Since the last Qinglong Stonemason murder case, there have been no major cases for three weeks, but during this time, I still helped people solve some cases of theft and financial disputes, although these cases can not fully mobilize my passion, but living in this material society, doing these things can ensure my basic survival needs.

Because of Tang Zhenguo's great enthusiasm for detection, I officially invited him to join my work. For one, this strong man can indeed provide me with bodyguard services; Second, he is indeed a good partner, and he has some unique insights that can provide me with some inspiration in the detection process.

It's a Saturday, but for me, Saturday can't be considered a day on a Saturday or Sunday, and perhaps this statement also applies to more workers who have irregular holidays.

I woke up early that morning, because my brain was in a semi-closed state because of the relative calm of life for three consecutive weeks, but my restless heart was always longing for something to stimulate, so my sleep was reduced.

That's when the excitement came. It was a dull sound, but I could hear it as a hard slam against a wooden stake.

Suddenly, like a zombie bouncing out of a rotting coffin, I sat upright on my wooden bed. Then I put on my nightgown and walked to the living room barefoot, and saw Tang Zhenguo struggling to hit the wooden stake bare-chested, and the punch to the flesh made me very excited.

"Zhenguo, stop, stop, I'll learn from each other." I said as I pushed the morgue in the living room against the wall.

"What? Ouyang, you didn't wake up, did you? Tang Zhenguo stopped hitting the wooden stake and tilted his head to look at me.

"Come on, come on, do a hand, push all these things in the way to the side." I continued to push the morgue and said.

Although Tang Zhenguo was puzzled, he still moved everything that was in the way in the living room to the side with me, making a relatively spacious open space.

"Are you sure you want to fight me?" Tang Zhenguo's tone was obviously a little disdainful.

I threw my dressing gown on the couch and said, "Yes, yes, the strong stimulation of the body can fully activate the brain, so I have always disagreed with the statement that the limbs are developed and the mind is simple." Come on, don't show mercy. ”

"Well, you have to be careful." Tang Zhenguo shook his hands and made a free fighting posture.

I could feel a tiger-like momentum pressing on me, and this kind of momentum before he even made a move, made me understand why he was able to fight underground black boxing for almost a year without serious trauma.

I shrugged my shoulders and placed my palms in front of my chest. He looked sideways, nodded slightly, and said, "Inner fist?" ”

I said, "Well, come on!" ”

He said, "Here we are!" ”

The fist wind roared, the fist speed was like electricity, and I barely separated his attack with my palms, but I was shocked by the punch, and I still felt my hands numb.

While we were fighting fiercely, the doorbell rang. Perhaps the sudden doorbell disrupted Tang Zhenguo's punching rhythm, and I saw the flaw, and a push shook him open. He slammed backwards, his heavy body and inertia, and slammed into the door with a bang, and actually slammed the door open. Then I heard a terrible scream.

It was seven o'clock in the morning, and Tang Zhenguo and I were already standing under the Xishan Bell Tower, and the police cordon and isolation zone had been set up in this area.

Lao Lu saw me coming, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Xiao Xia, so he asked, "What's wrong with your nose?" ”

Xiao Xia covered his nose, glanced at me and Tang Zhenguo, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, the road is slippery, and I fell." ”

"Be reckless, be careful in the future." Lao Lu said angrily. Xiao Xia whispered aggrievedly yes.

I didn't know how to explain it to him, so I simply didn't say it, and Tang Zhenguo was silent at this time.

Lao Lu turned to us and said, "I asked Xiao Xia to pick you up early in the morning, just because there was another big case. Follow me. ”

On the way here, Xiao Xia had already told me about the case, but this case still surprised me a little, and it also woke up all my semi-closed brains.

The scene of the crime was under the Xishan Bell Tower. The deceased was male, and the age should have been around 35 years old. He knelt down facing the bell tower and died, the distance from the deceased to the bell tower was about 2 meters, the deceased's hair was disheveled, his clothes were fully dressed, but they were full of wrinkles, and there were scratches on his clothes, and some of these scratches were remnants of dirt and moss. The most important thing is that there is a dagger stuck in the back, but from the extremely sparse bloodstains, it can be seen that this dagger is not a mortal wound, but was inserted after death.

I approached the corpse and crouched down to look at his drooping face, which had a grim expression of pain frozen on his face, and with a purple-black scar on his neck, it was certain that he had been strangled with something like a rope. Judging from the appearance of the corpse spots, the deceased had been dead for more than eight hours.

Lao Lu said at this time: "This is definitely the scene of the second crime, not the place where the deceased died, but what is the intention of moving this body to this place and putting it in a kneeling position?" ”

I got up and looked at the overall situation at the scene of the crime, so I said: "Lao Lu, the murderer made the corpse kneel, not the bell tower, but the motto tablet in the bell tower, and the dagger on the back of the corpse confirms a sentence in the motto tablet." ”

As soon as I said this, Lao Lu and Tang Zhenguo looked at the aphorism monument in the bell tower at the same time.

Speaking of which, I must briefly introduce this Xishan Bell Tower. Xishan Bell Tower is one of the earlier landmark buildings in Wanzhou District, Chongqing, and the "Xishan Sunset", one of the "Eight Views of Wanxian County", is named after it, and since its completion in 1930, it has been attracting celebrities and guests from all over the world to climb the tower to have a glimpse of the Jiangcheng style. Xishan Bell Tower is a combination of Chinese and foreign buildings, exquisite shape, majestic and magnificent, and Shanghai Customs Bell Tower is equally famous, is a major landscape along the Yangtze River. The bell tower is 50.24 meters high, a total of 12 floors, the top of the building is double-layer helmet, it is octagonal, the ground floor is the hall, there is a spiral iron ladder straight to the top. On the fourth floor of the building, there is a huge clock on all sides, and its sound is loud and resounding throughout the city. At the base of the bell tower stands a huge stone monument with a height of 5 meters and a width of 1.3 meters on each side. This boulder did not come easily. According to the elderly who have seen it with their own eyes, the boulder is quarried from the Wangma Stone on the top of the park, and dozens of people use the method of sliding the log below every day, even dragging and pushing, and it took half a month to transport it.

And now we are facing the left side of the aphorism monument, and there is an aphorism on it that catches my eye. This maxim is: As for the poisonous language that pierces people's bone marrow, the drama is sick of people's hearts, and it is the most likely to cause trouble, so it is especially advisable to avoid it. This maxim may be the reason why the murderer wants to put the deceased here and stick a dagger again. If this is the case, the person who killed the deceased must be an acquaintance of the deceased, and an acquaintance with whom he has a connection.

I told Lao Lu about my idea, and Lao Lu agreed, and he immediately began to investigate the identity of the deceased and the social network related to him.

At noon, the bloody case under the Xishan Bell Tower was already known all over the city, and the WeChat circle of friends was also swiped, and there were even photos taken by passers-by before the police were isolated.

Tang Zhenguo and I were eating mutton in the restaurant at this time, and when I was eating mutton while thinking about the aphorism on the stone tablet, Tang Zhenguo suddenly brought his mobile phone to my eyes. I looked up and almost didn't squirt the lamb in my mouth onto his phone screen.

I saw that on the screen of the mobile phone, there was a female ghost with a pale face and wearing a red dress, which looked really scary.

I hurriedly took a sip of kelp soup, frowned and asked, "Zhenguo, what are you doing?" ”

Tang Zhenguo took back his mobile phone and said: "In this circle of friends, it is said that the deceased was taken by a female ghost, and it is said that there has been a female ghost living in the bell tower of Xishan since ancient times, and this female ghost is asking for the life of a man who is unkind." It is said on the Internet that this man must have failed a woman, so he was killed by the evil ghost. ”

I picked up a piece of mutton and said, "If there really is such a female ghost, then I will really burn a stick of incense for her, and thank her for punishing those who are unkind and unjust." ”

After dinner, I received a call from Lao Lu, who said that he would come to pick us up immediately, and then go directly to Wuqiao (place name), because an important person in this case lives in Wuqiao.

In the car, Lao Lu briefly told me about the deceased's situation. The deceased's name is Qin Wenyuan, 37 years old, married, childless, the owner of Wenyuan advertising agency, and his wife died of illness in the central hospital just a month ago. And the person we are going to see in Wuqiao now is Qin Wenyuan's new girlfriend.
