man asked.
"There's nothing in there..."Director Zhang pulled out his arm.
"It's... Thisβ" the old man shuddered, "only the people of our village know the secret of this thing in this temple, and those little rabbit cubs have sworn in front of their ancestors, and no one dares to tell it to outsiders." That bastard stole that tooth, and I'm going to break his leg! β
"Grandpa, don't be angry, listen to me!" I took a deep breath, "I think the person who stole the tooth and the person who stole the body of Big Stone Daddy should be the same person." Obviously, it was someone inside your village who did it. So you still have to think about it, has anyone taken the key to this temple from your hand. β
The old man said that he only had a key, and he carried it with him when he ate and slept, even if he wanted to open the temple door, he would stare at it with his own eyes. This is strange, the lock of the temple door does not have any traces of human prie, could it be that the person can penetrate the wall? Even if that person can pass through walls, dead bodies can't go through walls... There is only one possibility, someone steals the key while the old man is sleeping, and then returns it without knowing it.
Back at the old man's house, Director Zhang sat down on the kang with a grin, saying that he had been busy with his grandmother's for most of the day, so he would fill his stomach first, and then take out the food in the bag and eat it. The old man couldn't digest the food, so he didn't eat it, and when he said that someone would bring him food.
It was getting dark outside, and while we were eating, we were discussing our next move, and the two angry policemen had few days left to live, and they had to do everything they could to find the evil evil who had harmed them.
While eating, a man pushed the door and walked in, but it was the big stone, and he held two bowls buckled together, saying that he was bringing food to the old man.
After the big rock was gone, I helped the old man up. The old man stared blankly at the bowl, and suddenly said, "I remember!" β
The old man said that on the day of Dashi's father's death, he arranged for the body to be carried into the temple in the morning, and in the afternoon he was sick with back pain, and he screamed in bed until evening, and fell asleep in a daze. After sleeping for about an hour, the old man woke up and saw a bowl of rice on the table.
"I used to sleep with the door shut." The old man said, "I had too much back pain that day, so I didn't have a top." β
I said in my heart that if someone took the key while the old man was sleeping, ran to open the temple door, and then returned it, it would only take ten minutes at most.
"Do you know who the person who brought you food?" I asked.
"Several babies in the village took turns to bring me food, one for a day, but on the day Shi Wazi's father died, I ate lunch at his house, who sent the dinner... I'll do the math... Today's meal was delivered by Shi Wazi, so yesterday..."The old man snapped his fingers, "Oh, I know, that day's meal should be sent by Qiang Wazi!" β
Director Zhang'Teng' jumped off the kang all of a sudden, "This kid is suspicious, which household is his family?" I'll go take a look. β
"Don't rush to his house to see it yet." I waved my hand, "I'll break the game to see if he stole the key." β
Hearing me say this, Director Zhang couldn't help but be stunned, "Can this be calculated?" β
"It should be." I asked the old man, "Grandpa, think about it, when you went to bed that day." β
The old man thought for a moment and told me that it was not yet dark when he first went to sleep, and it was already dark when he woke up, and it was probably only more than an hour from falling asleep to waking up. According to what the old man said, I roughly calculated that the time when the 'strong baby' brought him food was about between six and seven o'clock in the evening.
I took out the things I used to start and played a round on the ground according to that time. The old man asked Miss Bai to help him sit up, and several people stared at the game I started with wide eyes.
Judging from the situation, the old man's house was indeed robbed that day, because Shi Gan fell into the palace and took Xuanwu, but from the situation point of view, the old man's house did not lose anything, just in response to the old man's key was stolen, and it was returned later... I felt a burst of excitement in my heart, and my palms were slightly sweaty.
According to the situation in the Xuanwu Palace, the characteristics of the thief can be analyzed, the age is about thirty to forty years old, the figure is not high, the appearance belongs to the middle and lower class, and there is a birthmark on the left cheek. Looking at the relationship between the thief and the old man, Rigan represents the old man, falling on the inner plate, and Xuanwu is also in the inner plate, indicating that the thief belongs to the 'insider' and has a kinship with the old man.
I let out a long 'exhale' and looked up.
"What's going on?" Director Zhang stared at the two of them and couldn't wait to ask.
I didn't answer him, but said to the old man, "Grandpa, let me ask you, is that 'strong baby' in his thirties, not tall, and has a birthmark on his left cheek?" β
The old man was already stunned, bowed his waist, and was stunned for a long time before he spit out a word, "Yes..."
I nodded and said, "That's right, the key is what he took while you were asleep." I pointed to the game and showed the old man the situation I had broken.
"Grandpa, look, the day stem represents you, and there is a Tianrui disease star in the palace, which means that you are not feeling well that day, so you gave this thief a chance... Hey, no..."
The old man's face became more and more ugly the more he listened, and after listening to me say the word 'no', the love that was about to explode was pressed back.
"What's wrong?" The old man said, "Doll, you can say whatever you have." β
"There is a dark dry geng in the sunset palace..."
"What do you mean?" The old man said.
I shook my head and asked the old man, "Grandpa, what year were you born?" β
The old man was stunned, and told me, I pinched my fingers and calculated the old man's life, only to see that his life was five elements of wood, and Geng was gold, and Jin Kemu.
"That's not right..."
"What the hell is wrong?" Director Zhang grinned, "I said Xiao Leng, can you be happy, Uncle Zhang and I are in a hurry." β
I turned a deaf ear and asked the old man, "Grandpa, what time did you start to have back pain that day?" β
The old man thought about it for a while, and said that not long after returning from eating at the stone baby's house, his back began to hurt. I did the math, and it was about one or two o'clock in the afternoon. Based on this time, I started the game again.
