A lot of tricks

() Xiaozuo lit a cigarette quietly, and after slowly exhaling a smoke ring, narrowed his small eyes, and began to make a statement.

"That night was very special, just like tonight, when a young criminal police officer on duty at the Public Security Bureau was sorting out letters, he found a letter that was not signed. Under the trend of curiosity, he opened the letter. Letter. As soon as he opened the letter, there was a shocking text in front of his eyes. It was a confession letter written in blood. The person in the letter did not sign it, but said that he had killed a person on Shuiyuan Mountain not long ago. And threw the body into a bottomless tree hole. And his purpose of writing this letter is to make his conscience stable before he dies. The letter said that he would be at the place where he killed He committed suicide to pay off his debts, and the time of suicide mentioned was that night!

Since this matter was no small matter, the young criminal police asked their superiors for instructions, and the superiors immediately sent four criminal police on duty that could be dispatched at that time to Shuiyuan Mountain to investigate and search.At that time, Shuiyuan Mountain had not been developed, and it was very remote, and few people went there.

When the four criminal police arrived at the foot of Shuiyuan Mountain, it was already past one o'clock in the middle of the night, but they still decided to continue to enter the mountain to find the murderer who wrote the letter and the tree hole mentioned in his letter.

The older Xing Jing analyzed that the tree hole could be bottomless, obviously not formed by ordinary trees, so they narrowed down the target range to a few large trees.After searching separately for more than an hour, the young policeman really found an unfathomable tree hole under a giant old camphor tree, but there was no sign of anyone coming around.

The four criminal police on duty gathered at the entrance of the tree hole to observe, and there was a faint rancid smell coming from the tree hole.There are some vines around the tree hole, and the weak light of the flashlight can't clearly illuminate the situation in the tree hole, as if the hole leads into the ground.The four of them discussed whether to go into the cave to check. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and the young policeman volunteered to go into the cave without hesitation.The others thought that there was no more than a corpse in the tree hole, so they didn't stop it.

The tree hole is not big, but it is more than enough for the young Xing Jing to get in. After a while, the young Xing Jing has completely entered the tree hole. Even if he observes with a flashlight, he can no longer be seen from outside the tree hole. , can only quietly listen to the sound of him crawling forward in the tree hole and rubbing against the wall of the tree hole.

However, what happened next caused the three criminal policemen outside the tree hole to panic!

They first heard a tragic scream coming from the tree hole, followed by the sound of the young criminal policeman shouting "Help" and the sound of him bumping into the tree hole.

The three criminals outside the tree hole were about to enter the tree hole while calling the young criminal's name. Just as they were about to go in, they saw the young criminal's feet moving back and forth as they approached the tree hole.Two of the criminal policemen looked at each other, and without hesitation, they stepped forward and grabbed the young criminal policeman's ankles and pulled them back, trying to help the young criminal policeman get out.

But just when they grabbed the young criminal policeman's ankles, the young criminal policeman suddenly became more excited and kept shaking his feet, trying to struggle to escape.

boom! boom! boom!

A burst of gunshots rang out in the silent mountain. Before the old policeman had time to react, he saw one of the men holding the ankle of the young policeman take a step back and fell down. He was obviously shot in the waist, and The other punishment was that the arm was scratched by the bullet, which was not serious.

At this time, no one dared to step forward to pull the young criminal police, but there was still a burst of gunshots in the tree hole, and when the gunshots stopped, the young criminal police stopped struggling, and their legs were paralyzed. At the mouth of the tree hole.

The old criminal police who had just treated the wounds of the criminal police who had been shot saw that the young criminal police had not moved, so they pulled the young criminal police out together with the other criminal police.At this time, the young criminal policeman was still unconscious, his arms were covered with wounds, and even his face was covered with scratches, but luckily he was not shot.

With the two wounded and taboo about attacking the young criminal police in the tree hole, the old criminal police decided to take them back first, and wait until dawn tomorrow before sending more people to investigate.The two criminals who were seriously injured that night were sent to the hospital, but fortunately their lives were not in danger, and the young criminal did not wake up from his coma until the next morning.But when the old criminal police asked what happened and what he encountered in the tree hole last night, the young criminal police trembled and started talking nonsense, even ran out with his head in his arms. The ward kept yelling 'Ghost!let go!let go...'. "

When Xiao Zuo said this, he stopped suddenly.

"What? Was he stimulated?" I hurriedly asked, what I disliked the most was listening to a story and half of it being told by others.

Xiaozuo's Adam's apple twitched, and he said three words to me: "He is crazy..."

"Crazy?" I felt a little unbelievable, no matter how you put it, it was a criminal police, there should be no mental problems, "Scared crazy?"

The cigarette in his hand was already burnt out, Xiao Zuo looked at me with a strange look, did not answer my question, but said slowly: "Do you believe in ghosts?"

I was suddenly at a loss for words, not because I couldn't answer this question, but because Xiaozuo's eyes at this time seemed both helpless and warning, which was incompatible with his usual image.

"I remember I told you that I don't believe in these things." I still stood firm.

Xiao Zuo nodded thoughtfully, and continued: "Then the psychiatric doctor came to examine the young criminal, and confirmed that he was frightened by the huge stimulation and lost his mind."

"Then what exactly did he encounter in the tree hole?" I was really right before Xiao Zuo, and I became more and more curious about this case.

"After listening to what I said, the old criminal police brought more people up the mountain to investigate that day. At the same time, they were preparing to conduct a thorough investigation of the weird tree hole, and even razed the old camphor tree to the ground. The day is indeed better than the night. It is easy to move and easy to operate. Soon, the vines around the tree hole were cleaned up. Although the light is more abundant during the day, the tree hole is still very dark, making it difficult to see the bottom. In the end, everyone had no choice but to put the whole The tree hole was destroyed bit by bit, until the entire tree hole channel was completely lit, and the rotten breath was completely permeated in the air, but at a glance, the broken tree hole was empty.

Feeling very strange, the old criminal police stepped forward to investigate, and found it under the sawdust fragments..."

"What did you find?" Seeing Xiao Zuo stop, I couldn't help but blurt out and ask, is this damn guy trying to whet my appetite?

"I found a severed arm that had rotted and turned black for a while. The hand was spread out, as if grasping something forcefully." Xiao Zuo continued to add.

"Only one broken arm?"

"Only one broken arm." Xiao Zuo replied with certainty.

"How is this possible?" I still feel a little unbelievable, even a broken arm can't frighten the bold criminal police like that.

"Nothing is impossible, that's the truth. The old criminal police didn't believe it either, and later asked someone to dig up the bottom of the tree hole, but nothing was found again. There is one more thing that you will never think of .” Xiao Zuo seemed even more unpredictable this time.

"What?" For this matter, I am really concerned about it now.

"Do you still remember the face and arms of the young criminal policeman I just said when he was brought back?" Xiao Zuo asked me.

"Of course I remember, didn't he get hanged while struggling in the tree hole?" When I heard that, I naturally made such an assumption, and I didn't think there was any loophole.

Xiao Zuo swallowed again, and said seriously: "The old criminal police took that arm back for inspection, and found that there was blood from the young criminal police under its fingernails."

"What!" I suddenly felt a little congested, "You mean..."

Xiao Zuo nodded slowly towards me, and now he has even confirmed what I thought of.For some reason, I did not continue to delve into this aspect. I am afraid that what happened in the tree hole is really not that simple.

"You kid, I don't know where to find such a story and talk about it here." For such a result, I didn't even think about it, or I didn't even have the will to think in that direction, and I felt in my heart that it must be Xiaozuo is deliberately fooling me.

"I'm not talking nonsense, this is indeed what happened in the real world." Xiao Zuo's earnest expression cannot be doubted.

"Then where did you know it?" In my opinion, whether a matter is reliable depends largely on whether the source of the information is reliable.

"I used to work in the archives department, but I was just a clerical staff responsible for managing obsolete files."

I believe the first sentence Xiao Zuo said, but for the second sentence, I would rather believe that he is not a civil servant, but a Jing priest.

"Originally, I was not interested in those old files, but at that time, the superiors required that all the files be entered into the computer, so I had to check and enter those files one by one. That's how I found the records of the case at that time. You also know that I am very interested in this kind of thing, and then I spent a lot of effort to find the old criminal police, so I understand this case so clearly." Although Xiaozuo was frustrated, but with What I said has no loopholes at all, so I can't find anything suspicious to deny it in any way.

"Then what about the man who wrote the blood letter and surrendered? Is there any blood stains on the blood test letter?" It suddenly occurred to me that I had missed these two points, so I hurriedly asked before I had forgotten.

"Of course there is. The test results show that the DNA in the blood on the blood book is exactly the same as the DNA of the severed arm. It can be confirmed that they belong to the same person. As for the man who wrote the blood book, the old Xingjing and the others have been searching for a long time, but they haven't found it yet." Xiao Xiao Zuo continued to add for me, and he himself became erratic because of this incident.

"How did this case end in the end? Since no body was found, how can it be called a murder case?" I still haven't figured out a lot of things.

"Although the body was not found, this incident caused quite a stir in the upper echelon. In order not to cause public panic, this case was blocked from the outside world." Xiao Zuo said softly, thinking about it, since nothing can be found out in the investigation , and finally ended up with this result.

"I can't believe such a thing will happen." I expressed this emotion completely subconsciously, and after I said it, I realized that I seemed to have admitted the authenticity of this case.

If this case is really as described by Xiaozuo, I don't know if I will subvert my perception of the world.

I closed my eyes gently, my mind was filled with all kinds of weird thoughts, and even I couldn't figure it out for a while.But suddenly, a thought flashed in my mind, and I suddenly opened my eyes.

The severed hand that can catch people, and the corpse that can walk, these two cases seem to have some connection in the dark, or they have a great similarity in nature!

I don't know if it's because I've thought too much about this case recently, or because I really lack rest, but I always like to connect many things around me with the case.At the same time, I feel that the clues around me are too many and messy, too complicated to be coherent, and it feels as if someone is leading me into one problem after another.

Regarding this point, I am not sure myself, but I always feel that this is not my own random thinking, and it is also possible that when the time comes, all the puzzles will be solved.

"Do you think there is any connection between this case and the case we are investigating?" After thinking about it, I couldn't help expressing my thoughts. Xiao Zuo must have heard it, but Zhang Jiewei still drove his car. The car didn't respond at all.

"Oh! After talking for a long time and spending so much time, I finally let you understand, Brother Lei!" Hearing what I said, Xiao Zuo immediately got involved with me again.

"What do you think I understand?" I still haven't understood what Xiao Zuo is trying to imply to me. Does he have the same idea as me?

"There are... troubles in this world!" Xiaozuo seemed to be jealous of something, and I understood his jealousy, and it was really different from my thoughts.

"There are...someone in this world!" I replied to him angrily, and I said it to give myself courage, "I mean the similarities between these two cases. How are these two cases similar to you? Didn't you find it?"

Xiao Zuo rolled his eyes, but there were only two words: "No."

"We'll arrive at Jingfeng Road in half an hour." Just when I was about to continue talking with Xiao Zuo, Zhang Jiewei, who had been playing the role of an invisible driver, said such a sentence suddenly.

"Oh?" I glanced out through the car window, and I had indeed entered the urban area of ​​Liutaihe City without knowing it.

I always felt that the air in the car was stuffy, so I rolled down the window to take a breath of fresh air outside, and enjoy the novelty of the night in Liutaihe City.

Although it was late at night, the lights in the distance still illuminated a place in the sky, and it was estimated that there was also a place where there was no night.My sight stayed there all the time, and I didn't even notice that our traveling route was approaching a certain place, nor did I have the heart to notice the changes in the surrounding air.

It wasn't until the car stopped suddenly that I came out of my own spiritual world, but was dumbfounded by the scene in front of me!
