The jar of medicinal liquor shattered, and a reddish liquid of medicinal liquor slowly flowed down the table, and under multiple beams of light, the liquid was easily reminiscent of crimson blood. Many herbs fell out of the broken jar of medicinal wine, and many villagers were still squinting at the four strange things in the herbs, they didn't know what they were.

Only those of us standing on the platform could see it most clearly, and although it was rotten and swollen, it was still vaguely recognizable, it was the eyeballs of four people. Ma Tao stared at the medicinal wine and herbs sprinkled all over the ground in a daze, and after a long time, he waved his hand for the appraisers to come up to the stage to collect the evidence.

We stood on the stage, and the appraisers also went on the stage one by one, as if they were arranging a gorgeous show. The appraisers were also startled when they saw the four things clearly, and they glanced at Sun Xiang with strange eyes, Sun Xiang was still wearing a robe and holding a peachwood sword in his hand, he had lost his former calmness, his face turned blue, and even the gods and ghosts no longer pretended.

Xu Yi covered his mouth and nose and subconsciously took a step back. According to the autopsy report, Sun Xiang's wife and daughter's eyeballs were taken out, at least six months ago, looking at the swelling degree of these four eyeballs, they were soaked in the medicinal wine for at least a long time, due to the effect of alcohol, the speed of eye decay slowed down, and the strong smell of medicinal wine also overshadowed the rancid smell, even if the jar was opened, no one could smell it.

On the day of catching the snake, Sun Xiang even took out a few bowls of poured medicinal wine for us to drink, fortunately we didn't drink it at the time, and now we are still a little afraid when we think about it, such a thing will go down our stomachs, and after learning the truth, we are afraid that we will vomit our stomachs in disgust. The villagers' emotions were still a little excited, and Ma Tao told the dazed villagers the true face of the four things.

The crowd immediately stirred, everyone talked about it, and many villagers began to ask Sun Xiang what was going on, but the villagers' tone was still very polite, and they still called Sun Xiang a master. Ma Tao was angry, pointed at Sun Xiang and scolded the villagers: "You still don't understand? Your village master gouged out the eyeballs of his wife and children and drank wine! ”

Sun Xiang didn't refute either, the villagers always realized it later, and finally, many villagers bent over and vomited, and they understood at a glance that they had drunk this medicinal wine. Sun Xiang didn't speak until the appraiser extracted the four eyeballs and the ingredients of the medicinal wine from the stage, and Sun Xiang let out a long sigh.

Ma Tao asked Sun Xiangcheng if he didn't admit it, Sun Xiang suddenly laughed, he asked Ma Tao what he wanted to admit, Ma Tao wanted to say, but he found that he couldn't say it. Ma Tao cast me a pleading look, and I took Sun Xiang's words: "Sun Xiang, the death of your wife and daughter has something to do with you, and Qian Er was also killed by you, right?" ”

Sun Xiang unexpectedly returned to his previous calm appearance, and he replied: "Tell me, why?" ”

There were already a few criminal policemen who made a record on the side, and Sun Xiang's answer, which neither admitted nor denied, made all the criminal policemen look at each other, and even the criminal policeman who made the record didn't know how to start for a while.

"There's a dark compartment in your room." I thought about it for a moment and decided to start with the dark grid.

According to the preliminary autopsy report, strangulation marks were found on the hands and feet, arms, waist and other parts of the two corpses, indicating that the deceased had been tied with ropes for a long time, their vocal cords were damaged, and their mouths were stuffed with rags and other things, which was because the murderer did not want them to make a sound.

There is a sour smell of food in the dark grid, and I found rice grains again, which means that someone has eaten or put food in the dark grid. Sun Xiang only placed a bed that blocked the entrance to the dark grid in the room with a dark grid, which was deliberately to make the room look empty and make people ignore the space that the room had become smaller because of the dark grid. Putting so much waste in another room is just to make the room look smaller, Sun Xiang said that the room was prepared to keep his wife and daughter, but just imagine, even if his wife and daughter are really ghosts, how can anyone let his wife and daughter stay in the waste room.

Sun Xiang is very smart, he makes full use of the illusion that the human optic nerve is prone to. He didn't put a thick wall in each room to make each room the same size, so that from the external structure of the room, it could be seen that there were too many rooms, which also increased the chance of detection.

Sun Xiang makes full use of the space, few people can see anything directly, and when the two rooms are compared, even if someone really notices something wrong, they will start with the room that looks crowded.

In addition, Sun Xiang plastered the room with yellow talismans, and we played tricks before we went in, which really made us focus most of our attention on the room without a dark grid. Xu Yi and I were careful, Rao was like this, we still didn't immediately notice anything wrong, fortunately I always cared about that strange feeling, did not give up thinking, and only found out the problem by chance.

There is also a small detail that can make people speculate that Sun Xiang imprisoned people in the dark grid. Sun Xiang will always prepare two more bowls of rice when eating, the villagers and Sun Xiang have been together for a whole year, and they have also discovered this phenomenon, everyone said that it was Sun Xiang to his wife and daughter, Xu Yi and I followed, and found Sun Xiang squatting in front of the door full of yellow charms, which Sun Xiang deliberately did to show us.

This is linked to the rice grains of the dark grid, Sun Xiang prepared two extra bowls of rice every day for his wife and daughter, but he took the dark grid in his room and fed his wife and daughter.

The disappearance of Sun Xiang's wife and daughter has a strong superstitious color, and I have always felt strange, so I asked Wang Xin to check this person for me in the place where Sun Xiang used to live. According to Sun Xiang's neighbors, Sun Xiang was not a fortune teller before, and no one in the neighborhood knew that he could tell fortunes.

A few days before they arrived in the village a year ago, Sun Xiang and his wife had a big argument and threw all the pots and pans out of the house, which attracted onlookers from the neighborhood. According to eyewitnesses, Sun Xiang and his wife had a big fight, and Sun Xiang almost cut his wife with a knife.

Because of this incident, Sun Xiang's daughter who was working outside also rushed back, but the matter did not subside because of her daughter's return, and the family of three quarreled even more. Then suddenly one day, Sun Xiang's family of three left, no one knew where they went, and this trip was a whole year.

Sun Xiang didn't explain what the purpose of bringing two women to this village was, only that after passing through this place, there was a big quarrel, his wife and daughter disappeared, and the two things were connected, and it was easy for people to notice that something was wrong, so I put the suspicion of Sun Xiang's wife and daughter missing on Sun Xiang's body.

Everyone didn't speak, quietly listening to my analysis, Sun Xiang heard this, he smiled, he asked rhetorically: "Just because I had a big quarrel with my wife and daughter, do you suspect that my wife and daughter's disappearance has something to do with me?" ”

I smiled calmly: "All the discovery of truth begins with speculation. ”

From the moment I heard the sound upstairs, I suspected that there were other people in Sun Xiang's house, and after I found out about the secret grid, I speculated that someone was imprisoned or hiding in the dark grid. Thinking about it carefully, there are not many people in the village who have anything to do with Sun Xiang, and there is no one in the village who has heard of anyone missing or behaving strangely, except for Sun Xiang's missing wife and daughter.

A closer look at the villagers reveals that night a year ago was full of loopholes. No one saw Sun Xiang's wife and daughter disappear with their own eyes, this was all Sun Xiang told everyone, he asked everyone to find it for him, and led everyone to the direction of the mass grave, I'm afraid everyone didn't expect that Sun Xiang, who was the husband and father, did all this.

Sun Xiang hid his wife and daughter to create a disappearance, and he stayed here for a whole year, probably to avoid police searches. What really made me sure that Sun Xiang had imprisoned his wife and daughter was after the two bodies were found in a mass grave, and what made me think that the bodies would be in a mass grave was the strange sound we heard many times at Sun Xiang's house.

The strange sound we heard was supposed to have been made by Sun Xiang's daughter hitting the brick wall, and according to the time of death, his daughter died on the same day. Although she is bound all over her body and is terminally ill, before she dies, her nerves will be tense and her strength will recover in a short time, which is caused by hormones secreted by the adrenal glands.
