Chapter 8: Heads
Zhao Qi returned upstairs with a red head and a swollen face, and after sitting down, he gasped and stared at me wide-eyed.
Shen Qing and I were upstairs, across the road from the opposite side, but he had already run to him, and he was shocked more strongly than me and Shen Qing when he saw the black-faced man disappear.
"Don't ask me, I've said everything I know. I can't explain anything else. "I didn't wait for him to speak, I told the truth.
It turns out that the first three disappearances of black-faced men, including last night, were not my delusions.
Although I am only a half-ghost, I have never heard of a ghost with three white eyes, appearing on the road in the middle of the day, and then suddenly disappearing.
After finishing the meal, Zhao Qi settled the account, walked over and hugged my shoulders and said:
"Brother, I'll go back and do the puzzle, but I won't say it's a clue you provided. But there is one thing I have to say, whether it is criminal investigation or your technical police, our ultimate goal is to restore the truth. The method and process are not important, the focus is on getting the victim to redress his grievances and bringing the murderer to justice. There's nothing bigger than human life, right? ”
Zhao Qi left with Shen Qing, and Sang Lan staggered to my side: "I think what he said is quite right." ”
I glanced at her, "Then you go and tell my teacher?" ”
She turned her head away and said nothing.
When I got into the car, I asked her, "What did Mr. Ye say about you?" ”
"He said that I drank the medicine he dispensed, and the fire was gone, and he should be fine."
"What did he say about last night?"
Sang Lan hung his head and said, "He said he couldn't see what I had, and I couldn't say why, and he couldn't make up his mind." ”
I nodded: "Don't make judgments, the old gentleman is a person with real skills." ”
Seeing Sang Lan's gloomy face, I thought about it and asked, "Think back, has anything special happened recently?" ”
"Nope."
"Have you ever had any more contact with those masters?"
"I didn't, never!" Sang Lan said anxiously.
"Have you ever been to a cemetery, a murderous house, or anything like that?"
"Nope!"
"Have you ever had another facelift?"
"No ......"
"How many times have you been there?"
"I ......" Sang Lan reacted and punched me on the shoulder: "Get out, you just had plastic surgery!" ”
I nodded: "Yes, that's what I want." If you're listless all day long, let alone haunting, people will bully you. Where to? I'll send you. ”
……
The next day, I was farting with a buddy in the office, the phone rang urgently, Zhao Qi called, saying that there was a case in the back street of the old city, let us go to the police with the team.
The police car stopped at the corner of a small street in the old city, and Shen Qing said in surprise: "Isn't this the road of the landlord's house?" ”
I was also a little surprised, walking into the side street, and when I came to the shop with the cordon, Shen Qing and I were stunned.
The scene of the crime turned out to be the funeral shop of the landlord Lao He.
As soon as I entered, I saw Lao He's hands handcuffed behind his back, squatting there with a sad face.
He saw me too, and was anxious to get up, but was stopped by one of the policemen watching him.
I carried the test box and followed me to the back room, and when I saw the situation in the room, I immediately felt terrified.
On the table at the door, there was a boxy wooden box with the lid open, and inside was a human head!
Ma Li is not here, and I am not qualified for laboratory testing, so I can only help my colleagues.
I looked at the head, and the more I looked at it, the more I became more and more suspicious.
It was a woman's head, her hair shaved clean, and her eyebrows were shaved off.
The human head and face were gray, as if coated with a layer of ocean ash powder, and had apparently been stored for some time.
Zhao Qi asked me in a low voice, "Could this be the head of the corpse crushing case?" ”
I looked at the section of the human head and neck, "It should have been rolled off by a blunt object at one time, like, do you have to go back to the laboratory to compare to be sure." ”
"There are no other limb organs at the scene except for a human head, and there is no need for on-site local laboratory ......"
"Ah!!h
As soon as the colleague in charge of the inspection straightened up, he suddenly let out an exclamation, took two steps back, and sat on the ground.
The faces of everyone in the room changed.
Because everyone saw the human head in the box, and the eyes were open!
The pupils of the dead are dilated, and the eyes are unable to express feelings.
But the pupils of this human head, which had obviously been stored for a while, did not spread, but were like the eyes of a living person, filled with horror, resentment, and deep resentment......
I walked over slowly, stared at those eyes for a moment, looked around, and found nothing.
I glanced at Zhao Qi again, stepped forward, and recited the mantra in a low and fast voice:
"Heaven and earth are natural, the filth is scattered, Qianluo Tana, Donggang Taixuan, the people are waiting for others, and they are in a hurry to be born! Wait for the public, hurry and overlive! ”
After reciting it three times in a row, the resentment in the human head and eyes disappeared, and the pupils quickly spread.
I bowed to the head, meticulously closed the lid of the box, and packed it to hand over to the forensic evidence.
The colleague who was so frightened that he sat down just now covered his chest and said with palpitations: "I have been in this business for five years, and today I finally opened my eyes." No wonder Sister Li often says that sometimes we have to believe in our business......"
When I came to the front, I glanced at Lao He, who was low-eyed and drooping, no matter how I looked at it, this fat old man didn't look like a murderer who could kill people and break corpses.
I asked Zhao Qi, "What's going on?" ”
"The child next door came over the wall to pick persimmons, and when he saw a box in the house, he opened it with his hand, and found that it was a human head. The child fainted on the spot, and the child's parents called the police. ”
I looked at the persimmon tree in the yard, and then at Lao He.
Lao He suddenly jumped up: "Xiao Xu, Xiao Xu, I didn't kill anyone, I just kept the box for someone, I didn't know that it was a human head, you have to be the master for me!" ”
I had no choice but to say, "Don't get excited, the police won't wronged good people, just calm down and go back with us to explain things clearly." ”
When Lao He was escorted into the police car, Shen Qing asked me in a low voice: "If he kills someone, won't we have to pay rent?" ”
I couldn't cry or laugh: "Comrade Xiao Shen, your political consciousness really needs to be improved." ”
The results of the tests were not long in coming, confirming that the head and the mutilated body belonged to the same person.
I found Shen Qing and asked what the situation was.
Shen Qing's expression looked a little strange:
He said that the box was asked by a colleague in the yin and yang industry to help keep it, and the man asked him to keep it for three months, and paid him 30,000 yuan in advance for the storage fee, and said that there would be 30,000 yuan later. The day you took me to get the keys, he was waiting to connect with that person. The box was just delivered in the morning and ...... in the afternoon That's where we are. Now the technical department is making puzzles for Lao He. ”
I was also puzzled by listening, and only nodded after a while and said, "It seems that we have to pay the rent." ”
The door of Guo Sen's office opened, and Zhao Qi leaned out from inside: "Shen Qing...... What's that, that's right, Xu Qiu, you come in for a while. ”
Entering the office, Zhao Qi asked while handing me a cigarette:
"The suspect said that the box was handed over to him for safekeeping by a man named Lao Yin, and promised to give him 60,000 storage fees, do you know this Lao Yin?"
"Old Yin?"
I reacted and shook my head, "Team Guo, Team Zhao, I used to eat with a mouthful, and I didn't know many people in that circle." Only Liu Bing and the others took care of me and introduced me to business. I really don't know this old yin, what is his full name? I'll ask people to inquire. ”
Guo Sen paused with a cigarette on the table, "To say that this Lao He is also a fool of money, he and that Lao Yin only met once a year ago and drank once. I don't even know the name of the other party or where they live. According to him, he was there to help his friends. Actually, it's for the 60,000 yuan storage fee. ”
I was also ridiculous, and called Liu Blind and two other acquaintances in front of them.
As a result, I haven't heard of Lao Yin.
Coming out of Guo Sen's office, Zhao Qi dragged me into his office again.
As soon as he entered the door, he said, "I won't go around the bush, and now that the head is found, I will miss the heart and the female organ." What do you think? ”
Thinking of what he said in the Hunan restaurant that day, I thought about it for a while and said, "I think it may be someone who is performing some evil magic or some sacrificial ritual." ”
"Sacrifice?" Zhao Qi raised an eyebrow and looked at me.
"I used to exorcise evil spirits for others, and I didn't know how to do evil magic. However, I have read on the Internet that some cults use the blood of living people in order to achieve a certain goal. They shave all the hair off the whole body of the living before performing a memorial ceremony. The evil law aspect should be more or less the same thing. ”
"Report!"
"Come in!"
"Lao Yin's puzzle has been made!" Shen Qing handed an A4 piece of paper to Zhao Qi.
I glanced at it and my eyes widened: "It's him!" ”
