"Brother Zheng, are you awake?"

Before I had time to think carefully about what that 'dream' was, the back door of the car was suddenly opened, and Liuzi's head poked in from the outside.

I came back to my senses and touched my forehead secretly. It was full of sweat, but it was dark and I didn't notice it. I glanced out the window and I didn't know when the car had stopped. It seemed that the host had arrived.

Where you live: "When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?"

As I said that, I sat up straight. The stickiness on my back made me a little uncomfortable. Needless to say, I knew it must be the 'dream' that made me break out in a cold sweat.

Liuzi shook his head and opened the car door and said: Captain Xia saw that you were sleeping so hard and knew that you were very tired, so I let you sleep for a while. Captain Xia and I went inside to understand the situation first.

After listening to Liuzi's words, I nodded, then took out a cigarette from my pocket and handed it to Liuzi. I lit one myself and took a long puff to refresh my mind. I got out of the car with the cigarette in my mouth and asked

How is Liuzi's investigation going? Are there any clues?

As soon as he said this, Liu Zi's expression became serious, he put the cigarette behind his ears, pulled me and said softly: "Team Xia seems to have discovered something, so I asked me to come out and call you."

"Let's go up and have a look!" I heard that there were clues, but I didn't have any ink, so I took two puffs on the cigarette in my hand and threw it away, and then followed Liu Zi and walked inside.

When I went upstairs, I found that the surrounding cordon had been removed. It seemed that the police department had taken measures to close the case. After all, this was a murder case, not an ordinary petty theft.

When Liuzi was about to go in, I suddenly pulled him and asked him, "Where does Qin San, the neighbor who found the deceased, live?"

Liu Zi was a little confused as to why I asked this question, but he still pointed to the door next to me and said, "I live here, but Qin San is staying in the police station now."

I nodded and said nothing more.

The case had just occurred, and evidence collection needed to be carried out on-site at the host's home, so there was still blood flowing on the ground.

I discovered a problem before. The host's home was the first scene of the incident, but except for the blood on the floor, the rest of the decorations were not chaotic at all.

In other words, the deceased did not struggle much in the room when he died. Of course, he does not deny that the murderer placed it there specially after committing the crime.

Liu Zi pointed to the direction of the bathroom and told me that Team Xia was there.

I didn't think much about it elsewhere, and went directly to the bathroom with Liu Zi.

The bathroom door was open, and as soon as I walked in, I saw Captain Xia standing in front of the bathroom window wearing gloves, tinkering with something.

I called Captain Xia. Captain Xia looked back at me and Liuzi and then waved to me and said, "Xiao Zheng, come here and take a look."

I took two steps forward and looked in the direction Captain Xia pointed.

The bathroom window is the kind that can be opened and closed by sliding and pulling, but the place that Team Xia pointed to was outside the window. I thought Team Xia had made some big discovery, so I seriously put my head over and took a look.

I was stunned.

Outside the window, there were no corpses as I imagined, but bloodstains.

Blood stains are not difficult to find. They are everywhere in the host's house. But the forensic intuition tells me that these blood stains are not that simple.

Thinking of this, I took out the gloves from my pocket and put them on my hands. I put a little blood on my thumb and gently put it to my nose and smelled it. Just this smell really helped me find some clues.

"This blood stain shows no signs of drying, and the smell is stronger than the other blood stains in the room. Based on the color judgment, it is certain that this blood stain was not left together with the blood stains of the deceased."

"In other words, this blood stain is most likely not from the deceased!"

After saying that, I looked at Team Xia.

Team Xia obviously also thought of this possibility: "Collect it and compare it with the blood stains of the deceased, and then compare it with the extra cheek to see if it is the blood stain of the host or the blood stain of the extra cheek.

.”

I nodded, waved to Liu Zi behind me, asked him to bring the tools, and then collected the newly discovered blood stains outside the window.

After waiting for the collection to be completed, Team Xia finally said: "The entire scene was thoroughly checked before the deceased was found, and no second broken corpse was found. I also did a rough scan when I came here just now. Don't worry.

Even though the body was said to be dead, no body parts were found.”

I frowned and couldn't help but murmur in my heart.

If there is no second body in the host's home, then who has the extra shame?

After pondering for a while, I said: "Captain Xia, no matter what, this face must be extra. It also means that there is another corpse that was killed. Since the host does not have one at home, then it proves that this corpse

Will appear elsewhere..."

Before I finished speaking, Team Xia nodded and said it made sense. Then Team Xia issued an order: "This matter cannot be delayed. I will drive back to the station now and order people to investigate and see if the broken bodies can be found. I will call

Call the team members to pick you up, and you and Liu Zi will take advantage of this time to check at the host's house to see if you can find any other clues."

After finishing speaking, Team Xia took off his gloves and left the host's house.

Watching Captain Xia walk out the door, Liuzi curled his lips and complained: "Brother Zheng, isn't it obvious that Captain Xia has captured us two as coolies? It's almost four o'clock now, and we have worked overtime all night."

Six people could think of it, so of course I could see it too? But I also had some thoughts about this case and wanted to figure it out as soon as possible, so I didn't refuse.

I smiled at Liuzi and said, "Stop complaining. If we look carefully and find nothing, we will leave directly."

Liuzi didn't object even though he said a few words, he put on his gloves and started investigating with me at the host's house.

There are several mysteries in the host’s case that are hard to figure out.

The first one Liuzi once told me was that the deceased was discovered by his neighbor Qin San. Qin San appeared to be fine when he discovered the deceased and called the police, but when the police arrived at the scene, they found Qin San lying on the ground.

, holding the host's broken finger in his hand, about to put it into his mouth and chew it.

The second one is the expression left on the host's face before he died.

The third one is the Taoist talisman and a pool of unknown black liquid that I found in the host's stomach during the autopsy.

There were obvious signs of being torn on the talisman. The host should have eaten the talisman. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the talisman to appear in the host's stomach.

Thinking of this, I immediately called Liuzi and asked Liuzi to help me search the host's house to see if I could find anything like a symbol.

I also specifically asked the six sons to wear gloves when searching, and try not to damage anything in the house. The case has not yet been concluded, and no one can say for sure whether the things in the house are useful or not. Only by being careful can we be foolproof.

Liuzi responded, took a pair of gloves from me, and started looking for them in the house.

As for the extra human skin, I think it should have come from the host's home, but the host's home has been searched by the police, and they only had to dig up three feet of the ground.

I asked Liu Zi to find the talisman just with the attitude of giving it a try. If it is useful, the things related to the case should have been taken to the police station as evidence long ago, and there should be nothing left at the host's house.

But I said it too early. Just after I finished muttering, I saw Liu Zi holding a box in his hand and running toward me in a hurry.

"Brother Zheng, look what this is."

Liuzi put the box in front of me and opened it.

I frowned and glanced at the contents of the box, and my eyes suddenly brightened.

This box is very delicate, made of wood, and has a light fragrance. It's not the box that makes me feel that I'm using it, but the things inside it.

A stack of yellow talisman papers lay quietly inside the quaint wooden box, and there was a small iron box next to the talisman papers.

I took out the talisman inside with my gloved hands and placed it in my palm.

The yellow talisman paper looked very much like the Taoist talismans used in movies to catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits. Neither Liuzi nor I could understand the red spell painted on it.

I put the talisman paper in front of my nose and smelled it. There was no strange smell, but there was a faint fragrance.

"Use your phone to take a photo of it and compare it with the talisman inside the host's stomach." I took out my phone and said while bringing up the camera.

Liuzi frowned and took out the iron box next to the talisman inside the wooden box.

The iron box was round, nothing special. After weighing it, Liu Zi probably felt that there was something inside, so he opened the iron box smoothly.

"Brother, what's in here?" Liuzi opened the iron box, took off his gloves without any precaution, dipped his fingers into the contents and asked me with a frown.

I put down the talisman in my hand and looked at Liuzi's hand.

The liquid on Liuzi's hand was transparent, and when he pinched it gently with his two fingers, it became sticky. It felt like glue, and it was a little disgusting.

This thing reminds me of the unknown liquid stuck in the host's stomach.

Could it be that these are the things in the host's stomach? I originally thought they were secretions, but why are they here too!

Thinking of this, I immediately told Liu Zi not to mess around, maybe this thing could be harmful.

Liuzi smiled and said I was too careful, what harm could this little thing do.

I ignored him, picked up a cotton swab and put on gloves to collect some of the transparent liquid inside and put it into a test tube. Maybe I can find some clues when I go back and do some testing.

After covering it, I thought about putting the box back in its place, so that when the Xia team came to see the scene tomorrow, they would think someone had damaged the scene and cause unnecessary trouble.

Thinking of this, I asked Liu Zi beside me: Where did you find this box? Let's send him back to where he came from.

I finished speaking but didn't hear Liuzi's response. I frowned. Just when I was about to speak again, I suddenly noticed from the corner of my eye that Liuzi was looking nervously at the cotton swab in his hand.
