Chapter 159(1/2)
The jackdaw whimpered, and the remaining branches danced wildly.
On the top of the head of a stone lion who had not been wiped for a long time, two lanterns hit the pillars and beams one after another, and the copper rings on the door handles were also reconciled, and the door was heard in the wind.
Ghost knocks on the door.
Somehow, these three words suddenly appeared in Pei Jingzhe's mind. The cold wind whistled by, and the lantern in his hand shook violently for a few times.
The candlelight is extinguished.
Pei Jingzhe:...
The desolate night is in the middle of the night and the ghosts are enough to form a sensational story.
What's more, he's in it now.
Yandang Villa suddenly died, and even Yizhuang could not put them down, so they could only temporarily place the bodies in the yard, with more than fifty pieces arranged neatly, in several rows, head to head and feet to feet, with pale complexion, dry blood solidified into pieces of dark brown on their bodies, and some even died with their eyes open.
Pei Jingzhe asked himself that he had seen many dead people and had lives in his hands. He was already very knowledgeable, but when he saw the scene in front of him, he still felt a sense of fear slowly seeping up from the bottom of his heart.
He couldn't help but take a step forward, leaned closer to Fengxiao's back, and turned his head to look at Cui Bu.
The latter had already squatted down and reached out to touch the body. The one who was touched the most severely damaged one - half of the neck was gone, and flesh was turned from the wound to both sides. One of the eyes fell out, but there were still some muscles behind it, so it was half hung on the face.
But Cui Bugu's face did not change his expression, and gently put his eyes back into the other party's eye socket.
Pei Jingzhe:...
He really wants to kneel down for Cui Bu!
Look at Fengxiao again—
It is naturally impossible for the second Lord Feng to do it himself. He was covering his face with his cuffs. Even wherever his shoes went, he deliberately avoided the blood on the ground. He also pointed at a certain corpse from afar, allowing Qin Miaoyu to work.
"Unlock that person's top, I want to see if there is any wound on his upper body. Yes, untie it all, untie the belt, look at the Dantian and the perineum acupoints together!"
Qin Miaoyu, who was as beautiful as a flower, had to sweat heavily and squirm and smear, which made Pei Jingzhe feel a little sympathy.
Feng Xiao suddenly turned his head to look at him.
Pei Jingzhe blinked and quickly trotted over to help.
After entering Luoyang City, they went to Luoyang government to show their identity without stopping, but refused the warm hospitality of the county magistrate. In the end, they only ordered two arrests and coroners who had participated in the case before to investigate the scene.
The cold wind roared through the gaps in the doors and windows, making a whimper, and even the clothes on the body shaking, supporting the cold weather. The body did not rot so quickly, but was hard to freeze, and the sideburns and eyelids were frosted, as if they would turn into zombies and stand up in the next moment.
Cui Buqu's hand brushed across an old man who was dying with his eyes closed, and the other party's eyelids were brushed.
But after a moment, he slowly opened it again. Cui Buluo brushed it again, opened it again, opened it again, opened it again.
Everyone:...
Feng Xiao twitched the corner of his mouth and couldn't help saying, "Okay, take a break, stop busy."
"This is an injustice!" The old coroner sighed tremblingly, "It's a sin. Although the villain has tested his corpse for a lifetime, he has never seen such a tragedy. The whole family has been wiped out, and the other party has not even let the servants go. It's really horrifying!"
Yandang Villa is famous in Luoyang. Lin Yong is the only son of the owner of the manor Lin Leng. The old couple has only one son. Lin Yong has never gotten a family and has no concubines. After he was detained in Zuoyue Bureau, Lin Leng and his wife ran around to plead for their son, but in the end they had to return without success. The family martial arts of the Lin family in Luoyang were very mediocre, but Lin Leng made friends in the world because of business and was called versatile. Such a person could almost never have any enemies who would never die. Even if there was one, it was a quarrel in the business world. It was difficult to rise to the disaster of death, let alone destroying the whole family.
The only variable lies in Lin Yong.
Of course, it is also possible that Lin Yong's father, Lord Lin, had done something shameful behind his back or had mastered something important, and was killed and silenced.
But the owner of the Manor Lin is dead now, and Lin Yong is in Zuoyue Bureau. They cannot catch the person immediately and ask for it, so they can only find out the cause of these people's death and the murderer who killed them.
Pei Jingzhe asked: "Are all the people in Yandang Villa here? No one is missing?"
There were fifty-four corpses in total, including Lin Leng and his wife and the villa servants. One of them was a villa servant played by the spy sent by Jie Jian Mansion to follow, and the other was a person from Zuo Yueji.
Without exception, the entire army was wiped out.
Pei Jingzhe walked to the corpse of the secret agent of Jiejian Mansion and found that in addition to fatal injuries, the two men also had scratches on their bodies.
These scratches are very deep, and it can be seen that they tried their best to scrape off a layer of skin. It can be seen how little room was left when they were taking action. It doesn’t count if they killed people, and they had to torture them to death. How deep is this hatred.
Pei Jingzhe pinched the hand of one of the spies and saw the dark and sticky inside the cracks of his fingernails, and one of the fingers was still stuck to the flesh that was being picked from the other party. In front of him, the terrifying scene of these two colleagues hysterically scratching and biting each other before his death.
"It's all here!" the young arrested officer replied, "Yesterday morning, the villain was on duty at the yamen and happened to meet someone who came to report to the official, saying that a murder case occurred in Yandang Villa. The villain hurriedly reported to Shangguan and rushed over..."
Pei Jingzhe interrupted him: "So, the case was the first to discover? Who was the one who reported to the official? Did you detain it?"
The inspector Song hurriedly said, "Yes, the official surname is Zheng. He was originally a delivery person to Yandang Villa. He has been delivering vegetables for more than 20 years. Everyone nearby knows them! According to the rules, Lao Zheng would go to the back door of the villa every day at Mao hour and give the newly picked vegetables to the kitchen. However, when he passed by yesterday, he knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered, so he pushed the door open and went in."
According to Lao Zheng, the weather was cold and the wind was strong, so he did not smell the strong smell of blood. After pushing the door and entering, he did not see anyone for a while, so he continued to walk in until three corpses were found. His legs began to tremble and tremble, and he did not dare to shout for help, for fear that the murderer was still inside, so he quickly rolled out and went out without saying a word to report to the county government.
Although Yandang Villa is located in a remote place, it is still in the city and has not left the city gate. When the county magistrate heard that it is of great importance, he quickly asked the inspector Song to take everyone in the yamen. As a result, he saw corpses everywhere, not only those three corpses, but all the people in the entire villa were killed. Even the owner and his wife died outside their dormitory.
After the arrester said that, the old coroner began to add. He was the second group of people who passed by, that is, after the arrester found that the person died, he asked someone to go back and ask Shangguan for instructions and find the coroner.
After an experiment, the coroner found that these people had been dead for at least two hours. The owner of the manor Lin Leng was carrying martial arts. Although his family's "Yan Dang Thirteen Styles" cannot be said to be famous in the world, it is definitely not something that ordinary thieves can deal with, not to mention that there are at least a dozen guards in the villa.
"This is Master Lin." Captain Song pointed to one of the middle-aged men and said, "When we found him, Mrs. Lin and the two maids were dead, and they were hit by the swords in their chests, all of which were caused by the swords in the hands of Master Lin. Master Lin stabbed himself with a sword, and he was still breathing a sigh of relief."
At that time, the arrest officer Song rushed over and questioned the murderer. Lin Leng seemed to have not seen him, his eyes wide open, his face twisted, and he stared straight into the void ahead, and he was even laughing.
"Laugh?" Pei Jingzhe said suspiciously.
The arrest officer Song nodded, feeling scared: "I laughed so hard that I didn't say anything about the murderer. He kept saying it over and over again and again, saying it was so beautiful, he muttered it several times, and then he died."
"Can it be a personal name, Hao Mei?" Pei Jingzhe looked at Bingxian, "Miss Bingxian, is there this person at the little sword test?"
Bingxian thought for a while: "I haven't heard of it."
Cui Bulu said: "If it was the murderer's name, then Lin Leng shouldn't be laughing. He was confused at the time and should have seen hallucinations that ordinary people had not seen, so it was so beautiful."
Feng Xiao suddenly said: "There is a problem. Even if the martial arts magic sound in the Demon Sect is in control of so many people at once, it is impossible for a master with deep internal strength to do so. Even such a master cannot guarantee that he can make everyone fall into the trap. The controlled person is of different weight. People with martial arts are more likely to break free and escape. To ensure that all these people are controlled, in addition to internal force controlling the sound, there must be other external force assistance."
Pei Jingzhe couldn't understand for a moment and looked confused.
Cui Buqu suddenly realized: "Food!"
The people in the entire villa, together with the spies they secretly investigated in the villa, all of their daily meals came from the kitchen. In other words, the only thing that everyone from the owner to the servants had to come into contact with was food.
Qin Miaoyu also understood, and she rushed to the kitchen immediately.
Feng Xiao walked to Cui Bugui and slammed him with his elbow: "How many people have Zuo Yue Bureau inserted here?"
Choi didn't go and glance at him: "Two."
Feng Xiao: "There are two in Jie Jian Mansion."
There was only one Jie Jian Mansion and one Zuo Yue Bureau's corpse, which means two people were missing.
These two people may have found something wrong early and escaped, or they may have gone to chase the murderer. No matter what, they have not shown up yet, so there will definitely be more and more dangers.
Feng Xiao said to the arrester Song: "You go and ask if the people who were closest to Yandang Villa heard any movement during the crime last night, and also ask the updater."
He also ordered Pei Jingzhe: "Go and make a basin of clear water."
Pei Jingzhe went away in confusion, and Qin Miaoyu happened to come back with a strange look.
"Master, Mr. Cui, there is nothing in the kitchen."
The meaning of nothing is that not only does there be no leftovers, no excess ingredients, but also no firewood for burning firewood.
This is very abnormal for a wealthy family.
The case ended here and was in a lot of fog. The murderer's purpose was unknown, his methods were cruel, and he even had no trace.
When it comes to confusing the mind with sound, the Dharma Mirror Sect is not among the Demon Sect. As the sect leader, Feng Xiao is very skilled in this way, but he has no clue.
Pei Jingzhe brought the clear water.
Feng Xiao signaled Cui Bulu to clean his hands. He still remembered the scene when Cui Bulu just put his eyes back.
Cui Bugu knew that he remembered the fact that he had touched the body before and deliberately touched his face to disgust him. He was afraid that he would use the same trick again, and he smiled slightly in his heart, but he still put his hand into the water to wash it clean.
Pei Jingzhe saw the two of them being frown and didn't understand why, so he went to see Qin Miaoyu, hoping that the other party would give him some tips.
Qin Miaoyu looked around, but he just didn't look at him.
The old coroner had basically finished the problem with the body, and he couldn't see anything anymore. Bingxian was walking around the villa, and Fengxiao didn't stop her.
Although Yandang Villa is named after the villa, it is actually just a large mansion near the mountain in Luoyang City. With Bingxian's footsteps, it soon walked from the front yard to the back yard and came outside the house where Lin Ling and his wife lived.
The door was open, and there were blood everywhere, and she didn't care. She walked through the mess and walked around inside and outside the house and found a bowl.
To be precise, it is placed on the inner room and a half-eat lotus seed lily soup.
Qin Miaoyu couldn't find anything in the kitchen, but there was a bowl of soup here, which shows that Mrs. Lin was probably drinking the soup at that time, and something happened before the soup was finished.
Bingxian picked up the bowl of soup and sniffed it, but found nothing suspicious.
There is a fragrance in the house, unlike incense.
"It's Xiangnan." Cui Buqu also came over and happened to see her smelling on the wall pillar. "The wood here is made of Xiangnan, so the smell is strong."
Bingxian said in confusion: "As far as I know, Luoyang does not seem to produce fragrant nanmu."
Cui Buqu: "That's right, so these woods should all be shipped from the southwest."
Bingxian sighed: "The Lin family is indeed rich!"
Otherwise, it would not be enough to become the treasury of the 13th floor of Yunhai in the north.
Qin Miaoyu, who came over, saw the two of them having a good time talking, looked at Pei Jingzhe who was wandering around the yard without any notice.
To be continued...
