Sun Zhenbang thought hard, "Could it be that they took drugs or drank alcohol and had hallucinations, so they accidentally committed manslaughter?"
The forensic doctor shook his head, "We tested their stomachs and there were no traces of drugs or alcohol in them, which means their actions should have occurred while they were sober."
They are human traffickers who seek wealth rather than life.
And even if there were any discord, disputes and disagreements, it would be impossible to kill someone. Even if it were to kill someone, the traces of the fight should not be so tragic.
Judging from the marks caused by the wounds, these three people seemed to have a life-or-death feud and had reached the point where they would never stop fighting.
Especially one of Ma Tian's ears was bitten off by Wu Liangxin, and Yang Cheng's legs were broken.
Those who didn't know the situation thought they had a blood feud.
In terms of emotion and reason, they had no reason or motive to kill.
There is also the issue of excessive fright.
Sun Zhenbang couldn't figure out what could make them lose their minds. I'm afraid only the person involved could know.
The results of the autopsy not only did not make the matter clearer, but instead pushed Sun Zhenbang into another fog.
He couldn't help but question: "Is the result really correct? Did they really die at the hands of their own people? And were they frightened before they died?"
The forensic doctor showed a helpless smile, "Officer Sun, I have been doing this for decades, when did you see me making mistakes?"
Yang Cheng died of Ma Tian, Ma Tian died of Wu Liangxin, and Wu Liangxin died of Yang Cheng. Everything formed a closed loop.
What did they see before they died?
All this is like a snake biting its tail, it is simply in a state of no solution.
No one knows what happened that night that caused them to fight, but all the traffickers were wiped out, and no one was spared.
Why was Liu Siming not there at that time, and what role did he play inside.
Also, is the person who killed Liu Siming the same person who killed Li Han and the others before?
Many mysteries emerged in Sun Zhenbang's mind.
He stayed up almost all night, thinking about all these things.
The next morning, Sun Zhenbang helped to get up early and went to the police station to sort out the information from last night.
The cause of death of smuggler Li Han was the same as that of Liu Siming, but because the murder weapon was not found in the end, and because they searched the mountain to no avail and could not find a suspect, the matter had to be left alone.
But now Liu Siming's wounds indicate that maybe this person has been hiding in the mountains. As for why he attacked Liu Siming, we don't know yet.
The remaining three killed each other.
Sun Zhenbang wrote all the information he knew on the blackboard, and at the same time drew several crossed arrows, and finally put a big question mark on the same place where the crime occurred.
All things are inseparable from this mountain.
Sun Zhenbang packed his things and planned to go to Longyuan Village again to see if he could find out any useful information.
He thought of the mountain god that the little girl said?
Sun Zhenbang wrote the name of the mountain god on the blackboard again and drew a question mark.
Is this so-called "mountain god" a figment of the little girl's imagination, or is it someone pretending to be?
If he was pretending to be someone, could he be the real murderer?
As the smoke rises, the crowing of cocks and the sound of people can be faintly heard in the small village, and the whole village wakes up from its deep sleep, indicating that a new day is coming.
There are usually no thieves in Longyuan Village. It is calm all year round and nothing major happens.
Even the gossip about the widow's house in the east of the village can be told in the last ten days and a half, let alone something as big as last night.
All four traffickers died suddenly on the mountain. Hu Xiaocao came back safe and sound. In addition, what she said was heard by many villagers present at the time.
"Do you think there really is a mountain god on this mountain?"
In the past, the villagers did not believe in these things, but after Hu Xiaocao's appearance, they became a little doubtful.
"There must be a mountain god. That girl Xiaocao usually worships and worships the mountain god when she has nothing to do. The mountain god saw how sincere she was, so he protected her and punished the bad guys."
Hu Xiaocao worshiping the mountain god is something that everyone can see. It can be said that it is rain or shine. At first, no one believed it and couldn't bear to expose the little girl's fantasy.
But now it seems that they were wrong. When Hu Xiaocao was in danger, the mountain god took decisive action.
"Who says it's not the case? Those traffickers died strangely. I heard Zhu Zhu say that when he went up the mountain and found the bodies, his eyes were wide open and his expression was very frightening, as if he had seen something."
"There must be something dirty on the mountain."
"Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? We have gone into the mountain so many times and nothing has happened. The mountain god is fair and strict and will only punish bad people."
The voice of the villager who said this became smaller and smaller, and he looked up at the green mountains not far away, as if he was worried about disturbing something, and his expression was full of awe.
"Then it's time for us to worship the mountain god and wish our Longyuan Village good weather in the coming year."
"I think it's okay. Sincerity is the spirit. I hope the mountain god doesn't blame us for worshiping him so late."
Several villagers who were planting rice in the field were discussing there, and they happened to be listened to by Sun Zhenbang and others who entered the village.
Several people looked at each other.
This was the second time they heard the word "mountain god".
Yesterday it was in Hu Xiaocao's mouth, and today it is in the mouth of these villagers.
Judging from the tone of the villagers, it seems that the mountain god and Hu Xiaocao are closely related. Several human traffickers have all died, and the only survivor is this seven-year-old girl.
Sun Zhenbang analyzed: "It seems that if we want to find a breakthrough, we can only start with Hu Xiaocao. Let's go to the village chief first and explore the situation."
Everyone went all the way to the village chief's house.
When the village chief learned of their arrival, he welcomed them very warmly, "Comrade police, sit down quickly. I don't have anything to entertain you at home. I grew this melon myself, and it's very sweet."
Sun Zhenbang waved his hands repeatedly.
"You're welcome, village chief. We are here this time mainly because we want to investigate the matter about Hu Xiaocao and the human traffickers. After all, it involves four lives. Please tell me what happened again."
The village chief nodded repeatedly, extremely cooperative, "That's natural."
It's still the same truth. Even if people like Yang Cheng and Ma Tian commit heinous crimes, there are laws to punish them.
If these things are man-made, as police officers, they must catch the murderer in order to maintain social order and justice.
No one is above the law, even if he is doing justice for heaven, punishing evil and promoting good. The world only needs a kind of rules and order.
When you stare into the abyss, the abyss stares back into you.
Sun Zhenbang has seen too many such examples. Dragon slayers eventually become evil dragons, and civil violence is undesirable.
If it is the same person who killed Li Han and others this time, then he has already had several lives on his hands.
This kind of behavior must be strictly prohibited.
