During the summer vacation in July 2000, the three Deng Xiaoguang brothers followed their mother away from home two years ago, and their father also left them forever.
After my father Deng Songming went to the next village for a drink that day, he never came back.
Two days later, an old man herding cattle in the village found Deng Songming in a deserted ravine north of the village.
When it was discovered, people had already begun to rot.
How on earth did people die there?
All the villagers had Holmes on the line.
Zhang San had doubts, Zhang San said: "This Songming went to the next village to eat wine, and he didn't pass by this place when he came back. How could he die here?"
Li Si answered: "It rained heavily that night, and Song Ming probably wanted to take a shortcut to go home early. Unexpectedly, it was dark and the road was slippery, and he fell from above."
When Li Si said this, he pointed to the road above the ravine.
A steep mountain road, which is an old road from the village to the outside world.
Because there are several dangerous areas in the middle of that road, people used to stumble and fall off the cliff, and they either died or lost arms and legs.
Especially the section of road above Li Sizhi, with the mountain on the left and the cliff on the right.
Since ancient times, this section of the cliff has been known as Duantou Cliff.
Later, the old village head led the whole village to build another relatively easy road, and almost no one took that shortcut.
After Li Si said the reason, most people agreed.
Wang Mazi raised an objection. He thought that there was lightning and thunder that night, and it rained so hard that the shortcut would not be easy to walk on a sunny day, let alone a heavy rainy day.
Besides, Deng Songming is crippled, and it is already difficult for him to walk, so he is not stupid to run to that road at night to die?
Deng Banxian in the village, thin as a skeleton old man, looks pure and honest.
"I've said long ago that there's a road ghost with a very sinister spirit on this road, and he's been looking for a scapegoat. This Songming night should have fallen into his way. I'll do a ritual later to attract evil spirits." Otherwise, I'm afraid someone will suffer."
Several elderly people in the village believed in Deng Banxian's words.
?They all persuaded Deng Songming's parents to take him home, and asked Deng Banxian to perform a ritual, so that he could be buried in the grave early.
Deng Songming's parents were both honest farmers. Suddenly something happened to their son, and they were thrown into disarray for a while, especially Deng's mother. After seeing her son's body, she passed out immediately without saying a word.
Only after pinching someone did he wake up.
All the onlookers sighed, something happened to Deng Songming, the three children had lost their mother before, and now they lost their father.
The parents are old again, what should the three children do in the future?
The old village head appeared in time.
He first reprimanded Deng Banxian, saying that he would propagate feudal superstition again, and sent him to the police station for two days.
Deng Banxian slipped away with an ugly expression, and flashed quickly.
The village chief then dispersed the onlookers, protected the scene in time, and sent people to report the incident to the town police station.
Chen Ming, a young policeman from the town police station, is a veteran.
Chen Ming and Wang Tong, a young colleague in the institute, inspected the scene. Because of the limited conditions in the institute, it was impossible to judge whether Deng Songming's death was an accident or a homicide.
What impressed the young policeman Chen Ming was that boy, that thin boy.
Deng Xiaoguang, son of the deceased Deng Songming.
The child looked at his father lying in the mud, with tears in his eyes, and stood beside his father silently. No matter who called him, he was unwilling to leave.
Contrary to Deng Xiaoguang's sadness, there are two young siblings.
They didn't know what happened at all, the younger sister asked Deng Xiaoguang timidly.
"Brother, is Dad lying there and falling asleep?"
The younger brother answered: "Brother, why doesn't Dad go home and sleep?"
When the two children said these words, everyone present was moved.
The tears in Deng Xiaoguang's eyes couldn't stop falling to the ground, but he still stood there stubbornly, refusing to move half a step.
The place where Deng Songming was found was in a ravine halfway up the mountain, and there was a corn field on the edge of the ravine. To put it simply, except for the owner of the corn field who would come here when doing farm work, most people would not go there if they had nothing to do. Come and stroll in this ditch.
night of heavy rainIt is even more impossible for Deng Songming to come here.
The deceased Deng Songming was wearing a shoe on one foot, and the shoe on the other foot was scattered in the grass not far away.
There are traces of weeds being pressed on the top of the ditch.
Chen Ming's understanding was the same as that of most of the villagers. Deng Songming should have fallen to his death from the cliff a few feet above the bottom of the ditch.
The rain two days ago was not small, and the mountain road was muddy.
The police of the Dahe Town Police Station usually deal with neighbor disputes, theft and other public security management work.
It can be said that there are basically no such cases of human life.
Chen Ming and Wang Tong didn't graduate from the police school either, so they were capable of fighting, but they could be said to be novices in case investigation.
But I have never eaten pork, I have always seen pigs running!
In crime-solving films and reconnaissance documentaries, ordinary people know, traces, fingerprints, and find the key points of the case from the details.
The first thing Chen Ming thought of was to find Deng Songming's footprints.
It is not difficult to find some traces. If Deng Songming was in a hurry to go home two nights ago and took a shortcut to go home, there should be his footprints on that mountain road.
Deng Songming is lame in one foot, and the stress points of the two feet are different. It is easier to find his footprints.
Facts have proved that Deng Songming did not take a shortcut to go home that night.
Chen Ming and Wang Tong found a footprint belonging to Deng Songming at a place on Duantouya. Deng Songming was wearing a pair of canvas rubber shoes at the time. The soles of the rubber shoes had horizontal and regular lines, and one of the footprints was particularly obvious.
On the mountain road going up from here, there is no half footprint.
That is to say, if Deng Songming did not arrive at Duantouya from the other side of the mountain, he could only arrive at Duantouya from the foot of the mountain in the village.
On a rainy night, why didn't Deng Songming go home instead of running to this deserted mountainside?
This is also an unsolved mystery.
On the edge of Duantou cliff where Deng Songming's footprints were found, several wild boar footprints were also found.
In addition to the wild boar and Deng Songming's footprints, another set of footprints and some bloodstains were found.
It was these bloodstains that made Chen Ming panic. Do these bloodstains belong to Deng Songming?
The other set of footprints is more messy, with no regular shoe prints. Judging from the size, it can only be seen that it is a man's footprints.
However, it is impossible to judge whether these two sets of footprints appeared in this place at the same time unless professional trace inspection.
But one thing can prove that this group of footprints must have appeared when the heavy rain started, or the next day after the rain stopped. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
