Early the next morning, before Duan Ming woke up, he heard a rapid knock on the door.

Duan Ming opened the door and saw that it was Xu Shizhong standing outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Duan Ming stretched his waist and asked in a deep voice.

"Mingli is dead." Xu Shizhong gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Dead?" Duan Ming raised his eyebrows: "We just finished talking to Mingli yesterday, and we died today?" Let's go and see. By the way, what about the old criminal? ”

"It's already gone." Xu Shizhong said: "The commander was worried that others would make trouble, so he rushed there first. ”

"Hmm." Duan Ming nodded.

Soon, Duan Ming and Xu Shizhong had already arrived in the West Courtyard, and many monks gathered around a side room, while the people from the Ming Spiegel Division and the people from the Immortal Sect were on both sides of the door of the wing room.

It's menacing and looks very weird.

Duan Ming walked through the crowd and walked straight into the wing.

The room was very clean, but there was a faint foul smell.

On the right hand side of the door is a row of wooden cabinets, which are filled with monks' clothes, and on the left hand side is a large kang, which is very spacious and can sleep about six people.

And at this moment, there were two people standing next to the fire kang, who were Xing Qianqiu and the master of the Forgotten Machine Palace.

Neither of them spoke, but just stood there quietly, like two statues.

"Mr. Duan, you're here." Hearing someone walk in, Xing Qianqiu looked back and said.

"Hmm." Duan Ming nodded, and as Xing Qianqiu turned around, he saw Mingli's corpse.

At this moment, Mingli's corpse was lying in the center of the fire, facing the sky on his back.

"Immeasurable immortality." The Lord of the Forgotten Machine Hall also turned to look at Duan Ming, his face was kind, which made people feel very cordial: "Mr. Duan, let's meet again." ”

"Morning, Master of the Forgotten Palace." Duan Ming smiled and nodded to the Hall Master, and then walked to the side of the kang.

"Red Lotus again?" Walking to Mingli's corpse, Duan Ming's brows furrowed slightly.

I saw that Mingli's chest clothes had been opened at this moment, and there was a crimson lotus pattern on his chest.

"Immeasurable immortality, how many obscure and dirty things are hidden in this temple? It made Our Lady of the Red Lotus so angry and angry. The Lord of the Hall of Forgetting sighed: "When the holy decree returns, the deity should investigate this pure place of Buddhism." ”

"The Lord of the Forgotten Machine Hall said it too early, and this is pushed to the Red Lotus Holy Mother?" Xing Qianqiu sneered: "Is the Red Lotus Holy Mother so boring? Staring at a few little monks killing around? ”

"Immeasurable immortality, the mind of the Virgin, how can you and other mortals comprehend it?" The Lord of the Hall of Forgetting Machines smiled and shook his head: "Commander of the Punishment, you still need to be careful when you speak, if you accidentally annoy the Holy Mother of the Red Lotus, beware of the disaster of karma." ”

"Karma? Come over there! The country has national laws, and the family has family rules, not to mention whether there is a Red Lotus Virgin or not, even if there is, I will arrest her if she kills someone! Xing Qianqiu said coldly.

"You two better stop bickering here." Duan Ming said suddenly, then sat down on the kang and said with a smile: "Where is this Red Lotus Holy Mother killing people, it is clear that someone is doing evil things in the name of Red Lotus Holy Mother. ”

"Why did Mr. Duan say that?" The eyes of the Lord of the Hall of Forgetfulness narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "The deity would like to hear the details." ”

Duan Ming reached out and gently touched Mingli's face, then reached out to open his eyelids and lips, and said in a deep voice: "The face is swollen, there are dotted bleeding spots under the eyes, and there are rose-colored manifestations on the surface of the teeth, which is a manifestation of mechanical suffocation. ”

"Mechanical asphyxiation?" Xing Qianqiu frowned.

"That's right, it's simply suffocation." Duan Ming said.

"Suffocation?" Xing Qianqiu frowned: "But I just checked, and I didn't see any strangulation marks under my neck." ”

"Who says mechanical asphyxiation is necessarily strangulation?" Duan Ming shook his head: "Strangulation, strangulation, drowning, and many other ways can lead to mechanical suffocation. ”

"And how did he die?" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice.

"Then I have to take it back for an autopsy, but one thing is certain, that is, Mingli was definitely not killed by the Red Lotus Karma Fire Niangniang." Duan Ming said in a deep voice: "After all, the Red Lotus Industry Fire Niangniang is not the Red Lotus Suffocating Niangniang......

"In that case." Xing Qianqiu looked at the master of the Forgotten Hall on the side: "I don't bother with the noble sect here." ”

"Immeasurable immortality, Lord Duan's eyes are like torches, and he really knows it." The Hall Master of the Forgotten Machine said with a smile.

Then the master of the Forgotten Machine Hall did not drag the mud and water, and turned around and left directly.

Xing Qianqiu nodded slightly to Duan Ming, and then went out to arrange for Xu Shizhong to take someone to bring Mingli's body back.

At this moment, Xing Qianqiu couldn't care about whether it would affect Fanxing Temple in the future, so he directly asked people to arrange the morgue next to his room and send someone to guard it strictly.

And at this moment, Duan Ming suddenly frowned, and he saw a person wearing the clothes of the Spiegel Division in the corner of the courtyard not far away.

After thinking for a moment, Duan Ming quickly rushed towards the corner.

By the time Duan Ming arrived at that location, the figure was gone.

"What's wrong?" Xing Qianqiu rushed over and looked at Duan Ming suspiciously.

"It's okay, maybe it's bad." Duan Ming shook his head and frowned.

Soon, when the morgue was ready, Duan Ming and Xing Qianqiu came to the morgue together, and Duan Ming took advantage of the sunlight to carefully inspect it.

"Sure enough." After a careful examination, Duan Ming raised his head and said to Xing Qianqiu: "In addition to the swelling of the face, rose teeth, and bleeding spots under the eyes, there is urine and urine flowing out of the crotch, the nails are also cyanotic, and there are dark purple corpse spots on the back. All of these can confirm that Mingli died of suffocation. ”

"However, I just asked a few monks who lived with Mingli, and they didn't hear anything in the middle of the night." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "How did the murderer do it? Can you kill him in front of a few other people without alarming anyone? ”

"Use the elimination method." Duan Ming pondered: "There are no strangulation marks or finger marks on the neck of the corpse, which shows that Mingli was not strangled to death, nor was he strangled to death. ”

"The corpse died on the kang, and according to the condition of the corpse, it was not moved after death, so Mingli was definitely not drowned."

"There are only a few ways to die from mechanical asphyxia, mainly targeting the three areas of the chest, neck, mouth and nose. Since strangulation and strangulation are excluded, it is not in the neck. ”

"If you want to kill someone by suppressing the movement of the chest, then it will inevitably cause damage to the chest cage and form a compression injury."

"The pattern of the red lotus may be to direct our attention to the fire lady of the red lotus industry; Second, it may be to cover up the traces of compression injuries. Duan Ming pondered slightly, stretched out his hand and gently pressed on the chest of Mingli's corpse: "But it's not right, if it is to control the chest and let people die, it should not only cause compression injuries, but also cause fractures of the sternum and ribs, but there is no such situation on Mingli's corpse." ”

"If you want to kill people in this way without hurting your ribs, it's very difficult......
