Chapter 2: The Mystery of the Post Station (1)
I jerked my head back and followed my senses.
Under the white miserable moonlight, I only saw the wind and grass, but there was no human figure.
Hehe, I should be too sensitive.
I said to myself with self-deprecation.
I really can't describe how I feel right now, from the moment I saw the body in the forensic laboratory, my heart was already in turmoil.
I didn't think much about it, I turned around, jumped up the wall and climbed into the courtyard twice.
As soon as I entered, I saw Dou Dabao at the back door, with his hands on his knees, pouting and looking at something.
When I looked closer, I saw that he was looking at the fixed line of the scene traces marked on the ground, that is, the circle of white lines drawn along the corpse or evidence at the scene of the crime.
"The thief died here." I looked down and said something subconsciously.
"Did you think of anything?" Dou Dabao asked me suddenly.
I was stunned: "What? What do you think of? ”
Dou Dabao squeezed his eyes at me: "This meeting made me think: As soon as I came in, I saw Chang Wei calling for blessings!" ”
I was stunned again, and then I reacted, he said the lines in the movie "Jiupin Sesame Official".
Dou Dabao straightened up and patted me on the shoulder:
"Hehe, don't be so nervous, relax. You and I both believe that the little charter lady will never harm anyone. In that case, why are you nervous? ”
I really have nothing to say in the face of this buddy.
Not to mention, for me, in the middle of the night, huddle in the grass nest to feed mosquitoes, this affection is not something that can be described in words.
"Leave this alone, come in, don't step on the trail."
I said something in a hurry, took out the key and opened the back door, and walked in quickly.
"Cha Cha!" I went straight to the shrine on the first floor and picked up the big back doll on it, "Cha Cha, come out!" ”
I shouted several times in a row, but the doll didn't respond.
Dou Dabao walked over, stared at the mud doll for a while, shook his head and said:
"This doll is dead, Cha Cha is not in it."
"Cha Cha is not there?"
"Hmm." Dou Dabao pointed to his eyes: "It can be said that it is feeling, or it can be said that it is seeing, Chacha is really not in it." ”
"Cha Cha is gone...... "My mind is even more messy."
I put the clay doll away and looked carefully at the furnishings in the house, and found that several cabinets under the shelves had been opened, and they were marked by the police.
Dou Dabao pointed to the white arrow on the ground and asked me what that meant.
I said that it was an annotation of the footprint that had been extracted but not identified, and that the pointing of the arrow represented the direction of the footprint.
As soon as I explained it to him, I was stunned.
As the 'head of the household', Zhao Qi, Ma Li and others still avoided me to a considerable extent, and almost did not disclose the situation to me.
But I still know very well the process of the police investigation of the scene.
There are no marks of the deceased's footprints and fingerprints in the house, which means that most of the deceased also climbed in through the back wall and died in the courtyard before entering the house.
But since the dead thief didn't enter the house, why did those fingerprints be made on the shelves?
You know, those shelves are full of tablets, and even I just opened the cabinet at random when I first moved in and looked at it, and I haven't touched the things on the shelves much since.
Seeing that I was stunned, Dou Dabao asked me in a low voice if I had found something wrong.
I reacted and said uncertainly:
"Judging by the markings, the thief who came in here is not only the deceased, he may have accomplices."
Dou Dabao glanced at the shelves, pursed his lips and said:
"I'm guessing his accomplice either has a problem with his IQ or is a pervert."
I looked at him puzzled.
Dou Dabao said: "If you are a thief, will you be stupid enough to think that the head of the household will hide valuable things on the first floor, and still hide them under the spirit card?" ”
I really couldn't organize a complete logical picture in my head, so I could only shake my head, "Don't move, I'll go upstairs and have a look." ”
After thinking about it, I didn't feel at ease, so I still let him come with me.
When I went up to the second floor and saw the neatly stacked beds, I subconsciously gritted my teeth.
Xu Jie is used to tidying up the bed after getting up, even after taking a nap, she will fold the quilt.
Wrong.
According to the examination of the body, the time of death of the thief should have been around three o'clock in the morning.
Xu Jie should have been at home at that time, if she found someone coming in, and because of 'impulse'......
There's no way she's going to go back upstairs and make her bed after something like that happens, right?
She wasn't home at the time?
At three o'clock in the morning, she was not at home, where did she go?
When did she leave......
"There are many fewer 'Baidao Road' upstairs than downstairs, and they are almost the same, does this mean that there are not so many people upstairs?" Dou Dabao asked.
I nodded and slapped the forehead.
Dou Dabao asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"I didn't ...... It's nothing. I shook my head feebly.
When I was taking notes during the day, Shen Qing asked me if there was anyone else in the house, and I said no.
But the forensic evidence has already been collected on the spot, and it is easy to find out that I am lying.
I'm really messed up, otherwise I would never be stupid enough to do such a cover-up thing.
Dou Dabao looked around again and whispered:
"Do you want to see if you've lost anything of value at home?"
"What the do I have anything of value." As I spoke, the man had come to the closet.
opened the wardrobe, but saw that Xu Jie usually wore almost no clothes.
I was in the extreme chaos, took a deep breath, closed the closet and said to Dou Dabao, "Let's go." ”
Dou Dabao was by no means stupid, sighed, and walked downstairs.
I took one last look into the room, and I couldn't tell what I was feeling, so I shook my breath and turned to go downstairs.
Just went down a few steps, and suddenly, I heard Dou Dabao scolding downstairs: "! ”
Immediately after, there was the sound of heavy objects colliding.
My heart tightened, and I ran downstairs in a hurry, and saw Dou Dabao sitting on the ground, covering the back of his head with one hand, and pointing out the back door with the other:
"Don't let you run away! Catch him! ”
I saw the situation clearly, didn't bother to ask, and ran out.
I was about to run out of the door, when suddenly, a fist popped out from the right side of the back door and slammed it into my face.
I quickly raised one hand to block, and with the other arm bent, I judged it to smash it in the face of the person who had sneaked up on me.
As soon as his elbow touched the entity, before it could be settled, a sharp pain suddenly came from his waist.
"Fuck you!"
Holding back the pain, I grabbed the leg that had hit my side with my hand, and bent down to carry the attacker in my whole hand.
"I'll fuck your uncle, I'll kill you!" Dou Dabao eased up, jumped up and rushed up.
But before he could rush out, I felt a hand grab the belt on my lower back, slammed it, and then the whole person took advantage of the momentum to flip from my shoulder to the front, and at the same time his other hand grabbed my lower waist clothes, and directly lifted my shirt and backpack off and covered my head.
My vision was obscured, and my heart trembled, and I hurriedly threw myself to the ground, while opening my arms to hug the man's legs.
With his hands in the air, Dou Dabao's voice came again: "......"
Then came a cry of pain.
I threw myself on the ground, rolled twice to the side, and pulled my shirt and backpack off my head with my backhand.
Before he could get up, he saw Dou Dabao holding his stomach and shrinking under the courtyard wall and convulsing.
There was no third party in the courtyard except for the two of us.
"How are you?" I jumped to Dou Dabao's side with my hands and feet.
"Don't ...... Leave me alone...... Ya ran over the wall, chase after it! Dou Dabao covered his stomach with one hand, pointed to the top and grinned.
"I can't catch up." Seeing that there were no external injuries on his body, I breathed a sigh of relief, closed my eyes hard, opened them, and helped him up.
"Fuck, this grandson is a thief!" Dou Dabao rubbed his stomach and scolded himself.
"What just happened?" I asked.
"I just came downstairs and I just got a face-to-face with him! Baseball cap, wearing a mask, can't see the face clearly. Before I could react, he grabbed me by the hair and slammed the back of my head against the door. ”
Dou Dabao rubbed his head vigorously: "I thought I would run away after he beat him, but I didn't think that this grandson didn't jump off the wall when he went out, and shrank on the edge of the door waiting for us to come to Yin!" ”
"How are you?"
"It's okay, the door is wooden, the door is not broken, the head is fine. The last kick was so hard that I almost got my stomach kicked. Dou Dabao gritted his teeth and said, "Don't chase Ya anymore?" ”
I shook my head, "I can't catch up." ”
I didn't see the other party's appearance clearly from beginning to end, but in this sudden confrontation, Dou Dabao and I were two against one, and obviously still suffered a loss.
The other party has such skills, if you want to run, just by climbing over the wall this interval, you will definitely run away.
"What now?" Dou Dabao asked me.
"Let's go first, let's go back." I said decisively.
It seemed that the whole thing was more complicated than I thought, and I don't know what happened to my family during my absence.
But the facts tell me that this family is no longer stable.
There is no need to drag your brother in an unknown situation and risk not knowing where to go.
"Let's go? Do you want to sweep away the footprints we just made? Dou Dabao asked.
I shook my head: "This is my home, and you come here often, the more recognizable and familiar the traces, the less likely they will be suspicious." ”
"Then pick up your stuff."
Listening to Dou Dabao, I realized that when I ripped off the backpack just now, the zipper was torn open in half, and the contents of the bag spilled all over the ground.
I picked up my jacket and stuffed it around my waist, picked up my bag again, and picked up the scattered bamboo knives and other items and put them back in.
I couldn't help but grit my teeth because of today's series of changes, and suddenly I heard Dou Dabao's 'huh'.
"What's wrong?" I asked, looking up.
I saw that he was raising his face, looking in a certain direction with a look of surprise.
I subconsciously followed his gaze and looked at it, and I saw that outside the courtyard wall, there was an old magnificent building.
My heart trembled violently, and I slowly turned my head and looked at Dou Dabao who was squatting on the ground again.
I saw him holding a wooden sign in his hand, holding up a finger and pointing at the towering ancient building-style building outside, dumbfounded and speechless.
Looking at the wooden plaque again, it was actually one of the two peach charms I had kept in my bag.
The peach charm engraved with the word 'Fu'!
"How can there be an extra building for no reason?" Dou Dabao stared at me with round eyes.
I reacted, looked at Gu Lou, and bit my lip hard.
Feeling the pain, he turned his head and looked at him:
"I'm not asleep right now, but we're ...... We've come to the Yin-Yang Station! ”
