Chapter 134 Murder in Sleep: Murder House

"There is a body inside, dig carefully." Mu Mian pointed to the nails exposed in the cement block, and then began to direct them to dig the body, "Officer Xiao Zhang, don't dig here, dig there, don't worry about the cement on the surface of the body, we will move the body wrapped in cement back, and I will slowly clean the cement on the surface after we go back."

Xiao Zhang and his team dug out an irregularly shaped cement block according to Mu Mian's request.

Mu Mian carefully used a shovel to shovel the cement on the dead man's arm. She found that the skin of the body was dark brown, dry, and leathery, and there was white substance on the cement.

"It's impossible to determine the time of death of the deceased now," Mu Mian said, "but based on my experience, this body should have been buried here for no less than ten years, and it is likely to have been buried for longer."

"No less than ten years? Then the deceased could not have been killed by Miss Zhang? Miss Zhang should still be a child more than ten years ago," Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "Then why did she come to surrender and say that she killed someone?"

Everyone was puzzled.

"Could it be that Miss Zhang knew the inside story and deliberately came to the police station to surrender in order to attract our attention and let us find the body?" Chen Xue guessed.

Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang thought it made sense.

Mu Mian was puzzled and asked, "We've already come to the police station, why didn't Miss Zhang tell us there was a body here first?"

"Maybe the murderer threatened her and didn't allow her to tell it."

"But she came to the police station to report the case, isn't she afraid of angering the murderer? She might as well write us an anonymous letter first and tell us the truth secretly, so that the murderer doesn't know who reported him." Mu Mian still didn't understand her motives. Why make things so complicated?

After being asked by Mu Mian, everyone didn't understand why Miss Zhang turned herself in.

"Could this be a coincidence? After Ms. Zhang moved in, she became mentally ill because the structure of this house was very depressing, so she came to report herself to the police." Fang Rui analyzed, "It's a coincidence that a murder happened in this house more than ten years ago."

"But is it really such a coincidence?"

"Once I dig out the body, I'm sure we'll find more clues." Mu Mian said, "The person who buried the body was very professional in handling it. We must catch him. I want to have a good chat with him!"

Chen Xue agreed, "Yes. No wonder there are no signs of collapse or cracking on this table. It turns out there is a wooden box inside for support. It is estimated that the cement in the box was not filled up, leaving space, so that the gas expansion will not affect the surface of the table. Otherwise, the decay of the body will produce gas, which will definitely cause the cement table to deform."

"In movies and TV shows, corpses are buried with cement first. It turns out that this way of dealing with corpses is not feasible!" Xiao Zhang sighed, "Those movies and TV shows are too unprofessional."

Chen Xue said, "Of course. Not only do we need to consider the problem of corpse odor, but we also have to consider that the gases produced by the decaying corpse will cause the cement to crack and deform. So burying corpses with cement is not a smart way to deal with corpses. Cement will also accelerate the decay of the corpse."

"I know a lot of smart ways to deal with corpses!" Mu Mian said excitedly, "Do I need to share them with you? In theory, the corpse should be handled perfectly, but I haven't practiced it, and I don't know if there will be any problems when executing it."

"... Forget it, stop, stop, I'm afraid I can't eat." Xiao Zhang interrupted Mu Mian.

"Okay." Mu Mian regretfully suppressed his desire to learn about science and continued to take pictures of the cement blocks to record the scene.

Chen Xue continued, "The man who buried the body was very smart. He considered both issues. He first put activated carbon to absorb the odor, and then used latex to strengthen the sealing of the table to prevent the odor from escaping. Most people would just pour cement on top of a body without thinking too much." "

It seems that the murderer has a high IQ. If it weren't for Miss Zhang making such a fuss, we probably would never know that there was a body buried here."

They put the body wrapped in cement in a body bag.

This community is considered a retirement community. It is basically inhabited by elderly people and children, so an elevator was installed.

But the elevator was very small and broken, and it was dirty inside. It shook violently every time it reached a floor. In addition, there was a corpse at their feet. Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang felt uneasy.

Mu Mian thought of the various accidents she had seen caused by elevator failures. The victims died tragically. She was a little scared and held Fang Rui's hand tightly.

"Forensic Doctor Mu, it's okay. Although this elevator is broken, it must be very safe. There will be no accidents, don't worry!" Xiao Wang said.

"Why are you so sure? You don't know anything about elevators." Mu Mian hugged Fang Rui's arm. She still felt that this elevator was very unsafe.

Xiao Zhang chimed in, "We understand the developer. There are old people and children living here. If something happens to the elevator, they can cause the developer to go bankrupt!"

"..."

Fang Rui comforted Mu Mian, "Don't be afraid, we will protect you."

"Yeah. Even if something happens, we are all together, so you won't be alone." Thinking of this, Mu Mian was no longer nervous.

"..."

When Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang carried the body out of the corridor, a large group of uncles and aunts surrounded them and pointed.

"There won't be another thief in our community, right? Why did the police come to our door?"

"Looking at this, it doesn't look like they are catching a thief!"

"Isn't there a girl living in the west building? Isn't this her body? That's not right. Didn't I see her yesterday? Why is she gone today?" the aunt muttered.

"Tsk tsk, these two young people are too weak to even lift a girl's body!"

"I told you long ago that the west building is unlucky, but the little girl didn't listen to the advice of an old woman like me and insisted on moving in. Look, didn't something go wrong?" The aunt sighed. "

Yes, yes, that house has been uninhabited for a long time."

Fang Rui asked one of the aunts who seemed to be well-informed: "Auntie, who lived in that house originally?"

The aunt glanced at Fang Rui and said nothing.

Xiao Zhang stepped forward and asked enthusiastically: "Sister, who lived in that house before?"

"Just call me Sister Wang," the mother told Xiao Zhang everything like pouring beans, "Two years ago, a family of three lived in that house. Later, they said that the landlord was a pervert and secretly installed a camera in their house. They were scared to death and moved out of the house overnight without even asking for the rent and deposit. Later, the house was not rented out. I suspect it is haunted."

"Do you know Zhang Mingli in the west building?"

"Yes, she bought the house more than a month ago. I wanted to remind her that the house was haunted, but as soon as I spoke to her, she walked away and ignored me, so I didn't have a chance to tell her." The mother complained.

Seeing that Zhang Mingli didn't have a boyfriend, she originally wanted to get close to Zhang Mingli first, and then ask her if she wanted to go on a blind date. She had a lot of high-quality men and guaranteed to introduce her to a good match. But Zhang Mingli ignored her.

"How do you know that the house is haunted?" Fang Rui asked.
