13 Draw a murderous image

Shang Buqi saw that everyone was a little confused when he heard this, and immediately smiled proudly, and said: "The so-called 'portrait' is based on the existing clues, outlining the gender, age, height, appearance, personality and behavior of the perpetrator, and then bringing himself into the heart of the perpetrator, simulating the perpetrator's every move, thus restoring the entire case." And this whole process is like painting a portrait of the perpetrator, but it is not only a portrait, but also a painting of bones, hearts, and souls. In contrast, 'reasoning' is only the perpetrator of the crime using his own thinking to figure out the perpetrator, fundamentally ignoring the differences in human nature, while the 'portrait' is to make the perpetrator and the co-perpetrator become one, and use it as the criminal's thinking to understand the overall situation. In this way, it can be said that there is no case to be solved, and there is no disadvantage. However, looking at today, the only people who can reach this realm are me and Shi Tianxiang, if others want to draw a gourd in the same way, in the end they are all painting tigers and not anti-dogs, and they laugh at the generous family. ”

Hearing this, Xie Yixiang naturally recalled Shi Tianxiang, the "Rainy Night Man Slaughter" in the depths of the prison. In order to solve the case of the face-tearing demon, Zhuang Haoming asked her to go to the prison to seek advice from Shi Tianxiang, and said that Shi Tianxiang was a strange person, not only proficient in the art of killing, but also thoughtful, good at drawing inferences from one example. Some irrelevant side details, as long as they are in Shi Tianxiang's hands, can be connected to restore the essence of the matter, and even understand the murderer's heart, outlining the general appearance of the murderer; this is very similar to the so-called fourth "portrait" realm of Shang Buqi. It's a pity that Shi Tianxiang has already been killed by Yan Sidao, Xie Yixiang's trip to the prison was not only fruitless, but in the end, he even let Yan Sidao this demon king go. Although these were only two or three years ago, Xie Yixiang remembered it at this time, but she already felt a little like a different world.

Sister Na Yue couldn't help but ask: "Shang Shenzhu's so-called 'portrait' realm, although it is the first time I have heard of it, I have generally heard about it, and it is really eye-opening and beneficial. But at present, we don't know anything about the murderer in this series of disappearances on Mount Emei, and we don't know any clues at all.

Hearing that the business did not give up and denied, everyone was a little confused. This Beiping god catcher just talked a lot about it, that is, he was talking about the fourfold realm of solving the case, and boasted about his "portrait" methods, but why did he say that he did not paint a portrait of the murderer on Mount Emei at this moment? I only heard Xian Jingyue's voice suddenly sound, and said coldly: "Human life is at stake, and there is no room for the slightest delay. Since the head of the merchant claimed to have solved the case, he quickly said it. As soon as the words fell, a piercing chill had risen from the hearts of everyone present, and those who had a little insight immediately knew that this was murderous.

Nashang Buqi was obviously a little afraid of this "first person in the world in ten years", and couldn't help muttering a few words, and then finally said: "This strange case on Mount Emei, I really can't paint a portrait of the murderer." But in the same way, I can paint portraits of those who have disappeared. ”

At the moment, if the business does not give up, it will be eloquent. It turned out that he was excited by Ning Cui that day, and only said that he wanted him to solve a strange case on Mount Emei, and there was no other explanation, and he didn't even know what happened on Mount Emei. Fortunately, not long after Shang Buqi arrived in Mount Emei, he bumped into a wealthy merchant surnamed Xu in Hankou who was looking for the whereabouts of Xu Liugongzi on the mountain.

Since all this is just a conjecture that Shang does not give up, it is inconvenient to alarm the local government, so he secretly infiltrated the yamen of Emeishan Town to investigate, and saw the files of these missing tourists one step ahead of Sister Yue, so as to come to the same conclusion as Sister Yue, and determined that behind the disappearance of Xu Liugongzi was a premeditated serial disappearance case, and the objects of disappearance were all lone tourists who came to Emei Mountain from other places to play. At that time, Sister Yue had not yet been dispatched by Yin of Jiazhou Mansion to investigate the case.

In the face of this series of brainless disappearances, even if Shang Buqi proclaimed himself "the first god in the world throughout the ages", he had no clue and could not paint a portrait of the murderer. Moreover, according to the records in the dossier, the disappearance of lone tourists from other places on Mount Emei clearly began a hundred years ago, and if it is said that ordinary murderers committed serial crimes, how could it be that they continued for hundreds of years without exhaustion? Shang Buqi and Sister Yue's opinion were the same, and at that time it was determined that these killed tourists must have something else in common besides the two characteristics of "out-of-town" and "alone", such as that they had all been to a certain place on the mountain and had done something on the mountain. Since the existing clues are not enough to paint a portrait of the murderer, why not paint a portrait of these missing tourists, restore their experience of visiting Mount Emei, and find out the common ground in their behavior?

It is said that this "wicked grinder" businessman does not give up, and has always been obsessed with solving cases, although the reason for this trip is to arrest the "face-tearing demon", who knows that Ning Cui failed to catch it, and was provoked by the other party to Mount Emei. Since he had begun to investigate the strange case on Mount Emei, Shang Bu gave up and threw himself into it without distraction, and immediately put his ideas into action. He first went to Hankou, went to the home of a wealthy merchant surnamed Xu to reveal his identity, and learned everything about the life of Xu Liugongzi, so as to paint a portrait of Xu Liugongzi and carefully figure out the behavior of Xu Liugongzi. Then he regarded himself as Xu Liugongzi, and went to Mount Emei alone, recording all the hiking routes, scenic spots and people he encountered. And Shang Bu's temptation is naturally to retreat with his whole body, just as he inferred before, because Xu Liugongzi's disappearance has attracted the attention of others, in order to be safe, the murderer will never harm people again in the short term.

However, the behavior of Xu Liugongzi alone is far from enough to break through this mystery, and Shang is naturally prepared if he does not give up. Before he went to Hankow, he had selected six missing people from the disappearance case files he had seen earlier, and while visiting a wealthy businessman surnamed Xu, he also visited the relatives and friends of the other six missing people. Since these six disappearances have been going on for some years, and the earliest one has disappeared more than 30 years ago, Shang Buqi has gone to great lengths to find out only the relatives and friends of the four missing persons, and more or less inquire about their lives. So Shang Buqi painted the portraits of the four missing people one by one, played them in turn, and went to Mount Emei four times successively, plus the previous trip of Xu Liugongzi, Shang Buqi combined the behavior of these five missing people to visit Mount Emei, and finally found the similarities.

It turned out that although Shang Buqi didn't understand the eight characters of birth, he couldn't see that the missing people were all "four fires together", so he directly locked the temple and Taoist temple on Mount Emei like Xie Yixiang and Xian Jingyue for testing, but the five missing tourists painted by him had duplicate travel routes on Mount Emei, that is, these five missing tourists had been to the same place when they played on Mount Emei.

You must know that Mount Emei covers an area of more than 200,000 acres, there are at least a dozen roads to go up the mountain, among which there are hundreds of well-known scenic spots, and these tourists from other places due to different personalities, habits, etc., the routes and ways of going up the mountain are naturally different. Just like Shang does not abandon the portrait of the missing person, there is a middle-aged woman who is most afraid of the cold, but in the late winter at the end of November to climb Mount Emei, along the way can be described as ice and snow, with her habits, only afraid that the Wannian Temple, which is not halfway up the mountain, will turn around in the elephant washing pool; and it is like the youngest son of a pancake stall owner, who has learned his father's careful calculation since he was a child, and has always been stingy, so he naturally refuses to spend two taels of silver to enter the Emei Sword Sect and go to Jinding to play; and it is like a teaching gentleman, who has always been lazy, and will definitely hire a soft sedan chair to go up the mountain, and the classics along the way will never stop the sedan chair to stop and play if it is not necessary。

In this way, it is only necessary to superimpose the travel routes of the five missing tourists, and the duplicate places will naturally come out. In addition to several sections of the main mountain road, there are several scenic spots such as "Fuhu Temple", "Qingyin Pavilion", "Hong Chunping", "Zhichen Nunnery" and "Washing Elephant Pond", and then combined with Xie Yixiang's conclusion, the target is the temple and Taoist temple on the mountain, then there are only two temples left: "Fuhu Temple" and "Zhichen Nunnery". And Xie Yixiang has already tried the Fuhu Temple at the foot of the mountain early this morning, and the monk fortune-telling inside is only to explain the sign to the tourists, and he has not asked for the birthday from beginning to end, so in the end there is only the "dust hermitage" left.

After listening to Shang Buqi's analysis, everyone woke up one after another, and sure enough, as Shang Buqi said, this case can indeed be said to have been solved. The target is to target the "dust hermitage", which is the conclusion that Xie Yixiang and Shang Buqi have two completely different detective ideas, and roughly speaking, at least more than fifty percent of them are sure that the disappearance of lone tourists from other places in Emei Mountain in the past hundred years is related to this "dust hermitage".

At that moment, everyone discussed how to investigate or test the "Dust Stopping Nunnery", but Xie Yixiang, Xian Jingyue and Shang Bu abandoned the three of them, even including Sister Yue, were a little unfamiliar with this "Dust Stopping Nunnery", so they had to ask the officials of the Emei Sword Sect if they were defeated. Unexpectedly, from the moment he heard the name of "Dust Stopping Nunnery", his eyes showed a frightened look, and his whole fat face was soaked, and he didn't know whether it was dripping cold sweat or grease. Seeing this, Xie Yixiang couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the senior of the official knows the details of this 'dust hermitage'?"

I saw that Guan Ruo shook his head slowly, and only after half a ring did he say: "The stakes are very high, I have to ask the senior brother in charge before I can ......" Everyone present listened inexplicably, and was about to continue to ask, the monk Hai Niantan of Lingyun Mountain had already interjected and said: "Although you are famous heroes on the rivers and lakes, you may not know some of the secrets of my Shu land. Speaking of this 'dust hermitage', the old man knows a little about it, it is a senate of the Shi family, and it is full of nuns who practice. And...... And ......"

He said two "ands" in a row, and his face became a little ugly, and finally he said the following, sighing, "...... And a long, long time ago, this 'dust hermitage' was a well-known sect in the rivers and lakes, because it was built on Mount Emei, so it was also called 'Emei faction' by the people in the rivers and lakes. ”
