Things are always changing.

The people who were still talking to them in the morning were only an hour or two.

The people are gone.

Although Chen Xiao and Chen Yuan have contradictions.

Lao Chen was also disputed by Chen Yuan's cousin.

But when he saw Chen Yuan, who was pressed under the stone lion, covered in blood and out of breath, Lao Chen was still stunned.

Life is fragile, so fragile that it only takes a moment.

After Chen Xiao said a word to Lao Chen gently, he walked to the front with Lin Xi.

When looking at the crowd of onlookers with a frightened face but did not disperse, Chen Xiao shouted:

"Uncles, folks, let's retreat first to leave some places. I have already informed the criminal police of our county bureau to come, and the big guy will either go home or don't walk around this gate at this time. ”

If it was just Chen Yuan who was crushed to death by a stone lion.

It can only be regarded as an accident, and there is no need to notify the police.

However, when the stone lion fell, it broke off, and a human head fell from the fracture.

To be precise, it was the human skull that fell.

The skull of a human being is in a stone lion, which was not carved out of stone such as granite or marble.

Instead, it is a mold that is poured with cement and then poured!

If it is directly made of granite or marble, even if it falls from a high place, the weight and sturdiness of the stone lion itself are not enough to break it in half.

Therefore, the fact that this stone lion is a model poured with cement also made Chen Xiao have doubts at this moment.

However, he didn't think much about it for the time being, and everything in front of him was already very sure that it involved a criminal case.

The villagers also listened to Chen Xiao's words, and after retreating one after another, Chen Xiao walked to the side of Chen Ding, who was lost in his soul.

He noticed that the stone lion should have been hoisted first and then put on the car to be transported.

But it should have been the carelessness of the person who operated it, causing the rope to break and the stone lion fell from a high place, which happened to hit Chen Yuan's body.

Chen Xiao was also embarrassed in her heart, patted Chen Ding's shoulder, and said, "Get up first, Uncle Yuan is already out of breath." ”

Chen Ding turned his head blankly like a machine, glanced at Chen Xiao, and said, "How can this be?" How so? ”

Chen Xiao couldn't respond to this kind of words.

Xiaobo's father, who is also Chen Xiao's cousin, beckoned a few men from his own family at this time and picked up Chen Ding.

After waiting for Chen Ding and Chen Yuan's other family members to be pulled away, Lin Xi walked to Chen Xiao's side:

"The skull has been around for a long time, at least a dozen years. Although I didn't systematically study forensics, I should have been a man judging by the skull. ”

While speaking, Lin Xi kept looking at Chen Xiao.

When the information of gender and male came into his ears, Chen Xiao couldn't help but look at Lin Xi.

Under the intertwining of the eyes of the two, they both showed the same color.

They don't think it's going to be such a coincidence!

"You put the skull away first, and I'll organize someone to get Chen Yuanbo out first." Chen Xiao spoke, and Lin Xi nodded and waited for the arrival of the criminal police of the county bureau.

After a while, Chen Xiao and the strong men in the village together broke away the half-cut stone lion that was pressing on Chen Yuan's body.

Looking at Chen Yuan's appearance again, it was even more tragic than when he was pressed.

The stone lion fell obliquely, and the edge of the base first smashed into Chen Yuan's waist, and then the lion's head landed on Chen Yuan's head.

Whether it was a fall from the waist or a blow to the head, Chen Yuan had no chance of living.

Chen Xiao asked someone to bring a sheet, and after covering Chen Yuan's body first, he walked to the fracture of the stone lion.

The fracture is clearly visible with a cavity of the skull in the middle.

But don't think about it, the skull must have been put in when the stone lion was poured.

Therefore, the first thinking when encountering this situation is naturally to think about who poured the stone lion at that time.

Find that person, and the mystery of the skull has a certain chance of being solved.

Chen Xiao continued to check, and kept patting the stone lion's body, wanting to see if he could easily find out if there were human bones inside the stone lion first.

However, after a few shots, the police from the county bureau also arrived.

When they came to see the scene, they were also shocked.

Lin Xi immediately walked over to negotiate with them: "Hello everyone, I am Lin Xi of the Criminal Police Team of the Hongshan Branch of Dongzhou City, this is the skull that fell out of the stone lion. ”

The name of the criminal police captain who led the team was Li Hui, and when he heard Lin Xi's name, he immediately became serious: "Hello Comrade Lin Xi, I am Li Hui, the captain of the criminal police team of the county bureau, I only heard your name before, and this is the first time I have seen me." ”

After Li Hui finished speaking, he asked, "I don't know if your husband Chen Xiao has come back this time?" ”

Lin Xi secretly snorted at Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and also walked over; "Hello Team Li, I'm Chen Xiao."

When the policemen behind Li Hui heard this, they all looked at him.

Everyone seems to remember Chen Xiao's appearance clearly.

Chen Xiao didn't want to waste time, so he said directly: "When you call the police, does Team Li know the general situation?" ”

Li Hui nodded slightly: "It is said that the stone lion has been placed for more than ten years, right?" ”

"Well, I checked it just now, there should be no other bones in the stone lion, and even if there were, it should be some small bones."

Li Hui glanced at the stone lion: "I have already brought someone here, and it seems that the stone lion is so heavy that it can only be operated on the spot." Mr. Chen is from here, and he bothers you to help. ”

"No problem, I've been on the spot. One of the deceased was also a cousin of my own family, and I will assist you from the side. ”

Li Hui was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly called someone over: "Xiao Huang, you follow Mr. Chen now." ”

Chen Xiao nodded at Officer Huang, who hurriedly said, "Then Mr. Chen, let's go to the relatives of the deceased to find out?" ”

"He should have calmed down a lot by now, I'll take you to the house."

Chen Xiao led Officer Huang into the house, while Lin Xi stayed behind with Li Hui to inspect the broken stone lion and another stone lion.

When he arrived in the house, Chen Ding had calmed down a lot.

Seeing Chen Xiao and the police coming in together, he quickly got up and said, "Chen Xiao, I don't know who that skull is, I just asked my mother and everyone in the family, and I don't remember anything." ”

"Don't worry, now that Officer Huang asks you, you just need to answer according to the facts." Chen Xiao replied.

He was a little worried now, the situation of the stone lion couldn't be only known to Chen Yuan, right?

If so, wouldn't this clue have to be painstakingly investigated?

Officer Huang took over the topic and asked, "What year was the stone lion placed?" ”

"It should be '91."

"What about the specific month?"

"Around the Dragon Boat Festival in 91." Chen Yuan replied.

Officer Huang nodded: "Where did the stone lion come from?" Who delivered it? And who produced it? ”

"At that time, I was in the field, and my old father was in charge of the placement of the stone lions, so I didn't know where he bought it from, who he delivered it to, and who produced it."

Although Chen Xiao and Chen Ding are cousins.

But Chen Ding's age is not young, he is already in his forties.

In Chen Xiao's branch, there is also a cousin who is older, who is almost eighty years old.

However, this situation is very common in the countryside, Chen Yuan is in his sixties, and Chen Ding is in his forties.

If Chen Xianzu, the youngest son of Chen Yuan's family, had not died, he would have been many years older than Chen Xiao. After all, Chen Xianzu had already graduated from high school and was going to college.

And Chen Xiao is only twenty-three years old now, and he was not a little wave at that time.

After Officer Huang recorded the information Chen Ding's words, he continued to ask.

Chen Xiao didn't say a word, and stood silently thinking next to him.

But at this moment, he saw Lao Chen also walking to the door, as if he wanted to come in.

Chen Xiao walked to Lao Chen's side knowingly and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?" ”

Lao Chen covered his heart and said, "Chen Xiao, I'm very nervous, do you think the owner of that skull will be Uncle Wande?" ”

Chen Xiao smiled: "Dad, how could it be?" Didn't you personally send Uncle Wande to the car? ”

"That's what I said, but Chen Xiao, don't forget the dream he gave me. He said he was very uncomfortable, he was holding back very bitterly. At first, I didn't understand, but when I saw the stone lion, I suddenly felt that it was unbearable to suffocate! ”
