Since Su's private room is reserved tonight, no other guests will be entertained from the first to fifth floors of the Sanhua Building. The shopkeeper has set aside private rooms on the fifth floor for the prostitutes of Hongxiangfang, the musicians of the Music Studio, and the dancers of the Yongzhoufang. Replacement use.
Minina is the head dancer of Yongzhoufang, which is equivalent to the chief dancer of the dance company in modern times. She was specially arranged in the Yanchai Pavilion of the highest standard, and the location is very quiet.
Go down the stairs, bypass the colorful screen that is four feet long and one foot high, and then walk down a walkway to the end. You can see the wooden sign of Yanchai Pavilion. The double doors with green panels and red lattice are closed tightly, and a pool of water flows out from under the door. The bright red blood spread along the texture of the floor, like a strange map drawn with blood.
The shopkeeper of Sanhualou, a few servants and a few male dancers were standing outside the door, their faces turned pale with fright. When they saw Hua Yitang and others, they rushed to greet them, "Hua Cunjun, look at this bloody blood. ——”
Fang Ke squatted down, dipped some blood on his fingertips, and smelled it, "It's human blood."
Ling Zhiyan visually measured the distance, "It can flow out of the house. The amount of blood is huge. I'm afraid -"
Hua Yitang's face darkened, "Shopkeeper, quickly block all entrances and exits. No one is allowed to leave the Sanhua Building. Jin Ruo, send a message to the Jing Sect disciples outside the Sanhua Building and ask the nearest disciples to go to the government office. Just say it is My order is for the head catchers and the bad guys to come quickly to provide support."
Jin Ruo responded, ran to the window at the end of the corridor, stuck his head out, pulled out the reporting fireworks and sent them into the night sky.
The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his face carelessly, "The people coming tonight are all nobles from aristocratic families. If they insist on leaving, I, I don't dare to stop them!"
Hua Yitang: "Tell them, whoever dares to step out of the Sanhua Building will have their legs chopped off by Mrs. Lin's Qianjing!"
"Yes, yes!" The shopkeeper led a group of servants and ran out.
Ling Zhiyan stepped outside the Yanchai Pavilion door in two steps, pushed the door open, but turned to ask the dancers, "Are you sure Minina is inside?"
The male dancer is also a non-Muslim, speaking with a unique retroflex tone, "I'm in there, after the performance, and after I returned to the house, I've been in there and never come out."
Lin Sui'an stepped forward and slapped the door panel without daring to use too much force. There was a click inside the door, the door latch broke, and the two doors slowly opened with a creak.
A strange smell hit their faces, fishy but sweet, fragrant but sour. Lin Sui'an and Ling Zhiyan covered their noses at the same time and took half a step back, choking until they couldn't open their eyes.
Jin Ruo behind him suddenly took a breath of cold air.
Lin Sui'an opened his eyelids and saw blood on the ground, extending from the door to the inside. His eyes slowly followed the blood forward - upward - and saw a pair of feet, bare feet, with blood flowing along the toes. dripping, a golden bell hung on the ankle, the bright red bloomers were soaked with blood and stuck to the leg, a horizontal knife was inserted in the abdomen, blood dripped along the blade, the skin on the abdomen was frighteningly white, and the blond hair was scattered It covered her chest and face, and three thick leather ropes were tightly tied around her neck and wrists. Her head was hanging limply to the right. There was a bloody hole on the left side of her neck. Minina's whole body was actually hanging in the shape of a cross. On the rafters. Already dead.
The roof and wall on the left were spattered with blood. Behind the body was an open window sash. Outside the window, one could see the dark night sky and the bustling Jinjiang Night Market. The river wind roared, and the body was swayed by the wind. A strand of blond hair floated up. Revealing half of a dark green eye.
There was a "buzz" in Lin Sui'an's mind, and Minina's eyes rushed to his eyes like a 3D special effect. His eyes suddenly turned black and then white. A bright moon gradually appeared in his sight, and the towering branches seemed to Pale and withered hands stretched out desperately towards the moon, and low cries and laughter sounded in their ears. The cries were like ghosts and the laughter was like demons, which was creepy.
Suddenly, big cold hands covered Lin Sui'an's eyes. Lin Sui'an swayed and leaned into the arms of the person behind him, smelling the endless fragrance of fruit and wood.
Lin Sui'an's racing heart gradually calmed down.
"I saw the moon, dead trees, crying, and laughter..."
"okay, I get it."
Hua Yitang's voice became gentler, but his hands became colder, and his palms were slightly sweaty.
Lin Sui'an heard Jin Ruo's footsteps entering the house, stepping on blood, and Lin Sui'an pulled Hua Yitang's hand down and squeezed his wet palm with her fingers, "Are you scared?"
Hua Yitang looked away and said nothing.
Lin Sui'an understood, "The shape of the corpse this time is indeed a bit scary."
Hua Yitang suddenly turned around and looked over, his eyes bulging like goldfish, "I'm afraid-"
Lin Sui'an blinked innocently.
Hua Yitang suddenly became discouraged and said, "That's it." He took out his "Little Four Treasures" and quickly sketched and recorded all the objects at the crime scene.
Yanchai Pavilion was originally a private room, but it was only temporarily requisitioned. The original sitting tables, desks, tables and other items in the room have not been removed. They are all stacked up against the wall. There are ten desks, ten sitting tables, ten sitting tables and so on. There are tables, tea sets, bowls and chopsticks placed on the shelf near the door. There is a floor-to-ceiling copper candlestick near the window, and the candles on it are all extinguished.
Jin Ruo pointed his toes and walked around, shaking his head frequently, "There is too much blood, and the traces are all covered. Come in."
Fang Ke had already put on the special gloves and blouse for autopsy, and was the first to enter. He circled around Minina's body, measured the wound on her abdomen with his fingers, and glanced at the beams.
Jin Ruo and Ling Zhiyan jumped up and leaned on the beam to take a closer look.
Ling Zhiyan: "Three cowhide ropes, one finger thick. Judging from the knots, they should be made by the same person. There are not many traces on the beams under the leather ropes. The leather ropes have not been hung up for a long time -"
Jin Ruo measured his head and put his eyes against the beam, "There is no dust on the beam. It should have been cleaned not long ago."
Fang Ke spread a straw mat and white cloth on the clean floor against the wall, handed Lin Sui'an a set of gloves and a smock, and said, "Put the person down."
Lin Sui'an put on the equipment and carefully supported the legs of the corpse. Jin Ruo and Ling Zhiyan untied the leather ropes around their necks and wrists in turn. Minina slipped into Lin Sui'an's arms. Her death time was very close. Rigor mortis has not yet formed, the body is still soft, and the skin retains a little residual warmth. When Lin Sui'an placed the body on the white cloth, he even felt that she could still be saved.
Fang Mo pushed away the blond hair from Minina's face, revealing her beautiful pale face. Lin Sui'an sighed. This passionate and unparalleled dancer can no longer dance...
"It shouldn't be difficult to find out the cause of death. Should we examine him here or take him back to the government office?" Fang Ke turned around and asked.
Hua Yitang gritted his teeth, "Try it now."
"That's fine, the fresher it is, the more accurate the test will be."
Fang Ke began to take out the autopsy tools one by one from the big wooden box.
Ling Zhiyan walked to the door, squatted down, picked up the broken door latch and inserted it back in. She looked at it and said, "The door is bolted from the inside."
Jin Ruo lay on the window and looked down, "This place is at least ten feet high from the ground. Unless someone like Master or Yun Zhongyue is inhuman, ordinary people, even ordinary people in the world, will not be able to jump from the window." Death is certain,"
Lin Sui'an glanced at Jin Ruo, then lay down on the window and looked up. It was three feet away from the eaves of the sixth floor, and there was no place to stay around. He would die faster if he climbed up.
Hua Yitang walked around the candlestick, picked up half of the candle, smelled it, sneezed, and threw it back in disgust, "Could it be a secret room—Gah!"
Hua Yitang suddenly froze on the spot, his eyes rolling up and down, his lips trembling wildly, "Ahhhhhhhhh--"
Lin Sui'an: "..."
What is this thing for? Got a bug?
Jin Ruo pointed to Hua Yitang's feet, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah -"
There was a pale hand on Hua Yitang's ankle, and the arm stretched out from the wall. Lin Sui'an's hair stood on end, what a guy! Have you changed the supernatural script? !
Ling Zhiyan rushed over like a gust of wind, squatted down and took a closer look, then took off the hand from Hua Yitang's ankle, "There is a pulse, he is alive." After saying that, he knocked on the wall where his arm was stretched out. Click, the wall shattered, and it turned out to be just a paper screen with a color and texture similar to the wall.
"All three of them couldn't muster the courage." Fang Ke rolled his eyes and stepped forward. Together with Ling Zhiyan, he grabbed the hand and dragged it out, dragging out an unconscious woman with crimson eyes and a hibiscus hairpin. It's Duan Hongning, the oiran.
Hua Yitang was so frightened that he rushed to Lin Sui'an's side. He held Lin Sui'an's sleeves with one hand and held his chest with the other and screamed. When Jin Ruo saw that it was a living person, his courage suddenly increased and he stepped forward. After looking around, "This screen is movable and can be moved." He kicked the screen open and got in. "There is a room inside. It's so dark."
Ling Zhiyan lit the fire and followed closely. After a moment of silence, they both said "Ah" at the same time.
Hua Yitang: "What happened? What happened?!"
"Amazing!" Jin Ruo shouted.
Ling Zhiyan: "Silang, Mrs. Lin!"
Lin Sui'an grabbed Hua Yitang's neck and got in. His vision was very limited. There was only a little light from Ling Zhiyan's fire. Jin Ruo and Ling Zhiyan stood face to face, and the light from the fire fell on the ground. Another person appeared, lying on the ground with his eyes closed, and it turned out to be Wu Zhengqing.
Hua Yitang pinched his nose: "What does it smell like? It's so fishy and smelly!"
It does smell bad, Lin Sui An said, like a trash can in a seafood market.
Jin Ruo knelt down and felt Wu Zhengqing's pulse, then clicked his tongue, "It's a pity, he's still alive."
Hua Yitang took out the night-lighting pearl and looked around. It was a very strange room. The windows were sealed, not letting in any light. There was also a copper candlestick standing by the wall. It looked like the same style as the one in the outer room. , there were several half-burned candles on the candlestick.
Hua Yitang did not light the candles, but squatted down holding the luminous pearl. Only then did Lin Sui'an see that there was a large and gorgeous couch next to the candlestick, and a small wooden case. The wooden case was empty. There are no regular pillows, cushions, etc. on the couch.
"Hua, this way!" Jin Ruo called Hua Yitang over, snatched the night pearl from his hand and put it close to the ground. He saw a series of bloody footprints and walked towards the northernmost wall. Everyone followed the footprints. When we reached the wall, the last footprint was half, and the other half was submerged in the wall.
Jin Ruo chuckled and knocked on the wall with his fist. When there was a sound, he touched around the wall and found a hidden button. He hooked it and pulled it, opening a secret door.
After exiting the secret door, there was another dark corridor. Jin Ruo illuminated it with a night pearl and saw that the traces of bloody footprints were getting lighter and fainter, and finally they were almost invisible. The corridor also reached the end, and everyone got through a small door. When he came out, he found that he had arrived at a wing room again. Jin Ruo quickly searched around and lost all traces of his footprints.
Lin Sui'an walked quickly to the door of the wing, pushed open the door panel, and found that he was on the third floor of Sanhua Building. When he turned the corner, he saw the stairs extending in all directions in Sanhua Building.
The entire floor was empty, and only the shouts and curses coming from the sixth-floor pavilion could be heard faintly.

Lin Sui'an: What a terrible detective physique! :,,
