Chapter 29, Case 2, Zhou Di's Revenge
The fire 10 years ago completely burned Zhoudi.
Originally, the people of Yang Village thought the site of 'Zhoudi' was unlucky, but later found that 'Zhoudi' covered by ashes was suitable for the growth of corn and wheat.
In this way, Yangcun divided the "Zhoudi" privately.After years of bumper harvests, the villagers began to forget about the burnt "Zhoudi".
That's when the accident happened.From time to time, a burned body appeared at the entrance of the village. People found that those people were all villagers who ran to the entrance of the village with their hands on their hips and cursed when Zhou Di refused to help.
The villagers are spreading rumors that the resentful spirit of 'Zhou Di' has come back for revenge.
"At that time, 'Zhou Di' caught fire, and there was no one in Yang Village to rescue him?" Kang Wenwen sat huddled in the corner of the bed wrapped in a quilt, away from Du Qianlin.
Du Qianlin said, "Yes, but few. Only our family."
"Why?" Kang Wenwen asked two questions: "Why didn't other people save? Why did your family put out the fire?"
"The fire is too big, and they are more willing to stand on the sidelines. Our family... At that time, our family will help 'Zhoudi' to sell drugs. So it will be difficult if 'Zhoudi' is gone."
Kang Wenwen still felt strange, "Why can your family participate in them?"
"I didn't say anything about it, but I guess my mother is from Zhoudi."
Du Qianlin continued to explain, "As written in the message, it was my father who went to put out the fire 20 years ago. After the people in Zhou Di died, he returned home with a sad face every day, and he died not long after."
Kang Wenwen asked, "You and your brother, brothers?"
"The script says yes." Du Qianlin said.
Kang Wenwen tilted his head, kicked off the quilt and got out of bed, "Okay, you can continue to talk to me on the way."
Du Qianlin frowned, "Where are you going?"
Kang Wenwen asked back, "Where do you think you can go now?"
"Go and ask about the situation. Do you know who the murderer is just sitting at home like this?"
"You still have a fever." Du Qianlin dragged Kang Wenwen and pushed him onto the bed.
Kang Wenwen grabbed the wall and refused to go back, "What are you doing, my fever has subsided."
"It's almost noon now, and we are already far behind them. If we don't search for evidence, we will be identified by others."
"Then let them identify it." Du Qianlin sat back beside the bed, stretching out his hands to warm on the stove.
Kang Wenwen was a little unhappy, "Why are you so lacking in fighting spirit? Let them identify you and I'll go drink the northwest wind this week?"
Du Qianlin didn't understand "What does the identification have to do with your drinking northwest wind?"
Kang Wenwen said, "Why doesn't it matter? I have no money to eat, so I'm just waiting to make some money today."
Du Qianlin was in a daze, "Are you helping others practice?"
But I haven't heard that "71" can still be leveled.
Kang Wenwen was also stunned, "Du Qianlin, you don't know, do you?"
"What?" Du Qianlin now felt that he didn't know anything.
"K coins can be withdrawn." Kang Wenwen stared into Du Qianlin's eyes.
Du Qianlin's eyes changed from doubt to disbelief "Really?"
Kang Wenwen was sure that he really didn't know.Nodding, "Really."
After speaking, he squeezed to Du Qianlin's side and said, "Open it and I will teach you how to withdraw cash."
Du Qianlin opened it obediently. He only knew that k coins could be used as currency in "71", but he didn't expect that they could be withdrawn and used as real currency.
"Have you opened it?" Kang Wenwen blinked his eyes, and Du Qianlin turned to look at him, only to realize that the two of them are now very close.
"En." Du Qianlin's eyes kept drifting to Kang Wenwen, and he hummed softly.
Kang Wenwen remembered that Du Qianlin's points were very high, which meant that he should also have a lot of K coins.
"How many? Is there three or four thousand?"
Du Qianlin did not answer this time.
Kang Wenwen realized that he shouldn't have asked this question. Did he really lose his mind when he asked how much money someone wanted?
"I'll just ask casually...you will jump out of the interface if you press and hold that number." After speaking, he moved to the other side of the bed to reassure Du Qianlin.
Du Qianlin knew that Kang Wenwen was trying to avoid suspicion, but seeing him sitting far away, Du Qianlin didn't know why he felt uncomfortable.
Looking up at the number in front of him, Du Qianlin shook his head again and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Have you withdrawn the cash?" Kang Wenwen asked, turning his head towards the wall.
Du Qianlin smiled and said, "It's done."
Kang Wenwen immediately came over again, "You will receive a text message for cash withdrawal when you go out. Now let's search for evidence."
"you..."
Kang Wenwen was so fast that he raised his hand to stop what Du Qianlin was about to say.
"I've got my fever down, and I want to make money, and besides, it's going to be okay in the game."
"The last time I sprained my ankle in a game, it was the next day. I didn't find anything wrong with me after I went out." Without any explanation, Kang Wenwen dragged Du Qianlin out.
Kang Wenwen was wearing the cotton padded jacket and trousers that Du Qianlin brought back for him, and he was holding the village chief's clothes in his hand, ready to give the village chief back to go back and talk casually.
But the village chief didn't even have a polite word after picking up the clothes, so he was about to see off the guests.
"Hey, can the village chief tell me about the past?" Kang Wenwen asked.
The old village head with a white beard was silent for a while, then said with a shaking beard.
"I do not know anything."
Kang Wenwen and Du Qianlin, who were shut out by the village head, looked at each other in blank dismay.
"You should continue talking." Kang Wenwen smiled wryly at Du Qianlin.
Du Qianlin said, "Don't ask other people, the village chief doesn't even say that the villagers hate you even more. Let me take you to a place first."
Kang Wenwen pursed his lips, indeed.
"Then talk as you walk, didn't we just say that people would be burned to death every once in a while."
"Well, at first those who cursed 'Zhoudi' were burned to death, and then their family members." Du Qianlin said.
"There are two opinions about the murderer and the villagers. One is the revenge of the resentful soul, and the other is the revenge of the survivors." Du Qianlin nodded Kang Wenwen with his chin.
"You are the murderer they think."
Kang Wenwen smiled and said, "Of course it can't be a resentful soul, but revenge should be real. Otherwise, why would you choose to burn to death, so cruel..."
Du Qianlin heard Kang Wenwen's voice suddenly stop, turned his head to look but found that Kang Wenwen was frowning.
"what happened?"
Kang Wenwen asked, "Was the deceased in the past burned alive or burned after death?"
Du Qianlin thought for a while, then shrugged and said, "I don't know, how can these villagers tell whether it is after death or before death."
Kang Wenwen tilted his head, yes.
"Then do you think the dead were burned to death this time?"
Du Qianlin shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Kang Wenwen said, "I don't think so."
Du Qianlin laughed and said, "But the dead man's arms are like fighting fists."
Kang Wenwen looked at Du Qianlin smiling and glanced at himself, knowing that he wanted to test himself.
"Yes, although most of the body's fighting fists appear to be burned alive, but it will also appear if it was burned not long after death. Fighting fists are not a necessary condition for judging the cause of death of a burned corpse."
Kang Wenwen went on to say, "Didn't you find the wound on the back of his head? That should be his fatal injury."
"He has wounds, but he still can't tell." Du Qianlin replied.
Kang Wenwen lowered his eyes, Du Qianlin should think carefully.
"By the way, what did you find when you pressed his wound?" Although Kang Wenwen was a little confused at the time, he still knew what Du Qianlin was doing.
Du Qianlin raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't expect you to know all of this?"
Kang Wenwen pursed the corners of his mouth, looking less proud, "Me? Seniors told me."
Du Qianlin looked at his proud little appearance, laughed and said, "Usually to judge whether there is a fracture, you can press the wound to hear if there is a bone friction sound. But this time there is no one."
"No?" Kang Wenwen said, "But the skull is hard, there is no fracture, and intracranial hemorrhage is common."
Du Qianlin nodded, "That's why I can't judge now. It varies from person to person. Some people die soon from intracranial hemorrhage, and some people are fine after raising their heads. What I can't judge is that the deceased was burned after death. Burned to death in a coma."
Kang Wenwen waved his hands and said, "Forget it, so don't worry about the cause of death. Anyway, he died last night."
Du Qianlin said, "It's different. Burning after death is different from being stunned and burned to death."
"I know what you mean." Kang Wenwen said, "But we need to know the cause of death of those who died before, but those people were buried. Do you want to open the coffin for autopsy? Even if you dare, the villagers will not object, but those corpses What can you tell it's rotten flesh?"
Du Qianlin lowered his eyes and said nothing.
Du Qianlin took Kang Wenwen all the way to the entrance of the village. The corpse was supposed to be carried to the small hut in the village where the dead were released, but Du Qianlin's house happened to have a vacant room, so he asked someone to send it to him. After all, the deceased was his "brother".
Kang Wenwen thought that Du Qianlin might want to go to see the scene, but Du Qianlin had no intention of stopping at all, and continued walking without raising his head.
Kang Wenwen opened the map and looked at the direction the two of them were walking. There was a field over there, which was also the site of the former "Zhoudi".
I don't know if it was unlocked today or because I went to too many places. The map is not as simple as last night, and there are many mini huts representing houses.And the field that is about to go is a piece of green with several horizontal and vertical lines painted on it.
As he walked, Kang Wenwen felt something was wrong again, why did he walk towards the edge of the field?
Eh?
Only then did Kang Wenwen see a small white rectangle not far ahead on the map.If it wasn't for going this way, Kang Wenwen would have thought it was just a big rock drawn on a map.
After putting away the map, Du Qianlin also stopped.Kang Wenwen saw a forest in front of him, but when the wind blew the trees, Kang Wenwen could vaguely see a little white between the trunks.
"what is that?"
When Du Qianlin heard Kang Wenwen's question, he didn't answer, "Don't you know if you go and see?"
Kang Wenwen followed Du Qianlin through these dense tree trunks.
These tree trunks are very strange. The height looks like it has grown for many years, but it is very thin like small branches that have just been planted in the ground.These twisted trunks really have no aesthetic feeling.
The forest grows so densely that no sunlight can leak in.When the wind blows, the forest looks even more gloomy.
"Who planted these trees?"
Du Qianlin replied, "I don't know, it seems to grow like this. Does it look like some lonely ghosts?"
Kang Wen heard the words and looked up. Those tree trunks seemed to know that someone had come in, and when they were looking at them, they made a "woo-woo" sound and twisted the branches. It really looked like some resentful spirits were floating here.
"arrive."
When Kang Wenwen was looking at those "lonely ghosts", Du Qianlin suddenly stopped. Kang Wenwen didn't pay attention and bumped directly into Du Qianlin's back.
Du Qianlin was startled by him, turned around and quickly stabilized himself.
Seeing Kang Wenwen looking up with a dazed expression on his head, Du Qianlin couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you scared by 'they'? If you want me to carry you behind your back, just say it."
Kang Wenwen gave him a blank look, stretched out his hand and pushed Du Qianlin away to see the white thing clearly.
