Chapter XVII: Hannibal
"What happened to the cursed woman?"
"Missing."
"Missing?"
"It was not long after the corn was born, and the corn was sick, and the mayor took the corn to the big city to see a doctor, and she was left alone in the town. Strange to say, no one noticed when she disappeared, whether she left by herself, or was she captured? During that time, everyone was living in a dream, and the mayor returned to find her missing, which was the moment when he woke up from the dream, and then the mayor died of depression, and Corn became an orphan. ”
"You seem to know a lot about them, detective."
The detective's turquoise face actually climbed a little crimson, "Like I said, there are a few men in this town who don't like her!" ”
"And how is Wu Zhu now?"
"Lord Wu Zhu passed away a few years ago."
"Then in the town now, is there still a witch wish?"
"No, Lord Wu Zhu's inheritance will be broken in our generation."
"Then this inheritance... Why...? ”
"It is said that it is also related to a prophecy of Lord Wu Zhu, anyway, it is up to Lord Wu Zhu to decide not to inherit it himself."
Sugarcane and Yuhua got a huge physical evidence bag out of nowhere, and packed all the corpses of corn, and Zhang Xiaofei had already taken pictures of the murder scene before that.
When the five men had gathered all the clues at the scene, they returned to their previous quarters, ready to have a dinner party for the detectives on the existing clues.
As for why there is such a thing as a detective's dinner, of course, it was decided by Xue Fei's brain as soon as his mind was hot, saying that our lives need some sense of ritual and the like.
Xue Fei said that if he wanted to make a dinner party, he was not the kind of person who only had a mouth and no action, so he immediately prepared the kitchenware and started cooking.
Some people may be curious, didn't you say that Xue Fei was a dead house ordering takeout before? How is it possible to cook?
Then you are mistaken, a common sense mistake, the person who orders the takeout may be a guy who can't cook, or a lazy guy who doesn't want to cook.
Xue Fei is obviously the kind of person who can cook and make it delicious, but he orders takeout every day because he is lazy.
Okay, let's get down to business. Xue Fei, who was busy with his work, put the sumptuous meal on the table, and the players had already taken their seats and brought their latest information, it is worth mentioning that in this fruit life world, the things they eat are still the common fruits and vegetables, and I don't know what those aborigines are thinking about when they eat, and whether they will feel guilty in their hearts.
The small squad leader told the story he had learned from the detective and summed up a few questions.
1. Why does corn go out at night when no one is out? Whether or not there was a direct link between his outing and his killing.
2. Is the death of corn related to the Wuzhu lineage? Could there be a villager who is extremely superstitious about witch wishes and actually kills corn because of that prophecy? Or is it possible that Maize went to find someone related to Wu Zhu to take revenge, but was killed in the process of revenge?
3. Was the disappearance of Maize's mother her own choice or was she murdered? If it was murdered, is it possible that the murderer killed the corn again?
4. Is it possible that everything the detective said was false?
Zhang Xiaofei also sorted out all the clues about the constellations in his hand.
"After inquiry, it can be determined that corn is Sagittarius, and according to the time setting of this world, the children born during this time are all Sagittarius. What we have to think about about the constellation is, is this the murderer's bad taste for a while, or is the murderer ready to kill twelve people according to the constellation? ”
"What I'm going to say next may affect everyone's appetite, so if anyone thinks it's bad, bring it up now." After Sugarcane raised his head and looked around, he saw that no one objected and began his own narration: "After I brought the body back with Yuhua, I did some simple examinations, of course I am not Sherlock Holmes nor a professional forensic doctor, I don't understand where the fatal wound is, but I also have my findings, and after we put all the corpses together, we found an interesting fact, that is, this corpse is incomplete." ”
“???? It can't be that! As if he suddenly remembered something, Xue Fei asked with a frightened expression.
"Yes, that's it. Do you know Hannibal? Hannibal is a portrayed serial murderer who has a characteristic of killing people by always taking a piece from his victim's body and eating it after cooking. Our case today is similar to Hannibal's, where the mutilated parts of the corpse are the parts that are well suited to be eaten. ”
"Personally, I think Corn's death should have been a random process, he should have been caught and killed by a psychopathic murderer, and it had nothing to do with that curse or prophecy or anything like that."
"If it was really a random killing, how could it be so coincidental to kill a very controversial figure? Is it possible that the murderer just wanted to kill the corn, and that the crime scene was just made to divert our attention? ”
"Then the reverse can be established, the murderer simply wants to kill, and killing corn is just to use corn's special identity to confuse the public."
Seeing that Xue Fei and the little squad leader were about to quarrel, Zhang Xiaofei hurriedly interrupted their topic, "Whatever you say is possible, after all, let's not talk about the murderer now, and there is no news of the suspect, so I think it is more important for us to have a good rest now, and then go out tomorrow to look for clues." ”
And so the dinner ended in an atmosphere that was not very pleasant.
Zhang Xiaofei went directly to Xue Fei's room, "Did you notice anything?" You're not usually the one who can lift this kind of bar. ”
Xue Fei was already surprised by Zhang Xiaofei's unscrupulous intrusion, and did not protest again, "This case makes me feel that something is not right, but I can't say it clearly." ”
"Without the support of professional technology and professional equipment, this case is quite difficult."
"No, that's not what I'm talking about, I'm not a detective, not even a mystery enthusiast, but the job of writing novels has given me a special instinct about characters and events, and we have collected a lot of things at the first scene of the case, to a strange extent." Xue Fei habitually scratched his head as he spoke, "There is a logical and self-consistent story from the little squad leader, but that story is incompatible with the whole incident, so what is the significance of this story?" Because you can't forget that we're playing games right now, and each game will have its own internal logic inside. ”
"So you're coming to a conclusion again?"
"Nope." After saying that, there was no word, and Xue Fei spread it out on the bed with a helpless face. "Let's wait for the next plot development!"
