: Round 188 Camphor tree (7)

Dig, what to dig?
By hand?
Still in the middle of the night.
What a joke!
"Can't you wait until dawn?"
"I have such a question stuck in my head. I can't sleep without understanding it."
"You are pregnant, dear!"
Jing Sa shattered his thoughts at the back, but the scare was unheard of.
Step by step, the three came under the camphor tree in Du's backyard.
It was dark at night, and in this unoccupied house, there was also a corpse-like existence, and all kinds of strange thoughts rushed to Jing Sa.
It's already very scary during the day, let alone this big night.
"If you are afraid, stand aside and help me hold a flashlight!"
Seeing Yanzhu insisting on it, Jing Sa pointed his finger at Cao Zhen immediately, "Brother, don't stand silly, speak, help me persuade him."
"That also requires me to persuade me. She is a consultant of our bureau. She is older than me in terms of position."
Jing Saidun had a feeling that the brethren brought his brothers bad.
Cao Zhen didn't think there was anything wrong. He highly admired the inferiority, because she had never made a mistake, and now the case entered a bottleneck. What she needed most was a flash of her aura.
"Where are you going to dig?" The tree grows thick and has many roots. If you want to dig, it's really hard to start.
"There." Mr. Xu pointed to somewhere. "It looks like the soil is softer there."
"Row!"
Jing Sa shouted reluctantly: "What is it? How to dig without tools?"
Cao Zhen said with a smile, "When I came in the morning, I found a gardener's room in the backyard, which should have a shovel." The Du family planted a lot of plants, and there must be tools for shoveling soil.
The two of you, I said, obviously the United Front has been united, and Jing Sa was ignored directly.
Jing Sa didn't dare to go back alone, holding a flashlight and shining on the tree roots. It doesn't look like a good place to bury his body.
"Come on, there are corpses in the secret room. What's the benefit of burying them here?"
The Du Family ’s secret room is so secret, it ’s already the best place to hide corpses. If it ’s a good place, do n’t hide it. You have to bury it under a tree. Is n’t it a way to find a dead end? , Isn't it exposed?
"I am not looking for a corpse for organ donation."
Jing Sa stared at the bead, "You're starting to say something I can't understand."
"Please be restless! When I dig it, I will elaborate with you again, maybe I guessed wrong."
Cao Zhen found two shovel in the gardener's room, took one of them, but gave the other one to Jing Sa.
"Why do you want me?" It wasn't she who wanted to dig.
"Duanmu is pregnant. Are you sorry to let her do the physical work?"
Jing Sa was speechless and glanced at Cao Zhen. "Normally I shout at me, but I don't have to pity me. I'm down to the gentleman, and I'm so good!"
"Must, you are my subordinate, she is my sir, can it be the same?"
"Cut!" Jing Sa reluctantly picked up the shovel. "First of all, let's dig for half an hour. If we can't dig, we will go back. This big night is really scary."
Not that she was timid, but the atmosphere was terrifying.
Cao Zhen reached out and shoved her, "Your girl is really alive and going back. If you have time to talk nonsense, don't hurry!"
Jing Sa inserted the shovel into the soil and urged his cheek to say, "Yes, yes, yes, this is digging, unscrupulous leader."
Under the command of the gods, the two dug up the soil under the camphor tree.
Such a big tree must be intertwined underneath. If you shovel it down, half of it will be soil and half of it will be very laborious to dig.
While the two were digging, Lim walked around the trunk. The light of the flashlight hit the Fu characters on the trunk. The handwriting was deeply engraved. Even after decades of wind and sun, it was still clear and legible.
As the excavated soil gradually piled up, the roots of the tree slowly revealed, and Jingsa ’s mouth was reluctant, but it was still very hard to work. After a while, he digs sweating and shoveled down, hitting What happened, the hand immediately numb.
"What's so hard?" She let go of the shovel and blew the redness of her palm.
Cao Zhen quickly rushed over, "Did you dig it?"
She shook her head, "I don't know, it's too dark to see clearly!"
皛 皛 pointed the flashlight at the place where she excavated. The thick roots of the tree were long and winding, and they were already deep. They sucked the soil like a living snake. The halo moved slowly at the roots. Those roots were black and autumn. Some insects living in the soil, because they were stimulated by the light, wriggled their fat bodies and scuttled into the soil.
The roots are thin and thick, most of them are outside, and the thin ones are inside. When Jing Sa digs, a few thin roots are shoveled. They are scattered on the soil, and the fallen roots are entangled. What, wrapped that thing tightly circle after circle.
He looked up at the flashlight, and his bones were exposed in the light.
"Sure enough!"
Jing Sa had a black line on his face, "Oh, my mother-in-law!" Really dug something that should not be dug.
That is a human skull.
It was tightly entangled by the roots, as if entangled in Medusa's hair, lying there weakly and silently.
"Who is so unlucky, dead and buried here as a tree nutrient, it's almost inhumane."
"Compared to the specimens in the secret room, I think it's good to be buried in this place, at least into the soil."
The fallen leaves return to their roots, and they are not settled down.
"Cao Zhen, see if you can take the bone out."
Cao Zhen pulled the roots of the skull around with his bare hands. "It's tightly wrapped and can't be taken out without special tools. If it's hard, I'm afraid of destroying the evidence."
This is obviously a human remains, buried under a tree means that this is a murder.
Since it is a murder case, it is best to leave it as it is, and it is better to wait for the forensic doctor to get started.
The 皛 皛 came closer. With the flashlight, she took photos of the deep roots of the tree. The roots were tight. There were vaguely other bones in it, but they were buried deeply, not sure if they were complete. At the time, the torso and skull were separated.
"Duanmu, do you think this is a man or a woman?"
Although there is only one skull, that is, the skull, there is no damage and it is very complete. It is not difficult to identify whether it is male or female.
Skull is a very important existence in gender identification, because the personal characteristics and gender characteristics of human face are more obvious, and these characteristics are mainly determined by the characteristics of the skull.
Before the sexual maturity period, the gender difference of the skull is small, and by the time of puberty, the gender difference begins to increase gradually. After adulthood, the gender difference will be very significant.
He is not a forensic doctor, but the basic knowledge of forensic medicine is still very clear.
"Looking at the shape, the skull is large, the volume should be about 1450ML, the face is narrow and long, the forehead is inclined, the eyebrow arch is prominent, the orbit is lower, slightly square, the upper edge of the orbit is blunt, the mandibular angle is approximately right angle, and the mandibular alveolar protruding should be It ’s a man. "
Cao Zhen and Jing Sa, as criminal police officers, often deal with forensic doctors. They are also very familiar with the method of identification of forensic doctors. They nodded at the judgments of 皛 皛.
Jing Sa squatted and added: "The eyes are protruding, the face is narrow and long but the chin is slightly shorter, it should be of Asian ethnicity."
"Yes, and according to the seams of the skull, it has not been completely healed, which proves that the deceased is very young and should be 17-25 years old, but this is only a preliminary judgment. If you can see the molars, you should be able to judge it more correctly."
Every tooth of a person has its development rule, and this process has a relatively stable time range, which can be used as a basis for judging age. In addition, teeth will wear out in the course of life, and this wear can also be used to infer The age of the tooth owner.
However, judging gender and age by visual observation is indeed simple and quick for experienced people. However, due to its large subjectivity, it is inevitable that it will be misjudged, so it still has to wait for professional forensics to identify it.
Because the forensic doctor will make characteristic judgments from many different places, such as sternum, sacrum, pelvis, etc.
If the skull can be taken out, it can be further inferred from the teeth, the posterior transverse seam, and the middle palate.
Although it has not been formally confirmed by the forensic doctors, Limiao already has his own identification.
"If I guessed right, this man should be Yang Xiao."
Cao Zhen looked at her in surprise, "You said it was Yang Xiao? But wasn't he missing?" The information found by Li Shangong was the same.
"Missing and dying are just literal meanings. Actually, only finding talents knows. Obviously we are not finding a living person, but a person who has been dead for a long time."
According to the age of this bone, if he is really Yang Xiao, he has been dead for almost 40 years.
"Why did Yang Xiao die at Du's family? Didn't he have a holiday with Du Fu? Du Fu also kicked him." Only with this kind of grudge, Yang Xiao could not appear in Du's family.
"Is he angrily angry, over the wall and stealing Du family revenge, and then found that he was killed by mistake?"
He shook his head, "This is by no means possible!"
"why?"
"Because of this tree!"
Jing Sa scratched his hair and tangled: "Zhao Xuan, can you make it clear, OK? What does it have to do with trees?"
"So to say, suppose Yang Xiao and Du Fu are lovers who love each other?"
"what?"
This assumption is too unexpected.
"Don't be so surprised, listen to me continue to speak."
"Oh!" Jing Sa raised her ear obediently, no longer interjecting.
"A Jing, remember that Huang Zhaodi said that Du Fu asked her when to borrow money?"
"Remember, it was two months before Du Fu's parents died, that is, after the Spring Festival ..."
Nodded, He looked at Cao Zhen, "When did Yang Xiao disappear?"
"It was after the Spring Festival ..." Cao Zhen suddenly sighed in his mind.
The time when Yang Xiao disappeared and the time when Du Fu borrowed money happened to be the same period of time, and Yang Xiao also stolen the money from the students in the same bedroom before disappearing.
"Wait, that's not right, don't you say that Du Fu and the teacher of painting have an affair, how could it become Yang Xiao again."
"According to Huang Zhaodi's remarks, I did think so, but this was not the case. Du Fu and Yang Xiao should be a pair, but they have concealed everyone. I think Du Fu kicked him and should have other secrets. If the two had no such relationship, Yang Xiao ’s remains could not appear under this tree engraved with Du Fu ’s name. In a sense, this tree represents Du Fu, or her dowry, meaning Extraordinary, if not the person in your heart, how could you let him be buried here. "
This article alone is enough to prove that Yang Xiao and Du Fu's friendship is not a hatred.
"What's the matter with the teacher?"
"Block-eye method, I guess that when Du Fu went to learn painting, he actually secretly saw Yang Xiao, but in school, the two never had any contact."
Huang Zhaodi did not know what Du Fu did after going to the painting classroom, so she was not surprised and it was not surprising, which also led to the misunderstanding at the beginning.
It can only be said that the two men hid too deeply.
"Duanmu, if it's like you said, wouldn't it be contradictory that Du Fu kicked Yang Xiao?"
"No, there is no contradiction. I assume that the two are in love. Then what do you think would make Du Fu ruthlessly kick the beloved person, then there is only one possibility, Du Fu is protecting him, in order to keep him away from himself . "
"You mean that Yang Xiao may know that the Du family sells organs?"
"Nice !"
Cao Zhen was silent, because after that, Yang Xiao did transfer to school and left Huangjiatang, and he had various explanations for his stubbornness and truancy in school. He was trying to go back to Dufu by every possible means.
In the end, the two may meet successfully and then meet together to elope.
In this way, borrowing and stealing money are also well explained.
But is this really the case?
Would it be too mysterious?
Xuan Xuan knows that suddenly they say that they will find it incredible, but this is already the most logical possibility she thinks.
"It's still that sentence, this is just my personal judgment. The final conclusion still has to wait for the forensic doctor to identify the identity of the remains and the clues in the painting classroom before they can be finalized."
Jing Sa was not as calm as her, and asked, "If this is Yang Xiao, as you said, he and Du Fu are a pair, who is the one who killed him? It would never be Du Fu himself."
"Of course it can't be Duff."
"Who else?"
After asking, Jing Sa muttered.
Yang Xiao died at Du's house. If it was not Du Fu who killed him, who else?
Who else can there be?
Only Duff's father or mother.
