Chapter 319: Sticking to the Word (2)
The bottle was broken, Jiang Jun was a little annoyed, and he shouted badly, he didn't know how to explain to the camel, the camel had told us not to touch the ashes bottle before. In the eyes of the camel, this bottle is used to save lives. Jiang Jun was about to squat down and clean up, when there was a sudden commotion outside.
Many villagers shouted in horror, and the three of us stepped out of the threshold cleanly, only to see several villagers running forward in a hurry, and the place where they ran was the Xiao family's compound. We followed, only to see that there were already many people gathered at the gate of the Xiao family's compound, and everyone was tiptoeing and looking up.
After questioning, the villagers told us that someone had died!
We cut through the crowd. I saw a few young and strong villagers inside. The old Chinese medicine doctor is also in it. The position where they were standing was by the strange well of the Xiao family. We also hurried in, and the old Chinese medicine doctor saw us and nodded at us, and we had just met at noon. When it was almost dark, we met again, but this time, it was a murder.
The villager standing by the well was holding a very thick hemp rope in his hand, and with the help of the flashlight in the villager's hand, I finally saw the bottom of the well that I could not see during the day. The well was indeed dry, and at the bottom of it stood a villager who was untying the hemp rope that had been tied to him.
Take a closer look. At the feet of the villagers lay a corpse and several large stones, the upper part of which was crushed by the large stones. The villagers removed the large stone and tied hemp rope to the body. Subsequently, the villagers standing on the well slowly pulled the body up.
As the corpse approached. It became clearer and clearer that the body was hanging immediately, face down, his head and body were bleeding from the rocks. Seeing the bulging back of the corpse, I could already guess who the dead person was. After the body was brought up and laid down, everyone could see the face of the corpse: a camel.
Compared to all the cases I have encountered before, the camel's death was not tragic or bloody. He had a lot of blood on his body, but none of his organs were badly damaged. The wood is long and has scratches.
The villagers at the scene panicked, and many villagers shouted that a curse had happened. At this time, I identified myself, told everyone not to touch the body, and exited the scene of the crime. With the help of the old Chinese medicine doctor, the villagers became more cooperative.
Out of the Xiao family's compound, I asked the old Chinese medicine doctor the fastest way to get out of the village, and the old Chinese medicine doctor said that he had an old-fashioned bicycle at home, but the mountain road was bumpy, and it was more dangerous to ride. There was no signal in the village, so Jiang Jun immediately borrowed the bicycle from the old Chinese medicine doctor and went out of the village to find the police.
I thought about it carefully, and after finding the police, Jiang Jun would be able to follow the police car back quickly, so I was not in a hurry to go to the scene to inspect the scene, so as not to make the clues at the scene have no legal effect. I saw Da Zhuang and the old god stick in the crowd.
Da Zhuang stood at the back of the crowd, staring coldly at the gate of the Xiao family's compound, and the villagers were afraid of him, so they stood far away from him. As for the old god stick, it seems that he was invited, and the villagers surrounded the old god stick, as if he was saying something to the villagers, and when he got closer, the old god stick was really telling everyone about the curse again.
When the old god saw me coming, he smiled and said, "Little baby, why don't you go out of the village?" ”
I looked into the eyes of the old god stick and tried to see through his thoughts: "Old man, the police will arrive soon, please don't spread this kind of talk again." ”
The old god looked at Shen Nuo: "Little girl, what I told you, is it true?" ”
Shen Nuo was stunned for a moment, the old god stick was talking about the things we encountered dogs and various people after we went out of his house. Seeing that Shen Nuo couldn't answer, the old god stick looked at me again: "This camel died of a curse, if my guess is right, his family's ashes bottle was broken, right?" ”
We were even more surprised in our hearts, not long after Jiang Jun broke the camel's ashes bottle, the old god stick actually knew. I calmed down and retorted to the old god. First of all, judging from the time of the camel's death, although he only glanced at the corpse a few times, the corpse was obviously dead for some time, and the bottle had just been broken. Secondly, on the surface, the cause of the camel's death should be that he was stoned to death by multiple stones, and the blood stains on his body were all smashed out, unlike those who died before, bleeding from the seven orifices.
The old god stick just smiled, and he also retorted to me, saying that curses are very magical, and some things are predestined, so the sequence of time and the way of death are not a problem at all.
Except for the old Chinese medicine doctor, all the villagers are inclined to the old god stick's statement, for fear of arousing public anger, I will not argue with you for the time being, but am going to ask about the situation at the scene first. But at this time, Jiang Jun suddenly came back on an old-fashioned bicycle, Jiang Jun was sweating profusely, and after getting off the car, he told me that the roads on both sides of the village were blocked.
I was shocked and quickly asked what was going on.
Jiang Jun rode his bicycle out of the village, but after a few minutes of riding, he could not move forward, because the mountain had collapsed and the narrow mountain road was blocked. Jiang Jun tried to climb up, but the soil and trees were soft, and he was afraid of falling down the cliff on the side of the mountain road, so he did not dare to climb rashly.
He rode again in the direction of the other end of the village, but the same thing happened there. One landslide could have been a natural disaster, but both places were blocked, which was clearly a man-made disaster. Jiang Jun immediately thought that someone might be playing a ghost, so he rushed back.
There was no signal in the whole village, and for a while, we couldn't get out of the village, and it seemed impossible to call the police. I thought about it carefully for a while, and according to Jiang Jun's description, even if many villagers were dispatched, it would probably take two days to clear the road while ensuring everyone's safety.
By the time the police arrived, many of the traces might have been lost.
"Is there anyone willing to help me clear the way with me?" Jiang Jun asked loudly.
The road is everyone's, and everyone always has to go out of the village, so a few men soon responded. It was already dark, and in order not to be in danger, the villagers decided to do it again at dawn the next day, and I looked at the old god stick and Da Zhuang, their expressions were different. To be honest, what I suspect the most is these two people, the mountain road was blocked, it is not accidental, and someone died at this time, so the purpose of that person is probably to prevent us from calling the police.
"Old gentleman, doctor." I said to these two people: "The three of us used to be criminal police or have a relationship with the police, and there was a murder in the village, so I want to investigate, I don't know if you can cooperate." ”
In the village, the prestige of the old Chinese medicine doctor is high, and everyone believes in the old god stick, so if the two of them agree, the villagers will cooperate. I was not afraid of the old Chinese medicine doctor's objection, he quickly agreed, and called on everyone to cooperate with the investigation, and then looked at the old god stick, I originally thought that the old god stick would object, but I didn't expect him to quickly nod and agree.
He laughed: "Check it, check it, it's okay to die." ”
Without further ado, Shen Nuo and I immediately began to investigate. I asked who was the first to find the body, and several people raised their hands. When these villagers passed by the Xiao family's compound, they found that the door of the courtyard was not closed, and they saw Xiao Lao through the door. I saw that Xiao Lao was looking at something in the well.
The villagers said this, I remembered that when we came out of the Xiao family compound, Xiao Lao was also looking at the bottom of the well, could it be that the camel had fallen into the well at that time, and Xiao Lao was looking at the corpse?
I immediately denied my presumption that it was cloudy, and the bottom of the well was so dark that we couldn't see anything at the bottom of the well.
The villagers continued to tell us that looking at the posture, Xiao Lao was about to fall, and at that time, Da Zhuang came out of the mansion and pulled Xiao Lao into the house vigorously, as if he did not let Xiao Lao go to the well to see. Several villagers said the same thing, which made everyone look at Da Zhuang because he was suspicious.
I walked to Da Zhuang's side: "Why don't you let Xiao Lao look at the bottom of the well?" ”
Da Zhuang's eyes were scattered, and he replied solemnly: "I'm afraid that he will fall." ”
It was already dark, and the lighting of the scene was completely dependent on the flashlights in the hands of the villagers. I changed my words and changed to a very sharp question: "More than ten years ago, you sent Xiao Yingfeng out of the village?" ”
Da Zhuang's pupils gathered light, he hesitated for a while, and looked at the old Chinese medicine doctor: "It was the old Chinese medicine doctor who used an ox cart to pull Miss Feng out of the village." ”
At this time, the three of them completely insisted on their own words: the old god stick said that Da Zhuang pulled Xiao Yingfeng out of the village, the old Chinese medicine doctor said that it was the old god stick, and Da Zhuang said that it was the old Chinese medicine doctor......
