When several people were panicking, they unexpectedly heard a piercing scream, and then there was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

"You... why are you in my house?" Li Bing and others were greatly surprised when they heard this. They followed the sound and found out that it was Wang Shouyi who was sitting paralyzed on the ground.

Policeman Wang Ming breathed a sigh of relief and shouted: "Wang Shouyi, you are trying to scare us to death by pretending to be a ghost?"

At this time, Wang Shouyi also used the weak light to see clearly the people in front of him. He said bitterly: "You still come to blame me? You suddenly appeared in my house and almost scared me to death."

Wang Ming asked with a straight face: "Wang Shouyi, tell me honestly, where were you just now? How did you appear suddenly?"

Wang Shouyi was startled and said: "What? Can't I stay at home? What kind of royal law have I broken?"

The police officer shouted: "Wang Shouyi, you kid, stop being so harsh. We suspect that your father, Old Wangtou, committed suicide. You are a serious suspect, so why don't you answer the question honestly?"

Wang Shouyi was shocked when he saw two policemen blocking his way. He said hurriedly: "It's none of my business. My father really died accidentally. I was looking for something in the backyard cellar just now. Wait.

I came out and just came into the house with a flashlight. Suddenly I saw so many people under the lights. I thought it was haunted and it almost scared me to death."

Li Bing asked suspiciously: "Wang Shouyi, you said you were in the cellar in the afternoon, why are you in the cellar again at night? This doesn't seem normal?"

Wang Shouyi hurriedly defended: "You think I want to be in the cellar? It's not because our family is poor. No, we haven't even collected the money for my father's coffin. Although it's past the Lantern Festival, the weather is still unbearably cold. This is a mountainous area

, but it’s not like there is heating in the city. I really couldn’t stand the cold, so I hid in the cellar to get warm.”

Wang Ming looked Wang Shouyi up and down, and he really looked pitiful. He was wearing such thin clothes in such a cold weather.

Wang Ming nodded and said, "Wang Shouyi, this is understandable. But tell me, how did your father, Old Wangtou, die? Why are there scars on his eye sockets?"

Wang Shouyi sighed and said: "Comrade police, I didn't go home that day. My father was at home alone. He might have been too drunk. When he went to the backyard for a convenience, he unfortunately bumped into a scaffolding and injured his eyes and ears. I guess.

The old man passed out from the pain and froze to death. It’s really sad.”

As Wang Shouyi spoke, he lifted the shroud covering his father's head and face, pointed to his ears and said, "If you don't believe me, look, half of the ears are scratched like this. How pitiful, my old father, died like this."

awful."

Wang Shouyi started to cry as he spoke. Seeing him like this, everyone's impression of Wang Shouyi's brutality was reduced by most, and they all began to sympathize with him.

Wang Ming was no longer afraid at this time. He looked at the wounds on Lao Wang's head carefully and thought: "These two wounds don't seem to be fatal injuries. That's all. I'd better call the criminal police team to come and take a look."

Half an hour later, several police officers from the county criminal police team drove two police cars to the foot of the hillside. Since the car had no way to go, they had no choice but to walk to the door of Lao Wangtou's house.

After a busy period, the forensic doctor reported that there were no abnormalities in the autopsy. Apart from injuries to his eyes and ears, there were no other injuries on Lao Wang's head. Those two wounds were not fatal, and the body showed no signs of poisoning. It was indeed frozen to death.

Shi Liya nervously told the detectives that Lao Wangtou's body had just been faked. The detectives stared at Shi Liya suspiciously. When Wang Ming saw this, he also hurriedly testified, saying that everyone had seen it with their own eyes.

After listening to Wang Ming's description, the forensic doctor smiled lightly and said disdainfully: "This is not a fake corpse. It is after a person dies, some functions of the body are not completely dead. After receiving certain stimulation from the outside world or oneself,

That’s what happens.”

After policeman Wang Ming heard about it, he suddenly became more courageous. He scolded Wang Shouyi and said: "Wang Shouyi, your father is dead, and you didn't report it to the town. By the way, I advise you not to think of any way to kill the old Wang.

What kind of coffin did you buy? In response to the country's call, the old Wang's head was cremated and no burial was allowed."

When Wang Shouyi heard this, he became furious and quarreled with Wang Ming. The deputy captain of the criminal police who led the team stopped the two of them coldly and said, "We are not responsible for funeral matters. But Wang Shouyi, you have to understand.

You will be punished for illegal burials. You have to bury Lao Wangtou for a few days. We have no control over this, but we will never allow burial."

Wang Shouyi did not dare to say anything anymore, and a group of police officers left. Li Bing and the others also left Lao Wangtou's home.

When the five people were discussing in the small hotel, Zhao Waner suddenly said: "No, I don't think Wang Shouyi is a good person. He has a rough face. Didn't Brother Zhang also say that? There is still a layer of death on his face. I doubt this.

There’s something weird about it.”

Li Bing was stunned and said: "Wan'er, the police and forensic doctors have investigated it. There is nothing suspicious."

Zhao Waner shook her head and said, "No, haven't you seen him crawling into the cellar? Do you really believe that he did it to keep warm? I think there are some ulterior secrets hidden in the cellar."

Li Bing said puzzledly: "Wan'er, think about it carefully. If he had any ulterior secrets hidden in the cellar, would he tell us that there were policemen? Did he come out of the cellar? Isn't he afraid of the police?

To search the cellar?"

Zhao Waner was stunned and couldn't help but nodded, but she still felt that Wang Shouyi and the cellar were suspicious.

Qian Yiduo, who seldom spoke, suddenly said: "Miss Zhao's suspicion is not unreasonable."

Several people were surprised, and Zhang Yuanshan asked impatiently: "Brother Qian, why did you say that? Did you discover something?"

Qian Yiduo said slowly: "In my opinion, this dead old Wangtou is not an ordinary honest mountain man."

"Why?" Zhang Yuanshan was even more surprised.

Qian Yiduo said: "I saw old Wangtou's hands. There was a thick layer of calluses on the fingers. This is not like the calluses left by ordinary mountain people cutting firewood and working, but should be left by tomb robbers.

The mark on my hand. If you don’t believe it, look at my hand. It’s basically the same as Lao Wangtou’s.”

Qian Yiduo stretched out his two hands. Several people took a closer look and found that the location of the calluses left by the farmers was indeed different from what they thought. Thinking back carefully, Lao Wangtou's hands looked like this.

.

Qian Yiduo continued: "I found something in the corner of the main room of Lao Wangtou's house, so I quietly stuffed it into my pocket. Do you think what is this?"

Qian Yiduo took out a small black iron block with a hook from his pocket. The four of them looked at it for a while and all shook their heads. They had never seen such a thing before.

Qian Yiduo smiled and said nothing. He turned around and took out something from his closet and placed it in front of everyone.

Li Bing looked at it for a while and exclaimed: "I understand, the iron block from Lao Wangtou's house is almost exactly the same as the elbow on the Luoyang shovel used by Brother Qian to rob the tomb."

Qian Yiduo said: "Brother Li Bing is right. Although we used a military shovel at Yan's Tomb last time, after all, it was used by engineers in the army, not for tomb robbers. I will bring it when I come this time.

I bought my own Luoyang shovel. The semi-circular elbow can not only dig up soil, but what’s even better is that it can also dig out a round hole in an almost vertical way. In this way, without damaging the surrounding environment

, can analyze the soil quality of the soil layer from the dug soil, so as to determine whether there are ancient tombs underground."

Qian Yiduo said with some pride: "From these two points, I can see that Lao Wangtou was a master of tomb robbing during his lifetime. A person like him should have dug out valuable cultural relics, and he would never live in such poverty.

Just now I heard Miss Zhao talk about his cellar, so I guessed that maybe Lao Wangtou buried the cultural relics he dug in the cellar."

Li Bing said thoughtfully: "It seems that Wang Shouyi must be looking for the cultural relics buried by Old Wangtou in the cellar. But he would say it so frankly, which proves that he found nothing. Could it be that this Old Wangtou is really

He is an expert and has more eyes than others, so he has two cellars, one light and one dark?"

Several people were stunned, and after thinking about it, they all felt that it made sense.

Qian Yiduo continued: "You didn't look carefully at Wang Shouyi. In my opinion, he is also a tomb robber. But tomb robbers generally do not work together as father and son. Therefore, it is very likely that Wang Shouyi, who also robbed the tomb, discovered the old man.

The king has been hiding a secret for a long time and covets the treasure, so he disowns his relatives and has murderous intentions."

Zhao Waner was frightened when she heard this and said: "The human heart in this world is really more terrifying than ghosts. If Brother Qian's conjecture is true, then what Brother Zhang said will definitely come true. The old Wangtou's wronged soul will appear in the first seven reincarnations."
