Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room

Deer antlers are regarded as Chinese medicinal materials in the eyes of humans, and the price is not expensive, much cheaper than deer antlers.

Chen Yi really wanted to talk to the women in the village. He saw very few women along the way. He was worried that there were some taboos in the village, so he didn't take the initiative to approach them.

Now it seems that he is overthinking.

"How much is it?" Chen Yi asked.

Seeing that the other party was interested in buying after asking for price, the village woman's eyes lit up, she reached out and picked up the antlers and walked out of the house.

Chen Yi glanced down. It was brown and rough, like dead wood that had been on the ground for many years. If it weren't for the recognizable curved shape and bifurcation, no one would know what it was.

The quality is not very good.

It doesn't matter, his goal is not the antlers.

"Two pounds, six hundred yuan, okay?" the village woman said as she walked and stood in front of several people.

The skin of village women is very moist, which should be related to the living environment and is naturally hydrated.

He just looks average.

Two pounds of 600 yuan is more expensive than the market price, and the quality of the goods is not good, almost twice the price.

Seeing that Chen Yi didn't speak immediately, the village woman thought that he thought it was too expensive and quickly lowered the price: "Five hundred is fine."

When Chen Yigang wanted to speak, the village woman continued: "How about four hundred...you can give it to me."

She is quite short of money.

The whole village must be short of money, and judging from the village woman's attitude, she is even more in need.

"Four hundred is fine." Chen Yi agreed, "Sister, do you have anything else to sell? How about we go into the house and talk."

The village woman was delighted and quickly led several people into the house.

The ground was made of hard soil, and an old wooden table was placed in the center. The tabletop was pitted and pitted, obviously having experienced the ravages of time.

There was an old incandescent lamp overhead, which was not lit, making the room seem somewhat dim.

In order to welcome the guests, the village woman took the initiative to turn on the lights. Along with the sound of electricity, yellow light filled the house.

The house is quite big, with five small doors leading to the bedrooms and kitchen, but the furnishings give it the feeling of a house with bare walls.

The four people's attention was attracted by a little girl. She was wearing shabby clothes and had a dirty face, but her cute big eyes were very smart. She was standing at the door of the bedroom with a curious and timid look on her face.

"This is my daughter." The village woman introduced, "Lanlan, you can play by yourself, mom has guests."

The girl returned to the room obediently.

Village woman: "Sit down, I don't have enough bowls at home to pour water for you, I'm sorry."

"fine."

Chen Yi said something, and several people came forward and sat down.

The village woman went to the house to search for a while, then came to the living room with a bunch of things and put them all on the table.

The items are very mixed, all produced in the mountains, including wood with very ornamental shapes.

"Do you think there is anything you like? It's cheap." The village woman also sat down.

Chen Yi signaled to pay for the antlers first. Qin Fei took out his wallet, counted four banknotes and handed them to the village woman.

Before coming, he expected that he might need cash, so Chen Yi asked Qin Fei to withdraw several thousand yuan.

Seeing the brand new hundred dollar bill, the village woman was extremely happy and quickly collected it.

Chen Yi held his breath and asked if he could smoke. The village woman did not dare to neglect the big customer, so she got up and took a worn-out small plate as an ashtray, and thoughtfully poured some water.

"Thank you." The cigarette was lit and Chen Yi asked, "Brother is out and busy?"

The village woman nodded: "Yes, I'm going out and riding my bicycle down the mountain to sell some medicinal materials."

Chen Yi: "Don't you guys rarely go down the mountain? And the nearest market is quite far away. It takes several hours to ride back and forth."

The village woman sighed: "A few years ago, he fell down the mountain and injured his leg. There is nothing we can do. It is better to earn more, otherwise the child will starve."

Chen Yi understood and didn't ask in detail.

Being able to ride a bicycle means that the leg injury is not particularly serious, but even if it is injured a little on the mountain, it will be very inconvenient to move.

"Sister, can I ask something?" Chen Yi said the purpose.

The village woman was surprised: "Huh? You don't want to buy it..."

Chen Yi added: "You can pay."

When she heard about the money, the village woman said no more, "Okay."

Chen Yi: "I heard that the burned house at the bottom of the mountain belongs to the old Wang family in the village?"

Village woman: "Yes."

Chen Yi: "The whole family has moved away now, right?"

Village woman: "Yes, we moved away."

Chen Yi: "Is there someone in the village who has a grudge against Lao Wang's family?"

The village woman thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is such a thing, a conflict between the younger generations. It is either a grudge or a conflict when they went up the mountain to snatch a wild ginseng. It has been many years."

Chen Yi: "In the end, did the wild ginseng return to Lao Wang's family?"

The village woman nodded: "Yes, that wild ginseng is quite expensive. I heard from the sales agent down the mountain that it was sold for thousands. It made the old Liu family very angry and scolded them when they met."

Chen Yi: "What are the names of the young people in the Liu family now?"

Village woman: "Liu Ma."

Chen Yi: "Still in the village?"

Village woman: "Yes."

Chen Yi: "Where do you live?"

Village woman: "Just enter the fifth house in the village. There are many animal furs hanging at the door. Liu Ma is quite capable."

After saying that, she looked at Chen Yi with hope in her eyes.

Seeing this, Chen Yi took out two hundred yuan from Qin Fei's wallet and handed it to the village woman, who smiled more on her face.

Next is the second question.

What gentleman.

The village woman's reaction was the same as the others, her face changed and she quickly shook her head: "No... I don't know, I haven't heard of it."

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment, but decided to use his money ability.

He didn't want to cause trouble to the other party's family, so he just heard it and pretended not to know.

When the thousand yuan was placed in front of the village woman, she struggled and whispered, "Why are you asking this?"

Chen Yi smiled and said, "I'm just curious. I promise not to say a word."

The village woman was silent. After quietly looking at the money on the table, she made up her mind: "It's Ji Jun."

Ji Jun?

Everyone looked at each other. This was the first time they heard this word.

"Ji Jun is the mountain wolf?" Chen Yi said.

The village woman: "Yes."

Chen Yi: "Then why don't other villagers want to say it?"

The village woman: "Because the police came many years ago and didn't allow mountain burials. We can only do it secretly. We just need to know it ourselves."

Mountain burial?

Chen Yi thought of sky burial.

This is a traditional funeral method. After a person dies, the body is transported to a designated location and let vultures or other birds and beasts eat it. The locals believe in the immortality of the soul and the theory of reincarnation.

Sky burial is actually no different from cremation in essence. Both are ways to express mourning for the dead. In addition, there are burials and water burials, depending on the unique local culture.

Mountain burial, this is the first time I've heard of it.

Since it is related to mountain wolves, it must be another form of sky burial, right?

But... why do the police care about other people's funeral methods? Are they free?

Something is wrong.

"What is mountain burial?" Chen Yi asked.

The village woman explained: "Throw the deceased into the burial valley and let Ji Jun eat them."

Chen Yi nodded: "I understand, I think it's normal, why should the police care?"

The village woman opened her mouth but didn't say anything immediately.

Chen Yi assured: "I will pretend that I haven't heard it, don't worry, big sister."

After speaking, he pushed the banknotes over.

The village woman put away the banknotes and lowered her voice: "Sometimes living people are also thrown into the burial valley."

This made everyone present startled.

Living people? !

Isn't that intentional homicide?

Chen Yi frowned, a little regretful that he had promised the other party to pretend not to know.

"What kind of living people?" he asked.

Village woman: "For those who are over 60 and bedridden for a long time, it is a waste of food for us."

Chen Yi: "How long is a long time?"

Village woman: "Three months."

Chen Yi: "Forced?"

Village woman: "Voluntary."

Chen Yi: "Uh... how long has this custom lasted."

Village woman shook her head: "I don't know, it's been a long time, my family told me when I was old enough to understand."

Chen Yi looked at the woman in front of him and asked: "When you are 60 years old and bedridden, can you accept being fed to mountain wolves?"

The village woman didn't react much, nor was she angry: "I can accept it, our village is like this."

Hearing this, Xia Lan couldn't help it: "Sister, don't you think it's scary?"

The village woman asked back: "Where is it scary?"

Xia Lan was choked: "It hurts to be bitten to death by a wolf."

The village woman said: "It doesn't hurt, I don't feel it, I will take herbal medicine before going down, and I will be unconscious."

Xia Lan didn't know how to talk about it.

From a legal perspective, this is assisted suicide, and it will be prosecuted as intentional homicide, but the circumstances are very minor, and the probability of suspended sentence is very high.

There have been cases in the past where an elderly person requested euthanasia and his relatives agreed to assist in taking poison. In the end, all of them were sentenced to suspended sentences and did not go to jail.

"Don't tell anyone."

The village woman reminded.

Several people looked at Chen Yi. As a policeman, it would be impossible to pretend not to know.

Chen Yi thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."

It is useless to suppress this matter. It will only cause counterproductive effects. He will talk to the relevant departments, focus on poverty alleviation and popularization of law in Zhongluo Village, and use a gentle way to let the village return to normal modern life.

This process will last for a long time.

Everyone wants to live a better life. What year is it now?

"Sister." Chen Yi changed the subject and asked about the case. "Have you seen a few girls come to the village four years ago?"

The village woman recalled and shook her head: "No."

Chen Yi: "Then... have you heard about it? For example, something happened in the village, involving a few girls from outside."

The village woman: "No."

Chen Yi: "Have you heard villagers talk about meeting a few girls in the mountains?"

The village woman: "No."

She is not a scheming person. Chen Yi judged that this was the truth.

After multiple investigations, it can be confirmed that He Shan and the other four have never been to Zhongluo Village. With this understanding, the possibility that this case is related to Zhongluo Village is getting smaller and smaller.

"Is the village still normal in the past few years? Has anything strange happened?"

Chen Yi was about to say goodbye and asked casually before leaving.

The village woman who received the money answered every question: "The two young men are missing."

"Oh? Missing?" Chen Yi learned more, "What does missing mean, suddenly disappeared?"

The village woman nodded: "Yes, it is missing, quite suddenly, can't be found anywhere, not even on the mountain, at that time everyone in the village went to the mountain to look for it."

Chen Yi: "Is it possible that he went down the mountain by himself?"

The village woman: "There are parents at home, if you go down the mountain, you must tell them."

Chen Yi: "Didn't you call the police?"

"Call the police?" The village woman looked at Chen Yi, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes, as if the word "call the police" did not exist in the dictionary of life.

Maybe this is the backwardness of remote mountain villages. If people are lost, they will be found, and if they can't be found, there is no way, and they have never thought of seeking help from outsiders.

The mountain roads outside the village are rugged and steep in some places, and it is possible that he slipped and fell.

"When did it happen?" Chen Yi asked the time.

The village woman thought for a while and replied: "It must have been two or three years."

Chen Yi: "Can you tell me your name? I can ask someone to ask after we get down the mountain."

Village woman: "That's great. One is called Liu Shouwu and the other is called Stipa Liu."

Chen Yi sounded strange: "The name looks very much like a medicinal material."

The village woman explained: "It's just medicinal materials. We don't have much culture. Sometimes we just use the names of medicinal materials when naming them, which sounds nice."

Chen Yi: "Both are named Liu, are they brothers? And that Liu Ma."

Village woman: "There are many people named Liu in the village. Liu Shouwu and Liu Stipa are cousins. Liu Ma and them are not relatives."

Chen Yi nodded slightly: "Apart from Lao Wang's family, are there many other people who choose to leave the village?"

Village woman: "Fortunately, there are a few of them every year, and they are all young people."

The conversation ended here, and Chen Yi said goodbye and left.

It was not without gain. At least it was confirmed that He Shan and the others had never entered Zhongluo Village. Since they had not entered, it would not cause trouble.

Jiang Lili and the others also said that they had never met unrelated people while climbing. It seemed that they had never encountered any villagers, at least that was what they thought.

After leaving the village woman's home, Chen Yi took the three of them back and found the house where Liu Ma was.

Coincidentally, there was a man grooming his fur at the door.

"Hello, is this Liu Ma?"

The man turned around: "It's me, what's wrong?"

Chen Yi asked directly: "Did you burn the wooden house at the foot of the mountain?"

"Wooden house?" Liu Ma felt baffled and did not answer, and continued to sort out the furs in his hands.

Chen Yi handed over a hundred-dollar bill and repeated: "Did you burn down the wooden house at the foot of the mountain?"

When Liu Ma saw the money, it was as if he saw his father. He took it with a smile and said, "No."

"No?" Chen Yi thought he would get a definite answer, "Who burned it?"

Liu Ma blinked and said nothing.

Chen Yi handed over another one.

Liu Ma smiled: "I don't know."

Chen Yi's face darkened and he asked patiently: "Did you see a few girls climbing four years ago? Did you hear anyone discuss a few girls in the city?"

Before Liu Ma could reach out, Chen Yi handed over the third one.

Liu Male's flying sky, the money is really easy to make: "I've never seen it, I've never heard of it."

Chen Yi turned around and left.

Liu Ma shouted from behind: "Brother, do you still have any questions? Why don't you ask something else? I really don't know what you just asked. Ask about things in the village. If you are not satisfied, no money is required! If I don't know other people I don’t know anymore!”

Hearing this, Chen Yi stopped and turned back.

Liu Ma's eyes lit up and she rubbed her hands with a smile.

Chen Yi looked at him: "In the past week, have any male villagers left the village for a long time? If so, tell me their names."

Hearing this, Liu Ma's smile froze: "Okay...it doesn't seem to be the case. If you ask another question, I will definitely know!"

Chen Yi ignored him and really left this time, leaving Liu Ma standing there upset, a rare opportunity to make money.

"Captain Chen, it seems that he has nothing to do with the villagers?" Qin Fei said when they arrived at the entrance of the village.

Chen Yi: "Don't rush to conclusions yet. If Lu Minghe and the others have no results, they will come to this place again."

Qin Fei: "What does Captain Chen mean?"

Chen Yi: "All eligible male villagers, including those who have come down from the mountains to live in the city for many years, will be screened one by one."

Qin Fei understood instantly and nodded slowly, and the other two people also understood.

There are not many places where He Shan and the four of them have activities together to achieve full coverage of testing. If necessary in the future, it seems that Chen Yi will choose to gather police forces to collect DNA samples on a large scale to find the only suspect.

There was a case decades ago in which the murderer killed more than ten women in a row. In order to solve the case, the police collected 230,000 fingerprints and over 100,000 DNA samples. They finally identified the suspect during a family line investigation and successfully arrested him.

This is the persistence of criminal investigation, and this is the real Skynet's meticulousness and meticulousness.
