Chapter 12: Reasoning and Calculation
It was getting late, Shen Ruoling turned on the lights in the corridor, and saw her holding a few photos in one hand and a big shopping bag in the other, which contained a few boxes of lunches. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Alan immersed himself in chatting with the girl, while Yixiao and Jingchen practiced in the hallway. When the three of them saw the takeaway, they remembered that they hadn't even eaten lunch, and they were all hungry and their stomachs were rumbling.
"Thank you, Sister Shen!" Alan and Yixiao took the takeaway and began to feast.
"Jingchen, this is the sushi rice ball I ordered for you, rest assured that there is absolutely no meat. ”
“...... Thank you, Lord Shen. I didn't expect that when we met for the first time, Shen Ruoling could think about fasting for herself, and Jingchen couldn't help but be a little moved. "By the way, the little monk is curious, what exactly is something that girls come once a month?"
Hearing this, Alan and Yixiao snickered to themselves, almost choking the rice grains into their trachea.
"Uh......" Shen Ruoling was quick to think and answered fluently, but he didn't know how to answer Jingchen's question. "Girls ...... every month Bloodshed once, that's what they say. ”
"Oh......" Jingchen listened to it and nodded blankly. "Then what do you mean when you said that the girl's bloodshed is related to this case?"
"Look at this. Shen Ruoling spread the five photos in his hand on the ground, and with the help of the light, he could see that there were close-up photos of the heads of the five charred corpses. "I went and checked all seven bodies, and five of them had special marks on their heads, look here. ”
Shen Ruoling pointed to the center of the eyebrows on the head of the scorched corpse, and sure enough, in these five photos, there are patterns composed of light white prints, which are lizards, bats, spiders, snakes, and toads.
"With such an obvious pattern, are the police officers who came to investigate before blind people?"
"Do you know the three principles of the Aicheng police? All three points of this case are accounted for, and they will pretend to be blind when they see it. "It's not just Allen, even Shen Ruoling doesn't have a good impression of the police.
"Sister, what do these patterns mean?" asked with a smile.
"These patterns are all depicted with poison, and they don't look at it much. However, before I entered the dormitory, I saw in the courtyard that some of the rooms in the girls' dormitory were lit and some were not. It suddenly occurred to me that these pictures are not viewed like this, but in three dimensions. ”
"What's the ...... Three-dimensional look?" smiled and picked up one of the photos vertically, but still didn't see any clues.
"Why are there only five of the seven corpses with patterns? If you look at the windows of the dormitory from the outside and turn off all the lights, leaving only the lights in the dormitory rooms of the five girls who had the accident, you will find that the five lights are distributed in the shape of a five-pointed star. ”
"So what?" Shen Ruoling's reasoning was extremely attractive, and the three of them listened carefully while eating.
"Have you ever heard of the witches of the Clemina school? they are legendary witches who are good at casting curses with sacrifices, and their sacrificial circle is in the shape of a five-pointed star. If you connect the pattern of the deceased's head with their corresponding position in the array, it is a snake directly above, and then a toad, a lizard, a bat, and a spider clockwise. I'm not sure, but I can probably guess that the sour smell I smelled at the time was the smell of these poisons stewed together. ”
"Oh~~~" Alan just took a bite and almost threw it up.
"Alan, the blood you mentioned should be used to release the curse. The witch will use the blood of the cursed person as a channel, and then cast a spell on the straw man, and the victim will take the same damage. That's why the fire that burned in the dead man could not be extinguished, because it was not lit on her, but on a straw man in another place. ”
"......" The three of them were speechless for a while, and Shen Ruoling's reasoning was meticulous, as if she was the murderer who planned the murder.
"Sister Shen, who is the murderer?"
"I called the principal and found that the person in charge of cleaning the girls' dormitory was a woman in her 40s who usually lived in the basement of the dormitory. Shen Ruoling raised her eyebrows, and when she talked about the location, her voice deliberately raised by dozens of decibels, and she didn't know what her intentions were. "She's the only one who could get the bloodied ...... Paper. So, we'll visit her [home] in a moment. ”
"What are you waiting for? I'm tickling my fists, and I'm desperate to find someone to beat me up. ”
"Alan, don't worry, finish the meal first. Shen Ruoling seemed to be very relaxed.
"Sister Shen...... What else are you eating?!The identity of the murderer is clear, we just K.O her, I don't care, but Jingchen won't spend the night in this dormitory. ”
"I know, I know your thoughts. Shen Ruoling put her index finger on her lips, made a "shhh" gesture, and blinked her left eye, indicating that she had a plan. "Don't worry, the murderer can't run away, we have enough to eat before we have the strength to win. Smiled and handed me a box. ”
Everyone ate and chatted in the corridor, and it took more than half an hour to end this "sumptuous dinner".
"Phew, now we can go, I'm going to doze off later. ”
Shen Ruoling looked down at her watch, with a strange smile on her face. "Alright, let's go. Bring all your weapons, we haven't been to the house. ”
Shen Ruoling took the three of them out of the dormitory building, at this time the night was thick, she looked around and found that the courtyard was empty, only the sultry evening breeze blowing.
Everyone walked through the canteen area and entered the South Courtyard, and the staff dormitory that Shen Ruoling said was in a remote corner of the South Courtyard. In fact, in addition to the principal and a few senior managers, the rest of the school's staff have long been on vacation indefinitely. Even if they don't have a house of their own, they would rather go out and rent a house to live in it than live here in fear.
Except for the woman who did the hygiene.
Shen Ruoling was familiar with the road, as if he had been here before, and led everyone to the entrance of the basement, at the corner of the stairs on the first floor, there was a not-so-conspicuous iron door, the keyhole had been rusted and could not be locked, and it was opened with a light push.
Behind the iron gate, there was a staircase that went down, and there was no light, and everyone walked cautiously step by step.
"The staff dormitory is an old building, and it was originally a boiler room underneath, but after it was abandoned, it was slightly whitewashed, and the beds were filled and converted into rooms. No one wants to live here, except this lady. ”
Smile followed with his flashlight, and since the last time he had seen himself in the cellar with that crappy phone lamp, he put a wall-rich flashlight in his backpack.
After dozens of stairs, everyone finally reached the bottom, and in front of them was a seemingly very heavy iron door, which was already some years old, and it was covered with reddish-brown rust. Shen Ruoling walked up and grabbed the doorknob.
"Little heroes, whatever you see, remember not to scream. Shen Ruoling turned around and admonished, then pulled back suddenly, and the iron door was easily opened.
The moment the door opened, blood flowed down the door to everyone's feet.
