i must be in hell

"The result is out."

Ji Yuqiu came out of the box with a tired expression on his face. After taking off his mask, he looked at Ning Xiao. "I have to say, you are really..."

What is it?

He didn't continue talking, because Ning Xiao had already put on a mask and gloves, opened the door and entered the box.

The box was dark, all the lights were turned off, and the only light source, the door, was also tightly closed, and the glass of the door was covered with clothes, so that no light could penetrate.However, in such a dark world, there is something faintly glowing.

On the walls, floors, sofas, and even on the ceiling and chandeliers above the head, these shining blue-green spots covered most of the box.Densely dotted with tiny fluorescent dots, like pairs of eyes of lonely beasts in the dark, staring closely at the person coming, making silent complaints.

Ning Xiao was surrounded by these fine blue-green "eyes", and looked closely at them.He carefully scanned every fluorescent point, unwilling to miss any detail.The "eyes" left by these dead souls are telling him what happened that day, recreating every detail and every move of the scene in front of him.

- Rebuild the scene.

Ji Yuqiu carefully covered the entire box with luminol, a substance that has a special reaction to heme.This thing that can reappear the bloodstains that have been scrubbed away is the culprit of the green "small eyes" that are filling the room at this moment.

Every dot that shone with faint blue fluorescence was the blood splashed from Su Li's body!How dense and widespread they are, it proves how cruel the murder was at that time.

"It's right here." Ning Xiao stood at the position of the white line, facing the wall and said, "She was cut open in the carotid artery, the blood splashed two meters away, onto the ceiling and the wall, and the murderer..." Ning Xiao He signaled Xu Shangyu to come over and stand in front of him.

"The murderer was right in front of her at the time, so when the blood splashed out, some of it was blocked by the murderer's body. Therefore, there was a part of the bloodstain on the wall blank." Ning Xiao walked to the wall opposite to where he was standing. In front of him, he stroked that large piece of blue-green fluorescent spot, and the focus of his attention was on the piece that was suddenly vacant in the dense bloodstain.

That blank space was formed by being blocked by the murderer's figure.The blood did not splash on the wall, but on the murderer.And this detail became the perfect evidence to find the murderer at this time.

"The height is about 1.8 meters, and the body is strong." Ning Xiao estimated the shape of the blank space, and said, "It's left-handed."

Xu Shangyu asked: "Please explain, height and body shape, you can judge by the traces of splashes, I understand. But left-handed..."

He originally thought that Ning Xiao would roll his eyes impatiently when he asked such a question, but this time Ning Xiao actually explained it patiently.

"Look here, look carefully at the end of the blood spots, they are all slightly tilted to the left." Ning Xiao motioned Xu Shangyu to observe carefully. "When the artery is cut, enough pressure will be generated in an instant to splash the blood. The direction and trajectory of the blood drop can prove the location of the victim at that time. It can be determined from this that Su Li was on the right hand side. Stand facing this wall, and the murderer is standing facing her, come here."

Ning Xiao pulled Xu Shangyu's right hand and placed it on his carotid artery. "Just imagine, what would happen if you cut my artery at this time?"

Xu Shangyu pressed the skin of Ning Xiao's neck, tried to exert force, imagining the scene of blood splashing.

"I understand." He closed his eyes and opened them again, and said, "If the murderer who stood facing Su Li cut her throat with his right hand, then the splashed blood would not be covered by his right arm. Block it. And on the wall..." Xu Shangyu looked at the blood-splattered position that almost corresponded to where he was pinching Ning Xiao's neck. "There is a blank space there, obviously in the shape of an arm, so the murderer used his left hand. With his left hand and such power to cut open the artery, he must be left-handed."

"So we can determine the range of men who are 1.8 meters tall, healthy, and good at using their left hands." Ning Xiao concluded. "Are these clues enough for you to profile a preliminary list of suspects?"

"Enough." Xu Shangyu raised the corner of his mouth and smiled. "Combined with the fingerprints on the dagger, maybe our suspects can be further narrowed down."

"Then, there is one more question, where did Su Li's body go?" Ning Xiao looked around at the fluorescent spots all over the room, those little "eyes" were still looking at him. "Who on earth hid her, and why?"

Seeing Ning Xiao's almost pale face, Xu Shangyu also fell silent.

"Hey." There was a knock on the door.

"Let me remind you two, this is not a suitable place for a tryst, and staying any longer will not be good for your health." Ji Yuqiu teased: "If you want a date, you should change the place."

Ning Xiao and Xu Shangyu looked at each other, and after a few minutes, they took pictures to get enough evidence before they walked out of the box.

"How's the situation?" Ji Yuqiu asked.

Xu Shangyu talked to him roughly, and Ji Yuqiu looked at Ning Xiao with a bit more surprise. "I didn't expect you to know so much about these things, why don't you consider forensic medicine?"

"Don't dare." Ning Xiao said, "It's just because of the need of work, and I just know the surface."

"It's all superficial knowledge..." Ji Yuqiu laughed.

"Section Chief! Section Chief, it's bad!"

Several people were chatting, and someone hurried up from downstairs.Ning Xiao looked over and saw that it was an unfamiliar face, and the section chief he called was Ji Yuqiu?

"This is my intern." Ji Yuqiu explained to him, then turned around and scolded the poor intern forensic doctor. "Pig head! How many times have I told you, don't call me section chief outside."

"Yes, Section Chief... No, yes, Boss!" The intern known as the pig head flinched.

"You're still as courageous as a mouse." Ji Yuqiu snorted impatiently. "What's going on, such a fuss?"

"Well, Chen Qiong is back, and he's going upstairs. Brother Zhao and Brother Lu are stopping him below, and it's almost impossible to stop him, so let me come up and notify you."

"Chen Qiong is back?" Ning Xiao asked.

Thinking about it, it took half an hour to send Inspector Liu off, and the two of them dawdled and polite, and it was almost the same.

"Is there any trouble?" Ji Yuqiu frowned and looked back at the two of them.

"No." Xu Shangyu smiled and said, "He came just in time."

While talking, I saw Chen Qiong walking over there with a sullen face, and behind him, Zhao Yun and Lu Fei followed.Zhao and Lu tried their best to make faces at their captain, but Xu Shangyu acted as if he hadn't seen it, and waited leisurely for Chen Qiong to walk in front of him.

"What are you still doing here?" Chen Qiong's face was ugly, looking at the few people blocking the door of the box.

"To tell you good news. No, maybe it's bad news for you." Xu Shangyu looked at Chen Qiong with a harmless smile. "I regret to inform you, Manager Chen, that your guild hall may be closed for a period of time."

Chen Qiong's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at him in surprise.

Xu Shangyu continued to smile and said the most important sentence.

"Until we find the murderer who killed Su Li, please prohibit everyone here from going out. Because each of them may be the murderer."

Chen Qiong's face became paler and paler with his words, and finally, like a piece of snow-white white paper, his face became pale.

……

"Hahaha! I feel happy just thinking about Chen Qiong's face." Lu Fei sat and slapped his thigh fiercely. "Looks like the mouse saw the cat, hell! Haha!"

"Keep your voice down." Zhao Yun reminded him. "We are still in other people's territory."

After informing Chen Qiong that the police decided to open a case for investigation into Su Li's death, Chen Qiong's expression as if the sky had passed was vividly remembered by everyone present.Now, a few of them occupy a VIP room in the guild hall, waiting for the follow-up staff to rush over.

"We discovered the scene of the first murder where Su Li died, plus so many ironclad evidence." Xu Shangyu said, "This time Liu Liqian couldn't hide it even if he wanted to." He raised the corner of his mouth happily. "I look forward to his expression at the moment, it must be wonderful."

When Lu Fei and Zhao Yun saw the captain's smile, they both shuddered, and they hid in the corner and whispered.

"I'll just say he's a guy who's going to get revenge."

"That's right. At that time, Forensic Doctor Ji told me that the captain actually bowed and apologized to Liu Datou. I knew there must be ghosts in it."

"There must be follow-up revenge."

"...Thinking about it this way, Liu Datou seems a little pitiful."

"Really?" Xu Shangyu walked behind them at some point and patted their backs. "Since he is so pitiful, do you want to accompany him?"

"Captain, spare me!"

"I am loyal to you, and the sky can learn from it!"

Xu Shangyu patted Lu Fei's face with a smile. "Very good, keep it up."

He walked back to Ning Xiao, and found that the great hero seemed to have remained silent since entering the room, just playing Go on the sidelines.

"You found the blood, so that the case can continue to progress, why are you still unhappy?"

Ning Xiao looked up at him.

"not me."

"what?"

"I didn't find the blood, it was Yang Yun." Ning Xiao said: "My mind was in a mess at the time, and I just wanted to find a place to clear my mind. However, when I lay on the place where Yang Yun fell, I found shadows."

The position of the black spot is very special, and it doesn't look like ordinary dirt.It is very difficult to leave such a trace in the narrow gap between the chandeliers.At that time, the first thing that came to Ning Xiao's mind was blood.

Only when the blood is splashed out, it can penetrate everywhere and penetrate into the narrow crevices of any object, which is difficult for human beings.

"All visible bloodstains at the scene have been cleaned. I don't know how long Yang Yun stayed in that box. Did she touch every corner and observe every detail before she discovered the only thing that was missed? Bleeding." Ning Xiao supported his chin with his hand. "Then, in order for the police to continue to investigate this room, she chose..."

"Suicide there, let the police intervene in the investigation." Xu Shangyu said: "Using her own death to uncover a murder that was covered up, her courage is admirable."

"Yes." Ning Xiao said, "If this courage is not used by others."

Xu Shangyu frowned, then thought of someone.

"You mean... Heye?"

Ning Xiao nodded.

"This is not a simple struggle between the murderer and the police, Xu Shangyu. There is also a third party in this situation." Ning Xiao's voice was a little low. "He manipulated the puzzle, playing with life and death, just to let me join the investigation and break the mystery he arranged. And we—"

He raised his hand, and on the chessboard, the black pieces had surrounded the white pieces.

"They are all his pawns."
