"Why didn't you suspect Zhou Xing?"
On the way back to Jiulong Mansion, Chen Yutian glanced at Gongsun slightly and asked.
Gongsun glanced at him indifferently, then showed a look of anticipation in his eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord, you were indeed doubting Zhou Xing at first!"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly and said, "That's right...but now I'm asking Mr. questions."
Gongsun smiled slightly when he heard this, and said: "Why don't you doubt Zhou Xing? In fact, the answer is very simple, because sir, don't you always think that the eyes are the windows of the human soul? Through people's eyes, we can often see them heart."
"Not bad." Chen Yutian nodded.
"The reason why I didn't doubt Zhou Xing was because I saw his sincerity in his eyes, so I believed what he said."
Gongsun said with a smile.
Chen Yutian smiled, very happily, because Gongsun's idea was almost the same as his, but he thought more about it.
"Although this sentence sounds reasonable, in fact, sometimes, people's eyes can also lie."
Chen Yutian seemed to be talking to himself and spoke in a deep voice.
Gongsun's expression froze slightly when he heard this.
Of course he understood the meaning of Chen Yutian's words.
"Yeah... Fortunately, Zhou Xing doesn't have such ability yet!" Gongsun seemed to be regretful and sighed slightly,
Chen Yutian laughed again.
As Gongsun said, he was indeed suspicious of Zhou Xing at first.
Because the feeling Zhou Xing gave him was too calm. Ordinary people would often show a look of fear or awe when they saw someone from the government like them, but Zhou Xing had none of this.
From beginning to end, he answered everyone's questions in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant.
It seems that in his eyes, everyone is equal.
Of course, Chen Yutian had previously suspected that it was the owner of the hotel opposite.
However, when Zhou Xing said that the man had only bought the tavern in the past few days and had never met their uncle and nephew, he gave up the idea.
Because no one would do that kind of thing to a person they have never met and have no grievances against!
However, although he suspected Zhou Xing, he could not find any evidence. There was no evidence left either on the head or at the scene.
This made Chen Yutian start to hesitate.
Because if there are no traces around the scene or on the head, it can only mean that the person who hung the head did not hang the head on the bamboo pole from the ground, but from the roof.
But Zhou Xing obviously doesn't know martial arts, and it's impossible for him to jump on the roof and do so many things in such a short period of time.
So he gave up the idea again.
At this moment, Gongsun said the words "return the gift".
"Are you sure that head is the missing head of the Headless Case?"
On the side, Xuan Xi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gongsun.
Gongsun shook his head slightly.
"Not sure!"
"Although, the fracture of the head is extremely smooth, and the position of the knife edge is smooth. It should have been scratched by an extremely sharp weapon. Only the sword in the hands of a warrior can make such a wound, and the kitchen knives and hatchets at ordinary people's homes can It is absolutely impossible for the first type to cause such wounds. Therefore, I can judge that the owner of the human head should have been decapitated with a knife, which is exactly the same as the headless corpse we encountered before. "
"Furthermore, I have said before that judging from the spots on the head and face, the deceased had been dead for at least two days, and the head of the person who died within these two days could not be found. I think we should be the only ones who found it. Those few."
"Beheaded by a sharp knife, plus the body was found two days ago. Under these dual conditions, there are very few that meet the requirements... But there will inevitably be coincidences, so I am not completely sure!"
Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
Indeed, as Gongsun said, although there are indeed very few people who meet these two conditions, coincidences may not happen.
Although the probability of this coincidence happening is extremely small, it is very likely to happen, so it cannot be taken lightly.
This is also the most important thing for people handling cases to remember.
Xuan Xi also nodded slightly, "Although there is a coincidence, it doesn't mean that there is a high possibility that this head is the missing head of the headless corpse..."
"Not bad." Gongsun nodded.
Xuan Xi also nodded, showing a thoughtful expression.
Bai Fan followed behind with Tianying, with the same look on his face.
He was still thinking about the salesman he had just seen in the crowd who seemed to be doing well.
For some reason, even though he only had a brief glance with that person, he always cared about him.
And the person's appearance before, now that I think about it, is even more suspicious.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Tianying glanced at him slightly and couldn't help but ask.
Bai Fan raised his gaze slightly and glanced at Tianying, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing..."
"Oh." Tianying nodded, but there was a hint of concern in his eyes.
When Bai Fan saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "What? Don't you still trust your young master?"
Tianying said quickly: "No, it's not...it's just that you have been frowning since you left Zhouji Restaurant. I don't know what you are worried about. If possible, you might as well tell me and let me, Tianying, take care of your worries."
Hearing this, Bai Fan smiled even brighter.
"You are too worried. I have nothing to worry about, I just overthink it... It's okay now."
After saying that, he stepped forward and followed the people in front of him.
Tianying looked at his back suspiciously, and after a moment, he caught up with him.
"Sir, wait for me..."
…
…
Ling Xiaowu stood in front of a lonely alley with a solemn expression.
Not long ago, he received another mysterious anonymous letter, which only contained the address here.
After seeing the contents of the letter, Ling Xiaowu immediately understood what it meant.
After discussing with Liu Huangcui and others, they decided to divide their troops into two groups. Ling Xiaowu was alone in the light, while in the dark, four masters followed him in secret. A group of five people headed towards the address written in the letter.
And Ling Xiaowu, who had just arrived here, smelled an extremely pungent smell of blood.
The smell of blood is still very fresh. It must have just appeared not long ago.
The strong smell of blood made Ling Xiaowu frown deeply.
He could already foresee the scene in the alley.
The same goes for the four people following in the dark. Especially Ye Xiaohan, who was extremely sensitive to the smell of blood, frowned even more.
"I knew this person had bad intentions, and he actually wanted to make us a target of suspicion by the government!"
Liu Huangcui frowned slightly, and a cold light flashed in her eyes.
The four masters beside him also looked slightly gloomy.
The previous incident had already made them extremely angry, but they didn't expect that the other party would actually repeat his old tricks.
However, the conspirator never imagined that the officials handling the case were far smarter than he expected.
Thinking of the last time Chen Yutian deduced in a few words that Ling Xiaowu was not the real murderer, the four of them all had their thoughts.
"Sister Xiaoxiao, you should go to Jiulong Mansion to report the crime immediately." Liu Huangcui glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao and said.
"give it to me!"
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, then disappeared in a flash.
Immediately, Liu Huangcui, Ye Xiaohan and Jian Xinghan walked out of the darkness and came to Ling Xiaowu.
Ling Xiaowu looked at the three of them solemnly and asked, "Did you smell it?"
The three nodded.
Liu Huangcui added: "Don't worry, I have asked Sister Xiaoxiao to go to Jiulong Mansion. Brother Chen and the others will definitely be here soon."
Ling Xiaowu nodded slightly.
"Then what should we do now? If we keep standing here, it will be more troublesome to explain if others see us." Jian Xinghan looked around. Although it was very desolate, there would still be one or two passers-by occasionally.
"Senior is absolutely right. We'd better go in and take a look first, but we must not destroy the crime scene." Ling Xiaowu pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
The other three looked at each other and nodded.
So the four of them walked into the alley and followed the pungent smell of blood.
After walking for a while, they stopped.
What lay before us was a dilapidated and desolate scene.
The gray brick wall is covered with sword marks and dotted with bright red blood stains, which makes people's pupils shrink at a glance.
The expressions of Ling Xiaowu and others were slightly condensed.
They knew that they were not far from their destination, and the smell of blood in the air was becoming more and more pungent.
After taking a few steps forward, the four of them suddenly stopped in their tracks!
The pupils in his eyes suddenly shrank to the size of a pinhead!
He saw a headless corpse lying on the ground in front of them in a pool of blood. The death was extremely miserable!
Ling Xiaowu's expression became more solemn, and then he squatted down and looked at the wrist of the deceased's right arm.
"As expected..."
Ling Xiaowu and others shook their heads involuntarily.
As expected, the hideous scar left by erasing the tattoo appeared on the deceased's right wrist.
The deceased in front of him was indeed one of the snake heads of the Nine Snakes Society.
…
…
Yu Xiaoxiao flew all the way and soon arrived at the gate of Jiulong Mansion.
"Please tell the master of your palace that a new headless corpse was found in an alley in the west of the city." Yu Xiaoxiao came to the door of Jiulong Mansion and said to the policeman guarding the door.
The detective shook his head slightly and said, "Girl, I'm really sorry. The palace master and the others left in a hurry early in the morning. Why don't you wait here for a while, maybe they will come back later."
Hearing this, Yu Xiaoxiao's eyes suddenly dimmed, and then she spoke softly.
"I see... That's really troublesome for you. I'll just wait here for a while."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a voice suddenly coming from behind her, saying, "Isn't this Miss Yu? Why are you here?"
When Yu Xiaoxiao heard this, she looked back and saw Chen Yutian and his party slowly walking towards here.
Seeing this scene, a flash of extremely bright light suddenly flashed in her eyes, and she quickly came to Chen Yutian.
"Brother Chen, we received another anonymous letter and found a new body there!" She said as soon as she came in front of everyone.
Chen Yutian was stunned for a moment, but when he heard the words "anonymous letter" and "corpse" in Yu Xiaoxiao's mouth, his expression suddenly changed and asked: "Miss Yu, what did you say? Can you say it again? .”
On the side, Gongsun and others also frowned slightly.
They also heard what Yu Xiaoxiao said just now. Although they didn't know what the anonymous letter meant, they were extremely sensitive to the word "corpse".
"Can you tell me in detail?" Gongsun asked again.
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, and then told everyone in detail how she received the anonymous letter and smelled the blood.
After hearing this, the expressions of everyone in Jiulong Mansion became extremely solemn.
"Miss Yu, where is that place? Take us there quickly!"
Chen Yutian said almost without thinking.
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded and was about to lead everyone there.
"Please wait here for a moment."
But Gongsun waved his hand slightly and handed the thing in his hand to the policeman guarding the door. Then he came to the crowd again, smiled slightly and said: "Okay... let's set off now."
Everyone nodded and left with Yu Xiaoxiao.
The little detective standing at the door, holding the things delivered by Gongsun in his hand, looked at the backs of everyone leaving, his eyes full of envy.
"I wonder when I will be able to run between crime scenes like them?"
The little catcher's expression was full of longing, and he didn't slowly come back to his senses until everyone's backs disappeared at the end of the long street.
Then he tilted his head and looked at the thing in his hand.
At this moment, the white cloth covering it suddenly fell down, and what was under the white cloth was immediately revealed in front of the little catcher.
"Mom..."
The little catcher screamed and almost threw the things in his hands.
Obviously, the thing under the white cloth was the head Gongsun brought back from the scene.
…
…
Looking at the hideous scar on the deceased's right wrist, Chen Yutian and Xuan Xi sighed at the same time.
Unexpectedly, new dead people appeared so soon.
Gongsun frowned slightly, and then looked at Han Tong who was following him. Han Tong nodded knowingly, and then took out paper and pen from the back of the wooden box he was carrying, preparing to record the corpse.
However, just after she had everything ready, she found that her master was staring blankly at the wall not far ahead, with an extremely excited look slowly emerging in his eyes!
Han Tong felt curious and followed Gongsun's gaze!
On top of the stone wall made of gray and white stone bricks, there seemed to be... a snake-shaped mark outlined with lime.
"What is this?" Han Tong looked at Gongsun curiously.
Although this mark is indeed very concerning, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a child's doodles.
"The painting is too ugly, not as good-looking as Lin Tao's painting."
The girl thought in her heart.
But at this moment, Gongsun's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said, "This is it!"
