"Haunted?" Shen Cheng asked rhetorically, his face did not have a trace of surprise, but was a little excited: "I love to solve this kind of case, it is interesting to solve, what about you, Professor Li." ”

Shen Cheng cast a glance at me, I smiled and did not answer.

The detective continued to tell us about the construction site. The site was originally a cemetery, but all the graves were removed due to construction needs, and construction began about three months ago. Due to the rain in Chongqing, the construction was forced to be interrupted several times, the criminal police said, we looked around, and sure enough, the construction site was overgrown with weeds, those weeds that had not been cleared were full of dewdrops, and even a lot of the sand used in the construction was damp.

From the day of construction, many workers claimed that they had seen unclean things during their night shifts. At first, it was only one or two people who saw it, but as the news spread, more and more people saw the so-called ghosts on the construction site. The construction party even invited a Taoist priest to do it, and after the ceremony was over, everyone was relieved for two days.

But later, another worker saw something unclean when he went to the grass for convenience, and that night, the worker asked to stop the construction, and the construction party could not withstand the pressure, so the construction was stopped, and this stop was several days.

"These are all things I called to contact the person in charge of the construction party, and he told me, I have already informed him, he is rushing here, and he will be there in a while." The detective said this to us.

While the criminal police were narrating to us, the forensic doctor who followed the police had already examined the body on the spot. Shen Cheng and I put on medical gloves at the same time and squatted next to the corpse. Shen Cheng and I were not in a hurry, but waited for the preliminary forensic examination before we started at the same time.

The corpse was a man, his clothes were slightly plain, and he did not appear to be injured except for his head, which made his smashed head and body stand in stark contrast, and in this contrast, his head was even more terrifying.

The corpse's head was smashed in half, brains and blood flowed, and Sen Sen's whitish skull could be seen in the split head. His face had been sunken in the smash, two eyeballs had popped out of their sockets and fallen into the ground with brains and blood, the eyeballs were incomplete and had been half smashed, and the yellow pus-like liquid of the eyeballs wrapped around the broken eyeballs, stuck in the slimy brain fluid.

Many of the corpse's teeth in its mouth had fallen out, and many had sunk into unrecognizable muscles due to the tremendous pressure. The skin on the corpse's face has fallen off, and many of the exposed facial bones have been shattered, and the overall feeling is only one word: miserable.

The corpse was surrounded by a patch of weeds and a lot of stones used in construction, and Shen Cheng and I stood up and looked at a large stone not far from the corpse. The stone is about the size of four basketballs and has an irregular shape with many sharp corners on it. That was supposed to be the cause of the deceased's death, because the big stone was covered with blood.

Almost at the same time, Shen Cheng and I looked up, and the body was lying not far in front of a building, which has more than a dozen floors, and the criminal police told us that although the neighborhood is remote, the government is preparing to develop this area, so the construction of this site is to build the first shopping mall in this place.

There were several residential houses near the construction site, and before Shen Cheng and I arrived, the criminal police had already sent someone to inquire. The residents have been called outside the construction site, and the criminal police are still questioning the scene. Last night, the residents living nearby heard a loud noise, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the residents were watching TV at home.

The loud noise quickly disappeared, and several residents poked their heads out of the windows, thinking that there had been a car accident, but when everyone looked into the street, nothing had happened, so everyone did not pay attention. The next day, someone found the body at the construction site.

The detective pointed to a young girl outside the construction site, who seemed to be just a student, holding a pet dog in her hand.

"She was the one who found the body." The detective said.

"How did you find out?" Shen Cheng asked.

The detective said that she walked her dog outside the construction site during the day today, and the puppy barked a few times at the construction site and rushed in. The girl lived nearby, and she knew the news that the construction site was haunted, but she was very worried when the puppy ran into the construction site, and it was broad daylight, so she dared to run into the factory to find the puppy.

At the same time as she found the puppy, she also found this unrecognizable corpse, the puppy has a very sensitive sense of smell and high alertness, and it rushed in precisely because it found the corpse. The girl screamed in fright, rushed out of the factory with the puppy in her arms, and then called the police.

Shen Cheng and I looked at the female student again, she was being questioned by the criminal police, she was trembling all over her body while holding the puppy, her face was red, and she seemed to be very emotional.

"The time of death must have been around ten o'clock last night." Shen Cheng looked at me and said.

I nodded: "The cause of death is a large stone that fell from the sky." ”

Shen Cheng and I immediately made an inference, and then Shen Cheng and I immediately brought a criminal police officer into the building that had just been outlined, while the others continued to stay at the scene of the body to extract traces and evidence. It is impossible for a stone to fall out of thin air from the sky, and there is only this one building near the corpse, so the big stone must have fallen from this building.

So far, we can't say for sure if this was an accident or a homicide, but rumors that the site is haunted give me a smell of homicide. In many unsolved cases, in order to interfere with the police's handling of the case, the murderer will deliberately arrange the murder scene as a scene full of supernatural atmosphere.

From the outside, the weight of the stone was heavy, but if it was landed from a low place, it would not smash a person's brain, and the only possibility was that the boulder had fallen from a high altitude. Shen Cheng and I didn't say a word, and we all climbed to the top floor of the building.

The construction has not been long ago, so the building has only been built into an empty shell, and temporary steps have been erected in the building for workers to go up and down, and Shen Cheng and I, along with another criminal policeman, officially climbed to the top floor on the temporary steps. There were no handrails on the steps, and my heart instinctively tightened as the height increased.

Looking down, the ground was far away from us, and I had the feeling that I was going to be trapped.

Starting from the first floor, each layer is piled up with a lot of sand, cement, and large stones, which are all used for construction. The building has not yet had windows, there are two thick concrete walls on the left and right, and our front and back are empty and have not yet been sealed. We could see the mountains and the scattered little houses in the distance.

Shen Cheng strode to the edge of the floor, his feet almost stepping into the air, but at the critical position, he stopped. He was very bold, so high, there were no handrails, no guardrails, but he still walked at a faster pace. Standing on the edge, he looked down.

I also followed Shen Cheng to the right position, and when I looked down, the corpse and many criminal police officers had become very small.

Shen Cheng glanced down casually, observed the ground again, left the top floor directly, and stood in place with the criminal policeman who came up, and he asked me why Shen Cheng didn't survey the scene carefully.

I thought for a moment: "You don't have to follow us, you go to the first floor to find the people from the identification department, start from the top floor, and extract traces layer by layer." ”

The detective hesitated for a while, but did as I said. I didn't linger much on the top floor, I went to the next floor.

It is not easy to move a large stone to the top floor, the top layer is only cement and sand, and there are no big stones around. At such a high height, it is difficult to control the accuracy when the stone falls, and if it is a murder, the top floor is not the best place to commit the crime.

In addition, there are no traces of stone friction on the edge of the floor on the top floor, and if someone really deliberately murdered someone, the stone is more likely to be pushed down, which is bound to leave traces of friction on the floor. Of course, stones can also be thrown down, but the weight of a stone the size of four basketballs can be imagined, and it is unlikely that one person will lift and throw it.

If there are more than one person, the accuracy will be reduced even more due to the uneven force, unless these people have been tried and cooperated many times.
