10. Cold Noodles Han Dang • Mysterious Ice Corpse

When the three of them came to the flower picking building, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon. Han Dang came very early, he had already asked for some wine and food, and ate and drank by himself.

The owner of the flower picking building is a native of Yangzhou, and he operates Yangzhou dishes, the dishes are exquisite, the taste is salty and slightly sweet, the taste is light and tender, and he pays great attention to the original taste of the ingredients. Different from the spicy and bold dishes of the Western Regions, it is more loved by the best people among gourmets.

Although it is a troubled time, the owner of this flower-picking building is also an unusual character, who has already dredged the joints and ensured that he uses delicious ingredients produced in Jiangnan.

Han was over fifty years old and indifferent, and Yangzhou cuisine was naturally more suitable for his taste at this time. He came before noon, and he estimated that Xian Yuyan would not come too early. I first ordered a stewed crab roe lion's head, a three-set duck, a plate of crystal meat, and a pot of flower carving, and poured myself to drink. A sixteen or seventeen-year-old Fanghua girl, sitting on the top of the building with a pipa in her arms, gently twisting and slowly wiping and picking, playing a piece of "Neon Clothes and Feather Clothes Song".

The more you are alone, the more you must know how to enjoy. What's more, an old man who is used to seeing the wind and rain in the capital.

Guo Yu and Han Dang are naturally no strangers, and not long after meeting Xian Yuyan, Xian Yuyan introduced Han Dang to him. Although there is a huge difference in age, they have the same tongue and stomach, but they are the same.

"Old Han, several court officials have died one after another in your jurisdiction, are you still in the mood to drink?" said Xian Yuyan teasing him.

"Go, go, go, and don't be afraid to dirty this delicious food and wine. If you want to talk nonsense again, you will be ordered to blast you out. Han didn't raise his head, said with a smile and joked, picked up a piece of meat and put it in his mouth, just waiting for the two of them to sit down by themselves, and Qibao also sat in a corner.

A few people added a few new Yangzhou special dishes to Xiao Er, and they were about to eat, and they didn't propose vulgar affairs during the banquet, but talked about some things like the wind and snow.

Han Danggu eats and drinks by himself, he is a taciturn person, even if he talks, he is also how the wine and food are cooked, and he understands the five flavors of delicacies, so he can be regarded as a friend with the two, in addition, I don't see who he has any relationship with.

The palace of the right Jin Wuwei is also an hour away from the flower picking building. After lunch, Han Dang led a few people through the streets and alleys and paced back.

On the way, Xian Yuyan told Han Dang about the strange things that happened in Xu Qiuchi's mansion in a few words. After hearing this, Han Dang's brows tightened, and there was a trace of disappointment on his face. Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan paced leisurely, but they didn't notice the strangeness on Han Dang's face.

Han Dang, born with a thin and tall figure, is directly two and a half heads taller than Xian Yuyan, and walks on the road like a robe hanging on a flagpole. It was okay for him and Xian Yuyan to go alone, and walking together would inevitably attract the squinting eyes of passers-by.

In the back hall of the palace, there were several houses, which were originally used as a place for the guards on night duty to rest and for the chief to stay. In the past few years, it has also been used by Han Dang as his own home and lives there all year round.

He has not yet married, and has only one brother, who serves in Shaofu Temple. Shaofu Temple is the government that manages the craftsmen of the imperial family. The brothers were both ingenious people when they were young, and the two had a good relationship. It's just that the older he gets, his brother is already full of children and grandchildren, and he is inconvenient, and he doesn't want to live with his brother anymore, so he regards this right Jin Wuwei's mansion as his home.

There is a small door next to the back hall, and when you open the door, you will find a courtyard with three tall tiled houses, which are the places where all kinds of old physical evidence and archives are stored. The tall house shaded the sunlight, so as soon as I entered the courtyard, I felt a little cold.

There is a pavilion in the courtyard. It's also strange, what's the use of such a pavilion? There are all kinds of bloodstained murder weapons in the warehouse, and with this gloomy and clammy atmosphere, I'm afraid that no one will dare to come to this pavilion to raise a glass to invite the moon, right? However, looking at Han Dang in front of him, I felt in my heart that it was not impossible.

Guo Hua knew Han Dang, but most of them were at the banquet, and the talk was all about the wind and snow. When he followed Han Dang into the mansion of the Right Jin Wuwei, in his thin back, he seemed to see another person.

Behind the other side of the amiable elegance, a Han Dang who is full of power. That's right, not just because of the height, but the power that lies in the body, a power that is fascinating and somewhat mysterious.

Guo Hua, this is the first time to be here. Naturally, I thought about it a lot. When they walked to the pavilion, Han Dang waved his hand, and everyone stopped. Supporting the pavilion are four stone pillars, one of which has a solitary iron ring.

Guo Yu probably understood in his heart, seeing that Han Dang stretched out his hand to pull the iron ring, a stone slab in the center of the pavilion moved, revealing a section of stone steps, and below was a black hole and a cold cellar, I don't know how deep it is.

Guo Yu instructed Qibao to stay outside and wait, and he followed Han Dang and Xian Yuyan down to the cellar.

After about thirty steps, the three of them stopped, and there was a door in front of them, which looked very heavy. Standing underground is extremely cold, and the weather in early autumn should not be so cold even in the cellar. Come to think of it, there was something strange in the cellar.

The passage of the stone steps was straight, so there was still some light shining through, and Han Dang took out the fire fold and lit a torch next to the door. When the fire lit up, you could see that there was a thick quilt nailed to the door, and it seemed that the clammy and cold breath seemed to come from this quilt.

There was a brass lock hanging from the door, and under the firelight, it could be seen that the place where it had been rubbed all year round was a little shiny, and it seemed that it was to be opened and used frequently.

Han Dang didn't unlock the lock, the handle pointed obliquely inward, it turned out that the place in front of this door was not small, and there were several collars of cotton cloaks hanging on the wall away from the cellar door on one side, Xian Yuyan touched Guo Yu, meaning to ask him to wrap in a cotton cloak. The three of them were wrapped in cotton cloaks, and Han Dang took off the torches, unlocked them, and opened the door to let the two in.

The cotton cloak was placed in the cold ground, and it was not very warm when it was first put on. When I entered the door, I couldn't help but be glad that I still had this cloak. Inside the cellar, it was unusually cold, like a cold winter.

It's a very small cellar. The thought in Guo Hua's heart just passed, but it was withdrawn, and it turned out to be just a passage. Ten paces later, there was another door, also nailed with a quilt, and an almost identical copper lock hung there.

At this time, Han Dang, who was talking and laughing and tasting wine and talking about the moon in Guo Hua's heart, had gone away with this cold breath, and in front of that thin back, what kind of face would it be when he turned around? He couldn't help but shudder.

The second door opened, and as soon as Han Dang entered the door with a torch, the house was suddenly filled with fire. This underground is really a very vast place, and there are thousands of torches burning in front of you, and the scene is very spectacular.

A cold current hit, only to realize that something was wrong. Looking closely, there was only a torch in Han Dang's hand, and the torches in front of him were all its shadows.

It turned out that the four walls of this place, as well as the dome, were filled with bronze mirrors, and in the middle were more than a dozen huge rows of ice, which were piled up in the shape of a three-grid cabinet. These bronze mirrors and ice cubes reflect each other's torches, and there are thousands of torches burning at the same time.

Guo Hua sighed in his heart, this place is empty and deep, and there are too many torches, which will inevitably melt the ice, and if there is less, it will hinder the vision. It's just that such a large amount of ice cubes can't be used even in your own house, and in the middle of summer, when it's hot, you can only use more than 30 pieces. I don't know where Han Dang got these ice cubes!

Proprietary vendors store ice in winter and deliver it to the prince's mansion in summer, and the price is naturally extremely high.

Han Dang stuck the torch in a copper lampholder. The two of them walked towards a row of freezers.

It turned out that those freezers were full of corpses.

The bodies of Tian Mosang and his wife did not attract attention at the time and had already been buried. The bodies of Yuwenlei's father and son and the old and young ladies were arranged to be stored in Youjin Wuwei by Yuwenlei's younger brother, saying that they would be buried after finding out the cause of death, and he was very suspicious that his brother and nephew died unexpectedly.

Han Dang walked in front and stopped in front of several corpses, two female corpses were wrapped in linen, and two male corpses* were held, which should be the bodies of the Yuwen family. Han Dang turned his face, and Guo Yu saw that his face had become very cold, and his sword eyebrows were like knives, cutting people's hearts.

"We have inspected the situation in the Yuwen Mansion, and there is nothing out of the ordinary. The only anomaly was that the four bodies had no visible injuries, no signs of any kind of trauma, and no signs of poisoning were detected. After the narrow blade penetrates the human body with a very fast technique, it is indeed difficult to find the wounds on the body, but there will inevitably be signs of bleeding in the internal organs; no matter how clever the poison in the world is, even if it is non-toxic, colorless, and tasteless before use, after poisoning, the viscera, eyes, and nose will inevitably have all kinds of abnormalities. Han Dang pointed to the corpse and said to the two.

Guo Yu was unsure in his heart, and his brows tightened. However, Xian Yuyan noticed something and said, "Old Han, have you already discovered something?" Xian Yuyan's voice was actually full of concern. Guo Yu became even more suspicious, that kind of heartfelt concern was not for this case, but more like for Han Dang himself.

Han Dang didn't answer, and his face was cold, as if all the emotions in the world were frozen by this ice cave.

He took a small bag from his bosom and opened it, revealing a steel needle, a needle as thin as a pig's bristle but incomparably hard.

"This is what I took from Yu Wenying. Han Dang said, handing the needle to the two of them, both of them were a little shocked, such a needle can kill with a single needle!

Han Dang put away the needle, and took out a wooden box that was less than an inch thick and less than a palm wide, and there was no cumbersome inlay decoration on the wooden box, but it had the brightness that had been played with for more than ten years, moist and clear, and very beautiful. When I opened it, there was a Sinan inside.

Sinan in the Tang Dynasty followed the old system, mostly on a copper plate that was polished smooth as a mirror, and placed a spoon carved from magnets, and positioned the north and south with the spoon bing.

The Sinan in Han Dang's hand is extremely exquisitely made, about the size of a hand, held in the palm of his hand, small and cute. The chassis is carved with white jade, and inlaid with cinnabar: eight stems, A, B, C, D, geng, Xin and non Huang, four dimensions, Qiankun Xungen, twelve branches, Zi Chou Yin Mao Chen, Si Wu Wuhai, a total of 24 directions.

The magnetic spoon, which is as black as ink, is also very ingenious and delicate. Guo Hua has always liked to be curious and skillful, and he couldn't help but be attracted by the little Sinan in front of him.

Han Dang held Sinan in his palm and stopped a foot away from Yuwenlei's head. After the magnetic spoon stabilized, and then gently pushed forward, at this time, all three of them seemed to have lost their breath.

Han Dang slowly brought Sinan closer to •••••• five inches, four inches, three inches, two inches, just when Sinan was about two inches close to Yuwenlei's scalp, the thin handle of the small spoon suddenly moved, and the direction was off, Han Dang then moved Sinan up and down, left and right, and finally set a position on Yuwenlei's scalp, Han Dang took out a silver needle for acupuncture and pressed it there as a mark.

Han Dang carefully took Sinan back to the wooden box and began to grope carefully where the silver needle was marked, Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan still held their breath and looked at it seriously.

Even if the hair of the parents of the body is affected by the skin, the hair cannot be easily shaved, and the internal organs after the autopsy and examination must be completely sutured and restored to their original shape.

At this time, Guo Yu and Xian Yuyan already had some eyebrows in their hearts. It seems that the murderer first used incense to make people deeply sleepy, and then used a steel needle to nail into the heart of the person. In this way, there will be no symptoms of bleeding, and there will be no ulceration of the internal organs, because there is medicine to suppress the pain, and it will not cause the distortion of the body shape. Coupled with the demon omen of the night trial of King Yama before, people will only think that they were really taken by black and white impermanence, and they will not suspect that it was done by man. It truly kills people silently, invisibly, and without a trace.

This is indeed the almost perfect method of killing people in the world. But how did Lao Han find out? Moreover, it seems that he has already found out.

Han Dang found a position, took out sharp pliers, slowly inserted a section, and with a force, pulled out a steel needle, exactly the same as just now.

Han Dang glanced at the two of them and saw the doubts in their hearts. He didn't rush to say anything more to the two. Instead, he turned and walked away, walking towards a corner where only he had ever been. There, there was a separate freezer, and there was also a corpse there.

As early as many years ago, Xian Yuyan knew that there was an extraordinary ice corpse there. The first time he walked into the cave, he found it and wanted to see it.

It's just that before he got close to the ice corpse, Han Dang stopped him angrily, and Xian Yuyan was frightened. Although he also had curiosity later, thinking about Han Dang's face as angry as Shura, he suppressed it.

At this time, Han Dang actually walked towards the ice corpse. Xian Yuyan was stunned, he didn't move, Guo Yu didn't move, Guo Yu came here for the first time, so look at Xian Yuyan's face and act. In Xian Yuyan's memory, when outsiders were present, Han Dang did not allow others to approach him, and he would not approach it at will. Could it be that the ice corpse from many years ago was also involved in this case?

Han Dang took a few steps, turned back indifferently, motioned for the two to follow, and then turned around again and walked towards the corpse.

It is said to be a corner, compared to the simple stacked freezer in the middle, this is a prosperous place. Under the freezer, there is a stone pedestal, a railing, a hu bed, a table, a harp, an incense burner, and a vase. The flowers in the vase are strangely open, very bright, and seem to be diligent in changing.

The ice material used to carve this freezer is also clearer, larger, and closed on all sides. Through the ice wall, you can clearly see that there is a woman of eighteen or nineteen years old lying inside, and you can even see her beautiful face with a kind smile.

Xian Yuyan was the first to be shocked. For the first time, he saw such a beautiful woman in this freezer.
