Chapter 449

~9 min read 1,746 words

Xishan, Shi Tingxian.

The lush forest is mainly concentrated at the top of the mountain, and from the hillside, it becomes bald.

There are countless tombstones here, and on some early tombstones, you can still see the epitaphs written by the deceased or friends.

The Shi clan did not produce any famous people who have been passed down to this day, but after generations of inheritance, there are many people who know how to read and write, and there are also many ancient books and documents left in Shi Tingxian.

However, after hundreds of years of living together, a cemetery without management cannot expand indefinitely. Some early cemeteries have been robbed one after another.

Fortunately, the locals generally do not have the tradition of thick burial. The tomb is not large, and there are few burial objects. Most of them are based on the owner's reading materials and utensils before his death. Occasionally, you can find an inkstone and a few pieces of porcelain from folk kilns, which is considered a good harvest.

Low income is the main reason why there are fewer grave robbers. Another reason is that the Shi family still lives very densely and still arranges the tombs of their elders on Xishan. Occasionally, villagers who come and go, if they encounter grave robbers, they will beat them to death as usual.

Looking at these dense tombstones and tomb bags, the two trace inspectors and forensic experts in Shi Tingxian were a little confused.

"So many, how do we find them?" Wei Qun actually didn't want to do this work. It was already very tiring to run to the wild to take a corpse. Jiang Yuan proposed a theory, and let everyone work hard to prove it. This is too stupid and tiring.

Jiang Yuan naturally wouldn't spoil him, just said: "First find the obvious grave robbery holes, mark those found, write down the location on the map, and we will find someone who specializes in this area later, and then come over to see."

The trace inspector next to him frowned: "There must be tens of thousands of tombs here, many of which have been flattened and can't be seen. How long will it take to look at them one by one."

"Tens of thousands of tombs, it will be finished in a few days." Jiang Yuan didn't give face to the crouching dragon and phoenix chick. Investigating tens of thousands of tombs is not simpler than investigating thousands of people. At the very least, you don't have to make inquiry records for it.

Jiang Yuan didn't have a brain cramp, so he thought of stuffing corpses into tombs.

First of all, the victim's death was miserable and direct, not like a passionate murder, but more like being killed after a long period of beating. And the parts of the beating are very particular.

And when it comes to killing, the method of killing is not like a novice. This feeling is difficult to describe in the form of a report, but if you look at more corpses, you can naturally distinguish it. It is like the difference between a master butcher killing a pig and a novice killing a pig. The former has much less hesitation and lag, while the latter often makes unusual mistakes.

Simply put, the beating was very professional, and the killing was also very professional. It's a bit like a professional fish killer, saying that when going to fish scales, it is purely going to scales, and when saying bleeding, it is purely bleeding.

Finally, the mode of burying the corpse and the grave robbery hole opened also belong to the direct and labor-saving mode. Needless to say, these are obviously experienced behaviors.

Coupled with the behavior of burying corpses in existing tombs, from Jiang Yuan's understanding, this whole process and the way of killing have considerable professionalism.

Professionalism requires the irrigation of experience.

Killing professionally means there is more than one dead person.

Therefore, Jiang Yuan saw this case and did not let it go easily.

As for the thoughts of the trace inspectors and forensic experts in Shi Tingxian, in Jiang Yuan's eyes, they are completely insignificant.

A few people really have no choice.

If it is said that when Jiang Yuan first arrived, Bai Liu Jian and others still had a little distrust of Jiang Yuan, now they will only be unconvinced and embarrassed, but the trust value is absolutely full.

The thoughts of the crouching dragon and phoenix chick, whether they are tired or not, will definitely not be taken to heart by the leaders.

"Wang Wang Chuanxing, you accompany them, mainly with the task force members." Jiang Yuan's own police officers were also scattered all over the mountains and plains.

Everyone first marked the obvious grave robbery holes. After a day, they marked hundreds of them.

The next day.

Li Xiang, an expert invited by Liu Liu Jinghui from the Provincial Department, arrived at the scene.

Liu Liu Jinghui introduced to Jiang Yuan and others: "Li Xiang is an expert in our province who investigates the robbery of ancient tombs. He has recovered dozens of first-class fossils..."

Li Xiang looked about 50 years old. While listening to Liu Liu Jinghui's introduction, he shook hands with him, and the two shook for a long time.

After Liu Liu Jinghui finished the introduction, Li Xiang smiled and said: "I didn't learn any technology and became an expert in ancient tombs. I just encountered a few such cases. Later, the Provincial Department had similar special cases, and they were willing to find me..."

Many experts are formed like this. Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "This case is also looking for you for the same reason."

As he said, Jiang Yuan introduced the situation of the case to Li Xiang roughly.

Li Xiang listened very carefully, and after Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he said: "In this way, our goal is likely to be a serial murder case?"

"It is very likely not." Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "The one who threw the corpse is the one who threw the corpse, and the one who killed is the one who killed. As far as the situation of the corpse we saw, the possibility of interest-driven is relatively large."

"How is this distinguished?" Li Xiang has a lot of cases in his daily life, and such cases are also rarely encountered.

Jiang Yuan thought about it and described it: "Interest-driven murder, especially when killing more, its emotional color is relatively light, just achieve the goal. This kind is more common in bandits and the like, whether it is kidnapping or rape, their purpose is very strong, and achieving the goal is the primary one."

"Serial killers are not?"

"Serial killers themselves are emotionally driven, so if killing is his goal, the corpse will usually reflect the emotions of the killer..."

Jiang Yuan made a little explanation, but did not explain in detail how the specific emotions and other contents were seen from the corpse.

Li Xiang actually didn't care much. After satisfying his curiosity, he said: "I have to say, we are looking for tombs this time, and we also need some special ideas."

He looked at the case file on the way and thought about it. At this moment, when he talked about the part he was good at, he couldn't help but smile on his face and said: "I see you marked a lot of grave robbery holes. To be honest, doing this, it is not very useful and the efficiency is not high."

"Eh, why?" Jiang Yuan was surprised.

"Because your goal is to see if there are recent corpses in the grave robbery hole. This is very difficult to verify. You may have to send someone down to see, or we will dig it out to see. The workload is not to mention, the speed must be very slow. By then, the suspects will be startled away."

Jiang Yuan nodded in agreement and asked: "What is your method?"

"I suggest looking for tombs where the grave robbery hole has been backfilled." Li Xiang said: "The Qing Dynasty tomb where the victim's corpse was found before is a complete tomb without a grave robbery hole, right?"

Jiang Yuan thought about it, and it was really the case.

"They bury corpses to hide, so there is the behavior of backfilling the grave robbery hole. But if you really rob a tomb, it is not a particularly large tomb, and grave robbers cannot backfill the grave robbery hole. Therefore, compared to tombs with open grave robbery holes, tombs with backfilled grave robbery holes are more likely to have things inside." Li Xiang finished in one breath and added: "Of course, it is better for me to see the scene. Some grave robbery holes were backfilled early, that is a matter of the past."

Jiang Yuan agreed immediately, pulled people, and went to Xishan again.

Li Xiang took the lead and continued to scan the tombs one by one.

The crouching dragon and phoenix chick in Shi Tingxian followed, and dared not say anything about too many tombs.

After a while, Li Xiang found a backfilled tomb, climbed high and looked far, and said: "Look at what's inside here first?"

Liu Liu Jinghui saw at a glance that he had reservations and immediately asked: "What did you see?"

"This side is closer to the road. Look, the car stops on the side, lifts a soil slope, and it's here." Li Xiang muttered twice and said: "I was just thinking, corpses are so heavy, it is definitely not realistic to lift them into the mountain."

"Makes sense." Liu Liu Jinghui said.

"If there is something in the tomb, it makes sense. If there is nothing, it doesn't make sense." Li Xiang laughed and directed the engineering vehicles and personnel to go into battle.

Two hours later.

This tomb from more than a hundred years ago was dug open with a large hole, and the two corpses inside were exposed.

One corpse lay steadily in the coffin, while the other corpse was scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Yuan immediately stepped forward, gave a simple forensic greeting, and called Huang Huang Qiangmin.

Huang Huang Qiangmin climbed up in a roll, listened to Jiang Yuan's description, and became excited: "Although we didn't continue to solve the case, it's quite good to add a few more cases for Captain Bai."
