Chapter 1 The Unsolved Case Twenty-Three Years Ago
My father died when my mother was just two months pregnant with me. It is common for birth, old age, sickness and death. You may sigh that your father left early enough, but if I say that my father's death is the biggest unsolved case in the past 20 years, I think everyone would want to hear this story.
To be precise, it should be twenty-three years ago.
That year, my father died, and the first person to discover him in the morning is no longer here. When he was alive, everyone in the village called him Er Sizi. It is said that when Er Sizi was young, he was not only a human appearance, but also a very diligent man. He was the first person to work in the field every day. It is because of his diligence that he was the first person to discover my father.
I had imagined the scene of the second fool that morning. He walked out of the village entrance with a hoe on his back and saw something hanging on the willow tree. He approached and took it down and saw that he must have received a great shock on the spot.
This scene, if you think about it, it makes you feel numb.
It is normal for a real experiencer to be frightened by fools.
I have never seen this before, but for so many years, people here have talked about this. I also knew from outsiders that the situation was very cruel at that time.
It’s just that the human skin is complete, but the body is gone!
Later, the village party secretary of our village walked more than ten miles to the police station in the county and called the police. The three policemen who came to the police were so scared that they shivered when they saw this scene. One of the female policemen even vomited on the spot.
Life is at stake, so this man's murder case has been a major case since ancient times. Later, many police officers came to put martial law around the neighborhood. The reserve members who had served as soldiers in several villages were summoned to find the bodies and found no traces of the crime scene. Moreover, no blood was found within a few miles, and no body left behind after being peeled.
The police would naturally interrogate my family, but there was no clue. My mother said that my father did not go to bed at night and she didn't know when he left the door at night.
The policemen then targeted the butchers in several miles and arrested the butchers in several nearby villages and even those who slaughtered livestock on weekdays.
But their suspicions were eliminated one by one, without any motives for the crime, and without time. Basically, everyone had a proof of being absent. Finally, the most experienced butcher here said to the police: "Look at this method of skinning, you said that I can kill pigs on weekdays, that's sure, but this is only so clean and neatly under the premise of killing pigs that I have been killing for half my life. How much do you think he has to peel it to make it? This is much more complicated than a pig."
The police took a lot of effort in this case and were busy with us for more than a month, but the case did not make any progress.
After that, it naturally became a unsolved case.
When I was in college, I liked to visit Tianya Forum because this made me feel confused online. Because there was no picture, many people didn’t believe the authenticity of my words, but there were also many netizens who believed that I interacted with me, including many speculations such as revenge and murder. Until one day, a netizen was a person with a phone number and left me a message: Like the boy in red in Chongqing, it is a mysterious method of sacrifice.
This is a version of the answer I have never heard of, but the moment I saw it, I was attracted by this answer. I immediately replied to the netizen and sent a private message, but he never appeared again. I looked through his account and replied to me on the registration time. This day was also his last login time.
But I dialed in according to the phone number on his name, but it was an empty number.
After my father's death, for the peasant family who lived from the ground, my father's death was equivalent to the collapse of the pillars of the family. This led to my family's poor self-abundance and became even more poor. In desperation, my grandfather and my mother adopted my elder brother out. That year, my elder brother was only three years old. The adopted family was said to be a relatively wealthy family, but the couple could not have children. My elder brother adopted me and exchanged my family for three bowls of vermicelli and two packs of osmanthus cakes.
After that, my mother took up the banner of this family and took care of me, who was born and my grandfather who had been in poor health.
After graduating from university, I responded to the call of the country and returned to our village to become a village official.
This is a job that seems promising and actually has a very slim future. On that day, I was mediating a dispute between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a villager's family. Suddenly, my neighbor Wang Dasan called me. She ran away and looked panicked. I asked, "Sister Wang, what's wrong with you? What's so anxious?"
"Yezi, go back quickly, your elder brother is back!" said Mrs. Wang.
"My elder brother?" I was stunned.
"It's the elder brother you sent out when you were born!" said Mrs. Wang.
When the family saw that I had a serious business, they asked me to go back and do the important business first. After all, it was a villager's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, and it was not possible to mediate it in a short time. After I got home, there were already many people around my house.
My mother stood in the yard with tears in her eyes.
My grandfather was smoking a cigarette.
In front of the two of them, a tall man with a buzz cut was standing.
The three of them seemed to be silent in embarrassment. I walked over and actually could tell at a glance that this person was my elder brother, because there were many similarities between our eyebrows, but my appearance was more similar to my mother, while my elder brother looked a little bit like my father. Although I only saw my father's appearance from the black and white photos at home, the black and white photos were magnified from my father's ID card.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Yezi, come here." My grandfather called me aside.
I looked at the man, and he also looked at me. His facial features were very three-dimensional and looked very masculine. When I saw me and looked at him, he smiled at me. Naturally, I also smiled awkwardly.
"I sent you out back then, but my family was really poor. We took other people's things and they raised you. People have to follow the rules when they live. Have you come back to the junction?" My grandfather asked while smoking a dry tobacco.
"There is no one at home." The man said.
"What?" Grandpa said in surprise.
"My dad killed me in the mine when I was six years old, and my mom remarried afterwards. I grew up with my grandfather. Last year, my grandfather died of cancer. Before he died, he told me about my life experience and asked me to come back." The man said.
After hearing this, my mother burst into tears, and I felt very uncomfortable. Although he spoke a few words, I could feel that I, the elder brother who was adopted, had not lived well since I was a child.
After hearing this, my grandfather smoked for a while, and the neighbors were shouting: "Old Yetou, the child has suffered so much. Now that he is back, you can accept it."
My grandfather kept thinking, after a long time, he sighed and said, "Come back, but I can't be sorry to my old friend. If you go there, you will just continue the incense for their Chen family. This surname cannot be changed, your surname is still Chen."
The man nodded and said, "Okay."
Later I learned that my elder brother has a very domineering name, Zhongmou and Sun Zhongmou.
Because my family is small, my elder brother lives in the same house with me. After a day of time, I have a general understanding of my elder brother. He talks very little, is very calm, and speaks very concisely. The most important thing is that he is very clean and seems to be a very regular person. He does not sleep in the same bed as me, but is a floor shop on the ground. Every thing he has is neatly arranged, just like his people.
My mother has been cooking a table of dishes these two days. I can feel my mother's happiness when my elder brother comes back, but for my mother's concern, the expression on my elder brother's face has always been as calm as when he came. This made my mother very embarrassed, and I comforted her and said that it was because of a sudden contact, and it would be better slowly.
My elder brother stayed at my house for three days. After that, he packed up his things. I thought he was leaving. My mother was also shocked and hurried out of the kitchen. He said to us, "I'll go out and live."
"Where are you going, there are no hotels here," I asked.
"Go to Sanlitun next door, I bought a house there," he said.
Sanlitun is the village next to us, and there are no buildings. He said that he bought a house in other people's rural house. I said, "It's great to live together. Since you are back, you can find a way to buy a homestead in the village and build it yourself."
"I live there and do things," he said.
He spoke concisely, but very firm. I talked to my mother for a long time and he was not moved. At this time, my grandfather walked out with a dry cigarette in his mouth and said, "If you want to go, let him go, it's not far anyway."
I helped him take a gift to Sanlitun in the next village. After I got there, I found out that he actually bought a two-story building, which is a better house in Sanlitun. I couldn't help but be surprised. If you add a yard to your own house, it would cost about 200,000 yuan. It would probably cost a lot of money to buy it so quickly, but I didn't ask much. After all, I am not familiar with this elder brother, so I can't say that you are so rich, right?
The house was cleaned up by the original family, and my elder brother had very little luggage. After I packed up the bed, I had to open the black box he had been carrying. I thought it was his clothes inside and wanted to hang it up for him.
As soon as my hand touched the box, he suddenly shouted: "Don't move!"
I was startled and stopped by the box. He looked at me, walked over with cold eyes, took the box from my hand, and said, "There are some private things in it."
My cold words made me embarrassed, but at least this time I gave an explanation. Who hasn't ordered personal supplies yet? I smiled and said, "Okay, then you can do it yourself."
After I got this done, it was very embarrassing for me to get along with him alone. I said I was leaving, and he just nodded, without even saying a polite word to sit for a while.
As soon as I arrived at the village committee, the village chief Chen Qingshan told me mysteriously: "You big brother is rich. If you buy Chen Daneng's house, that guy asked for 300,000 yuan, and he gave it without blinking!"
I smiled and said nothing. Although the price is too high, it is not high, but it doesn't mean that people will not sell it. I don't care much about whether my elder brother is rich or not. I will never flatter him and dislike him just because he is rich. But I feel a little moved.
A rich elder brother came to recognize our family who sent him out back then. The problem is that our lives are still very poor, which is already very rare.
The day after the eldest brother moved over, he raised a flag at the door of his house.
Apricot yellow flag supported by a bamboo pole.
There are three large red characters written on it: The corpse-hunter.
This practice is very ancient, and it also has the style of ancient heroes carrying flags and doing things.
He said he was going to do good things, but it turned out that what he was going to do was to catch the body.
