Section 15 Strange corpses

The house in front of me is not big, but it is very dim.

A shabby-looking coffin was placed in the middle of the box.

A large 'Dien' character hangs on the wall facing the door.

On the side of the coffin near the door, a pile of incense and candle offerings was placed.

"This is the mourning hall that I set up for Jiang Gongzi. Doctor Liu made a fire break: "He is also a wonderful person, I like him very much, but unfortunately he died inexplicably for a legendary treasure." ”

"The legendary treasure?" Ji Ran asked, "Mu Yunxiao's treasure?"

Dr. Liu's pale face looked like a zombie in the light of the fire, and he nodded and said, "Yes, I have advised him not to touch that ghost thing, but there is still no way to save him!"

What he said was really emotional, and when it came to the sincerity of his feelings, even Ji Ran was a little embarrassed.

But Ji Ran always had a feeling of being watched, and since he walked into this coffin shop, he felt an eerie chill chilling from his back to the soles of his feet.

Although Ji Ran's courage is very great, he still can't help but raise his vigilance a little, his sixth sense has always been very reliable.

This son, who has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for a long time, may not be as simple as being bold, it can be said that there are no taboos, and even the Heart Painting Sword, which represents the identity of the young master of Zhangjian Xuan, was also used by him to pay off his gambling debts.

But when Dr. Liu lit the candles in the room, he still felt scared.

When the coffin was opened, Ji Ran saw Jiang Xiaoyun.

Although the face of the dead man was different from that of the living, Ji Ran could see at a glance that this dead man was indeed Jiang Xiaoyun, and he also saw the panic and fear that Jiang Xiaoyun left on his face before he died.

"His death is strange!" Dr. Liu asked.

Ji Ran didn't speak, because he also saw something strange.

In his impression, this senior brother of his has never shown such an expression.

Then he checked the cause of Jiang Xiaoyun's death.

The wound was on the opening of his heart in the front chest, a knife wound. A lethal knife and a clean one.

Ji Ran is absolutely sure of this.

However, this seemingly crisp knife made him even more confused.

If this wound appeared on the back, Ji Ran could still use the sneak attack to convince himself, but this wound appeared in the heart.

Jiang Xiaoyun's martial arts are really not low, even the people who can beat him on the rivers and lakes are only ten fingers, let alone kill him with such a neat sword.

So there was a very strange and bewildered expression on his face, and he kept shaking his head, and kept muttering, "Who is it?" ”

He even repeated this sentence several times, Dr. Liu is undoubtedly a very patient person, how can people who often face dead people have no patience?

So he waited until Ji Ran repeated this sentence five or six times before he asked, "What's wrong?"

Ji Ran didn't answer this sentence, but just shouted loudly: "It's Jiang Xiaoyun lying here!"

He didn't wait for Dr. Liu to answer, so he continued: "There are no more than ten people in this Jianghu who can win against him, but none of them can kill him, his light skills are too high, even I can't catch up, why is he killed by someone with one blow?"

But this is undoubtedly the case now.

The corpse in the coffin did not change its clothes, it looked like it was still the same as before he died, and even the blood stains seemed to be new, so that Ji Ran could completely feel what was happening.

That's why Ji Ran thought it was impossible, because this kind of injury would not be possible unless it was plotted by his closest friends.

How could Jiang Xiaoyun have friends in this town?

Unless it's poisoned!

Thinking of this, Ji Ran couldn't care much about it, lying on the wound of the corpse, and carefully sniffed the blood on his clothes that had already dried up.

But there was no sign of poisoning.

Ji Ran's gaze finally moved from this knife edge to Dr. Liu's face.

"Where did he die?"

"Outside the door of a bookstore. Dr. Liu replied, "A bookstore that has just been open for a long time. ”

"Bookstore?, why bookstore?, what is he doing in the bookstore?"

"Because of this!"

Dr. Liu put his hand into the coffin and fumbled for a while before taking out a book.

A book that has been pierced by a knife.

"He told me that the book was sold to him. ”

He added: "He told me that morning that he was going to find someone to find out where the book came from. ”

Ji Ran sighed in his heart, and asked Dr. Liu again: "You found the corpse?"

"How do you know?" Dr. Liu looked surprised: "Yes, it was discovered by a person with gold and jade!"

"Sure enough. Ji Ran said: "The murderer assassinated Jiang Xiaoyun in a careless manner, and even this book was pierced, he must be excited and flustered in his heart, and since he was killed at the door of the bookstore, it must have happened in the downtown area, and he pulled out the knife in a hurry, if he couldn't pull it out the first time, and he couldn't pull it out again the second time, he wouldn't try the third time." ”

Ji Ran said in a very calm voice: "And now I haven't seen such a knife, since you didn't even help Jiang Gongzi change his shroud, he won't even pull out a murder weapon." ”

Dr. Liu sighed: "I don't know who you really are until now, but I already know that you must be a very wonderful person. ”

"Is that how it is?"

"Yes. ”

"Did you pull out the knife?"

"Not me. Dr. Liu said, "When the body was delivered, there was no knife. ”

"Where's the knife?"

"Knife?" Doctor Liu seemed to have suddenly forgotten all the words he had just said, and just smiled playfully: "What do you say?"

Ji Ran also smiled.

He and Dr. Liu are both smart people, and some things don't need to be said so clearly.

Ji Ran just silently opened the book in his hand.

After a little scrutiny, he didn't find anything unusual.

This is a novel that chronicles the story of gods and monsters.

The writing can only be said to be average, and it is not attractive at all.

However, if there is anything that stands out about this novel, it is the nine lifelike illustrations in the novel.

Although it looks very grotesque, it is really realistic.

"What kind of book is this?" Ji Ran looked at Dr. Liu suspiciously.

Doctor Liu's white face, which seemed to have stiffened, finally showed a smile that looked like a smile: "This is a very famous book in foreign races!"

"I want to hear about it!"

At this time, the doctor completely put on a different look, Ji Ran really wanted to slap it and kick it hard, but he still had to make a deferential expression.
