Chapter 3: The Seven Deadly Sins 03
"You're from the second group...... Officer Shen, right? β
Shen Xingfan was not used to his glorious identity, so he was stunned for a moment, then reacted and nodded to the person: "Ang, what's wrong?" β
"Here, there's a package of yours, someone just brought it, and it's time to leave...... Five minutes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½β
The doorman handed her a sealed cardboard box half arm long, with an envelope next to it.
Shen Xingfan put the envelope aside and shook the cardboard box.
What is it?
"Yo, I bought a courier?"
The tone was sloppy, and Liang Yu walked in with soy milk in one hand and in his pocket in the other.
"No, I didn't buy anything. By the way, when I first came," Shen Xingfan was a little puzzled, and turned around and pointed to him, "I always feel that someone is following me along the way." β
Liang Yu's gaze stayed on the cardboard box: "Shhh β
βοΌβ
Shen Xingfan didn't dare to speak, and then he heard that very low, rhythmic voice.
Tick.
Tick.
Before she could react, Liang Yu had already grabbed the box, turned around and ran out.
"Liang Delirium!"
There was a small garden opposite the police station, and there was no one at this time of the morning, so Liang Yu went over there and threw the cardboard box high.
The cardboard box exploded in mid-air, and Liang Yu reflexively pressed Shen Xingfan, who was chasing out, under him.
Shen Xingfan only felt a bang, and the bright light even came in through her eyelids. Then she hurriedly touched the person in front of her: "Are you okay?" β
"Little girl, don't move your hands and feet, it's a bit inappropriate for my brother to save your life and then give you a ride."
Hearing that Liang Yu could still be blind and poor there, she finally exhaled, and then stood up with one hand on the ground.
The sound here shocked the people in the entire police station, and as soon as they stood firm, Han Yan and Ji Xun had already run down.
"Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Liang Yu clapped his hands, then turned to find the wreckage of the bomb that fell on the ground, "Ask Comrade Xiao Shen, the child may be scared when he encounters this for the first time." β
Chi Xun held Shen Xingfan's face with both hands, looked at her eyes carefully, and then nodded to Han Yan, meaning that there was no big problem.
Han Yan asked her about the bomb, and Ji Xun put his hands in his pockets and looked around.
"And a letter?"
"Well, it's on the table at the door."
Han Yan called someone from the demolition team to come here and analyze the explosives with Liang Yu, and Chi Xun went to read the letter first.
The snow-white envelope has only one line of words on it: "Shen Xingfan." β
opened the envelope and pulled out the letter paper, on which were a few lines of text that Shen Xingfan couldn't understand.
"What is this? β¦β¦ Spell? β
"Middle High German, a form of German spoken between 1050 and 1350."
"Doctor, you can even speak such a lofty language......"
Ji Xun laughed and rubbed her hair, "This is a passage from the song of the Nibelungen. β
The queen then went to the prisoner of Hagen:
How hostile she is to samurai culture:
"If you can return the treasure that you have stolen from me,
Then I can let you live Burgundy and not kill you. β
Shen Xingfan hadn't seen the song of the Nibelungen and hesitated: "What does this mean?" β
"A tale of revenge in which the queen killed a samurai who refused to hand over her treasure." Chi Xun studied the angles and gaps of the letters on the letterhead, and saw that the person who wrote the letter was in a very angry mood.
"......," he said, thoughtfully putting away the letter.
"Which one? Am I his seventh sin? β
"No, Twilight's test yesterday showed that he kept his victims awake when he cut off their organs, and he was making people feel their sins clearly through that process, or rather, he was forcing them to atone for their sins. You exploded into fireworks without reacting to anything, which is not his purpose. And he is a person with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder, everything has to be done according to his established rules, and there is no souvenir on you? It would make him uncomfortable and want to cut his heart out. β
Chi Xun folded the envelope and put it in his pocket: "He's angry." Did you find any information yesterday? β
"Hmm...... The real information has not been found, but traces of him once in a forum have been found, the message is blank, and the name is ...... Wuotanγ Shen Xingfan spelled out one of those words.
"Wuotan, in Old High German, means berserk, the father of the gods, Odin."
"Odin?"
"The supreme god of Norse mythology, the god-king of the Aesir gods, is regarded as the king of the gods and the king of the dead. Legend has it that Odin was tall, dressed in gold armor, riding an eight-legged god Maslepnis, and armed with the famous gun Gungnir. He had the Valkyries collect the souls of the dead in preparation for the twilight of the gods of the end-of-life battle. β
No wonder.
Chi Xun connects the two.
Odin is a character in Norse mythology, and the setting, character, and epic style of "Song of the Nibelungen" have a lot to do with several works of Norse tradition, especially with "VolsungaSaga" and "TheEdlerEdda (thepoeticEdda)" in terms of personality. The Nibelungen, for example, is the concept of Nilfheim in Norse mythology. In terms of character, Siegfried appears in both works, cognate with Volsunga and Sigur?r in Norse mythology. And the Valkyries in the second chapter of the Nibelungen and Volsunga are called Brynhild.
The motif of the epic has the standard elements of Norse mythology: omens, revenge, and finally tragedy.
Tragic......
After Han Yan finished doing it over and went upstairs with them, Tang Duge already knew the news, and handed Shen Xingfan a cup of hot milky white liquid when he entered the door.
Shen Xingfan sat on a chair and took a big sip of the cup, sighed contentedly, and then looked at the cup carefully: "Twilight ......"
"Huh?"
"Uh...... This cup you gave me...... It's not brains, is it? β
Tang Duge smiled very gently: "Don't worry, it's more nutritious than that." β
"There's news." Ye Chen strode in, and when he saw Shen Xingfan, whose face was pale, he paused, "What's wrong?" Did Twilight give you a brain? β
ββ¦β¦ Feed! β
"Don't make a fuss." Han Yan briefly explained a few words to her.
"Oops, pitiful." Ye Chen wanted to hug Shen Xingfan tightly in his arms as he spoke.
"Sister and sister," Shen Xingfan desperately hid back, "I will be dizzy, I will be dizzy." β
Ye Chen didn't mess with her much, and when he saw that she was really nothing serious, he put his mind at ease. "In the morning, a corpse was found in Huxi Park in the north of the city, wrapped in plastic film, with basic embalming treatment, and missing a left ear."
"Check it out." Han Yan turned to Shen Xingfan, "Is it okay?" β
"Okay."
"Well, continue to investigate the murderer, and also investigate the missing person five years ago."
Along the way, the weather was getting worse and worse, and the sky was overcast, Tang Duge watched the trees on the side of the road being blown by the wind and hitting each other: "Isn't the weather forecast sunny today?" β
"Odin."
