Kyoto West, Smoky Mountains.

…………

Qiu Yi said: "You don't have to be surprised, I was more surprised than you, I was really startled when I heard these four words, but I was afraid that the other party would be cheating, so I pretended not to know at the time." And it's because they know about this that I think it's a problem, and I was wondering if this was the beginning of a huge conspiracy, or a part of it, when you weren't here. ”

Mo Tu said: "I heard Xiao Yi say, their purpose is to get that Shocking Sword?"

Qiu Yi said: "......... So I'm even more sure that they do know the legend of the 'Nine Swords Return to the Dead', and that we had made an oath never to let this secret appear in our lifetimes, and to let this secret sink forever to keep the world peaceful. But now, this matter is suddenly known, and it is a foreigner, can this be a minor problem!! ”

Mo Tu said: "How do you think this matter came out?"

Qiu Yi said: "Those who know the 'Nine Swords Return to the Underworld', except for a few of us, there are only a few people left, but those people were all eliminated by us back then, if the news is revealed by someone, then the one who shows the news should be one of us!!"

Mo Tu said: "It's unlikely.........

Qiu Yi said: "Now we don't have time to discuss this matter, I just guess, the most important thing at the moment is to find a way to save Yue'er girl first, and the sword can't be handed over." What do you think is a good idea? ”

Mo Tu said: "For now, I have to tell Ling Wuxin about this matter first, and I have also sent a disciple to investigate the situation first, and after tomorrow, I will see if there are any clues before I can decide what to do."

After that, the two discussed in a low voice for a long time.

…………

About half an hour later.

Qiu Yi nodded and said, "Let's do this first, if there is anything needed, just send someone to spread the word."

…………

Mo Tu smiled bitterly and said: "You are still the same stinky temper back then, how can I let people pass on the word, if I really want to find you, then naturally I will come in person."

Qiu Yi said: "Needless to say, you can leave if you have nothing to do, and I will also sleep."

After Mo Tu shook his head, he said helplessly: "Then I'll go first, I'll come to you if there's something."

After saying that, he got up directly and left.

Listening to the footsteps of Mo Tu fading away outside the door, Qiu Yi sighed and then blew out the candle, looking like he was going to sleep.

…………

To say tonight, it's weird.

An hour had passed, and there was movement in another place.

…………

…………

Kyoto North, Seimeiji Temple.

…………

The reverse rope worker was here at this time, but he did not sleep, but stood in the courtyard with his hands on his back, and the figure reflected on the ground in the moonlight made him even more slender.

Suddenly, the rope worker's ears moved, then he smiled and turned around.

In the originally empty courtyard, there was suddenly one more person. A masked man, to be exact.

But as if he had known that someone was coming, he was not surprised, but said, "You are here."

The masked man replied, "Well, how are things ready?"

The voice was a little hoarse, but it was clearly deliberately disguised.

The rope worker smiled and said, "It's ready, just wait for them."

The masked man replied, "Be careful, they should have already made a move." Also........."

The next words were so low that no one but the two of them could hear them.

…………

After a few moments, the masked man and the ropeman raised their heads at the same time, and the ropeman said, "Thank you for your advice, I still need your help in all this."

The masked man said, "Of course, you have your purpose, I have my purpose, everyone do their best."

The rope worker said, "That's very good."

The masked man looked up and said, "Then I'll take my leave."

The reverser said, "No."

As soon as he finished speaking, the masked man jumped out of the wall more than ten meters away.

…………

I really don't know what's going on, why people in the martial arts like to climb over the wall, can't they go through the gate.........

…………

Fortunately, the night finally calmed down.

…………

…………

It's the day.

…………

Liling City, corpse room.

…………

There was an invisible eerie aura in the mortuary, and just looking at the wooden door of the morgue, it was as if the whole ground was stinking.

Morning.

As soon as Li Mo returned to the governor's mansion, he quickly took the toolbox, nodded to Ning Kexuan and the others at the door, pushed open the door, and entered the corpse room one after another.

…………

In order to protect the corpse, Li Mo had already extinguished the lights when he left, and at this time he had to relight the lights in the room, and in order to maintain good lighting, even a few lanterns outside were taken down and hung in all corners of the room.

The light and shadow of the lantern and the lantern overlap each other, forming the same effect as the shadowless lamp on the long table, and the shadow is cast and becomes very faint, but the effect is still good.

The bones of the previous time have been temporarily stored by a group of people, and the officials will sort out and screen out the list of missing persons before calling their families to claim them.

At this time, on the table were three "wall-building" female corpses pulled back from the south city gate.

…………

Li Moyi opened the toolbox, took out two pairs of white cloth gloves, and handed one to Ning Kexuan, who looked at it with interest, like a curious child discovering a new toy.

"Ahem—"

Li Mo coughed dryly twice, and then slowly put on his gloves. Ning Xuancai reacted and put on his gloves in a similar way.

"Let's sort out all the belongings of the deceased, mark them by category, and then conduct an autopsy."

Li Moyi is like a master with an apprentice, explaining the whole process as clearly as possible, since Ning Xuan is willing to be his assistant, Li Moyi does not intend to hide, he has a foundation, and he has a bit of courage, I believe that he will soon be able to become independent.

Ning Kexuan also understood Li Moyi's intentions, nodded, and together with Li Moyi, began to sort out the belongings of the deceased.

…………

The three female corpses remained intact, except for the faces.

…………

These female corpses lay flat in the light, their faces covered in red stains, full of scars, and they were very horrible. But Ning Kexuan seemed to have been prepared for it and was not very moved.

In order to facilitate the work, Li Moyi put another long table behind him, took out a pen and paper, and wrote three signs, indicating No. 1, 2, and 3 respectively, and the belongings and clothes of the deceased were placed one by one according to the number.

…………

Once marked, the two began to carefully examine the deceased's belongings.

There were no belongings left on these corpses, and there were not many belongings left with them, and the only things that could be examined were clothes, shoes, socks and other belongings.

…………

Although No. 1's shoe is connected to the flesh and skin, there is dirt on the soles of the shoes, and it may be possible to infer from the soil on the soles where she went before her death, which is quite a clue.

In addition, she also carried a white handkerchief on her body, embroidered with a phoenix pattern, and a short silver needle hidden in her hair, which should be covered by her hair, and the murderer did not find it, so it has to be said that it was accidental.

Although the shoes are also handmade, the phoenix pattern is not uncommon, and the shoe style is similar, and it is actually quite difficult to identify the owner according to the shoes.

But these silver needles are unique handicrafts, and will be customized according to the owner's preferences, if the silversmith shop is a time-honored brand, it will also mark the logo of the trade name on the jewelry, if you can find the business logo, as long as you go to the store to inquire one or two, it should be easy to confirm the identity of the owner of the silver needle.........

…………

Thinking of this, Li Mo's heart moved, so he took the silver needle, put it under the lamp and carefully observed it, and sure enough, at the tail of the silver needle, he found a trade mark like a cherry blossom petal.........

Li Moyi hurriedly asked Ning Kexuan to register on the corpse.

Ning Xuan was greatly encouraged and continued to examine the remaining two corpses.

And Li Moyi started a crucial part, that is, to find fingerprints.

…………

He believes that the murderer in the world does not care about fingerprints at all, and the deceased must have the fingerprints of the murderer on his body.........

…………

Li Mo took out the magnifying glass in his arms, searched carefully, and after a short time, he collected a few fingerprints from No. 1's neck.........

Li Moyi used a magnifying glass to observe No. 1's fingerprints, and compared the fingerprints collected, and found that it was not the same person.

Other words.

The fingerprints on the neck of No. 1 were left by someone else.

…………

This discovery also greatly increased Li Moyi's confidence, and he immediately began to collect fingerprints on No. 2 and No. 3.........

…………

Li Mo was busy collecting fingerprints, and Ning Kexuan had already preliminarily completed the recording.

…………

The faces of the three deceased had many wounds, but unlike the bones of the women killed in the old Chengshan Temple, the three people had obvious strangulation marks on their necks, red spots and scars on their eyelids, indicating that these women were most likely strangled alive.........

…………

Li Mo sighed deeply, took off his white cloth gloves, and walked out of the corpse room, only to find that the sky was already bright.

The birds, finches and insects all woke up, and there was still the sound of vendors selling in the distance, and the whole Liling City began a busy and noisy day again, but how much frightening darkness was hidden under the light of this day?

Li Moyi sat down.

Ning Kexuan hadn't recovered from his shock yet, and sat with his knees crossed, his chin resting on his knees, as if pondering why that person had become so behaving.

Li Moyi gently patted him on the shoulder. He didn't speak, but was silent for a long time.

Such a case is something that Li Moyi has never seen, Mo said that he would rather be Xuan, it is him Li Moyi, and he is also very surprised.

…………

"Why do you want to do this..............."

Ning Kexuan buried his head and asked in a low voice, Li Moyi could clearly see that his body was trembling slightly.

After thinking about it, Li Moyi finally replied.

"The dead were all women......... and all of them were disfigured........."

"This murderer is a disordered person, the boundary between love and resentment is both obvious and blurred, seemingly contradictory, but in fact it is not."

“……… In the eyes of this murderer, it is obvious that there is a distinction between love and resentment, and what is vague is the way of love and resentment, for a person with an abnormal heart, the way of expressing love is different from ordinary people, maybe you think it is absurd, but in his opinion, this is the expression of loving a person. ”

Based on this consideration, Li Moyi actually made a bold judgment, these murdered women should all be women who knew the murderer.........

…………

If this is the case, then some of these victims are very likely to be restaurant women, because restaurant women are the easiest to know people, and even if they are missing, most of the restaurants will not report the case, and there are many cases of these women escaping and being abducted, so the case of the disappearance of the restaurant woman is ultimately closed.

If the murderer regards the restaurant woman as the main target of the murder, then the number of victims will be an extremely large number.........

Thinking of this, Li Moyi's face was a little difficult to look at, and the number of these corpses found one after another was enough to surprise people, and according to Li Moyi's current inference, these people were afraid that they were only the tip of the iceberg.

In this way, how much bright red does the murderer's hands have to be touched......... How many victims' bodies are waiting for them to discover.........

…………

Li Moyi's silence made Ning Kexuan feel very heavy, he sighed lightly, Li Moyi turned his head, but did not tell him the analysis in his heart, but replied softly.

"Maybe it's because he hates women..............."

A simple sentence, but there are many frightening facts hidden behind it, rather Xuan can't hear it, but he can feel Li Moyi's dejected state of mind.

His obsession with solving cases comes from his admiration for his father, more because of fun, because of interest, or because he is competitive and strong.

For the sake of a tiger father without a dog, in order to prove that he is not worse than his brothers, perhaps this is the reason why he is obsessed with detectives.

But he's just a kid after all.

…………

He felt that he was useful and could help Li Moyi, not just a simple oil bottle, he thought he could go further.

However, the truth is always cruel, and his confidence has just risen and has been completely shattered!!

His state of mind was stronger than most people, even the guards in the public gate, but even so, he couldn't look directly at such a scene.

Li Mo's simple answer made him feel even more chilled, as if under the bright scorching sun, there was a chilling black hidden everywhere.

…………

He stood up silently, and then said to Li Moyi.

"I want to go home..............."

Li Moyi didn't have too many surprises, didn't raise his eyes to look at him, showed that he understood his state of mind, and nodded at him.

…………

Looking at his departing back, Li Moyi was somewhat lost.

I don't know if this blow will make him give up completely, but Li Moyi knows that the Haikou that he boasted to Governor Li at the beginning must be fulfilled as soon as possible, and this case must be solved as soon as possible, otherwise more people will only be killed............

…………

…………

After calming down, Li Mo returned to his temporary residence in the back mansion.

Tanzhong rushed to the gate of the heavenly prison, but he has not come back yet, and all the people in the governor's mansion have gone to the city gate to do errands, and there is a rare silence in the official residence.

…………

After Li Mo walked a few steps, he planned to go to the morgue room and carefully examine the corpse.

But this is only halfway through, and the archer Li Mu has already come to the door, saying that Governor Li has brought the construction personnel of the city gate back to the governor's mansion, and asked Li Mo to go over and have a look.

As soon as Li Mo and Li Mu went forward, they heard a commotion in front of him halfway through.
