Chapter 7 Bones (2)
Chapter 7 White Bone (2) ()
The two white bones were found, about 300 meters away from the white bones kneeling beside the bamboo. The white bones were placed on an open space in the bamboo forest. The two white bones were about 5 meters apart, one white bones faced upwards, and the other was lying on the ground, with two arms stretching forward.
"It's a very strange posture again." Director Zhao murmured at the white bones on the ground: "One deceased seemed to be crawling forward while he was suddenly dying suddenly, while the other seemed to be lying on the ground and dying peacefully. It's really incredible."
Gao Fei smiled bitterly and said, "If the three bones in front and behind died at the same time, the scene at that time would be even more strange. One person died suddenly while kneeling beside the bamboo. 300 meters later, another person died on the ground, and the last person died suddenly while crawling forward desperately."
Director Zhao's heart tightened and a chill felt on his back.
Gao Fei picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "Director Sun, Director Sun, please reply when you hear it."
Director Sun's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Director Gao, please speak."
"Please take Liu Zhen to me immediately. My direction is..."
Ten minutes later, Director Sun and Liu Zhen rushed over and saw the bones on the ground gasping for air conditioning. At this time, two policemen were already squatting on the ground and were carefully performing preliminary identification of the two bones.
"Liu Zhen, I want to know something from you," Gao Fei asked with a frown, "Has anyone missing near your town recently?"
Mayor Liu thought about it, but shook his head: "No."
"Then have any passengers in your town recently entered the mountainous area and have never come back."
Mayor Liu nodded: "Yes. I have reported this situation to Director Sun today. Originally, our place is very remote, and few tourists usually come to the town. On August 24, three passengers came to the town to stay one after another, but they did not come out after entering the mountain the next day."
Gao Fei pondered for a moment and asked again: "According to what you know, will there be any large beasts in the mountains, such as wolves, tigers, etc."
Mayor Liu shook his head: "The bamboo forest here has been alive for less than 10 years. I have never heard of any large beasts in the mountains. Oh, but sometimes the residents nearby have killed one or two wild boars."
"Wild boar?" Gao Fei looked at the bones on the ground, shook his head, and asked again: "Does the people in the town often enter the mountains?"
Mayor Liu hesitated for a moment and said, "In recent months, people in the town seem to be reluctant to enter the mountains."
"Why?" Gao Fei became interested.
Mayor Liu hesitated a little.
Gao Fei waved his hand: "Liu Zhen, just say anything in the town, which is also a reference for our work."
Liu Zhen looked around and leaned over to Gao Fei and lowered his voice: "Some people in the town say that the mountainous areas have become very evil recently, and there will be bloody disasters when entering the mountain."
Gao Fei smiled bitterly. Mayor Liu hurriedly said, "These nonsense is just a propaganda by some ignorant village men. I don't believe it. Don't care, Director Gao."
"The rumors in the town are not without reason," Director Zhao suddenly sighed and said, "I think the mountainous areas here are indeed evil. These few bones in strange positions are the best proof - if the owner of the corpse died normally, would such a posture appear?"
A gust of wind blew, and Mayor Liu fought a cold war.
At this time, the police officer who made the preliminary identification of the bones had completed the work. A policeman in his 30s reported to Gao Fei: "Director Gao, after our preliminary identification, these two bones are 1 man and 1 woman. The bones lying on the ground belong to men, about 175, and the bones lying on the ground belong to women, about 160. Judging from the wear of their teeth, women are estimated to be in their 20s, while men are over 40 years old. This is what we have at present."
Gao Fei's heart moved and looked up at Director Zhao. Director Zhao murmured, "Age and height are in line with Guo Yaoguo and Xie Xiaoqing's situation, but only these two points..." Director Zhao frowned, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said loudly: "Teth! Go and see a woman's teeth! Gu Xiaodan has two front teeth made porcelain teeth!"
The police officer who was identified quickly squatted down to check the bone lying on the ground. Two minutes later, he stood up and nodded at Director Zhao: "This woman's front teeth do have 2 porcelain teeth."
Gao Fei and Director Zhao looked at each other quickly, and their expressions were a little horrified - these two bones were actually Guo Yaoguo Gu Xiaodan! Guo Yaoguo Gu Xiaodan, who had become bones after five days of disappearance!
"Director Gao, do we still need to continue searching?" Director Sun asked.
Gao Fei looked at Director Zhao inquiringly, and Director Zhao slowly shook his head.
"No need, let's stop the team!" Gao Fei waved his hand. For some reason, after making this decision, Gao Fei felt relieved.
Cherokee was speeding on the Zhongkong Expressway.
Gao Fei sat in the passenger seat and pursed his lips tightly, his face very cold. Director Zhao, who was sitting in the back seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting.
"When will the bones be transported to the capital, when will the fastest identification result come out?" Gao Fei suddenly broke his silence.
"It will take 3 days at the earliest," Director Zhao pondered for a moment and asked, "Director Gao, if the identification results prove that the three white bones are really Guo Yaoguo, Xie Xiaoqing and Deng Jun, how do you think it should be explained that the three living people turned into three white bones within 5 days?"
"I don't know." Gao Fei smiled bitterly: "It's the first time I have encountered such a thing after more than 10 years of criminal investigation. It's a very strange case."
"If it is in the desert, humans will be bitten into bones in a few minutes," Director Zhao frowned and sighed: "It's a pity that they are in the mountains. It's hard to imagine that there will be human-eating ants in the mountains."
"If we assume that the three of them entered the Daba Mountains on the 25th and died suddenly for some reason, the mountainous areas happened to be very stuffy during the 25th, 26th, and 27th, and the corpses began to rot. The wild boars might eat carrion and crows. These are wild animals in the Daba Mountains. However, in that case, the corpses would definitely be turned into a mess... However, the corpses we saw were very neat, and one was even leaning against a bamboo, and one was still crawling forward before his death. If the meat on his body was eaten by a wild beast, he would not be able to maintain these strange postures anyway." Gao Fei was also very distressed. No case would have ever been more strange than these three white bones. Any idea would eventually go into a dead end that could not be self-consistent.
"Will our thinking go into a misunderstanding?" Director Zhao suddenly felt excited: "In the past cases, I often encountered the situation where reasoning went to a dead end. This situation is usually because there is a blind spot in my own thoughts. If I find this blind spot, all problems will be solved!"
Gao Fei nodded, he had thought of this question as well. However, Gao Fei searched for the dry intestines but could not find the "blind spot".
"What are the blind spots in our thinking?" Director Zhao thought hard: "For example...will those three bones be the other three?"
"If those three white bones were someone else," Gao Fei smiled reluctantly: "Then we can only reason like this - after Guo Yaoguo and Xie Xiaoqing entered the mountainous area, he found two white bones that were the same as his age, height and even porcelain teeth, and then persuaded the police behind him to escape together. Deng Gang also found his white bone substitute, so the three people fled and disappeared."
Director Zhao smiled bitterly. Such reasoning seems too absurd, whether it is motivation, behavior or coincidence.
"That's how I think," Gao Fei said slowly: "When our various reasonings cannot go on, I agree with you very much--there must be a blind spot in our reasoning! A blind spot that is not easy to detect."
"Then how can we find this blind spot?" Director Zhao was very upset.
"If this blind spot is not a blind spot in our thinking, then there is a possibility left - this blind spot is a blind spot in our knowledge, a blind spot that we cannot see with existing knowledge."
Director Zhao showed a thoughtful expression on his face.
"What must have happened in the Daba Mountains on the 25th. Although we can't imagine what happened, we can ask experts and experts with more knowledge than us to analyze this strange case."
Director Zhao nodded, stretched his eyebrows but frowned again, muttering: "What happened in Tianshan District on the 25th..."
Suddenly, Gao Fei's heart suddenly moved. A sentence from Xia Yue roared in his ears like thunder: "The hot springs in the mountains have suddenly deteriorated!"
‘The hot springs in the mountainous areas suddenly deteriorated!!’
‘The hot springs in the mountainous areas suddenly deteriorated!!!’
