Chapter 5: The Bloody Female Corpse at the Bottom of the Well

In the morning of early spring, birds and birds are always indispensable.

Qin Huai came out of the house and stretched greatly.Today is her day off in rotation, she has already made up her mind to go to Juxian Tower to order a few dishes that suit her taste, to reward her stomach, and then go to Baihuayuan to listen to a few tunes to purify her soul.

What a day it will be.

Qin Huai fetched a bucket of water from the well, and went to wash his face. The cold well water made people tremble and wake up immediately.

Qin Huai wiped his face carefully with a towel, and then went to wipe his hands.

Qin Huai's movements slowed down, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.Then he looked around like a thief, and after confirming that he was stupid and only God knows you and me, he patted his face hard, put down the bucket, put away the towel, and trotted to the school grounds for morning exercises.

The school grounds were almost empty at this hour.The officers on duty had already gone to patrol the streets, and the officers on rest were probably sleeping at home with their wives in their arms. Who would be willing to wake up so early like her.

Qin Huai ran around the empty school grounds for a few laps, and then punched again, then took down a knife from the weapon rack, ready to practice the knife skills.

Just after making a gesture, Qin Huai heard Zhao Hengchao's little follower, San Yazi, shouting at him from the sidelines of the school: "Chief Qin, Brother Chao let you go over there!"

Heck.

Kaifeng House.

classroom.

This is where the heads of the teams deal with things.Right now, Zhao Hengchao, the head of the fast class, and Feng Tian, ​​the catcher, are sitting here.And Qin Huai, who made these two people wait here early in the morning, is now unsteadily pushing the door open.

"Brother Chao, today is my day off, what's so important that you have to call me?" Qin Huai sat down beside Zhao Hengchao.

Zhao Hengchao kept his usual expressionless face: "The Liu family's house on the outskirts of the city is usually vacant. This morning, I sent someone to clean it, and the water drawn from the well was all blood red. It may be that the Liu family's business rivals did it on purpose. , It may also be human life. You and Feng Butou go and have a look."

Feng Tian is in charge of all miscellaneous matters other than human life and theft, such as disputes, fights and the like.

Qin Huai sighed: "Can't you go?"

Zhao Hengchao raised his head to look outside the door: "Master Zhan will escort you to court, come back soon, you go together."

Qin Huai blinked: "Zhan Zhao is going too?"

Zhao Hengchao nodded: "Master Bao has ordered, in order to let Master Zhan get familiar with the affairs as soon as possible."

"That's good." Qin Huai narrowed his eyes with a smile. "The Liu family in the outskirts of the city, right? I remember that this business is very honest. The opponents in the business field are nothing more than Liu, Wang, Tian, ​​and Li. What kind of hatred is it to find such unclean things in other people's wells, it's too dark."

Feng Tian just said at this time: "So it may be a case of human life, call a few people who know water to go down to the bottom of the well to have a look."

Zhao Hengchao pointed to Qin Huai: "This kid is good at water, like a fish."

Qin Huai curled his lips: "You just feel sorry for your third child, so it's time for that kid to practice."

Zhao Hengchao nodded: "Then you go together."

So a group of people went to Liu's house on the outskirts of the city.

The willow house is not big, and there are many willow trees planted there.The only well where the accident happened was in the yard with the most willow trees.

It was the steward who reported the case.According to his account, this morning he asked the handyman Zheng Gou'er to bring up several buckets of water, but the smell of blood was very strong after the water came up. Zheng Gou'er saw that the water was not as clear as usual, but it looked more and more like blood. He was so frightened that he knocked over the bucket.After hearing Zheng Gou'er's words, he hurried to report to Master Liu, who ordered him to report to the officials and assist several officials.

Qin Huai walked around the well a few times, leaned in and sniffed it, and said, "There is a strong smell of blood." She turned her head and asked the steward beside her, "Didn't you notice it a few days ago?"

The steward bowed and replied: "This house has been empty for several years, the master just ordered it to be tidied up and lived in yesterday."

"Strange," Qin Huai touched his chin, "The house has been empty for several years, why did your master clean it up on a whim?"

The manager replied: "It's not a whim, it's my wife's natal family who came, and it's not convenient to live in the main house, so I plan to arrange to come here."

Qin Huai nodded, and continued to ask: "Then, does your master have any other houses where people can live?"

"Yes, yes," the steward nodded, "There is one building in the south of the city, and two in the west of the city, smaller."

Qin Huai asked, "It's also empty there?"

The person in charge wiped off his sweat: "Yes, yes, they are all vacant. They were originally inhabited, but they were vacant later."

Qin Huai still wanted to ask again, but San Yazi over there had already brought two sets of fish skin water and leaned over, and said to Qin Huai, "Boss Qin, should you do it first, or should I do it first."

"I'll come first." Qin Huai took the water support and put it on, turned around and smiled at Zhan Zhao, "You can tighten the rope, if there are water ghosts and monsters underneath, you have to quickly pull me up."

Zhan Zhao stretched the rope, frowned and said, "Isn't the water under here unclean, remember to pack it tightly so that you don't get sick."

"Got it." Qin Huai wrapped his hair up and put on a mask, revealing only his eyes, "Then I'm going down." His voice was muffled.

Zhan Zhao tightened the rope and said, "If there is a situation, pull the rope."

Qin Huai nodded, and supported Jing Yan'er to slide down slowly.After a while, there was a "plop" sound from below, presumably it was entering the water.

Zhan Zhao supported the mouth of the well and looked down, it was dark inside, and he wondered if Qin Huai could see anything.

About half a cup of tea, there was a "Hula" sound from the bottom, followed by Qin Huai's voice, I don't know if it was Zhan Zhao's illusion, the voice seemed to be trembling violently.

"Pull me up, hurry up."

Zhan Zhao quickly pulled the rope, Qin Huai quickly showed his head, Zhan Zhao dragged Qin Huai out repeatedly.Leaning against the water through his clothes, Zhan Zhao felt that Qin Huai's body was shaking violently, he lowered his head and asked anxiously, "Qin Huai, what's wrong?"

Panting heavily, Qin Huai waved his hands, his voice still trembling: "There are five corpses, they must have been dead for several days, and they are all women."

Feng Tian frowned and said, "Women? There seem to be several women lost in the outer city."

Qin Huai nodded: "Wait until the corpse is brought up and notify those families to come and identify the corpse."

"Chief Qin," the third child at the side saw that Qin Huai's face was as pale as a dead man, and volunteered to say, "You should rest first, I'll go down and fetch the corpse."

"Well," Qin Huai nodded, "be careful, the corpse might be a bit scary, get ready."

San Yazi nodded, took a deep breath, and went down the well.

This time, he didn't even have half a stick of incense, and suddenly San Yazi's screams came from below!

"Quick! Pull me up! Ah! Ah! Pull me up!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback, and hurriedly pulled the rope.

As soon as the third child came out, he collapsed on the ground, retching all the time, and howling: "That girl is smiling at me, ah, ghost!"

Qin Huai was speechless: "Didn't I make you ready, why are you so scared?"

Feng Tian and Zhan Zhao all looked at her like a ghost.

Qin Huai shrugged, spread his hands and said, "It's because he's too timid."

Later, the body was brought up by Qin Huai.

After Zhan Zhao saw the corpse, he completely disagreed with the statement that San Yazi was too timid. This is definitely Qin Huai's inhuman courage.

These female corpses were completely naked.But that's not the point.The point is that these female corpses have been soaked in some kind of medicine. Although they have shriveled, they have not rotted at all, which means they don't look like dead people at all.What's more, every corpse has wide eyes and a weird smile on its face.

According to Qin Huai, these corpses were divided into five parts underwater.Once you see the first body, step back and you'll come across the second.And because of the water waves, the corpse seems to be moving all the time, which can really scare people out of their wits.

No wonder San Yazi was so frightened.

Qin Huai changed the sink and soaked in medicinal soup for half an hour before he felt comfortable.

The body has been sent to Yizhuang for Lao Xu to examine. The family members have identified it before. They are several farmers in the outer city, and they were all lost when they went to the temple to burn incense a few months ago.

It seems that this is a serial murder case, and the murderer is extremely perverted.

It is night, and the night is as cool as water.

Zhan Zhao had already rested, when there was a slight noise outside the door.Zhan Zhao stood up, listened, and put on his clothes.

When the door opened, Zhan Zhao was startled, and Qin Huai sat alone on the stone steps facing the door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Qin Huai turned around.Seeing Zhan Zhao, she blushed and stood up quickly: "I'm sorry to wake you up."

"What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao asked with concern.

Qin Huai sniffed: "If I said that I was so scared by those corpses that I couldn't sleep, would it be embarrassing?"

Zhan Zhao laughed: "I heard that San Yazi shared a bed with him tonight." He paused, "Are you sleeping alone?"

"Well," Qin Huai said listlessly, "When I was assigned, there was just one single room left."

Zhan Zhao thought for a while, and opened the door: "Why don't we go together?"

"Ah?" Qin Huai raised his head, looked at Zhan Zhao, his face turned red, "Yes, yes?"

"There's nothing wrong with this, my brother." Zhan Zhao pulled Qin Huai, "Come in, after soaking in water for so long, and sit outside for another night, you will definitely be sick tomorrow." He stopped suddenly .

Qin Huai became nervous and looked at Zhan Zhao with round eyes.

"Why do you smell like vinegar, has it fallen into the vinegar vat?" Zhan Zhao asked with a smile as a cunning flashed in his eyes.

Qin Huai quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and replied: "I soaked my eyes with vinegar for a long time at Mr. Gongsun's. Mr. said that the water soaked the dead, and it is very dirty and easy to catch diseases."

Zhan Zhao nodded, and pulled Qin Huai into the room.

The room was neatly tidied up, the quilt was spread out on the bed, it was obvious that Zhan Zhao had already fallen asleep, and then woke himself up again.Qin Huai felt very sorry, she pulled Zhan Zhao back and said, "Don't bother, you sleep with you, I'll just lie down on the table overnight."

Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Do you have to let me sit with you all night?" He directly carried Qin Huai to the bedside, "I'm still investigating the case tomorrow, so go to bed early."

Qin Huai blushed again, took off his boots and shrank directly to the innermost side of the bed, and said softly, "Then I'm asleep?"

"Sleep with you." Zhan Zhao was annoyed, deeply feeling that Qin Huai's mother-in-law is really disturbing when she wakes up, isn't it just a night of sleep?What kind of politeness makes him feel as if he has something wrong in his heart.

Zhan Zhao also threw off the quilt and got on the bed, and Qin Huai shrank back in again.

Zhan Zhao sighed: "If you shrink any further, you will shrink into the wall."

"Oh." Qin Huai silently moved away.

Outside the window, a bright moon was peeking out from behind the clouds.
