Chapter 23: Weird toilet
The village party secretary counted the missing people in Dongshigu Village with extremely fast work efficiency. At dinner time, the village party secretary claimed to the special case team that no one in the village was missing. They set up a dinner party and just wanted to send the special case team away as soon as possible.
The special case team was angry at their hastyness, but could not help.
Township head Gao Ride said: After dinner, we left, and we ordered wine and food.
The village party secretary shamelessly smiled and said: It's public funds anyway.
Professor Liang asked everyone to raise some money and hand it over to the village party secretary. He said: These are the money for food, and I also paid the rent. Please ask your village committee to clean up two rooms. Our special case team plans to live in this village and will never leave unless it is investigated clearly.
Hualong quietly gave Bao Zhan and Su Mei a thumbs up, and he said: I just like the old man's stubbornness.
Gao Ride and the village party secretary did not feel embarrassed, but felt incredible. This was the first time they had encountered someone who refused to eat and drink on their own since they were grassroots cadres.
After dinner, four members of the special case team moved into the duty room of the village committee.
Professor Liang called and asked. The local police, provincial departments and relevant departments made no progress in the investigation in the other three villages. However, the forensic team further discovered that the eight deceased had mineral powder in the fibers of the clothing. After testing, it was a kind of carbon element. Eight bodies were buried in the wilderness and there was no coal in the soil excavated. This shows that the deceased might have been engaged in the excavation, transportation, trafficking, and loading and unloading of coal during his lifetime.
The special case group discussed it and everyone’s common views on this case are as follows:
1. There are more than one murderer, eight corpses, and the time span of the murder is large. It is unlikely that one person will complete the entire criminal process of killing, transporting corpses, burying corpses, and moving corpses.
2. The murderer's identity is a farmer or someone who has long experience in rural life. This can be analyzed from the way of placing the corpse.
3. The murderer is very familiar with the geographical environment of the burial place and should be very familiar with the surrounding villages.
4. Coal chips were found on the clothes of the eight deceased. Most of the villagers in Dongshigu Village went out to work and engaged in physical labor to dig coal. The special case team further determined the direction of the investigation: the murderer was most likely in this village!
Because the eight dead were buried in the wasteland, their bodies were all fǔbài and their faces were difficult to distinguish. Professor Liang planned to let the villagers identify the deceased's clothes the next day
, hope to confirm the identity of the deceased.
That night, Su Mei encountered something that made her feel creepy.
There is a public toilet outside the wall of the village committee. It is extremely dirty. The pit is made of stones. It is difficult to distinguish between men's and women's toilets. The toilet wall was originally written with lime. However, the naughty child used bricks to write the words on the toilet and deliberately confuse them.
In the middle of the night, Su Mei had diarrhea. Although she was afraid of going to the toilet outdoors, she was embarrassed to wake up Hualong and Bao Zhan, so she had to go to the toilet alone with the courage to go to the toilet.
The signs on the wall were chaotic, and there was no way to tell the men's and women's toilets at night. Su Mei shouted softly, "Is there anyone inside?"
No one answered the dark toilet. Su Mei couldn't hold it in, so she didn't care about so much. She just found a toilet and walked in.
Su Mei was wearing a pair of tight pencil pants, and her legs looked even more sexy and slender. She took off her pants, squatted down, frowned slightly. After a splash of water, Su Mei felt relieved and felt shy at the same time. The sound was too loud at night. Su Mei moved her steps, stepped on the stone of the pit, and she would slide down if she accidentally did it.
There are many cigarette butts on the ground, and cigarette boxes that have been rubbed through their butts.
Su Mei muttered in her heart: Damn, I went into the wrong toilet.
There are several gaps in the toilet partition wall, and the mud between the bricks is easy to poke open, and some bricks are loose and can even be pulled out. Most of the walls of rural toilets have holes, which is attributed to the entertainment psychology of the villagers. The voyeurism desire is blatantly released here. If you look at the women's toilet through the small hole in the wall, you may see an eyeball peeking at the men's toilet. What's even more amazing is that the two neighbors who have just greeted each other on the dirt road in the countryside.
Su Mei felt that the toilet was a bit strange and worried that she would be peeped at. She didn't dare to approach the crack in the wall to see if there was anyone in the toilet next to her. In the darkness, she felt something touching her butt. Su Mei was so scared that she was often seen in horror movies. When women were convenient, a hand suddenly stretched out from the toilet. She lowered her head and looked at it, and then she no longer felt scared. There was a branch at her feet, and she might have touched the branch by herself.
Just as Su Mei was about to stand up, a gloomy laughter came from the other side of the wall. One hand suddenly reached out from the other side of the wall, and the hand grabbed the branch and inserted it into her head.
Su Mei screamed in fear, immediately ran out of the toilet and back to the village committee.
Hualong and Bao Zhan were awakened. Su Mei was still scared and told Hualong and Bao Zhan what had just happened.
Su Mei said: Brother Hualong, my butt was seen. There are hooligans in this village.
Hualong said: Damn, this is amazing, where is the human being?
Su Mei said: Maybe I ran away while it's dark, and I didn't dare to look back.
Bao Zhan said: Did you say that person inserted the branch on your head?
Su Mei said: Yes, I also heard that man laughing, and it was so scary that I was so scared.
Bao Zhan remembered that the corpse found in the cave in the river embankment had a reed inserted into his head [31     Update Quickly]. This person who peeped at the toilet also had a move to insert branches into his head. Could this person be the murderer?
There was no one in the toilet. Two bricks on the wall were pulled out. The man stretched out his hand from the hole in the wall and scared Su Mei. There was a "people" intersection next to the toilet. The man must not be far away. Hualong and Bao Zhan decided to chase him separately.
Su Mei stood at the intersection, in amazement. There was a small forest near the intersection, and there were several piles of corn stalks and cotton stalks in the woods.
In the night, Su Mei vaguely saw a strange scene. Something was walking upright in the woods. Judging from the figure, it looked like a skeleton or a mummy. The mummy was walking in a very strange way, her upper body did not move, her hands were lowered, and she walked forward little by little.
Su Mei shouted, Hualong was nearby, and heard the sound, and the two walked into the woods to check.
There was no one in the woods, there was silence and the moonlight was like water.
Hualong questioned: Are you dazzled and scared?
Su Mei explained: I clearly saw something in the woods.
Hualong said: Hell.
Su Mei was a little scared and held Hualong's hand tightly. She said: That thing is definitely not a person, nor does it look like an animal.
Hualong took Su Mei's hand and continued to walk deep into the woods. They walked around several firewood piles and found no abnormalities. After checking the last firewood pile, they looked around and could not see a figure in the woods shining with moonlight.
Su Mei said: Will it be hidden in the corn stalk pile?
Hualong kicked the pile of corn stalks and threatened: Come out.
There was no one in the corn stalk pile. Su Mei became nervous and held Hualong's arm in both hands.
