Well of Mystery

The small square box was opened, and inside the box was covered with a layer of fine white sand, filled with clear water two or three centimeters deep.Between the sand and the water, there are a few black-red solids as thin as cicada's wings suspended, a bit like agate, and a bit like the pickled melon slices in Jiang Chenglu's bowl this morning.

"This is scraped from the ten-thousand-year fragrant wood. The body of the fragrant wood is hidden in the head of the Wei family, but it is a national treasure among national treasures."

Tridacna continued to explain dutifully: "Do you know that there is a famous fragrance in Japan called 'Lanshedai'? It was also passed down from China, and it was originally the same tree as this one. It's just that it stays in China. Better phase, higher fat content, and slightly heavier."

Bai Xiuqi has indeed heard of Lanshedai, which is the so-called "No. [-] incense in the world" collected in the Shosoin of Todaiji Temple in Japan as a Japanese national treasure.But as someone who doesn't know how to do it, at a glance, it looks like a whole newly unearthed Jinhua ham.

Wei Xiangtu carefully took out a little precious spice, cut it and added it to the silver mortar.

Jiang Chenglu asked Bai Xiuqi again: "Do you know how agarwood gives off its fragrance?"

"...I heard that it is the aromatic substance secreted by the wounds of trees after they are gnawed by insects and ants." Bai Xiuqi is not sure about this statement: "After the wood fibers gradually decay, what remains is oily aromatic substances."

"Then do you know which insects and ants are the best for the quality of fragrant wood?"

"..."

How could Bai Xiuqi know so much, so he randomly guessed a termite, but of course Jiang Chenglu proudly denied it.

"Actually, it's not a worm, but a lightning strike. The fragrant wood that survived being struck by the lightning that crosses the catastrophe is of the highest quality. There are also those that are devoured by wandering ghosts in the forest..."

"Shh."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Chuan pulled his arm to signal him to keep silent.

Over there, Wei Xiangtu had already stirred the precious spices evenly, and the ash was light brown, and then he stood up again holding the silver mortar.

"Okay, you guys wait here, you can't talk during the voyeurism, I will come out in a while."

Everyone nodded, and Tao Chuan got up and followed Wei Xiangtu a few steps, guarding the door of the inner room.

After being quiet for about two or three minutes, Bai Xiuqi suddenly smelled an ethereal fragrance slowly drifting out from the direction of the inner room.

This, is that famous scent? !

He was a little concerned about the corpse in the spice, but he was really curious. After struggling for a few seconds, he persuaded himself to take a deep breath, and a sweet but calm smell rushed into his nostrils.

This feeling... It's hard to describe, Bai Xiuqi felt as if a flower had bloomed in his mind.

Unknowingly, he changed his sitting posture and leaned back on the chair in a relaxed manner, with his head raised to the sky and his eyes closed.Some hazy and trivial pictures flashed in front of my eyes, but I couldn't tell what the content was, like watching a movie with an unknown theme in a dream.

Thinking that he was unwell, Jiang Chenglu shook his shoulders.Only then did Bai Xiuqi break away from his imagination in a trance, and responded with a chuckle from Jiang Chenglu.

During this period, the inner room was always quiet.

Tao Chuan stood guard at the door without any expression on his face.Just when Bai Xiuqi began to suspect that time had stagnated, there was a sudden movement in the inner room.

It was the sound of something falling and breaking.

Reacting faster than the others, Tao Chuan turned around and rushed into the inner room.Following Jiang Chenglu and Tridacna also rushed over.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?!"

Because of inconvenient legs and feet, Bai Xiuqi could only follow slowly with a cane. When he finally reached the door, he saw Wei Xiangtu kneeling on the ground, already being embraced by Tao Chuan.

On the ground, water and incense ash were scattered all over the place.A table placed in front of Wei Xiangtu was also overturned, and a corner of the huge porcelain plate on the table was missing, and water and incense ash were scattered all over the floor.

"It's okay, he's just mentally overdrawn."

Tao Chuan picked up Wei Xiangtu horizontally and took him to the outdoor table tennis table to breathe.About a minute later, Wei Xiangtu finally woke up leisurely, and the first sentence was "I saw it".

He saw the clip of Zhou Yiliang and Wang Ti's death.

Fragrant Voyeurism is a secret technique for short-term soul communication with the dead through burning and inhaling special spices mixed with corpse samples.For thousands of years, it has been passed down secretly by the Wei family who make and blend fragrances.However, the reason why it is called a "secret technique" is not only because there are very few people who can successfully complete the voyeurism, but also the process of voyeurism requires certain risks.

When the synaesthesia starts, the part of the memory that does not belong to him flows into the brain, which can easily cause the mild mental disorder of the perfumer, and it takes a certain period of rest and buffer to recover.

And only experienced voyeurs can and dare to perform the art of voyeurism on two corpses at the same time.Wei Xiangtu was originally capable of this ability, but the horse stumbled, perhaps no one except himself knew what happened to Xiangpi.

Fortunately, he still saw some valuable clips.

Wang Ti's death was basically the same as Bai Xiuqi described, quietly and quickly.There is only one detail - the knife used to kill Wang Ti was hidden under the bridge hole in advance.Zhou Yiliang obviously planned it long ago, and even planned in advance to get Wang Ti to go under the bridge.

In this way, Zhou Yiliang may also know that there are cameras installed on the bridge.He chose to commit the crime here because he hoped that the scene of him killing Wang Ti would be revealed to the world.

"So... Maybe Zhou Yiliang didn't intend to kill you from the beginning." Jiang Chenglu supported Bai Xiuqi's arm: "It's a good thing you have a dragon soul, otherwise you would have died in vain."

Compared with Wang Tizhi's simple and brutal death, Zhou Yiliang's suicide was much more complicated.

In fact, it was precisely because the amount of information was too chaotic that Wei Xiangtu couldn't bear it, thus interrupting Xiangdu.

"His memory seems to be broken up by someone, it's fragmented, and it's hard to piece together without the cause and effect." The elegant and gentle Xiangyu Shi sighed: "Maybe it's because the body was seriously damaged, I'm sorry."

Wei Xiangtu said that he entered Sky Tower from Zhou Yiliang's perspective, wandered around the building, and walked into an office where he could see the green platform on the 40th floor of Jinyang Building.After that, Zhou Yiliang lost part of his memory, and when he reappeared, he was already standing on the highest point of the building.

The wind on the top floor is very strong, and there seems to be a helicopter approaching in the distance.Zhou Yiliang stood on the edge of the roof and looked down. On the ground, the tide-like crowd watching the excitement was densely packed like ants.

He seemed to want to jump a few times, but stopped abruptly, and finally changed direction suddenly and ran to the other side of the roof.

Wei Xiangtu did not witness Zhou Yiliang committing suicide by jumping off the building.Although Xiangyu masters can peek into the antecedents of death, they cannot experience the process of death, which will bring them great mental trauma.And that was all the information he could provide.

"You've done a good job and that's enough."

Tao Chuan patted his partner's back and comforted him: "In the next month, I will refuse any request for you to have a voyeur again."

Wei Xiangtu didn't say anything, just nodded and closed his eyes to rest.The few remaining people looked at each other in blank dismay, and began to analyze the clues hidden in Xiangpi.

Undoubtedly, the office Zhou Yiliang entered before his death was a very important clue.

The police had conducted an investigation before, and neither Zhou Yiliang nor Yizhong.com under him had rented space in the Skytree.Therefore, before committing suicide by jumping off the building, although he appeared in many places in the building, they were all public spaces—only this office was an exception.

"And this office was not captured by the surveillance camera." Tao Chuan was very sure.

Previously, because they were worried that Zhou Yiliang would plant explosives in the Skytree, the police began to check the monitors of the entire building after controlling the central monitoring room on the fifth floor, but this mysterious office was not in the monitor footage.

what happened?

The answer is actually very simple - the person who rented this office has probably requested or paid a price to cancel the monitoring of the office and surrounding corridors on the grounds of a request of some kind of privacy.

But even so, the specific location of the office is not difficult to investigate.Wei Xiangtu said just now that he could see the 40th floor of Jinyang Building from the window of his office, and the range suddenly narrowed.

Anyway, let's start with this.

Tao Chuan sent Wei Xiangtu back to the room, and then rushed to the police station with the result of Xiangpei.On the opposite side, Le Yaochun came back from school to take over the night customer service work of the Taobao shop, and brought some fruit by the way.Tridacna smelled the aroma from afar and stuck to it.

After the show ended, Bai Xiuqi and Jiang Chenglu were left looking at each other.

Seeing Bai Xiuqi standing hard on crutches, Jiang Chenglu snatched it up again, and lifted her to sit on the table tennis table.

"How about it, Xiangpi is very eye-opening, isn't it?"

"It's not surprising." Bai Xiuqi pretended to have seen the world: "Help me down, I'm going to take a bath."

"That's right, the water is about to stop again." Jiang Chenglu nodded, but with his hands behind his back, he didn't have any intention of coming over to help.

The standard ping-pong table is 76 centimeters high, but the table under Bai Xiuqi's buttocks was actually remodeled from an open-air laundry table back then, and its height greatly exceeded the standard.

In normal times, Bai Xiuqi jumped off the table directly, of course there is no problem at all, but now it is a bit difficult for him not only to ensure that his feet will not be injured, but also to move his body to land smoothly.

However, Bai Xiuqi is another person who has no patience for life other than painting.He quickly decided to gamble on his balance on landing on one foot.

At the same time that Bai Xiuqi slid down, Jiang Chenglu quickly reached out to catch him, and turned around on the spot holding him.

Caught off guard, Bai Xiuqi was so frightened that she quickly wrapped her hands around Jiang Chenglu's neck - of course, this also fell into Jiang Chenglu's arms.

"Let's go!"

Holding the man in his arms, Jiang Chenglu strode towards the bathhouse.
