It was only at this point that I had a more detailed understanding of the case. The police did not recover many items from the crime scene, including a stove, and a lot of unburned coal was found in the stove. The police have identified this stove as the cause of death of Lao Jiu and others.

Winters in Minato are still very cold, and some rental houses usually provide stoves and coal to keep residents warm. Lao Jiu and several people died of carbon monoxide poisoning, and the only one who will cause carbon monoxide poisoning at the scene is this stove.

It can be said that the police have not made any progress on this case so far. The old-fashioned apartment, with no surveillance cameras, was visited by the police, but no eyewitnesses claimed to have seen anyone suspicious.

After reading the file for a while, Luo Feng saw that I didn't speak, and asked me if I saw anything, I focused on the autopsy report of the forensic doctor, and this time it took several minutes. Luo Feng was an anxious person, and he asked me if the food was really eaten after death.

I shook my head: "When you die, you can't eat. ”

As soon as a person dies, it is not only the digestive system that stops, but also the peristalsis of the esophagus, and without the peristalsis of the esophagus, it is impossible for food to be sent to the stomach, even if it is impossible. I immediately made a judgment: "It's just some kind of trick, these foods are definitely eaten by Lao Jiu and them before they died." ”

Chen Fan was a little surprised, he asked me who I was and how I knew so much. I didn't answer him and continued to analyze. The conclusions made by forensic doctors are also full of contradictions, professional forensic doctors know that it is impossible for people to consume after death, and they will conclude that the food is ingested after death, simply because the food is basically not digested.

Regarding the identification of the time of death, the traditional method is to judge according to the methods of corpse spots, corpse stiffness or corpse temperature, but the traditional identification method has too large errors. At that time, the protein molecular measurement method was not popular, and the Minato District Police used the food digestion theory measurement method. With the forensic technology at that time, there was no way to give a very accurate time of death, and the forensic doctor repeatedly and through various arguments, the final presumption of death was a week before the discovery of the body.

The autopsy report given by the medical examiner claimed that some food residues were also found in the deceased's trachea. This made me even more sure that the food was swallowed before the four of them died. If it is really a ghost who eats food, and chokes on the food into the trachea, this makes people feel ridiculous. As for why the food in the body of the deceased was not digested, it is likely that the deceased ate it when he was between life and death.

But I'm still not sure that the process of carbon monoxide poisoning deaths is relatively long, and there are four of them, and it is impossible that none of them found an air abnormality. They didn't escape, it must be because they couldn't. Before people die, where do they have the heart to eat, and they eat so much in one go. Lao Jiu's skills are not bad, there is no bleeding on their bodies, and there are no traces of struggle and fighting, even in the case of poisoning, it is more difficult to forcibly feed without leaving traces of struggle.

Reasoning again and again, being overturned again and again.

There are four major doubts in the case.

The first suspicion is the food that Lao Jiu and a few people ate in.

The second suspicion is the time of Lao Jiu's death.

The third suspicion is that the boss found a dead coin with the fingerprints of the deceased.

The fourth is the bloody handprints in the scene of the crime and the confessions of nearby residents.

I quickly memorized the important information on the file, and immediately, we returned the file and left the police station. Chen Fan thought that I would go back to the hotel with him like this, but unexpectedly, I made a decision that embarrassed him: tonight, sneak into the crime scene.

The crime scene was still cordoned off by the police, and it was already difficult to search the files, and the police would not let us go there, so we had to go secretly. Chen Fan was reluctant, but under Luo Feng's threat, Chen Fan had to agree. Before it was dark, the three of us went to Chaoyang Ji, and unexpectedly, Chaoyang Ji was already open.

I immediately remembered the Dao Gu last night, everyone believed in her, she said that the crisis of Chaoyangji had passed, and they naturally believed it. However, there is no one in the huge tea restaurant except for the guys and the boss who are sitting idly. The three of us entered the tea restaurant, and the guy and the owner were very happy and warmly welcomed us to our seats and sat down.

We symbolically ordered some food, and soon, a guy recognized me. Their attitude changed, and they were reluctant to entertain me when they heard that I was haunted by evil spirits. Luo Feng was about to get angry, I stopped him, I glanced at Chen Fan, and he reluctantly took out his documents. The documents in the mainland area are different from those in the port area, but where do these people know so much?

Thinking we were all policemen, the owner had to come and entertain us personally. The boss's face was full of fat, but his face was haggard and pale. I first asked the boss about the female aunt. The boss gave me a phone number, saying that I could contact the female aunt, I wrote down the phone number and continued to ask.

The boss said that the rumors were all true. He confirmed that the money he had received had been turned into Stygian coins, three times in total. And the coin has been taken back to the police station as evidence. The boss trembled and told me about the incident, and what he said was not much different from what I already knew. The boss said that after the incident, the police came many times, but in the past two days, the police have not come much, but I didn't expect that today, Chaoyang Ji just opened, and the first group of customers who came was the police.

As if to drive us away as soon as possible, the boss also called another guy. The guy was the one who delivered food to the apartment for the first and second time, and the boss went for the third time. The man's confession was exactly the same as what the boss said. The Hong Kong dollar will never become a dark currency for no reason, someone must be secretly playing tricks.

The most suspicious is the boss and buddy in Chaoyang Ji. However, the fear they show is not like a fake, and there is no contradiction in their confessions. After asking around in Chaoyangji, we didn't find any suspicious people. Later, I brought the problem back to the female aunt.

The boss said that after the ghost called the meal case, he would often see dirty things and hear terrible sounds. One day, a female Taoist aunt came to the door by herself and said that she could eliminate the disaster for Chaoyangji. The boss had the mentality of giving it a try, and asked the female Taoist aunt to do a magic service. That night, the boss really had a good night's sleep.

For several days in a row, the female Daoist aunt was doing Dharma in the Chaoyang Ji, and finally, last night, the female Daoist aunt left.

Without asking for any more valuable clues, we withdrew from Chaoyangji.

The first thing we did when we came out was to call the female aunt. I made the call personally, I thought that the female Taoist aunt would not answer, but I didn't expect that the phone was connected immediately. Moreover, the female Taoist aunt also heard my voice, and she asked me with a smile if something strange had happened. I followed the female aunt's meaning and said that I had seen something unclean.

The female Taoist aunt offered me a price, saying that she would solve the disaster for me, and the price was sky-high.

I pretended to agree and asked her when we would meet, and the female Taoist aunt showed me a place. I thought she would meet me in some deep mountain forest, at least a Taoist temple, but she told me about the biggest disco in the New Territories, and the time was one o'clock in the morning. After hanging up the phone, I told Luo Feng and Chen Fan about it.

Luo Feng's expression was a little strange, he bumped my shoulder, and joked: "A Dao aunt chick asked you to meet in that kind of place so late, and this Dao aunt is also fishy?" ”

Luo Feng's joke did not make me feel relaxed, but I felt a little uneasy in my heart.

We walked around the New Territories, this area, Luo Feng is full of acquaintances, passing through many places, there are people who say hello to Luo Feng, and their name for Luo Feng is: Brother Luo.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, it was completely dark, and we went outside the apartment area where Lao Jiu and the four people were killed, as originally planned. In this apartment area, every house is already old, as if it will collapse at any time. I don't know how Lao Jiu and a few people would choose to live in such a place, they are not short of money at all.

It has been several days since the incident, and it is impossible for the police to let people guard the scene of the crime so late. But we are still very careful, in case someone else finds out, we may be considered a suspect by the police. The old-fashioned apartment, inhabited by migrant workers, is so late, there are few people.

However, the closer we got to the apartment where Lao Jiu and the others lived, the louder we found it. It wasn't until I really got closer that I was surprised to find that the scene here was very similar to last night at the back door of Chaoyangji, and it was also a large number of people surrounding a wooden platform. They are doing Dharma here, and the person who is doing Dharma is the Taoist aunt I asked to meet tonight.

They blocked the entrance to the building, and we had to hide for the time being. It wasn't until after eleven o'clock in the evening that the crowd gradually dispersed, and the Taoist aunt, also carrying a cloth bag, left in a hurry. I didn't stop her, so as not to startle the snake. After that, we sneaked into the hallway, which was very dark and we didn't meet anyone along the way.

Chen Fan said that this place is so dark, there is no one. Luo Feng slapped Chen Fan directly on the back of the head: "You stupid, this place is haunted, everyone must have moved out temporarily." ”

What Luo Feng said made sense, Chen Fan didn't dare to choke with Luo Feng, so he had to endure it. The crime took place on the top floor of the apartment: the seventh floor. At the corridor on the seventh floor, the police set up a cordon. We crossed the cordon, and when we reached the seventh floor, we quickly found the one where the accident had occurred. The lock on the door was broken, it was broken when the police broke in.

We all put on our boots and gloves, and when we entered the house, we didn't know if it was psychological, but all three of us said that it was a much colder place than other places.

When we turned on the flashlight, we saw the bloody handprints on the wall at a glance. The handprints, densely packed, covered the entire wall of the apartment, making people's scalp tingle for a while.

As soon as Luo Feng saw the bloody handprints, he scolded: ", isn't the corpse bleeding, really bloody handprints?" ”
