Seeing the cold light flickering at the tip of the iron spear that Tie Lingshuang was carrying, Qi Chen's back was in cold sweat, and he strode over, shouting at his uncle who had a sip of wine and a rosy face,

"Uncle, this is a messenger from the capital, who has come to investigate the murder case in Hangzhou City, and he must not be rude. ”

As he spoke, he squeezed his eyebrows at his stupid uncle with Tie Lingshuang behind his back, and his palms were still in a beheading posture on his chest.

His uncle seemed to understand, nodded, got another glass of wine, raised his head and killed it, stood up, grinned, raised his hand to push his nephew aside, and looked carefully from top to bottom, and asked Tie Lingshuang,

"Jin Yiwei?"

Rolling his eyes, Qi Chen didn't wait for Tie Lingshuang to make a move, he carried his uncle who was stunned, nodded at Tie Lingshuang, who was as cold as ice, and flashed out of the room.

Tie Lingshuang looked down at the tip of the iron spear, as if admonishing, shook his head at himself, let out a long breath, dissipated the chill, and turned to follow.

The three of them came to the door of the house on the west side, Qi Chen put down his uncle, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and a cold and cold air came to his face, dissipating the heat, mixed with a strong corpse smell, Tie Lingshuang's eyebrows raised lightly, as if he smelled a fragrance that seemed to be there, and he couldn't help but be slightly strange.

Feeling out the fire fold from his waist, lighting the oil lamp hanging on the wall, Qi Chen raised his hand and handed the oil lamp to Tie Lingshuang, walked to the middle of the room, lit a miserable white candle, and lit two fires, only to see that the room was covered with white cloth, and there were ten corpses lying in a row.

It was already midnight, and the sound of crickets chirping came one after another, and looking at this row of corpses, the room seemed to be colder again.

Stretched out his hand and lifted the white cloth covering his body near the door, a corpse smell came from the surface, he seemed to feel nothing, his eyebrows didn't move a bit, Tie Lingshuang approached the oil lamp, it was an obese middle-aged man, his body was blue and white, a slap-sized bruise mark on his chest, his lips were purple and black, his eye sockets were deep, and his face was full of corpse spots, and he should have been dead for a while.

Inhaling slightly, the fragrance in the corpse smell loomed, as if it was stronger, and there was no trace of it, Tie Lingshuang temporarily suppressed his doubts, and reached out on the man's neck, chest, and limbs lightly or heavily, frowning slightly.

Went around the man's forehead, leaned the oil lamp closer to his hair, and only saw a big hole in the corpse's Baihui acupoint, the size of a fist, as if it was chiseled by a sharp blade, and the technique was quite neat, and then by candlelight, I saw that the man's head was empty, except for the dried blood stains and the two big black and purple eyes hanging there, there was nothing else.

"I opened the skull. ”

That Qi Chen's uncle seemed to be a fool, standing behind Tie Lingshuang, watching her look indifferently at the hideous corpse, he couldn't help but praise secretly, seeing Tie Lingshuang straighten up and turn his head to look at himself, he continued,

"When this man arrived, he couldn't find a fatal wound all over his body, and his chest seemed to be a heavy blow, but it was not fatal, and I saw that his eye sockets were sunken, and I felt that there was blood between his hair, and I guessed that the contents of his head might have received a heavy blow and shattered into a puddle, and I scraped the hair along the blood stains, and only found a hole the size of a mung bean. ”

Seeing that Tie Lingshuang seemed to be nodding and praising herself, she couldn't help but grin,

"I originally wanted to open it from the eye socket to see, but I was afraid of the impact of the face of the bitter lord, so I chiseled the heavenly spirit along the hole, alas, I didn't expect it to be empty inside. ”

As he spoke, he walked to the side, reached out and lifted the white cloth, pointed to a rather plump female corpse, and said the same.

Tie Lingshuang followed him and walked to the female corpse, Qi Chen came over and said,

"This is a husband and wife, in Hangzhou City cloth business, the family is very good, on the morning of June 15, the little maid saw that the shop was not open, went to the bitter master's house, only to find that he had died, my uncle according to the time calculation, probably died when the day was ugly, these files are recorded. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Tie Lingshuang, pointed to the white cloth bag beside him, which was obviously much smaller, and said,

"This one is even stranger, you can see for yourself. ”

Seeing that he looked like he was waiting for himself to make a fool of himself, Tie Lingshuang pulled the corners of his mouth and reached out to uncover the white cloth. Although he was prepared, he was still shocked, and his phoenix eyes widened slightly.

In his early four feet, a skeleton-like corpse, thin and thin, white and cold, without a trace of blood, the skin was tightly attached to the bones, the chest was slightly sunken, thinking that the bones were broken, the teeth were protruding, the nostrils were sunken, and the eye sockets were black and hollow.

Startled as he expected, Qi Chen couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said lightly,

"This is the son of the couple, twelve years old, and the people around him say that he is white and fat, and now here, it is already very good to have ten pounds. ”

Ignoring Qi Chen, who sighed at the same time, Tie Lingshuang reached out and pressed lightly on the skeleton-like corpse, looking at the height and teeth, the age should be correct. Walked to the forehead and looked down, this time there was no big hole, on the Baihui acupoint, there was only a small hole the size of a mung bean, round and smooth. Stretched out his finger and touched it, then withdrew his finger, put it to his nose and sniffed gently, sure enough, the fragrance was stronger.

The brows furrowed slightly, the two adults had lost their brains, the child became a dry corpse, and the flesh and blood were gone, Qi Chen's uncle came over and took out two palm-sized bone fragments, which seemed to be the bones on the heads of the couple, and said,

"This small hole, ordinary people use a small murder weapon of about the same thickness, and it takes a lot of strength to pierce it. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the husband and wife,

"Both of them had bruises on their arms and legs, as if they were hugging and tangled from behind, and there were marks of a blow to their chests, which felt like they had been hit with a hammer, and they fainted and opened their brains again. But even if there is no violent resistance, such a mellow wound ordinary Jianghu master can't do it, I haven't heard of any masters with such small weapons? Alas, I can't figure it out, it can't be a monster, right?"

"What kind of monster! The murderer must be evil and vicious, so I will set up a suspicious array, and when I catch him, I will have to open a few holes in his skull. ”

was not lightly angered by the uncle who talked nonsense all day long, and smiled awkwardly at Tie Lingshuang. Tie Lingshuang's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't pay attention to the two of them, carrying the oil lamp, looking at it one by one, three people, three people, this family of four, or twin twins, looked around one by one, it was all the same, the adults had no brains, the children became dried corpses, except for the small holes in the head, there were no obvious clues, I couldn't help frowning, and walked back with the oil lamp.

"That's right, wait a minute. ”

Taking out a black cloth from the corner, Qi Chen's uncle wiped it on the arm of the fat man's corpse, and then spread it out in front of Tie Lingshuang, only to see a little white dust on the black cloth, with the help of the light, flickering slightly, and bursts of fragrance came.

"I was wearing black clothes at the time, and it was midnight after the inspection, and I realized that I had this powder on my body under the lamp, and it didn't smell like a flower, and I hadn't smelled it before. The two that came later also have them, and I don't know what they are. ”

Nodding, Tie Lingshuang glanced at him appreciatively,

"Yes, what's your name, and who did you learn from?"

"Haha, I'll be Liu Junyi, follow the skills that have been passed down from generation to generation in Hangzhou City, not bad, there are no clues that I can't find. ”

When Qi Chen's uncle heard the praise, his white face came together happily, his yellow eyebrows trembled, the corners of Tie Lingshuang's mouth curled, and he shook his head slightly.

"My uncle's name is Liu Yishui, and he really learned his craft from the old man. ”

Qi Chen on the side couldn't stand it anymore, opened his mouth to reveal the old bottom, and didn't care about staring at his own uncle fiercely, and asked Tie Lingshuang, who was still carefully watching the fluorescent white powder on the black cloth next to him,

"Do you have any clues about this powder?"

didn't pay attention to Qi Chen, and walked to the fat male corpse, and pressed lightly on his chest. Being embarrassed, Qi Chen's eyebrows furrowed, staring at Tie Lingshuang obliquely, his heart was on fire.

With a casual personality and no door on his mouth, Liu Yishui heard a noise outside, stretched out his hand and pushed out Qi Chen, who was angry with his eyes open, turned around to look at Tie Lingshuang, and asked impatiently,

"The little girl is courageous, look at your outfit and the scar on your face, have you ever been on the battlefield?

"Ding"

The tip of the gun froze, seeing that the cracks of the green brick were spreading, Liu Yishui's head shrank, looking at Tie Lingshuang Qiushui coldly, and looked at himself sideways, as if he was looking for a place to start. Bared his teeth and smiled, quietly retreated to the door, turned and ran towards the east wing, wanting to drink a glass of old wine to suppress his shock.

The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and Tie Lingshuang folded the black cloth in his hand and placed it next to the man's head. Stretched out his hand and pulled on the white cloth, blew out the oil lamp, and walked out.

Holding a pile of files, Qi Chen walked towards the courtyard angrily, and saw Tie Lingshuang coming out with a cold face closing the door of the mortuary with a cold face, carrying an iron gun, as if he was going to the east room to find someone to theorize.

I couldn't help shaking my head and sighing, my maternal uncle, alas, can you be reliable, find a door god on your mouth to look at it, this time I won't see you, how can you provoke this cold tigress, hurriedly rushed up, blocked in front of the door, a nephew desperately protecting his uncle's posture, his hands stretched out, holding a thick stack of files, raised his chin,

"The dossier you wanted. ”

Raising his eyebrows and glancing at Qi Chen, Tie Lingshuang reached out to take the file, held it with one hand, and entered the room sideways, the two were staggered, his waist was slightly tightened, and his shoulders were pushed sideways.

Qi Chen, who was originally relieved, was about to turn around, when he suddenly felt a strong force surging from his side, thick and deep, slamming into his shoulders, his body shook, he staggered back, he was busy with his dantian, guarding his center of gravity, his tiger eyes were wide open, anger erupted from his eyes, and he turned around and entered the door.

Liu Yishui, who had a serious face, was sitting cross-legged at the small table, holding a glass of wine in his hand, taking small sips on his lips, Tie Lingshuang sat opposite him, put the file on his lap, stretched out his hand to open the upper volume, and looked at it intently.

Striding in, his energy spread all over his body, standing four feet behind Tie Lingshuang, tightly holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, staring at Tie Lingshuang's back angrily, and opening his mouth to invite battle.

"Old man, what should I be guilty of attacking Jinyiwei below?"

A faint voice came, and Tie Lingshuang didn't raise his head, and leisurely flipped through the file. Qi Chen's thick eyebrows furrowed, and his momentum weakened.

"I don't know very well, I guess the lightest is to cut off the head, and the waist cut and the car crack are not too excessive. My name is Liu Yishui, my name is Junyi, I am not white-haired, I am a sheep with a white head, I am sick and not old!"

Looking at his uncle, who was thundering, his hand removed from the hilt of the sword, Qi Chen sighed, let it be. Reached out and took out a small wooden plaque with a key from his bosom and threw it on the file in front of Tie Lingshuang.

"The key to your inn. Uncle, I'll go back to sleep, drink less, and I can't save you if I say the wrong thing and get stabbed with a gun. ”

After that, he ignored the two of them, turned around and walked out of the door, looking dejected, and it was estimated that he would not be able to sleep well tonight.
