secret case one

In a small village of twenty or so households, even if a family loses a chicken, it can cause a "full city".The death of such a big thing, of course, spread quickly.

Luo Yisen walked out of the house and saw Gongsun Jin talking to a man in his fifties, so he asked Lan Jingyang, "Who is that old man?"

"The village head here." Lan Jingyang said, "Just now I found a few people to take Zhu Kai to someone else's house to rest. Gongsun is asking him about skin diseases." After speaking, he changed the topic, "I have seen Dead body? What conclusion?"

"It's hard to say now. What Sima means is that the cause of Zhu Xiaomei's death has nothing to do with skin disease."

Originally, they were still chatting with Luo Yisen, but for some reason, Lan Jingyang frowned suddenly, and fixed his eyes on an old lady standing behind the crowd.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yisen also felt strange and asked.

Lan Jingyang quickly returned to normal, and said quietly: "There is an old lady over there, she was terrified when she saw Miao Yunnian."

"Old man Miao is back?" Luo Yisen also looked over there.He didn't see Miao Yunnian, but he saw Xi Hulu.

Xi Hulu shook his head slightly at Luo Yisen, motioning him: Don't come over.Immediately, he turned and left.

Before Luo Yisen could figure out what the master and apprentice were doing, he received a text message on his cell phone.It's from Xihulu.

"The old lady said just now: Feng ghosts are eating people. I don't know if it's the wind blowing or the madness. The master seems to know the old lady. The old lady was frightened by the conversation just now. I'll go and see. Keep in touch .”

Show Xihulu's text message to Lan Jingyang.Lan Jingyang was startled, and the doubt flashed in his eyes.Gongsun Jin on the other side had already finished chatting with the village chief. Seeing this scene, he smiled knowingly and nodded towards Luo Yisen, as if he had gained something.

While Luo Yisen and the others were making excuses to stay in Fengshu Village, Miao Yunnian followed the old lady all the way to a house at the east end of the village.

The old lady hurried into the yard, before she could close the door, Miao Yunnian had already collapsed in.He frowned slightly and said, "Big sister, don't you recognize me?"

"I don't know." The old lady panicked and wanted to push Miao Yunnian out.

Miao Yunnian hurriedly said: "Sister Shanzhi, it's me. Nian boy. I lived in your house when you were sixteen, and I even gave you a pen."

Xihu Lu thought: Is it a token of love?Shall I tell my teacher?

The old lady standing in the door was really terrified.Pushing Miao Yunnian hard, he reprimanded: "You have admitted the wrong person!" Immediately, the courtyard door was closed with a bang and locked inside.

Miao Yunnian touched his bald head and clicked his tongue.Xi Hulu, who was listening to the wall, leaned over and said, "Master, how is your old friend?"

"Nonsense!" Miao Yunnian said angrily, "Except for your teacher's wife, I have never taken a fancy to anyone else!"

"What's the matter with Grandma Shanzhi? You actually gave someone a pen. Pen, that's a pen!"

"What's wrong with the pen?" Miao Yunnian squinted at Xi Hulu, "What's wrong with your brat?"

Xihulu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "When you were young, giving a pen was a big deal. It's like giving a diamond ring now!"

"Get out!" Miao Yunnian slapped Xi Hulu on the head, with a slight smile on his face, it could be seen that the old man was not really angry.However, it’s about what happened back then.

"Your grandpa and I often come here to look for things, and we stay at her house every time we come. At that time, she was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and she was full of curiosity about the outside world. I told her a lot about the outside world. We got along very well. ,very……"

"Isn't it sweet?" Xihulu said fearlessly.

Miao Yunnian sighed sadly, and said: "I'm getting old... let's go, take a walk with Master."

Xi Hulu followed quickly, and said by the way: "Master, I can read a poem for you, 'Wait for my long hair to reach my waist, how about the general return? I am a gentleman and want to be at ease, how can I expect mountains and rivers to be rustling.'."

Miao Yunnian grinned, glanced at the closed courtyard door, and said to Shi Xing's young apprentice, "Speak louder, your grandma Shanzhi is deaf."

What old man Miao's plan is, Xihulu has a clear mind.That's why he didn't let Luo Yisen and others get involved.Don't look at Xiaoxi's lack of accuracy, but his heart is clear.He estimated that Luo Yisen had probably gone up the mountain now.

"Master, don't you really need to help them?" Xi Hulu lowered his voice and said, "That disease is very dangerous."

Miao Yunnian smiled faintly, "Auspicious people have their own aura."

Just as Xi Hulu thought, at this time Luo Yisen had already secretly left Zhu Kai's house and ran up the mountain.

Just now I chatted with Lan Jingyang about how to deal with Zhu Xiaomei's body.Although I have contacted the nearest police department, the other party sincerely stated that it is absolutely fine for us to receive the corpse, but it will take a little longer.It takes three and a half hours to drive to Maple Village one way.

There was no other way, Luo Yisen and Lan Jingyang could only look at the road and sigh.

When Luo Yisen turned back to look for Shen Shao, he found that there was no sign of this person inside or outside the house, and his heart skipped a beat.He was worried that Shen Shao had gone up the mountain.He didn't bother to say hello to Gongsun Jin, so he only asked Lan Jingyang to tell him.

The road up the mountain is not easy, it is rugged and winding, and there are many pits and rocks.Halfway through, Luo Yisen finally saw Shen Shao standing not far away.

Shen Shao just stood on a dirt slope and looked in the direction of the top of the mountain, he didn't seem to want to move on.Luo Yisen called him, and he turned his head slowly, reaching out his hand towards Luo Yisen.

"Why are you here?" Luo Yisen went up the slope, stood beside Shen Shao, and asked.

Shen Shao took a deep breath, pointed to most of the mountainside, "There."

Feeling again?Luo Yisen hesitated.

"Yisen, I want to go and have a look." Shen Shao said.

Luo Yisen really didn't want to go.The feeling of making him sad and sad is really bad.But I still have to go sooner or later, not today, maybe tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Luo Yisen also followed Shen Shao's example and took a deep breath of refreshing air.She squeezed his hand tightly, "Go, let's go together."

Wangshan runs to death, this is an old saying.

Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking at the top of the mountain, I feel that it is not far away.Only when you really walk with your legs can you know what reality is.After walking for more than an hour, Luo Yisen was a little tired.Shen Shao held his hand tightly and asked if he wanted to rest.

"No, go up early, and see if there are any goblins." As he spoke, he brushed off his previous fatigue, and smiled, "If there really is, let's catch one and go back with Diu Diu as a companion."

Being tickled by Luo Yisen's cute appearance, Shen Shao leaned over and asked considerately, "I will carry you?"

"Going down the mountain." Luo Yisen said wittily, "I've never heard of it. It's easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down. When I go down, I'll carry it on your back."

After a few laughs, continue to go up the mountain.On the way, Luo Yisen mentioned Sima Sitang, but Shen Shao interrupted him immediately.Said: "There are only two ways to kill a alive and kicking person in a short period of time. Poisoning and hidden weapons."

No, why did all the hidden weapons come out?Could it be the rainstorm pear blossom needle?

Shen Shao touched the back of Luo Yisen's ear, and said: "Acupoints, you can die in a short time if you pierce them."

"I understand this." Luo Yisen continued with disapproval: "There are also traces of acupuncture points leading to death. It's not like Zhu Xiaomei was stabbed to death by acupuncture points. I estimate that nine out of ten are still poisoned." .”

So, here comes the problem.Who poisoned it?How did you poison it?Since Xiaomei Zhu returned home, she didn't even drink her saliva.And the water that Zhu Kai burned was also mixed with cold water by Su Jie to wipe Zhu Xiaomei's body.Hypothesis: The poison entered the human body from the skin ulcer, causing Zhu Xiaomei to die instantly.This poison is also not unusual.

According to Luo Yisen's knowledge, there are not many poisons that kill instantly.The most well-known of these is cyanide.However, no matter what the poison is, there will be traces of the corpse.Just like dying from carbon monoxide, the body will appear pink and have a bad smell in the mouth.Following the characteristics of these corpses, experienced people can judge the cause of death as soon as they touch the corpse.

But the circumstances of Zhu Xiaomei's death were very strange.Looking at the surface of the corpse, it seemed that it was not poisoned.Perhaps her bizarre skin disease also contributed to the obfuscation of the truth of her death.Therefore, no one can determine the cause of death without an autopsy.

Luo Yisen seldom digs into a dead end, no matter how complicated and confusing things are, he knows how to investigate clues patiently.As for the current situation, Luo Yisen said that it is useless to be anxious.And in order to prevent Shen Shao from feeling anxious, he joked casually: "This place is weird, maybe there really are goblins. Little sister Zhu was killed by goblins."

Shen Shao raised his eyebrows, happily grabbed Luo Yisen's hand, and kissed the corner of his lips.Said: "Catch it back, give it to Diu Diu."

At this point, Shen Shao pulled Luo Yisen and jumped onto a big rock, and his vision suddenly widened.About 150 meters away from them, stands a towering tree!

Luo Yisen rubbed his eyes, thinking that it should be two big trees growing together.A closer look revealed that it was indeed just one tree.Because it is too thick, if you look at it from a distance, you can only see its canopy like a sky, which is greatly stretched.

The environment on the mountain is quiet and bright. When a gust of wind blows, countless branches sway and make rustling sounds like waves.Marveling at the majestic ancient tree, I suddenly felt that even if a person really grew on the tree, it was not impossible.

After sighing for a while, Luo Yisen found that there seemed to be an earthen platform under the old tree, which arched the old tree, and the shape similar to steps could be distinguished around it.He stood on the rock and took a lot of pictures, ready to take them back to show Jiang Bing.

Afterwards, the two jumped off the rock, walked to the roots of the big tree, and observed around the big tree.When he was about to walk around, the footsteps stopped abruptly.On the thick tree trunk, a part protruded. Even if he didn't want to admit it, it was hard to avoid the reality. A human figure with nose, eyes, shoulders, waist, and legs was right in front of his eyes!

Luo Yisen opened his mouth in surprise: "Fuck, there are really fairies."

Shen Shao was also stunned by the "person" on the tree trunk!Touched his chin, took a few glances, "Take it back with the roots!"

Originally, Luo Yisen was still surprised, but when he heard Shen Shao's serious words, he burst out laughing, "Which plant?"

"Buy land."

"For a tree?"

"A tree that grows a man."

Luo Yisen silently put his hand into Shen Shao's trouser pocket, took out his phone, and stuffed it into his hand, "Good boy, take some photos and send them to Shen Yan and your father."

Shen Shao was really well-behaved, and snapped the photo.Luo Yisen was not idle either, he was going to send it to Jiang Bing and Liao Xiaosheng after he finished filming.As a result, there was no signal on the mountain.

"Go down the mountain and send again." Luo Yisen put away his mobile phone, and approached the "person" on the tree trunk to observe carefully.

Now Shen Shao is also normal, and said: "Is it a tree tumor?"

"No, absolutely not!" Luo Yisen denied his conjecture.Because there are no tree tumors that will grow into adults.Moreover, the color of this big tree is not right.Just being dazzled by the sun, I thought it was ordinary green, but under closer inspection, the trunk is dark brown, and the leaves are almost dark blue.As far as he knew, maple leaves didn't have that color.

"Yi Sen, what do you think this is?" Shen Shao pulled him and bent down, pointing to a small pile of black particles on the ground.

Luo Yisen looked intently.Piles of small black particles that look hard.These black particles are not just a bunch, they are arranged at a very regular distance, about [-] centimeters apart."Looks like animal poop," Royson said.

Shen Shao frowned, "There are also Zhu Kai's yards."

"Did you see it?" Luo Yisen asked in surprise.

Shen Shao nodded.I saw it when I gave Luo Yisen a small maza, and felt disgusted, so I was deeply impressed.

The disgusting things in Shen Shao's impression were replaced by Luo Yisen, so he felt a little joyful.Now he imagined some kind of small animal in his head, crawling towards the roots and pooping.

Well, there is nothing aesthetically pleasing about this picture.can be ignored.

By this time, the sky had already darkened.Luo Yisen turned on the flashlight function of the phone, found a tree branch on the ground, and prepared to scrape away some soil to see the situation below.Shen Shao grabbed his hand, "Don't touch dirty things."

"I'll take a look."

"Go back and come back with gloves on."

Luo Yisen pouted, and looked at Shen Shao reluctantly.In fact, he was trying to be cute, hoping to fascinate Shen Shao, ignoring some small details.Unfortunately, Shen Qiye's eyes are sharp!Get him up, put him in his arms, "Go back."

"No!"

Shen Shao narrowed his eyes halfway, looking a little annoyed.Luo Yisen insisted on pouting, "No, no."

Then, the kid who tried to conquer Shen Qiye with his cuteness was kissed firmly on the mouth.

Damn, I didn't mean that!

Shen Shao's kiss was no more gentle and delicate than before, it became extra domineering and powerful.It seems that he is using the tip of his tongue to confirm his territory over and over again, and draw his own mark.Only after stamping and stamping can the restless boy follow him down the mountain in a proper manner.

A crisp and soft "rippling" feeling made Luo Yisen lose his strength.When he was let go, he leaned against Shen Shao's arms panting.He licked his lips, thinking to himself that he was really worthless.

"Go back." Shen Shao said.

The sun had already set towards the other side of the mountain. Without the sunshine, the mountain became much colder.Shen Shao thoughtfully took off his coat and put it on Luo Yisen, took his hand, and went back the same way.

When Luo Yisen didn't pay attention, Shen Shao looked back at the ancient maple tree and the half-seen human figure on the trunk.

Who are you?Shen Shao couldn't control himself not to think about this question.

Zhu Xiaomei's coffin has been set up, and many people from Zhu Kai's yard came to help.

Gongsun Jinzhao saw the two of them coming in through the door, and called everyone into the room to discuss in detail.

Gongsun Jin said frankly to everyone: "I have already told the nearest department to stay here in their name to investigate the cause of Zhu Xiaomei's death. It can be regarded as an excuse. To be cautious, Sima is temporarily acting as a forensic doctor, and Mr. Miao is accompanying the team." Consultant, Xiao Xi is his life assistant. The others are the same as me, so you don’t need to disguise your identity.” Then, the conversation changed, and he said, “From the death of Zhu Xiaomei to the present, I heard an interesting clue.”

"What clue?" Luo Yisen asked.

"You have also heard about the 'feng ghost'."

As soon as Gongsun Jin's words fell, Chu Zheng hurriedly followed, "What 'feng' ghost?"

"I don't know." Gongsun Jin said frankly, "I also asked a few villagers what the word was. They kept silent and even rejected me."

Hearing this, Luo Yisen and Shen Shaoqi were taken aback.Seeing that their expressions were different, Gongsun Jin shifted his attention, "Do you have something to say?"

Luo Yisen took out his mobile phone and showed everyone the picture of the maple tree.Chu Zheng was the first to see it, and was furious at that time, "What the hell is this?"

Sima Sitang also felt weird, but he didn't say anything.Lan Jingyang and Gongsun Jin were head to head, staring at the photo.On the other hand, Su Jie, after looking at the photos, set her eyes on Miao Yunnian's face.

Miao Yunnian glanced at Su Jie, "Girl, what do you want to ask?"

"Uncle, you have been here before. Have you seen it?" Su Jie asked.

For a moment, Miao Yunnian didn't know where to start.

A group of young people waited anxiously for Miao Yunnian to open up the conversation, but the old man didn't take Joe, but he didn't know how to tell it.

He didn't know everything about the few times he followed his father to Fengshu Village.Among the few memories left, Sanzhi is the most impressive.The rest is his savior, old boss Luo.

"My father told me that you can't go up the mountain." Miao Yunnian said, "You can play whatever you want in the village, but you can't go up the mountain. I asked Sister Shanzhi if there are any wild animals on the mountain, and why they are not allowed to go up. Shanzhi The girl didn't know what was there, she just said that children are not allowed to go up the mountain, only when they grow up."

"Sorry to interrupt." Chu Zheng raised his hand politely, "Grandpa, last time you told our boss that you were less than ten years old when you arrived here, right? How old is Granny Shanzhi?"

Xihulu hurriedly reported: "Master said, grandma Shanzhi was fifteen or sixteen at that time."

Miao Yunnian rolled his eyes at the little apprentice with hatred, "Sister is just a title, why are you fussing about so much?"

Everyone secretly despised old man Miao—for old and disrespectful!

Closer to home.Back then, Lao Miao did not allow Xiao Miao to go up the mountain, and Xiao Miao was not afraid of anything, except his father.Whatever his father said, he absolutely did not dare to resist.Not to mention things like sneaking out, Lao Miao would break Xiao Miao's legs.

Therefore, the maple tree on the mountain, and the "person" Miao Yunnian on the maple tree didn't know at all.

Gongsun Jin pushed the glasses on his face, and said: "This is a clue, and it is likely to have something to do with Shen Jian. People in the village don't talk about these things for any reason. If they want to know the specific situation, there must be a gap. This gap, Just trouble Miao Lao.”

On the surface, it was Miao Yunnian, but in fact, Gongsun Jin was referring to Grandma Shanzhi.

Miao Yunnian didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "When Lao Luotou was still alive, he had almost no contact with the people in the village. He was an old extinct family. However, Shanzhi was very kind to him, and gave him some food every now and then. Xiaoxi and I It will take about [-] hours to prepare for tonight to 'do' Lao Luo well. I'll go see Miss Shanzhi again."

Now that he had a plan for the next step, Gongsun Jin asked Lan Jingyang and Sima Sitang to find the village chief.Ask for a place to live together.

After Lan Jingyang and Sima Sitang left, Gongsun Jin looked at Chu Zheng and Luo Yisen emphatically, and said, "Chu Zheng, go check out Zhu Kai's tone; Yisen, hang out with Shen Shao in the village more often." Turn around, find out about Shen Jian. Be more secretive, don't startle the snake."

As for the maple trees on the mountain, Gongsun Jin thought about it, "Su Jie, let's go up the mountain tonight."

Su Jie picked up Luo Yisen's mobile phone again, looked at the photo of the maple tree, and said, "Look at the trunk and height, this tree is at least 500 years old. It's really going to be fine." Miao Yunnian said: "Uncle, my class is messed up. You think you are well-informed, have you ever encountered such a thing?"

Miao Yunnian frowned tightly, and said: "The west end of the village is a cemetery, and that's where I encountered unclean things. You can go and investigate."

Speaking of this, Luo Yisen asked one more question: "Old man, where did that old man Luo live?"

"It's at the west end of the village, next to the cemetery. Go find it."

Luo Yisen cast a bright and bright look at Shen Shao, Qi Ye held his forehead - this is really cute!

After the small meeting, Miao Yunnian and Xi Hulu stayed in the house waiting for Lan Jingyang to find a place to come back.Luo Yisen took Shen Shao and left Zhu Kai's house again, heading towards the west of the village.

There were many turns along the way, and Luo Yisen became more and more puzzled the more he walked, "It's only a small village of about twenty households, why is the road so difficult? I'm going around and around, I'm getting dizzy. By the way, Shen Shao, the photo Did you send it out?"

Shen Shao was holding Luo Yisen's hand, feeling the warmth of his palm.After being reminded by him, he realized that he never thought of his sixth son and dad.

"Hurry up, hurry up." Knowing that Shen Shao must have forgotten, Luo Yisen urged excitedly.

Shen Shao asked puzzledly: "Why?"

"Report the progress." Luo Yisen opened his eyes wide, with a smirk on his face, "I have to tell my family what we are doing."

You just think it's fun, right?

Shen Shao didn't expose Luo Yisen's little thought, took out his mobile phone and sent the photo to Shen Yan and his father.Soon, Shen Yan called, "Lao Qi, is the photo from P or the real thing?"

"Really." Shen Shao replied lazily.

"I've seen this before."

Shen Shao was taken aback, and directly pulled Luo Yisen into his arms, close to his face, and let him listen to Shen Yan's voice.

Shen Yan said: "The one on the photo should be called 'Maple Ghost'. In the first few years I went outside to collect wind, and got lost in the primeval forest."

"Shen Yan, please clarify. Which feng? The 'crazy' of a madman, or the 'wind' of a windy man?"

"The 'Maple' of the maple tree!" Shen Yan emphasized, "The one I saw was bigger than yours, and its facial features were clearer than yours. At that time, because I got lost and didn't dare to walk anymore, I camped under the maple tree. For two consecutive days , many people in the team had nightmares and suffered from strange skin diseases. Later, the local aborigines found us and took us out of the forest. They had a kind of herbal medicine, just rub it on. But, because they broke into the area without permission In the primeval forest, the natives drove us out after curing our disease."

Later, Shen Yan heard the guide talk about Feng Gui.It is said that the maple ghost is transformed by the soul of the unjustly dead, and because it cannot be liberated, it will always be attached to the maple tree.

"The guide said that maple ghosts can confuse people's minds, you two should be careful."

Luo Yisen suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and asked, "Does that strange skin disease look like an ulcer?"

"Yes, the skin is ulcerated, one by one. But it's not painful or itchy, it's just ulceration."

Sure enough, it was the same situation as Miss Zhu!

This time, without waiting for Luo Yisen to ask, Shen Shao said first: "If there is no indigenous herbal medicine, will you die?"

"No." Shen Yan said: "The guide told us that death won't kill you. But the ulcer won't heal either. In the end, people don't look like people, and ghosts don't look like ghosts."

Luo Yisen didn't expect that he would get a clue through a prank. The sixth son of the Shen family is still very good.Abandoning Shen Shao who continued to talk to Shen Yan on the phone, he contacted Gongsun Jin to pass on the news.

Gongsun Jin was also very excited, and even praised Shen Yan a few words.

After the exciting episode, Luo Yisen was even more excited.The footsteps became brisk.Shen Shao had no choice but to keep up with him, and he reached the western end of the village in a short while.

It's a pity that there are several places in the house, but half of the graveyard that Miao Yunnian was talking about was missing.Fortunately, Luo Yisen didn't have much interest in the cemetery. What he cared about was the old Luotou's residence.
