  People always calm down after being impulsive, and a conflict ends with such a temporary conclusion. The child's mother had fainted from crying and was sent back home, while the child's father couldn't take the blow and collapsed onto his bed. And that's exactly what happened:

  Ma Lao Er has a five-and-a-half-year-old son named Ma Wen Jun. In the afternoon, when no one was at home, Ma Lao Er and his wife went to work in the fields. The village of Hong Cun is not very big, and this child, apart from being naughty like children of his age, is quite sensible. As usual, when he left the house, Little Jun was still playing alone in the courtyard with a small stool, making train noises.

  Ma's family had a courtyard, the railing was slightly higher than Xiaojun, standing there and looking down was the roof of the Great Hall. At 2 pm, the owner of the small grocery store saw Xiaojun, the child took some change to buy honey cakes. The neighbor next door also saw the child at around 2 o'clock picking chestnuts in the chestnut forest, he even politely called out "Niang" (a term used to address an older woman).

  Ma Lao Er gets off work at 4:30 and returns home to find the courtyard door open, but the child is not there. He calls out several times in the courtyard but receives no response. At first, he doesn't think much of it, assuming the child has just gone out to play somewhere. The Ma family usually finishes dinner by 5 o'clock, at which time Little Jun would normally be clamoring for his own small bowl, but the child still hasn't appeared. Ma Lao Er's wife is getting angry, saying that when the child returns, she will scold him severely for coming home so late.

  Around 5:01, Ma Lao Er searched around his house but didn't see anyone, so he went to ask the neighbors. Xiao Jun had several playmates in Hongcun who were about the same age. Ma Lao Er thought that maybe he had gone to someone else's home to play and was kept for dinner. The couple began to search separately, but after a circle of searching, they still didn't see their son. One child said that at more than 3 o'clock, he saw Xiao Jun on the wooden bridge in front of his house. Ma Lao Er hurried back, afraid that his son might have fallen into the river.

  At six o'clock, many people in the village knew that Ma Wenjun was lost and started to help find him. Ma Laoer and his wife walked downstream along the river. Just before Cha Wenbin woke up, someone found a sachet on the side wall of the Grand Hall. After identification by Ma's family members, the sachet was made by Ma Wenjun's grandmother for him, with his name on it, and was usually tied to his waist.

  The Grand Hall had a fire several years ago when it was the village-run collective broom factory. In addition to burning a pile of brooms, at that time half of the roof and one wall where raw materials were piled up the most were also burned down. Later, the roof was renovated, and the wall was replastered with lime.

  The wall that had been exposed to high temperatures began to crack under the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, two years ago, a crack appeared at the location near the rear end of the auditorium on the left side, several green bricks fell out from inside, revealing a hole, just big enough for a five or six year old child to crawl through. Because the hole was small, the auditorium had been abandoned for many years, and the village didn't bother to repair it, everyone thought that the child must have mischievously crawled into the hole and accidentally rubbed off the fragrance pouch on his waist.

  Someone was lying at the entrance of the cave shouting inside but didn't see any response. Ma Lao Er and his wife also rushed over, because this hall had just been used by the Kong family, and the key was still in Kong Lao Da's hand, so someone went to find Kong Lao Da to open the door. As soon as he heard that the child might have crawled inside, he immediately rushed over without even eating his meal. Although it is said that this place for placing coffins should not be easily disturbed, Kong Lao Da thought that saving people was urgent and did not push or delay at all.

  As soon as the door was opened, the first person to enter the house was Ma Lao Er's wife. All that could be heard was her wailing loudly before she fell to the ground. What had happened? Ma Wen Jun was hanging from the center of the main hall, where a wooden five-pointed star was embedded in the ceiling. One of the coffins belonging to Kong Jia Er's parents had fallen over, with the coffin lid rolling to one side and the skeletal remains scattered all over the floor. Kong Lao Da was shocked, kneeling down with a thud, for it was his own father, how could he explain this to his siblings?

  He cried and cried, and someone immediately borrowed a ladder to take down Ma Wenjun. The child's body was already stiff, icy cold, and abnormally dry. His cheeks were sunken, and his face was pale. The child's hands and feet were tied with hemp ropes in two circles. The person who tied the knots used an extremely strange technique, and the villagers tried to untie them but found it impossible, so they had to cut them open with a knife. What's even more bizarre is that there was a copper coin hanging from the child's feet, tied with red thread and dangling between his legs. The child's original clothes had been stripped off, and he was dressed in the funeral attire that was originally placed on Kong Lao Da's father's grave...

  It was soon discovered that the rope used to hang the child was the same one used to lift the coffin of Kong Lao Da's father. The reason the coffin had fallen over was because this rope was missing. The door was locked properly, and only Kong Lao Da had the key. Everyone knew he was at home today, and the small hole outside could only be crawled through by this child. Because his father was inside, Kong Lao Da had even taken the precaution of closing all the windows on the surrounding walls and pasting a layer of newspaper over them the night before, sealing off all exits. So, who was it that harmed the child after he entered?

  No excuses needed, people's first thought was that it was a paranormal event!

  The night before, the Kong family had a big feast and invited two monks to perform rituals. Now, more than half of the villagers present yesterday watched the whole process at the Kong's house. Many people who didn't believe in evil spirits also believed it last night. Since there really are "ghosts" in this world, the conclusion is obvious: that naughty kid must have sneaked in and was harmed by the ghost of the Kong family's elderly couple! Poor Ma Wenjun died such a miserable death, still so young and innocent, yet became a scapegoat.

  If it weren't for Old Kong's quick thinking, realizing this would affect him too, making an excuse to go back and call for help before running away first, he'd probably have been beaten to death right there in the Great Hall.

  It turned out that after the incident, Mr. Kong immediately asked his nephew to invite Zhang Wenbin back, but he himself was already surrounded at home and seeking divine intervention. It's estimated that if they hadn't arrived, in a few more minutes, the Kong family would have been breached, and by then it wouldn't be just a small matter of Ma Da Pao bleeding, Mr. Kong would not be beaten to death today but would be driven to death.

  After understanding the situation, Cha Wenbin's first reaction was that it was a homicide case, so he immediately asked the village to call the police station; secondly, all unrelated people returned home, the more people, the easier it is to disturb the clues; thirdly, the village sent people to live in Ma's and Kong's homes to prevent the situation from expanding; fourthly, before the police arrived, no one could enter the auditorium, and the militia team guarded with guns.

  Such an arrangement is both reasonable and reasonable, and many people can't help but secretly give this young man a thumbs up again. At a young age, he is not flustered or flustered, and he can calm the scene and come up with a solution. The village branch secretary immediately expressed his stance and followed these few points to implement it. Xia Laoliu, as an old veteran of the village, took charge of leading people to guard the auditorium in times of crisis.

  At that time, the police didn't have such high-tech equipment as they do now. The nearest police station to Hong Village was in the town, and it would take more than an hour to get here. It was after 8 o'clock, and both sides of the river opposite the Grand Hall were packed with people. A jeep with a police light and a three-wheeled vehicle entered the scene one after another.

  The team was led by Wan Yongqiang, a seasoned county public security brigade criminal investigation team leader. He and Xia Laoliu were former comrades-in-arms who had retired from the battlefield in Korea. Xia Laoliu had returned to his village to become a farmer because he didn't like eating at public expense and liked being carefree. As soon as they met, Team Leader Wan called out to Old Six and asked about the general situation. Upon hearing that many people had entered the scene and the child had been taken down, Old Wan furrowed his brow.

  It was not natural, when he carefully entered the house with shoe covers and gloves, holding a flashlight, and saw footprints all over the floor. The handprints on the wall and pillars were even more chaotic, making it impossible to extract any valuable clues. After investigating the scene roughly, Old Wan withdrew first, leaving behind a group of police officers who continued to search for clues inside. Pulling Xia Lao Liu along, Old Wan took him to a place with fewer people and asked: "I heard that this house is a bit eerie, isn't it?"

  Xia Lao Liu patted a shoulder badge on his shoulder and said: "You're a head of the criminal investigation team, do you still believe in this?"

  Lao Wan handed Lao Xia a cigarette and lit one himself, sighing: "I'm getting old, I won't have many years left before I retire. Over the years, I've handled quite a few cases, and seen my fair share of strange ones too. There are still several unsolved cases hanging around, and just before we set off today, the driver told me that something had happened at this conference hall before. As it happens, he's from Hong Village, a veteran who was assigned to be a driver for the Public Security Bureau after his discharge. Honestly, based on my experience, this kid's case won't be easy to crack - the crime scene has been severely damaged and there are no eyewitnesses. For now, the possibility of it being a revenge killing is slightly higher."

  "A vendetta?" Xia Lao Liu thought for a moment, if it was a vendetta, wouldn't that mean someone from their own village did it? But who had such a deep grudge against Ma Lao Er's family that they would use such vicious means to harm a child?

  After finishing the cigarette, Old Wan put away his waist bag and said: "Alright, I won't leave tonight. This job will probably take several days to complete. Later, I'll sleep at your place, and we fellow soldiers haven't seen each other for years, so tonight we must have a good drink."

  It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that the police car decided to take the child's body back, saying they needed to get a forensic doctor to determine the cause of death. As soon as this was said, the Ma family refused to cooperate. Ma Lao Er's wife rushed down from bed barefoot and tightly hugged her son, saying that if anyone tried to take him away tonight, she would go with him, and whoever dared to move him would have to kill her first. The scene suddenly froze...
