Chapter 13 Nine-layer Corpse Cauldron

Bao Yuqin almost screamed on the spot. Fortunately, he remembered my advice and covered his mouth tightly, not daring to make any sound. I raised my hand, and a piece of white flame burst out. The mice fled in all directions. Most of them followed the original path and fled back to the opposite yard. I pulled Bao Yuqin, whose legs were weak, and followed closely behind the fleeing mice. I watched them all flee behind the room on the left side of the courtyard. Turning around and taking a look, I saw a rat hole under the edge of the house. I asked, "Who was this room rented to before?" Bao Yuqin stammered: "No, no, I haven't rented it. This is where Mr. Wang lives. He's not allowed to rent. It's always locked. He hasn't been back for almost two years. Why, how could he have such a problem?" What a big rat." "Your man is under this house. Find someone to dig it out. It's best to call someone from the police station before digging." "Buried under here? Did Wang Laoguang harm my family?" "It's hard to say who caused the harm, but he must be down here. Let's find someone to dig it up and take a look." "Oh, oh, I'm going to call someone!" Bao Yuqin was so scared that her legs were weak. After hearing what I said, she didn't know where she got the strength, so she ran away. Although she was old and fat, she ran very fast, and she disappeared in the blink of an eye. I went over and rubbed the soil in front of the mouse hole, then brought it up to my nose and smelled it. There was a faint but creepy fishy smell. I took out the medicine powder from my pocket and sprinkled it on the entrance of the cave, then walked around the three rooms clockwise, finally stopping at the position corresponding to the hour, and looked up at the sun. The sun, the room and my location form a standard right triangle. The sunlight was barely able to fall on that room. Dark under the lamp. The most yang line is the most yin line! It's not about refining corpses, it's about making pills! This Jincheng is really an evil place. The last time I was discovered here, I encountered people collecting raw materials and making livestock. This time I came across the people collecting raw materials and making pills. I really have a bad bond with this ghost place. Just as I was thinking about it, I saw a large group of people coming huffing and puffing on the road in the distance. Bao Yuqin took the lead, followed by the old policeman from the village entrance police station on the left, an old man with a gray beard wearing a coat on the right, and behind him a large group of young men wearing red armbands. She has brought the joint defense team here. When we got closer, Bao Yuqin introduced me, "Mr. Zhou, this is Lao Cao from the police station, a serious and well-established old police officer. This is our village party secretary Tao Danian. Tell me how to dig." Party Secretary Tao Danian looked at me with some suspicion, "Are you the gentleman invited by the He family? You are quite young." Bao Yuqin was not happy at that time, "Old Tao, what do you mean? You are young, as long as you have the ability. My family has given me a dream, so hurry up and ask someone to dig it out, or let my family talk to you tonight." go." "Hey, hey, don't worry, I didn't say I wouldn't dig, I just wanted to say hello to Mr. Zhou. Lao Cao, please say something." "Ah? Ah! This old man Wang is not here and he has no evidence, so he just digs up people's houses. This is against the rules." "My family's talk about dreams doesn't count? Then let him go to you tonight and tell him..." "Dig it, dig it, just pretend I didn't say it." The two old men retreated, obviously not wanting to see Bao Yuqin's family. Bao Yuqin won a great victory and turned to look at me, "Mr. Zhou, dig as you say." "Don't move the house first, just dig diagonally downward from the mouse hole behind the house." Bao Yuqin immediately waved his hand, and the joint defense team started digging with spades and pickaxes. I dug diagonally down to about four or five meters, and then dug a hole through the ground. An indescribable stench came out of the cave, causing all the joint defense team members to lie on the ground and vomit. The police officer, who was squinting his eyes and looking attentive, suddenly opened his eyes wide when he smelled the smell. He stared at the hole and took a closer look and said, "Stop digging. This is the smell of corpses. There are corpses inside." ! Secretary Tao, keep an eye on it, don’t let anyone touch it, I’ll call the office.” After saying that, he turned around and ran away. When he came back, he brought two vans full of police officers, and the entire police station came. The noise was so loud that it alarmed many people in the village. The old and young came to watch the excitement, and a sea of people surrounded them. The police kept all the irrelevant people outside, leaving only the joint defense team members to serve as helpers. This time I dug aggressively and soon the dug hole was completely opened. The strong smell of corpses filled the air. Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them. This is a narrow cellar. Nine corpses were neatly stacked inside. Every three objects formed a triangle and were stacked three levels. The surface of the corpse showed a strange waxiness and was covered with gnawing marks. Surrounded by people, the fat rat stood upright and was not afraid of people. It just stared at everyone with its blood-red eyes. This is a group of rats that eat human corpses and are fattened, so they are not afraid of humans. In their eyes, humans are just food. The director's face turned pale and he asked everyone to stop moving and prepare to call up to report. I walked close to Lao Cao and said, "Comrade Cao, ask your director to dig deeper. There should be corpses." As soon as the police station team arrived, Lao Cao stood aside, holding a cigarette in his mouth and holding his sleeves with the crowd watching the excitement. When he heard my words, he glanced at me in surprise and said, "Is there any more under the cellar? " I said with certainty: "There are at least two more layers! Just dig down along the cement layer diagonally like just now." Lao Cao threw the cigarette under his feet and extinguished it, walked to the director and whispered a few words. The director glanced at me, frowned and asked a few more questions, then returned to the cellar and instructed the joint defense team to continue digging diagonally down according to the method I told them. Sure enough, two more levels of cellars were dug out. There are nine corpses stacked in three layers in a triangle shape in each cellar. Twenty-seven in total. Shocking case! The faces of everyone present were as white as ghosts. The director immediately called and reported to the superior. After the call was made, three more carloads of people and a truckload of armed police arrived, and the scene was tightly surrounded. Even the joint defense team members who had been involved were rushed out. Those who took pictures and those who collected evidence were extremely busy. A middle-aged man wearing a leather jacket arrived last in a Jetta. After listening to the report on the scene, he looked at the bodies in the cellar, turned around and chatted with Lao Cao, and then he and Lao Cao ran towards me. . "Mr. Zhou Cheng, right?" This middle-aged man had a calm and authoritative face, but he was extremely polite when he spoke. He took the initiative to reach out to me, "Xing Da, Zhang Baoshan." "Captain Zhang, hello." I briefly shook hands with Zhang Baoshan and waited for his next words. According to conventional wisdom, I am actually considered one of the key suspects, and I might be pulled back for questioning. But to my surprise, Zhang Baoshan said: "I didn't expect that I just heard about Mr. Zhou's name. It's really fate that I can meet you in person so soon." I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows and asked, "Did Comrade Gao say that?" Zhang Baoshan said: "I used to work in the railway police, and Lao Gao was my master. He called me last night and introduced me to you to take a look at the old problem." "You have to keep an eye on me and don't let me cause trouble, right?" I said this with a smile, but I was secretly glad that I had a good relationship with Gao Quan, otherwise the treasure mountain would not have this attitude today. Zhang Baoshan laughed and said, "How could that be possible? What my master meant was that Mr. Zhou is a master. Don't let those ignorant young men offend you and cause trouble for nothing. I heard him say that a real Buddha appeared on that train, and even Six people jumped and three died on the spot.” I said calmly: "I heard about it too, and I don't know why I couldn't think about it so much, so I jumped out of the car." Zhang Baoshan took out the front door of the box, handed one to me, and took another one for himself. Just as he was about to take out a lighter, I rubbed my fingers together and produced a flame, which I handed to him. Zhang Baoshan was startled for a moment, then smiled, lit the cigarette, and took a deep breath, "Mr. Zhou, you just arrived in Jincheng yesterday. This case has nothing to do with you. I just want to ask you, how do you know There are corpses underneath, and we even know how many floors there are. I heard that you used some trick to let the deceased entrust dreams to his family?" When he said this, he obviously didn't believe it, and he looked at me with obvious doubt. Obviously, he said that the case had nothing to do with me, but in fact he did not really exclude me from the list of dislikers.
