Chapter 19: The Next Dead

Leaving the depressing atmosphere of the Dragon Brake Gang, the clean air outside relieved the tense nerves, and the stiff muscles finally relaxed.

Xie Lingxu was about to strike while the iron was hot and sort out the case information, but was interrupted by Xiao Qixin's question

"Xiao Jie, do you see anything?"

Xie Lingxu's eyelashes raised slightly, "I...... At the moment, I have a little idea, I think, Seventh Brother...... Brother Qi, it should be Cheng Qi, the transaction between Boss Tong and Cheng Qi Boss Tong He didn't want to reveal it to others, it should be more than just a few boxes of gold, silver and porcelain. ”

Xiao Qixin lifted his chin, "Could it be that these things are stolen goods?" Or is it the utensils in the palace? ”

Xie Lingxu shook his head, thinking to himself where he could guess this.

Chu Xiu suddenly came up to him and asked, "Eh...... Lingxu, do you actually know Tan Meng? ”

Xie Lingxu glanced at him: "Do you look like I know each other?" ”

Chu Xiu looked suddenly enlightened, "Oh...... You don't know me! And you just said those thingsβ€”"

"Can't you see what I'm making up?" Xie Lingxu felt that the big fool in front of him had simply lowered the average IQ of the whole group.

Chu Xiu's eyes widened, "Why?" ”

As soon as the words came out, Xiao Qixin and the others also looked at Xie Lingxu, their eyes full of questions, only King You's face was clear, and the wind was calm.

"I ...... I just want to try what kind of person Cheng Qi is, knowing himself and his opponent. Also, I wanted to see what it looked like when he held the crutch that he wouldn't let go. ”

Chu Xiu still didn't understand, "What does it look like?" ”

"Didn't he let go when he took the letter, didn't you see? The crutch was the size of a fist, which was almost consistent with the mark on Boss Tong's chest that had been hit hard, and the crutch was painted with black paint and gilded, so it should be very strong. I don't see that Cheng Qi has any other weapons on his body, so it is estimated that he transformed the pear wood cane himself, and it is not impossible to use it to defend himself, and it is not impossible to use him to kill people. ”

Xiao Qixin asked, "Then according to what you mean, Boss Tong was killed by Cheng Qi?" ”

Xie Lingxu glanced up at him, then lowered his head again, his eyes flashing with a little confusion

"I ...... I'm not sure, I don't understand some places, for example, with Cheng Qi's kung fu, he can kill Boss Cheng with one blow, and the most striking thing on the corpse is the strangulation mark on his neck, if he deliberately confuses the public like this, there is nothing wrong with it, but I think that an arrogant person like Cheng Qi will not be afraid, even if he kills someone, he will not cover it tightly, even if it is strict, then what he wants to cover up must not be the fact of killing, but something else. ”

"However, I always feel that the techniques of the two wounds are very different, Cheng Qi used to be a soldier, and the general method of killing should be a clean and neat method like a knife or a stick, and if you use a chain, it is too slow, and it is not like his style. Oh...... However, this is all my personal opinion, if he is idle and wants to have fun with himself, I can't help it. ”

Xiao Qixin nodded: "You still have a point in saying that." ”

"In addition, the most difficult question to solve is, what does Cheng Qi, the pawnshop owner, have to do with other dead people, and why did the murderer kill so many people."

Although there are still many mysteries today, there are some eyebrows, at least the murder is related to a big organization like the Dragon Brake Gang, and everything gradually becomes common sense, and there are traces to follow.

Xie Lingxu just wanted to go to Boss Tong's house to see if there were any missing clues, but he was caught in the way of the Underworld Army by the patrol of the Nine Governors Gate, who rushed to reincarnate like a reincarnation

"Tell King You, a corpse was found in the mountains and forests outside the western city of the imperial city."

Xie Lingxu was taken aback, "What! ”

The patrol felt that Xie Lingxu's expression was simply about to eat people. Slurred

"Yes...... It was a male corpse, dead in the wild beast-infested mountain forest, and had just been found by a hunter, and the corpse had been bitten off in half. ”

"How is that possible!"

, what the hell does this murderer mean.

Xie Lingxu felt that the little clue he had just sorted out had become a mess again. It seems that the murderer still continues to carry out his serial murder plan in an orderly manner, and the faint relationship between the murderer and the Dragon Brake Gang is blurred again in an instant, and Xie Lingxu suddenly feels at a loss where to start.

King You said lightly: "Let's go to the scene first." Pulled Xie Lingxu out of Fang Cai's confusion.

Xie Lingxu exhaled, thinking that he couldn't be in a hurry now, so let's take one step at a time.

Even though it is almost late autumn, the surrounding green forests are still flourishing, and the green trees are bright, making people feel refreshed.

However, the deeper you go in this bright forest, the stronger the smell of blood becomes.

Finally stopped in front of the crowd, the smell of blood here was already seriously uncomfortable, but Xie Lingxu felt that he smelled a familiar smell that he had not seen for a long time.

Opening the people in front of him, Xie Lingxu saw that the man lying on the ground was simply dead.

Only half of his sallow face was now left, and the other half might have been bitten by some animal, and the flesh and skin were separated, and a little white bone was faintly exposed, and it was also stained red by the overflowing blood. The shoulders were gnawed so that they could not see the shape, mixed with the turf on the ground, and now only two limbs remained, and some pieces of meat that had not fallen off were adhered to the fractures, and the scene was almost unsightly.

Xie Lingxu thought to himself, it is better to bite into this ghost, it is better to just eat it all. Luckily, he still has half a face, and if he looks symmetrical, someone should still be able to recognize him by copying and pasting. Seeing that he was dressed simply, with a lot of patches sewn on his coarse cloth clothes, and a short and thin body, he should be a poor person. There was a lot of his body left, the smell of blood in the air was still fresh, and there were no swarms of flies and flying insects circling around, so it was obvious that he had not been dead for too long. He had been scratched all over his body, but the only thing that was still intact was the gourd-shaped flask hanging from his waist.

The man who was stained with blood on his hand arched his hand and said, "The deceased had multiple bites on his body, and the time of death can only be roughly determined to be yesterday." ”

Xiao Qixin asked, "Information about the deceased?" ”

"After verification, the deceased's name is Xie Shuo, living in Changzhen Street, Xichang, his occupation is unknown, his parents are dead, he has no wife and children, but he has a younger sister named Xie Jing."

Xie Lingxu suddenly said, "Is there something wrong with this person's brain?" ”

He was a little surprised when he heard this, "No...... No......"

Xie Lingxu walked into the corpse, "If it's no problem, it shouldn't be that you stand stupidly and let the beast bite you alive." He didn't look like he was struggling at all, he was unconscious and then thrown here. ”

King You waved his hand at the patrol who wanted to stop Xie Lingxu, and motioned for her to continue doing what she wanted to do.

Xie Lingxu squatted beside the corpse by himself, touched the fleshy body with his hand, and his slender white hand was immediately stained with a lot of viscous blood.

"There is a lot of blood coagulated on the back of his head, and there are no signs of biting on his scalp, and his brain is slightly sunken, so he should have been brought here after being brought here after being hit by a heavy blow."

Xie Lingxu pulled open his bitten tattered clothes and held his breath to take a look

"The deceased had a yellow complexion and spider angiomas on his chest, most likely due to cirrhosis caused by long-term alcoholism."

Xie Lingxu turned his face and glanced at the stunned man standing on the side, "hiss...... Don't you report such obvious symptoms? ”

The man bowed his head in shame, "Well, these questions are usually to be transferred to the morgue to be examined carefully. ”

Xie Lingxu turned his face indifferently and said angrily, "Oh...... Then you guys are really efficient. ”

Glancing at the gourd wine jug that was the only one worth a little money on his body, Xie Lingxu picked up the jug and weighed it, and shook it gently

"Full?"

Standing up and slowly retreating, he saw that the servant asked himself very humbly, "Girl, I am ...... now." Can you bring this corpse back? ”

Xie Lingxu shook his head, not knowing why he suddenly asked himself with a respectful face, "Ah! Yes, of course! ”

Xie Lingxu stood aside, watching the corpse being dragged away, secretly thinking about something. A square scarf was suddenly handed over to his side, and he had just taken it, and he could hear the deep voice of King You

"What comes to mind?"

Xie Lingxu almost didn't hold it steadily, and dropped the square towel on the ground, but after hesitating for a moment, he used it to wipe the blood stains on his hands. Can you listen to what labor and management think!

"It's nothing, it's just ...... The deceased was an alcoholic, and alcoholics usually drink it immediately when they get it, but the wine in the jug is full, which means that he was killed before he could drink it, so I think he was attacked shortly after he bought the wine, and went to the place where the liquor was sold in the West Market, which should not be far from the scene of the crime. ”

"To the West Market?"

Xie Lingxu didn't know why King You suddenly looked at him, and said lightly with a look that avoided him

"Yes!"

Walking in the ancient West Market, Xie Lingxu inexplicably felt that there seemed to be fewer people on the street, and it was estimated that he was disturbed by the successive murders, and he didn't dare to go out casually.

Seeing that Xiao Qixin was asking an older uncle, "Uncle Chen, do you know a person named Xie Shuo?" ”

Uncle Chen took a puff of leaf cigarette and said in a hoarse voice, "Ahem, Xie Shuo, I know, he's a person, ahem...... It's one, ahem...... drunkard! ”

When Xie Lingxu heard him say a word, his lungs had to cough out, and he secretly wondered if this person was reliable?

"Xie Shuo is not a duty, he always ...... Always blackmailed her sister for money and borrowed money...... If you don't pay it back, when you get drunk, you get drunk and go crazy and scold. Cough...... The neighbors saw him...... All take a detour. ”

Xie Lingxu listened to this person's words, only to feel like a cat scratching in his heart, and stepped forward and asked

"Then do you know where Xie Shuo often goes to buy wine?"

"Yes, Nishishiri...... is the most affordable wine of Li Laojiu's family, Xie Shuo, he is often ......, and often ...... Ahem, I often go to him to buy alcohol. ”

Xie Lingxu nodded and hurriedly left the auditory murder scene, leaving Uncle Chen and Xiao Qixin chattering.

Xie Shuo is a home, there is no real estate in Xishi, and there are few liquid assets, except for leaving a mutilated corpse, it is estimated that no one will help him bury it after it is burned soon, and I am afraid that there will be some infamy left in the world. There was nowhere to start from him, Xie Lingxu and King You and Chu Xiu and a group of people moved first, and on the way to the shop of Li Laojiu that he inquired about, Xie Lingxu endured his hunger and thought about the character characteristics and interpersonal relationships of Xie Shuo, a prodigal son.
