In 1914, in the third year of the Republic of China, the Nanjing government proposed that the New Year's Day of the lunar calendar be the Spring Festival. Since then, the term Spring Festival has spread. The end of the year is the last day of the lunar year, and this night is called Chinese New Year's Eve.

Some people say that the reason why the New Year is called the New Year is because it is said that in ancient times there was a monster named "Nian", and at the end of each year, it would come out to stir up the people to eat people everywhere. But it is also said that "Nian" is actually a god, and the monster that eats people everywhere is called "Xi", because Nian got rid of the monster for the people, so the night at the end of the year is called Chinese New Year's Eve, the legend has a long history, and I don't know which is right or wrong.

On the night of the end of the year and Chinese New Year's Eve, in addition to reuniting relatives and making dumplings for a reunion dinner, it is also necessary to stay up late without sleeping to observe the New Year. Dumplings Dumplings are Jiaozi, which means that the new year and the old year are handed over to the child.

The old Ling'er of Tianjin Wei in the old days, thirty dumplings can not be eaten by outsiders, because some dumplings are wrapped in copper coins, who eats it means who will get rich in the coming year, if outsiders eat it, it is inevitable that the wealth will flow out. When cooking dumplings, dumplings can't be boiled, and when broken, you can't say unlucky words such as broken and rotten. After the child, it is considered the New Year, and every household sets off firecrackers and wraps vegetarian dumplings in order to be quiet in the coming year.

The next day is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and you have to eat dumplings. It is the so-called dumplings of the first year of junior high school, noodles of the second year of junior high school, and zygotes of the third year of junior high school to go home. In the old days, on the second day of the first lunar month, you had to eat Lao Mian, and in addition to lo mein, there were also four dishes of side dishes, of which there must be two dishes of stir-fried vegetables, a plate of scrambled eggs and a plate of dishes.

Stir-fried dishes should generally ensure that a dish of river seafood and a dish of sweet and sour dishes, such as "stir-fried shrimp", "fried dried shredded pork", "sweet and sour gluten", etc., and more advanced ones are "boiled fish fillet", "cherry meat", "gold and silver silk", "official roasted fish sticks", "boiled crab roe", "braised sea cucumber" and so on.

On the third day of the first lunar month, you have to eat zygote, two dumpling skins up and down, put the filling in the middle, first knead it into a circle, and then pinch a circle of lace, symbolizing the family and the beauty of the consummation. In addition to the third day of the first month, the eighteenth, eighteenth, and twenty-eighth of the first month also eat zygotes, which is called zygotes plus eight, and the more they got, and the ninth, nineteenth, and twenty-ninth of the first month eat zygotes, so that the zygotes plus nine are more and more.

The fourth day of the first month is the egg of the pancake stall, this day is also called "sheep day", this day is also the day to welcome the stove prince back to the people, sheep ancient meaning and auspicious figured out, people usually do not go out on this day, to stay at home to welcome auspiciousness. At night, it is necessary to pick up the God of Wealth on the five roads, which is called the five roads, and the buying and selling shops are ready to open the market on the fifth day of the first month, in order to be auspicious.

The fifth day of the first lunar month, also known as breaking the fifth, is the day of pinching the villain. In the past, superstition believed that people were unlucky in addition to their own reasons, but also because there were villains around them, the fifth day of the first month is the day of the opening of the market, the opening of the market to do trading, the work of the work, this day to chop the meat stuffing dumplings, the chop meat stuffing is called the chop villain, the dumplings are called pinching the villain, because the dumpling skin on the filling is like a human mouth, so it is also called pinching the villain's mouth, and this picture is a whole year around no villain.

In short, throughout the New Year, the atmosphere is joyful and happy, and every household strives to be harmonious and auspicious.

It's just that Han Dada'er has something in his heart, and he was depressed throughout the Spring Festival. He sat at the desk and pondered, there was the "Lu Mo Knife" on the desk, and when he returned home that night, Wang Weihan had already sent someone to wrap the Lu Mo Knife in a gift box and send it to his house.

He has clues in his heart, and he has no intention of paying attention to others, and there are several cases before the end of the year, although some have some clues, but they have no evidence, and some have no clues at all. Han Da'er likes to hunt down murderers and thieves, reason to solve cases, and feel that several cases seem to be secretly connected with each other, but it seems that there are a few pieces missing from the puzzle, and he has never been able to put together a complete pattern.

A few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, the three police found the body of the butcher Zhou Bo in the grass by the frozen Haihe River, and Han Dada'er happened to meet him on the way home to return Wang Weihan. After asking, I learned that the body had been sent to Lao Suna, the epidemic prevention hospital.

The New Year is approaching, Han Daring just bought some food and drink for the New Year, sent them to Lao Su, and went to see Zhou Bo's corpse by the way.

This year was originally a warm winter, the weather was very abnormal, although the cold was not as good as in previous years, the wax moon was coming to an end, the Haihe River was still not completely frozen, only a layer of ice shell, Sensei said to trample, throwing a stone can collapse a large ice sheet.

Zhou Bo's body was found in the grass by the Haihe River, covered with garbage and a broken mat. A basket picker came here to pick up waste, and only then did he stumble upon the corpse.

Zhou Bo was killed by his own ghost knife in the chest, but there was not much blood at the scene, and it was obvious that the body was thrown here after the killing. Looking at the degree of coagulation of a small amount of blood stains at the scene, it should be before dawn, and the body was dumped here.

Han Daring speculated that the murderer originally wanted to sink Zhou Bo's body into the Haihe River, but he didn't think about it, the night before it suddenly cooled down, the cold north wind blew all night, and the ice cap on the Haihe River was frozen solidly, and it was too conspicuous to want to chisel the ice and throw the corpse.

When Han Dada'er heard that Zhou Bo was killed by a ghost head knife in the chest, he was very puzzled. Because Zhou Bo had hidden the ability to assassinate Mei before, he was rescued by Han Daring. At that time, Han Dada'er used an iron short knife to cut off the head of the ghost head knife, and the original tip of the knife was gone, becoming a flat-headed big knife. This ghost-headed knife was originally very heavy, and the shoulders were wide and the back was thick and the blade was thin, once the tip of the knife was broken, the thick blade could no longer be stabbed, and could only be slashed with the blade.

Zhou Bo was killed by a ghost-headed knife through his chest, that is, he needed great strength to pierce Zhou Bo's chest and back with a flat-headed knife. In addition, it is necessary to use a knife horizontally to pierce through the ribs so as not to be blocked by the bones. But when Han Daring saw Zhou Bo's corpse, the big knife on Zhou Bo's chest was pierced vertically, piercing the front chest and back with a flat-headed big knife, and the front and back ribs were stabbed off by a flat-headed knife, which is difficult for ordinary people to do.

After Lao Su Xie examined Zhou Bo's body, he found that Zhou Bo's wrist was fractured, his shoulders collapsed, his collarbone and shoulder joints had been broken, and the depression was the location where the bone was broken, which was obviously caused by a blunt object and other heavy objects, and an external force. And the strangest thing is that the depression is neither above the body nor obliquely in front of it, but directly in front of it.

If a person hits the opponent with a hammer or other blunt object, unless the opponent is lying on the ground, most of the injuries will be from up or diagonally up and down, because when a person is holding a blunt object, he usually swings downward after lifting it to have greater destructive power. If it is pushed horizontally, even if it can hurt the other party, it will not be able to cause damage to broken bones and tendons. But Zhou Bo's corpse was directly in front of him, and his shoulders were broken by a blunt object.

Although Zhou Bo was only a butcher, after all, he had received strict executioner training in his early years, and he was proficient in knife skills.

Lao Su dissected the corpse for the first time, and found that the degree of damage to the fractured part of his shoulders was almost the same, and the left and right positions were not different, it was impossible for two or three people to commit murder together, in that case, the force and position of the blunt force would not be so similar. The most likely thing is that there is a person who hit Zhou Bo twice with extremely precise techniques, causing almost the same damage to his left and right shoulders.

Not only that, in addition to the shoulder injuries and the penetrating injuries on the chest, Zhou Bo also had three broken ribs under the ribs, and the kidneys and liver in his body have also been ruptured.

Han Daring looked at this ghost-headed knife again and found that the head of the knife was slightly different from what he had seen when he fought with Zhou Bo before. Zhou Bo used a ring-headed ghost-headed broadsword, and the ghost-headed knife in front of him had no iron ring, just a twisted and twisted iron bar, which was at the head of the knife. But the tip of this ghost head knife was indeed cut off by Han Da'er with a short knife!

He inspected it carefully, and then realized that the iron bar of the original head of the knife was the original ring head of the ghost head knife, but the iron ring had been deformed into a depression into the ring. The twists are huddled together, and at first glance they look like a stubby iron bar. In addition, the handle of this knife was a little tortuous, as if it was pushed horizontally from the head of the ring by a strong force, not only squeezing and deforming the iron ring, but also bending the handle a little.

Seeing this, Han Da'er suddenly felt a shock in his heart! He approached Zhou Bo's corpse, stretched out his hand to make a slight comparison between the several injuries on the corpse, and his heart was bright. Lao Su didn't know what he meant, so he asked, and Han Daring explained his speculation to Lao Su.

Zhou Bo was not hit with a blunt object, but was severely injured by someone with a heavy hand, which was an extremely strong palm force.

The murderer's martial arts are extremely high, when he suddenly attacked Zhou Bo, Zhou Bo dodged the first attack, and then swung his knife to fight back, Han Daring said while comparing the situation with his own speculation.

Zhou Bo slashed down, and the murderer avoided the blade and twisted Zhou Bo's wrist with a grappling technique. Han Daring and Zhou Bo have fought each other, and know that Zhou Bo's knife skills are precise and sharp, so this murderer must have been very quick and accurate, grabbed Zhou Bo's wrist at once, twisted it hard, and broke Zhou Bo's wrist bone, and the knife also fell out of his hand.

Zhou Bo may have wanted to stretch out his other hand to pick up the knife, but as soon as he leaned forward, the murderer used extremely fast techniques and used very strong force to break Zhou Bo's shoulders from the front. Because it was shot from the front, the murderer's height was slightly shorter than Zhou Bo's, so the broken bone wound of the palm force was on the front rather than diagonally or above.

Zhou Bo broke his shoulder bones, but he rushed towards the murderer like crazy, and then the murderer pressed his palm under his ribs, not only breaking his three ribs, but also cracking his liver, kidneys and spleen. Although Zhou Bo was seriously injured, he still held on and pounced on the murderer again.

Han Daring said as he picked up the murder weapon ghost head knife with his left hand, held the handle upside down, turned the knife head forward, and then raised his right palm and slammed it towards the head of the handle ring. Han Daring was very close to the wall, and the ghost head steel knife "Zheng" was pressed against the wall, and the flat knife head was more than an inch into the wall, but because the knife body was too heavy, it gradually deviated, and with a "bang", it slipped to the ground.

Lao Su immediately understood Han Daring's meaning, it turned out that the murderer was like him, holding the handle of the knife upside down, the head of the knife rushed forward, and with a strong palm force, the ghost head knife was punched into Zhou Bo's chest, stabbing the ribs through the back.

It's just that that person's palm power is much stronger than Han Daring'er, and he can stab the front and back ribs with a flat-headed knife and run through his body, and his palm power is really amazing!

Han Daring suddenly thought of a person, among the high hands he had seen, although there were several who had this skill, but when it came to being ruthless and strong, there was only the old man with a monkey face mask.

Although Han Da'er speculated from this, it was just speculation, after all, there are many masters in the world, and there are really not a few people with such ability. Besides, Zhou Bo is just a butcher, what can he do with the masked man? Don't......

At this time, it seemed that the puzzle pieces in Han Da'er's heart seemed to be gradually put together, but the complete chain of evidence still could not be closed.

He has been thinking about the missing links of the case in his mind, from the twenty-eighth year of the new year to the first day of the new year, he seems to be absent-minded about everything. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when he accompanied his father to Mei Ruohong's house to pay New Year's greetings, he was also like a soul wandering in a dream.

Mei Ruohong used a few days of New Year's holiday to help Han Da'er disassemble the ebony box, and saw him come to interview the box and talk to him. But Han Daring talked about the case with Mei Ruohong, and asked about the test results of the dry bone sample, and it was rare for the two to get together, but it was boring.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the little fox fairy Ye Ling went to Han Daring'er's house to pay New Year's greetings, and also brought his younger brother Ye Qing. Han Daring's mother liked this girl very much, and she was very happy to see her coming, so she hurriedly sealed two New Year's money for Ye Ling's sister and brother, and beckoned them to drink tea and eat snacks.

Although Ye Ling was very attentive to Han Daring, Han Daring ignored it all, which made Ye Ling's boss bored.

It just so happened that at this time, Lao Bai and Xiao Jude also came to the door with gifts to pay New Year's greetings. Xiao Jude and Lao Bai are both foreigners, and their families are not old, but they have lived in Tianjin for a long time and are familiar with Chinese customs, so they brought two boxes of pastries to Han Da'er's house to pay New Year's greetings. The two of them were not married, and Han Dada'er and his father gave a letter of New Year's money as usual.

These two families are not short of money, not for this, but for Han Da'er's family to have a rich meal for the New Year, especially the little Jews, the family is a traditional Jewish family, although they are rich, but they are very frugal, but the little Jews are gluttonous, so they love to eat authentic Tianjin food, so they pulled Lao Bai to come to the New Year, in order to relieve the appetite.

At noon, everyone ate at Han Daring'er's house, Lao Baidao was nothing, but the little Jews were full of praise for Han Daring'er's meals, which made the old couple very happy.

The little Jew saw a beautiful girl and a teenager from Han Da'er's house, thinking that they were relatives of the Han family. After asking, Han Dada'er quietly told Xiao Jude and Lao Bai about Ye Ling.

Lao Bai is calm, but he has a very good impression of Ye Ling, but Ye Ling has always had no good impression of foreigners, seeing that this foreigner can speak Chinese, but also just cold and perfunctory, Ye Ling's younger brother is also in the church school, is Han Daan'er, Lao Bai, Little Jewish junior brother, talking about school, Ye Qing and Lao Bai are very happy.

Everyone chattered at Han Da'er's house for a long time, and did not leave until the afternoon. Since then, Lao Bai has never forgotten Ye Ling, and he mentioned it to Han Daring from time to time, but Ye Ling's girl already has a heart, even a Chinese man can't get into his eyes, let alone a white-skinned and blue-eyed foreigner!

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lao Bai and Xiao Jude came to Han Daring's house again, Xiao Jude was for this dumpling, but Lao Bai wanted to try his luck and see Ye Ling again.

On the day of breaking the five, it was a pinching villain, but no one actually visited the door on this day, but the old white and little Jews didn't care about these old orders, although Han Daring's father and mother were old Tianjin Wei, but they didn't care much about the old orders of the New Year. The little Jew is quite useless when he eats it, and he stuffed more than 70 dumplings at noon, so that he bent over hard, but he proposed that he go to the real immortals in the west to watch the excitement!

Han Daring was not interested in these temples in the first place, and he didn't want to go to think about the case at this time. Who knows that the little Jews said that the people said that the true immortal view of the old way can exert magical powers, can master thunder and lightning, connect the thunder, and can also make fire in the water, please go down to the earth, many people have seen it with their own eyes!

Today happened to be a festival in the True Immortal Temple, giving blessings, and the little Jews were very curious, just like going to see it.

Han Daring didn't believe in these strange things at all, but the little Jew regarded the True Immortal Temple as a circus, and the old Tao as a magician, so he had to take Han Daring with him.

Han Daring's parents watched their son these days, just studying the case, depressed, just took the opportunity to go out for a walk, so they sent him to go with the little Jewish Lao Bai, Han Daring couldn't resist his hometown, so he could only follow the little Jewish and go to the True Immortal Temple together!

Who knew that this time was gone, but he got another important "puzzle" of the case!
