When we went to Sun Xiang's house, many villagers also went to Sun Xiang's house, and after questioning, they learned that Sun Xiang was about to do a ritual. We looked at each other a few times and followed the villagers to Sun Xiang's house. It was already completely dark, and it was not the first time I had walked on the village road at night, but unlike before, the lights and candles of every house illuminated the village path.

When we came to Sun Xiang's house, the ritual had already begun, and Sun Xiang was reciting a message on the stage, saying that he had solved the grievances in the mass grave for the village, and had avenged his wife and daughter, and that his wish had been fulfilled and that he was ready to leave the village tomorrow. The master in the mouth of the villagers wanted to leave, and they were naturally reluctant to keep it.

Sun Xiang sighed and said that this was the last time to do Dharma for everyone, and to ask for peace for everyone. Afterwards, Sun Xiang began his rituals, and he did it so seriously that he didn't notice us behind the crowd at all.

"Is Sun Xiang really the murderer?" Ma Tao asked me again, and through the inquiry of each family, Ma Tao understood a little, but he was still in the clouds, and he didn't know how Sun Xiang had the time to commit the crime.

"Well, let's go check it out first." I said. We let the three detectives continue to watch Sun Xiang, and we sneaked around the crowd to Sun Xiang's house, but Sun Xiang didn't find out. I took Ma Tao to the third floor of Sun Xiang's house, Sun Xiang's house had no electric lights, so everyone had a hard time walking.

Sun Xiang's door was locked, and I asked Ma Tao if he had brought a search warrant, and Ma Tao said that he had already withstood the pressure, and it would not be difficult to open a search warrant again. When I called, I told him that there was something wrong with Sun Xiang, so he had prepared in advance, he took out the search warrant of Sun Xiang's house from his arms, pasted it on the wall, and then he personally knocked the door open.

The situation was urgent, and everyone couldn't care about it so much, so they immediately poured into Sun Xiang's room. The door was easily slammed open, and the noise of the rituals downstairs was so loud that no one could hear what we were doing here. When I entered the room with a flashlight and saw an empty room with only one bed, my first impression was that it was a large room.

"Is there anything wrong with the room?" Ma Tao looked at it for a long time and didn't find a problem.

"That wall, it's too out." I said to Ma Tao.

Ma Tao observed for a while, and finally realized that something was wrong, he walked to the wall, knocked the bricks on it, and listened with his ears sideways. His detectives also carefully searched for each brick, but found nothing unusual. I frowned and pondered for a long time, and a criminal policeman asked Ma Tao if he wanted to smash this wall.

"No, move the bed away." I said. I noticed that the bottom of the bed was hollowed out, but the wooden board at the head of the bed blocked that part of the wall.

Following my advice, several detectives stood around the wall and tried to move the bed together, but they used too much force and almost fell. A criminal police officer cursed, saying that the bed didn't look so light. As soon as I moved the bed, I found a large hole in the wall, and it was pitch black.

As I expected, Sun Xiang's room really found a dark grid, and the bold criminal policeman got into it with a flashlight. The cave is square, and it seems that the entrance of the hole was not sealed when the wall was built, and only one person could enter and exit. We waited outside for a while, and the detective inside poked out his head and said there was nothing inside.

The space of the dark compartment is not very large, and after the criminal police came out, they guarded it with everyone outside. In order to investigate the case, we were not afraid of getting dirty, so we squatted down and got into the hole. As soon as we entered the dark compartment, we smelled a sour smell, which was very stuffy, a meter wide and about five square meters in size.

The flashlight shook around, and the floor was fairly clean, but I still found a few grains of rice in the corner, which should have been cleaned, but because it was too stuffy, the sour smell of the food had not completely dissipated. I searched the wall for a while, and finally found a few places where there were no bricks, which should be used for ventilation.

In order not to destroy the scene, Ma Tao and I immediately retreated, and I told Ma Tao that this was also one of the scenes of the crime process, and asked him to wait for the expert to arrive and immediately investigate the scene. Walking out of Sun Xiang's room, Ma Tao noticed the door covered with talismans, he felt strange and wanted to go in and have a look.

"We don't have to go in and see it, it's just a place to interfere with our thinking. Let's go down and expose Sun Xiang and then come up and see that room. After I finished speaking to Ma Tao, I took Xu Yi's hand and walked slowly.

When he walked to the first floor, the ritual was still in full swing, and Sun Xiang was wearing a robe and holding a peachwood sword in his hand, pretending to walk around the stage. Ma Tao glanced at me, and after getting my consent, he let out an angry roar and interrupted Sun Xiang's ceremony.

Sun Xiang stood on the stage and frowned when he saw us coming out of his house.

The villagers were very upset and shouted vigorously, blaming us for interrupting Sun Xiang's ritual.

Ma Tao was not polite to the villagers, took out his documents and shouted: "The police handle the case, except for Sun Xiang, everyone else retreats!" After Ma Tao finished speaking, two criminal policemen set up a cordon around the platform, and the villagers were stopped outside the cordon. We all climbed onto the stage, Sun Xiang didn't say a word, just kept staring at Xu Yi beside me.

With the same look in his eyes again, Xu Yi took a step back, a little scared.

"Sun Xiang! The police now suspect that you have something to do with Qian Er's death, please cooperate with the investigation and go back to the police station with us! Ma Tao shouted to Sun Xiang.

At this time, several police cars drove into the village, and the criminal police officer who got out of the car handed a report to Ma Tao, who flipped it a few times at will and handed it to me. This report is the autopsy report of two bodies in the mass grave, the cause of death of the two bodies has been preliminarily determined, there are no bleeding wounds on their bodies, but the medical examiner has also ruled out the possibility of suffocation.

The autopsy report concluded that the deceased was likely to have died of illness.

As for the time of death, the time of death of the corpse that had not yet decomposed was within thirty-six hours, and the time of death of the other decomposing corpse, the preliminary date given by the medical examiner, was the day before Qian Er's death, that is, the night we first arrived in this village.

In addition, the medical examiner also conducted an inquest on the physical condition of the two corpses, and the autopsy report stated that the eyes of the two deceased had been gouged out early, and according to the degree of wound healing, at least six months or more, and strangulation marks were found on the hands, feet, arms, and waist of the two corpses, and the traces were obvious, and it was obvious that they had been tied with ropes for a long time.

In the process of inquest of the body, the forensic doctor also found that the vocal cords of the deceased were seriously damaged, suspected of being injured by some kind of chemical drug, but the specific results still need to be further dissected by the body in whole or in part.

Regarding the identity of the deceased, the police were investigating, and I took the photo of the body that was not decomposed, walked up to a villager and asked him if he knew this person. Suddenly, many villagers gathered around, and under the flashlight, the corpse in the photo looked very scary, and many villagers were frightened.

Finally, a villager recognized it, he looked at Sun Xiang in a panic, and said, "Master, this seems to be your daughter!" ”

This villager is the same villager who vacated the room for Sun Xiang's family a year ago, and the people in the village were very impressed by the people from the outside village, and he still recognized it after a long time.

Ma Tao immediately changed his words: "Sun Xiang, the police suspect that you have something to do with the two murders, give up resistance and go back to the police station with us." ”

After Ma Tao's words were finished, a few criminal policemen wanted to go over to arrest people, but the villagers suddenly rioted, and everyone said that Sun Xiang could not kill people and did not let us arrest people. Seeing the emotions of the villagers, a cold sweat broke out on Ma Tao's forehead.

"Forget it, here it is, the truth doesn't change because of the location, and it can't be hidden forever. Sun Xiang, I suspect that you imprisoned your wife and daughter, gouged out your eyes to kill people, and killed Qian Er, blaming Jiang Jun, do you admit it? I asked.

Sun Xiang didn't say a word, just shook his head, and the villagers shouted for support because of his simple action.

"No matter how strict the crime is, it will leave clues, and then peel back the cocoon, and there is nothing that cannot be detected." After I answered Sun Xiang's sentence, I jumped off the stage and entered his house, no one knew what I was doing, and then I walked out with the jar of medicinal wine from Sun Xiang's house in my hand.

In front of everyone, I smashed the jar, and under the flashlight, four unformed eyeballs that had long since rotted fell to the ground......
