Chapter 611 The Fifth Mummy
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Tokita Jusan had no choice but to confess.
Decades ago, a foreign couple settled here as pastors and after a period of time they also developed some believers in the village.
At that time, Shizi Village was still a very small village and the villagers were very poor.
The four families living in the Yiren Pavilion accidentally learned that the pastor and his wife had mastered the technology of growing marijuana. Unable to withstand the oppression of poverty, they sought cooperation with the pastor and his wife, growing marijuana without telling other people in the village and making drugs to sell secretly.
They quickly became rich, and also led to the prosperity of the Cross Village, which led to the current huge Cross Village that stretches in four directions: east, west, south, and north.
But 27 years ago, the pastor and his wife suddenly decided not to grow marijuana anymore.
At that time, the pastor and his wife adopted five girls in the church. As the girls grew up, the pastor and his wife began to realize their sin and advocated stopping this extremely sinful way of making profits.
However, the four family heads, who had long been blinded by interests, would certainly not agree. They discussed it many times but all ended in unpleasantness, and finally broke up directly.
The pastor threatened that if they did not stop growing marijuana, he would tell the police even if it meant going to jail or being shot.
Then, one night, the four owners teamed up to shoot the pastor and his wife, locked their five little girls in the church, and set fire to the church.
Five little girls were burned alive and turned into mummies.
However, each of the mummies found in the church was strangely missing a part, as if they had been taken away by the devil.
Yuya's expression froze: "Has a part been missing since then?"
Shi Tian Shisan nodded weakly: "Yes, and then each of us took a mummy home..."
Shancuncao looked horrified: "Why did you bring the mummy home?"
The reason why he was not afraid of mummies at first was because he thought they were passed down from ancient times. Although such mummies were rare, they did exist.
However, it is horrifying to know now that these mummies were actually five young girls who were burned to death 27 years ago.
Shi Tian Shisan covered his chest and gasped, "In order to avoid being betrayed by anyone, each of us can keep a mummy to restrain each other. Those mummies, the bodies of those girls, are the evidence of our crimes!"
"Uh!"
Tokita Jusan suddenly wailed in pain.
Youya was shocked: "He has a heart disease, hurry up and get the medicine!"
After a flurry of activity, I finally found the medicine and gave it to him.
Tokita Jusan panted, looked at Yuya and said: "Thank you..."
Yuya said coldly: "I'm not trying to save you. How can I let you die for the sin I committed 27 years ago?"
Tokita Jusan lay on the ground, staring at the sky with lifeless eyes, muttering, "Yes, the secret of 27 years, finally I don't have to live in torment like this anymore."
Yuya continued to ask: "By the way, the fifth mummy was placed in the church?"
Tokita Jusan nodded: "Yes, it should also be placed in the basement."
Yuya pinched his chin and fell into thought. After a while, he looked at Yamamura Cao and said, "Officer Yamamura, let's go take a look at the mummy. I have a bold idea."
"Perhaps I know the identity of the murderer, the fifth mummy."
···
Everyone came to the church basement.
Youye touched the coffin lid, which was covered with thick dust. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time.
Yamamura Cao hid behind Yuya a little timidly, looking at the coffin cautiously.
Makino Hiiragi asked tentatively: "Yuya-kun, what's the matter with you saying you know the identity of the fifth mummy? Shouldn't the fifth mummy be in this coffin?"
Youya said slowly, "There is a mummy of a pastor's daughter in each of the four strange houses. We have already seen the other four, but this one."
He knocked on the coffin lid. "If my guess is correct, then the mummy inside is actually made up of missing parts from several other mummies."
Shancuncao suddenly realized, "You mean, one of the five girls escaped without being burned to death?"
Yuya nodded: "Yes, in order to hide the fact that she was still alive, she cut off parts of the bodies of the other four people and arranged them in a disorderly manner, making it look as if the devil had taken parts of the bodies of the five people."
"And to avenge his family, he returned today, 27 years later, as the fifth mummy!"
After Yuya finished speaking, he pushed open the lid of the coffin, and the mummy inside appeared in front of everyone, but...
It was very different from what Youya expected. The mummy in the coffin was missing the abdomen.
"Is my reasoning wrong?" Youye frowned. No, it was impossible. His reasoning had never been wrong. There was only one possible result derived from the existing clues and information.
Makino Hiiragi looked at Yuya worriedly: "Yuya-kun..."
You ignored him and quickly recalled the clues he had in his mind, but no matter how he reasoned, he only got this one result.
"Which part went wrong?" Youya paced on the spot, "Or did I miss some clue?"
Yamamura So looked confused, and the others were also puzzled: "Detective Kamiya, what's going on? Why did you say that your reasoning was wrong?"
Yuya said: "According to my speculation, the fifth mummy was pieced together from the parts of other mummies, but the situation of this mummy is very different from what I expected..."
Shancun Cao was puzzled: "Why?"
Yuya looked around, borrowed a pen and paper from a police officer and started drawing. Everyone quickly gathered around.
“First, the Tokita family’s mummy, what’s missing is the head;
Next is the Fuyuki family, the one missing is the right hand;
For the Kazematsu family, it’s the right shoulder and left hand;
What is missing from Dou’s family is the lower body.”
Yuya drew as he spoke, and soon he had finished drawing simple drawings of the five mummies.
Yamamura Sou imitated Yuya and analyzed with his chin pinched: "In other words, the fifth mummy should be made up of the missing head, right hand, right shoulder, left hand and lower body?"
"But it's a bit strange," Miyano Shiho was a little confused, "If that's the case, then shouldn't the fifth mummy have no chest area?"
She turned her head and looked inside the coffin, then said, "But this mummy is missing the abdomen."
Yuya nodded: "Yes, according to my reasoning, this shouldn't be the result."
Miyano Shiho also felt a little strange, as she had never seen any problems with Yuya's reasoning.
At this time, Shancuncao jokingly said, "Do you think there is a possibility that the fifth mummy accidentally spelled himself wrong when he spelled himself?"
Miyano Shiho felt amused.
But Yuya's expression suddenly became serious. He compared the simple diagram he drew back and forth, and after a while, he slammed the table.
"So that's how it is."
"Officer Yamamura is right. It is indeed a misspelling. However, the person who misspelled it is not the fifth mummy, but..."
"I."
