Three people and one ghost solved 43 mysterious cases.

Drive for an hour and arrive at Qinjiang Village.

A large village with a circular outer wall and a city gate with a history of 1000 years.

The village chief was waiting for Xu Wenshan at the city gate. He waved to the car, "Park the car here."

Outside the city gate, there was an open space with several cars parked. Judging from the license plates, the forensic investigators had arrived.

There is also a bus and several Buick commercial vehicles, all of which are black.

After Xu Wenshan got off the bus, the village chief led him into the village.

There are hundreds of houses built very densely in the village. They are all two- and three-story ancient houses with white walls and blue tiles. At first glance, each house looks similar.

Moreover, there are a total of 99 alleys in the village, which are irregular, with two or three forking roads every few dozen meters.

Each alley is 1.5 meters wide at its widest and only one person can pass at its narrowest. There is no transportation in the village, so you can only walk on foot. It is intricate and intricate, like a maze.

If you are an outsider, you will definitely get lost here.

The strangest thing about this village is that there is a mountain in the village.

To put it simply, a mountain stands in the center of Qinjiang Village.

All the houses in Qinjiang Village form a ring surrounding the mountain.

The mountain is not high, about 100 meters. The mountain is not big either, covering an area of ​​about twenty hectares.

There are several vegetable fields on the mountain and there is running water.

Xu Wenshan was confused by this, but the village chief explained the development history of Qinjiang Village:

1000 years ago, an exiled foreign tribe came here and settled here.

They took the mountain as the center and continued to expand the house around the mountain to form a ring.

A sentry post is set up at the highest point of the mountain. Someone stands on the sentry post and patrols it every day. If there is an invasion by a foreign enemy, it can be discovered immediately.

Once a foreign enemy is discovered, all city gates will be closed. Form a closed loop.

Even if the foreign enemies all guard outside the village and seal the village, they will not be afraid.

There is running water and land on the mountain to grow vegetables, which can provide survival guarantee for the tribe.

Even if foreign enemies break through the city gate and enter the houses inside, the structure of each house is the same, and the alleys are very narrow and can only be walked.

Foreign enemies will definitely get lost in this village.

The tribesmen know the structure of the village very well. When they find that the city gate is lost, they can immediately escape to the mountain in the center of the village.

With the mountain as the high point, foreign enemies must climb the mountain if they want it, while the villagers shoot arrows and light fires to make the final resistance.

How exquisite. Xu Wenshan admired the wisdom of the ancients in his heart.

.

Along the way, they saw several elderly people, about 70 or [-] years old, sitting in front of their homes smoking dry cigarettes.

"How many people live in this village?" Xu Wenshan asked.

"There are more than 200 villagers, but most of the young people have moved to the city. The city is so nice. It has everything. Don't walk so much. Haha, there are more than 100 people in the village now, most of them are old people, oh, and there is also a film crew. "

"The crew?"

"The crew often comes to the village to film, and dozens of people flock in every time. The houses here are good, and the ancient architectural structures are very realistic for filming. Moreover, the crew knows how to use the house, give money, and... Ask the villagers to cook and even live in the village.”

"Is the crew here now?"

"Yes, a crew just came here a few days ago. They seem to be filming some kind of supernatural movie."

The bus and commercial vehicle we just saw at the entrance of the village turned out to be from this crew.

.

After walking for 10 minutes, they reached the center of the village and saw the mountain.

There are more than a dozen stone paths and stairs leading up the mountain, but some are dead ends, which also come from the exquisite design of tribes 1000 years ago.

Xu Wenshan followed the village chief and went up a stone staircase.

The road was quite difficult and it took almost 10 minutes to reach the top of the mountain.

In an empty place stood the remains of an ancient wooden sentry post.

The sentry post collapsed and was destroyed by fire. At this time, several colleagues from the forensic department were surrounding the collapsed sentry post, examining a body.

This is the first scene where the body was found.

It was the villagers who called the police. At four o'clock in the morning last night, some villagers were awake and saw a fire at the sentry post on the mountain.

So someone was called, and several villagers went up the mountain to take a look. They found the body and hurriedly called the police.

The first police officers and medical examiners rushed to the scene.

After seeing the charred body, preliminary examination showed that the deceased was male and about 1.7 meters tall.

Thin build, about 45 to 65 years old.

Who is the deceased?

The police officers judged that it was not easy to climb this mountain, and the deceased was probably a villager in Qinjiang Village.

The village chief then called all the villagers together and counted them one by one. He found that a man named Hu Pengsheng was missing.

Hu Pengsheng, 60 years old.

His ex-wife and son settled in the United States more than ten years ago. He lived alone in Qinjiang Village. Now he suddenly disappeared. Hu Pengsheng is likely to be the deceased in the case.

The body was burned "evenly". The cause of death was suffocation, and no black smoke was found in the chest cavity of the deceased.

In other words, someone first stunned the man and strangled him to death, then poured alcohol or something on the man's body and set fire to burn his entire body.

Burning the body, he was already dead before it was burned.

Murder is a murder.

The mountaintop at the scene is speculated to be the first scene of the case, but there is too little evidence left at the scene.

There are footprints everywhere on the top of the mountain, a mess.

After seeing the fire on the mountain, many villagers went up the mountain. Some people also fetched water to put out the fire, which destroyed the evidence at the scene.

The forensic doctor was also helpless. It was difficult to carry the body out. The road down the mountain was too narrow.

In the end, the medical examiner and his colleagues agreed that the body could only be stored here and preserved.

They will extract evidence and take it back for testing, and they will also take some equipment with them to the mountain.

Afterwards, the village chief took the forensic doctor and police officers to Hu Pengsheng's home.

One window is open.

People living here have no habit of guarding against theft. They are all from the same village, so there will be no outside thieves at all.

The officers entered the house through the window and opened the door.

When a group of people entered, the house was not neat and messy, just like a place where a 60-year-old man should live.

There are some health medicines on the table, and a few pieces of clothing are thrown on the sofa. There is a cup of cold tea on the coffee table.

Colleagues from the Forensic Department found a toothbrush and some hair in the bathroom and took them back for testing.

Although the identity of the deceased has not yet been determined, various signs indicate that the deceased is likely to be Hu Pengsheng.

.

Okay, let's wait until the specific test results come out.

Xu Wenshan was about to leave, but when he was leaving the village, he met three people walking towards him, holding large and small bags in their hands.

Yao Ruolan, Fat Man, Thirteenth Sister.

Xu Wenshan was stunned and asked, why are you here?

Yao Ruolan said, let's come here...to breathe in spiritual energy.

Hey, she was a little embarrassed when she said this.

It turned out that the crime team had nothing to do during this period, so the fat man suggested that they go to the mountains to inhale spiritual energy.

Inhale spiritual energy? Thirteenth sister asked.

The fat guy said, of course, the air in the mountains is good and the magnetic field is strong. Thirteenth sister, you usually use your brain too much and need to recharge. And our crime team hasn’t had a holiday for a long time, so let’s go together.

The fat man made a guide and found that Qinjiang Village is a good place and there are B&Bs.

So Yao Ruolan took two team members to stay here for a few days. As soon as I arrived here, I heard that a murder had occurred.
