Chapter 12: Stopper

"Chen Poxiao, if you dare to leave tonight, I will definitely let someone serve you to the floor stall on the flyover." Li Qian saw that I wanted to slip away, and her tone became fierce for no reason.

I smiled and shook my head, Li Qian, a stupid woman, couldn't even grasp the point of threats, and her acting skills were not online.

Besides, as the saying goes, the green mountains left are there, and you are not afraid of no firewood. Why should I stick to the flyover, I can shift my position, maybe business will be better.

"Forensic Doctor Li, I'll only ask you once, do you want me to help catch the murderer who likes to draw blood. Yes yes, no no! "I glanced at the computer and saw that the puppy was off the air.

Li Qian bit her lip, as if she didn't know how to answer, or if she had something else hidden.

I paused and continued, "If yes, I really can't help, but if it's just to investigate Xia Rui, I can still help." ”

It's not that I'm not close to people, but it's a matter of principle, people who do what we do, to put it bluntly, are also mortals, and when they meet the Lord who doesn't want to die, self-preservation is the king.

And the last time I met that ghost man, it's the best example, if I'm unlucky, or if he has to fight me, I can't help it.

If you still don't believe me, you can study movies and novels, and see who can survive three episodes of those characters who like to pretend to be coercive?

Of course, except for the protagonist, people are either open or have a halo, and I die a salted fish, it's better to keep a low profile.

Li Qian's apricot eyes gradually became bigger and rounder, glared at me, and said angrily: "Chen Poxiao, you really treat yourself as a dish, let alone catch the murderer, even if it is your turn to catch the thief." Also, who said you caught the murderer. ”

I'm almost stunned by Li Qian, I don't know what kind of medicine she sells in her gourd, from this point of view, don't guess what a woman thinks, it's indeed the truth.

"That's the best, and if you have any ideas, just say it, don't be so twisty, I'm dizzy." As soon as I finished speaking, my stomach rang uncontrollably, and it seemed that I only ate two steamed buns for breakfast today.

It's not an exaggeration, it's not a joke, it's really two steamed buns, and I can't even afford one more.

Most of my small savings were returned to Brother Yang's father, and the rest was used to grab medicine.

In this regard, Li Qian is still a little eye-catching, and she didn't argue with me, saying that she would go to dinner first, and that something would be solved at the dinner table.

The hotel doesn't include food, and you have to go outside, Li Qian and I didn't want to go far, so we casually found a restaurant near our home.

The restaurant is an ordinary home-cooked restaurant, and the area is not large, just four tables. Looking at the decoration, the four walls are yellowed by oil smoke, it is estimated that it has not been renovated for a long time, but the overall cleaning is quite clean.

The boss was enthusiastic, and seeing that Li Qian and I had difficulty in choosing, he recommended a few signature dishes, and after getting our consent, he hurried back to the back kitchen to work.

The dish was quickly fried and served, the boss said a few words, and then sat alone in front of the store and swiped his mobile phone.

Maybe I've been hungry for too long, and a few ordinary home-cooked dishes make me feel like I'm eating a full banquet, and I don't care about the appearance of eating, like a whirlwind of clouds, I add bowls of white rice one after another.

"Master Chen, you take it easy, no one will rob you." Li Qian was holding the bowl, and she was almost stupid.

Heroes can be their true colors, and celebrities are self-styled. We cultivators, who have always been informal, drank half a cup of cold white and said, "Forensic Doctor Li, we Mingren don't talk darkly, what do you think in your heart, I also have a score when you say it." ”

There was no one else in the restaurant, and it was just right to discuss this matter, Li Qian glanced at the boss sitting at the door, and lowered her voice: "I suspect that the recent murders have something to do with Xia Rui." ”

Xia Rui came back from the dead, there is indeed a strange thing, but it is too subjective to directly detain the crime on a girl.

The little milk dog also reasoned and guessed in the live broadcast before, saying that the murderer was either a psychopath or a cult.

Xia Rui is a little girl, she looks honest, she doesn't look like a ruthless person who has the courage to kill people at all, and she doesn't look like a person in a cult.

With this thought in mind, I shook my head in denial, and said, "Forensic Doctor Li, the police handle cases and talk about evidence, so you shouldn't need me to teach you this." Suspicion without evidence is all speculation. If you really suspect Xia Rui, come up with evidence. ”

Li Qian was stopped by me, and was silent for a while, before she said confidently: "Didn't you say that Xia Rui has a problem, this is not evidence?" ”

"Count it as a hammer!" I was amused by Li Qian, and said in my heart that I am not the emperor, and a casual word is a holy decree.

It may be that the argument between me and Li Qian was too selfless, and I didn't pay much attention to controlling the volume later, but the boss heard it, causing him to suddenly interject and ask, "Are you discussing Xia Rui's matter?" ”

I glanced at my boss and asked, "What, do you know her?" ”

The boss put the phone back in his pocket, rubbed his hands and walked to us and sat down, and sighed: "Why don't you know each other, they are all neighbors, and I have eaten her full moon wine." ”

Listening to the boss's emotion, I thought that maybe something could come out of his mouth, so I didn't interrupt, just nodded blindly.

"Speaking of which, that child is also miserable, or he doesn't have a good person to be rewarded, and he actually got such a disease." When the boss talked about emotion, his emotions became agitated and he scolded God for not opening his eyes.

I'm a more emotional person, and I'm easily infected by other people's emotions, and I don't feel good when I listen to it.

But Li Qian is different, because of her professional relationship, she has already seen too much life and death, and has become far more 'indifferent' than ordinary people, and said coldly: "What does the common feeling of birth, old age, sickness and death have to do with God." "It's very disruptive.

The boss was a little embarrassed and glanced at Li Qian, but he was probably afraid of the uniform she was wearing, so he didn't dare to say anything, just asked her how she knew it was heart failure.

I was afraid that Li Qian would be 'disrespectful' again, so I quickly explained first, and asked him some things about Xia Rui, hoping to figure out the causes and consequences of Xia Rui's resurrection.

As a result, asking was the same as not asking, and the boss didn't know the specific situation, only knowing that Xia Rui's father had published an obituary.

And because Xia Rui did not have a family before her death and did not leave any descendants, according to traditional rules, the funeral was all simple, but I didn't expect that the funeral was about to come out, and Xia Rui came back to life.

Because they are neighbors and a village, everyone is more or less related by blood, and the night before the funeral, the boss was also there to help keep the vigil.

Each place is different, and the customs and habits are naturally different, and they are not popular to seal the coffin before the funeral.

In fact, I can't understand this, it's okay in winter, but in summer, the temperature is high, the corpse is easy to decay, and the coffin is not sealed, who can bear the smell.

"That night's wake, in the first half of the night, Mr. Taoist priest knocked and beat, and there were quite a lot of people. But in the second half of the night, everyone fell asleep, and there were only a few close relatives left who were really guarding the mourning hall. The boss paused and pulled out his cigarette case.

The boss first handed me one, then lit it for himself, took a few sharp puffs, and then continued: "Although I am not a close relative, I didn't go to sleep because I was in charge." As soon as there were fewer people, the atmosphere of the mourning hall instantly became different, and they were panicked, so everyone played cards in a circle, and they didn't look at the coffin, which was out of sight and out of mind. ”

"Xia Rui will live later?" Li Qian was anxious and couldn't help asking.

The boss nodded, squinted at the darkness outside the store, seemed to fall into memory, and said: "Originally, everyone was playing cards, but one of the young people suddenly wanted to go to the toilet, and when he turned around, he saw Xia Rui sitting up from the coffin and looking at them stupidly. ”

And the young man, who was almost frightened at that time, trembled and shouted a trick on the corpse, and then ran out violently.

Those who played cards reacted quickly, and immediately looked behind them when they heard the sound, and without exception, they shouted almost at the same time.

There are many scam corpses in horror movies, but in reality, this situation really has to happen, and it is false to say that you are not afraid of that absolute force.

Fortunately, the Taoist chief who was sitting in the night at that time was still there, just lying next to the mourning hall to recuperate, and woke up after hearing the movement.

The Taoist who dared to sit on the big night, more or less Taoist and courageous, saw the deceased deceitful corpse, and did not seem too surprised, and took the magic weapon and asked the four apprentices to prepare the practice.

But before the ritual could be done, Xia Rui opened her mouth and said that she wanted to drink water.

This time, everyone was stunned again, and even the Taoist chief was confused, this is not like a corpse, but like a resurrection.

Xia Rui's father was also present at the time, and when he saw his daughter's 'fraudulent corpse', he was first afraid and then happy, and finally had the courage to hand over a glass of water.

Xia Rui called Dad, and naturally took the water cup and took a few sips, and there was nothing abnormal.

Just in case, the Taoist chief also made a special check to confirm that Xia Rui was indeed not a corpse or was taken away by a lonely ghost, but really came back to life.

The funeral turned into a happy event, and everyone should be happy, but Xia Rui's father couldn't get up, his daughter was alive, but his wife was still paralyzed on the bed, and the hard days behind were still very long.

However, people should be content and happy, Xia Rui's father asked the people who guarded the spirit to demolish the mourning hall that night, pretending that his daughter had never had an accident.

Speaking of which, the boss finally finished the story, and the cigarette butts on the ground fell into a pile.

And I didn't want to waste time if I didn't ask any useful clues, so I motioned to Li Qian to prepare to pay and retreat.

When the boss saw that we were leaving, he suddenly remembered something, stopped us, and asked us vigilantly who we were.

"Police." Li Qian's voice replied deliberately very loudly.

On the way back to the hotel, Li Qian told me that she was in a hurry to go out this morning and forgot to change her clothes, but she was afraid that it would be inconvenient to do things later in a police uniform, so she had to buy another set.

I was too lazy to go shopping, so I wanted Li Qian to go alone, but after thinking about it, this area has not been peaceful recently, and if she really encounters something, I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to the police.

In the end, I followed Li Qian around, but I didn't see a clothing store, thinking that I was idle, so I asked Li Qian about the victim.

This time, Li Qian did not use internal secrets as an excuse to give me a general introduction to the situation of several victims.

So far, there have been a total of six victims, all of whom are women, and their ages are in the range of 25-30 years old.

"It's really a bad taste, picking on vulnerable groups." I couldn't help but curse.

Li Qian didn't seem to agree with my statement, and asked, "Chen Poxiao, do you think they are a vulnerable group?" ”

"Sort of!" I replied.

Li Qian laughed and said, "Then your criterion for judging is their gender or occupation?" ”

I was choked with questions, whether it was gender or occupation, it was with a discriminatory colored vision, but the reality was not exactly that.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Li Qian continued to ask, "Do you know their names?" ”

I shook my head in the negative.

"It's normal, people who watch the news don't know, no one knows their names. But I have to know that this is my duty. Li Qian's mood is not very stable.

"Do you really suspect that the murderer is Xia Rui?" I sighed.

Li Qian was silent for a while, and replied, "Actually, we also found some things similar to magic weapons at the scene of the crime, so I can't think of anyone else besides Xia Rui." And even if the murderer is not Xia Rui, he is also a person related to her, and her death certificate was issued by me, so she should not be alive. ”
