Chapter 60: A dark room in a dark room
Liu Ling's aimless footsteps suddenly stopped, his drowsy head seemed to have a little light, and he looked sideways at Xu Yun: "Childe, your proposal is so good, I actually forgot about this stubble." ”
The murderer worked hard to create the underground dark room, is it just to carve a jade pendant?
As Xu Yun proposed, go to the dark room again, and maybe you can really discover the secret that no one knows.
Liu Ling and Xu Yun took three steps and made two steps, and walked down the ladder leading to the dark room again.
Xu Yun lit the torches around him, and the entire dark room immediately lit up.
Liu Ling paced back and forth around the dark room, the bamboo bed, table, and iron cabinet remained the same, and there were no suspicious signs at all.
Liu Ling came to the cabinet and reached out to open the lid of the cabinet, but the jade pendant inside did not appear in Liu Ling's sight.
Liu Ling was shocked, and immediately knew that someone had come here.
Could it be the owner of the darkroom?
Avon Pavilion had clearly asked the people sent by the bustard to investigate thoroughly, and did not see the slightest shadow of the murderer. Could it be that they have neglected the hiding place of the murderer?
The window above Tan Xiang's room was also closed after Xu Yun came.
The rest of the rooms that are occupied, if the windows are open, they will surely find out if a stranger comes in.
In the previous group fight between the eight masters and servants who pushed the sky and grabbed the ground, they had attracted all the people in the Avon Pavilion, and Liu Ling did not glance at their other strangers.
Could it be that before Xu Yun came in, someone came in through Tan Xiang's window one step earlier?
Liu Ling and Xu Yun looked at each other for a moment, and began to fall into deep thought again, murderer? The owner of the dark room? Behind the scenes?
……
Xu Yun doesn't know how to analyze the case, but she doesn't want to be idle, knocking on the wall and stomping on the ground for a while, thinking about finding some clues.
Xu Yun's demeanor seemed to remind Liu Ling again, she looked down at the iron cabinet again, gently stroked the surroundings with both hands, and did not find the compartment.
Liu Ling began to shake from side to side a few more times, and suddenly felt that the cabinet seemed to be stuck to the ground, and it didn't move.
How could an empty tin cabinet that did not belong to a behemoth be so heavy. It's a pity that Liu Ling couldn't find any suspicions.
Coupled with physical and mental exhaustion, suddenly, Liu Ling was furious, raised one foot, and kicked the iron cabinet fiercely.
In an instant, there was a loud bang, and the iron cabinet was half a buttocks.
Immediately after, a creaking sound reached the ears.
Liu Ling and Xu Yun looked at the voice at the same time, and near the wall on the left, a doorway slowly appeared.
Liu Ling and Xu Yun were dumbfounded, looking at each other.
Liu Ling's unintentional move actually touched the mechanism hidden under the cabinet, which was indeed an accident.
Liu Ling casually picked up a torch and walked into the doorway, Xu Yun was a little sluggish, and followed closely.
……
Walking through the doorway, the space that appeared inside was no different from the outside.
The surroundings were covered with cobwebs, and the dust floating everywhere made the throats and eyes of the two of them feel dry and itchy.
The two coughed for a while, and Xu Yun took the torch in Liu Ling's hand and raised her arm as high as possible to make the flickering torch shine brighter.
Liu Ling followed the torch illuminated by Xu Yun and walked forward slowly. What she didn't expect was that not far in front of her, there were seven gloomy coffins.
Xu Yun used all his strength to open the coffin lid, and the dust floating in the sky was even thicker.
Liu Ling hurriedly covered her mouth and nose, Xu Yun was not so lucky, and opened her mouth again for a long time.
After a pause, the dust gradually thinned, Xu Yun's coughing stopped, and Liu Ling walked into the nearest middle coffin.
Inside the coffin lay a skeleton, the clothes on the ground rotting.
Liu Ling then checked the other six coffins, all of which were bones, but they were of different ages, five male and two female.
In particular, female bones are never dead for more than three years, and other male bones are no more than 20 years old, and the lowest is 10 years.
The cause of their death was an Achilles' heel, an iron nail was nailed to the Baihui acupoint on the top of the head and the tips of the ears, and cracks of different sizes appeared in the bones around them.
Obviously, the depth of the hole has already affected the entire skull, and the deceased was also fatally killed by a single blow.
Seven skeletons were also lying in coffins, with the same way of dying, which was enough to show the cruelty of the murderer.
It took Liu Ling and Xu Yun a lot of effort to pull out the iron nails on the Baihui acupoint of the seven skeletons.
The seven iron nails were much longer than the ordinary ones, and they were covered with rust, and the two of them couldn't help but shudder all over their bodies, and at the same time let out a long breath.
……
Xu Yun looked at Liu Ling, who was thinking deeply, and asked, "Do you see anything?" ”
Liu Ling raised his eyebrows: "The male skeleton, aged between his twenties and thirties, according to the minimum ten-year age, based on my understanding of Avon Pavilion, this was not a brothel, but a large restaurant.
Later, the restaurant closed down due to poor management, and the government only made a temporary decision nine years ago to buy the property and officially turn it into a brothel, so as to show that these male bones were related to Avon Court.
But the skeletons of these two women, no more than twenty years old, did not die more than three years ago. I have a bold guess, could they be our Avon Court girls? ”
Xu Yun's brows frowned slightly: "Why do you think so?" Maybe the murderer killed someone outside, and it's not impossible to get the body here. ”
"Your guess is good, but my idea is not unfounded. Don't forget, this time in the Avon Pavilion, the deaths of Wang Yu and Tan Xiang have already been seen to be committed by two male murderers......"
Xu Yun interrupted Liu Ling's words: "What do these two bones have to do with those two murderers?" The more you talk about it, the more confused I become. ”
"Why don't you think about it, we have tried so hard to find the murderer, and the people sent by my mother have searched the entire Avon Pavilion, but they have not found any trace of the suspicious person.
If it is said that the murderer has run away a long time ago, I have no argument, but the jade pendant in this dark room suddenly disappeared, indicating that the murderer is still here, not only that, but they are also mixed in among the girls we know better in the Avon Pavilion. ”
"Didn't you say that the murderers were two men, they were supposed to kill the men in the Avon Pavilion in order to impersonate their identities, is it illogical to kill the woman, it seems that the lice on the head are obvious?"
The corners of Liu Ling's mouth furrowed: "Maybe the murderer is on par with the two women who were killed, and with their superb disguise skills, it is difficult for people to see that they are men." ”
Xu Yun shook his head: "Even if that's the case, it means that the murderer is well hidden, isn't it more difficult for us to find out?" ”
Liu Ling chuckled, and his whole expression seemed to be much more relaxed than before: "It's man-made, as long as we determine the goal, there is nothing we can't find." ”
