Chapter 5: Blood Butterfly
[The book continues from the above, and the last book said that after Mu Qingming corrected Zhao Liang's wrong direction of thinking, he went straight to the two fathers who reported the case. After some detailed questioning, one of them was directly identified as the participant of the sunken corpse. And after identifying that the other party was an Immortal Sect disciple, he whispered something in his ear, which frightened the disciple into a daze. After drawing out Mu Qingming's point that the person who broke the sinking corpse was Daddy Liu, Liu Yang, the brother of the king, was surprised, and Mu Qingming then explained why Daddy Liu was a corpse sinking man, Daddy Liu took advantage of the chaos to jump into the lotus pond and fled along the dark river connected to the Panlong River in the pool. Zhao Liang and other policemen did not know that Father Liu had escaped from the dark river, and Xingshi mobilized the groundwater to pursue him. Mu Qingming had been staying on the shore to watch, but he inadvertently saw a blood-colored butterfly, which immediately aroused his interest. 】
When Daddy Liu was shocked, Mu Qingming had already removed his mouth from his ear, and looked at Daddy Liu, who was getting more and more frightened, with a smile.
The sharp gaze that burst out of his eyes seemed to be saying to Daddy Liu: "Don't pretend, I know everything." "Same.
Father Liu came to his senses after a while, and was about to pretend to be stupid and ask Mu Qingming why he was staring at him, but under the confused gaze of Zhao Liang and them, Mu Qingming took a step ahead of Father Liu and slowly said, "You also participated in the corpse sinking, right?" ”。
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Liang and other policemen were shocked and opened their lips slightly, and at the same time issued a "Huh? An exclamation.
They looked at Mu Qingming's confusion, getting heavier and heavier. Then Brother Wang walked up with a smile and said slowly, "Young Master Mu, you're afraid you're mistaken, right?" Daddy Liu was the one who found the floating corpse, and he also came to report the crime. If he is the murderer of the sunken corpse, isn't he throwing himself into the net by doing so? ”。
His words were immediately nodded in agreement by other policemen, including Zhao Liang.
Indeed, if Daddy Liu is the murderer, then wouldn't it be tantamount to suing himself if he reported the case again?
Liu Yang also walked over and whispered in Mu Qingming's ear: "Young Master Mu, you can't talk nonsense about this." In case you have wronged someone, an apology is indispensable. ”。
Mu Qingming didn't think much of his reminder, but after smiling indifferently, he said slowly to Father Liu, Zhao Liang, Liu Yang and the others: "You might as well take a look first, how far is this from the land of floating corpses?" ”。
Although I don't know why Mu Qingming suddenly asked like this, everyone still visually measured the distance, and then said, "There are still more than ten zhang." ”。
"Well, the distance between fifteen and twenty zhang or so." After Mu Qingming lightly tilted his head, he moved his gaze to Daddy Liu's face, and asked leisurely: "May I ask Daddy Liu, did you say that it was the floating corpse you saw here when you got up at night?" ”。
These were all messages he asked on the way to the gate of the garden. Not long ago, Daddy Liu specially told him that it is easy for people to get up at night when they are old, but foreigners do not allow them to release water in the garden, so they can only soak in the wild outside the garden.
Although he had already sensed Mu Qingming's deep 'malice', Father Liu, who still didn't know the reason, still nodded, and then asked rhetorically, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”。
"We all know that winter nights are darker, it's so dark, and it's so far away. Even if a corpse emerges, you may not be able to see it clearly, right? After Mu Qingming smiled slightly, he raised his hand and pointed to the place where the floating corpse was: "Besides, there are many withered lotus flowers in the pond now, and there are a lot of reeds on the shore, and the trees all around, especially the dead branches of these willows, are all obstacles to your vision, so how did you see through these and the darkness what happened on the water more than a dozen zhang away?" ”。
As soon as these words came out, King Zhao Liang and his brother immediately realized.
As Mu Qingming said, if it is reasonable during the day, but at night, it is dark all around, and the visibility is so low, how can you see floating corpses?
Thinking of this, the policemen all looked at Daddy Liu with vigilant eyes.
And Daddy Liu was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute. What Mu Qingming said was reasonable, but he didn't expect such a small detail to be exposed.
Originally, it was just a night of getting up, because of the reason that he was very uneasy, and he went to see if there was anything unusual in the sinking corpse, but he didn't expect the sinking corpse to float, in order to clear the suspicion, Daddy Liu simply woke up Daddy Zeng, and took the other party to see the floating corpse and went to the police first.
He wanted to use this to get by, but he didn't expect to be seen by Mu Qingming.
"But since Daddy Liu can't see the floating corpse here, he should have seen it when he went to the vicinity of the floating corpse site." At the same time, Liu Yang, who has always paid attention to evidence, pondered for a long time, and then asked thoughtfully: "Why does he not sleep at night, why did he run to the sinking corpse site when he had nothing to do?" ”。
While speaking, Liu Yang couldn't help but raise his eyes to look at the place of the floating corpse; The distance between this place and the floating corpse site is more than ten zhang in a straight line, but it is impossible for a person to walk on the surface of the water, once it is bypassed from the shore.
If you want to go around, the distance is more than ten feet.
This just shows that he was involved in the sinking of the corpse, and he had to go to inspect the corpse before it was completely eaten by the fish in the water. Only when you are prepared can you feel at ease. Zhao Liang, who got Mu Qingming's order, immediately took over and replied: "In this way, you can also take precautions, in case you find that the sunken corpse is floating, take the lead in thinking of countermeasures and clear yourself up." ”。
His words were also immediately nodded in agreement by Mu Qingming.
This question made Daddy Liu even more speechless, and a layer of fine cold sweat oozed from his forehead.
When Father Liu was silent, Mu Qingming walked to the small boat that stopped on the shore, pointed to the scratches left on the side of the boat, and after telling his conjecture, he told Zhao Liang that they must have used this boat to sink the corpse.
After analyzing them one by one, Mu Qingming spread his hands, looked at Daddy Liu with interest and said slowly: "Unfortunately, on the night of the corpse, according to Daddy Zeng, he and Daddy Liu both fell asleep because they drank too much. After hearing this, do you think that there are so many coincidences in the world? On the day when someone's body sank, Daddy Liu, who was most likely to be a witness, and Daddy Zeng drank too much together. ”。
Saying this, Mu Qingming slowly walked to Father Liu and stood still.
Then he paused, looked at Daddy Liu's rosacea and asked thoughtfully: "Your alcohol consumption has been very good in the past, and Daddy Zeng has also said this, but why was it not good that night?" ”。
"It's really hard to say how much alcohol you have, maybe it's because the wine was strong that day, right?" Daddy Liu subconsciously touched his nose and laughed, and then reached out and scratched his head a few times.
"Really? Then how come I smell the sweat medicine in your hands and in the jar? Mu Qingming, who was staring at him, asked rhetorically: "Is it really that the amount of alcohol is not good, or is it because of the effect of sweat medicine that you fell asleep?" ”。
The faint pungent taste he asked about earlier was the taste of sweat medicine. Because of the mandala pollen in it, the sweat medicine has a faint pungent taste.
As soon as these words came out, Daddy Liu, whose eyebrows were pulled upward, couldn't help but glance at his hands that had begun to grow wrinkles and had dirt in his nails.
"To sum up, you should have washed your hands beforehand, Daddy Gardener." After Mu Qingming teased, he immediately said solemnly: "In order to make it easier for you to sink the corpse, you put sweat medicine in the wine that night; Then Daddy Zeng, who should have had a good amount of wine, actually poured three bowls. And your father Liu pretended to be drunk after taking sweat medicine because he wanted to sink the corpse. In this way, no one will see your sunken corpse. ”。
Liu Yang immediately took the wine jar from Zhao Liang's hand, and after sniffing it carefully, he also smelled a faint pungent taste; Then he put down the wine jar and took Daddy Liu's hand and sniffed it, then let go and nodded to Zhao Liang and said, "It does have a pungent taste, it seems to be the pollen of mandala flowers." ”。
He is a forensic doctor who has stayed abroad, although he can't smell it is the sweat medicine circulating in the rivers and lakes, but he knows that it is the pollen smell of mandala flowers, which has the effect of paralyzing nerves.
It was confirmed at the moment, and Zhao Liang was no longer confused, staring at Daddy Liu, who was getting more and more panicked, and said word by word: "Then Daddy Liu, please go back to the Provincial Police Department with us for a cup of tea." ”。
As he was talking, Daddy Liu suddenly stretched out his hand and pushed Mu Qingming suddenly, and rushed forward.
Mu Qing was caught off guard and was pushed by him to stumble, and he took three or four steps back before he stood firm. But when he just stood firm, there was a popping sound from the lotus pond beside him. The water splashed in all directions, and in a blink of an eye, there was no trace of Daddy Liu.
On the otherwise calm water, all that was left was a circle of slowly spreading ripples.
Mu Qingming recalled Fang Cai's push, the strength was not small, not like the strength that an old man who was over half a hundred years old could emit. If Mu Qingming is an ordinary young man, it would be easy to say, but his real identity is a dragon lock man, a dragon lock man who can fight demons and monsters, and he was actually pushed back by an old man, which is a side verification of Mu Qingming's conjecture, Daddy Liu is an immortal Taoist.
Fortunately, when Mu Qingming was pushed by him, he instinctively lifted a wisp of True Qi and injected it into the other party's body when the opponent's palm touched him.
Even if Daddy Liu ran to the ends of the earth, Mu Qingming could still pursue this wisp of Zhenqi to find the other party.
But I didn't know that I hadn't spoken, and the old Li Shi, who was standing on the sidelines and quietly watching, was secretly relieved after seeing Daddy Liu sneak into the pool and escape.
"Get into the water, chase!" Zhao Liang was the first of the police to react, so he hurriedly ordered Wang and Brother Wang.
Brother Wang and several other policemen who could swim also reacted, and hurriedly took off their clothes and pants and went into the water one after another, looking for Daddy Liu who had dived into the water.
Old Master Li also pretended to quickly take off his clothes, and followed the young people to jump into the lotus pond formed by the cold spring gushing out in the cold winter morning, making the appearance of struggling to find Daddy Liu.
Sometimes he dives into the water, sometimes he comes to the surface and takes a deep breath.
Mu Qingming and Liu Yang, as well as Zhao Liang and Daddy Zeng, stood on the shore, watching the policemen flutter around in the pool, but it was strange that they never saw Daddy Liu refloat from the pool.
As everyone knows, there is an underground river in this pool that is connected to the Panlong River; And Daddy Liu had already escaped along the dark river.
"Young Master Mu, since Father Liu may sink his body here, will he kill people around here?" Zhao Liang thought for a moment and then said thoughtfully.
Indeed, it is very likely. Not to mention the sparsely populated area, there are also lush vegetation. Although the foreigners rebuilt the garden, they did not come in winter, and it was indeed a good place to kill people.
It is also not easy to attract the attention of others.
More importantly, killing people here and sinking corpses here is even more trouble-free.
Thinking of this, Mu Qingming and Liu Yang both wanted at the same time, those female corpses were all cut off and cut off, there must be a place nearby that could be provided to the murderer who brutally killed twenty-eight women.
They couldn't help but turn around and look at the garden behind them that had been rebuilt by foreigners.
Suddenly, a blood-colored butterfly perched on the withered vines and plants on the wall came into Mu Qingming's eyes, causing him to frown suddenly, and a trace of consternation flashed in his eyes.
What is the origin of the Scarlet Butterfly? Why is it on the wall of the garden again? Find out what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
