Chapter 16: The White Bones of the Mine

"Officer Wang, Officer Hu. Just now they said that before Jiang Xufang disappeared, he often ran to the east of the village, and went to find the safety rope to go down to the bottom of the well. So I thought, should there be a well there? Maybe they threw the evidence of their crimes there? ”

"The east of the village is a wasteland, and it was said that it was returned to forests and lakes to balance the ecological environment of Zhusu Town. So now there is no one living there. There are a few wells, but they are either dry, or the water in them is very bitter and cannot be drunk at all, so there is no one living there. ”

"Then let's go there and have a look, go down to the well and fish it out, and see if we can find anything."

Just do it, and a few people came to the east end of the village. It is now a vast area of woods and wasteland, and there is no longer any sight of what was once inhabited. "By the way, has Jiang Xufang ever lived here, or have his relatives ever lived here?"

"It seems that there is, Lao Jiang told me that he lived in the east of the village when he was a child. They said that there was a big locust tree in front of their house, which was very thick, but then they all moved away. A Jiang Xufang drinking friend said.

"A big locust tree that is very thick, I seem to know where it is, and we can find it if we walk more than 300 meters north." Wang Li thought about it all of a sudden.

Following Wang Li, the group found the big locust tree, "This should be Jiang Xufang's home." ”

Jiang Chonglang looked around for a moment, and finally focused his gaze not far away: "Look there," everyone looked over to the place he pointed, which was full of raised places covered with straw and stones.

"This should be a well." Jiang Chonglang said as he walked there.

The others also followed, and Jiang Chonglang ripped down the stones and straw above, and there was indeed a well below.

"It's strange, there's obviously no one living here, and there's nothing to seal the well with straw and stones, I'll go down and take a look, maybe there's something greasy inside." As he spoke, Jiang Chonglang sent a safety rope to his waist.

"Brother Chong, be careful, the air in the well is thin, don't suffocate, or I'll go down with you." Han Yuchao said worriedly.

"Don't worry, it's all trivial to me, I haven't seen any big winds and waves. But you, if you go down with me, in case you faint, I will have to take care of you. ”

Before Han Yuchao could say anything, he saw Jiang Chonglang turn over and jump down the well.

"It's not just a well, it's a dry well." Jiang Chonglang said as he fell. The air under the well was really thin, Jiang Chonglang held his breath, and with the light of the faint flashlight, he came to the bottom of the well.

Jiang Chonglang had just fallen to the bottom of the well, and he felt that he had touched something round, and he couldn't help but gasp when he used a flashlight. His hand rested on top of a skull.

"There is a major discovery at the bottom of the well, and there is a white skeleton in it, you should call the police and call the police over." Jiang Chonglang shouted with a walkie-talkie.

Jiang Chonglang put down the walkie-talkie, and found that there were several woven bags under the white bones, he picked one up and opened it, and gasped a second time: there was actually a skull inside. In other words, the white bones in the dry well are not one, but two.

Two white bones were found in a dry well that had been abandoned for many years, which was a major criminal case in Qingzhi Village, where the people were simple and rarely committed crimes. Hu Ding hurriedly called the province and asked them to send technicians from the province to the scene of the crime.

Soon, a number of police cars roared from Yangcheng City. The members of the serious crime team led by Jiang Chonglang: Wen Caiyu, Xue Ran, Xu Meng, and Shen Bin all came.

"Team Jiang, I thought that you and Sister Lan Shan came to Zhusu for their honeymoon, but I didn't expect to come to handle the case. Why don't you talk to us, you see a few of us, especially Brother Ran and Brother Bin, since they returned from injury, they have been shouting bored, shouting to solve the case. Didn't you just come over as soon as you heard that there was a case? Wen Caiyu got out of the police car and said when she saw Jiang Chonglang.

"Yes, I want to live a happy life as a prince and a princess, but I don't have a happy life as a prince and a princess. We found two white bones at the bottom of the well, one of which was relatively intact, and the other was dismembered, put into several woven bags and thrown in. So after you take the second one back, you have to carefully put it together. I guess these two dead people have been dead for more than ten years, but I didn't expect them to see the light of day again. Seeing that the big guys in front of him were coming, Jiang Chonglang sighed with emotion.

It took more than two hours for the police to completely salvage the contents of the dry well: two white bones, the first one was well preserved, and there was no sign of being cut and dismembered; The second was dismembered and packed into 5 or 6 woven bags.

Because the facilities here were really rudimentary, it took Zhang Lanshan and Ye Lili almost two days to complete the examination of the bones.

"After analysis, the bones of these two corpses are thicker, the shape of the pelvis is smaller, the shape is like an inverted round platform, the pelvic wall is hypertrophied and rough, the bone is heavier, the upper pelvic mouth is heart-shaped, the front and back are narrow, and the pelvis is narrow and deep, and it is funnel-shaped. Therefore, it can be judged that both are male, and judging by the degree of erosion of the white bones, both have died for more than 10 years. : The first skeleton was about 30-35 years old, and there were four sharp holes on the back of the deceased's head, which were evenly placed and deep. This is the cause of death of the deceased; The second deceased was less than 20 years old, about 16-19 years old, and the cause of death was still a severe blow to the skull and a fracture. And after death, the corpse was divided, judging from the incision of the bones, the tool for dismembering the corpse should be an ordinary kitchen knife. ”

In addition to the two white bones, some clothes and shoes of the two deceased were found in the dry well, the first of which was wearing autumn clothes, and the second was wearing summer clothes. Jiang Chong and Jiang Xufang's friends identified it: the clothes and shoes worn on the first corpse were Jiang Xufang's: "I have an impression of this dress, Jiang Xufang showed it off everywhere when he first bought it, saying that it was almost 1,000 yuan." I don't believe it, if you want me to see it, it's less than 300 yuan. ”

And Jiang Xufang's age when he disappeared was also in his 30s, so the first corpse should be him: "Could it be that Jiang Xufang frequently extorted money from Guan Xueshuang with the murder back then." Guan Xueshuang couldn't bear it, so he simply killed people and threw the corpse into the dry well. But what is the matter with this second corpse, and what does it have to do with this case? Han Yuchao looked at the two white bones and asked puzzled.

"What's going on, because the second corpse that was dismembered was the murderer of the arson case back then." Jiang Chonglang replied on the side.
