Chapter 345: The Strange Seed Hides in the Heart
Song Zhiwei took Emmanuel away, Li Mi did not doubt Emmanuel's methods, as long as he wanted, he could let anyone tell the truth, after all, this cult leader has 10,000 ways to make your life worse than death.
It's just that Li Mi is also thinking about it, this case is not complicated, but whether it is a door bolt or a copper paperweight or something like that, it can't be used as evidence, he can't even find the murder weapon, and in the end he has to rely on Emmanuel's coerced confession to complete, which really makes him feel very depressed.
The lack of criminal investigation technology and equipment made him shackled, and although there were enough people to do a large number of inspections and eliminations, the most important thing was to rely on reasoning, which made Li Mi feel very uneasy.
A detective never relies on inspiration, let alone his own intelligence, after all, not everyone can become Sherlock Holmes, and real-life cases will never have so many bizarre plots.
Solving cases is a very boring thing, and in later generations, criminal investigation work has even become a procedural industrial practice, relying more on objective existence than subjective judgment.
It's just that in the current era, it is not easy to do this, and Li Mi can only gradually adapt to it, but this will inevitably lead to unjust, false and wrongful cases, even if he becomes a detective, he will leave a stain, which is what Li Mi is extremely unwilling to see.
Whether to stick to the original intention or follow the trend, Li Mi was also very struggling and contradictory in his heart, and after pondering for a long time, he was ready to leave.
At this time, the official yamen finally walked in, intending to collect the body back for disposal.
They have heard of Li Mi's name, and they also admire Li Mi tightly, although this later life is young, it is said that he started from half an apprentice, which is simply an industry myth!
Especially the few small workers who carried the corpse, they were full of admiration for Li Mi, and they couldn't wait to give Li Mi a five-body gift.
Li Mi felt the light in their eyes, and nodded and smiled in return, and several people were immediately flattered and couldn't even speak.
Seeing that Li Mi was about to walk out of the door, a small worker inside sighed softly: "Master, this corpse is strange, you look at the heart ......."
When Li Mi heard this, his heart tightened, so he stopped his steps and hurried back to the room, where the little worker was taking off the heart held by the corpse and holding it in front of the old man.
When the old man saw this, he also glared at the little worker, as if to say, call you troublesome!
Li Mi didn't care about this, stepped forward, looked down at the heart, and soon found that there were traces of stitches on the heart!
The scene of this crime is too bloody, although Li Mizai has carefully examined it, but this heart has not been looked at closely, only to find out at this time that those black stitches are actually stitched along the veins of the heart, if you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all!
Li Mi immediately asked the old man to put down his heart, Emmanuel did have a box with a complete set of dissecting instruments, but he had already taken it away, and Li Mi could only take out the fetal knife and gently cut the sutures of the heart.
When Li Mi cut the sutures, the heart was like a bud waiting to be released, opening in an instant, and Li Mi was immediately shocked.
This heart is like a chicken gizzard, and when it is opened, it turns out to be a handful of grain!
Chicken gizzard is also chicken gizzard, when killing chickens, undigested millet and other things are often found in it, after the sand bladder on the inner wall of the chicken gizzard is dried, it is the gold in the traditional Chinese medicine chicken.
When everyone saw this, they were also puzzled, but Li Mi took out the warm grains with blood.
These grains are not rice, but a bit like barley, but they are smaller and more slender, and I don't know what kind of plant they are, and Li Mi is not easy to judge.
It's not just the millet that's weird, it's the meaning behind the act of sewing the millet into the heart!
Li Mi earlier characterized the case as a crime of passion, which was the impulse of a serial murderer, but after it was involved in the prosecution of Yang Zhenfan, he had to consider the vendetta caused by political goals.
But what is the motivation for sewing the millet into the heart?
Li Mi was thinking about it, but the old man said to Li Mi: "Can Master Li let the old man take a look?" ”
Li Mi turned his head to look, the old man's face was dark, and his arms were strong, so Li Mi handed the seed to the old man.
Generally speaking, they often stay in Yizhuang, and they are eroded by yin energy, and most of them are old people with insufficient yang energy, their faces are white, their bodies are weak, and they cannot get a good death.
But this old man is very yang, his complexion is dark, his hands and feet are strong, and he thinks that he should often bask in the sun, but he is like mud legs.
After taking a closer look, the old man said to Li Mi: "My lord, if the old man is not mistaken, these are the seeds of cranberries......
"Cranberry?" Li Mi had never heard of this plant, and he didn't expect that someone would sew this inexplicable seed into someone else's heart.
"Well, this cranberry is Zhuge vegetables, but it is also common, the flowers are blue-purple, all over the mountains, everywhere, and it is also very good-looking, there are many ...... on Tiger Hill Mountain."
"Blooming at this time?" Li Mi was also a little surprised, after all, it was the end of the first month, and it was February in a few days, and even a light snow had fallen, how could there be such gorgeous wildflowers?
At this time, he explained to Li Mi: "This Zhuge vegetable is also called February orchid, February is the flowering period, you can see such a beautiful flower in the cold winter, it is also the creation of God, and the February orchid is still a wild vegetable, many people pick it back to eat." ”
"A wild vegetable?" Li Mi was really a little confused, who had nothing to do to kill someone, put on such a weird shape, and sewed a wild vegetable seed into his heart?
Earlier, Li Mi and Emmanuel analyzed that the murderer made this ritual as a manifestation of extreme narcissism, and dedicated the murderer's heart to the murderer's head.
But at this time, I am afraid that what the murderer really wants to show is not the head or heart, but the seeds in the heart!
Since this is done, then these seeds must be holy in the murderer's heart, and what is so peculiar about this Zhuge vegetable that can make the murderer value it so much?
After all, this is just an ordinary wild vegetable, and it should be a holy object, and it should also be a legendary strange flower and strange grass such as the flower on the other side!
Li Mi pondered for a moment, and then asked the old man, "What does this Zhuge dish have to do with Zhuge ? ”
Li Mi really didn't want to ask this, because if he was linked to Zhuge Liang, he would inevitably think of Zhuge Liang!
For so long, several of the cases that Li Mi has investigated are emergencies and have little to do with each other.
But most of the cases are related to the Heroes Association, and they are closely related to him Li Mi, who is not a firefighter who goes around checking and filling in the gaps, let alone a person who can only go with the flow and be taken away by the times.
I thought that this case was just an accident at the Tiger Hill Poetry Conference, but if I connect with the Heroes Club again, I am afraid that the follow-up will be even more troublesome!
However, the old man's answer soon made Li Mi hear the answer he didn't want to hear.
This Zhuge dish is really related to Zhuge Liang!
"The reason why this Zhuge dish is called Zhuge cuisine is that it is related to Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng."
The old man rarely had a chance to come, and at this time he was a little proud, and he told the origin of 1510.
Zhuge Liang is Liu Bei's minister, the prime minister's state affairs, military rations and taxes are the most important of it.
But Shu has a large population, and the thousands of troops and horses, just for one day's consumption, the consumption of grain and grass is amazing enough, and the people are loyal and obedient, and they can't meet the needs of the army.
In a chance private visit to Weifu, Zhuge Liang saw this blue-purple wild vegetable, felt good-looking, and asked the old farmer, I heard that the leaves and rhizomes of this vegetable are edible, and the folk also use it to pickle pickles.
After asking about the cultivation and planting method of this wild vegetable, Zhuge Liang popularized it in the army, and large-scale planting could not only supplement the military rations, but also serve as forage and feed livestock, which was economical, and the grain and grass in the army were sufficient, which also greatly reduced the burden of the people.
Since it is a vegetable grown by Zhuge Liang, it is naturally called Zhuge cuisine.
Li Mi heard this relationship, and his heart was also full of thoughts, for fear that there would be any more omissions, so he checked the corpse with the old servants again, and then left.
After returning to his residence, Li Mi called Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu over, and after some inquiry, he couldn't get a satisfactory answer.
Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu are from Wei Ying, Zhen Mi later defected to Zhou Yu and worked for Wu Ying, but as Zhen Mi said earlier, Shu Ying is the most low-key and mysterious force, and they don't know much about the people in Shu Ying.
After all, Shu Ying has always been regarded as orthodox, and the old people of Tianji Society are also very partial to Shu Ying, and the establishment of the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty is mostly due to the righteousness of Shu Ying, and the risk of being divided by Wei Ying and Wu Ying allowed the Han people to establish an orthodox dynasty.
If there is no accident, the emperor of the dynasty should also cooperate with the people of Shuying, but this time Zhou Yu took the lead, no wonder Zhou Yu is so proud.
As for whether there is the role of Zhuge Liang in the Shu camp, Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu are not sure, they only say that there is only one Xu Shu they have come into contact with, who is the most important strategist and the only one who comes out to walk in the Shu camp.
But they only heard the news, and even they hadn't seen this Xu Shu.
When Li Mi told the two about the seed, Zhen Mi and Qin Liangyu had different opinions.
Zhen Mi's thoughts are the same as Li Mi's earlier, although this kind of child has special intentions, there is no doubt that the murderer has psychological problems, as long as Ermanur tortures him to extract a confession, he will naturally know the answer.
Qin Liangyu believes that Yang Zhenfan, the person who brought the case against the Institute of Justice, should not be the murderer, but he is afraid that the murderer is deliberately misleading Li Mi.
She wasn't sure if the murderer would be from Shu Ying, but she came up with a fresh idea.
This Tiger Hill Poetry Meeting is set on the twenty-fifth day of the first month, but this Japan should be the Warehouse Filling Festival, the influence of the Poetry Club is too great, Suzhou people participate in the grand event, but they forget the traditional festival of the Warehouse Filling Festival!
Therefore, the murderer should be a defender of traditional culture, and he wants to attract the attention of the people, so that they can return to the Warehouse Filling Festival, and not forget the Warehouse Filling Festival because of the poetry meeting.
This motive is more appropriate than the motive that Li Mi thought of!
It's just that according to Qin Liangyu's thoughts, the murderer is a defender, who worships seeds, food, and traditional cultural festivals, so he should be a stubborn and old-fashioned old feudal.
And Yang Zhenfan and the entourage also fell for the murderer's design, and Li Mi and others were seriously misled.
If that were the case, then the man would be hard to find.
Because with a suspect like Yang Zhenfan in front, everything is in line, except for this kind of sub, there are no other clues to find the real murderer.
After all, this Zhuge dish is everywhere, and there is nothing special about it, so you can't find the murderer just by relying on one motive, right?
After all, Gusu City has a long history and deep origins, such old antiques and defenders are only afraid of being like stars in the sky, how can they find a needle in a haystack?
