Return to 1983 and be a detective

Lao He saw Xu Shan's expression in his eyes and smiled: "If you want to solve the case, you have to overcome many difficulties. It is impossible for clues to come to you on their own initiative. Many clues often require a lot of hard work. Find."

Of course Xu Shan knew that what Lao He said was right, but after all, he was not someone who limited himself to being a detective.

So he hesitated for a while and then said: "Forget it, let's wait and see. Anyway, let's see what's going on with this case first. It won't be too late to find him when we can't solve the case."

Lao He didn't say anything more and left with a cigarette in his mouth.

Xu Shan stayed alone in the conference room, and he also fell into deep thinking.

Indeed, he seems to be a bit too selfish. Although he is not a detective, he is now enjoying welfare. Without the reputation of a detective, do you think those big guys would provide him with such good conditions?

And it's not a big deal for him to visit Mr. Xiang. Young people don't even think about face.

Thinking of this, he got on his bike and went to the Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company, where he bought two bottles of good wine. He then went to the small market next to the cinema and picked up a few old goods, including a knife of raw-edged paper and a piece of yellow cloth. I packed it and took it with me to Xiang's house.

Mr. Xiang is writing at the moment, but he can't write well no matter what he writes. You can't blame him for this. When Xiang Jinsong got married, Mr. Xiang was so humiliated that he almost died from anger. Now he still has some sequelae. , that is, my hands are shaking a little when writing.

He wrote about home and everything being happy over and over again.

Then ball up the paper again and again.

At this time, Xiang Xuemei from the Xiang family came to report that Xu Shan had come to visit him.

He snorted to the old man: "What is he here for?"

"Anyway, I see that he is carrying a lot of things in his hands. He is probably here to apologize? Master, have you seen him?"

He pondered to the old man for a moment and put the pen on the pen mountain: "You call him over."

Xu Shan soon met Mr. Xiang.

He chuckled a little awkwardly and said, "Old man, are you always good?"

"Stop doing this with me. What does my happiness have to do with you?"

"You can't say that. You are the ballast stone in the criminal investigation world, a Taishan and Beidou-level figure. You have to live a strong life."

"What do you mean by this? Are you cursing me to die early?"

Xu Shan quickly patted his mouth: "Look at my mouth, I really can't speak."

"Okay, stop pretending. You kid doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. You are the one who holds the incense in your hand and burns it. Tell me what you have come to see me for."

Xu Shan quickly put down his things: "It's really something, isn't it? Old man, have you heard about the Yihu murder case?"

"Yihu murder case? I have some impression. What's wrong? Wasn't this case settled more than 20 years ago?"

"Isn't that right? It was said that it was settled more than 20 years ago, and now it has come out again. It is also the Yihu murder case. Do you think this is strange or not?"

When the old man heard this, he immediately became interested: "So you are asking me about this Yihu murder case?"

"You are worthy of being like Taishan Beidou. You guessed it all at once."

Mr. Xiang glared at Xu Shan: "If you can't speak, just speak less."

"Okay, you tell me, I'll listen."

"Speaking of the Yihu murder case, I still remember it very clearly. It happened 25 years ago. I remember that in the Changshengqiao Village of Zhuhai, there was a rich man named Deng. This rich man Deng was in the past. At that time, it can be said to be a representative of the unkindness of being rich, you know the rooster crows in the middle of the night, in fact, that matter was written according to this rich man Deng."

"Uh, didn't it mean that it was written about a rich man from the Northeast?"

"Anyway, I heard from the villagers that the rich man Deng did a lot of evil. Later he was liberated and his land was distributed to the poor. However, he still refused to give up. It is said that he was also connected with those guys on the other side and even hid it secretly. There were a lot of earthen guns, and it is said that there were also some San Ba ​​Da Gai and the like.

On the surface, he had restrained himself, but secretly, he was colluding with the bandit Ye Chengzhi who ran into the mountains at that time, and planted a lot of smoke in the mountains.Then he sold the cigarettes to other villagers in the village. Several families became addicted to the cigarettes, and he took back the land they had just allocated..."

"Is there still such a thing? Hasn't it been a long time since we were liberated?"

"Longshui is a place far away from the sky, especially the Bamboo Sea, which is at the junction of three regions. It's like a golden triangle. On one side is Jinwu District, on the other side is Xiyang District, and on the other side is Jinsheng District. Jurisdiction, if the three places cannot jointly handle the case, they will all have somewhere to go.

This Deng Laocai, in addition to seizing other people's land, also fell in love with other people's beautiful girls and insisted on marrying other people's girls to his stupid son. In the end, he actually let him do it.In fact, everyone knows that his stupid son has no understanding of human affairs at all. In fact, this girl was married to him. "

Hearing this, Xu Shan couldn't help but cursed: "Old Bangcai, you deserve to die."

"Yes, many people in the village scolded him that way at the time. Not long after, this guy was actually killed by Yihu. His head and torso were gone, leaving only his limbs and internal organs."

"This is the same as the current case, with the same handling method. Old man, do you think there are people who specialize in learning this method of killing?"

"Such a weird killing method must not have been learned. But if you say it wasn't learned, then why do the same corpses appear after so many years?"

"Old man, do you know the inside story? Or how did you guess it before?"

"Speaking of which, we have indeed made a lot of assumptions before. I think the closest hypothesis is some kind of sacrificial ceremony, which requires removing the ribs and head. In fact, after doing this, the limbs and internal organs were naturally left behind. "

Is that the case?

Xu Shan thought about Mr. Xiang's hypothesis, and then asked: "Is there any religion that needs to do this and do it so cruelly? I have never heard of it."

"Of course you have never heard of it, but 25 years ago, it was the beginning of three difficult years. Because of natural disasters, those superstitious people became active again. They did not dare to come out openly, but in Zhuhai, it was almost A place that is left alone is convenient for them to move around."

I guess this is something related to the evil sect.

Xu Shan knew a lot of information about this evil sect in later generations. These anti-intellectual and anti-scientific things are very popular in some countries, but in our country, they cannot make waves.

Of course, in the early 80s, there were serious troubles. There was even a leader of the evil sect, who was obviously a blind fortune teller. He actually proclaimed himself emperor, took 55 girls as concubines, and "founded a country." After nine years of absence, "Guozuo" was finally discovered during the census, and the three policemen from the police station were arrested.

Well, Xu Shan calculated in his mind that it seems that the blind emperor has started to rebel now. If there is a chance, he might as well catch him and kill him as a warning to others, so as to prevent more self-proclaimed kings from appearing in the next few years.

Xu Shan was also very interested in the ceremony that the old man told him: "Then did you catch the people of this evil sect?"

"Ahem, originally we wanted to investigate in this direction, but who knew that at this time a butcher came out and surrendered. The butcher's knife he took out matched the wounds on the corpse. The situation he confessed was also consistent. Only The motive for the murder was mysterious, but he said that Yihu was possessed and asked him to do this. Considering the social impact at that time, the higher-ups put heavy pressure on us, so we had no choice but to close the case quickly."

"I heard that the butcher suddenly had a tiger head mark on his body. I wonder if this is true?"

"The thing you mentioned does exist, and the tiger head mark did indeed suddenly appear on the butcher's body after he was imprisoned in the detention center. Many of our comrades were frightened when they saw this situation. It was so serious that they thought it was some kind of witchcraft. Some people even thought that if the butcher was really possessed, he should not have been punished to death, but it was a pity that he was executed by firing squad in the end. By the way, how did you do it this time? Do you know about Yihu’s murder?”
