Passing through the hallway where the shoe and hat racks are placed, the first thing you will see is the living room.

Following the strong smell of blood, An Yizhi also saw the corpse.

The victim is a husband and wife, the woman was hung by the murderer with a fine hemp rope on the chandelier on the roof, and the man was lying on her side, staring at his wife's dangling feet with empty eyes.

You can also see a lot of guards at the scene, such as taking pictures with photographing and the like.

Everyone was busy, and An Yizhi didn't bother anyone, first looking around the entire crime scene, and then focusing on the corpse.

Carefully bypassing the blood stains on the floor, Ann pointed at the hanging female corpse and reached out and pressed it on her cheek.

There is still residual warmth, and the muscles are not stiff, indicating that the time of death is about 1 hour, and the maximum error will not exceed 3 hours.

After all, you are not a professional forensic doctor, and you can do this with hobbyist-level knowledge.

Then again, An Yizhi is not professional, but these guards are real experts.

Compared with the criminal police who use various high-tech means to solve cases in reality, their counterparts in the wizarding world also have their own means of pride.

- Necromancy.

Although necromancers are famous, if they are allowed to use necromancy to work forensic doctors and criminal police, after all, they can make the dead speak.

It's just that because it's in the wizarding world, the murderer must be prepared.

An Yizhi has the Book of the Dead, he can see the soul of the deceased, it stands to reason that this kind of death time is not more than 3 hours, and it is in vain that the soul of the deceased should still be wandering near the corpse, but An Yizhi looked around and did not find any trace of the soul.

The other party must have used some means to send the soul away after killing someone, and there are many such means, special weapons, poisons, spells, and even simple magic props can do it.

However, this also shows that the murderer is indeed a habitual offender, and if it was a temporary impulsive killing, he would never have prepared so much.

Because the soul is not there, the guards may not get any useful information by using necromancy to make the corpse speak, and if the soul is lost and only the body, at most they can only get a few fragments before death, which is not of much help to the search.

So An Yizhi looked down and saw that there was a cut wound on the neck of the female corpse, and a puncture wound on the heart, both of which were fatal, and a large amount of blood would drip down her clothes, staining the heavy carpet under her feet, and even the carpet was full of blood.

The wound on the male victim's side was similar, with a slight difference in location, but in general it was a double fatal wound to the neck + heart.

It's just that the direction of the flesh from the wound is a bit strange, especially on the neck.

The uneven layers of the wounds indicate that the murder weapon was not a particularly sharp knife, but the wound on the heart was very neat, and even the sternum was neatly cut.

Taking two steps back, Ann turned his head to look elsewhere.

On the left side of the living room is the kitchen, on the side is the toilet, and on the other side is a master bedroom and a guest bedroom, a standard two-bedroom living room.

He saw a kitchen knife drop in front of the kitchen door.

Different from the square-headed kitchen knife of the Celestial Empire, this kitchen knife is more like a longer dagger, which can be used as a murder weapon, and An Yizhi also saw that the kitchen knife was stained with a lot of blood.

But this did not match the wound on the corpse's chest.

The wound on the victim's heart is more like a wound made by the tip of a spear, and the blade is supposed to be in the shape of a cross, which is impossible to make with a kitchen knife alone.

Two different wounds, the conclusion is obvious, there are two murder weapons.

Why? Just the murderer's interest?

You can't fathom what a psychopathic serial killer is thinking, but it's a doubt.

Putting aside the kitchen knife that had fallen in front of the kitchen door, Ann glanced inside the kitchen with one finger.

It was a narrow, long-supple kitchen with what appeared to be a refrigerator and gas stove, and while it was functionally similar, it was supposed to be magic-driven.

There is indeed a knife missing from the knife holder on the cooking table, and the shape should be the same, but there is no cross-shaped murder weapon guessed by An Yizhi.

He opened the refrigerator and saw that it was fully stocked, and it was estimated that the two of them planned to spend the Midsummer Festival at home, and they didn't want to run out and crowd people at this time.

It's easy to understand, because Lin Linglin and An Yizhi spend their holidays like this.

In the corner of the wall are easy-to-store vegetables such as flour bags and unprocessed potatoes and onions, and there is a dog bowl behind the door near the door, in which some leftovers of dog food have not been cleaned up.

Seeing that there were no clues in the kitchen, Ann turned to leave, just in time to see Kara coming with a blank face.

An Yizhi only then remembered that he seemed to be the bodyguard of this eldest sister, and the bodyguard who left his employer to investigate the case was probably the only one he had.

However, Kara's face is not good-looking, not because Ann left her alone, but because of the corpse.

Even the students of the military academy obviously have not seen the corpses with their own eyes, and their main job in the future will be to sit in the rear and give orders, and basically have no chance to go to the battlefield in person, so naturally they are not psychologically prepared for this.

Especially in these two bodies, the wounds on the neck and heart were not so much fatal as more like the murderer deliberately used to bleed, and the blood stained almost half of the living room.

Compared with An Yizhi, who grew up baptized by all kinds of blood hula B-grade films, the first time he saw a corpse, it was so exciting, and Kara was already strong if she didn't vomit.

She walked to the side of An Yizhi, tried not to look at the corpse, and whispered:

"I just asked the first discoverer, they are students who came here to find the victim to tutor, according to their testimony, both victims have a good temper, and they have never heard of anyone who has made a feud."

"But there were no gems found at the scene that appeared every time in the serial murder case, so we can't combine them for the time being, right?"

Carla nodded, this is indeed a problem.

The serial killer who was at large in the imperial capital before would leave magic gems that matched the identity of the victim at the scene after each crime, and would put the victim's body in a specific pose to satisfy his perverted psychology.

This time, one of the victims was hanged, but the other was just lying on the carpet in a slightly different posture. The most important thing is that no gems were found.

Was it the serial killer who couldn't find the gems to throw away, or was there a copycat?

I always feel like things are getting more and more complicated, and the multiverse dungeon shouldn't be just a matter of meeting, right?

With this complaint, An Yizhi went into the toilet and the two bedrooms to take a look, but did not find any special clues, nor did he find any spilled blood.

The scene of the crime was in the living room near the kitchen, and the killer did not seem to have left the vicinity.

He had carefully observed the wooden floor, which was old, but still smooth and well maintained, and the first discoverer said that the family had a good temper and should have some credibility.

Husbands and wives inevitably quarrel with each other, and there should be some traces of smashing things on the wooden floor, but this thing has not been found.

By the way, An Yi pointed out that this would never happen in their family, and he usually gave in after being beaten......

And there weren't any bloody footprints on the floor, which was amazing.

The two victims were bleeding so much that the carpet beneath them and the floor beyond the carpet were red, and it could be said that less than half of the living room was covered in blood.

The murderer hung the female victim on the chandelier, not to mention whether he used magic or physical strength, it was indeed a little strange that there was no blood stained with so much blood.

An Yizhi was pondering some suspicions, the guard side didn't care about so much, and would inform Kara purely for the sake of the Duke of Westford's family, they would not listen to Kara's command.

The on-site evidence collection was almost done, and the guards decided to remove the body and send it to a professional person, whether it was necromancy or other spells, to investigate in detail and accurately what happened to the deceased before his death.

Together, the two guards lifted the body of the male victim and placed it on a prepared stretcher, and at the same time, everyone saw something shining underneath the body.

Ann was quick enough to react, and he stepped up with an arrow, almost stepping on the blood-stained carpet to look at the glittering object.

That's a gem.

[Two pieces of cold jadeite, the quality is okay, but because it is stained with blood, its function as a magic material may be greatly weakened]

Hela judged in psychic communication.

Cold Emerald is a relatively common magic gem, ground into powder mixed with special blood can be used as ink to draw specific spell scrolls, and because it needs to be mixed with special blood, once it is stained with the blood of other creatures, it is useless, and it is very difficult to remove.

"It's cold jadeite, and its value is lower than the fire agate that appeared recently, so it can basically be dealt with together."

Ann turned his head to Kara, who was one step late, and then asked:

"However, according to the information in the dossier, it seems that there has never been a case of a gem being found under the victim's body before."

"Indeed, in the past, gems were found near the bodies of the victims, and they were all kept preciously."

An Yizhi thought about it, he walked to the entrance and asked the two students waiting at the door:

"Does your teacher have a dog at home?"

The two looked at each other and nodded:

"It's a very big dog, the teacher said that it was his lucky star, and he was rescued by it when he fell into the water and almost drowned when he was a child."

Dogs in the wizarding world live too long, right?

Anyway, it's magical, so don't worry about the details.

An Yizhi continued to ask:

"Did you see the dog?"

"Nope."

Really!

Then he turned back to the living room, and Kara asked suspiciously:

"What do you ask dogs about?"

"Just to confirm."
