Di Ying was reminded and her eyes widened suddenly.
He immediately ordered: "Go and sort out all the missing cases, accidental deaths, etc. of men in Langde County from fourteen years ago to the present that match the age of the five people!"
The guards acted upon the order.
Di Ying also stood up, stepped on the grass in the canyon, and paced back and forth.
It is absolutely impossible for five people to be erased from this world quietly. So far, all the clues he could think of have finally been broken.
Then, there is only the last possibility of accident.
There are not many young men missing or dying accidentally. Even though it's from fourteen years ago, it's not a lot.
When the guards reported back news one by one, Di Ying led people non-stop and began to examine the bodies one by one.
Examine the remains of those who died accidentally, and you can still find the remains.
Then perform skull reconstruction and compare the possible appearances of Zhuang Zhiyong’s five people.
In other words: Di Yingyou drew all the possible changes in the appearance of the five Zhuang Zhiyong people over the past fourteen years.
As for the portrait of the missing man at the time of his disappearance, the guards also drew it based on the description of their family members.
The arduous and trivial work finally came to fruition after their unremitting and meticulous efforts.
There was a man in Daqu Village, Langde County, who disappeared thirteen years ago.
The man was rescued from the mountains and forests by the villagers of Daqu Village one year before he disappeared.
He said that his head was hit so hard that he couldn't remember who he was.
The kind-hearted villager asked his daughter to "marry" him.
A year later, I don’t know where the fool ran away, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
In Linjian Village, there was a man who died unexpectedly ten years ago.
He went into the mountain to cut firewood and was killed by a wild beast.
The villagers said that the man rescued a childless old couple in their village during a heavy rain, and the old couple adopted the man after that.
According to Di Ying's examination of the man's bones, he found that there were too many beast bite marks on his bones, and there was more than one type.
Generally, you won’t go too far into the mountains to cut firewood. The chance of encountering a ferocious beast is actually very low. And this man not only encountered more than one.
The bones were incomplete.
Di Ying reconstructed his face and showed it to the villagers to confirm that it was that man.
In other words: the cause of death of this man was different.
In Mincun, Zhouzhou, nine years ago, a man also died unexpectedly.
At that time, people from two villages got into a fight over a trivial matter.
Afterwards, the man was found beaten to death.
If there are casualties in such group fights, the government will not pursue them to the end. The villagers could only sigh that the man was unlucky and buried him.
As for the man's identity, the villagers remembered that he was a foreigner.
He is said to be an orphan who wandered here.
Maybe he gave the village chief a gift, so the village took him in and gave him a shabby thatched hut to live in.
He was diligent and willing to help the people in the village, so the people in the village quickly accepted him.
It's just that he has a weird temper and doesn't have a wife and children.
Eight years ago, a man also died unexpectedly in Lianshan Village.
He said he came to the village to find relatives, and he looked extremely pitiful.
My relatives are nowhere to be found, and I have nowhere to go. The kind-hearted village chief allowed him to settle in the village.
He was married and had children. Eight years ago, he was said to have drowned while trying to save three children who fell into the water.
All three children were rescued, but the man died in the river due to exhaustion.
After comparing Di Ying's portraits, it was found that these four men were Zhuang Hei, Zhuang Bai, Zhuang Dan and Zhuang Ming.
Because Zhuang Ming died saving others, his body was properly buried by the villagers.
After Di Ying examined his bones, he came to the conclusion that this man was killed.
That is to say: while he was rescuing the three children, someone grabbed his feet under the water and drowned him.
There were sprains and sharp blade wounds on the bones.
The sharp blade wound on the ankle. Perhaps to prevent him from kicking or something, the murderer stabbed his ankle.
There were also some twisting injuries and scars from being dragged so hard that the bones and joints were loosened.
This may be because the murderer interrogated the victim first.
For example: I happened to verify the identity of the other party in the dense forest by the river. After confirming that the other party was the person I was looking for, I saw three children falling into the water, so I stabbed the other party's ankle and threw the other party into the river. , forcing the other party to save people.
If the other party doesn't dare to resist, just go and save him honestly.
This means that the murderer also took action and participated in rescuing the three children. Otherwise, given the injuries of the victim at the time, it would be impossible to save all three children.
The victim also had a chance to escape.
When the villagers found wounds on the victim's body, they would not be surprised. They would only think that they were injured by stones on the bottom of the river or something.
At this point, Di Ying has been able to determine: these four people should at least be responsible for harming Chunhua.
The simplest reason to judge: I ran away from home, didn't go far, didn't go home yet, and used various excuses to hide in another village not far from home, just to avoid something.
"But sir, since the last time they died was eight years ago, it has been at least eight years. Why do their real family members still think they are still alive?"
Xie Jing asked strangely after hearing the adult's conclusion.
Previously, the adults said: The families of the five people always thought that the five people were alive, and that the five people must be related to their families.
Isn't this a contradiction?
Di Ying listened to the question, sighed, and replied: "Maybe their families actually know that the people who harmed the spring flowers are them.
After they left home, they came back secretly or had contact with their families, so that their families knew about it.
Their families naturally chose to help them hide it.
After that, they will think that they are living well.
And after they never showed up again, it was thought that they were living quietly somewhere else to keep secrets.
Sometimes, not disturbing is the best way to keep things secret. "
After saying that, Di Ying asked Xie Jing: "Zhuang Zhiyong's whereabouts are not yet available. This means that he may not have settled in any village at all. So, what is he doing?"
Xie Jing blurted out: "Zhuang Zhiyong must be in Langde County."
Zhou Lin objected.
"murderer."
Di Ying nodded to Zhou Lin with a smile and said, "A-Lin is right. We currently know that Zhuang Hei and the four of them died in different circumstances. They were not accidents but were murdered.
So, who is going to look for their whereabouts?
Who would attack them who have concealed their identities?
There is only one possibility, and that is that Zhuang Zhiyong has actually been chasing them. "
"But sir, why did Zhuang Zhiyong do this? Didn't the villagers of Chundhuang Village say that the five of them left together? There were also road guides, weren't they also the five of them?
So, Zhuang Zhiyong should know the whereabouts of the other four people, right? Why did it take so many years to find and kill them? "
Nie Bo was puzzled.
