"I have already reported the case report. I think the specific investigation should be handed over to our serious crime team for investigation."
Chen Yan nodded and agreed with Liu Qingshan's suggestion.
"In this way, Captain Liu will forward a copy of the case report to me later, and I will report it to the Provincial Detective Brigade."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."
After the ownership of the case has been determined, Chen Yan will go to the site to investigate.
11:30, Taoyuan Village, Xishan.
Chen Yan has already led the team to the Taoyuan Village Cemetery where human bones were found.
Xishan area is located in the southwest of Liancheng and is a farmland protection zone of Liancheng.
Due to the need for farmland protection, there has been no large-scale tourism development in the Xishan area in recent years.
However, the Xishan area is relatively close to Liancheng, and over the years it has become a popular destination for Liancheng residents to pick farm vegetables.
Taoyuan Village is rich in peaches (serious peaches, don’t think blindly).
May is when the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the mountains and fields are filled with the fragrance of flowers.
The public cemetery in Taoyuan Village is located on a peach mountain.
It is a small ravine, hidden among the peach blossom trees.
At this moment, a cordon has been set up at the scene, and four detectives from the first detective team are conducting on-site investigation.
Liu Qingshan led the way and introduced the basic situation to Chen Yan.
"The owner of the family who moved the grave is called Zhao Kuo, and he reported the case."
"Why did the Zhao Kuo family move their graves?"
Generally speaking, ordinary families rarely move their graves.
Especially in rural areas, the naturally formed cemeteries in a village are left over from decades or even hundreds of years.
Most people will not move graves without special reasons.
"This Zhao Kuo was originally from Taoyuan Village. He came to the capital to work twenty years ago and has made a fortune in the past few years."
"Some time ago, when I went home to pay homage to my ancestors and visit their graves, I asked Mr. Yin Yang to look at Feng Shui."
"According to Zhao Kuo, Mr. Yin Yang, who is a Feng Shui expert, said that the Feng Shui of his family's ancestral tomb was not very good and would affect his future financial prospects. He suggested that he move the ancestral tomb elsewhere."
"Yesterday was an auspicious day, so Zhao Kuo arranged for people to start moving the tomb."
"Zhao Kuo's father died ten years ago. When he was buried, the coffin contained ashes, not the body."
"Zhao Kuo personally handled the funeral that year, so he was deeply impressed."
"But when moving the grave yesterday, Zhao Kuo found human bones in the grave. His father had been cremated when he was buried, so naturally there would be no bones."
"So, the bones in the coffin were definitely not his father's bones. Zhao Kuo called the police after that."
Chen Yan nodded and continued walking along the path towards the cemetery where the bones were found.
The grave of Zhao Kuo's father is in the northeast corner of the entire cemetery.
It's about 500 meters away from the main road where Chen Yan drove.
Lifting off the cordon that had been encircled, Chen Yan carefully observed the dug graveyard.
Although Zhao Kuo's father was cremated after his death, Zhao Kuo still built a coffin for his father according to Taoyuan Village's burial customs.
Ten years later, the wooden coffin had long since rotted away.
Crouching at the edge of the cemetery, Chen Yan turned on the visual gene lock.
So many years have passed since the case, and there will certainly be no useful scent left at the scene.
Chen Yan naturally did not need to activate the olfactory gene lock, but directly observed some situations in the cemetery carefully.
Rotten coffin boards were scattered in the graveyard that had been dug up.
There is also some black fabric.
"These black cloths are the shrouds Zhao Kuo prepared for his father when he was buried."
Liu Qingshan has carefully inspected the cemetery site.
"There is also a watch and a pair of reading glasses inside, which were items used by Zhao Kuo's father during his lifetime."
"We have registered these items and verified them with Zhao Kuo's family."
"It is certain that some of the funerary objects found in the cemetery belong to Zhao Kuo's father, and there are no other foreign objects."
Liu Qingshan's work has obviously been done very meticulously.
All items found in the cemetery were classified and registered, and their origins were verified.
The situation at the scene is basically like this.
But there is a question here.
If no items belonging to the owner of the skeleton were found in Zhao Kuo's father's cemetery.
So when the owner of the skeleton entered the tomb, was it a skeleton itself, or was the corpse not wearing any clothes at that time?
"Have you collected organic matter from the cemetery?"
This is an important job.
By collecting organic matter in the cemetery and then analyzing it, we can determine what state the owner of the skeleton was in when he entered the tomb.
Does it enter the tomb as a skeleton, or does it enter the tomb as a corpse, and then the body rots, leaving only the bones?
"This work has been carried out, but the analysis of organic matter has not been completed. It is estimated that the results will not be available until tonight."
Chen Yan nodded.
Liu Qingshan had a lot of experience in investigating cases. In the past six months, he and Chen Yan had been in the serious crime team and had been exposed to many cases. The general details of the work were already done very well.
Chen Yan stood up and looked around.
This cemetery in Taoyuan Village has a very beautiful scenery.
The northeast corner where Zhao Kuo's father's grave is located is next to a peach forest.
Beyond the peach forest is a small river, about one kilometer away from here.
Turning around, Chen Yan looked at the road he had taken.
Judging from the surrounding terrain, this road is the only way to enter the cemetery.
It is very inconvenient to enter the cemetery from any other direction, especially since vehicles cannot pass through at all.
Then there is also a problem here.
Why did this skeleton appear in the tomb of Zhao Kuo's father?
If the other party had killed someone, there would be no need to go so far to hide the body.
This cemetery in Taoyuan Village has a long history.
Chen Yan met some local villagers on the way here and asked about when this cemetery in Taoyuan Village existed.
According to local villagers, this cemetery has existed for at least 50 years.
It seems that the cemetery here has existed since Taoyuan Village.
For so many years, most people who died in Taoyuan Village were buried here.
So how many people are buried in the cemetery, there is no way to count them.
At a glance, there are many small, uneven mounds in this small ravine.
In fact, these small mounds are all graves.
It's just that some families stopped offering incense, and no one went to the graves, so the originally towering graves were gradually eroded by wind and rain, and slowly formed the small earthen mounds now.
In the past, there was no such thing as cremation, and people were buried directly after death.
So under these uneven small earthen mounds, there are skeletons.
In this way, if the murderer just wanted to hide the body after killing someone, there was no need to hide the body in the grave of Zhao Kuo's father.
Because from the terrain nearby, the murderer is likely to transport the body into the cemetery from the main road.
After entering the cemetery group, vehicles cannot pass at all.
The murderer can only walk in.
Then why didn't he bury the body nearby on the roadside?
Anyway, as long as you enter the cemetery, there are skeletons under the small earthen mounds.
In this way, even if it is turned out for various reasons in the future, it will not arouse suspicion.
But the other party carried the body or skeleton for at least 500 meters and hid the body in the grave of Zhao Kuo's father who had been cremated.
Isn't this making yourself uncomfortable?
