This round trip is 20 kilometers, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and it took everyone a whole day.

When everyone returned to the hotel, it was time for dinner.

This dinner was a treat from the Indian Embassy in Nepal, and the place was at the hotel where Lin Shuo and his guests were staying.

Sanan was quite polite and ordered a table full of dishes.

The contents on this table are either green leaves, red peppers, and yellow lumps of curry food.

These things are stimulating to eat in the mouth, but when they fall into the stomach, they are actually not much calorie for Lin Shuo and Zhang Jin, it is nothing more than a taste of freshness.

After eating two bites, Lin Shuo felt that the taste was actually okay, but it was very spicy.

Jiangnan Lin, living in the Qiantang River area, there has been no tradition of eating spicy food since ancient times.

Compared with ordinary Jiangnan people, Lin Shuo can eat spicy, but he is not spicy.

He knows that if he eats this kind of spiciness, his mouth can stand it, but his stomach may not be able to stand it, and if he doesn't do it, he will have stomach trouble.

So after two bites, he put down his chopsticks.

Look at Wei Xingshan next to him, this man is snorting and eating while snoring, and his appetite looks good.

Lin Shuo shook his head and said softly, "When spring begins, you will be a doorman." The rules for people in the door to eat, I will popularize it for you. ”

When Wei Xingshan heard this, he quickly put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a wet tissue on the side: "You say." ”

"The vast majority of them are craftsmen. If the owner invites us, I will have food, and if we are not invited, I will have no food. Lin Shuo said, "So it doesn't matter if you eat, eat at home, eat how you like, but once you go out, you eat at the owner's house, you are particular." ”

"Hmm. Wei Xingshan responded.

At this time, at the dinner table, everyone was actually eating almost and chatting with each other.

Cao Yusheng was chatting with Sanan in English, listening to the meaning, reminding him about the autopsy.

As soon as Lin Shuo's chatterbox opened, A

E and Zhang Jin put their ears together, looking very curious.

Lin Shuo pointed to Zhang Jin: "The people over there in your family moved over from the Qilu area, Qilu is the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and your descendants of Saibeizhang eat outside, and they are more exquisite.

But I don't think my brother taught you much, did he?"

Zhang Jin nodded.

"I can't teach you the rules of Saibei. Lin Shuo shook his head and said, "What I'm talking about is the rules of our Jiangnan.

China is very large, and the geographical environment and humanistic traditions are different in different places, and these rules for going out are actually different.

We hunters eliminate harm for the people, and we don't pick others.

The wealthy invite us, we have to go, and the ordinary people invite us, we have to go.

We eat the first-class banquet, and we also gnaw on pickle gnocchi, which we can't pick.

If you go to the courtyard of the deep house, and the owner's family is rich, then it's okay, except for not drinking, nothing else.

On the contrary, it is the poor family, who invites us to eat, and we have to be particular.

There are two of them:

Meat, eat hot and not cold.

Fish, hot or cold.

Do you know why?"

"Afraid that the master's family will be poisoned?" Wei Xingshan asked, and then denied it himself, "This doesn't make sense, why do you poison the hunters to get rid of the harm." ”

A

E and Zhang Jin, you look at me, I look at you, they both shook their heads, indicating that they don't know.

"You, one by one, were born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze, but you don't know what life the common people lived in the past. Lin Shuo said, "Fish and meat are very common now, but in the past, most people couldn't afford to eat them, and they could open meat during the Chinese New Year all year round."

Invite our people to eat, and they can bring fish and meat, which is the courtesy of the host, and we can't take it seriously.

In fact, this plate of fish and meat is brought out and brought back by the host every day, and it takes more than a week to save face.

Since it is a face, it is necessary for this dish to be complete.

When a plate of meat is served, if it is hot, then you can move one or two chopsticks, because it is still a plate of meat, and you can't see it.

But if the meat is cold and the fat is all frozen, there will be traces if you pry it off with your chopsticks.

The same is true for fish, whether it is cold or hot, as long as you move the chopsticks, there will be traces.

If you do this, it will be out of order, and the neighborhood will spread very quickly.

This master is not a good person.

These things sound bullshit, but if you put it aside, you really have to pay attention to it.

Regardless of the size of our people, reputation is very important.

Otherwise, you won't be able to walk in all directions, and you won't be able to eat a hundred meals. ”

"Oops. Wei Xingshan was very emotional when he heard this, and then asked, "Then our people who hunt the door, won't we go out like this?"

"Of course, the six families are not enough, but if you are a hunter of a small family, you have to pay attention to this. Lin Shuo glanced at the future chief disciple, "You are considered lucky, you have caught up with the good time."

At present, the living standards of the common people have risen, and they will not be as worried about a little meat as before, but the reason is still the same.

When you're out of the house, you have to pay attention to your appearance. ”

Lin Shuo went around for a long time, and Wei Xingshan understood the last sentence.

Wei Xingshan wiped his face a little embarrassed: "Lao Lin, don't take you to turn around like this." ”

A

E and Zhang Jin also understood, and both of them began to laugh.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was very relaxed, but it was at the dinner table, and it was already tense.

"What?" Cao Yusheng's voice suddenly increased, and he said in English, "The victim's body is gone?"

When Lin Shuo and the others heard this, their attention was immediately pulled over.

I saw that Sanan's face was not very good-looking, and he did not deny Cao Yusheng's statement.

"It's broken. Cao Yusheng patted the table lightly, turned his head and said to Lin Shuo, "Boss, the autopsy can't be done." ”

"Why?" Lin Shuo asked.

"They just casually checked the cause of death, and they had already cremated the person. Cao Yusheng said.

"What about the more than twenty Brahmin victims?" Lin Shuo asked.

"There are more than 200 here, it is said that they are stacked and burned together, and it is estimated that there are still some bone residues left. Cao Yusheng sighed, "The twenty Brahmins, that are thick burials, burned one by one, and there is no scum left at the moment." ”

"It's pretty quick. Lin Shuo smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Cao Yusheng asked.

Lin Shuo said: "Since you can't wait for the autopsy, then don't wait, get ready, and enter the mountain early tomorrow morning." ”

"Good. ”

......

After dinner, Lin Shuo returned to the room early.

Cao Yusheng also hurriedly followed.

Lin Shuo knew that the mastermind of the hunting sect had something to say, so he took out a box of cigarettes from his backpack, and the two nephews and uncles lit one for each of them.

After smoking two puffs of after-dinner cigarettes, Cao Yusheng said: "Boss, something is wrong. ”

"Hmm. Lin Shuo said, "According to the normal process, the victim's body should be refrigerated and stored in the morgue, and the body will not be buried if the case is not closed."

To say that these "untouchable people", because of their low social status and the fact that they were slaughtered in the village, the police did not have the pressure of the victims' families, and it is understandable that they were cremated early.

It is obviously not normal for those twenty or so brahmins to be cremated so quickly. ”

"The water is muddy. Cao Yusheng said, "If someone is covering up something, it is definitely not the murderer." Because if the murderer wanted to cover it up, why would he have gone earlier, just like the Cao family, just set fire on the spot. And now this matter, it is obvious that someone is remedying it after the fact. ”

"Master Cao, I think we shouldn't be diverted. Lin Shuo said, "We can't control people's affairs for the time being, but it is easy to complicate things." The key is what exactly the murderer is, and this is very important. ”

"The leader has a point. Cao Yusheng said, "But on our hunting door's "Kyushu Foreign Objects", there are more than ten kinds of beasts that can suck human blood."

Even if the range is narrowed down a little more, there are still three kinds that can kill so many people in an instant.

These three things have different habits and specialties, and it would be too dangerous if we got the information wrong. ”

The two were chatting when there was a knock on the door and a gentle push open.

Lin Shuo turned his head and found that it was A

E came in, with a satellite phone in her hand.

"Lin Shuo, Yang Tuo's phone. ”

"This guy is really haunted. Lin Shuo shook his head, took the phone, and said loudly, "Academician Yang, what's wrong?"

"Lao Lin, your mood is very wrong. Yang Tuo on the other side of the phone said, "What, aren't you happy to receive my call?"

"I can't be happy. Lin Shuo said, "If you call, it's probably not good." Am I going to be a nuclear strike zone again?"

"Hmm, aren't you in the country?" Yang Tuo asked, "Where are you?"

"I'm doing business, Nepal. ”

"Oh, that's close. "You can rest assured that the Himalayas, which are tectonic plates between Eurasia and the Indian subcontinent, are geologically very unstable, and a nuclear strike is likely to trigger a major earthquake in our Sichuan-Tibet region." So whoever dares to drop a nuclear bomb there is equivalent to declaring war on our country, and generally no one thinks so. ”

"Oh, then I'll lend you good words. Lin Shuo asked, "What are you looking for me, and what do you mean by 'very close'?"

Yang Tuo said, "Twenty days ago, an international joint mountaineering team consisting of three Chinese, two Dutch, one Austrian and one American tried to reach the summit from the north face of Mount Everest.

But soon after, they lost contact.

We have sent three mountaineering teams to search for them, and just five days ago, one of them found their bodies.

The time of death was determined fifteen days ago.

The cause of death, the blood of the whole body is sucked dry.

Because it may involve strange creatures, and I have this qualification, so these seven corpses have been airlifted to me, and I will perform an autopsy on them soon.

Lin Shuo, I just want to ask, based on your experience, is there any danger in me for this kind of autopsy, and do I need any special protective measures?"

"You can't die. Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "Go ahead and do it." ”

"Then I'm relieved. Yang Tuo said, "It's hanging." ”

"You wait for me for a while!" Lin Shuo hurriedly stopped, "I also have two cases here, the cause of death is the same, the body here has been destroyed, your autopsy report, send me a copy." ”

Yang Tuo said, "Oops. I'm dealing with a strange creature case in my country, and it's estimated that what you're accepting is a commission from the International Biological Research Society, which is two different things. ”

"Yo, you're very capable, and you're starting to fight with me. Lin Shuo said, "Don't talk nonsense with me, will you help or not?"

Yang Tuo hesitated for a while and said, "Since it is a similar case, then I will apply for a transnational joint case?"

"Okay. ”

"Since it's a joint case. Yang Tuo said, "After the murderer is caught, will our Chinese Academy of Sciences account for the murderer's scientific research projects?"

"I've been pretending to be confused for a long time, waiting for me here. Lin Shuo understood, "Since the hooked snake project He Lao gave it to you, you have tasted the sweetness, and it has started endlessly, right?"

"China's biology education has been fruitful in recent years, and there are a large number of outstanding scientific researchers in need of projects. Yang Tuo said lightly, "And since he is serving the country, how can he be measured by his own selfish desires? If he says so, my Yang Tuo's appetite will never be satisfied." ”

"Our hunting door is China's hunting gate, and you will come to this kind of thing in the future, so you don't have to guard against me. Lin Shuo said, "You ask the senior management to talk to the International Biological Research Association, I don't care about the specifics, you have to give me the autopsy report as soon as possible." ”

"I'll give it to you early tomorrow morning. ”

"Okay. Lin Shuo hung up the phone.
