Chapter 3: The corpse of the woman in red in the Octagonal Pavilion

It's not impossible, in the cases she has been exposed to before, there are many murderers, and the more murderous the murderer, the more so, after the killing, will return to the scene of the murder.

This kind of mentality is very complicated, some are to observe the development of things, some are afraid of leaving evidence at the scene, and some are perverted, just to satisfy the distorted psychology, the more onlookers, the worse the social repercussions, the more excited the murderer, all kinds of things.

Ye Caitang held his breath and didn't move, and he didn't dare to stretch out his head to observe.

But she could judge from the footsteps that there were three people coming, all three of them were men, or very strong women, who were above her in height and weight, who walked calmly but briskly, and who were very physically fit, or, who were so-called people who knew martial arts.

The three of them walked forward without turning, and when they came out of the opposite door was the lotus pond, they had a clear goal, and it could be seen that they were also here for Lin Ling's affairs, and it was not the first time they came, they knew the way.

Ye Caitang was still pondering the identities of these people in his heart, and suddenly, his footsteps stopped.

She chuckled in her heart, could it be that she had discovered me?

Thinking about it, he raised his head and wanted to take a sneak look, but as soon as he raised his head, suddenly a huge black shadow shrouded him, Ye Caitang only felt a huge force rushing in, his arm was grabbed and twisted back, the whole person was turned around and attached to the rockery, and the lantern fell to the ground with a snap.

The man's strength was very strong, and his grappling posture was very standard, holding her shoulder with one hand and twisting her arm with the other, so that she had no room for struggle.

Thanks to the rockery, there is no particularly sharp protrusion in this place, but her face is rubbing against the stone, and there is still a hot pain.

"Who?" A male voice behind him was low and cold.

Ye Caitang listened to this voice, but his heart was relieved, and he said continuously: "Lord Xia, Lord Xia, it's my ......"

This is actually the headhunter Xia Yue of the six doors, and he is here to investigate the scene of the crime.

The hand that was gripping her arm like an iron tong slowly loosened, and Xia Yue obviously heard Ye Caitang's voice.

Ye Caitang shook his hand and turned around, feeling that his arm was about to break.

Xia Yue also brought two subordinates, both of whom were men of the same age as him, they were all holding torches, and came over to take a look, although they didn't know Ye Caitang, but when they saw that it was a young and thin girl, they were also relieved, and shouted out the title of Lord Xia, obviously they also knew each other.

"Why are you here?" Xia Yue frowned, obviously very puzzled by this.

He turned to the person next to him and explained, "This is the sister of today's victim. ”

The two of them were stunned.

Ye Caitang hurriedly said: "My name is Ye Caitang." ”

Xia Yue suddenly felt that something was wrong: "The deceased's name is Lin Ling, why is your surname Ye?" ”

Ye Caitang explained: "It's not a sister, it's better than a sister." ”

Well, it's not unreasonable.

Ye Caitang said: "My lord came here to investigate the scene at this time, and I was also planning to take a look." ”

In fact, she is quite happy, alone in such a deserted place, she is not afraid of snakes, insects, rats, ants, ghosts, but she is really afraid of bad people. Now that he meets Xia Yue, he will be safe.

After Ye Caitang finished speaking, she picked up her small lantern from the ground, shook her arm and was about to walk forward, when she was grabbed by Xia Yue.

Ye Caitang turned back strangely.

"Liu Sha, send her out." Xia Yue commanded, and then looked at Ye Caitang with a displeased face: "You are really not small, a person dares to come to this kind of place, is he not afraid of encountering bad people and ghosts?" ”

"I'm not afraid of ghosts." Ye Caitang first confirmed a sentence, and then showed the dagger to Xia Yue: "The gangsters are actually afraid, but the longer the time, the fewer traces will be left at the crime scene, so I will come again today no matter what." ”

In Xia Yue's opinion, this dagger is really hard to cut a fruit, can it deal with gangsters?

However, seeing Ye Caitang being so righteous, Xia Yue seemed to be a little touched, and his voice softened: "Although you are a girl, you are affectionate and righteous." ”

If these words had been put in the past, Ye Caitang would definitely give Xia Yue eight zhang away, and it would be wrong to discriminate against women.

But this time is different from the past, Ye Caitang has always been able to bend and stretch, and said with a smile: "Lord Xia, I am more relieved that you are here, let's hurry up and go to the Octagonal Pavilion to have a look." ”

She thought that now that she was only a wall away from the scene of the crime, Xia Yue couldn't kick herself out again.

But Xia Yue can.

"Six doors will be responsible for the case, you are just an ordinary person, and if you get involved, there will be danger." Xia Yue turned his head and instructed his subordinates: "Liu Sha, send people out."

A young man with beautiful eyebrows beside Xia Yue immediately responded: "Miss Ye, come with me, I'll send you back." ”

Ye Caitang was very depressed, how could he run into Xia Yue who didn't eat oil and salt, and was about to say something more, when suddenly, a gust of wind blew.

Outside the door, there was a voice.

All four fell silent, held their breath, and looked out together.

The sound was even more pronounced.

"Knock...... Boom...... Knock ......"

Boom...... Boom...... Knock ......"

Suddenly, suddenly, suddenly, unhurriedly, unhurriedly, as if something was persistently banging against the wall.

Although this is an abandoned house, it is not a deep mountain field, there are villages and people coming and going, and there are at most some wild cats and wild dogs here, and there are no large beasts that can collide with such movements.

Xia Yue was only stunned for a moment, and immediately swept over, his two subordinates followed closely, and Ye Caitang naturally followed immediately.

Unless Xia Yue takes her out, otherwise she will be here, where is she willing to go.

Open the door to the promenade, one side of the promenade is a lotus pond, and the end is connected to the octagonal pavilion.

Ye Caitang rushed out of the door and ran to the end of the corridor, where he saw Xia Yue and his two subordinates standing by the lotus pond, looking at the octagonal pavilion in a daze.

It has just rained, and the lotus leaves in the pond are luxuriant. The water surface was foggy, everything was hazy, and the sound of knock, knock, knock came from above.

One at a time, one at a time, at the same pace, the same size.

I saw a woman in a long red dress hanging on the beam of the octagonal pavilion, her black hair was fluttering, her hands and feet were vertical, and when the wind blew, her body hit the pavilion pillar on the side, making a banging sound.

The woman wore a black satin around her neck, which was knotted and hung from a wooden beam. From her vertical stiff state, Ye Caitang could be sure that this was already a dead person.

"Put people down." Xia Yue's words woke up Ye Caitang, and hurriedly followed her to the octagonal pavilion, Xia Yue glanced at her unhappily, but now she didn't have the heart.

The woman was put down and lay flat on the ground, twenty-five or sixteen years old, with exquisite makeup and peugeot features. Looking at the clothes, it is by no means comparable to the hired workers these days.

Her face was pale and bruised, her eyes were closed, and her mouth was slightly open to reveal the tip of her tongue.
