The room inside should be a place for drying horse intestines. Horse intestines hanging everywhere, coupled with the pungent smell of blood, make people feel depressing and terrifying.
Uh-huh...
The fire broke out and the detectives finally got a clear view of what was going on inside the house.
But I saw a person tied to the wooden pillar in the middle. This person was also in a weird kneeling posture. His arms were stretched forward, allowing people to clearly see that his two hands had been
Chop it off!
Blood flowed all over the ground, and the eyes were scarlet.
This time, Xu Zhen could tell without having to observe closely that this person was definitely a corpse and there was no possibility of him being alive.
Because his body had long been stiff and his blood had solidified into a brown color, he had obviously been dead for some time.
Sure enough, when Cheng Xiao stepped forward to check, he shook his head helplessly, indicating that the man was dead.
Next, he raised the person's head to identify him, then nodded and said, "Yes, this person is Liu Sanyang!"
The room was so small that other detectives did not dare to enter the room and could only watch from outside the door.
Xu Zhen could see that this deceased man was different from Magistrate Tong in that his eyes showed no signs of being blinded, and his hands did not only have five fingers cut off, but both hands were cut off violently.
After walking less than twenty meters, they just turned a corner and saw several people with lights on, gathered around the door of a certain house, shouting, as if something big had happened.
Nie stared blankly at Liu Sanyang's body, his eyes extremely complicated, as if he had thought of something, and seemed to be stuck in some kind of memory, and did not respond for a long time.
Xu Zhen and others were shocked.
"Yes," Shen Yu said, "Cheng Baotou, Yudan should also represent a dead person. Should we go over and have a look? I don't know if the other group has found it?"
"Master..." At this time, the steward of Baihua Building introduced, "Lu Yusheng is working as a cook in our Wanhua Building. He has not come to work for two days, so the boss asked me to come over and take a look.
Unexpectedly, after Cheng Xiao brought Xu Zhen and others out, he walked in along the alley of Liu Sanyang's house.
One was mutilated, tortured and dying;
One had his hands chopped off and bled to death;
Although the murderer did not tie his arms, he was still unable to break free from the ropes that tied him because he had no hands.
"Yes, yes!" The older man was curious, "How do you know?"
"Yeah," said a neighbor from behind, "I really can't understand it. Lu Laoliu is so poor that he even sold his wife. How could someone kill him? Did he offend someone?"
I wonder what the relationship is between Liu Sanyang and Magistrate Tong, and what grudges there are between them and the monk?
broken!
"ah?"
"What happened?" Cheng Xiao hurriedly stepped forward and asked those people, "What happened?"
One had his eyes gouged out and his heart stabbed...
"Wow..." Someone ran out quickly, then squatted by the ditch and vomited. The scene was very chaotic.
When I arrived, I saw that this was a relatively dilapidated house, similar to a horse intestine workshop, with the word "Lu Ji" written on the door number.
Listening to everyone's discussion, Xu Zhen looked at the corpse carefully and found that the corpse's death time should be earlier than Liu Sanyang's, but not much earlier.
…
The yard is much smaller than Liu Sanyang's house, and the house only has two main rooms and one side room.
"Ah?" Only then did people recognize Cheng Xiao's police uniform, and one of the older people quickly said, "It's an official. The official is here, great! Official, someone is dead here! Lu Laoliu is dead!"
"
After he killed these two people, he still wanted to take Magistrate Tong to the ruins of Daxiangguo Temple... This seemed... a bit too rushed, right?
Because he was tied up, this man held his chest out and his head high, so he looked even more ferocious and bloody.
"Damn it," Cheng Xiao asked, "but Lu Yusheng?"
But the deceased Lu Yusheng was seen tied to the bed, in the same kneeling position. His eyes were gouged out, and his heart was covered in blood and flesh...
What's going on?
oh……
If Magistrate Tong was still suspected of interrogation, then the scene in front of him was an obvious execution!
In addition, judging from the coagulation state of the blood and the degree of rigor mortis, Liu Sanyang's death time may have been more than twenty-four hours.
When everyone saw this, they were all too frightened to look directly at him, except Xu Zhen.
"Hey? Sir, sir, be careful," the man quickly reminded, "don't be scared!"
Wanhua Tower is only open at night, so the monk should have killed Lu Yusheng first, and then Liu Sanyang. After all, the two lived very close to each other.
"No need!" Finally, Cheng Xiao stood up and said solemnly, "Fu Bin and the others must have found the wrong person! I know who Yudan is! I also know... who the monk is!"
Xu Zhen discovered that the man's eyes had been gouged out, leaving two terrifying bloody holes, while Magistrate Tong's eye had been stabbed blind.
It seems that this monk really planned carefully and came prepared.
As he said that, the man actually chased after him.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen quickly reminded Cheng Xiao: "Cheng Qiaotou, since the horse intestine represents a deceased person, there is also a fish short!"
"Captain Cheng," Shen Yu saw this and asked again, "How about... I go over and take a look?"
At this time, Xu Zhen suddenly realized that Cheng Xiao's expression was wrong.
Previously, the detectives were divided into two groups. Fu Bin and others had already gone to find out the news about Yu Duan. They first had to find out who was still making fish maw in Yanping County, and then they could find the target.
It seems that this place must have been a workshop before.
Based on the shape and volume of the blood, as well as the posture of the deceased, Xu Zhen initially judged that he failed to stop the bleeding in time after his hands were cut off, which ultimately led to death from excessive blood loss.
Could it be that... that monk has an accomplice?
Were these really all done by the monk who came up with the riddle? If he sought revenge on these three people, why did he use different killing methods?
"I...I was scared, so I quickly called his neighbor. You see...what should I do?"
But... don't forget that at that time, the monk had not yet taken action against Magistrate Tong!
Cheng Xiao ignored him and walked straight into the yard.
Xu Zhen frowned. Could it be that Wanhualou also got involved?
"I didn't expect that he would...be like this!
Why?
Xu Zhen has a very good memory. He recognized almost immediately that this older man was the steward of Wanhua Building. He had met this person before when he went to Wanhua Building to find the two women who were beaten by Qiu Batian.
.
"Hurry up, hurry up and report to the official!" someone shouted urgently.
The main room was lit with lights. Although we were mentally prepared, everyone still felt uncomfortable after entering.
Why?
Isn’t that right?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen became even more puzzled. This seems unreasonable, right?
However, the case was so serious that Xu Zhen did not have time to inquire in detail, so he quickly followed Cheng Xiao into the courtyard.
The steward of Wanhua Tower also has a resounding name, Gui Gong.
In other words, the monk did something to Liu Sanyang last night.
Magistrate Tong, Liu Sanyang, Lu Yusheng...
ah?
Xu Zhen and others frowned, but they didn't expect someone to die here.
If the monk only wanted to avenge these three people, then he would just kill his enemies. Why did he go to the Yamen to surrender?
Surrendering may still explain it, but why did he come up with a riddle?
Suddenly, Xu Zhen remembered what the monk said to Song Zhili: The game has just begun, and the excitement is yet to come!
oh……
Xu Zhen took a breath of cold air. Could it be that... that monk had a more terrifying purpose?
