Yan Xiuzhi was a mentally retarded child who disappeared the day before Yan Ju died.
The police were called at the time, but after searching for seven or eight days, they still couldn't find her, so they gave up.
No one could have imagined that she would appear in Yan Ju's coffin ten years later.
If it was her, who killed her?
Did Yan Nuo have time to commit the crime?
In order to find the answer, Xie Qing and forensic doctor Zhang performed an autopsy, and Tan Yi, Ren Yaguang and others interviewed Yan Xiuzhi's family and villagers.
A girl who was less than 20 years old was reduced to a skeleton when she faced her relatives again.
Both Xie Qing and forensic doctor Zhang were very sad.
The two first checked the pubic joint surface to confirm that it matched the age when Yan Xiuzhi disappeared.
There was a slight fracture of the skull, which was not considered fatal.
Xie Qing searched the neck carefully and found the broken upper horn of the thyroid cartilage and the fracture of the greater horn of the hyoid bone.
She handed the broken bones to forensic doctor Zhang, "Unfortunately, it is estimated that it was rape and murder." Forensic
doctor Zhang sighed, "What a beast, his father was seriously ill, and he was still thinking about... cough cough."
He pretended to cough twice and the topic came to an abrupt end.
The male forensic doctor at this time was also conservative.
Xie Qing pretended not to hear it, and took the initiative to collect the bones together and wrapped them neatly with a white cover cloth.
Yan Xiuzhi's parents also came, and the two old people were in tears.
Yan Xiuzhi's mother held Xie Qing's hand and cried, "My daughter disappeared the night before Yan Ju died. The child went to the toilet and we couldn't find her. My house and Yan Ju's house were separated by a wall. Yan Ju was seriously ill and was about to die. Who could have thought that that heartless person would attack a fool?" "
How scared my silly daughter must have been before she died? Why didn't I think of going next door to check? I was so stupid, so stupid!"
Yan's mother let go of Xie Qing's hand and slapped herself twice.
Xie Qing quickly grabbed her hand and advised: "You don't have to blame yourself too much. He had already killed your daughter when he abducted her. She couldn't wait for you to find her."
"My silly daughter, I'm so sorry for you, ah ah ah..." The old lady was very sad, crying and singing in a serious manner.
The village chief saw that Xie Qing was embarrassed, and quickly called the villagers to help the old man and the old woman back.
He said, "What kind of thing is this? Xiuzhi and Yannuo are not even five generations apart yet. Who could have thought of this, this beast!"
Tan Yi said, "Village chief, we cannot convict Yannuo of a crime yet. We need to interrogate him first."
The village chief was unusually tough, "Why can't we convict him? He did it. Yanju died when the weather was the hottest. Because he was afraid of the stench, he put his body in the coffin early. When Xiuzhi disappeared, the whole village was in a state of panic. He was the only one who stayed at home to watch over the casket. Who else could it be but him?"
Tan Yi said, "Did his family have transportation at the time? How do you get to Huya Mountain from your place?"
"Tiger Tooth Mountain?" The village chief thought for a moment and gestured to the southeast. "It's over there. It's not close, but the Yan family has a bicycle. It only takes more than an hour to go there by the small path."
Xie Qing asked: "So, after Yan Xiuzhi disappeared, Yan Ju was buried very quickly, right?"
The village chief said: "The living are the most important. The funeral was completed the next day."
Tan Yi and Xie Qing exchanged glances - this is very clear. Yan Nuo replaced Yan Ju's body and hid it, and then transported him out while everyone was looking for someone, and buried him in Tiger Tooth Mountain.
At the age of 20, he handled such a big thing alone, and he didn't leak a single detail. It must be said that his heart is too strong.
Tan Yi discussed with Captain Chu and asked the village chief to organize the villagers to withdraw. The police officers held a small meeting.
Tan Yi said, "Yan Nuo's annual visit to worship is definitely not just to cover up his crime. He must have another purpose."
Captain Chu asked, "What do you think his purpose is?"
Tan Yi shook his head, "I'm just suspicious, not sure. Let's look for it. We can talk about it if we can't find it."
Normally, the purpose of the search should be the same as Yan Nuo's family.
But the tomb has been dug up, where else can we look?
The police officers didn't know where to start, but the leader had spoken, so they had to act.
Xie Qing stood by Yan Ju's grave, looked at the hill, thought for a while, and walked up along a trampled path.
This is Shanyang, and grass has grown in many places. Light purple mouse flowers are blooming sporadically. Although it is not very beautiful, it has the breath of spring.
Xie Qing walked around and looked around, but she didn't see anything suspicious until she reached the top of the mountain.
She walked down a few steps, climbed up a large flat rock, looked into the distance, and quickly found the silhouette of Huya Mountain.
Yan Nuo was hanging his father here?
Not very likely.
Just as Xie Qing was thinking, Tan Yi also came up.
He asked, "Did you find anything?"
Xie Qing shook her head, "Not for now, but..." An idea flashed in her mind, and she stepped on her feet.
Tan Yi had already squatted down, "If Huya Mountain can be seen from here, it is undoubtedly very suitable for him to hide things here." As he said, he grabbed a stone hidden in the soil.
Xie Qing came down, "Can you lift it up?"
Tan Yi pursed his lips and pushed hard, "Let's try..." Before he finished the second word, the stone came out of the soil. He didn't have time to react and sat down on the ground. For
a man of that size, this butt was enough to make him fall.
"Puff..." Xie Qing burst into laughter, but she was still laughing and moving fast. She reached out and grabbed his shoulders to prevent herself from losing balance and rolling down the mountain.
Tan Yi also laughed and said self-deprecatingly, "Yan Nuo should not have come back for a long time, or he has not lifted this stone for a long time. The lost water and soil are stuck to the surface of the stone again, and it looks like it is embedded in the mountain."
As he spoke, he climbed up, grabbed two handfuls in the stone pit, and pulled out a plastic bag.
The sun was shining brightly at this time. Although the plastic bag was covered with dust, one could still see a small plastic medicine bottle, a small mirror, a lock of hair, a few buttons, and a tangle of metal chains.
"Found it!" Li Ke, who came up to meet Xie Qing, shouted in surprise, "He can't escape this time."
Li Ji ran up behind her and counted on Tan Yi's hand, "Nine things. The bottle contains hydrogen (cyanide), right? Is there any for Yan Xiuzhi?"
Xie Qing said, "Yan Xiuzhi's body is right down there, and he probably didn't think of leaving any trophies behind at that time."
"There are fingerprints on the mirror. Let's go, we can go back." Tan Yi patted the dirt off his body and strode down the mountain. Li Ke said, "The last time we climbed the mountain
