Psychic assistant to the forensic doctor

Chapter 85 Preliminary Exploration of the Forbidden Area
The next morning, when Su Ye recalled what happened last night, she immediately felt ashamed and didn't know how to face Cheng Jin.So, like an ostrich, she buried herself under the quilt and refused to get up.

"Su Ye, are you really not going to get up to eat breakfast?" Wen Zixian looked suspiciously at the lump on the bed.She always felt that Su Ye was a bit strange today. In the past, she would definitely wake up at dawn. She had a good name: the early bird gets the worm.

"No!" A muffled voice came from under the quilt.

"Are you sick?" Wen Zixian asked worriedly.She wanted to lift Su Ye's quilt, but Su Ye held onto the quilt tightly, trying to cover it up.

Under the quilt, Su Ye had dark circles under her eyes and her hair was disheveled, as if she hadn't slept all night.She didn't want others to see her embarrassed appearance, and she didn't want to be asked why.

What happened last night was really embarrassing.

"No, no. Go and eat by yourself!" Su Ye urged.

Wen Zixian saw that although Su Ye was behaving abnormally, but her voice was loud, as if she was sick, she ignored her.

What they were going to do next was more convenient without Su Ye's participation.

At the dinner table, Wen Zixian noticed that Cheng Jin also seemed to be a little abnormal, there was some light black around the eyes, it was the rhythm of not sleeping well.

Fang Rui, a veteran of the society, had already guessed what was going on, he couldn't help sighing that some people are favored by the heavens, and they are so lucky that they are enviable.

But he rarely resisted the desire to tease Cheng Jin, because they had important things to do today.

"Are we going to the scene of the fire today?" Wen Zixian was more concerned about the progress of the case.

"Correct!"

After breakfast, a young local policeman came to guide them and lead them to the place where the body was found.

They walked along a narrow gravel road, around a small hill, to a dense forest.At this time, it was getting farther and farther away from the residential area.That place was indeed a very remote place, as Zhou Forensic Doctor said.

"What are you going to do in that place?" The young policeman named Shen Mulin warned solemnly, "That place is very dark, so don't go there in the end."

Fang Rui took out a cigarette, handed one to Shen Mulin, and then smoked himself, jokingly said with a smile: "Brother, you are also a policeman after all, it's not good to be so superstitious!"

If that little witch Su Ye was there, maybe the topic would be off topic.

"People in the town say that," the simple young man rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly, and argued, "The feng shui there is really bad. People lived in that house once, but the original owner seems to be dead." Yes. In the past, everyone could always hear strange sounds near the house, and if they were unlucky, they also saw black shadows."

"It's not a matter of chasing after the wind, is it?" Fang Rui questioned.

Sometimes, some rumors can always be rumored to be miraculous, especially in this kind of mountainous town, where the residents are not very educated, but their imagination is extremely rich, so it is very easy to believe these rumors.

"That's not true. More than ten years ago, there was a Taoist priest who didn't believe in evil, and said he wanted to exorcise ghosts for us, but he ended up getting himself involved!" Shen Mulin's face changed, and he said vividly.

"The Taoist priest was killed?" Fang Rui asked curiously.

"That's not true, but he was scared stupid. According to the old man in the town, he can't remember anything and can't speak, so we don't know what happened that night. He died a month later. Later, a young man who was not afraid of death went there to explore, but he was also frightened. Since then, no one in the village dared to go there, and even the nearby residents moved away.”

All in all, rumor has it that that place has become off-limits to the town.

"Scared?" Cheng Jin repeated softly.

"I don't think I was scared." Wen Zixian responded.

The two looked at each other and exchanged thoughts silently.

And Fang Rui, who was walking in front, continued to chat with the young man about anecdotes and anecdotes in the town with great interest.

After walking for about half an hour on the mountain road, they finally came to the burned building.To be precise, it has become a pile of ruins covered with vines and small plants, and it is impossible to see that there was a house here.

13 years is enough to change a lot of things.They knew very well in their hearts that even if they found the crime scene, they might not find any traces.But they still have to try.

"You have also seen that this place is so deserted that there is probably nothing to be found." Shen Mulin said regretfully.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Cheng Jin said lightly, "We remember the route back. If you have other things, you can go back first and don't have to accompany us."

Shen Mulin originally wanted to say proudly, it's okay, I can stay and help you.But when he came into contact with Cheng Jin's cold gaze, he immediately swallowed his words back, and said softly: "Then I'll go back first, if you need help, you can call me." If there is a signal.

He knew that Cheng Jin and the others were from the Municipal Bureau, and they were probably conducting some kind of secret operation, and these things were definitely beyond the reach of a small policeman like him.So he resigned to his fate and left, although he was really curious what they were looking for in this barren mountain.

"Old Cheng, why did you drive away the little policeman?" Fang Rui saw the little policeman's hurt eyes, and suddenly sympathized with him, and protested with some dissatisfaction.

"If one more person knows, it's not safe." Cheng Jin said casually while looking around, "If we really find something and he knows it, maybe the whole town knows it."

The mouth of the people is better than Fangchuan.An old case, there is no need to let it make waves again.

Wen Zixian squatted down, gently pushed aside a clump of plants, and vaguely saw something similar to concrete lumps in the ground.It seems that there was indeed a building here.

"How should we find clues?" Fang Rui felt his head was heavy, not to mention the plants all over the ground, even if all the plants were pulled out, there might not be any traces of the past.

"According to that case, we can guess two things," Cheng Jin analyzed methodically, "One is that the real crime scene is not far from here, otherwise it would be difficult to move the corpse; the other is that the place should be It’s very secretive. The police must have searched the vicinity, and since nothing was found, it proves that the place is hidden.”

"The range is also very large," Fang Rui continued to complain, "and what if it is hidden in a cave? There are so many bushes here, how can you find it!" Fang Rui still insisted that they would find nothing.

The mountainous area of ​​this small town is a typical karst landform, and the flowing water has eroded many caves.

Wen Zixian also found it difficult, so she said helplessly, "Let's split up and look around."

"It's not in the cave." Cheng Jin said lightly.

"why?"

"Because there are no caves near here," Cheng Jin explained, "there are dense trees here, and the rock formation is not limestone, but granite. The most important thing is that Zhou's forensic doctor once asked his friend to test the soil quality of the deceased's shoe soles. The deceased should have never been to the cave."

One of the biggest characteristics of the cave is that the rock composition there is mostly limestone.

"Then where are we going to find it?" Fang Rui said a little irritably after taking a puff on his cigarette.

"Underground!" Cheng Jin felt that the underground was the most reliable place, and according to what the little policeman said, people could often be heard talking in the vicinity before, but no one was seen. Maybe the voice came from underground.

"Underground?" Fang Rui repeated and asked, "Are we going to find someone to dig this place?" The amount of work is too big, and it is completely impossible not to disturb the residents of this small town.

Besides, even if they were dug up, they probably wouldn't be able to find any clues.Fang Rui felt that there was no need for them to waste their efforts.

"No, we just need to find that entrance." Since they were able to go down, there must be a shortcut.

"Well, you can just tell me how to find it, and I will listen to you."

"I don't know!" Cheng Jin shrugged and said helplessly.

"I have a solution," Wen Zixian interrupted suddenly, "If they dig a basement underground, in order to avoid collapse, the rock formation on the surface of the selected site will be very hard. This means that the vegetation in that area will be very sparse , not even."

Cheng Jin glanced at Wen Zixian with satisfaction, and Fang Rui gave her a thumbs up.

After adopting Wen Zixian's advice, they turned into geologists, centered on that building, radiating around, observing the geology and the growth of plants.

Soon, they determined a location - 100 meters away from the house, where the plants were sparse, and the roots of a nearby big tree were exposed to the surface, like big earthworms, entrenched there.

Obviously, those tree roots cannot break through the hard rock formation and take root.

"We should have brought a hoe and a sickle." Fang Rui said helplessly, looking at the weeds in front of him.

"What are you doing with those things?" Wen Zixian asked curiously.

"Dig a hole!"

Wen Zixian: "..."

So Fang Rui and Cheng Jin went back the same way, borrowed hoes and sickles from people in nearby residential areas, and started doing hard work.

Half an hour later, those plants had been brutally chopped off by them, exposing the flat ground.Fang Rui picked up the hoe and digged for another ten minutes. Finally, he saw a rusty iron plate.

"My God, there seems to be a hole here." Fang Rui threw the hoe aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in surprise.
