How to work

Rousseau clasped his hands in front of his abdomen, lowered his brows, and carefully reviewed the whole case—wilderness beasts biting dead corpses, bloody corpses in incense houses, monks, pilgrims, autopsies, aconites, mountains of corpses, signs...

He regained his composure before slowly opening his mouth, "As mentioned in the preface, the murderer first poisoned the deceased to control the deceased. In the matter of poisoning, one must know the habits of the deceased and find gaps. The five of the deceased are good at martial arts, and they are newcomers. You must be vigilant and not credulous to others, the murderer can successfully poison, the level of care and patience can be seen."

"After the poisoning was successful, the murderer began to abuse the deceased. In the case of this temple, the murderer started from the person whose martial arts were the most poisoned, and covered the person to death with his hands or borrowed tools such as pillows. The sword, stretching the wound, inserting the manufacturing mark with a special tool that has been burned, and finally piercing the dagger again... This process was done in a leisurely manner, intentionally letting the deceased companions watch, perhaps explaining the purpose of doing so, I want to make the deceased companion sad."

"The five people were poisoned to varying degrees. Some wanted to call for help, some wanted to run away. The corpse by the window had its throat cut. They were killed with a single knife. The murderer's martial arts were obviously good."

"He chased the dead who wanted to escape to the wilderness, and appreciated that the dead attracted wild beasts to eat him. He was not worried about the undead in the incense house, nor was he worried about accidents in the wilderness. I have a thorough understanding, and I also have a certain understanding of the nature of these five people, and I think that even if they fail, it is also a personal enmity, and these people will not confess him..."

Lu Li walked back and forth a few steps, frowning slightly, "The murderer's attack was steady and ruthless, not in a hurry, he should have enjoyed the whole killing process. He knows why these five people came here. This purpose is obscure, shady, and evil. , so he can kill them, he's enforcing his moral standards and doesn't think he's doing anything wrong."

"And those bones..."

Lu Li closed his eyes, "Today I found [-] sets of complete bones, and some scattered remains, some with high cheekbones, tall, some with slightly flat faces, and very short, the dead were located in a very wide range of regions, from the north to the south. There is no evidence to prove that they are locals. They are all middle-aged men with many injuries. Brother Zhao said that they are very likely to be martial arts..."

Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu, and Zhao Zhu answered very naturally, "Part of the corpse's index finger and middle finger knuckles are slightly longer, some of the leg bones are too wide, and some of the chest, back, and leg bones are too big, and the bones are broken and healed. , and more than once, according to Lu Li's verification, most of these fractures occurred when they were eleven or twelve years old, and the number has become less and less in recent years, which shows that they are not ordinary people, at least they are trained by people with ulterior motives A mercenary, a dead soldier, has been brutally tempered and has a skill."

"And according to the same sign, we know that they were killed by the same person," Rousseau took the conversation, and stepped forward, "On the outside of the mountain of corpses, some people have been dead for half a year, and some have been dead for several months. The two bodies dug from the depths of the well had been dead for at least 20 to [-] years, or even longer. The fatal wounds on these people showed a pattern in the time period: At the beginning, the scars were concentrated in many places, as if they were trembling slightly, and they were more hesitant. Then it was decisive and accurate.”

He looked around the whole room, with a solemn expression and burning eyes, "The murderer we are looking for must have lived nearby, or been here since birth. He knows why these people come here from all over the world, and thinks this purpose is shameless, he Obliged to kill these people, he is just and deserved."

"He is bold, careful, and considerate. He gives the impression of being harmless, longing for justice, and hating evil. His personality may be a little introverted, and he likes to be alone, but he will definitely be able to do what he should do. My lord, we This is the kind of person I'm looking for."

County magistrate Huang listened with piercing eyes, nodded following Lu Li's words, and walked down the direction, "This man... is in the temple!"

"Your Excellency said so." Lu Li smiled, "There is only one Ciguang Temple nearby, which is quite far from the county seat, and the villages and farmhouses are not on the mountain. It is close to Corpse Mountain and Wutoudi, and there is no other place except Ciguang Temple."

"If you want to kill so many people without interruption, the murderer needs to be here for a long time. No matter how often the people outside the temple come, there is not enough time for the murder."

After a long passage, Shen Wansha understood, "That is to say, the master and servant of Young Master Meng...isn't the murderer?"

Lu Li nodded, "The possibility is extremely small."

Wang Dexing gave Shen Wansha a sideways glance, "The murderer is obviously someone from the temple, how could it be Mr. Meng's master and servant, I know, the murderer must be that great monk named Jiefa!"

Shen Wansha rolled his eyes at him, "Oh, you know again, didn't you swear yesterday that the murderer must be Mr. Meng's master and servant, didn't you change it today? You have always looked down on Xiao Lizi, this time listening to his analysis What? If you have the ability to find the murderer yourself!"

Wang Dexing glanced at Lu Li quietly, and put on a show to Shen Wansha, "What do you know, to solve a case, you need to have a bold and suspicious spirit. Now that the evidence is sufficient, of course it is more accurate to find the murderer!"

He still wanted to suppress Lu Li, but this kid even dared to dissect his body, and he could still come to such a set of conclusions, he was indeed old enough to sell himself, but he was not stupid!Anyway, age and experience always surpass this kid, so autopsy is no match for him.Now that there is evidence, of course we must find out the murderer, and if his attitude changes, maybe this kid will want to learn from him, an experienced old man. In exchange, maybe he can steal some teachers, autopsy or something... sharp!

"It's just..." Lu Li's voice contained doubts, "There are a few things that are unclear here. One, why so many people came here, and what do they want? There was no special mark on the deceased. Why did the murderer let these two alone? Besides, after he killed the last person in Xiangyuan, he rested and recovered after a short rest. He should immediately start to deal with the corpse and clean up the scene. Why did he not move, causing the corpse to The exposure attracted the government?"

Shen Wansha nodded again and again, "That's right, the Fragrance Courtyard is okay, once the door is closed, you can't see it from the outside, and it will be fine if it's cleaned up in a few days, the corpse in the wilderness can't wait!"

Wang Dexing rolled his eyes at him, "It's really childish and ignorant. The corpses in the wilderness have attracted wolves. In winter, there is little food, and hungry wolves can chew even bones!"

"No." Zhao Zhu snorted coldly, "The dead man was poisonous, and the beasts were intelligent. If he tasted something wrong, he would not continue. The murderer should understand. There must be some unexpected event that interrupted his movements, preventing him from Effective follow-up measures."

"That's right...it should be so!" Lu Li looked at Zhao Zhu appreciatively, "That makes sense!"

Wang Dexing got stuck, stared at the two with his beard raised, and was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Shen Wansha laughed loudly, "Yes, Uncle Wang, wolves are much smarter than you!"

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became relaxed, and Wang Dexing and Shen Wansha bickered.

After a while, County Magistrate Huang sighed slightly, "You can continue to search for some unknown doubts. The evidence now provides a lot of information. This officer will check all the monks in the temple who are over 20 years old and ask for confessions. There should be results."

"The murderer has never made a mistake in committing crimes for many years. This failure must be unwilling. He must be paying attention to the progress of this case. He may be watching around us. My lord, please pay attention to safety." Lu Li also sighed, "I will continue to check. bones to find more clues."

"We've been tired all day, let's go back and rest first." County magistrate Huang looked deeply at Lu Li, his eyes seemed to be filled with complicated emotions, "I'm going to trouble you in this case."

Lu Li waved his hand and turned around to pack his tools. He was out of spirit and very tired.

Wang Dexing followed the county magistrate Huang, and Shen Wansha jumped out cleverly, "Little Lizi, I'll find some hot water for you to wash up with!"

Only Lu Li and Zhao Zhu were left in the room.

Zhao Zhu glanced at the five corpses covered with white cloth, took the soft cloth and helped Lu Li wipe the tools clean, put them into the thin iron box, "Go to rest first."

"Hmm..." Lu Li yawned, "I don't have time to cook and clean up now, let's talk about it when I wake up."

He blinked again and again, feeling a little blurred no matter what, looked at the oil lamp and sighed, "I won't do autopsies at night again, no matter how many lights I turn on, it won't be enough."

Zhao Zhu stood up holding the thin iron box, his voice was slightly cold, "You should remember."

"Is there any accident..." Lu Li walked out with a smile, "But don't worry, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't worry you any more."

"I'm not worried about you."

Lu Li paused, turned around in doubt, "Huh?"

"I'm not worried about you." Zhao Zhu's eyes were cold and his voice was arrogant, with a look of 'what a face, don't pretend to be affectionate'.

Lu Li tilted his head slightly, thinking of yesterday or the day before yesterday, didn't this person knock him out to prevent him from being too tired?Did he get it wrong?

Zhao Zhu said leisurely, "I lost my memory."

Lu Li blinked, "...so?"

"So before I remember everything, the first person related to me...can't die." He passed Lu Li and walked to the front, "I can't die from exhaustion, it's as simple as that."

Lu Li: ...

Anyway, he couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhu was thinking, so he simply didn't think about it.

When he walked out of the small morgue, there was a silver light flashing in the northwest corner, he looked over immediately, and found that he seemed to have misread it, but he became suspicious, returned to his yard, and immediately ran to Guan Jiexing's room forward, open the door—

Zhai Xing was the same as before, his hands and feet were tied to the chair, he was probably very energetic during the time of night work, he narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, and cast a flying eye at Lu Li, "You are here, beauty..."

Lu Li was a bit confused after a busy day, forgot the cheap attribute of picking up stars, and was stunned for a while.

Soon his arm was grabbed, his body took a few steps back involuntarily, and the door was slammed shut in front of him with a 'snap'.

He turned his head blankly, "Zhao... Zhu?"

Zhao Zhu looked at him with disgust, "No prospect!"

Lu Li was dumbfounded, "Huh?"

"What's so interesting about a thief!" It's worth your eyes!As weak as a chicken, who is neither male nor female, how can I be as mighty as this king!

Lu Li thinks it's better not to argue with Zhao Zhu about logic. This person's brain circuit has always been strange. Except when doing business, all other times he speaks without thinking. , let's go back to sleep."

Zhao Zhu frowned, turned around abruptly, and strode away.

Lu Li looked at his back, was he happy...or unhappy?Say he is happy, he didn't speak, and walked quickly, as if he didn't want to be with him for a moment; say he was unhappy, he didn't swear...

It's really hard to understand.

Lu Li yawned and went back to the room, washed up hastily, and went to bed.

It was already past noon after waking up this time, and Shen Wansha sent food very thoughtfully, and also sent a big news: At three o'clock, Wang Dexing pointed out that Jiefa was the murderer. After the confrontation between the two, the county magistrate Huang had no choice but to search In Fajie's room, aconitum was found.

"Aconitum again?" Lu Li paused, his eyes flickering slightly, "It's really strange, every time new evidence emerges and the case becomes clearer, Aconitum will appear in due course to point out the murderer..."

Shen Wansha held his chin and thought for a while, and he thought so, "Really, the murderer always appears just right."

Lu Li ate gracefully and unhurriedly. Shen Wansha thought for a while and asked, "Do you think Fa Jie is the murderer?"

"Fajie this person... has some secrets, which is quite suspicious."

Shen Wansha listened to Lu Li's speech with an ending sound, "—but?"

"But what is the truth, we need evidence to speak." After eating, Lu Li patted Shen Wansha's forehead with his Qu finger, "It won't be too late to make a judgment after Master Huang has collected the confessions from the temple."

Shen Wansha saw Lu Li patted his clothes and walked out, his eyes lit up, "Are you going to have a bone test? I'll go too!" He handed over the big clothes to Lu Li, "If you still boil the bones today, let I'm coming!"

Lu Li smiled, "As long as you are not afraid."

Maybe he was too tired yesterday, but just over an hour after today's bone test, Lu Li's back hurts and he can't hold on.

Shen Wansha didn't wait until Bogus was a little disappointed and wanted to show it, so he volunteered to make a good nourishing medicinal meal for Lu Li this time, and went out.

Lu Li frowned, thinking how about taking a rest today?

Just as he was hesitating, Zhao Zhu, who had been absent for a long time, appeared out of nowhere, "I'll take you to a place."
