[Seven-Five Doujin] Zhan Guard, please stay!

There is nothing wrong with Mrs. Li's health, but she is happy.In this way, everyone in Bao Mansion breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were very happy. The whole Bao Mansion was shrouded in a joyous atmosphere.

Li Shi was pregnant, so he had to worry less. After talking with Bao Zheng, Huangfu Nan also went to chat with Li Shi for a while, and after coaxing Li Shi to his heart's content, Huangfu Nan went back to Kaifeng Mansion to investigate the case.

Gongsun Ce has already sent someone to call out all the families who had done funeral affairs a month ago. Everyone in Kaifeng Mansion gathered in the room where they usually discuss the case. Huangfu Nan frowned slightly as he looked at the few families, " I don’t think there is any suspicion of people from these families.”

Bao Zheng: "How to say?"

Huangfu Nan flipped through the information they obtained from their investigation, "This family's grandfather passed away, and the grandfather has been in bed for a long time. The family members are psychologically prepared. Even if they are sad, they will not be extremely hurt. The sickness rushed to the doctor, and the other families were in the same situation, and no one died unexpectedly."

When everyone heard the words, they were silent for a while.

Bao Zheng: "The perpetrator kills a child every seven days, and now it has been five days since the last child was killed." The implication is that if the investigation of this matter is not stepped up, there will be a sixth child soon. murdered toddler.

Zhan Zhao crossed his arms, leaned against the wall, and said, "If the perpetrator really took the hearts and minds of these young children as we guessed, it means that he wants to resurrect the dead. Resurrecting from the dead is such a shocking thing, he is naturally unwilling to say anything about it, but I think that even if the person dies, the perpetrator will only hide the body instead of holding a funeral."

In other words, it was not feasible for them to investigate the direction of the family that had handled the funeral at the beginning.

Bao Zheng pondered for a moment, "Let's sort out the current clues first."

Gongsun Ce nodded, and gave the general situation, "The parents of the young children did not have any grudges with others, and the family backgrounds are also different, so vendetta can basically be ruled out. So far there is no clue to determine the motive of the perpetrator. For the time being, it can only be speculated that the perpetrator killed a young child every seven days because he believed some folk rumors, believing that the dead person would drink the blood of the young child every seven days, so that for 49 consecutive days, he could be resurrected."

Zhan Zhao took Gongsun Ce's words, "If this is the case, based on the time when child No. Once the needle penetrates the child's left chest, it can penetrate the heart, and the child's blood will flow out from the hollow steel needle. This kind of murder weapon is very special, and it should be custom-made." After a little pause, he continued Says, "And it's not cheap."

Bao Zheng listened, nodded slightly, and then looked at Huangfu Nan, "Huangfu, what do you think?"

Huangfu Nan stood up, walked to the wall where many things were posted, and said softly: "I have some other discoveries."

Everyone looked at her.

Huangfu Nan looked at the map on the wall and said softly: "Although five young children have been killed, I always feel that the perpetrator did not intend to let them die."

Zhan Zhao: "How to say?"

Huangfu Nan stretched out his hand and pointed to several locations where the corpses were dumped, "Have you noticed that the locations where he dumped the corpses are not in remote places, on the contrary, these places are usually very lively with people coming and going. Even in the early morning, There are also people coming and going.”

Zhan Zhao looked at her pretty profile and said, "You also said that you think it might be caused by the perpetrator's habit of doing something."

After hearing this, everyone was at a loss.

Zhao Hu couldn't hold back, and asked, "Guard Zhan, what habit must we do?"

Zhan Zhao turned his head and smiled at Zhao Hu, "It's like the habit of having to shout before you draw your sword."

Zhao Hu: "..." He does have such a habit. Occasionally, when he is going to ambush others, he must be quiet in order to hide, and he feels uncomfortable after returning.

Seeing this, Huangfu Nan couldn't help laughing, "Each of us has some habits, and some people are more serious. If things are not done according to his usual habits, he will feel restless, and some people will even To redo things so that things can be carried out in the way he wants. I saw that the distance between the perpetrator's several corpse dumps is about the same, so I think he may have a habit of this."

To be precise, it should be a very serious obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.

Bao Zheng coughed lightly, and brought back the topic that was about to stray, "Even if the perpetrator has such a habit, how can you infer that he didn't intend to kill these young children?"

"All he wants is the heart and soul of these young children."

"I don't know if the wound next to it can survive, but if it is pierced from the left chest and the blood of the heart is taken, it will definitely die." Wang Chao said, "From this point of view, he does not want to take the blood of these young children. Life is not enough to be convincing."

"Gongsun said that the death time of each young child was not long when the body was found, and the No. 3 child was not even dead when he was discovered, but because it was a fatal injury, the doctor was unable to recover. There are no traces of abuse on these children, not even signs of struggle, which shows that the young children had great trust in the perpetrator before being injured. If the perpetrator's original intention was to take the lives of these young children , even if he has to have the same habit of keeping a distance on the corpse throwing route, then he can avoid these places where people come and go."

As Huangfu Nan said, he turned around with a rather complicated smile on his face, "Perhaps for the perpetrator, taking the heart and soul of these young children is his unavoidable choice, but he still hopes that these young children Children can be rescued by others, so he chose these places to abandon the injured children. I don’t think the perpetrators are throwing corpses.”

Zhan Zhao's black-like sword eyebrows slightly frowned, "You mean, these young children were not dead when they were thrown away?"

Huangfu Nan nodded, "Yes."

Zhao Hu clapped his hands together and said, "If that's the case, we can speculate where the next child will be thrown from according to the route the perpetrator left those children all the way."

At this time, Bao Zheng, who had been sitting on the main seat, stood up, with his hands behind his back, walked back and forth twice in the room, and said: "It is a bad idea to speculate on the place where the next child may be abandoned and wait for a rabbit." He paused, and looked back at the crowd, "I don't have a clue about this case. I suspected it might be related to cult sacrifices or something, but now I found out that there is a folk anecdote that persuades young children to be able to bring the dead back to life. , although baseless, there are coincidences."

Zhan Zhao: "My lord, what is the next step?"

Bao Zheng thought for a while, sighed, and said: "Although this matter sounds very absurd, I would rather believe it than believe it."

When everyone heard the words, they all looked at Bao Zheng.

Bao Zheng: "It's summer now, if you want to keep the dead body alive, you must have an extremely cold place to store the dead body."

Chao Chao frowned, "There are a lot of dignitaries in Kaifeng, and it's not uncommon for rich people to have ice cellars in their houses. Don't say that we can't search for them without evidence. Do all the households go in and search?"

Bao Zheng shook his head, "There's no need to search for it. If a living person disappeared out of thin air for more than a month, there will always be people talking about it. Zhang Long Zhao Hu, you will take some people to sit in a lively tea house in Kaifeng City later. See if you hear any bizarre rumors."

Zhang Long and Zhao Hu looked at each other, clasped their fists together, "This subordinate takes orders."

Gongsun Ce stepped forward and said, "My lord, I also heard that there is a sarcophagus made of thousand-year-old cold stone. Putting a human corpse inside can preserve the corpse forever."

Huangfu Nan was stunned: "The Millennium Cold Stone?"

Zhan Zhao explained: "I have also heard of this kind of cold stone. It is said that it is a stone dug out under the glacier in the bitterly cold place in the extreme north. It is frozen to the bone."

Huangfu Nan nodded suddenly, and asked, "Should this kind of stone be expensive?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, nodded and said, "I heard it's worth a thousand gold."

Huangfu Nan tilted his head, and looked at Zhan Zhao with those full eyes, "But who would buy a few such stones with such wealth?"

Zhan Zhao showed a smile, "You also said that this kind of behavior is rich and powerful. If someone buys it, they will naturally know it after a little inquiry."

Bao Zheng looked at the men and women who were asking and answering questions, and he simply left this task to them, "Since this is the case, the two of you are responsible for going to find out if anyone in Kaifeng has this thousand-year-old cold stone in their homes."

Zhan Zhao nodded, "This subordinate takes orders."

Huangfu Nan blinked, and looked at Bao Zheng with a pair of bright eyes, but Bao Zheng still looked serious, with a serious expression on his face.

Gongsun Ce also said very consciously at this time: "Since Huangfu said that the perpetrator did not intend to kill these young children, and now none of these children survived, the perpetrator may have some grievances against these families because of the condemnation of conscience." As an act of compensation, I organized people to visit these people's homes privately to see if they have gained some unexpected benefits recently."

Bao Zheng warned: "The people under the command are private visits, so don't say anything."

Gongsun Ce nodded, "Student understands."

Bao Zheng let out a long sigh, "What is the crime of a young child, yet he suffered such an innocent disaster for no reason, I hope my waiting this time is not in vain."

Huangfu Nan lowered his eyes, full of thoughts.

There are all kinds of beings, none of which can be controlled by a mere individual.
