Chapter 59: Premeditated Murder
"How do you know where the powder came from?"
"Because of the color of the powder, there is a faint light emitted from it, which is the power that a person who has a certain amount of cultivation before death, and retains after death, it will attach to the bones and show such a color."
"And as his descendants, if you take those bone meals, you can also ask some things from your ancestors."
Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but interject, "Then what did he ask that he was attacked by his ancestors?" ”
Baizhou was silent for a while, and then suddenly stepped on the brakes, "We're here!" ”
Through the car window, I looked up and saw that it was a small hotel, and several men standing at the door saw Baizhou and immediately greeted it.
Following behind Baizhou, I listened to those people asking questions, but he didn't say a word, and went straight to the house where Li Sansi lived before his death, and turned back to them and said to them, let them wait outside, and then walked in with me.
The room is not very big, but it is very chic, well ventilated, and the light from the balcony shines through the glass.
On the balcony was a table with a quaint incense burner on top of it, and smoke was rising from it.
Baizhou looked over from here, walked around the room a few more times, and then flipped through a few suspense novels and a few pieces of drawing paper on the bedside table.
When I walked into the house, I was immediately attracted by the incense burner on the table, and when I walked over, I looked at it curiously.
The whole body of this incense burner exudes a kind of blue-yellow, which is very textured to the touch, and when I get closer, I can see a burst of fire when I look inside through the gap in the lid of the incense burner.
But at this moment, I suddenly found something special in the afterglow, and immediately picked up the incense burner, but as soon as I took it, something fell out from under the incense burner.
Block it! I saw a metal object fall on the ground, and when I was about to pick it up, I was preempted by Baizhou and picked it up.
"This!" Seeing that thing, Baizhou turned around in confusion and asked me, "Where did you find this?" ”
I pointed to the censer to signal that it had fallen out of it, and then put the censer back in its original position, "Do you know what this is?" ”
He looked at it a few times before nodding, "I've seen this thing, but I didn't expect it to be in his hands." ”
"What is that for?"
"This thing was originally the patriarch, and there was a drawing recorded in it, about the clan mausoleum, but since the patriarch died, this thing has mysteriously disappeared, I thought it was brought into the clan mausoleum by the patriarch, but I didn't want to appear here."
I looked at the thing and suddenly said, "Could it be that the murderer also wanted to find this thing, and wanted to use the power of that face and bone powder to ask for clues about the ancestral tomb from the mouths of the ancestors." Like you said, you can use these bone meal to invite the ancestors to come up, and if the murderer is hiding in the crowd and waiting for him to bring this face mask, invite the ancestors up and say what he wants to know. ”
"Yes, there's a good possibility!" Holding the metal body, Baizhou said, "Only we know how to use bone powder and face makeup, so the junior brother was plotted. ”
But from this point of view, the murderer did not succeed, but Li Sansi was counterattacked by the power of his ancestors until he died.
There must be a big reason why the murderer knows them so well, and even around Li Sansi, there may be someone who is the murderer, otherwise how could that face be arranged on him?
Thinking about it this way, the murderer is so calculating, he will definitely not give up easily, and now that Baizhou has appeared here, I am afraid that the murderer's killing intent will also be summoned.
Even if the murderer doesn't know that we have got what he wants, he will assume that he can also find what he is looking for from Baizhou.
Since they are senior brothers, Li Sansi's death has become a kind of foreshadowing of Baizhou, and now that we have found what the murderer wants, the situation may be even more dangerous.
I was thinking about whether there was a way to lure the murderer out first, or directly let Baizhou be used as bait, and then ask Inspector Wang for help to arrest the murderer in one fell swoop.
But before he could talk to him, the other party took the first step and said, "The murderer will not give up, I want you to help keep this drawing first?" ”
Without waiting for me to say no, he shoved the metal body into my jacket pocket.
I'm a little surprised, first, this thing is extremely important in the eyes of the murderer, if I kill it, I may not be able to parry, if I lose it, who will it be?
Second, after all, the thing is yours, and it is also related to the deceased, so give me an outsider, how can I stop it.
But he didn't think so, "This thing, only I know what's inside, so I'm not worried that you'll use it to do things that are not good for us, even if the murderer gets it, he won't use it." And if something is placed with me, it is more dangerous, because he will definitely come to me, so that he will not think that it is on you! ”
"But......" I still felt inappropriate, but he interrupted and said, "I just said that I would ask you to help hold it for the time being, and I didn't give it to you, but there are so many of them, and when I ask you for it later, you will have to pay it back." ”
Listening to his honest and unceremonious tone, I was a little disgusted, but I also understood that it was because he was quick to talk, so I didn't care much about it.
Put away this hot potato, I hope to find the murderer as soon as possible and leave this place.
Thinking so, I discussed with Baizhou whether to tell Inspector Wang about the matter, he is so concerned about this case, he should help us!
But Baizhou shook his head and said that this murderer is not an ordinary person, even if we ask Inspector Wang for help, it may not be of any use, and it may even harm him.
Now it's better to keep it a secret from everyone until the murderer is brought out, and then tell everyone.
I thought about it, and I felt that he was quite thoughtful, so I didn't say anything, but when I was about to go out, I bumped into a person head-on.
Raising my head, I saw that this person was in his twenties, wearing a shirt on his upper body and a pair of jeans on his lower body.
Baizhou looked at him a few times, and saw that this person's eyes were evasive, as if he saw that he was a little surprised and nervous.
"I received the news that your master had an accident here, so I rushed over overnight, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late! By the way, what's your name? ”
The one took a few steps back and turned around, "My name is Xiao Tao, and I'm here with Master." ”
Baizhou sighed, and didn't say hello to him again, so he said, "I'm leaving, you can talk to the other senior brothers in a while!" Also, no one is allowed to enter or leave your master's room, and I may come back later!" ”
After dropping this sentence, we left in a hurry, and when we got back to the hospital, it was almost noon.
When we came back, Lao Zhong was talking to Chen Haidong, who woke up, and when he saw us coming in, they all looked over.
I asked Lao Zhong, "What about Dongfang and Liu Ran?" ”
"They went out to eat, why did you come back so quickly, did the murderer find him?"
I was noncommittal, turned around and closed the door, and briefly said a few words to him, saying that the murderer may know a lot about Baizhou and the deceased Li Sansi, so he used that face to invite the ancestors to come up.
After listening to this, Lao Zhong sighed twice, "This is too general, if you really want to do this, why don't you tie up Li Sansi and cast spells directly with him face to face, and still use it in front of so many people?!" ”
I think it may be because in that case, Li Sansi will not agree to the murderer's approach, so the murderer wants to do it without his knowledge.
When Lao Zhong asked about the murderer's true purpose, Baizhou glanced at me, and then pulled Lao Zhong out.
They returned a few minutes later, but it seems that Baizhou had convinced him to ask him for help, but I don't know if he told the truth.
As they spoke, Dongfang and the others also returned, carrying a few bags of things in their hands, and we ate in the ward.
After eating, Baizhou said goodbye and left, saying that he still had to inform everyone of his brother's death, and there were still many things to deal with.
I understood what he meant, he was going to lure the snake out of the hole, and when he left, he left our phone number, saying that he would notify us as soon as there was news.
During this time in the hospital, we began to study this box, Lao Zhong was very knowledgeable, pointed to the hole in the box and said, this is the way to open the box.
As he spoke, he didn't know where he found a transparent tube for infusion, and after pinching it with his fingers a few times, he carefully inserted it through a hole.
The power in his hand was used very permissively, and he was very careful, for fear of missing the sound in the box.
The room was quiet, and everyone's attention was focused on the box, and even I could hear the sound of the infusion tube rubbing against the metal in the box.
After waiting so nervously for more than a minute, we finally heard a gadda sound from the box, and immediately the old bell withdrew his hand and quickly pulled out the infusion tube.
But when we pulled it out, we found that there was an obvious pinch mark on the tube, which should be because it touched a spring in the lock center, so a lock buckle ejected, and the marks left by biting into this hole.
After all, this is plastic, and many places are not flexible enough, but it is certain that the method of unlocking must have something to do with these holes.
Confirming this idea, we used the other end of this infusion tube to insert it again, this time the old bell had experience, put his ear on the box, carefully searched for the change of the friction sound between the box and the infusion tube, and found out the way to unlock the hole in the hole.
But even if there is such a direction, but Lao Zhong is not a professional lockpicker after all, he does not have such a keen hearing system, and he can't grasp the flexibility of the infusion tube in his hand.
In between, we had to look for something more suitable, soft and controllable, and we needed someone who could freely handle it to open the chest.
