Soon, every room and every inch of the Bian family was searched, and even the water tank containing water was smashed open, and the water inside was drained.

There was nothing in the tank, but after the tank was smashed, a strange phenomenon appeared.

This tank is very large, and it has received a lot of rainwater in it.

As soon as the water tank broke, it split apart with a bang, and the water gushed out all at once.

Underneath is a small raised mound of earth, on which are weeds, and the water falls to the ground, which will be absorbed.

Ye Caitang stood aside, and then squatted down.

"Here...... Why is it a little higher than the next one? Ye Caitang didn't pay attention before: "Look, is the ground of this water tank a little higher than the next one?" ”

Water flows from the middle of the tank in all directions.

Everyone squatted down to look, not to mention, when they stood and watched, they didn't notice it, but when they squatted down, they really felt a little higher.

Ye Caitang said: "I have never seen anyone with a mound of soil in their yard. ”

And this mound is not very high, and it is very simple to dow it, so when building a house, shouldn't it be dug up? It's strange and inconvenient to keep.

Ye Caitang said this, it is indeed strange.

Xia Yue ordered: "Dig it up and take a look." ”

It's too simple, weird stuff, just dig it up and see.

The people of the six doors were very skilled in digging the pit, and soon, the fragments of the water tank were dug up together.

Underneath the dirt was a bluestone slab.

The bluestone slab was cleaned up, and Liu Sha said: "My lord, there is a well down here." ”

The Bian family has a well, they have checked it before, and it is a very normal well. But in this courtyard, there is a dry well, and this well has been sealed.

called Bian Yan, and Bian Yan explained: "This well has not been drilled, so it does not produce water." I took another bite in the front yard. ”

"And when was this well sealed?"

"Probably ......" Bian Yan thought for a while: "When I was six or seven years old." The mother said that it was not safe to leave it open, so she knocked the bricks at the mouth of the well, and then covered it with bluestone slabs, and then filled it with soil. ”

This is strange, if there are children in the family, it is indeed unsafe to have a well, but as long as the bluestone slab or a large stone is pressed, the child cannot push it away. That's what a lot of people do.

Or Tian Mingfang is really a very careful person, and he thinks that this well doesn't come out of the water anyway, and he feels really worried about sealing it, and it should be sealed when the child is young, and it should not be sealed when the child is three or four years old, and he is six or seven years old, don't you think it's a little late?

Xia Yue said decisively: "Open the well." ”

The bluestone slab was removed, and a swarthy wellhead appeared in front of him.

Wang Tong looked at it, and then he almost vomited after being smoked.

"What kind of smell is this......" Wang Tong jumped out of three zhang away, and he vomited again and again, it was too unpleasant.

"A space that has been sealed for many years and does not breathe will smell bad." Ye Caitang sympathetically gave Wang Tongyi a candy to taste: "Open the lid and look at it again after a while." ”

Xia Yue threw a stone into it, and let out a very light, dull pop.

Sure enough, there was no water in the well.

Everyone waited outside for a while, and the smell in the well was almost gone, so Xia Yue let people go down.

The well was so shallow that the two officers jumped off without even tying a rope.

As soon as I jumped down, I heard a rattling sound, as if I had stepped on something.

Xia Yue was about to ask, when he heard the messenger already shouting.

"My lord, there are bones here, and there are bones of dead people."

The man who worked at the six gates was not afraid of the dead, and after being startled, the servant began to collect the bones, although the well was not high, but he could not hand it over with his arms straightened. If you throw it directly, it is a bit disrespectful to the deceased.

So they tied a basket with a rope and put it into the well, and asked them to put the bones in the basket and pull them up.

The bones fell to the ground, and Ye Caitang picked up a piece and looked at it: "This must be a human corpse, this is an adult's leg bone." ”

The young and beautiful girl's house, holding a leg bone and looking at it carefully, actually looks quite penetrating.

Bian Yan was stunned as he looked at the baskets of bones brought up from the well, and his face turned pale: "This, what is this, I ...... How can there be dead people in my house. ”

At this time, a skull was transported up from the well, dripping and round, this time Ye Caitang did not need to be sure, even if it was a reshape, he knew that it was a dead man.

Bian Yan finally sat on the ground under the deterrence of Sen Sen's head.

Xia Yue motioned for the messenger to take him away first, so as not to pee his pants.

Ye Caitang had already put on gloves, roughly wiped the mud on the bones, and began to make puzzles.

The messenger groped at the bottom of the well for half an hour, and finally dug up a few baskets of mud from the chaos, and finally gathered a pair of bones.

And a stone.

"My lord, this stone is also quite strange, the ground is full of soil, and then it is just such a stone, very abrupt."

The stone is an ordinary stone, not too round and angular, very dirty, dug out of the silt, Wang Tong pinched and looked.

From bones to stones, there was a strong smell of rancidity.

Ignoring the stones, Xia Yue stood beside the bones: "How is it?" ”

"Two hundred and six bones are all gone." Ye Caitang put together the last phalange: "From the pelvis, this is a male." Looking at the run-in of the leg bones, the age should not be very old. His mortal wound is ...... here."

Ye Caitang picked up the skull.

Because of the time, all the soft tissues have rotted and turned into silt, leaving only hard bones.

In the back of the skull, there is a broken hole.

"Good." Wang Tong said: "The human head is very hard, and this time it smashed a hole, but it took a lot of effort to kill it." ”

Ye Caitang nodded: "Yes, and there is, and there is only this fatal wound." It can be seen that the murderer's determination is very firm, and he is not soft at all, and he succeeds in one blow. ”

Xia Yue padd his hand with a piece of cloth and picked up the stone taken from the well.

Of course, it is impossible to fit tightly, but the size and shape of the sharp part of the stone can be matched with the size and shape of the broken part behind the skull.

Xia Yue said: "This stone should be the murder weapon, after the murderer stoned the man to death, he threw it into the well, and then threw the murder weapon into it." ”

They didn't even have to think about who this man was, in the case of that year, two people were missing.

He Baishi and Gong Li.

Now that Gong Li has found it, she has been imprisoned in the Bian family.

What about He Baishi, the man who was stoned to death in this well, nine times out of ten it is He Baishi.

Xia Yue said: "Can you see how long this person has been dead?" ”

If you have modern instruments, you can easily measure it. But now the conditions are insufficient, and Ye Caitang can only rely on experience.
