Chapter 16: Blue Sonata (Fire and Water)

While he was talking, there was a shout from the temple. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When Xu Tian and Teacher Jin returned to the temple, Shang Shuai's face had already turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Xu Tian asked worriedly.

"Again...... Something happened again! A corpse was found in the rocks below the waterfall. Shang Shuai said with the mobile phone that had not yet hung up.

When the three of them rushed to the bottom of the waterfall, the body had been carried to the shore, and the appearance of the deceased could not be distinguished from the physiognomy, the skin had been soaked and no human form, but judging from the physical appearance of the deceased, it should be a man, and he was not very old.

"Who found the body?" Xu Tian asked.

"The workers who cleaned the river, because the gate was just closed, the staff of the scenic spot organized everyone to clean up the river, this kind of artificial river will be very filthy if it is not cleaned up for a long time, and when it was cleaned up to the bottom of the waterfall, the three staff found the body together." Shang Shuai said.

"Look at the clothes of the deceased, it shouldn't be the staff of the scenic spot, is it a tourist?"

"I don't know, I can only use it for DNA testing."

"Where exactly was the body found?"

"Between the two rocks below the waterfall are artificial rocks, which look the same as natural rocks for the sake of realism."

"Judging from the degree of immersion of the body, it has been at least more than two days, but the cause of death is not drowning, there is no water in the lungs of the deceased, the fatal injury is a strangulation on the neck, and the person was soaked in water after being strangled." Teacher Jin said.

"And I don't think the first crime scene is the waterfall, the waterfall is still very strong this morning, if the body is dropped from the top of the waterfall, the chance of getting stuck in the water rock is very small, normally speaking, the body should be washed away by the strong current of the waterfall. But it is unlikely that it will be thrown into the water under the waterfall, because there is no foothold under the waterfall, and now the valve is closed, otherwise it would be difficult to escape from standing underneath. Xu Tian said.

"You're right, since Fang Lu's disappearance this morning, there have been people guarding the waterfall, so it is impossible for the murderer to throw the body on the waterfall, but there is only one way to get around the waterfall, and that is the waterway where the waterfall flows." Teacher Jin said.

"That is, the murderer transported the body to the bottom of the waterfall and then stuck the body between two rocks, pretending to be drowning? But why did the murderer do this? Could it be ......," Xu Tian said in horror.

"That's right, it's that curse, first of all, Hao Minghui, it's the first purgatory, the hanging beam. Then there is Jiang Yi, the third purgatory, buried alive, but I don't understand why Jiang Yi's body was put in the temple. This young man is the second purgatory, flooded, the order of death should be correct, this young man did die before Jiang Yi, but we found it relatively late. Teacher Jin said.

"Can you tell when the flooded person died?" Xu Tian asked.

"The time of death was about noon today, but the young man was soaked for too long, and it was seriously inconsistent with the time of death."

"If that's the case, it can only show one thing, the young man was taken when he was soaked, and the murderer made him not die while soaking, presumably with breathing equipment."

"Another brutal homicide."

Buzzing......

Shang Shuai's mobile phone rang again, in this short hour, Shang Shuai had received two murder notices in a row, and now Shang Shuai began to panic when he heard the ringing of his mobile phone.

After putting down the phone, Shang Shuai's face was completely stiff, and Xu Tian and Teacher Jin had already judged the next scene.

A charred corpse was found behind the temple of Zhinian Tai Sui not far from the waterfall, saying that it was a charred corpse, but the head of the deceased was not scorched, but the body of the deceased had been burned to the point that it could not be seen.

The charred corpse was abandoned in the grass on the edge of the cliff, and judging from the traces of dragging the charred corpse, it should have been dragged out of the temple of the ruling Tai Sui.

"The deceased had a frightened face, a very painful look on his face, and needless to say, the deceased also experienced a horrific scene." Teacher Jin said.

"Seeing his body being scorched by the flames, his frightened but powerless eyes were very terrifying, at that time, the deceased's head should have been covered with a protective shield, and his body was fixed somewhere, and the cruelty was no less than Jiang Yi and the person who was flooded." Xu Tian said.

"And it also corresponds to the fourth purgatory, the fire purgatory." Teacher Jin said.

"The deceased's face is clear, and he is about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, if my speculation is correct, the deceased whose body was scorched by the fire and the deceased who was soaked in water should be Fang Lu's two classmates." Xu Tian analyzed.

"It's very simple to be firm with these two people, just contact the county police department, and now people in the whole county are looking for these two people." Shang Shuai said.

After doing a good job of collecting evidence, Xu Tian and Teacher Jin followed the traces of the deceased being dragged to the temple of Zhinian Taisui.

This temple is much more luxuriously decorated than the temple of the god of blessing, and the inside is about the same size as the temple of the god of blessing, but the temple of the Tai Sui does not have an incense burner.

There is a sacrificial metal box in front of the statue of the god Tai Sui, and the smell of charred corpses in the temple has not yet dissipated, judging from the traces, the deceased should have been burned alive in this metal box.

"Things have become serious, and I'm worried about Fang Lu now." Xu Tian said.

"There are four homicides in one day at the same time, and they all correspond to the cursed purgatory, I am worried that the murderer this time will play the game of continuous homicides, and now the people we need to protect are not only Uncle Fang, but also the three people who are with Jiang Yi, it is also possible that the murderer is among them, and they should be controlled immediately." Teacher Jin said.

"But!" Shang Shuai looked a little embarrassed. "I'm just a small cop in town, and I'm not qualified to order an arrest."

"Protect the scene, although there is no clue to the murderer, but the suspect is on the surface, and everyone who can be related to the case can be arraigned overnight, including Uncle Fang." Xu Tian said.

……

In a dark space, the sound of rapid wheezing filled the surroundings, Fang Lu felt that he was about to suffocate, at this time Xu Tian and they were nearby, Fang Lu could hear Xu Tian and Teacher Jin talking.

But Fang Lu couldn't speak, and she didn't know what state she was in, it was so dark that she couldn't see her fingers.

However, Fang Lu was very pleased, fortunately he had the opportunity to return to the hotel room to leave a message, for Xu Tian, Fang Lu was still very confident, but he didn't know if the string of numbers could be cracked by Xu Tian, because Fang Lu himself felt that the digital information he left was very unreliable.
