Chapter 178: The Third Corpse
In the dry latrine, they found a third body.
The deceased was thrown into a dry toilet and when it was thrown down, there was still fecal water in it. Due to the different environments in which the corpse existed, the clothes on this corpse were severely corroded, and it could only be vaguely identified as a woman's clothing.
On the corpse's neck, they found two rings of thin wire, which, judging by the degree of bending, suggests that the deceased may have been strangled to death.
"The deceased had signs of being tied up before his death." Li Fei picked up a circle of hemp rope: "The rope is rotten, but the place where the rope was found was at her wrists and ankles, judging from the posture of the deceased, she was murdered." ”
"The family of three is all gone, who killed them?" Liang Zhijie looked at the horse guide: "Is there only one child in the Yang family, Yang Xiaohan?" ”
"There is also a sister, not a few years older than Yang Xiaohan, who was taken away by her mother when she divorced." The horse guide squatted on the edge of the dry toilet: "Do you suspect Yang Xiaohan's sister?" ”
"It was a little girl you saw that night." Liang Zhijie got up and said to Li Fei: "Go back and check on this Yang Xiaohan's sister and see where she and her mother are now." ”
Li Fei nodded, pointed to the bones on the ground and said, "Do you want to notify the team?" ”
"No, the injuries on the bones are clear at a glance, and there is no need for a forensic examination. In addition, the villagers of Tangou Village have all died, and I am afraid that this case will not be investigated. Liang Zhijie said and his eyes sank: "Unless the murderer surrenders." ”
"It's all arrogant like that, how can you turn yourself in?" Li Fei looked back at the horse guide's arm: "Is your arm really incurable?" Have you ever been to a hospital in a big city? ”
"I've been there, it's useless, they've never seen me sick like this at all." The horse guide looked at the primeval forest behind the village: "Do you know how many years that forest has existed?" Even the oldest old man in our village couldn't tell. There are a lot of animals and plants in the forest, many of which are poisonous, and the experts in the city have never even seen them, let alone prepare antidotes. ”
"How could that little girl know something that the experts don't know?"
"Xu learned about it from her uncle." The horse guide took out a cigarette from his pocket: "Yang Xiaohan has an uncle who suddenly stopped growing when he was five or six years old, and later learned that he had dwarfism. This disease is nothing if it is put in the city, but the conditions of the Yang family are not good, and giving birth to a boy is for the family. Seeing that this child only ate for a long time, the Yang family was anxious and wanted to send the child out, but no one wanted to send it out. At first, he can fool around, and when people know that he is a small dwarf, they will send him back. ”
"Your own children, even if they don't grow tall, can't be sent out." Li Fei didn't understand why anyone would do this.
"Human nature is far more terrible than we can imagine." The horse guide looked at the clouds in the sky: "It is said that during the war, a corpse could be seen every few steps in the dense forest, and they were not killed by the war, but abandoned by their families. Among them, there are elderly people in their twilight years, sick people, and weak, newborn baby girls. I have a little aunt who was thrown into the forest by her family because of a high fever. ”
"High fever doesn't go away? Just because the high fever does not go away? Li Fei's eyes rolled out, he put his hand on his forehead, and circled in place: "There must be a reason for this high fever that does not go away, just go to the hospital to find out the cause." It's really not good, how much can it cost to get two antipyretic injections? ”
"Officer Lee, that was decades ago." The horse guide looked at Li Fei: "How many years ago have you counted the Qing Dynasty?" It's only been a hundred years, and when my little aunt was there, we were extremely poor here. Not only is it poor, but it is also difficult to get out of the mountains. Even if you go out of the mountains, you don't have the money to buy medicine. Officer Li, not all of this world is beautiful, just the mountains you see, if you go inside, there are even poorer villages, where the children have never even eaten candy. ”
"Aren't you talking about Uncle Yang Xiaohan?" Liang Zhijie frowned: "What does he have to do with that primeval forest?" ”
Because no one wanted to raise him, he was thrown into the primeval forest. He was only five or six years old at the time, and everyone thought he would die in that forest, but he came back alive. ”
"Was it brought back by hunters who had gone into the mountains?"
"No, he came back on his own, and although he was a little embarrassed, he lived alone in the forest for half a year." Ma guided: "Not only did he come back, but he also brought back some Chinese herbs that no one in the village had ever seen. I don't know what he did, but since he came back, his family hasn't thought about sending him out. When he was sixteen years old, he began to treat people, using the same herbs that had only come back from the forest. ”
"Isn't this a proper male frequency character?"
"How can it be so mysterious, he met an old man who knew Chinese herbal medicine in the forest, and followed the old man to live in the forest for a while. After the old man passed away, he walked out of the forest with the Chinese herbs left behind by the old man. As for why his family didn't send him away, it is very likely that the old man taught him to poison his family and used those herbs to pinch his family. He was a smart man, and he knew that people like him had to have a skill to survive, so he studied those herbs, and even learned from Shennong to taste a hundred herbs, but he never thought that it really made him break out of a way. ”
"If you have such a person, you can go to him and help you look at your arm. Maybe your poison can be cured. ”
"He died, died years ago." The horse guide shook his arm: "I probably tasted too many poisonous weeds and administered myself to death." ”
"Yang Xiaohan has a good relationship with her uncle?"
"I heard from insiders that Yang Xiaohan's parents worked outside in their early years, and her sister has been fostered in her grandmother's house, compared with her sister Yang Xiaohan, her sister should be more familiar with that uncle." When the horse guide looked down, his eyes darkened.
"This Yang Xiaohan's sister has to check it out." Li Fei pondered: "Uncle Ma, do you know where Grandma Yang Xiaohan's house is?" ”
"Yes, I can give you an address, but there shouldn't be anyone in their house." Ma Guide explained: "Yang Xiaohan's grandmother and grandfather died of illness, and the eldest uncle had a car accident while working outside, and the aunt took the child to remarry. The second uncle was the dwarfism patient who died a few years ago. She also has an aunt who used to work in the south and heard that she also passed away. There was probably no one left in their house. ”
"Is this case really a death case?"
Li Fei's brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, he turned to look at Liang Zhijie, and found that Liang Zhijie was staring at the horse guide, and the horse guide looked at the white bones that had been dug out of the dry toilet without saying a word.
After a long time, Liang Zhijie sighed and asked the horse guide: "Uncle Ma, have you heard the name Liu Zhihong." ”
When Liang Zhijie asked this sentence, Liu Zhihong stood halfway up the mountain and overlooked the courtyard below. The drizzle hit her dark green raincoat, and she remained motionless, as if to merge with the surrounding trees.
