Chapter Ninety-Eight: Behind the Scenes!
On the other side, the police are also in a difficult situation, and after all the clues are collected, they are all brought back to the bureau for testing.
"It's not strange for you to say that there haven't been any major cases in our place in recent years, but when we go back to the big cases, they are inseparable from that mountain."
The location of that place is remote, and it is deep in the mountains and old forests, although the villages at the foot of the mountains are populated, but the people are also simple, and there has never been any murder before.
But in recent years, murders have emerged one after another, all of which happened on this mountain, and those who don't know think that there is a murderer living here.
From the poachers in the beginning, to the human traffickers who followed, and now the tomb robbers, they may seem different, but there are subtle similarities.
Everyone's hands and feet were not clean, and the cause of death varied.
The people in the bureau talked a lot about this, and even couldn't help but spread it in private, that mountain might really have some problems.
The first time Sun Zhenbang came back was to report the situation to his boss.
Sun Zhenbang's boss had a headache, "Why is there an accident on this mountain again, this is already the third homicide, and 6 people died this time!" β
Although I don't know if it is directly related to the last two murders, its appearance and existence are a problem for the police.
"No matter what happens this time, the murderer must be caught, otherwise if it continues, the top should be held accountable."
"After investigation, we found that these tomb robbers were employed by an overseas antiquities reselling syndicate, but because their base camp is not in China, it is difficult to continue to track them down."
It is not easy to trace the origin, and these tomb robbers are also dead, and the line is broken by more than half.
The people above will definitely hide when they hear the news, after all, they are not stupid, even if the police want to follow the vine and follow the trace, there is no clue.
Unless they themselves show up and show their feet.
The boss complained, and Sun Zhenbang also had a headache, for some reason, he had a premonition in his heart this time, maybe the murderer was the same as the previous two times, and he still couldn't catch it.
"What kind of expression do you have, don't tell me you can't do it!"
Sun Zhenbang looked helpless, "You also know about the previous two cases, and we haven't found the murderer so far." β
The boss was speechless, and sighed, "Forget it, you do your best." β
"Every time it happens on that mountain, it makes me lose a lot of hair, and if I continue like this, I will soon become bald."
"The clues have been collected and sent to the inspection department, and now we are just waiting for the report from there."
Now the police have to continue tracking on the one hand to see if they can find the overseas cultural relics resale syndicate, and on the other hand, they have to track down the murderer, which can be said to be a heavy task.
Dissection room.
At this moment, the forensic doctor was operating in an orderly manner, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and the assistant next to him kept wiping his sweat with a towel.
Obviously, the cold air in the room was full of cold, and even so, sweat soaked the work clothes.
The forensic doctor's hand is like the most sophisticated instrument, and the sharp knife accurately cuts through the white flesh and draws a thin line of blood.
His movements are clean and unshy, and his expression is normal, as if he is cutting meat on a cutting board with a kitchen knife.
In addition to so many corpses, the forensic doctor has been able to keep his face from changing, and even let him eat next to the corpse with ease.
As the chest cavity of the deceased was all opened, and the internal organs were also visible, it seemed that all the secrets were exposed to the incandescent light.
Corpses can't speak, but they can convey a lot of information.
Based on the corpse spots, the time of death of the deceased, the wounds or organs on the body surface can be determined, and the cause of his death can be determined.
Soon, the forensic doctor's face changed slightly, and his originally calm expression was broken, revealing an unbelievable expression.
The assistant beside him couldn't help but ask, "Is the corpse tricky this time?" β
The medical examiner did not speak, and his expression gradually became solemn.
When he got to the back, the fold between the forensic doctor's eyebrows was almost enough to trap a mosquito, and he said in disbelief: "How can this be?!" β
"It's so weird."
Seeing this, the assistant on the side couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what's wrong." β
The forensic doctor's expression was a little solemn, he was already sweating profusely at the moment, and it was clear that the assistant had adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner to the lowest.
"Go get the instrument next to you."
The modern and delicate instrument was attached to the corpse, and looking at the data on it, the forensic doctor looked shocked, "I don't understand, I've never encountered this situation." β
At this moment, Sun Zhenbang outside is anxiously waiting for the results of the test.
Seeing the forensic doctor coming out of the autopsy room, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" The autopsy results are none. β
The forensic doctor is also an old friend of Sun Zhenbang, and he glanced at him with some complaints.
"Why is it so tricky every time you send a corpse? It seems that in the future, I will put up a sign, 'Officer Sun sent me, will not accept anything.'" β
Forensic doctors have been in this business for decades, handling thousands but hundreds of corpses, dissecting countless dead bodies, and seeing a lot of various strange causes of death.
But every time Sun Zhenbang sent it, it was always able to refresh his lower limit.
originally thought that the first two times were enough to make people weird, but now the six bodies sent over surprised him again.
Sun Zhenbang also had a sad face, "Don't make fun of me, this time there is an ultimatum directly from above, be sure to let me find the murderer." β
The forensic doctor shook his head, "I think it's a bit hanging." β
"Okay, let's not talk about that, tell me about these corpses."
The forensic doctor didn't talk nonsense, and went straight to the point, "The time of death of these people was preliminarily determined to be at 2-3 o'clock in the morning, and the time of death was about the same, as for the cause of death."
The forensic doctor paused and continued: "It should have been killed by lightning?" β
His tone seemed a little uncertain.
Sun Zhenbang couldn't help but widen his eyes, and subconsciously asked, "Thunder slashed and died?" β
As we all know, if they were really killed by lightning, there should be obvious scars on the surface of their bodies, but these people look intact on the outside, and they don't look like they have been struck by lightning at all.
Looking at the situation of these corpses, Sun Zhenbang shook his head, "They don't look like each other. β
"But according to the results detected by the instrument, it was indeed killed by lightning, and I also dissected it, and the internal organs failed, everything is in line with the sequelae of the lightning strike."
The instrument can't go wrong, not to mention that the forensic doctor has also adjusted it a few times, and it is possible for a living person to lie, but not a corpse.
The forensic doctor showed a bewildered expression, "This wound doesn't look like an electric baton, nor does it look like a natural thunderbolt. β
If it is a natural thunder, then there will definitely be traces of burns on the body surface, and the eyebrows and hair will be like black charcoal.
Sun Zhenbang carefully observed the wounds on the corpse.
It stands to reason that things like ordinary electric batons don't electrocute people, and they don't look like natural lightning strikes from the wound marks.
The forensic doctor and Sun Zhenbang studied for a long time, but they did not find out what kind of items discharged electricity caused the death of these people.
"So you mean, I still don't know what the murder weapon is this time?"
The forensic doctor spread his hands helplessly, "I've done my best, according to my experience, we can't even find the murder weapon, let alone the murderer, just like the previous two times." β
The causes of death of these people are all different, the only thing they have in common is that the wounds are very strange and the murder weapon cannot be found.
"I really don't know how the murderer did it, but it's a high-IQ criminal figure, ordinary people can't do it. Anyway, does it have anything to do with the previous two cases, could it be the same person?"
The medical examiner was chattering a lot.
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
Sun Zhenbang suddenly raised his voice, "What were you talking about just now?!" β
The forensic doctor looked sneered, "I said the same as the previous two cases"
"It's not this sentence, it's the above sentence."
"How can ordinary people do this?"
Sun Zhenbang was a little depressed, chewing on this sentence repeatedly, "Yes, how can ordinary people do this." β
The forensic doctor looked at him suspiciously, not knowing which tendon was wrong, "Hey, are you okay?" β
After shouting several times, Sun Zhenbang came back to his senses, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just thought of something." β
There were also human traffickers who poached before, and the villagers at the bottom of the mountain said that it was the mountain god, so it can't be a mountain god this time.
Sun Zhenbang rubbed his temples, the matter of the murderer and the murder weapon here has not been resolved, and the archaeological team has sent back news that Professor Zhang has something to look for him.
By the time Sun Zhenbang rushed back, Professor Zhang had been waiting for a long time.
"Professor Zhang heard that you have something to do with me?"
"Comrade policeman, I am here to report a situation to you, I suspect that the tomb robbers have also hidden some cultural relics, I hope you must be strictly interrogated, and let them hand over the other part of the lost ones."
Sun Zhenbang's face was a little embarrassed, "I'm afraid our police can't do this." β
After all, they don't have any supernatural powers, after all, people are dead, and it is impossible to judge the dead.
Professor Zhang was suddenly a little anxious, "What does this mean?" β
"Because the grave robbers are all dead."
Professor Zhang was dumbfounded, he didn't expect such an answer, "Why did you die?" β
"It can't be black eating black, or they have infighting, right?"
"For what you said, we are still investigating, I can't say more about the specific situation, but we will send additional people to search the neighborhood to see if any cultural relics are lost halfway through."
"I'll let you know if there's an update."
The police have also considered the situation that Professor Zhang said earlier, but judging from the clues they have found so far, they have not found a second wave of people.
As for the infighting, everyone dies and suffers the same wounds, and it cannot be ruled out that someone secretly did the trick and escaped after confusing the police.
If such a person really exists, why didn't he take all those cultural relics with him, this is another question.
"Then I'll bother you."
The members of the archaeological team were also surprised to learn that all the tomb robbers had died, and they all discussed it there.
"No wonder the police caught people so quickly, it turned out that they were all dead, or on the way down the mountain."
"I heard that there seem to be 6 tomb robbers, why are they so strange, and they all died at once."
"Could it be that they have some kind of illness?"
"What kind of tomb robbers are you doing when you are sick, even if you are sick, it is impossible to attack at the same time, if you want me to say that they should be infighting."
"Could it be that the spoils are unevenly distributed, and there are some differences, so they kill each other."
The crowd who was discussing enthusiastically did not notice the figure slowly approaching behind them.
"Ahem, ahemβ"
Professor Zhang coughed lightly, which immediately startled them, "Professor, why did you come here, Professor." β
"Are you all idle? There is still a part of the tomb that has not been excavated, and instead of working, you gather here to talk. β
Everyone hurriedly apologized, "Professor Zhang, I'm sorry, let's go to work." β
Immediately they scattered like birds and beasts.
Since the entire tomb was only half developed, the people simply set up tents nearby and set up camp here for archaeological work.
The jungle is deep, and tall trees shade the sky and the sun, like a green canopy, shedding patches of shade, and not far away, small mushroom-like tents rise from the ground.
The vicinity of the tomb has been fenced off, and from time to time people are shuttling through it with tools, everyone doing their own thing, and everything seems to be in order.
The archaeological work was carried out in an orderly manner, and no one noticed that in the deep forest not far away, a pair of faint beast pupils were watching their every move.
Ye Qin saw all this in his eyes.
As he expected, not only the tomb robbers, but even the archaeological team came later, and it was supposed to excavate the entire tomb.
Not to mention that the nearby construction was a little noisy to him, disturbing the purity of his cultivation, and it was easy to be exposed.
Moreover, if all the tombs are dug up, it is easy to destroy the local feng shui.
Ye Qin still wants to cultivate here, and now that there are so many people, there must be some inconvenience, and it will be even more affected in the future.
There is another question that makes Ye Qin linger.
He got the alchemy tripod and some scriptures from the hands of the tomb robbers, and in some ways, he could be regarded as receiving the love of the tomb owner.
This cause and effect still has to be repaid.
Since his cultivation, Ye Qin has paid great attention to this kind of thing, and he doesn't want to owe cause and effect, so as not to affect his future cultivation.
Although the nature of archaeology and tomb robbery is different, the former is for conservation and research, but for the owner of the tomb, no one wants their grave to be excavated after their death.
So for Ye Qin, in fact, tomb robbers and archaeological teams are the same nature, both of them are digging people's ancestral graves, how can there be good or bad?
Is the archaeological team considered a good guy? Do good people dig someone else's grave?
Therefore, for the archaeological work on this mountain, Ye Qin did not intend to let them continue.
Since he will get the tomb owner's things by fate, he might as well make a move this time.
Ye Qin looked at the tent of the archaeological team and others not far away, and there was an unknown light flashing in the snake pupils.
β¦β¦
As night fell, the archaeological team also stopped working, after all, the lighting at night is inconvenient, and it is easy to damage the tomb if you are not careful, and you have been working all day during the day, and everyone also needs to take a proper rest.
In the silence, a silver glow flowed quietly and fell on the top of the tent, and the mountains were dark, and the bright moonlight became the only source of light.
A few black shadows could be seen in the moonlight, slowly approaching the tents.
Li Mingxue, as Professor Zhang's apprentice, is also a member of the archaeological team, but this is his first time on a mission, and it can be said that he is full of enthusiasm.
At this moment, Li Mingxue was sleeping soundly, but there was a constant clicking sound in his ears, which was not obvious at first, and the feeling was looming.
It sounded like some creature scratching something, and it sounded like grinding teeth.
Originally, he didn't care, but the voice became louder and louder, and it seemed to be close at hand, as if it was ringing in his ears!
Li Mingxue was excited, opened his eyes suddenly, and the whole person became sober.
At that moment, all the sounds disappeared, and it seemed that it was just his delusion.
He rubbed his eyes, pulled out the tent, and the bright moonlight shone down on the mountains, and everything seemed so quiet and peaceful, and there was nothing unusual around him
"Could it be that I slept in a daze and was just dreaming?"
Li Mingxue was talking to himself, and he didn't see a few animal hairs falling outside the tent.
After checking it out, he pulled up the tent again and prepared to go back to sleep.
However, this was only the beginning, and whenever he was about to fall asleep, the stabbing sound sounded again, and the tormentor could barely sleep.
When he opened his eyes, there was nothing, and he couldn't find anything abnormal at all, Li Mingxue turned over and over, and this state lasted until dawn, and the sound disappeared.
The next day, when the archaeological team was about to start work, it was found that there seemed to be a few people missing.
Professor Zhang looked around, "Why didn't Mingxue come?" β
"When I passed by his tent, it seemed that there were still people inside, so I guess they were still sleeping."
"He has always gotten up early, and he is the most diligent, why did he oversleep this time."
Just when everyone was wondering, Li Mingxue finally came late.
Looking at the black green in front of him and the huge bags under his eyes, the other members couldn't help but joke:
"Mingxue, you shouldn't have secretly gone to the tomb to work behind our backs last night, this is a work record that you have not slept all night."
In the face of everyone's ridicule, Li Mingxue looked miserable, and he couldn't help yawning.
"Don't say it, I heard a strange noise all night last night, which made me have a nervous breakdown, and I barely slept at dawn."
Everyone was scattered, and although they were all in the vicinity, there was still a little distance between the tents, and there were small tents for single people and large tents for sleeping together.
Li Mingxue lives in that kind of small tent.
The others looked at each other and said, "Strange noises? Why didn't we hear it, it didn't seem like there was anything else going on yesterday. β
Li Mingxue sighed, "Maybe I heard it last night." β
When night fell again, Li Mingxue wore earplugs well, and he didn't sleep well at night, which even affected his work during the day, and almost made a mistake.
However, God didn't seem to intend to let him go like that.
The familiar snapping sound was heard again, and it was getting louder and louder, and the tiny earbuds didn't do much.
Li Mingxue opened his eyes suddenly, his expression a little painful.
I suspect that someone is playing a prank, but everyone is a team, and they usually get along well, and there have been no disputes, so they can't use this method.
But it is unlikely that he will have auditory hallucinations.
The voice seemed to be against him, and every time he closed his eyes and was about to go to sleep, it would suddenly sound, and when he opened the tent, there was nothing.
Li Mingxue lay down, but this time he didn't completely close his eyes, he wanted to see what was going on.
Time passed bit by bit, and just as Li Mingxue's eyelids were about to fight, a small black shadow approached the tent.
Here it comes!
The sleepy insect instantly ran out of the clouds, and the whole person was also refreshed.
The dark shadow that could be seen through the tent was not large, and it was not possible to determine what the creature was by its shape alone.
What is it that is harassing you three times and twice?
Li Mingxue had some doubts in his heart, and said that it was too late, and then quickly, his hands fell on the zipper, and he pulled it suddenly, he deliberately left a small opening before, and it was not closed tightly.
This will pull down quickly.
The black shadow also noticed its actions, and hurriedly flashed to the bushes next to it, and at the moment of lightning, Li Mingxue also saw clearly what the black shadow was.
It turned out to be a weasel!
Li Mingxue didn't expect that it would be a weasel who harassed him last night.
However, it ran too fast, and Li Mingxue couldn't catch up, so he could only angrily pick up a stone from the ground and throw it towards the bushes.
"Don't let me see you again!"
I didn't expect it to be this weasel.
Li Mingxue returned to the tent, and the stone in his heart could finally fall, thinking that he would be able to sleep well.
But he didn't expect that after he turned around and entered the tent, the weasel actually went and returned, and a small head appeared again, and there were countless shadows behind it, which looked so weird.
At this time, it was already the second half of the night, there was no such stinging sound, Li Mingxue was sleeping soundly, but a burning breath sprayed on his face.
It was as if someone was gasping for breath.
But this is a single tent, how can there be a second person besides yourself?!
After realizing this, Li Mingxue only felt that his scalp was numb, and the whole person was sober.
A cold wind was blowing from behind, which proved that the tent had been unzipped and he remembered that he had closed it before!
In the darkness, it was as if something was watching him, and the gaze was very obvious.
Li Mingxue slowly opened his eyes, but what caught his eyes were countless pairs of green and faint beast pupils!
Like a ghost, staring at himself without blinking.
Countless weasels surrounded him, almost encircling him.
Even if he was a big man, he couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, that kind of scene was too exciting, constantly impacting his reason.
Imagine sleeping in the middle of nowhere, only to open your eyes and find yourself surrounded by weasels.
"Ahh
An earth-shattering scream pierced the silent night sky and quickly caught the attention of the others.
Many people woke up from their sleep, turned on their flashlights, and found that the screams came from inside Li Mingxue's tent.
Just as they were about to rush over, a scene that would never be forgotten appeared in front of their eyes.
Dozens of weasels ran out of Li Mingxue's tent and quickly sank into the bushes next to them.
Everyone was stunned, and they didn't react for a while, and when they came back to their senses, there was still the shadow of a weasel in front of them.
"Oops! Mingxue won't have anything to do. β
The small single tent was a mess, with falling animal hair and footprints everywhere, but fortunately, Li Mingxue's appearance was not obviously scarred, and everyone was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief.
Everyone helped him out, probably frightened, Li Mingxue's expression was a little sluggish, it seemed that he could only sleep in other people's tents tonight.
"How could there be so many weasels all of a sudden?"
Everyone was puzzled, it stands to reason that small animals like this are afraid of humans, and listening to Li Mingxue's narration, those strange noises last night were also made by weasels.
After being seen by the archaeological team, those weasels simply didn't hide at all, and appeared in front of everyone with a big grin.
Li Mingxue's thing was an introduction, and soon other people also heard the sound of stabbing and grinding their teeth at night, and they almost couldn't sleep.
Because there is no rest at night, and there is work during the day, the whole person can't keep up the spirit, everyone is yawning, and the bags and dark circles under the eyes are the same.
This has seriously affected the archaeological process, and some people have even dozed off and almost damaged a cultural relic.
"Professor Zhang can't continue like this, he works very hard during the day, and at night he is harassed by those animals, and he can't rest well, even if he is beaten with iron, he can't stand it."
"Yes, Professor Zhang, we have to find a way to solve these things quickly, we are here for archaeology, not here to boil eagles, we can't bear it at all."
"Professor Zhang, look at our dark circles, we are almost catching up with the national treasure."
Many people came to Professor Zhang's side to complain, but Professor Zhang had no choice but to kill all these animals in order to carry out the work smoothly.
And these animals are very smart, they hide when they see people, and they don't slip away, which makes people wonder if they have become sperm.
This matter has not yet been resolved, but it has not been settled, and it has risen again.
"Oh no, Professor Zhang!"
An archaeological member ran over in a panic.
Professor Zhang asked helplessly, "What's the matter?" β
"The villagers said they couldn't do the job and didn't plan to do it."
There is one more more, a little later, continue to write
