chasing the dark

Chapter 92
"Just hang an iron chain, and you can get in through the cracks in the door." After finishing speaking, Old Zhao realized that something was wrong, and quickly explained, "Colleague policemen, we are not trying to steal, but we are just thinking about coming in to see if there is anything wrong." There is no scrap copper or iron, so pick them up and sell them for some money. I really didn’t want to steal anything, if you don’t believe me, you can have your fingerprints checked, we haven’t even touched these doors, we wandered around in the yard.”

"It's not up to us to steal things or not." Ye Zhanzhou waved his hand, "I just want to know how you found this place?"

"I passed by here a few times, and saw that a series of factories and restaurants were closed. Two days ago, I chatted with a street sweeper, and he said that it had been moved away for two or three years, abandoned, and no one was in charge. Or, I No matter how courageous you are, you dare not come in!" Old Zhao tried his best to explain.

Ye Zhanzhou pointed to the door: "Tell me in detail from when you came in to when you called the police."

Old Zhao took a few puffs of cigarettes, and said, "My old lady couldn't squeeze in. I asked her to wait outside, and I came in by myself. There are broken iron pieces in this courtyard, which look like those on a car. I I picked up a few pieces and put them in the bag, as well as screws and nuts. By the way, there are also some pieces of broken wood, all there."

As he spoke, he pointed to a dirty woven bag in the corner, in which there were things strewn about and a few rotten wooden sticks piled up beside it.

"I don't know when the old woman squeezed in. She asked what she had picked up, and I showed her. She said that there must be something else in such a big yard, and the two of us were picking around in the yard. She suddenly I shouted, saying that there are bones. I said that there is a restaurant in front of me, maybe they threw it away, which is not unusual. Besides, the bones can’t be sold for much money, and it’s useless to pick them up. She showed me what kind of bones they were, and said Why is it so long, I went to see it."

Old Zhao took a puff from the cigarette, pressed it to the ground to extinguish it, and continued, "I have seen people slaughter pigs and cattle in the village before. Although the bones of the cow's legs are thick, they are only this long."

He gestured with both hands: "But the bones are all broken, and they are quite long. I thought that the bones that the restaurant doesn't want can be thrown into the slop, and it is impossible to dig a hole to bury them. The more the total, the more wrong it is, so I told the old woman She said, could it be a human bone? She was so frightened that she quickly threw it away, pulled me and ran away. But let’s go to the door, I don’t think so, we both touched the bone with our hands. Find us right now. The old woman also said, that’s how it was shown on TV, so how can we treat the two of us as murderers? Once we discuss it, let’s call the police, isn’t it a meritorious service?”

"Well, you were right not to run away." Ye Zhanzhou affirmed, "If you did, then you really can't tell."

Old Mr. Zhao sighed long and hard: "Thanks to the fact that I bought a mobile phone a few days ago, the button didn't work anymore, or I can't make this call."

"Give me your number, so I can contact you later." Ye Zhanzhou lit another cigarette for Old Zhao.

Old Zhao took the cigarette without smoking, and clamped it to his ear: "Then can we go?"

"Wait a little longer." Ye Zhanzhou got up and winked at Jiang Yu, "Go and make a record for the aunt, and let them go when you're done."

Jiang Yu responded, and as soon as he stood up, his body tilted.

"What's wrong?" Ye Zhanzhou quickly supported her.

"The feet... are numb!" Jiang Yu frowned, and draped his arms to stand still.

Xia Tian was wearing half-sleeves, the palm of her hand felt solid, making her face flushed suddenly, and she hastily withdrew her hand.

Ye Zhanzhou also realized something, and touched his nose uncomfortably: "What, you move around."

Jiang Yu put his weight on one foot, moved it a few times, and waved his hand: "It's all right."

"Hey, what are you doing here?" A playful voice came from the direction of the gate of the courtyard, it was Shen Peiqi.

Xiao Gu, who followed behind, changed his decadent appearance when he was in the game, and his eyes were full of gossip.

"You came just in time, come and have a look." Ye Zhanzhou walked over a few steps, put his arms around Shen Peiqi's shoulders, and led her to the place where the security coil was raised.

"Put the salty pig's hands away!" Shen Peiqi slapped her hands off her shoulders in dissatisfaction, "I've been tossed and tossed by you every day, this life will be in your hands sooner or later!"

Ding Xuan chuckled: "Brother Shen, what you said, why does it sound like a daughter-in-law complaining about her husband?"

Ye Zhanzhou raised his eyebrows: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't know how he is, I'd rather bend than bend, a straight man."

"Get out!" Shen Peiqi rolled her eyes directly out of the sky, and she stretched her head through the cordon to look in, "Hey! Old Wu, can you give me a piece to see?"

"Wait a while, I'll let you see when it's over." Old Wu said without raising his head.

Shen Peiqi turned around and spread her hands: "It's not that I'm lazy, Mr. Wu told me to wait, so I can only wait."

When they first arrived at the scene, the technical detectives had the right to say, they didn't speak, and no one could move around casually.

After more than 20 minutes, Lao Wu finally straightened up: "Okay, come on. Right here, don't walk around."

After speaking, he took Li Ji and Shi Hao to search for other traces in the yard.

The mounds in the cordon had been completely dug up, and the bones were scattered in a black garbage bag with holes and dirt, and the mouth was still open.

Shen Peiqi put on a mask and gloves, squatted down to the side of the mound, picked up a broken bone about 20 centimeters long, and looked at it carefully.

"Femur," he pointed to his leg, "the thickest long bone in the human body, divided into two ends, this is the upper end."

After comparing it with her hands, Shen Peiqi said again: "Male."

"It's not a hip bone, so you can tell a man and a woman?" Ding Xuan couldn't help being stunned.

He had only heard that gender could be judged by the shape of the pelvis, but he had never seen it through a broken leg bone.

Shen Peiqi winked at Xiaogu.

Xiao Gu explained: "The angle between the femoral neck and the femoral body is larger in males and smaller in females."

"Here, it's here." Shen Peiqi pointed to a position at the front of the bone, "The pelvis of a woman is broad, so the angle here is smaller."

After finishing the record, the old Zhaotou and his wife let out a sigh of relief, and left with each other.

When Jiang Yu returned to the scene, Shen Peiqi and Xiaogu were sorting the bones into bags.

She muttered curiously: "How did you shave it? It's so clean."

This clean does not mean that there is no sand, but that these bones are gray and white, with no muscle tissue on them.

"Cooked." Ding Xuan next to him gave the answer.

Jiang Yu was surprised when he heard Shen Peiqi say: "The pork ribs that have been steamed at high temperature will be bald in the mouth, leaving only one bone."

He said and gestured with his fingers: "It's the same reason, understand?"

Originally, he didn't feel much about these bones, but after being described by him in this way, Jiang Yu only felt his stomach churn, and ran away covering his mouth.
