Before a cigarette was over, Lu Yongqiang's voice came: "Team Chen! There is a discovery! ”

Seeing this, Chen Yi stepped on the half-smoked cigarette and walked quickly to the survey position, and what caught his eye on the ground was a very obvious luminol reaction, and the blue light showed that there had been bloodshed here.

Even if it rained once, the sensitive luminol reaction still clearly restored the scene, confirming that what Chai Wenfang said was true.

"Team Chen, here."

Lu Yongqiang continued to spray the reagent, and the luminous range was not only in this small piece, but also extended crookedly in thick lines towards the gate of the City God Temple, and soon reached the steps.

Chen Yi followed Lu Yongqiang and walked slowly, stepped on the steps, and finally stood at the gate of the City God Temple.

There were still glowing lights on the ground, and they were all traces of blood.

"After killing someone, dragged the victim into the temple?"

It was Qin Fei who spoke, and the current situation was obvious, and that was it.

Chen Yi did not respond, and motioned for Lu Yongqiang to open the door, but now only bloodstains were found, which could not prove that the person was dead, let alone be sure that this was a homicide case.

Squeak!

The tooth-sour sound echoed, the temple door was in disrepair with a strange noise, Lu Yongqiang pushed the door and continued to spray the reagent, the blue light changed direction and extended to the right hand.

Chen Yi stepped into the gate and looked up, the vicissitudes of life and ruin came to his face, and under the reflection of the moonlight, it could be seen that the walls of the temple were intertwined with mottled paint and thick dust, and the corners of the walls were overgrown with weeds, looking for life in the ruins.

The statue in the center of the hall had lost its former majesty, its arms had broken into several pieces, and like the stone lions outside the door, only a vague outline remained, and the incense burner and candlestick on the desk were also crooked, mixed with the ashes of the table.

There is no tribute.

It can be eaten by an animal, or it can be eaten by a human.

The roof was tiled, and the moonlight sloped down through the gap like a pillar of light, bringing a faint light.

Lu Yongqiang was still searching for bloodstains, but Chen Yi didn't follow, looking left and right.

This ruined temple has indeed not been visited for a long time, cobwebs can be seen everywhere, and occasionally spiders shuttle by, which is one of the few creatures in the temple.

It seems to have become a forgotten corner of the world, a home guarded by rats and insects.

"Squeak!"

At a certain moment, the panicked voice of the rat sounded, echoing in the empty ruined temple, the sound was very abrupt, attracting the attention of everyone present.

Lu Yongqiang looked sideways, walked around the load-bearing pillar and looked at the side of the column, and immediately exclaimed: "Team Chen!" There are corpses! ”

Chen Yi's eyes froze, and he strode over, followed by Lin Chen and Qin Fei.

What catches your eye is a skeleton half-leaning against a pillar, wearing a thin casual suit on the top, beige pants on the bottom, and brown casual shoes on the feet.

The corpse has decomposed into white bones, the head is very badly broken, and the soft tissues are not completely ossified on the surface, and the time of death is affected by many factors.

It takes years for a corpse buried in the soil to ossify, and a corpse exposed to the air can ossify for a short period of time, a few months, and the effects of temperature and animal gnawing are also calculated.

According to Chai Wenfang's confession, if the body was the man he saw, the time of death would be one month.

Lin Chen's psychological quality has strengthened a lot, although his heart is pounding at the moment, he is not afraid and his stomach is churning.

"Immediately notify the nearby police station and detachment, and pull up the cordon as quickly as possible."

Chen Yi stared at the corpse for a while before giving an order.

Qin Fei: "Yes! ”

……

When the time came to one o'clock in the morning, the originally desolate City God Temple ushered in a long-lost liveliness, but unfortunately this liveliness was because of a murder.

Police cars are parked all over the streets, police lights are flashing very blindly, police officers from the police station have set up a cordon on the perimeter, and the forensic doctors and trace examiners of the detachment have been put into work.

When Xin also arrived, he was discussing the case with Chen Yi and the director of the police station in the jurisdiction.

The circumstances surrounding the discovery of the body are largely clear to the latecomers.

This is a new case brought out of a fraud case, and if it weren't for the suspect's chance encounter, the body in the temple doesn't know when it will be found.

"In the past month, have there been no reports of the disappearance of young and middle-aged men?" Chen Yi asked.

The director affirmed: "Chen Zhi, don't worry, I have personally checked before I came, absolutely not." ”

Chen Yi looked at Shi Xin: "Did you bring a computer?" ”

When the new nod: "Brought it." ”

Chen Yi: "Check the missing reports within Quanyang City, and the characteristics are young and middle-aged men. ”

When Xin: "Okay, I'll go right away." ”

When he left, Chen Yi took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Guo Suo, shouldn't a city god temple like this be very meaningful to the people in the village?" How did it become like this? ”

Guo explained: "This is all preserved during the Republic of China, in the early years, the old people in the village will worship every year, and when the contemporary old people die in waves, the young people have no reverence for the ghosts and gods, and over time no one comes back." ”

Chen Yi sighed, and looked up slightly at the plaque with only the word [Cheng] left: "I chose to kill people here, I really don't know if it was unintentional or intentional." ”

Following Chen Yi's line of sight, Guo Suo also looked over and said: "Yes, most of the City God Temples are built outside the village, and it is rumored that after death, people will be dragged to the City God Temple by a force to report, called the Living Soul, which is not necessary to go, and die directly in the City God Temple." ”

Chen Yi: "Guo Suo, I need a copy of the information of all the villagers in Donghua Village. ”

Guo Suo: "I'll have someone print it out and send it over right away." ”

Chen Yi: "It's hard work. ”

Guo Suo: "It's all your own people, Chen Zhi doesn't have to be polite." ”

Chen Yi, who stayed in place, looked at the plaque for a while, then walked into the main hall and came to the pillar where the body was found.

Fang Shuyu was busy with the forensic doctor of the city bureau.

Sensing that Chen Yi was approaching, Fang Shuyu raised his head slightly and said: "The parietal bone, frontal bone, occipital bone, temporal bone, and sphenoid bone were all traumatized, the most serious is the parietal bone, the crushing area has reached 90 percent, and the fatal injuries cannot be judged, it can be said that they are all fatal injuries, and I don't know how many times I have been smashed." ”

"The percussion surface forms a circular depression-like fracture with a large number of arc-shaped fissures, typical of hammer injuries."

Hammer injury is a legal term, and the forensic doctor's conclusion is completely consistent with what Chai Wenfang said.

Looking at the shattered corpse skull, Chen Yi said to himself: "What kind of revenge is this, as for smashing so hard, it's still a woman." ”

Fang Shuyu was surprised: "The murderer is a woman? ”

As soon as she arrived, she began to conduct an autopsy, and she did not know about the fraud case Chai Wenfang for the time being.

Chen Yi nodded: "It should be, the witness said that it was a woman, and there was no psychological pressure when she killed someone, and she smiled at the witnesses, and she kept smashing for a short period of time, and she didn't care whether the victim was dead or not." ”

Fang Shuyu was wearing a mask, and her brows furrowed: "Crazy, right?" How much this hates the dead. ”

Chen Yi: "The probability of vendetta is extremely high, is there anything on your body that can prove the identity of the deceased?" ”

Fang Shuyu: "No, no mobile phone, no ID card. ”

Chen Yi didn't ask any more questions, so he could only rely on missing person reports or visits to determine the identity of the deceased.

Judging from the clothes, the deceased should be a very decent person, and after disappearing for a month, no one should care, right?

He left the temple and went outside, where the trace inspector was surveying the scene of the first crime, and the ground was full of digital signs.

The rain washed away too many traces, and it took luck to get useful clues.

Half an hour later, when Xin got out of the car to find Chen Yi and informed the other party that there was no eligible missing report within Quanyang City, this result was somewhat beyond Chen Yi's expectations.

Is it unlikely that a decent man will be unaccompanied and unprovoked, missing for a month and left unattended?

Could it be an out-of-tlander?

"Do you want to check around?" When Xin also realized the possibility of outsiders.

Chen Yi nodded: "Check, don't forget to pay attention to the missing person information database." ”

When new: "Okay, I know. ”

Only those who are officially listed as missing will be uploaded to the national information database, which is two years, and those who are still missing after two years will be declared missing by the police and entered into the missing persons archive.

For the deceased, there is a possibility that they will disappear incognito.

The investigation and search continued until 5 a.m., when the deceased had been transported back to the city bureau for a full autopsy, and the search area at the crime scene was expanded to several miles, and no eligible murder weapon was found.

The only gain is the footprints left in the temple.

Thirty-eight yards.

The footprint is small, the rise and fall feet are light, there are many scratches, the forefoot pressure surface is more uniform, and the footprint edge is complete, which is a very obvious female footprint.

Suspected murderer.

Chen Yi informed everyone to close the team, and it was time to rest, and he took Qin Fei Zhuoyun and other police officers to prepare to enter the village, and he had already obtained the information of all the villagers in Donghua Village.

Working overnight is a common occurrence for criminal police, and this is the main reason why capable young police officers are appreciated by their leaders.

The older ones have to nap in the middle of the night and be sleepy, and they still have to investigate some cases.

Front-line investigation is also a job to eat youth.

Early in the morning, it was six o'clock.

The sun woke Donghua Village from dawn and gradually regained its vitality, and villagers passed by one after another, starting a busy day.

Occasionally, the crowing of chickens and the sound of cattle and sheep can be heard, playing the morning song of the countryside.

In the distance, smoke rises from the cooking heat, and many families are cooking breakfast.

No one knew what was going on at the temple outside the village, no one knew that so many police officers arrived last night, and all the villagers stretched their waists to greet the new day.

Chen Yi and his entourage walked into the village and casually stopped a farmer carrying a basket on his back.

"Uncle, do you want to ask something?" Chen Yi smiled kindly.

The villagers were surprised and looked at a few people: "What's the matter, young man?" ”

Chen Yi took out the portrait: "Do you know this woman?" ”

The villagers' eyes were not very good, so they took a closer look and nodded, "Yes, we are a dumb person in our village, and his brain is not very good." ”

Chen Yi's smile narrowed slightly: "Where is she?" ”

The villager looked back in the direction of the village and said uncertainly, "Huh...... It's hard to say, she usually runs around the village, I really don't know where she is now, why don't you go to the front and take a look, that's it, do you see a small earthen house? Usually she sleeps in it. ”

Chen Yi looked over, determined the location of the earthen house, and asked, "Is that her home?" ”

The villager smiled: "No, the dumb man has been in the village for a long time, and no one knows where she came from. ”

"That earthen house, once belonged to a single old man in the village, had no children and no daughters, and after he died, the house was empty, and the dumb man lived in it."

Chen Yi: "Oh...... You just said that the dumb brain is not very good? ”

The villager nodded: "Yes, it's a bit of a problem, it's a fool." ”

Chen Yi: "Does she have a name?" ”

Villager: "No, everyone calls her mute." ”

Chen Yi: "Okay, thank you. ”

The villagers did not respond, and left with baskets on their backs.
