Chapter 155: Commonalities

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Captain He drove his car with Ren Yi and faxes, and staggered towards the crowded old neighborhood.

"This is it." Captain He stopped his car in front of a shack made of color steel tiles and took out the key.

This is the residence of the first victim, the woman with the pink wig, according to Captain He, her name is Zheng Lisha.

With a few screeching rust sounds, the closed door was opened, and a pungent smell of blood rushed towards him inside.

"She was right here at the entrance." Captain He pointed to the ground, and as the light in the room suddenly brightened, a pool of dried blood appeared in front of the three of them.

"Let's split up and find out everything you think is problematic, and I'm sure the clues are there."

"What do you mean by 'problematic'?" Fax puzzled.

"It's just that she doesn't belong to her, or that doesn't fit in with her surroundings, and it's weird to be in this scene." Ren Yi pinched his forehead, "For example, she doesn't cook at all, but an extremely delicate and professional kitchen knife appears at home." ”

"Oh," Facsimile said, "I see." ”

Fax and Captain He went to the bedroom and bathroom respectively, and the footsteps gradually blurred.

Ren Yi sighed, looking at the clothes that were almost piled up on the entire sofa, and his eyes were almost dark.

What is weird...... Uneaten takeout boxes, lighters, and a stack of colorful little advertisements...... Ren Yi fell into deep thought.

"Isn't that weird?" Fax emerges from the bedroom, holding a pair of pink fake handcuffs.

“…… Not counted. Ren Yi said silently.

It was simple, but half of the morning had passed, and little had been gained.

Ren Yi sighed, looking at the things that everyone had collected, razors, old wallets, almost everything, but he really couldn't see any clue.

"Why don't we go to the next crime scene?" Captain He wiped the sweat on his head and said, "After all, these things may not be suspicious when you look at one family, but if they appear at the scene of the crime frequently, then there is definitely a problem." ”

"Makes sense." Ren Yi nodded, and stepped out of the door with fax one after the other.

Bell - bell -

At that moment, a heavy, long metal crash echoed through the rental house.

"What is this?" Ren Yi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the corner where the voice came from.

"It's the sound of an old-fashioned mechanical clock, which you may not have seen in a young person of your age, but we all had it at home when we were young." Captain He explained.

Indeed, a dusty mechanical clock sat on a small table against the wall, and the hands under the glass were no longer clear, and the pendulum was turning in a bell.

Ren Yi's eyes kept staring at that corner and didn't move away for a long time.

Captain He walked over, looked the clock up and down, left and right, and said, "This thing was probably left by the landlord." Isn't that weird? ”

"No," Ren Yi shook his head, "I'm not looking at this clock, but—"

Ren Yi raised his hand and pointed.

Captain He's eyes moved down, and when he saw the thing Ren Yi was pointing at, he was suddenly taken aback: "You mean, this?" You can't talk nonsense! ”

With that, Captain He nervously glanced at the fax outside the door.

It turned out that there was another thing on the small table with the mechanical clock -

It was a small gilded incense burner, densely filled with pink burnt incense sticks.

There was a small gilded Buddha statue in the middle, and two plates of citrus were offered next to it, and the skin was still very fresh, which should have been offered before her accident.

There are also two electronic candles on either side of the Buddha statue, which are not energized and glow a plastic inferior red in the sunlight.

This is not a small table for the landlord's miscellaneous items at all, but an incense table!

"I glanced at it before and didn't pay attention. Buddha statues are indeed a ubiquitous thing, and many people have offerings in their homes. ”

Ren Yi stared at the Buddha statue tightly and said in a low voice.

"But for someone of her age, this income, and this profession, isn't it strange to have a Buddha statue at home?"

"I can't afford to eat, and I'm still insisting on serving. Isn't that a strange thing in itself? ”

"You can't say that," Captain He bowed in front of the Buddha statue a little timidly, "Zheng Lisha should be asking for money." ”

"After all, her life has been so bad, it's easy to pin her hopes on ethereal things."

Ren Yi stared at the golden Buddha and frowned silently.

He remembered a series of experiences since coming to the Southwest.

The "Swollen Saintess" is the prototype of a sect that has just been in the midst of expansion; The relics of the ancients' worship of "in the cage" have become a kind of civilization relics; The "snake father" who has long been entrenched in the mountains has become a folk belief to enjoy sacrifices......

Since they are all descenders hidden in human civilization, the ...... Will the Buddha be the same......

Ren Yi immediately shook his head violently.

How can it be!

It is true that there are Adventists in the long river of history, but human civilization cannot all be false!

Although he kept retorting to himself in his mind, he still felt a cold sweat on his back.

"Goddess, is there any breath of the Adventist?"

Ren Yi pondered in his heart several times, clenched his hands hard, and said hard.

"Nope." The voice of the goddess came to his ears, and he replied crisply.

That's great...... Ren Yi breathed a long sigh of relief, almost trembling all over.

"Why don't you leave?" Fax had already gotten into the car, lowered the window and asked.

"Coming soon!" Ren Yi cheered up and stepped out of the door with Captain He.

Captain Ho started the car, and the three of them rushed to the next victim's home.

"The victim in this household is the single mother." Captain Ho parked his car in front of a dilapidated apartment building and rummaged through a long set of keys.

Ren Yi and the three of them walked into the living room where no one had been in or out for several days, everything stayed as it was on the night of the crime, the clothes on the sofa and the children's homework had not been cleaned up, the ingredients in the kitchen had been rancid, and the blood stains had dried up on the ground, which was a little terrifying.

Ren Yi immediately looked around the living room, and there were no worship supplies.

"It's still the old rule, split up to find suspicious items." Ren Yi explained and took the lead in the location of the study.

It was empty, with nothing but a row of old books and tutorial materials on a row of shelves.

"The house is very clean," the three of them came to the living room to meet after ten minutes, and faxed, "It is true that they have been divorced for many years, and there is not even a single men's thing." ”

"Nothing, really." Captain He glanced at Ren Yi.

What he meant was that nothing related to Buddha statues had been found. Ren Yi frowned secretly, could it be that he really guessed wrong this time?

"Do you want to go to the next one?" Captain He said.

Wait a minute......

A thought flashed through Ren Yi's mind.

"Do you still have the photo?" Ren Yi said suddenly, "Show me the photo again!" ”

"Oooh." Captain He was also inexplicably nervous, returned to the coffee table in the living room, and poured the document bag in his backpack onto the table.

Ren Yi immediately rummaged through the messy photos one by one.

"What are you looking for?" Fax puzzled.

"This is it!" Ren Yi suddenly raised the photo in his hand and exclaimed at the light.

"What's weird about that?" The fax went up.

This is a single mother on a blind date, she is lying in a pool of blood, her right hand is naturally turned over, and she has a string of wooden Buddha beads on her wrist!

"She has Buddha beads in her hands, and Lisa has a Buddha statue in her home!" Ren Yidao.

"I guessed right."

"That's what they have in common!"
