Chapter 21: What a coincidence
In fact, before Yang Guang could speak, Mao Xiaotong had already stopped, looking at Xu Zi'an lying on the table like a big prawn, she also knew that she seemed to have used a little too much force just now.
Mao Xiaotong, who felt ashamed, didn't dare to look at Xu Zi'an, staring at the surroundings with innocent big eyes, and muttering something in his mouth.
"It's none of my business, it's his own begging. ”
Yang Guang, who was in a hurry, looked at Mao Xiaotong who was pouting on the side and looked like he had nothing to do with himself. He looked at the master on the table who looked like his life was in danger, and his fingers stretched out and pointed at the former tremblingly, but he didn't know what to say.
"You ......"
Regarding Yang Guang's accusation, Mao Xiaotong still did not completely ignore it after all, and she still briefly explained it when her eyes were squinted at 45 degrees.
"Don't worry, your Captain Xu is fine, he is just slowing his heart now, and after a while, the influence of my ability will completely dissipate, and he will be fine. ”
Yang Guang obviously couldn't fully believe Mao Xiaotong's words, he tried his best to lay his master flat on the floor, and then performed heart compressions on Xu Zi'an according to the standard first aid method.
But before Yang Guang could press it a few times, Xu Zi'an coughed violently, and then struggled to raise his hand and waved it twice.
"Master, are you alright??"
Yang Guang saw that Xu Zi'an had regained consciousness, and hurriedly supported his back and let him sit up.
Still didn't speak, Xu Zi'an lowered his head and closed his eyes for a long time to adjust, until finally he let out a long breath and returned to normal.
"Hey...... Yo...... It feels like you've been shut down from a ghost gate. But Comrade Xiao Mao, this is a bit different from me when my father died. ”
Seeing that Xu Zi'an still had the heart to tease himself, Mao Xiaotong knew that he was fine, so he took a sip of ginger syrup and suppressed the shock.
"Captain Xu, I was in a little wrong just now, since you're not satisfied, let's do it again, okay?
After Mao Xiaotong finished speaking, he put the soup bowl down, looking eager to try.
"No need. ”
Xu Zi'an's big head shook like a rattle, after that torture, it felt like losing half of his destiny, if he did it again, he might really be planted here.
"Comrade Xiao Xu, although your means are lacking, I already believe that my father's death may have been victimized. ”
Hearing Xu Zi'an's words, the corners of Wang Luo's mouth raised slightly, it seems that this help has been secured.
"In that case, Captain Xu is going to trouble you to investigate your father's bizarre death and my cousin's suicide with us in the next few days. ”
Xu Zi'an was not surprised by Wang Luo's request, these two people are talking to themselves so much here, if they don't have ideas about themselves, it would be a strange thing.
Regarding the case they talked about, Xu Zi'an was indeed moved. In this matter, whether it is public or private, I should help, but now is the time......
Looking at the other party's frowning brows, Wang Luo felt that something was wrong.
"What, what's the difficulty with Captain Xu?"
"Little brother, you see that your cousin and my father have been dead for nearly ten years, and there is no hurry to do this. What about the county, at about half past ten last night, an island man who came to do business died, this involves international issues, and I am the most direct person in charge of this case, so let's wait until this case is closed, right?"
"Half past ten last night? ”
Regarding the accidental death of the island national, Mao Xiaotong had already learned from Director Zheng this morning, but she was still slightly surprised when she heard this specific time of death.
"Hey, Wang Luo, the time you let your cousin go last night was also around half past ten, right?"
"About 10:40 to be exact. ”
Hearing such a coincidence, Wang Luo felt a little strange, he touched his chin and thought carefully about what happened last night.
"I saw my cousin last night at half past ten, but my cousin was only able to leave the place after putting on my shoes and socks, and about ten minutes had passed in between. ”
Su Zi'an had a square face and frowned, in his cognition, these were two completely unrelated things, but now......
"Xiao Yang, you show Comrade Xiao Mao the photos of the scene of the crime and the deceased in the bag, and then introduce the situation of the deceased. ”
According to the regulations, it is completely against the rules to show such important case materials to irrelevant people, but now this situation is not so much to care about.
Yang Guang knows the master's character very well, and knows that it is not very useful to say this kind of thing himself, and he may have to ask for a scolding. Now he has to hope that the latter matter will not be exposed, otherwise the punishment in the later bureau will be inevitable.
Instead of touching his bag immediately, Yang Guang struggled to help his master to the chair before he began to carry out the order.
"The deceased, Kenichiro Yanagi, male, 64 years old, from Osaka, island country, sales manager of Co., Ltd., came to us this time to negotiate a business with Hongli Company. The crime occurred in the Xinhua Hotel room where he was staying, and the cause of death was a fire. ”
"According to the hotel monitoring and waiter, the deceased returned to the room alone at 10 p.m. without any abnormality. At about 10:45, the hotel's fire alarm suddenly sounded, and thick black smoke came out of room 8088 where he lived, and the fire prevention device was operating normally, but the fire in the room was not effectively controlled. ”
Three minutes later, with the joint efforts of the security guards and the attendants, they broke down the door, extinguished the fire with foam fire extinguishers, and called 120 and 110. ”
"At 10:58 a.m., the victim was already dead when the ambulance arrived, and at 11 p.m., I arrived at the scene of the crime for a preliminary investigation. ”
"The cause of death of the deceased was preliminarily judged to be consistent with the later forensic judgment, which was that they all died of direct burning by the fire. The deceased at the scene of the crime had no obvious traces of struggle, no traces of binding, and according to the monitoring and waiter's explanation at the time of the crime, there was only one deceased in the room, and the room was locked. ”
"In addition, the room is a high-rise floor, which basically excludes the possibility of people entering and exiting through the window. Other information may have been omitted due to the fire extinguishing and the crime scene was severely damaged. ”
After a brief introduction to the case, Yang Guang closed the notebook slipperily, expressing his mood for the day with a solemn face. His master Xu Zi'an was also not easy, and the huge right hand kept rubbing on his forehead, showing the anxiety in his heart.
"There are two main suspicions in this case at present, one is that the crime scene is a secret room, and he was the only one when the victim died. Second, the cause of the victim's death was the burning of the fire, but strangely enough, there was no trace of struggle at the scene of the crime. Neither homicide nor suicide can explain these two strange phenomena. ”
"For so many years, this is the first time I have encountered this kind of case without the slightest clue, Comrade Xiaomao, I don't know if you can give some advice from your point of view?"
Hearing Xu Zi'an talking to himself, Mao Xiaotong pulled Wang Luo, who was looking at the photo next to him, with some disgust, and then said with some disbelief.
"This kind of scene in the photo is a bit like the caster being violently devoured. Unlike people who are usually burned to death, the victims are supposed to be burned from the inside out, and their internal organs should be burned like charcoal, and I can't be sure if that's the case if I look at the photos now. ”
"Is that true?"
As soon as Mao Xiaotong's words came out, it was like lighting a firecracker, Xu Zi'an, who was still sick just now, stood up suddenly, staring at her with burning eyes, his apprentice Yang Guang is simply a copy of him, changing his previous sad face, and now he is also looking at Mao Xiaotong with his eyes.
Suddenly being stared at like this by two big men, even Mao Xiaotong felt embarrassed, this is not even a bit unfavorable to speak.
"......Huh? I guess so. The actual combat of forbidden spells often uses a part of their own soul as a price, if the spell fails or is destroyed, it means that this part of the soul paid cannot be recovered, at this time, the caster is seriously ill, and at worst, his life is not guaranteed. ”
"It's like he's a forbidden technique that is destroyed, and most of his soul is missing, and then he loses consciousness and the energy in his body goes berserk, causing spontaneous combustion. If you could show me what was going on with his internal organs, I would be able to confirm that. ”
