Chapter 187: A Hundred Years of Unsolved Cases
Ouyang Chenmu and his entourage returned to the Public Security Bureau and asked if the autopsy results would not come out until at least tomorrow, and simply went back to the hotel to rest after lunch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Xiao Chongming enthusiastically fulfilled the friendship of the landlord and had to send them.
Of course, sending it is just an excuse, in fact, I still want to ask Mo Xiaoyi more about something, it seems that only this strange young man can solve the confusion in his heart.
It's no wonder that he is so nervous, encountering so many thrilling and strange things, cruel, thrilling, weird, everything, as if he is watching a messy drama shot by a third-rate director, which has long been beyond his psychological tolerance. He was completely confused, he just felt like he had entered a nightmare that he had never experienced before, and he didn't know how to struggle to wake up, let alone how to clear the fog in front of him......
As soon as he sat down in the hotel room, Xiao Chongming couldn't wait to ask, "Team Leader Ouyang, what do you think about the female corpse in the cold coffin?" ”
Ouyang Chenmu squinted at Mo Xiaoyi, half joking and half seriously quipping: "This kind of strange thing, I have to ask Comrade Xiao Mo, the leader of our 'Divine Stick Group', I'm afraid I won't need my little bit of Taoism here, I can only do it in a hurry." ”
Xiao Chongming was stunned, "The leader of the 'Divine Stick Group'? ”
Zhang Yang interjected weakly: "He is a Maoshan god stick, and he is good at it related to ghosts." ”
Mo Xiaoyi said with a smile: "Don't listen to their nonsense, I just learned some feng shui numerology and other techniques from my master, and I have nothing to do with some supernatural knowledge, but I only know a little about it." Those gods, demons and demons, for you police, are just some swaggering and deceptive behavior, and they should not be true. ”
"No, no, no, if I said that I would have regarded these as feudal superstitions before, but the strange phenomena that appeared in front of me have long since allowed me to question anything." Xiao Chongming was afraid that Mo Xiaoyi would misunderstand, so he quickly shook his head to clarify, and then said worriedly: "Maybe there are really legendary ghosts in this world, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes in the past, so we stubbornly don't want to believe it." ”
Zhang Yang nodded desperately in agreement, "That's it, there must be ghosts." ”
Ouyang Chenmu slapped him on the back of the head, and said angrily: "I think you are a ghost, a coward!" ”
Zhang Yang immediately shut up.
Mo Xiaoyi said indifferently: "Since everyone agrees with the theory of gods and ghosts, then I will talk about my opinion." The female corpse was sealed in the coffin by a person or demon with magical powers. From what I've observed, she must have been sealed away before she died, so she looks like she's sleeping. As for the reason for sealing her, I can't know ......"
Ouyang Chenmu interrupted him in shock, "What do you mean, she was suffocated to death after lying in the coffin?" ”
Mo Xiaoyi smiled: "Actually, she didn't die, she was just sealed with her soul, just like a vegetative person who lost consciousness." It's just that there are fewer signs of life than a vegetative person, and there will be no miracle of natural awakening. Unless the seal on her body is lifted and her soul is returned to her body. With her current appearance, not only can ordinary people not tell whether she is dead or alive, but even with the most advanced instruments, she can't measure it. But if her soul is not awakened and leaves the shelter of the cold coffin, she will become a real dead person. The flesh will gradually decay, eventually turning into a white bone. ”
Xiao Chongming suddenly realized: "No wonder you didn't let us move her, it turned out that she couldn't do without the cold coffin." ”
Ouyang Chenmu asked curiously, "Then do you have a way to wake her up?" ”
Mo Xiaoyi smiled bitterly: "Not for the time being." I've observed it carefully, and the sealing technique is very weird and clever, but I'm afraid that the other party is not a simple character. ”
Ouyang Chenmu's face was full of disappointment, "Do you just let her lie in the coffin like this?" ”
Mo Xiaoyi spread her hands helplessly, "I'm afraid it can only be like this for the time being." ”
Xiao Chongming murmured: "I can't imagine that there is such a strange thing in the world, it's really unbelievable, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it." ”
Mo Xiaoyi suddenly had an idea, moved his gaze to him and said, "Captain Xiao, since your county is an ancient county, there should be information such as county records preserved, right?" Do you want someone to find out the origin of that old mansion? I think it was built no more than 200 years ago. If we can find out who the original owner is, maybe the identity of those bones will be clear. ”
Xiao Chongming immediately replied: "There may be, I'll find someone to check when I go back in a while." ”
Ouyang Chenmu's eyes lit up suddenly, and his tone added a little excitement and asked, "Do you suspect that someone took a fancy to their mansion, destroyed them, and then put the cold coffin in their mansion?" ”
Mo Xiaoyi said thoughtfully: "It's not impossible. The sealing time of the female corpse was much earlier than the mansion, and it is impossible for it to exist in the mansion in the first place, and it must have been moved later. If you can find out what happened back then, and then follow that clue, you might be able to find something......"
Ouyang Chenmu looked suspicious: "Could it be that the owner who sealed her placed her here?" ”
A haze flashed in Mo Xiaoyi's eyes, and he said in a heavy tone: "If it is like that, it will be a big trouble, and those who can live for so long will definitely not be ordinary capable people, and it is unlikely that they will even be mortals." ”
Ouyang Chenmu's heart also sank, "Demons and monsters? ”
Mo Xiaoyi shook his head apologetically, "I really can't guess what his identity is now, I just know that he is not an ordinary person." ”
Xiao Chongming was completely confused by the conversation between the two, although he had accepted the theory of ghosts and gods, but listening to their conversation was too mysterious, so that his brain could not keep up smoothly, as if he was listening to the Arabian Nights, he seemed extremely confused.
Ouyang Chenmu teased Xiao Chongming with a little amusement: "I just came into contact with this kind of case, and my expression was similar to yours, and I slowly got used to it. ”
Xiao Chongming had never despised his loneliness so much, and touched his head and laughed: "Don't say it, if it weren't for my own experience, I really can't believe that those phenomena are real, it's so weird." On the way back just now, I quietly pinched my thigh, for fear that I was just dreaming. ”
Ouyang Chenmu was amused by his demeanor that was extremely incommensurate with his rugged appearance.
Zhang Yang was frightened last night, and almost broke his nerves in the old mansion in the morning, and at this time he was already tired and fell asleep on the bed.
Xiao Chongming glanced at Zhang Yang, who was asleep, stood up and said, "You guys rest for a while, I'll go back and check the history of the old mansion, and I'll send it to you as soon as I get the information." With that, he took his leave and left.
Ouyang Chenmu said politely, "Then it's troublesome", got up and sent him to the door.
Mo Xiaoyi's expression was still a little heavy, he rubbed his sore temples, moved to the window and took a few breaths of fresh air, and his mind was confused.
Ouyang Chenmu turned around and closed the door, sat down on the sponge sofa, and said to his back: "Old Mo, you can sleep for a while." I'm so sleepy, I'll lie down on the couch and sleep for a while. ”
Mo Xiaoyi said with a smile: "I tossed enough last night, I really should make up for sleep." ”
Ouyang Chenmu leaned over and leaned back on the sofa, making a faint nasal sound, and fell asleep in a blink of an eye, looking really tired.
Mo Xiaoyi couldn't help but burst into a smile, and then lay down on the bed, unable to fall asleep with her eyes closed, the beautiful woman in the coffin and the weird manzhu sawa on her forehead always appeared repeatedly in her mind.
What kind of person sealed her? What happened to her thousands of years ago? And what is her identity?
Mo Xiaoyi didn't know when he fell asleep, and when he woke up, he found that the window had been dyed with traces of twilight. A faint yellow lingers around the sky, as if the ink color rendered by the painter casually, setting off the scenery more and more vastly. His heart was like this twilight, with a heavy feeling that he couldn't help but fall.
Ouyang Chenmu and Zhang Yang were still asleep, and they didn't have the slightest intention of waking up.
Mo Xiaoyi put her arm under her head and lay quietly, and thought carefully about the corpse of the old house girl, trying to find something.
There was a soft knock on the door.
Mo Xiaoyi got up to open the door, and saw Xiao Chongming standing at the door with a stack of materials, with a touch of obvious excitement on his face, and said excitedly when he saw him: "Xiao Mo, the history of the old mansion has been found." I didn't expect it to be quite complete, and the basic records are still there. ”
Ouyang Chenmu also got up when he heard the movement, walked over quickly and said, "Really? Let's see what's going on. ”
Close the door and sit around the tea.
Ouyang Chenmu and Mo Xiaoyi's heads came together.
The county chronicles clearly record that the old house has indeed been around for 200 years, but what they didn't expect was that 200 years ago it was not called Honghe Village, but Qiushui Village. Most of the villagers have the surname Qiu, and very few have foreign surnames.
As the saying goes, "Rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, rely on the water to eat the water".
Although Qiushui Village is relatively closed and the traffic is not very developed, the village is half surrounded by the Qiushui River, and there are groups of fish and shrimp in the river, and there is no end to it. The land along the river is fertile, the water is abundant, and the conditions for growing are very good. The villagers live the most simple life of male farmers and female weavers, and are completely self-sufficient. The abundant timber and medicinal resources in the nearby mountains have also become a source of livelihood for them. The days can be considered dull and stable. At least everyone has food and clothing, and even the war outside will not affect them.
At that time, Qiushui Village could be regarded as a peaceful paradise.
Qiu Yueli, the owner of the old house, is the only big family in the village and is quite wealthy.
But strangely, his ancestors were not very wealthy. As for how he became rich overnight and became a local tyrant, there is no record in the county annals. Or that no one knows the inside story, only that he suddenly became very rich and rich. After making a fortune, he built a very magnificent courtyard house, and also invited a lot of family members to take care of the courtyard.
However, after less than five years of living in the Qiu family's mansion, strange things happened frequently. Either the family members fell ill inexplicably, or the chickens and ducks died mysteriously. There were even servants who went crazy for no reason, not only biting the old lady of the Qiu family, but also almost burning the Qiu family's compound to the ground.
Qiu Yue was unbearable, and asked many monks and Taoists to exorcise ghosts, but still had no effect.
Three years later, the same strange thing happened in the village.
In just one month, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep died.
The village veterinarian suspected that there was a plague and was afraid of spreading it to humans, so he instructed the villagers to dig deep pits and bury the dead animals. Unfortunately, despite the good measures, the villagers fell ill one after another. Some people in one family get sick at the same time, and some get sick one after another.
All the doctors outside the village, as well as the doctors invited by the county seat, were helpless about their condition, and could only watch them slowly die in pain and torture, and finally there was no one in the village to live. Even Qiu Yueli's family, who moved to the county seat with his wife and children, disappeared inexplicably when the villagers died.
No one knows where they went, and no one knew whether they were alive or dead.
The county government once sent people to Qiushui Village to investigate the case, but nothing was found after investigation, as if it was really just a novel infectious disease that led to the extinction of the village, so it was shelved as an unsolved case.
Not long after the village extermination occurred, the originally clear and translucent Qiushui River seemed to have been maliciously sprinkled with dye, and it seemed to be mixed with countless blood, turning into a very terrible red. The blood-like red water meandered, terrible and eerie, and there were countless fish and shrimp corpses floating on it, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.
Qiushui Village was completely declined, no one dared to go in to live there, and no one dared to pass by there, and gradually it was called Honghe Village.
Another number of years passed.
The strange water of the Red River gradually faded, slowly regained its clarity, and the fishy smell disappeared, and creatures such as fish, shrimp, and algae began to appear in the river.
The former Qiushui Village seems to be back.
There was a wave of fireworks in the village, and most of them were people who fled from other places or fled the war.
The old mansion also has a new owner, and it happens that his surname is Qiu, so I don't know if he was a survivor of the year. It's just that at that time, no one remembered the original Qiushui Village, and still called the village Honghe Village, and the Qiushui River Honghe.
Ouyang Chenmu and Mo Xiaoyi looked at each other after reading the information, and a thought came to their minds almost at the same time, dare to love that there is still a century-old unsolved case hidden in the old mansion?
Xiao Chongming had read the contents of the information in detail before, and when he saw that they were only staring at each other, he couldn't wait to ask, "What do you think?" Is it possible that those white bones are Qiu Yueli's family? ”
Ouyang Chenmu smiled: "Very possibly. ”
Mo Xiaoyi frowned slightly and said, "Didn't Qiu Yueli move out of the old mansion when he left the family?" How did he die in the house? ”
Ouyang Chenmu nodded frequently, "It's really strange, if the murderer just wants to occupy the old mansion, why is it necessary to kill Qiu Yueli, who has already given up the mansion?" What's more, there are still young and old? The most puzzling thing is, why pin the corpse to the wall? Isn't that too perverted? ”
Mo Xiaoyi said lightly: "There is only one possibility, the murderer feels that Qiu Yueli must die to achieve his goal." As for why the methods are so cruel, I think it is to provoke greater resentment among the victims. The greater the grievance of the deceased, the heavier the evil spirit of the old mansion, and the more conducive it is for him to place the cold coffin and preserve the female corpse in the coffin ......"
