The Flower Hall of Dali Temple is located in the southwest corner of Houya. It faces the sun on three sides and has excellent light. The honey-colored sunlight shines through the window lattice on the ground, forming neat rows of small squares. The bookcase is old and has a slippery shine on the four corners, but it is not as bright as Looking at the forehead of Chen Yanfan, the minister of Dali Temple, it still looks a little inferior.
"Chen had heard rumors about Silang of the Hua family before. He was the number one playboy in Yangdu. He was born in a wealthy family, was full of splendor, and had friends all over the world." Chen Yanfan said with a smile, "I never thought that he would be so beautiful and beautiful. The handsome young man really surprised Chen."
Hua Yitang smiled so hard that his eyes curled up: "I have heard that Mr. Chen has followed the rules, worked conscientiously, and acted steadily since he took charge of Dali Temple. When I saw him today, I realized that the world's understanding of Mr. Chen is actually a bit biased. According to Hua's opinion, Mr. Chen is getting stronger and stronger, his childlike innocence is still intact, and - he is really smart!"
Chen Yanfan gritted his teeth and said, "Silang, you deserve the award!"
Hua Yitang gritted his teeth: "Mr. Chen is so complimentary!"
The two stared at each other in dead silence.
Lin Sui'an sipped the Yahuazi and thought, "What a good guy."
When Chen Yanfan came up, he angrily scolded Hua Yitang for being an embroidered pillow who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, had only fair-weather friends, and could only see his face. Hua Yitang was even more rude. A string of flattery translated as: You are a piece of shit old stubborn, you actually climbed the wall to eavesdrop, you are so shameless! In the end, he used a finishing touch and called him an old bald man.
Chen Yanfan was so angry that he dug his nails on the edge of the table and made a rattling sound. Lin Sui'an had reason to believe that if Hua Yitang had not been entrusted with the sacred mission, he would have lifted the table and slapped Hua Yitang in the face.
Ling Zhiyan frowned and became a bitter little cabbage again.
In the flower hall, one could only hear the sound of Zhang Huai, the young minister of Dali Temple, drinking tea.
Fang Ke rolled his eyes, pushed two autopsy grids to Lin Sui'an, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The atmosphere was so tense and awkward that Lin Sui'an asked himself if he had the ability to break the deadlock, so he handed Hua Yitang two hot potatoes with his backhand.
Hua Yitang managed with a girl group-level smile, glanced at Chen Yanfan, twirled a corner of the autopsy grid, and fanned it lightly with a fan. The two autopsy reports flew to Ling Zhiyan's feet like feathers, "Ah, Ling Sizhi, you dropped something, pick it up quickly and take a look."
Zhang Huai sprayed tea: "Pfft——"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
Is this okay?
Ling Zhiyan seized the opportunity and got off the donkey along the slope, and presented the autopsy results to Chen Yanfan with both hands, "Mr. Chen, please take a look."
Chen Yanfan took it with a dark face and glanced briefly, "This autopsy examination does not comply with the regulations -" When he saw the words on it clearly, he suddenly lost his voice, his eyes widened wider and wider, and he scanned faster and faster. After reading it once and then again, he handed the two autopsy grids to Zhang Huai with a gloomy face. Zhang Huai quickly read it, was silent for a long time, looked at Fang Ke and asked:
"May I ask who this widower's name is? Where did he learn from him and where is he now?"
Fang Ji didn't even open his eyes, "If you don't believe me, you can find all the people in Dongdu and examine them together. There's no need to waste time here with insinuations and accusations."
Zhang Huai: "..."
As expected of Brother Fang! His ability to attack people is as stable as ever! Lin Sui'an secretly gave a thumbs up.
"Don't say Hua didn't warn you," Hua Yitang leaned over and put his fan head against his temples, his eyelids stretched thin and long, "If we don't catch this murderer as soon as possible, the next victim will appear soon."
Zhang Huai: "What does Hua Silang mean by this?"
"My subordinates have not yet had time to report," Ling Zhiyan presented the previous files to Chen Yanfan. "After sorting out by my subordinates, it was discovered that the ten cases that Jingzhao Mansion failed to detect and the three unsolved cases that Dali Temple was responsible for are all related to these two cases. The Zong corpse case is quite similar. The deceased were all young women, and the bodies were specially treated after death. My subordinates think that the case should be investigated together. "
Zhang Huai quickly browsed through the file and asked: "But the causes of death are not the same. Five people died of strangulation, eight people died of suffocation, and these two people died of carbon poisoning. The same murderer will usually use the same killing method. , or in other words, each murderer has his own specific killing habits——"
"The murderer is a human being, not the stones and grass on the roadside. It is a human being who will change." Hua Yitang waved his fan and said, "For example, I wanted to eat steamed buns yesterday, and I want to eat chopped minced pork today, and I might want to eat it tomorrow. Hu biscuits, I want to try hand-caught mutton the day after tomorrow——"
Ling Zhiyan: "Hmm!"
"This murderer keeps growing." Lin Sui'an kicked Hua Yitang, and Hua Yitang snorted, "Although the killing methods are different, the core logic of the murderer has not changed."
Not to mention Chen Yanfan and Zhang Huai, even Ling Zhiyan looked puzzled by this explanation. Lin Sui'an realized that she had unknowingly used modern language expressions and hurriedly translated, "I mean , the murderer’s purpose has not changed.”
Hua Yitang: "Generally, after a murderer commits a murder, in order to cover up the crime, he will destroy the body and eliminate traces of the crime. But in these cases, the murderer not only went to great lengths to leave the body behind, but also tried every means to maintain the appearance of the body. He behaved like this Abnormal, there must be a reason why you have to do this.”
Chen Yanfan: "Then what do you think the murderer's motive was?"
Hua Yitang: "Leave a complete and beautiful corpse."
Lin Sui'an: "Strangulation will not destroy the integrity of the corpse, and suffocation will not even cause any scars. The carbon poison makes the surface of the corpse pink, making it more beautiful and beautiful."
Hua Yitang: "In other words, the murderer has been improving his killing methods to make the body more beautiful."
Zhang Huai: "If it is true as you said, why did the murderer do this?! What on earth did he do for?!"
Lin Sui'an and Hua Yitang looked at each other, a little embarrassed.
"Corpse." Fang Ke said two words unusually calmly, "Both autopsy boxes are marked."
Chen Yanfan hurriedly looked at the autopsy grid again and gasped.
Zhang Huai was stunned: "However, only these two corpses were found - the other corpses did not have these -"
"I have read the autopsy records in the other files. Among the thirteen female corpses, ten of them were not carefully examined inside the vaginal door of the female corpse, so naturally nothing was found. And the remaining three were hastily examined by Sipo However, he claimed that no blood stains were found, so he concluded that the deceased had not been |raped|raped|." Fang Ke said, "There is a huge loophole in this. If he was raped while alive, there may be blood stains, maybe not. If he was raped after death, Strong, there will be no blood stains in ten. But judging from the location of the spots on the corpses, they also suffered the same atrocities within two to four hours after death. Another thing is that the surface of their corpses are all painted It is something that can keep the body from decaying. It should be a special balm. I have never seen it before. It is probably from overseas. Unfortunately, I have not yet tested the ingredients of the balm."
Lingzhi's face turned livid: "Who is this murderer?! Why did he do such an animal thing?"
Who else could it be? Nature is a metamorphosis. Lin Sui An said in peace, but said, "The murderer is arrogant and arrogant."
Hua Yitang: "The murderer kept the corpse's appearance intact, firstly, to satisfy his animal | behavior, and secondly, he decided that even if the government discovered the identity of the deceased, he would not be able to find him from the identity of the deceased. It's as if-" After a pause, "It's like provocation."
Lin Sui'an: "The murderer's family is rich and well-off."
Hua Yitang: "All the corpses were found in the Dongdu water system. The murderer must have a boat, which can sail freely and inconspicuously in various rivers and canals, making it easier to dump the bodies. The murderer used carbon gas to kill people, and he also had to keep the bodies from being destroyed. People find that they must have their own house, no, maybe more than one house."
Chen Yanfan and Zhang Huai stared at Hua and Lin, as if they were shocked that these two people could speak so well together, and every sentence was well-founded, as if they had seen the murderer at the same time.
"The murderer is a male, with an arrogant personality, a well-off family, a boat and a house, and access to valuables imported from overseas -" Hua Yitang tapped his chin with a fan, "We can only infer these at the moment - Chen Sir, why are you staring at Hua?!"
Chen Yanfan: "You sound a lot like Shiro Huajia!"
Hua Yitang: "Hua still feels that he is very similar to Mr. Chen!"
Zhang Huai: "Hmm, cough, cough, cough!"
"It's too general, so we can't determine the identity of the murderer at all." Ling Zhiyan shook his head.
Zhang Huai: "There are at least tens of thousands of men like the ones you mentioned in the eastern capital."
Chen Yanfan crossed his arms across his chest and stared at the autopsy grid on the table, starting to feel worried.
Actually, there are clues. Lin Sui'an frowned, just——
Hua Yitang tugged on her sleeve and shook her head slightly.
Lin Sui'an understood what he meant. Now they couldn't figure out the meaning of the memories left by the two corpses. Telling them was of no use except to arouse suspicion.
There was a knock on the door outside the flower hall, and a government official came in to report that two families had come to identify the body based on the missing person notice posted. Ling Zhiyan immediately stood up and went out. At this moment, Chen Yanfan suddenly stopped Hua Yitang.
"Silang Huajia, please stay." Chen Yanfan's face was solemn, and even the gloss on his forehead showed the word "dignity". Lin Sui'an looked back in surprise, and Hua Yitang nodded slightly towards her. Zhang Huai stepped forward and asked Lin Sui'an to go out with Fang Ke.
In the blink of an eye, Ling Zhiyan outside the door had disappeared. Zhang Huai's steps were extremely long, and he was chasing her as if he was rushing. He was walking out of breath. Lin Sui'an's speed was not stressful, but he was just a little curious.
"Zhang Shaoqing, what's wrong?"
"There is a reason why Mr. Chen never wanted Liu Lang to get involved in this case." Zhang Huai glanced at Lin Sui'an and said, "After that, if it is convenient for Madam Lin, can you take care of Liu Lang?"
"Eh?" Lin Sui'an pointed to his nose in surprise, "Me? Looking after Ling Sizhi?"
Zhang Huai nodded: "Presumably Mr. Chen is also saying similar words to Huajia Silang at this time."
Lin Sui'an murmured a little in his heart: Listening to this, does it mean that handsome guy Ling has some unspeakable secret?
The Corpse Collection Hall is right in front of you, the door is ajar, and heartbreaking cries can be heard from inside. Zhang Huai frowned, pushed the door open and walked in. Lin Sui'an hesitated for a moment and also went in.
Ling Zhiyan stood upright with her back against the ventilation window, her face hidden in the shadows, and her expression could not be seen clearly.
There were three people standing in front of the two morgues. The female body found yesterday was surrounded by a middle-aged couple, with their trouser legs rolled up and muddy uppers, and their clothes very simple. The man was holding a pole, and the woman had a bamboo basket under her feet. The vegetable leaves were scattered all over the ground. The woman knelt on the ground, holding the hand of the female corpse, and cried loudly. The man's pole hit the ground, and tears covered his face.
There was only an old man with gray hair next to the blind girl's body. His body was stooped and his whole body was shaking violently. Although his eyes were open, they were foggy and he was obviously blind. His fingers were as dry as tree branches and he was touching them tremblingly. The face of the female corpse was not missed, not even an inch was missed. Finally, it stopped at the forehead of the female corpse. He combed the hair of the female corpse over and over again, and pursed his lips tightly, as if something was strangling his throat. There was a whine in the throat, and muddy tears welled up from the white mist-like pupils. One drop, two drops, three drops - rolled down the forehead of the female corpse. The old man hurriedly pulled his sleeves to wipe it, but nothing happened. Can't be wiped dry.
Lin Sui'an had a headache and couldn't help but look away. She saw Ling Zhiyan slowly walking forward and said in a low voice, "The deceased is dead. Please show your condolences and be patient."
"The new clothes I made for you haven't been worn yet, why did you die? Why did you die..." The woman grabbed Ling Zhiyan's clothes tightly, "Master! Master! How did my second mother die? Of?! How did he die?!"
Ling Zhiyan hurriedly knelt down to help her, but no matter how hard she tried to help her, the woman refused to get up. She just cried and repeated one sentence, "My second mother-in-law was only seventeen years old. Why did she die? How did she die?" Ahhhh..."
Lin Sui'an and Zhang Huai went to help, but before they could help the woman up, the middle-aged man also knelt on the ground, burying his head in tears. The old man seemed to wake up from a dream, and crawled to the three of them while rubbing the mantle with his hands and knees. , tightly grabbing Lin Sui'an's sleeves, kowtowing repeatedly, making a thud on the ground, "Guan Ye, Guan Ye, what on earth was my Ni'er killed by?! Guan Ye, please tell me. ! Even if I risk my life, I will avenge my Nier!"
Zhang Huai sighed heavily and turned his head.
Lin Sui'an felt like something was stuck in her throat. She couldn't speak. She couldn't tell them the cause of death of the two girls.
Ling Zhiyan's eyes turned red, she opened her mouth, her Adam's apple moved, and then she opened her mouth again, her voice choked, "They...are...are..."
Woman: "My lord, please tell me the truth. Did my second mother-in-law die after Xiang Liu sucked her blood?"
The old man: "I heard that people who are eaten by Xiang Liu can't even keep their souls and can't be reincarnated! Ni'er has to endure hardships with me as an old man all her life, but she has a kind heart. People say that people with a kind heart can have a good pregnancy. My family Isn’t Nier even dead in the next life——”
Middle-aged man: "My poor child! What has happened to us! Without a soul, where will we find you when we die?!"
Lin Sui'an grasped the key point: They kept saying-Xiang Liu? eat human?
"No!" Ling Zhiyan breathed, "The murderer who killed them was a human being, not an evil spirit!"
The three of them looked up in shock, with tears streaming down their faces: "Really, really?"
"Really!" Ling Zhiyan said firmly, "We will definitely catch the murderer and bring you justice!
The three people kowtowed heavily and burst into tears.
Ling Zhiyan helped the three people up one by one, and Zhang Huai and the government officials took them to the back office to go through the procedures for claiming the body. Before leaving, Zhang Huai gave Lin Sui'an a meaningful look.
Lin Sui'an quickly understood what Zhang Huai meant. She saw Ling Zhiyan silently walking out of the Corpse Hall.
Lin Sui'an didn't dare to move rashly, so he could only follow him from a distance, but he saw Ling Zhiyan going further and further off the road, and arrived at an unkempt garden, with weeds spreading everywhere and few people around. Suddenly, Ling Zhiyan's straight back suddenly dwarfed, she knelt down on one knee and started vomiting violently. :,,
