Mary's body lay on the morgue, and the sunlight shone through the window on her charm-carved face, revealing a strange and terrifying feeling.

On the side, Bao Ying was carefully observing in front of a microscope, and dense beads of sweat oozed from her nose.

At this time, Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan pushed the door in. Lu Hehuan couldn't wait to walk up to Bao Ying, "Xiao Ying, are Mary's autopsy results out?" ”

Bao Ying turned his face sideways and nodded, "Mary's death is exactly the same as Ling Yan's, and the wound on her face is very similar to the one she carved when she was alive." She paused, "The deceased held the dagger in his right hand and cut an artery in his neck, causing hemorrhagic shock and death. ”

"There was a heavy fog on the night of Ling Yan and Mary'......s death," Lu Hehuan said and frowned thoughtfully, the image of Ling Yan and Mary smiling strangely in a void world flashed in his mind.

After a while, Lu Hehuan came back to his senses, as if asking others, and seemed to mutter, "Why do the deceased have a weird smile on their faces?" ”

Ying Xi stared at Mary's corpse, "Because the 'Bloody Cloth Curse' will keep copying the dead." Ling Yan committed suicide with the 'Blood Cloth Curse', knowing that she could take revenge, so she died with a smile, and then the dead stand-in would die completely according to Ling Yan's death, including the smile on the corner of her mouth, of course. ”

"Nonsense." Lu Hehuan blurted out.

Ying Xi shrugged disapprehantly, "There are many things in this world that we have not seen or experienced, but maybe it is true, I believe that the 'Bloody Cloth Curse' really exists." ”

Lu Hehuan stared at the wound on Mary's neck and shook his head, "This should be a premeditated serial murder, not a 'bloody curse' murder at all." ”

Bao Ying looked at Lu Hehuan suspiciously, "But why did the murderer choose Ling Yan and Mary?" I don't think it's going to be a random killing. ”

Lu Hehuan nodded, "That's right, Ling Yan and Mary both graduated from Mingde Middle School, and the two of them are classmates in the same class, if it is a random killing, this is too much of a coincidence." ”

Ying Xi looked a little impatient, "What a coincidence is this!" Ling Yan committed suicide with the 'Bloody Cloth Curse', and Mary died because of the 'Bloody Cloth Curse', apparently because of some grievances between Mary and Ling Yan. ”

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi helplessly and shook his head.

On the third pole of the day, Bao Kang took the chicken feathers taken from the aunt who sold wontons and came to the largest chicken farm in the old gate - Qianfengyuan Chicken Farm. He stood at the gate of the chicken farm in Qianfengyuan, looked at the plaque with "Qianfengyuan" written on it, and happily wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Unexpectedly, let me follow the clues of a chicken feather to this chicken farm, and my Bao Kang is really not old." Bao Kang said, smiled proudly, and walked into the gate of the chicken farm.

In the Qianfengyuan chicken farm, a farmer is feeding chickens.

Bao Kang walked into the chicken farm and came to the workers, "What about your boss?" ”

The worker looked at Bao Kang vigilantly, "Are you?" ”

"I'm Bao Kang, the commissioner of the Jiuzha Police Station. Go to your boss. ”

When the workers heard this, they ran away.

In a moment, the owner of the chicken farm came over, he was in his forties, with a rich face and a mustache. When the owner of the chicken farm saw Bao Kang, he was extremely excited, "Director Bao, you are here!" I was about to go to the police station to report the crime! ”

Bao Kang looked at the chicken farm owner suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”

"Director Bao came and had a look." The owner of the chicken farm took Bao Kang to the door of a chicken coop, only to see that inside the chicken coop, from one end to the other, dead chickens were everywhere and flies were flying.

Bao Kang was stunned, "Boss, this?" ”

The owner of the chicken farm sighed heavily, "In one night, hundreds of chickens died!" I suspect someone was poisoned! ”

Bao Kang thought for a moment and asked, "Who usually feeds this chicken?" ”

The owner of the chicken farm shouted loudly while looking around, "Luo Si! Luo Si—"

In a moment, Luo Si appeared at the other end of the chicken coop. Bao Kang glanced over and saw that he was in his twenties, with a straight nose and clear eyes, and he was very handsome.

Luo Si bent down respectfully, "Boss, you called me?" ”

The owner of the chicken farm snorted angrily, "Come here!" ”

Luo Si nodded, walked through the chicken coop with dead chickens on both sides, and when he saw that there were living people, he looked at Bao Kang vigilantly.

The owner of the chicken farm pointed at Bao Kang, "This is Director Bao of the Jiuzha Police Station, you tell the director about last night." ”

Bao Kang looked Luo Si up and down, Luo Si looked at Bao Kang timidly, saw that Bao Kang had been staring at him, and suddenly turned around and ran.

Bao Kang was stunned, opened his mouth and shouted, "Stop!" Stop! ”

Bao Kang hurried to catch up.

Luo Si kept his feet and ran straight towards the gate. Seeing this, Bao Kang pulled out his pistol and fired a warning shot into the sky, Luo Si was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and Bao Kang rushed up to hold Luo Si.

Luo Si was quickly escorted to the police station. There was silence in the interrogation room, and Bao Kang sat on the chair, looking sharply at Luo Si who was tied to the chair opposite. Luo Si lowered his head evasively and didn't say a word.

There was a knock at the door, and the aunt who sold wontons was invited in by the bald head. The bald head pulled over the chair for the aunt to sit down, then walked around behind Luo Si and grabbed Luo Si's hair. Luo Si screamed in pain.

The bald head grabbed Luo Si's hair and shook it towards the aunt, "Is it him?" ”

The aunt looked Luo Si up and down, "It looks like ......"

The bald head took the notebook and the ink and handed it to the aunt, "Just press a fingerprint." ”

The aunt pressed her fingerprints and walked out of the interrogation room.

Bao Kang slammed the table and looked at Luo Si viciously, "Say!" ”

Luo Si was full of excitement, "Say...... What do you say, Director Bao? ”

"What were you doing at Mary's house last night?" Bao Kang forced Luo Si to look at him.

"I, I'll go to their house to deliver chickens." Luo Sizhi was divided and seemed to be hiding something.

Bao Kang looked at Luo Si suspiciously, "Send chickens? ”

Luo Si's eyes dodged.

Bao Kang glanced at Luo Si, "Then what's the matter with the injury on your face?" ”

"Yes, I accidentally fell and injured myself."

"Nonsense!" Bao Kang was angry.

Luo Si insisted unconfidently, "I'm not talking nonsense. ”

Bao Kang stared at Luo Si closely, "If you don't cooperate, then you can only give you a good taste." Bao Kang said as he took a leather whip and shook it on the ground.

Luo Si swallowed in fear, "What are you going to do?" ”

Bao Kang didn't speak, and whipped at Luo Si violently. Luo Si exclaimed, "I said, I said ......"

Seeing this, Bao Kang hurriedly put down his whip and stared at Luo Si with bright eyes.

Luo Si paused, and finally spoke, "The chickens in the back kitchen of Su Shoushan's house have always been picked up by the maid Uncle Yi himself, and yesterday Uncle Yi was sick, and the boss asked me to deliver the chickens." I was just looking for something of value to take away......" Luo Si said, falling into memory.

In the evening of the same day, Luo Si carried two chickens and followed a subordinate of Mary's family into the Su Mansion.

The subordinate motioned to Luo Si, "Send the chicken to the kitchen on the second floor." ”

Luo Si nodded, walked upstairs, and when he passed a room, Luo Si saw that the door was open, and he looked around and saw that there was no one, so he quietly slipped in.

Luo Si walked into the room and sneakily searched for something valuable. Suddenly, he heard the sound of water in the bathroom and quietly walked over. Luo Si looked through the crack in the hidden door and found Mary taking a bath in the bathtub.

Luo Si peeked at Mary taking a bath with excitement on his face, and unconsciously moved forward, touching the bathroom door and making a noise.

Mary looked up at the door, found Luo Si, and exclaimed, "Someone, someone!" ”

Luo Si panicked and wanted to leave, but several servants had already rushed in from outside the door.

As Mary dressed, she ordered the servant, "Get this pervert for me!" ”

The servants rushed up and held Luo Si down.

Luo Si kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Miss Mary, spare me, I'm unintentional!" ”

Mary put on her pajamas and walked out, glaring at Luo Si viciously, "Call me!" Kill this pervert! ”

"Spare your life, spare your life!" Luo Si's screams were louder and louder.

Several servants punched and kicked Luo Si for a while, and Luo Si fled in a hurry.

Thinking of this, Luo Si couldn't regret it, he looked at Bao Kang pitifully, "These injuries on my face were all beaten by Mary's domestic servants." ”

Bao Kang pursed his lips, "So you hold a grudge and take revenge and kill, right?" ”

"Murder? I didn't. Luo Sisi was shocked.

"And quibble, saying, how did you kill her?"

"I didn't kill anyone! I really didn't kill anyone! ”

"It's hard-mouthed!" Bao Kang waved his leather whip and continued to beat Luo Si fiercely.

Luo Si begged for mercy with a crying voice, "Director Bao, I didn't kill anyone, I was wronged......"

Bao Kang sneered and waved his leather whip at Luo Si again.

The sky was just right, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi walked into the office building of the police station and met them with a festive bald head.

Ying looked at the bald head in disbelief, "Bald head, why are you so happy?" ”

"Inspector Ying, Mary's case has been solved, and the murderer has been caught."

Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan heard this, and asked in unison, "Caught it?" ”

The bald head nodded, "It was the suspect who was personally caught by Director Bao, and after two hours of interrogation, the prisoner finally confessed that it was he who killed Mary." ”

Ying Xi was overjoyed, "I didn't expect Director Bao to be so capable and solve the case so quickly." ”

Lu Hehuan frowned suspiciously, "Where is the suspect now?" ”

"I'm already in a cell."

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi, "Let's go take a look." ”

Ying Xi, Lu Hehuan and a police officer came to the door of the cell. In the cell, Luo Si was sitting in the corner of the wall cowering, his body covered with whiplashes.

Seeing this, Lu Hehuan couldn't help but sigh, "I just feel that something is wrong, and it is really a trick." He turned his face to the officer and motioned, "Open the cell door." ”

The police opened the cell door, and Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan walked in.

Luo Si glared at the two of them and did not speak.

Lu Hehuan squatted down, "Luo Si, I know you were wronged. ”

Luo Si's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Lu Hehuan emotionally, "Then you let me out." ”

Ying Xi interjected on the side, "The commissioner arrested you in, how could he let you out as a police officer?" ”

Lu Hehuan's face sank, and he said slowly, "Luo Si, if you want to go out, you must tell the truth." ”

Luo Si nodded.

Lu Hehuan said with a straight face, "Where did you go last night, and who can testify?" ”

"I, I'm going......" Luo Sizhi hesitated, pleading with the two of them with a bitter face, "Two police officers, I am really wronged, please save me......"

Lu Hehuan looked at Luo Si, "Don't worry, as long as you explain the truth, I can help you get rid of the crime, otherwise once the case is closed, the chief inspector will not spare you first." ”

Luo Si was frightened and hurriedly confessed, "I went to the pharmacy last night to steal something, and then I went back to the chicken farm." ”

While speaking, Lu Hehuan noticed Luo Si's hands and found that both of his palms were covered with red spots.

Lu Hehuan pointed to Luo Si's palm curiously, "What's the matter with your hand?" ”

Luo Si replied while scratching the itch, "Last night when I was stealing from the pharmacy, I knocked over a jar, and the medicine powder in it spilled out, I put the medicine powder back with my hands, and my hands began to itch when I came back. ”

Ying Xi couldn't help but interject, "What pharmacy?" ”

"Rejuvenation Hall."

Ying Xi and Lu Hehuan glanced at each other.

Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi came to the door of the pharmacy, glanced at the plaque that read "Rejuvenation Hall", and walked in side by side.

The owner of the pharmacy immediately greeted him, "What kind of medicine do you want to buy?" ”

Ying Xi showed his ID, "I'm Inspector Ying Xi of the Jiuzha Police Station, this is Detective Lu Hehuan, we are here to ask about something." ”

The drugstore owner nodded.

Lu Hehuan looked at the boss and asked tentatively, "Boss, were there any thieves in the pharmacy last night?" ”

The pharmacy owner nodded, "Yes, this stupid thief also knocked over a can of arsenic." ”

Lu Hehuan thought for a while, "What would happen if a person's skin came into direct contact with arsenic?" ”

"You'll get dermatitis and red spots."

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi sideways, "Luo Si has red spots on his hands. ”

Ying Xi rubbed his beard knowingly, "So what Luo Si said is true?" Then he is not a murderer. ”

"It's not completely certain yet, we have to find Xiao Ying to go to the chicken farm where Luo Si works." Lu Hehuan said goodbye, and went to the Qianfeng Garden chicken farm with Ying Xi.

In the chicken farm of Qianfeng Garden, Bao Ying concentrated on testing a few dead chickens, and then talked to Lu Hehuan in a low voice, and Lu Hehuan fell into thought.

Lu Hehuan pushed a cart full of chicken food, grabbed the chicken food one by one and fed the chickens, and fed it from one end of the chicken coop to the other.

After feeding the chickens, Lu Hehuan looked at the pocket watch and thought thoughtfully.

Ying Xi walked over curiously, "God is mysterious, what are you doing?" ”

"I've verified it, Luo Si doesn't have the time to commit the crime."

As soon as the words fell, Bao Ying seemed to remember something, and looked at Lu Hehuan in a panic, "Oh no, my brother is going to hold a press conference to announce the closure of the case." ”

Ying Xi added, "Once the case is closed, Luo Si will be sent to court and will definitely die." ”

Lu Hehuan frowned, and motioned to the two, "Go!" ”

The three left in a hurry.

The sun was shining, Bao Kang stood at the gate of the police station, held a press conference to announce the closure of the case, and two police officers escorted Luo Si to stand next to Bao Kang. Reporters from all walks of life surrounded Bao Kang and were taking pictures of Bao Kang and Luo Si.

Bao Kang cleared his throat, "The murder case of Mary has finally been solved, and today we are going to send the murderer Luo Si to court and accept the verdict of the law......"

Before Bao Kang finished speaking, Lu Hehuan and Ying Xi suddenly squeezed in.

Lu Hehuan shouted loudly, "Director Bao, you can't close the case!" ”

Bao Kang didn't wait for Lu Hehuan to speak, and then roughly interrupted him, "Lu Hehuan, it's a press conference now, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lu Hehuan looked at the reporters around him and hesitated for a while.

Luo Si looked at Lu Hehuan emotionally, "You liar, didn't you say that as long as I tell the truth, you can save me!" Big liar! I'll kill you! ”

Luo Si struggled as hard as he could, and suddenly, he grabbed the dagger from the waist of the police officer behind him and stabbed at Lu Hehuan.

At the critical moment, Ying Xi dodged in front of Lu Hehuan and grabbed the blade of the dagger. Blood oozed from between Ying Xi's fingers, and two police officers hurriedly came over to subdue Luo Si.

Lu Hehuan relieved himself and looked at Ying Xi with concern, "Inspector Ying!" ”

Ying Xi pressed his palm and endured the pain, "It's okay, it's a small injury." ”

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi's injured palm and blamed himself.

Seeing this, Ying Xi hurriedly comforted Lu Hehuan, "I'm fine, do what you have to do." ”

Lu Hehuan nodded and struggled to stand up, "Luo Si is not the murderer of Mary. ”

Bao Kang glared at Lu Hehuan angrily, Lu Hehuan turned a deaf ear, and said aloud to everyone present, "I went to the chicken farm to investigate, and on the night Mary was killed, all the chickens in the chicken coop that Luo Si was responsible for feeding died overnight. After examination, the chickens were found to have died of arsenic poisoning. And Luo Si had gone to the Huichun Hall Pharmacy to steal things before, and in the process he spilled a jar of arsenic, Luo Si was worried about leaving traces, so he put the arsenic back into the jar with his bare hands......"

After returning to Qianfengyuan, he forgot to wash his hands and fed the chickens, so he poisoned the chickens in the entire chicken coop. According to the test, the chickens died at different times, with a gap of about two hours between the chickens at one end of the house and the chickens at the other end of the coop, and the time of death was about 12 to 2 o'clock in the morning that day......

"I have personally experimented and found that it takes two hours to feed the chickens from one end of the coop to the other to feed the whole chicken, and according to the onset time of arsenic in the chickens is about an hour, Luo Si should have fed the chickens between 11 and 1 o'clock at night, and Mary died at about 12 o'clock at night. In short, the time when Luo Si fed the chickens coincided with the time of Mary's death, so it can be inferred from this that Luo Si had obvious alibi evidence, and he could not have been a murderer. ”

Luo Siyi turned his anger into joy when he heard this, and retracted his confession, "I was wronged." He said and pointed at Bao Kang, "The reason why I confessed my guilt is all because this Director Bao was beaten into a trick!" ”

All of a sudden, public opinion was in an uproar.

Reporters rushed to Bao Kang's approach, and one reporter preemptively asked, "Director Bao, now that there is evidence that Luo Si did not have time to commit the crime, you should release Luo Si immediately." ”

Everyone chimed in, "Yes, they should be released immediately......"

Bao Kang was speechless in anger.

There was a lot of talk in the crowd.

Lu Hehuan took the opportunity to come to Bao Kang and said earnestly, "Director Bao, let people go." ”

Bao Kang was angry and helpless, came to Luo Si, and opened the handcuffs for Luo Si with his own hands.

Luo Si rubbed his arm and ran away with joy on his face.

In the office of the police station, Lu Hehuan sat silently on the chair, looking at Ling Yan and Mary's autopsy report. On the side, the wound on Ying Xi's hand had been bandaged, and he looked at Lu Hehuan with a leisurely expression.

Suddenly, the bald head mysteriously ran in, "Have you heard?" ”

Ying Xi looked at the bald head when he heard the voice, "What did you hear?" ”

The bald head had an exaggerated expression, "The whole old gate is crazy!" It is said that Mary's death was because Ling Yan practiced the 'Bloody Cloth Curse' to kill people, He Huan, you should also be careful, I heard that this 'Bloody Cloth Curse' is very evil, and those who stick to it will be unlucky. ”

Lu Hehuan pursed his lips disdainfully, "Nonsense." ”

Ying Xi looked at Lu Hehuan worriedly, "Although the matter of ghosts and gods cannot be believed, it cannot be disbelieved, I think it is better to suspend the investigation." ”

"Inspector Ying, how can you believe this?" Lu Hehuan was a little angry.

Ying was glad to see that Lu Hehuan didn't appreciate it, so he put away the gloom on his face and his tone turned hard, "I care about you, I love to listen to it or not!" ”

"Thank you for your concern, I don't believe that Ling Yan will practice any evil spell to commit suicide, she must have been killed, I must find out the murderer of Ling Yan, I will not give up this case." Lu Hehuan looked resolute.

While the two were talking, Lu Xiang suddenly walked in and pointed at Lu He Huan's nose, "You have to give up this case!" ”

Lu Hehuan looked at Lu Xiang, "Daddy......"

Lu Xiang raised his hand to interrupt Lu Hehuan, "I have a tea house theft case here, you go to investigate this case." ”

"Nope." Lu Hehuan did not hesitate.

Lu Xiang lowered his voice and reminded Lu He Huan, "He Huan, the old gate is now full of wind and rain in the city, and rumors of the 'bloody cloth curse' are all over the street!" I can tell you, don't get involved in this case! Your mother asked you to hurry up and go to the Guanyin Temple to worship......"

Lu Hehuan stubbornly interrupted Lu Xiang, "Dad, I won't give up." ”

"You ......" Lu Xiang was annoyed and pointed at Lu He Huan, "I order you, in my capacity as the deputy director, to terminate the investigation of Ling Yan's case." ”

Lu Hehuan shook his head stubbornly, "Deputy Director Lu, Ling Yan's murder and Mary's murder are involved, and now it is Inspector General Gordon who ordered me to investigate this case, I'm sorry, I can't obey your order to terminate the investigation." ”

"You!" Lu Xiang knotted.

Lu Hehuan looked at Ying Xi, "Inspector Ying, let's go." ”

Ying Xi followed Lu Hehuan away with an embarrassed face.
