Chapter 3: Spiritual Killing

A series of question marks, the fog on the murderer's face, became heavier and heavier.

As for the rest, there is not a single clue to be found, at least not in the case file.

I flipped through the information of the three deceased.

The first deceased, born on May 17, 1984, Bazi Jiazi, Gengwu, Xinzi, Jichou, his real name is a rat, the sea is golden, and the sun is the main heavenly stem is gold.

The Lord of the Sun was born in the spring, and he likes earth and fire, and he is most taboo to have no earth and gold. Among the five elements, gold can give birth to water, and water is rich in gold and sinking; Strong gold gets water, Fang frustrates its edge, he is a clear strong gold life, and it is impossible to have a life of water and gold.

I glanced at him again, and the murderous years should have been eighteen and forty-six, and he was now thirty-five years old, and it was impossible for him to die of drowning.

And the same is true of the information of the other two deceased, I have read all the eight characters of the birthday, and none of the five elements are afraid of water.

As for physiognomy, most of these three people have flat cheekbones, they are not people who died early, and most of them died after the age of 60.

I rubbed my temples, which were a little swollen, it had been more than two hours, and there were no helpful clues in the case file, so it seemed that I had to go to the scene to see.

At noon the next day, after I finished handling the work in the archives, I went to the hospital, and Lao Ding allowed me to put aside the work at hand and go to specialize in this case, and he asked me if I wanted manpower, I shook my head.

If there are too many people, it will be bad, I can do it alone, but Gu Man must also be there, so before going to her, I took advantage of my position to get a discharge certificate that I did not fill out.

Gu Man's spirit was much better, but the faint black qi on the Yin Hall still did not dissipate, and there was no change in the layout of the room, except that the bouquet of flowers was brought to the head of the bed.

I frowned, walked over without saying a word, and put it at the end of the bed again.

"Hey, why are you like this, if you don't buy flowers when you come, you have to ......"

"Don't you think that after this flower is put on the bedside, people are not so energetic?"

Gu Man was choked by my words, her eyes were wide open, and ten minutes later, she showed a look of surprise.

"Really... Really, I feel a lot better chest tightness, maybe I'm allergic to pollen? ”

She was still making excuses, but I put the discharge certificate in front of her.

"I'm sure I'll solve this case, are you interested in coming with me?"

Gu Man stared at me with a complicated expression.

I guess her higher education is making her follow the scientific logic to solve crimes, but the human side is shaking.

In the end, it was probably the side of human nature that prevailed over the side of scientific logic, or maybe she wanted to know the truth, so she picked up the pen and signed it resolutely.

"Can you go?"

"I'm drowning, not a broken bone."

Probably not wanting to get my sympathy, Gu Man rolled his eyes and got up directly and put on civilian clothes.

It's just that her body shook obviously, and it is estimated that her body is still a little weak, which is also normal, and it will recover slowly.

Before leaving, she glanced at the flowers at the end of the bed, and then at me, her expression more complicated than before.

The discharge procedures were handed over to the colleagues on duty at the door, and Gu Man and I drove directly to the reservoir.

She was a little distracted along the way, and when she was waiting for the red light, she was honked several times by the car behind her, and I said that if I don't want to change me, she was a white eye, saying that she couldn't even drive the car?

She was too tough, or rather, too stubborn, to lose to anyone, and she didn't want anyone to sympathize with her.

This is in line with her fate, which of Hua Mulan or Wu Zetian lost to the man? The heroine and the unprecedented empress, Gu Man may be like them in the future, so I didn't dare to tell her the last three days of Lao Ding's order, first, I have enough confidence, and second, the pressure will affect her judgment and emotions.

Out of the city, Gu Man's mood improved a lot, and he was willing to speak.

But she could remember too little about that night, and she had a headache at the thought of the key points.

Our car stopped at the entrance to the reservoir, and to get to the reservoir we had to walk through a small road with two colleagues guarding to prevent outsiders from entering.

My colleague insisted on accompanying us, but if there was really something inside, it would be as few people as possible, so I gave Gu Man a look and let her refuse, and then walked into the reservoir with her.

It's almost deserted, and the new reservoir is farther away, but combined with hydroelectric power, it's greener and more efficient.

As we go deeper step by step, the whole picture of the reservoir finally shows up in front of us step by step.

A sense of coolness instantly poured into my heart and spleen, and on a hot summer day, I shivered, and my eyes also focused on the geographical location of the reservoir.

It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, on the east and west, and on the north side, and on the other side, all other places are covered by greenery.

From the perspective of feng shui, it is an excellent place for feng shui to rely on the mountain and face the water, the sand ring is full of water, and the Tibetan wind gathers qi.

But the problem is also here, this is a reservoir, the water vapor is very heavy, and there is no sunlight all year round, and over time the yin qi gathers, although there are pipes to dredge, but the water has finally become a pool of stagnant water.

"Is this reservoir often clogged? That's why the municipal side moved to a new reservoir? ”

I took out my compass and looked at the magnetic field reaction here, and asked by the way.

Gu Man watched me take out the compass and frowned: "Yes, have you read the information?" ”

I shook my head: "No, the feng shui here is too good, and there is no sunlight all year round, and the green plants grow wildly, which indirectly causes the water to ......."

"Master Zhang, can you stop for a while, we are here to find clues, not to see Feng Shui."

Gu Man's reluctance is normal, even ordinary people will not be so subverted, not to mention that she has also been educated in advanced criminal investigation methods.

I shrugged helplessly and put away the compass.

In fact, nothing was shown on the compass, the magnetic field in this place was not abnormal, and the direction of the feng shui also tended to be stable.

But the reason for the abandonment and blockage of the pipeline has a lot to do with feng shui, because it is a feng shui treasure land where the sand ring is full of water and the hidden wind gathers qi.

Geographically, there is no sunlight all year round, and the feng shui is very suitable for the growth of unclean things, and the coolness that I just felt when I came in should be emitted by those unclean things.

But what is it that is not clean? The figure Gu Man said?

I'm curious.

So she walked to the edge of the reservoir.

Gu Man pointed to the camera behind me, the camera was facing the valve at the corner of the reservoir, and it was estimated that this camera was installed to protect the equipment, otherwise who would have nothing to do with the monitoring in the reservoir.

"Is there a figure?"

I walked over to the water's edge and looked into the depths.

Gu Man shook her head, she looked around, there was no other way out here, the only entrance was also the only exit, and then there was the reservoir valve, so there were very few places that could be investigated.

"Checked all here?"

"Hmm." Gu Man nodded, and then said: "The comrades in the bureau have already obtained evidence, searched all over, and found nothing, what other tricks do you have?" ”

"There's another place you definitely haven't been looking for."

Immediately, when I was about to reveal the truth, a figure slid behind Gu Man, Gu Man obviously noticed it, she subconsciously took out her pistol, turned around and made a shooting gesture.

"Stop, or I'll shoot."

Gu Man's warning didn't work, the figure quickly swept towards a small alley next to the valve, and I quickly chased after it, and Gu Man followed closely.

The figure jumped into the alley, Gu Man fired, the sound of a huge bullet breaking through the air broke the silence here, and I felt as if something had been broken in an instant.

"Ahh He......"

At the same time as the gunshots, there was a scream.

Hit? Gu Man and I were ecstatic and hurriedly chased in.

The alley was very dark, but after entering, I slowly adapted to the environment here, Gu Man and I took out our flashlights and checked, but there was no one in the alley at all.

It's a dead end, there's no exit, where can the figure go?

And bullet holes ... I followed the trajectory of Gu Man's shot and found the bullet hole, in the wall, a small hole, and there were bullets in it that had not exploded.

Gu Man walked up and looked at the bullet hole in a daze.

"I hit, really."

She's pretty sure.

I nodded.

"Yes, you hit, did you hear his voice?"

"Hmm... It's a disgusting sound that makes people's scalp tingle. ”

Gu Man's description is not wrong at all, it makes people's scalp tingle and even a little disgusting, because... It was not a normal human voice.

"But how can there be no one? Not even bloodstained. ”

Gu Man took out his mobile phone, took two photos of the bullet hole on the wall, and immediately walked out of the alley with me.

"Because it wasn't a person just now, but a soul trapped here."

I know Gu Man doesn't believe it, but I still have to say that as long as I and her here, she won't write this into the report.

Sure enough, her face darkened at first, and then returned to normal, but she looked at me with disgust and said, "Little brother Zhang Yao, can you not put the feudal superstition in your mouth." ”

She walked to the water's edge again with great disdain: "I saw the side face of that figure just now, what kind of unjust soul, we are a serious crime team, here to investigate the case." ”

Side face?

I was stunned for a moment, but her words reminded me that I was chasing too fast and didn't see the man's side face clearly, and when she said this, I quickly took out the photos of the three deceased.

"Look, does it look like it's in this picture?"

She took the photo suspiciously.

"It's not the three ......"

Halfway through the sentence, I saw a deathly silence on her face, and her body seemed to freeze, even trembling slightly.

"It's... It's this person. ”

She pulled out a picture of one of the dead and showed it to me, her tone affirmative, but her eyes full of fear.

I was stunned too.

Because that's the first photo of a deceased who committed suicide here.

"Are you sure?"

"I... Can I be kidding? ”

Gu Man looked up at me, I had never seen her so scared, from this alone I believe that she was not wrong, no matter how she is professionally trained, she has excellent psychological quality.

A minute ago, she hadn't fired a shot, and I would like to believe that this was just an ordinary homicide, and that if you catch that figure, the case will be solved.

But now, the black shadows that flickered by, the bullet holes in the wall, the scalp-tinging screams, and Gu Man's identification.

All of this pushes the case to its conclusion.

Soul killing.
