[Tian Jiu Qin Shi] Picked up a cannon fodder sister

The place where the crime happened was not far away, and Guiguzi also went there.

The scene of the crime was in a house with people guarding the door, and there were layers of onlookers outside.Passing through the crowd of onlookers, Wei Zhi was about to see the scene when Gui Guzi blocked his eyes: "Don't look."

Wei Zhi gently moved his hand away, and said softly, "Sir, I'm fine."

When Guiguzi and the county guard got to know the scene, Wei Zhi also listened to it. To put it simply, the deceased was a man, and the people around him had the impression that he was ordinary and lived alone, not like he had enemies.While they were talking, Wei Zhi sneaked to the corpse. After her observation, there were no obvious signs of fighting in the room. There were several bruises on the face, legs, and shoulders of the corpse, none of which appeared on the fatal parts. Where she could see, she couldn't see some places covered by deep clothing, so she couldn't infer; based on the degree of rigor, the shape of the plaque, and the state of the cornea, she preliminarily deduced that the death time of the deceased was 48 hours; No fatal injuries were found from what she could see, and there was no obvious blood on or around the body.

"Zhi'er, what are you doing?" Guiguzi first noticed that she was looking around the corpse with gusto.

"Sir..." What can Wei Zhi do?This is her professional habit, "Sir, this person has been dead for two days."

Everyone present was shocked and asked in unison: "How do you know!"

"First of all, there are corpse spots on the corpse, and there is no obvious change when pressing the corpse spots. From this point of view, his death time is at least six hours. Secondly, combined with the stiffness of the corpse, the stiffness has faded, indicating that the death time is more than ten hours. Five hours; finally, I just took a look at the eyes of the corpse, the pupils could no longer be identified, and the cornea was obviously cloudy and day-like, which is the characteristic of being dead for two days.”

Shi was shocked: "Corpse spots? Eyes?"

Wei Zhi nodded seriously, went to the corpse, and pulled Ling Shi seriously to popularize what is a corpse plaque, the characteristics of the corpse plaque, the changes in the eyes after death, and so on.

Ling Shi looked half-understood, but Wei Zhi spoke clearly and logically, which made people dare not believe it.

"If we want to know exactly how he died, we need to conduct a further autopsy." Wei Zhi paused, and added: "It's just an autopsy."

In the end, Guiguzi disagreed with Wei Zhi staying here. He roughly deduced that this was not the scene of the first crime. Of course, the original words were that "this person was brought here by the murderer after he was killed." Then he said goodbye to the sheriff. He immediately took her away.

On the way, Guiguzi finally asked her how she knew the strange knowledge about the corpse, but Wei Zhi explained that she read it from a book.

"Zhi'er! Do you know how bad it is to lie!" Guiguzi suddenly scolded, "Guigu never collects books, even if you read a few volumes of his books while the old man was talking with the sheriff, the book There is no record of the corpse spots you mentioned. Where did you know these things?"

"Sir, Zhi'er didn't lie," Wei Zhi was about to cry with grievance, "Zhi'er really found the bamboo slips with these contents written on it, Zhi'er can show you to see it!"

In fact, as early as when Wei Zhi started to learn to write, she secretly wrote down the knowledge of modern forensic identification while they were not paying attention, and then found a place to bury it, just to prevent people from suspecting why she was so familiar with autopsy in the future; To prevent people from discovering that it was her handwriting, she specially practiced writing with her left hand, and all the contents on the bamboo slips were written with her left hand.

Now she has successfully brought Guiguzi to the place where she buried the bamboo slips, and then said that she accidentally discovered the bamboo slips here, and she learned all the knowledge about the corpse from here.

Guiguzi opened the bamboo slips and read them carefully for a long time, and finally said, "This is not what you should read." He ordered her not to read these bamboo slips again, and confiscated all the bamboo slips.

For the next few days, nothing happened.Not long after, Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang also came back.

"Brother! Senior brother!" Wei Zhi rushed over happily, "You are finally back."

She didn't finish talking because she suddenly found a wriggling white worm on Wei Zhuang's trouser leg where she could hug her. Looking carefully, isn't that the baby maggot that she often sees when she deals with rotting corpses? ?

She pulled a piece of grass and took down the baby maggot. Wei Zhuang was wondering why she stopped halfway through the run, but now he understood when she saw her grabbing the worm.How could he be contaminated with this kind of thing?Wei Zhuang felt a little disgusted.

Wei Zhi put the maggot away carefully, and asked, "Brother, where have you been?"

"You will know later." Wei Zhuang replied, because she will report to the master later, and she will know after listening.

"Brother, don't move! There's more." After speaking, Wei Zhi grabbed another one, "Have you guys been in contact with something highly corrupt? Why are you getting so much stain on your body?" After speaking, she began to check Gai Nie's clothes, "Brother, you also have small bugs on your body, not maggots, but... the larvae of the burial beetle." This makes it more certain that they have come into contact with highly corrupted corpses.

The two were so disgusted on the spot that they hurriedly took a bath and changed their clothes. Wei Zhi took advantage of this time to catch bugs and pupae from their clothes, and studied these larvae.

It took them two days to rush back day and night. Based on the length and size of these larvae, Wei Zhi deduced that what they accidentally rubbed on their clothes should be insect eggs, and some of them did not fall off with the bumps on the way back. Those that fall hatch.

By the time they reported the situation to Guiguzi, Wei Zhi had already set up a simple petri dish, and wanted to see the adults of those things before making a judgment.According to their narration, the village is not big, there are about 200 people in the whole village, and the villagers get along in an extraordinary harmony, the villagers are very warm and hospitable. From the time the people in the village first saw them to seeing them off at the end, the only abnormality was that they were too friendly, but this did not mean that they were connected with the disappearance case.Originally, they really didn't find anything suspicious, but the bugs caught by Wei Zhi made them realize that the situation was not that simple. They didn't even see a dead mouse, let alone a highly decomposed corpse.From Wei Zhi's point of view, the village they described did not seem like a real one. Since ancient times, which village has not had an aunt who gossips about the end of the village?In addition, they were obviously contaminated with scavenging insects, but they had never seen a corpse at all, so it doesn't make sense.

Being able to hide so tightly is either an expert or extremely cunning, but there is no evidence now, even bugs cannot prove that there must be human corpses there.No one can help.Guiguzi also asked the two apprentices to go back to rest, and this matter should be discussed in the long run.

Another seven days later, Wei Zhi took Wei Zhuang to the place where she raised the larvae: "Look, brother, I raised the worms I caught from you that day."

"Why are you raising these?!" Wei Zhuang couldn't accept her behavior at all.

"Brother!" Wei Zhi said, "These adult insects can prove that there must be human corpses in the place you go, not the corpses of livestock such as cows and horses."

"Why are you so sure?"

"I, I read it from those articles!"

"What article?"

"Xiaozhuang." Guiguzi's voice interrupted their conversation. "That's what she said." Guiguzi walked slowly with the bamboo slips in his hand, "I don't know who hid it, but she dug it out and read a lot."

"Master, it's my apprentice who didn't discipline her strictly, and didn't notice that she was looking at these things." Wei Zhuang was about to apologize to the master, Wei Zhi looked at the adults and complained in his heart: let them believe that what he said was true It's difficult, so what can I do, I don't have Conan's anesthesia needle and voice changer.

Guiguzi didn't think she was lying.Now it is impossible to prove whether the writing on these bamboo slips is right or wrong. The sheriff came to visit him yesterday, and specifically mentioned that Wei Zhi's judgment on the corpse last time was correct and helped them catch the murderer smoothly.

"Zhi'er, go back by yourself, the old man has something to say to Xiao Zhuang."

"Yes."

After Wei Zhi walked away, Guiguzi told Wei Zhuang that Zhi'er had studied corpses quite a lot.

"Who is hiding the bamboo slips in Ghost Valley? I don't have a clue now. The content inside is analyzing the shape of the corpse, but most of them can't be verified." In other words, they can't be sure whether the things inside are true or not. According to the sheriff, Zhi'er's analysis is correct."

Looking at the burial beetles and flies cultivated by Zhi'er, in order to prevent them from flying away and crawling away, Zhi'er had already stuck them with the gluey secretion of the plant.

"Master, do the bamboo slips you found record the knowledge of burying Jia?" Wei Zhuang asked.

"No."

Wei Zhuang still remembered that Zhi'er recognized at a glance which were maggots and which were beetle-burying larvae.If it wasn't on the bamboo slips that Master found, where did she read it?

"Master, in your opinion, is it still necessary to continue investigating that village?"

After pondering for a while, Guiguzi said, "Follow me back."

Guiguzi's arrangement this time is to re-investigate the disappearance case in that village, and this time he will bring Weizhi along.Guiguzi not only wants the two apprentices to complete the test, but also wants to know how different Wei Zhi is.

Early the next morning, Wei Zhuang, Gai Nie and Wei Zhi set off.In the evening, they rushed to the post house, where they rested and adjusted.Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang agreed that if what Zhi'er said was true, the situation there might be out of control. In case of any danger, protecting Wei Zhi is the top priority.

When Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie were the only ones, they could travel day and night, eat and sleep in the open air, and arrived in two days. Now that Wei Zhi is still young, he can't stand that kind of trouble, so they can only walk a little slower, and it took three days to get there. arrived.

After arriving at the village, Wei Zhi found that it was indeed a very harmonious village as Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang said, and the villagers all got along with each other happily, and they were indeed very friendly——

"It's really a blessing for a small place like ours to welcome two gentlemen again." A middle-aged man claimed to be the village head, and immediately ran to greet them after being notified by the villagers, "You two also brought a We are so lucky to have such a lovable child! Today we are going to celebrate the birthday of the oldest old man in the village, so please be sure to participate in such an important ceremony!"

"Thanks to the village chief," Gai Nie said, "We are bothering you again, and we hope the folks will be happy."

"Hey! Don't bother me, don't bother me." The village chief smiled and took them to the celebration site. He kept talking to Wei Zhi on the way, and seemed to like her very tightly.

No one in the village was curious about why the two of Guigu came back. Instead, they were extremely friendly and welcomed them to join the celebration ceremony.And they all showed great interest in the child Wei Zhi.The rhetoric prepared by the three of them on the road was useless at all.

As the villagers became more and more excited, Wei Zhi felt that something was wrong. They had endless topics to talk about, endless delicious food, and various entertainment activities with singing and dancing never stopped.For safety's sake, Guigu disciples never eat food prepared by others. Fortunately, the villagers don't force them.

"Brother, were the villagers like this the last time you came here?" Wei Zhi asked quietly.

"That's right." Wei Zhuang replied, "Last time they said that a ceremony will be held in the village every year to celebrate the melting of ice and snow."

With the power of the whole village, such a grand ceremony was held, and it was only [-] days since the two of Guigu left. This village doesn't seem very rich, so it looks like it can't wait to celebrate the New Year every day.

Because Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie's goals were too big, Wei Zhi tried to leave several times to investigate whether there were any hidden corpses, but was blocked by several villagers. They all showed extremely friendly smiles and stopped her. He dragged her to the center of the celebration, and even the wording was exactly the same: "Little sister, why are you in such a hurry? See how fun it is here, and there are so many delicious foods, don't leave."

Wei Zhi broke free every time and immediately ran back to Wei Zhuang, carefully observing the surrounding environment, she realized that the villagers were deliberately staring at them.

"I know what you're thinking, let's talk about it when we go back." Wei Zhuang put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her closer to him.

It is really not easy to prepare such a big celebration ceremony in a short period of time, but if all the items are prepared early, as long as the village chief gives an order, they can be taken out immediately, and the extraordinary harmony of the whole village It is not impossible to play a play for them in a short period of time.

The more he thought about it, the more he observed, the more he felt something was wrong. Wei Zhi finally made it through today's event. After moving into the house arranged by the village chief, he hurriedly told his elder brother and senior brother about his deduction.

"If all this is to hold you back, hinder your investigation, and facilitate surveillance of you, the so-called celebrations are just acting; or there is something even more terrifying, every time someone comes here, they have to find a reason to hold such a ceremony The celebration ceremony, but in fact, the celebration ceremony is the ritual of their killing."

Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie looked at each other: This little girl can think of things that the two descendants of Guigu can think of, it is really unfulfilling.In addition, Wei Zhuang couldn't help wondering whether he had taught her such dark things inadvertently.

"There is one more problem," Ge Nie reminded, "We have been here twice, but we haven't seen anyone of Zhi'er's age."

"They showed great interest in Zhi'er today." Wei Zhuang, as Zhi'er's elder brother, felt uncomfortable being asked by the villagers all day, "Since I like children so much, why don't I have any in my village?"

"They don't like it." Wei Zhi said again, "Although there is no evidence, their performance is more...pathological. The strong interest they show is not normal."

sick?Given the context, that's not normal.The two Guigu disciples first guessed the meaning of the words in their hearts, and then expressed their agreement with what she said.

What next?It's dark now, they can't go out with torches to find evidence, the goal is too big.What's more, the lighting conditions of the torches are not that good. Wei Zhi still needs a searchlight to find the corpse.

Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang decided to take turns to monitor the villagers, and one person had to stay with Wei Zhi.Wei Zhi refused: "I want to go out and have a look, maybe I can find something. I can't find the small ones, but I can't miss the bigger ones." Even if it is night now, isn't there still a moon in the sky.

Wei Zhi didn't ask them where they had been last time. They wanted to investigate the village, and they would definitely not let go of any details. There is no place in the village that they haven't been to.Now Wei Zhi insists on following them to the place where they walked last time, just to check them one by one.

The first place to go must be the village chief's house, as Wei Zhi said before, this is not a rich place, and even the village chief's house uses straw as curtains to block the windows.Through the gap, I saw the village head tidying up the room.And there is nothing worth checking about the furnishings in his room.Wei Zhi checked in the courtyard of the village chief's house, hoping to find something valuable, but it was too dark here, and her eyes really couldn't see anything useful. When she was walking and checking, she suddenly stopped, and He tentatively weighed his feet on the ground.
