After listening, I looked at the key in my hand, still feeling clueless, so I waved my hand to let those wandering ghosts go away. After tossing back and forth, the sky was bright, so Zhao Yu and I simply packed up and got ready to go to work. At this time, Zhao Yu's cell phone rang suddenly.
Zhao Yu's mobile phone is the one issued by the Hunting Bureau, and if this mobile phone rings, nothing good will happen. I rolled my eyes helplessly, watching Zhao Yu pick up the phone.
After saying a few words, Zhao Yu hung up the phone and sighed: "An accident happened again. This time it was a child who died. Someone dug out his glasses, and because no one found him for a long time, he bleeds to death."
"What?! Can't the murderer be caught? Why does this case sound familiar to me?" I recalled the news a few days ago, and vaguely heard a case about a boy whose eyes were gouged out, and the murderer was a relative , will be brought to justice soon. I remember that the case happened in Shanxi, why did it happen in Tianjin this time?
This cruelty is also contagious! !
Zhao Yu nodded and said: "Yes, coincidentally, this case is similar to the aunt's eye-gouging case in Shanxi, and even more coincidentally, the child also has an aunt who was with the child before the incident, but now the child's aunt is gone Yes, the child is dead. Now the police have listed the aunt as a suspect and are expanding their search.¡±
The aunt is so cruel After thinking about it, I seem to have an aunt too, but I left my hometown for Shenzhen with my uncle in the early years. This is really thanks to my aunt for not killing me.
However, I can't think of any family conflicts that can go so deep that they would take a child for surgery, and it would be so cruel to gouging out their eyes. Even if it's to vent my anger, I always feel that I can't do it like this "strange". Most people vent their anger in a hurry, that is, stabbing twice with a knife will do. This seems to be very purposeful.
So Zhao Yu and I didn't go to work at the Municipal Bureau, and rushed directly to the scene of the crime. Now the people from the city bureau seem to have gone. On the way, Zhao Yu said to me: "If it happened to be such a coincidence that the child's aunt happened to do it, then this case will probably be closed hastily."
I frowned and said, "Isn't that good? Maybe it's just a coincidence of family conflicts?"
Zhao Yu smiled bitterly: "If it's really that simple, Chief Ouyang will let us intervene in the investigation?"
I sighed: "That's true."
So the two of us searched for the place pointed by Ouyang Bo, and stopped at the downstairs of a residential building in Xiqing District. This place is obviously a newly built high-rise residential area in recent years. The location is a bit out of the way, but the residential environment is not bad. It seems to be a residential area built by the government for demolition households a few years ago. The crime took place on the fifth floor of one of the high-rise residential areas. I went upstairs with Zhao Yu, and saw that colleagues from the Municipal Bureau had already collected evidence on the spot. I was about to walk into the open door, but Zhao Yu grabbed me, pointed to the door opposite the resident where the crime occurred, and motioned me to look at the door.
I turned my head and glanced at the door opposite, and couldn't help being taken aback. There is a small mirror hanging on the door, and the position is also not high or low, facing the door of the family where the child died. This layout is very unscientific. In terms of feng shui, if such a mirror is hung at the door, it will be aimed at the door of the neighbor's house, which will easily lead to a feng shui battle between the two families, and the aura will be disordered. In the end, both sides will suffer, which will affect the fortune of the two families. If it is a gossip mirror to ward off evil spirits, it cannot be pointed at other people's doors, which will only backfire. I can't figure out why this place has such a big mirror.
I stared blankly at the mirror, and saw that the mirror just shone onto the living room, reflecting the corpse lying on its back in the living room. Like a camera, the mirror magnifies the image of the dead body in the living room, making the tragic state of the dead body appear in front of your eyes in an instant. I saw the body of a ten-year-old boy lying on his back in the living room, his eyes had been gouged out, leaving only two bloody wounds in the black hole. Blood flowed down the eye hole, and now it has dried up and stuck to the cheek, presenting an extremely horrifying and miserable appearance.
Just when I was staring at the image in the mirror in a daze, I suddenly felt that the little boy in the mirror grinned, as if distorted into a crying and laughing expression.
I was startled, couldn't help taking a step back, blinked and looked again, but what was reflected in the mirror was the busy shadow of the forensic staff. The forensic medical personnel who were busy taking pictures happened to block the corpse. How could they see it in the mirror?
I saw that Zhao Yu had already entered the door, so I followed. Walking into the living room, the victim's family members were sitting in the bedroom, the child's father was making a statement with the police, and the mother was crying. As expected, the corpse of a ten-year-old boy was lying on the floor of the living room. The image was exactly the same as the one I saw in the mirror just now. But other than that, I found something even more strange. First of all, the little boy turned out to be a steel plate.
?After asking, I found out that the steel plate has been placed in the corridor all the time. It was used by a family in the building for decoration. It was temporarily put away before it was disposed of.At the end of the corridor, somehow it was spread under the little boy's body. But apart from this, what is even more peculiar is that the child is wrapped in a red robe. This robe is very similar to a cloak in an ancient drama, and it does not belong to the child's family. It is not known where it was obtained. It is likely that the murderer wrapped it around the body, wrapping the child's body like a cloth bag. What's even more peculiar is that a very thin needle was inserted into the child's temples on both sides.
"Inducing souls to raise ghosts?!" This was my first reaction, and I immediately whispered to Zhao Yu: "Do you still remember the incident of the boy in red in Chongqing that was broken by another group a while ago? I heard that someone used this method to Raising little ghosts. Could it be that someone took a fancy to this child and used it to raise ghosts?"
Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "No. If it was to induce souls, I wouldn't do that. I remember the case of the boy in red, who used the red clothes to lock the soul, and the weight dropped the soul, one foot off the ground, so the soul could not escape with the earth. The soul needle opens the Niwan Palace to draw the soul out of the body, and then inserts the soul-dividing needle into the top of his head. Life has the effect of attracting souls, so that the child's soul can be taken away. But only the red clothes are similar, but they are not the same, and the methods are also different. This is not raising ghosts."
"The steel plate is laid on the ground, obviously I don't want ghosts and resentment to escape." I pondered: "The red clothes should also have the effect of locking the soul. But the insertion method of this needle is very special, and it has not been hung up. Gouging out the eyes. Well, the situation is really confusing."
At this moment, Zhao Yu asked the forensic doctor to bring two pairs of gloves, handed me a pair, and motioned for me to put them on. After we put on the gloves, we gently lifted the red cloak and looked at the clothes on the child. The child was indeed not wearing any clothes, but there was a very puzzling lavender mark, something like a bruise. Zhao Yu took a picture with his mobile phone, and then tidied up the cloak.
At this time, I saw that the father of the child was still talking to his colleagues in anger and sadness in the bedroom, while the mother of the child was crying beside him, saying that he suspected that his aunt did it, and that the woman had no good intentions. However, the child's father said it was hard to believe, because the aunt was very good to his child. Although the two families usually had frictions and conflicts over the issue of supporting the elderly, she would not let her do such a thing to the child. Besides, even if it was to vent their anger, it would not be possible to come up with so many tricks, such as steel plates and red clothes.
I called a colleague and asked him if he had found the whereabouts of the child's aunt. The colleague shook his head and said, "No, so far no one has been seen alive or dead. It seems that the child's aunt's family also said that she has not been seen since yesterday, and her whereabouts are unknown now."
Zhao Yu and I looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling a little confused for a moment. After going out, I always feel a little awkward when I see the mirror opposite. So I went to a family on this floor to find out who lived in this strange house with a mirror hanging across the door. Finally, I heard that all the family in this house immigrated, because the son left the country, and the parents followed. So the house is rented to someone else. However, this person seldom comes back to live. He often travels on business. When he returns home, he stays in his room and does not interact with people in the building or the community.
So I asked who the tenant is, male and female, how old is he? Is this mirror hung up by the tenant? Because I always feel that there is something wrong with the strange thing about hanging the mirror. Residents in the building said that the tenant is a woman, dressed very fashionable, not too old, in her early thirties, and has a particularly good figure. But the occupation is unknown, and the people there are also unclear. I really like to laugh with people when I meet people, but I don¡¯t have close friendships, and I don¡¯t like to socialize with people in the community.
Ask the residents what the woman's name is, but no one knows. This made me even more interested in this tenant. But the case still needs to be investigated, so the two of us came out from the scene of the crime and took a bus to Jianfu Guanyin Temple to report the situation to Ouyang Bo. Ouyang Bo kept flying around, not knowing what he was busy with, and he had to make an appointment to discuss the case.
After entering the gate of Guanyin Temple, the first thing I saw was the ancient tree. Looking at the tree, I recalled the thrilling night, and thought that this is simply the tree demon grandma in A Chinese Ghost Story. Then look at Lao Liu smilingly distributing red ribbons to devout men and women, and those who like to tie ribbons can tie a few on the tree. I squinted my eyes to look at the aura around the tree, and saw that some ribbons had streaks of golden light, which proved that the person wearing the ribbons really had faith, or was praying with good and sincere wishes. Some have gray light or no light flashing, just ordinary ribbons. When these people wear red ribbons, they may have curses or insincere intentions.
As I was squinting, Lao Liu came over and said with a smile, "Xiao Song, you were busy a while ago, and I didn't feel embarrassed to bother you. Look at the tree with so many red ribbons, or help me pick and choose. Useless take it off."
I understood immediately and said with a smile: "Old Uncle Liu, you are being polite. After reporting the work to Chief Ouyang, I will help you sort it out."
Liu Shengli smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not easy to do it clearly during the day."
I couldn't help laughing when I heard the words: "I know, we'll talk about it at night. It's not good if people who come to offer incense see it."
Old Liu immediately nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's what I mean, please, Xiao Song, I'll treat you two to eat wontons tonight!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)??, this matter is not easy to do during the day. "
I couldn't help laughing when I heard the words: "I know, we'll talk about it at night. It's not good if people who come to offer incense see it."
Lao Liu immediately nodded with a smile: "Yes, that's what I mean, please, Xiao Song, I'll treat you two to eat wontons tonight!" (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com
