Detective Files II

Chapter 116 Finding the Head
"What's the matter? What do you mean? What's the situation?" Seeing Tian Mi turning over bricks on the ground, Lao Jiu suddenly changed his face, stood up and walked out of the house with Lu Xiangdong, and hurriedly followed: "This What's going on?"

Having found out, Tian Mi naturally had no time to entangle with him, and being questioned by Lao Jiu, she couldn't help but put on a straight face: "It has nothing to do with you, don't ask me about it!"

Lao Jiu was stunned, as if the little girl who had been smiling since the first day suddenly became serious, which surprised him, and he was not used to it. He didn't know what to say for a while, and followed behind the two of them, holding back It took me a long time to ask, "Then what should I do now?"

"Go home!" Tian Mi put down such an answer, regardless of Lao Jiu's attitude, she had no time to care about him, and hurried back.

On the contrary, Lu Xiangdong seemed to have thought of something and stopped in his tracks.

"Go back and find Tian Yang, I'll wait here." He called Tian Mi to stop and said to her.

Tian Mi frowned, looked at Lu Xiangdong, and then at the old nine who was staring at her stealthily, and suddenly realized that at this juncture, it is necessary to let people's hearts go.

"Okay, you wait here first, I'll go and come back soon!" She nodded at Lu Xiangdong, and trotted towards Niu Fu's house.

Tian Mi ran away in a flash, but Lao Jiu stayed where she was.Lu Xiangdong ignored him, walked back to the door of the haunted house, found a wall with a suitable height, dusted off the snow, and sat on it.

Lao Jiu also came over and sat down not far from Lu Xiangdong. After fumbling for a long time, he took out half a pack of cigarettes from his jacket pocket, shook out one and handed it over: "Come on, buddy, smoke one?"

Lu Xiangdong waved his hand at him: "No."

"Oh, it's good not to smoke, it saves money and is healthy!" Lao Jiu took back the cigarette he handed out with a smile, took out the lighter and lit it for himself, and took a deep breath: "What happened to that big girl just now? Just run away like burning your ass?"

"Tell me about that female ghost! Tell me from the beginning." Lu Xiangdong didn't seem to hear Lao Jiu's words.

"From the beginning, it will be a long story!"

"It's okay, idle is idle."

"I'll tell you in this place, aren't you afraid?" Lao Jiu sipped the filter and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Although it's in broad daylight, I don't mind talking about the female ghost in such an evil place, you Are you sure?"

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lu Xiangdong replied with a half-smile.

"You are bold! Okay, then I will tell you." Lao Jiu cleared his throat, as if he was about to give an important speech, first he pointed at the top of his head: "This is all true, I If there is a little nonsense, a drought and lightning will strike me right now!"

"This old farmer moved to our place later, and I don't know where he came from. When he came, he brought an eleven- or two-year-old daughter and an eight- or nine-year-old son. Their daughter was younger than me. How old is she, and she looks beautiful! In the past, in the small place of our village, she was a well-known beauty. It was only four or five years when Lao Zhuang’s family moved here. Once, Lao Zhuang rode his bicycle to the town I went shopping, was rubbed by a car, limped, and lost a great labor force at home. The family of four could only cope with it. After Lao Zhuang became lame, he couldn’t do any work, and his daughter dropped out of school. Come back and help the family with work, and help my younger brother to study."

When Lao Jiu said this, his eyes became a little blurred, as if he was stuck in memories: "The daughter of the old Zhuang family is called Zhuang Jinyun. Speaking of which, she was a well-known handsome in our village at that time! Ever since she dropped out of school and came home It's okay, there are always a lot of young men in the village who are courteous, and they all hope to get along with her, and they will talk about the next step when they are old enough, but Zhuang Jinyun was very arrogant at the time, and no one would take care of him. Think about it, when she dropped out of school and came back Son, they are all more educated than us, so they must look down on the brats in our village."

Lu Xiangdong looked at Lao Jiu's expression with some clarity in his eyes, but Lao Jiu didn't notice it, he laughed a few times and touched his neck: "But ah, everyone has his own destiny! She is proud, but bad luck! After Lao Zhuang became lame, the family became poorer and poorer. After Zhuang Jinyun was 18 years old, he went to work in the city and worked as a nanny for others. Her mother told others in the village that her daughter found a good employer. , the family is rich and kind, and they give Zhuang Jinyun red envelopes during the holidays, and before the good words are blown, something will happen over there!"

"It's what you said before, Zhuang Jinyun seduced the boss's child? That's not enough to commit suicide, right?"

"You don't know that. I heard from others that Zhuang Jinyun opened his eyes when he arrived in the city. He envied that the people in the city eat delicious food and drink spicy food, and live in a heated building to enjoy the happiness. Then he used his brains and relied on himself. She was a bit pretty, so she hooked up with the boss's child, but the kid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and her boss knew about it. If she wanted to fire her, she made the matter worse, and said that she was cheated by the boss. Her child was ruined, and then the police came, and in the end, if her boss was not willing to let her go, she might have to face a lawsuit!" Lao Jiu smashed his mouth and sighed: "Tell me Well, if it were you, if it was like this, the news would spread to the village without knowing what happened, a girl’s family, how could she have a face to work! So one day, Zhuang Jinyun took advantage of her mother and younger brother to go out to work At that time, she pulled her father's belt and hanged herself on the beam. At that time, Lao Zhuang watched Zhuang Jinyun hanged to death. He was so anxious that he couldn't help it. As a result, Zhuang Jinyun's death, Lao Zhuang was also stimulated. , became insane."

"and then?"

"Then, one night, Lao Zhuang took advantage of his wife's sleep and didn't know how to get out of bed. He lit a fire and set the house on fire!" Lao Jiu sighed deeply. : "You have also seen how far this house is from the other side of the village. The old village set the fire in the middle of the night, and no one found it. It was too late when they were discovered. The old village's daughter-in-law seems to be fine. Lucky, but the father and two were not so lucky. Lao Zhuang died before being sent to the hospital, and his son was burned in a mess, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead when he was sent to the hospital. Anyway, Lao Zhuang died later. The daughter-in-law never came back here, and later I heard that she seemed to have remarried, but we don't know the details."

"After talking for a long time, I haven't heard any sensational ghost stories yet." Lu Xiangdong reminded Lao Jiu.

As soon as Lao Jiu heard his words, he instantly wiped away the sadness on his face: "Think about it, Zhuang Jinyun carried a mouthful of resentment when he died, how could he be safe after death! From the old Zhuang's family After everyone has dispersed, people in the village often see figures wandering around in this house, and children who are still playing outside in Heitian hear a woman singing, which is exactly the same as what Zhuang Jinyun sang in the past!"

Lu Xiangdong thoughtfully listened to Lao Jiu's narration, nodded, and did not continue to ask, Lao Jiu also stopped talking, sitting next to Lu Xiangdong and smoking a cigarette, looking preoccupied.

"Let me tell you, did the big girl find something?" After a moment of silence, Lao Jiu couldn't help asking again.

Lu Xiangdong spread his hands helplessly: "You can ask her yourself later."

Lao Jiu was pushed back by Lu Xiangdong, so he couldn't ask any more questions, so he had to give up and honestly kept silent.

After a while, I saw Tian Mi walking towards this side from a distance, followed by Tian Yang who took the tools and Wang Chun who followed in two steps in three steps.

Tian Mi walked closer and saw Lao Jiu sitting next to Lu Xiangdong, she was quite surprised: "Why are you still here?"

"I'm afraid this guy is boring, so stay with him!" Lao Jiu replied with a playful smile.

"Then now that we're here, you can go back without worry!" Tian Mi didn't bother him, and issued an order to evict the guest according to his reasons.

Lao Jiu is not someone who can't understand other people's hints. Hearing what she said, he could only stand up, pat the snow under his buttocks, and nodded to Tianmi: "That's fine, then I'll go!"

Tian Mi watched Lao Jiu slowly disappear at the end of the path, then turned her head and asked Lu Xiangdong: "When did you have such a strong relationship with this magic stick?"

"I don't know either." Lu Xiangdong looked innocent.

"Tian Mi, where is your discovery?" Tian Yang asked Tian Mi.

Tian Mi led a few people into the "haunted house", and lifted the few concealed bricks: "This is it! You see, the surrounding bricks are very firmly attached to the ground, only these few bricks are relatively loose Yes, after the bricks were lifted, the soil below was obviously wet, and a thin layer of ice was formed on the bottom of the bricks, so I think this place has been touched by people.”

Lu Xiangdong took a small shovel from Tian Yang, and Tian Yang held a pickaxe borrowed from Niu Fu's family, and the two began to dig carefully.

Although a few bricks are loose, the soil below is very difficult to dig. The soil layer seemed to be very wet before, and it was frozen due to the low temperature. Maybe it was Tian Yang who carefully dug up a little bit of frozen soil, and Lu Xiangdong slowly dug the soil aside with a small shovel. After digging hard for a while, both of them began to sweat profusely.

After digging with difficulty to a depth of about sixty to seventy centimeters, after Lu Xiangdong cleared away the loose soil inside, he made a new discovery—something was buried underneath.

After several efforts, the two finally dug out the thing buried in the soil.

It was a ball with frozen caked soil on the surface. Wang Chun squatted down and tried to peel off the surface soil so that he could see the original face covered by the soil. Soon, the caked soil revealed a hair-like shape. s things.

After checking repeatedly, Wang Chun stood up, looked at the other three people solemnly, and nodded: "It's a human head."
