An hour later, the young detective team completed the basic inspection of the scene and gathered together to exchange opinions.
Ye Xiaofei said: "According to the traces at the scene, there are no signs of outsiders entering the hotel room. The locks, doors and windows are all intact. It is certain that when Shani died, she was the only one in the room."
Lin Miao added: "The surveillance shows that Shani returned to the hotel room at 7:25 last night and never left. And no one entered her room in the twelve hours before and after this time. So.
Xiao Fei’s conclusion should be accurate.”
Hu Zhi also said: "I just took photos of the entire scene and found that all the items were placed very neatly, with no signs of being turned over, and Shani showed no signs of struggle or harm."
After the three people gave their observation results, they looked at each other, and all gasped in a low voice: "Secret room murder?"
The so-called secret room murder refers to a murder case in a confined space. There is only the deceased in the entire scene and no one else is present. So who could the murderer be?
At this time, Geng Ping also brought the preliminary results of the forensic examination: "The deceased died of cardiac paralysis due to excessive stimulation."
"Can you find out what type of stimulation it is, joy? Fear? Sadness? Or what?" Zhuge Qingrou asked.
Geng Ping shook his head and said: "It's not certain yet, but the forensic doctor said the deceased might have been frightened to death."
"Scared to death?"
The room was already giving people a sinister feeling because of the murder. After hearing this, everyone felt a chill on their backs, as if someone was hiding in a dark corner and looking over with sinister eyes.
Ye Xiaofei trembled all over and lowered his voice: "Could it be...haunted?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? There are no ghosts in this world." Hu Zhi retorted, but his face turned pale.
Lin Miao was the timid one, so she quickly took Zhuge Qingrou's hand and said, "Qingrou, have you discovered anything?"
Zhuge glanced at Li Xuan softly.
Li Xuan had been watching. When he saw this, he smiled and said: "You are a detective, I am just watching the citizens. If you have any ideas, just say it."
Zhuge Qingrou nodded and said: "Based on the evidence collected so far, this case appears to be a secret room murder... But I think the actual situation may not be that simple. This may be a murder involving supernatural forces!"
"Supernatural power?" Lin Miao was startled, "Qingrou, is what Xiaofei guessed true?"
Zhuge shook his head softly and said: "It's not a ghost...but maybe it's something more difficult to deal with than a ghost."
"What is it?" Everyone shuddered.
Zhuge Qingju said: "I'm not sure yet. I have to go to Anzhou University to ask Professor Luo Shiyan for advice. He is an authority on mysticism. I think he may be able to give us some inspiration."
After the on-site investigation was completed, everyone left one after another, with Li Xuan and Zhuge Qingrou walking at the back.
"Master, what do you think?" Zhuge Qingrou asked.
Li Xuan said: "Tell me first."
Zhuge Qingju said: "First of all, it is not a devil, because no Yin Qi residue was found at the scene."
Li Xuan nodded and said: "That's right. If the devil is causing trouble, the yin energy will definitely be left behind. And some of the yin energy remaining in the hotel room is emitted by the deceased himself."
Zhuge Qingrou received the affirmation and gained a lot of confidence, and continued: "Secondly, they are not monsters. They have physical bodies and will leave traces when they come in and out, but there will be no traces when they are destroyed on site."
Li Xuan said: "Well, that's right. No matter how strong a monster is, it is still a physical entity. Even a monster that is good at concealment will leave traces when it commits crimes."
Zhuge Qingju said: "Another possibility is evil spirit. But I carefully investigated the entire room and found no evil spirit at all."
Li Xuan nodded: "Evil spirits must accumulate to take shape and last for a long time. When this hotel was built, a Feng Shui master should have been hired to perform rituals, so that all kinds of evil spirits cannot invade."
Zhuge Qingju said: "It's neither monsters nor evil spirits. I really can't think of any other supernatural power. But I found that there is something wrong with the table in the hotel. The items placed on it seem to be sacrificing something... But
I’m not very familiar with Western occultism, so I have to seek help from professionals.”
"I'll go with you." Li Xuan said, "I'll also gain some knowledge by the way."
Occultism seems to be a subject that has been abandoned by modern society.
For example, alchemy, a part of occult science, has long been replaced by modern chemistry. Chemistry can do anything that cannot be made by alchemy.
Another example is spiritual practice, which is basically synonymous with liar.
Yoga and astrology, which can be accepted by the general public, were once part of the occult, but compared with their original appearance, they have long changed beyond recognition.
Although Li Xuan knew that whether it was magic or witchcraft, it still existed, operated, and even had huge power in the hidden parts of the world. But on the surface, Li Xuan had never heard of any modern
People are studying this kind of thing.
Li Xuan was not surprised until he heard Luo Shiyan's name from Geng Ping and Zhuge Qingrou.
Na Shiyan, 45 years old, is a professor in the Department of Philosophy at Anju University. However, this professor neither studies materialism nor existentialism, nor is he good at any of the schools of modern philosophy. He actually specializes in Eastern and Western mysticism.
And he has very profound attainments. The most surprising thing is that he is actually the vice president of the World Occult Society.
"Is there such a thing as a mysterious society?" Li Xuan was surprised.
Zhuge Qingrou suddenly looked surprised: "You don't know? They publish the horoscopes every year. They are the most authoritative in the world!"
"Uh..." Li Xuan was speechless. Apart from knowing that he was a Capricorn, he knew nothing about zodiac signs.
By the way, I remember when I was fighting against the Twelve Zodiac Golden Immortals in the cosmic fairy world, I forgot to ask them if they had used their own magic power to influence the earth. When we meet again in this life, we must ask clearly.
A group of people took a bus to Anju University.
Returning to his alma mater, Li Xuan felt very emotional.
Especially when passing by the stadium and seeing many young and fit girls jumping around, Li Xuan felt that it was a bit too impulsive to drop out of school.
When he arrived at the Department of Philosophy, Geng Ping called Luo Shiyan's phone number and made an appointment to meet at the Violet Cafe on campus.
Not long after, a slovenly middle-aged teacher walked into the coffee shop. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, even his shirt buttons were buttoned in the wrong position, and even the leather shoes on his two feet were completely different!
Anthony whispered: "Master Xuan, I thought I was sloppy enough when I was doing research, but I didn't expect there was someone more ruthless than me. I think he must be a very good scientist!"
Li Xuan stared at Luo Shiyan closely, feeling very surprised.
