Chapter 057: Sloppy Detective
When I was still hesitating, Tang Zi had already spoken.
"We're not here to collect rent, we're here to find a detective surnamed Liu. ”
Before Tang Zi's words fell, the door finally opened, revealing a smiling face inside.
"It's a customer!
The man who opened the door was not very old, and he looked like he was in his early 20s.
However, this guy is sloppy, his hair is messy like a bird's nest, and the clothes on his body seem to have not been washed for a long time, and they look dirty.
After following him into the house, I found a plaque hanging inside.
Liu's Detective Agency.
Looks like that's the place we're looking for.
Tang Zi and I originally wanted to find a place to sit, but after looking around, there were things piled up everywhere in this room, how could we have a place to sit.
Seeing the embarrassment of the two of us, the young man smiled a little embarrassedly.
"I'm sorry, I've taken a few cases recently, and I'm trying to solve the case by force, and the things are thrown in a mess, which makes you laugh.
By the way, you two, I don't know if you came here today to investigate the case, or if you want me to follow someone?"
This guy is quite direct, so I don't want to waste any more time with him.
I took out the photo of Tang Rulong I had taken before and handed it to this young man to see.
"It was the Seventh Master who introduced us, and he said that you know a case from 50 years ago, which is very similar to this one, so let's ask you. ”
After getting Tang Rulong's photo, the young man suddenly fell into deep thought.
"Could it be that the Red Dried Corpse case has reappeared?"
When he said the words of the Red Dried Corpse Case, Tang Zi and I immediately showed surprised expressions.
At this time, Tang Zi seemed to grasp a life-saving straw and kept asking the young man.
"Tell me quickly, what's going on with this red dried corpse case?"
Faced with Tang Zi's question, the young man was silent.
Suddenly, he said there patting his stomach.
"I'm sorry, I haven't eaten for three days, and my brain is not very bright.
I can't remember this red dried corpse case for a while.
You said it would be nice to have a big meal in front of me right now, and I promise I can think of anything!"
This guy is really enough, he hasn't done his work yet, and he actually wants to eat a big meal.
I wanted to say a few more words to him, but Tang Zi stopped me.
In her opinion, saving Tang Rulong as soon as possible is more important than anything else.
In desperation, we had no choice but to go out with the young man.
There are quite a few restaurants next to it, which are clean and cheap, and you can have a full meal.
When he arrived at the restaurant, the young man was really unkind.
He eats whatever is good, and eats whatever is expensive.
There were three of us, and he ordered more than 20 dishes, which was to come to eat the enemy.
After the dishes were served, this guy's eyes were shining.
He ate a meal of Hesse, and such a large table of dishes was actually eaten by him.
After eating and drinking, this guy still asks me to smoke, which is really comfortable.
I lit a cigarette for him, and he was slowly puffing on the smoke ring.
At the same time, he patted his belly again.
"It's good to be full, I seem to remember everything.
You really found the right person this time, in fact, this red dried corpse case was handled by my grandfather!"
The young man said that his name was Liu Xianhao, and his grandfather was called Liu Xilin.
Three generations of their family have run this Liu detective agency.
Don't look at the fact that their detective agency doesn't have much business now, but when his grandfather was alive, it was overcrowded.
At that time, his grandfather Liu Xilin was known as Detective Liu, and he wanted to find him to solve the case, but he had to wait in a long line.
Liu Xilin has solved countless cases in his life, but he has never solved one case, that is, the so-called red dried corpse case.
It was 50 years ago, and there was a place called Tuyao Village next to Wanghai.
The village was rich and the people lived a good life.
Among them, there is a family surnamed Gu, their family Ding Xingwang, not only runs a business, but also has a lot of land, and is considered the richest man in the local area.
All this was all good, but suddenly one day, a bad luck befell them.
It was the old man of the ancient family who celebrated his birthday, and many villagers went over to congratulate and give gifts.
When the feast was over, everyone went home to sleep.
However, on the morning of the second day, everyone got up and found that no one from the Gu family had appeared.
Everyone felt that the situation was not right, so they immediately went to Gujia to check again.
It's okay not to look at this, as soon as they entered the Gu family, they smelled an extremely bloody smell.
In the courtyard of the ancient family, there were 18 corpses lying densely.
It is said to be a corpse, but strictly speaking, it should be a dry corpse, and it is a red dried corpse.
Those corpses didn't know how long they had been placed, and the flesh and blood on their bodies had already dried and there was only one skin left.
And all the corpses turned red, looking unusually weird.
The sudden appearance of the corpse frightened everyone.
They immediately called the police, hoping that someone would investigate.
It happened that the person who investigated later was Liu Xianhao's grandfather Liu Xilin.
After his investigation, an even more striking conclusion emerged.
The 18 corpses of the Gu family are actually the 18 people of the Gu family!
At that time, this conclusion came out, but everyone was taken aback.
The day before, they were still alive and kicking, and they turned into red dried corpses in just one night, which no one could accept.
In fact, there is also Liu Xianhao's grandfather.
Over the years, he has handled countless cases and seen countless corpses.
But he had never seen such a thing as a dried corpse in a short period of time.
However, during the investigation, he found that there were a lot of porcelain fragments next to the corpses of the Gu family.
Those are red porcelain shards, with a special luster on them, and they look like they are of the highest quality.
Liu Xilin knew that the Gu family was very rich, and it was normal to collect some porcelain.
But the instincts of detectives for many years told him that the death of the Gu family might be related to these porcelain shards.
He took the porcelain shards and examined them everywhere, and finally concluded that they were not ordinary porcelain shards.
Among the porcelain shards, there are some elements of human ashes, and there are some remnants of human blood on the surface.
Although these investigations have been made, Liu Xilin is still at a loss.
Fortunately, at this time, a friend reminded him that since there is a human bone in this porcelain, it may be a rare evil art.
With this idea in mind, Liu Xilin immediately went deep into the area of western Hunan and eastern Yunnan to investigate.
He had been gone for half a year, and no one knew what he had found.
But when he returned, he did something that shocked everyone.
Liu Xilin, the former detective, actually quit the detective industry and is no longer investigating the case.
