Chapter 10: The Man Who Engraved the Seal
"I found something, but why should I tell you!" Song Xin looked completely unconcerned at this moment.
"It's a homicide." Xie Yuzhe emphasized the seriousness of the matter.
"What do you have to do with me!"
A sentence choked Xie Yuzhe, and he hurriedly said, "Miss Song, I beg you." ”
"That's pretty much it."
Song Xin didn't have to listen to such words, but she was still very useful when she said it from Xie Yuzhe's mouth.
"I checked the information and can confirm that the three deceased were removed from their souls before they died."
"Can you elaborate on that?"
"People have three souls and seven spirits, and the seven spirits disappear after the three souls of the deceased return, but the seven spirits of these three deceased have disappeared before their deaths, so the physical body will decay in advance. However, if the sudden disappearance of the Seven Spirits would make people feel different from normal people, these three deceased people did not show such a situation, so our opponent is a very powerful and very professional mage or other person with special abilities. ”
"In short, the case is not simple, the murderer is very powerful, and I can't solve it alone."
Song Xin nodded, deeply sympathetic to Xie Yuzhe, I don't know why such a case always falls on Xie Yuzhe's head. Fortunately, she helped, otherwise it is estimated that Xie Yuzhe would not know what was going on if they wanted to break their heads.
"You'll help me, won't you?" Xie Yuzhe looked at Song Xin's appearance and was really sincere enough.
Song Xin nodded, in fact, she wanted to refuse, but her client was closely related to this case, so she could only get involved.
"Is that an extra cost?" Xie Yuzhe was really worried that his month's salary was finally given to Song Xin.
"You're lucky, this time there is a commission fee."
After thinking for a while, Xie Yuzhe asked, "Your client is Wu Ji?" ”
"Simple reasoning won't show you cleverness!"
"I didn't mean that!"
"There's no best, the address of the person with the engraved seal, I want to see it."
"I'll ask Yan Dan to send it to you, I just happened to go to the poetry club to see if I could find a clue."
Immediately, the two went their separate ways.
After receiving the address sent by Yan Dan, Song Xin went over directly, and it happened that she still knew this place.
Low-hanging eaves, quaint houses, and an ordinary alley have become a unique scenery in the city because of all kinds of strange shops.
In the old days, all houses were fitted with fashionable doors and windows, and all kinds of words were written to attract customers, except for one room. The same is the old window, the old door, and the word "palm print workshop" on an iron signboard on the door curtain, which is the most common on this street.
Song Xin knocked on the door.
"Please come in!"
Song Xin pushed open the door and walked in, unlike other stores, the furnishings inside were very old, and after walking in, it was like going back to a hundred years ago.
Unlike other places where seals are engraved, the tools here are very primitive, and there is no trace of modernity.
"Engraving?"
There was no trace of emotion in the hoarse and thick voice, and he sat alone in the center of a large pile of tools without looking up at Song Xin.
"You're Zhang Qi?"
"Yes, what the hell are you going to engrave?" Just asked, Zhang Qi was a little impatient.
"My name is Song Xin, and a friend of mine said that the chapter you carved is unique, so I came over."
"Those who come to me are introduced by others, what kind of chapter do you want to engrave, say directly, if you haven't thought about it, there is an album on the table, you can see it yourself."
Zhang Qi's tone finally softened, and Song Xin walked to the table and sat down, flipping through the picture book.
There were several copies of the album, but Song Xin couldn't see the styles of Li Shengcai and Song Shi's seals when he flipped through them.
"Do you have any other albums here, none of my friends have here?"
Song Xin asked Zhang Qi before he raised his head, "Are you sure you carved the chapter here from me?" ”
"It's you, I'm sure I'm not mistaken, my friend's seal is very finely carved, and it is very similar to the style of your seal."
The seal he carved was praised by others, Zhang Qi was obviously happy in his heart, he said: "I also help some companies or social groups carve seals here, they all provide patterns to me, and then I will engrave them, maybe your friends are also like this." ”
Song Xin nodded as if he understood, and then said, "Then do you know Li Shengcai?" ”
"I haven't heard of it!" Zhang Qi replied very directly.
"Where's the Maple Grove Poetry Society?"
"Oh, I've heard that, their president is a regular customer of mine, and he often asks me to help him carve seals. I don't know who the engraved words are for what size or something. ”
This is not bad, the seal sent over to be engraved is full of words like Ziyue Mountain people, and it is normal to not know who to engrave it to, but Zhang Qi's words did not make Song Xin eliminate his doubts, if the seal is really famous, the person who knows the most is naturally the person who carved the seal.
"Is there anything interesting about you carving seals like this every day?"
Song Xin's question was so strange that Zhang Qi ignored her at all. Song Xin seemed to expect him to react like this, and he was not annoyed, and continued: "I heard that if the skills are good enough, the chapter carved out of this will have a magical effect, I don't know if you have heard of it?" ”
"It's all nonsense, and you believe it."
"That's a pity. In that case, I'll choose the style I want and come back next time! ”
"Yes, welcome back!"
Song Xin immediately left, asking Jiang Yang to come over and stare at Zhang Qi.
Her words were naturally deliberately said to Zhang Qi, and it was unknown whether things were as she expected.
At this time, Xie Yuzhe had just come out of the home of Wang Chuan, the president of the poetry society.
It has been three years since the establishment of the Fenglin Poetry Society, and the time is not short, most of the people who participate in the Poetry Society are people who want to cultivate their sentiments after a successful career, and to put it bluntly, they make themselves look a little tasteful. Li Shengcai and Song Shi have been participating in the poetry club for more than two years, and the other has not yet reached a year. The seal was set according to everyone's requirements, and then sent by Wang Chuan to Zhang Qi to engrave it.
I didn't find any useful information from the conversation with Wang Chuan, and Xie Yuzhe was going to check them one by one according to the list of poetry club personnel given by Wang Chuan.
Xie Yuzhe wanted to go back to the police station and let Yan Dan check the rest of the people, but Song Xin wanted to know about the progress in other aspects, and the two of them arrived at the police station at the same time, and the two of them went in and met Yan Dan and them head-on.
"What's wrong?"
"Captain, I was about to call you when a fifth dead person appeared."
This sentence is tantamount to saying that Xie Yuzhe is incompetent, and there has been no progress at all in the investigation of the case so far, except for the discovery of more deceased.
Suppressing the anger in his heart, Xie Yuzhe and his party went to the scene of the crime.
The deceased's name is He Song, who is also a member of the Fenglin Poetry Society, and has the same seal as Li Shengcai, and the cause of death is the same. Song Xin listened back and forth several times, but didn't hear anything useful.
Xie Yuzhe really had the urge to drop something, it had been less than twelve hours since the last body was found, and at this rate, I don't know how many people would die, but now the clues we have don't even have a slightly clear suspect.
In comparison, Song Xin is much calmer, she has to admit that she has less sense of responsibility than Xie Yuzhe, but it can't be said that she is not angry. This kind of behavior of treating human life as a mustard is really extremely bad.
"Yan Dan, call up He Song's information now, I want to know what fixed places he usually goes to, what kind of hobbies he has, and what kind of friends he has, the more detailed the better."
After the anger, Xie Yuzhe returned to normal, if there are still people who will die, it will be a matter of a short time, and he must solve this case as soon as possible.
After the scene was investigated, they returned to the police station.
In fact, Song Xin could already leave at this time, but she was sent back to the police station by the ghost.
Everyone else was busy, and Song Xin felt that she seemed a little redundant here, so she quietly moved a chair and sat next to Yan Dan to watch Yan Dan check the information.
Suddenly, she shouted "stop", which startled Yan Dan.
"Sister Xin, is there any problem?"
"Don't you think there's anything special about this picture?"
Yan Dan shook her head, this was a photo of He Song attending a drinking party, and she didn't see anything.
At this time, Xie Yuzhe also came over, "Enlarge the part behind He Song." ”
Yan Dan did so, and then Yan Dan also realized the special place that Song Xin said, there was a person behind He Song, holding a wine glass and talking to the person next to him very leisurely, and that person was Wu Ji.
Seeing this, Song Xin believed that Wu Ji was not as innocent as he said, at least he was not a person who had nothing to do with this case.
Song Xin's mobile phone rang just as she wanted to speak, she answered the phone, and then Jiang Yang told her that he followed Zhang Qi into a community called Jinghuayuan, but he lost the person.
At the beginning, Song Xin felt that Zhang Qi was not simple, so he didn't mean to blame Jiang Yang, but just asked, "Where is Jinghuayuan?" ”
Hearing Song Xin's call, Xie Yuzhe was a little surprised, "Isn't Jinghuayuan the community where Wang Chuan lives." ”
Song Xin turned to Xie Yuzhe, "Are you sure?" ”
"I've been there before, I'm sure."
"It's not by chance that Zhang Qi went there, maybe he didn't live there at all, but went to find Wang Chuan."
"There is indeed such a possibility, tell Jiangyang the location of Wang Chuan's family."
Song Xin told Jiang Yang the location of Wang Chuan's family according to what Xie Yuzhe said, and then asked Jiang Yang to find a way to know if the two of them had met.
Immediately, Song Xin and the others rushed over.
When they arrived at the place, they got out of the car, and there were already many people gathered downstairs, and they immediately had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, when they went upstairs, they found Wang Chuan's body. When he saw Wang Chuan's body, Xie Yuzhe sighed, they had just met a few hours ago.
