, "It's okay, Zi Mo, you can do it!" I got up and took a deep breath of air and entered the morgue again.

There was sediment between the mouth and nose of the deceased, and it was true that he had died of drowning, but the only thing that puzzled me was the black spots all over his body.

This was obviously a sign of poisoning, but when I tested the poison with a silver needle, I did not find any toxins in the deceased's body.

I checked it carefully and found that the skin on the deceased's body did not have water lines, indicating that he had not been drowning for a long time, and he must have been rescued shortly after he drowned.

Judging by the degree of decomposition of the body, the deceased should have been dead for about seven days.

"The murderer drowned the deceased in the water, but after salvaging it, why didn't he just bury it on the spot, or let it rot on its own in the water, and take so much risk to consign it into the city?" I scratched at my hair, and I couldn't figure out what the killer was doing.

The city is full of traffic, and people come and go on the streets, what method did the murderer use to hide people's eyes and ears and not be discovered?

"Forget it, let's figure out what these dark spots are all about." I shook my head, put the questions behind me for a moment, and thought carefully about the books I had read.

"After poisoning, the toxins do not remain in the body, but they do leave dark spots...... Could it be the falling wild goose?! ”

I suddenly woke up and remembered that I had seen an ancient book called "The Book of Hundred Poisons" in the library before, and the strange poison recorded on it - Luoyansha!

Luoyan Sha, the strange poison of the Western Regions, tastes like sandalwood, can be fatal, accompanied by loss of perception, hallucinations and other symptoms; The toxin will sink into the blood marrow on its own after the host's death, and dark spots will appear on the body.

There are also many black spots on the deceased's body, maybe it is really poisoned by the falling goose sand, thinking of this, I took out another silver needle, this time directly into the bone marrow of the deceased.

Sure enough, the silver needles turned black, and the toxins were really deposited in the bone marrow.

When the autopsy was conducted, it was not on the surface of the deceased's body and flesh and blood, so there would be no further examination, and the murderer probably also took this into account, so he used the little-known strange poison of Luoyansha to commit the crime.

"You think you've done it invisibly, but it's a pity that you met me." Finding such a clue made my heart bloom with joy, so it is always good to read more books when I have nothing to do, and with sufficient knowledge reserves, all problems will be solved.

Out of the morgue, he returned to the hall and handed over his autopsy report to Taifu Ling, poured himself a cup of hot tea leisurely, cleared his throat, and said, "My lord, what do you think of my autopsy report?" Did you pass the test? ”

Taifu Ling Tian Lu looked suspicious, looked at me, then looked at the autopsy report in his hand, and was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Little girl, this mansion really underestimates you, and this mansion is not a person who keeps his promises, but if you really want to investigate the case, you can do it, this mansion will give you three days to find out the murderer behind the scenes, can you?" ”

Three days? That's too urgent, isn't it?! My face suddenly fell, and I said, "My lord, aren't you embarrassing me?" This case is not simple at first glance, you want me to close the case within three days? ”

Taifu Ling raised his eyebrows and chuckled: "What?" If you can't do it, let's leave quickly, and let others check ......"

"You!" I grinded my teeth in hatred, drank all the tea in the cup, and then dropped my palm on the table, and said: "Three days, three days, within three days, I will personally escort the murderer to you, if not, then I will voluntarily plead guilty!" ”

Taifu Ling clapped his hands and shouted: "Okay, this young and beautiful girl is really courageous!" As he spoke, he took out two gold medals from the drawer of the table, and said: "These two tokens are the search warrant and the arrest warrant of Taifu, they can give you certain privileges, in addition, during the period of your investigation, the officials and officers and soldiers of Taifu are at your disposal." ”

"Okay, then I'll go." With the two tokens in my arms, I went straight to the scene of the crime, where the murderer threw his body.

At that time, the body was thrown down from mid-air, so the green building, the restaurant and the antique shop, the pavilion in the scene of the three crimes, naturally became the focus of suspicion.

This area has now been surrounded by officers and soldiers, and until the case is investigated, no unrelated person is allowed to come out and move around at will, otherwise they will be treated as suspects.

The name of the antique shop is Tongyuan Antique Shop, and the shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his fifties, slightly chubby, wearing a money treasure suit.

The complexion is sallow, there is a conspicuous black mole under the lips, and there is a mustache like Taifu Lingtian Lu above.

After I entered the door, he glanced at me listlessly and said, "This store is temporarily closed, the girl will come back another day." ”

"The shopkeeper misunderstood, I was sent by the Taifu Order to investigate this corpse dumping case." With that, I showed the search warrant to prove my identity.

"The original Lord of Taifu, disrespectful and disrespectful, please inside." When the shopkeeper saw the search warrant in my hand, he hurriedly got up and welcomed me to a tea table and sat down, and called the rest of the shop out.

In this antique shop, in addition to his shopkeeper, there is also a white-haired, white-bearded, hunched bookkeeper, and two miscellaneous men of about twenty-five or sixteen years old.

Seeing that the people had arrived, I first glanced at them in turn, and then asked, "Do you know who the deceased is?" ”

The shopkeeper's name is Qian Jiuzong, when he heard me ask about the deceased, his face suddenly sank, and he snorted coldly: "He, surnamed Zhang Mingsheng, is a well-known street slicker in this area, Gao Tang in the family has long passed away, and he has a child under his knees, not to mention his corpse, even if he turns to ashes, I can recognize him!" ”

"It seems that your hatred for him is great, can you tell me why?"

"That Wang Ba calf, for no reason, came to my store, as if crazy, and directly smashed the batch of antiques I just entered, so that I lost all my money! Do you think my hatred of him is not great? The shopkeeper's indignation, the clattering of a pair of fists, and the bruised tendons flare, did not look like they were pretending.

I raised my eyebrows, stared into his eyes, and asked, "So you killed him out of anger?" ”

The shopkeeper realized that his words just now were a little excessive, and after a long breath, he said: "My lord, I am a person with a temperament, and I will not hide anything I say, but I am not afraid to tell you the truth.

At that time, I really wanted to cut that beast with a thousand knives, but who knew that after he smashed my antiques, he disappeared mysteriously, and I couldn't find it. ”

Mysteriously missing? I frowned deeply and asked again, "Then when did he come and smash your antiques?" ”

"Just half a month ago, the neighbors all knew about this, if you don't believe it, you can ask."

Half a month ago, the deceased Zhang Sheng's death time was only more than seven days, if he was killed by the money shopkeeper at that time, the body should have decomposed into a pile of white bones, it could not be the current level of decay, could it be someone else?

"When he broke in and smashed your antiques, how was it different from his usual time?" I asked again.

The shopkeeper's recollection, said: "He was ...... It's like a madman who has gone insane, and when he breaks in, he cries and howls violently, grabbing things and smashing them. ”

Hearing him say this, I was even more sure in my heart that the deceased must have been poisoned by Luoyansha at that time, his own perception was affected, and hallucinations appeared in front of him, so this would happen to the scene that the money shopkeeper said.

But after all, it happened half a month ago, could it be said that the murderer had already targeted Zhang Sheng half a month ago?

"So after Zhang Sheng's mysterious disappearance, he never appeared again?" I asked again.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "Not really, he came back some time ago, but his clothes are torn, his hair is messy, and he looks worse than a beggar, just like a wild man who came out of the mountains." He also staggered when he walked, and he didn't react when others talked to him. ”

"And what happened to him?" I hurriedly asked.

"Later, he went to the Pearl Building next door, and after ruining the brand geisha, he disappeared again, and when he reappeared, it would be today's situation."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper covered his mouth and smiled, and said: "But speaking of which, before he died, the king and the eight calves were able to forcibly occupy the top geisha who was born with the appearance of captivating the country and the city, and he can be regarded as a well-deserved death, and he will not lose." ”

"What do you say?" I slapped him heavily on the table and snorted coldly: "Auntie, what I hate most is the kind of person who tarnishes the innocence of girls and ruins people's lives. ”

After speaking, he glared at the shopkeeper fiercely and said, "And you!" You can answer whatever I ask you, and if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll drag you out and beat you up first, do you understand?! ”

The shopkeeper only felt a shiver all over his body, nodded again and again, and said, "What the adults say, the little ones understand... The little one understands that he will never dare to talk nonsense in the future. ”

I nodded with satisfaction, poured myself a cup of tea, and continued to ask, "Have you had a deep grudge against anyone over the years?" ”

The shopkeeper thought about it carefully, shook his head and waved his hand: "This doesn't seem to be true, whether it is for people or business, our old Qian family pays attention to harmony and harmony, and makes money with harmony. ”

"Okay, okay, all the questions that should be asked, I won't bother, you all go your own way, farewell."

After speaking, I got up directly and walked out to the door, and at the same time asked the officers and soldiers who were guarding here and the officials to keep this place close to me, once I found any suspicious people, I didn't need to report it, I just escorted it back to Taifu, and only after the explanation was completed did I turn around and walk towards the spring building next door.
