Chapter 116: Fish Lock
No wonder when I saw her painting I felt familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I met that person, and at the time I thought it couldn't be so with my memory, but now it seems that it was because what I saw was not a human face, but a locked fish face!
I reached out and shuddered to pick up the fish lock, and found that the fish lock had not been pried open, but had been opened by someone.
Because this is a kanji combination lock, if you want to open it, you must unlock the open password. So when I picked up the lock, I saw the four words of the password - those four password words were actually very simple, and I couldn't help but hate myself for being so stupid that I didn't even react to this kind of hidden head poem.
That poem was originally four sentences - "I am boundless, neither human nor material, not god." Good knowledge of the end of the sun and the moon, similar to the wind and clouds of heaven and earth", and the first word of these four sentences is the password of this fish lock, which seems to provoke and makes some kind of declaration there-
"I am not a good type".
The ancients attached great importance to good luck and evil, so generally all kinds of household objects are either engraved with auspicious things or written with auspicious words. Therefore, it is very rare to see a sentence of Tibetan poem "I am not a good class" written on the fish lock on the fish lock today.
This kind of thing is not nothing, but only occurs in some special circumstances, such as the warning text on the tomb, the threatening language in the ancestral hall of the temple, and so on.
But the fish lock is just a small object that locks the box, and "I am not a good type" has neither a particularly strong warning meaning, nor a very powerful intimidation effect, at best, it is just a self-smearing of itself. Therefore, if the ancients made Chinese character combination locks, they probably would not have left this strange sentence as a mystery.
So this strange fish lock shouldn't be that simple, and the contents of the box locked by the fish lock must be a little strange. When I thought of this, I wanted to call Lin Ying directly and ask them if they had found anything in the box. But after thinking about it, I still put down my phone - because if Lin Ying asked Shen Yu again, I would have to help Hua Yu lie, and I wouldn't be able to do anything if I came and went.
In any case, this old house of the Kui family looks very strange, the secret passage hundreds of years ago, the four "ghost incense" in the incense burner, as well as the strange photos on the dresser and the strange fish lock in the cabinet, these are all things that are old, and the whole family living here is still doomed, it seems that the secret of the old house of the Kui family can not be solved overnight.
I was figuring it out to myself, but Hua Wei walked towards me, she picked up the fish lock with a gloomy face, looked at it twice, and then directly held the lock tightly in her hand.
I was about to say that this is the key physical evidence in the future, and you can't mess around, otherwise it's like the police in the online drama, picking up a bucket of instant noodles from the scene and soaking it to eat it. But she walked so fast that I was a little panicked to be left alone in this gloomy room, so I had to follow her quickly.
Walking out of the main house of the Kui family's old house, I suddenly felt the sun shining, and it felt like I had returned to the world from hell. Even Hua Fei couldn't help but open his arms and take a deep breath of fresh air.
"Let's go, dear." She turned back to me.
"Let's go? Where to? Didn't you say you were coming here? Just look at a few rooms and it's over? Don't check it out? β
"After the investigation, didn't you find the person you were looking for with frigidity?" She opened her palms and showed me the fish lock.
"Don't make trouble, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, you are not allowed to become a spirit, even a fox cannot become a spirit, and you can't lock it."
"I'm not making a fuss, don't you think this fish's face looks like it's made of a human face?"
I looked down and felt that she had a point. Before, I always felt that the face of the fish lock was a little strange, the nose was not like the nose and the eyes were not like the eyes, but when I looked closely, I found that they were not so much the eyes and mouth of the fish, but more like the mouth of a human.
However, after all, the appearance of this fish has been artistically processed, and it is not consistent with the appearance of real humans. What's more, judging from the shape and wear of the fish lock, it should have been an item made a long time ago, so even if it was made by humanoids, the person it imitated probably did not exist in this world for a long time.
Could it be that the man we are looking for is a dead man?
Could it be that the dead can still be active in reality, incarnated as a "ghost in flowers", and become a criminal master suspected by Shen Yu? Isn't that a ghost committing a crime?
Wouldn't it be a little absurd and weird to reason like this? However, Hua Hu had heard about this place before, and she had clearly said that there were no ghosts here. So what's going on?
These questions popped up in my mind one after another, but at this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of unsealing and unlocking from outside the courtyard gate of the Kui family's old house.
I was stunned for a moment, although it was a specially appointed consultant of the criminal investigation detachment, but we jumped over the wall and jumped into the house to investigate by ourselves, which must have violated the procedure.
If someone from the police comes in and bumps into her, first, it is difficult to explain, second, it is estimated that it will cause trouble to Lin Ying, and third, and most importantly, Hua Yu is not Shen Yu, sometimes it is difficult for me to guarantee that she will not be able to help but do something on her own, and then make some embarrassing situation.
When I was in a hurry, I felt Hua Hu suddenly grab my shoulder again, and then another gust of wind swept away, I was defenseless, screamed, opened my eyes and found that I had been grabbed by her and jumped on the roof of the old mansion.
"See, innate divine power, movement function, awesome, right?" She leaned into my ear and whispered to show off.
Awesome is awesome, this speed and strength can basically be said to be flying around.
But I was suddenly caught, mentioned, jumped, and flew by her, and my heart was already pounding, and the whole person panicked.
But fortunately, she was quick with her hands and eyes, and as soon as we leaned over the roof, we saw two people push open the courtyard door and walk in.
The main house of the old house of the Kui family is "one roof", so a 30-centimeter-high openwork barrier wall was built on the south side facing the courtyard.
We were lying behind the barrier wall, looking down through the pores of the openwork, and were surprised to find that there were two people entering the courtyard, one was a young forensic doctor from the police station, and the other was a twenty-two or three-year-old girl with a ponytail.
"What is he doing here?" I whispered, "Who is that woman?" β
Seeing me muttering, Hua Hu also came over to ask me who that person was, of course I can't explain it to her now, so I can only make a "shhh" gesture at her, and she snorted dissatisfiedly like a little girl.
Ju Xincheng took the girl to the bottom of the locust tree, pointed to the deep pit dug into the tunnel, and said a little as if to show off: "This is full of blood and flesh residue from the corpses, and this is where they extracted the biological evidence that dayβthey actually didn't get it very well, so I applied to come back today." β
The ponytail girl let out an "oh", seemingly uninterested in what Ju Xincheng said.
Ju Xincheng saw that the girl's reaction was cold, as if he had been poured cold water on his head, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I'll go down to collect physical evidence, you can turn around here slowly." β
