I really didn't calculate how long it took Yun Duruo to be held by me from the time she bumped into my arms to the time she finally pushed me away, I just knew that she buried her head in my chest and shivered all the time, in fact, even if I deal with corpses every day, when I see such a strange scene, my reaction is not much better.

There was a faint chill on his back, only Han Yu's reaction was normal, and he was even in the mood to tease Yun Duruo, the handcuffs he picked up from the ground and the pistol that Yinyue had been guarding were sent by him to Yun Duruo.

"You see if I wear it myself, or if you bring it to me." Han Yu's grinning appearance was in stark contrast to Yun Duruo's shocked expression, and he didn't even forget to tease me. "You say I look good with my left hand or my right hand, or you choose first, hehe."

Yun Duruo and I ignored him, fifteen minutes later, the colleagues of the criminal police team and the forensic department arrived, Yun Duruo tried to calm himself down, I suddenly felt that she was not easy, a woman led a group of big men, obviously scared, and could not show weakness in front of them, so she had to hold on.

The forensic department cleaned out a total of four corpses from the bed board we found, facing upwards, limbs and heads were nailed to the bed board, Han Yu corrected that it was not an ordinary iron nail after seeing the nail, it was a coffin nail, because there was no autopsy, the cause of death and the time of death of these four corpses could not be judged for the time being, but judging from the color of the corpses and the degree of dry skin, the time of death of these four corpses was at least more than five years.

Chu Tianqi saw me sitting on the steps of the second floor without saying a word, he didn't talk much, but he was very careful, he took out a box of cigarettes and put it in my hand, I looked down and saw that I grabbed it from Song Chi a few days ago and asked him to learn to smoke.

"Seeing that you have worked hard all night, you don't go back tonight, I started the autopsy overnight, you better go back and rest first."

I didn't answer, just patted him on the shoulder gratefully, Chu Tianqi nodded silently, and went back with my colleagues from the identification department, I tore open the cigarette case, took out a cigarette and put it to my mouth, just took out the lighter, and suddenly caught a glimpse of Yun Duruo sitting next to me, she has always been strict, and she doesn't even allow smoking in the office, let alone the scene of the crime.

Unexpectedly, Yun Duruo actually tilted his head to the side, and his voice was very small.

"Take the cigarette butts away after smoking, don't stay at the scene, don't drop the ashes on the ground, hurry up and finish smoking, I will reorganize the case with you and see if there is anything missing."

I held the lighter and didn't press it, and suddenly I realized that she was actually cute when she didn't lift the bar with me, so I put away my cigarette and stood up.

"It's not too early, let's start now."

Han Yu and Yinyue became the people who were watched the most at the scene except for the corpse found under the bed, every colleague who came up from downstairs would look at Yinyue in surprise, and then look at Han Yu blankly for a while, after all, it was a new face, and Han Yu always took the trouble to explain to everyone at the top of the stairs.

It's a Hiromi.

After cleaning up the scene, it was almost dawn, Yun Duruo beckoned the colleagues of the criminal police team to go back first, she and I and Han Yu stayed, and there were only three of us left in Daoyuantang, I knew in my heart that it was a serious violation of discipline to let Han Yu appear here, but Han Yu used facts to confirm those heresies that had bewitched and confused the public in her heart, but she and I were the same, and I really didn't think about how to make other colleagues accept the process of finding the body.

"You can think that Zhang Songlin's instinctive reaction will hide in the cabinet, which means that your logical reasoning is not bad." Yun Duruo took out the broken nail I found in the wooden cabinet before and said. "If I didn't make a mistake, Zhang Songlin was hiding in the wooden cabinet at that time, but he was still found and wanted to drag him out, and when Zhang Songlin tried to resist, his nails broke in the cracks of the wooden cabinet."

I nodded, the other slipper was found at the edge of the steps on the second floor, I had seen the forensic department's on-site exploration report, there were traces of being dragged at the scene, the slipper was dropped in the process, and a broken mahogany sword was found near the slipper.

"This shows two points, first, on the night Zhang Songlin died, someone did come in." Yun Duruo looked around, bowed his head, and said after pondering for a while. "Second, after Zhang Songlin was attacked, he used this peachwood sword to resist, but it was finally broken, and the forensics department only extracted Zhang Songlin's fingerprints on the peachwood sword."

"Where was the Peachwood Sword found?" Han Yu suddenly interjected beside him.

I walked to the location where the broken peachwood sword was found and pointed it to Han Yu, Han Yu looked around and took out his peachwood sword, handed it to me, and said solemnly.

"The peach wood sword is a Taoist magic weapon, because the peach wood is the essence of the five woods, also known as the fairy wood, also known as the ghost wood."

"What the hell are you trying to say?" Yun Duruo asked bluntly, but his voice was not as strong as before.

"The mahogany material is soft and easy to break, just like this one in your hand." Han Yu pointed to the peachwood sword in my hand and said unhurriedly. "If Zhang Songlin really wants to resist, there is an extremely sharp Longquan sword on the sword rack closest to him, but he just took a peach wood sword that does no harm, don't you think there is a problem?"

The sword frame that Han Yu said was a wooden frame used for decoration on the wall, on which were placed several various swords, and it could be seen that Zhang Songlin had a soft spot for weapons, and the broken peach wood sword was placed on the top layer.

"On this issue, I also wondered, because according to Zhang Songlin's height, from the perspective of the broken sword was lost, he was facing away from the sword frame at the time, if he wanted to resist, no matter what he chose to defend himself, the closest to him was the sword that had been bladed, it stands to reason that he should just take a sword that he could reach, but he chose the topmost peachwood sword." Yun Duruo frowned, nodded slightly, and looked a little puzzled.

"The reason is very simple, Zhang Songlin took the peachwood sword because he knew that he was not dealing with people!" Han Yu took the peachwood sword in my hand and said calmly. "The peach wood ghost gate can suppress the evil qi and control the hundred ghosts, so the peach wood sword is used to exorcise ghosts in addition to the town house to ward off evil spirits."

Yun Duruo and I glanced at each other, a few hours ago, when Han Yu said this, we would not listen to it, but now we can't find a reason to refute him.

"Ghost ...... You said that the peachwood sword is an exorcism, but Zhang Songlin even broke the peachwood sword, not the same death in the basement, so speaking, this ghost is not afraid of the peachwood sword. I rubbed my forehead and really didn't want to raise the bar with him, but I always felt that I believed Han Yu and said that I was a little sorry for my professionalism.

"Zhang Songlin is a good-for-nothing liar, he has no way at all, the peach wood sword is a piece of wood in his hand, and he has no effect on holding it." Han Yu replied confidently.

Yun Duruo took a step forward, probably not wanting to be guided by Han Yu's thoughts, and continued to reorganize her case, whether it was a person or a ghost, Zhang Songlin broke the mirror in dodge after the peachwood sword was broken, and the fragments of glass were scattered all over the ground, judging from the on-site investigation report, slight scratches were found on the wooden steps, Zhang Songlin was grabbed by his feet and dragged downstairs, and he tried to resist and left traces on the ground with his nails.

The situation in the basement was basically much simpler, the reason why Yun Duruo and I found Zhang Songlin's body was because the teacup that I accidentally touched was infiltrated into the ground, and Yun Duruo deduced that there was a passage underground.

But the crux of the matter is that from all kinds of signs at the scene, on the night of Zhang Songlin's death, there was a second person in this Daoyuan Hall besides him, but Zhang Songlin had the habit of pasting charms on doors and windows before he died, and all the charms were pasted from the inside, but before Yun Duruo and I came in, the charms on the doors and windows were intact, in other words, from the night of Zhang Songlin's death, Yun Duruo and I were the only people who went in.

Zhang Songlin died in the closed Daoyuan Hall.

So if there is a second person in the room, how does that person leave?

In Zhang Songlin's case, I concluded in the autopsy report that he committed suicide, but Zhang Songlin was obviously coerced and in danger that night, there were traces of his resistance at the scene, and there was another mysterious person in the room that night. ｜.

Who is the mysterious other person, why can't I find this person's footprints in the room, after Zhang Songlin died, before Yun Duruo and I went in, no one went in and no one came out, did the mysterious person stay in the Daoyuan Hall all the time?

Or!

When I said this, I looked at Han Yu, I didn't say the next words, I couldn't believe that I actually had such an idea, I could see that Yun Duruo had already guessed what I was thinking, she frowned and didn't agree, but she also didn't object.

Han Yu stretched out his hand to his waist, and when he raised his hand, he had an extra charm, sandwiched between his two fingers, closed his eyes and put it in front of his forehead, silently reciting something in his mouth, raised his hand and waved, the charm floated up and then slowly fell, Han Yu's gaze never left the charm until it fell to the ground, Han Yu picked it up and looked at it.

"Although I said before that Zhang Songlin was not hiding from people, but there should be no dirty things in this place in Daoyuantang, if there is really this talisman that will burn, it seems that I can't help you, I can still help if it's a ghost, so it seems that it is a person who is here that night."

Hearing Han Yu say this, I was a little disappointed, if it was someone who appeared in this room that night, this case would have become a little bizarre, looking at Yun Duruo's expression, I knew that she, like me, had been trying to figure out how this mysterious person had left here these days.

This is also the reason why the butcher did not believe that Zhang Songlin committed suicide, and he asked me to find a reason to convince him, in fact, he wanted me and Yun Duruo to find a way for the mysterious person at the scene to leave
