The carrion fell into my arms, and the smell of corpse oil filled my body.

Did the body die of natural causes, or was someone deliberately murdered?

I really can't understand why Lin Bayi's house hides a woman's corpse that has decomposed to such an extent.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew and extinguished the candle in my hand, plunging the surroundings into darkness.

If I'm not mistaken, I closed the door when I entered the room, so the whole room should be a confined space.

Without the convection of the air, where did this yin wind blow from? ”

Before I could react, a chill swept over my body, and I felt as if something was on my shoulder.

It's just me and the carrion in front of me in this red room, could it be "it"?

I didn't dare to think any further, and to be honest, now I'm starting to regret a little bit of the pursuit of this place alone.

The thing on my shoulder slowly squirmed like a water snake, and with a greasy touch, it gradually spread to my face.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

A shrill sound exploded in my ears, shattering the last remaining line of defense in my heart.

The carrion in my arms seemed to come back to life, wrapping me in the oil it overflowed.

I only felt that my body was getting heavier and heavier, and I began to fall downward, and with it, my consciousness gradually moved away from my body.

The next second, I saw that I had turned into a carrion, wrapped in that cloak and standing in the dark red room, unable to move at all. And the original rotting corpse gradually transformed into my appearance, got up from the ground, and gradually walked out of the house.

Before going out, "I" suddenly turned around and said with an evil face

"Goofy, actually, we're all the same!"

。。。。。。。

"Ahh With a burst of exclamation, I suddenly sat up, and my whole body was already soaked in cold sweat.

"Are you having nightmares?" An old voice came from the side, and in the candlelight, the outline of Lin Bayi's face could barely be seen.

What's going on! How did I end up on the couch in the hall, what exactly happened just now?

"Young man, it seems that you are really tired these days, I just went to get a cup of tea, and you actually fell asleep on the sofa." Lin Bayi looked at me with a gloomy face, and then handed the teacup to me, motioning for me to take a sip of tea to suppress my shock.

Dream? If it's a dream, it's too real.

I hurriedly picked up my clothes and sniffed vigorously for a while, and found that I could no longer smell the same corpse smell as before, and the corpse oil that had been stained on my clothes had disappeared without a trace.

Turning his head, he looked at the back of the hall.

However, instead of the previous painting with a family portrait, there was a portrait of Christ Jesus hanging on the large wall.

Everywhere, all the details are different from the previous scene. Could it be that I was really so tired that I fell asleep, and what happened before was all a dream?

Xiaoxue's mother believed in Jesus, so she put such a portrait at home. After she died, I didn't bother to change it, so I stayed there and had a thought. After Lin Bayi finished speaking, he picked up the teacup, put it under his mouth and took a sip, revealing a slightly sad look in his eyes.

"Senpai, how long have I slept here?"

Lin Bayi thought for a while, and slowly spoke: "In less than twenty minutes, if you are really tired, you can go to Xiaoxue's room to rest for a while, anyway, it's not early, and it's the same if we talk about it tomorrow." ”

"No, let's end it today." Thinking about it, I have to give an explanation to the fat old man and Liu Hao the day after tomorrow, and now I can't waste a moment, and before the matter is over, I can't make time to rest.

"Okay, what do you want to ask?"

"I'd like to ask the seniors, what do you think of what happened at the engagement banquet? If it were you, what method would you use to solve the case? I followed Lin Bayi's example, picked up the tea in front of me, put it to my lips and took a sip.

The fragrance and sweetness of tartary buckwheat tea gradually spread from the tip of the tongue, and then filled the entire mouth, dispelling the previous difficulties.

To my surprise, Lin Bayi seemed to have expected me to ask like this, and immediately filled my teacup with tea unhurriedly.

"According to the old man's humble opinion, the process of solving a criminal investigation case is nothing more than starting from the three key points in turn. First, the motive for committing the crime, second, the time of the crime, and third, the tools of the crime.

The first is the motive for the crime, the other party wants to kill Xiaoxue and Song Shuai in the engagement banquet, and must have his own intentions. Figuring out the motive for the crime can help you quickly narrow down the scope of the investigation, and even directly identify the suspect.

Secondly, the time of the crime. Think carefully about who might have the opportunity to make a move during the engagement banquet, including killing Xiaoxue, Song Shuai, and the pianist. I guess you have your own speculation on this.

In the end, it is the tool of the crime, and if you find the tool of the crime, you can not only figure out what means the murderer used to kill them, but also use the crop evidence to convict them. I believe that the forensic doctor has already given you the autopsy report, and I should not need to teach you the tools to commit the crime at the scene through the autopsy report. ”

After Lin Bayi finished saying this in one breath, he continued to take a sip of tea calmly. I jotted down what he said and the expression on his face when he spoke, and when he finished the tartary buckwheat tea in his cup, I continued to ask questions.

"So what do seniors think this murderer might be?"

"I thought? Why ask for my opinion. ”

"This is important, please!"

In the face of my questioning, Lin Bayi continued to behave in a pampered manner: "I have also roughly heard the details of the case from Xiao Feng, if he can kill the pianist who has lost his ability to resist without anyone noticing, then the murderer must still be mixed in the crowd that entered the hall with the medical staff." ”

In a word, far away in the sky, close in front of you. Perhaps, the real culprit is someone you are familiar with. ”

"To be honest, I've roughly guessed who the real culprit is."

"Oh?" Lin Bayi pretended to be surprised and glanced at me, and his old face still hadn't changed much.

In a sense, this guy is even more difficult to deal with than Lao Yan, at least what he said before can almost be regarded as useless nonsense, and it doesn't have much effect on the detection of the case.

"Now that we all know who it is, why don't you let Officer Liu arrest him directly?"

"Because, without evidence, I can't move him."

"No evidence?" Lin Bayi glanced at me in surprise, still expressionless: "How can there be no evidence?" There is no such thing as a perfect crime in this world, and as long as it is done, there should be more or less evidence left. ”

After he finished saying this, I immediately put down the teacup, stared at Lin Bayi's eyes, and said word by word: "So, the seniors think that where is the evidence that can send that murderous demon to prison?" ”

"Hahaha! Detective Gao can't help but look up to the old man too much, how can I know these things? ”

"You don't have to know, just guess! Didn't I say it before, but this conversation should be just a small talk between us, and discussing the facts of the case with my old comrades will help me to draw important conclusions as soon as possible. ”

"Small talk!" Lin Bayi said this meaningfully, and his eyes suddenly became confused: "According to my guess, that important evidence may be hidden in the murderer's house, may have stayed at the scene of the crime, or it is possible that the real murderer has already blamed others for the evidence of the crime!" Haha, who knows? ”

"I see, teachable!" I drank the last bit of tea from my teacup and got up to leave.

"Are you ready to leave so soon?"

"Yes, I already have my own answer."

The purpose of this visit has been achieved, and besides, Lin Bayi can't give me more help.

For the rest of the day, I just had to refocus on the woman wearing the mask and the surveillance footage.
