Chapter 252: Mirror Murder
The afternoon sun can be felt through the windows.
Sunshadow leaned against the window, letting the refracted sunlight warm his injured arm. The pink gauze curtain fluttered, blocking his vision from time to time, hiding the bloody atmosphere that could not be dispersed in the room.
False afternoon tranquility.
"What are you thinking?" Peng Xiu asked softly as he watched Riying stand by the window for a long time.
"I'm wondering what he's trying to say with these corpses......" Hikage sighed slightly.
Abusives have a variety of reasons to be violent against others. These reasons are twisted, bizarre, and unreasonable, and most of them are full of personality, and they are the constant thread that links the crime to the real culprit. Whether it's looking at the scene or examining the body, it's to find the thread. If you pull on one end, maybe you can find the other end by pulling and pulling?
But at this time, the sun shadow was a little incomprehensible.
Sunshadow looked inside, except for the corpse that had been marked and cleaned up, most of the traces were still there, waiting for them to check it out.
The corpse can still be seen in its strange form from the marking. The corpses of the two dancing girls were divided, chopped into pieces, rolled up and wrapped in a wide red ribbon, and pulled into the room like flowing water.
The original perfect body is broken apart like a building block, and then combined into a flying dance character, an expanded version, the posture is more distorted dancer, the feet can be soft to the head, the hands can wrap around the body, and the face and hands are facing the same direction, which is the direction of the red extension.
The red ribbon stretched out, sticking out of the room, and stretched out of the room, and was extended and extended, and was extended all the way to the outside of the door, to the next door.
The next room was very similar to this one, with another dancing girl, displayed in the same way, with her hands and face facing in this direction. The two rooms separated by a wall, like mirrors, together form a pattern of killing. They were not sisters, but were made twins after death.
"Maybe it's just fun, or maybe it's just jealousy. Peng Xiu frowned. "But this time the blood was too clean. ”
Obviously two people died, and the bodies were divided, but the room was clean, there were no large chunks of blood and traces of fighting, as if it was just a work of art created on a clean canvas.
"He dyed the cloth red with blood, then tore it open and made these ribbons around the corpses......" Sunshadow frowned as he looked at the extremely evenly dyed ribbons.
"It's like creating. But the murderous spirit is too heavy. It also stinks. This blood is not so pretty. Peng Xiu looked at it in disgust, and flipped through the bedside table and dressing table.
The dressing table is their little vault, where expensive spices are stored and all kinds of valuable jewelry are hidden. Peng Xiu flipped through them one by one, and stopped when he fished out something from the makeup box, stunned.
"What is it?" said Sunshadow.
Peng Xiu spread out his hand, and it was a bronze cosmetic mirror box that could be closed, with a bird pattern engraved on it, and the feathers were vivid and dotted with broken gems, which looked ancient and precious.
"A vanity mirror?" "Sunshadow wondered, what was different about this, and Peng Xiu fished it out of a pile of things.
The pattern on this is Feng Tianyi's family crest. Peng Xiu looked at the makeup mirror box coldly.
"He gave it to this dancing girl. "After all, Feng Tianyi lived in Landscape City for three years before leaving, so it's not strange to come to this kind of place.
"No, it won't. Peng Xiu shook his head affirmatively. "That guy attaches great importance to the family, after he was expelled, he almost came here cleanly, it is not easy to get this kind of thing with a family crest, how can he give it to anyone casually. And this thing, I seem to have seen before. ”
"Have you seen it, which of the Feng family's young lady's belongings?" asked Hikage.
"It's not...... But it's not the same thing. Because what I saw should have been put in the tomb. It's not possible to be here. The more Peng Xiu flipped through it and looked at it in his hand, the more he felt a little incredible.
"In the tomb?" Sunshadow frowned, reaching for it and looking at it, shaking it in his ear to hear a subtle sound. "Is this an imitation?"
"It doesn't look like it. Peng Xiu shook his head, "Turn it on." ”
The Shadow held it in his hand and was about to open it, only to find that it had no gaps to start with. The whole box is like a natural whole, not like a closed cosmetic mirror box, but more like a carved work of art. Did he make a mistake? Sunshadow took it in his hand and flipped it over.
"Little Shadow, press the feathers on its tail. Peng Xiu thought for a moment.
Sunshadow placed the vanity mirror case in the center of his palm and pressed it gently, and the mirror box slowly popped open, emitting a faint fragrance.
The inside of the case is a symmetrical mirror, which is indeed used for touch-ups, and it doesn't seem to be anything special.
"There are mezzanines underneath the upper and lower mirrors. Peng Xiu said as he operated in the hand of the Sun Shadow, and then pressed the place of the mirror, and two small mezzanine also popped out.
"Such a small thing, but so many mezzanines. It's exquisite, indeed. Sunkage praised.
"I saw this once. However...... "Peng Xiu is also sure that what they have now is not an imitation.
"Are there two of them?"
Peng Xiu thought about it, held it up again, looked at the light again, and sure enough, on the wall of the small dark grid, there was an extremely fine particle inscription, Tianyi. "It's indeed his, and it's the one in the tomb. How could it be here......"
Just as Peng Xiu lifted it, a bright spot fell through the crack in the box, and Sunshadow saw a handful reach out to catch it.
Spread out in the palm of your hand is a fragment of an emerald gemstone, the color of which makes the shadow of the sun somewhat familiar. What he saw in Nemesis' room seemed to be such a fragment.
"What is this, is the gem on this one gone? or some other piece of jewelry. Peng Xiu asked.
After all, there are too many jewels in front of them, and the colors are also colorful, and there are many such emerald gemstones.
"Probably. Sunshadow clenched his fist and nodded, but took the fragment into his pocket and asked as he changed the subject. "Is there anything else in the box?"
"And this. Peng Xiu pulled out a transparent piece of paper that was covered and as thin as a silkworm wing.
"There are words on it. Sunshadow said as he saw the small black horizontal lines and dots on it.
The two of them pointed the paper to the light, still not understanding what it meant. The dots and lines seem to be separate lists, not well put together at all.
"I feel like there's still a part. Sunshadow asked. The two glanced at each other, tacitly walked outward, and walked next door together.
There are fewer items on the dressing table here. The shadow of the sun was overturned, but nothing was found. Peng Xiu rummaged through the bedside table, and there were only some women's supplies in it, and there was nothing useful.
The two of them were going to look at the wardrobe together. Sunshade turned and stepped under the bed, but nearly tripped over something.
The two crouched down and looked down at the bottom of the bed. Tripping Sunshadow wasn't a cold item, it was a knot that stretched out, and the source looked at both of them stunned, it was a lace black underwear, and there were many, many sets of underwear and underwear, which were placed in transparent bags and boxes.
Pulled out one by one by the Sun Shadow, it seems that it can be piled up into a hill.
It's about Maihime's hobby. Peng Xiu looked at the sun shadow and his face was expressionless, but his ears were slightly red, and he quickly stood up with a dry cough.
Sunshadow knelt on the ground, took out the last one, held it in his hand, and looked up at Peng Xiu, who got up and coughed dryly.
This posture, this angle, is incomparably like a comparison on the body when buying.
It's a pity that he can't see the sun shadow dressed like this now.
Peng Xiu's ears turned red instantly, and he quickly shifted his gaze. "Well, it's okay, I'll go check the closet. Peng Xiu stammered.
Sun Ying put down his underwear for some reason, and seeing that there was nothing useful in them, he also prepared to get up and go with Peng Xiu. But he suddenly noticed that the decorations on the corners of the bed were writhing. The mark was subtle, not because he was crouching on the ground and was barely able to detect it.
The shadow of the sun writhed, and sure enough, the ornament fell off, revealing a tiny space with a thin piece of paper on the cicada's wings.
"Found it. Sunshadow said.
The lines and dots on the paper were different from the previous ones, and the Hikage took the two pieces of paper, looked at them, and stacked them on top of each other, and sure enough, they could be combined and turned into a part of the text.
"Is this one still missing?" Peng Xiu frowned.
"Let's find it again?" said Sunshadow.
"Maybe not. Peng Xiu shook his head, "Although there is still one missing, some of them are still recognizable, you see here." Peng Xiu pointed to one place.
"Dorcott?" Hikage looked at for a moment, and from the broken words, he couldn't quite make a sure inference.
"I think so. Depending on the form of the list above, this may be a list. He's on it, which could also indicate that they thought he was dead. Peng Xiu reasoned.
"You're right. Sunshadow agreed, "Hugh, look at the name." ”
"Kouyi," Peng Xiu said, "Is it Danwu?"
Sunshadow nodded, "He's the latest to die, and the last on this list. ”
"Then let's take a look. Look at what he died again. Peng Xiu said helplessly.
At this time, there were still a few people standing at the door of the dead Danwu room, that is, the patrol captain Li Qi, the head of the Red Mansion, and Hong Sanye, the representative of the third force in Landscape City, they didn't care about the death of the dancing girl at all, so they didn't follow Sun Ying and Peng Xiu to the dancing girl's room on the next floor, but came directly to the door of the VIP room.
"Who the hell is this Danwu, why didn't you report it to me. Hong Sanye asked the ghost sharply. As he spoke, he poked the ghost with his crutches again, and without those two people now, he wouldn't have to be polite.
"Third master. I really didn't know at first. The ghost cried. This man came with his face covered, and at first he only gave a large amount of silver, so he chartered this VIP room and did not go out for several days. Although I called the girls in. But he doesn't usually talk to these girls. I have asked people several times, but to no avail. According to the rules of Landscape City, if you have money, you don't have to ask where you come from, and I can't force it. ”
"Then how do you know now?"
"It was after he died, and we went to rummage through his package. Nicky replied for the ghost, only to discover his badge.
"Who is it?"
"Yes...... Yes, the archbishop of the Holy See of Light at the level of diocesan or above. Nicky said.
"What?" Hong Sanye was also stunned. "This ......"
Hong Sanye also understood why the ghost didn't dare to tell him, why he obeyed the order and closed the Red Mansion. He felt unprecedentedly tricky, and he knew very well in his heart that in the landscape city, even if the death of a duke of a purple kite, even the death of a prince of that country could be calmed down, it would not be a matter. But the only one who died was the bishop of the Holy Court of Light, and he couldn't be easily good.
