Liu Zi'an's father was born as a grain merchant, and after he became rich, he wanted to be a vassal and elegant, and he got the identity of a student through a relationship, and he could be called a "foreign master" when he walked outside, this old man had a big belly, and he always had a smile on his kind face, and he seemed to have a good relationship with anyone.

Under his influence, several of his children were of such a character, sleek and proper, and not embarrassed at all.

The original owner is the one who is the least like him, but the son-in-law was born but does not have the style of the son-in-law, he lost his mother when he was young, and before a year later, Liu's father married the daughter of an official, and not long after the stepmother took office, she gave birth to two younger brothers and a younger sister in a row, and even the brother and sister who were on the head of Liu Zi, Their family is also prosperous.

Liu's mother is the daughter of the merchant Ren who married Liu's father when he was still poor, how many years have passed, the two families who were once side by side have opened up the gap, and the Ren family does not live in Beijing, in ancient times, the distance is far away, it may be that it is rare to meet again in this life, The Ren family and the Liu family, It is almost this kind of relationship.

Father Liu is still a bowl of water for a few children, If there is eccentricity, he loves the three children born to his stepmother even more, and he can also take a little importance of the lineage for the original owner, but whether it is Liu's father or stepmother, they all know that the original owner of this family property is not much to share.

At this point, the original owner also knows that he is studying hard and wants to advance through the imperial examination, and maybe he can walk out of a path that will not be restricted.

But compared to the help that his stepmother's family could give, what Liu's father could do was to send him to a college where most of the ordinary children gathered, and he would work hard by himself.

The original owner did a good job, but he was not sociable but still tried to mix into the circle of the same class, although there is not much possibility of going further, but there is a circle to protect him, and he will not be bullied by people outside the circle, which is also good.

In my memory, that's roughly it, and the original owner's wish is very simple, that is, he hopes to be an official and be majestic.

And in the plot... In the plot... Liu Zi'an frowns every time he sees this, the plot he usually comes into contact with is logical, just like a person kills someone, then he must have a motive to kill, but, this time the plot is not, he is like a layer apart, watching the plot turn in the sky, that feeling, it's quite bad.

In the plot, the original owner killed a younger brother born to his stepmother after returning home one day, using a very cruel killing method, just like the dismembered corpse on the street, he did it without scruples, and killed people directly in his room.

The murder weapon he used was a very sharp knife, but the length of the dagger, but cutting human flesh was like cutting paper, and there was no stumbling when he encountered bones, as far as Liu Zi'an knew, all the weapons now are still difficult to reach this level, even if an experienced butcher uses the sharpest knife, it takes a lot of effort to cut the bones repeatedly, and it is difficult to cut it in two, but the original owner can easily do it with a weak scholar, which is a little strange.

And what is even stranger is still to come, he did not deal with the scene, after the person died, he watched the person and blood disappear in front of him, and he only had a knife in his hand that was not stained with a drop of blood.

After that, the plot was a vague black fog, as if it was blocked by something, and what Liu Zi'an could clearly see again was the corpse of the original owner, appearing on a certain street, just like the corpse seen today.

This is not an easy case.

As all the people who saw the scene of the dismemberment thought of it, Liu Zi'an also made this conclusion for the first time, full of fantasy, suddenly about to kill, the sudden appearance of a sharp weapon that can split the bones, the sudden disappearance of the corpse and blood, and the sudden death, by the way, and the victim who has been in a coma who has been completely silent during the killing process, what kind of power does this do?

If it was just because of a certain person, then the dismemberment cases would not have appeared so frequently, and there have been five cases in just half a month, and people on the streets are already panicking.

If it is a certain gang, what kind of people can have such means and hearts?

What about the motivation?

Compared with those adults who are investigating the case, Liu Zi'an can be said to be the one closest to the truth, he knows part of the plot anyway, but this also adds to the difficulty of solving the case, those strange situations, as long as you don't see it with your own eyes, no matter who you say to it, no one will believe it.

In ancient times, when even fingerprint blood tests were not necessarily accurate, making such surreal cases was simply forcing the rhythm of ancient people to death!

Is this something that some big world people are doing?

They're not that boring.

Whether it is a human being or not, certain motives are always inevitable, and certain actions will only be driven by interests, and such a dismemberment case can probably only satisfy some perverted hobbies.

In Liu Zi'an's opinion, the people of the big world have mastered a higher level of power, and the heaven and earth they can see are farther, and they will not have superfluous thoughts about the world below, unless it is necessary.

So, how can you tell if this is necessary?

He doesn't know much about the people in the big world, and the only things he can get in touch with seem to be the edges, and he can't touch the real power at all, so he doesn't know what kind of benefits this matter can produce, and he can't make a more accurate judgment.

In this case, he can only abandon this possibility, and the possible analysis full of all kinds of uncertainties will be in vain in the end, he still has to be realistic, start from reality, and find a way to avoid this danger, he doesn't want to end up like the original owner, and die an unknown death.

"Second young master, shall we go home now?" Shui Qing followed Liu Zi'an out of the teahouse, he had already seen that the expressions of the young masters who had left were not very good, so he was a little worried, because he was waiting downstairs, and he didn't know what was being talked about upstairs, and he kept peeking at Liu Zi'an's expression as he walked.

He is five years older than Liu Zi'an, and his stature is also taller, and when he goes to see Liu Zi'an, he always has to lower his eyebrows and look very good.

The academy where Liu Zi'an studied is called Tai'an Academy, which is really a college for peace, most of the gentlemen are middle-aged, always playing the same old tune, and the students are mostly gentlemen, and there are few who really study, skipping class is commonplace, and the gentlemen don't care very much.

At this time, it should be when they are studying, and they can still have a tea party outside, also because they received the news of the appearance of a new corpse, and they came to see it.

"Back ... College. After hesitating for a moment, Liu Zi'an still said this, before the original owner went home to kill, he basically lived in the academy, if there was any way to get the knife, it could only be in the academy.

"Huh?" Shui Qing was surprised, and "oh" again, the young master really changed his habits today, didn't he go home directly in the past?

The accommodation conditions provided by Tai'an Academy are still good, two people in a courtyard, easy to make friends, he and Song Ruoshen are in the same courtyard, Song Ruoshen is good-looking, and his popularity is good, and he also took the initiative to greet the original owner, and brought the original owner to that circle.

The Song family is actually similar to the Liu family, at best, it is a generation that made a fortune early, even if it is not good in this generation, but the foundation is still there, the connections are still there, and waiting for Song Ruoshen's brother to come out, it can also be better.

The problem is that Song Ruoshen's brother is not very promising, and Song Ruoshen, the second son, is a little promising.

The contradictions are always similar in this way, which leads to the smart Song Ruoshen not liking to go home, just like a supernumerary member of the Song family, who can often be a companion with the original owner.

"You're back too?"

Song Ruoshen, who came back one step earlier, put a reclining chair in the courtyard, leaned there in a daze, and when he saw Liu Zi'an, his eyes were surprised, and he asked directly, "Why didn't you go home today?"

"I don't want to go back. Liu Zi'an's answer was simple and rude, some of the habits of the original owner, he followed or didn't follow the problem, the rebellious teenager may have been a good boy before the second middle school, no one will think that adolescence is a change of soul, and the brain hole is too big.

Song Ruoshen nodded, he didn't think much about it, he often had this kind of "don't want to go back" time, his head tilted back again, and he muttered: "I always feel like I'm in prison now." ”

In the past, there was no case of dismemberment, and they often wandered around the street to play, and that feeling of freedom and ease was naturally incomparable now.

"It's better than going to jail. Liu Zi'an said this, and asked Shui Qing to find a reclining chair, he also wanted to lie outside.

Song Ruoshen said enthusiastically: "Qingyu, you also go to help." ”

A bamboo recliner does not weigh much, but this attitude is really comforting, looking at the tall and Qing Yu, a little guy who doesn't match the name at all, and Shui Qing went to move the chair together, Liu Zi'an thanked him.

"What's polite, you're just too polite. "Song Ruoshen is not a bad person, except for being a little better, the others are better than them, and he can't make mistakes in his studies, he could have gone to a better college, but his mind is sensitive and he doesn't want to fight with his brother, so he shows some attitudes in these things.

The recliner was quickly moved, and after Liu Zi'an lay down, he beckoned Shui Qing to get some pastries, Song Ruoshen's plate was almost finished, and he didn't want to eat other people's food for nothing, and the Liu family was still relatively generous in these supplies.

Song Ruoshen was hungry at first glance, he didn't eat much at all just now, where could he stand it, now that he was away from the blood, his appetite came up, and he didn't bother to eat anything serious, so he took pastries to make do.

The two of them talked about the recent events while eating snacks, deliberately bypassing the topic of the dismemberment case, and said a few words that there was nothing to talk about, but people were really panicked recently, the college was about to face the suspension of classes, no one dared to come out every day, where was there anything to say, and gradually fell silent.
