The sound inside stopped suddenly. When Qin Bai walked in, he found that this room was probably the simplest in the inn, with only a bed and desk.
It is covered with a thick layer of dust, and it can be seen that no one has cleaned it all year round. In many places, you can see ghost-like charms pasted on it.
There is no other furniture in the room, and the rent required should be the lowest. This shows that the scholar who died here before lived in a tight financial situation.
Qin Bai looked around and found nothing strange, but when he turned his head, he immediately felt a chill coming to his face.
His eyelids suddenly jumped. At some point, a rope was hung from the beam, and a scholar in red clothes who committed suicide appeared in the center of the room.
Qin Bai's expression was a bit unbearable, mainly because this sudden shock would scare everyone at first glance, it was a horror movie.
The scholar's face is purple, his hair is messy and spread out, and the clothes on his body are more like bloody clothes dyed with blood than red clothes.
This is obviously a remnant soul. In fact, it has been a few years since the scholar in the guest room committed suicide. However, Qin Bai will have great luck as soon as he comes in, so he is a bit unprepared.
The requirement for achievement was to inquire about the scholar's cause of death, so he did not rush to physical salvation, but observed carefully.
During this period, he kept feeling someone whispering next to his ears, but other than that, there was nothing unusual.
Qin Bai inexplicably brought himself into the perspective of criminal investigation at such a crime scene. He first checked the doors and windows and determined that as long as they were locked, they could not be opened without making noise from the outside.
Then he turned his attention to the hanging scholar and found that his exposed skin was covered with wounds of various sizes.
He used a hammer to push the black hair away from his face, only to see a brush stuck in his eye socket, directly penetrated into his brain.
Qin Bai felt a little weird. Why did the corpse feel like it was committing suicide with a brush inserted into its eyes at the same time? Could it be that it had to be kept alive before death.
Without much hesitation, he reached out and pulled the brush out of his eye socket, and then he fell into a trance, and everything in the room no longer existed.
It seems that the remnant soul formed after the scholar's death has completely dissipated, but the achievement is still not unlocked.
The sun rises from the horizon, the rooster crows, and suddenly sunlight shines in from the outside.
Qin Bai looked at the palm of his hand. Although all the strange things in the room disappeared, the writing brush remained.
The brush is no different from an ordinary one, except that there are two gilded characters written on the brush.
"Lu Juan".
Qin Bai was stunned for a moment. When he saw the word "Lu Pan", he remembered a story in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", and "Lu Pan" refers to the underworld judge named Lu.
The story tells the story of a stupid scholar named Zhu Erdan who carried away the statue of Lu Pan because of a bet, and thus became friends with Lu Pan.
They often got together to drink. Lu Pan felt that Zhu Erdan had a blocked heart and lacked talent, so he chose a scholar's heart for him, and he won the first place.
But Zhu Erdan had no intention of pursuing an official career, so he asked the judge to change his wife's head to a beautiful one.
Without saying a word, Pan Lu found an opportunity and helped Zhu Erdan's wife get a beautiful head.
It turned out that the person who bore the head was Wu Shiyu's daughter, who was killed by a thief. Because of this incident, Zhu Erdan and his family became a son-in-law.
Although the story is full of Pu Songling's personal emotions, it is also full of weirdness.
At this moment, the fat owner of the inn seemed to hear something moving in the room and cautiously walked in.
He was also startled when he saw Qin Bai. His legs gave out and he fell to the ground. The main reason was that Qin Bai's appearance of holding the hammer was really scary.
Qin Bai stepped forward and pulled the fat boss up from the ground, then patted the dust off his body with his hand.
"I came just in time. Where is the body of the scholar who committed suicide in this room?"
The fat boss subconsciously looked up. Half of Qin Bai's face was covered by shadows, and he could only see a pair of round eyes. He said quickly.
"The scholar's body was taken away by the Yamen three years ago. The autopsy man sent someone to see it. He did commit suicide, but for some reason he was wearing red clothes."
"Is it possible that he appears to be a man, but is actually a cross-dressing boss?"
"this……"
Under Qin Bai's brainstorming, the fat boss didn't know what to say.
"Can I ask this scholar's name?"
The fat boss wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and just wanted to exit the room as soon as possible: "It seems that his name is Zhu Erdan. He planted Juren three years ago, but he went crazy the day after he was named on the gold list."
"Jourdan..."
Qin Bai pinched the bridge of his nose with a headache, and was caught off guard by how things unfolded.
The fat boss was so frightened that no one claimed Zhu Erdan's body after his death, and it was hastily buried later. He only thought that Qin Bai and the other party knew each other, and they would settle the score in the future.
"Strong man, this Zhuerdan has no enmity with the villain, and he is the grandpa of the people. How could I offend him?"
The fat boss burst into tears as he spoke. Qin Bai looked at the mixture of snot and tears in his nose and let go of his hand in disgust.
"What I don't know is that Mr. Zhu lived and ate for free in my inn. I never asked for a penny, but he still died in this room and his body was buried by me."
"Where to bury it? You won't just find a place to bury it, will you?" Qin Bai asked curiously. The scholar had such great resentment. If it wasn't for the body being in the way, he would have knelt down more than a dozen times in succession.
The fat boss was startled when he heard this, especially in this guest room. He had an inexplicable feeling that someone was secretly watching him.
"You wouldn't dare even if you gave me 10,000 yuan. Gusu City Government took over directly and buried Grandpa Zhu on the outskirts of the city."
"Isn't that just a mass grave? I can't think of anything like this without having cerebral thrombosis for ten years."
Qin Bai was speechless. He was a civil servant after all, so how could he be buried there?
The fat boss had a sad face. If he had known that such a big mess would happen, he would have paid for it out of his own pocket.
Qin Bai found that if he wanted to unlock the achievement [Inn Secret Room Murder Case - Part 1], it seemed that he could not do it without a trip to the suburban cemetery.
He opened the window in the room and let the sunlight from outside shine inside.
The talismans on the window were roughly torn apart by him, which made the fat boss feel a burst of pain. After all, they were obtained at a huge price.
"Don't worry, Zhu Erdan's wronged soul has been reincarnated. Even if you don't believe me, you still have to believe in the hammer in my hand."
The fat boss smiled sarcastically, but he didn't dare to say anything for fear that a hammer would be swung at him.
