"Inspector Wang, let's not meddle in this case, I'm afraid things will ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the Inspector Wang became more angry and stood up violently, "This case is in our hands for a day, there is no reason to shirk, I don't believe in any ghosts and gods." ”

The man glanced at the people around him a few more times before finally coming over and placing the file bag in his hand in front of Inspector Wang, "This is the face of the deceased, we found some scales on it, but according to my examination, it is impossible to create the kind of flame that the witnesses said." ”

Inspector Wang nodded, opened the file bag, and while looking at it, he asked, "Who did the deceased have been in contact with before the crime?" ”

"Before the incident, the deceased had been away for a period of time, and when he came back, there was nothing unusual about it, he performed on stage on time, and he did not contact anyone again during this period."

"So, did anyone know where he went at the time, and if there was anything special that happened at the time of the crime?"

"No one knew that he had been there, because time was tight, and the deceased was the steward of the regiment, so no one dared to ask him more. As for the time of the crime, because the scene was very chaotic, no one noticed what happened, but according to the trace report we brought back, there was nothing suspicious at the scene of the crime. ”

After hearing this, Inspector Wang spread the file on the table, "In other words, apart from this face and the scale powder on it, there is no more useful information?" ”

"Yes for now!"

Raising his head, Inspector Wang glanced at us a few more times, raised his hand and motioned for us, and said, "Please come out of any of your witnesses, I have a few questions I would like to ask." ”

Liu Ran and Dongfang Yingsheng and I walked over, and saw Inspector Wang asking, "Have you seen the deceased before?" ”

The three of us shook our heads to say no, and the other glanced down at the file and said, "Then why did you rush up and try to remove the mask of the deceased when everyone was leaving in a hurry?" ”

When we made the record, the police didn't actually ask us in detail about the details at that time, or even our thoughts, and now Inspector Wang's question is largely a guess on his part.

I remember we only talked, saw, and didn't even focus on our intentions when we came to power.

Hearing this question, Dongfang and Liu Ran were also a little suspicious, in fact, on the way to the police station, they asked me in a low voice, but I didn't say.

Hearing Inspector Wang's question, I began to answer my thoughts at that time.

In that case, I had a very strong idea, like obsessive-compulsive disorder, when I was engrossed in guessing something, and seeing all the details of these things come true, the final result made me extremely eager to know as soon as possible.

Hearing my answer, Inspector Wang suddenly smiled and said, "You said you felt something before the crime, so you rushed to the stage?" ”

I nodded affirmatively, adding, "Actually, I'm not sure, but I did it at the time." ”

Inspector Wang stared at me for a while, and then said meaningfully, "If! I mean if. If you had known that things were going to turn out the way they are now, wouldn't you have stopped them when you had a premonition! ”

For such a question, I felt a little familiar, as if somewhere, another person had asked me the same question, I don't know if he was intentional, or if I was thinking too much.

Calming down, I gathered my thoughts and replied, "Maybe, but now I know that I wasn't really sure if that hunch was true, and if I had done what I had done, it might have been worse!" ”

Inspector Wang smiled and shook his head, "Then let's go back to the case, if you knew what the murderer did at the time, and you were afraid that if you tried to stop this, you would set yourself on fire, so you rejected your plan to save people." ”

Hearing what he meant, I was shocked, and I said to myself, could it be that he suspected that I had something to do with the murderer?

"There is a saying, I don't kill Beren, Beren will die because of me!" Inspector Wang said, staring at me motionlessly, as if trying to find the answer he wanted from me.

I couldn't stand it anymore because he looked at me, so I said, "If I had anything to do with the murderer, or even knew that he was going to commit murder, I would have left a long time ago, and I wouldn't be stupid enough to wade into troubled waters!" ”

"Yes, this idea is very intuitive, but just like the weirdness shown in this case, everyone thinks that this is a supernatural event, the murderer is a ghost, and everyone has also seen the process of ghost killing, but no one will look for the reason, because the facts they see are the most terrifying, the most avoidable things."

When he said this, I felt very suspicious, but I had no reason to kill someone I didn't know.

I didn't want to refute, it would make him more suspicious, and I didn't want to follow his speculation, so I pretended to be confused and said, "We are three people together, why does Inspector Wang only ask me alone?" ”

He glanced at Dongfang a few times, then at Liu Ran a few times, and finally waved his hand, didn't say anything more, and let us go back.

I was stunned, and I couldn't figure out what this man was thinking. If he had doubted me so much, he would have taken me down next, but after a few glances at them, he let me go.

Just when I was puzzled, Inspector Wang asked the others to come over and asked several questions in a row, but one of them was completely irrelevant to the case.

"In the last few days, have the deceased told you anything about life and death with ghosts and gods, or graves, such supernatural things, or even with one of you who has been to a place where the dead are stayed!"

It's strange to say, when Inspector Wang asked this, everyone didn't answer, and they seemed to be afraid of something.

When Inspector Wang asked impatiently again, someone replied, "No!" ”

Tonight, we don't have time to go back, the case is in the hands of this Inspector Wang, everyone is not happy, and when Inspector Wang and a few policemen go to see the body, a few of us have the time to take a nap.

But after just half an hour of sleep, we were woken up by a policeman, and it brought us unexpected news.

He said that Inspector Wang asked us to go back first, leaving only a mobile phone number, saying that he would contact us if there was anything.

I had a bunch of question marks in my heart, but I didn't have time to ask at all, and my heart said that I didn't do anything anyway, although I don't know why this Inspector Wang changed his attention, but I still feel strange to let him go.

Thinking about this, I was relieved, and when I was about to leave, I saw that only the three of us were released, and the others were stopped back.

Through the glass door, I asked a police officer, "Why didn't they go with us?" ”

The man smiled at me, "We don't know about this, Inspector Wang only told you to go, okay, let's go now, lest our Inspector change his mind!" ”

After leaving the police station, a car stopped in front of us, and the driver rolled down the window and said to us, "Get in the car!" ”

We looked at this driver, he was none other than Lao Zhong, and I had a lot of questions to ask when I saw him, but I didn't know where to start.

After getting into the car, Liu Ran took the lead in asking, "What else did you find in the ancient tomb!" ”

While starting the car, Lao Zhong said, "Now is not the time to talk, let's find a place to rest first!" ”

Soon, we were back in the hospital, and in Chen Haidong's ward, Lao Zhong took out a metal box from his backpack.

Under the bright lights of the room, the box is square, with the Warring States pattern engraved on the edges and corners, and on each of the six planes, a strange pair of flowers and vines are depicted.

The flower has twelve petals, with a clear texture on it, and along the periphery of the petals, seven or eight vines extend out, intertwined and spread around, and between these mantles there are twenty-one holes of various sizes.

Looking at the pattern on the box, I fumbled through the holes again and asked the old bell, "This is what you found in the ancient tomb?" ”

He nodded, "Yes, in that burial chamber, there is a white stone platform with many vine inscriptions carved on it, and this box was found on it, and there is one more thing!" ”

As he spoke, he took out a cylinder made of metal from his pocket, handed it to Liu Ran, and said, "Do you recognize this thing?" ”

After Liu Ran took the thing, he first looked at it carefully, and then the look on his face changed, and he immediately raised his head and asked excitedly, "How can this thing be in your hands?!" ”

"It was also found in an ancient tomb, do you know whose thing it is?"

"It's our family, the small seal engraved on it is an ancient text, I saw it in my father's study before, this thing must have fallen by Liu Qingchun, if this was found in the tomb, then he must have been to that tomb, do you remember the location, let's go back and find it, maybe there are other important clues?"

Old Zhong shook his head, "I don't need it, because when I found that tomb, I found that there were traces of being blown up, this thing was found in a pile of rubble, and on those rubble, there are some strange words, I have seen it a few times, it seems to be a technique that can make people practice the art of immortality." ”

"That burial chamber was blown up!" Liu Ran said to himself, as if he had thought of what we had found in the inscription.

Could it be that Liu Qingchun found the exercise that changed their lives from the place that Lao Zhong said, and then they blew up the stone wall where the exercise was kept.

Thinking like this, I asked about the rest of the matter, and I listened to Lao Zhong continue, "Among those rubble, I searched for a long time before I found an entrance, which was originally sealed by gravel, but I could feel the obvious flow of air nearby, although it was very weak, but I was sure that it was not sealed, maybe Liu Qingchun came back before and wanted to find a way from here, but I don't know why, he gave up after finding half of it." ”

Following Lao Zhong's words, I seemed to have walked into the tomb that Liu Qingchun had missed, and it was there that I found this box and saw the pattern on it.

After saying these discoveries, Lao Zhong put his eyes back on this box, looked at the hole on it and said, "This box may contain the secret of the exercise that Liu Qingchun obtained, but it is not easy to open it!" ”

When I touched the texture of the box, it looked like iron, but when I tapped it with the metal key a few times, it sounded like it wasn't iron.
