The fifth master told me that at the door of every house, there is a ghost guarding the door. I once saw the fifth master greet them one by one, but I couldn't see anything, and the fifth master grabbed my hand tightly at that time, worried that I would be hurt.

After the fifth master passed away, I can still remember his words, and when I asked the fifth uncle, he smiled and asked me, "Do you want to go and see it?" I'll take you. I nodded excitedly.

Towards night, I regretted it, because it was the first time I had real contact with these spirits, and I could see them, and it was a strange feeling, and what kind of eyes would they use to reciprocate me? Will they hurt me? These unconceptual fears and nervousness just confirmed the phrase "curiosity kills cats", and when the fifth uncle smeared my eyes with corpse oil soaked in willow leaves (it is said that I can see it, but don't imitate it), I know that it is too late to regret it now.

Time: 1 o'clock in the evening. Location: A small alley in our village. Characters: Donkey Egg, Fifth Uncle.

The two of us went out into the alley on a dark and windy night. I avoided the doorways of each house and looked as far into the middle of the alley as I could, but I still inevitably saw something surprising.

Just after the child, a figure began to appear at the door of each house, until a complete human shape appeared, most of them sat at the door, some held rice bowls to eat, and some sat upright, not easily moving their seats. Sitting at these doorways were some old people, with gray faces, indifferent eyes, and blank expressions, wearing the clothes of the burial, and I followed closely behind the fifth uncle, and my eyes did not dare to look at these souls. They watched us as we moved, cold and defensive. When I walked to the door of Erniu's house, the party of the soul chain, an old woman came forward and said something with countless hands, I couldn't hear it at all, I looked at these old people sitting at the door vigilantly. The fifth uncle said that the newcomers who have just started a family and built a house or the souls guarding the door of the whole family are the ghosts of hell, these ghost envoys are invisible to our current mana, only the fifth master has seen it, the fifth master said, he also drank wine with these ghost envoys, and invited them to eat boiled eggs.

We walked around, and sure enough, as the fifth uncle said, there was a soul guarding the door at everyone's doorstep. The village alley was quiet, and occasionally a few dogs barked, and they began to be alert, and as soon as a dog slipped out of the door, they immediately disappeared, and after a while realized that there was no danger, and then reappeared in shape. The fifth uncle said that cats and dogs can see these things, and most of these things are not malicious, but they are afraid of cats and dogs.

This is the sight I saw of the souls guarding the door. There aren't too many opportunities like this, and the fifth uncle just wants me to see it. Because in the past two days, a person has frequently come to the fifth uncle, and the fifth uncle said that this person's affairs are related to the soul of the gatekeeper. The fifth uncle had promised to help him, but after the agreed time after three days, he still came every day, for three consecutive days, and he never tired of it, because every day he came was like the first time Uncle Morgan said what happened to him. The fifth uncle was not tired of his verbosity and persistence, because this person's memory was really as he said - very bad.

This person is called Shi Yisheng, nicknamed "Amnesia". He works as an architect for an architectural company and is a well-known designer in the construction industry. Although this person is easy to forget other things, he does remember it professionally, a design decades ago, he can remember every detail. It is said that the office building of a major media is designed by Shi Yisheng. The building is magnificent, just like a woman's bra, the worst thing is that this person has a poor memory, forgetting the principle of confidentiality when designing, and the next day he used this design to participate in the printing and distribution of his own architectural monograph, the title is called "underwear and architecture", for a time public opinion was in an uproar, and his company was also very embarrassed.

But because this person did have a talent for design, he couldn't be dismissed, so he was sent to this mountain village to be responsible for designing villas in the mountain village. also triggered an embarrassing human tragedy.

Shi Yisheng's design of a complete set of villa construction plans has been approved, and the other party has given him a check for all expenses, which is really the most unsuitable person. But the other party didn't know that this person had a problem with forgetfulness. So, when the company asked Shi Yisheng to remit the check back to the company, his check was missing.

At the beginning, for the convenience of his work, the construction company arranged for the family to live in a building in the mountains, Shi Yisheng and a nine-year-old son. Shi Yisheng suspected that his son had lost the check, because no one else was suspicious except for his son. People with poor memory don't feel or even know that they have a memory problem at all, and Shi Yisheng is the same. He remembers pressing the check under the sheets. So he tortured his nine-year-old son, of course he didn't admit it, Shi Yisheng beat his son hard, the child also had backbone, and ran out early the next morning, Shi Yisheng went out to find it for a day without results, and when his son came back, it was already noon the next day. The boy had just been fished out of the pond, soaking wet, and had been dead for a long time.

Shi Yisheng regretted it very much, he was too impulsive at the time. However, no amount of regret can save the child's life. So Shi Yisheng had no choice but to dig a grave pit in the back mountain and bury his son. That night, Shi Yisheng drank a lot of wine, fell asleep on the table, and heard his son calling her in a daze, and when he promised to look around, he found his son floating in the pond swollen all over, and smiled at him: "Dad, come on." I'm cold, bring me clothes! He woke up with a fright. When he got up to go to his son's room, he was amazed by what he was looking inside! My son was lying in bed, as if he were asleep!

He was not afraid, and quickly carried the child's body back to the cemetery and reburied it. But when he arrived at the cemetery, he found that the cemetery was intact and no one had touched it at all! He didn't know what to do, and wanted to ask the nearby villagers to come and help, but how could this kind of thing be believed? And this is his son's graveyard, how can he let others dig it at will?

There was no choice but to dig another pit next to the man and bury the child's body in a hurry. The next morning, the child was lying on the bed again, and she could no longer believe her eyes, and sat beside the corpse in a daze: what was going on? At this time, he suddenly felt a chill in his back, and someone behind the door laughed twice, and when he turned his head, he found that there was nothing at all!

The man felt that things were getting stranger and stranger, so he had to bury the child in a new grave, and this was the case every morning after that. A week after the child's death, this man didn't do anything at all, just busy transporting and burying the body. So he couldn't wait to find the fifth uncle, hoping that the fifth uncle would help him solve this problem, he had lost his son, he really couldn't withstand any toss, and wanted to finish the design of these villas and live a normal life.

I followed the fifth uncle to the cemetery to check and found that in addition to the first main grave with a tombstone, there were six other new graves without a tombstone. We took shovels and prepared to dig open these graves to take a look, but were stopped by this Shi Yishengsheng: "Sir! Let the child rest in peace, and don't disturb him again. What if something is inappropriate and he is going to make trouble again? The fifth uncle gave me a look, and I immediately understood what it meant: "You uncle, this is not clear, how can I help you?" In that case, we will take our leave! After speaking, I pulled my five uncles and friends to leave, and Shi Yisheng was really anxious, and hurriedly stopped us: "Other graves can be inspected, but the main grave must not be moved!" "My fifth uncle and I agreed.

That night, we began to guard around these graves, because the graves had to wait until the evening, so our actions just now were really to scare this Shi Yisheng. At this time, it is estimated that Shi Yisheng is already waiting for news in his house.

It was getting dark, and Uncle Fifth made a move, and we began to dig up these graves. These graves are not too deep, and after a while, they will be at the bottom, and they are indeed full of children's corpses. And the further back it is buried, the less decompositive the body becomes. At the last open graveyard, the child looked like he had just died. My fifth uncle and I were secretly surprised!

At this time, it was almost twelve o'clock in the night, and we hurriedly filled the corpse back into the original tunnel, and sorted out the surface, so that there was no trace of movement from the outside, so we were relieved, and we both climbed a big tree, standing on the tree, and quietly observing everything around the cemetery.

I stayed in the tree for about an hour, during which I was bored, so I asked the fifth uncle, "Who do you say did this?" The fifth uncle smiled and said, "It's the thing I took you to see two nights ago, and it's available at every doorstep." If it weren't for them, no one would have been able to carry the corpse through the door! "After a while, I heard movement under the tree, and I looked down from above, and I almost fell down in fright! It turned out that a few paper figures dug open the main grave, pulled out the body of the child who had been heavily decomposed, and then set a curse, and after a while, the child was already attached to the paper man, and the paper man became the appearance of the child's corpse at that time, and was carried by several other paper people, and went to the direction where Shi Yisheng lived.

I asked the fifth uncle what was going on, and the fifth uncle said: "This child must have grievances, the paper man should be a ghost guarding the door, it is really not a good sign to move the paper man to Shi Yisheng's house every night, and you know, the child is dead, the paper man is also a ghost, the ghost is on the ghost, and the king of Hades is also afraid of three points." There must be something strange about this child's death! With that, we followed the paper figures from a distance.

The paper figure was not human, but it moved very fast at night, and when we arrived. They were already guarding the door, and the fifth uncle and I knew that the body of another child was on the bed. At this time, a paper figure came up, which surprised us, because normally, the spirit of the gatekeeper cannot leave easily, unless there is something very important. After the paper man came over, he ignored us, but walked straight to the farther place ahead, and I looked at the fifth uncle and immediately followed.

The paper figure walked to a pond and didn't move, it was dark around the pond, and the pond the size of two football fields had only a few occasional frog chirps, which made people feel a little energetic. After a while, the center of the pond fluctuated, and we could hear the sound of rushing water, and we took advantage of the only bit of light to see a big ripple in the middle of the blue water, like a spring suddenly gushing out, and after a while, a soaking child-like supernatural object appeared, the thing did not speak, just scratched its hand, and the whole pond appeared in the sky like a movie, there was no sound, and it was not very clear to see, but it was enough to explain the problem:

In the picture, Shi Yisheng is slapping a thin woman fiercely, and it can be seen that this woman has a close relationship with him, because this woman and Shi Yisheng are both wearing pajamas. We didn't expect that Shi Yisheng, a weak engineer, would have such a violent side, he held a big stick, and beat the woman for a while, the woman was very thin, how could she withstand such a beating, after a while, the woman had already fainted to the ground, and this Shi Yisheng stopped fighting, but saw the woman dragged to another place, it was a mountain, and the bottom was a valley more than ten meters deep, and the valley was full of strange rocks, and the illusion was very clear here. We can even see Shi Yisheng's hair and the blood stains on the woman's body, and the supernatural on the water surface has already shown difficulty. After Shi Yisheng threw the woman in his hand down the valley, the camera stopped abruptly, and then Shi Yisheng had already dressed his son in filial piety clothes, and the posthumous photo in the middle was clearly the woman who was thrown off the cliff.

Immediately afterwards, there was the scene of Shi Yisheng beating his son, the degree of the beating was really terrible, a thin steel wire was tied to a wooden stick, and the nine-year-old boy's body was whipped fiercely, although the child was already full of blood-red marks like a zebra, and Shi Yisheng had no intention of stopping at all, and still whipped very hard, as if the beaten had nothing to do with himself. In the end, the child also fainted, Shi Yisheng applied a potion to the child, but unexpectedly, the scars on the child's body were immediately gone, and there was no difference from normal people's skin at all.

Shi Yisheng took advantage of the darkness and threw his son into the pond. A string of bubbles bubbled up in the pond, and then calm returned. Shi Yisheng threw a few coins on the surface of the water's edge, then skillfully messed up his footprints, and then left, until someone found him the next day and gave him the child's body.

All the information was played, and the ghost in the water sank. I felt a chill run down my back, and the paper figure was gone. When we returned, we found that the paper man was already standing at the door, doing his duty. The fifth uncle said, "Let's go to their company tomorrow to find out about the situation." ”

The next day, Shi Yisheng found his son's body again, he was already very devastated, pulling me and my fifth uncle by the necks and shouting: "What kind of thing are you, it's all a lie!" I tell you, don't try to fool me, let alone cheat me out of my money, if you don't have real skills, you can't do this kind of thing, let alone fool me, you wait. After saying that, he carried the corpse and went to the back mountain again.

It was already noon when my fifth uncle and I arrived at the construction company, and we took the person with the worst relationship with Shi Yisheng out of the company, because I had a police officer ID, so it was very simple to find someone to investigate the situation. The reason why I found a person with the worst relationship to understand the situation is based on two considerations: first, the two have more contact at work and understand each other better; Second, the two have contradictions and can say some things that others do not shy away from.

This person's surname is Liang, let's call him Lao Liang. The following is the situation provided by Lao Liang: "Shi Yisheng This person I first contacted him and felt that this person was not bad, but after a long time, I felt that this person had a lot of problems, first and foremost, he was too forgetful, and he didn't know if it was true or false, anyway, he never remembered some trivial things in daily life." He couldn't even remember some things that were not related to design at work. It's been a few years since our unit moved here, and he doesn't even know how to get to his office. The new chairman, he always forgot what people's surnames were, and if he hadn't seen his strong business ability, the chairman would have fired him a long time ago. There is also the fact that he doesn't give people face and likes to scold people. This problem directly led to his poor popularity in the unit, most people were reluctant to contact him, and it was rumored that he had a problem of beating his wife. I don't look down on this kind of man at all, and only men who don't have the ability can beat their wives.

Later, I heard that there was a big project to him, he quickly completed the design, and the design fee was also given to the old history in time, it stands to reason that the design fee is to be handed over to the unit, the designer can only get a part of the commission from the middle, and the familiar customers in the past know that the old history is a non-memory of the goods, and generally will not give him the design fee. ”

"Under normal circumstances, the customer should hand over the company's property, right?" I asked Lao Liang. "It stands to reason that it should be, but you also know that many times some customers and designers always have a little bit of a kitten, eat some rebates, send some gray income, so the company knows that this is wrong, but still allows designers to directly contact the customer's funds, and generally defaults to the designer's income. It is an open secret in the design industry that some people are given the space to find grey income. Old customers know that Lao Shi has this problem, so they don't give the design fee to Lao Shi, so among the engineers who do design in the company, Lao Shi earns the least because of his poor memory, so the boss also takes care of him and gives him more design commissions. But once, three new customers didn't know Lao Shi's virtue, so they gave the design fee to Lao Shi, and they gave cash, and Lao Shi took the customer's money but completely forgot where to put it. Everyone knows that this person has a bad memory, and it is normal to lose it, and they think that he will not be lost elsewhere, except for the unit is home. This old history really worked hard to find it, turned the house upside down, threw everything into the yard, and beat his wife half to death, and stayed in the hospital for half a year, but he didn't find it in the end. The company knew that the man had no memory, and in the end it was gone.

"I lost my money once, and Lao Shi couldn't hold his head up in the unit, so his temper was worse and his memory was even worse. But this person has a little advantage, that is, there is absolutely no deviation in the design, and the memory is super good. More than a year after losing money last time, Lao Shi made another fuss, this time he directly beat his wife out and fell under the cliff. His family members died, and the company couldn't say anything, not only did not hold him accountable, but also gave him a pension. This time, Lao Shi was alone in the mountains, and something happened again, and his son was gone. The company is ready to report the case, and it is said that this old history is an important suspect. You're a criminal policeman, do you think this is too strange? Because the amount of money he loses every time is a relatively large business during the year, and the amount is relatively large. And I also heard that this old history bought accident insurance for his wife and son, and the target is very large! “

After talking to Lao Liang, the fifth uncle said to me, "You can close the case, right?" I smiled, but I felt a chill in my back, and immediately dialed the phone number of the unit's economic investigation department. The matter has come to light, Lao Shi did not hesitate to pretend that he had a poor memory for a long time for the sake of money, and in order to show his innocence and obtain a valuable insurance premium, he did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his relatives, and tried his best to get a large sum of money.

This reminds me of a similar case

When holding the hand of the son, who could have predicted that one day he would hold a butcher's knife in his hand.

When the word is in place, marriage may be just a shortcut to fill the gap.

Sometimes it's not about looking at the wrong person, it's about underestimating human nature.

In July 2020, a vicious criminal case triggered by a missing person incident caused a sensation in society.

Ms. Lai, 51, from Hangzhou, mysteriously disappeared from her home in the early hours of July 5. After the family counted, her wallet, mobile phone and other belongings were not taken away, and only a suspender nightdress was missing from her clothes.

The police checked the surveillance of the community, but did not find the figure of the lady, just like the plot of a suspense story, a big living person actually evaporated from the world.

Where can an ordinary middle-aged woman, penniless, not even wearing a decent piece of clothing?

Originally, this may have been just an incident about a woman going missing, but I didn't think it was a big case of killing his wife that happened under the noses of ordinary people across the country.

From the doubts of the audience and netizens about the case, to the real-time progress report of the case, to the ending after the case was solved, it was the first time that people were so close to the criminal case and saw the murderer's performance and "superb acting skills" with their own eyes.

The sensation caused by this case has brought shock, anger and embarrassment to people, and it will not be able to dissipate for a long time.

This is the major national criminal case in 2020 "Hangzhou Murder of Wife and Broken Body".

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 2021, the case has been submitted to the procuratorate, which has once again attracted people's attention, but there have been no new public reports in the follow-up.

It's like pressing the pause button suddenly, and the coverage of the case comes to an abrupt halt here. Although people know the whereabouts of Ms. Lai and who the suspect is, they want to know the ins and outs of the whole case, the causes and the results.

It's like waiting for another boot to hit the ground.

Why did Xu Guoli kill his wife, and what was his motive for committing the crime?

On the afternoon of July 6, 2020, Ms. Lai's family went to the Sijiqing Police Station to report the case after searching for her to no avail.

Her husband, Xu Guoli, told the police that the day before his wife, Ms. Lai, disappeared, on the evening of July 4, the couple celebrated the birthday of their 11-year-old daughter. At about 10 o'clock, the whole family went to bed.

At 0:30 a.m. on the 5th, Xu Guoli got up to go to the toilet, and at this time, Ms. Lai was still asleep beside her. But when I got up again at half past five, my wife was gone.

That morning, he called his wife's relatives and friends and asked them one by one, but no one saw her. For people of such an age, they will not run away from home, let alone get lost at home, and wait at home for a day, and the time will pass like this.

The next day was a Monday, and Ms. Lai's workplace called and asked why Ms. Lai did not come to work, and then Xu Guoli felt bad.

Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, Xu Guoli and Ms. Lai went to the police station to report the case together with the eldest daughter born to her ex-husband.

After the police at the police station learned about the situation, they began to investigate and search for it in accordance with the usual practice.

But after a few days, there was no sign of the lady.

Ms. Lai's nephew, Mr. Mao, decided to turn to the media for help and contacted the well-known column "Xiaoqiang Hotline" of Zhejiang TV to ask for help from the media.

In this way, this seemingly uneventful disappearance was pushed to the forefront.

With the media interview, Ms. Lai's husband, Xu Guoli, appeared in front of the national audience and netizens.

And it was his interview video that became the beginning of the whole society witnessing the detection of this case, vividly showing a heart-wrenching criminal case in 2020.

Xu Guoli in the lens is tall and eloquent, and at first glance he is a person who has seen the world. In the face of the reporter's question, he had a relaxed expression and talked eloquently:

"There's no way she's going to go out alone. With her IQ, she can't get out alone, honestly. I've lived with her for so many years and know her well. ”

Is it normal for your wife to be so easy when she disappears?

All of the above seems to make sense. It was July 15, 10 days after Ms. Lai's disappearance, and the police did not find any clues in their multi-faceted investigation. Perhaps in this case, the family of the missing person will think that it is always good that the body is not found, that there is still hope that the person is still alive, and that he may return one day. It never hurts to be optimistic.

However, Xu Guoli's contemptuous attitude towards his wife in his words always makes people feel very uncomfortable, and the understatement seems to be talking about other people's affairs. In addition, in recent years, there have been many cases of husbands killing their wives, so it is impossible not to assume the darkest aspects.

As a result, the families of the missing have become the object of questioning, and various speculations have appeared on the Internet:

"Xu Guoli is a community security guard, he is familiar with all the monitoring locations, he must know the inside story."

"I deduced that Ms. Lai was killed by her husband, and the body was shredded and flushed down the toilet. That's what a foreign serial killer did! ”

"Ms. Lai's family is a demolition household, with several apartments under her name and millions of savings, and her disappearance must be related to this."

"He's been a scout, it's not easy to kill someone?"

People are waiting for the case to be solved, waiting for the result.

Detection of the case

At this time, this case is still an ordinary person missing, and it belongs to the civil category.

Since the police station that first received the report searched for several days without any results, the case was transferred to the Jianggan District Branch of the Hangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau.

In the course of the search, the people's police attached great importance to a number of suspicious points, and they felt that this was not an ordinary case of missing persons, so they quickly set up a special task force to investigate in accordance with the working mechanism of "suspected murder of missing persons."

The task force immediately investigated the various monitoring at the place of the incident, and after analyzing and judging the monitoring content of 6,000 hours, it was first determined that Ms. Lai had never left the unit building where she lived since she took the elevator home with her little daughter on the evening of July 4.

At the same time, a part of the police has carried out carpet inspections on the basement, elevator shaft, water tank, manhole, locker, flue, ventilation pipe and other public hidden parts in the community four times, and eliminated possible hiding places one by one.

The police also visited more than 1,000 households in the community, and focused on questioning Ms. Lai's family, relatives, neighbors, colleagues and friends, and restored her basic living conditions, interpersonal relationships, life experience, activity trajectory and financial status.

According to the investigation of the visit, combined with various investigation data, and comprehensive analysis and judgment, the police finally ruled out the possibility that Ms. Lai ran away from home and was abducted by others, and initially locked the suspect on her husband Xu Guoli.

Next, on the basis of many inspections of the septic tank, combined with video investigation, visit investigation and smart police big data research and analysis, the task force judged that there was a great possibility of relevant evidence in the septic tank in the corridor where the incident occurred, so it decided to conduct a thorough screening of the septic tank regardless of the scorching heat and all difficulties.

On the afternoon of July 22, the task force carried out the pumping of septic tanks in accordance with regulations in a special site arranged in advance.

In the hot weather of nearly 40 degrees Celsius, the police wore fully enclosed isolation suits, and in the harsh environment, they washed and screened a truckload of fecal water drawn one after another, and finally found suspected human tissues.

From this point of view, Lady Lai may have been killed, and her fate was pre-planned!

As soon as the DNA test report came out, the task force summoned the suspect Xu Guoli at 1 a.m. on the 23rd.

After nine hours of interrogation, at 10 a.m. that day, the police finally broke through Xu Guoli's psychological defense. Xu Guoli admitted that on the night of July 4, he smothered his wife to death with a pillow while she was asleep. The reason for the killing was due to some trivial family matters, and the whereabouts of the body are consistent with many people's speculation, and the body was dismembered and thrown to different places.

In this way, a missing person incident escalated into a major murder case.

The matter quickly fermented, and netizens discussed:

"What kind of psychological quality is it that you can be interviewed so calmly after killing someone?"

"He opened a duck farm, slaughtering and processing one-stop service, but I didn't expect it to be used in killing......"

"He used to be a butcher......"

"This man looks good-looking, I didn't expect to do such a thing...... What an actor-level performance! ”

Xu Guoli's acting skills are nothing to say, his psychological quality is also first-class, and his modus operandi has broken through the imagination of ordinary people. Perhaps he thinks, with his own intelligence, enough to provoke the law and commit a "perfect crime". Because there was no body, it was difficult for the police to convict him. Who knows, less than a month after his wife's disappearance, he appeared in front of the people of the whole country.

As the truth surfaced, the grievances and hatred between Xu Guoli and Ms. Lai were displayed in front of people.

Xu Guoli and Ms. Lai are a reorganized family, he has a son with his ex-wife, Ms. Lai and her ex-husband have a daughter, and now both children are adults.

More than ten years ago, the two broke through many obstacles and reorganized a new family. Who knows, after the lovers finally became married, they did not grow old happily. Twelve years later, the husband killed his wife with his own hands, and after brutally dismembering her body, some of it was washed down the drain and the other part was thrown into a garbage dump.

It's really embarrassing that two people who want to combine desperately end up in this way.

[The darkness of the human heart is really not something we can imagine, it is ten million times more terrible than ghosts,]
