As soon as Zhang Hazi finished speaking, the village chief of Xiejia Village walked into the yard surrounded by everyone, and then sighed and asked people to put the body down from the rafters. Immediately, people were arranged to find the coffin and prepare for the burial.
Seeing how well he arranged it, I couldn't help but sigh secretly. It seems that the village chief is not that easy to be.
But I quickly came to my senses, and then hurriedly asked Zhang Hazi, what was going on? What do you mean you were almost fooled?
Zhang Hazi did not answer me, but whispered to me, "Hazuzu, help me see if there are words written on the backs of the two of them."
Ever since Zhang Hazi became blind, I have been his eyes, so I have to do this kind of thing no matter how unwilling I am.
It's just that in Xiejia Village, I don't have that much right to intervene in the cleanup of the corpses of their own people, so I had to take Xie Bugui with me and let him negotiate.
Xie Bugui talked for a while before we got the agreement.
Xie Bugui and I walked into the main room and worked together to turn one of the corpses over.
I originally thought that Zhang Hazi knew things well, so I concentrated my eyes to see what words were written on it. However, after looking for a long time, I didn’t see even a single word on the back of the corpse. The clothes were also clean. , not even a single stain.
I felt a little embarrassed on my face, feeling that making a mistake in front of so many people would damage Zhang Hazi's prestige. So he hurried to Zhang Hazi and whispered to him that there was no writing on his back.
But Zhang Hazi didn't believe it at all. Instead, he walked into the main room and personally directed me to remove the clothes of the corpse in front of me.
As soon as these words came out, the village chief and others immediately stopped, saying that it was the deceased who was the most important, and doing so was an offense to the deceased. They did not agree with us stripping the clothes of the corpse, even though the person who gave the order was Zhang Hazi, so he helped They can't even figure out what happened fifty-five years ago.
In the end, he thanked Bugui for his hard work, and everyone agreed.
I don’t know why, but the body has already become rigor mortis, which is a bit strange in summer. Logically speaking, normal rigor mortis would never happen so fast.
Xie Bugui and I took a lot of effort to take off the outer layer of clothes, but there was still no writing on the back, but there were some blood stains.
At this time, no matter how hard it was to say thank you or not, the village chief and others urged us to take off our clothes quickly.
After all the clothes were taken off, everyone couldn't help but exclaimed when they saw the blood stains on the corpse.
Zhang Hazi's guess was correct. This was indeed not suicide, but homicide! The blood marks on the back of this corpse are the best evidence.
The village chief had already ordered others to undress another corpse, and through the twilight, I could clearly see that on the back of the corpse in front of me, there were four vertical blood marks, at both ends of the four blood marks. , and two horizontal blood stains.
The entire scar looks like a 'four' character.
Before I could figure out what this meant, someone shouted that another corpse also had writing on its back.
I hurriedly stretched my neck and looked over, and found that it was also the word "four", but the two vertical lines in the middle and the blood stains on the uppermost section seemed not as deep as the previous "four".
After I described this situation to Zhang Hazi, I quickly asked Zhang Hazi what was going on?
Zhang Hazi said calmly, "If you find something to wipe off the blood on their backs, you will know that something is wrong."
I searched around, then took a handful of paper money from the shrine, pushed away the villagers, and began to wipe the back of one of the corpses.
Seeing this, Xie Bugui also took some paper money and wiped the back of the other corpse.
After we wiped away the blood stains, the 'writings' on the backs of the two corpses were clearly visible, and then there were gasps of cold air in the huge hall and yard.
What's more, he fell to his knees directly on the ground and began to cry hoarsely. The frightened situation was worse than the sky falling.
I can understand why they were so panicked, because on the backs of the bodies of Xie Buxin and Xie Chuanji, except for four blood marks on the top, bottom, left and right, there were no blood marks at all on the rest of the bodies, but they were stabbed into the back one by one. The bloody hole!
Just because the two corpses were hung on the beams, the blood flowing out of the blood holes formed the shape of the word "four", and no one could recognize them for a while.
Therefore, the patterns on the backs of these two people are clearly the numbers of the dice, one is six and the other is four, which are exactly the same as the numbers on the beams of Xie Bugui's main room!
The dark cloud of terror from fifty-five years ago once again enveloped everyone present.
Moreover, now that the dice have been played, and the dead are Xie Chuanji and Xie Buxin who were not affected fifty-five years ago, what this means is well understood by everyone present. This is why they are so scared and frightened.
It took me a long time to recover from the shock, and then I ran up to Zhang Hazi and asked him in a low voice, how do you know there are dice points on their backs?
Zhang Hazi said, because they both wore old and new clothes.
Let me tell you, is this a reason?
Zhang Hazi said, you just said you were old, and the murderer would not give them two new clothes unless he was too idle. But the fact is that the two of them are indeed wearing new clothes. Do you know what this means?
I mean, it shows that the murderer wanted to create the illusion that they committed suicide.
Zhang Hazi nodded and said, if that's the case, why did Ziha want to keep the two of them close and leave such an obvious loophole?
Since the other party wants to create the illusion that the two of them committed suicide, why would they leave such an obvious flaw for us?
I rolled my eyes at Zhang Hazi and said, I think you are in Versailles, because only you saw this flaw, and no one else did.
Zhang Hazi shook his head and said, since the other party knew that I was here, he knew that I should be able to tell. But he hung these two corpses together. Do you know why?
I thought about it, then shook my head and said that maybe there was not enough time. After hanging one, I had no time to move the ladder, so I had to hang the other one as well.
Zhang Hazi said that he had time to poke holes in his back and change his clothes, but would he not have time to hang them up?
That's right, it's just time to change the ladder. There's no way the other party can't even take this little time. In this case, why did the other party hang the two corpses together?
Zhang Hazi said that because the other party had to hang the two bodies together.
I asked, why?
He asked, have you ever seen playing mahjong with only one dice?
I shook my head and said, I have never seen it.
Zhang Hazi said that this was not about getting old, because when playing mahjong, two dice must come together to count, so he had to put the two corpses together.
It suddenly dawned on me, tell me, so based on this, you judged that there were dice points on their backs?
Zhang Hazi said, this is just a guess, but when I heard you say that their clothes are all clean, I felt something was wrong. Since it was a homicide, why did Ziha change their clothes? They must be hiding their secrets from us, so they had to change their clothes. And in this way, there is no need to bother bathing them before they are buried, otherwise any secrets on their bodies will be buried in the soil!
After listening to Zhang Hazi's explanation, my scalp felt numb. This ability to connect beads is too powerful, right?
Moreover, after taking off his clothes, what was clearly revealed was the word 'four'. How could he be so sure that it would be the number of a dice?
Zhang Hazi said, because you said that the color of the upper part of the two vertical drops in the middle of one of the "four" characters is lighter, it means that this is not a complete scratch, but the blood left to form a blood mark. Four o'clock is two points less than six o'clock, which just fits this situation.
Can you relate to such a small detail?
I now regret not studying medicine. Otherwise, I would have cut open Zhang Hazi’s head to see if the structure inside was different from that of ordinary people.
After sighing with emotion, I asked Zhang Hazi, "So you just said you were almost fooled, was it because you almost didn't notice the dice points on their backs?"
Zhang Hazi nodded and said, if we hadn't discovered these two 'dices', what consequences do you think there would have been?
I thought of the tragedy fifty-five years ago, and my body couldn't stop shaking. I tremblingly said three words: Everyone must die!
