Return to 1983 and be a detective

Back to the case, what the old man wants to do to wake up the porcelain is to cool down the furnace and let the porcelain cool down. When the temperature drops suddenly, thermal expansion and contraction will cause the porcelain and the glaze to bear different forces, which will lead to beautiful cracks. of cracks.

Generally, this kind of awakening of porcelain takes a long time. When the porcelain cracks, it will make a pleasant sound like the roar of a dragon. It is also like what Bai Juyi described in Pipa Play. The big strings are as noisy as the rain, and the small strings are as noisy as the rain. The strings are like whispers.

The old man had been doing this kind of work all his life and had never made any mistakes. But when he arrived at the kiln, he found a headless female corpse in the kiln. The ground was covered with blood. This frightened him. It took a while to regain consciousness and immediately called the police.

The police rushed to the kiln. They started investigating missing persons from nearby villages, but found nothing. The headless female body seemed to have fallen from the sky and appeared here out of thin air.

You must know that this was the early 80s, and the flow of people today is completely different from that of later generations. In later generations, transportation was developed and it was very convenient for everyone to go out. But now basically you need a letter of introduction wherever you go. You can't just go out without a reason.

And basically everyone is mainly engaged in agriculture. At most, after the reform and opening up, they went to work in township enterprises or village-run enterprises.

Among them, the majority are men, and most of those who go out to work are men. It is even rarer for women to go out.

So the origin of this female corpse became a mystery.

Originally, the appearance of this female corpse would not alarm Detective Long Shui. After all, Detective Long Shui is now a star unit and attracts much attention. In ordinary small cases, as long as they are not too bizarre, they will not be asked to take action.

The problem was that not long after, they found a porcelain human head among the porcelain. The porcelain head was lifelike and contained human ashes. In other words, the head of the headless female corpse was actually used as a mold and was pasted on from the outside. A layer of mud is applied, glaze is applied, and finally it is put into other porcelain and fired together with other porcelain.

This was bizarre enough, so Su Jing and her team were sent here to solve the case.

After Su Jing's team arrived here, they also followed the old method of solving crimes these days and began to investigate.

This kind of thorough investigation went very smoothly, but after investigating thousands of people, they found nothing.In fact, the local police had already done this kind of investigation and platooning work before they arrived.

These people are no better than the local police, and naturally they can't find any clues.

At the same time, they conducted an autopsy on the headless female corpse, and the result was that she was a pregnant woman in her 50s. Judging from the calluses on her hands and feet, it seemed that she had not been engaged in agricultural production too much and should be well maintained.

So the clues obtained can only be said to be quite limited.

Originally, they wanted to ask Xu Shan for help as soon as possible, but as soon as they heard about Li Yanzi, they asked for help as soon as possible, so the young people became more competitive. The four of them discussed it and decided to investigate for a while.

But this period of time has passed, and they still have no clue, and they can't find anyone to solve the case.

Therefore, they could only wait for the case from Li Yanzi's team to be solved before they asked Xu Shan for help, and Xu Shan came over without stopping.

After visiting the scene, Xu Shan had a rough idea.

Generally speaking, after killing a person, if you still want to burn the head into porcelain, in addition to having a deep grudge against the deceased, you also want to perform some kind of ritual.Just like the master of stealing treasures, special rituals are needed to obtain witch blood to nourish gold and silver Gu.

Therefore, the direction of solving the case should be divided into two areas, one is vendetta, and the other is religious or ritual killing.

For this reason, Xu Shan needs to know what special rituals this kiln has.

You don’t know if you don’t ask, but if you ask, it turns out that the old man in charge of awakening porcelain is very familiar with all the rules of the kiln. He said that there was a so-called human sacrifice ceremony before this kiln.

That is to say, when the kiln is opened, two living people need to be fired before the first batch of porcelain is produced.

A virgin and a virgin.

Only by dedicating these boys and girls to the god of firework can the best porcelain be produced.

It’s just that this kind of cruel ritual may still exist in the old society. In the new society, who would dare to ignore human life and do such a harming thing?

What's more, this female corpse looks like a woman in her 50s. The stretch marks after childbirth can be seen on her naked body. This does not meet the requirements of human sacrifice.

Even if it meets the requirements, the rules of this kiln are that no blood can be seen. If blood is seen, the entire kiln will be destroyed. Therefore, even these masters must be very careful and dare not shed even a drop of blood in this kiln. Now the floor of the kiln is covered with blood. This kiln that was built with so much hard work is considered completely abandoned.

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, our factory director is such a good person, why should he be treated like this? God is really blind."

Xu Shan's heart moved and he asked the old man: "Does your factory director have any enemies?"

"Enemies? No, no, our factory director is a well-known good man from all over the country. He never has any hatred against others."

"Then does he have a younger brother?"

"Are you talking about the legend of Ge Kiln and Di Kiln? Those are all things in the old days. How can there be such a thing now? This kiln belongs to us collectively. We all work together and make money together. And our Wengjia Village is like this Among the kilns, we are the only ones who can still make pieces of porcelain, while other kilns seem to be making celadon."

So there are no competitors, and the purpose of trying to frame the blame or sabotage is not that obvious?

Xu Shan frowned. Now it seems that both paths are dead.

However, it seems that neither road is open, but there seems to be light on both roads.

First of all, what is certain is that this is definitely a ritual, but it is not a sacrifice, but destruction. Someone killed someone here and made porcelain with the human head. In any case, this kiln is abandoned.So it's a ritual of destruction.

At the same time, someone must have put so much effort into doing this out of hatred.And this person obviously would not leave the kiln too far. Firstly, he had time to commit the crime, and secondly, he wanted to take revenge in this way. In this era of closed information, it is estimated that the news would not spread very far.

Therefore, this murderer will definitely hide and observe secretly, and want to personally experience the pleasure of bringing down a kiln factory.

What kind of layout is needed to find out the real culprit?Xu Shan fell into deep thought.

Cao Ling on the other hand was extremely excited. She followed Xu Shan to two places, but she obtained first-hand information on two bizarre cases. If all of this was published in the first issue of her magazine, it would definitely be sensational news.If this magazine doesn't sell well, it's totally unreasonable.

Seeing that Xu Shan was deep in thought, she was secretly worried for Xu Shan, but she didn't think she could help Xu Shan. She just advised: "Boss Xu, let's not get into trouble, go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air." , it can be regarded as a change of mind.”

Xu Shan also felt that he was a little stuck and had no way to get out and think from a higher perspective. This kind of contemplation, without ideas, would be completely ineffective and even harmful.When you think you are thinking hard, you are actually letting your brain dance wildly in a mess.

After saying thank you to Cao Ling, Xu Shan stood up and went out.

This Longquan is really a good place with beautiful mountains and water, and the air is really fresh. This kiln is built on the mountainside, facing the mountain spring. There are many broken porcelains on the flat ground, as well as some embryos, and Stone grinders, stone hammers and other tools for dealing with mud tires.

After passing through some things, Xu Shan walked along a trail to the top of the mountain. It had been autumn for some time now, and some of the leaves in the mountains were already red. Although it was not as red as the mountains and the forests were dyed, but Among those green leaves, seeing some red leaves is like looking at mountain flowers in spring, and there is a sense of life contained in it.

When I looked up again, the sky was clear and the clouds were clear. People's horizons suddenly broadened and my mood also improved.

After Xu Shan adjusted his mood, he said to himself: "It seems that I was obsessed just now."

At this point, he seemed to be hit by a ray of light. He suddenly jumped up excitedly and ran down the mountain like flying. While running, he shouted happily: "I know the truth of the matter."
