We climbed over the courtyard wall easily and opened the door in the middle.
As soon as the door opened, a choking musty smell rushed towards me. I glanced around the room and saw trash scattered all over the floor, covered with a thick layer of dust.
This kind of place is obviously an abandoned courtyard that has been uninhabited for a long time. What mystery could there be? I frowned and looked around carefully, but found nothing.
"I don't see anything surprising here. Maybe it's just a coincidence that Lao Youxin appears here." Ren Yonghai said.
In a few minutes, we had looked around all three rooms and found nothing. There was thick dust in the room, and if anything had happened here, it would have left some traces. But the dust was well preserved, and there were no traces of footprints on it at all.
I checked the door handle and window frame carefully, and it was the same.
After a futile effort, we returned to the car. Only half an hou
The place behind the door is not complicated, it is just a room built underground. Compared with the shed above, the space here is more spacious.In the middle of the room, against the wall, there is a stone couch more than two meters long and one meter wide. There is no small table on the couch, and it is covered with soft cushions.In front of the wooden table is a long stone table.There were many unnamed weird things scattered on the stone table, including insect corpses, smelly meat balls that looked like internal organs, strange tools, etc. There were black blood stains all over the table.A pottery basin was placed in the middle of the table, containing a pitch-black disgusting liquid that exuded a stench."Lin Kun, what the hell is this place? Why does it look so like the place where wizards live in Heiyun Village?" Ren Yonghai said while suppressing his nausea."This may be from the same school as the art of witchcraft!" I answered
Of course I believe in Ren Yonghai's ability. As a senior criminal police officer, solving crimes is his specialty. If you want to successfully investigate the person behind the goods, you can only rely on him to find the key evidence as soon as possible.We both carefully exited the room, trying not to disrupt the scene. Of course, when we came in, we were bound to have a certain impact on the scene, but it didn't hurt. Because no one will come back to this place for more than ten or twenty days. By the time the other party comes back here again, the traces we left will have long disappeared.After leaving the cemetery, I said goodbye to Ren Yonghai. He was responsible for investigating clues, while I patiently waited for news about him at home.The next morning, it was already after nine o'clock when I woke up.The sun is just right, and warm light shines through the large floor-to-ceiling windows."Wake up, what time is it? Are you still sleep
"There really are!" Ren Yonghai continued, "It is difficult to combine these missing persons in different areas and at different times for investigation, because there are no direct clues to show that they are not independent cases. After all, massacres occur every day in every place. Lost or missing cases, so I focused the investigation on traffic.”"Traffic?" I asked in surprise, "What can you find out by checking the traffic?""This is what inspired me." Ren Yonghai smiled mysteriously and said, "Last time at the cemetery, you said that these missing people from all directions converged on one point, which was an important key point. These people, To be precise, it’s a corpse, there’s no way it could have come here on its own, someone must transport it!”I nodded and said, "You're right, what did you find out?""Originally, checking traffic health was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I didn't hold out the hope of being able to find out the c
Qiu Louyan was the Midnight Black Fox after all. She immediately understood what was going on and said, "It looks like you are in trouble.""You think it's troublesome too?"Qiu Louyan rolled her eyes at me and said, "I've warned you a long time ago not to get into this trouble. Now it's okay. There are even problems within the police force. Tell me, what should we do now?""Hey, what's the point of talking about this now." I was also quite annoyed. Originally, I helped Ren Yonghai out of good intentions. Who knew that this matter would become more and more troublesome now. "But, the so-called sending Buddha gifts... When I get to the West, I must investigate this matter, after all..."I hesitated to speak."What after all?" Qiu Louyan rolled her eyes at me again and said, "Do you still have reservations about me?""It's not reservation, it's just that I don't know how to explain it to you?""What's wrong? If you have something to say
He was really anxious, Xu Yaxian came to find someone, and the person died in his own home. Now that there is no trace of Xu Yaxian, can he, the second uncle, not get angry in a hurry?Since there is no sign of Xu Yaxian, I am basically not worried. Since Xu Yaxian was not found, it was basically confirmed that nothing happened to her. Otherwise, there would be a body at the scene now."I guess she was probably delayed by other things and didn't have time to find her way here."Seeing Xu Duobao's anxious and angry look, I shook my head speechlessly and reminded him, "You won't give Xu Yaxian a call?"I didn't dare to contact Xu Yaxian before because I was worried that the matter would be exposed and I had to agree with this group of tomb robbers in advance. Now that everyone is dead, there is nothing to worry about. Just call.Xu Duobao slapped his forehead and said, "Look, I was so anxious that I forgot all about this." After saying that, he too
When a few of us walked in, we didn't attract much attention from the people in the yard. Zhang Weidu was also a businessman after all. Apart from relatives and friends, there was nothing surprising about a few strangers coming to express their condolences.After passing through the yard, we came to the door of Zhang's main room.There was a mourning shed set up in the hall, and a curtain made of bamboo slices and colored paper was in the middle. Behind the curtain, the corner of a wooden bed was exposed, which was the place where Zhang Weidu's spirit rested.There were two rows of seats on both sides of the main room. Several people sat there with their children, looking a little tiredly at the Taoist priests at the central altar table who were singing, reciting and beating.Nowadays, it is no longer fashionable to invite monks or Taoist priests to the home for funerals in cities. People are usually taken directly to the funeral parlor, where there ar
"Old Xu, I called you for help, Old Ren. Do you mean you don't trust me by asking all these questions?" I was too lazy to pay attention to Xu Duobao and walked straight into the store.However, as soon as we walked into the store, we noticed something was wrong."Why do I feel weird?" Even Xu Duobao felt something was wrong. There was probably something wrong with this store.It's already past ten o'clock in the evening, and even the antique shops in Liulichang at the foot of the Imperial City usually don't stay open so late. They are basically closed in the evening. After all, the industries are different. Antiques do not rely on customer traffic. As the saying goes, "If you don't open for a year, you will survive for three years if you open." Sometimes one transaction can be worth a year's income."Show your highlights with your moves." I reminded Xu Duobao behind me.The shop seemed a little too quiet. Although the lights were on, the lights s
"It's understandable that everyone in the office building is off work, but it's a bit strange that the doorman didn't arrange for night shift." I paused and motioned to Ren Yonghai, "Let's go in and take a look.""Oh, by the way, the 4th to 7th floors of this building are a hotel." Ren Yonghai added."Hotel? This is even weirder," I couldn't help but frown, "Although it's almost one o'clock in the morning, you can see that the hotel is not popular at all, which is a bit unreasonable."After all, it is a hotel. Even if everyone is asleep, it cannot be as quiet as what we see now, as if there is no living person."It's indeed a bit weird." Ren Yonghai frowned and looked at the surrounding environment. "Although it is the same as what I saw when I came during the day, I always feel that it seems to be more dead now.""Well," I pondered for a moment, and then I made a decision, "Let's go check out the situation separately. I'll go to the hotel and th
